88: Chapter 88 Attacked
Zhang Shan casually threw Tao Wei onto the ground. Looking at Tao Wei, who was trembling on the floor, his contempt for him deepened even further.
A person who could betray their own employer at a critical moment was certainly no good person.
"Hey, Tao Wei, your Dragon Tiger Gang is said to be a gang that ranks among the best in the entire Zhili Country. You must have quite a few valuable things, right?"
Zhang Shan looked at Tao Wei with a sideways glance.
Being stared at, Tao Wei immediately pointed to the safe placed in the corner.
"Mr. Robinson, all our money is in that safe. If it's not there, it's all with Master Sun; we don't have any."
Tao Wei said hurriedly.
Zhang Shan walked up to the safe, a throwing knife appearing in his hand. Under Tao Wei's astonished gaze, he fiddled with the safe for a moment.
Click.
In just a few seconds, the safe opened before him.
Zhang Shan looked at the contents inside, then looked at Tao Wei with some disappointment.
"You dare to claim to be one of the top gangs in Zhili Country with just this little bit of stuff? You really have the nerve to say that? Aren't you ashamed to let anyone know?"
"Actually, our Dragon Tiger Gang only looks impressive on the surface; in reality, it has long existed in name only," Tao Wei replied hastily.
Just as Zhang Shan and Gu Nan were busy rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, suddenly, a lackey ran over.
Zhang Shan immediately pointed his gun at the lackey's head, his expression grim.
"Speak! What is your purpose in coming here? Speak quickly. If you can't explain yourself, I'll finish you off."
The lackey, who had come to relay the message, trembled and said anxiously:
"Boss Robinson, I am Boss Moriarty's lackey. I came here to tell you that Zhang Shan and the others have been ambushed and are now surrounded. They have been in a stalemate for a long time and probably can't hold out much longer, so Boss Moriarty asked me to notify you. If you are finished here, please go over there to help."
Zhang Shan turned his head to look at Tao Wei.
"I really didn't expect that you had a backup plan."
"Boss Robinson, I really don't know. I swear I really don't know. Perhaps Master Sun and the others were afraid that I would fail, so they prepared a second plan, but I truly know nothing about this."
Hearing this news, Tao Wei was instantly panicked; he had no idea what would happen next.
"Tell me exactly what happened."
"Just an hour ago, a group of people suddenly attacked Aolu Company. They started smashing everything as soon as they entered. When Mr. Zhang Shan heard the news, he took his men and rushed down, but there were too many of them. They are struggling to hold on."
The lackey looked anxious.
"Have you found out where they came from? Which group are they, and why are they in conflict with us?" Zhang Shan asked.
"No, we haven't found out about these people yet. We have absolutely no leads." The lackey shook his head.
Although they had a certain amount of deterrent power in Zhili Country, their intelligence network was not perfect. Sometimes news did not reach them in a timely manner.
Zhang Shan frowned. He hadn't expected that he would still underestimate the local snakes here. Although this appointment was a spur-of-the-moment decision, looking at the situation where Zhang Shan and his men were suddenly surrounded, it was clear that Master Sun had been prepared for a long time. It seemed there was a tough battle to be fought.
"Tao Wei." Zhang Shan suddenly called out to him.
"I'm here, I'm here, Mr. Robinson, I'm here." Although there were people attracting firepower outside, he dared not show the slightest bit of negligence toward Robinson. This person was not someone he could afford to provoke, and furthermore, his life was still in Zhang Shan's hands.
"Didn't you say that your Dragon Tiger Gang was hollowed out inside? Then where did these men of yours pop up from? Did they fall from the sky?" Zhang Shan was a bit irritated. It wasn't that he didn't trust Zhang Shan or that they couldn't handle those people; it was just that there were too many of them, and he was afraid they wouldn't be able to hold out.
"Mr. Robinson, I've only heard about this as well. I feel that these people might be the mysterious force under Master Sun that is rumored to exist."
Zhang Shan thought about it and felt that this was also possible. After all, as the leader of the Dragon Tiger Gang, Master Sun couldn't possibly have only this little bit of strength. The only thing he was worried about now was whether this force was provided by that mysterious person whose background he still hadn't investigated thoroughly.
Thinking of this, he called Gu Nan over.
"Nan Zi, I'll leave things here to you for now. I'm going to go see how Zhang Shan and the others are doing," Zhang Shan said.
"I want to go too. There's nothing left for me to do here anyway. Since the situation here is already under control, my staying here is redundant. It's better to let me go with you so I can have a good fight," Gu Nan said hastily.
"Nan Zi, don't act on impulse. There are so many people from the Dragon Tiger Gang here; if there isn't someone in charge, they will definitely try to strike back. If that happens, everything we just did will be in vain."
Gu Nan was speechless. After all, what Zhang Shan said was the current reality. So, his staying here was a settled matter.
"Alright, then you go, but you must be careful," Gu Nan patted Zhang Shan on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, there's no problem. Do you still not believe in my strength?"
Gu Nan took out a submachine gun and handed it to Zhang Shan. "I know you are very powerful, but you also need to cherish your life. Keep the gun safe."
Zhang Shan thought for a moment and took the submachine gun. Although he might not need these things, having it was better than not having it.
...
Inside a villa outside the city, Master Sun sat on the sofa, smiling at his butler.
"Tell me, do you think that Robinson could have guessed that I sent Tao Wei to capture him just as a diversion?"
The old man smiled and said, "I don't think he could have guessed. After all, we used Tao Wei to draw most of his attention. Since he dared to keep the appointment with only one person, it means that not only do we want to deal with him, but he also wants to deal with us. However, he didn't expect that we had a second plan."
Master Sun nodded with a grave expression. Yes, if they hadn't had a second plan, they would have been finished; the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Old man, tell me, in this battle between us and that kid, who will win?"
Thinking of his lackey reporting the formidable combat power of Zhang Shan and Gu Nan to him, he felt some doubts in his heart.
"That's something none of us can say for sure. Their strength is very powerful, but we are not weak either. Therefore, who wins or loses is still an unknown."
Previously, in Master Sun's mind, Zhang Shan was nothing more than a clown. He couldn't stir up any big waves at all, but often, it is these seemingly ordinary people who become the biggest threats.
But he hadn't realized that at the time. Now, it was useless to express regret. He could only accept reality.
