Chapter 16

Su Xin's words instantly left everyone present speechless, even Huang Bingcheng, who had vaguely guessed Su Xin's intentions, was no exception.

Who is Dai Chong, the head of the Green Bamboo Gang? He is a powerful figure with thousands of followers, and his experience in the underworld probably exceeds Su Xin's age.

Moreover, Dai Chong's status was not achieved through connections; he earned it through countless battles. To them, the idea of killing Dai Chong seemed as absurd as a fairy tale.

"No! You can't go!" Ji Gang suddenly shouted, his face pale.

He wasn't concerned about Su Xin's safety; to him, Su Xin's life or death was of no concern. However, Su Xin's actions would bring great trouble to the Falcon Gang!

Regardless of whether Su Xin succeeds in assassinating Dai Chong, the Green Bamboo Gang would see it as a provocation from the Falcon Gang.

This would inevitably lead to a full-scale war between the two gangs, and the Falcon Gang is not prepared for such a conflict.

"What, Ji brother, do you have objections?" Su Xin asked with a half-smile.

"Su Xin! What you're doing is putting your own brothers in an impossible situation! The consequences of your assassination attempt, whether successful or not, are far beyond what you can bear! In the end, we will all be buried with you!"

Ji Gang couldn't care less about the consequences now. If he didn't stop Su Xin, he would face punishment from the Falcon Gang's leadership. If he successfully prevented Su Xin's reckless plan, he would be seen as a wise and considerate person, and would likely receive rewards.

"Very well!"

Su Xin clapped his hands and said loudly, "Originally, I, Su Xin, was willing to risk my life to avenge my fallen brothers, but as Ji brother said, I cannot involve everyone else. Since that's the case, I will leave this decision to all of you. If everyone agrees with this plan, I, Su Xin, will risk my life to bring back the heads of Dai Chong and Zhang Hong!"

The gang members below were at a loss, and Ji Gang was taken aback. He immediately realized that Su Xin was using a retreat strategy to advance.

In front of everyone, Su Xin appeared determined to avenge his brothers, earning him a lot of respect. However, when Ji Gang stepped forward to stop him and explained the risks, Su Xin took the opportunity to pass the decision to the group.

Considering their own safety, the gang members would definitely not agree to Su Xin's plan to assassinate Dai Chong. This way, Su Xin not only salvaged his position in the hearts of the gang members but also strengthened his authority.

Ji Gang had to lower his head in frustration. This time, he had been used by Su Xin.

Meanwhile, Huang Bingcheng couldn't help but applaud Su Xin's brilliant move. This response was truly remarkable!

However, at this moment, a few men who had been drinking with the deceased gang member stepped forward, their faces filled with grief and anger.

One of them, a tall man with red eyes, said, "Boss, Chen San cannot die in vain! His two older brothers were veterans of the Falcon Gang and died in battles against the Green Bamboo Gang. Now, only his blind mother is left at home. We've been living well under your leadership. Yesterday, Chen San was still talking about saving up for a few more months to marry a wife and take care of his mother. Who would have thought that he would be gone so soon!

If we hadn't dragged Chen San to drink that night, things wouldn't have turned out this way. We don't want to involve our brothers, so we will leave the Falcon Gang and go kill Dai Chong and Zhang Hong, those bastards!"

They tore off the Falcon Gang emblem from their chests, their eyes red with anger.

They were brothers who had grown up together. They had just joined the Falcon Gang, and their blood was still hot. If they didn't do something now, they would never be able to live with themselves!

Seeing the determination of these brothers, the other gang members' eyes also turned red. They tore off their gang emblems and were ready to fight the Green Bamboo Gang to the death.

These young members of the gang, unlike Huang Bingcheng, didn't think about the consequences. Once they were riled up, they would even dare to fight the government.

The Falcon Gang both liked and disliked using such young members. They were brave and willing to fight, making them the most powerful force in territorial disputes. However, they were also too impulsive and sometimes uncontrollable, causing headaches for the leadership.

