Chapter 585 Execution
In the prison cell, I stood in front of Ye Qian.
Ye Qian looked at me, sighed, and said, "I never expected that I would end up falling into your hands."
I looked at Ye Qian and said, "To be honest, I didn't expect it to turn out this way. I originally thought that Zhou Liang would kill you after he took control of Central Town."
Ye Qian chuckled and said, "He originally wanted to kill me, but he didn't have the chance. You and that Xu Le came and forced him to leave. He didn't even have a chance to kill me. But now you're coming to kill me. What a twist of fate. I should have killed you back then. That way, there wouldn't have been so many unexpected events."
I said, "Don't forget that I saved your life back then."
Ye Qian chuckled and said, "Actually, after you threatened Zhang Jianzhou, Zhang Jianzhou told me about you, but I didn't pay attention. Moreover, I sent people to Jiajiang to investigate and found out that you were kicked out by Su Mu from Jiajiang. I thought my recruitment would make you have some goodwill towards Central Town, but I didn't expect it to be like this."
My heart skipped a beat when I heard that.
I never imagined that Zhang Jianzhou would tell Ye Qian about me. Should I be glad I wasn't killed?
However, after thinking about it carefully, I chuckled and said, "Actually, even if you had killed me back then, it probably wouldn't have changed the outcome. Zhou Liang would still have come to seize Central Town, and Xu Le would still have come to eliminate Zhou Liang..."
"But I won't die!" Before I could finish speaking, Ye Qian said, "I won't blindly stand on Zhou Liang's side then. I will choose a more powerful ally, or join forces with Xu Sanshui to defect. In the end, all of this is because of you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this situation now."
I said, "There's something I forgot to tell you. Xu Sanshui never intended to cooperate with you in the first place."
Ye Qian was taken aback.
I said, "Xu Sanshui's daughter and I are classmates, so he can be considered my elder. Back when Zhou Liang was dealing with Wu Zhaolong's men, Xu Sanshui and I discussed whether we should just kill you. But Zhou Liang's actions after he returned ruined our plan. So at that time, I could only take Xu Sanshui's daughter with me and escape first, and get my men out of the resort."
"As for what happened later, you know that I met Xu Le in Jiajiang who wanted to subdue Jiajiang, so I brought him back. To be honest, if Xu Le hadn't appeared in Jiajiang at that time, I probably wouldn't have had the chance to see Zhou Liang die."
Ye Qian stared at me, his eyes filled with resentment. "So, what do you want to achieve by coming here and telling me all this? Are you trying to show off? Show off your intelligence? Show off your luck?"
I said, "I'm not trying to brag about anything. I just feel that all of this happened too fast. When I first learned about the Raiders, I was really scared. I was afraid that my people would be killed by the Raiders. We did encounter some Raiders at the time, but fortunately there weren't many of them, and we managed to deal with them all."
Ye Qian said, "You're so smug now. When we established the central town, we never thought about running any raiders. These were all things that the dam made us do. Now that you've become the head of this central town, don't think your life will be easy from now on. The dam will definitely send people back to keep an eye on you and make you do all sorts of things you don't want to do. Then you'll understand what it means to be powerless."
"In a year or two, you'll definitely end up like me, locked up in a cell waiting to die."
I said, "I know, but I won't let these things happen."
Ye Qian sneered, "You're too optimistic. You don't know anything about the situation on the other side of the dam, yet you're making such a fuss. Who do you think you are? Even Zhou Liang died at Xu Le's hands. In Xu Le's eyes, you're nothing more than a pawn."
My face was calm, and my heart was completely undisturbed.
"Whether I'm his pawn or he doesn't treat me like a human being, none of this really matters to me. I know how the central town should develop in the future, and I don't need you to teach me. I came to see you for no other reason than to say goodbye."
Is this interesting?
I shook my head and said, "I know it doesn't mean anything, but I just wanted to say it. In this world, dying is easier than living. I hope you're doing well down there."
Ye Qian said, "Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go."
I said, "I don't know if ghosts really exist in this world, but I can tell you very clearly that you can't turn into a zombie."
"goodbye."
After leaving those words, I left the cell.
The killing of Ye Qian and his brother was scheduled for noon.
Time was up quickly.
In order not to affect the mood of other people in Central Town, we did not execute the two of them in Central Town, because doing so would make the people in Central Town feel resistant towards us.
So we took the two of them to a place a bit far from the town center. When we arrived here, all my people were there, including Xu Sanshui and Yao Chengjie.
Yao Chengjie approached Ye Qian from behind with a pistol. Ye Qian's hands were tied behind his back, and he was lying on the ground with his eyes fixed on the ground.
Yao Chengjie did not fire immediately, but asked, "Before you die, is there anything you want to say?"
Ye Qian sighed, looked at the azure sky, and said, "I'm truly unwilling to accept defeat at your hands. I curse you all, I curse every single one of you to suffer a terrible fate..."
Bang!
Before Ye Qian could utter the last word, Yao Chengjie fired a shot. The bullet pierced Ye Qian's head, and Ye Qian collapsed to the ground, the concrete floor covered in blood.
The little girl stood next to me, not covering her eyes, and kept staring at the scene.
The little girl wasn't a child anymore; she'd seen this kind of scene many times, so there was no need for her to hide anything. Besides, the next person to be killed was someone the little girl herself would do.
The little girl, holding a gun, came up behind Ye Cheng. When Ye Cheng saw her, he glared at me fiercely. "Lu Xiaonan, if you don't dare to kill me, you don't need to send a little girl to kill me."
I said calmly, "This little girl is much more capable than you. Besides, you killed her father back then, so she's killing you to get revenge. There's nothing wrong with that."
Ye Cheng's lips twitched, and he wanted to curse, but the gunshot rang out instantly.
Ye Cheng was killed by the little girl before he could utter a single curse.
