Chapter 384

Chapter 384 Ultimate Combat Power!

With hundreds of guns pointed at him, Su Rui was still talking about these things, and Wanyan Zhengyong almost felt like laughing it off as a cold joke.

Human nature — what even is that?

All of history is written by the victors! No matter how bloody or dirty the path to power was, the winner is still the winner!

In the face of overwhelming strength, words are always the most useless thing — beyond buying a little extra time, they accomplish nothing else.

Two people surrounded in the middle by over a hundred men — who had the upper hand was plain to see at a glance.

“What’s the point of saying any of this now?” Wanyan Zhengyong raised his hand and made a slow downward pressing motion.

Every handgun’s safety was released at once!

Lin Aoxue grabbed Su Rui and said, “I’m not leaving. No matter what, I won’t leave.”

Su Rui patted her on the back again and said, “As long as I’m here, I won’t let anything happen to you.”

“Mm, I believe you.” Lin Aoxue looked into Su Rui’s eyes and said it with complete sincerity — not a single trace of doubt in that earnest gaze!

Su Rui raised his head and looked up at Wanyan Zhengyong standing on the steps, saying coldly, “Gang Leader Wanyan, I never wanted to make an enemy of you, but you refused to let my woman leave — and that has left me utterly disappointed in you!”

“I’ve disappointed far too many people before. But if they weren’t disappointed, then I would be.” Wanyan Zhengyong said indifferently. Whether Su Rui was disappointed in him or not didn’t matter — as long as this man posed a threat to Yuanwei Gang’s century-long plan, he had to be eliminated. Since the decision to kill had already been made, there was no reason to drag things out any further!

Tian Bingyi turned his face and exchanged a glance with Wanyan Zhengyong, and the two of them nodded in unison without a word.

Perhaps, once the young man before them was dead, no one in the Qinglong Gang would be able to stop Yuanwei Gang’s southward advance, and the entire underground world of Ninghai would be absorbed into Yuanwei Gang’s territory!

With a foothold established in Ninghai, ten years from now, Yuanwei Gang would become the largest gang in China’s underground world!

By then, even the Yamamoto Group from the East would fall short! The entire Eastern underground would tremble beneath Yuanwei Gang’s feet!

This was Wanyan Zhengyong’s ambition! He believed that within his lifetime, he would absolutely live to see that day for Yuanwei Gang!

Yuanwei Gang would ultimately, under his leadership, shake the far reaches of the world!

After so many years of careful preparation, he would never allow a wildcard like Su Rui to stand in his way!

…………

At this moment, the Ninghai City Bureau.

Luo Feiliang was sitting at his desk. Across from him sat Qian Wanxing and Shangguan Mo, both of them constantly checking their watches, legs bouncing up and down, looking thoroughly impatient.

Luo Feiliang’s brow was equally furrowed.

For the head of this serious crimes unit under national security, that kind of expression was something that rarely appeared on his face!

“Hey, chief, are we going to make a move or not? It’s already been half an hour since we got Lin Aoxue’s text.” Shangguan Mo’s fingers kept tapping on the desk — he had been waiting this long, yet Luo Feiliang still hadn’t said a word.

Lin Aoxue’s text!

Yes — Lin Aoxue had used Su Rui’s phone to send Luo Feiliang a message!

The moment Su Rui and Lin Aoxue first locked eyes, Lin Aoxue had read his meaning from his gaze!

At that critical moment, the eldest daughter of the Lin family was perfectly in sync with Su Rui — the instant she understood what his eyes were saying, she immediately wrapped both arms around his waist!

In that moment, her hands had already slipped his phone out of the side pocket of his pants, while Su Rui quietly whispered a single name in her ear: “Luo Feiliang.”

Lin Aoxue appeared to be clinging tightly to Su Rui, but she was opening the contacts at top speed, and the moment she found Luo Feiliang’s name, she sent him a text!

The message read — Meixin Cinema, help!

Su Rui hadn’t told Lin Aoxue what to write, but given her ability to read a situation, that was hardly a challenge at all.

At that time, Luo Feiliang had been in the office playing cards with Shangguan Mo and Qian Wanxing, and when the text came in, he was stunned.

Could anything that had Su Rui himself calling for help be a small matter?

Almost instantly, Luo Feiliang made the decision to go to his aid!

But just as he was about to head out, he received a phone call!

It was that call that stopped him dead in his tracks — leaving him sitting at his desk, hesitating, his face a tangle of conflicting emotions, not making a single move right up until now!

“Chief, if we don’t go soon, things could get pretty bad.” Qian Wanxing urged as well, “The longer this drags on, the worse it is for Su Rui.”

Shangguan Mo said coldly, “I’m telling you, chief — if you’re not going, I’ll go myself.”

Luo Feiliang growled, “You go? Do you have any idea what Su Rui is capable of? He’s someone even the five great families couldn’t stop — and you think he needs you to save him? If he can’t handle it, what makes you think you showing up would make any difference?”

“Uh…” Watching the chief blow up, Shangguan Mo was left speechless — though what Luo Feiliang said was the plain truth. If it was something even Su Rui couldn’t handle, Shangguan Mo showing up would be completely pointless.

