Chapter 552 - Biting The Hook
It was evident that Ah Dong was giving them a warning.
«Although I can help you talk to our bosses, the rules of our camp are quite strict. If you don’t follow the rules, nobody will be able to help you.”
Jiang Liushi didn’t say anything, but Jiang Zhuying showed an expression of disdain. They had experienced plenty of battles, and such a camp was unworthy in their eyes. Therefore, none of them cared about such a trivial warning or felt intimidated.
Ah Dong was annoyed by the lack of response, but he recovered swiftly. Then, he smiled and added, “I’ll try to introduce you to our leader. He is quite interested in survivors’ teams that come from outside. He can answer all of your questions. Follow behind me.”
“No.” Unexpectedly, Jiang Liushi refused Ah Dong’s invitation. They had not come to pay a visit to Ah Dong’s bosses or the leader.
Ah Dong felt confused, but he kept smiling. “Since it’s like that, I’ll go to report. Our leader will come back to meet you.” Then, he winked at his teammates.
“I will go with you,” said Xia Shasha excitedly.
“No problem.” Ah Dong didn’t stop her, and they entered.
Jiang Liushi asked after they all left, “Xiyu, what do you think about this Ah Dong?”
“Brother Jiang, I think that you don’t need my advice on this matter. You should already have your answer,” replied Ran Xiyu.
“You’re right. Ah Dong isn’t a simple man, and he’s full of wicked ideas,” said Jiang Liushi. In truth, he didn’t really care. All Jiang Liushi wanted was to get information. If they had any funny ideas, he was more than happy to test his strength on them.
Currently, Ah Dong and Xie Shasha were inside. The factory’s interior was complex and divided into many areas. In one of the rooms, a tall serious-looking man was sitting on a sofa. His body was full of tattoos, which made him look fierce. A beast’s tooth was also hanging around his neck like a necklace. He was so intimidating that nobody dared to look him in the eyes.
Ah Dong walked and stood before that man, bowing respectfully. “Brother Xie.”
Xie Shasha also became polite and said, “Brother.”
Xie Feng looked up and glanced at Ah Dong, “Good job. You brought Shasha back in one piece.”
“It’s my pleasure,” replied Ah Dong.
“But why are you still standing here? What’s the matter?” asked Xie Feng.
Ah Dong hesitated for a moment, but he said what was in his mind, “I heard from the other bosses that we’ve received a secret order to capture a runaway criminal, but I’m not sure…” Then, he carefully observed Xie Feng’s expression as under normal circumstances he shouldn’t have heard a conversation between the bosses.
Xie Feng asked with a sneer, “It’s true but none of your business. Why are you asking? You’d better not have any funny ideas.”
Upon hearing that, Ah Dong forced out a smile. “How would I dare to do something like that? I asked because we met a group of people and felt that they are the wanted criminals.”
The moment Xie Feng heard that, he stared at Ah Dong. “Really? Are you sure?”
“The words Shi Ying were on their plates,” answered Ah Dong.
“Wonderful!” Xie Feng became excited, while Xie Shasha got nervous. “Ah Dong, stop spouting nonsense. Brother, that is the one that rescued me. Ah Dong could not protect me at all. How could they be a group of wanted criminals?”
“Shasha, can you please tell us the captain’s name?” asked Ah Dong with a wicked smile.
Xie Shasha hesitated because her next words could seal Jiang Liushi’s fate. Xie Feng stared at her like an eagle and ordered, “Tell me!”
Xie Shasha was quite familiar with the expression on Xie Feng’s face. Every time he was about to kill someone, that expression would appear on his face. Naturally, Xie Shasha was intimidated and scared. She didn’t dare to lie. “He’s called Jiang Liushi…”
“Jiang Liushi? Yes, it’s him!” Xie Feng smiled.
“Bother Xie, they are in our camp. Although I recognized them, I tried not to raise suspicions and led them here,” explained Ah Dong.
Xie Shasha had never expected that Ah Dong would be such a scheming and despicable person.
Xie Feng roared in laughter. “The news about the rewards of caching the criminals has been sent everywhere. They are a fat sheep! Initially, we didn’t stand a chance to catch them, but who could have thought that they’d come knocking on our door?” Xie Feng felt as if it was raining money from heaven.
“Excellent, you did a good job!” Xie Feng praised Ah Dong.
Ah Dong revealed a smile, but he controlled his feelings. “It’s my great pleasure to be of help to Brother Xie.” In Ah Dong’s mind, Xie Feng could even give him Xie Shasha if he played his cards right. As long as he and Xie Shasha became a couple, Xie Feng would become his backer. To this end, Ah Dong would like to thank Jiang Liushi.
“Brother… What are planning to do?” asked Xie Shasha nervously,
“I’ll kill him of course!” answered Xie Feng in a low voice.
“No, please don’t.” Xie Shasha was almost scared to death and tried to convince him. “Please, let me try and invite him to join us. If he joins, you won’t have to kill him, right?”
Ah Dong sneered at the side. In his mind, Xie Shasha was a naive girl that had yet to understand the post-apocalyptic world’s cruel rules.
Xie Feng didn’t answer, but he just glanced at her. His cold eyes made Xie Shasha’s body tremble in fear, and she stopped talking.
“Where are they?” asked Xie Feng.
“I’ve invited them to enter, but they refused to get down of their bus. They sent me to invite you to meet them,” said Ah Dong.
Xie Feng smiled and said, “Since they want us to meet them, then we can only oblige.”
“Go call Wang Laosan and Chen Biexue,” ordered Xie Feng, stunning Ah Dong.
Wang Laosan and Chen Biexue were the other two bosses of the camp. Among them, Chen Biexue could be ranked as the second most powerful in the camp. In Ah Dong’s mind, Xie Feng was enough to fight against Jiang Liushi. He could not help but wonder why they wanted to use a sledgehammer on a little fly,
Xie Feng tapped the sofa’s armrest with his finger. “According to the report we got, the Shi Ying Squad is powerful. We need to kill them swiftly, or unexpected problems may arise.” When a lion struck a rabbit, it would do it with its full strength.
Xie Shasha fell into despair. Chen Biexue was a murderous butcher, well-known for torturing his opponents. Although Xie Shasha didn’t know the scope of Jiang Liushi’s strength, she could feel that he was not as strong as her brother.
In Xie Shasha’s mind, the Shi Ying Squad would suffer a lot. In this post-apocalyptic world, miracles were non-existent.
