Guan Daqiu was furious, looking at the ten bodies in front of him. He wished he could immediately lead his men to seek revenge. When he arrived at the port early in the morning, Guan Daqiu was still angry. How dare Xin not answer his call, and even more, not come to greet him in the morning? He must have grown a lion's heart and a leopard's gall. After getting off the fishing boat, Guan Daqiu stood on the platform in front of the port, looking at the leaderless gangsters in front of him. His anger flared up instantly. He suppressed his rage and asked, "Does anyone know where Xin and the others went?"
Several people who often hung around with Xin hurried to Guan Daqiu and said flatteringly, "Boss Guan, Brother Chao and a few other brothers said your boat would dock at dawn, so they went to the warehouse early to rest and prepare to greet you in the morning."
Hearing this, Guan Daqiu sensed something was wrong. On one hand, he arranged for his men to start unloading the cargo, and on the other, he led 30 killers straight to the warehouse. Guan Daqiu instinctively felt that something might have happened to Xin and the others.
Just as they arrived at the warehouse, they saw countless bullet holes on the second floor and shattered glass on the ground. Seeing this, Guan Daqiu thought, "It's bad, Xin was ambushed." The people who usually got along well with Xin immediately rushed to the second floor. When they saw inside, they were horrified and shouted to Guan Daqiu, "Boss, Xin and the others are all dead."
Hearing this, Guan Daqiu immediately went upstairs. As soon as he got there, he saw the bodies and the countless bullet holes. Seeing this, he could no longer contain his anger and roared, "Who the hell did this? I'll kill his whole family."
Xin, as Guan Daqiu's trusted subordinate, had risked his life for him many times over the years, earning his deep trust. This time, he even left Xin in charge as the temporary leader while he was at sea, showing how much he trusted him. It was unimaginable that Xin would meet such a tragic end in the warehouse. Due to its remote location, the police had not discovered it.
As Guan Daqiu's men were carrying the bodies out, two brand new Mercedes-Benz GLK300s slowly drove out from the other side of the warehouse and stopped downstairs. Liu Yongquan and Liu Yongan, along with ten other brothers, smirked cruelly. Suddenly, they took out their MP5s and started firing at Guan Daqiu and his men on the second floor. The MP5s, with a 20-round magazine and a firing rate of three rounds per second, rained bullets on the second floor. The ten MP5s formed a wall of fire, instantly turning the 60-square-meter second-floor lounge into a sieve.
In less than a minute, the 200 rounds from the ten submachine guns were all spent. The second floor of the warehouse was once again showered with bullets. The sound of gunfire, shattering glass, and bullets piercing metal echoed in Guan Daqiu's ears, scaring him and his men to the point where they could only lie on the floor, not daring to move.
Unfortunately, their shooting skills were terrible, and the bullets fired while moving were wildly inaccurate. They only managed to wound a few of Guan Daqiu's men at the beginning, but no one was killed. Guan Daqiu, who was lying on the floor, was initially terrified, but when he accidentally looked up and saw Liu Yongquan and the others' poor shooting, he immediately shouted to his men, "They can't use guns, find cover and counterattack." Guan Daqiu's men also noticed this and quickly found cover to return fire. When they realized their bullets were running out, the other side also found cover to counterattack. A few bullets even shattered the front glass of the car. The men were frustrated by their poor shooting and returned to the car, and Liu Yongquan and the others immediately drove to the abandoned shipyard.
One of the small-time gangsters who came with them suddenly shouted to Guan Daqiu, "Boss, the ones who just shot at you were Liu Yongan and Liu Yongquan. They've had a grudge against us for a while."
Guan Daqiu had returned early this time to get the secret from Liu Yongquan and Liu Yongan. The ability to catch crabs in large quantities in the Devil's Sea was a huge profit. He had the ships and the men, and the Devil's Sea, with its vast expanse and centuries of no one daring to enter, must be rich in resources. If he knew the secret to entering the Devil's Sea, he wouldn't have to worry about making money for the next thirty years. Dealing with Guan Dahai was just a side task; making money was the main goal.
