Chapter 1223 - 731: Cliffhanger
"To think I’ve always treated you as brothers, well... well..." Guan Hongjun forced himself to remain standing, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at his former subordinates Lin Xiliang and Le Xiaodong, "I hope your conscience won’t torment you for this."
Le Xiaodong’s eyes flickered with hesitation, while Lin Xiliang remained indifferent, his lips curling: "Guan, you should worry about yourself first."
"Son of a bitch, even if I become a ghost, I won’t let you go!" Fang Shaogang, back-to-back with Guan Hongjun, glared at Lin Xiliang and Le Xiaodong, as if ready to swallow them whole.
"A ghost? I’ll fulfill that wish for you." Lin Xiliang’s eyes flashed with a vicious look, turning to a strong man in his thirties by his side, "Brother Sun, do it."
"Alright, do it." The man called Brother Sun responded, waving his hand, and over a dozen people charged towards Guan Hongjun and Fang Shaogang. Lin Xiliang also rushed forward, but Le Xiaodong hesitated before retreating.
"Ah!"
The scream came from Lin Xiliang, whose right hand had been chopped off, by none other than Brother Sun himself.
In the moment of stunned silence, the dozen people who charged earlier suddenly changed direction, weaving through the crowd, and when everyone came to their senses, over a dozen were already handcuffed.
"You... you..." Lin Xiliang pointed at Brother Sun with a pale face, unable to speak, as fear flickered in Le Xiaodong’s eyes, secretly retreating.
"If you dare take one more step back, I can’t guarantee your left hand won’t end up together with his right hand!"
The icy voice made Le Xiaodong dare not move a step further, his face looking fearful as he looked at them: "Brother Sun... I..." He was puzzled, as Brother Sun had convinced him to join Zhenzhong Group, but what on earth was this show?
Not only were the two of them stunned, but Guan Hongjun and Fang Shaogang, who were prepared to fight to the death, couldn’t comprehend it. If the adversaries were allies, why wait until they were wounded and unable to resist before revealing themselves?
But if the adversaries weren’t allies, how could they perform such maneuvers? In the blink of an eye, most of Zhenzhong Group’s minions were already down.
Brother Sun smiled apologetically at Guan Hongjun: "Guan, I’m sorry, we wouldn’t have revealed ourselves today if it wasn’t absolutely necessary."
With those words, he joined the fight, and those who had initially viewed Brother Sun as their backbone now lost heart to continue the battle, most deciding to flee.
Thus, ten minutes later, the ones standing were Brother Sun’s people, and the ones lying were previously Brother Sun’s people, with about a dozen having escaped.
Brother Sun smiled at Guan Hongjun: "Don’t worry, they won’t escape, someone is waiting for them."
"What is going on here?" Guan Hongjun was utterly puzzled. If Brother Sun was with Fierce Tiger, that seemed unlikely, as Fierce Tiger was only recently established.
And if Brother Sun was part of Team A... it didn’t quite add up. If he were a member of Team A, would he need to deploy people for a thorough investigation?
"We are all part of the Ye Family; if the young master hadn’t issued an order, we would have never stepped out no matter the circumstances. This time, we’re acting to synchronize with the young mistress." Brother Sun explained.
These mentions of "young master and young mistress" left Guan Hongjun even more bewildered. Could it be that his injuries had muddled his brain? Was he hearing things? He shook his head forcefully at the thought.
"Let’s go; the young mistress is waiting for us." Brother Sun waved his hand, and those lying on the ground were pulled up to follow them towards the villa.
Among those prodded to move were Lin Xiliang and Le Xiaodong, who were also thoroughly confused, unable to fathom the development of events.
...
After finishing his directives, Zan Wenliang fell into slumber, while Zhao Qianqian gazed earnestly at Luo Ye: "Luoluo, what’s the plan for Guan’s side?" She had been anxious about this matter.
"This matter is quite lengthy, and by the timeline, it seems there’s no time to tell you..." Luo Ye paused abruptly, listening intently.
"Swoosh swoosh..." The clear sound of footsteps transmitted through, making Zhao Qianqian tense up, ready for combat.
"It’s our people, I believe." Luo Ye said, taking out an infrared binoculars for a quick check, affirming, "That’s right." Then she glanced at the already sleeping Zan Wenliang, "It’s a pity; he should have seen it, so he wouldn’t regret confessing so early."
