Lawless Gangster

Chapter 77

***

The position that Li Shi Qing and Yan Ming stood allowed them to take in the whole scene all at once.

In the split second that everything happened, the person that was supporting Lu Wu from behind, reached his hand out to touch his neck before he started to slowly collapsed. Chen Wu—who was standing beside him—immediately raised his hand. Since he has a tall physique, even his slight movement could be seen by everyone present. With his signal, someone suddenly revealed a weapon, and the sound bang, bang, bang, along with a burst of urgent screams resonated. As quickly as it happened, it ended with seven or eight people collapsed in a pool of blood.

The last remaining people were not in the least surprised and instead appeared to have long expected this scene.

Li Shi Qing had already figured it out while Yan Ming and Ah Long, who stood beside him, were horrified by this sudden change of event that they could not utter a sound for a short while.

After Lu Wu collapsed, the person that had supported him a moment ago, now held onto him while shouting, "Wu Ye! Wu Ye!" Then he lifted his head to look at Chen Wu, and although his voice was pressed with panic, but the expression in his eyes carried a sense of awareness that seemed to smile. "Chen Wu, Wu Ye is dying!"

"What's going on?" Chen Wu asked with severity.

"It's poisoned!" That person answered, "Wu Ye has been poisoned!"

Rather than saying anything, Chen Wu simply lifted his eyes and looked over at Yan Ming.

"Poisoned?" he said, "Who did Wu Ye come in contact with a moment ago?"

There were no emotions in those eyes as it remained on Yan Ming who was like a deer in the headlight. Both of his legs stiffed, locking him place before he spoke, "I...this situation......it had nothing to do with me......"

"What do you mean it has nothing to do with you?" Chen Wu sneered, "You're not only an expert in using poison and drugs but also the last person to be in close contact with Wu Ye. If it's not you, who else could it be?" He waved his hand, "Seize him to avenge Wu Ye!"

When Yan Ming saw some people rushing toward him, he immediately pushed Li Shi Qing forward and ran toward Li Shi Qing's car but just as he pulled the door open, someone grabbed his arm and threw him to the ground. He struggled with all his might but to no avail as he was no match for four pairs of hands holding him down; quickly he was subdued by Chen Wu's men.

"How unexpected," Chen Wu crossed both his arms and looked at Yan Ming who had been pushed to stand in front of him. "From the surface, you appeared to have surrender to Wu Ye but you actually had an ulterior motive and poisoned him to death!"

By now, Yan Ming has already known that he has been completely tricked and death was inevitable. He boldly stood up and let out a hearty laugh, "Okay, okay...if I, Yan Ming, am able to be Haozhu[1] Chen's scapegoat, than it is a worthy dead!"

Chen Wu looked at him blankly and waited for his laughter to come to a halt before he faintly said, "Who said I want you to die?"

Yan Ming instantly stared in shock.

The corner of Chen Wu's mouth pulled back, exposing a smile. "I heard that you don't take drugs, is that true?"

Yan Ming turned pale with fright and struggled to get free, "What do you want to do? Chen Wu! Don't be so overbearing!"

"What is overbearing?" Chen Wu laughed cynically and asked, "I want to lock you up and make you become a drug addict then release you while announcing that the murderer who has poisoned our Wu Ye to death has escaped, and the one that captures him will be greatly rewarded. Yan Ming, is this considered overbearing?"
