Return of the King, Dominating the City-Chapter 1529 - 1514: Blocked

Seeing this, Sam froze for a moment.

Everything around him was no longer the towering buildings, nor the dazzling lights; instead, there was a gust of sea breeze.

Indeed, he could also hear the sound of waves.

"Where is this? Hey, driver, you’ve taken a wrong turn." Sam quickly shouted.

"This is the place, no mistake."

The driver in the front row finished speaking, opened the car door, and got down.

"No, driver, this is the dock; I need to go to xxx hotel." Sam shouted, "Do you even know the way, bastard? Do you realize how much money I make per minute? Drive me back immediately."

"This is where you’ll be staying from now on."

The driver smiled, walked to the back of the car, and said to Sam, "Mr. Sam, please get out of the car."

"You know me."

Sam’s mind instantly shook off a lot of the alcohol.

"Of course, I know you; my boss often mentions you to us." The driver appeared somewhat mocking, but cold sweat suddenly started flowing from Sam.

"Ma Sj, I just had drinks with Ma Sj tonight, hey, we drank too much. What’s going on here? Why have you brought me here? This isn’t right; I’m supposed to help Ma Sj with something tomorrow." Sam said, moving to the other side of the back seat, then opening the door to rush out. As soon as the door was opened, Sam saw outside his door three burly men with weapons of sorts in hand.

"What do you want?" Sam shouted, "Are you trying to rob me?"

"Apologies, Mr. Sam, our Ma Sj has instructed us to send you on."

The driver said, "Brothers, send Mr. Sam on his way."

"Ah."

Sam screamed and started to run sideways, but the person in front immediately swung a club at him, striking his back.

The powerful impact made Sam stumble forward.

Soon, those burly men rushed up, the one with a knife slashed Sam’s body, instantly cutting a large gash, and those with sticks and batons quickly attacked Sam.

Within less than a minute, the clattering sound left Sam lying on the ground unable to move, only able to exhale but not inhale.

"Tie him up and sink him."

The driver said.

The burly men nodded, one pulled out a hemp rope and quickly tied Sam’s hands and feet.

Once Sam was tied, a few of them carried him towards the sea.

Although Sam had been beaten almost senseless, he started to struggle fiercely again as he saw the raging seawater ahead of him. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

The will to survive is astonishing; despite being gravely injured, Sam’s struggle nearly caused the burly men to lose their grip.

"If there’s a next life, remember to be one of us Shen Zhou people." The driver sneered in mockery at Sam, "What’s so good about capitalist society, haha."

After saying that, the burly men threw Sam into the water.

Splash.

Sam plunged into the water, barely struggling before sinking to the bottom.

A few minutes later.

The phone of White Tiger rang.

White Tiger checked the phone and then told Ma ChunTian, "It’s done."

"Mm, White Tiger, this is the fate of betraying us." Ma ChunTian said with a smile, "If someone is going to be a partner, there cannot be any other intentions. As soon as I find out my partner has other intentions, I’ll definitely make them regret it; don’t you agree?"

After saying that, Ma ChunTian squinted at White Tiger.

White Tiger, having emerged from a pile of dead bodies, wasn’t intimidated by Ma ChunTian’s vague threats, replying with a smile, "I understand."

"Good that you understand, haha, I’m tired, White Tiger, rest early."

With those words, Ma ChunTian stood up, walked towards the bedroom, while White Tiger also got up, heading towards the door.

Ma ChunTian did not see White Tiger off, nor did White Tiger say more to Ma ChunTian. Despite Ma ChunTian smiling at everyone, inside he was quite proud.

White Tiger didn’t mind Ma ChunTian’s treatment, as from tonight onwards, he was going to oppose Ma ChunTian completely.

Leaving Ma ChunTian’s house, White Tiger walked the same path Sam did, exiting the municipal compound.

A black sedan slowly stopped in front of White Tiger, who got into the car, which then drove away from the compound’s gate.

White Tiger, seated in the car, extracted a small black object the size of a fingernail from the collar of his clothes. He pressed it, and a small memory card appeared in his hand. It contained the recording of his conversation with Ma ChunTian tonight, which would be his weapon against Ma ChunTian.

That night, White Tiger made several copies of the recording, giving one to Wen Changlin, another to Song Yun, keeping one for himself, and handing one to the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of SH City.

This deputy director, although outwardly aligned with Ma ChunTian, was actually aligned with Wen Changlin’s faction. What the deputy director would do with the memory card was beyond White Tiger’s control.

Of course, Song Yun couldn’t interfere with this matter either.

Song Yun stood downstairs in the dormitory, speaking helplessly to the housekeeper aunt, "Auntie, my girlfriend came back from out of town, I’m just taking her up to see our dormitory, don’t be so concerned."

"I know you guys very well." The housekeeper aunt said, "You guys love to use this excuse to fool me, many have brought girls upstairs this way and then didn’t come down all night. I don’t really mind what you do, but a lot of students complain, you know? They say those who bring girls to the dormitory shake the bunks all night, disturbing their sleep and studies. Honestly, why don’t you rent a room elsewhere for just tens of yuan? Why insist on the dormitory? I see this girl is quite pretty, Song Yun, I’m familiar with you, so here’s my advice: take her to a hotel outside, it’s said that tonight school leaders will inspect, if you’re caught bringing girls back, you’ll be criticized."
