The leader gritted his teeth, "What's the point of a dead man asking? You'll be down here with us soon enough."
Su Yang saw no need for further words and used his keen eyes on the leader.
He discovered these assassins were from the underground black market, and the order came from Shen Tu Bao.
Shen Tu Bao was previously Ding Bowen's subordinate. Was this also for revenge?
Su Yang shot the assassin leader, "Kill them all!"
"Yes, boss!"
The remaining assassins were all shot dead by Lu Qi and the others.
Su Yang asked curiously, "How did you know I was here?"
"Boss, your subordinate went to the hospital to pick up Lu Yi today and happened to pass by."
"So that's it! Let's go to the underground black market!"
Su Yang waved his hand and led his men to find Shen Tu Bao.
...
The underground black market was located south of Songhai, with its entrance being a dilapidated alley.
Here, countless assassins patrolled.
There were also unfortunate girls standing on streets and alleys, beckoning to passersby.
Seeing the Lamborghini drive in, several assassins became restless, their hands gripping brass knuckles.
"What are you here for?"
"Hall Master Shen Tu invited us!"
Su Yang rolled down the car window and tossed out a stack of red banknotes.
The assassins felt the money; it was at least tens of thousands.
Then they looked at the limited edition Lamborghini and didn't think much of it.
"Brothers, let's go find some fun."
Su Yang parked the car and walked into a foot massage parlor, passing through several checkpoints before entering the underground black market.
The underground black market was vast, brightly lit everywhere, with no sense of darkness.
There were people everywhere, some buying, some selling.
They sold collectibles, intelligence, women, and even their lives.
Su Yang walked through several long streets and arrived in front of a four or five-story building.
This was where Shen Tu Bao was located.
"Stop!"
The guards looked at Su Yang vigilantly, their guns' safety latches disengaged.
"There's no need to panic. Go tell your Hall Master Shen Tu that someone knows Ding Bowen's whereabouts."
The guards exchanged glances and sent one person to report.
Soon after.
Shen Tu Bao came down. The moment he saw Su Yang, he wanted to call for his men to attack.
But Su Yang struck first, taking down the guards at the entrance and grabbing Shen Tu Bao by the throat.
"Tell me, why did you send people to kill me?"
Shen Tu Bao struggled desperately, but Su Yang broke both his arms in a few moves.
Shen Tu Bao's face contorted in pain, "Su Yang, kill me if you dare, or I will surely kill you and everyone related to you!"
"Want to die? Not so easy!"
Su Yang dragged Shen Tu Bao upstairs and broke his legs as well.
Shen Tu Bao gritted his teeth, refusing to reveal the mastermind.
Su Yang used his keen eyes on him and found that several parties had indeed sought cooperation with Shen Tu Bao.
However, those people wore masks and were very cautious, so he couldn't tell which faction they belonged to.
Shen Tu Bao sneered, "Don't waste your efforts. I will never tell you!"
"Oh? You seem very confident. However, I don't know if your wife, whom you arranged to live in Songhai Garden District, has the courage to die with you."
Su Yang smiled. Shen Tu Bao was the leader of the underground black market and dealt in all sorts of business.
Therefore, Shen Tu Bao had many enemies.
To protect his wife and children, he arranged for them to live in Songhai District.
Shen Tu Bao panicked. He didn't fear death himself, but he couldn't stand by and watch his family die.
"You... How did you know?"
"You don't need to know that. Tell me, who sent those people?"
Shen Tu Bao lay on the ground weakly, "I told you, can you let my family go?"
"Yes."
Shen Tu Bao breathed a sigh of relief. Although he wanted Su Yang dead, he also knew that Su Yang kept his word.
Now, Shen Tu Bao only wanted a quick death to save his family.
"Those people, one party was sent by Duan Xiao Si of the Duan family. Also, Bai Zhan Hong of the Bai family, and a force suspected to be from Sang Country, but I really don't know their origin."
Su Yang's brow furrowed. No wonder Duan Xiao Si's attitude had suddenly become so good; it was all a pretense.
It seemed she wanted to avenge Yang Wu Di, so she found Shen Tu Bao and paid assassins.
As for Bai Zhan Hong, it was likely because he couldn't become the family head, and Bai Xin Hui had Su Yang behind her, which led him to have murderous intent.
What puzzled Su Yang the most was that people from Sang Country were also involved.
And so far, there was no news at all.
"Su Yang, I've said all I can. I hope you keep your promise!"
Su Yang exerted force with his hand, and with a "crack," Shen Tu Bao breathed his last.
"Duan Xiao Si, Bai Zhan Hong, you are truly remarkable!"
Bai Family Residence.
Assembly Hall.
Bai Xin Hui sat in the main seat. Three days had passed since Bai Zhan Chen's funeral, and she was preparing to succeed as the family head.
"Everyone, with me as the Bai family head, I will lead the Bai family back to its peak!"
Upon hearing this, the people below whispered.
"Our Bai family has never had a female family head. This is really something we need to consider carefully."
"I think it's good for the eldest daughter to be the family head. After all, with Su Yang's care, our Bai family can develop quickly!"
Bai Zhan Hong sneered, "You don't need to count on Su Yang anymore. He might not even be able to protect himself!"
"Third Granduncle, how do you know about Su Yang's affairs?"
Everyone was astonished. Su Yang had just attended Bai Zhan Chen's funeral a few days ago and was fine.
Bai Zhan Hong naturally wouldn't say he paid assassins. "Hmph! You'll know tomorrow!"
"In short, I do not agree with Bai Xin Hui becoming the family head. What do you all say?"
Bai Zhan Hong's supporters all expressed their opinions.
"I think it's more stable for Third Granduncle to be the family head!"
"Yes, Third Granduncle has been helping the Bai family manage its business over the years. He is the most qualified to be the family head!"
Bai Xin Hui's brows furrowed. When Su Yang was around, Bai Zhan Hong didn't dare to make a sound.
She thought the position of family head was within reach, but at this moment, Bai Zhan Hong was causing trouble again.
"Third Granduncle, you should think carefully. Su Yang has a bad temper. I suggest you just retire peacefully."
Bai Zhan Hong, however, was unappreciative and mocked Bai Xin Hui.
"Bai Xin Hui, don't think I don't know that you climbed into Su Yang's bed to become the family head!"
"You're willing to sell your body for personal gain. Why should I trust you? You've disgraced the Bai family!"
Bai Xin Hui gritted her teeth in anger but had no way to refute his words.
Just then, someone rushed in from outside.
"Bad news, Su Yang has brought people to surround our Bai family..."
"What?"
"What's going on?"
Everyone was shocked. Bai Zhan Hong's legs went weak, and he muttered, "No, could it be that the people from the underground black market didn't act?"
Su Yang walked into the hall carrying a bloody cloth bag and threw it in front of Bai Zhan Hong.
When Bai Zhan Hong saw that the head in the bag was Shen Tu Bao, he was so scared that he collapsed on the ground.
"Su Yang, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean? At this point, you're still playing dumb?"
