Li Shiming's forehead was sweating when he heard this, and his mind was a bit confused. He laughed wildly, "Haha! I lost! So what if I lost? I'll take you with me even if I die!" After that, Li Shiming firmly pulled the trigger.
"Bang~~" With a gunshot, Xie Wendong was still sitting in his seat without moving. Only Ying's body stood in front of Xie Wendong, and a blood hole appeared in her chest. Ying didn't let out the slightest cry, as if it wasn't herself who was injured. She quickly pulled out her gun and pointed it at Li Shiming. Li Shiming was startled by Ying. He didn't expect that the beautiful girl behind Xie Wendong could block this shot for him. He secretly hated in his heart. If you want to die, I'll grant you your wish! Without hesitation, Li Shiming pulled the trigger again.
Gao Zhen saw it clearly from the side. The wound on Ying's chest seemed to be on his own body. At the moment Ying was injured, he let out a loud shout and rushed in front of Ying to hug her.
"Bang!" "Bang!" Two gunshots rang out. Time seemed to stop. The people in the conference room stared blankly. Ying was hit by Li Shiming's first shot. She felt the intense pain and numbness coming from her chest, and her mind gradually became blurred. But she still secretly gritted her teeth and almost fired a shot at the other party at the same time as Li Shiming. Ying's bullet pierced Li Shiming's head. And Li Shiming's bullet was nailed to Gao Zhen's back.
The three people slowly fell to the ground. In the moment of coma, Ying saw Gao Zhen's pale smiling face. She knew that he had blocked this shot for her. A tear slid down from the corner of Ying's eye.
Xie Wendong stood up. He didn't know how he felt in his heart. Li Shiming, the elder of the Qing Gang, was dead, and he didn't know whether Gao Zhen was alive or dead. Now the Qing Gang was like a headless dragon. Annexing it would be as easy as turning over one's hand for Xie Wendong. Xie Wendong should have been happy, but he couldn't be happy. He walked to Gao Zhen's side, took off his coat, and pressed it on the wound on his back. Then he turned his head and shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take Gao Zhen and Ying to the hospital!"
The people in the conference hall woke up as if from a dream. They quickly carried Gao Zhen and Ying and rushed outside. Xie Wendong originally wanted to follow to the hospital to see the life and death of the two, but he couldn't leave. There were still important things to do. Taking a deep breath, Xie Wendong calmed his emotions and said to his subordinates, "Clean up Li Feng's body. Remember, clean it thoroughly. Don't leave even a single hair!"
The subordinates agreed and immediately carried Li Feng out. Xie Wendong then said, "Leave Li Shiming's body here. Everyone, don't touch it! You can go out first!" After that, Xie Wendong sat down and quietly waited for someone.
After a while, a group of policemen walked in. The leader was a man in his early forties, tall and powerful, with bright eyes and a neat suit. After entering the room, he looked around. There were only two people in the conference room, one of them was dead, and the other was a young man sitting in the middle of the conference table. The man said to the policemen behind him, "You go out and wait for me first. I have something to ask him!" The policemen behind him all agreed. They took a look at Xie Wendong and turned to leave.
The man walked towards the conference table and sat opposite Xie Wendong. He said seriously, "You are Xie Wendong, right? I really couldn't believe it when I heard others mention you before. When I see you in person, you are even younger than I imagined."
Xie Wendong smiled and said, "I don't know if you are praising me or scolding me, Chief Cheng, but it doesn't matter. I am who I am, with a name that you will remember!"
Chief Cheng smiled and pointed to the body on the ground, saying, "I'm not here to discuss your age! Li Shiming still died in your hands after all. It seems that the day you annex the Qing Gang is not far away?!"
"Hehe!" Xie Wendong sneered and said, "I hope Chief Cheng won't test me anymore. I'm very sad about Li Shiming's death. I don't want to kill people, but he wanted to kill me. I was just acting in self - defense! You can't blame me legally!"
Chief Cheng stared at Xie Wendong, snorted, and didn't speak. Xie Wendong continued, "Chief Cheng, you seemed to have arrested a lot of people outside just now! There must be a lot of weapons confiscated. Such a perfect big case is a great credit in the province. Shouldn't you show some gratitude to me, the person who tipped you off?"
Chief Cheng looked at Xie Wendong and felt that this person was really not simple. He had seen many powerful gang leaders in the underworld, but few of them could talk and laugh in front of him like Xie Wendong, as if everything was under his control. Chief Cheng sighed and asked, "What do you want?"
Xie Wendong smiled and said, "What I want is very simple. It's just a matter of a word from you, Chief Cheng!"
Chief Cheng said, "Speak. As long as it's not illegal, I will try my best to do it!"
Xie Wendong shook his head. This person was really stubborn. He couldn't say three sentences without mentioning the law. There were really not many such people in today's society. Xie Wendong said softly, "I can handle things that are not illegal by myself. Why would I trouble you, Chief Cheng? In fact, my request is very simple. As long as you, Chief Cheng, turn a blind eye to the Wendong Society in the future!"
Chief Cheng sneered and said, "That's impossible. Xie Wendong, you remember this. As long as I'm still the chief of the city bureau in City J, no one can break the law under my nose. Others can't, and you, Xie Wendong, can't either! Don't think that just because you're a gang leader, I'm afraid of you. If you like me, you're welcome to 'come to me' at any time!"
Xie Wendong said, "Chief Cheng! Since you know I'm from the underworld, that's good. It doesn't matter if you don't worry about your own life, but don't you consider the safety of your family?"
