Not to mention him, even his trusted aides behind Lei Zhen thought that their boss' plan was feasible. They did not expect Chen Rong to not agree. In their eyes, although Qiangwei was worthy of respect, Lei Zhen was their parents. If the new boss came, he would have to clean up the core members of the area – they would not have a good time.
Unfortunately, Lei Zhen and the rest could not understand. As one of the people who participated in the banquet during the West Union Society period, the reason why Chen Rong was so afraid was not because she was afraid of Qiangwei. It was because the person she feared the most was not Qiangwei, the chairman, but Yang Chen!
At first, Yang Chen was a friend of her brother Chen Bo. Later, he was Qiangwei's lover. Later, Chen Rong felt that Yang Chen was an unimaginable existence.
She would never forget the scene of Yang Chen slaughtering more than 40 armed men into rivers of blood at the banquet that day!
Needless to say, that kind of thing wasn't something that humans could do. Even now, when Chen Rong came back to her dreams at midnight, she would still see the scene from her nightmares. She would wake up in fright and break out in a cold sweat.
Only a few people knew what Yang Chen did behind the Red Thorn Society. Because Yang Chen never wanted to formally join the organisation, Lei Zhen had no idea about his power.
To Chen Rong, the usual Yang Chen was gentle. He was like an ordinary big brother, but the fear towards Yang Chen was hard to express from the bottom of her heart!
She was a clever girl. If it wasn't like that, Qiangwei wouldn't have chosen her as the successor. Because she was smart, she understood clearly from the beginning that the reason why Qiangwei dared to give up her position was not because Qiangwei herself had absolute power, but because as long as Yang Chen stood behind her, Qiangwei would not care about anything.
At this moment, this stupid Lei Zhen actually wanted to use a bunch of boorish men and the broken spear in his hand to make Qiangwei submit obediently and be threatened by him. What was even more lamentable was that this fellow wanted to pull her up, and even said something about letting her ascend to the throne!?
Chen Rong was going crazy, but she also knew it was impossible to explain it to Lei Zhen. She just wanted to get the relationship over with as quickly as possible.
She knew very well that as long as she expressed her loyalty to Qiangwei, she would still be the president's first-in-line successor. Furthermore, Qiangwei usually didn't care about the guild's affairs, but as the successor, she held a lot of power.
Although there was some regret, it was better than losing his life!
Lei Zhen's face darkened, and said: "Since Miss Chen is so humble, then I'll just add fuel to the fire. For the Red Thorn Society's future prosperity, it's time to change our blood. Chairman Situ, thank you for taking care of me all these years. Let me, Lei Zhen, send you on your final journey. "
Saying that, Lei Zhen turned on the safety of the gun, aimed at Qiangwei's head and was about to open fire.
At this moment, Old Lee, who had long been scared to the point that his legs had gone limp, had a demented look in his eyes. Chen Rong had a snow-white face, while Lei Zhen and the other direct descendents were filled with excitement, as if they had seen a new future. As for Qiangwei, her face was as calm as water, as if the gun wasn't pointed at her head.
"Hey, I'm talking about that Lei Hall Master. The weather is very dry right now, and it's easy for you to accidentally hurt others. I think it's better if you don't shoot."
After observing for a long time, Yang Chen, who didn't say anything, finally finished the mutton skewers in his hand. As he spoke, he took a few inferior napkins from Old Lee's stall and wiped off the grease on his hands.
From the beginning, Lei Zhen didn't notice Yang Chen, an ordinary stranger.
Although many of the people around Qiangwei knew Yang Chen, only Qiangwei's direct disciples, Lei Zhen and many other Hall Master's would not have much of an impression of him.
Lei Zhen frowned, "Who are you?"
Someone who could remain calm in this kind of situation was most likely no ordinary character. This was only Lei Zhen's first reaction.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm Qiangwei's man and not a bad person." Yang Chen smiled and said, "I was just trying to persuade you out of my good intentions. Your gun is a bit old, it might hurt yourself later. Let's be friendly and make money. If you have something to say, we can talk about it."
Lei Zhen burst into laughter and looked at Yang Chen in disdain, "I remember now, there is a man with the surname Yang beside the president — — I heard that you have some skills, I thought you have guts. So you are just a fake, a mysterious guy. This gun has followed me for more than ten years and is as trustworthy as my hand. Do you take me as a three year old child? "
Yang Chen frowned in distress, "Why don't you believe it? Based on my many years of experience, there's really something wrong with your gun."
