Era: Starting with the struggle to refuse being taken advantage of

Chapter 245 Dark Night Murder

Zhou Xia hated Wang Chengpeng to the core, and even though he needed to swallow his pride and ask Li Weiguo for help again, he still went.

As long as he can ensure the assassination goes perfectly, what does it matter if he's a little tired?
Just before sunset, Zhou Xia finally arrived at Bi Jun's side at the last minute before the agreed time.

Zhou Xia placed his briefcase on the table and said in a very bold manner:

"The supplies are all ready. Take a look. As long as you can take down Wang Chengpeng's family as promised, I will add more rewards later."

Bi Jun completely disregarded Zhou Xia's empty promises. Even if he actually succeeded, he would never return to Zhou Xia to collect the remaining reward money.

What's the difference between that and walking right into a trap?
Don't be fooled by Zhou Xia's fawning attitude now. If he really dares to come back, Zhou Xia will definitely be the first to sell him for a reward.

As for his own accusations?
Without evidence, how could Zhou Xia, and the police, possibly admit to something?

This demonstrates Wang Chengpeng's foresight. If he hadn't left behind enough evidence every time he did something, he probably would have been tricked into some unknown place by Liu Yanran and Zhou Xia long ago.

After weighing the briefcase in his hand, Bi Jun was somewhat surprised and said:

"I didn't expect you to be so willing to spend so much money, actually managing to get your hands on the item."

For someone like Bi Jun, who lives on the edge of danger, weight is extremely important.

Often, he only needs to weigh the item in his hand to determine its authenticity.

Opening the briefcase, as expected, besides twenty golden yellow croakers, there was also a rather large wooden box.

Carefully opening it, Bi Jun saw a masterpiece: the classic Type 64 pistol.

Although its range and power are not as great as the Type 54 pistol, its small size makes it easy to conceal and carry, giving it its own unique advantages.

Although it only has a seven-round capacity, it is more than enough for light close-quarters combat.

Judging from the metallic sheen reflected off the pistol, it was not only new but also extremely well-maintained.

Bi Jun glanced at the ten bullets placed next to the pistol, shook his head slightly, and said:
"You really don't intend to give them any chance of survival at all."

"But this is good too. With this powerful weapon, my risks will be much smaller."

After weighing the yellow croaker in his hand and confirming that it was more than enough, Bi Jun nodded in satisfaction and said:

"You didn't try anything funny with me. In that case, I'll close this deal as soon as possible."

"You will receive the good news you want tomorrow, at the latest by noon tomorrow."

“It doesn’t take that long to get things done, but it will definitely take some time for the news to reach Shanghe City.”

Seeing Bi Jun's confidence, Zhou Xia breathed a slight sigh of relief and said:

"If you're confident, this kind of small deal will be a piece of cake for you."

"However, remember to return the items in the wooden box after you're done using them. The return address is at the bottom of the wooden box."

"This is not something you can control; you should know what to do."

Some things may be good, but they are a double-edged sword.

Although he desperately wanted to keep the pistol, Bi Jun ultimately restrained his greed and nodded, saying:
"I will have someone deliver the wooden box to the appropriate place."

"Don't worry, the thing we fear most in this line of work is getting into trouble."

"Alright, now that I've received the commission, it's time for me to take action."

With that, Bi Jun threw the contents of his briefcase into a backpack and left with the backpack on.

The backpack contained the tools he had prepared based on the information provided by Zhou Xia, ensuring his success in this mission.

Wangjiacun.

At this moment, Wang Chengpeng was unaware of the impending crisis. He had only been reborn, not a god, and could only do his best to ensure the security of his family.

Woof woof woof
A well-trained country dog ​​is an excellent guard dog, with an extremely sensitive sense of smell. It quickly detected an unfamiliar scent in the air and sounded the alarm.

Hearing the barking of the country dog, Wang Meiyan frowned and complained, saying:

"When Zhu Hong wasn't around, his dog was also disobedient and kept barking."

"Brother, why didn't you stop him when he left?"

As agreed, Wang Chengpeng naturally informed his family that Zhu Hong needed to leave.

To everyone's surprise, the one who reacted the most was Wang Meiyan, who usually didn't get along with Zhu Hong. She was noticeably listless during dinner.

