After hanging up the phone, Ze Anzhi waved over Arima Jin II. "What's the situation now? What did the gangs say?"
The Green Gang, Dao Association, and Hong Zhaoting clearly stated that it wasn't their people who did it. Wan Xianghui of the Axe Gang refused to answer, only saying he would get to the bottom of it.
"Tell the gangs that if the Axe Gang doesn't hand over the person, then they might as well not live anymore. Lushun will send troops to arrest all gang members—no trial, no prison, just immediate execution!"
"Understood!"
When the leaders of several gangs received the call from the Lushun Gendarmerie, they were stunned, furious, and ready to kill. "If the Axe Gang kidnapped someone, why are you coming after us?"
However, the Gendarmerie had already made it clear: if they didn't hand over the person, they would all be dead!
What could they do? They decided to round up everyone from the Axe Gang and interrogate them one by one; surely they would find the woman that the Japanese wanted!
Thus, the territory of the Axe Gang was surrounded by gangs from all over Lushun. Without saying a word, they broke limbs and then began questioning.
"Did you kidnap any woman? Did you?"
If anyone said no, they would be silenced immediately. It was a rare opportunity to seize territory and eliminate competitors; they had to act decisively.
The most wronged was Wan Xianghui of the Axe Gang. After working hard to carve out a piece of territory and establishing a foothold in Lushun after aligning with the Japanese, within just a few hours, he was being demanded for a person by the Japanese, police, and other gangs. They said if he didn’t hand her over, that mysteriously kidnapped woman wouldn’t live! But this had nothing to do with him! He hadn’t ordered any kidnapping!
As bad news continued to pour in—venues being raided, warehouses being robbed, his brothers being killed—those attacking included other gangs, police, and even Japanese from the Gendarmerie!
Feeling deeply besieged by malice, three of his subordinates rushed in with a writhing large Hemp Bag. "Boss! Boss! I’ve brought you a great gift; come take a look!"
Wan Xianghui was already fired up; he was certain there was a person inside that bag! He knew why his day had turned so disastrous!
To confirm whether there was indeed a woman in the Hemp Bag, Wan Xianghui reached for his gun at his waist. Once he confirmed it, he would personally deal with these three idiots!
As he opened the bag, a beautiful woman appeared—gagged and terrified. Wan Xianghui suppressed his urge to shoot and slowly asked his three foolish subordinates where they had brought her from.
"From an alley in the dock area."
"What did you bring her for?"
"She’s dressed so nicely; she must be wealthy. We brought her here so her family would pay for her release. If they don’t come up with the money, she’ll become our gang’s lady! We had to take a long detour because there were checkpoints everywhere before we finally got back here."
"Looks like I should thank you then?"
"Boss, no need for such politeness! Besides, we’re quite experienced with this sort of thing!"
Wan Xianghui cautiously approached Wu Miaoyuan and removed the cloth gagging her. "Excuse me, are you Miss Wu Miaoyuan?"
"Do you know who I am and still dare to tie me up?"
"No, no, no! Ms. Wu, I didn't tie you up! I didn't give any orders to kidnap you!"
"Brother, do you know this woman?"
Wan Xianghui was explaining that this had nothing to do with him, while his three foolish subordinates were still here drugging themselves.
Wan Xianghui quickly drew his gun and emptied the magazine at the three subordinates.
Wu Miaoyuan was a special case; she had no problem killing with a gun.
