In Zha'nan District, at the Bai family home.
It was already past 8 PM when the three Su brothers finished drinking with Old Master Bai. Even though Dog Six had a good alcohol tolerance, he was still dizzy. He wanted to arrange to go home, but Bai Hongbo and Bai Hongtao were being overly enthusiastic, insisting they stay to play a while longer, maybe some mahjong.
To be honest, Su Tianyu had absolutely no interest in gambling, but Chinese New Year was all about liveliness. Since their hosts were being so warm, he couldn't act pretentious, so he stayed with his Big Brother and Second Brother to play with the Bai family's younger generation.
Midway through, Bai Hongbo thought of Kong Zhenghui and, being mischievous, called him saying there was an urgent situation with the sea business and asked him to come to his house for a meeting.
Normally, with Kong Zhenghui's intelligence, he wouldn't have been fooled by Big Bai, but today was New Year's Day, and Kong Zhenghui was already drunk at his relatives' home. In his confused state, he came to the Bai family home and lost over two thousand yuan to Bai Hongtao in less than two hours.
In the side room of the Bai family compound, voices were thunderous and smoke was thick. More than ten people gathered together, consuming at least two cigarettes per minute, making the room look like a celestial realm.
The mahjong table had been replaced with a Texas Hold'em poker table. Su Tianyu's head was pounding from everyone's noise, and he stood up shouting: "Damn it, stay five more minutes and I'll definitely get lung cancer. Fine, you all play, I need a break."
"Don't go, keep fighting!" Bai Hongbo grinned and said: "Everyone in this room is drunk. If we pull an all-nighter, we'll have enough money to get married tomorrow."
"No more, no more." Su Tianyu got up from the table and walked to the sofa area, pushed open the window, and sat on the windowsill to get some air.
At the nearby table, Big Brother Su Tiannan, usually steady and conservative, was now extremely excited from the alcohol. Holding a stack of money, he waved his hand and shouted: "Come on, everyone move faster, bet bigger, finish earlier. Today we're not leaving until we clean out these Bai family guys!"
Just then, a phone rang. Su Tiannan, still smiling, took out his phone: "Hello? Ah, I'm visiting friends, what's up? What? Really? You're kidding? Holy shit...!"
After just two sentences on the phone, the smile on Su Tiannan's face turned to shock. He walked away from the crowd and asked with furrowed brows: "The Police Bureau people have already gone there, right? Okay okay, I'll go right away, that's it."
After hanging up, Su Tiannan waved his hand and called out: "I have something to deal with, I'm done playing."
"What's wrong?" Su Tianyu asked from the windowsill.
Su Tiannan paused, feeling there was no need to hide it: "Daxiong killed people, killed five of them, and they were all... police officers."
"What?!" Bai Hongbo was the first to react: "Who killed people?"
"Daxiong, Wu Shixiong!" Su Tiannan repeated.
After just this one exchange, the previously noisy room instantly fell silent. Su Tianyu, sitting on the windowsill, was also stunned: "Killed people???"
"Yes, he was discovered after escaping, and Tang Baiqing, along with Yang An from the Police Bureau and others went to arrest him, all five were killed," Su Tiannan said with furrowed brows. "He used to work at our company, and the crime scene was at our landfill garbage dump for sea reclamation, so the Police Bureau people want me to go in for questioning."
"Damn, killed five?! This is completely insane!" Bai Hongbo stood up, his expression extremely shocked as he said: "What was this kid thinking?"
"Bullshit, how could an idiot kill five people? And police officers at that?!" A foreman from the Bai family company who had come to visit said in complete disbelief: "That kid could barely walk without tripping, how could he kill anyone?"
Fixed impressions were a terrifying thing, as they easily led to fear, suspicion, carelessness, or even contempt.
Objectively speaking, Daxiong's ability to escape from the hospital and kill five people when he rose up in resistance was related to these fixed impressions. In others' eyes, apart from his extremely burly build, Daxiong had nothing going for him. Who would want to understand such an "idiot"?
Su Tianyu sat stunned on the windowsill for a good while before jumping down and saying: "What was he thinking? How did he end up killing people?"
At this moment, not only Su Tianyu didn't understand, but neither did the others in the room, because they had no idea what Daxiong's life had been like for nearly twenty years, much less what he had experienced in detention. Everyone just thought that since Daxiong's sentence wasn't long, he should have just quietly served his few years and been done with it. Why did he need to escape and kill people?
"Alright, I'm leaving first," Su Tiannan dropped these words and started walking out.
"Should I go with you?" Su Tianbei asked.
"Oh, no need, they just want to question the person in charge of the garbage dump," Su Tiannan waved his hand. "I can go by myself."
With that, Su Tiannan strode away, while Su Tianyu, Bai Hongbo, and the others were still in a daze.
"It's over, Daxiong is completely finished now," Bai Hongbo shook his head and sighed.
......
In the Xinaluo living village.
Liang Feng hung up the phone and looked up at Xu Er, saying: "Old... Old Black is here, he wants me to find him within ten minutes."
"What game is he playing?" Xu Er was also confused, because he hadn't expected Old Black to come over tonight at all.
"...He... he's always like this, doesn't really trust anyone but himself," Liang Feng stuttered in reply. "But I didn't expect him to come tonight either."
Xu Er looked down at his watch: "Get dressed, let's go."
"Okay," Liang Feng stood up.
"Ming'er, you all get ready too, we're going out," Xu Er didn't have time to think much now, because the other side had only given ten minutes. To avoid making Old Black suspicious, he could only follow the other's wishes and meet first.
The seven or eight people in the room all gathered. Xu Er checked his gun and pointed at Liang Feng, cursing: "You son of a dog, I have more people outside, you know that. If you try any tricks, they'll come in and kill your family immediately."
"Yes, yes... I definitely wouldn't dare," Liang Feng nodded.
"Let's go!"
Xu Er called out and led everyone toward the door.
Liang Feng was in the middle of the group, flanked by two men, with no chance to escape.
When they reached the door, Xu Er's right hand was on the handle when he suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong, Second Brother?"
"Damn it, something's not right!" Xu Er withdrew his arm that was about to push the door and suddenly turned to ask Liang Feng: "Does Old Black know where your house is?"
Liang Feng was stunned for a moment: "He probably doesn't know, I never mentioned it to him, and he wouldn't ask. That's the rule."
Xu Er stared into Liang Feng's eyes and quickly replied: "Damn it, we can't just walk out openly. This guy is quite cunning. If he's watching outside the door, as soon as we go out, we'll definitely be exposed!"
In the living village, Old Black carried a simple travel bag on his back, lowered his head to light a cigarette, and looked at his watch again.
