Chapter 54 A hail of bullets
"Everyone, in fact, these mercenaries were attracted by Jiang Peng?"
Panda immediately became angry and shouted at Zhou Chen with a red face: "You bastard, what did you say? Do you believe I will beat you up?"
After saying that, Panda rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward to beat Zhou Chen, but was stopped by Jiang Peng.
"Panda, you can't do anything."
Panda was so angry that he was shaking all over. If Jiang Peng hadn't pulled him, he would have hit Zhou Chen's hateful face with an iron fist.
"Are you guilty?" Zhou Chen smiled and continued: "Everyone in the neighborhood should know very well that some time ago, Jiang Peng had a dispute with Tsavo over a land contract dispute in Chinatown. If it weren't for Jiang Peng, these things would
Will the mercenaries drive the crocodiles here?"
Jiang Peng's brows jumped wildly, and he wanted to go up and beat Zhou Chen, but beating Zhou Chen now would be equivalent to admitting what he said, and no one would believe Jiang Peng.
"Zhou Chen, don't you see that these mercenaries are targeting all the neighbors in Chinatown? Tsavo has a grudge against me, why don't you let these mercenaries just sail over and capture me instead of going to such trouble to find a crocodile?"
Attack us?"
Jiang Peng could conclude that Zhou Chen didn't know about the giant crocodile Gustav, and Zhou Chen was deliberately throwing dirty water on himself just to bring down the prestige he had established in the hearts of everyone.
To put it more seriously, Zhou Chen now wishes Jiang Peng would be eaten by a crocodile.
After hearing Jiang Peng's words, Zhou Chen's eyes immediately became a little panicked, but soon, he had a new countermeasure.
"Haha, you are so eloquent. As we all know, the only people with transportation are your gang. Who knows if you are an accomplice in colluding with those mercenaries to lure the crocodile here!"
This sentence was just a slander. Jiang Peng looked at Zhou Chen and said with a sneer: "It's so funny, you are just talking nonsense."
Zhou Chen was unreasonable and continued to speak plausibly: "It's not like Dochai City has never experienced a typhoon before. Communication has also been interrupted, but it will be restored in a few days. We just need to stay in the Confucius Temple honestly.
, in a few days, when the communication is restored, someone from the government will send someone to rescue us, but what about you?"
Zhou Chen took a few steps forward, stood in front of Jiang Peng, and continued indignantly: "How many times did you secretly go out and drive a speedboat without telling everyone? There were problems every time you came back, and you kept hiding the fact that there was someone outside Chinatown.
The truth about the crocodile, you are afraid that someone will escape and miss your good news!"
Jiang Peng really didn't expect Zhou Chen to say these words, but the problem is that Jiang Peng did do these things.
Jiang Peng secretly drove a speedboat to hide the truth about the crocodile, but Jiang Peng did it for everyone's benefit, but at this time, he became the handle in Zhou Chen's hands.
Seeing the cold eyes of the neighbors around him, Jiang Peng gradually became out of breath.
Seeing Jiang Peng's expression change, Zhou Chen immediately felt as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood, and continued with a blushing face: "You are right, right? You are the one who colluded with the mercenaries, attracted the crocodiles, and wanted to harm everyone!"
"Xiao Chen! That's enough!" While Zhou Chen was talking nonsense, an old voice came from the crowd. Uncle Le, with his white hair, slowly walked out, looked at Zhou Chen, and said loudly: "That's enough.
Stop talking, I have lived with Jiang Peng for more than ten years, and he is definitely not such a person."
Zhou Chen's brows immediately wrinkled, he looked at Uncle Le and said, "Dad, you have nothing to do here, just stay here."
Uncle Le gave a loud "hum" and said, "Xiao Chen, don't you even listen to me now? I want you to go back to the house with me."
After Uncle Le said that, he grabbed Zhou Chen's hand and tried to pull him back into the house.
Zhou Chen immediately shook off Uncle Le's hand, and then
He took two steps back and continued to shout: "Dad, why do you keep turning your elbows outward? Jiang Peng is not a good person at all. He is just a hypocrite who pretends to be a hypocrite. Without him, there would be no mercenaries and soldiers outside."
Crocodiles, everyone’s lives will not be threatened!”
"You bastard!" Uncle Le scolded angrily, and slapped Zhou Chen on the face. A crisp slap sounded to everyone's ears.
"You hit me?" Zhou Chen was stunned. He covered his face, looked at Uncle Le, and said in disbelief: "You hit me? You have never hit me? You hit me today because of an outsider?"
Zhou Chen glanced at Jiang Peng, pointed at him and said, "Are you worthy of my mother? You beat your own son for him!"
Uncle Le pointed at Zhou Chen, trembling all over and unable to say a word. Suddenly, Uncle Le closed his eyes and fell backwards, feeling fainted from anger.
Fortunately, the people around him had quick eyesight and quick hands, and hugged Uncle Le, preventing him from falling to the ground.
"Uncle Le!" Jiang Peng quickly walked up to Uncle Le, patted his chest, pinched him, and patted him for a while before Uncle Le exhaled and slowly opened his eyes.
Uncle Le raised his hand tremblingly and pointed at Zhou Chen, but he was speechless.
Jiang Peng looked at Zhou Chen coldly and said coldly: "What do you want? Zhou Chen!"
Zhou Chen laughed evilly and said: "You, Jiang Peng, get out of the Confucius Temple, drive your broken boat, and leave here. We don't need a traitor among our neighbors in Chinatown."
"You fart, my father is not the traitor, but you, the snarky-looking thing, is the traitor!"
Jiang Xiaohu, who had been standing aside for a long time, couldn't bear it when he heard Zhou Chen's words. He finally jumped out, pointed at Zhou Chen's nose and cursed.
