234: Chapter 230: Brother Hao Was Bullied to Tears!
Bai Xiaohang was, after all, a madman.
If Chen Hai hadn’t stepped in to take him under his wing,
The future Bai Xiaohang would have gone after a certain big shot of Xiangjiang all by himself, pursuing him for thousands of miles from the Capital City.
In front of Zhang Zihao and his crew, who were well-known tough gangsters from Xiangjiang, Bai Xiaohang obviously didn’t take them seriously.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have turned a robbery into something that seemed more like horseplay!
Of course, he dared to do this because Tian Mingjian was there to back him up in front.
After getting a handgun from a former comrade-in-arms, Tian Mingjian had specially found a secluded place to fine-tune his shooting skills.
Watching this scene, Bai Xiaohang deeply realized what it meant to hit wherever you aimed, never missing a shot!
He tossed four or five bottle caps the size of coins into the air, and as Tian Mingjian casually fired a few shots, every one of the caps was pierced directly by the bullets.
Such marksmanship could truly be described as supernaturally precise.
Bai Xiaohang regarded Tian Mingjian with awe.
With such a formidable guy backing him up, what was there to worry about?
To speak frankly, driving a clunker of a van to Hougang Pier and waving over Zhang Zihao and his men to get into the van was merely a preliminary test by Bai Xiaohang and Tian Mingjian, and they hadn’t considered how likely it was to succeed!
When Zhang Zihao and his men left the port, their intended route had already been fully disclosed to them by their boss, Chen Hai.
According to their original plan, they were ready to ambush Zhang Zihao and his party at a rather quiet intersection.
The main reason for driving this junk van to Outer Port Pier was to make sure that Zhang Zihao and his men had indeed arrived at Hao River!
But who knew, after seeing Zhang Zihao and his companions, Bai Xiaohang, in a fit of madness, gestured to them with a wave, and unexpectedly, these guys actually got into his van!
“Robbery, you…” Seeing Bai Xiaohang’s demeanor, which hardly seemed like a joke, Feng and his companion both changed their expressions instantly.
With a ‘whoosh’, Feng, the quickest to react, immediately stood up from his seat, ready to pounce on Bai Xiaohang.
But his body had only half risen when a heavy hand was already placed on his shoulder.
Then, with several ‘smack’ sounds, the brick in Bai Xiaohang’s other hand had already mercilessly hit Feng’s forehead.
Bleeding profusely, blood continuously flowing from Feng’s forehead, he finally couldn’t hold on any longer and collapsed back onto the seat below him.
Sitting next to Feng, Han was slightly slower to react.
Standing up from his seat, one of his hands reached for Bai Xiaohang’s neck while the other tried to grab the hand holding the brick.
Unfortunately, Bai Xiaohang, who had just knocked Feng unconscious with a few bricks, twisted his waist and swung his arm heavily.
With a ‘thud’, Han was flung away, hitting his head against the van window, failing to stand firmly and collapsing onto the floor.
Struggling to lift himself, he tried to get up.
But Bai Xiaohang, whose hands were now free, wouldn’t let him do as he wished.
With several more hits of the brick, Han also followed Feng’s fate, sinking into unconsciousness.
At the same moment Han went down, Tian Mingjian, serving as the makeshift driver, was speeding along the road in that broken van.
One hand on the steering wheel, he held a small handgun in his other hand and casually tossed it backward.
With the sound of a gunshot, “Bang,” Zhang Zihao screamed in pain, blood streaming from his right hand, unable to hold onto the handgun he’d just drawn, which fell to the floor.
Carrying eight million with him to Hao River, he was naturally not without his defenses.
To be cautious, Zhang Zihao always carried a weapon on him.
Previously, he had sat with his eyes half-closed, hummed an unknown tune.
But, at the first sign of violence from Bai Xiaohang, he had already reacted.
For someone like Zhang Zihao, who got by on his wits, faced with trouble, he wouldn’t stupidly rush at Bai Xiaohang with an unused gun in hand!
Unfortunately for him, Tian Mingjian, who was driving, had most of his attention focused on the rear of the van.
When he saw through the rearview mirror that Zhang Zihao was drawing a gun, he didn’t even look back before firing.
“Yo, Brother Hao, quite bold, aren’t you?”
“Taking out a gun, what for?
Planning to shoot me?” Having knocked Feng and Han unconscious, Bai Xiaohang’s gaze had also fallen upon Zhang Zihao.
With a somewhat ferocious look, bent over, he walked step by step to Zhang Zihao and with a deft kick, sent the handgun on the floor sliding under a seat.
Zhang Zihao’s right hand was still dripping with blood.
Though his left hand was uninjured and could still fire a gun,
Knowing that the van’s driver was obviously a sharpshooter, he had given up any thought of further resistance.
