Chapter 345: The Furious Easterners

The next day’s arena matches, Su Rui didn’t even need to make a move.

Due to his stunning performance last night, Su Rui’s reputation had completely spread throughout the gangs. Anyone who drew him as an opponent would immediately forfeit without hesitation upon seeing Su Rui’s face!

Are you kidding? No matter how precious that honor is, can it compare to one’s life? This guy could kill Eastern martial artists without batting an eye! Who would be so blind as to go up and court death?

Thus, Su Rui also created a piece of gang competition history – four consecutive matches where opponents forfeited!

And the most miserable was none other than the Hero Society. Those ten dead Eastern martial artists naturally couldn’t compete, and the judging panel counted them as automatic forfeits. Most critically, aside from these ten people, the Hero Society actually had no one who could continue to advance!

Therefore, they also created a record – the first large gang to be completely eliminated!

As if knowing they would be embarrassed, the Hero Society led by Yao Zhenshan didn’t appear at the venue today. It was said these guys packed up early in the morning and slunk back to Dongshan Province with their tails between their legs, though who knows if that’s true.

Regarding this, everyone expressed understanding… The president had both legs chopped off, both vice presidents were seriously injured, with one still in emergency care. If they didn’t withdraw, were they waiting to be laughed at by others?

Yao Zhenshan was getting further and further from his dream of dominating China’s underground world.

Who knows what wonderful expression he would have when he returned to Dongzhou City in Dongshan Province and faced the headquarters building that had become a pile of ruins.

Su Rui sat in a corner, squinting as he watched the matches on the arena. Zhang Ziwei also quietly came over and sat down.

“The Information Hall has already investigated. That escaped Eastern martial artist was hit and killed by a passing vehicle on Jiangning Road, and the vehicle ran over him, leaving him unrecognizable and dead on the spot.”

After they separated yesterday, Su Rui had given Zhang Ziwei a task – to investigate the whereabouts of that escaped Eastern martial artist. In Su Rui’s view, that Matsushita Rinchuan’s martial arts were the strongest among the ten. If this person was allowed to leave, it would be a major hidden danger.

“Jiangning Road? Hit by a car?”

Hearing Zhang Ziwei’s words, Su Rui frowned tightly. Could it be that this Eastern martial artist was so scared by seeing Su Rui’s moves that he panicked and got hit by a car?

Su Rui pondered for a moment, his eyes showing doubt: “Jiangning Road is several kilometers from where we fought. This Eastern martial artist passed through so many road sections without being hit, how could he still be panicking and get hit in such a distant place?”

In Su Rui’s view, if he was going to be hit, he would have been hit long ago, not after running so far.

“Did you have a forensic doctor examine the wounds?”

Zhang Ziwei nodded: “Yes, but he was already crushed beyond recognition. It was a cement mixer truck weighing dozens of tons – the whole person was nearly flattened, and that section of road happened to have no surveillance.”

Su Rui continued frowning in thought, not speaking.

Zhang Ziwei asked: “You think he wasn’t killed by the car?”

“I suspect a master made a move. Otherwise, he would have escaped long ago. He was a high-level martial artist – how could he panic to the point of being hit by a car?” Su Rui smiled lightly: “But it doesn’t matter. This matter only has benefits and no drawbacks for us. I just really want to meet the person who righteously intervened.”

“I’ll continue following up.” Zhang Ziwei nodded, seemingly already treating Su Rui as her direct superior.

…

Hero Society president Yao Zhenshan’s surgery ended. After waking up, because the anesthetic effect hadn’t worn off yet, his whole body felt cold and he couldn’t stop shivering.

He looked at the pale white walls around him and said with a hoarse, weak voice completely unlike his usual spirited self: “Where is this?”

“Ninghai City First Hospital.” A subordinate nearby answered carefully.

“Hospital?”

Only then did Yao Zhenshan remember that before losing consciousness, he had already had both legs severed by Su Rui with one strike! The ten Eastern masters had also all been killed!

“My legs? What happened to my legs?” Yao Zhenshan hurriedly asked: “Were they reattached?”

He thought it was because the anesthetic effect hadn’t worn off that he couldn’t feel his legs. He knew that current medical technology was very advanced. If surgery was performed immediately after amputation, there was a considerable chance they could be reattached. At most, walking would be a bit awkward afterward, which was much better than missing limbs.

Looking at Yao Zhenshan’s expectant eyes, the subordinate’s voice was somewhat bitter: “President, the doctors in Ninghai have already done their best, but still couldn’t…”

From his subordinate’s expression, Yao Zhenshan already understood everything. His eyes suddenly filled with disbelief: “Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. Help me up, I want to see my legs!”

The subordinate could only help the hysterical Yao Zhenshan sit up. When the latter saw his thighs wrapped in layers of white gauze, his eyes were almost completely filled with bloodshot veins!

Only thighs, no lower legs!

Normal people without disabilities could never understand the desperate feeling of seeing oneself missing limbs!

