Chapter 2331: 2332: Deterrence!
Chapter 2331: Chapter 2332: Deterrence!
The other people around the table all had smiles at the corners of their mouths.
Wang Tao, with a toothpick in his mouth, said:
“The Liang family is now out of the game; they can only swallow this loss in silence. They no longer have the guts to mention that 3 billion.”
Pan Hongsheng nodded slightly, then glanced at his watch and said indifferently:
“So, there’s no need to rush; these young punks just want to show off their uniqueness in such a way.”
“We can’t just sit around waiting forever, though,” Ma Cong said.
“I’ll give him another half an hour. If he doesn’t show up, then we need to have a serious talk with them.”
“What if he does?”
“Heh heh…”
Pan Hongsheng sneered, “If he comes, we’ll settle both new and old accounts together.”
As if a decision had brought some relief, the atmosphere at the table eased a bit.
And at just that moment, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Lin Yi and three others walked in.
Seeing the four of them, the atmosphere in the room froze instantly.
Pan Hongsheng and the others’ gazes all fell on them.
“Are you the one who stabbed my son three times?”
“Yes, that was me.”
Lin Yi said with a smile, then pointed at the people present.
“We’re here today to talk about that 3 billion, which is a private matter between us. What’s with bringing so many people along? Your son’s a coward, so are you as well? Need a crowd to embolden you?”
“You motherf*cker!”
“Hold on.”
Ma Cong couldn’t hold back and cursed at Lin Yi, but was stopped by Pan Hongsheng, who instead said with a smile,
“You really are a force to be reckoned with. When I was your age, I wasn’t nearly as audacious as you.”
“Speaking of which, it reminds me of my younger days. In our Jinyang, there was someone your age. Not only did he look similar, but he was also about the same age,” Wang Tao said,
“That kid, not knowing what was good for him, offended a Jinyang big brother. He got both his hands chopped off and his Achilles tendon cut. What a pity, he used to be so arrogant, wanting to stir up the sky. Half a year passed, and now he’s begging at the marketplace. Life can be so cheap.”
“Look at that, seems like I did something wrong,” Lin Yi smacked his lips and said,
“Coming empty-handed at our first meeting, really impolite of me. If I’d known, I’d have brought some bowls along, so you could join in and not be so lonely.”
“Ha…”
Pan Hongsheng sneered, “You sure have a smooth tongue, but we still need to resolve matters. Now that everyone is here, please take a seat.”
“Well, I’ll take the seat with respect.”
The four of them brazenly took their seats, and Lin Yi began,
“We’re here today not to eat, but to talk about that 3 billion. When do you plan to transfer the money?”
“How can we talk about money as soon as you arrive? We should have some food, drink a few glasses, and then talk at our leisure.”
“You old jerk, at least you’re more civilized than your son, knowing to have a few drinks to ease the mood, not living all these years in vain.”
Pan Hongsheng’s expression paused for a moment, “Young man, being too arrogant isn’t always a good thing. This is Jinyang, where you can kill a person without paying with your life.”
“Trying to scare me?”
“Whether I’m scaring you or not, you’ll find out soon enough.”
Pan Hongsheng gave Wang Tao a look, and the latter understood, stood up, walked behind Lin Yi with a grin, and from behind his waist, he drew a gun, pointed it at Lin Yi’s head, and said with a smile:
“Kid, do you think my gun is loaded with bullets?”
Seeing what Wang Tao pulled out, the three from the Qin family were stunned.
They thought Pan Hongsheng would call for a bunch of people to help, which Lin Yi could handle with ease.
But unexpectedly, he actually drew a gun.
The other people in the room all revealed smiles on their faces.
These youngsters, if you don’t teach them a lesson, they really don’t understand how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!
“I guess it is loaded.” Lin Yi said indifferently while sitting on a chair.
“Ha ha…”
Wang Tao burst into laughter, “You’re not stupid. Just sit there obediently, otherwise, you won’t be able to leave here alive.”
Slap—
Pan Hongsheng casually lit a cigarette and stood up from his chair.
Standing next to Lin Yi, he poked his head with his finger.
“Not so cocky anymore? Weren’t you demanding money from me, why are you quiet now?”
This scene made the hearts of the Qin family trio skip a beat.
Lin Yi was notoriously bad-tempered.
Daring to poke his head with a finger, it was really uncertain what would happen to these people.
But Lin Yi merely smiled and didn’t say anything. Nobody could tell what he was actually thinking.
However, one could anticipate that a storm capable of sweeping everyone away was quietly approaching.
Pan Hongsheng didn’t press further but took a dagger from the drawer at the door and lightly tapped Lin Yi’s face with it several times.
“Yesterday you stabbed my son thrice. Let’s settle the score today. If you can still stand up afterward, we can talk about that 3 billion deal.”
“The two of you really have guts, one pointing a gun at my head, and the other tapping my face with a knife. It seems like you’re used to being tyrants in Jinyang, thinking you’re the lords of this realm.”
“Of course, in Jinyang, I, Pan Hongsheng, am the sky. Each and every one of you young pups, you all think you’ve made it, that you can replace us. But let me tell you, it’s not that time yet. I can’t speak for other places, but in Jinyang, just one word from me and no one dares to jump.”
After finishing speaking, Pan Hongsheng picked up the liquor from the table, pouring a full glass, at least half a bottle’s worth.
“Come on, drink up and show me your guts,” Pan Hongsheng said. “But if you don’t, I can’t guarantee where this knife will end up.”
The gazes of the Qin family trio all fell on Lin Yi, waiting for him to signal.
Because of irresistible factors, The Liang family was lagging a bit behind, but the Qin family and the Gao family were definitely not weaker than Pan Hongsheng.
But Lin Yi made no extra movement, casually playing with the glass in his hand.
“What’s the matter? Can’t drink it?” Pan Hongsheng said. “Is this all Zhonghai people amount to?”
“No matter what, this is the first drink, I’ll toast to you guys.”
“A toast to us?”
Lin Yi’s brows suddenly knitted, he tilted his glass backward, splashing all the liquor onto Wang Teng’s face.
“Fuck!”
Caught off guard and splashed with liquor, Wang Teng was about to make a move on Lin Yi when suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his wrist, unbearable.
Ah—
A scream echoed; Wang Teng’s hand loosened, and the gun fell into Lin Yi’s hands.
Bang bang!
Two shots fired in succession, the bullets whistled out, hitting both of Wang Tao’s legs, and he immediately fell to the ground!
Like a dog that has lost its home!
