Chapter 264 The Victim

264

A carefully planned conspiracy ended in failure.

The Dog King of Jiangbei died in Jiangyuan City in the south of the Yangtze River. With his death, the entire Jiangbei will inevitably fall into chaos. One of his third princes died, the other two were deposed, and the four great kings lost their lives. After losing the leader, they will inevitably fight for the industry left by Chen Sangou. Jiangbei no longer has the power to fight against Xia Jiang, and Xia Jiang can finally wait for Lei Zhenhu’s recommendation with peace of mind. No one will stop him from taking it. Lower the blue flag.

As for the person behind the Dog King, Xia Jiang doesn't care. There are rules in the arena, and that person is not a person in the arena in the true sense. As long as that person dares to take revenge on Xia Jiang, the entire Chinese arena will not let him go. than that person.

A car left the Hilton Hotel. From the beginning to the end, no one else came to 1688, even if there was an explosion here before.

For the guests staying at the Hilton Hotel, today is an ordinary day. The explosion on the 16th floor was downplayed as a gas leak. As for those who died on the 16th floor, they were killed by the vehicles. He was sent away in a car, but no one knew where he went.

Those who did not die were also sent away from the hotel. Most of them were just working for others, and they would not really be in trouble. Except for the other two of the third princes who were more unlucky, those who followed Zeng Xuan Everyone who went upstairs was accommodated by Xia Jiang.

A total of five people died on the sixteenth floor.

One was Zeng Xuan, the other was Chen Sangou, and one of the three princes was killed in the explosion. The other two were Zeng Xuan's men. They were close to the center of the explosion and had been seriously injured. died.

At 8:30 in the evening, Lei Zhenhu arrived at the birthday banquet with the support of Lei Jiaying, and the banquet started not long after.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was very good. Everyone kept giving gifts and congratulating the old birthday star. As the organizer of the birthday banquet, Xia Jiang sat next to the old birthday star and was also greeted a lot.

Although the banquet was very lively, some people still noticed something was wrong.

There are many fewer managers around Xia Jiang, and Chen Sangou and his subordinates have also disappeared.

Many people knew about the old grudge between Xia Jiang and Chen Sangou. Chen Sangou's disappearance at this time was a bit strange, but no one mentioned it. Today's protagonist is Mr. Lei, not Chen Sangou.

Xu Taiping was not in the hotel. After Chen Sangou died, he went downstairs and pulled out the needle on his face. After his appearance returned to normal, he found Xia Jinxuan who was in shock. Without saying hello to Xia Jiang, he left with Xia Jinxuan. hotel.

When the banquet started, Xu Taiping and Xia Jinxuan had already arrived at Jiangyuan City Hospital.

Zhou Xiaoyu and Bao Ruifeng were both sent to this hospital and stayed in the same ward.

The pistol used by Song Huben was modified. It was not very powerful and the bullets were very destructive. They just stayed in the bodies of the two people. After a simple operation, the bullets were taken out. It only takes a while. You can recover quickly if you cultivate yourself.

The two people were lying on the hospital bed, and Xu Taiping was sitting in the middle of the two beds.

Zhou Xiaoyu's face was a little pale, while Bao Ruifeng had his eyes closed and didn't seem to want to speak.

"That's the general story of what happened." Xu Taiping said.

Zhou Xiaoyu's body was trembling slightly and her eyes were a little red.

"Those people who died just died like this? Zeng Xuan, did you just become cannon fodder?" Zhou Xiaoyu looked at Xu Taiping and said with a trembling voice. You could feel that he was very angry, but he did not dare to put this This kind of anger appeared in front of Xu Taiping, so he suppressed his anger.

"Yes." Xu Taiping nodded and said, "If you become cannon fodder, your death will be in vain."

"How can this be like this!" Zhou Xiaoyu finally couldn't help it anymore and roared angrily, "A manager, he said he was going to be cannon fodder, so he became cannon fodder? He was working for Boss Xia, how could Boss Xia just let him die like this? Is there no other way? Do we have to let him die?"

"There are always people who want to be cannon fodder." Xu Taiping said calmly, "If Boss Xia wants to win Chen Sangou's trust, he must have someone assassinate Lei Zhenhu. If Lei Zhenhu wants to deceive Chen Sangou, he must kill someone. Zeng Xuan's death, It lowered Chen Sangou’s vigilance and made Chen Sangou believe that everything was in his plan, so in the end, Chen Sangou died.”

"Why, why does it have to be like this? Boss Xia sent Zeng Xuan to the guillotine with his own hands. Zeng Xuan probably wouldn't have thought until he died that Boss Xia asked him to go and let him die. Wasn't it agreed upon? Are we all brothers? Isn't it said that good brothers should take care of each other? Is this how Boss Xia treats his brothers?" Zhou Xiaoyu asked with red eyes.

"Brother?" Xu Taiping smiled jokingly, glanced at Bao Ruifeng, and said, "Boss Bao, do you believe this?"