Wang Chengpeng shook his head slightly and said with a smile:
"Zhu Hong is a living, breathing person. He can go wherever he wants. How could I possibly restrict his personal freedom?"

"Kids should go to bed early and stop thinking about these trivial things all day."

Wang Chengpeng glanced subconsciously at his room and thought to himself that the weapon he had finally managed to acquire might be coming in handy.

A well-trained country dog ​​wouldn't bark randomly for the ridiculous reason that its trainer isn't there; the only possibility is that a stranger is approaching.

Wang Chengpeng's home is located in a remote area, making it extremely unlikely that someone would get lost.

Furthermore, the fact that no one has come to knock on the door so far has made Wang Chengpeng subconsciously alert.

I hope it's just my imagination. I'm a law-abiding citizen, and I can't let myself make a mistake.

Wang Chengpeng glanced at his family, who were chatting and laughing, and smiled as well, saying:

"Everyone, go to bed early tonight. There's always tomorrow to do."

"Especially the younger sister, children who don't get enough sleep will become ugly."

Expressing your worries at this time will only increase everyone's troubles and affect everyone's rest.

Since that's the case, it's better to say nothing for now and let Wang Chengpeng keep watch alone to see how things go.

If someone with malicious intentions appears, he can issue an alarm immediately to ensure everything is in order.

Upon hearing that she would become ugly, even the playful Wang Meiyan turned pale with fright and went to bed early.

As for Wang Tieshan and Liu Chunhua, they were already going to bed early after a busy day, so Wang Chengpeng didn't need to give them any special instructions.

Wang Chengpeng deliberately read for a while longer according to his usual schedule before blowing out the oil lamp.

As he stroked the hunting rifle, its unique texture gave Wang Chengpeng a sense of peace and confidence.

This hunting rifle was the product of trading the wild boar last time. At the time, it might have seemed like a bad deal, but in the long run, Wang Chengpeng made a huge profit.

A hunting rifle and a dog are more than enough to guard the house, if not for hunting in the mountains.

I want to see which blind thief dared to steal from my house.

It seems that despite his extremely low profile, his belongings still attracted the attention of thieves.

Just like when his old bicycle first arrived home, it was targeted by a thief. Although he gave the thief a good whack, he also gave Wang Chengpeng quite a fright.

Wang Chengpeng is, after all, a law-abiding citizen. It's normal that he didn't know there were lawless madmen like Bi Jun.

But it doesn't matter, the result is the same anyway. Bi Jun, who thought he had hidden himself well, never expected that Wang Chengpeng was so vigilant and had already started to stake out him.

The night is very dark tonight, and the moon is obscured by dark clouds, with only a small halo of light visible.

On a dark and windy night, when murders and arson are committed!

He opened his backpack and pulled out a few pieces of meat and sausages from the middle.

He had already learned from Zhou Xia that Wang Chengpeng's family kept three vicious dogs, so he was naturally prepared.

With that in mind, Bi Jun found a suitable spot and tossed the meat over the wall.

His current position is very delicate, just outside the guard's cordon. Except at the very beginning, he did not attract any attention.

Bi Jun certainly wouldn't be so kind as to travel all the way to Wang Chengpeng's house to feed the dog.

The pork, which looked like it was meant to lure dogs, was actually smeared with a sleeping potion. Anyone who ate it would become weak and allow themselves to invade the undefended courtyard.

After waiting another five minutes, estimating that the time was almost up, Bi Jun tentatively took two more steps forward.

"Woooo..."

That was a warning from the loyal guards to the bandits; if they dared to take another step forward, Bi Jun would surely be met with a violent storm.

Bi Jun subconsciously took a step back, his brows furrowing even more.

These vicious dogs seemed to be quite well trained and had no intention of eating the pork they had adulterated.

But it doesn't matter, he has a backup plan, those sausages are even better.

While both are considered sedatives, they are much less noticeable when mixed into sausages than pork, since sausages have a much stronger flavor.

However, these flavored sausages are difficult to prepare, requiring advance marinating, unlike fresh pork which is readily available.
Unless absolutely necessary, Bi Jun would not have used such a deadly weapon.

