NOVEL NEXT Chapter 141 Betrayal
Living Room.
Lu Chengwen sat in the center of the sofa, legs crossed, looking at the ceiling.
Yin Tuo Wang, Tong Tuo Wang, and Tie Tuo Wang, the three Tuo Kings, stood opposite him.
Lu Chengwen looked at the ceiling: "You guys...do you think it's better to save people or kill people?"
The three of them had no idea what he was talking about, and no one spoke.
Yin Tuo Wang thought for a moment and said, "In this world, many things are out of our control. We brothers can be said to have been saved by Mr. Lu."
Lu Chengwen shook his head, still looking at the ceiling: "Do you hate me? If it wasn't for me, you would still be comfortably living your lives as Tuo Kings, enjoying good food and drink, holding positions of power. Now you're being hunted by the entire organization."
The three of them said that they didn't hate him.
Lu Chengwen smiled, sat up straight, and looked at them: "I want to save someone. Today, this person knelt before me. I think he's quite a man, it's a pity to see him die."
Tie Tuo Wang was very confused: "Mr. Lu, who is this person you're talking about?"
Lu Chengwen said, "Jin Tuo Wang."
Yin Tuo Wang was startled: "Mr. Lu! My… my brother, what happened to him?"
Lu Chengwen said, "He came to Xuecheng with the strategist. They fought me for two days, and now they've been caught and will be handed over to your leader."
Lu Chengwen shook his head: "They're dead."
Yin Tuo Wang immediately knelt down: "Mr. Lu! My brother is a righteous man, please save him!"
Lu Chengwen looked at Yin Tuo Wang: "He asked me to tell you that he said he will be brothers with you again in the next life."
Yin Tuo Wang started crying. He knew that his sworn brother would not have asked Lu Chengwen to pass such a message if he wasn't utterly disheartened.
Yin Tuo Wang said: "Mr. Lu, as long as you can save my brother, I promise that he will be loyal to you, he will repay your kindness for a lifetime. And me, if you save my brother, I promise that I will be loyal to you for life, my life is yours."
Lu Chengwen looked at Tong Tuo Wang and Tie Tuo Wang: "What about you?"
Tong Tuo Wang and Tie Tuo Wang were both superiors and subordinates to Jin and Yin, but they were also in a competitive relationship in the workplace.
However, Jin Tuo Wang was a righteous person and didn't like to suppress his subordinates.
Yin Tuo Wang was different. Yin Tuo Wang liked to show off and wasn't very kind to Tong Tuo Wang and Tie Tuo Wang.
Now that Lu Chengwen's power structure has changed, with Jin Tuo Wang gone, Yin Tuo Wang became the strongest force.
Wouldn't that mean that their two brothers would be suppressed by Yin Tuo Wang forever?
So they also had a good impression of Jin Tuo Wang, and they had no objection to saving him.
It's just...they knew too little about this, and the risk was very high.
The three Tuo Kings were all worried about their future, afraid that one day a black-clothed guard would suddenly appear from a corner and directly end their lives.
Following Lu Chengwen was just a day-by-day thing.
And the stronger Lu Chengwen's forces became, the safer they would be.
It could even be said that if Jin and Yin were there, they two would be even safer.
So, the two agreed to save Jin Tuo Wang.
Lu Chengwen slapped his thigh: "Then let's save him!"
...
Hongyun Restaurant.
Imperial Box.
Lu Chengwen and Gao Fei sat opposite each other.
The two of them were drinking and chatting.
Lu Chengwen was a business tycoon. Although he wasn't a billionaire like Huo Zhenting, his net worth of over 200 billion yuan made him a top-tier player anywhere.
Gao Fei looked up to Lu Chengwen. Firstly, he felt that Lu Chengwen was extraordinary.
This guy, although he appeared smooth, cunning, and self-serving, could still use such a powerful Immortal King skill at critical moments.
That alone made him almost invincible in the world.
