Chapter 49: The Yellow Dragon Assembly Old Three

  My aunt and her family were all at home, so after introducing Sun Heng to my uncle and aunt, I directly introduced him to my cousin.

  Her cousin is already thirty years old, so she doesn't think like those little girls who are shy. She directly asked Sun Heng: "Are you serving in the army or working?"

  Sun Heng's response was even more direct: "I am a soldier!"

  The sister didn't say anything else, and Sun Heng also remained silent. They just looked at each other like that, as if they both wanted to see something in the other's eyes.

  I found the scene a bit awkward, so I smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, Sun Heng is my elder brother, he saved my life before, he's really not bad, it's just that he's not very good at dealing with women, you should take the initiative."

  My sister-in-law looked at me and smiled: "The person you introduced, I still trust very much. However, to truly understand each other, we need a long time of contact. Sun Heng is a soldier, and I have my own work, so the opportunities for us to get to know each other are rare, so..."

  I saw my cousin was about to say no, so I quickly said: "That's easy. Sun Heng is an officer now, he can take his family to the troops. Why don't you and Sun Heng go to the troops together after the New Year to get to know each other better and also experience the military style? It's a win-win situation!"

  Sister was taken aback, then looked at Sun Heng: "Is what Jin Cang said really possible? Can I also go to the troops for a few days?"

  Sun Heng nodded: "No problem, if you want to go, I'll take care of it."

  My older cousin thought for a moment with her head down, then nodded: "Alright, I'll go with you to your army unit and stay for a few days."

  Sun Heng was overjoyed and hastily gestured to me, wanting me and my aunt and uncle to go talk. So I nodded and told them about the situation. My aunt and uncle had been worried sick about my cousin's marriage, and now that they saw such a good opportunity, they naturally didn't say much and thought it was a good thing, expressing their support.

  So I took the opportunity to suggest that my cousin come to my home for a few days, and naturally, my aunt and uncle agreed. So Sun Heng and I went to my cousin's house, and on the way back, we became three people. I deliberately walked ahead of time, leaving Sun Heng and my cousin to slowly walk and talk towards my home.

  My home is only a little more than two highways away from my cousin's house, so it takes about ten or twenty minutes to walk. So I quickly arrived at a place just one small hill away from my home. At this time, I felt a bit urgent to urinate, so I found a quiet place behind me and prepared to relieve myself.

  This small hill is covered with a uniform color of pine trees. In the heavy snow, many branches of the pine trees were pressed very low, forming many natural "umbrellas" that just happened to block pedestrians on the road. So I went in and prepared to solve my private problems on the spot.

  The pine trees grew very densely, and the space between each tree was barely enough to let you through. I found a relatively spacious place to relieve myself, then planned to leave the pine forest.

  Just at that moment, I heard a sound coming from my right side, as if someone was walking inside and making the noise. I thought it was the old villager hunting in the woods, so I followed the sound to see what's going on.

  As the saying goes, "Curiosity kills," and this time I was really killed by my curiosity. I just walked a few steps towards the sound, feeling something was wrong, and then saw a black muzzle and the person holding it.

  He pointed his gun at me and said, "Don't move! If you move, I'll kill you!"

  I didn't dare to move, standing in the woods, staring at the tall man with a gun. The big man was very tall, almost a head taller than me, I estimated he was at least 1.9 meters tall. Moreover, this big man had a sturdy build, with thick muscles all over his face, and a scar on his face, looking like someone who had been struggling on the edge of life and death for a long time. The gun in his hand was a Type 54 pistol, which is still equipped by our troops.

  I secretly regretted entering this pine forest, and I also secretly blamed myself for being too careless. In fact, there were footprints everywhere in the snowy ground, but I just didn't notice them.

  The big Han looked at me carefully for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing: "What good luck, I actually found you. Jin Cang, this time you can't escape."

  I was taken aback, and then I thought of a possibility: this person had come specifically to find me, he must be from the Wanlong Society. So I asked him, "Are you from the Wanlong Society?"

