Start with the Soul Forge

Chapter 56: Dark Moon, Murder Night, High Wind, Arson Day
Not long after, Mo Hao returned to the outside of the Tielian Gang's warehouse alone.

At this time, the phone rang and he answered it directly. "Zheng Qiang, uncle and aunt have been rescued, but it may take a while to send them home."

If the goal was simply to rescue Zheng Qiang's parents, Mo Hao would have already done it.

But he also knew that if the Tielian Gang could kidnap someone once, they could always do it again.

If you want to solve the problem completely, then you must take this opportunity to do some hard work.

"Then squad leader, what should we do with the two people here?"

Zheng Qiang was still in Zeng Weijun's house. Looking at the tied couple, he couldn't help but ask Mo Hao what to do next.

"I killed the water ghost, so if you want, you can send them to reunite with the water ghost. If you can't do that, then disguise yourself and leave quietly. By the way, you should not have been seen by them, right?"

If Zheng Qiang's appearance was seen by Zeng Weijun and his wife, there would be a lot of trouble afterwards.

Mo Hao doesn't like being troubled again afterwards.

"No, no. I heard from you, squad leader, that I wore a mask, a shower cap, and gloves, so I didn't leave any hair or fingerprints, and they didn't see my face."

"Then use Zeng Weijun's phone to set an alarm for an hour, then sneak away, leaving the door open for them. Someone will see us then."

It was obvious that Zheng Qiang had no intention of taking action. Mo Hao had noticed before that Zheng Qiang himself was a bit timid and afraid of things, and he probably wouldn't be able to take action against a pregnant woman.

Mo Hao had no intention of commenting on this. It was not his responsibility to change other people's personalities.

Zheng Qiang begged Mo Hao to rescue his parents, and Mo Hao had no reason to force him to kill anyone. Zeng Weijun and his wife were merely props used to threaten the water ghost.

Since the water ghost is dead and the props are no longer useful, there is no need to do anything unnecessary.

"Be careful when you come out. Don't get followed. Go straight back to the hotel booked by the school. I will bring your parents back tomorrow. Don't call me again tonight."

After saying that, he turned off his phone and put it away. What he was going to do next required his full concentration, and he didn't want to be disturbed by a sudden phone call.

Mo Hao looked in the direction of the teahouse in Xiumu Town, with a ferocious arc at the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile that could be described as ferocious.

"Let's have some fun!"

……

A raging fire soon broke out at the end of Mutou 5th Road. The entire building was engulfed in flames. The fire was so fierce and with the evening breeze, it even had a tendency to spread to the side.

The fire undoubtedly alarmed many people in Xiumu Town, but most people did not take any action and just watched the whole building burn silently.

There is no official government or so-called laws in Xiumu Town. It only has some consensus recognized by the people here.

And here there is a consensus that many people agree with: mind your own business and don't worry about others.

The building at the end of Mutou 5th Road belongs to the Tielian Gang, and the fire was so big and burned so fast that it was obvious that it was arson.

Someone is looking for trouble with the Tielian Gang.

In a lawless area like Xiumu Town, you can't expect other gangs to be kind enough to come to your rescue. Standing by and watching is already the best outcome for the Tielian Gang.

As the fire burned more and more fiercely, people came from different directions in Xiumu Town, about thirty people in total.

They were all members of the Tielian Gang. Some of them got a fire truck, and some connected the fire hydrant to the water pipe and started to put out the fire. But it was too late. Such a big fire was beyond the ability of these non-professionals to handle.

Even if professional firefighters came, there would be no particularly good solution.

Tie Yixiong's face was ashen at this time. The burned house was the warehouse of the Tielian Gang, which contained a large number of smuggled items of the Tielian Gang.

A large part of the Tielian Gang’s income comes from this smuggling business.

What's even more troublesome is that the goods inside are not entirely owned by the Tielian Gang, but are invested in by others. Every once in a while, the Tielian Gang needs to hand over most of the profits from the smuggling business to them in order to bribe their superiors and subordinates.

Without this batch of goods, the first person those guys who collected money would not let go was Tie Yixiong.

At this moment, a gust of hot wind suddenly blew past, causing those people holding fire hoses to squint their eyes.

The hot wind carrying smoke made it impossible for them to open their eyes. At the same moment, more than a dozen sharpened wooden sticks suddenly flew out from the side.

Caught off guard, half of the Tielian Gang were pierced by wooden sticks, resulting in heavy casualties.

A figure slowly walked out of the darkness, stood not far from Tie Yixiong, and greeted him, "Tie Yixiong, Mr. Tie, I have heard of your name for a long time."

Tie Yixiong stared at the boy in front of him. He recognized the high school uniform the boy was wearing. It was the uniform of the Third New High School.

But he could also see clearly that just when his eyes were blinded by the smoke brought by the hot wind, the wooden sticks that suddenly shot out were all aimed at his vital points.

"You set the fire."

It was not a question, but a word of affirmation. The water ghost was probably in great danger. As for Zheng Qiang's parents who were captured, they were now somewhere else.

Without responding to the other party, Mo Hao said to himself, "Is this really a good idea? When the boss watched the younger brother die without saving him, it would have been very easy for you to block those sticks if you wanted to."

If Tie Yixiong had taken action to block those wooden sticks just now, Mo Hao would have taken the opportunity to attack him and seriously injure Tie Yixiong.

It’s a pity that I don’t know if Tie Yixiong guessed Mo Hao’s thoughts, but he actually allowed more than half of his subordinates to be killed or injured, and he had no intention of taking any action.

Not only did Mo Hao lose the opportunity to attack the opponent, but he also exposed his position.

Tie Yixiong and Mo Hao were the same, completely ignoring each other's words, "You are wearing the uniform of the Third New High School, which means you are the rescuer invited by Zheng Qiang. Zheng Qiang doesn't have many things that he can ask others for help, and the Golden Bell Cover is on you."

"You are very angry now. You sent people to capture Zheng Qiang's parents, but you didn't get what you wanted. Most of your men died. Well, it looks like your Tielian Gang needs to recruit new people."

"You arrived not long ago. It's not possible to take two people to the city and back in such a short time, so Zheng Qiang's parents are still in the town."

"There are a lot of things in the house. I guess they are very expensive. If they are burned, your losses will be huge."

Mo Hao and Tie Yixiong stared at each other, like wild beasts looking for each other's weaknesses, trying to use words as claws and fangs to tear open each other's defenses and attack each other's weaknesses.

The more they talked, the stronger the murderous intent in their eyes became.

In the end, both of them stopped talking and chose to resolve the dispute in a more direct way.
