Chapter 85: A Master
Chapter 85: A Master
A pair of leather-clad feet stepped into the courtyard first.
The man who followed was a middle-aged gentleman, dressed in a suit and trousers, with neatly combed hair and a hint of white at his temples.
His face was stern, his gaze resolute, and his aura commanding. Even without saying a word, he exuded an air of pressure.
As he entered, a crowd of at least twenty people surged in behind him.
The Wild Wolf Gang members all turned to look, and then, one by one, they bowed in respect.
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
Yue Shan extended his hand, gesturing for everyone to stop the formalities, and walked straight ahead. Upon seeing the bodies on the ground, his face first showed sorrow, and then he burst into tears.
Seeing this, the people around also shed tears.
After a while, Yue Shan took the tissue handed to him by his subordinate, wiped his tears, and asked, "What happened?"
Everyone looked lost.
Some looked at a middle-aged man who was still sobbing.
During the previous crying, he wasn't the loudest, but he was definitely the most heartbroken.
The reason was simple. That man was Wei Bao's boss, Wang Weisen, known as Sen Ge, and one of the gang's deputy bosses.
"I don't know,"
Wang Weisen spoke up, his tone filled with hatred. "It happened suddenly. No one saw the culprit, and we don't even know how many there were."
Yue Shan frowned and turned to look at a tall man standing behind him.
"A Tai, go and take a look."
"Yes, Boss."
The tall man stepped forward, knelt down in front of a body, first examined the body, and then repeatedly checked the head.
He checked each body, and the more he examined, the less time he took.
The scene fell silent.
Even the few of Wei Bao's younger brothers who had been crying the loudest closed their mouths, not daring to make a sound.
Soon, the tall man stood up and returned.
"Boss, I've checked Wei Bao's body. It seems they were hit in the head by a blunt object like an iron rod, and it's highly likely they died instantly. The attacker was cautious and struck twice more. Also..."
"What?"
Wang Weisen clenched his teeth in anger upon hearing this.
"Old Wang, don't get too worked up."
Yue Shan shook his head at him, "Let A Tai finish speaking."
The tall man continued, "Moreover, judging from these traces, the attacker was most likely alone."
"What! Just one person!"
"The attacker was alone!"
These words immediately caused an uproar.
Yue Shan's expression changed, and he asked with certainty, "A Tai, is what you're saying true?"
"There's at least an eighty percent chance."
The tall man replied without hesitation.
"If it were you, could you do it?"
"Taking advantage of the night to launch a surprise attack, it wouldn't be a problem to take them out one by one."
"Mhm."
Yue Shan nodded.
His gaze fell on the bodies on the ground again, and he sighed, "Collect their bodies, bury them properly, and compensate their families adequately. We were brothers; we can't let them down."
"Yes, Boss!"
The crowd responded.
"A Tai, send some men to inquire around and see if we can find any clues."
"Yes, Boss."
The other man agreed.
But everyone knew that if the truth was as A Tai said, and the attacker was alone, then he was undoubtedly a master. Going around to find him would likely be futile.
Moreover, what if the attacker was from the Iron Fist Gang?
Could they even seek revenge?
"Everyone, be extra careful from now on."
Yue Shan sighed lightly, preparing to leave.
Wang Weisen spoke up, "Boss, can I have a word with you in private?"
Everyone was stunned, all eyes on the two men.
Yue Shan remained silent for a moment, then nodded.
The two entered the inner room and closed the door.
"Boss..."
"Do you want to avenge Wei Bao?"
Yue Shan interrupted, asking first, "That's right!"
Wang Weisen's expression was agitated, and he said with emphasis, "Wei Bao is my brother, and he saved my life. I can't let him die like this without any explanation. I must avenge him!"
"What if the killer is from the Iron Fist Gang?"
"Iron Fist Gang..."
Wang Weisen hesitated for a moment, his tone softening, "Even if it's the Iron Fist Gang, they shouldn't be so unreasonable, right? We had an agreement that we'd leave this street within half a month. The time isn't up yet, so why would they target my brothers and use such underhanded methods?"
Yue Shan's eyebrows furrowed.
He also felt that it was unlikely for the Iron Fist Gang to be behind this.
But the problem was, if not them, then who else could it be? Those with such capabilities couldn't be some unknown nobodies; they were either from the street's martial arts gyms.
But that didn't make sense either. Over the past few years, he had maintained a neutral relationship with the three gyms on the street, and they had no reason to cause trouble at this time.
However, when all was said and done, these two forces had the greatest motive and were the most troublesome.
After a long silence, he sighed and patted Wang Weisen on the shoulder, "Old Wang, times have changed. In the eyes of the powerful in the city, we are already discarded pawns with no value.
Fortunately, over the years, we've accumulated quite a fortune. We've bought several houses in the outer borough, and from now on, we can live comfortably as wealthy landlords, with our wives and children by our sides. That's not a bad life."
"Boss, I understand your good intentions, but he was my brother. If I don't avenge him, I'll feel guilty in my dreams, not knowing how to face him."
Wang Weisen grabbed Yue Shan's arm, "Boss, I've never asked anything of you all these years, but this time, I beg you to help me."
Seeing that Yue Shan remained silent, Wang Weisen bowed down and knelt.
"Old Wang, what are you doing?" Yue Shan was startled.
"Boss, I beg you, please help me just this once. If you're willing to help, I'll give you half of my wealth."
"What are you saying? Am I, Yue Shan, that kind of person?" Yue Shan's anger flared.
"Boss, a gentleman's word is as solid as a galloping horse. I, Wang Weisen, keep my promises."
"Fine." Yue Shan sighed again.
"You first tell me what you want me to do. If it's too difficult, forget it."
"Boss, you have more connections than I do. I want you to inquire about those experts from the Iron Fist Gang last night. Did any of them come here?"
"What if someone did?" Yue Shan's expression turned cautious.
This guy wouldn't really be seeking revenge on the Iron Fist Gang, would he?
If that was the case, it was very likely to implicate him.
"If it was indeed the Iron Fist Gang, then I'd have done right by Wei Bao. He'd understand me in his afterlife."
Wang Weisen smiled bitterly.
"Hmm."
Yue Shan nodded, "What if it wasn't them?"
"If it wasn't, then I'd trouble you to buy us some time. I'll send people to inquire. Experts who can take on ten opponents are rare. We'll find some clues. If we can't figure it out in the end, I'll accept it. When I dream of Wei Bao, I'll have no regrets."
"Okay, I'll do my best. But why are you doing this?" Yue Shan sighed again.
A flash of murderous intent passed through Wang Weisen's eyes.
He would kill the murderer, whether they were from the Iron Fist Gang or the martial arts gym. Or rather, it was precisely because the murderer was most likely from these two forces that he wanted to inquire.
Even if the gym members had practiced secret martial arts, what good would it do if they were accidentally shot by a bow and arrow and ended up dead or injured?
A few years ago, for self-protection, he had secretly spent a fortune to buy a bow and arrow. Even Yue Shan didn't know about this, but now it would finally come in handy.
Of course, for someone in a gang, using a bow and arrow or firearms to ambush others was a shameful act. But at this point, he couldn't afford to care about such things."
As long as we know who the murderer is, even if they're from the Iron Fist Gang, I'll find an opportunity to shoot them secretly. No one will know it was my doing.
After avenging Wei Bao, he would wash his hands of the gang and live peacefully in the outer borough.
