Chapter 191: Past Events in the Slums
In the repair shop, the blood on the ground was still warm and the chainsaw was still emitting black smoke.
Su Xia took two steps, then kicked the chainsaw out of the store.
The wind outside blew away the smelly black smoke.
Su Xia took out two potions, one to wake him up and the other to heal his injuries.
After taking two doses of medicine, Wu Jian groaned and his eyelids moved, but the blood stains in front of his eyes had scabbed over, and he was so weak that it was difficult for him to even open his eyes.
The woman Xu Lian hurried over and squatted down to wipe the blood off his face. Her eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs: "Wake up... wake up..."
The two children also squatted beside Wu Jianshen, their eyes red and swollen from crying, and they shook their father's body while crying.
Su Xia stood at the door, waiting quietly for the potion to take effect.
Ma Zhu in the restaurant across the street waved and seemed to want to come over, but he stopped him with his eyes.
After two or three minutes, Wu Jian finally opened his eyes with difficulty. Thanks to the painkiller Su Xia had injected earlier, the pain in his body was temporarily suppressed and most of his body was numb.
“Thank…thank you…”
Wu Jian spoke with difficulty, his voice was hoarse and extremely weak.
His body moved and his limbs trembled slightly. He seemed to feel that lying down was not respectful enough and wanted to struggle to get up and thank Su Xia.
But as soon as he moved, the pain all over his body suddenly increased, and even the medicine could not suppress it. The pain made him sweat all over his head and he almost fainted again.
"Lie down, the medicine in your body is taking effect . Don't move yet and wait for the wound to heal." Su Xia spoke.
"Okay, okay, thank you..."
"Have you ever fought before?"
Su Xia felt that his arrival seemed to have triggered some kind of plot. If he hadn't come today, Wu Jian might really have been beaten to death by his son.
"In the past, also... ahem..."
Wu Jian really couldn't say much. He started coughing violently after just a few words. The cough affected his whole body and he felt another piercing pain.
His wife Xu Lian looked sad and answered for him: "Sir, we have fought before, but never like today. It's like Xiaolong doesn't recognize us."
"Well, he took a lot of drugs this time and was excited, so it's normal for him to use heavy hands."
Su Xia had seen similar news on Earth.
Some people got so high on drugs that they strangled their family members to death with their own hands, some committed suicide by detonating gas, and some imagined that they had grown wings and jumped off a tall building.
This kind of thing is common in every world, and you get used to it after seeing it so many times.
"Didn't you receive several anonymous payments before?" Su Xia asked, "Did he use all that money?"
Xu Lian was startled and asked cautiously, "Sir, did you send that money?"
"No, he's a friend of mine."
"That money...was indeed taken away by Xiaolong."
Xu Lian sighed and continued, "We didn't know who sent the money. Every time, there was only a note asking us to move out. We wanted to leave, but Xiaolong said he needed money to start a business. At that time, we didn't know what he was doing. We only found out later..."
The so-called entrepreneurship is to be an agent of sugar water.
Buy large quantities of sugar water in bulk from the gangs and sell it to earn rewards.
At that time, people in the slums already knew that there was something wrong with the sugary drink, but few could resist the short-lived happiness.
Su Xia asked, "Didn't he make any money?"
"No." Xu Lian's face was bitter. "It was said that he was an agent, but most of the money was shared by himself and his friends. Later, he asked for more and more money, until today..."
"Um."
Su Xia nodded, perhaps understanding.
He checked the time, took out the second healing potion, and injected it into Wu Jian.
This third-tier potion is very expensive, and many player teams are reluctant to use it now. It is only used more frequently in Bikini Bottom and some of its allied teams.
"Tell me about Wu Gui."
"Agui?"
Hearing this familiar name, Xu Lian and Wu Jian looked at each other and finally understood why Su Xia came.
The friend Su Xia mentioned must be their cousin Wu Gui.
When Wu Gui joined the Beifeng organization, in order not to drag down his relatives and family, he faked his own death and did not even leave a corpse.
His death has always seemed strange to Wu Jian, but small people like them cannot hire anyone to investigate the specific cause of death, so they can only let it go.
"Ah, he still..."
Xu Lian was just about to ask if Wu Gui was still alive.
But she suddenly thought that it was Su Xia instead of Wu Gui who came today, which was enough to explain a lot of problems.
"Alas, we always suspected that he was not dead." Xu Lian sighed, "In order to make a clean break with the past, his father also faked his own death."
