Ling Tian said, and began to gesture with the knife in his hand back and forth on Ba Hu’s only remaining hand.
Ling Tian’s voice was very soft, but Ba Hu could tell that this guy was serious.
He had already lost one hand, and the pain was unbearable. If he lost another arm, or two legs…
Recalling the heart-wrenching pain from before, and thinking about how terrifying a human stick was, Ba Hu decided it was better to retreat than to fight.
“Big brother, big brother, please spare me, I’ll talk, I’ll tell you everything!
It was Wang Tianlong, a kid named Wang Tianlong, who was willing to pay 2 million to have me get rid of you!”
Ling Tian narrowed his eyes. He had thought it was an assassin sent by the Bai family, but he didn’t expect Wang Tianlong to be behind it.
He had originally thought that Wang Tianlong’s expulsion from the Wang family and the severe punishment would be enough to make him restrain himself.
But unexpectedly, Wang Tianlong not only failed to learn his lesson but instead hired someone to kill him.
“Very good, you are sensible. I will spare you today and not kill you and your subordinates for now.
From now on, don’t let me see you in Jiangshan City again. If you dare to cause trouble for me, or if I see you again next time, it will be your death anniversary, understand!”
“I understand, I understand. As long as you spare me, I’ll leave Jiangzhou immediately!” Ba Hu said with a choked sob.
“By the way, didn’t he give you 2 million? Where is the money?”
“The money… the money is in the trunk of my jeep, there’s a travel bag there…
But there’s only 800,000 in it…”
“Where is the rest?”
“That kid Wang Tianlong said he’d give a 1 million deposit first, and then the remaining 1 million after the job was done.
We spent 200,000 in the past two days, so there’s only 800,000 left…”
“Call Wang Tianlong and tell him the mission is complete and ask him to come and pay the balance!” Ling Tian’s eyes flashed with cold light.
“But, I’m like this, how can I make a call…” Ba Hu said tearfully.
“Have your subordinate make the call, find a smart one! If Wang Tianlong doesn’t come, you’ll all die!”
Under Ba Hu’s direction, a subordinate, dragging a broken leg, tremblingly came to Ba Hu and then, as Ling Tian requested, used Ba Hu’s phone to call Wang Tianlong.
More than an hour later, a jeep appeared. Wang Tianlong, with a bodyguard and a travel bag, showed up in the woods.
“I say, Boss Ba Hu, you really know how to pick a place, coming to such a remote corner for a transaction…”
Before Wang Tianlong could finish speaking, he was stunned by the scene before him.
People were lying all over the woods, blood was everywhere on the ground. In the middle of the crowd lay Ba Hu, his two legs bleeding profusely, and his right hand gone.
The most terrifying thing was that on the ground lay a pale hand, still clutching a knife…
“Ba… Big Brother Ba Hu, what happened to you…” Wang Tianlong’s legs turned to jelly with fear.
Ba Hu, instead of speaking, started to curse loudly.
“Wang Tianlong, you want to die, why drag me into it! You’ve ruined us, my brothers and I!”
“What do you mean, what do you mean I ruined you?” Wang Tianlong was somewhat bewildered.
“Who the hell did you ask me to kill! That’s a god of slaughter!
Are you satisfied with my brothers and me being in this state!
I’m telling you, Wang Tianlong, if you don’t provide sufficient compensation and medical expenses, we’ll go to Wang Family Manor and complain to Old Master Wang!”
Wang Tianlong was dumbfounded. He now roughly understood that these people had gone to kill Ling Tian and had been counter-killed.
“But we agreed, and I already gave the deposit. I can only give you the remaining payment after Ling Tian is killed!
You bragged so much back then, saying you and your brothers were mercenaries and had so many kills under your belts.
Turns out it was all a bluff!”
Wang Tianlong, seeing Ba Hu and his subordinates in such a state, assumed they were no longer capable of fighting.
And the bodyguard by his side, though only one person, was very capable.
He now intended to renege on the deal. After all, Wang Tianlong and his father had little money left, and he had sold most of the luxury cars in his garage.
“Haha, Wang Tianlong, you really are scum, a piece of absolute scum!”
A voice suddenly came from behind, startling Wang Tianlong. He turned around and found that the person was actually Ling Tian.
“You… you… you’re not dead!”
“Of course I’m not dead. With this rabble, my life is not in danger!
I had them call you here. Should we settle our accounts now!”
“Quick, go, take him down!”
Wang Tianlong suddenly darted behind the bodyguard.
The bodyguard held the travel bag in his left hand and took out a telescopic baton from his waist, extending it.
Ling Tian looked at the bodyguard with a smile.
“If I were you, I wouldn’t listen to him!
A few days ago, some of your colleagues attacked me, and you know their fate.
Do you think you are more powerful than all four of them combined? Do you want to end up like them?”
The bodyguard hesitated. After a while, he suddenly let go of his hand, and the baton dropped to the ground.
Ling Tian extended his hand: “Very good, you are a very sensible person! People like you will live a long time.
Give me the bag!”
The bodyguard hesitated again, then gritted his teeth and threw the bag at Ling Tian’s feet.
Ling Tian bent down and unzipped it, revealing bundles of cash inside.
At this moment, Wang Tianlong was furious, a mixture of anger, fear, and other emotions.
“You… you dare to betray me!”
“I’m sorry, Young Master Wang, I have a whole family to support, I can’t die!”
The bodyguard said, turned his head, and ran out of the woods.
Ling Tian did not chase him. This was a smart person, and a smart person would know what to do.
Ling Tian walked forward, approached Wang Tianlong, and shook his phone.
“I recorded everything you just said!
Wang Tianlong, you have a lot of nerve, time and time again, it’s endless, isn’t it!
It seems I need to go to Old Master again and report you, so that you and your father become homeless!”
After speaking, Ling Tian suddenly reached out and slapped him.
The slap sent Wang Tianlong spinning in place. Then, Ling Tian’s other hand came again.
“Slap, slap, slap…”
A series of seven or eight slaps left Wang Tianlong bleeding from his nose and mouth, his face instantly swollen into a pig’s head.
Then Ling Tian poked him a few times with his finger and then slapped him hard, sending him flying several meters away.
Wang Tianlong fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood, and had lost an unknown number of teeth.
“Wang Tianlong, let me remind you, take good care of these brothers of yours. They are desperate men!
Even though they are crippled, it’s not difficult for them to take you down with them!”
