Chapter 195 Did This Gun Have Your Name on It?
"This is an absolute disgrace!!" Ma Rulong shouted almost instinctively.
The confusion and frustration from before have been completely dispelled by the overwhelming anger and intense sense of humiliation.
Go abroad to see your country's national treasures?
Just imagining that scene made them feel incredibly humiliated and breathless!
No! Absolutely not!
Zhou Yongling scoffed, shook his head, and said with a cynical, worldly-wise expression, "Anger? Shame? What can a few of you change by shouting slogans?"
"Look at the world now! Even the imperial court is selling out the country for personal gain, acting as a watchdog for foreigners! Selling land, selling mines, selling people!"
It's rotten from top to bottom!
"You think you can defy fate and change your destiny with just one or two people and a few nice words? Dream on!"
Zhuo Yifei couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "That's right—in this world, money talks. Forget about national treasures; what matters is being able to exchange them for real gold and silver."
Upon hearing this, Liang Kuan's thick eyebrows shot up, and he shouted angrily, "Bullshit! It's because of spineless scum like you that foreigners dare to take advantage of us!"
"But China also has its toughest members! There are plenty of righteous people resisting! There are righteous armies everywhere, and also—the Blood Flag Army!"
"In short, the sky won't fall! And we absolutely cannot let you parasites hollow it out!"
Ma Rulong wasn't one for mincing words. Provoked by Liang Kuan's words, he straightened his back and shouted, "There will always be justice in this world! Evil will never prevail over good! You're arrogant now, but you'll definitely face retribution in the future!"
Chen Wen looked at Ma Rulong's honest and determined face, then slowly shook his head: "The rules of this world have never been 'good triumphs over evil,' but rather the survival of the fittest."
"Here, there is only might, no justice. If you talk about morality and righteousness with robbers, they will only think you are stupid, and then laugh even more happily and rob even more fiercely."
His gaze swept over Zhou Yongling, Li Chujiu, and the armed pirate thugs.
Finally, turning to his indignant companion beside him, he stated clearly, word by word: "If you want others to respect you and listen to your reasoning, there's only one way!"
"That means humiliating him and killing his entire family!"
"Truth lies only within the range of cannons! Dignity lies only on the edge of a sword!"
The clock tower fell into a deathly silence.
Ma Rulong, Liang Kuan, and even Zhuo Yifei all looked at Chen Wen in shock.
For the first time, they felt so clearly the presence of this always smiling, well-mannered young knight.
Beneath that calm exterior lies a heart as sharp as a knife, capable of ruthless decisiveness!
This was nothing like the young nobleman they had imagined—who might have some skill and good luck!
Zhou Yongling felt a chill run through his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Chen Wen clearly possesses the strength and determination to put this set of rules into practice!
He had previously tried to use benefits and connections to maneuver, but now he realized with despair that those things were utterly useless in the face of the other party's absolute power and will!
"Who are you?!" Zhou Yongling's voice trembled, and he could no longer maintain his composure.
Chen Wen didn't answer, he just stared at him, his eyes like those of someone looking at a dead man.
Zhou Yongling was terrified, his soul nearly leaving his body. He screamed, "No! Sir Chen! It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! I can explain! I can tell you everything I know! Those foreigners' smuggling routes, their warehouses, their buyers—I know everything—"
Chen Wen chuckled, interrupting Zhou Yongling's last struggle.
"Now that things have come to this, do you think you still have a choice?"
"Take them away, interrogate them to extract information, and leave no one alive!"
Liang Kuan and his men, who had been unable to contain themselves any longer, pounced on Zhou Yongling, Li Chujiu, and their subordinates like tigers released from their cages.
"yes!"
Li Chu Jiu and several fierce pirates became extremely aggressive and tried to fight to the death.
But Liang Kuan personally took action, and with the help of several soldiers, they quickly subdued and tied them up.
The situation inside the clock tower was instantly reversed.
Seeing that the danger had passed, Zhuo Yifei finally breathed a sigh of relief. But suddenly, he frowned as he looked at the guns in Liang Kuan and the others' hands.
His eyes widened, and he suddenly looked up at Chen Wen, then at Ma Rulong, exclaiming, "These—these guns?!"
Ma Rulong also noticed it and looked equally shocked.
Chen Wen smiled. "A gun?"
"It's quite a coincidence. I was taking a walk on the beach today when I saw a big log on the shore. I opened it up and found these things hidden inside. What, you know them?"
Zhuo Yifei was stunned at first, then overjoyed!
Could it be that the log really floated away, or that I misunderstood Ma Rulong?
And what a coincidence that this gentleman found it?
That's incredibly lucky!
He nodded quickly: "Yes, yes! Sir, this is the batch of goods I lost!"
"Oh my, this is truly—what I've been searching high and low for, only to find it right under my nose! Thank you so much, Sir, for finding it for me!"
He rubbed his hands together, staring longingly at the guns, then glanced at Chen Wen, his meaning crystal clear.
Ma Rulong initially thought it was a coincidence, but then he noticed the ambiguous smile on Chen Wen's face.
Considering Chen Wen's sudden appearance here, carrying the gun that should have been missing—
An unbelievable thought gradually became clear to him, causing his heart to tremble and his eyes to look at Chen Wen with disbelief.
Chen Wen ignored Zhuo Yifei's surprise and instead slowly picked up a gun and looked at the brand on the stock: "Standard police gun - I think I heard that the Hong Kong police station recently lost a batch of guns, also a hundred."
"Zhuo Yifei, you said this is yours—why don't we go to the police station together, clear up the misunderstanding, and get your gun back?"
Zhuo Yifei's ecstatic joy froze instantly. Go to the police station? That would be like walking into a trap!
He knows best how he got the gun!
Cold sweat broke out on his brow. He hurriedly waved his hands and backed away, forcing a stiff smile: "No, no need! Sir! Maybe—maybe I'm seeing things! Yes, I'm seeing things! This gun—all guns look pretty much the same, haha—"
Before he finished speaking, he turned around and tried to slip away.
But Liang Kuan took a step forward without making a sound, slightly raising the muzzle of his rifle to block his path.
Did I let you leave?
Zhuo Yifei froze on the spot, his smile more like a grimace, and cautiously asked, "Sir—is there anything else you need?"
He knew that his life and his weaknesses were now completely in the other party's hands.
Chen Wen seemed somewhat satisfied, and the smile on his face became more genuine.
He raised his hand and pulled out a gold bar!
"Didn't Ma Rulong tell you? You get gold bars for working for me."
Zhuo Yifei's eyes widened instantly, and his breathing became heavy.
Gold bars! It really is gold bars! Ma Ta suddenly turned his head to look at Ma Rulong, his eyes filled with extremely complex emotions.
So it turns out—what Ma Rulong said was true!
This Sir Chen really threw gold bars at me! I actually mocked him for bragging, and then I swindled him instead!
Looking at his expression, Ma Rulong snorted irritably, "I told you a long time ago, but you didn't believe me and even tricked me."
At this moment, Zhuo Yifei no longer cared about being embarrassed; his immense joy and strong will to survive overwhelmed everything.
He quickly clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, excitedly saying, "Boss! From today onwards, you are my boss! Give the order, and I will go through fire and water for you!"
Chen Wen tossed the gold bar to him, and Zhuo Yifei caught it in a flurry, clutching it tightly in his hand, feeling as if he were dreaming.
"You don't need to go through hell and high water, just do me a favor."
"Boss, just say the word! Don't just say one, a hundred will do!"
Looking out the clock tower window, Chen Wen seemed to see the distant sea horizon, and slowly said, "Destroy Luo Sanpao!"
