Rebirth of the Peak Young Master

Chapter 1432: Suspicion

Zuo Muyang shook his head and said, "I don’t know. I’ve been suspicious lately. There’s this inexplicable unease. Go upstairs and check the surroundings. Make sure the hotel is safe."

"Alright, I’ll go now." Brother Xiang nodded, then quickly walked to the staircase.

Zuo Qingyun saw Zuo Muyang and happily waved, saying, "Muyang, come over here, sit here, sit next to your father!"

"Alright!" Zuo Muyang suspiciously glanced at the second floor again, then smiled and walked towards Zuo Qingyun.

Of course, Jiang Guangrong knew Gao Xiang, but he didn’t take Gao Xiang lightly. Seeing Gao Xiang go upstairs, Jiang Guangrong dazedly went to the second-floor restroom. Jiang Guangrong forcefully pulled on the restroom door, only to find it locked. A man’s voice came from inside: "Wait a minute, someone’s in here!"

Jiang Guangrong anxiously glanced around the entire second floor. Today, the whole Victory Restaurant was packed to capacity by Zuo Qingyun. The other rooms on the second floor were already locked. Jiang Guangrong had nowhere to hide.

But Jiang Guangrong had to place his hand on the wall beside the restroom door, facing the restroom, facing the corridor.

Soon, Gao Xiang came up with four people. Gao Xiang slowly walked on the second floor with his people, surveying the scene. Before long, Gao Xiang was right behind Jiang Guangrong, and most importantly, Gao Xiang and his people stopped.

Jiang Guangrong couldn’t help but feel his heart leap to his throat. If his identity were exposed, his death would be a small matter. The most important thing was that he couldn’t avenge the old lady. Thinking of this, a bit of sweat involuntarily appeared on Jiang Guangrong’s forehead.

At this critical moment, Zuo Qingyun shouted from downstairs: "Xiang, why are you going upstairs? Come down quickly, it’s been a long time since our kids drank together, hurry and come down, don’t be so distant, like with family!"

Gao Xiang walked to the railing and replied with a smile: "Okay, boss, I’m coming right down!"

As Gao Xiang walked towards the stairs, he said to the people beside him: "I’ll go down first, you go upstairs and see if there’s anyone suspicious!"

"Yes!"

Soon Brother Fei was left on the second floor, and Jiang Guangrong agreed. Maybe it was because of the cold sweat on his forehead making him vulnerable, losing control of his emotions. Jiang Guangrong believed that if today’s assassination attempt on Zuo Qingyun were by Miyamoto Qingzi, with her makeup mask, even the young and arrogant Brother Fei in front of him wouldn’t recognize her, and he believed that even when Miyamoto faced the two for a conversation, she would not reveal even a trace of murder, that is the top assassin.

Jiang Guangyao stood with a pot, coldly watching Zuo Muyang’s and Zuo Qingyun’s laughter, then turned around, picked up a broom, and continued sweeping.

Time flew quickly, and soon it was 11:30 PM. In this period, Jiang Guangrong fully realized what non-work was like. Jiang Guangrong had waited downstairs for a group to let their guard down, fully fed, and at their limit, and with Zuo Qingyun’s family eating, only a few men shouting and drinking, Jiang Guangrong, who had been observing the situation, finally realized that his opportunity was coming, an opportunity he had waited for a long time!

"Brother Guangrong, did you call me?" Xiao Rou came to the second floor and asked, looking at Jiang Guangyao’s back.

Jiang softly hummed, saying: "Let the people upstairs come down and eat something, it’s New Year’s Eve after all, we can’t go home for a reunion dinner, let them have a simple dinner here."

Xiao Rou’s eyes lit up, she nodded and said: "Alright, Brother Guangrong is considerate as usual!"

Xiao Rou quickly called for the four helpers upstairs, the four people heard Xiao Rou, although their eyes were filled with longing, they were unwilling, but since the boss was eating here, going to eat themselves was against the rules, if the boss found out, they might be punished.

