Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Kidnapping Conspiracy
The man in the trench coat who entered the underground secret room was none other than Yan Buming, the Deputy Director of the Wanghai Police Substation.
Yan Buming glanced at the dozen or so burly men in front of him and hurriedly said, “Take me to see Boss Su Yu Kuang immediately.”
One of the brawny men promptly turned and led Yan Buming forward, while the remaining dozen men quickly disappeared back into the darkness.
Under the guidance of the brawny man, Yan Buming walked forward.
The underground was like a small city, filled with countless buildings and interconnected streets bustling with people. Everywhere, there were burly men covered in tattoos, wielding heavy firearms.
Roughly estimating, this underground city had at least a thousand fully armed brawny men.
Yan Buming walked through several streets and finally reached the end of the street.
At the end of the street was a steel door, guarded by eight men holding submachine guns.
These eight men quickly approached Yan Buming, aiming their guns at him.
Yan Buming, looking very familiar with the routine, stopped and raised his hands high.
Two of the eight men stepped forward and carefully searched Yan Buming. After finding nothing suspicious, they gestured to the door behind them.
The steel door slowly opened.
Yan Buming walked inside, and the steel door slowly closed again.
Inside the door was a spacious hall, with a floor of white marble, red carpets, and an air of luxury.
Around the hall were redwood furniture, exuding grandeur.
At the front of the hall was a row of five high-backed redwood chairs, each occupied by a burly man.
These five men all looked fierce, with an aura of menace and threads of coldness in their eyes.
Yan Buming stepped forward, approaching these five men, and shouted towards the man with a dark face at the center, “Boss Su Yu Kuang.”
The dark-faced man glanced coldly at Yan Buming and said with a mocking smile, “Director Yan, you’re here just in time. If you hadn’t come to find me, I would have sought you out.”
Yan Buming replied with a smile, “Boss Su, it seems we have a mental connection. What can I do for you today?”
Su Yu Kuang sneered twice, saying, “Hehe, it’s simple, I want Director Yan to return my 179 brothers.”
Upon hearing Su Yu Kuang’s cold tone, Yan Buming hurriedly raised his head and said, “What 179 brothers? Boss Su, I don’t understand.”
Su Yu Kuang snorted, saying, “You don’t understand? I’ll make you understand.”
With that, Su Yu Kuang raised his hand, and a throwing knife appeared instantly, flashing as it flew towards Yan Buming.
Yan Buming was startled and cried out, just about to dodge.
But how could his speed outrun the flying knife?
A streak of silver light flew straight to Yan Buming’s chest, and with a “puff,” it pierced his rib.
Yan Buming felt a chill at his rib and was deeply alarmed, thinking, “It’s over.”
However, after a moment, Yan Buming didn’t feel any pain and quickly looked down.
He saw that the flying knife had torn a large hole in his clothes at his ribs but had not touched his skin, leaving only a hole in the fabric.
The throwing knife had cut through the clothes, flew past Yan Buming, and embedded into the ground.
Only then did Yan Buming understand that Su Yu Kuang had shown leniency.
If Su Yu Kuang’s hand had trembled, Yan Buming’s future would have been over.
At this moment, Yan Buming felt cold sweat dripping down his back, soaking his clothes.
The four burly men beside Su Yu Kuang looked at Yan Buming with mocking expressions and clapped, saying, “Boss’s sword skill is getting stronger.”
Su Yu Kuang snorted, saying, “Director Yan, do you remember now?”
At this point, how could Yan Buming dare to be dishonest? He hurriedly said with a smile, “Boss Su, I remember everything now. I came here for this matter. Those 179 brothers of Boss Su were all captured by Su Yamo. I’ve tried everything to get them released, but Su Yamo is just too unreasonable. She’s also a deputy superintendent, like me, and simply doesn’t listen to me.”
Su Yu Kuang coldly said, “Last month you came to me asking my brothers to create chaos in the city, saying you could get Su Yamo removed. But Su Yamo not only remained in place, my brothers over a hundred of them were all captured. Yan Buming, it turns out you were trying to get me ousted.”
Yan Buming quickly waved his hand, saying, “Boss Su, it’s only because of your help that I’ve reached the position of deputy superintendent. How could I possibly want to oust you? Initially, Su Yamo was about to meet her doom, but then a Grey Wolf appeared, resulting in over a hundred brothers being captured.”
Su Yu Kuang cursed, “Damn, what’s Grey Wolf?”
Yan Buming said, “It’s true, the whole city is talking about it. They say there’s a mysterious Grey Wolf specializing in protecting the weak.”
Upon hearing Yan Buming’s words, the four burly men beside Su Yu Kuang also nodded, saying, “Boss, we’ve heard about this too. It’s said Pepi and Old Mao’s deaths were very strange, all attributed to Grey Wolf’s doing.”
Su Yu Kuang’s face was somber for a moment and said, “Recently, Wanghai City has been restless. First, the Eight Great Gangs were eliminated, then the Cyan Snake Gang was eradicated, and now the threat seems to be pointing at us. Hmm, I suspect someone is orchestrating all this from behind the scenes.”
Upon hearing this, the four burly men beside Su Yu Kuang said, “Boss, do you mean there’s a hidden hand behind this?”
Su Yu Kuang narrowed his eyes and said, “Hmm, that’s right.”
The four burly men took deep breaths and said, “Boss, what should we do? Are we going to end up like the Eight Great Gangs?”
Su Yu Kuang pursed his lips, saying, “Not so easily; we’re not like the Eight Great Gangs, all bluster and no substance. Since this mysterious person hides out, scared to reveal himself, I’ll take the initiative to force him to show up.”
The four burly men looked delighted at Su Yu Kuang and asked, “How can we force him to show himself?”
Su Yu Kuang smiled slightly and said, “Take hostages to force this mysterious Grey Wolf to appear; I want to see who he really is.”
Yan Buming was thrilled to hear this and said, “Great, if Boss Su forces Grey Wolf to appear and then kills a few hostages, I’ll have a way to make the higher-ups charge Su Yamo with inadequate management. Then she’ll not only lose her position as deputy superintendent but might even be arrested.”
The four burly men nodded and said, “This is a good plan to kill two birds with one stone, but what kind of hostage do we need to have such significant influence?”
Su Yu Kuang laughed heartily and said, “One hostage isn’t enough; I want to take dozens, even hundreds.”
“Who are we going to take hostage?” Yan Buming and the four asked simultaneously.
Su Yu Kuang grinned and said, “Wanghai Noble School.”