Chief Cheng stood up angrily and said, "I thought of this when I became the chief of the city bureau in City J. You don't need to threaten me with my family. If you do that, you'll only make me hate you more. If you make me hate you enough, you won't have a good end either!"
"Damn it!" Xie Wendong cursed secretly. He had never seen such a person! He stood up and said, "My request is beneficial to everyone. If you let me go, then the entire underworld in City J will be mine. I promise that there will be no more disputes in the underworld. City J will definitely become the city with the lowest crime rate and the most peaceful in the whole province. You will also have a good explanation in the province, and getting promoted will be just around the corner. What reason do you have not to agree??"
Chief Cheng smiled and said, "There's only one reason. I have to be worthy of my conscience and my duty!"
Alas! Xie Wendong was speechless. After a long time, he slowly asked, "Do you really not love money or power?"
Chief Cheng said calmly, "It's not that I don't love them, but as I said, the prerequisite is to be worthy of my conscience!"
Xie Wendong laughed. In fact, Chief Cheng and he had very similar personalities. They were both people who adhered to principles, but they chose different paths. One retained his conscience, and the other abandoned it. Xie Wendong knew that if he were Chief Cheng, he would make the same choice as him. But he wasn't. He was the leader of the underworld. There could only be one result when he and Chief Cheng were in the same city. One of them had to withdraw! Xie Wendong also knew that the one who withdrew would never be himself because he had abandoned his conscience.
Xie Wendong said with regret, "Chief Cheng, it seems that we have nothing more to say. There's no point in arguing further." After that, Xie Wendong walked out of the conference room. When he reached the door, he stopped and said faintly, "I hope that one day you won't regret your persistence!"
Looking at Xie Wendong's leaving back, Chief Cheng whispered affirmatively, "Never!"
Xie Wendong walked to the hall and saw Li Shuang waiting there. He walked over and asked, "Xiaoshuang, do Sister Xiaoyu and her sister know about Gao Zhen being shot?"
Li Shuang shook his head and said, "They don't know! I saw that they were tired and sleeping, so I didn't let the people in the gang disturb them. A lot of things happened today. If they knew that Gao Zhen was in trouble, I'm afraid..."
Xie Wendong nodded, "You did the right thing! Let's go to the hospital first to see the situation of Gao Zhen and Ying!" Xie Wendong called to find out which hospital they had gone to, and then he and Li Shuang took a car and rushed there. When they arrived at the emergency room of the hospital, there were a lot of people standing at the door. When they saw Xie Wendong coming, they greeted him in unison. Xie Wendong asked Jiang Sen, "How is Brother Gao?"
Jiang Sen said, "Both Gao Zhen and Ying have just entered the operating room. We don't know if there's any life - threatening danger yet. I hope they can pull through! I think Ying's injury is much more serious!"
Xie Wendong nodded and said sadly, "This is the second time she has saved me. I really don't know how to repay this favor in the future. I hope there will be a chance in the future."
Jiang Sen said seriously, "Brother Dong, you don't need to blame yourself. Since you joined the Wendong Society, you should have thought that there would be such a day. We're in the underworld. We earn much more money than others, but at the same time, we're also gambling with our lives!"
"En!" Xie Wendong leaned against the wall and took out a cigarette. Jiang Sen helped him light it. The group of people didn't speak and quietly waited at the door of the emergency room. Xie Wendong's heart was complicated. He both hoped that Gao Zhen could survive and hoped that he would die like this. Otherwise, sooner or later, they would be at odds with each other. With Xie Wendong's character, he had to be the first. There was no concept of second. Annexing the Qing Gang was a matter of time.
After almost two hours, the door of the emergency room opened. A young nurse with spots of blood on her body rushed out. Li Shuang quickly ran up and asked, "Doctor, how are the people inside? Can they be saved?"
The nurse walked and said, "We still don't know yet. The operation isn't over. You can wait a little longer!" When she passed by Xie Wendong and saw the cigarette butts on the ground, she said dissatisfiedly, "You're not allowed to smoke here. Don't you know that?" Xie Wendong looked up and glared at the nurse without speaking. The people next to him suddenly all stood up, scaring the little nurse so much that she screamed "Oh my god" and ran away. The people looked at each other and burst out laughing. The atmosphere was no longer dull.
They waited until almost 2 a.m. Finally, they heard the exciting news that both Gao Zhen and Ying were safe and sound. Gao Zhen's injury was relatively minor. The doctor said that he would be fine after a period of rest. But Ying's situation was more troublesome. There might be sequelae.
The next day, Xie Wendong brought the Gao sisters, Huimei and Huiyu, to the hospital to see Gao Zhen, who had woken up. There were people from the Qing Gang outside the ward, all with worried looks on their faces. The elder of the Qing Gang had rebelled and died, and Gao Zhen was seriously injured. The huge Qing Gang was now leaderless and no one was in charge. The people in the gang were all worried. These people were the backbone of the Qing Gang who were loyal to Gao Zhen. Most of Li Shiming's confidants were arrested by the police yesterday. Now the situation of the Qing Gang has basically stabilized. When they saw Xie Wendong coming, these people were stunned at first, but then they quickly reacted and nodded to Xie Wendong in greeting. Anyway, Xie Wendong was ultimately Gao Zhen's friend, and he had also killed Li Shiming, which was of great help to the Qing Gang. Most importantly, because he was Xie Wendong, no one in the entire underworld of City J dared to underestimate this young man anymore.
