Chapter 158: Guess if I Have Bullets
Chapter 158: Guess if I Have Bullets
The middle-aged woman was indeed furious.
What she thought was a sure thing had taken a complete 180-degree turn.
As she left the stall, she didn't notice that someone was already eyeing her.
The two men in the corner saw the middle-aged woman storming towards them, and they probably guessed the outcome as well.
Disappointment was inevitable, but there was also confusion.
However, the middle-aged woman didn't walk straight towards them. Instead, she gave them a look as she passed by.
The two men understood her signal and followed her for several dozen meters until they were out of sight of Chen Sao's position. Then they stopped.
"Sis, what happened? Did they see through you?" the older brother asked.
"Probably not."
The middle-aged woman's anger faded, and she frowned, "If they had seen through my intentions, they wouldn't have had that reaction. I think someone inside disagreed, so they had that expression."
"Damn, who is the idiot who doesn't know better?" the younger brother cursed.
He had thought that tonight he would be able to spend the night with that woman.
"So, are we just going to let it go?"
The older brother was reluctant.
Those two women were quite attractive, and if they were sent to the club, they could make a good amount of money.
Of course, the lion's share would still go to the middle-aged woman.
But they could also get a small fortune, much more than other ways of making money.
"Of course we can't just let it go!"
The middle-aged woman narrowed her eyes, "In a couple of days, I'll go and test their attitude again, or find an excuse to bring them to my place. At that time, you two hide first, and when they come in, we'll catch them all at once."
"Yeah, yeah!"
The younger brother clapped his hands excitedly.
"But what if they don't want to go?"
"If they don't want to go, if they don't want to go, then we'll find some help."
The middle-aged woman revealed a cold smile.
If they don't listen to reason.
Then they'll have to be forced.
Every year, so many people go missing in the outer borough, and unless they're important figures, the law enforcement team can't be bothered to do anything.
"Alright, that's it for today. I also need to go for a beauty treatment. I'll contact you when it's time for action."
After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she left without hesitation.
It wasn't until she was a good distance away that the two brothers started cursing.
"She's getting a beauty treatment? She's probably going to meet up with that pretty boy again."
"Yeah, every time we make money, she takes the lion's share. We brothers only get the scraps."
"What can we do? Her son is connected to the club, and we can't afford to offend them."
As the two cursed, they walked into an alley on the side of the street.
Jiang Cheng stood over ten meters away, pondering briefly before following them.
Those three people were just standing on the street, and he didn't dare to get too close, so he couldn't hear what they were saying.
If he approached them suddenly, there was also a risk of alerting them.
Now that they had separated, it was a good opportunity.
Not to mention the middle-aged woman, but those two men didn't look like good people. Most likely, they were planning something against Chen Sao.
If that was the case, it was best to strike first. Three people, not one could be spared.
If not, then they'd just beat them up as a warning not to go down the wrong path.
Turning into the alley, the walls were covered in various graffiti and vulgarities, and the ground was littered with trash.
There were many neighborhoods in the outer borough, but there were also places like this, similar to a slum, with hygiene conditions not much better.
The two men ahead cursed and swore, unaware that someone was tailing them.
Finally, they arrived at a house, and one of them took out a key and unlocked the door.
The two men entered one after the other, and just as they were about to close the door, a figure suddenly appeared and slashed the back of the man's neck with a hand chop.
Before losing consciousness, the man cursed, his body went limp, and he collapsed.
"!"
The man in front reacted and turned around, only to feel a cold, icy object pressed against his forehead.
Glancing at the corner of his eye, the man was terrified to his core.
Holy shit!
It was a gun!
"Spare me, spare me, sir!"
His legs trembled uncontrollably.
He had no idea what he and his brother had done to provoke such a formidable enemy.
At that moment, Jiang Cheng's face was covered by a mask, revealing only his eyes.
He scanned the room; even describing it as a pigsty would be an understatement.
Jiang Cheng shut the door with his hand and asked, "Talk. What did you two say to the middle-aged woman in the red dress on the street just now?"
"Huh?"
The man's mouth hung open.
"N-Nothing much..."
"My patience has its limits."
Jiang Cheng's voice turned cold. "I'll give you one last chance. If you don't tell the truth, you can guess whether there's a bullet in this gun or not."
"No, no, no!"
The man finally panicked.
He knew that if the person in front of him pulled the trigger, no one would avenge him.
It would be as if nothing had happened.
"I'll talk, I'll talk! Will you let me go?"
"Cut the crap."
Jiang Cheng didn't bother to respond. "I'll give you a reminder. After you finish talking, I'll let the guy on the floor speak again. If your stories don't match, hmph."
"I'll talk, I'll talk!"
The man's face was filled with grief.
"The whole thing has nothing to do with us. It was all that fat woman's doing!"
Even if he was a fool, he could guess that the masked man had some connection with those two women.
So, in his mind, he cursed the middle-aged woman's ancestors for eighteen generations.
"Continue."
"Yes, it's like this. That fat woman took a liking to the two women mending clothes on the street. She said that as long as we bring them to the club, we can sell them for a good price. So, we found an excuse to approach those two women."
"What excuse?"
"J-Job... job hunting."
The man's voice trembled. "We were told to offer them a job, knock them out, and take them to the club. She wanted us to be her henchmen, but we refused. Our conscience wouldn't let us do such a thing."
"Nonsense!"
Jiang Cheng spat out two words. "If you don't tell the truth, I'll shoot your leg first."
To be honest, when he entered, he was also afraid of harming innocent people, so he only knocked out one person and held the other at gunpoint.
After all, if it were a gang member, it wouldn't be as simple as just knocking them out.
But now that he knew these three intended to harm Mrs. Chen and the others, their fate was sealed, and he wouldn't show any mercy.
"I'll talk! I'll talk!"
The man wailed in fear, "We originally agreed, but something went wrong, and the two women refused. So, the fat woman told us to come back, and she would think of another way."
"What way?"
"She, she said she would go again in a couple of days and try to lure the two women to her house. If that didn't work, she would get more people to kidnap them." The man poured out everything he knew, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.
