Chapter 265 Simulation: Copywriting
Zhang Muzhi's heart trembled!
This young man's thoughts were even more absolute than his!
Twenty years ago, he and other like-minded individuals had overthrown the Qing Dynasty, but the entire country hadn't undergone a fundamental change, and had even become more chaotic.
He had once been lost in confusion.
It was for this reason that he turned to banditry, unwilling to be tainted like others who had abandoned their initial convictions.
However, he couldn't understand—
How did the son of a bean jelly seller come to possess such thoughts?
Instruction from an elder?
That was bullshit.
If Sun Shouyi had such thoughts, would he have lied due to Huang's threats?
"It's easy to remove the shackles from people's bodies, but to remove the shackles from their hearts is extremely difficult." Su Jie said, "My father just couldn't stand up because he had been kneeling for too long."
Zhang Muzhi asked curiously, "In a way, your father, Sun Shouyi, died because of us. You don't hold any resentment towards us?"
At that moment, the seventh, fifth, fourth, third, and second elders all had their hands on their waists.
If this Sun Mingyi made any subtle move, they would be the first to shoot.
Only seven steps separated the group, and the guns were quick.
Su Jie said, "If I claim I don't resent you, I imagine you wouldn't believe it, but if I say I do, I should hate Huang even more. He was the one who pressed down on our heads and hearts."
"I can still tell what matters more."
Zhang Muzhi gave a thumbs up, "Well said!"
Immediately, they all laughed.
After all, in their eyes, Su Jie had already become one of them.
It was at that point that Ma Bangde barged in angrily, yelling, "You've all screwed it up! Even a rabbit doesn't eat the grass by its own burrow!"
"Six men, in front of another man's face, and let people…"
"Huh? Seven people?"
When Ma Bangde saw Su Jie, he immediately calmed down, "The bean jelly seller's son? When did you join them?"
Zhang Muzhi walked over to Ma Bangde, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Just now." The reference version of this chapter is on M*V*LEMPYR.
The second elder said, "Big brother, this Tang guy is bad news, why don't we just shoot him?"
"Bullshit!"
Ma Bangde yelled, "You're the bad news! In front of the man's face, six of you taking turns! Disgusting! I was closing my eyes!"
Zhang Muzhi's gaze moved from his least trusted seventh elder to the third, fourth, fifth, and his most trusted second elder, sweeping over each one, finally settling on Ma Bangde, "My brothers, though each possesses extraordinary skills—seventh accepts his fate, third is self-reliant, fourth is ruthless, fifth is simple-minded, and second is particularly oriented—they would not do such a thing."
"Plus, it's obvious that Huang impersonated us, anyone among us could see that."
"Can't you?"
"No wonder Huang said you are an expert at feigning ignorance."
Ma Bangde stepped back, tripped over the door frame, fell, and was picked up by Zhang Muzhi, who demanded, "Tell me, have you been seeing Huang behind our backs?"
"No! Definitely not!" Ma Bangde immediately shook his head.
"Young man, what do you think?" Zhang Muzhi turned to Su Jie.
"I think he's not lying." Su Jie saw the hopeful look in Ma Bangde's eyes but remained unmoved and still told the truth, "I guess he's hiding someone at home. My nose is very sensitive; he has a strong scent of a woman on him, no more than a minute old."
"But if I remember correctly, the nearest brothel is a ten-minute walk away, and the scent would have faded long ago."
Ma Bangde helplessly asked, "Are you a dog?"
Su Jie responded, "Sorry, I'm an ox."
"Hiding someone? Who?" Zhang Muzhi's expression changed, "You're not doing the same thing as the third and fourth, are you?"
Last night, he had sent his brothers to distribute money, and they had been discovered by a prostitute named Hua. Fortunately, although Hua had been bought by Huang, she did not feel fondly for Huang and did not expose them, even reluctantly joining their ranks.
If Ma Bangde pulled a stunt like that…
"No! No!" Ma Bangde quickly responded, "It's my wife and son."
Afterwards, they went to Ma Bangde's room and saw his wife and son.
Ma Bangde's son was nine feet tall, strong and robust.
"The hell, he's eight years old?!" Zhang Muzhi exclaimed.
"He really is eight years old."
Su Jie was astonished; this eight-year-old boy reminded him of the rumors about Principal Ming Lun Sun Shisheng.
Legend had it that Sun Shisheng was also tall and strong at eight years old.
Perhaps Ma Bangde's son was extraordinary as well.
Zhang Muzhi and the others' mockery provoked the eight-year-old, and the kid, throwing a childish tantrum, pushed around Zhang Muzhi and the rest.
Though Zhang Muzhi and his men, seeing him as a child, didn't reciprocate, they were martial artists with great strength, yet they were pushed back by this eight-year-old.
Innate Divine Strength indeed!
It was then that the boy pushed against Su Jie with both arms.
However, Su Jie stood firm as a rock, not shifting an inch regardless of the push, and with a slight shudder, he sent the boy bouncing back onto the bed.
"Wow! Have you practiced martial arts?" Zhang Muzhi looked at Su Jie in surprise.
"Bang!"
Su Jie snatched a gun from the seventh elder's waist and pulled the trigger on his own temple.
Click!
Everyone saw the bullet slide from Su Jie's temple and fall to the ground.
The sound of the bullet hitting the floor was clearly audible.
"Is this guy even human?!" Ma Bangde was the first to break the silence, his eyes widened in shock.
