Muchuan and Xiang Wan - Chapter 282

Chapter 282: A Sudden Turn for the Worse

“This is bad!”

“I don’t feel right!”

Is there a need to get a vehicle to go into the warehouse?

That was not what they had expected.

They knew that Brother Steel suspected their identity.

But so far, Brother Steel did not want to turn hostile to them.

Especially in the present situation of Dark Clan, as long as he could play along with them, he would continue to play along. He would not turn hostile unnecessarily unless there was a good reason to.

But why did Brother Steel bring Huang He along? Would he turn hostile?

“Boss, what should we do?” Salimu was always the first to lose his composure in the team.

Bai Muchuan did not reply but smiled as he looked at the jeep that dived down the slope.

“Get ready for the fight!

“Execute the emergency plan!”

“Yes!”

They had made full preparations before coming here.

They had come up with several plans for this trip to meet Brother Steel…

After Bai Muchuan finished issuing the commands, he raised his wrist to look at the time and quickly put on the invisible earplugs.

“Tang Yuanchu! Emergency plan activated! Be careful and come to our aid!”

“Got it!”

When the four of them entered the villa, Tang Yuanchu was outside together with the vehicle.

After that, Bai Muchuan took another look at the jeep and called Captain Zhang.

“Old Zhang, there’s a change of plans!”

“You gotta hold on, Old Bai, we’ll be there soon!”

Captain Zhang’s tone sounded a little flustered.

“D*mmit!” he shouted suddenly.

He hurled a profanity as if he got triggered by something.

“Hurry up and get more people to help out to move that boulder away.”

A boulder had rolled down from the mountains and obstructed the road, blocking their path toward where Brother Steel’s villa was located.

Bai Muchuan heard Captain Zhang’s instructions to his men. He consoled him through the phone with a sneer on his face.

“Old Zhang,” he said calmly, “Brother Steel’s vehicle is a remodeled Hummer, take down the car plate number—”

After he calmly gave the information, he was like a commander.

“Inform the respective units to immediately set up roadblocks to catch these people. Don’t let anyone of them escape!”

Captain Zhang agreed and asked again, “How’s your situation there? Is everything okay?”

“No problem!”

Bai Muchuan hung up the phone slowly.

At that moment, Brother Steel’s jeep had dashed down the hill and stopped in front of them.

At the back seat of the jeep, two gunmen were holding a rifle each as they stood up in unison from the top window.

Both rifles had their muzzles aimed at Bai Muchuan’s head.

“Brother Steel, what’s this for?” Bai Muchuan’s voice had a laughing tone.

“What’s this for? You still don’t get it?” Brother Steel was now very different in his attitude towards them.

He didn’t stick his head out of the jeep, but his voice was clear and recognizable. “Even till now, are you still going to tell me that you’re the Crown Prince that was introduced by Brother Six?”

Bai Muchuan’s eyes swept a glance at Huang He who was beside Brother Steel and put on a smile.

“If I say so, will you believe me?”

“In the beginning, I do believe you,” Brother Steel said, gritting his teeth. “Even though that woman said you’re the police, I still chose to believe in you. I thought my eyes wouldn’t lie to me. Brother Six told me before… Crown Prince used to be a detective! In the end… d*mn you… you told me you are Crown Prince? Hahaha? Who is he then? Tell me! Who is he?”

He pointed at Huang He who was sitting quietly beside him. Brother Steel seemed to be infuriated for the veins on his face could even be seen.

“Bai Muchuan, you sure have guts! You dare to bring only a few people with you to intrude my territory and seek your doom?”

He even knew his name already.

There was no point saying anything more.

Bai Muchuan did not look at Brother Steel but stared at Huang He instead.

“You betrayed me?”

“I’m sorry—” Huang He sounded apathetic from the speaker of the jeep. “I’ve no choice!”

“No choice…?” A very good reason!” Bai Muchuan smiled at him, his gaze was deep. “So in the future, we won’t be brothers anymore! Huang He, from now on, you’re on your own—”

Huang He did not reply.

Only the mountain winds were as though sobbing in waves.

“Captain Bai,” yelled Brother Steel, “frankly speaking, you’re worth a lot of money. I really can’t bear to end your life like this! Tell me—do you want to surrender or have a taste of my bullets?”

Hur!

Bai Muchuan raised his eyebrows and asked him casually, “If your bullets are powerful, why are you hiding inside the jeep?”

“Hahaha!” Brother Steel sneered shamelessly, “It’s because my jeep is—bulletproof! Hahahaha!”

Bai Muchuan was looking at him quietly as well.

Bang!

Bang!

Suddenly, there were two sounds of gunshots.

Nobody saw how Bai Muchuan and Tu Liang fired the gunshots. They only knew that blood had splattered at the back seat of the jeep.

The heads of both gunmen were hit, blood flowed down from the jeep to the ground.

The two gunmen were killed on the spot.

By this time, the four of them quickly retreated to a corner of the backyard, behind a pile of construction waste…

“Ding Yifan!” Bai Muchuan growled in a low tone.

“Yes! Boss, here—”

Ding Yifan quickly opened the briefcase he had been carrying.

There was not a single cent in there.

It was a briefcase full of weapons that emitted a merciless feel to it.

“Brothers! Fight!”

Booom! A grenade flew out and exploded.

Bai Muchuan took the disintegrated assault rifle from the briefcase and assembled it in the fastest speed he could before he fired fiercely at the members of the Dark Clan who were closing in on them.

“We are the police! If you don’t want to die, back off—”

…

Back in Nanmu.

The curtains in the hotel were so thick as though it had separated the room from reality.

Inside the room, it was very dim.

The quilt on the bed bulged slightly.

Xiang Wan slept like a silkworm pupa wrapped in its cocoon.

As it turned out, it was easy to get muddled after one woke up and went back to sleep.

When she woke up, she was in a daze.

Ding! She received a notification.

Xiang Wan took her mobile phone and looked at the message.

“My dear cousin, I’m here in Xi City now. Wow, the weather here is really nice~”

Fang Yuanyuan arrived in Xi City.

Didn’t she say she will only be coming over during the weekend? Is this Saturday already? She thought.

Bai Muchuan just left this morning? How long have I slept?

Xiang Wan’s brain was confused. She replied to Fang Yuanyuan, “Okay, do enjoy yourself.”

Then, she got up to wash up.

Not long after, she heard someone knocking on her door…

Someone’s here?

Bai Muchuan had told her before that she must not open the door recklessly.

Xiang Wan held her breath. She walked out of the bathroom and walked to the door.

“Who’s that?” she asked.

No one answered.

Inside the room, it somehow felt chilly.

Xiang Wan stood for quite a while but there was still no response from outside.

… Did she hear wrongly?

Xiang Wan used the peephole to check if there was anyone outside.

Nobody was outside.

It was empty along the corridor.

She shuffled her slippers and went back to bed, covering the quilt over her.

How warm! It felt so comfortable under the quilt.

She felt so tired. I feel like sleeping again, she thought to herself, being alone is too lonely, time passes faster when one is asleep.

And so, she fell asleep seemingly in a daze.

She really did seem to have fallen asleep.

Creak!

She felt a gust of wind.

No! It was the door. It was opened.

Someone seemed to have come into her room and walked to the bed.

Bai Muchuan? Has Bai Muchuan come back?

Xiang Wan wanted to ask and wanted to shout, but her throat seemed dry and hoarse; she was unable to make even a sound and her body could not move at all.

…
