Chapter 115: Zheng Guangyan, dead!
Chu Nan walked back from outside, his whole body covered in fresh blood. He glanced at Zero Luo Xi, Wang Hu and Luo Lie who looked somewhat shocked, and said calmly: "Let's go, let's head home."
Ling Luo Xi wanted to stand up, possibly because the rope had been tied around his feet for too long, and the blood had not circulated for a long time, so he cried out in pain.
Chu Nan strode past, carrying Zero Creek on his back, and called out to Luo Lie and Wang Hu, the three of them walking briskly towards the outside.
As they were about to reach the entrance of the building, Chu Nan suddenly turned his head and looked at Ling Luo who had her face resting on his shoulder, saying softly: "Little Zero, close your eyes."
Ling Luo Creek was stunned at first, then seemed to understand something and immediately nodded obediently, closing his eyes. As Chu Nan continued walking towards the outside, Ling Luo Creek caught a whiff of a strong bloody smell.
Seeing the scene in the factory yard, Luo Lie and Wang Hu were almost stunned. The whole place was littered with corpses. More than 20 thugs who had intended to escape earlier were all killed inside the factory yard. Even their limbs were cut off and separated from their bodies. The cruelty of the act made one's hair stand on end.
Chu Nan glanced at Luo Lie and the others, coldly saying: "Stop staring, let's go!"
Ling Luo Creek leaned against Chu Nan's back, wrapped his arms around Chu Nan's neck, and pressed his face to the base of Chu Nan's throat. With his eyes tightly closed, he suddenly said, "Big Brother Chu."
"Really?"
"What would you do if one day someone kidnapped me?"
"I will kill that person."
"But if one day my family takes me away, what will you do?"
"I'll go get you back."
"What if they don't want you and won't let you bring me back?"
"I'll become stronger, strong enough that they can't ignore me, strong enough that no one in this world can trample on my dignity."
"What if... what if someone forced me to marry him?"
Chu Nan fell silent for a moment before speaking in a calm tone: "Then I'll take you away."
"What if he blocks your way!"
Chu Nan simply said three words: "Kill him!"
Chu Nan's expression turned serious and solemn as he said, "Before, I never thought about these things, but after knowing you were taken hostage by this group of trash today, on my way here, my heart has been thinking that no one in this world can take you away from me, no one can..."
"What if I don't love you anymore?"
"I'll make you fall in love with me again, and if one day you forget about me, I'll make you fall in love with me once more. No one can stop us from being together, neither of us is capable of giving up..."
Ling Luo Creek smiled and pouted her small mouth: "You're so overbearing."
"I'm just so overbearing!"
Three people from the south of Chu left the factory and got into a sedan, with Wang Hu driving. The car arrived at the entrance of Jishitang, where Wang Yue, Hu Niao, and Wang Sao all ran out. Chu Nan asked them to support Ling Luo Xi first and return, also sending Luo Lie back. Then he asked Wang Hu to drive and accompany him for a walk.
Zheng Guangran was currently at home, sitting in the living room roasting meat. At this moment, he didn't want to do anything else, he just wanted to roast meat. He remembered that roasted meat was what he most wanted to eat in his life. In the past when Chu Changtian was still alive, he often accompanied Chu Changtian to roast and eat meat together, eating roasted meat while drinking beer.
It's just that all those things happened over ten years ago, almost twenty years now... Suddenly remembering those things, he also started to feel nostalgic.
"You're still so carefree, is this the last meal of your life?"
Zheng Guangran turned his head and happened to see a figure standing at the door. He didn't need to take a closer look to recognize him, it was Chu Nan, who had driven him into a desperate situation.
The calm expression on Zheng Guangran's face disappeared, revealing a desperate look. No one in this world wants to die, and Zheng Guangran naturally wants to live well too, as long as he can. He is very rich and has status in Jiangwan City, there is no need for him to think about death, but now it seems that he must die.
"Feeling surprised to see me?"
Zheng Guangran said with a disappointed face: "Originally I always hoped that the jackal would kill you."
"It's a pity you're disappointed."
Chu Nan walked in with big strides, glanced at the oven and sneered: "I can actually let you finish eating these roasted skewers before killing you."
"I...". Zheng Guangran stood up and knelt down in front of Chu Nan with a thud, asking, "Can you spare my life? I'm willing to leave Jiangwan City and never come back. I can give you money, all my family property. As long as you don't kill me, I'm willing to never appear in front of you again."
"Too late!" Chu Nan sneered, looking at Zheng Guangran with disdain. "Are you also afraid of death? If so, why are you still here waiting for me to come and kill you?"
"Because I can't walk!" Zheng Guangran said in despair, "The people on the road have already surrounded my house outside, and the public security department is not willing to send someone to protect me. What else can I do except sit here and wait for death..."
