Who would have thought that Chen Rong would object so fiercely? Lei Zhen couldn't tell if she was sincere or just putting on a show just to be safe.
Not only him, even Lei Zhen's trusted aides thought that Boss's plan was feasible. They didn't expect Chen Rong to object. In their eyes, although Qiangwei was worthy of respect, Lei Zhen was the one who provided them with food and clothing. If the new boss came, he would definitely purge the core members of this district. How could they have a good life then?
Unfortunately, Lei Zhen and the others didn't understand. As one of the people who attended the West Union Society's banquet, Chen Rong was so afraid not because she feared Qiangwei, but because the person she feared the most was not Qiangwei, but Yang Cheng!
In the beginning, Yang Cheng was her brother Chen Bo's friend. Later, he became Qiangwei's lover. Later on, Chen Rong felt that Yang Cheng was an unimaginable existence.
She would never forget that day at the banquet, when Yang Cheng single-handedly massacred more than forty armed thugs into a river of blood!
Not to mention the fact that it wasn't something a human could do, just that scene of carnage alone was still haunting Chen Rong's nightmares. She would wake up in fright, drenched in cold sweat.
Only a few people in the Red Thorns Society knew what Yang Cheng had done behind the scenes. Because Yang Cheng had never officially joined the society, Lei Zhen didn't know what he was capable of.
To Chen Rong, Yang Cheng was usually gentle, just like an ordinary big brother. But the fear she had for Yang Cheng was indescribable!
She was a smart girl. If not, Qiangwei wouldn't have chosen her as the successor. Because she was smart, she knew from the beginning that Qiangwei dared to delegate power not because Qiangwei had absolute power, but because as long as Yang Cheng stood behind her, Qiangwei had nothing to fear.
At this very moment, this foolish Lei Zhen actually wanted to use a bunch of boorish men and that lousy spear in his hand to force Rose to submit obediently and be threatened by him. What was even more tragic was that this guy wanted to pull her in and let her take over!?
Chen Rong was about to go crazy, but she knew it was impossible to explain to Lei Zhen. She just wanted to cut ties with him as soon as possible.
She was very clear that as long as she showed enough loyalty to Rose, she would still be the first in line to inherit the position of the president. Moreover, Rose usually did not care much about the internal affairs of the association. As the successor, she actually held a lot of power.
Although it was a pity, it was still better than losing her life!
Lei Zhen's face darkened. He said, "Since Miss Chen is so humble, then I will add fuel to the fire. For the future prosperity of the Red Thorns Society, it is time for a change of blood. President Situ, thank you for taking care of me all these years. Let me, Lei Zhen, send you on your last journey. "
As he said this, Lei Zhen opened the safety of his gun and aimed it at Qiangwei's head. He was about to shoot.
At this moment, Old Li, whose legs had already turned to jelly, was dumbfounded. Chen Rong's face was white as snow. Lei Zhen and the rest of the Red Thorns Society's people were full of excitement, as if they could see a new future. As for Qiangwei, her face was as calm as still water, as if the gun was not pointed at her head.
"Hey, Leader Lei, the weather is so dry that it's easy to misfire. I think you should stop shooting."
After watching from the side for a long time, Yang Cheng, who had been silent all this time, finally finished eating the lamb skewer in his hand. As he spoke, he took a few poor quality napkins from Old Li's stall and wiped the grease off his hands.
From the beginning, Yang Cheng, an ordinary stranger, was not noticed by Lei Zhen and the others.
Although many of the people around Qiangwei recognized Yang Cheng, they were only the elites of Qiangwei's direct line of descent. Lei Zhen and the other leaders did not have much of an impression of Yang Cheng even if they had seen him before.
Lei Zhen's eyebrows furrowed. "Who are you?"
In this kind of situation, someone who could still remain calm shouldn't be an ordinary person. This was only Lei Zhen's first reaction.
"Don't misunderstand. I am Qiangwei's man. I am not a bad person." Yang Cheng smiled and said, "I just wanted to kindly advise you. Your gun is a bit old. Who knows if it will misfire and you will hurt yourself. Let's talk things over peacefully."
Lei Zhen could not help but laugh out loud. He looked at Yang Cheng with disdain. "I remember now. There is indeed a man by the president's side with the surname Yang. I heard that you have some ability. I thought that you were brave, but it turns out that you are just putting on an act. Misfire? What a joke! This gun has been with me for more than ten years. It is as trustworthy as my hand. Do you think I am a three year old child? "
Yang Cheng frowned in distress. "Why don't you believe me? Based on my many years of experience, there really is a problem with your gun."