Secondly, he was a man of the underworld. Even though he had followed Huo Zhenting for many years, the blood in his veins was that of a man of the underworld.
Seeing a martial artist like Jin Tuo Wang being so loyal to Lu Chengwen, he was very moved.
Especially after hearing that Lu Chengwen had taken out such a rare pill like Xiao Hui Tian Wan without hesitation to save him, he admired Lu Chengwen even more.
After all, the strategist and Jin Tuo Wang together wouldn't be worth that pill!
How loyal and generous Lu Chengwen was,was evident.
Although he appeared to be a businessman, he had the personality of a hero.
This was particularly admired by Gao Fei.
The two of them chatted more and more harmoniously, the more they chatted, the happier they became, and finally, they became sworn brothers.
Lu Chengwen didn't believe in sworn brotherhood.
But there was no way, people in the underworld believed in it.
It was all nonsense. If someone was genuine, they would be loyal even without a sworn oath.
If someone was a dog, even if you cut off your finger and swore with it, they would still betray you.
As the old saying goes:
Apart from the oath of the Peach Garden, who has ever stayed together until the end of their lives?
That's the truth.
Lu Chengwen got drunk, and Gao Fei also got drunk.
The drinking went on until late at night. Lu Chengwen told the concierge team at the reception of the Grand Saint Hotel to look after Gao Fei.
He covered his mouth and staggered out secretly.
As soon as he came out, Tie Tuo Wang greeted him: "Mr. Lu."
Lu Chengwen suppressed his urge to vomit: "How is it going?"
"Found them, they're waiting to make a move."
"Follow me!"
In an old house on the outskirts.
Two masters were sleeping.
Several Tuo Kings were all masked, suddenly they rushed in.
The two masters were very alert, they woke up immediately and fought with the Tuo Kings.
Yin Tuo Wang was a Ghost Cry master of the Middle Four Gates, and Tongand Tuo Wang and Tie Tuo Wang were also Awakening masters of the Middle Four Gates.
And the two opponents were also Awakening masters.
Yin Tuo Wang pressed one down and quickly subdued him, acupuncturing him.
Tong Tuo Wang and Tie Tuo Wang also suppressed one. Just as they were about to make a move, Yin Tuo Wang was already there, also acupunctured him, and struck him unconscious with a palm.
Lu Chengwen walked into the dungeon accompanied by the Fat and Thin Head Monks.
Tong Tuo Wang and Tie Tuo Wang quickly followed behind him.
Lu Chengwen said: "Fat Head Monk, Thin Head Monk, watch over these two, don't hurt them."
"Yes, Mr. Lu, don't worry."
The dungeon door opened, Yin Tuo Wang rushed in and knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face: "Brother! Your brother is here to save you!"
"Ayin?!" Jin Tuo Wang had already heard the fight outside: "How come it's you?"
Yin Tuo Wang said: "Mr. Lu, it was Mr. Lu who brought us here to save you!"
Jin Tuo Wang looked at Lu Chengwen, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Lu Chengwen smiled slightly: "This is not the place for chatting, Yin Tuo Wang, take him, let's go."
"Yes!"
As he helped Jin Tuo Wang to the door, he saw the strategist in another dungeon, chained to his feet, sitting on the ground, his face livid as he looked at Lu Chengwen.
Lu Chengwen sighed and left.
The strategist slowly closed his eyes.
After a while, Tie Tuo Wang walked in: "Strategist."
Dungeon.
The strategist looked at Tie Tuo Wang: "You..."
"Mr. Lu asked me to bring you out too."
"How is that possible?"
"Don't waste time." Tie Tuo Wang smashed the chains with a palm strike and carried the strategist out to chase after them.
They left the small house, and after walking a few steps along a narrow path in the darkness, a figure suddenly emerged from the front.
Everyone stopped.
Lu Chengwen was stunned: "Big...Brother?"
Gao Fei smiled bitterly: "Mr. Lu, you got me drunk, made me your sworn brother, was this all for this?"