  The big Han nodded, with a smug expression: "I am a member of the Huanglong Society under the Wanjing Association, my name is Lao San. Jin Cang, you are now worth five million, and falling into my hands is also your last contribution to us... No, not contribution, but atonement. You little brat killed so many of our people, this time falling into my hands is also what you deserve."

  I laughed: "How can you be so sure I'm Jin Cang?"

  Dahan Lao San was taken aback, then sneered: "If you're not Jin Cang, then I must be blind. To tell you the truth, everyone in the Wan Long Society has a copy of your photo, it's hard to not recognize you."

  I'm still laughing: "Then as the third master of Huanglong Society, after killing me, will you get five million?"

  Lao San was taken aback again, furrowing his brow: "This... doesn't matter, whether you have money or not, I'll still kill you to avenge those people you've harmed."

  I still smiled and said: "Isn't Huanglonghui a department that specializes in managing the economy? How did you end up coming to find me? Are you short of money?"

  Lao San sneered: "Less nonsense, what does it have to do with you whether I'm short of money or not?"

  I shook my head: "Think about it, if you kill me, you might not get anything. But if you let someone else kill me, you might be able to get half of the 5 million, which is 2.5 million."

  Lao San was stunned, and it wasn't until much later that he said: "No wonder even the White Tiger was caught by you. It turns out you're really a very cunning person. To be honest with you, although I'm from the Yellow Dragon Association, after killing you, I can still get the money. You don't need to think of ways to trick me anymore."

  I let out a wry smile: "Do you know that the secret base of the Wanlong Society in the mountain mine tunnels has been discovered by the country? All the money and supplies have been confiscated. Even if you kill me, you won't be able to get your hands on the money."

  Lao San was taken aback, and immediately became angry: "How did you know? Don't try to cheat me!" As he spoke, he raised the pistol in his hand.

  "I quickly said: 'If you don't believe it, you can find a place to watch TV news. Most people already know about this now, the news has been broadcast for a long time.'"

  Lao San's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, then slowly put down the gun in his hand, looking at me and saying: "I'll temporarily believe you this once. Now tell me, is the thing in your hand still in your hand?"

  I felt strange: "What are you talking about?"

  Lao San's face changed, and he raised his gun again, saying angrily: "Don't pretend to be stupid! You took something very important from our Wanlong Association, and you still dare to play dumb with me. Speak quickly, or I'll shoot you dead right now."

  I had no idea what he was talking about and couldn't help but say loudly: "I have no idea what you're even talking about, how can I give it to you?"

  Lao San furrowed his brow: "I received a notice from the Qinglong Society more than a month ago, saying that the most important thing of our Wàn Lóng Huì was stolen by you. Could the intelligence of the Qinglong Society be wrong? This is impossible."

  "I gritted my teeth and said, 'I don't know what you're talking about, nor have I ever taken anything from the Wanlong Society. I was captured by you as a hostage, without even freedom, how could I possibly come into contact with your important things? Think carefully, is this all just a misunderstanding? Besides, now the Wanlong Society is already on the verge of collapse. There are only a few of you left outside, what's the point of desperately searching for something that's already gone?"

  Lao San angrily said: "Isn't that all because of you? You stinky traitor, it's all because of you that our Wan Long Society was destroyed... How dare you speak to me like this? Believe it or not, I'll blow your brains out with one shot!"

  I couldn't help but shrink my neck and saw Lao San really about to fire the gun, hurriedly shouting: "Wait a minute."

  Lao San had already put his finger on the trigger, and with a relaxed tone, he said: "Afraid of death? What's the point of begging for mercy now? If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have fart to let out, let it out quickly!"

  "My mind racing, I quickly said: 'Is it just about the money? I have some, how much do you want? Give me a number and I'll give it to you right away.'"

