Chapter 410 Fight Me Together?
The location that had been agreed upon was outside a slaughterhouse.
An unpleasant stench wafted around the surrounding air.
Zhang Heng stopped the car. Not far from them, four men were playing a knife game around a small table.
The rules of the game were simple. The player was basically required to place a hand on the table, and with a knife in the other hand, poke the gaps between the fingers quickly. Whoever moved the fastest would be the final winner.
The whole process was fascinating, often regarded as a symbol of courage for those with the nerve to partic.i.p.ate. Hence, the four men were having so much fun that they failed to notice somebody coming.
“There are still twenty minutes left. What should we do? Wait in the car, or should I go down and talk to them?”
“No need for so much trouble,” Zhang Heng said while turning on the high beam of the car.
The headlights. .h.i.t the men so brightly that they could no longer continue playing. Irritated and annoyed, they got up from their chairs, grabbing their weapons and cursing loudly.
The chemistry teacher was shocked. “Wow! Now is that impolite or what?”
“Have you ever seen robbers and villains speak politely?” Zhang Heng asked, “These four were there to make sure that they could give you a good scare. They know you are just an ordinary person, and I can bet that they would never come to you if you don’t get out of the car. If you go to them, they will not listen to you either. This is how they do things. Tactics like these will make you feel more nervous and fearful. The more you fear, the more they will benefit in the negotiation.”
“Is this the location that they requested? The nearest security camera is a kilometer away, and with the current visibility, there’s no way it can capture clear footage. In other words, they hold the power to strike first.”
The chemistry teacher was embarra.s.sed, “I initially thought we were supposed to meet at the bridge where you picked me up, but their person in charge told me on the phone that their boss wanted to trade on their turf instead. They said they would call off the deal if I didn’t comply. I know it’s a bad idea, but the person in charge of the transaction a.s.sured me that it would be safe…”
“They are just playing good cop-bad cop with you,” Zhang Heng said, “Not having a surveillance camera is actually not a bad thing. Wait for my signal to get out of the car.”
“Huh?”
Before the teacher could figure out what was going on, Zhang Heng was already heading to the four men.
“Kid, are you the driver? Do you have a death wish? Why the h.e.l.l did you s.h.i.+ne your lights on us?!” the man with tattoos on his body and face growled viciously, “Don’t you know whose turf is this?”
“Two hundred years have pa.s.sed, and you guys still haven’t made much progress. You can only pretend to be tough by relying on a gang behind you and s.h.i.+tty makeup. How disappointing,” Zhang Heng said calmly, “Since that’s the case, I will let you witness what real evil is.”
“Yo, a.s.shole! What kind of crazy are you?! You must be longing for death,” the tattooed man smirked as he stretched out his hand to grab Zhang Heng’s collar.
“What should I do?!” cried the panicked teacher in the car with a tone as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. “Why did they suddenly start fighting? There must be some misunderstanding. They might not know why we are here. I’ll go down and talk to them.”