Ji Gang smiled coldly.

You messed up, didn't you? You thought it would be easy to stir up the crowd? Now you're in a bind, and I want to see how you'll get out of this!

However, to Ji Gang's surprise, Su Xin's face remained calm.

"Brothers, calm down!" Su Xin shouted.

The commotion below gradually subsided. Su Xin said solemnly, "There's no need for you to seek revenge on Dai Chong. If I don't avenge my fallen brother, I, Su Xin, would be worse than a waste of space. I said it before, and I will personally bring back the heads of Dai Chong and Zhang Hong!"

Ji Gang was taken aback. What did Su Xin mean? Was he really going to do it?

Su Xin's words excited the gang members. They had indeed chosen the right leader!

The brothers of Chen San quickly said, "Boss, take us with you. If we can't avenge our brother with our own hands, we will never be able to live with ourselves!"

"I'm in too," a cold voice said.

Seeing Li Hua step out from the crowd, Su Xin was surprised.

"This sounds like fun. I want to join in."

The gang members glared at Li Hua.

Now they were discussing avenging their brother, and he saw it as a fun thing?

Su Xin looked at Li Hua and saw the fighting spirit and excitement in his eyes. For Li Hua, this was indeed just a fun thing.

Ji Gang shouted angrily, "Li Hua, are you crazy? Do you know what he's doing? Not only are you not stopping him, but you're also joining in his foolishness. Have you forgotten what Third Master said?"

Li Hua stretched lazily and said coldly, "The old man is too old and has lost his edge. He just tolerates everything. My sword hasn't tasted blood for a long time and is about to rust."

"Madman! You're a madman!"

Ji Gang couldn't understand Li Hua's thinking.

Not only was he joining Su Xin's foolishness, but he also called Third Master "old man" in public. Did he not want to stay in the Falcon Gang?

Li Hua ignored Ji Gang and turned to Su Xin, "What do you think? Can I go?"

Su Xin said, "Of course, but you have to listen to me."

"I can listen to you, but only if you don't give stupid orders."

Su Xin shook his head, not minding Li Hua's tone. That's just how he is.

"Boss, what about us? Can we go too?" the tall man pleaded.

Su Xin pondered for a moment and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Li Qing," the tall man quickly replied.

"You can go, but I can only have you wait and cover at the border between Changle and Yongle districts. If you agree, I'll take you."

Unlike Li Hua, who was already a well-known figure in the Falcon Gang, these few were new members with no real skills, only some street fighting experience.

If they went with him to assassinate Dai Chong, they would likely not return.

Li Qing and his brothers exchanged glances and reluctantly nodded.

Although they couldn't fight alongside their leader, at least they would be doing their part to avenge their brother.

"Old Huang, take a few brothers and disguise yourselves. Infiltrate Yongle district and find out where Dai Chong will be tomorrow. The rest of you stay at the headquarters. No one is to leave, and keep a close eye on Ji brother. Make sure he doesn't send any messages out."

Su Xin looked at Ji Gang with a playful expression, which made Ji Gang's face turn dark.

He had planned to slip away and inform Third Master, but it was clear that Su Xin had anticipated this.

Ji Gang's skills were good, but he was no match for Li Hua.

Moreover, there were over a hundred gang members present. Even if Ji Gang was strong, he couldn't fight his way out.

So, Ji Gang didn't say anything and just glared at Su Xin.

There were only two possible outcomes: either Su Xin would fail and be killed on the spot, angering the Green Bamboo Gang and starting a war, or he would fail and be handed over to the Green Bamboo Gang by the Falcon Gang's leadership as a sacrifice to calm the situation.

Either way, Su Xin would not escape death.

As for whether Su Xin could successfully assassinate Dai Chong, Ji Gang didn't even consider it.

If Dai Chong were so easy to kill, Yongle district would have already belonged to the Falcon Gang.