  Lao San was taken aback, then burst out laughing: "You really are a sly guy. If I believed you had money to give me, I wouldn't be talking so much with you. Let me tell you, I know all about your family situation, and I've inquired about it clearly. Although your parents are quite capable and relatively wealthy in this regard, the amount of money you have is still not worth my attention. Humph, a whole family's annual income is less than 10,000 yuan, even if you didn't eat or drink, how much could you save?"

  I know what he said is true, my parents' annual income all added up is only a few thousand yuan, and even I have to ask others for money when I go to school. This amount of money really can't enter Lao San's eyes.

  But Lao San didn't know that I and Li Huanhuan found 120 million yuan in the secret base of Wanlong Club.

  I had planned to tell Lao San the origin of this money in exchange for his mercy. But when it came down to it, I changed my mind: "Our family really doesn't have any money, and even if you kill me, you won't gain anything, but instead will be wanted by the police, or even hunted down by the military, what's the point? Why not just pretend you never saw me and go back to report?"

  Lao San was so angry that his face turned dark, he raised his gun and was about to shoot, shouting loudly: "You scoundrel Jin Cang, I won't kill you today, it's all because of you! Come and surrender..."

  I closed my eyes, never expecting Lao San to be so impatient. I could only wait for death. The gunshot was crisp and clear in my ears, and I felt that I was done for.

  In this world, at this moment everything stopped, and it seemed like my breathing also stopped. But how come I didn't feel any pain? Was I already dead, so I couldn't feel the pain?

  But then why can I still hear a sound - a very urgent footstep.

  I hastily opened my eyes, and saw Lao San lying in front of me, with a small hole on his forehead, and fresh blood was still slowly flowing out. On the snowy ground, there was already a large patch of bloodstains, the bright red bloodstains were slowly getting bigger, spreading slowly along the ground.

  The voice I heard was not that one, but Sun Heng who rushed in hastily from behind me. Sun Heng's face was very pale, and he still held a rifle in his hand.

  It wasn't until then that I realized it was Sun Heng who had saved me. He shot and killed Lao San just before Lao San opened fire, saving me in the process.

  Sun Heng looked at Old Three who was lying on the ground and made sure he was dead before turning to me and saying, "Jin Cang, are you okay?"

  I shook my head: "You saved me again this time, it was really close, I almost got beaten to death. By the way, where's my cousin? Weren't you together?"

  Sun Heng said with a lingering fear: "Your cousin has left. Just now we heard you talking to Lao San, and I guessed that something had happened to you. In my anxiety, I could only let your cousin go back first, and then I called Li Huanhuan to bring me a rifle... The guns in your hands are very good, all of them are brand new."

  I knew I couldn't hide it from Sun Heng, so I said: "That's right, the Wanlong Society has collected countless wealth over the years. Buying a few new guns is nothing. If you like it, I'll give it to you. By the way, you mentioned that Li Huanhuan gave you a gun? Where is she?"

  Sun Heng turned his head and looked at a pine tree not far away, pointing: "Guard over there. Is this... a person from the Wanlong Society? How did you find this place? How did you get brought here?"

  I feel a bit embarrassed: "I thought it would be convenient to come here, but I didn't expect to run into the third elder of the Huanglong Society under the Wanjun Association and get trapped here. If you hadn't arrived in time, I might have died here."

  Sun Heng picked up the Type 54 pistol that had fallen on the snowy ground, looked at it and said, "It's a good gun, but unfortunately it was used by the Wanlong Society to kill innocent people."

  I was frightened, but I managed to stand still and spoke to Sun Heng: "Your marksmanship is really good, when can you teach me? I also want to be able to protect myself."

  Sun Heng said without hesitation, "Well, now is a good time. Anyway, there's no one here and we have to wait for the police to arrive. During this period of time, I'll teach you how to use a gun. You're right, at least you should learn some self-defense skills!"

  So I started learning how to shoot under Sun Heng's guidance, with the rifle Li Huanhuan sent over and Lao San's handgun.

  I had contact with handguns and rifles during military training in high school and college, so I learned quickly and was able to aim and shoot on my own soon. Sun Heng taught very carefully, and I also studied very carefully, and soon forgot about Lao San's affairs, focusing solely on learning shooting skills.

