Because Liu Feng successfully attracted the firepower of Hong Gang Tiger Hall and Lion Hall, Poisonous Madness was finally able to escape.
This battle can be described as both heroic and tragic.
Hong Gang suffered thousands of casualties, while Mo Ming's side only lost a little over ten people. No matter how you look at it, Mo Ming's side came out ahead.
Yin Jiu was so furious after hearing about the night’s battle that he trembled all over. He initially intended to hold Black Tiger accountable, but seeing that Black Tiger was also severely injured, he held back his words.
After all, Black Tiger was the Hall Master of Tiger Hall. Although he did not hold as high a position in Hong Gang as Yin Jiu, he still had some status. Acting rashly against Black Tiger could easily destabilize Hong Gang's foundation. Moreover, in recent years, Black Tiger had been quite loyal to him. Even though he was angry, Yin Jiu could only grit his teeth and refrain from questioning Black Tiger's mistakes.
Black Tiger was indeed badly injured; first, Liu Feng had cut him across the waist, and then he was shot in the shoulder and legs. He could hardly move and had to be carried to the hospital by several Hong Gang brothers.
When they arrived at the private hospital established by Hong Gang, Black Tiger was covered in blood, frightening the young nurse so much that she hesitated to remove the bullets. In the end, it took an experienced old doctor to extract the three bullets lodged in Black Tiger's body.
The doctor informed Black Tiger that the three bullets had caused significant damage to his muscles and bones. He would need at least six months to recover and must avoid any strenuous activities, including sexual intercourse. If he did not pay attention to this, there was a high chance he would face paralysis in old age.
Avoiding strenuous activities was not a big deal for him; however, the prohibition on sexual activities made Black Tiger even more resentful towards Liu Feng and the others. His hatred gnawed at him constantly, as if Liu Feng and his group were right in his mouth.
After covering Liu Feng's group for their escape, Mo Ming did not return to the hotel. Given what happened last night, Hong Gang would surely intensify their search for Sanpan City. At such a time, Sanpan City was definitely unsafe; therefore, Mo Ming and his group had already evacuated to a resort they had booked earlier to avoid the storm.
The commotion from last night was quite significant. Even though Yin Jiu was the leader of Hong Gang, he was summoned back to Police Headquarters for questioning.
However, police investigations also require evidence. Yin Jiu refused to admit anything and pushed the blame onto his subordinates. They were helpless; after a routine questioning session with Yin Jiu, they released him.
This matter would not be resolved so easily. With the explosion incident followed by a shootout case, both events were unprecedented since China's reform era. The top leadership was furious and tried hard to suppress public opinion while ordering Sanpan City's authorities to resolve these issues quickly; otherwise, there would be a complete reshuffle with more capable individuals taking over.
As one pressure mounts upon another, with higher-ups not treating Li Hui kindly, Li Hui naturally would not show any leniency towards those below him. That evening, he called Tao to reprimand him for not deploying the police force to prevent the shootout incident.
In fact, Tao felt somewhat wronged; it wasn't that he didn't mobilize the police force but rather that there were too many Hong Gang members causing chaos at that time. Even if all of Sanpan City's police force were deployed, it would still be far from enough. He truly couldn't manage everything; by the time he dealt with one group of troublemaking Hong Gang members in one area, another incident would have already occurred elsewhere.
Li Hui did not care about Tao's difficulties and seriously told him that this matter must be dealt with quickly. To catch the thief, one must first catch the king; capturing the small fry of Hong Gang would not quell the anger from above, after all, they needed to act against Yin Jiu swiftly.
Tao had no choice but to repeatedly assure that if this matter was not handled well, he would willingly resign as punishment.
When all members of the "Yihun" organization returned to the resort, they immediately set up lookout posts and distributed the firearms they had purchased. If anyone from Hong Gang dared to launch a surprise attack, they would be met with firearms!
After a night of busy work, those injured brothers were arranged to rest. Mo Ming called together Liufeng, Poisonous Madness, and Crocodile, the pillars of their organization, for a small meeting.
"Boss, I just don't understand. We bought these firearms, so why didn't you let us use them last night?" Crocodile said with growing frustration, his tone slightly dissatisfied. "If we had brought the firearms last night, would we have had to worry about the support from those scoundrels in Hong Gang? As long as we had enough ammunition, no matter how many came at us, we could handle it. Why did we have to lose so many brothers?"
"Crocodile, you need to work on your temper. Your tone is a bit off," Liufeng said with a slight smile. "Don't you know how our boss operates? He didn't allow us to take the firearms out for a reason. Those of us who walk this path are already prepared; our fallen brothers in the afterlife will not blame us."
Poisonous Madness frowned and said, "Crocodile, I need to criticize you for this. Don't speak to the boss in that tone. Do you think our boss feels any better knowing brothers have died?"
"I... I just got a bit impatient and spoke without thinking. My bad, my bad. I hope the boss won't hold it against me; I just couldn't bear to see our brothers die like that." Crocodile realized he had spoken impulsively and glanced awkwardly at Mo Ming before quickly looking elsewhere.
