He was an Inner Strength Expert, so a drop of over ten meters was nothing more than the height of three floors to him; jumping down was not difficult at all.
“Liu Jie, what are you doing here?” Song Xin did not expect to see Liu Jie here and instinctively shivered as he asked.
“Haha... How do you think I ended up here?” Liu Jie smiled and replied, noticing the injuries on the three so-called Inner Strength Experts.
At this moment, he knew that his side had a definite advantage over Song Xin's side.
At the same time, he was curious about how Lin Feng, a young man who had not even cultivated Internal Energy, could have injured three Inner Strength Experts.
Although their injuries were clearly gunshot wounds, Liu Jie also understood that Inner Strength Experts were generally not afraid of guns. Moreover, among the Inner Strength Experts around Song Xin, except for one who was relatively weak, the others were of moderate strength.
Despite his doubts, Liu Jie was more eager to find out what had happened to Lin Feng and why he was not present at the scene.
From the moment he received the text message, he had rushed over without stopping. "Better to believe it than not," he thought. Even if the message turned out to be false, Liu Jie would only have made a wasted trip. However, if it were true, coming over could not only help Lin Feng but also win over this young man whom he admired. Additionally, he could take the opportunity to deal with the three Inner Strength Experts beside Song Xin.
This was a rare opportunity. The strength of a gang primarily depended on the number of Inner Strength Experts within it. Although those following Song Xin were not the main experts of Song Gang and were only of moderate level, they were still Inner Strength Experts. Liu Jie cherished this chance to eliminate Song Xin's Inner Strength Experts without facing criticism.
The reason he did not fear criticism was simple: Song Xin was in the wrong first. As long as he did not harm Song Xin's life, even if he took out the three Inner Strength Experts beside him, no matter how heartbroken or angry Song Lie might be, he would only have to swallow his anger in silence. Under pressure from the martial arts community, he would even have to express gratitude to Liu Jie for sparing Song Xin.
Such a win-win situation was something Liu Jie could never pass up.
“They're dead.” The three Lao Jianghu beside Song Xin had already realized Liu Jie's intentions. Seeing Liu Jie asking questions, they immediately gestured to Song Xin to say that Lin Feng and the others had escaped. However, at that moment, Song Xin was only worried about whether Liu Jie would kill him on the spot. Under Liu Jie's fierce gaze, his legs trembled and he revealed the truth.
Sigh... The three Lao Jianghu beside him sighed helplessly.
With Song Xin saying this, Liu Jie no longer needed any excuses to deal with them; avenging his brothers was the best and most genuine reason.
Indeed, upon hearing that Lin Feng and Dong Jie were dead, Liu Jie felt a jolt in his heart. He was genuinely surprised but soon his expression shifted from shock to anger. Although he had never truly regarded Lin Feng as a brother in his heart, in front of outsiders, he always presented himself as Lin Feng's older brother—at least that was how he acted in front of people from the martial arts community.
At this moment, although Liu Jie’s anger had an element of performance, he was genuinely furious that Song Xin had driven Lin Feng, someone he had high hopes for and believed could help him in the future, to his death.
It was akin to the anger one feels when a young leopard they raised is suddenly killed; though not overwhelming, it was still significant.
Moreover, Liu Jie had no need to hide the anger in his eyes at this point. If he acted out of rage and ended up killing those three internal energy masters, it would be deemed an accident, and afterward, a few words of “I’m sorry” would likely not lead to any consequences for him.
Liu Jie was just Liu Jie; he always did what was most beneficial for himself.
He had no habit of posturing before taking action. He directly lunged at the three significantly weakened old men.
In a swift move, the weakest among them—the one who had been flattering Song Xin—immediately fell to the ground, his neck twisted at an unnatural angle, clearly dead.
Next, Liu Jie turned his attention to the other two and attacked.
“Liu Jie, if you kill them, Song Gang won’t let you off,” Song Xin threatened Liu Jie, unaware of the complexities in Liu Jie’s mind.
Liu Jie had already considered all of this beforehand and naturally ignored Song Xin at this moment. He turned around and shouted at him, “Shut your filthy mouth if you want to live.”
Well, Song Xin quickly complied and fell silent. His earlier attempt to protect his subordinates was merely a ploy to instill fear in Liu Jie. Now that Liu Jie hinted at sparing him, he obediently kept quiet.
With just a few more moves, Liu Jie dispatched the remaining two old men. They were already much weaker than Liu Jie and had sustained injuries; even if they teamed up, they stood no chance against him and were swiftly eliminated.
After dealing with the three, Liu Jie approached Song Xin. He wasn’t in a hurry to take action; in fact, he hadn’t even considered what to do with Song Xin.
“Jie Shao, you’re magnanimous. It’s my fault; I caused Lin Feng’s death. Please don’t kill me. I promise I won’t dare again,” Song Xin pleaded as he knelt down, realizing that his strongest support had been taken out by Liu Jie.