Seeing the situation, Jiang Guangyao approached and persuaded: "Guys, it’s New Year’s Eve, you can’t go home for a reunion dinner. Have a simple meal with us here, and even if your boss knows, I don’t think they would blame you!"

None of the Qingyun Gang dared to say anything.

"Come on, continue!" The enthusiastic Xiao Rou encouraged the Qingyun Gang, who then didn’t refuse anymore and followed Xiao Rou to the private room downstairs.

Xiao Rou turned to Jiang Guangyao with a smile: "You come too!"

Jiang Gelo nodded, pretending to fiddle with a potted plant at the railing.

When people downstairs lined up softly, Jiang Guangrong’s face instantly clouded with a fierce killing intent, heading straight to the third floor restroom. Jiang Guangrong pried open the vent cover with violence, taking out an USP handgun, Jiang Guangrong gently touched the black handgun, treated it as an adept with his old handgun, for a long time. Jiang Guangrong would cock it, stealing a glance at himself in the front. Jiang Guangyao stuffed two magazines in his pocket, placed the gun into his arms, and returned to the second floor.

At this moment Jiang Guangyao no longer hid, directly holding the handgun hidden behind a flowerpot with his right hand, coldly looking at Zuo Muyang. From this angle, Jiang Guangyao could easily monitor Zuo Yang, but from Zuo Yang’s perspective, it was hard to notice from here.

Jiang Guangyao tightly gripped the handgun with his right hand, gently placing it on his left palm, squinting as he aimed at Zuo Muyang.

Zuo Muyang was drinking with a group of people, constantly moving among the crowd, standing and sitting down to toast Jiang Guangrong causing quite a disturbance, yet Jiang Guangrong remained patient, waiting for Zuo Muyang’s guard to slip. Jiang Guangrong placed the major responsibility for Zheng Xueyun’s death on Zuo Muyang.

Gao Xiang seemed to glance unintentionally upstairs while beside Zuo Qingyun, then his mouth curled into an inexplicable smile. Gao Xiang gently spoke loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, quiet please, listen to me, you all know, a few days ago we helped Qingyun complete something, and its success depended on the boss’s leadership and Mr. Zuo’s execution, I think Mr. Zuo should say something, don’t you think so?"

"Yes, indeed!" They all nodded, and Zuo Qingyun also smiled at Zuo Muyang, seemingly agreeing.

Gao Xiang saw Zuo Qingyun was shot and killed on the right side, his mouth showing a foolish smile turned into a mournful expression, sorrowfully sighed, and cried out to Zuo Qingyun’s corpse: "Boss, boss, you can’t leave us brothers, you must avenge your boss! You must kill the assassination boss’ dog!"

The Qingyun Gang members saw both Zuo Muyang and Zuo Qingyun falling, they hurriedly fell onto Jiang Huan.

Jiang Guangrong saw he could open a cabinet with his foot in front of the counter, then he crouched behind it, slowly pushing the cabinet towards the Victory Restaurant entrance.

Gao Xiang quickly grasped Jiang Guangrong’s essence, urgently commanded: "Brothers, that bastard is trying to escape out the gate, don’t let him get away!"

The Qingyun Gang above grabbed stools on the second floor, throwing them towards Jiang Guangrong. Meanwhile, the Qingyun Gang downstairs separated a few people, rushed to the ground floor gate. With a gun in hand, Jiang Huan had no hope of breaking in.

Suddenly, Jiang Guangrong remembered the Victory Restaurant faced east and west. The west side faced a road, with the largest river, Xiang River, behind it. He could consider departing from the third or second floor eastward, opening the window and jumping into the Xiang River; there was still hope to escape.

Thinking of this, Jiang Guangrong quickly decided, throwing the cabinet covering himself towards the gate, rolled on the ground in the opposite direction and fled to the staircase.

Gao Xiang clenched his hand, shouting: "That guy is at the staircase, people upstairs and downstairs, quickly encircle him!"
