179: Chapter 176 Speed and Passion
"Brother Li? What happened to him?" Third Master asked suspiciously.
Master Wen sighed and said in a deep voice, "The Fuxing Gang leader, Guo Fu, is a man who is fierce of face but weak of heart. Last time, I intended to speak with him privately and take the opportunity to knock him down a peg, to make him restrain his subordinates."
"After that time, he must have remembered my vehicle. Although he doesn't know where I live, but..."
He didn't say the rest, but the meaning was clear.
The Fuxing Gang had joined forces with local Gangs yesterday to deliberate, which clearly meant they had decided to target him.
It must be...
"Old Third, go back and investigate thoroughly. On my side, everyone is a retired veteran; the likelihood of them being bought off is very low. The problem might be with the newcomers on your side, investigate carefully."
Master Wen glanced at Third Master and said indifferently.
Hearing this, Third Master was shocked, feeling a layer of cold sweat break out on his back.
He understood Master Wen's meaning; the other side suddenly holding a meeting must mean they knew the itinerary of Master Wen's vehicle.
Apart from Master Wen's side, the only ones who knew this were on Third Master's side.
And on his own side...
Third Master thought for a moment. He had only told a few people; besides Old Seven, there were only those few others left. This would be easy to investigate.
"Master Wen, I will go back and investigate right now!"
"Sigh, no rush. The incident has already happened; investigating this won't help. Let's first check the situation with Brother Li."
As Master Wen spoke, he signaled to the manservant.
The manservant understood, quickly turned, and walked into the side room, returning a moment later.
"Master Wen, Old Zhang's phone won't go through." The manservant's face looked ugly; Old Zhang was the driver.
"Alright, you may leave."
Master Wen lay back in his chair, closed his eyes, and sighed softly.
"Master Wen, this..." Third Master felt his temples throbbing, a surge of anger rushing to his head.
"This Fuxing Gang is too arrogant!"
As an old-timer, Third Master certainly understood this Gang, which was originally composed of people from Fujian.
But after so many years of evolution, this Gang had long since rotted to the core, with all kinds of people inside.
If this were in Japan, the Fuxing Gang would still be considered a somebody.
Because they had to constantly guard against the Yamaguchi-gumi there, the Fuxing Gang had actually done quite a bit to protect their compatriots, taking out several Yamaguchi-gumi bosses. In its heyday, it almost controlled the underground world of Tokyo.
The Gangs in Japan were practically divided by the Fuxing Gang; anyone who has been to Japan knows how rampant the Fuxing Gang is there.
In Canada, the Fuxing Gang is one of the six major Gangs, and its power ranks among the top, existing on par with the local Hell Angels.
But here, because there are too many local forces, and coupled with the severe crackdown by the local police in recent years, they almost collapsed and completely gave up.
In the local Chinese living areas, they bully their compatriots the worst.
Previously, Third Master's Hongmen and the Fuxing Gang had quite a bit of cooperation, and both sides had always been in a state of mutual support. Of course, that was before the year 2000.
After that, following the passing of the Chief, the Fuxing Gang began to grow wildly, even once seizing Hongmen territory.
In Japan, the brothers of the Fuxing Gang were indeed quite spirited; at least they dared to face outsiders.
But here, when it comes to infighting, they rank second; no one dares to rank first.
"What does it matter if they are arrogant? Now we need to figure out how many people they have sent and how many forces have joined together to target us."
Master Wen sighed. He felt that whenever he wanted to accomplish something, there was always someone causing trouble.
Clearly, the Fuxing Gang is currently stirring up trouble. The Fuxing Gang and those local forces have joined together, and their purpose is actually very simple.
That is to wipe out this remnant of the Hongmen and swallow their territory.
The Fuxing Gang wants their Chinatown area, and those local forces want their goods distribution channels.
With these people joining forces, Master Wen knew even with his eyes closed that they must have already made a deal on how to split the profits.
"Send the notice down. Let the brothers get ready; this might be the final carnival. I really hope they act slowly! It's a pity; we were just a little short."
Master Wen sighed deeply.
His original idea was to first unite the various halls of the Hongmen and consolidate the scattered Hongmen, but things went against his wishes. He didn't expect the Fuxing Gang to be so decisive.
