Chapter 905 Li Sheng was knocked unconscious
Gu Nan didn't think any more, quickened his pace and went straight to the steel rolling mill - there was an important meeting about production scheduling in the factory today, which was scheduled to start at nine o'clock, and he couldn't let this incident delay the business.
Not far behind him, in the alley, two gangs engaged in a silent struggle. On one side were Monkey and Mazi, ordered to monitor Gu Nan. Dressed in unassuming coarse cloth jackets, they moved slowly, pretending to be passersby, their eyes fixed on Gu Nan's back. On the other side were Li Sheng and Hu Han, sent by Tong Ren. Half a block away, they walked slowly, trying to blend in with the crowd, but their eyes were fixed on Monkey and Mazi. Like a revolving lantern in the alley, they swarmed in front and behind, wrestling in secret amid the mottled walls and the clamor of the city.
The more Li Sheng waited, the more anxious he became. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "They're just two street thugs. They don't seem to have any real skills. Why waste so much time following them? It's a complete waste of effort. It would be better to just go up and arrest them and save trouble."
Feeling anxious, he subconsciously quickened his pace. As he turned, his shoulder accidentally bumped into a stone block in the corner, making a slight noise. The monkey in front was already extremely alert, listening intently for any movement behind him as he followed. This subtle sound immediately made his heart tighten. He turned sharply, his eyes sweeping across the crowd behind him. Although he didn't see Li Sheng and the others directly, he could tell something was wrong from their momentary pauses and evasive glances.
Monkey quickly tugged at Ma Zi beside him and said in a low, hurried voice, "Oh no, Ma Zi, we're being followed! This is no small matter. If our true identity is exposed, we won't be able to report back. We have to find a way to get rid of them!"
Ma Zi, who had no strong opinions to begin with, panicked upon hearing this. His face turned pale, and he nervously grabbed the monkey's arm and asked, "Then...what should we do now? It's broad daylight, where can we hide?"
Monkey suddenly grinned, a sly look flashing in his eyes. He patted the back of Ma Zi's hand and said soothingly, "Don't worry, just wait for me. When we get to the three-way intersection ahead, listen to my signal and go to the narrow alley on the left. Remember, don't look back, just keep going forward. I have a way to get rid of them all. You just need to keep an eye on Gu Nan as planned."
In fact, the monkey had vaguely felt someone watching him from behind since turning the second corner, but he had never found the opportunity to confirm it. Now that the other party had revealed their flaw, it actually calmed him down - the perfect opportunity to shake off the tail completely.
Sure enough, after only a few dozen steps, they reached the fork in the road. Monkey suddenly winked at Ma Zi, and the two separated instantly, one to the left, the other to the right, their steps swiftly disappearing into the depths of the deep alley, their footsteps carried away by the wind.
Li Sheng was at a loss when he saw this. This sudden change had disrupted all his plans. He turned to look at Hu Han beside him, and said in a panic, "Brother Hu, they...they went their separate ways. What...what should we do? We can't just go after them separately, right?"
Hu Han's heart sank. He had originally thought of letting Li Sheng stay where he was and continue to watch the monkey while he chased Ma Zi, so that he could take care of both sides. But before he could even utter a word, he saw Li Sheng, like a lit firecracker, rushing off in the direction where Ma Zi had disappeared, his movements so frantic that they stirred a gust of wind.
Hu Han's heart skipped a beat, thinking something was wrong. He wanted to call out to him but it was too late. He could only shout at his back, "Be careful! I have a feeling something is wrong. They might have separated on purpose to lure the tiger away from the mountain! I have to stay here and keep an eye on Gu Nanjin as he enters the steel mill to ensure his safety! You better be careful and don't fall into any trap!"
After saying that, he didn't look at Li Sheng's back again, but kept his eyes fixed on the direction where Gu Nan was gradually moving away. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the figure disappeared into the gate of the steel rolling mill. However, he still didn't dare to relax at all. He found a tea stall on the corner of the street and sat down, staring at the movement at the factory gate without blinking.
Li Sheng nodded, his tone filled with confidence: "Alright, Brother Hu, aren't you clear about my abilities? Don't worry, I can't be wrong."
Hu Han didn't respond, simply continuing to follow behind Gu Nan. The most important thing right now was to protect Gu Nan, and there was no room for carelessness. However, on the way, he still found an opportunity to call Director Tong Ren, hoping he could send a few more men. After all, Li Sheng was a rookie with little knowledge of the enemy's situation, and more manpower would provide more security.
Tong Ren was a little angry when he received the call - this Li Sheng was still so troublesome and didn't follow the arrangements at all. But at this point, there was no other way, so he could only send two people over to check the situation.
Elsewhere, Li Sheng followed Ma Zi quietly. As they reached a corner, Ma Zi suddenly stopped and didn't move. Li Sheng waited patiently behind him. Just as he felt something was amiss, he heard a movement from behind. The monkey had somehow circled behind him, and before he could react, he was knocked unconscious by a knife.
Ma Zi came over with a fierce look in his eyes, and raised his hand to kill him, but Monkey stopped him: "Mack, are you crazy? Our mission is to kill Gu Nan. If we kill him here, the police will come to our door soon. How can we kill Gu Nan then?"
Ma Zi kicked Li Sheng hard on the ground and spat, "This kid is lucky today, otherwise I would have killed him!"
Monkey hurriedly pulled Ma Zi away, muttering to himself, "I didn't expect Gu Nan to be so alert and have already discovered them. I have to tell Boss Xiao Bao about this."
On the way, Ma Zi couldn't help but ask, "What should we do next? Should we continue to keep an eye on Gu Nan?"
Monkey rolled his eyes at him and said, "Are you stupid? They've already sent people to keep an eye on us, but they're still holding off on taking action. Aren't they just trying to find the person behind us? Now we have to go back to the boss and explain this to him. Let's see if he's still going to take action."
Monkey was actually wondering: he had no grudge against Gu Nan, so there was no need to fight him to the death. Although Xiao Bao and Lu Yan had a feud, this matter had no benefit for them and the brothers, so there was really no need to risk their lives.
Ma Zi didn't say another word, only nodded gravely. He knew that Monkey was quick-witted, full of ideas, and practical, capable. Following his decisions would guarantee no major mistakes. Although he looked rough, he knew how to conceal his shortcomings. At times like these, speaking less and cooperating more was the safest course of action.
The two men walked one in front and one behind, walking briskly through several secluded alleys, and soon returned to the base set by Xiao Bao - an inconspicuous abandoned warehouse with some dilapidated wooden boxes piled inside. The air was filled with dust and mold, which was just right to hide from others.
