Seeing that I was no longer arguing while looking at the bronze vessel, Su Jialiang sneered: "This thing can shut you up, which means you are a smart person. But with this little bit of cleverness, you think you can shake up the Su family's decades-old foundation? You're still too green."
I've known for a long time that the Su family, this counterfeit gang, are all ruthless lunatics who live on the edge, and I also know that he is an extremely cautious person.
But I never expected that my methods would seem so naive in front of him.
Without the support of the Qing family, I became completely at their mercy.
Even so, I still loudly argued, "Master Liang, I know you won't believe anything I say now, but my real identity isn't that of a faker, but a tomb raider, and I'm very professional in antique appraisal. If you keep me by your side, whether it's to help you raid tombs or to be an art consultant, I'll be of great value!"
Su Jialiang walked behind his desk and sat down, calmly lighting a cigarette: "I believe you have other skills, but none of that matters anymore! The antique circle is so big, there are plenty of people you can find, and I will never keep anyone who poses a threat to me by my side."
Seeing that his elder brother had made the final decision, Su Jiaming immediately raised his gun: "Brother, what's the point of talking? Just kill them!"
"Kill him, but don't let any blood flow here, otherwise the smell in the house will linger for a long time."
Su Jialiang looked at the people next to Su Jiaming: "When will the new batch of red copper be ready?"
The man glanced at his watch: "It should be about three more hours."
Su Jialiang flicked away his cigarette butt: "In ancient times, Gan Jiang forged his sword with his own body. Today, I, Su Jialiang, will follow the ancients' example and use living people as sacrificial vessels. Throw them into a molten steel pot. That way, it's clean and leaves no trace!"
"Haha, great idea! Did everyone hear your method, brother? Let's dispose of corpses this way from now on!"
Su Jiaming burst into laughter: "Drag them away! I want to see them evaporate in molten copper at a thousand degrees!"
I was dragged out of the room, struggling and shouting, "Su Jialiang, I have something to say! Actually, I am Shenyang..."
"Bang!"
The person next to me didn't give me a chance to speak. They punched me in the stomach, then covered my mouth and dragged me outside.
...
The copper factory was very large. Su Jiaming's men pulled me up the iron frame.
The entire structure was built around a huge molten steel tank, and the temperature inside the room was at least fifty degrees Celsius, so hot that it made your face ache.
I was dragged by these people and quickly made my way to the top floor. By then, the lid of the molten steel tank had been opened, and the boiling copper inside was bubbling and churning like lava.
I thought that only Song Laosan and I had been caught, but when we got up there, I found that there were five other people standing on the platform next to the molten steel tank.
Two of them were none other than Wei Shengnan and Qu Ruilin.
Not only was I startled by their appearance, but Qu Ruilin and Wei Shengnan also had incredulous expressions on their faces. However, our mouths were gagged, and no one could speak.
Looking at the three people beside them, I recognized one of them from Qinghuai's side. As for the other two, I don't know if they are from the Qing family or the Qu and Wei families.
"Clap clap clap!"
Just as I was lost in thought, I suddenly heard a clapping sound behind me, and then Su Jialiang walked up the iron frame: "Well! My Su family has been doing business for so many years without any trouble, but this year is quite lively. Before the first month of the lunar calendar is even over, so many people are already opposing me. It seems that this year is really unlucky."
"Brother, I think this is a stroke of good fortune! The first batch of molten copper in the new year has a living person as a sacrifice, so how can we not have a prosperous business in the future!"
Su Jiaming stared at the churning molten copper, his eyes blazing with the madness of a mental patient: "What are you standing there for? Kick it down!"
"Bang!"
Upon hearing Su Jiaming's words, a person in the distance kicked the person in front of him towards the copper water jug.
Seeing that person's actions, I subconsciously avoided looking at them.
In that instant, the person who fell in disappeared.
The temperature of over a thousand degrees Celsius melted his body instantly, and he didn't even have time to let out a scream.
I know these people are crazy, but this is the first time I've witnessed someone kill someone in front of me.
Seeing a life slip away like that, my body began to tremble uncontrollably, and even my breathing stopped.
These ruthless thugs were about to push the others into the copper water vat, but I don't know where I got the strength, I broke free from the people around me and removed the rag that was covering my mouth.
The person next to me pulled out a knife and was about to stab me: "You little brat, you dare to resist!"
At that moment, I couldn't care about anything else. I gripped the iron frame tightly with my hands, suppressing my trembling body, and hysterically roared, "Su Jialiang! You can't kill me! I'm Duan Jinyan's son!!"
The people around me didn't care about any of that. They grabbed my shoulders and made a move to draw their knives, saying, "Even if you're the son of the Heavenly King, you're not going to live today!"
"etc!"
Upon hearing the name, Su Jialiang suddenly shouted, then frowned and stared at me: "Which Duan Jinyan are you talking about?"
"Fengtian Wangyunzhai, the third-generation successor, Duan Jinyan! I am his biological son. I came to Henan this time to find his whereabouts, and that's why I found you!"
My skin stung from the intense heat: "From beginning to end, I never intended to get involved in your Su family's business. I admit I used Ma the Cripple, but my purpose was simply to get close to you and find out my father's whereabouts from you, nothing more!"
Su Jialiang looked at me with suspicion: "How can you prove that Duan Jinyan is your father? I have never heard that this lone wolf has left behind a wolf cub."
I pulled out the jade pendant hanging around my neck: "This is the token of the Duan family patriarch. Since you know my father, you must know about his past! And this person next to me, as well as the man and woman opposite, they are from the other three families of the Four Gates of Fengtian! We came here to get close to you all because of Duan Jinyan!"
Su Jiaming cursed, "You're talking nonsense! Everyone in the underworld knows that the four major factions of Fengtian have already broken ties!"
I replied, "I'm not lying. We are indeed from the Four Gates, but not from the same lineage! I am from the Song family, while the other two are from the same lineage! I'm looking for someone, while they are trying to silence me!"
"Hehe, I never expected that my little copper factory would attract the famous Four Gates, and all of them at once! It's a pity that no matter how capable Sun Wukong is, he can only be a stable boy in the Heavenly Palace."
Su Jialiang pointed at me and said, "Except for this little wolf cub, kill everyone else without leaving a trace!"
