527
The entire nightclub was in ruins.
All the equipment on the ceiling had been burned down. The lights, hanging, and soundproofing equipment were all useless. As for the floor, more than a third of the seats had been burned down. The floor was filled with black sewage and the air faintly smelled of alcohol.
In order to extinguish the fire as quickly as possible, the Prince's men even used alcohol.
Beer bottles littered the floor, some smashed, some not.
Due to the stage being closest to Ka 8, it had been burnt beyond recognition.
The smoke in the bar had long since dispersed, leaving only a few places with the stench of burnt things.
Some of the guests were sent to the hospital, while others went home.
Many people were still afraid of this fire. They didn't understand why it would suddenly start, but the fire was followed by smoke and then by flames.
The Prince ordered people to compensate these customers for their losses, and it was a full compensation. No matter how much wine you bought today, no matter how much you drank previously, and how much wine you have left now, they will all be paid for.
This somewhat redeemed some of the guests' goodwill, but in the end, it was not able to stop the collapse of the Merry Forest's gold selling nest.
This was not a physical collapse, but a collapse in the hearts of people.
In the past, this place was the safest and most fun place to be in. But now, two days in a row had passed and many people no longer treated it as their first choice to play.
Perhaps after many years, the Prince would be able to restore this place to its former state, but that was already many years later. At the very least, in the near future, this nightclub would become depressed, and might not even be able to continue operating.
The internal hardware of the nightclub alone would require at least several months to recover.
The prince, along with a few of his subordinates, were standing in the ruins with an extremely ugly expression.
"Your Royal Highness, there's a call from the city police station. I'm asking you, how should I deal with this matter?" One of his subordinates whispered into the prince's ear.
"The matters of the martial arts world should be handled according to the rules of the martial arts world. Tell the city police not to interfere. I thank them for their good intentions." The prince coldly replied.
"Your Highness, do you know who did this?" A trusted subordinate asked.
"I don't know, but I think I know who did it." I think the people from Jiang Yuan City know that we colluded with those managers and only Xu Taiping from Jiang Yuan City has the ability to cause such a big commotion. I just found out that Zhou Xiao Yu disappeared from Jiang Yuan City a few days ago. "
"What you mean is, Xu Taiping asked Zhou Xiao Yu to do the things that happened in the past two days?" The subordinate asked carefully.
Other than him, I can't think of anyone else with the ability and motivation to deal with me. The current me is the bearer of the blue flag, and anyone who wants to deal with me must consider my position in the martial arts world. Only Xu Taiping can act so brazenly. the Prince said.
"Then I will now gather my brothers to go to Jiang Yuan City and take care of that Xu Taiping!" His Highness's men gritted their teeth as they spoke.
"Kill him? If he was that easy, he would have died a long time ago. Not only is this man smart, he also has a strong combat ability, and the scariest thing is that this person's luck is very good, such a person is very difficult to kill, but, since he did this, we cannot pretend that nothing happened. Fine, we just have to start the fight, sooner or later we'll have to bring Zhou Xiao Yu here to execute our orders. Whoever catches one dies shall be rewarded with five hundred thousand. " The prince coldly replied.
"Understood, Your Highness!"
The Prince's men nodded, bowed, and left.
Not long after, an order to kill Zhou Xiao Yu was sent out by the Prince.
At this moment, all of the Jianghu forces in the city had been roused into action. Everyone had rushed to the lobby of the hotel to check on Zhou Xiaoyu's whereabouts.
"Give Xu Taiping a call." The prince's opponent said.
"Yes sir!" The subordinate nodded, found Xu Taiping's number, and called him. He then handed the phone over to the prince.
At this moment, Xu Taiping was sitting in a Chevy.
He was surrounded by an unidentified group of men.
Xu Taiping's phone rang. Everyone pointed the gun at him.
Xu Taiping carefully took out his phone from his pocket.
"Aries, follow up on the phone, you, pick up the phone. "No need to mention it." The man who looked like the boss said to Xu Taiping and the person beside him.
The person beside Xu Taiping took out a data cable and inserted it into his phone.
"What the hell is this?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.
"Never mind, you, pick up the phone, don't mention it." The man called Aries said.
Xu Taiping shrugged helplessly and looked at the number on his phone. He found it was an unknown number, so he picked it up.
"Hello, hello." Xu Taiping said.
