Chapter 188 Night Of Assassination



Fourth brother's voice immediately caught the attention of Cui Hong, Second brother, and Fifth brother. Only Seventh brother continued to do his bone inspection without raising his head.

"What happened? Was Third brother killed?" Cui Hong's gaze turned even colder.

Fourth brother hung up the phone, his eyes sharp and angry. He said in a deep voice, "Boss, this time sister-in-law has stirred up trouble. Third brother had a rough time and was cut in the throat."

"Although he didn't die, he lost too much blood and was admitted to the hospital."

Upon hearing this, Cui Hong's face became dark and he asked, "Who did it?"

"Wang Chao!" Fourth brother replied.

Upon hearing this, Cui Hong's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a murderous intent flashed in them. "Wang Chao? Why him again?"

"Yes, it was him. I don't know where he came from, but he crushed all of Third brother's snakes, and in the blink of an eye, he cut Third brother's throat. He was so fast that he's a tough opponent to deal with!" Fourth brother said in a serious tone.

As he spoke, his expression was grave, and his eyes were full of fear.

They all knew who Shen Xiangdi was.

This man was not only a master of poison, but he was also terrifying in close combat. He used his dagger with incredible skill. Even if all of them were together, they knew they were not Shen Xiangdi's match.

First, they were afraid of Shen Xiangdi's poison, and second, they were afraid of his dagger.

They felt that even if the three of them teamed up, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat Third brother, and they might even be crushed by him.

However, according to their subordinates' reports, Wang Chao had cut Third brother's throat without a scratch and had won a complete victory.

"What else did he do?" Cui Hong asked in a cold voice.

"He also slapped sister-in-law several times and forced her to kneel down and apologize to his girlfriend," Fourth brother said.

Boom!

Upon hearing this, a terrifying murderous intent immediately erupted from Cui Hong's body.

As soon as the murderous aura emerged, the temperature at the scene dropped rapidly to freezing point, making everyone feel like they were in an icehouse and shivering.

"I've been in the martial world for so long, but this is the first time someone has bullied me like this."

Cui Hong's eyes were cold, and he said each word distinctly, "Declaring war against me, and even hitting my woman. This means we will fight to the death."

"Fourth brother, you take your men and go over there tonight to kill this Wang Chao for me!"

"And also, he wants to stand up for Song Henian and Pei Donghu, right? You guys go to their homes now and kill all their family members for me!"

"Understood." Fourth Brother nodded, his gaze ferocious.

"You won't be able to kill them."

At this point, Fifth Brother stood up, smoking a cigarette, and said, "I have already investigated everything about Wang Chao, Song Henian, and Pei Donghu."

"Wang Chao is from the countryside in Canton, and he used to attend No.12 Middle School. Later, he offended someone, it seems that he also offended someone else who is a powerful figure, which led to him fleeing abroad."

"No one knows what he went through in the past eight years."

"However, since he returned to the country, he has done a lot of things, offended He Guang, saved Zhao's old man, and hooked up with Shen Bing of the Shen family, as well as having a very ambiguous relationship with Liu Yifei, the daughter of the Liu family."

"Not long ago, he also beat up the young master of the Li family, suppressing the Li family alone, and has extraordinary medical skills and incomprehensible strength."

"And when he declared war against us, he had already moved Song Henian and Pei Donghu's families to live in Zhao's village."

"Our men cannot enter Zhao's village."

Pausing for a moment, he exhaled a puff of smoke and said in a deep voice, "Most importantly, he has a deep grudge with He Guang. He Guang once sent a hitman to kill him, but he killed the hitman instead."

"So, I suspect that he is the one who killed He Guang!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole scene was shocked.

"Fifth Brother, if you have such information, why didn't you say it earlier?"

The second brother was immediately anxious and said in a deep voice, "Since you have investigated, do you have any evidence?"

Fifth Brother was silent for a moment, then immediately shook his head and said, "No."

"What you're saying is baseless," Fourth brother frowned. 

Cui Hong's expression also darkened. 

Without evidence, they couldn't know for sure if Wang Chao was responsible for He Guang's death. 

"We found it!" 

Just then, Seventh brother's eyes lit up, and he stood up, laughing loudly. "Finally, I found it." 

