Chapter 56: Bozai Exposed

Page 1/3

When Cao Yang heard from Bozi that Liu Zhenhu was at home, he didn’t enter but turned and left immediately. During the daytime surveillance, he had noticed a few men whose aura clearly did not belong to this villa district; their rough, underworld demeanor marked them as Liu Zhenhu’s henchmen, undoubtedly setting a trap for him inside.

He took a taxi to Bozi’s place and knocked, but there was no answer. He forcibly twisted the lock open. Inside, Bozi’s belongings were still there, but Xiaoling’s things were gone.

He had come to confirm one thing: whether Bozi had betrayed him.

When he saw those men earlier, he suspected Bozi’s betrayal. But after careful thought, Bozi had no reason to betray him—if he sent the video to the Henan gang, Bozi would surely be doomed.

Even if coerced or threatened, the fact remained that Bozi personally killed his own big brother. So Bozi betraying him seemed unlikely.

If not Bozi, then only Xiaoling remained. Xiaoling probably didn’t know what agreement Cao Yang had made with Bozi, but she was aware that he had contact with Bozi.

Cao Yang had also heard from Bozi that Liu Zhenhu had put a bounty on him: one million yuan dead, two million alive.

Money can move hearts, and faced with temptation, Xiaoling betraying her boyfriend was not impossible.

The current situation confirmed his suspicions: Xiaoling had indeed betrayed them.

Bozi told her not to go to work recently, so she quit Baiye. By chance, she overheard others talking about Cao Yang and the bounty.

Xiaoling lacked the ability to kill or capture Cao Yang, but she thought providing some clues might earn her a reward. So she asked her manager to contact Liu Zhenhu, went to his villa, and told him everything about Cao Yang and Bozi.

Liu Zhenhu did not disappoint her and directly gave her 200,000 yuan, instructing her to act as if she knew nothing.

Now Xiaoling had taken the money home to build a house for her parents, while poor Bozi remained in the dark.

Bozi was very nervous at this moment. He expected Cao Yang to come but waited in vain.

Cao Yang sent him a message saying there might be a trap and that he would act another day.

Bozi was disappointed and lay down to sleep.

...

“Big brother, dawn is breaking. You should rest.”

“Why hasn’t he come? Could he have discovered our ambush?”

The younger brother shook his head, indicating he didn’t know.

Liu Zhenhu sighed, “Tell the brothers to come out.”

From the villa’s rooms, seventy or eighty men emerged. They had spent the entire night in several rooms, forbidden from smoking or speaking loudly, which had them all stifled.

“Everyone, go back and rest.”

Awei dismissed the men and then looked toward Bozi, who was staying near the dog kennel. “What should we do with this guy?”

Liu Zhenhu looked at Bozi, who was sleeping soundly. He was furious but still unaware that Bozi had killed Liu Yu. He only thought Bozi had taken a bribe from Cao Yang and betrayed him.

“Bring him here!”

Four henchmen woke the soundly sleeping Bozi and dragged him before Liu Zhenhu.

“Kneel!” one thug kicked Bozi to the ground.

“B-big brother… what’s wrong?” Bozi’s legs trembled; he sensed trouble.

“What benefits did you take from Cao Yang? Why betray me?” Liu Zhenhu looked down on him with disdain.

“I didn’t!” Bozi sweat coldly. He had been threatened and had taken nothing from Cao Yang.

Not only did he take no bribe, but he also got beaten up and cuckolded.

“Looks like you’re not honest!” Liu Zhenhu signaled, and several thugs gave Bozi a brutal beating.

“Stop! Stop!” Bozi begged in pain.

Only now did he realize why he was so “lucky” to be chosen as the dog feeder—Liu, the boss, already knew about his collusion with Cao Yang and had deliberately let him deliver false information.

“Big brother, I really didn’t take anything from Cao Yang. He threatened me!”

“Oh? What kind of threat did he use?”

“He… he…” Bozi hesitated; if he told the truth, he’d die now.

“He’s messing with my girlfriend and said if I don’t cooperate, he’d come after her every day!” Bozi could only come up with this excuse.

“You love your girlfriend a lot?” Liu Zhenhu had seen Xiaoling and thought she was nothing special; he had little interest in her.

“Yes, I love her very much,” Bozi nodded.

“Damn you! You’d betray your big brother just for a woman!”

Awei slapped him wildly, delivering over a dozen blows until Bozi’s mouth and nose bled.

Liu Zhenhu grabbed Bozi’s phone and checked the messages. Cao Yang’s recent text was still unread.

“This kid is very alert. At the slightest sign of trouble, he took off.”

Seeing the message, Liu Zhenhu believed Cao Yang had fled. He looked down at Bozi, beaten into a bloody mess. “Do you want to live or die?”

“Live, live!” Bozi kowtowed, thinking, Isn’t that obvious? Who’d want to die?

“If you want to live, cooperate fully. Tonight, call him as I instruct. If you slip up, I’ll feed you to the dogs!”

“Y-yes, yes…” Bozi nodded repeatedly.

“Take him away and watch him closely.”

Bozi was taken away to the dogs. Liu Zhenhu rubbed his forehead; he had prepared all night, yet Cao Yang neither took the bait nor stayed hidden, even exposing his villa. What a loss.

“Big brother, how did he know about our ambush?” Awei was puzzled. They had hidden well; even Bozi didn’t know.

Liu Zhenhu shook his head. He didn’t know either; he could only say the kid was very alert.

Cao Yang’s alertness was average—just a bit sharper than most.

He had already returned to the villa, now hiding in the drainage well beneath it.

Suspecting a trap, he didn’t enter rashly but waited until dawn. Hearing many footsteps leave, he confirmed his judgment was correct.

He sent a message to Bozi saying he had left, deliberately so Liu Zhenhu would see it.

Since Liu knew Bozi was a traitor, he wouldn’t spare him and would check his messages.

Cao Yang didn’t tell Bozi he was exposed; he didn’t care about Bozi’s life or death. He was playing along, like Liu Zhenhu, to lower their guard.

He stayed in the well until eleven o’clock, then carefully opened the cover and quietly climbed over the wall into the villa.

These men hadn’t slept all night; now they should be sound asleep.

Cao Yang dared not be careless. Although the main ambush force had left, Liu’s usual security men remained, surely someone was on duty.

“Woof! Woof!” As he climbed in, two large guard dogs began barking wildly; dogs are far more sensitive than humans.

“What’s General Weiwu barking about?” a sleepy guard asked another.

“Don’t know, you go check.”

“Why should I go?”

“Damn you!”

The guard cursed and went to investigate—and never returned.
