Although Ma Zi was just a lackey of the Axe Gang, he knew that the surname of the Axe Gang had always been the Wang Family, and most of the gang members still had feelings for the Wang Family.
Now that Hong Junyang had succeeded in usurping the throne, it didn't mean that they would sincerely support him even if they didn't dare to resist. There would be no problem for them to put up a soft resistance.
Zhang Luzi nodded thoughtfully. To a certain extent, Ma Zi's thoughts represented the thoughts of most members of the Axe Gang. Whether it was because they couldn't bear to see the old Wang Family being exterminated, or because they couldn't bear to see Hong Junyang using despicable means to get the throne, they didn't need to be so serious even if it was just to accumulate some merits for themselves.
Hong Junyang's ascension to the throne could only affect the senior members of the gang. A new leader brought his own ministers. The subordinates who were loyal to the old gang leader would definitely be purged, but the ordinary members would never be affected. Otherwise, it would arouse public anger and lead to a mutiny, which would destroy the foundation of the gang. Hong Junyang was not that stupid.
Small people also had their own way of life. They had no ambition and were content with the status quo. They didn't want to make contributions to get rich. They just wanted to make a living. This general idea led to the Axe Gang coming here with a large force, but Demon Wolf and Wang Yuqiu were destined to escape safely.
However, things in this world often wouldn't change according to the will of most people. There were always some people who wanted to stand out and make great contributions, such as Brother Jin, who was eager to atone for his crimes, and Fang Xinghai, Wang Yuqiu's former bodyguard.
In the angry scolding of the adults in the village and the crying of the children, the members of the Axe Gang, who had gained nothing, looked at the bald Hall Leader, whose face was as gloomy as water. They lowered their heads in fear, knowing that the bald Hall Leader was on the verge of exploding at any time!
"Search, search again. This time, I will lead the team in person. Find them even if you have to dig three feet into the ground!"
Seeing that the boss was silent for a long time with a long face, Brother Jin suddenly shivered. He knew that the boss was very dissatisfied with the result. At least, he didn't get what he wanted.
Based on his understanding of the bald man, if he really let Wang Yuqiu escape, in order to appease the anger of the new gang leader, he was likely to hand him over to be the scapegoat. Therefore, he had to take the risk. Even if it was just for show, he had to show his loyalty to the bald man. Therefore, before the bald Hall Leader could speak, he roared on his own initiative.
"This fishing village isn't that big, but it's not that small either. It'll take a lot of time to search the entire area. How about this, Brother Jin, I'll also bring a group of people. Let's split up and search. That way, we'll be faster!"
Fang Xinghai was not stupid. Both he and Brother Jin were arranged by the bald man to be Wang Yuqiu's bodyguards so that they could monitor Wang Yuqiu's movements at all times. This time, Wang Yuqiu ran to the seaside, and he also had an unshirkable responsibility. His status was lower than that of Brother Jin, but it was still much higher than that of ordinary gang members. If someone wanted to be the scapegoat, he definitely could not escape. However, if he successfully found Wang Yuqiu, then he would be rich.
Therefore, he immediately took the initiative to ask, "Okay, each of you will lead a team to search again. This time, you must search more carefully. Don't let go of any clues!"
The bald Hall Leader nodded with satisfaction. He also knew the thoughts of those ordinary gang members. The search was just a formality. Although he didn't have any hope, at least he needed to make a big noise. If the news reached the ears of the new gang leader, even if he was to be held responsible, he would be given a lighter punishment.
He had already made up his mind. If there was no result after one more search, he would withdraw his team and leave a hundred brothers to patrol the seaside. First, he wanted to see if they could find Wang Yuqiu's body. Second, he wanted to show enough attitude to Hong Junyang. In such a terrible weather, he was not interested in staying here to suffer.
Half an hour later, when Brother Jin returned with his team dejectedly and said that he still found nothing, the bald man felt that he had done enough acting and could retreat. At this time, Fang Xinghai sent a message that he had found some clues.
Hearing this, the bald man was suddenly stunned. Under the jealous eyes of Brother Jin, he quickly followed the people sent by Fang Xinghai to Nannan's house.
People often said that hair was long and wisdom was short. This sentence was not without reason. The problem was that Wang Yuqiu changed her clothes.
Maybe Nannan's mother didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, or maybe she was used to living a hard life and was diligent and thrifty. Nannan's mother knew that Wang Yuqiu's clothes were very valuable and high-end goods. Each piece of clothing might be enough for her family's food expenses for a year, so she didn't want to dispose of them. Instead, she put them away. She planned to wash and dry Wang Yuqiu's clothes and let Demon Wolf bring them to her when the weather cleared up.
Ordinary people would not care even if they saw it. It was not impossible for a fisherman's house to have one or two valuable clothes. However, Fang Xinghai was Wang Yuqiu's bodyguard. He clearly knew what she wore today, so he recognized that it was her clothes at a glance. In addition, the clothes were wet with the salty smell of the sea. He was more certain that Wang Yuqiu must have been here.
When the bald Hall Chief arrived with a large group of people, Fang Xinghai was ferociously interrogating Nannan's mother, who was holding the crying little Nannan in her arms and shivering. "Tell me, where did you get these clothes?"
"What the hell do you want to do? Breaking into our house and rummaging through things is a crime. I have already called the police. If you don't leave, the police will arrest you all! "
Nannan's father was He Shoucheng. He was an honest fisherman. At this moment, although his voice was trembling, he still protected Nannan and her mother behind him like a man and scolded them sternly.
