Chapter 170: Monster

"Do you know you just narrowly escaped death?"

Lin Jian patted Ma Yuguo’s face with his dagger and smiled. "If you say you don’t know, then tell me, what use do I have for keeping you alive?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Yes, yes, yes!"

Ma Yuguo’s legs couldn’t stop trembling; he really had just gotten a second lease on life.

"Think carefully before you speak. Do you really not know?"

"I..."

Ma Yuguo opened his mouth, then hurriedly said, "I heard there was a conflict at Old Ox Ridge three days ago, but it wasn’t our people. It was Sun Dahai’s men."

"Sun Dahai? What does he do?"

"Sun Dahai is partners with Thunder Dragon, a local drug lord."

"What are the details?" Lin Jian pressed.

"I don’t know the specifics! I only heard about it. That side isn’t very friendly with our boss."

"Your boss is Sangbo?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

"You are one of the Huaxia People. How did you end up coming here to be a gunman for Sangbo?" Lin Jian asked curiously.

"There are quite a few of the Huaxia People over here..."

Lin Jian took a deep breath. There were simply too many people back home willing to risk everything in desperation, and this place had become a Heaven for criminals.

Rumor had it that the Golden Triangle had become a development zone in recent years and stopped growing drugs. However, the reason it was called the Golden Triangle was because it sat at the border of three countries, and its climate and soil were only truly suitable for cultivating narcotics. Moreover, there were too many armed militants here. A highly lucrative business like this would make anyone risk their lives.

"Then can you help me find out if Sun Dahai or Thunder Dragon captured any prisoners?" Lin Jian asked.

"I... I’ll do my best!"

Ma Yuguo didn’t dare say he couldn’t. Being unable to do it meant he was useless, and being useless meant he would only end up dead. So, he had to try his best.

"Old Ma, see if this works for you!" Lin Jian threw an arm around Ma Yuguo’s shoulders. "What if I, Dongfang Bubai, and my big brother, Dongfang Shun, help you take out Bossang? Then you can become the local warlord here. How does that sound?

"Basically, the two of us will serve you for now. Whoever you want dead, my embroidery needles will go SWISH SWISH SWISH right at them, and then you can unite the territory. Deal?"

"What the hell do you mean SWISH SWISH SWISH? And embroidery needles? Are you a comedian? You’re scaring me to death..." Ma Yuguo thought, his hairs standing on end.

However, Dongfang Bubai’s proposal was actually pretty good. If Bossang was eliminated, along with his core confidants, and then Dongfang Bubai held the fort for him for a few days, he could truly unite Muqi Town.

Ma Yuguo was already the leader among the Chinese under Bossang’s command. How should one put it? Most of their business was done with Chinese people. With the influx of Chinese bosses in recent years, the number of Chinese here was also growing. Consequently, Bossang needed a translator and someone to manage the Chinese who came to join him. Therefore, yours truly, Yuguo, was already the head of the Chinese. Apart from a few specific individuals, he was managing over a dozen people.

So, if he really became the boss here... Ma Yuguo could already see piles of cash in his future!

But on second thought, Ma Yuguo wondered why Dongfang Bubai would help him. There was no reason for it.

"I want money. How about you give me all of Bossang’s cash, and you get his men and his territory?" Lin Jian added at that moment.

"Deal! As long as you help me take out Bossang, Dongfang, all of his money is yours!"

"It’s a deal. Shunzi, get to work. Toss the bodies!"

Sha Shun once again displayed his Divine Techniques of grabbing four people with one hand. In just a few swift motions, he tossed the dead bodies on the road into the bushes! Watching Sha Shun show off this skill made Ma Yuguo wince.

These two were simply ungodly.

"Let’s go. I’ll drive, and you’ll give directions. When the time comes, tell me who to kill, and I’ll do it quickly. Don’t drag your feet. Also, make the calls right now to ask about Sun Dahai and Thunder Dragon’s situation. I want the most detailed intelligence available."

"Yes, boss."

Ma Yuguo immediately pulled out his phone and rattled off a flurry of foreign words. He kept making calls, dialing three or four different numbers!

