Chapter 42 Assassination

“Chairman Lin, I’m sure Jinqiang have guessed it was us who did it. Jinqiang won’t let the matter rest easily. He will take revenge. So you must be careful.” Bob said. “I’ll be waiting for him to retaliate.” Josh was still smiling. “You said you have something important to tell me. What is it?” “Oh, Chairman Lin. There will be an auction next week, and some very good land will be auctioned.” Bob said. “You must go to the auction and bid for the land. It is very important for us.” Real estate is the major business of Huading Group. It is very important for them to get good land, because they need to put up new buildings. But obviously, they will have to bid against many other people if the land is truly valuable. “A week later? Good, I know.” Josh nodded. “Jinqiang Group will bid against us during the auction. You must get prepared.” “Don’t worry about that.” Josh laughed coldly. His grandfather is the richest man in the Southwest, and that’s why he was confident that no one could offer more money for the land than him. ...... Josh left his company and drove to the school. He parked his Lamborghini at a secret place. But the moment he got off the car, some masculine men dressed in black jumped out of the greenbelt and surrounded Josh. Each of them held a dagger in his hand. “Who are you?” Josh frowned. “We are here to take your life! This is what you get for dumping shit in front of Master Xiang’s villa!” A man said. He looked fierce and cruel. He then raised his dagger and charged towards Josh. Josh’s eyes widened and he didn’t know what to do. If he got stabbed, no one could save him. At that very moment, something whooshed towards them and the next thing they knew, the man who was charging towards Josh was lying on the ground, motionless. Josh looked at that man and found a knife was stabbed into his chest and blood was spurting out. “Who is it? Who is it?” The other men were so frightened, and they looked around nervously. A figure walked towards them at a leisure pace. He was none other than Gulang! Josh laughed when he saw Gulang. “What a nice surprise.” He said. He found Gulang magnificent. And he completely forgot how angry he was with Gulang for disobeying him earlier. Gulang was now standing in front of them. “Who are you!” These men pointed their daggers at Gulang and shouted. They were fearful. After all, a knife just flew into their brother’s chest, which was obviously caused by Gualng. Gulang wore no expression. He looked around and said in a horse voice: “I don’t want to kill anyone. So get lost instantly.” His voice was not very loud, but a chill was sent down their spine. “Who the hell are you? Our boss is Master Xiang! We are not afraid of you! You’d better stay out of our business! Or we won’t show any mercy!” a tall man shouted at Gulang. “I’m sorry. I don’t know who Master Xiang is. I only know that if you don’t run, you will die.” Gualng said in a flat voice. His face was still blank. “You will regret for your decision. Brothers! Don’t be afraid! There are so many of us! Let’s kill him!” That tall man said and rushed towards Gulang. When his dagger was about to be stabbed into Gulang’s chest, Gulang grabbed his wrist and turned. That man then screamed hysterically and his face contorted in great pain. The others looked at that man’s wrist, and found his wrist was already broken and a piece of bone stuck out of his skin. And then, Gulang patted on his forehead and he collapsed on the ground and lost his consciousness immediately. Everything happened so fast, and Gulang killed that man with so much ease. The others all gasped. Fear was written all over their face. “Since you are so eager to die, I will have to help you with it.”Gulang’s face darkened. Then, he charged towards these men at an astonishing speed. A minute later, these men were all on the ground. None of them was breathing. Josh swallowed nervously when he saw these dead bodies. Fear flickered across his eyes. Gulang walked to Josh and said: “Young master, are you alright?” “I....I’m fine. Thank you so much.” Josh nodded nervously. He was shocked to the core by what Gulang just did. “It’s my pleasure. Please go. I’ll deal with these bodies.” Gulang said so calmly, as if he just killed some ants. “Oh.” Josh said. He didn’t recover from the shock. After all, he had never seen anyone being killed before. He walked back into his car and grabbed the steering wheel, and he found his hands were shaking nonstop. “Damn it! I am such a coward!” Josh said. Actually, Josh is rather tough, because any other man would absolutely throw up when he saw someone getting killed for the first time. “I would be dead if grandpa didn’t send Gulang to protect me.” Josh said to himself. And he was seized by a terrible fear when he thought of that possibility. “Bloody Jinqiang Group! Screw you! Jinqiang Xiang!” Josh thumped the steering wheel. “This is not over! I have to destroy Jinqiang Group!” Josh was furious, even though Gulang prevented the tragedy. ...... The waste at the front of Jinqiang’s villa was finally cleaned after a whole morning’s efforts. At that time, Jinqiang’s adviser rushed into the villa and met Jinqiang. “How did it go? Is Josh killed?” Jinqiang was sitting in a sofa with a beautiful woman on his lap. He felt rather happy when he thought Josh would soon be killed and he almost forgot about the shit in front of his villa. “Master Xiang, something is wrong. I can’t get in touch with the people I sent out to kill Josh.” The adviser said in a low voice. His head was drooped into his chest. The smile disappeared from Jinqiang’s face. “What the hell do you mean?” He stood up in an instant and asked angrily. In Qingyang City, he had never failed to kill anyone before.