His pleas sounded so clichéd and insincere; it showed how lacking in character he truly was.
“Jie Shao, it’s recorded,” someone on the helicopter signaled to Liu Jie with an “ok” gesture, indicating that everything was ready.
Knowing that it had already been recorded, Liu Jie walked over and slapped Song Xin twice, saying, "It's good that you know your mistake. Now get out of City B."
Liu Jie didn't really want to do anything to Song Xin. Eliminating three Inner Strength Experts would weaken Song Xin's power a bit, and Liu Jie was certainly willing to do that. However, he had no intention of letting Song Xin die; he was waiting for Song Xin to inherit Song Gang, after which Song Gang would fall apart, allowing him to take advantage of the chaos.
The reason he pressured Song Xin earlier was partly to instill fear in him and partly to get Song Xin to admit that Lin Feng was harmed because of him. This way, he wouldn't have to go through the trouble of gathering evidence; with this video footage, it would be hard for Song Xin to deny it.
Since he wanted to play the good guy, after giving Song Xin two slaps, Liu Jie warmly invited him onto the helicopter. Since he didn't want Song Xin dead, he wouldn't leave him behind; if a wild wolf showed up or something similar, Liu Jie certainly didn't want to let Song Xin go only for him to be taken away by a wolf.
With Song Xin's physique, encountering a wolf would likely only result in him becoming its meal.
As Liu Jie spoke, the helicopter had already landed on Thumb Mountain. Three Inner Strength Experts descended from the aircraft; these should be Qian Gang's Inner Strength Experts. It seemed Liu Jie had chosen these three specifically to deal with Song Gang based on intelligence. However, unexpectedly, Lin Feng had helped Liu Jie significantly before his death by severely injuring the three Inner Strength Experts from Song Gang with random gunfire, allowing Liu Jie to handle them alone.
"Young Master Jie..." Liu Jie's subordinates were not like Song Xin's men; no one would engage in flattery. Instead, they uniformly called out to Liu Jie, waiting for his orders.
"Please bring Young Master Xin onto the helicopter," Liu Jie instructed without turning his head as he looked in the direction where Lin Feng had fallen off the cliff.
"Yes..." The three responded and began rather roughly "inviting" Song Xin onto the helicopter.
As they approached the spot where Lin Feng fell, Liu Jie casually grabbed a handful of dirt and scattered it down the cliff. This time, Liu Jie genuinely felt regret that Lin Feng had left this world at such a young age.
The handful of dirt he threw would likely never reach Lin Feng, who was down below searching for firewood.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Jie boarded the helicopter as well; he still needed to escort Song Xin back to Song Gang's headquarters and explain the "situation" to Song Lie.
From the beginning of the racing incident until now, Song Xin had lost utterly. He could have comfortably returned to Song Gang's headquarters in first class but now had to accept Liu Jie's "escort."
However, poor Song Xin still felt quite lucky. He thought about how he could regain his identity as the young master of Song Gang once back at headquarters and had long since pushed aside thoughts of Lin Feng and his subordinates' deaths. To him, enjoyment was what truly mattered.
"Brother... you dispatched a helicopter; is there something going on?" Liu Jing called Liu Jie on his phone while he was on the plane.
“Xiaojing, Lin Feng is dead. He was forced by Song Xin to jump off a cliff, and I'm afraid there won't be anything left of him,” Liu Jie said to Liu Jing, unaware of the time she had spent with Lin Feng in recent days.
He knew that he had deployed a helicopter. Although Liu Jing had mostly been uninvolved with the intelligence agency's affairs during this time, it was normal for her to know about it, as Liu Jie had never intended to keep this matter from her.
“What?” Liu Jing had initially called just to ask casually, treating it as a general inquiry about gang matters. She never expected to receive such news. For a moment, she was frozen on the other end of the line.
Then, Liu Jing's mobile phone slipped from her hand and fell to the ground. Lin Feng is dead? Lin Feng is dead? Liu Jing felt as if she couldn't breathe.
Her mind was filled with images of Lin Feng. How could such a bully just die like that? Wasn't it said that “good people don't live long, while troublemakers leave behind a legacy for a thousand years”? Liu Jing still couldn't accept this reality.
“Xiaojing, what's wrong with you?” Liu Jie didn't expect such a strong reaction from Liu Jing and anxiously shouted into the phone.
This Nokia is really durable; it fell to the ground and still maintained the call without disconnecting.
At that moment, Liu Jing had lost all desire to continue listening to the call. She ran to her bedroom and stared blankly at the brand-new laptop on her desk, lost in thought while tears streamed down her face.
After a while, Liu Jing approached again, touching the laptop's exterior and murmuring, “I didn't expect you and I would both be waiting for that guy to come back.”
Then, Liu Jing picked up the laptop prepared for Lin Feng and held it close to her chest, crying as she reminisced about the moments they shared together.
