C557 He Was Confused
"Cousin?" My heart tightened.
When has Miss Ye ever called me that?
It seemed that when a person was in danger, their survival instinct was more important than the secular titles. It could make people forget their hatred and personal grudges for the time being.
"Didn't this girl come here to spend money to hire us to kill Lee Xiangyang? Why would she call him cousin?" The bearded man and the others were confused by Ye Shan.
After a while, he looked at Ye Shan and asked, "Is Lee Xiangyang your cousin?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Ye Shan saw that there was hope of being saved, so she did not care about shame and spoke righteously.
"Hahaha!" When the bearded man heard it, he seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world and immediately laughed.
This laughter made one's hair stand on end!
In my mind, I immediately thought back to when I was young, when Scarface handed us over to the bearded man. When we were about to sell us to the Southern Wilderness, we heard their conversation. After seeing through their trick, the scene of them escaping from the train... And the scene of the bearded man and the others chasing me to the edge of the cliff and me falling into a bottomless abyss.
"Ah? So it's him?" I immediately recognized the bearded man.
The bearded man saw me staring at him blankly and asked with a smile," Stinking brat, do you know why Miss Ye came looking for us? "
"What are you doing?" I patiently asked.
"She came to find us and was prepared to spend money to take your life." The bearded man said in a flattering manner, "I'm going to arrest her now, you should thank us!"
"Why should I believe you?" I patiently asked.
"Last time, when Ma Wu brought his men to Tingli Clothing Store to catch Zhang Yao, he was the one who ordered them to do so." The bearded man pointed at Ma Wu, who was standing beside him and was so scared that his face turned green. He said, "If you don't believe me, ask him."
"Bastard, is that what happened?" Hei Kui, who was standing beside me like an iron tower, immediately stared at Ma Wu with his copper hammer like eyes and asked him for me.
Ma Wu recalled the time when Hei Kui single-handedly fought with them and injured them. He was so frightened that he replied with a trembling voice.
"Yes... It is like this... Miss Ye paid us five hundred thousand Huaxia Monies as the deposit. She said that she would give us another five hundred thousand Huaxia Monies after the matter is done..."
I looked at Ye Shan, who was tied up on a pillar and was completely naked, and asked, "Ye Shan, is that the case?"
"No... It is not like this." Ye Shan started to feel despair and became hysterical all of a sudden. She said loudly, "They are talking nonsense. Their goal is to sow discord between us. Cousin, you must not believe them. Save... Save me..."
"Hahaha," the bearded man laughed wildly again and said to me, "Lee Xiangyang, your cousin really knows how to act. I really don't understand. Since she is your cousin, why did she spend money to hire us to kill you? What kind of deep hatred do you have between you two? Could it be that she only wanted to take revenge for that damn boyfriend, Yang Soong? "
" Stop your f * cking nonsense. This is a matter between me and my cousin. " A thick killing intent appears on my face as I coldly say: "You old bastard, do you know? All these years, I have been looking for you for revenge. I didn't expect to meet you here. We are really enemies on a narrow road. "
"Who the hell are you?" The bearded man became alert when he saw that I didn't fall for his ruse of sowing dissension.
"I am the young man who was forced to the cliff by you back then..." As I spoke, my footsteps moved.
Like a ghost, my body charged straight towards the bearded man. Opening my fingers, I prepared to use the Eagle Claw Technique that I had trained for many years to lock his throat with a single move.
However, the bearded man was not an ordinary person. When he saw me attack him, he immediately pushed Ma Wu, who was beside him, towards me.
I happened to grab Ma Wu's throat. With a little strength, I lifted Ma Wu up with one hand and threw him into the crowd. After Ma Wu's huge body hit a few people, he fell to the ground with a dull thud.
Hei Kui and Soong Fei immediately participated in the battle when they saw me attack the bearded man and the others.
Hei Kui's huge body and firm fist were like a black peach, beating these thugs until they wailed like ghosts and cried for their parents.
After all, Soong Fei was the leader of a group of hoodlums, so he naturally had good skills. He waved his fist as if no one was there, and wherever he went, people would be thrown off their feet.
For a moment, the entire hall was filled with wails and cries.2
Some of the gangsters saw that the situation was bad and ran out of the door. It was as if they had hit a wall, and they were stopped by the brothers that Soong Fei had arranged outside.
When I saw Hei Kui and Soong Fei playing the role of cleaners in front of me, I put my hands on my waist and stood to the side to watch the battle.
The bearded man saw that the situation was bad and took out a dagger from his waist. He scuttled behind Ye Shan and used the dagger to hold Ye Shan's neck. He shouted at me.
"Lee Xiangyang, tell your men to stop, or I will kill her!"
I said with a smile, "Didn't you say that she spent money to hire you to kill me? Why should I help her? If you want to kill her, then kill her. What does that have to do with me? "
When Ye Shan saw Hei Kui, Soong Fei, and the others knock down the hoodlums under the bearded man, she knew that she could be saved. Her heart was filled with laughter, but when she heard my conversation with the bearded man, she immediately felt cold.
Ye Shan immediately begged me, "Cousin, this is a misunderstanding. You must not listen to him. We once had some misunderstandings, but we are relatives after all. You must forgive me. Don't worry, I won't take revenge on Yang Soong. Can we turn our conflict into friendship? "
I said in a deep voice, "To tell you the truth, I didn't kill Yang Soong and the others. You can take revenge on whoever you want. It has nothing to do with me!"
"Ah? You didn't kill Yang Soong?" Ye Shan asked with her eyes wide open.
"That night, you already knew my identity. Why did I kill him?" I asked back.
"Since it wasn't you, then who was it?" Ye Shan was a little confused.
"Go and investigate it yourself!" I said coldly.
The bearded man saw that Ye Shan and I were chatting and became somewhat impatient. He said loudly to me, "Lee Xiangyang, quickly let your men leave. Otherwise, I will kill her!"
As he spoke, he exerted a little strength in his hand. The knife cut through Ye Shan's tender skin, causing a trace of blood to seep out.
"Not good!" I was secretly shocked and said, "As long as you release my cousin, everything will be fine. Otherwise, I will make you die without a burial ground!"
Suddenly, I felt a chill behind me and smelled a cold weapon.
I instinctively dodged.
Peng!
With a crisp sound, a bullet flew past my ear.
"Ah!" At the same time, the bearded man let out a miserable cry. A large hole appeared in his head, and his brain burst open.
Plop!
The bearded man's huge body fell heavily to the ground.
Clang!
The short knife in his hand also fell to the ground, producing a crisp sound.