Yin Tuo Wang immediately stepped forward: "I'll hold him off, you guys go first, Mr. Lu!"
Lu Chengwen stopped Yin Tuo Wang.
His face was full of shame and embarrassment: "Big Brother, I'm sorry. The four Tuo Kings, including this strategist, and joined the big organization out of desperation! They were trained from a young age to be this way, they joined the big organization as soon as they understood things. The big organization uses terror to manage, anyone who quits will be hunted down forever...Essentially, they're not bad people. If you hand them over to the big organization, they'll be tortured and entertained forever."
Gao Fei said calmly: "You knowtooif I make a move, no one here will survive."
"I know." Lu Chengwen said: "Big Brother, I'm the mastermind, if you want to deal with anyone, just deal with me. They're just ordinary thugs who have no choice but to listen to me."
Gao Fei lowered his head, pulling out a short knife: "Is it worth it?"
Lu Chengwen knew that he had completely messed up this play.
I'm so stupid!
He's been a man of the underworld for so many years, how could you, a greenhorn, outsmart him?!
It was so smooth, a top-tier master of the Upper Four Gates, you got him drunk?!
Lu Chengwen, Lu Chengwen, you're getting ahead of yourself.
Now things have changed.
By inviting him, drinking with him, and becoming sworn brothers...all became a play for profit.
From Gao Fei's perspective, this rich kid was playing him, he was tricked, and it was a trick done in the form of a sworn oath.
Lu Chengwen looked at the short knife in Gao Fei's hand: "Big Brother, my sworn oath with you was sincere, I wanted to get you drunk and do things because I didn't want to ruin your business."
Gao Fei smiled slightly: "You got me drunk, and k and people away, won't that ruin my business?"
Lu Chengwen was speechless: "Big Brother, don't...have to use the knife, right?"
Yin Tuo Wang stepped forward: "Mr. Lu, you guys go, I'll stop him!"
Lu Chengwen glanced at him: "You can't stop him, step aside."
Yin Tuo Wang slowly retreated, but he had already made up his mind to fight to the death.
Gao Fei looked at Lu Chengwen: "Mr. Lu, there's one thing I don't understand."
"Ask away, Big Brother."
"They have no relation to you, and they've all tried to kill you before, and now you want to save them all. Why?"
Lu Chengwen scratched his head: "Big Brother, you might not understand when I say it. It's just...they were originally meant for a great future, they could follow Long Aotian to be thugs, make money, and be free. I was trying to survive, and I forced them to have no way out. Essentially, they are different from the black-clothed guards, they are just masters who deal with gang affairs, not vicious criminals. I..."
Gao Fei nodded: "I understand, you're a good-for-nothing."
Lu Chengwen was very nervous, he bit his lip: "Big Brother, can you give us a way out, we can't stand here forever."
Gao Fei said, "There's only one way."
Yin Tuo Wang suddenly rushed forward, roaring: "You guys go first!"
It didn't even take a second.
Yin Tuo Wang was kneeling on the ground, Gao Fei grabbed his wrist and flipped it, Yin Tuo Wang couldn't move at all.
Gao Fei released his hand, and at the same time, a wave of internal energy struck, Yin Tuo Wang rolled back along the ground, lying on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
Gao Fei said calmly: "Didn't Mr. Lu tell you? You can't stop me."
Lu Chengwen was also angry: "Big Brother, if you're going to make a move, just do it. This time, I owe you, I don't blame you. Jin Tuo Wang and the strategist are out of luck if they can't escape, but my brothers, can you let them go? It won't affect you whether you leave them or not! Just give your brother a little face!"
Gao Fei's short knife was in his hand, and he stared coldly at Lu Chengwen: "Underworld matters, underworld solutions, I did drink your wine, and I did become sworn brothers with you. But if my knife doesn't taste blood, things won't end today."
"Big Brother, you..."
Pfft!
Everyone was shocked.
Gao Fei plunged the short knife into his chest!