Cui Hong and the others immediately approached, looking at Seventh brother. 

Seventh brother pieced together the broken bones and said, "Based on He Guang's bones, he was first stabbed in the forehead with a fruit knife, and then someone forcefully dislocated some of his bones, making them incomplete." 

"Look at the other fractures; they're clearly different from the one in his forehead." 

"So, you're saying that two groups of people killed He Guang?" Cui Hong's gaze became icy. 

"That's right!" 

Seventh brother nodded and said, "First, someone killed He Guang, and then another group of people covered it up. I guess these two groups don't know each other, and the way they covered it up was very professional." 

"Can you tell whose handiwork it is?" 

"I can't." 

Faced with this question, Seventh brother shook his head and said helplessly, "This kind of professional technique is rare. It's different from those professional cleaners in the market. I can't find any traces." 

Upon hearing this, Cui Hong's gaze became even colder. He took a puff of his cigar and said coldly, "Regardless of whether there is evidence or not, we'll treat it as if Wang Chao did it. Tonight, you guys go to Wang Chao's house and kill his whole family!" 

"Also, after killing him, search Wang Chao's house and see if there is any money that He Guang took with him!" 

He felt that it was very likely that Wang Chao killed He Guang and blackmailed that money. 

Moreover, He Guang was the intermediary between him and the foreign organization's forces. Now that He Guang was dead, he couldn't contact those people, which was equivalent to losing a large amount of business.

Cui Hong was furious over the two losses, and regardless of whether Wang Chao was responsible or not, he wanted to kill Wang Chao to vent his anger and send a message to others in the underworld that he, Great King Cui Hong, was not to be trifled with.

"Boss, Wang Chao is now in good terms with the three major families - the Shens, the Zhaos, and the Lius. If we kill him, we will be at odds with them. Are you sure you want to do this?" Second brother furrowed his brow and asked.

"Heh, so what if we have to deal with the three major families? The person I want to kill is Wang Chao, and even if Zhao Dong comes to stop me, he won't be able to." 

Cui Hong's eyes were cold and arrogant, as he spoke slowly, "Furthermore, these three major families may be powerful, but we have Lafayette backing us up. With someone like Lafayette on our side, do you think they would dare to confront us head-on?"

Pausing for a moment, his gaze was filled with disdain and coldness as he continued, "Even with a hundred times more courage, they wouldn't dare to face Lafayette!"

"Spread the word, tonight at twelve o'clock, we kill Wang Chao's entire family!"

Cui Hong's eyes were icy as he spoke, and his cigar was gripped tightly in his hand, with all his thoughts consumed by his desire for revenge. He was determined to regain his lost face and didn't care who was behind Wang Chao, as long as he had Lafayette backing him up.

Upon hearing Cui Hong's words, Second brother and Fourth brother looked at each other, with surprise and shock in their eyes. In Canton City, Lafayette's influence was truly enormous, as they could ignore the three major families - impressive!

Fourth brother immediately stood up and said, "Alright, I will arrange it now, Boss. You just wait and see. After tonight, I will put Wang Chao's head in front of you!"

At the Twentieth Middle School, Yang Mi and Wang Chao walked around the playground, reminiscing about their past memories and feeling emotional as they saw so many students studying. They planned to go to the classroom to sit and feel their lost youth once again, but unfortunately, they realized that the students' evening classes would last for a long time. In the end, they had no choice but to leave.

When they reached the school gate, they were surprised to find that Song Henian had already left.

"Where is Brother Nian?" Wang Chao asked Zhang Uncle.

"Master Song left half an hour ago," Zhang Uncle replied.

Wang Chao had no choice but to send Yang Mi away alone. 

Yang Mi didn't have a house in Canton City and was staying at the hotel arranged by the crew. 

Wang Chao called a taxi and went to the hotel. 

Since they both had been drinking, they couldn't drive. 

When they arrived, Yang Mi smiled slightly and said to Wang Chao, "Do you want to come up for a cup of coffee?" 

This was an innuendo, meaning that Yang Mi wanted to have some intimate relationship with Wang Chao. 

Speaking, her face was a little red. 

After spending the night together, she felt that she and Wang Chao had a spiritual affinity. 

If the first person was Wang Chao, she felt that she could accept it. Even if she didn't end up with Wang Chao, it would still be a beautiful memory of her youth. 

