Supreme Rogue Play in Another World - Chapter 46 - Turning the Gun Around
Just then, a subordinate hurriedly ran upstairs, gasping for breath, and said, “Boss…Boss, Zhou Cang is back!”
“Huh? Why has he come back now?” Ge Long paused, setting the dagger aside and settling back into his chair. “Well, it’s good timing. Let’s save the pleasure of this swift cut for him!”
“Brother, why give it to someone else? If you won’t do it, I will. I need to vent my anger!” Ge Fei, agitated, picked up the dagger from the floor and was about to strike Run Tiancheng.
“Put it down!” Ge Long roared, his eyes bulging as he glared at Ge Fei. “Do you dare to disobey me?”
Grinding his teeth, Ge Fei glanced at Ge Long, then down at Run Tiancheng at his feet, cursed under his breath, threw the dagger aside, and stepped back behind Ge Long.
“Boss, you still don’t trust him?” Sun Hai whispered in Ge Long’s ear.
“One must always be wary. With Run Tiancheng, he always hesitates. If he could bring himself to finish Run Tiancheng off, then he’d be a reliable right-hand man in the future. If he can’t… then we might as well get rid of him sooner rather than later to avoid prolonged trouble,” Ge Long said ruthlessly.
Before long, Zhou Cang arrived with dozens of people. As he stepped onto the threshold of the third floor, he immediately saw Run Tiancheng lying weakened on the floor, and Hagen lying at the entrance of a private room.
His heart tightened, and he stepped forward to greet Ge Long, “Brother, I’m back! What happened here? Why is it so chaotic?”
Ge Fei nodded, “Oh, nothing much. This kid came up causing trouble, but it’s been handled. By the way, how did your task go?”
Zhou Cang grinned sheepishly, “Don’t worry, boss. With the thirty-two elites backing me, there wasn’t anything I couldn’t handle!” He glanced at Run Tiancheng on the floor, who was looking back at him with a dim and somewhat resentful gaze.
“By the way, Zhou Cang, your return is timely. Help me finish this guy off!” Ge Long finally issued the command, pointing to the dagger on the floor. “Use that dagger!”
“Ah? Me do it? Brother, this…” Zhou Cang began to hesitate.
“What’s the matter? Can’t do it? It’s not your first time killing someone, is it? Or is it because he was your former friend that you can’t bring yourself to do it?” Ge Long’s tone was laden with judgment.
“How could that be? I’ve long drawn a clear line between us, no ties left!” Zhou Cang glanced at the henchmen around him holding guns, frowned, picked up the dagger from the ground, and walked over to Run Tiancheng, saying, “Run Tiancheng, don’t blame me. If you are to blame anyone, blame yourself for overestimating your capabilities and angering Long-Ge. Sorry!” With that, he raised the dagger.
“Yes, do it. Let him go down to accompany his woman quickly, so she won’t be lonely down there alone!” Ge Fei shouted, enjoying the scene unfolding before him.
“What? His woman?” Zhou Cang was stunned, the dagger stopping mid-air as he turned and asked, “Fei-Ge, who are you talking about? Ouyang Jing?”
Ge Fei licked his lips and said, “Of course, that bitch. It’s a pity, really, she had a great figure. I won’t have the chance to touch those tender breasts anymore!” His eyes gleamed lewdly.
“I see now…” Zhou Cang nodded, finally understanding why Run Tiancheng had come here alone making trouble. He hadn’t realized so much had happened during the few days he was away from Xinyuan City.
“What are you doing? Go on!” Ge Long urged him incessantly.
Zhou Cang suddenly looked up at the thirty-two elites at the stairwell and said, “Brothers, if you were in a narrow corridor with twenty-nine people pointing guns at you, could you successfully take them down?”
A burly man with unkempt hair and a square face thought for a moment and confidently answered, “With our thirty-two, we could easily handle it, though we might lose a few brothers!”
“Twenty-nine people?” Ge Long was stunned, suddenly looking around; indeed, excluding himself, there were twenty-nine of his men in the corridor: “Zhou Cang, what are you planning?” he quickly demanded.
Zhou Cang ignored Ge Long’s question and continued speaking to the thirty-two men, “Listen up, brothers. If anyone dies here today, I’ll give five million for their family to settle down!”
The square-faced man slapped his chest, “Mr. Zhou has been good to us. Even if the young master doesn’t give a penny, our lives are yours, young master. Just say the word, and the thirty-two elites are with you, through thick and thin!” The thirty-one men behind him agreed, slapping their chests in unison.
“Good, thank you all so much!” Zhou Cang, filled with gratitude, then shouted sternly, “Thirty-two elites, at my command! Eliminate all the armed criminals, at all costs, and escort Run Tiancheng out safely. Capture Ge Long and his people immediately!”
This command shocked everyone present.
Ge Long stood with his mouth agape, unable to speak, his trembling finger pointing at Zhou Cang: “You… you’ve been acting all along!”
Zhou Cang helped Run Tiancheng to his feet, nodding at Ge Long with a smile, then whispered to Run, “Brother, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, Zhou Cang… What is this… It seems I was right all along; your actions were out of helplessness. Do you have any difficulties you’re struggling with?” Run Tiancheng felt a warmth in his heart.
“I’ll tell you the details later!” Zhou Cang smiled, and by then, the thirty-two elites had already formed a circle around them, creating a solid wall of flesh.
“Fire! Kill them!” Ge Long screamed hysterically.
Gunshots rang out continuously. The thirty-two elites used their bodies to block the bullets, and a few had already charged out, taking down everyone except Ge Long, Ge Fei, Sun Hai, and Scarface Four within seconds.
“Now it’s just you few left!” Zhou Cang, looking at the members of the thirty-two elites lying in pools of blood, was heartbroken. Tears swirled in his eyes, but he gritted his teeth and pulled out a handgun, pointing it at Ge Long.
“Humph, you think you can do anything to me? Don’t forget, even if I die, you can’t escape. Killing the son of the current municipal committee secretary and the candidate for the next one, do you think you’ll be safe? Not just you, even your father will spend his lifetime in prison! Moreover, the fact that you have killed remains true, and your hands are stained with blood!” Ge Long, truly a fearless leader, boldly faced Zhou Cang’s gun.
“No, I have never killed anyone!” Zhou Cang said calmly.
“Ha ha ha! No need to deny it, the moment you killed Xin Weng, I had already instructed Miao Wei to secretly record it!” Ge Long said proudly.
“It’s fake, what they saw was all fake. It was just a play we arranged with Xin Weng in advance. The bullets in that gun weren’t real at all. Xin Weng has already become a tainted witness for the police, and he should be sunbathing in Hawaii right now!” Zhou Cang smiled as he pulled out a pair of handcuffs from behind him: “I, Zhou Cang, acting director of the Xinyuan City police station, officially declare the arrest of Ge Long on charges of engaging in organized criminal activities, murder, drug trafficking, illegal possession of firearms, causing bodily harm, and bribery!”
Not only were Ge Long and the others stunned, but Run Tiancheng was too. He looked at Zhou Cang as if he were a stranger, puzzled by how everything had become so bizarre.
“Humph, to think that I, Ge Long, have weathered great storms and bullets, yet I failed to see your true face!” Ge Long actually laughed: “But as for those charges, I might only admit to illegal possession of firearms; the rest I refuse to acknowledge!”