"Sixteen years ago, you and Eighth Master conspired against my father. Did you ever think it would come to this today?"
"I was wrong, I was really wrong." Zheng Guangran's face was filled with regret. "Your father helped me a lot in the past, but my ambition was too great. I thought that as long as your father was still in Jiangwan City for one day, everyone would only see him and never see my achievements. And I would always be suppressed by your father... I was foolish... The strong are always strong, no matter what time it is, the weak are always weak. Even if Big Brother Long Tian died, but these years I am still being suppressed by the Wu family. Even with Eighth Master secretly helping me, I still can't surpass the Wu family."
"Ambition!" Chu Nan's eyes were filled with deep hatred, and he said in a cold voice, "For the sake of a trivial ambition, you can turn against your benefactor? You can sell out your own brother? You can disregard righteousness? Zheng Guangran, you heartless person, what's the difference between you and a wolf or a dog? Even dogs know what loyalty is!"
"I was wrong, I was wrong! I really was wrong! It's all because I listened to the provocation of Eighth Master, it's all because my ambition is too big, it's all because I'm cruel and ruthless!" Zheng Guangran raised his hand and slapped himself in the face repeatedly, crying bitterly. "But considering your father and I were close friends when he was alive, please don't kill me! My daughter has gone missing, my son is going to be sentenced, if you want revenge, my family's suffering is already enough! I'm now a broken man with no home or family, sparing my life won't make any difference, will it? Isn't this kind of retribution enough?"
"I'm hitting myself, I'm hitting myself." Zheng Guangran slapped himself repeatedly, one slap after another landing on his own face, and both cheeks quickly became swollen.
Chu Nan's eyes were icy cold as he stared at him, his facial expression never changing. He sneered coldly: "A blood feud can only be avenged with blood, Zheng Guangran. I promised to spare your children's lives. You finish eating these barbecue and drinking this beer, and then I'll send you on your way."
Zheng Guangran saw that Chu Nan had no intention of letting him off, and he didn't slap himself in the face again. He got up from the ground, sat on a stool, grabbed a skewer from the grill, blew it gently, and started eating with big mouthfuls, stuffing his mouth full, swallowing, and then continuing to stuff more barbecue into his mouth. After that, he downed several large gulps of beer.
He was like someone who hadn't eaten in years, his mouth constantly chewing, swallowing non-stop, gulping down beer, tears streaming down his face, his entire face covered in tears, even his clothes were soaked through.
Seeing him like this, Chu Nan let out a faint sigh, but it wasn't out of pity for him. If he had known things would end up like this today, why bother in the first place?
"I... I've finished eating, let me smoke one more cigarette, and then I'll be done with it, you can deal with me as you please."
Chu Nan didn't stop him, Zheng Guangran reached into his pocket to grab something, and finally pulled out a handgun. The black muzzle quickly pointed at Chu Nan. Chu Nan's right hand grasped a dagger and directly stabbed it from the top of Zheng Guangran's head downwards. The sharp blade pierced through Zheng Guangran's skull. Zheng Guangran let out a "hng" sound, and his hand holding the gun immediately dropped down. His entire body thudded to the ground. Fresh blood flowed out slowly from the crack in his skull.
Chu Nan gave Zheng Guangran a glance, then kicked the stove with one foot, splashing flames everywhere, igniting some nearby fabrics. The fire raged on, and Chu Nan turned around, walking out of the hall without looking back. The long-standing feud between the Chu and Zheng families would be reduced to ashes along with this great fire.
There was also an Eighth Master, Chu Nan thought secretly in his heart.
The villa where the eighth master lived was engulfed in a raging fire, and the people rushed to put out the fire, but because the fire was too big, they couldn't extinguish it in time, and the Zheng family's villa turned into ashes.
After walking out of the Zheng family villa, Dàyé Gē hurriedly welcomed him and took a look at the sea of flames that was the Zheng family villa. He grinned from ear to ear and said: "Already taken care of?"
"It's settled!"
Big Tooth Brother burst out laughing and said: "Master Chu, you are really enjoying the pleasure of revenge! From now on, I, Big Tooth Brother, will follow your orders at all times. Whatever you say, east or west, I won't dare to disagree!"
Chu Nan smiled and said calmly, "Remember, I'm not mixed up in the underworld, nor do I plan to be. Jishidang is my business and territory. From now on, listen to Hualing's words, they're equivalent to mine..."
Big Brother Da Ya smiled ambiguously and said: "I understand, I understand. Master Chu, shall we go eat something? My treat!"
"No need, I'll just head home," Chu Nan said, opening the car door and getting into his own sedan.
"Then goodbye, Master Chu, goodbye, Lord Tiger!"
