Chapter 17 - You’ll pay for what you did

Two to three hundred thousand, plus that santana, this was a huge sum, and Chen Gang was tempted.

"Li Jindi, you're really going downhill. It's come to this, and you still think you can leave Pengcheng alive? If you live, my dad will have died in vain!"

Chen Jianghe sneered, looking down at Li Jindi.

As their cold gazes met, Li Jindi felt a chill in his heart and shivered.

Chen Jianghe had already killed Shao Wan, so it was clear he wouldn't let him leave alive tonight.

"Gang Zi, we're brothers. Please put in a good word for me, spare my life. That van outside, my gold watch, they're all yours!"

To save his life, Li Jindi quickly pleaded with Chen Gang again.

"Jianghe, it's better to resolve animosity than to deepen it. Your dad is already dead, and the dead cannot be brought back to life. From my perspective, Li Jindi is finished. Why not just cripple his hands and feet and let him live? Murder is a serious crime after all; killing one might get you life imprisonment, but killing two will definitely get you a bullet!"

Chen Gang looked at Chen Jianghe and said.

"Who said I'm going to kill two?"

Chen Jianghe suddenly smiled coldly.

"So you agree?"

Chen Gang smiled; as long as Li Jindi was alive, he could definitely extort more money from him.

Li Jindi also involuntarily smiled. As long as he could live, he didn't care what the cost was; only by living was there hope.

"Chen Gang, we did this together tonight. If something goes wrong, I can't escape, and neither can you!" Chen Jianghe picked up the knife from the ground and threw it in front of Chen Gang, "You stab him once, and I'll give you the hundred thousand I promised. Otherwise, tonight's matter will be a bit troublesome!"

"What do you mean?"

Chen Gang's face changed, and he took a step back. He didn't want to kill someone with his own hands.

Hacking someone was fine; even if it was investigated, at most, he'd be locked up for a few years in a hard labor camp. But killing was different.

Among those in the underworld, fighting and killing was normal, but actual murder was less common.

Unless absolutely necessary, even big bosses in the underworld were unwilling to do that.

Killing someone and crippling someone were two entirely different things.

"If he doesn't stab him, you two stab him. If you stab Li Jindi, you share Chen Gang's hundred thousand!" Chen Jianghe looked directly at Zhang Qiang and Zhou Bing, the two thugs Chen Gang had bribed.

Zhang Qiang and Zhou Bing exchanged glances, clearly tempted.

Dividing a hundred thousand yuan would allow them to return home in glory; there weren't many 'ten-thousand-yuan households' in their hometown right now.

"Brother Li, I'm sorry!"

"Brothers, send him on his way!"

Chen Gang quickly picked up the knife and, without hesitation, stabbed Li Jindi.

"Ah, Chen Gang, you bastard!"

Li Jindi screamed and struggled desperately.

"You stab him once too!"

After stabbing once, Chen Gang handed the knife to his woman. His woman was also ruthless; she bit her lip and stabbed him.

Chen Gang knew that if he didn't stab him tonight, that knife would be used on him. Although Chen Jianghe was young, he was meticulous and ruthless.

Only by all taking part could this secret forever rot in everyone's hearts.

"It's your turn now!"

Chen Jianghe stared at Zhang Qiang and Zhou Bing.

Zhang Qiang and Zhou Bing didn't hesitate; they came over and each stabbed Li Jindi once.

After several stabs, Li Jindi was already on his last breath, without even the strength to curse.

He stared wide-eyed at Chen Jianghe, filled with regret. He shouldn't have underestimated this kid. The day Chen Jianghe went to the arcade to find him, he should have nipped the problem in the bud.

"And you guys too, give Li Jindi a send-off!"

Chen Jianghe didn't spare the remaining thugs under Li Jindi; he made them all come over and stab Li Jindionce. In the end, Li Jindi also died under a flurry of knives, just like Chen Zhiming three years ago.

When you get involved in the underworld, you have to pay the price.

"Zhang Peng, you keep an eye on things here. Zhang Qiang, Zhou Bing, listen to Zhang Peng, wait here for the money. No one is allowed to leave before I return!"

Once he confirmed Li Jindi was dead, Chen Jianghebegan to search his body for keys and make arrangements, "Chen Gang, you come with me to get the money!"

"Where are we getting the money?"

Chen Gang looked at the two corpses on the ground, a chill running through him. This kid, Chen Jianghe, was someone who could do big things.

"Donghu Jiayuan!"

Li Jindi's house was in Donghu Jiayuan. This guy had taken over the arcade for three years and had already bought a house and a car.

Chen Jianghe drove the van, taking Chen Gang and his woman to Donghu Jiayuan. They found Li Jindi's house and, after searching for a while, found a secret compartment in the wardrobe. Inside the compartment were several gold bars and stacks of hundred-yuan bills, totaling three to four hundred thousand.

Chen Gang and his woman showed a hint of greed in their eyes when they saw the money.

"This is yours!"

Chen Jianghe took out ten stacks of hundred-yuan bills from inside and threw them to Chen Gang. "You can go now!"

Chen Gang's woman, hugging the money, couldn't help but look at the remaining money and gold bars in the secret compartment, a hint of unwillingness on her face. However, just as she was about to speak, Chen Gang pulled her away.

The two found a bag to put the money in and left in a hurry.

"Why did that kid get all the money Li Jindi left behind? He took the arcade, and he took the money and the car. Why?" the woman said unwillingly.

Although a hundred thousand yuan was a lot, it was nothing compared to a house, a car, and gold bars.

"Enough, stop talking nonsense. You get as much money as you have ability. It's already good that he kept his word and gave us a hundred thousand!" Chen Gang said impatiently.

Although he also wanted more money, he knew his place.

He wasn't worth a hundred thousand now; this hundred thousand was more than enough for him. Chen Jianghe keeping his word was already generous.

"How could he have gotten rid of Li Jindi without you!"

The woman said discontentedly.

"If he can get rid of Li Jindi, he can get rid of us. If you want to die, don't drag me down!"

Chen Gang said coldly.

The woman lowered her head, staring intently at the money in the bag. Chen Gang was crippled, and his ambitions were gone. She was used to living lavishly and didn't want to go back to her hometown with Chen Gang to suffer poverty.

Chen Dabao took out a portion of the money from the secret compartment and hid the remaining money and gold bars elsewhere, then drove the van back.

"Zhang Qiang, Zhou Bing, this is yours. Twenty thousand each, take the money and leave!"

As soon as Chen Jianghe returned, he first distributed the money to Zhang Qiang and Zhou Bing. Chen Gang had previously promised them twenty thousand each if they got rid of Li Jindi.

Chen Jianghe also agreed, and he kept his word.

"Thank you, Brother Chen!"

Zhang Qiang and Zhou Bing took the money and walked to the entrance of the courtyard, then stopped and suddenly said, "Brother Chen, you still need people to guard the arcade. We want to work for you!"

"Jianghe...!"

Zhang Peng's face changed, and he was about to speak, but Chen Jianghe stopped him with a wave of his hand.

"Go back and think it over. If you've thought it through and truly want to work for me, come find me at the arcade tomorrow. But if you work for me, you have to listen to me, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Chen Jianghe said indifferently.
