Chapter 1388 - 1387: Consequences

Chapter 1388: Chapter 1387: Consequences

Jiang Cheng continued, "Tell that guy named Tian that Tian Wei is involved in the kidnapping and we’ve filed a case. If he hasn’t committed a crime, I’ll naturally let him go. But before the investigation is clear, I can’t release him just because he said so. If he has any complaints, let him come see me himself, and if he’s unhappy, he can challenge me."

Having finished speaking, Jiang Cheng threw Xu Hui heavily to the ground. "If I see you in the village again, I’ll break your damn leg!" He then looked at the two men Xu Hui brought and said, "Hurry up and carry him away, or do you expect me to feed him?"

The two men were too frightened to speak, and upon hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, quickly stepped forward to take Xu Hui away.

At this moment, everyone present was filled with disbelief towards this newly arrived boss. This was a blatant challenge to the Village Chief, something no boss had dared to do before.

Jiang Cheng glanced around but nobody dared to meet his gaze, all glancing away.

Also present in the village team was Liu Jianxin, the deputy boss, who was the youngest among the bosses besides Jiang Cheng. At this moment, he had sensed something unusual and turned his head to look at Wang Li, who was coincidentally looking back at him. As Liu Jianxin looked over, Wang Li nodded lightly at him.

Then, the brash young man stepped forward, looked Jiang Cheng up and down, and seeing how young he was, felt a bit skeptical, "You’re the boss?"

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Yeah, I’m the boss. Damn it, hurry and let the man go! Otherwise, I’ll beat you to death!" The young man saw Jiang Cheng admitting he was the boss, and started causing trouble.

"Oh? Do you want me to release Tian Wei?" Jiang Cheng asked. "Yes, hurry up and release our big brother!" Zhou District’s people responded one after another. "Alright, go bring Tian Wei over." Jiang Cheng waved at two team members. Hearing Jiang Cheng say this, the surrounding thugs appeared to have intimidated him, causing them to laugh proudly.

The members of the team, including Wang Li standing not far away, were a bit stunned. Was he really going to let Tian Wei go just like that? The fearless Jiang Cheng appeared to be cowed by these small-time thugs?

Though no one knew what Jiang Cheng had up his sleeve, his words had to be followed. Soon, Tian Wei was brought over. As Tian Wei saw the crowded scene and familiar faces, he understood immediately.

"Ha ha, Jiang, thinking of letting me go now? Let me tell you, I’m not leaving today!" Tian Wei laughed arrogantly.

Humph!" Jiang Cheng suddenly sneered, "Leave? I said, you won’t get out of here for the rest of your life." With that, Jiang Cheng turned around and struck Tian Wei forcefully on the chest, and Tian Wei flew into the crowd of thugs.

"You... You actually dared to hit Brother Wei! Are you sick of living?" The arrogant young man unexpectedly pulled out a long knife, pointing at Jiang Cheng, "Brothers, this bastard dared to hit Brother Wei! Attack! Kill him!"

The thugs heard this and immediately pulled out their weapons, recklessly charging towards Jiang Cheng. Seeing this, Wang Li and the others behind Jiang Cheng all had grim expressions, "Captain Jiang, run!"

Jiang Cheng saw them rushing over, pulled out his gun from his waist, and fired a shot into the sky. The arrogant thugs stopped in their tracks, hesitating.

At this moment, Tian Wei suddenly shouted, "Don’t panic! He’s bluffing! He doesn’t dare fire! Go ahead!"

The leading arrogant man also said, "Team members nowadays are cowards, don’t be afraid, let them know the consequences of offending us!" Hearing this, the thugs tightened their grip on their weapons, ready to charge again, when gunshots rang out.

As the gunshot sounded, a bloom of blood exploded on the arrogant man’s forehead, his body stiffened, then fell backwards.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng seemed possessed by a demon, and with the gun still in hand, exclaimed, "Surround the area with my orders, arrest everyone here! Anyone who resists will be shot on the spot!"

Beside him, Liu Jianxin was already terrified, asking Wang Li, "Wha... What do we do? This matter has blown up!"

Wang Li was also in shock but, after thinking for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "What’s done is done, let’s follow what the boss said, or else we’ll be in big trouble."

Liu Jianxin nodded in agreement, his thoughts aligning with Wang Li’s.

The team members didn’t even need Liu Jianxin to call them; they had already jumped in. They’d been fed up with these forces for quite some time. Usually, the thugs’ brashness completely disregarded the team members, lowering their societal status in Guiyang. Now that there’s a strong boss, if the sky falls, there’s someone tall holding it up. It’s the perfect chance to settle both old and new scores!

The thugs saw the team members rushing up, and their arrogance from earlier vanished; they dropped their weapons and tried to flee. But then, several more gunshots sounded, leaving two more bodies on the scene.

The escaping thugs were stunned! Was there no way to survive? Would surrender not suffice? Terrified, these thugs crouched down with their hands on their heads. "Don’t shoot! I surrender! I surrender!"

Following those gunshots, several higher-ups almost had their courage shattered in fear. Shooting the first one could still be seen as self-defense, but they had already started to run, so why continue shooting? Damn it! You decided not to speak, don’t drag me down with you!

Even Li Tian, who knew in advance about this situation, felt some regret now. Damn, this guy is insane! Had I known he was this brainless, I wouldn’t have gotten involved. Now I’m being dragged down too!

Unlike everyone else, Wang Li wasn’t worried about taking responsibility afterwards. What puzzled him was Jiang Cheng’s actions; he couldn’t understand why Jiang Cheng did this or what benefits it brought!

The situation on the scene was gradually being brought under control, and all the thugs were being subdued. Seeing this, Jiang Cheng instructed the team members to take them for interrogation, then returned to his office with Wang Li and Liu Jianxin following behind.

Wang Li looked very serious, "Boss Jiang, beating up so many people and even killing some, you know what consequences this might bring, right?"

Jiang Cheng leaned back on his chair indifferently, glanced at them, and said, "We’re team members! Being overwhelmed by a bunch of thugs here without doing anything, what right do we have to wear this uniform, saying we’re here to serve and maintain peace! Let me tell you, I plan to form a special action team, armed and ready, 24/7, to handle similar emergencies immediately! If thugs cause trouble again, we’ll defeat them directly."
