A carefully planned plot ended in failure.

Following his death, the entire Jiangbei fell into chaos. One of his subordinates, the third prince, died, the other two were crippled, the four great king level entities lost their leader, and in order to compete for the inheritance left behind by Chen Sangou, they had to fight on their own. Jiang Bei no longer had the strength to fight against Xia Jiang, and Xia Jiang could finally wait for Lei Zhenhu's recommendation in peace, no one would stop him from taking down the blue flag.

As for the person behind the dog king, Xia Jiang didn't care about him. The martial arts world had its rules, and that person wasn't a real martial artist. As long as that person dared to take revenge on Xia Jiang, the entire martial world would not let that person go.

Car after car departed from the Hilton Hotel. From the beginning to the end, no one else came to the hotel, even if there had been an explosion.

As for the guests staying at the Hilton Hotel, today was a very rare day. The explosion on the 16th floor was explained by a gas leak, and the people who died on the 16th floor were driven away one by one. As for where they went, no one knew.

Those who weren't dead were also sent out of the hotel. Most of them were just working for others, so they wouldn't really be troubled by others. Other than the third prince, who was more unlucky, those who followed Zeng Jiu upstairs were all taken care of by Xia Jiang.

A total of five people had died on the sixteenth floor.

One person had been killed by the explosion, while the other one had been killed by the explosion. As for the other two, they were his underlings. They were near the center of the explosion, and had already been seriously injured.

At 8: 30 in the evening, Lei Zhenhu was helped to the birthday banquet by Lei Jiayi. Not long after, the feast began.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was very good. Everyone continuously gave birthday presents to Old Xing. As the organizer of this birthday banquet, Xia Jiang was sitting next to Old Xing and was treated with many thorns.

Although the banquet was very lively, there were still people who noticed that something was amiss.

There were many fewer managers around Xia Jiang, and Chen Sangou and his men had also disappeared.

Many people knew about the old grudge between Xia Jiang and Chen Sangou. At this moment, Chen Sangou's disappearance was somewhat strange, but no one brought it up either. The main character of today was Master Lei, not Chen Sangou.

Xu Taiping wasn't in the hotel. After Chen Sangou died, he went downstairs and removed the needle from his face. After returning to his original appearance, he found the frightened Xia Jinxuan. He didn't greet Xia Jiang and left the hotel with Xia Jinxuan.

When the feast began, Xu Taiping and Xia Jinxuan had already arrived at the Jiang Yuan hospital.

Zhou Xiao Yu and Bao Rui Feng were both sent to this hospital and shared the same ward.

The pistol Song Hubai used was not very powerful, and the destructive power of the bullets was also very weak. After a simple operation, the bullets were removed and it would only take a short period of time before it could recover.

The two of them were lying on the bed, and Xu Taiping sat in the middle of the two beds.

Zhou Xiao Yu's face was pale, while Bao Lie Feng had his eyes closed. It seemed that he didn't want to speak at all.

"That's what happened." Xu Taiping said.

Zhou Xiaoyu's body trembled, her eyes turning red.

"Those people that died, died just like that? "Did he forge it himself to become cannon fodder just like that?" Zhou Xiaoyu looked at Xu Taiping and said with a trembling voice. He was very angry, but he did not dare to show it in front of Xu Taiping. That was why he was suppressing his anger.

"Yes." Xu Taiping nodded, "If I become cannon fodder, I will die for nothing."

"How can this be!" Zhou Xiao Yu finally could not hold it in anymore and he shouted angrily, "A manager, calling himself a cannon fodder just because he said he was a cannon fodder? He was working for Boss Xia, how could Boss Xia let him die just like that? Is there no other way? Do we have to let him die? "

"There's always someone who wants to be cannon fodder." Xu Taiping said calmly, "If Boss Xia wants to get the letter from Chen Sangou, you must send people to assassinate Lei Zhenhu." Xu Taiping said calmly, "If Boss Xia wants to get the letter from Chen Sangou, you must send people to assassinate Lei Zhenhu.

"Why, why must it be this way? Boss Xia had personally brought Zeng Jia onto the guillotine. He had forged to his death, but he probably wouldn't have thought that Boss Xia sent him there just to send him to his death. Didn't we agree that we are all brothers? Didn't you say that we have to look after each other? Is this how Boss Xia treats his brothers? " Zhou Xiaoyu asked with red eyes.

"Brother?" Xu Taiping smiled mockingly, looked at Bao Ri Feng and said, "Boss Bao, do you believe this?"

Bao Rui Feng opened his eyes, looked at the ceiling and asked, "Do you believe it?"

"I do." Xu Taiping said, "But I don't believe in others. I only believe in myself."

