“There’s no use in calling the police. In fact, we might anger them and they might harm your parents.”
Jiang Wanying was terrified. Her face turned pale. “So… what should we do?” She said timidly, “There’s so many of them, but there’s only one of you!”
“That’s easy! They’re only hooligans!” Tang Hao said casually.
He had killed many cultivators. Defeating mundane hooligans was no challenge to him.
Jiang Wanying opened her mouth.
She did not know where Tang Hao got his confidence from.
Tang Hao took out a phone and searched through it. He found a number and dialed it.
The call was soon answered.
“F*ck your mother, you bastard. Can’t you find another time to call me? I’m enjoying myself here. Do you want to be beaten up so badly?”
Someone spoke angrily on the other end of the call.
He sounded like a man in his fifties.
That person was none other than Wu Qiye.
Tang Hao disguised his voice and started cursing into the phone.
“F*ck your mother. Who do you think you are? How dare you send someone to mess with my girl? You’re in River Delta City, but you’re stepping into my turf. Are you tired of living?”
He did not wait for the other end to respond and continued cursing. “Don’t you know who I am? People call me Bro Bear, the number one gangster of Province Z. I won’t forgive you if you try to cause trouble on my turf!
“If you have the balls, tell me your address, and I’ll get someone to cut you!”
The other end of the phone was silent for a while. After that, Wu Qiye started laughing.
“Oh, f*ck me! You must be an idiot! Bro Bear? Number one gangster of Province Z? You’re nothing in my eyes! I’m Wu Qiye, the number one gangster of River Delta City. If you have the balls, send someone over then! I’ll be waiting!
“If you don’t kill me today, I’ll send my posse to cut you up tomorrow and feed you to the dogs!”
After that, he gave Tang Hao his address.
The phone call ended after that.
Tang Hao put the phone down and grinned. Now that he had Wu Qiye’s address, what was next was to look for him.
Jiang Wanying looked at him incredulously.
“Tang… Tang Hao… are you really a gangster?”
She would not have been so easily deceived otherwise, but Tang Hao’s tone of voice was too convincing.
“Of course not! Do I look like one?” Tang Hao was flabbergasted.
He threw the phone out of the window, then started the car and drove toward River Delta City.
About three hours later, he arrived at the destination.
In front of him was a large mansion. That was Wu Qiye’s house.
“Wait in the car, Teacher Jiang. Don’t come out no matter what. Don’t be afraid if you hear anything.”
After that, Tang Hao opened the car door.
“Be careful!”
Jiang Wanying instinctively reached out and grabbed Tang Hao’s arm tightly.
Her beautiful eyes were fraught with worry.
“Don’t worry. I’ll be back soon!” Tang Hao put her hand away, got out of the car, and walked toward the mansion.
Chapter 393 - Tang Hao Is Confused
The mansion in front of him was extraordinarily lavish. Even the gates were plated in gold.
Several bodyguards in black suits and shades stood behind the gates.
“State your business!” One of them yelled as he watched Tang Hao come near.
“I’m here to cut someone up!” Tang Hao grinned and said coldly.
The bodyguards were stunned and did not know how to react. A moment later, they clutched their stomachs and doubled over with laughter.
“Ahaha! This kid is so funny! He’s here to cut someone up? Tell me, is he a lunatic?”
“Haha! There must be something wrong with his head!”
They laughed until their stomachs hurt.
Wu Qiye, their boss, was the top gangster in the criminal underworld of River Delta City. Even the police dared not look for him for trouble. Did the kid say he wanted to start a fight at their boss’s house?
That was a joke!
One of them seemed to have remembered something. “Right, Boss said earlier that there was an idiot from Province Z who called him and said that he was sending someone over to cut him up. Don’t tell me that’s the kid?”
The other people were also stunned.
They heard about the news earlier, but they treated it as a prank. They did not expect someone to actually show up, much less a teenager.
“Haha, don’t they have anyone else from Province Z? Why did they send a wimpy kid here?”
They started mocking Tang Hao.
One of the people opened the gate. “I have to admit that you’ve got balls, kid! Get in here, I’d like to see how you’re going to cut all of us up!”
“What is he going to do? He doesn’t even have any weapons on him!” Another person mocked.
The news spread throughout the mansion. More bodyguards came out.
“Come out here and see, there’s an idiot from Province Z!”