Wang Chao smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid of reporters? If you celebrities casually enter a room with some men, it will definitely cause a lot of discussion if it's photographed." 

Those female celebrities in the entertainment industry, if they were photographed entering a hotel with a man, it would definitely cause a lot of rumors. 

"It's just a cup of coffee. We're doing nothing wrong," Yang Mi said. 

"Let's forget it. I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't want to affect your bright future as a big star. I'll leave now. Goodbye!" 

Wang Chao smiled and after saying that, he sat directly into the taxi and left quickly. 

Yang Mi watched Wang Chao's figure leave and was secretly angry, stamping her foot. "What an idiot. Have I ever looked down on you for being an ordinary person?" 

Wang Chao didn't stay overnight, and she felt very uncomfortable. But she picked up the horse-shaped jade that Wang Chao gave her and smiled again, feeling warm in her heart. "Humph, Wang Chao, we have at least two or three more opportunities to meet. I don't believe you can escape from my palm!" 

Tonight, they agreed to go see the teacher's wife together, and she also agreed to return a gift to Wang Chao in the future. 

She would make good use of the two chances to meet and would make sure to meet Wang Chao several times. 

After saying that, she cherished the jade and walked into the hotel. 

After bidding farewell to Yang Mi, Wang Chao came to the Zhaojia Village Backing Book where Song He was living. 

He gave the remaining four protective jade to Song He, saying, "You must keep these jade on you at all times, even when you're bathing and sleeping." 

"What is this?" Song He looked puzzled. 

"These are things that can protect your safety. They are the carved and blessed protective talismans that I painstakingly made," Wang Chao said. 

"Do you still believe in these things? Isn't this superstition?" Song He frowned slightly. 

... 

Wang Chao's face turned dark.

How did the concept of consecrated jade and other similar items become associated with superstition in the eyes of Yang Mi and Song Henian?

Despite not fully believing in the concept, Song Henian nodded in agreement when he saw Wang Chao's consecrated jade. Wang Chao then made sure that Song Henian understood the importance of the item before leaving Zhaojia Village.

Upon returning home at 10 PM, Wang Chao found that his siblings were already asleep and Wang Baoqi had gone back to school. Wang Bin and Wang Cheng were also back at school, as they were day students who only stayed on campus on Mondays and Fridays. Meanwhile, Wang Baoyu had gone back to the hospital to continue working, and Huang Ying was already sleeping with Wang Baozhu. 

Wang Chao did not want to disturb them and instead went to the living room, where he began carving the consecrated jade into various animal shapes and imbuing them with his own array formation. He took his time and created many protective talismans.

Without realizing it, it was already midnight when Wang Chao finished carving all the jade stones and imbuing them with his array formation. He had even infused a special array into the Guanyin jade statue.

Under his craftsmanship, the jade had become an extraordinary and mysterious protective talisman with powerful mystical properties that could save one's life three times.

"Alright!" Wang Chao looked at the jade with great satisfaction.

He knew that as long as he brought this jade to his mother, it would protect her and keep her safe.

Feeling tired, Wang Chao yawned and decided to take a shower. Suddenly, he sensed a strong killing intent approaching him.

Killing intent?

Wang Chao's expression darkened as he turned his gaze towards the source of the energy.

As a soldier, he has lived through gunfights and faced various assassins and opponents. He is particularly familiar with the aura of killing intent and can sense when it is directed towards him. 

Someone is coming to kill him, or perhaps his family. Wang Chao's eyes turn cold. 

He takes the spirit stones on the table and ties them onto the clothes of his mother, father, sister, and niece, ensuring their safety. Then he slowly walks out of the house, closes the door, and jumps onto the roof of the building. From there, he looks down on everything around him. 

The slum has no streetlights, and it is pitch-black at night, but Wang Chao has X-ray vision. His eyes emit a faint light in the darkness, and he can see clearly. 

At that moment, he sees it. 

Thirty strong men are approaching from all directions, with sharp weapons in their hands and a fierce aura. Some of them carry guns, their eyes even colder. They are like death reapers in the dark, full of killing intent. 

Their target is clear, and it is Wang Chao's house. They are heading towards it, not even sparing a glance at the other houses!