"Xiao Yu, this is what happens in the martial arts world." Bao Rinfeng let out a long sigh and said, "The martial arts world is a place to eat people, not only will others eat you, but also your own people will eat you. If you don't want to be eaten by others, you can only make yourself stronger.

Zhou Xiaoyu's body trembled violently before looking towards Xu Taiping, saying, "Brother Xu, thank you."

In the martial arts world, if you eat well and earn more, you have to be prepared to be sacrificed. Although Boss Xia's way of doing things is cold-blooded, but during this period of time, he had enjoyed something he had never enjoyed before. If you have to blame something, you can only blame it on him not having that kind of life. Xu Taiping said.

"Bro Xu …" I, I don't want to leave either. " Zhou Xiaoyu looked at Xu Taiping and said, "I'm scared, I'm really scared now. I can use a blade to hack at those people who are opposing me, but I can't accept dying at the hands of my own people. Bro Xu, I think I'll let you down."

"Since you've already walked this path, how can you retreat so easily?" Xu Taiping said, "If you want to quit, yes. Do you think those people you bullied before, those enemies of our Taiya Group, will let you go? With your back leaning on the mountain of the Taiya Group, there's nothing they can do to you. However, as long as you leave the Taiya Group, you will instantly become their prey. Why did Old Man Lei want to help Boss Xia before retreating? The reason is to have someone to back him up after he withdraws. Even if he is washed clean, there are still countless enemies. If he did not arrange for the person to take over the Blue Flag, do you think he will be able to sleep well at night? This is the path we will take. Once we walk on it, there will be no turning back. "

"Bro Xu …" Zhou Xiaoyu's eyes were filled with tears as she said, "One day, will you also sacrifice me like Boss Xia sacrificed himself?"

"If that day ever comes, it will." Xu Taiping said bluntly, "I am a very selfish person. In a situation where I cannot protect myself, I will sacrifice anyone around me."

"Including me?" Xia Jinxuan asked from the side.

"You are more important than my life." Xu Taiping said with a smile.

Zhou Xiaoyu sat there in a daze. Xu Taiping's words stabbed him in the heart, making him feel very uncomfortable.

"If you don't want to be sacrificed, then you have to have enough value to be able to become an indispensable person. Of course, if you really become my brother, then I'm willing to sacrifice myself for you." As Xu Taiping spoke, he patted Zhou Xiao Yu on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much into it. Keep walking and make your existence more meaningful, and you won't be sacrificed so easily."

"I-I understand, Bro Xu." Zhou Xiaoyu nodded, saying, "I will definitely work hard to become an indispensable person for Bro Xu. Thank you, Bro Xu. Just because you're willing to tell me all this directly, it proves that you're truly sincere towards me. I thank you."

"Recuperate well, everything depends on yourself. Your performance this time is very good. After you recover from your injuries, you are destined to be highly valued by Boss Xia. Maybe one day I will call you Brother Zhou." Xu Taiping laughed.

"No matter what, Bro Xu, you'll always be my boss." Zhou Xiaoyu said excitedly.

"Forget it, I still need to go to the hotel. When the two of you are discharged, I'll arrange some wine to welcome you." As Xu Taiping spoke, he pulled Xia Jinxuan out of the room.

The two of them walked downstairs hand in hand and got into Xia Jinxuan's red Mercedes-Benz Smart.

Xu Taiping sat in the driver's seat, while Xia Jinxuan sat in the passenger's seat.

"My dad, are you really that cold-blooded?" After being silent for a long time, Xia Jinxuan asked the question that she had always wanted to ask.

"It's not that your father is cold-blooded, it's because of his identity that he has to do this. Just remember, no matter who your father sacrifices, he will never sacrifice you, just like me. " Xu Taiping said.

"I don't want you to become like my dad one day. I grew up with my dad in the martial arts world, I know how the martial arts people are like, I really don't want you to become like them." Xia Jinxuan tightly held onto Xu Taiping's hand as she spoke.

"I'm not like your dad." Xu Taiping smiled as he patted Xia Jinxuan's head, "I'm much smarter than your dad and much stronger as well, so I can take care of a lot of things myself. There's no need to sacrifice others."

"Why are you smarter than my dad, and stronger than my dad!?" Xia Jinxuan frowned, "My dad has always been the strongest in my heart, you can only be number two!"

"Alright, alright, alright. Your dad is the best. Let's go back to the hotel." Xu Taiping started the car and drove towards the hotel.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the Hilton Hotel.

Xu Taiping took Xia Jinxuan's hand and led her directly to the banquet hall, where they were still drinking. Xu Taiping and Xia Jinxuan went to get two cups, poured wine, and walked towards the main table. Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