"There's something wrong with your head!" Lei Zhen suddenly turned the gun and pointed it at Yang Chen's head, "Since you said that my gun went off, then I'll first make your head catch on fire!"
At this moment, Chen Rong, who was in a tense state, looked at Lei Zhen in despair. She clearly knew that Lei Zhen was already dead.
Lei Zhen felt that he was being toyed with by Yang Chen, so he did not care and immediately pulled the trigger!
"Bam!"
The sound of a gunshot rang out, and the explosion was heard by the civilians in the streets, who were shouting in alarm!
As for the direct line of descent behind Lei Zhen, all of them revealed a suspicious look. They realized that their boss's accurate marksmanship seemed to be wrong this time, because that lazy guy called Yang Chen was still standing there unscathed.
However, what happened next caused them all to panic!
Lei Zhen, who was standing with his back facing them, suddenly dropped the gun. The gun in his hand fell to the ground from his fingers. Lei Zhen's not very tall body softly fell backwards …
"Pa …"
A cloud of dust flew. Lei Zhen, he fell!
"Boss!"
"Big Brother!?"
The group of Lei Zhen's subordinates exclaimed and looked in disbelief at Lei Zhen who fell onto the ground!
They were shocked to discover that there was a huge hole on Lei Zhen's forehead!
A dark red liquid flowed out from his forehead and dyed half of Lei Zhen's face scarlet. Lei Zhen's eyes, on the other hand, were still wide open as if he died with grievance, unable to believe his own death!
At this moment, the calm Yang Chen yawned and helplessly said, "I already told you, if your gun is too broken, it will go off. The bullet flew to your head, and I said I'm a good person, why aren't you talking properly?"
Other than Qiangwei, who was slightly shocked, everyone else looked at Yang Chen in shock as if they had seen a demon!
Only an idiot would believe that a gun had accidentally hurt him!
Everyone suddenly came to their senses. In the split-second when he fired the shot, this man called Yang Chen actually shot the bullet that was originally shot out into Lei Zhen's head in some way!
All of this was not something that could be seen with the naked eye. In other words, this man called Yang Chen was not human!
When humans encountered something that was difficult to figure out, such as a supernatural being, it was easy for them to feel indescribable fear.
At this moment, everyone present felt an irresistible fear towards Yang Chen … They didn't even have the strength to run, let alone fight back, let alone take revenge for Lei Zhen!
Qiangwei had already accepted Yang Chen's unfathomable strength. She quickly recovered from her shock and said to the group of people: "No need to stand there stunned, your boss is already dead, and you only have two choices left. The first, accompany Lei Zhen and go underground to express your loyalty to him, the second, be loyal to Red Thorn Society, I will send a new Hall Master to you all."
Only a fool would give allegiance to a dead person!
The group of people immediately fell to the ground, sniffling and crying. They scolded Lei Zhen loudly for his "evil deeds" — how they were oppressed by Lei Zhen. They had no other choice but to talk about how they loved Qiangwei and how they wished to go through fire and water for Red Thorn Society. The group of men were all in tears!
Qiangwei felt annoyed listening to that. She waved her hand and said, "Take Lei Zhen away, don't block the street here."
After hearing that Qiangwei had let them go, the group of people acted as if they were granted amnesty. They dragged Lei Zhen's corpse and ran away like they were dragging a snakeskin bag.
Before they left, these people subconsciously turned around to look at Yang Chen, as if they were afraid that some kind of bullet would suddenly fly onto their heads.
The mutiny that was hanging by a thread ended like a farce. Yang Chen, who had ended everything, acted as if he had done nothing and no emotions could be seen in him.
Chen Rong stood not far away, her delicate body trembling. She didn't dare to say anything, didn't dare to face Qiangwei. She knew that Qiangwei would definitely tell her something.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Qiangwei called out, "Come here."
Chen Rong didn't dare to ask another question. She walked up to Qiangwei silently and stood beside her.
A resounding slap landed on Chen Rong's face. Chen Rong even twisted her body away from the slap. The burning pain left a fiery red palm imprint on her face.
A sparkle appeared in Chen Rong's eyes. She clearly remembered that from their first meeting until now, Qiangwei had treated her very well, as if she was her own little sister. This was the first time Qiangwei had beaten her up! She hit him very directly!