  Time slowly passed, and an hour later I heard the sound of a helicopter coming from the sky. I stopped practicing shooting, looked up at the helicopter that was gradually approaching in the sky, and said to Sun Heng: "Did you call the police? The police arrived so quickly?"

  Sun Heng nodded and smiled, "I reported the police with my ID number, how dare they not come quickly? Last time those policemen who colluded with Wan Long were all caught, the new Public Security Bureau director is an old subordinate of Old Chen, also considered as my junior fellow apprentice, he wouldn't dare not to send people over to handle this matter quickly?"

  I nodded: "That old three was beaten to death, will I also have to go to the Public Security Bureau to clarify the situation?"

  Sun Heng frowned and said, "Later you can tell my junior brother about the situation, and we can take care of the written record here. The New Year is approaching, it's icy and snowy outside, and it's so far away, your parents will worry if you go to the Public Security Bureau. Besides, the people from Wanlonghui were killed by me, even if you went, you wouldn't be able to explain clearly, so let me replace you in going to the Public Security Bureau."

  I feel that this is not proper: "How can this be? You go alone, it's better if we go together, at least there will be someone to take care of you..."

  "Don't worry, the country has been vigorously rectifying the police force over the past few months, and it's already different from a few months ago. The current Public Security Bureau will no longer sell out its own people for money."

  I had my doubts, but seeing Sun Heng's determination, I said no more.

  The helicopter landed in a field about 200 meters away from the small hill, and then three police officers were seen walking down.

  As the police approached, I found that two of the three people were special police officers, and one was wearing casual clothes, looking majestic. When he saw Sun Heng, he burst out laughing and said: "Brother, we meet again!"

  Sun Heng stepped forward and shook hands with the person, then said: "In a while, send someone to take a statement from Jin Cang, he won't be going back with you. I'll go back with you and explain things in detail."

  So I followed a special police officer and made a record on the spot, telling the whole story of what happened, and finally signed my name and fingerprint.

  Watching Sun Heng get on the helicopter and leave with his junior, I waved my hand to call out Li Huanhuan who was hiding on one side: "Sister Huan, let's go."

  Li Huan came over and took a look at me, saying in a low voice: "You wait for a while, I'll go deal with the bloodstains on the snowy ground, lest someone sees them and gets scared."

  I just remembered that where Lao San was lying after he died, there was still a large bloodstain. The SWAT team only took away Lao San's body but didn't clean up the bloodstain here.

  I and Li Huanhuan worked together to clean up the bloodstains, and then took away the rifle and pistol before returning home.

  Because of Lao San's appearance, the killer of the Wan Long Society, whom I had almost forgotten, has once again caught my attention. After discussing with Li Huanhuan for a while, we decided not to tell others in the family about this matter, but instead secretly hid the gun and made some preparations.

  Li Huanhuan is from the Wanlong Association and is more skilled in the use of firearms than I am, who has just started learning. So when there's nothing to do, she temporarily takes on the role of my shooting coach, guiding me to practice shooting.

  Of course, all of this was done in secret, we couldn't let others know that we had guns. Because the New Year was approaching, there were too many things to be busy with, and Father and Mother didn't notice anything unusual either. Even Dongfang Shu and Guo Si Shu were busy to the point of being joyful, and they didn't notice anything unusual about me and Li Huanhuan.

  However, Zhou Hui and Dongfang Yu soon discovered some things. I had no choice but to tell the two of them the truth and directly invite them to join Li Huanhuan's and my team to start secretly practicing shooting. Only oneself can protect oneself 24 hours a day, so one must master the means to protect oneself.

  Bai Feng has been getting closer and closer to my mother lately, almost inseparable. Plus, she still holds a grudge against me and doesn't bother with Dongfang Yu and Li Huanhuan who are close to me, let alone Zhou Hui, whom Bai Feng wouldn't even take the initiative to approach. So I didn't worry that she would find out anything.