There was another sound of something heavy hitting the ground, but this time it wasn't pork that was thrown in, but sausage.

After waiting another ten minutes, estimating that the vicious dog should have been subdued, Bi Jun began to probe again.

However, before Bi Jun could take two steps, he heard the familiar whimpering sound again. It was a warning from the dutiful guards who were watching over the house.

Bi Jun's brows furrowed deeply. He hadn't expected that an ordinary family could be so troublesome, with such a well-trained vicious dog that wouldn't even eat food from strangers.

I glanced at my watch; it was only around 10 p.m., not too late.

He decided to wait a little longer, until the people and dogs inside were asleep more soundly.

Thinking this, Wang Chengpeng subconsciously looked at the wooden box in his arms.

The employer didn't give him much time; if it didn't work by one or two o'clock, he would have no choice but to force his way in.

Anyway, this place is in the middle of nowhere, and it's inhabited by a few harmless ordinary people, so what is there for him to be afraid of?

Even if he were to flee to another place, he would be able to live comfortably anywhere with twenty small yellow croakers.

With that in mind, Bi Jun found a relatively secluded corner and started to rest.

Because of the vicious dogs, there will definitely be a big battle later. Even with the help of a pistol, he must conserve his energy.

Just as Bi Jun began to rest, Wang Chengpeng, holding his hunting rifle, focused intently, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

The commotion I just heard in the yard meant that I wasn't being overly cautious; there really was a petty thief watching me.

Big Golden Retrievers are all well-trained guard dogs and it's absolutely impossible for them to make frequent mistakes.

The reason for the frequent alarms is that something real has happened.

If it weren't for the fact that their owners were all asleep, they probably would have already gone berserk.

Thinking this, Wang Chengpeng couldn't help but sigh, "The money I spent on buying the dog was definitely worth it."

The money spent to save Zhu Hong was well worth it; the alarm sounded by the three puppies today was information that no amount of money could buy.

No matter how much money Wang Chengpeng earns, isn't it all for protecting his family?

Thinking this, Wang Chengpeng tightened his grip on the shotgun even more.

I don't know what kind of strength this petty thief has, nor how many people are on the other side. In the end, it's the cold barrel of the gun that gives me a greater sense of security.

The night was long, so long that even Wang Chengpeng felt exhausted.

With the faint light shining in from the window, Wang Chengpeng could vaguely see the time—1:45.

Unbeknownst to him, he had been grappling with the other party for several hours.

Although there had been no movement outside for the past few hours, Wang Chengpeng dared not relax his vigilance in the slightest.

Unless he was 100% certain that the enemy had left, he wouldn't be so careless as to go to sleep so easily.

While large animals like the Big Gold might be able to issue an alert immediately, it takes humans a considerable amount of time to respond.

Exhausted to the point that he might simply fall asleep and die.

In that case, he might as well just stay up all night to ensure his safety tonight.

Once it gets light, Wang Chengpeng will go to Cunlulou immediately to seek help, asking the village militia to patrol his area while they are guarding the sugar factory.

With the protection of Da Jin and the others, their entire family could finally rest easy.

Just as Wang Chengpeng glanced at the time, another pair of gloomy eyes also looked at the time, muttering:
"1:45? That's perfect timing."

"People are sound asleep right now, and even with the warning from those vicious dogs, they might not wake up."

"Of course, as expected, I've already put those dogs down. They were tempted by fresh pork and sausages; basically, no dog could resist."

"They may be able to resist temptation for ten minutes or half an hour, but they cannot resist temptation for several hours."

"Let alone a dog, even a person would be eager to pick up such a big piece of pork and so many sausages if they saw them lying on the road and had a good meal."

Thinking this, Bi Jun took a deep breath and walked towards the Wang family compound again.

He subconsciously touched the gun in his pocket. This time, he had plenty of bullets. Even if his aim was a little off because it was too dark, he was confident that he could slaughter everyone in the room.

All he had to do was set a big fire to destroy the evidence of his crimes, and it would become another major case that would resonate throughout Shanghe City, just like the cases he had committed in the past.

With that in mind, he quickened his pace a bit.

Now that he has decided to take action, he will surely kill anyone who stands in his way!
