Twisted Dreams-Chapter 57 - 29: The Death of Zhou Qing

Li Yang exhaled smoke from his mouth:

"I want half of your wealth."

Upon hearing this, Master Snake was overjoyed, continuously bowing:

"I am willing, I am willing!

Thank you, God, for your kindness! Thank you, God, for your blessing!"

Li Yang no longer looked at Master Snake, turned around, and walked towards the end of the cross-sea bridge.

Du Yangming stood up, nodded at Suzu, unfolded his wings behind him, and soared into the sky.

Master Snake quickly turned around and knelt in front of Suzu:

"Thank you, Black Witch, thank you, Black Witch!"

She knew that if it weren’t for the Black Witch, the Death God wouldn’t have let her join the Demon Club so easily.

Suzu ignored Master Snake and trotted to catch up with Li Yang, hopping behind him.

The fog thickened, and the two figures, one tall and one short, quickly disappeared on the cross-sea bridge.

Master Snake let out a sigh of relief, collapsing weakly onto the ground.

Reaching out, she felt her body drenched in cold sweat.

Her delicate body trembled for a long time before calming down, erupting in an extremely joyful, crazed laugh.

From now on, her backing would be the Demons of Hell and a god!

...

Early morning, South Sea Lower Bay, Golden Splendor KTV.

In the luxuriously decorated private room, the floor was littered with wine bottles.

Zhou Qing’s face was flushed red as he continued to drink.

A mature beauty in a cheongsam entered, leaning on Zhou Qing’s shoulder:

"Honey, stop drinking, let’s go home."

Zhou Qing slapped the woman in the face, cursing:

"Bitch! Kuroki Mitsusawa dares to boss me around and you fucking dare too!"

The mature beauty covered her face, sobbing.

Zhou Qing, annoyed, shoved the woman away:

"Go, get those twins to cool me off!"

The mature beauty was used to this sort of thing.

She opened the door and soon returned with a pair of charming twins wearing JK stockings.

The twins ignored the mature beauty and flanked Zhou Qing, acting coquettishly.

Zhou Qing threw a wine bottle at the mature beauty:

"Get lost already!"

The mature beauty’s face alternated between pale and flushed as she stepped in high heels to leave.

Suddenly, a massive force hit her, knocking her to the ground.

A tattooed youth entered in panic, nervously addressing Zhou Qing:

"Brother, Old Snake’s men barged in!"

Zhou Qing stood up with a jolt, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the youth:

"What did you say?!"

Why was he so unlucky to get caught by Old Snake while checking accounts at Lower Bay today?

Even worse, with Kuroki Mitsusawa around, he hadn’t brought any bodyguards!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several gunshots rang out; the tattooed youth stared in horror, blood trickling from his mouth as he fell to his death.

"Ah!!!!"

In the private room, women screamed piercingly.

A middle-aged man with long hair and Chen Wei, accompanied by four or five minions, walked in.

Each of them held a shotgun.

The middle-aged man, delighted, aimed his gun at Zhou Qing:

"Hahahaha, what a pleasant surprise! Boss Zhou, long time no see!"

Zhou Qing frowned:

"Pan Long?"

Pan Long, Old Snake’s top enforcer, was also the second-in-command of Old Snake’s underground force.

Zhou Qing calmly downed a glass of wine:

"Pan Long, running into you today, I guess I’m caught.

Name your price, give me a chance."

Pan Long cheerfully pressed the gun against Zhou Qing:

"What chance do you want? Killing you would be a great achievement!"

Zhou Qing sneered:

"Don’t I know you well?

I have ten million here; let’s buy my life."

Pan Long’s eyes widened at the ten million, then asked suspiciously:

"You carry ten million with you?"

Zhou Qing replied:

"I came to check the accounts today, and this KTV happens to have ten million.

Give me a life, and the ten million is yours."

Pan Long hesitated.

At this moment, Chen Wei stepped forward, grinning sinisterly:

"Zhou Qing, do you remember me?"

Zhou Qing frowned:

"You seem unfamiliar; have we met?"

Chen Wei’s face turned grim:

"As expected, a nobody like me is worth less than a dog to you.

Didn’t you kill my girl a month ago?"

Zhou Qing pointed at the mature woman on the ground and said solemnly:

"She’s my girl; do with her as you please.

Also, these twins I keep are from a dance academy and are yours too!"

Chen Wei’s expression shifted as he wasn’t expecting such ruthlessness from these big shots!

Pan Long was swayed.

He wanted that ten million.

Later he could just tell Master Snake he never saw Zhou Qing.

Chen Wei figured out Pan Long’s thoughts; how could he let that happen?

He found out through connections that Zhou Qing would be at Lower Bay today.

Chen Wei couldn’t outright say he was connected to Zhou Qing, as Master Snake always thought he was that dead gambler.

He put in a lot of effort convincing Master Snake to raid Lower Bay tonight.

Chen Wei had to seize this chance to kill Zhou Qing.

The body in Jack Bear’s Video Game City’s sewer would eventually be found.

The bodies of Huang Mao and his lackeys in the rental would also soon be discovered.

Time was running out for him.

Chen Wei sneered:

"Brother Long, don’t be confused, killing Zhou Qing gives you that ten million too.

I’m sure Master Snake would love to see Zhou Qing’s corpse; you’d gain both merit and money."

Pan Long’s eyes lit up as he pulled out the gun, pointing it at Zhou Qing, pulling the trigger without hesitation.

With a gunshot and the screams of women in the room, the once mighty Boss Zhou died unclear of how he met his end in his own place.

Even in death, he didn’t know how he died or how his son died either.

Sometimes fate just loves to mock mere mortals.

After dealing with Zhou Qing, Pan Long looked at Chen Wei with a complex expression:

"Brother, why are you so smart, why not apply to university?"

Chen Wei shrugged, smiling:

"Didn’t get in."

Pan Long pointed the gun at Chen Wei:

"Then take the exam in your next life."

Chen Wei’s face changed dramatically:

"Brother Long, what do you mean?"

Pan Long laughed:

"You’re too smart.

In such a short time, you’ve become Master Snake’s confidant, almost the third-in-command.

Now that Zhou Qing is dead, his place might be handed to a smart guy like you to manage.

You’d sooner or later be above me.

So, sorry brother, you have to die."

Chen Wei laughed, laughed so hard he clutched his stomach, almost laughing himself to tears, leaving everyone stunned.

Once he had laughed enough, he looked at Pan Long with a sympathetic gaze:

"Your plan is not bad, and I’ve never doubted your intelligence, but you have a fatal weakness."

Pan Long was taken aback, looked at his lackeys, then pointed at Chen Wei with a mocking smile:

"Haha, this idiot is still acting out before he dies, saying I have a weakness."

Chen Wei turned serious:

"You love money too much, you treat money like your parents.

Brother Long, you’re a miserly iron rooster, leaving your minions struggling."

As soon as he said so, Pan Long’s lackeys suddenly pinned him down.

Pan Long’s face turned ashen:

"What are you doing?!"

These lackeys had received a hefty sum from Chen Wei, a few million.

For the big picture, Chen Wei spared no expense, using the money looted from Jack Bear’s casino to win hearts.

Chen Wei drew his gun, aiming at Pan Long’s head:

"Brother Long, you’re just trash to me."

Pan Long exclaimed in fear:

"Brother Wei, listen to me."

The next second, Chen Wei pulled the trigger without hesitation.

PS: I have to stay in the hospital for two days tomorrow, but I won’t stop updating. I guarantee the quality, though the plot pace might be slightly slower.

Back on Sunday, the buildup is almost done, going into the major plot soon.
