Chapter 1369: Chapter 1345: Cheating Inside the Trap (Part 1)

Hua Qingyi and Shao Qinyi exchanged a glance and then stood by Quan Xianglin’s side.

"Chairman Quan!" Hua Qingyi shouted, but was stopped by Quan Xianglin.

"I know!" Quan Xianglin looked up at the guns protruding overhead, then glanced towards Boss Xing. "The death row inmates have no clause to terminate the agreement unless none remain, Boss Xing, you know that’s impossible. Are you planning to betray me now?"

Whoosh! Two bullets struck between Quan Xianglin and Boss Xing, causing the raised eggshell to fall to the side.

"I respect the desires of the death row inmates." Boss Xing’s voice came through the human wall. "Chairman Quan, you should remember Chu Qi, right? If it weren’t for our Young Master Quan, I don’t think the death row inmates would be so divided. I’m not the one who first broke the game rules."

"Is that so?"

A red dot appeared on a strong man’s body. When everyone’s attention was focused on Quan Xianglin and Boss Xing, the unexpected happened.

Bang! A dull wind-breaking sound emerged, almost without any sign, when a bullet hit the brow of a strong man in front of Boss Xing, killing him on the spot.

Boss Xing’s face froze there, the fierce expression fixated on the dead man. On the other side, Quan Xianglin was also stunned by the sudden situation, who fired the gun?

Before there was time to think, Boss Xing let out a high-pitched scream, a burst of gunfire erupted, bullets whizzed through the air. If Hua Qingyi hadn’t reacted quickly, pushing Quan Xianglin to the ground and dragging him to a side recess, Quan Xianglin would have already become a beehive.

"Who fired the gun?" Quan Xianglin gasped, his face pale as paper.

"It wasn’t arranged by me." Hua Qingyi and Quan Xianglin leaned shoulder to shoulder in the recess, bullets flying overhead. After a burst of shooting, the entire freezer plant fell into silence. "Wasn’t it arranged by the Chairman?"

"No! I didn’t plan to act today." Hua Qingyi’s denial made Quan Xianglin suspicious.

Hua Qingyi turned sideways to look back at the commotion outside. Amidst the chaos, they had lost contact with Shao Qinyi, not knowing where he was hiding at the moment.

"Where are your people?" Quan Xianglin also turned around to pay attention outside, unaware that the entire freezer plant had plunged into darkness, and Boss Xing was nowhere to be seen.

"All arranged outside." Hua Qingyi wanted to jump out of the recess, but was pulled back by Quan Xianglin. "It’s not safe here, we have to leave. It’s about ten meters from here to the door. Can the Chairman still run?"

In the darkness, Quan Xianglin’s night vision was not as good as Hua Qingyi’s, and he could only vaguely discern the location of the iron door. "What do you plan to do?"

"The Chairman must follow closely behind me." Hua Qingyi surveyed the surroundings, picked up a fallen iron hook, and threw it towards the center.

A clang sounded, followed by a burst of machine-gun fire. This small probe immediately dispelled Hua Qingyi’s idea of charging out the front.

Hua Qingyi, like performing a magic trick, pulled out a delicate handgun and handed it to Quan Xianglin. "I’ll go up and take them down. When you see my signal, run to the door. Once outside, you’ll meet up with Lao Jiu and the others."

Without concerning whether Quan Xianglin agreed, Hua Qingyi casually picked up two iron hooks, discerning the direction, he climbed out of the recess, heading up the stairs on the right. Quan Xianglin couldn’t stop the swift-moving Hua Qingyi. Suddenly losing someone, he felt immense fear but dared not jump out of the recess.

Hua Qingyi felt his way to the second floor, easily able to find the armed death row inmates from the passageway. He didn’t directly confront these people but instead slipped into a side door. It seemed this place was previously used as an office area on the second floor.

Boss Xing had planned from the start not to let them leave just like that, clearly wanting Quan Xianglin dead but denied the earlier group’s assassination attempt. Was it a miscalculation? As Hua Qingyi searched office by office, a woman’s low voice suddenly sounded from within.

"This wasn’t in the plan!" The woman’s tone held a noticeable displeasure, accompanied by a complaining note.

"I didn’t act, it was Quan Xianglin who acted." The familiar voice made Hua Qingyi cautiously approach. Looking through the window, he could only see Boss Xing’s pretty face, while the other man was only visible from the back.

"Shao Qinyi!" Hua Qingyi was greatly shocked and quickly pulled his head back.

"That old fox won’t move against me so quickly. Your recklessness now is enough to send us to meet King Yama," Boss Xing frowned.

"Things have come to this, no hesitation. Since we once arranged to kill Quan Mingyuan, we can emulate it this time," Shao Qinyi nonchalantly crossed his legs. "The old man is just below, and Hua Qingyi’s men are arranged outside by me. In this factory, only our people are here; are you afraid of dealing with an old man? If you don’t kill him today, he’ll spare no effort to deal with you tomorrow."

