124: Chapter 124 Confrontation 124: Chapter 124 Confrontation Chen Hai had found the men, but he hesitated on how exactly to make his move.
Today was already the 25th of August, and he needed to rush to Capital City for school.
In terms of time, he could not afford any delays.
He practiced soul departure, specifically visiting the room where Hei and Wu were staying, to examine the situation inside.
Both of those guys carried weapons like daggers with them at all times.
If he and Sun Jinzhong were to rashly confront them without using guns, there would inevitably be danger.
Should a situation arise where they hadn’t found the money and ended up being stabbed by Hei and Wu, it would be too late for regrets!
But what about using guns?
This was a town, and the sound of gunfire would inevitably attract some unnecessary trouble.
“Cousin, now that we’ve found them, what should we do?
Should we just storm in?”
Sun Jinzhong was even more impatient than Chen Hai, eagerly asking him with a look of anticipation.
“Let’s wait a bit and see how things unfold.
If all else fails, we’ll wait for nightfall.
I’ll think of a way to get them out of the hostel,” Chen Hai said, frowning as he pondered.
“Alright, we’ll do as you say!” Sun Jinzhong scratched the back of his head and nodded.
Just past six in the evening, Hei and Wu, who had been holed up in their room all day, finally opened the door and walked out onto the street.
Man is iron, food is steel, one day without a meal and one feels the deal.
At this time, it was dinner time, and it was clear these two were going out to grab something to eat.
Shangzhuang Town was small in scale, with streets that were relatively old and worn.
During the daytime, the streets were bustling with people, but at night, the number of pedestrians dwindled significantly.
A little past six in the evening, it was merely dusk, the setting sun was fiery, not yet fully set.
However, the street below the small hostel was already much quieter compared to during the day.
“Brother Zhong, let’s go!” Chen Hai, who had been closely watching the situation, now stood up and called out to Sun Jinzhong.
“With so many people around on the street, are we to make our move now?” Sun Jinzhong asked, puzzled and uncertain.
“Brother Zhong, if we find them and corner them in their hostel room, they’re sure to fight to the death,”
“But on the streets of Shangzhuang Town, what do you think their reaction will be if they run into us?” Chen Hai asked with a smile.
“They have guilt in their hearts, and they’re carrying the weight of murder,”
“Here in Shangzhuang Town, if they suddenly see the two of us, their first reaction shouldn’t be to fight us, but to turn and run…”
“Exactly, that’s it!” Chen Hai smiled and nodded.
Neither they nor Hei and Wu wanted to draw the attention of the police.
When Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong left the hostel and appeared on the street outside, Hei and Wu had just sat down in a nearby small restaurant.
Just as Chen Hai had anticipated, from a distance, when Hei and Wu saw Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong approaching them, they looked at each other, didn’t say a word, and turned to run.
Two parties, one escaping, the other in pursuit.
Passersby on the streets of the town, although they witnessed this scene, at most displayed curious faces, taking a few more glances.
In the situation where they couldn’t figure out what was really happening, no one was rash enough to meddle in the affairs of others.
Shangzhuang Town was only so big; in a mere ten minutes or so, the few people had already run across the small town and reached the wild outskirts.
Seeing that Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong were persistently chasing after them without giving up.
Hei and Wu looked at each other, nodded, and came to a halt near a small grove of trees.
“Two little bastards, you’ve got some nerve, chasing us all the way here?” snarled Hei with a ferocious face, his hand flipping to reveal a flickering cold light from the dagger now in his grasp.
As for Wu, his face was equally ruthless, drawing the short blade he always carried.
The two of them had committed a crime and fled towards Shangzhuang Town, never parting with their weapons.
In those times, if one was determined, it was not too difficult to secure weapons like daggers or blades.
They did not question why Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong had managed to follow them to Yuanling County’s Shangzhuang Town.
Anyway, from the very first moment they saw Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong, they were certain that the two were there for them.
Seeing Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong drawing near, Hei and Wu, filled with murderous intent, weapons in hand, charged at Chen Hai and his companion.
“Bang…” a gunshot rang out.
Hei, who was at the forefront, had his chest burst open with a bloody hole, his body suddenly halted, then swayed and collapsed with a thud.
The man who fired the shot was naturally Sun Jinzhong.
Although the Wang Ba Box had modest power, at less than ten meters, this short distance was still enough to pose a fatal threat.
Previously, Hei and Wu might have been just ordinary construction workers, but after they robbed and cruelly killed their companion, they had become real fugitives on the run.
The thought of being knocked unconscious by them and robbed made Sun Jinzhong’s teeth itch with hatred.
Having finally found them, he acted without mercy.
Although he knew that murder was against the law, Chen Hai did not stop Sun Jinzhong’s actions.
After all, by the time they had chased Hei and Wu all the way to the wilderness outside the town, Chen Hai had already been prepared to open fire.
Faced with Hei and Wu, their faces distorted in rage, weapons in hand, lunging towards him and Sun Jinzhong, other than shooting, he had no better options.
To put it bluntly, seeing the stance of Hei and Wu, they probably intended to ensure that Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong would never leave this place.
For men who could kill their own companion over uneven shares of loot, could they expect any mercy towards them from Hei and Wu? Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
“They have a gun…” On the other side, Wu, who was also charging towards Chen Hai, panicked upon seeing Hei shot down.
“Gentlemen, I admit, taking your money was wrong, but even so, it’s not a crime deserving death!”
Seeing the muzzle of Sun Jinzhong’s gun now turned towards him, Wu, utterly defeated, tossed away the short blade and crouched on the ground, clutching his head.
Seeing this, Sun Jinzhong was taken aback.
Then, after coming to his senses, he walked over to the fallen Hei and checked on his condition.
It was his first time using a gun, and naturally, he had no accuracy to speak of.
But now, the shot that hit Hei had struck right at his heart.