Bao Ruifeng opened his eyes, looked at the ceiling, and asked, "Do you believe it?"

"I believe it," Xu Taiping said, "but I don't believe in others, I only believe in myself."

"Xiaoyu, Jianghu, that's how it is." Bao Ruifeng sighed and said, "Jianghu is a place that eats people. Not only others will eat you, but your own people will also eat you. If you don't want to be eaten, you just have to It can make oneself stronger, if it were not for Taiping, perhaps Zeng Shen would not be the only one who could be used as cannon fodder this time."

Zhou Xiaoyu's body trembled violently, then looked at Xu Taiping and said, "Brother Xu, thank you."

"Boss Bao is right. In the world of martial arts, if you eat well and make a lot of money, you have to be prepared to be sacrificed. Although Boss Xia's approach is very cold-blooded, Zeng Shen also enjoyed his He has never enjoyed something before. If you want to blame him, you can only blame him for not having that life. I will burn some paper money for him later and don't go down this road again in the next life." Xu Taiping said.

"Brother Xu...I, I don't want to leave either." Zhou Xiaoyu looked at Xu Taiping and said, "I'm scared, I'm really scared. I can use a knife to chop at those who are against me, but I can't Accept death at the hands of your own people, Brother Xu, I think I will let you down."

"Now that we have embarked on this road, it is so easy to withdraw." Xu Taiping said, "If you want to withdraw, you can. Those people who have been bullied by you before, those enemies of our Pacific Group, do you think they will?" Let you go? You have the Taiya Group on your back now, and they can do nothing to you. However, as soon as you leave the Taiya Group, you will instantly become their prey. Why does Mr. Lei want to leave before he retreats? Boss Xia brought him up? So that someone can support him after he quits. Even if he is cleansed, he still has countless enemies. If he doesn't arrange someone to take over Blue Flag, then do you think he can sleep at night? Did you sleep well? This is the road. Once you walk on it, there is no turning back."

"Brother Xu..." Zhou Xiaoyu said with tears in her eyes, "Will one day you sacrifice me just like Boss Xia sacrificed Zeng Shen?"

"If there is such a day, yes." Xu Taiping said bluntly, "I am a very selfish person. If I can't protect myself, I will sacrifice anyone around me who can be sacrificed."

"Including me?" Xia Jinxuan asked from the side.

"You are more important than my life." Xu Taiping said with a smile.

Zhou Xiaoyu sat in despair, Xu Taiping's words pierced his heart and made him feel uncomfortable.

"If you don't want to be sacrificed, you have to make yourself valuable enough and become indispensable. Of course, if you really become my brother, then I will be willing to sacrifice myself for you. "Xu Taiping said, patted Zhou Xiaoyu's shoulder and said, "Don't think so much, just keep going and make your existence more meaningful, so that you won't be sacrificed casually."

"I, I understand, Brother Xu." Zhou Xiaoyu nodded and said, "I will definitely work hard to become an indispensable person around Brother Xu. Thank you, Brother Xu. You are willing to tell me this frankly, which proves that You are sincere to me and I thank you.”

"Recuperate well and rely on yourself for everything. You performed very well this time. After you recover from your injury, you are destined to be reused by Boss Xia. Maybe one day I will have to call you Brother Zhou." Xu Taiping said with a smile. .

"No matter what, Brother Xu, you will always be my boss." Zhou Xiaoyu said excitedly.

"Stop talking, I have to go to the hotel. When you two are discharged from the hospital, I will serve you drinks to welcome you." Xu Taiping said, pulling Xia Jinxuan out of the ward.

The two of them came downstairs hand in hand, and then got into Xia Jinxuan's red Mercedes-Benz smart.

Xu Taiping sat in the driver's seat, and Xia Jinxuan sat in the passenger seat.

"Is my dad really that cold-blooded?" Xia Jinxuan asked a question she had always wanted to ask after being silent for a long time.

"It's not that your dad is cold-blooded, it's his identity that makes him have to be like this. As long as you remember, even if your dad sacrifices someone, he will never sacrifice you, just like me." Xu Taiping said.

"I don't want you to become like my dad one day. I grew up with my dad in the martial arts world since I was a child. I know what the martial arts people are like. I really don't want you to become like them. For the purpose, No matter what the means," Xia Jinxuan said, holding Xu Taiping's hand tightly.

"Your dad and I are not the same kind of people." Xu Taiping smiled and touched Xia Jinxuan's head and said, "I am much smarter and stronger than your dad, so I can solve many things by myself without sacrificing others. .”

"Why are you smarter and better than my dad!?" Xia Jinxuan frowned, "My dad has always been the strongest in my heart, and you can only be ranked second!"

"Okay, okay, your dad is the best. Let's go back to the hotel." Xu Taiping started the car and drove to the hotel.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the Hilton Hotel.

Xu Taiping took Xia Jinxuan's hand and went directly to the banquet hall. At this time, the banquet hall was still drinking and drinking. Xu Taiping and Xia Jinxuan found someone to get two glasses, poured wine, and then walked to the main table.
