Chapter 282 Let her go
A look of surprise flashed across the big boss's eyes, then he said in a fleeting moment, "You seem out of place for your status."
Bai Lu remained calm and composed, her clear and noble eyes showing no sign of unease as she calmly dealt with the boss's probing and scrutinizing gaze.
Even sitting upright with legs together, he was relaxed and at ease, without the slightest tension or unease of being kidnapped.
It was as if she was just a guest, only her manner was a little different, and the whole thing was uneventful from beginning to end.
The big boss lit a cigar, took a slow puff, and looked at the customer with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
Smoke and voice spilled from his lips: "Xiao Cheng is not a womanizer. You deserve a lot of credit for keeping him in Xinzhen for so long without ever setting foot in Nanshi again."
When the words "merit" were uttered, there was a distinctly ambiguous sneer, implying that Bai Lu's methods were brilliant.
Bai Lu's mouth was sealed with tape, preventing her from speaking, but that didn't stop her from giving him a cold laugh with her eyes.
The big boss narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone ambiguous: "Xiao Cheng should have had a better future, but you held him back."
Bai Lu didn't even give him a cold laugh.
Better development?
It's about pushing Xiao Cheng out as cannon fodder, using him as a pawn to instigate conflict between him and Li Chengbin's father-in-law.
Is it a good career path that leads to being arrested and suffering in jail?
The big boss seemed to be able to see what Bai Lu was thinking from her clear eyes, and his expression and tone were as calm as still water.
"That was a test for Xiao Cheng. Once he returns from his trials, he will be able to rule a region of the martial world on his own."
If Bai Lu hadn't seen Xiao Cheng's memories, she wouldn't have believed the big boss's nonsense...
He's the kind of person who's all sanctimonious and hypocritical.
In his previous life, when Xiao Cheng, Luo Shiliu, and others were taken to the police station, the big boss never took any action to bail them out.
He was focused on fighting for territory with Li Chengbin's father-in-law, directing his men to openly and secretly provoke and instigate conflict.
They turned Pingcheng and the surrounding counties upside down.
If the matter hadn't blown up so much that higher authorities hadn't sent people down to crack down on it and reopen the case...
Xiao Cheng, Luo Shiliu, Xiao Dazhuang, and Wang Hao had no idea when they would be able to get out.
When he emerged, he was already covered in bruises from the ordeal...
The big boss smiled enigmatically as Bai Lu stared at him like he was an enemy.
"You managed to resolve things in the end, didn't you?"
Bai Lu gave him an obvious cold look.
That was my achievement.
It has absolutely nothing to do with you.
You're just seeing that Xiao Cheng is safe and sound now, and even running a business in Pingcheng. You've discovered that Xiao Cheng has a business mind, so you want to call him back to continue exploiting him.
After all, Xiao Cheng was the most capable person in the organization, surpassing ordinary people in everything he did, and never suffered a defeat.
After Xiao Cheng left, the organization arranged for others to take over his work, but none of them could assess the situation and handle people as well as he could. None of them could satisfy you.
The claim that he would return from his trials and tribulations and rule a region alone, wielding immense power, is nothing but a smokescreen.
In the end, they would definitely leave the most chaotic and barren place to Xiao Cheng to manage, without letting him earn a single penny more.
Looking at the indignant Bai Lu, the big boss seemed to understand why Xiao Cheng had been bewitched by her.
"Indeed, it's not just an empty shell, but also a soul."
“I waited for Xiao Cheng to suffer outside and come back to beg me, but I never expected that he would enjoy the benefits outside.”
The big boss sneered, the coldness in his eyes gradually turning sharp with each word he spoke, and the cigar, which was not even a third lit, suddenly broke between his fingers.
"Your existence is an obstacle."
...
The organization's headquarters building is heavily guarded, with armed personnel standing guard at the entrance, and it is usually very imposing.
At this moment, the security captain was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, his whole body limp, and dared not move.
Because his forehead was being pressed against the cold, hard muzzle of a gun.
At a distance of one spear length, Xiao Cheng expressionlessly pulled the trigger, lowering the muzzle of the gun.
"Open the door."
The cold, ruthless voice perfectly conveyed the decisiveness that if the door wasn't opened, a shot to the head would be the only option.
The headquarters building is located within a vast estate. The walls surrounding the estate, including the gate, are all equipped with high-voltage electric fences. If you try to break through, you will be electrocuted and killed.
There have been successful cases before.
"Brother Cheng, don't be impulsive. I... I'll ask the boss first. The boss is inside."
The security captain tried to pick up the walkie-talkie that had fallen to the side; next to the walkie-talkie was his sidearm.
Unexpectedly, just as he reached out, Xiao Cheng shattered his sidearm with a single shot, and the smoking muzzle was pressed back against his forehead. The brutal and ruthless force that had exhausted his patience instantly overwhelmed him.
He pulled the trigger again: "I'm letting you open the door."
The security captain was so terrified he wet himself.
"Open the door when I tell you to! Are you dawdling and looking for death?!" Zhang San kicked one of the other security guards who were being restrained. "Did the big boss have someone kidnap a very pretty girl? Speak!"
The security personnel were far more sensible and afraid of death than the security captain. They immediately confessed: "I don't know if the boss sent someone to kidnap the girl. I only saw the informant that the boss planted next to Li Jianfeng just now driving back in a van."
"Shi Yi was driving, and Shi Er was in the passenger seat. The rear windows were completely closed, so you couldn't see anything."
This wasn't the first time the security team members had seen Xiao Cheng. He used to come and report on his work every few days, and they all knew that Xiao Cheng was the big boss's right-hand man.
But I've never seen Xiao Cheng so violent and ruthless before; he didn't even show this side of himself when Xiao Zhongbiao died.
There must be someone very important to Xiao Cheng hiding in Shi Yi and Shi Er's van. They'd better know better than to let him go, or they'll be meeting their maker in the next second.
Xiao Cheng's murderous expression was no joke.
The gun barrel that had already pulled the trigger was no joke.
The security captain didn't hesitate any longer and decisively let them pass.
Xiao Cheng led his men directly to the building's reception room. The manor was silent, like a dark prison.
There were bodyguards standing guard at the entrance. Zhang San, Li Si, and others approached with guns, snatched the weapons from the other party, and engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
Xiao Cheng pushed the door open without any hindrance.
Under the crystal chandelier, the big boss bent slightly and stood in front of the girl who was tied to a chair and unable to move. The dagger in his hand flashed coldly as he lifted the girl's chin.
"Let her go."
The big boss looked up at the sound, and the cold muzzle of a gun was already pointed at his forehead.
He straightened up, and the muzzle of his gun followed suit.
Impartial and unbiased, approaching step by step.
He probably never imagined that someone who had followed him for so many years would point a gun at his head. The big boss was stunned for a moment, and the tip of the knife fell on Bai Lu's carotid artery.
Are you trying to oppose me?
As soon as he finished speaking, eighteen figures dressed in black suddenly emerged from the shadows all around the living room, their guns all pointed at Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Cheng never laid down his weapons in front of the enemy, even when he knew there was no chance of winning and death was inevitable, he never gave anyone the opportunity to hinder him.
However, upon seeing the tip of the knife on Bai Lu's neck move, he immediately lowered his weapon.
"Let her go, I'll stay."
The big boss was very satisfied with Xiao Cheng's sensibility and slowly released the blade that was pressed against Bai Lu's neck.
He turned around and went back to the sofa, sat down comfortably, took out another cigar, and cut a slit in it.
Through the smoke, one can see Xiao Cheng untying Bai Lu.
