Chapter 91: Could He Be...?
Chapter 91: Could He Be...?
Large sweat drops rolled down the bald man's forehead.
He had already imagined Wu Tian's impending rage.
"If only I had followed them and chased after that guy back then."
He cursed his misfortune.
His heart was in turmoil.
Initially, they were just searching for places where someone could hide.
Later, they even searched the bedside table.
Wu Tian glared at the scene, his anger rising.
At this point, he could guess what had happened. That kid had probably sent the person to another location, specifically to avoid them.
If they couldn't find the person, they would have to return empty-handed tonight.
"Hey, Sky Brother, look at this!"
Suddenly, the bald man turned around, holding a black gag mask in his hands, exposing only his eyes and mouth.
Wu Tian took a glance.
"Sky Brother, how could this kid have this? Could he be a thief, wearing this every night?"
The bald man laughed heartily, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
Wu Tian wasn't concerned at first, but upon hearing his words, a sense of unease welled up within him.
The bald man's words were not wrong. Why would an honest person have such a mask? If not for doing something shameful and fearing recognition, why hide one's identity? Moreover, what kind of misdeeds could a street vendor possibly commit? Robbing? That kid's roasted sweet potato business was booming, making even Wu Tian envious.
A flash of insight struck Wu Tian, and he suddenly recalled a previous incident.
As the saying goes, two hands can't fight four, let alone five, six, seven, or eight hands, especially when they are armed with watermelon knives.
What good is being a martial arts club member? They are still ordinary people.
Yet, that kid had held two iron rods in his hands and charged through unscathed.
Could it really be just luck?
"Wait a minute..."
Wu Tian took a deep breath, feeling a chill run down his spine.
A few days ago, the boss's bodyguard had mentioned that Wei Bao and his men were killed by iron rods, and the killer was likely the same person.
Could this person be...? As this thought crossed Wu Tian's mind, a chill rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
If this was the killer of Wei Bao and his men, not only had they not retreated, but they had also come to the killer's home? Was this like lighting a lantern in a toilet, asking for death?
"What a strange guy."
The bald man grunted, tossing the mask aside and continuing to rummage through the drawers.
"Heijiao, how long have they been gone?" Wu Tian's voice echoed.
The bald man paused, glancing at the wall clock, "Sky Brother, I remember we left at 6:30 PM, it took us about five or six minutes to get here, and now it's 7:10 PM. They've been chasing for about 15 to 20 minutes."
"Sky Brother, don't worry. They must have caught that kid and are on their way back."
"Let's leave this place!"
Wu Tian leaped to his feet.
"Huh?"
The bald man opened his mouth in surprise, "Leave? If we leave, won't they be unable to find us when they return?"
"Then you wait here for them. If they come back, take the person to the old place." Wu Tian spoke calmly.
"Okay, okay, Sky Brother, don't worry. I'll make sure to handle this beautifully." The bald man quickly agreed, eager for the task.
"I hope I'm overthinking this."
Wu Tian muttered to himself.
If that kid was indeed the killer of Wei Bao and his men, then those who went after him were probably already dead. Staying behind was just waiting for death.
The deputy boss was relentlessly investigating, even offering a high reward of 100,000 yuan! Losing a few little brothers for this reward was worth it.
If it wasn't for him, it would be better to go back and rest first. There's no point in sitting here doing nothing.
However, just as he took a few steps, a figure suddenly appeared at the door, elongated by the candlelight.
Wu Tian was startled and involuntarily took two steps back, feeling a sense of impending doom.
"Eh?"
The bald man was completely unaware and found it strange.
He looked behind Jiang Cheng and asked, "Why are you alone? Where are the others?"
"The others, you'll know soon enough."
Jiang Cheng let out a cold snort and charged towards Wu Tian in front of him.
"Quick, block him!"
Wu Tian reacted swiftly, grabbing the bald man beside him and pushing him forward, while bending down and rushing towards the door.
By now, he was a hundred percent certain that Jiang Cheng was the one who killed Wei Bao and his group!
He regretted his actions to the core.
It was all because of that little brat, Qian Yun Kai. Why did he have to provoke this troublemaker?
Now, not only did he get himself killed, but he also dragged Wu Tian down with him.
Jiang Cheng took a step back, creating distance from the pushed-over bald man. With a single staff strike, he took down his opponent, then turned around and struck Wu Tian's leg with another staff attack.
Wu Tian let out a painful cry and fell to the ground.
Jiang Cheng, quick as lightning, delivered another staff strike to the back of Wu Tian's head.
Wu Tian couldn't make a sound anymore and lay motionless on the ground.
Jiang Cheng quickly closed the door and panted heavily.
Looking at the two corpses on the ground, he felt an urge to kick them.
These damn dogs, now that the Wild Wolf Gang was done for, couldn't they just run away quietly? They had to make themselves an easy target.
They were dead, and they died in his home. If Grandma found out that outsiders had died here, she might not even dare to stay.
"Wait until the early hours when there are fewer people around, then use the tricycle to take these two corpses to the Graveyard of the Forsaken. Oh, and my tricycle is still outside!"
Jiang Cheng's face changed, and he quickly went out to bring the tricycle inside.
It seemed these two weren't interested in his belongings; they just made a mess of his home.
"I wonder how many people saw this. Even if they didn't see it, they must have heard the commotion."
Jiang Cheng had a headache.
He had no other choice; he couldn't just kill everyone nearby because of his suspicions.
He had done what he needed to do. If anyone asked later, he would just say he threw those people out and didn't know what happened afterward.
It took almost an hour to clean up the room.
He then removed the stove from the tricycle, found two bags, and put the corpses inside, but not before searching them first. The bald man only had a few hundred in cash, while Wu Tian had a wallet with over two thousand.
Jiang Cheng suspected they might have left more money at home and didn't bring it with them.
"Forget it, at least there's over two thousand here. The important thing is, these people are dealt with. Once the Wild Wolf Gang's remaining members leave, I can bring Grandma and the others back."
Jiang Cheng sighed at this thought.
Actually, it would be better for Grandma and the others to stay in the Outer Borough. But he couldn't keep taking advantage of Bai Shejie's kindness.
