Chapter 141: You Are!
Chapter 141: You Are!
"Don't take action yet?" Coke, sitting in the driver's seat, looked at Jiang Cheng with confusion after hearing his words.
"Kid, you don't want to keep them alive, do you? That guy Yue Shan is the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang. He's responsible for countless deaths, and you know that better than us. His wife and daughter should also die. Oh, I get it now."
Coke revealed a meaningful smile, "You want to use them as hostages to threaten him into giving up the money? Haha, with Nightingale around, we don't need to do that. She's a Mind Master and can easily hypnotize ordinary people."
Jiang Cheng was taken aback.
Upon reflection, it seemed plausible.
It was reasonable for a Mind Master to control others.
"Is that so?"
Nightingale turned and asked.
"That's one of the reasons."
Jiang Cheng nodded, "Even the most evil person wouldn't harm their own family. By using them as leverage, we can squeeze more money out of him."
"And the other reason?"
"The other reason is that I think Yue Shan's wife and daughter might not be aware of his actions, or even if they are, their involvement would be limited. Of course, regardless of their knowledge, as Yue Shan's family, they've enjoyed the benefits of his evil deeds, so they should also bear the consequences. But that consequence shouldn't be as severe as death."
With Yue Shan dead and their plan to take his possessions, it would be difficult for Yue Shan's family to continue living here, let alone maintain their previous standard of living.
This kind of suffering might be more painful than killing them.
"Kid, you..."
Coke was speechless.
Nightingale considered his words seriously for a moment, then nodded, "What you said does make some sense, and this is your task anyway. I can agree to it, but I want to remind you that while they might not be able to do anything to you, your family is just ordinary people, so it's not so simple."
Jiang Cheng was stunned.
Yes, although he wore a mask, what if something happened? He should consider his family's safety.
Eradicating the root of the problem seemed like the best choice.
"Don't rush. Take your time to think it through," Nightingale said calmly.
...
At the same time, in a villa to the right of Yue Shan's residence, a figure was also watching through the back window of another villa.
The room was dark, but one could vaguely see several people inside, each seemingly holding a gun.
"Big Brother, when are we going to make our move? We've been waiting for a few days," one of them muttered to the man by the window.
"Yeah, that guy is the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang. They say he made a big haul when he left the slums. He probably has over a million on him."
"A million! That's enough to buy plenty of Secret Medicines and even some Heaven Martial Arts."
"Heaven Martial Arts? You're dreaming. First, you need to open up the acupoints for the Human Martial Art you're practicing."
Laughter filled the room.
"Don't be impatient," the man by the window said slowly.
"We've spent time infiltrating this place and need to understand his habits. Once everything is prepared, we can make our move."
"Big Brother, when will we be ready?"
"Hehe."
The man by the window smiled, "When the lights go out in the living room, we'll make our move."
"!!!"
Hearing this, the others in the room almost jumped with excitement.
"Old Three, we're counting on you to open the door."
"Don't worry, I've got it covered."
"The man who was called out patted his chest."
"Once we're inside, take out the two men, then we'll get the location of the money from that guy, Yue Shan. After we get the cash, we'll finish him off. His wife is quite a looker; we'll take her with us and have some fun."
"He also has a ten-year-old daughter."
"Damn, you won't even spare a little girl? Do you have any humanity? But, I guess we can't let her go."
Laughter echoed once more.
The man crouching by the window also revealed a smile.
When it came to women, he was more concerned about the money they carried.
After this job, they wouldn't need to work for at least two or three months.
But the next second, his smile froze.
He saw two figures walking towards Yue Shan's house.
Under the moonlight, the two figures seemed to be wearing masks, emitting a faint glow.
"Not good."
He muttered.
"What's wrong, big brother?"
The others' faces changed upon hearing this.
"Someone has made their move first."
The man's face darkened.
"What?"
The others rushed to the window, and indeed, the two figures had reached Yue Shan's doorstep, up to something unknown.
"What should we do, big brother? Should we shoot first and take him out?" One of them raged.
How could this be? They had prepared so much, only to have someone beat them to it?
"You're the one who's messed up!"
Someone nearby kicked him, "Shooting now would only alert the people inside."
"But what should we do then?"
"Should we rush in as well? Damn it, we're five of us with five guns. The fifth guy has a sniper rifle; even a fourth or fifth-rank Force Warrior would be taken out!"
"Don't rush."
The leader narrowed his eyes.
"Let's see what's going on first."
To be honest, he didn't quite understand what those two were up to either.
If they were competitors, the lights in the living room were still on. Entering at this moment, if the people inside fired back, the gunshots would alert the guards, and they'd be walking into a trap.
But if they weren't competitors, who would wear a mask?
The two at the door were none other than Jiang Cheng and Nightingale.
As the voices from inside reached his ears, Jiang Cheng's heart stirred. He activated the Iron Wall Talisman and placed his hand on his waist.
Nightingale spread her palm, and several steel needles floated in the air.
The people inside continued their lively conversation, unaware that the door lock was slowly opening, as if an invisible hand was unlocking it from within.
Until a crisp 'click' startled those dining in the living room.
Confusion filled their eyes, wondering why the door had opened on its own."
The next moment, the door was pushed open, and several piercing sounds echoed.
The two men inside hadn't realized what was happening. Their necks were instantly pierced by multiple steel needles, and before they could even scream, they fell into a pool of blood, their legs twitching uncontrollably.
They were Yue Shan's two underlings.
At the table, there were three more people: a man in his forties with slightly graying temples, a well-groomed woman in her thirties, and a ten-year-old girl.
The three were still dazed and didn't even notice the needles hovering in front of them.
The door was closed.
Jiang Cheng and Nightingale entered.
"You! Who are you?"
Yue Shan finally reacted, his face turning pale.
