Chen Jiaping was shocked, realizing he had met a tough opponent. Enraged, he pulled a pistol from his waist and pointed it at Gan Mingxuan, the leader.
He yelled, "Are you all out of your minds? I'll grant your wish!"
He wasn't afraid of killing anyone. If someone was killed, he could just throw out a scapegoat and have them spend some time in the police station. It wasn't like he hadn't done it before. At this moment, his henchmen also drew their guns and pointed them at the other party.
However, the team members on the side had already put their hands on their waists at the beginning of the conflict. They were extremely vigilant and dared not be negligent in the slightest. Just as Chen Jiaping drew his gun, the three team members drew their guns at the same time and pulled Gan Mingxuan behind them.
For a moment, several pistols were pointed at each other, and the standoff was unsuccessful.
The conflict happened extremely quickly, and the onlookers didn't even have time to react. At first, they thought it was just a show and assumed that these strangers were going to suffer a great loss. However, the situation changed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, they saw both sides drawing their guns at each other. They were so frightened that they screamed and scattered in all directions. In an instant, the hall was in chaos and was quickly emptied of people.
Even the theater owner, who was about to step forward to mediate the fight, was so frightened by the scene that he quickly withdrew his head and hid far away.
Gan Mingxuan was also startled. He was caught off guard when the other party pointed a gun at his head. He was at a loss for what to do and was stunned. He was so frightened by the life-or-death situation that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Hidden behind his teammates, he took a while to recover his senses and then angrily cursed, "Are you fucking crazy? How dare you point a gun at my head? Do you know who I am?"
Chen Jiaping was filled with regret at this moment. These people were not good people either. Not only were they skilled, but they were also carrying guns.
Without a word, they drew their guns and faced each other without any scruples. Damn, they were a bunch of outcasts.
Chen Jiaping was no ordinary playboy; he had experience in the underworld. He quickly calmed down. He was now under the guns of the other side, but the young man leading them was behind his bodyguards and not in mortal danger. If the other side started acting recklessly, he would be dead once the gun went off.
As the saying goes, a wise man doesn't suffer a loss in front of him. If he can keep them calm for now, they might still be able to escape from Shanghai. Sooner or later, he'll take the lives of these bastards.
"Brother, everyone, don't be impulsive. One flick of the finger and it could result in mutual destruction. Give me your name: my father is Chen Ting of the Green Gang, and I..."
But before Chen Jiaping could finish speaking, Gan Mingxuan pointed at him and cursed, "Your father is nothing! If I lose even a single hair, your whole family will be buried with me! Old Sun, get to work!"
Gan Mingxuan's arrogance was beyond everyone's expectations. Gan Mingxuan was unaware of this, but Sun Xin and others had been lurking in the French Concession for more than half a year and naturally knew the name of Chen Ting, a senior member of the Green Gang. He was one of the top leaders in the Green Gang, and they never expected that they would actually clash with his son today.
At this point, he dared not listen to Gan Mingxuan and fire the gun. If he killed Chen Ting's son, it would likely cause a huge storm in Shanghai, which would be detrimental to the Shanghai station and would create a deep grudge with the Green Gang, making them irreconcilable enemies.
The Green Gang is powerful and has many informants throughout the French Concession. If they are forced to search everywhere, the Shanghai Station will likely find it difficult to move an inch in the future.
"Young Master Chen, you'd better be sensible. There are four guns pointed at your head. If we make a move, we'll all be dead, but you, Young Master Chen, will definitely die. Put down your guns now, and I promise to spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame us. Even if your father is incredibly capable, he won't be able to save you!" Sun Xin pointed his gun at Chen Jiaping and slowly moved closer.
Upon hearing the other party's words, Chen Jiaping knew that if he opened fire today, he would hardly survive. After thinking it over again and again, he decided not to suffer any immediate losses and to be ruthless. He flipped the short gun in his hand upwards, with the muzzle pointing upwards, and raised it over his shoulder.
This gesture signified surrender, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing this, the bodyguards beside them followed Chen Jiaping's example and stopped confronting Sun Xin and the others.
Sun Xin and the others stepped forward, disarmed them, and kicked them aside. Only then did Gan Mingxuan completely relax. He took a step forward, stood in front of Chen Jiaping, and punched Chen Jiaping in the face, causing Chen Jiaping to stagger and almost fall over.
Gan Mingxuan, still furious, snatched the captured pistol, pressed it against Chen Jiaping's head, and cursed fiercely, "Weren't you so arrogant? Why are you so soft now? I don't believe your head is harder than a Japanese soldier's! Believe me or not, I'll shoot you right now!"
