Chapter 188: Chapter 173: Extreme Danger, Full Mobilization

A little over ten minutes later.

Hong She got out of the car, closed the door, and said to Xie Shaokun, "Xie Shaokun, come over here."

With that, he strode away.

When he figured Chen Ziqi, still in the car, was out of earshot, he stopped, looked at Xie Shaokun, and said, "Yu just called me."

Xie Shaokun, who had been a bit puzzled, immediately grew serious and asked, "What were Yu’s orders?"

"The next Mist Event, a few of us have to participate with her."

Hong She said.

"What?!"

Hearing this, Xie Shaokun’s pupils contracted. "This... this means the next Mist Event is going to be very dangerous?"

"Most likely."

Hong She’s expression also grew grim. "That’s why Yu told us not to kill Brother Dong and his men."

The plan had changed.

Xie Shaokun understood instantly. "Yu wants Brother Dong and his men to follow us into the Mist Event... as cannon fodder?"

Something like this had happened before, during the ’White Building Mist Event’.

He’d experienced it firsthand and was extremely sensitive to it.

"Heh."

Hong She suddenly grinned, patting Xie Shaokun’s shoulder. "Old Xie, how can you call it ’cannon fodder’? This is a fortunate opportunity!"

"Yu has a kind heart. She’s giving these bad men a fortunate opportunity, a chance to atone for their sins."

"They should be eternally grateful."

"Don’t you think?"

Xie Shaokun was speechless.

For some reason, he felt that Hong She was just like a villain from a novel or movie—the kind who loves to find grandiose justifications for his own evil deeds.

"What?"

"You don’t agree?"

Hong She continued, "If any of them perform exceptionally well, it’s not impossible they’ll catch Yu’s eye. If that happens, she’ll probably pull them into the team."

"Isn’t that a fortunate opportunity?"

Uh...

Xie Shaokun nodded, but he still felt like something was off.

"Also."

Hong She continued, "Yu gave us two tasks. First, get tens of millions from Brother Dong. Over a hundred million would be even better."

"Second, get Brother Dong to cooperate with us and lure all the city’s worst criminals to the location of the next Mist Event."

"!!!"

At these words, Xie Shaokun’s expression grew even more grim.

’Do we need that much cannon fodder?’

’It seems...’

’This upcoming Mist Event is going to be even more dangerous than I imagined.’

"Don’t tell Chen Ziqi any of this."

Hong She patted Xie Shaokun’s shoulder again and instructed, "For now, take her back first. Then, meet up with me and Brother Hua to carry out Yu’s orders."

"Okay."

Xie Shaokun nodded, turned, and strode back to the car.

VROOM.

Watching the car drive away, Hong She’s eyes narrowed. He lit a cigarette and began puffing out clouds of smoke.

In the car just now, he had asked a few questions. She really thought he was a police officer and had answered cooperatively.

This gave him a better understanding of the woman:

She’d gotten close to Xie Shaokun simply because she felt the world was no longer safe and wanted some protection. Her motive wasn’t hard to guess, but her decisiveness was quite remarkable.

「An hour later.」

Inside a car.

"This is the place."

Two of Brother Dong’s trusted men, Wang Kang and Zuo San’er, were being incredibly obedient, all crooked thoughts gone from their minds. Pointing at the pool hall ahead, they said, "Brother Dong is inside."

Just a moment ago, they had thought Hong She and the others were only acting so arrogant because they had guns. And as for guns... they had them too!

But then...

Little Flower took a bullet and was completely unharmed, and in return, almost crushed both of their Heavenly Spirit Covers.

After that, the two men were thoroughly intimidated.

Even now, their skulls were still faintly aching, their minds haunted by the despairing feeling that their heads could be shattered at any moment. How could they dare to resist?

"Let’s go."

Hong She didn’t hesitate. He pushed open the car door and got out, carrying a briefcase.

Xie Shaokun and the others followed close behind.

"Brother Kang!"

"Third Brother!"

Many people in the pool hall knew Wang Kang and Zuo San’er, and one after another, they called out greetings.

Clearly, the two of them held a lot of prestige.

"Get everyone else out. These people need to discuss something with Brother Dong."

Wang Kang ordered directly.

Soon.

The pool hall was cleared.

But Brother Dong acted as if he hadn’t noticed, continuing to play pool with a voluptuous woman. Over a dozen men stood around them, clearly Brother Dong’s thugs.

Wang Kang looked at Hong She, about to tell him they could start talking, when he noticed Hong She staring intently at Brother Dong’s woman—or more precisely, staring at her massive rear end, not bothering to hide his desire in the slightest!