They shouted, and more and more people came to watch the drama. The laughter became louder and louder, and they looked at Tang Hao as though they were looking at an idiot.
Tang Hao stood there impassively.
A group of people came out of the mansion.
The person in the middle was a man in his fifties. He was wearing loose-fitting pajamas and hugged a scantily-clad woman in each of his arms.
“Oh, he did send someone! And it’s a kid, too? Hahaha, what a joke!”
Wu Qiye looked outside the door and started laughing loudly.
“Kid, does your Bro Bear have something wrong with his head? Don’t tell me there’s no one else in Province Z that he has to send a wimp like you?”
Tang Hao’s face remained impassive. He glanced at the man at the doorway and said, “So, you’re Wu Qiye?”
“That’s right, that’s my name. Why, are you really going to cut me up?” Wu Qiye yelled.
Then, he yelled to his left and right, “Just be careful. As long as you don’t kill him, you can do whatever you like.”
“Yes, Boss!”
The bodyguards shouted, then looked at Tang Hao ominously. All of them closed in on Tang Hao while rubbing their fists.
Meanwhile, Wu Qiye returned into the mansion with the women in his arms.
Tang Hao grinned. “Don’t leave just yet! You’re already outside. I’m determined to cut you up today!”
Everyone fell silent when they heard that. They were at a loss of how to reply.
Wu Qiye stopped walking and started laughing. He turned around and pointed at Tang Hao. “Beat him. Beat him up. Beat him half to death,” he said viciously.
The bodyguards cheered, then pounced on Tang Hao viciously.
Tang Hao cracked his neck and took a big step forward. He reached out with his left arm and caught a fist that was aimed at his face.
Crack! The sound of a wrist snapped in two.
The person screamed like a pig being slaughtered. His face turned pale immediately.
Tang Hao flicked his right hand and a dagger appeared. He waved it and sliced a stun baton in two. The person holding the stun baton was utterly confused.
Tang Hao kicked the person away, and he crashed into a group of people.
Everyone was shocked by that move.
Their eyes opened wide and their jaws dropped.
“He’s a martial arts expert!” They exclaimed.
Even Wu Qiye was shocked. He thought that the kid was an idiot, but did not expect that he was an expert.
‘F*ck! Just who is this Bro Bear? Isn’t this just a small matter? Why did he have to send an expert over?’ Wu Qiye wailed in his heart and swore his bad luck.
Tang Hao casually walked forward. His movements were slick and even looked rather cool. Eve
ry punch or kick broke a bone, and accompanying that was an agonized wail.
The bodyguards flew backward and fell to the ground.
Blood splashed whenever he swung his dagger.
The bodyguards were becoming afraid. Their faces turned pale and they dared not step forward.
The kid was a freak. They could never hope to defeat him.
Wu Qiye was shaking. “Guns! Take them out! Shoot him to death!” He yelled.
The remaining bodyguards hesitated, but eventually took out their guns and prepared to shoot.
Tang Hao smiled at them. He suddenly had a gun in his hand.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The bodyguards fell.
Wu Qiye trembled when he saw that. He kneeled on the floor.
He was almost in tears. The kid seemed like a professional assassin. What did he do to deserve all that? He could not comprehend.
Tang hao aimed at the people who were still standing. They threw their weapons away and kneeled on the ground to surrender.
Tang Hao turned around and walked toward Wu Qiye.
When he got in front of the defeated gangster, he aimed his dagger at his shoulder.
“I did promise that I’ll cut you up, and I’m a man of my word.”
Tang Hao said while slashing at Wu Qiye a few more times.
“Please spare my life!”
Wu Qiye kowtowed and begged, streaming tears and snot.
Tang Hao sheathed his dagger and said coldly, “I can spare your life, but you’ll have to be honest. You kidnapped two people this morning. Where are they now?”
Wu Qiye was shocked and eventually realized who Tang Hao was referring to. The daughter of the couple must be that Bro Bear’s girl, which meant that the two people were Bro Bear’s soon-to-be parents-in-law.
‘F*ck me! I’m finished!’ He wailed in his heart.
“They… They’ve been sent away,” he said softly.
“Where have they been sent to?”
“The port! I heard that they’ll be shipped to Merrica.” (TN: Keeping up with fictional country names, this refers to the USA, of course.)
Tang Hao was confused.
‘What’s going on?’
“Who ordered you? Tell me!” Tang Hao roared sternly.
