Looking at the fallen Yellow Dog, Fatty felt a chill run down his spine. "It turns out this bowl of Rice Porridge is problematic; someone has poisoned it!"
Li Nan instructed Long-Faced Man to drag the dead dog away and said, "I had a feeling there was something wrong with that grain of rice at Brother Three's mouth earlier. I didn't expect the issue to really stem from the Rice Porridge. It seems the other party has truly plotted this out carefully!"
Fatty clicked his tongue and remarked, "Poisoning is too unpredictable. How could they anticipate everything? Something feels off here!"
Li Nan waved his hand and explained, "There’s a faint bitter almond smell in the Rice Porridge, so it must have been some kind of cyanide. This stuff is quite common; anyone with a bit of knowledge can easily concoct cyanide poison using very simple methods! So tracing it back to its source through the poison itself will likely be very difficult."
Bitter Melon nodded in agreement, saying, "Earlier, Long-Faced Man mentioned that his group of brothers kept watch closely, making it hard for outsiders to approach. So how could they have had a chance to strike?"
Li Nan sighed with a bitter smile, "Perhaps the problem lies within our own ranks!"
Fatty was taken aback. "Impossible! We are all brothers who have followed Brother Three through thick and thin; there's no way anyone would harbor ill intentions!"
Li Nan smiled lightly, "Not necessarily!"
Meanwhile, on the first floor, the remaining dozen or so people were gathered in the hall, either sitting or standing, all looking very serious.
Among them, a long-haired individual was half-sitting on the sofa, resting his chin on his hands with a worried expression. One Younger Brother leaned closer to him and whispered, "Wasn't it said that Brother Three was fine? How did this suddenly happen?"
The long-haired man waved his hand dismissively. "Don't talk about this anymore. With Nan Ge here, we don't need to step forward for such matters!"
Upon hearing "Nan Ge," the Younger Brother became indignant. "That Li Nan is just someone who joined the camp a few days ago; how could he possibly earn Brother Three's trust? In my opinion, Li Nan must have used some means. Even if Brother Three is dead, the one taking over shouldn't be him!"
The long-haired man widened his eyes in surprise. "What do you mean?"
The Younger Brother partially covered his face and chuckled slyly. "Fatty is just a fool, and Bitter Melon is merely a dog-headed strategist. From my perspective, the one who should take Brother Three's position is you, Dog Brother!"
The long-haired man, nicknamed "Dog Brother," truly lived up to his name, resembling the recently deceased Yellow Dog.
He tossed his hair back and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense with me here. If you say one more word, I'll tear your mouth off!"
The Younger Brother nodded repeatedly, "I won't say anything! I won't say anything!"
Inside the hall, a dozen men with fierce expressions displayed a variety of emotions, representing the many facets of humanity.
Dog Brother pulled out a cigarette case from his chest pocket, took out a cigarette, and stuck it in his mouth. He then swallowed hard and began to smoke.
The hall quickly filled with smoke from Dog Brother's cigarette, while Lin Hai, standing nearby, frowned inwardly.
Lin Hai looked at Dog Brother sitting on the sofa and said sternly, "Stop smoking. This is Nan Ge's home, not your own place!"
Dog Brother glanced at Lin Hai, shaking the cigarette in his hand but showing no intention of extinguishing it.
Lin Hai repeated himself, "This is Nan Ge's home; don't make it smell bad!"
The Younger Brother behind Dog Brother saw Lin Hai's boldness and shouted, "What are you shouting about? Talking to our Dog Brother like that? Do you want to die?"
Lin Hai remained calm and replied, "Today is Brother Three's day of suffering. I won't argue with you much, but don't ruin Nan Ge's house!"
At that moment, the furious Younger Brother drew a machete from behind him and lunged at Lin Hai. "You think just because you're close to Li Nan, you can act tough in front of me? Weren't you just a coward eating scraps before? Now you're acting all brave!"
Lin Hai's fists clenched in anger, but his expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "Take back your words; I won't hold it against you!"
Seeing Lin Hai's submissive demeanor only fueled the Younger Brother's aggression. He balled his left hand into a fist and began pounding on Lin Hai's head. "So what! You dare challenge me? You really think I'm afraid of you? Li Nan is just a joke, and you, Lin Hai, are nothing but a joke yourself!"
Lin Hai covered the fist of the provocateur with one hand and shouted angrily, "Insulting me is one thing, but insulting Brother Nan is absolutely unforgivable!"
The Younger Brother remained unbothered, "What can you do?"
Lin Hai exerted force with one hand, causing the Younger Brother to wince in pain. He immediately drew a machete with his right hand, intending to strike back.
Seeing that the kid was serious, Lin Hai did not hesitate. He quickly bent down and pulled out an AK-47 from behind, directly aiming it at the man's chest.
"Put the knife away!" Lin Hai shouted, and upon seeing Lin Hai draw his gun, the Younger Brother immediately backed down, saying, "Brother Hai... don’t be like this... I was just joking!"
At that moment, the long-haired Dog Brother sitting on the sofa also stood up, seemingly quite concerned about the dispute.
