Chapter 389 Taking the Bait
That night.
Yu Lian sat on the edge of the bed, silently gazing into the courtyard by the thin moonlight that blanketed the sky. The entire courtyard, including the house, was eerily quiet; not even the sound of the wind outside could be heard.
They waited and waited, everyone focusing their attention on the task at hand, staying up until the wee hours of the morning.
Just as everyone relaxed, someone started throwing small stones into the courtyard from outside, one after another, very quickly. He Lin realized that the group was testing whether the people inside were asleep. Fortunately, they didn't notice anything amiss. Shortly after throwing the stones, several people quickly scaled the wall and entered the courtyard. Little did they know, the moment they landed, the gate quietly opened a crack.
"Boss, there seems to be no one in this courtyard," Zhao Hu whispered in Jiang Dongguo's ear. Jiang Dongguo nodded.
"Watch out, don't get spotted, all of you be alert." He strode stealthily toward the northeast corner of the yard. There were some odds and ends piled up there, along with a patch of unpaved dirt. The men immediately picked up tools and began digging a pit. Once they buried the body and spread the rumors, their mission would be complete, and they would be set for life with more money than they could ever spend.
To avoid being discovered, they moved extremely slowly, even digging with finesse, and would panic at the slightest disturbance.
Zhao Hu accidentally yawned, then quickly suppressed it. He looked awkwardly at Jiang Dongguo and grinned sheepishly, "Sorry, boss, I was so engrossed in my work that I forgot."
Jiang Dongguo glared at him but said nothing. After all, it was late at night, and most people were asleep. Plus, he had been pulling several all-nighters recently, so it was normal to be tired. He glanced at the two men working: "Be alert, both of you. If there's any disturbance, get your gear ready. The ropes are all tied up, so hurry up. We'll just climb over the wall and run. There's a car waiting for us at the alley entrance."
Having said that, Jiang Dongguo also joined the digging team. The three of them worked hard and finally finished digging the pit. Just as they were about to place the bones, several birds chirped in the sky, their cacophony sending chills down their spines. They looked up at the same time and saw two birds circling overhead, showering down tiny beads of dust.
Zhao Hu couldn't hold back any longer and shone his flashlight upwards. Two black birds were carrying a small cloth bag in their beaks; the bag had a hole in it, and its contents were falling out. Jiang Dongguo was about to tell them to be patient, that it was nearing the end, nothing serious, and they could just bear with it.
The next second, they heard hurried footsteps outside the door, and it was a large group of people.
Someone shouted, "A bird has flown into this yard! Knock on the door!"
Before they could react, the three were struck directly by the beams of more than a dozen flashlights. A group of people swarmed towards them. Zhao Hu didn't have time to run, and neither did Jiang Dongguo. The first to escape was Liu Er, the henchman who had been working diligently. Hearing the commotion, Liu Er dropped all his weapons, grabbed a rope, and scaled the wall to escape.
But the others weren't so lucky. They weren't captured, but rather crammed into this small corner by a group of people. Everyone was looking down, searching for something, and the scene became chaotic. Then someone noticed something was wrong and shouted, "There's a dead body here!"
Many people fled in panic, but soon, for the sake of the gold, a few mustered their courage and looked back, only then slowly realizing that something was wrong.
Jiang Dongguo and Zhao Hu were subsequently detained. Although the two had been in the underworld for a long time and had some self-defense skills, they were outnumbered—there were at least thirty people in the courtyard, many of whom were young and strong.
Zhao Hu initially thought they had been caught, but when he was taken outside, he realized they had been mistaken for gold thieves. That afternoon, the middle-aged man who kept birds suddenly announced: anyone caught trying to hide gold would be rewarded ten times the price of gold, as long as they brought the person to the police station. With such a lucrative opportunity, everyone agreed to split the money equally.
I thought it was a false alarm, but when I got to the alley entrance, the people who should have packed up their stalls long ago were now sitting there, surrounded by bright lights. Someone had lit a large fire with an iron bucket, and the flickering flames reflected on my face, making me squint uncomfortably.
Zhao Hu hurriedly explained, "We didn't steal any gold. If you don't believe me, search us. If we didn't take any, please let us go immediately."
The middle-aged man glanced at the two people who had been brought in, one of whom was arrogant and hadn't said a word so far.
"Brother, we really didn't steal it," Zhao Hu said again.
Jiang Dongguo finally spoke, shouting, "Idiot, shut up!"
Anyone with a brain could see that something was amiss. However, they had no evidence; they hadn't stolen or robbed anyone.
"You have fifteen minutes to think it over and let us go. Otherwise, you'll be in for a world of hurt in half an hour."
Although Jiang Dongguo didn't want this to happen, he was a cautious man and had made preparations well in advance. Dozens of his brothers were waiting for him at the agreed location; if he didn't arrive, they would act immediately.
Have you ever heard the saying, "Swords have no eyes"?
The middle-aged man took off his sunglasses, revealing an extremely handsome face. It was now clear they had indeed fallen for his trap.
"Boss, do you want me to say something?"
The man glanced at him, then looked at a spot not far behind him.
Jiang Dongguo and Zhao Hu both wanted to see what was behind them, but they were held tightly by several strong men and couldn't move at all.
"No need, I'll do it."
Only when they clearly saw Yu Lian's face did Jiang Dongguo and Zhao Hu begin to panic. However, in their confusion, Jiang Dongguo silently estimated the probability of escaping that night. Upon discovering that there were only a dozen or so people on the other side, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his attitude and tone returned to their previous arrogant manner.
"If there's anything wrong, go talk to the police. Do you think the boss of a big company can take matters into his own hands and resort to vigilante justice?"
Yu Lian didn't speak at first, just silently watching him, lost in thought. After a long while, she finally spoke incredulously, "So arrogant? Oh~ I know, you're thinking about your thirty-two brothers, aren't you?"
Even though Yu Lian's tone wasn't sarcastic, these words were still an insult and a provocation to a man like Jiang Dongguo. He hadn't expected that his last resort—the red string hanging from his body—was actually an extremely sharp dagger.
Taking advantage of everyone's momentary lapse in attention, he unleashed a burst of strength and plunged the dagger fiercely into Yu Lian.