During the conversation, Su Xia learned that Wu Gui's father was a ruthless man. He was well-known in another slum . Later, when he wanted to retire, he faked his own death and killed several brothers with his own hands. He took away the money that the brothers had saved together for many years, and brought the woman that his brother liked here to get married and have children, and Wu Gui was born.
Later, the brothers who survived the death came back for revenge, and Wu Gui became an orphan.
When Wu Gui grew up, he also fought back to avenge his parents, and finally joined Bei Feng.
Killing seems to be the eternal theme of this barren land. The legendary experiences of many small people are enough to be made into movies.
No wonder Wu Gui had such outstanding skills at such a young age and was valued by the former Commander Beifeng.
"Do you still want to leave here now?" Su Xia asked.
"think."
"Okay, I'll find a way for you."
Due to the sudden appearance of the sugar water task, Su Xia had to take action, and the traces of his actions could easily be recognized by someone with ulterior motives.
It is unrealistic to use my identity as a pharmacist to help get a job, so I have to start from other places.
"What's the name of the local gang? How strong is it? Tell me everything."
Su Xia knew that Wu Xiaolong had gone to call for help. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
Following Xu Lian's narration, a small organization of average strength gradually took shape in Su Xia's mind.
The Black Tiger Gang has more than sixty official members in total.
The gang leader is named Ah Fu, and he is a psychic creature.
Wu Xiaolong was not an official member of the gang, he just recognized a formal boss, so he didn't even have a gun. His status in the entire gang was the lowest level member.
Xu Lian said worriedly, "Sir, why don't you just leave?"
The woman was clearly afraid of the Black Tigers.
Not only her, all the ordinary people in this market are afraid. From the elderly to the children, they all know that the people in the Black Tiger Gang are not easy to mess with. They are all desperate criminals.
There are no law enforcers in the underground, only weapons and violence.
An inferior member like Wu Xiaolong would make ordinary people afraid of him.
"Just take the two children with you," Xu Lian pleaded, "We'll stay here. Xiaolong will probably spare our lives for the kindness he has shown us."
"Don't worry, if you want to go, let's go together. A family should be together."
Su Xia understood what they were afraid of.
The Black Tiger
In the market, many stall owners and shop owners were packing up their things, fearing that they would be affected later.
The weak fear the strong, and the strong fear the stronger.
If he revealed the name of the Masked Stranger now, all the gang leaders around here would come running to greet him, being extremely respectful and not daring to have any other thoughts.
Soon, the roar of an engine was heard from the sewer in the distance.
“Buzz——”
The dazzling lights of car lights came from far away, and more than a dozen modified motorcycles with rough and wild appearances were speeding in the pipeline.
The drivers were all wearing black jackets, black sunglasses, had grim faces, guns on their waists, and a black tattoo of a roaring tiger on their necks.
Seeing these people, people in the market became nervous, not daring to breathe, all the music stopped, leaving only the sound of the approaching motorcycles.
“The momentum is pretty good.”
Su Xia commented like this, because that was all the momentum was.
He looked through the character panels and found that they were all just show-offs, strong on the outside but weak on the inside, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, suffering from illnesses, and all of them were addicted to sugar water, and were so weak that they could be knocked down with one punch.
After a while, more than ten motorcycles stopped in the market.
Wu Xiaolong was also there. His legs and face had been simply bandaged, but the bleeding had not stopped yet. Blood continued to seep out, and the white bandages had been stained red.
As he said before, he is indeed back.
He endured the severe pain and got off the motorcycle with the help of several younger brothers.
"Boss, it's him!" He pointed at Su Xia viciously, "He spoke rudely, insulted our Black Tiger Gang, and even wanted to kill me!"
"Oh? Him?"
The leader pulled out a shotgun from the car and loaded it coldly.
He walked straight to the repair shop with an imposing manner and asked coldly: "You injured my brother, how do you want to die?"
This is also a brainless thing, Su Xia was too lazy to respond.
As soon as they opened their mouths, they put the two sides on opposite sides without even guessing the other side's strength. No wonder these gangs are always fighting each other. In addition to fighting for interests, another important reason is that their members are stupid.
"Boss, he's ignoring you!" Wu Xiaolong's eyes were fierce. "How can we tolerate this? Just tell our brothers to shoot him to death!"
"He's at the door, and your parents are inside too. They could easily get hurt by random gunfire."
"No, leave them alone!"
Wu Xiaolong's eyes were red and his expression was full of resentment. It was not known whether the effect of the medicine had not yet worn off, but his face was distorted like that of a madman.
"I don't have such parents, it would be better to kill them together!"