“What happened, what happened? Didn’t they say they could be reattached? Why is it like this?” Yao Zhenshan grabbed his subordinate’s collar and roared: “Get the doctor here, I’m going to shoot him! Give me back my legs, give me back my legs!”

“President, please calm down! The severed legs really couldn’t be reattached!” The subordinate was shaken back and forth by the collar but didn’t dare resist at all.

“Why couldn’t they be reattached? Why couldn’t they be reattached? Give me an explanation!” Yao Zhenshan still couldn’t accept this reality and shouted hysterically.

“That guy’s strike was just… just too vicious. The knee cartilage, meniscus, ligaments, and tendons were all destroyed, completely destroyed! The kneecaps were also shattered! Being able to end up like this, the doctors have already done their best… They, they originally wanted to do a high-level amputation…”

As the subordinate spoke, his whole body broke out in cold sweat. Su Rui’s strike looked plain and ordinary, but it caused such terrifying damage, completely destroying Yao Zhenshan’s hope of standing up for the rest of his life!

You should know that Yao Zhenshan had stood firm in Dongshan Province for so long because his real power was not to be underestimated. He had very good relationships with many provincial leaders. For Su Rui to dare provoke him like this, was he really tired of living? Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall, even a desperate rabbit will bite. What about Yao Zhenshan, the leader of a gang?

In Dongshan Province, he was at least someone who had a say. Coming to Ninghai for just a few days, he had already had both legs chopped off!

This dragon crossing the river seemed to have been bitten half to death by the local snake before even waking up!

“Originally wanted to do a high-level amputation?”

Hearing his subordinate’s words, Yao Zhenshan became even more furious. He reached for his waist, and in his anger, he almost wanted to pull out a gun and shoot this subordinate!

However, he was wearing hospital clothes – where would there be a gun? This inadvertently saved that subordinate’s life!

“Who is he? Who exactly is he?” Yao Zhenshan roared!

This time, he not only lost both legs, but his dream of unifying China’s underworld with the help of the Yamamoto Group’s power had turned to bubbles. Even the Dongzhou City headquarters had been bulldozed. How could this Hero Society president not be angry?

“Should be someone from the Azure Dragon Gang.” The subordinate was very clear that at the scene, the Azure Dragon Gang had already surrounded the Hero Society completely.

“How could the Azure Dragon Gang have such a person?” Yao Zhenshan’s eyes flashed with a fierce light: “This shouldn’t be someone from the Azure Dragon Gang. This isn’t Li Yang’s style!”

“Find out who he is for me, where he lives, where his wife and children are. Daring to treat me like this, I’ll make him die without a burial place!” Yao Zhenshan heavily slapped the bedside. He was truly about to die of anger.

Just then, Yao Zhenshan’s phone rang.

That subordinate picked up the phone, and after looking at it, his expression changed slightly: “President, it’s a call from the East.”

“A call from the East?”

Yao Zhenshan’s expression changed dramatically!

“You all go out first and close the door.” Yao Zhenshan gestured. After all his subordinates left, he took several deep breaths before pressing the answer button.

Yao Zhenshan, who had just been in a rage, immediately put on an ingratiating expression once he answered the call.

“Mr. Suzuki, hello, hello. How do you have time to personally call me? I’m truly very honored.” Yao Zhenshan’s voice was very obsequious, but his heart was extremely nervous.

“I can’t reach Matsushita Rinchuan no matter what, and the rest have also lost contact. Yao, tell me, what happened?” The voice on the other end was very oppressive, clearly formed from long occupying a position of authority.

“This… this…” Yao Zhenshan hesitated for a long time, still not knowing what to say. He clearly knew how ruthless these Eastern people were. If he told them the truth, would it bring their revenge?

However, even if they retaliated, they would at most come to retaliate against the main culprit, not himself.

Thinking of this, Yao Zhenshan felt reassured again. His eyes rolled, and he immediately thought of a good way to divert trouble.

“It’s like this, Mr. Suzuki. Last night, a guy from Ninghai’s Azure Dragon Gang came to provoke us. Mr. Matsushita and the other nine martial artists fought back, but were all killed by that person. I also lost both legs…”

“What did you say?”

Before Yao Zhenshan finished speaking, he heard the voice on the other end filled with disbelief!

“What did you just say? Say it again!”

Yao Zhenshan involuntarily shivered and said: “I had both legs cut off…”

“That’s not what I want to hear!” The other end roared: “How many legs you lost has nothing to do with me! What happened to Matsushita and the others!”

Yao Zhenshan rubbed his ear that was aching from the shock and repeated in a sorrowful tone: “The ten respectable martial artist gentlemen, they all died in battle…”

“Baka! Yao Zhenshan, do you guarantee that everything you said is true?”

“I dare not hide anything from you… This matter is indeed inseparable from me… I…”

Yao Zhenshan’s words were interrupted again. The other party growled: “Where are you now?”

“Me?” Yao Zhenshan subconsciously answered: “I’m at Ninghai First Hospital. I just had surgery and haven’t…”

“Bastard, wait there for me!” With that, the other side hung up the phone viciously!
