Zhang Yang was momentarily puzzled and a bit irritated, so he lightly jumped out of the courtyard, wanting to take a walk.
The weather gradually warmed up, and there were more pedestrians on the street. Zhang Yang, confident and inconspicuous, strolled casually along the road. By chance, he suddenly caught sight of a shadow darting like the wind into a narrow alley, moving at an incredible speed. If Zhang Yang hadn't happened to glance to the side, he might have missed it entirely.
Intrigued, Zhang Yang quickly followed.
This alley had a museum on the left with walls nearly 4 meters high, and on the right was an unknown establishment with walls about 3 meters high topped with barbed wire. The alley wasn't a dead end; it had entrances at both ends but was quite long. In the middle, there was an old tree surrounded by a small fenced area, likely to protect it.
Zhang Yang sensed some movement in the tree and was about to observe closely when suddenly a figure shot out from the tree and rushed toward the alley's exit.
Zhang Yang immediately pursued. Although this person was fast, Zhang Yang thought catching up wouldn't be a problem. However, he suddenly changed his mind and decided to follow the shadow from a distance.
Once they reached the main road, a car picked up the shadow and sped away.
Zhang Yang hailed a taxi and continued to follow behind.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at South Suburb.
Zhang Yang's heart skipped a beat; wasn't this the place Luo Huasheng had mentioned? He could already see the villa nestled in the mountains from afar!
At that moment, however, the car had vanished from sight!
Zhang Yang instructed the taxi driver to stop by the roadside and turned off the engine. He needed to think for a moment.
"I say, what exactly do you want? How much longer are you going to stay?" The taxi driver was clearly growing impatient, muttering incessantly.
Zhang Yang threw out a few large bills, saying, "Don't worry, you won't lose out. I'll have more when I go back." The taxi driver pocketed the money and immediately shut his mouth.
"Could it be that Luo Huasheng discovered my whereabouts and has been monitoring me? Did he deliberately lead me here?" Zhang Yang thought to himself. After a while, he said to the taxi driver, "Wait for me here for three hours. If I don't come back, you can leave. If I do return, I will definitely give you more money." With that, he tossed a few more bills to the driver.
The driver happily tucked the money away and pulled out a cigarette to smoke. "Waiting for you all night is fine; I'm too lazy to run around."
Zhang Yang quickly arrived at the villa where Luo Huasheng had been. It was completely dark inside, and the low walls of the villa's courtyard were not high. Zhang Yang leaped over them. "It seems I've developed a habit of climbing over walls to enter courtyards," Zhang Yang chuckled bitterly as he walked up to the villa's front door.
To his surprise, the door was unlocked. Zhang Yang gently pushed it open. Inside was still pitch black.
"Hahaha, you really came!" Suddenly, the lights in the hall turned on, and he heard Luo Huasheng's voice.
Zhang Yang looked and saw Luo Huasheng sitting right there in the hall. However, in the center of the hall, there was a transparent glass partition that divided the space in two, with Zhang Yang on one side and Luo Huasheng on the other.
The glass fit tightly together but still allowed sound to pass through. Zhang Yang observed that there were tiny sound holes set into the glass.
"You went through so much trouble just to lure me here?" Zhang Yang glanced around; there was a sofa nearby, so he sat down as well.
"I really don't understand. At Heavenly Mechanism Group, your future is limitless. Why do you insist on causing trouble for yourself?"
"Limitless future? With someone like you around, how could it be limitless?"
"I'm just like you, punishing evil and rewarding good; I just ask for a little more compensation. What's wrong with that?"
"Just a little? Heh heh. How many people have you secretly arranged for the Black Water organization to kill?"
"I only kill those who deserve it!"
"Am I one of those who deserve to die? First, you sent the Wano Ninja, then the Slanted Eyes, and finally Shen Qingshui came himself."
"You obstructed my efforts to punish evil and eliminate wrongdoing! You cannot be left alive!"
"Hahahahaha." Zhang Yang laughed loudly. He suddenly remembered that years ago, before Xuan Zhenzi killed Zhang Xunqiu, Zhang Xunqiu had also claimed that he only killed those who deserved it and spoke of his intentions to punish evil. Now, Luo Huasheng was making similar claims.
"Since you know I brought you here, why did you still come?" Luo Huasheng patiently waited for Zhang Yang's laughter to subside before asking.
"Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, yet still heading toward the tiger's den!" Zhang Yang replied. "If you agree to turn yourself in, I can let you go."
"Otherwise, you'll just kill me directly and continue to disguise yourself under an alias. The face you've disguised as this time is truly ugly; I wonder if they will still recognize you." Luo Huasheng suddenly laughed. After saying this, he pressed a button on a remote control in his hand, and a large screen on the wall displayed the scene inside a room.
Inside the room, Ding Weiwei, Chu Ruoxi, and Zong Lingxu were each tied to a chair, seemingly unconscious and leaning back. Each of them wore a shiny metal collar around their necks.
"Do you see the collars around their necks? As long as I press this remote control button, their heads will fly into the air!" Luo Huasheng laughed.
Zhang Yang did not respond; instead, he raised his hand and shot a one-yuan coin toward Luo Huasheng. Zhang Yang believed that although there was glass between them, the force behind the coin was enough to penetrate it and hit Luo Huasheng before he could react.
"Clang!"
The coin hit the glass, producing a loud and crisp sound as it bounced and fell to the ground.
"Stop messing around. This glass can withstand armor-piercing bullets. Your skills have improved tremendously; how could I not be prepared? Don't move again. If you do, I'll press the button!" Luo Huasheng shook his head.
"What do you want?" Zhang Yang asked, calming down.
"I was going to give you two choices: one is to cooperate with me, and the other is to take your own life. But then I thought about it; if you agree to cooperate, you might find an opportunity to deal with me later, which is quite unsafe. So, there's only one choice left: take your own life," Luo Huasheng said.
"If I agree to cooperate with you, I won't go back on my word," Zhang Yang said, stalling for time as his mind raced.
"Don't bring that up. I told you, you only have one choice left. There's a Desert Eagle in the small cabinet next to the sofa; don't you like the Desert Eagle? There's one bullet inside—enough for a big head," Luo Huasheng raised his hand to check his watch. "I'll give you one minute. If it passes without a decision, I'll press the bomb detonation button."
"If I take my own life, will you let them go? They know your secret; you'll definitely kill them too," Zhang Yang picked up the Desert Eagle and asked word by word.
"They've been unconscious and have no idea who kidnapped them. If you die, I can guarantee their safety," Luo Huasheng raised the remote control in his hand and stared at Zhang Yang.
"Honestly, I've felt that living has no meaning for a long time," Zhang Yang said with a smile as he raised the Desert Eagle.
