The girl's voice had completely calmed down by the time she uttered her last sentence.
Her body no longer trembled, and her eyes held only endless indifference.
"Tang Qi, it's really a case of the tables turning."
Tang Qi was now terrified beyond measure, his eyes darting around, his mind racing through countless methods, none of which could save him.
"If my dad were still around, today would definitely not be like this!!"
Right, my dad!
Tang Qi blinked, flicking away the sweat that had dripped onto his eyelashes.
He stammered, wanting to say something, but his jaw was dislocated, rendering him unintelligible.
Wu Tian, seeing this, kicked him again, precisely back into place.
Grimacing, he let out a few yelps and then began to shout, "Cao Xueqin, you can't kill me. My dad is on a business trip and is now in Tianfu Safe Zone. If you kill me, no one will come to save you."
Indeed, Cao Xueqin seemed to have thought of something, her eyes filled with indecision.
Seeing this situation, Tang Qi knew his threat had worked and quickly continued, "Do you know what position my dad holds? My... mmm..." wΑp.kanshu伍.net
Before he could finish, Lin Yuan, unable to watch any longer, kicked him. Tang Qi clutched his stomach, doubling over like a cooked shrimp.
"Sister Xueqin, what's her dad's name?"
"Tang Shan. He used to be the deputy mayor of Fan City. He had a lot of power."
"Wasn't he involved in the crackdown on such things before? How did he not get impeached?"
"They shielded each other, so the rain naturally didn't reach them."
After a brief conversation, Lin Yuan understood why this person was so arrogant. With such a father, it was impossible to conceal his nature without some means. It seemed this Deputy Mayor Tang Shan had truly mastered the art of crony capitalism.
However, he did find himself wondering if the man was truly foolish, daring to threaten them in such a state of communication blackout.
It was like a centenarian eating arsenic, wanting to hasten his death.
Lin Yuan squatted down, looking at Tang Qi, who had recovered somewhat, and patted his face. "Tell me, if I kill you right now, how would your father know you were killed by us?"
"My dad knows we're in this area. If you have the guts, kill all of us. Otherwise, as long as even one of us gets out, you're all finished!!" Tang Qi glared maliciously at Lin Yuan.
"Hahahaha," Lin Yuan was so amused he clapped his hands. "A plan, a plan, you've made me quite troubled."
"Let me think, let me think," he said, feigning anxiety as he paced back and forth a few times. Suddenly, he squatted down and said.
"Guess what? I've thought of a way."
Tang Qi simply looked at him calmly, saying nothing. He was also gambling, betting that this person wouldn't kill them all.
After speaking, Lin Yuan stepped back and discussed with Cao Xueqin and Zeng Yilong.
"Brother Zeng, go keep an eye on that group of cannon fodder. This building likely still has people."
"Sister Xueqin, this Tang Qi must die. I have two methods. First, you kill him with your own hands. Second, you watch them kill each other. Choose one?"
Cao Xueqin considered for a moment before making her choice.
"I choose the second option."
She found it too messy.
Lin Yuan smiled and nodded. "Then watch closely from the side."
He took out his pistol, loaded the magazine, and without further ado, addressed everyone except Tang Qi. "Listen up. Because of young Master Tang Qi's threats, you all now have only one chance to save your lives."
His words clearly had an effect. The remaining group, hearing that their lives were on the line, immediately erupted.
"Don't kill me, I'll do anything you want."
"Yes, yes, don't kill us, we'll listen to you from now on."
"..."
"Alright, stop talking. I actually have a way," Lin Yuan's lips curved into a devilish arc.
Pointing at Tang Qi, he said, "It's very simple. You just need to beat him to death, punch by punch."
"Bullshit! I won't hit Brother Qi!" To Lin Yuan's surprise, there were still people who were loyal die-hard friends of Tang Qi.
"Excellent, I admire you."
Qiangzi also felt like a big shot, just like in the TV shows.
Then, he met the fate of those in TV shows.
After a word of "praise" from Lin Yuan, he drew his gun and blew his head off.
"Alright, who else has anything to say?"
Qiangzi's shattered skull was still attached to his neck, his upper face completely invisible. Instantly, the smell of urine filled the air.
Glancing at them with disgust, seeing that none of the bound people on the ground spoke, Lin Yuan sneered and said to Jiang Ziqi, "Ziqi, untie them."
"Don't think about escaping. Even if you run, the outcome will be the same."
As soon as these words were spoken, those with ulterior motives instantly deflated. People couldn't outrun bullets.
The last to be untied was Tang Qi. It wasn't as fun fighting with tied hands.
"Shall we begin then?" Lin Yuan stepped back a few paces, aiming his pistol at them.
Being pointed at by a gun was no easy feeling. Although they were afraid of Tang Qi, they all twisted their wrists and limbered up their muscles.
Seeing his former lackeys actually preparing to rebel, Tang Qi panicked. He pointed at them and yelled curses, "What are you doing? Do you know that everything you've gained, I gave it to you! If you dare to hit me now, you'll all be dead tomorrow!..."
Initially, his followers and lackeys were somewhat intimidated, but as Tang Qi's curses grew more offensive, their anger could no longer be contained.
"Damn it, Tang Qi! I've tolerated you for too long!!" One of the boys finally couldn't take it anymore and threw a punch directly at Tang Qi's face.
The force was so great that Lin Yuan and the others even saw two teeth fly out.
"Good, well done!"
Taking such a blow without defense, Tang Qi also became enraged. Just as he was about to retaliate, everyone surrounded him. With fists outnumbered, he could only parry a few times before he could only cover his head and dodge miserably.
Normally, fights would stop at a reasonable point, causing only superficial injuries. But in this situation, they wouldn't stop until he was beaten to death.
Tang Qi was helpless. People were all around him. Protecting his head and face was already the limit, let alone anything else.
This bad student, who was used to bullying others, finally tasted the bitterness of being bullied. Each punch and kick landed on him was retribution from others.
The cycle of karma, retribution is not immediate, but it will come.
Now was his time.
After half an hour of beating, Tang Qi had no intact flesh left on his body. He had long since lost consciousness, lying limply on the ground like a rag doll.
Seeing that Tang Qi was truly dead, these people also began to panic. They had committed misdeeds, but they hadn't intended to actually kill anyone.
However, they had little time to worry. There were so many guns pointed at them. With one wrong move, their heads would also be blown off.