Seeing his brothers pressing in from behind, the Younger Brother quickly changed his tone, "Lin Hai, don’t act recklessly. We are all brothers who have fought alongside Brother Three. You’re just a newcomer who has been following Li Nan for a few days. What are you so proud of? If you have the guts, go ahead and kill me! Let’s see if Dog Brother will spare you!"
Lin Hai laughed and said, "Don’t think I wouldn’t dare to kill. When I was killing people, you were still wrapped in your mother’s diapers!"
Seeing his brothers rallying behind him, the Younger Brother shouted, "It’s easy for an outsider to talk big! You’ve only been with Li Nan for a few days and already dare to challenge us. If Brother Three really hands over power to Li Nan in the future, what will happen to us old-timers? Brothers, what do you think?"
The dozen or so people behind him whispered among themselves—some agreed, some supported him, while others complained that Brother Three wasn’t treating his brothers well. Various voices rose and fell. Lin Hai sensed that the atmosphere in the room was off and thought to himself, "Damn it, are you guys planning a rebellion? Just because Brother Three left doesn’t mean you can change sides immediately!"
Hearing Lin Hai's words, many people showed doubt. However, long-haired Dog Brother shouted, "No matter what you say, let my brother go first!"
Long-haired Dog Brother had already thrown the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it hard before saying, "It's just a cigarette; I’m not that addicted!"
Seeing Dog Brother back down, Lin Hai naturally felt less confident about threatening the Younger Brother. He immediately relaxed his grip and lowered the AK-47.
The bound Younger Brother laughed loudly after being released from restraint, saying, "At least you know how to be sensible!"
Just as Lin Hai turned around, the Younger Brother did not retract the machete in his hand but instead swung it horizontally, the blade cutting through the air directly towards Lin Hai's shoulder and neck.
The force of this strike was not light; if it hit its target, Lin Hai would likely be incapacitated. However, Lin Hai had a background in law enforcement and was quite alert!
Sensing the wind from the blade behind him, Lin Hai leaned to the side just in time to evade the fatal blow. Nevertheless, the machete still struck his left shoulder, getting lodged in his shoulder blade.
The Younger Brother muttered under his breath, "Just a little punk, daring to act tough in front of Dog Brother. Let's see if I don't kill you!"
With the blade stuck in Lin Hai's bones, it couldn't be pulled out immediately. In an instant, Lin Hai endured the pain and turned around, his eyes filled with fury. "You've completely angered me now!"
Before the Younger Brother could say another word, Lin Hai raised his AK-47 and fired, the bullets piercing through the Younger Brother's abdomen!
Bullets flew and flames erupted, and in an instant, the previously arrogant Younger Brother was left writhing uncontrollably, instantly turned into a sieve!
Seeing this scene, Dog Brother immediately drew his pistol from his waist and shouted at Lin Hai, "If you dare to kill him, don't blame me for being rude!"
Lin Hai remained unfazed. "Are you all going to avenge him? Then I guess I know what kind of people you are. It seems even Brother Three can make mistakes by taking in your bunch of useless Younger Brothers!"
Dog Brother was furious and immediately pulled out his gun, already pulling the trigger at Lin Hai!
The atmosphere in the hall became extremely tense. The remaining men, who had previously been wavering between Dog Brother and Lin Hai, now saw that someone had died and quickly sided with Dog Brother. After all, they preferred to follow Dog Brother rather than an outsider like Lin Hai!
Just as Dog Brother's bullet was fired, another gunshot rang out, followed by a third shot!
The second shot came from upstairs, and in an instant, Dog Brother's momentum diminished because he saw Fatty making his move. There was no doubt about it; if Fatty claimed to be second best with a gun in their camp, no one would dare claim first!
Lin Hai's AK-47 was out of bullets after killing the Younger Brother, and at that moment, there was no one else in the room holding a gun!
Dog Brother's eyes were almost about to drop to the ground. He had never imagined that Fatty's shooting skills could reach such a level.
He saw the bullets fired from Dog Brother's handgun being blocked by the bullets shot by Fatty, and the third sound was the collision of the two bullets!
Dog Brother was extremely shocked, while on the other side, Liu Linhai was also astonished and thought to himself, "This Fatty is really impressive!"
At this moment, Fatty laughed loudly from upstairs, "Nan, how do you like my skills?"
Li Nan gave a thumbs up, "Awesome! Impressive!"
In an instant, Fatty stopped laughing and directly turned his gun towards Dog Brother. Seeing this, Dog Brother immediately threw away his handgun and said, "Fat Brother spare my life, Nan spare my life, it was just a misunderstanding!"
Fatty's laughter erupted again, "Now you remember to call me Fat Brother? Isn't it a bit late?"
Dog Brother raised both hands, "It's A-Zhi who doesn't know better. I got confused too. Look at Brother Three; he hasn't even been buried yet, and we're here fighting. What kind of situation is this?"
Fatty suddenly jumped down from upstairs, lowering the muzzle of his gun. However, his words became sharper, "A-Dog, what you just said is really too late!"