"Call the police? To tell you the truth, we are the police. If you don't tell us honestly where you hid the female prisoner, we will arrest you as accomplices and interrogate you. "
Although Fang Xinghai felt guilty in his heart, he rolled his eyes and continued to threaten them. He had no psychological pressure in deceiving these uncultured and honest fishermen.
He Shoucheng and his wife looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes. They usually dealt with fishmongers, so they had a natural fear of the police who represented justice.
"Are you the police?"
Nannan's mother asked with a pale face and trembling lips.
"Of course we are the police. To tell you the truth, the owner of these clothes is a wanted criminal who has committed a heinous crime. We are here to arrest him. If you continue to cover up for him stubbornly, you have committed the crime of covering up. At least, you will be sentenced to more than three years in prison!"
Fang Xinghai was secretly happy and said pretentiously. After all, it was a society ruled by law now. If they could find Wang Yuqiu's whereabouts without doing anything, it would save them a lot of trouble.
"She …"
Nannan's mother panicked. "Is that beautiful and generous girl really a criminal?" When she was about to say something, she was stopped by He Shoucheng's stern eyes.
"If you are the police, please show me your ID. I want to verify your identity."
Although He Shoucheng had not seen much of the world, he knew that the police on TV had to show their ID when investigating a case. These people broke into his house like bandits and did not look like the police at all. He immediately had an idea and said righteously.
Fang Xinghai's face became gloomy. He thought that he could coax a country bumpkin fisherman with a few words, but he did not expect that they needed to show him their ID. Where did they get the ID?
At this time, the bald Hall Chief walked in with his men aggressively. "Xinghai, what's going on?"
"Boss, this is the clothes that Wang Yuqiu changed out of. It still smells of the sea. They must have hidden it."
Fang Xinghai could not continue acting. He glared at He Shoucheng with a fierce look and turned around to report respectfully.
The bald Hall Chief narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure?"
"Yes, this is the clothes that Wang Yuqiu wore when she went out today. I'm sure!"
Brother Jin was very unhappy that Fang Xinghai had stolen his limelight, so he immediately rushed to show off.
"Then why are you still talking? Ask them to hand her over to me!"
The bald Hall Chief looked at He Shoucheng's family of three who were trembling. He swaggered to the only chair, crossed his legs, and ordered them.
"Are you not the police? Do you still have the law? Not only did you break into a private house, but you also dared to pretend to be a policeman! "
He Shoucheng shouted angrily, but Brother Jin sneered and kicked him to the ground. Brother Jin went up and punched and kicked him. "Law? You dare to talk about the law? I am the law. If you don't hand her over today, I will kill you!"
"Shoucheng … Stop beating him, stop beating him …"
Seeing that He Shoucheng's face was covered with blood, Nannan's mother cried and rushed to He Shoucheng's body to protect him. However, Fang Xinghai, who felt that Brother Jin had beaten her to it, kicked her in the waist fiercely. She screamed miserably.
He Shoucheng's face was covered with blood. He shouted sadly and rushed to Nannan's mother's body, enduring the punches and kicks of Brother Jin and Fang Xinghai. Blood kept flowing out of his mouth.
"Dad, Mom … Boohoo, you are all bad people, boohoo …"
After all, Nannan was a child. She had never seen such a scene. Seeing that her parents were beaten and covered with blood, she was so scared that her face turned pale. She wiped her tears and cried loudly!
"Stop!"
The bald-headed Hall Master's eyes lit up when he saw the cute little Nannan. He waved his hand and ordered the two of them to stop. A big bad wolf's fake smile appeared on his face. "Little girl, tell uncle, where is the big sister hiding in your house?"
"Bad people, you are all bad people. I … I have never seen beautiful big sister before!"
Nannan still remembered Demon Wolf's instructions and cried as she shouted. However, when he heard her say this, the bald-headed Hall Master laughed. He reached out and grabbed Nannan's collar and lifted her up with one hand. A sense of pride flashed in his eyes. "You haven't said you haven't seen her. I only said big sister earlier, but you said beautiful big sister. How would you know that she is beautiful big sister if you haven't seen her before?"
"Boohoo, boohoo, boohoo …"
Nannan's neck was choked by the collar. Her breathing was severely impeded. Her face was flushed red as she cried loudly.
"Let go of her, she is still a child. You bastard … Ugh!"
When He Shoucheng saw that his beloved daughter had been grabbed, he immediately roared in grief and indignation as he climbed up. He wanted to fight the bald-headed Hall Master, but Brother Jin sneered and kicked him into the wall. He fainted and blood quickly spread on the ground.
"I will fight you to the death!"
Seeing that her daughter was captured and her husband was beaten to the point where it was unknown whether he was dead or alive, Nannan's mother was anxious to protect her child. She suddenly jumped up from the ground and grabbed the bald-headed Hall Master's right arm and fiercely bit down.
"Ahwooh … Let go of me!"
The bald-headed Hall Master's face turned green from the pain. He kicked Nannan's mother's stomach with all his might, wanting her to let go. However, the power of a mother's love was great. Nannan's mother was beaten until blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth, but her eyes flashed with an ominous glint. She refused to let go of the wailing Nannan.
Brother Jin and Fang Xinghai hurriedly grabbed Nannan's mother's hair and used all their strength to pull her out. They wanted her to let go, but even after her hair was pulled out and revealed her bloody scalp, they still couldn't make her let go. Instead, the bald-headed Hall Master was in so much pain that he screamed like a pig being slaughtered. He had no choice but to let go of the wailing Nannan.
"Pu!"