"Xu Taiping, I have to say, your methods are pretty good!" The Prince's sinister voice came over the phone.
"So it's the prince!" Xu Taiping smiled and said, "How could Your Highness have the time to call me?"
"Of course I'm free. My Merry Forest has been set on fire. If I don't have the time to call you, the next one to burn it should be my home, right?" the Prince said quietly on the other end of the line.
"Your Merry Forest burned?" Xu Taiping asked in shock, "What's going on? Why aren't you paying attention? Has the electric wire been on for too long?"
"Stop playing the fool, Xu Taiping." The prince coldly said, "I have always respected Boss Xia, and as his successor, I have always wanted to be friends with you, but I never thought that you would actually take the initiative to start a war against me. Xu Taiping, do you really think this martial arts world is the same one that existed when Xia Jiang was here?"
Xu Taiping looked at the people around him, then joked, "I really don't know what you're talking about."
I, the Prince, will never fear anyone. Xu Taiping, before long, I will capture Zhou Xiaoyu. He will become the first sacrifice for our battle. Just you and I, just you wait. the Prince said.
"Whatever you say, I don't know what you're talking about." Xu Taiping laughed.
"Humph!" The prince coldly snorted and hung up the phone.
"Do you want to fight in the martial arts world?" The man who looked like the eldest brother looked at Xu Taiping mockingly.
"I don't know either. Maybe this person is an idiot. Oh yeah, handsome, I still don't know what you're called." Xu Taiping looked at him and said.
"Lion." "My name is Lion," said the man who looked like the eldest.
"Lion?" Xu Taiping nodded, "So that's the code name you all use."
"Aries, hand over the recording to the Public Security Department. Although it has nothing to do with us, we've met with it after all." the lion said to the white sheep.
"Understood, boss!" The Aries nodded.
Xu Taiping rolled his eyes, "This big brother lion, from beginning to end, only that prince said I didn't do anything."
"I have no interest in your martial arts battles." The lion looked at Xu Taiping and said, "Tell me, what do you know about Chen Shuquan?"
"Chen Chuanzhi?" It's Doctor Chen? " Xu Taiping asked.
"That's right." The lion nodded.
"Did you just say that Dr. Chen is dead? Is it Dr. Chen Chuanjun?" "How is this possible, such a diligent doctor!" Xu Taiping said excitedly.
"Don't talk about such useless things. Tell me, why did you go to the laboratory to find Chen Shujie at that time?" the lion asked.
"Big Brother, this is really a coincidence!" Xu Taiping pointed to his phone, "You can look at the record, I was at home earlier, and then someone under my command called me to say that they heard a gunshot in the laboratory, and a friend of mine was ambushed by an enemy and was hospitalized, and I wondered if someone might be coming to deal with my friend, so I quickly went to the hospital, and my subordinate said that the gunshot came from the laboratory, and that Dr. Chen's laboratory was still lit up, so I went there. Really, I didn't even know that it was Doctor Chen's laboratory!"
"Check his phone records." said the lion.
Aries nodded, then picked up a laptop and began typing rapidly.
Not long after, the recording of his subordinate's call to Xu Taiping appeared on his computer.
"Boss, a gunshot rang out in the First Hospital!"
The current technology was enough to automatically record every single word that you said on the phone. As long as you had sufficient authority, you could check the phone records of other people, and this phone record was truly the complete record of the phone calls. Not only to whom did you call, but for how long did you call, including what you said, you could also record it.
Of course, Xu Taiping's phone carried the destruction program. Most of the time, the confidential things that he told people would be destroyed after the program was revealed. Even the communications operators would not be able to find anything out of the ordinary.
"That's true." After the lion listened to the recording, he looked at Xu Taiping and said, "Looks like we were wrong about you."
"That's right!" Xu Taiping nodded.
"Stop the car!" said the lion.
With a squeak, the car stopped.
Xu Taiping was pushed out of the car.
"You will forget everything that happened tonight." The lion walked up to Xu Taiping, grabbed him by the collar and pulled out a needle, wanting to stab him in the neck.
Before, Xu Taiping did not resist because he did not encounter anything that could threaten his life. Now, this lion wanted to give him a shot, although it looked like a medicine that could cause a person to lose their memory for a short time, but God knows what exactly was there. Xu Taiping definitely would not be given a shot like that, so when the lion took the needle and stuck it in Xu Taiping's neck, Xu Ping would move!