"Let's not dwell on who is right or wrong. The reason I didn't let you take the firearms out last night was mainly to avoid delaying future matters. Think about it: if we took so many firearms out for a shootout and the military got wind of it, what do you think would happen?" Mo Ming was not angry; he understood Crocodile's feelings. Although those fallen brothers were not particularly close to him, once a brother, always a brother.
If given a choice, Mo Ming certainly did not want to see them die; however, this path was paved with blood and flesh. It was impossible to walk it peacefully.
"If those above find out that a large number of firearms have appeared in Sanpan City, they will definitely send military forces to investigate this matter and may even station troops in Sanpan City," Liufeng quickly grasped Mo Ming's meaning. "China has strict control over firearms; there is at least a ninety percent chance of what I just mentioned happening."
Mo Ming's concerns were exactly as Liufeng described; he was not afraid of being caught by military personnel but did not want them interfering in this matter. He wanted to resolve Yin Jiu and eliminate the Dark Order's pawns in China as quickly as possible while minimizing external resistance.
"Alright." Crocodile realized he had wrongly accused Mo Ming and honestly said, "Boss, I really was wrong just now..."
"I say Crocodile, you just admitted you were wrong earlier and now you're saying you really were wrong. So according to you, earlier you were intimidated by the boss's authority but didn't truly accept it?" Poisonous Madness interrupted him with a laugh.
The crocodile blushed and glared fiercely at Poisonous Madness, saying, "The first time I admitted I was wrong, it was for speaking to the boss like that. The second time I admitted I was wrong, it was for wrongly blaming the boss. What’s the matter? You don’t agree, do you? Old Poison, are you just nitpicking for no reason?"
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.
"Alright, I was just joking with you, don’t take it seriously." Poisonous Madness waved his hand and looked at Mo Ming, saying, "Boss, hurry up and get to the point. I need to go back and catch up on sleep; I’m exhausted after staying up all night."
"Well then, I'll keep it brief." Mo Ming smiled slightly and said, "Last night we took the first step in our operation against Hong Gang. Hong Gang has already started to fall into chaos. I believe the higher-ups are also planning to deal with this cancer known as Hong Gang. However, due to its deep-rooted foundation, they can’t make a decisive move right away. Therefore, we need to add some fuel to the fire."
"And how do we add this fuel?" Liufeng asked.
"I'll talk to Mourning Lion later. You all stay put and wait for my orders." Mo Ming's lips curled into a wicked smile as he continued, "I want Hong Gang to suffer from internal strife. As long as I reach an agreement with Mourning Lion, we can gradually push him into power. Once Hong Gang is no longer under Yin Jiu's control, the Dark Order's pawns within Hong Gang will be ineffective."
"Overthrowing Yin Jiu won't be easy, Boss. Are you sure Mourning Lion has the ability to take over Hong Gang?" Poisonous Madness had faced Hong Gang numerous times when he was a member of Azure Dragon Gang and knew well about their strength. It wasn't easy for anyone to ascend as the leader of Hong Gang.
"For Mourning Lion to become the leader of Hong Gang, he would have to step over many corpses," he thought.
"Of course he can," Mo Ming confidently nodded. "Mourning Lion is not as simple as he appears. Moreover, with our support in pushing things along, I believe it won’t be difficult for him to become the leader."
Liufeng stroked his little mustache, a smirk slowly spreading across his face. "I want Black Tiger's life; make sure to notify me when it's time to act. Also, I want Yin Jiu's life too—no one else better try to take it from me."
"Damn it, you might as well say that everyone's life in Hong Gang belongs to you!" the crocodile said irritably.
Liufeng shrugged nonchalantly. "I wouldn’t mind."
"Cut it out with the bragging! If it weren't for the boss last night, you would have been chopped up by Black Tiger and fed to the dogs!" The crocodile scoffed.
"I’m used to assassination," Liufeng said coldly. "If it comes down to that and I go all out, killing three hundred a day wouldn’t take long at all with over a hundred thousand people around..."
Listening to Liufeng's words and observing his expression, the Crocodile felt an uncontrollable shiver, a sensation that even Poisonous Madness and Mo Ming shared.
What kind of bloody scenes had they not witnessed? What terrifying events had they not encountered?
Yet at this moment, the three of them—Mo Ming, Liufeng, and the Crocodile, all seasoned killers—felt an indescribable sensation towards Liufeng, the bloody assassin.
Was it fear? Was it terror?
No, it was a sense of awe.
The Crocodile cursed, "You're just a madman, a bloodthirsty lunatic! Fine, take Yin Jiu's life and Black Tiger's life too; we won't compete with you!"
"That's more like it." Liufeng lit a cigarette for himself.
"I've said what I needed to say. If you're tired, rest. I'll handle this matter; you just need to conserve your strength and wait for my news."
Mo Ming said nothing more, took a step forward, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