A moment later, as the car was nearing a town, Ma Yuguo’s phone rang. He hurriedly answered it, a look of joy washing over his face as he listened, and then he continued to rattle off another flurry of words.

"I have news," he said, lowering his voice. "A friend of mine over there told me that Sun Dahai and Thunder Dragon clashed with domestic cops at Old Ox Ridge. They lost twelve men, but they also took down two from the other side—they didn’t even manage to take the bodies back. However, three of them escaped, and another one jumped off Old Ox Cliff. They haven’t found his body yet and suspect he might still be alive. But the guy not only took a bullet, jumping off the cliff would definitely leave him severely injured. He probably won’t survive. They still have people searching the area right now, but they haven’t found anything."

"To Old Ox Ridge!"

Sha Shun’s eyes turned red. That was his brother-in-law!

Lin Jian nodded and looked at Ma Yuguo. "Which way is Old Ox Ridge? We’re going to Old Ox Ridge first. We’ll handle your business when we get back!"

Ma Yuguo glanced at the town ahead. They were less than three hundred meters from the entrance, but Lin Jian slowly brought the car to a halt. Ma Yuguo felt incredibly anxious. "Can’t we take out Bossang first?" he thought. But he also knew these two fiends would kill at the drop of a hat. So, he gritted his teeth and said, "Front right!"

There was a three-way fork in the road ahead. The center lane led into the town, while the left and right were dirt paths flanked by dense, thorny bushes. Lin Jian quickly turned the steering wheel and swerved onto the dirt road on the right!

At the same time, whistles blew from within the town. It seemed they had noticed something was amiss! Ma Yuguo kept looking back, his face twisted in anxiety.

Lin Jian drove so fast the car was practically flying. Because the road was treacherous and their Speed was too high, Ma Yuguo was nearly bounced right out of the car several times.

After a few turns, they arrived at a small creek at the foot of a mountain. Ma Yuguo pointed at a ridge to the northeast and said, "That is Old Ox Ridge. If he jumped off a cliff, he would have jumped from the tip of the ox horn over there. See it?"

WHOOSH!

Like a phantom, Lin Jian dashed toward Old Ox Ridge without even a word of greeting. Sha Shun wasn’t slow either, taking massive strides as he sprinted forward!

Ma Yuguo wanted to follow them, but when he jumped out of the car, he found that Lin Jian and the big guy were completely out of sight. They had disappeared into the woods!

Ma Yuguo’s scalp tingled. "Are they even human?" he thought. But there were pursuers behind him. "How... how am I supposed to explain this? I can’t explain it!"

So Ma Yuguo gritted his teeth and bolted. He had no choice but to run! All of his companions were dead, yet he was the only one alive—and he had brought two outsiders here. Would Bossang even listen to his explanation? He might as well explain it to a bullet. Bossang would send him straight to the afterlife with a single shot.

Therefore, Ma Yuguo ran for his life, plunging into the woods.

Meanwhile, Lin Jian slowed his Speed, as Sha Shun was ultimately not as fast as him. It should be known that when he sprinted before, he could cover thirty meters in a single bound. Now, he could clear ninety meters in one step. He was more phantom-like than a phantom. So no matter how fast Sha Shun was, he couldn’t outmatch Lin Jian’s phantom-like Speed.

Naturally, Sha Shun wasn’t actually slow at all. Despite his massive size, he moved through the forest with the agility of a spirit ape.

In less than ten minutes, the two of them arrived at the bottom of Old Ox Cliff. The mountain here wasn’t too high, nor was it excessively steep. Standing at the base of the cliff, they couldn’t see the peak! That meant the so-called jumping off a cliff would only result in a freefall of a dozen meters before one started tumbling down the slope. So, if Lin Jian searched around this mountain, it was entirely possible he could find Zhang Weihong!

"Shunzi, you go up from here, and I’ll check the sides. Also, if you run into anyone else, kill them on sight. Leave no survivors."

"Okay."

Sha Shun began making his way up from the base of the cliff! At this moment, Lin Jian tapped the tip of his foot on the ground and leapt right into the treetops.

Sha Shun glanced at Lin Jian, sighing in amazement in his heart. "Just where did my sister find such a monster?" he thought.