“Don’t you think I know that the longer this goes on the worse it gets? Don’t you think I want to go help?” Luo Feiliang slammed the desk in frustration, then grabbed the folder beside him and hurled it to the floor!

Qian Wanxing and Shangguan Mo were both nearly stunned — they had almost never seen their chief in such an agitated state!

Never before!

This meant that the head of the serious crimes unit, a man known for his composure, was anything but calm inside right now. It was completely at odds with his usual still-water demeanor!

What was going on?

Shangguan Mo looked at the visibly distressed Luo Feiliang, a sharp glint appearing in his eyes, “Chief, what exactly is going on? That call you just got — who was it from?”

Luo Feiliang shook his head, staring hard at the desk, saying nothing.

“Something feels off to me.” Qian Wanxing turned to look at Shangguan Mo and said, “The chief isn’t acting like himself today.”

Shangguan Mo said helplessly, “I noticed too. What do we do?”

“I don’t know either — the chief won’t let us leave. Do you have a better idea?” Qian Wanxing said.

“What idea could I possibly have? That guy isn’t even afraid of the five great families — why would he need our help? I also think something’s a bit off about this whole thing.”

The two of them sat there chatting back and forth like that, not noticing that Luo Feiliang’s lips had already been bitten raw by his own teeth!

…………

“I still have something to say.” Su Rui said.

“But I’m no longer interested in hearing it.” Wanyan Zhengyong raised his hand — the moment his arm came down, a hundred guns would fire at once!

“Wanyan Zhengyong, I said you were arrogant, and you really are arrogant!”

There wasn’t a single trace of fear in Su Rui’s eyes. He looked at Wanyan Zhengyong and said, “If you’re willing to have everyone hand over their guns, then everything that happened today — I can let it go.”

“Everyone hands over their guns? And you’ll let it go?”

Even knowing full well what kind of person Su Rui was, both Wanyan Zhengyong and Tian Bingyi couldn’t help but wonder if there was something wrong with their ears!

Right now, over a hundred people were pointing guns at one man! Could someone please figure out who actually had the upper hand here?

What Su Rui just said was exactly what a victor says to the defeated. It seemed completely out of place given the situation!

He was one man, bare-handed — what right did he have to demand that over a hundred armed men surrender?

Wanyan Zhengyong sneered, “Su Rui, do you know what you’re saying?”

“Of course I do. Do you think I’ve lost my mind?” Su Rui said with a cold laugh, “Wanyan Zhengyong, I’m giving you a chance — don’t waste it!”

Su Rui’s words carried an immense, bone-deep confidence — the kind that came from somewhere deep within — and even Tian Bingyi began to hesitate!

What gave him that kind of confidence?

Wanyan Zhengyong considered himself to have victory firmly in hand, so he had no worries whatsoever, “Su Rui, no matter what you say today, you’re dead either way.”

Wanyan Zhengyong’s patience had been completely exhausted. He was already prepared to see Su Rui’s body riddled with holes!

No one could stop Yuanwei Gang’s southward advance! Anyone who tried would die!

“Is that so?”

Su Rui’s eyes suddenly narrowed, a razor-thin gleam radiating outward from his gaze!

“Then let me show you whether I mean what I say!”

The moment Su Rui’s words fell, the large screen behind him — which had been playing a horror film — suddenly erupted with a sharp, tearing sound!

In an instant, the massive screen was ripped open from the middle — twelve slashes, clean through!

Twelve fierce figures leapt through those twelve openings and landed in unison in front of the screen!

These twelve people were a mix of men and women, every one of them wearing a mask, every one of them holding a weapon!

Wanyan Zhengyong had spent so many years in the underground world and considered himself something of a military enthusiast — he knew firearms well. So when his eyes landed on the weapons in the hands of those twelve people, his entire body went rigid!

In that moment, Wanyan Zhengyong could barely trust his own eyes!

In the hands of those twelve people were HK-M27 automatic rifles equipped by the United States Marine Corps! AK-47s that had proven their devastating power on Middle Eastern battlefields! M249 squad automatic weapons, known as the most sustained firepower in the US Army! And the most brutal and lethal Barrett anti-materiel sniper rifles!

There was even one towering, powerfully built figure with a twelve-barrel Gatling M134 minigun resting on his shoulder!

Compared to the ultimate firepower these people carried, Yuanwei Gang’s ordinary Type 54 and Type 64 handguns looked utterly pathetic — completely outclassed!

Set against each other, it was like hunting muskets facing aircraft and artillery!

This sudden turn of events brought the entire scene to an instant standstill! The sheer force of those twelve people was overwhelming — everyone in the screening hall felt as though the air had grown thin!

Su Rui didn’t turn around. From the look of stunned disbelief on Wanyan Zhengyong’s face, he already knew everything.

Taking a step forward, Su Rui extended one hand to his side, then lightly tapped his own chest, and said calmly, “I think it’s time we got properly acquainted. Let me introduce myself first.”

He paused, then continued, “In the dark world of the West, I also go by an English name.”