Judging from the shot that guy just fired, these two people merely wanted money and likely harbored no intent to kill any of them.
Otherwise, by now, he, Zhang Zihao, would probably have already been a dead man!
If the other party could shoot his palm and knock the pistol right out of his hand, then they absolutely had the ability to shoot him in the head!
Zhang Zihao had no doubt about that.
“Brothers, when you’re out here in the world, you’re after nothing more than money.”
“Wanting money is simple, those two suitcases, they contain eight million!”
“Take the money, consider it as Zhang paying for a friendship with you guys!”
When it came to courage, Zhang Zihao was definitely not lacking.
His palm was pierced, still gushing fresh blood, but he acted as if it were nothing.
Looking straight at Bai Xiaohang, he even managed a faint smile, then gestured towards the two suitcases a few steps away, waving his hand generously as he spoke to Bai Xiaohang.
“You’re just a thug, do you really think you’re someone important?”
“Being friends with us, do you think you’re worthy?”
“Don’t think I’m looking down on you, but you guys only strut around here in Xiangjiang and Hao River!”
“If it were in our country, with the stuff you do, not one of you would escape — all taken for target practice!”
A heavy slap struck Zhang Zihao, and Bai Xiaohang wore an expression of complete disdain.
He chuckled oddly a few times, then said, “I’m considering right now whether I should silence you and kill you all off.”
“Just now, at the pier, the moment you guys got into the car, I forgot to unwrap and pull the pantyhose over my head.”
“You definitely saw what I look like, right?”
Grinning, the bloody brick in Bai Xiaohang’s hands was flipping and rolling.
With his fierce and belligerent appearance, no one would doubt whether the brick in Bai Xiaohang’s hand would hit their heads in the next moment!
The smile still lingering on his face, Zhang Zihao, who seemed composed, was stunned by Bai Xiaohang’s few words!
At the moment they got into the car, he had even thought about recruiting this guy to work for him, didn’t he?
Was it possible that he hadn’t seen his face clearly?
Besides, with his towering stature, standing in a crowd was like a firefly in the darkness, so conspicuous!
Even if he couldn’t see his face, just his size alone would be enough to roughly identify him.
The facts were already right before his eyes, so what did it matter if he had seen his face?
All sorts of thoughts raced through his mind, and Zhang Zihao, who considered himself brainy, found himself at a loss for words at Bai Xiaohang’s question and didn’t know what to say!
“By the way, Brother Hao, I’ve just given you a few slaps, be honest with me, do you hate me?
Have you thought about revenge?”
Tilting his head, Bai Xiaohang spoke again.
Seeing Zhang Zihao remain silent, Bai Xiaohang raised his hand and slapped his face a few more times: “I’m talking to you, and you ignore me?
You looking down on me?”
Several clear handprints were left on Zhang Zihao’s face, and he could no longer maintain his composure.
If one were to speak frankly, although he was a thug, he actually liked reasoning with people.
But the big guy in front of him seemed a bit neurotic; if you spoke to him about reason, he’d answer with his fists.
If you talked about fists?
He’d just slap you without warning!
“When you’re involved in this life, you have to accept your bad luck.
If you get hit, stand straight.
Being robbed by you guys is just our misfortune, what’s there to hate!”
Originally intending to resist more, upon seeing Bai Xiaohang’s hand rising again, Zhang Zihao quickly started talking, responding.
No sooner had he spoken than Bai Xiaohang’s slap fell on his face again.
While bashing Zhang Zihao, he also bellowed: “That look in your eye, you look like you want to eat people, say you don’t hate me?
You think Bai is an idiot…”
“Alright, Brother Bai, I do hold a bit of a grudge in my heart…” His lips nearly bleeding, Zhang Zihao hurriedly continued.
“A bunch of weaklings, Brother Bai hitting you is honoring you, and you still dare hold a grudge?”
“If I don’t let you experience what it’s like to be under the people’s dictatorship, you won’t know true fear!”
“Remember, in front of Brother Bai, be honest.
If I tell you to stand, don’t you dare lie down…”
Zhang Zihao was so aggrieved, he wanted to burst into tears, but Bai Xiaohang was still thoroughly entertained.
Perhaps, playing with the notorious thug of Xiangjiang like this gave him an indescribable sense of achievement.
“Alright, Bai, stop messing around!”
“There’s a road up ahead with no one around, just throw these guys out of the car there!” Tian Mingjian, who was driving in front, was already somewhat unable to watch, and he said with a laugh.
“Teasing this guy has really refreshed me!”
“Find a spot to pull over, and I’ll throw these guys out!”
Still grinning, Bai Xiaohang chuckled.
