It turned out that Shao Wan had secretly gotten together with Li Jindi years ago.
However, at that time, Li Jindi wasn't doing as well as Chen Zhiming, so Shao Wan only dared to be with him secretly. Later, Li Jindi took photos of Shao Wanand threatened her to help him kill Chen Zhiming.
Three years ago, after she got Chen Zhiming drunk, she sent him out to buy things. Li Jindi had already arranged for people to wait at the entrance of the Lie Huo Game Arcade.
As soon as Chen Zhiming stepped out, he was hacked to death with knives.
Chen Zhiming was murdered by Shao Wan and Li Jindi working together.
"Shao Wan, my dad treated you pretty well back then, didn't he? Whatever you wanted, he bought for you. Most of the money he earned from the arcade was spent on you, right?"
Chen Jianghe's face was cold and expressionless as he wiped his dagger clean.
Shao Wan looked at the knife in Chen Jianghe's hand, her face pale with fear, trembling.
"Jianghe, I'm sorry for what I did to your dad. I know I was wrong. Please, I beg you, spare me this one time. I'll give you all the money Li Jindi has earned these past few years. Let me go, and I'll immediately return to my hometown and never come to Pengcheng again!"
Shao Wan pleaded desperately.
"A life for a life, a debt for a debt. That's an undeniable truth from ancient times to now. If I let you go, who will pay for my dad's life?" Chen Jianghesuddenly raised his hand and brought the knife down, plunging it into Shao Wan's neck.
Shao Wan's face was filled with terror. She opened her mouth wide, trying desperately to breathe, but air could no longer enter her lungs. Her lungs were quickly filled with blood that gushed in.
Shao Wan convulsed on the ground a few times before losing all signs of life.
"Jianghe!"
Zhang Peng subconsciously opened his mouth, then fell silent.
He hadn't expected Chen Jianghe to dispatch Shao Wan so cleanly, but then again, it was a father's murder. Could they just beat Shao Wan and Li Jindiand let them go?
"They're over there!"
Just then, the light from car headlights shone into the courtyard. A Changhe minivan stopped outside, and Li Jindi pulled open the car door, holding a machete, and rushed in with his thugs.
"Shao Wan!"
Seeing Shao Wan lying in a pool of blood, his face changed drastically, filled with shock and rage, "Chen Jianghe, you actually dared to kill someone?"
"Li Jindi, when you're out in the world, do you think I'm playing house with you?" Chen Jianghe turned around coldly, his gaze fierce as he stared at Li Jindi, "Not only will Shao Wan die today, but you will too!"
"You little bastard, I underestimated you, but do you two really think you can fight me?" Li Jindi laughed in extreme anger, saying savagely, "Chen Jianghe, today I'm taking your life!"
After speaking, Li Jindi waved his hand, and all nine thugs moved closer, also closing the dilapidated iron gate of the courtyard to prevent Chen Jianghe and Zhang Peng from escaping.
"Jianghe, let's fight them!"
Zhang Peng felt his heart race, his palms sweating, as he tightly gripped the broadsword in his hand, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Li Jindi.
Two against ten, both sides armed. Their chances of winning were slim.
However, if they could take out Li Jindi first, they might be able to scare off the others. When you're out in the world, if you're fierce, others are weak; if you're ruthless, others are afraid; if you're reckless, few people want to provoke you, and vice versa.
To make a name for yourself, you have to be fiercer, more ruthless, and more reckless than others.
"Li Jindi!"
Chen Jianghe suddenly roared.
"What, want to beg for mercy now? Too late!"
Li Jindi was startled, then sneered.
"You're overthinking it. I just wanted to tell you that tonight, you're dead!"
Chen Jianghe immediately put on his brass knuckles, staring intently at Li Jindi. He said this only to attract Li Jindi's attention. Startled by his shout, Li Jindi didn't notice that two thugs had already fallen behind him.
"Kid, still so stubborn even on the verge of death. Brothers, go get him! Kill him, and I'll give each of you three thousand yuan bonus!" Li Jindi raised his knife and roared, pointing at Chen Jianghe.
"Get him!"
Several thugs raised their knives and charged directly at Chen Jianghe.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
But Li Jindi suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly lunged forward. Then he felt a burning pain on his back, and warm blood gushed out. He had been directly slashed twice.
Li Jindi screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
"Zhang Qiang, are you two out of your minds?"
Li Jindi lay on the ground, his eyes wide with shock and rage, looking at the thugs who had slashed him. He had actually been attacked by his own men.
The other thugs were also somewhat at a loss, not understanding what was happening.
"Zhang Qiang, Zhou Bing, what are you doing?"
They were all Li Jindi's subordinates. Why would these two guys slash Li Jindi?
"Brother Li, don't blame us. You only gave us three thousand, but Gang Ge said if we take you out, he'd give us twenty thousand each!" Zhang Qiang said nonchalantly, holding his dripping knife.
They were out in the world for money and for face. No money, no face.
They weren't out in the world for loyalty.
If the boss didn't give money, then they'd take out the boss.
Besides, Li Jindi was disloyal and unjust first. Chen Gang worked for him and had an arm cut off, and Li Jindi only gave him five thousand yuan as a settlement, trying to dismiss Chen Gang.
If something happened to them in the future, and they risked their lives for Li Jindi, he'd only give them this meager amount for their lives, treating them like fools?
If Li Jindi wasn't righteous, then they shouldn't be blamed for betraying him.
"Chen Gang told you to do it? You bastards, I won't let you off!" Li Jindi was furious, not expecting to be betrayed by Chen Gang at such a critical moment.
When did Chen Gang start cooperating with that little bastard Chen Jianghe?
"Li Jindi, you deserved it! When a brother got into trouble, you wouldn't even give a settlement fee. You deserve to be finished!" At this moment, from behind the empty self-built house, Chen Gang, supported by his woman, walked out, staring at Li Jindi with hatred.
"Gang Ge?"
The other thugs were greatly surprised, not expecting that Zhang Qiang and Zhou Bing were indeed arranged by Chen Gang.
"Chen Gang, you dare to betray me!"
Li Jindi gritted his teeth, glaring furiously at Chen Gang.
"I lost an arm for you, and you only gave me five thousand yuan, treating me like a beggar? Today, I'm taking you out!"
Chen Gang said viciously.
"Chen Gang, that five thousand yuan was for your nutrition. I've already prepared one hundred thousand yuan for your settlement. You can have it whenever you want. If you take out Chen Jianghe for me today, come with me to get the money immediately!"
Li Jindi calmed down. Chen Jianghe, Zhang Peng, plus those two traitors, four against eight, it wasn't very safe. He had to stabilize Chen Gang first, kill Chen Jianghe, and then he could easily deal with Chen Gang.
"Li Jindi, save those lies for the King of Hell!"
Chen Gang sneered.
"Damn you, Chen Gang, do you think I'm afraid of you? All of you, go at them and finish them off! I'll reward each of you fifty thousand!" Li Jindi gritted his teeth and roared sharply.
The eyes of the thugs around him lit up, and even their breathing became heavy.