"It's your brain that has a problem!" Lei Zhen suddenly turned the gun around and aimed it at Yang Cheng's head. "Since you say that my gun misfired, then I will first set your brain on fire!"
At this moment, Chen Rong, whose nerves were stretched taut, looked at Lei Zhen in despair. She knew that Lei Zhen was already a dead man.
Lei Zhen felt that he was being played by Yang Cheng. How could he care about anything else? He directly pulled the trigger!
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out and the ground exploded. The civilians in the distance screamed in fear!
On the other hand, the members of the direct line of descent behind Lei Zhen all revealed doubtful expressions. They realized that their boss's accurate marksmanship seemed to have missed this time, because the lazy fellow named Yang Chen was still standing there unscathed.
But what happened next caused them all to fall into a state of panic!
Lei Zhen stood there with his back facing them. Suddenly, the hand that was holding the gun slid down. The gun in his hand also fell to the ground. Lei Zhen's body, which was not very tall, fell backwards …
"Pa …"
A cloud of dust flew up. Lei Zhen had fallen!
"Boss!"
"Boss!?"
A group of Lei Zhen's subordinates cried out in shock. They could not believe their eyes as they looked at Lei Zhen who had fallen on his back!
They were shocked to discover that on Lei Zhen's forehead, there was a large hole with blood flowing out!
Dark red liquid flowed down from his forehead, dying half of Lei Zhen's face scarlet. Lei Zhen's eyes were still wide open, as if he had died with a grievance. He could not believe his own death!
At this moment, the calm Yang Chen yawned and said helplessly, "I told you that your gun was too lousy and would misfire. Look at you now, the bullet flew to your head. Tsk tsk … I told you that I'm a good person, but you wouldn't listen to me even if we could talk things out."
Other than Qiangwei, who was slightly surprised, everyone else looked at Yang Cheng in shock. It was as if they had seen a demon!
Misfire!? Only an idiot would believe that!
Everyone came to a sudden realization. In the blink of an eye, at the moment when the gun was fired, this man named Yang Chen actually used some unknown method to deflect the bullet that was originally shot into Lei Zhen's head!
This was not something that could be seen with the naked eye. In other words, this man named Yang Cheng was not human!!
When humans encountered something that was illusory and difficult to understand, such as ghosts and spirits, it was easy for them to develop an indescribable fear.
At this time, the people present had developed an irresistible sense of fear towards Yang Cheng … They did not even have the strength to run away, not to mention resist, let alone avenge Lei Zhen!
Qiangwei was already able to accept Yang Cheng's unfathomable strength. She quickly recovered from her shock and said to the group of people, "There is no need to stand there in a daze. Your boss is already dead. Right now, you only have two choices in front of you. The first is to be buried with Lei Zhen and show your loyalty to him in the underworld. Second, be loyal to the Red Thorns Society. I will assign a new leader to you. "
Only an idiot would pledge loyalty to a dead man!
The group of people immediately fell to the ground. With snot and tears running down their faces, they began to cry. They loudly reprimanded Lei Zhen for his "evil deeds". They said that no matter how much they were oppressed by Lei Zhen, they had no choice. They also talked about how much they loved Qiangwei and how much they wanted to go through fire and water for the Red Thorns Society. The group of men were all crying their eyes out!
Qiangwei felt annoyed listening to them. She waved her hand and said, "Take Lei Zhen away. Don't block the street."
Hearing that Qiangwei was letting them go, the group of people felt as if they had been pardoned. They dragged Lei Zhen's corpse as if it was a snakeskin bag and ran away dejectedly.
Before they left, these people subconsciously looked back at Yang Cheng. It was as if they were afraid that some kind of bullet would suddenly fly into their heads.
Their lives were hanging by a thread, but the mutiny ended like a farce. Yang Cheng, who ended everything, acted as if he had not done anything. There was not a single trace of emotion on his face.
Chen Rong stood not far away. Her delicate body trembled. She did not dare to speak. She did not dare to face Qiangwei. She knew that Qiangwei would definitely say something to her.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Qiangwei said, "Come here."
Chen Rong did not dare to say a word. She silently walked to Qiangwei's side and stood still.
"Pa!!"
A loud slap landed on Chen Rong's cheek. Chen Rong's body twisted from the slap. She felt a burning pain and left a fiery red palm print!
Chen Rong's eyes immediately became moist. She clearly remembered that from the first time they met, Qiangwei had taken care of her for almost a year. She treated her like a sister. This was the first time Qiangwei had hit her! And in such a straightforward manner!
