Sheng Xiping stood still, his right hand quietly touching his lower back, and calmly glanced behind the tall, thin man and the others.
Wang Jianshe, Gao Haining, and others had already arrived at the entrance of the alley and were gesturing towards Sheng Xiping.
Sheng Xiping felt much more at ease, a mocking smile creeping onto his lips as he deliberately provoked the other party.
"Hey, I brought even more money with me today, do you want some?"
Upon hearing this question, the tall, thin man immediately recalled what happened last year.
He was tricked by this brat in front of him, thinking he was really going to give him money. He was careless and got stabbed in the back by the kid.
"Damn it, you think I'd fall for your tricks?"
"Damn it, I brought some backup today, and we have knives too. If I don't kill you today, I'll change my surname to yours!"
"No way, if you take my surname, I can't give birth to a son as big as you." Sheng Xiping shook his head with a smile, deliberately provoking the other party.
"Damn it, you're taking advantage of me! I'm going to kill you today!" the tall, thin guy yelled, getting angry.
"Brothers, let's go, take care of this guy, and we'll split the money on him."
Enraged by Sheng Xiping, the tall, thin man lost all sense of place and charged forward with his knife.
When the short, fat man saw his older brother make a move, he also drew his weapon and slashed at Sheng Xiping with his knife.
Sheng Xiping dodged the two knives that came at him from both the front and back at the same time, then kicked the short, fat man away.
Then he drew the knife from his waist and stabbed the tall, thin man.
The tall, thin man couldn't dodge in time and was slashed on the arm by Sheng Xiping's knife.
The tall, thin man was carrying a knife for chopping watermelons; it looked intimidating, but it wasn't actually sharpened. The knife Sheng Xiping was holding, on the other hand, was for hunting wild animals in the mountains; it was incredibly sharp.
The cut was quite deep on the tall, thin man's arm, and he was in so much pain that he swore.
"Damn, that kid's ruthless. What are you waiting for? Go get him and kill him!" the skinny guy yelled, getting desperate.
Just then, Liu Yujiang, Wang Jianshe, and others rushed in from both ends of the alley.
"Don't move, anyone who moves today will be killed."
Chen Weiguo and Sheng Xi'an held Type 56 and Type 16 pistols, respectively, with the bolts pulled back, the dark muzzles pointing directly at the tall, thin group of men.
Wang Jianshe and the others were also holding knives, while Liu Yujiang and Liu Yuhe pulled out their prized pistols.
Eight or nine people came from both sides of the alley and blocked the tall, thin man and his group of six or seven people in the middle.
The tall, thin man clutched his arm, his face pale, whether from excessive bleeding or sheer fright was unclear.
The short, fat man was in considerable pain after being kicked in the stomach by Sheng Xiping. He was bent over, clutching his stomach, when he saw this, and his legs trembled with fear.
Holy crap, what the hell did we run into? Not only do they have knives, they have guns too? They look more like highway robbers than we do.
That's it, I've really messed up this time, I've met my match.
"Brother, we are so sorry, we were so sorry. We were blind and did not recognize your greatness. We offended you."
The short, fat man was quite clever. Seeing the situation, he knew things were going badly, so he immediately backed down and bowed to Sheng Xiping.
"Brother, as long as you can let us brothers off the hook today, I'll do whatever you say."
From now on, whenever our elder brother comes to the county, we will treat him as an honored guest.
In life, those who understand the times are wise. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head; otherwise, you're just courting death.
The tall, thin man finally realized what was happening, and despite the pain in his arm, he raised his hand and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Sheng Xiping.
"I'm really sorry, I didn't know you were also involved in the underworld. I've offended you greatly. Please be lenient and forgive us this time."
Sheng Xiping smiled and walked up to the tall, thin man. "Hey? How did things change?"
Didn't you just say you were going to chop me up and tear me to pieces? How come you've suddenly backed down?
Oh, you saw the gun, huh? You saw there were a lot of us, huh? Let me tell you, I don't belong to any gang, I'm just a hunter who goes out into the mountains.
When you bullied us and robbed us, did you ever think that we could unite?
As Sheng Xiping spoke, he kicked the tall, thin man away.
The tall, thin man slammed into the wall with a muffled groan, struggling to get up, only to find his whole body aching.
"When you robbed people on the road, did you ever think this day would come? When you robbed others, they gave in and begged for mercy, didn't they? Did you let them go?"
Sheng Xiping, holding the short knife in his hand, patted the short, fat man's face and asked him a question.
"No, no," the short, fat man stammered, his voice trembling and his legs shaking.
Anyone would be scared if a gun was pointed at them; it's a miracle they didn't wet their pants.
"Oh, so you haven't let others off the hook either. Then what makes you think I'll let you off the hook?"
Sheng Xiping snorted coldly, raised his foot, and kicked the short, fat man to the ground.
"Jianshe, Haining, get to it! Tie them all up! Anyone who dares to run, we'll break their legs today!"
Sheng Xiping waved and called Wang Jianshe and the others over to work.
Wang Jianshe, Gao Haining, and the others had been eagerly waiting for this opportunity. They stepped forward and began punching and kicking the group of people.
Then they pulled out their belts, pressed them all to the ground, and tied them up.
"Xiping, what should we do now?" Liu Yujiang looked at the group of people, not understanding what Sheng Xiping was up to.
"Brother, even if we beat these people half to death today, as long as they recover, this county will still not be peaceful in the future."
"I've made up my mind. We need to get them in." Sheng Xiping glanced at the group and whispered to Liu Yujiang.
"Huh?" Liu Yujiang was somewhat surprised.
They didn't say that at home; they just wanted to teach these bastards a lesson and vent their anger.
How did this come to the point where we're going to send them in? If this gets involved with the authorities, won't things get complicated?
You see, people these days have a deep-rooted idea that they don't like dealing with people from government offices.
If there's something you can handle yourself, you just do it. Most disputes in the community don't involve officials.
Unless it's a major case involving death, the chances of it alarming the police are very slim.
Even though Liu Yujiang was the brigade secretary, he wasn't very aware of this.
In his mind, it was enough to teach them a lesson and vent his anger; if they called the police, they might get into a lot of trouble.
"Will this work? We're armed with knives and guns. If the police see us, things might get complicated."
Although guns are not banned these days, they just openly carry guns and walk right up to the police. How can the police ignore them?
Sheng Xiping thought about it and agreed. "How about this, you and Xi'an take your gear and go first, and the rest of us will stay behind."
If we don't do it today, then so be it; if we do it, we'll avoid future troubles. Otherwise, it'll be a problem forever.
Sheng Xiping gritted his teeth; no matter what, he had to get these people in.
