Rebirth: Super Banking System

Chapter 163: Chapter 144: Double Kill_1

The first battle was successful.

However, through the faint light in his scope, Tang Qing couldn’t see the blood at all, because his entire field of view was shrouded under a light green background, which made it extremely difficult to distinguish colours and objects. It wasn’t frightening, rather it was somewhat like the background colour of a horror movie.

The moment he pulled the trigger just now, his heart was inevitably a little nervous. After all, a life had just been taken away, but it was just a momentary feeling, and he didn’t feel any discomfort or the nauseous sensation described in novels when the main character kills for the first time. Tang Qing didn’t know whether he had become cold-blooded or whether the picture just now was not really scary, or perhaps his mindset had changed after rebirth, causing him to consider the absurd idea that death is not the end of life.

Damn, what am I thinking about!

Tang Qing, who realized his thoughts were straying, gave a light shake of the head and cast aside those boring assumptions.

Now was not the time to be thinking about this. Tang Qing needed to deal with the trouble in front of him first. If the other party became desperate and killed Wei Jun and his company, it would be extremely disgusting. If the people he wanted to save died in front of him, he didn’t know whether he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

However, this momentary delay gave the remaining man an opportunity to catch his breath. Otherwise, given Tang Qing’s speed, he could have instantly killed both.

Riverside vegetable field.

Seeing his companion lying motionless on the ground, the other man who had been ’calm and composed’ suddenly realized that someone was shooting at them with a firearm equipped with a silencer, and his face changed instantly with panic.

His name was Cao Xu, a man from the southern province. After finishing elementary school, he stopped studying and began to mingle on the streets. By chance, he joined a Snakehead organization and worked as an enforcer. Of course, he wasn’t mute, he just didn’t like to talk.

Earlier, their group of five had scouted the steel factory and found not even a beggar. Consequently, they chose it as their hiding place. They planned that, once their three associates lured the police away, they would hold Wei Jun hostage here. Wei Jun and his company had been bound in the steel factory all day. When they attempted to escape while going to the bathroom at night, they were easily caught and intimidated with a few gunshots as they could not run faster than two adults.

Having just come out from the ’safe’ steel factory, he wasn’t prepared at all until he saw his companion fall. Cao Xu then realized how true the ancient wisdom that "caution brings long-term safety" is, but this time, the price was potentially his life.

Cao Xu immediately took a dive to the side, rolling several times until he fell into an irrigation ditch and finally stopped. Feeling relatively safe, he yelled out.

"Who is..."

His first reaction was that they had encountered the police. In his mind, the only people who could possess such equipment in the domestic sphere were the police. Civilians couldn’t possibly have it. But this was not necessarily the case – their Snakehead organization had such devices, but they just didn’t dare to bring them into the country, only daring to use them abroad.

Upon seeing this, Wei Jun and Uncle Wang also quickly lay down on the ground, observing their surroundings. Even though the attacker was likely there to rescue them, who knew whether they were thinking too much.

Tang Qing naturally heard Cao Xu’s voice but had no interest in responding to him. Cao Xu was an experienced villain. If Tang Qing responded, Cao Xu could fire a round of bullets at him, and Tang Qing would have to dodge them. That would be troublesome. Moreover, if perchance Tang Qing ended up getting hit, he would absolutely send the author a blade. Although villains often die because they talk too much, quite often it’s the heroes who die from talking too much.

Thus, a stalemate ensued amongst the three parties.

A cold wind blew slowly past.

The iron factory was eerily silent, to the point of being frightening. But underneath its quiet exterior, the hidden crisis caused everyone to have sweaty palms due to a mix of excitement, fear and anxiety.

Seeing no response, Cao Xu was puzzled. The police should have said something about surrender, so why was there no sound at all?

Could it be that they weren’t the police? But...

All sorts of possibilities flashed through Cao Xu’s mind. If it wasn’t the police, then it could only possibly be help found by Wei Jun. Only these two possibilities existed. Anyone who dares to say that they happened to pass by and decided to give them a bullet would be absolutely killed by him.

However, no matter the case, his operation today was certainly going to fail.

Whether it was the police or help sought by Wei Jun, it would be difficult to capture Wei Jun again in the future. Moreover, if Wei Jun and the others got in touch with Wei Xiong, his father, after knowing that his younger brother was a traitor, he would be doomed upon his return. Having ’lost’ such a huge sum of money, his ruthless boss would no doubt find him.

Having figured out the ’key point’, Cao Xu made a decision in his heart.

Damn it, Wei Jun could not be allowed to live. As for Tang Qing in the distance, he didn’t take him into account at all. The sound of his partner speaking just now wasn’t loud, so it would have been impossible for Tang Qing to hear. Besides, Cao Xu didn’t even know where Tang Qing was, let alone think about silencing him. As long as he survived today, he would be satisfied.

With this in mind, Cao Xu immediately raised his gun, preparing to shoot in the direction of Wei Jun from earlier.

However, as soon as he lifted his arm, Tang Qing’s bullet was sent over.

"Ah..." Cao Xu let out a scream, clutching his arm and breaking out in a cold sweat.

Tang Qing sneered from his position on the roof of the factory.

You want to commit a murder in front of me?

Do you think I don’t exist?

After being shot in the arm, Cao Xu’s pistol also fell to the ground.

"ding..." "ding..." "ding..."