Hearing the gangster's reminder, Guan Daqiu, who was lying on the ground next to Xin's body, immediately said to his 30 killers, "A Yong, take 25 brothers and drive to bring Liu Yongquan and Liu Yongan back. The remaining 5 brothers stay with me for emergencies." In fact, the remaining 5 brothers were there to protect him.
On Liu Yongan's side, after the killings last night, Li Guohui did not flee in a panic like the others. Instead, he observed the surroundings and thought about the next steps. When he realized how remote the place was, he thought that even though the gunshots were loud, people far away would likely mistake them for fireworks. It was New Year's Eve the next day, and many people were already setting off fireworks that night. So, Li Guohui changed the plan. After returning to the abandoned shipyard, he immediately let everyone rest and arranged for Liu Yongquan and Liu Yongan to take two cars to the warehouse at 4 a.m. to wait. If Guan Daqiu came, they were to kill him if possible; if not, they were to bring him to the abandoned shipyard and have the brothers kill him together. The two understood, and that's why Liu Yongan and Liu Yongquan's cars were seen that morning. Liu Yongan and Liu Yongquan were initially very happy to see Guan Daqiu, thinking they could kill him directly. Unfortunately, their shooting was too poor, and Guan Daqiu wasn't even scratched. Frustrated, they slowly drove, hoping Guan Daqiu would send his men to chase them.
Sure enough, it didn't take long. Just 10 minutes later, Liu Yongan saw five Hummers speeding behind his car. Seeing that they had taken the bait, he immediately urged his men to speed up. Thus, the two sides raced to the abandoned shipyard.
By this time, Li Guohui and the others had been waiting in the abandoned shipyard for a long time. Li Guohui, holding his sniper rifle, was lost in thought.
When Li Guohui saw the five Hummers following Liu Yongan and the others from the second-floor window of the abandoned shipyard, he knew it was time to act.
As Liu Yongan and the others fled, they couldn't help but think how lucky they were that their boss had bought Mercedes cars. If they had been in a lesser car, they would have been caught by Guan Daqiu's men before reaching the shipyard, which would have been a tragedy. Relying on their familiarity with the roads, they finally managed to escape into the abandoned shipyard.
A Yong, leading 24 killers, arrived outside the abandoned shipyard and saw Liu Yongan and the others escape inside. A Yong couldn't help but smile cruelly. In his view, Liu Yongan and the others had been forced to flee into the abandoned shipyard in a panic. Thinking of their poor shooting earlier, A Yong couldn't help but laugh. His men asked, "Brother Yong, why are you laughing?"
A Yong laughed and said, "I'm laughing at how useless Liu Yongan and Liu Yongquan are, and their men are even more useless. If their shooting had been a bit better, we wouldn't be standing here chasing them. I can't believe Xin died from such poor shooting. It's truly tragic." Hearing A Yong's words, his men couldn't help but laugh. Thinking of the gunfight earlier, they felt very confident, especially since Liu Yongan's side only had ten men, while they had 25.
The benefit of killing Xin early was that without him, it was like blinding Guan Daqiu and his men. After being away from Donghai City for half a year, the city had changed. Not to mention what the other three major gangs had done, even the people in the small fishing village had changed. They had become a group capable of taking their lives.
In Guan Daqiu and A Yong's view, the teenagers in the small fishing village were still the same kids they used to kick around. After three life-and-death battles with Guan Dahai, three months of intense military training, and ten years of pent-up anger, these teenagers had become cold-blooded killers.
Moreover, A Yong didn't know that he was facing not ten but twenty-four enemies. Only Xin and Guan Daqiu knew this. In his anger, Guan Daqiu had forgotten to remind A Yong about the number of enemies. Besides, with their poor shooting, even ten times as many wouldn't be a match for A Yong and his men.
Most importantly, before he died, Xin had not told Guan Daqiu that he had lost control over the small fishing village and had no idea what they were doing. Xin didn't dare tell Guan Daqiu over the phone for fear of being scolded. He planned to tell him in person when he returned. Xin was certain that the small fishing village was no longer a place they could go. If they didn't let him know what was happening in the village, they must have set up some defenses or traps to wait for them.
Unfortunately, Xin didn't get the chance to report this to Guan Daqiu before he died in the warehouse.
