Chapter 192: Chapter 99: Cutting All the Way (5.2K)
Five minutes later.
In a small alley beside the market.
Several passersby in the alley were looking curiously at Zhang Feng, along with Brother Lin who Zhang Feng was dragging along.
Moreover, there were some bloodstains on Zhang Feng’s work uniform.
All these scenes combined made the passersby quickly avoid from both sides.
’Why is there so much blood on that person?’
’Did they get into a fight?’
They pondered in their hearts, but didn’t dare to intervene.
There was even one person who returned to where they came from just now.
Zhang Feng, however, kept dragging Brother Lin by himself.
Brother Lin was more or less half-crouching and walking backward, occasionally falling and being dragged a few meters by Zhang Feng.
But the occasional pain gradually brought him back to his senses.
"Brother..." He tried to plead, he hadn’t enjoyed enough of the pleasures of the world and didn’t want to die.
Upon hearing him regain his senses, Zhang Feng, seeing that they had reached deeper into the alley, loosened his grip and came to a stop.
However, Zhang Feng ignored him.
Instead, he quickly recalled while observing the surrounding buildings, determining direction and location.
’I recall some information about this big alley district. The roads here are quite complex, and the ground is not good, difficult for cars and motorcycles to penetrate.
Even if other forces discovered the market incident and came to find me, it would be easier for me to escape here.
It’s better than a car chase on the main street.
Comparing the car’s performance and my driving skills, I still trust my skills more.’
Zhang Feng thought to himself, glancing over Brother Lin’s pleading eyes, then looked towards the setting sun in the west.
’Especially going out from the southwest, it’s a partially demolished residential area, where you predominantly see bricks and broken walls scattered.
Now that it’s late, even if a large group were to chase me, as long as I head that way.
Those ruins are endless obstacles for them.
But for me, it’s as if I’m walking on flat ground.’
After planning his escape route, Zhang Feng looked at the anxious Brother Lin,
"Cut to the chase, who are you with?"
"San Hui!" Brother Lin gave the name, then proceeded to plead, "Big Brother! I was really wrong, please be lenient..."
"Don’t say useless things." Zhang Feng memorized the name, ignoring his plea, and asked again: "Where can I find him?"
"How would I know, I’m just a small head in the gang..." Brother Lin shook his head hastily, and seeing Zhang Feng pull out a dagger, he quickly nodded,
"I know a few places he often goes, but I really don’t know precisely where..."
’Don’t know precisely?’ Zhang Feng considered this, preparing to say ’call to probe,’ but suddenly recalled that cell phones are scarce these days.
Glancing again at his tank top and shorts, there was no sign of a brick phone.
Moreover, this city is near the border, so it’s likely that cell phone lines aren’t laid out.
So this ’don’t know precisely’ doesn’t seem like nonsense.
But that’s fine; the communication barriers also bring many conveniences.
It’s possible that ’San Hui’ is unaware and is happily playing in his territory.
"Do you know the phone numbers for those places?" Zhang Feng asked another question, "I’ll take you to a phone shortly, dial them one by one and see where he is."
Though calling directly might alert the other party.
Searching one place after another would still alert them.
Zhang Feng had thought clearly on the way here, once the other party gets suspicious, they will definitely assume the worst.
So now, it’s important to act quick, find and kill.
Finish off one then proceed to the next, eliminating the entire line thoroughly.
As for some elaborate method, like not killing in the office, merely subduing them, then calling Brother Lin’s group for more suits.
Then making them call to assure safety, collect some money to pay off debts to reassure the gang.
Afterward, dragging a bunch of them to a deep forest and killing them all, creating no trace and thus buying some time.
However, if anything goes wrong and gets discovered,
wasting half a day wouldn’t be as effective as eliminating them in one go.
Zhang Feng felt that this was the solution to an ’efficient hunt.’
Of course, this was the first time he encountered such a challenge, so he decided to proceed cautiously.
Trying to ensure no errors while testing this solution to see if it was effective.
...
He took Brother Lin to a small street in the alley district.
Zhang Feng took off his work uniform, wearing just an old-fashioned white vest, revealing a somewhat thin physique.
At a glance, he was no different from the old men playing chess by the roadside, only missing a small fan for cooling in his hand.
Only, it was early autumn, wearing only a vest was slightly chilly.
But this attire wasn’t unusual.
Zhang Feng glanced at this small street, the few old men playing chess under the distant tree, two of whom were dressed similarly.
One even held a fan, constantly fanning small breezes, seeming as if the chess game was heating up intensely.
After surveying the surroundings.
Ring—
Zhang Feng led Brother Lin past a few bicycles to a small shop.
"Make the call."
Zhang Feng told Brother Lin, "Ask where San Hui is."
"Okay..." Brother Lin picked up the phone.
"Hey hey hey!" The shopkeeper stopped shelling peanuts and objected: "Pay first, it’s twenty cents for local, eighty for long distance, one dollar deposit."
"They’re all local numbers..." Brother Lin responded while taking out a ten-dollar note from his pocket and handed it directly to the owner.
He dialed the first number.
It was a landline to a mahjong parlor that Brother Hui often visited.
