Chapter 1027: Chapter 1027
The dozen or so people Xu Qiangsen brought weren’t mercenaries; they were genuine assassins.
These assassins headed straight for Xiao Li’s group of mercenaries, scaring Xiao Li and the others.
“What the hell, aren’t they on our side?” Xiao Li shouted.
Xu Qiangsen laughed coldly, “People on our side wouldn’t take money from two parties. Kill them all.”
Xu Qiangsen’s words were clearly a jab at Xu Zhuang.
This also meant that in Xu Qiangsen’s eyes, he had completely severed ties with his uncle’s family.
Xu Zhuang’s face turned dark, “Even your father wouldn’t dare speak to me like that. Looks like you really need a lesson.”
But right now, Xu Zhuang could only rely on these mercenaries.
“What are you all standing around for? Do you want to die?”
Xiao Li and the others had no desire to die. Especially in the blink of an eye, two or three people here had already been taken out.
The others grabbed their weapons and began to fight back, and the scene quickly descended into chaos.
However, these mercenaries, both in terms of numbers and strength, were no match for these assassins.
In the end, only Xiao Li was left. Although Xiao Li wasn’t very strong, he was quick-witted.
To save his own life, he suddenly turned coat and grabbed Xu Zhuang.
Then he said to Xu Qiangsen, “Young Master Xu, what do you want me to do? Just give the word.”
Xu Qiangsen laughed heartily, very satisfied with Xiao Li’s action.
He immediately ordered the assassins to stand down and actually spared Xiao Li’s life.
Xu Zhuang was furious, “You bastard, I paid you!”
Xiao Li said dismissively, “No matter how much money you offer, is it more important than my life?”
Immediately, Xiao Li simply took a rope and tied Xu Zhuang up.
Xu Qiangsen was quite pleased, “Well done, I didn’t expect you to have such talent.”
Then, with a cold gaze, he mocked Xu Zhuang and Xu Mengyan, “There you go, you father and daughter are all together now. Shouldn’t you be thanking me?”
Xu Mengyan looked at Xu Qiangsen with utter disdain, “You deserve the fate you have today.”
This sentence immediately broke Xu Qiangsen’s composure. Now, he was a wreck of a person, neither human nor ghost.
He roared at Xu Mengyan, “All of this is thanks to Zhang Yang, and you still dare to carry Zhang Yang’s child.”
“Xiao Li, do it now, cut open this bitch’s stomach and bring me that bastard inside.”
Xu Zhuang’s eyes flared with anger, “Xu Qiangsen, you little bastard, dare you?”
“Of course, I dare. At this point, what wouldn’t I dare?” Xu Qiangsen showed a twisted smile.
“Today, I’ll really cut open your daughter’s stomach in front of you and let you see your wonderful grandson in advance.”
Xu Qiangsen was completely insane, renouncing all family ties, leaving Xu Zhuang deeply regretting ever considering family bonds.
Now, all he could do was watch helplessly as his daughter was about to be violated.
With no other option, Xu Zhuang had to soften his tone and plead with Xu Qiangsen, “Dear nephew, after all, we’re family. Uncle knows you’ve been wronged, but every grievance has its perpetrator and every debt has its debtor. Uncle will join forces with your father to deal with Zhang Yang.”
“Let’s talk this over; your father wouldn’t allow you to do this.”
Xu Qiangsen laughed even more joyfully, “Uncle, are you begging me?”
Xu Zhuang had no choice but to concede, “Let’s just say that Uncle is begging you, don’t be rash.”
“Alright, considering that you have treated me well over the years, I’ll give you this one chance.”
Xu Zhuang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking Xu Qiangsen had taken his words to heart.
But unexpectedly, Xu Qiangsen said, “Uncle, first explain to me why you didn’t act when my father asked you to kill Zhang Yang earlier. As long as you can explain this, I’ll spare your daughter.”
Xu Zhuang’s expression changed, but now he had to lie to buy some time.
“Dear nephew, you know Zhang Yang’s strength. I couldn’t possibly kill him with my abilities, and I was coerced by Zhang Yang to come here. The world isn’t as simple as you and your father think. In fact…”
Before Xu Zhuang could continue, Xu Qiangsen snarled, “Do you take me for a fool? Can’t I tell that you and Zhang Yang are in cahoots?”
“I gave you a chance, and you couldn’t use it. Don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
“Xiao Li, aren’t you going to act?” Xu Qiangsen ordered.
But Xiao Li replied, “Young Master Xu, I don’t have a decent knife in hand. Could you lend me one?”
Xu Qiangsen immediately called Xiao Li over because he had many weapons on his wheelchair, all prepared for these assassins.
Xiao Li had noticed this, which is why he asked for one.
Xiao Li walked over and selected a very suitable knife from the weapons.
Seeing Xiao Li being so dilly-dally, Xu Qiangsen urged, “Stop looking, hurry up and do it.”
Xiao Li chuckled, “Don’t rush, I need to test how sharp this knife is.”
Hearing this, Xu Qiangsen instantly started cursing, but his voice abruptly stopped halfway because the knife was suddenly at his throat.
“Bastard, what are you doing? Dare you betray me?”
Xu Zhuang and Xu Mengyan on the side were also shocked by this scene.
This mercenary had turned again, just whose side was this guy on?
Xiao Li sneered, “We mercenaries do what we’re paid for. Whoever pays more is boss.”
“We can betray our employer, but we never betray money.”
This sounded a bit silly, but now it seemed quite reasonable, giving Xu Zhuang hope.
Xu Qiangsen was furious, the thing he hated most right now was betrayal.
“Dog, you’re asking for death.”
“Really? Then let me remind you, in our line of work, few are afraid to die. Had you realized this, you shouldn’t have trusted my words earlier.”
This indeed was the truth. When those assassins came charging, none of these mercenaries hesitated.
And although Xiao Li wasn’t very strong or outstanding, he had a sharp mind.
His act of surrender was merely a temporary measure.
“Get him killed at once,” Xu Qiangsen ordered the assassins.
Xiao Li grabbed Xu Qiangsen by the hair, pressing the sharp blade against his throat.
“I dare you to come, unless you want to see me take Young Master Xu down with me.”
Once again, Xu Qiangsen felt the threat of death, and his crotch suddenly became wet.
This had become Xu Qiangsen’s habitual stress response. Whenever fear struck, he would wet himself.
At such moments, Xu Qiangsen had to face both the fear and the shame of his dignity being trampled on.