And for him to contact the bosses of those various halls, it would also take time; the earliest would be next month.
Unfortunately, things were already destined.
Ever since the Chief passed away, it had been going downhill day by day, and even the up-and-coming Fuxing Gang had already surpassed them.
It can't even be described as surpassing; they have exceeded us. Currently, according to incomplete statistics, the Fuxing Gang has nearly 1.7 million members worldwide. What about the Hongmen? Perhaps only a few hundred thousand, and they are scattered troops.
"It's just killing, right? I've long disliked those sons of bitches, especially that bunch of Fuxing Gang guys who only know how to bully their own. I'll kill one for every one I see!"
Third Master was now filled with Killing Intent.
He knew very clearly what this group of people would face next. It was not just one force, but multiple forces besieging them together.
It was unclear exactly how many; it could be one or two, or it could be all the forces in San Francisco attacking together.
"But Master Wen, about Brother Li..."
"It depends on fate. Whether he can survive depends on himself. We don't know anything right now. Compared to worrying about him, we should worry about ourselves."
Master Wen smiled bitterly.
It was foreseeable that since the other side had already made a move, regardless of the outcome, they would inevitably launch an all-out attack tonight.
Hearing this, Third Master also thought of this and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
They didn't even know where Li Changsheng was attacked, nor did they know if he was dead or alive.
Saving him was impossible.
As for calling the police?
That would be even more of a joke. Since local Gangs were involved, they must have some connection with the local FBI.
And on their side, they were already unable to take care of themselves. Those who needed to arrange their affairs could start doing so.
They also had to notify the neighborhood to keep their doors shut tight at night; otherwise, it would be bad if neighbors were accidentally hurt.
Meanwhile, Li Changsheng had reached a critical moment.
He didn't know who these people were, but judging from their series of tactics, he determined that they were too professional.
They didn't look like Gang members at all; they looked more like a well-trained special forces unit.
Their division of labor was clear, and after the sniper attack failed, a series of strikes followed.
Because they had long known that this car was installed with bulletproof Materials, they simply didn't fire their guns, but instead used two cars to constantly squeeze Li Changsheng's car as it sped in a straight line.
"Is there any way to shake them off?" Li Changsheng asked the driver in front.
"I... I... I can't move at all right now. They seem to have installed something under their car bodies that has lifted our car up."
The driver was covered in cold sweat. Although he was used to life and death, he had never seen such a scene; these people were like street thugs from a movie.
No! "Thugs" was not enough to describe them; they were more like a group of special forces elites.
Beep!~
Just then, a bulldozer suddenly rushed out from the corner ahead, and immediately after, Li Changsheng noticed that the vehicles on both sides, as if they had agreed upon it, scattered to the left and right.
Not good!
Boom!
The car body crashed head-on into that heavy steel shovel.
Clang!
The violent impact made Li Changsheng's head swell, but fortunately, he had protected his head with his hands in advance.
In contrast, the driver in the front row had crashed into the steering wheel due to inertia and was then directly blasted by the suddenly deployed airbag. He was either dead or in deep shock, his whole body slumped limply on the airbag, with blood flowing continuously along the surface of the airbag.
Looking at the front of the car again, it was almost crushed into the driver's seat.
Sure enough, even a Volvo, known for its excellent safety performance, could not escape in such an extreme situation.
At this moment, the bulldozer began to push the vehicle, speeding recklessly. Li Changsheng lay on one side of the window edge.
Watching the bulldozer pass through this residential area, which was still somewhat populated near the city center, all the way to the vicinity of an abandoned factory.
"Who on earth are these people? One step after another; this bulldozer was meant to intercept the car, drive it to a secluded area, and then slowly deal with it?"
Watching this scene, Li Changsheng quickly understood the purpose of this group.
It was simply that they didn't want to make too much of a scene in a crowded area.
This kind of vehicle with bulletproof Materials could not be breached without using high-powered weapons.
Once here, they could do whatever they wanted.
Bad luck! Extremely bad luck!
Li Changsheng cursed inwardly. The series of events before him were almost similar to some of the big scenes in the movie Fast and Furious.
He thought such a situation wouldn't happen in reality; after all, even in the US, such things shouldn't happen, but movies draw material from reality, and isn't reality a reflection of movies?