“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you… It’s like this. Someone came to look for me yesterday and offered me five million yuan to kidnap three people. That person is an underworld figure, but he’s more powerful than I am. He’s from the Chinese triads in Merrica.
“I agreed to it because it was a large sum of money, so I sent someone to kidnap the couple early in the morning. I sent someone to kidnap the daughter too, but they failed.
“I contacted that person after that, and he said that he doesn’t want the daughter. I’ve sent away the couple earlier. The ship should be departing tonight.”
Wu Qiye told Tang Hao everything while trembling.
The explanation left Tang Hao more confused than ever.
‘What’s going on? Why are Chinese triads involved in this?’
Chapter 394 - Utterly Flustered
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Soon after, Tang Hao stepped out of the gates.
He was more confused than ever.
Teacher Jiang said that both of her parents were normal people. However, if they were truly normal people, how were they involved with Chinese triads from another country?
“I can’t figure out what’s going on!” Tang Hao mumbled as he returned to his car.
Jiang Wanying immediately pounced on him and touched all over him with her delicate hands. “Are you OK? Did you get hurt? I thought I heard gunfire,” She said anxiously.
Tang Hao blushed. “I’m fine! I’m really fine!”
After confirming that Tang Hao was unhurt, she breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her seat.
She blushed slightly and lowered her head. “I’m glad that you’re fine. Don’t you know how worried I was?”
Tang Hao coughed lightly and asked her seriously, “Teacher Jiang, are you sure that your parents are normal people?”
Jiang Wanying was surprised. “Why do you ask that? Aren’t they in the mansion? What’s going on?”
Tang Hao told her what he was told by Wu Qiye.
Jiang Wanying was equally clueless as Tang Hao.
“That… That’s impossible! My parents are as normal as one can be. One of them is a teacher and the other is a civil servant. How would they be related to overseas Chinese triads?” Jiang Wanying mumbled.
“Looks like we’ll have to find your parents and ask them ourselves,” Tang Hao said, “They left the mansion only a little more than an hour ago. The ship departs at night. There’s still time.”
As Tang Hao spoke, he started his car and drove to the port.
It was evening when they arrived at the destination.
Tang Hao ordered Jiang Wanying to stay in the car while he went alone.
There was only one way to smuggle people out of the country by ship, which was by using a shipping container. However, there were tens of thousands of containers at the port and they stretched on without end.
Tang Hao went to the management office to ask for information. There was indeed a ship that would be departing for Merrica that night.
He asked several more questions and obtained the cargo manifest.
Using the manifest, he went to the ship and searched through the containers one by one.
Very soon, he made a discovery.
Standing in front of a container, he could sense two living objects inside. He could vaguely hear their heartbeats and breathing.
‘This is the one!’
Tang Hao’s expression changed. He narrowed his eyes.
He immediately proceeded to open the container.
Suddenly, he sensed killing intent behind him. Then, he could hear the whistle of a throwing knife piercing through the air.
He deftly dodged aside.
He heard the person who threw the knife exclaim in surprise that their target managed to dodge the attack.
After that, he heard the sounds of a few more knives being thrown.
“Tsk.” Tang Hao reached out and grabbed the knives in his hand.
That person was dumbfounded when he saw that.
The person leaped off the container and tried to run away. Tang Hao flicked his wrist. A throwing knife flew out and pierced that person’s calf.
“Ow!” The person cried out in pain and fell on the floor.
Tang Hao went and examined the person. He was a short and small man in his forties with a pointed face that looked like a monkey.
“So you’re the one behind this!’ Tang Hao smirked. “Tell me, what’s going on, and why did you kidnap this family?”
The person kept his mouth shut and said nothing.
His beady eyes glared at Tang Hao.
“You’re not speaking?” Tang Hao smirked again. He retrieved a truth potion and force-fed it to him. Very soon, the person spilled the beans and told him everything he knew.
Tang Hao was disappointed after hearing what the person had to say.
The person was also a minion who did not know the reason behind the kidnapping.
He knocked the person out with a karate chop, then went to open the shipping container. He found a crate in a corner and saw two people curled up inside. They were Teacher Jiang’s parents.
The two people were unconscious. He quickly checked their vital signs to find out that they were generally unharmed albeit a little weak.
He deftly untied them, and the two people gradually woke up.
They were confused when they saw Tang Hao.
“You are…?” Mr. Jiang was clueless.
He could sense that the boy came to their rescue, but who was he?