"No way!"

Shao Qinyi let out a sigh, shaking his head. "Back then, when I killed Quan Mingyuan, the Evening Cold Moon betrayed me. You know why the old man let me go? Because he still wanted to use me to take out the Xiao Family. But now, Hua Qingyi is coming with the underground city to pledge allegiance. If it were you, how would you think? Would you be foolish enough to believe it?"

"That young man just now was Hua Qingyi?" Boss Xing asked incredulously.

"One of the four famous young masters in Yanjing, a man prettier than a woman, but also more terrifying than a man."

Hua Qingyi raised an eyebrow, was that a compliment? Just as he was about to turn over, gunshots suddenly rang out from outside. Hua Qingyi pursed his lips and swiftly darted outside.

The person guarding the second floor fired a barrage downstairs at the shadows, Hua Qingyi watched coldly. He saw Quan Xianglin’s beleaguered figure fleeing in the dark, completely directionless, occasionally hiding to shoot upstairs.

Sigh! Hua Qingyi let out a sigh, crouched behind someone, and knocked them out with a hook, picking up their gun and hiding in the shadows.

The gun was a good one, he could feel its compatibility with himself in his hand. Hua Qingyi set up the gun, aiming through the scope at Quan Xianglin hiding beside a machine. His finger was already on the trigger, and with just a little force, a bullet would be through Quan Xianglin’s head.

In the darkness, a hand reached out, pressing down on the barrel. Hua Qingyi’s heart skipped a beat, he hadn’t noticed this person’s approach.

"Me!"

"Brother?" Hua Qingyi still wasn’t sure, wanting to close in, Xiao Lin retreated back into the darkness, seemingly avoiding Hua Qingyi. "Why?"

"Shh!" Xiao Lin pressed a hand against Hua Qingyi’s shoulder. "You just need to listen to me, nod or shake your head, don’t speak, understand?"

Hua Qingyi nodded, although he wanted clarity, he followed Xiao Lin’s instructions without advancing further.

"The plan has changed! You and Lao Jiu are in danger, await my notice at any moment."

Hua Qingyi shook his head, pointing inside the room, mouthing words silently. "We can’t kill Quan Xianglin now, we need to give time for defiance. Trust me, it won’t be long. Without Mu Rongyun, this won’t end, killing Quan Xianglin now is too easy for him."

’Shao Qinyi and Boss Xing have already teamed up, we can seize this opportunity.’ Hua Qingyi mouthed to Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin shook his head, pulled Hua Qingyi aside, opened a gap. "Look there!"

In the shadows of the trees, there were faint reflections from multiple positions. "Sniper rifles!"

"Exactly, these people are surrounding us, that person just now was also arranged by Quan Xianglin."

"Brother, how did you know?" Hua Qingyi pulled Xiao Lin aside, the position they were standing in was easily discoverable by a sniper expert.

Xiao Lin skillfully evaded Hua Qingyi’s hand, remaining hidden in the darkness without showing his face to Hua Qingyi. "You don’t need to know how I found out, Quan Xianglin isn’t as simple as you think, don’t be fooled by appearances, don’t trust anyone easily."

"But Shao Qinyi..."

"After Quan Xianglin deals with Boss Xing, his second target is Shao Qinyi. He won’t let his son die in vain." Xiao Lin leaned against the wall, in another minute, Lao Jiu would rush in with people. You must attack the gunmen on the second floor to avoid suspicion from Quan Xianglin."

"What about you? How will I contact you?"

"Still forty seconds, I’ll find you." As soon as the words fell, Hua Qingyi felt a breeze pass by, Xiao Lin’s presence already gone from the air.

One minute! No more, no less, just as Hua Qingyi hadn’t fully gotten into position, heavier gunshots sounded from outside. He didn’t have time to think, instinctively heading to the second-floor corridor, his iron hooks flying, causing an uproar.

Quan Xianglin hidden in the shadows watched the screams from the second floor, seeing someone fall from high above, cries echoed.

Meanwhile, outside the cold storage, the iron gate was blown open, and a red-haired figure stormed in, followed by more than a dozen individuals. Upon entering the cold storage, they scattered in all directions without uttering extra words, killing or hacking at any seen person, their ruthlessness shocking Quan Xianglin.

Compared to these people, his death row inmates were really nothing, showing what real killing machines were, these people were.

Hua Qingyi watched Lao Jiu rush in, no longer hesitating, he cleared the second-floor gunmen fully, signaling to Quan Xianglin. At this point, fighting sounds came from the second-floor corridor.

Lao Jiu found Quan Xianglin beside a machine, wielding two exotic weapons, saying nothing, only blocking in front of him, while the others consciously cleaned the scene, leaving no living quarters.

"Kill Boss Xing!"

At this moment, Quan Xianglin finally breathed a sigh of relief, nudging Lao Jiu, and stepping out from hiding, a chilling voice rang in everyone’s ears, yet Lao Jiu didn’t move. (To be continued.
