Capítulo 1196: Chapter 803: Setting a Trap

“That’s right, everything I’ve done is to protect my family and friends, but I won’t compromise like you, sacrificing innocent people just to protect my loved ones from harm.” Liu Hun’s face was full of mockery.

Before, these two people were the ones Liu Hun respected the most, besides the old man, but at this moment, that respect would completely disappear.

“Liu Hun, everyone makes their own choices. We know our choice was wrong, so we’ve been doing our best to remedy it. Otherwise, when you first appeared, we wouldn’t have helped you like this.” Old Master Cheng, facing Liu Hun’s ridicule, remained calm and said to him.

“If it really comes to that, and someday they’re threatening you to choose between your family, friends, and me, I suppose you wouldn’t hesitate to make that choice, would you?” Liu Hun sneered.

In his view, although the two were nice to him before, they deceived him, and in the future, no one can guarantee such a situation won’t come up. If it does, Liu Hun is almost certain they would betray him without hesitation.

This was not the outcome Liu Hun wanted to see; likewise, there were still many people behind him who would also be hurt if he fell.

“Liu Hun, I know you don’t trust us anymore, but that doesn’t matter. This time, if you can resolve the current crisis, we will help you with the subsequent issues in Southeast Province, just like in Huaihai Province, thoroughly under your control. You wouldn’t want to see Southeast Province fall under their control, right? As for what happens later, that’s for the future. Also, after this, we won’t be involved anymore. You wouldn’t even have to pay attention to us old men; consider it a request from us.” Old Master Cheng spoke seriously to Liu Hun at this moment.

“If there’s nothing else, may I leave now?” Liu Hun didn’t plan to continue talking to the two old men; some things have been said enough already.

The two sides are aware of each other’s identities, so Liu Hun felt there was no need to continue the conversation.

“I hope you’ll consider this matter carefully; here’s the ticket for the meeting at two o’clock the day after tomorrow.” Old Master Cheng took an exquisitely made ticket out of his pocket and handed it to Liu Hun.

Liu Hun glanced at the ticket on the table and didn’t even look again, turning directly to walk out of the room.

Watching Liu Hun leave without hesitation, Old Master Cheng and Old Master Zhang exchanged a helpless glance.

Currently, in the country, the only one with the ability to stop the other side is Liu Hun. After all, this matter is of great significance, and Liu Hun, with both his status and capability, is indeed a formidable force.

Although the two believed Liu Hun’s chances of success were slim, in this world, one needs a bit of hope; otherwise, there’s no meaning in living.

“Old Cheng, do you think Liu Hun will agree to this? After all, we did deceive him back then.” After Liu Hun left, Old Master Zhang asked Old Master Cheng with a worried expression.

“It’s true that we were wrong back then, but from our perspective, anyone might have agreed given the circumstances since we had no other choice. But I think Liu Hun will come. Southeast Province is his base, and he wouldn’t want to see his base in trouble.” Old Master Cheng replied calmly to Old Master Zhang, taking a deep breath.

However, even Old Master Cheng wasn’t very confident in his words. If it were them and they were truly not the opponents of these people, they would undoubtedly take their family and friends and leave the country. Given Liu Hun’s ability, he’d definitely have the power to do that.

If Liu Hun moved all his family and friends overseas, then these people wouldn’t cause trouble for Liu Hun. After all, nobody wants to provoke a strong enemy for no reason.

“His position exists as it is; if he really plans to stand by, perhaps the Liu Family would even allow it.” Old Master Zhang sighed and didn’t say any more.

They had done everything they could regarding this matter, and how Liu Hun would choose next was his decision.

After leaving the Zhang Family, Liu Hun’s face showed no expression, but his mood was heavy. Regarding the matters in that document, even though Liu Hun saw it at the time, he was reluctant to believe it. But now, with the two old men personally acknowledging it, he felt used and deceived by those he trusted the most — an unpleasant feeling for anyone.

“Boss, are you okay?” Wang Xiaofei, who had been waiting outside the Zhang Family house, quickly came out of the car, worriedly asking Liu Hun as he walked out with his head down.

“I’m fine. Let’s go; we need to see Uncle Liu. We still have a lot to deal with.” Liu Hun shook his head at Wang Xiaofei, instructing him.

Seeing Liu Hun not explaining the situation, Wang Xiaofei sighed inwardly and said nothing more, getting into the car and slowly starting it.

Wang Xiaofei hadn’t been with Liu Hun for a short time, so he understood his character. In difficult times, Liu Hun would rather bear it alone than let everyone worry.

As Wang Xiaofei started the car, Liu Hun thought for a moment, took out his phone, and made a call. When the call connected, he instructed, “Buy a ticket to Southeast Province immediately. I’ll wait for you in the Provincial City. I’ll have someone pick you up at the airport. The good days are over.”

After finishing, Liu Hun hung up the phone, his voice carrying a hint of cold killing intent.

“Screech!” Just as Liu Hun ended the call, Wang Xiaofei suddenly slammed on the brakes, causing an ear-piercing sound to echo through the quiet alley.

In his hurry, Wang Xiaofei had taken a shortcut, and now, an elderly man lay slowly in front of Liu Hun’s car, moaning softly.

Upon hearing the sound, Wang Xiaofei’s face filled with anger, cursing under his breath, “Damn it, trying to scam me? You’re asking for it!”

Then he opened the car door, heading towards the old man in front of their car.

Liu Hun, sitting in the passenger seat, just frowned slightly, not intending to get out.

“Dad, are you okay? Tell me where it hurts.” As Wang Xiaofei got out of the car, a young man suddenly appeared, helping the old man up, full of concern.

“They hit me with their car. Don’t let them leave! Oh, my leg hurts; it must be broken.” The older man, dressed relatively cleanly, couldn’t stop complaining, as if Wang Xiaofei had really hit him.

But Wang Xiaofei knew perfectly well that the old man had stepped in front of them on his own, clearly a professional scammer.

“Scamming me, and it’s the first time I’ve seen it.” Wang Xiaofei stood disdainfully before the pair, saying, “If you don’t leave now, I’ll just drive over you.”

“Yeah? Act so righteous after hitting someone? Go on, run me over if you dare!” The old man, hearing Wang Xiaofei, wasn’t happy and shouted loudly.

“Kid, I don’t care who you are, but hitting someone puts you in the wrong. How do you plan to resolve this? Going to the hospital or paying up?” The young man helping the old man looked at Wang Xiaofei coldly.

“Damn, let’s go to the hospital. If nothing’s wrong with the old man, you’ll regret it!” Wang Xiaofei glanced up at people peeking from homes above the alley, realizing he couldn’t get rough since that would only cause more trouble, and he didn’t want to hassle Liu Hun, who was in a bad mood.

After Wang Xiaofei’s words, Liu Hun suddenly got out of the car, glanced at the elderly man, and calmly asked the young man, “How much do you want?”

“Fifty thousand. My dad’s leg is like this because of you. If it needs to be amputated, his life is over. Adding mental distress, it’s at least fifty thousand; otherwise, we’re going to the hospital or the police.” The young man originally wanted to say ten thousand but changed it to fifty thousand after seeing the car they drove.