"If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, someone will give birth to a wild beast that no one will raise!"
"You!" This sentence hit Jiang Xiaohu's sore spot, and Jiang Xiaohu was so angry that he couldn't even speak.
"That's stupid." Jiang Peng couldn't bear it anymore, put down Uncle Le, came to Zhou Chen's side in two steps, and punched Zhou Chen in the face.
"Bang." Jiang Peng was so powerful that he punched Zhou Chen directly into the crowd. Fortunately, someone held him up, so Zhou Chen didn't fall.
After being punched by Jiang Peng, Zhou Chen had no intention of fighting back. Jiang Peng waved his fist and wanted to continue punching Zhou Chen, but was stopped by others.
"Just keep talking, why do you hit people?"
"Get out of the way!" Jiang Peng looked at the person in front of him and said expressionlessly.
The man was shorter than Jiang Peng and was immediately intimidated by Jiang Peng's aura. He wanted to get out of the way, but he was afraid of losing face and his face was full of tangles.
"It's okay. Let him hit me. It's better to beat me to death." Zhou Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, spat out a mouthful of blood with broken teeth, and sneered: "He is already anxious, and it hurts him. He is getting more and more
Hitting me means that he is more guilty."
After Zhou Chen said this, more people were already standing in front of him.
Seeing Zhou Chen's proud look, Jiang Peng's blood surged and he shouted, "Okay, I'm leaving!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar figure stood in front of Jiang Peng.
"Zhou Chen, it's time to finish your play."
Zhou Chen's pupils shrank for a while, and when he looked at the woman in front of him, something bad came to his mind.
"It's her again!" Zhou Chen thought silently in his heart.
The person who came was Jiang Yitong.
Jiang Yitong walked up to Jiang Peng, held his fist, spread it hard, then took Jiang Peng's palm and pulled him back.
"Zhou Chen, as far as I know, you are an employee of 3A Company, and Tsavo is your big boss."
Zhou Chen's face suddenly turned pale.
"Why don't you speak?" Jiang Yitong looked at Zhou Chen and chuckled.
"What did you say? Yes, you are right. I was indeed an employee of 3A company, but that was only once. I have resigned. If you don't believe me, you can ask my dad."
Although Zhou Chen was a little panicked, he didn't lose his composure. He pointed at Uncle Le in Jiang Xiaohu's arms and said slowly.
Although Uncle Le could not speak, he still nodded.
Jiang Yitong did not change his expression and continued: "Okay, in that case, you just said that Jiang Peng and these mercenaries joined forces to harm the neighbors here, right?"
Zhou Chen was confused as to why Jiang Yitong said this, but he still nodded.
"Well, let me ask you, didn't you just say that Jiang Peng and your boss..." Seeing Zhou Chen's expression that was about to change color, Jiang Yitong smiled and changed his words: "Oh, the former boss Tsavo had a conflict
, Since there is a conflict between Jiang Peng and Tsavo, why would Jiang Peng cooperate with a subordinate of a person who has a grudge against him? "
Zhou Chen's expression changed again, he didn't expect this just now.
"Is this a contradiction in what you said?" Jiang Yitong smiled and said calmly.
"He, of course he did it for money. Tsavo is so rich, Jiang Peng must have cooperated with Tsavo for money." Zhou Chen made up such a reason in a panic.
"Oh, if that's the case? Then I have to say something. Jiang Peng risked his life to save many people last night, including you, Zhou Chen. Since he wanted to harm everyone, why did he save everyone?"
After Jiang Yitong finished speaking, those people rescued by Jiang Peng nodded immediately.
"Isn't it too boring for Jiang Peng to do this? He doesn't have to save you. He just drove his daughter away in a speedboat and left in style. He didn't even come to the Confucius Temple."
Zhou Chen's forehead began to sweat, and his breathing began to become short.
"Also, Jiang Peng left last night because he wanted to find a ship. He wanted to drive his own cargo ship to take everyone out, but he met Tsavo's men, these mercenaries, on the way. He had to escape back.
We encountered a giant crocodile on the road, so we hid it in order to appease everyone and avoid causing panic."
"The name of this giant crocodile is Gustave. He is a king crocodile from Africa. He was smuggled to Dochai City by Tsavo and wanted to be transported to Europe. Unfortunately, he encountered a typhoon and tsunami and Gustave escaped.
, these mercenaries are here to chase the crocodiles, and driving the crocodiles here is all a conspiracy of Tsavo and has nothing to do with Jiang Peng!"
Jiang Yitong took a deep breath and continued: "The food in Confucius Temple was already finished at noon. Jiang Peng was afraid that everyone would be hungry, so he took the risk of being attacked by Gustav and sailed to the shops in China Street to find it.
After eating it, I almost died in the mouth of a crocodile."
Jiang Yitong glanced at everyone with stern eyes and said word by word: "Do you think such a person will harm you?"
After Jiang Yitong finished speaking, Mrs. Chen stood up first and said loudly: "Jiang Peng is definitely not such a person. Lawyer Jiang is right. I was trapped at home and met Jiang Peng. I asked him to save me. Jiang
Peng did not break his promise and actually sailed the boat to save me. If he wanted to harm me, I would be the first one not to believe him!"
Liu Laogen stood up for the second time, coughed and said: "I don't believe it either! When Jiang Peng rescued me, I accidentally fell into the rushing river. Without saying a word, he risked his life and jumped into the river to save me.
Me, my legs and feet are weak and I am a liability in the water. Jiang Peng never abandoned me and saved my whole family. Even if he says he wants to harm others, I don’t believe him!"
Soon those people who were rescued by Jiang Peng all expressed their opinions.
Only those who had previously sought refuge in the Confucius Temple alone were skeptical.
