Chapter 376: Chapter 337: Death Always Comes So Suddenly_2

Thinking about it, he immediately proposed the first request tentatively, "I’m very uncomfortable being tied up; untie the ropes for me. Don’t worry, you are watching from above. I can’t run away in the basement. Also, for food, I want to eat the same as you guys, stop feeding me the pig feed you gave me during the day. I can’t accept that."

"But what you ate during the day was the same as ours," the bucktoothed kid said in a quiet tone.

Dongye Gen: "..."

"Like this." He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, "Buy some good meals and put it on my tab. Think of it as if I’m treating you, all right?"

"Okay, okay, okay," the bucktoothed kid nodded repeatedly.

Afterward, Dongye Gen recommended a stock for him to buy and analyzed the stock market for him.

The bucktoothed kid loved trading stocks; who doesn’t dream of dominating the financial market? He listened, utterly fascinated.

And so, two days passed with the bucktoothed kid basically spending all his time in the basement attending Dongye Gen’s "classes."

The stock that had been recommended to him the night of the first day indeed rose these past two days, making him trust Dongye Gen even more, lavishing him with all sorts of delicacies.

Big Back Head didn’t concern himself with these matters; after all, as long as the person was locked in the basement, he couldn’t escape. Just one more day, and he would release him after getting the ransom.

Meanwhile, during these two days, Aoyama Xiu Xin wasn’t idle either.

He frequently contacted Dongye Yuusei, asking if the kidnappers had made any calls and all the while subtly sowing discord between him and Sankai Seichiro with his suggestive remarks.

On the evening of the 17th, Big Back Head, the crew-cut dwarf, and the round-faced middle-aged man were all asleep.

The bucktoothed kid was still in the basement listening to Dongye Gen analyze stocks, and Nozaki Cangjian, without waking the other three, also made his way quietly into the basement.

"This stock..." Dongye Gen was in the midst of talking nonstop when he suddenly saw Nozaki Cangjian, his voice cut off abruptly, speaking in a low tone, "Someone’s here."

The bucktoothed kid turned to look, grinning, "Why have you come? Do you also want to jump into the stock market?"

As his words fell, he turned again to speak to Nozaki Cangjian, "It was he who recommended that I seek your advice."

Dongye Gen nodded slightly to Nozaki Cangjian.

But Nozaki Cangjian drew his gun and pointed it at him; without a word, he pulled the trigger without any hesitation.

"Bang!"

Dongye Gen fell to the ground, a bullet in his forehead, his face etched with shock and confusion, lying on his back, his eyes staring blankly at the basement ceiling.

He couldn’t understand why the other side would kill him.

He hadn’t expected to die so abruptly.

"Bang! Bang!"

Before the bucktoothed kid could question anything, gunshots rang out once more, one bullet hitting his leg, another bullet right in his heart, causing him to fall to the ground as well.

The interval between the three shots didn’t exceed two seconds.

After firing three shots, Nozaki Cangjian swiftly moved forward, took a gun from the bucktoothed kid’s body, placed it in his hand, aimed it at his own shoulder, and pulled the trigger.

"Boom!"

He groaned, sweat beading on his forehead, took two steps back, and then collapsed onto the ground.

"What’s going on! What happened!"

The gunshot had awakened the three people in the living room.

The lid to the basement was flung open, and Big Back Head and his two men, unclear about the situation below, didn’t dare to rashly descend to check. Instead, they stood guard at the hole with their guns drawn, shouting down.

"Big Brother, the Bucktoothed kid somehow got persuaded by Dongye Gen, wanted to sneak off with him and even shot me," Nozaki Cangjian yelled out to the others.

Big Back Head then asked, "Where are they now?"

"They should be dead," Nozaki Cangjian answered.

Then, Big Back Head and his two men carefully made their way down the stairs into the basement, only to find Dongye Gen with a bullet through his forehead lying on the ground, the Bucktoothed kid shot in the heart and leg, still clutching his own gun.

Nozaki Cangjian had taken a bullet in his left shoulder, and now he sat on the ground, pressing firmly on the wound with his other hand.

"Big Brother," Nozaki Cangjian pale-faced, began reciting the story he’d concocted, "I got up to go to the bathroom and saw light through the crack of the basement lid, so I decided to come down and have a look. I didn’t expect to run into Bucktooth trying to lead Dongye Gen out. He even drew his gun first and threatened me to go with them, claiming Dongye Gen had promised him fifty million US dollars and was willing to share twenty million with me."

"I told him he’d been fooled by Dongye Gen, but it seemed that Bucktooth, after spending the past two days with Dongye Gen, had been brainwashed and wouldn’t believe me. He was too afraid of waking you guys up to open fire, and he didn’t dare to argue loudly with me. I was afraid he would shoot, so I didn’t dare to call for you, and both sides just ended up in a standoff."

"Maybe Dongye Gen, desperate to escape, offered me an even higher sum, which distracted Bucktooth, and that’s when I shot first, aiming for his legs. Dongye Gen tried to run, and in a moment of desperation, I shot him dead on the spot. When Bucktooth saw this, he fired at me, and I had no choice but to shoot back, killing him too."

From the moment he learned the Bucktoothed kid was obsessed with day trading,

he had come up with this whole plan.

"You did well!" Big Back Head said through clenched teeth with a grim expression, "That dumbass got possessed by the stock market, actually believing Dongye Gen’s words."

After personally inspecting the scene, he had no doubts about Nozaki Cangjian’s story since it was true that for the past two days, Bucktooth had been cozying up to Dongye Gen and had been working for a better deal for Dongye Gen. Moreover, Nozaki Cangjian, on his own, had no motive to kill the two men.

"But now that Dongye Gen is dead, won’t Dongye Yuusei refuse to pay us?" Nozaki Cangjian expressed his concern.

Big Back Head snorted coldly, "How would he know that Dongye Gen is already dead? As long as he doesn’t see the body, he wouldn’t dare bet on it. He’ll still have to pay up obediently."

He understood well the mentality of those with loved ones held captive.

"Big Brother is wise. I lack experience in this area; I worried for no reason," Nozaki Cangjian flattered.

"It’s just that damn Bucktooth, making things complicated," Big Back Head muttered darkly, "originally, once we got the money and released them, they might not have even called the police, but now that we can’t deliver the men, Dongye Yuusei will definitely call the police. So, the money might be easy to grab but damn hard to get away with."

Most rich people prefer to pay off trouble rather than foster complications afterward. What had been an almost certain deal was now fraught with risks and uncertainties.

"Big Brother, considering the situation now, what’s the point of worrying about that, we’ve just got to take our chances," the round-faced middle-aged man said with a dark face, stepping forward to kick the Bucktoothed kid’s body, "he damn well wanted to hog it all to himself, serves him right."

"All right, since things have gone awry, let’s go upstairs to discuss our next move and figure out how to get away successfully. We also need to take care of Nozaki’s wound quickly," Big Back Head exhaled as he spoke.

As his words concluded, he was the first to leave.

The crew-cut shorty stepped forward to help Nozaki Cangjian up and start toward the basement stairs. As for the bodies of Dongye Gen and the Bucktoothed kid, no one gave them any further attention.
