Chapter 1418 - 1419: Fierce Battle 6
A howl of pain, followed by a couple of curses mumbled before going silent.
Old Jin, who had been on guard, watched, still suspicious.
"Get up, keep drinking, I have many secrets you don’t know, and today I’ll tell you all about them!"
"Hey, I say, you little rascal!"
"Get up, quickly!"
Old Jin lifted his foot, kicking the young man hard in the temple. The young man groaned in pain, rolled over on the ground, and continued snoring soundly.
Seeing the young man really asleep, Old Jin exhaled a long breath of relief.
This kind of opportunity was naturally rare.
Killer intent flashed across Old Jin’s eyes briefly, unwilling to wait any longer, fearing complications from delays, he quickly reached for the gun at his waist.
But he had really drunk too much, and coupled with age, he couldn’t drink as he used to when young. His vision blurred, and just as he drew his gun, Old Jin toppled off the chair.
With a bang, he fell beside the young man.
A gasp followed by the sound of heavy snoring filled the air shortly after.
The young man, who had been asleep before, suddenly got up from the ground after confirming Old Jin was really asleep.
Looking at Old Jin’s hand gripping the gun, flashes of hatred and dread crossed his eyes.
He also had a gun, but firing it now would definitely draw a lot of people.
Old Jin was their boss here; if it was discovered he killed Old Jin, they wouldn’t let him go. No one would believe him even if he explained why.
The young man hesitated for a moment, suddenly remembering Bai Chenyao that Old Jin mentioned.
He actually knew of that person, a legend in the army.
It’s a pity he took the wrong path back then, now on this road of no return.
Filled with both regret and fear, thinking of Old Jin killing him once he wakes, he decided to strike first.
Pulling out a dagger from his boot, the young man flipped Old Jin over, sighed in relief upon seeing Old Jin not waking.
He covered Old Jin’s mouth and then forcefully cut Old Jin’s throat with the dagger.
Blood instantly splattered on his face.
Old Jin’s eyes popped wide in his sleep, struggling violently, the young man using all his strength to hold him down, muffle him, not letting him call for help, until Old Jin stopped breathing, leaving the young man drenched in cold sweat collapsed onto the ground.
Hearing footsteps outside, he suddenly came to his senses.
He had to escape immediately!
As for the secrets he’d heard from Old Jin, he did not plan to tell anyone.
Though he’d been here only a short time, he knew these were all ruthless outlaws, nearly all with blood on their hands.
No one would believe a rookie!
The young man didn’t care about anything else, taking Old Jin’s gun from the waist, putting away the dagger, taking advantage of the night, carrying rations, he left the camp overnight.
——
The news of Old Jin’s murder reached drug lord Thunder Eagle’s ears early the next morning.
Thunder Eagle was indeed not at Qi Mountain, but in Charlin Province.
Because Lei Dafu’s little lover was restless, Thunder Eagle worried that someone might be targeting Lei Dafu, who was solely focused on the child his little lover was carrying.
Especially at this critical time, if Bai Chenyao were to return, Lei Dafu would be finished.
He didn’t care about Lei Dafu’s life, but Lei Dafu knew too many secrets and if they fell into Bai Chenyao’s hands, their losses would be tremendous.
So, when he heard Lei Dafu had left Qi Mountain, Thunder Eagle, who was initially not in Xia Country, flew back directly from abroad, and coming back with him was his younger sister, Lei Xin.
