Chapter 36: The Sign of Misfortune
Zhang Mingyuan and Shiao Mei were both lazy and indulgent.Neither of them wanted to work, but both wanted special treatment.After a few days, they began to feel resentment towards He Wang.Coincidentally, at this time, A Biao intended to deal with He Wang and approached them with an offer.They quickly struck a deal and formulated their plan for the night.To prove his loyalty to A Biao, Zhang Mingyuan even made up his mind to kill Yang Zhen, using it as a trap.Yang Zhen had kindly accepted Zhang Mingyuan into their group, but little did he know, he was bringing in a wolf—how tragic!
He Wang glared furiously at Zhang Mingyuan and Shiao Mei, his eyes almost spitting fire!These two ingrates had received his care, only to collude with A Biao to kill him!However, as angry as he was, the immediate concern was how to escape!A Biao seemed to have seen through He Wang's thoughts and sneered,"Brothers, be careful, don't let him escape!"With a wave of his hand, his subordinates swiftly lunged toward He Wang.
He Wang only had Da Hu and Xiao Hu with him, and Xiao Hu had already collapsed, unconscious and in a life-threatening state.With no weapons, He Wang quickly found himself at a disadvantage.Fortunately, since returning from the army, He Wang had not neglected his physical training.Thanks to his strong physique, he was able to withstand the attacks!
At that moment, one of A Biao's subordinates suddenly raised a weapon and viciously swung it toward Xiao Hu, who was lying on the ground.There was a dull "thud" as Xiao Hu remained motionless, but blood and flesh splattered everywhere!"Xiao Hu!"Da Hu's eyes were bloodshot with fury. In his anger, he single-handedly withstood the attacks of three or four people, slamming them all into the wall!No matter how much they beat him with their weapons, he remained immovable!
"Brother Wang, go!"He Wang was not a fool.Seeing that Da Hu had created some space for him, he cast one last reluctant glance at Da Hu and quickly fled.
The sudden change happened too quickly.By the time A Biao realized what was happening, He Wang had already vanished into the night."Dammit, what a bunch of useless fools! Seven or eight people couldn't even stop him from escaping!"A Biao cursed angrily.Looking at Da Hu, who was restrained by his subordinates, he was seething with rage and smashed a hammer down on Da Hu's head.Da Hu groaned before collapsing into unconsciousness.
"Take care of these two!""You guys, head back to the parking lot right away!""If He Wang returns, stop him at all costs!"A Biao ordered in a harsh tone."Yes, Boss!"
Following A Biao's orders, several subordinates quickly got to work."Boss, Boss, did I perform well tonight?"Zhang Mingyuan ran over excitedly, his face full of flattery as he looked at A Biao."You did well. Don't worry, I'll take care of you two from now on!"Hearing A Biao's words, Zhang Mingyuan's eyes lit up with joy.Shiao Mei, on the other hand, was so pleased that she almost wanted to climb into A Biao's arms."Boss, you're so kind! I'll rely on you from now on!""As long as you listen to me, there's no problem!"
Whether it was because he could feel Shiao Mei's soft body pressing against him, or the hot weather, A Biao suddenly became dry-mouthed.If the timing were right, he would have taken advantage of the situation and had his way with Shiao Mei right then and there!"Boss, you must help me teach Su Chen a lesson!"At the mention of Su Chen, Shiao Mei's face twisted with anger, and her voice was filled with hatred!That night, she had shown her most despicable side to try and seduce Su Chen.But Su Chen not only saw through her, he humiliated her badly—how could she not hate him?Though Shiao Mei had dark motives, putting aside the facts, wasn't Su Chen at fault?She lowered her dignity and sold her body to join A Biao, not just to cling to his power but also to take revenge on Su Chen!
"As soon as the opportunity arises, I'll make him pay!"A Biao's eyes flashed with murderous intent!His subordinate Zhang Hang had died because of Su Chen.If it weren't for the difficulty of breaching the Nomadison, he would have dealt with Su Chen a long time ago.
A short while later, several subordinates reported that He Wang had not returned to the underground parking lot."Really?"A Biao stroked his chin, his expression puzzled.With such hot weather, the underground parking lot would be the only slightly cooler place.If He Wang didn't return, where else could he go?
"Don't worry, Boss. He Wang's been seriously injured.""Even if he doesn't die, without food or medicine, how long do you think he can last?""By tomorrow morning, the sun will come up, and he'll be dead for sure."Zhang Mingyuan chuckled with a smile.A Biao thought there was some truth to what he said and nodded,"Alright, let's go back."
The group left the alley and made their way back to the parking lot.Only a few pools of blood on the ground testified to the events that had taken place.
The disappearance of He Wang, Da Hu, and Xiao Hu did not immediately cause a stir.After all, the scavengers who returned from their mission were exhausted and needed rest.It wasn't until the next morning that the survivors realized something was wrong when He Wang was still missing."Where's Brother Wang?""Don't know. He wasn't here when we came back last night.""Right, I heard it was that girl, Shiao Mei, who said someone was in danger and called Brother Wang out."
Once the survivors realized what had happened, they immediately began searching for Shiao Mei.But to their surprise, they couldn't find her anywhere in the camp.
"Are you guys looking for He Wang? Don't bother, he's probably dead by now!"At that moment, a delicate voice rang out.The group turned to see Shiao Mei walking toward them from a distance.But what shocked them was that she was now leaning against A Biao's side, a mocking smile on her face!
"Is it… is it you who conspired with A Biao to kill Brother Wang?"Some of the quicker survivors instantly realized the truth."What do you mean, conspired with Boss Biao? It was He Wang who didn't know his place and brought this on himself!"Shiao Mei sneered,"Only with Boss Biao's protection can we survive.""Anyone who dares to oppose Boss Biao is signing their own death sentence!"
Hearing her words, the survivors were instantly furious."You ungrateful traitor! Brother Wang took care of you, and you sold him out!""You'll never have a good end!"
Though the survivors were angry, they dared not act against A Biao and his men.Without He Wang leading them, and faced with the brutal and tough A Biao and his crew, they could only curse but not act.
"Useless!"A Biao shot them a disdainful glance, then turned and walked away with Shiao Mei in his arms.
"Boss, why should we let them go?"Shiao Mei, still seething from the insults, was itching to see A Biao deal with the survivors.
