Chapter 108 Big Fish Small Fish
Chapter 108 Big Fish Small Fish
The people who suddenly poured into the funeral hall were roughly divided into two groups, all of them young people. One group all wore the same pink suits and pink leather shoes, while the other group all wore red suits and red leather shoes.
Just by looking at the colors of the clothes these guys are wearing, you can understand why it was so noisy outside just now. There is a funeral going on here, and Liu Taimin is not too old to be a part of a happy funeral. Therefore, these people who barged in wearing such "dazzling" clothes were obviously not here to offer condolences, but to cause trouble.
What made An Rusong even more dumbfounded was that the leaders of the two groups were the brothers Zhao Jingsheng and Zhao Chenghao. Zhao Jingsheng was dressed in red, while Zhao Chenghao was dressed in pink, and they each led a group of people.
When Zhao Chenghao walked into the mourning hall, he was wearing headphones on his ears, squinting his eyes, pretending to be addicted to music, bending his waist and walking in unknown dance steps, and turning in circles from time to time. He looked like a scoundrel at first glance, not a good person.
“Zhao Jingsheng!” Seeing this group of people rushing in, Liu Taihe, who was kneeling beside the spiritual platform, became furious. He suddenly stood up from the mat, rushed to the front of Zhao Jingsheng and his brother, and shouted loudly, “What are you doing?!”
"For the old immortal," Zhao Chenghao said first.
He only said half of his words before he suddenly stopped. Then, he patted his mouth with his hand and said, "I'm sorry. The dead are the greatest. I said the wrong thing. We should burn some incense for this old guy who has already died to express our happiness as brothers."
He paused, glanced at Liu Taihe and said, "Since you are open to the public for the funeral, don't stop people from coming to pay their respects. If you don't want others to pay their respects, then don't hold the funeral. Just burn the body and scatter the ashes. How much less trouble would that be?"
"Zhao Chenghao, I think you want to die!" Liu Taihe became even more angry. He reached out to grab Zhao Chenghao's collar, but was stopped by the people around him.
People like Zhao Jingsheng and Zhao Chenghao are not good people at first glance. This is Liu Taimin's funeral hall. Regardless of whether the Liu family can provoke these people or not, they cannot conflict with them on the current matter, otherwise they will inevitably be laughed at.
To put it bluntly, the Zhao Jingsheng brothers came here to cause trouble, so they were naturally not afraid of being laughed at by others. However, the Liu family was holding a funeral, so they were naturally more cautious.
The worst thing is that there is no way to call the police for this kind of thing. Even if you call the police, it will be difficult for them to handle the matter. After all, the person is just dressed inappropriately and he didn't do anything to smash or rob.
Liu Taihe, whose eyes were about to burst into flames, was stopped and pulled away by the people around him, and the conflict did not break out. Some people who wanted to watch the fun felt it was a pity.
Most people in this world hate the rich, and the rich often don't get along with each other. To be honest, among those who came to pay their respects today, it would be great if there were only half who truly felt regret and sadness over Liu Taimin's death. Most of them probably hoped to see a lively scene.
Seeing Liu Taihe being pulled away, Zhao Jingsheng and his brother did not say much. They followed the etiquette, burned incense in front of Liu Taimin's spirit, and then led people away. An Rusong found that these two guys did not even give condolence money, just came empty-handed and left empty-handed.
After the two Zhao brothers left and seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, An Rushong got up and left. He had no interest in staying for a drink. After all, he and Liu Taihe were not the same kind of people at all.
After coming out of the mourning hall, An Rushong walked down the ridge along the road from Xialing to Duncun Cave 1. The place where he parked his car was about a hundred meters away from where the Liu family set up the mourning hall.
Perhaps because of the trouble caused by the Zhao brothers, there were fewer vehicles on the road and fewer people coming to pay their respects. After all, the Zhao brothers were not good people at first glance, so those who didn't want to cause trouble naturally left early.
Of course, this is also related to the current situation of the Liu family.
In the past, no matter how unwilling the Zhao Jingsheng brothers were, they never dared to be too presumptuous in front of Liu Taihe. Otherwise, when Huixiu died, Zhao Jingsheng would probably have skinned Liu Taihe alive.
And now, with the Liu family's backstabbing of Councillor Kong, the two sides no longer belong to the same camp. The Zhao brothers naturally no longer need to be afraid of Liu Taihe. On the contrary, the more they provoke Liu Taihe, the more points they can gain from Councillor Kong.
Why not do something that kills two birds with one stone? If it were An Rusong, he would do the same.
I kept walking along the downhill road. When I was about thirty meters away from where I parked my car, I saw a black Honda sedan slowly driving towards me from the direction of Duncun 1-dong.
When the car passed by, An Rushong did not pay attention to it. After all, there were many cars coming and going here, some passing by and some coming specifically to attend the condolence ceremony.
However, just as the car passed by him, An Rushong felt as if he saw something. He followed the car and happened to see from the rear window that a person in the back seat was putting a hood on his head.
It was a black hood, probably the kind that could cover the face.
An Rusong had an inexplicable hunch that there must be something fishy about the people in this car. They must have come for the funeral that was being held, or more precisely, for Liu Taihe. Could they be desperate criminals from the Philippines? They were really not to be trifled with!
Although he thought of Han Meiyan who was in the mourning hall, An Rusong still had no intention of going back. He didn't want to risk his life. If the person who came was really a desperate criminal from the Philippines, he would not be able to help even if he rushed over, and he would end up getting himself involved.
Therefore, there is an old Chinese saying: He who knows the times is a hero, and running away is the best strategy.
Without having time to think too much, An Rushong quickened his pace and rushed to where he parked his car.
Just as he got into the car, a muffled "bang bang" sound suddenly came from the direction of the mourning hall a hundred meters away. Although he couldn't hear it clearly, An Rushong could still tell that it was gunshots.
At the same time, accompanied by gunshots, exclamations and screams, An Rusong, sitting in the car, looked towards the mourning hall and saw people running out of the mourning hall like frightened mad cows. Some people ran towards him, while others climbed up the hillsides on both sides of the road. The chaos was indescribable.
An Rushong had already started the car and was thinking of driving away, but when he saw the chaotic scene, he gave up the idea of driving away and chose to hide in the car and watch the situation develop.
The sound of gunshots rang out more than a dozen times in the mourning hall, and all the people inside and outside the hall ran away, but those people wearing masks never appeared again.
An Rushong sat in the car, looking nervously in the direction of the mourning hall. After about half a minute, two young men wearing black suits and holding guns ran out of the mourning hall.
The two young men were obviously wearing in-ear walkie-talkies. They looked around outside the mourning hall for a while, and then put one hand on their ears, as if they were talking to someone.
Then, the two young men raised their guns and walked cautiously towards the black Honda, apparently to check the situation in the car.
Seeing this scene, An Rusong's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. If nothing unexpected happened, Liu Taihe should have been prepared for this kind of assassination. These young men in black suits and armed with guns were probably his hired bodyguards.
No, as soon as this thought flashed through his mind, An Rushong dismissed it.
The gun ban in South Korea is still very strict. Although general security companies also provide bodyguard services, these bodyguards are also not allowed to carry guns. In a situation like today, if Liu Taihe's bodyguard had a gun, he himself would also be in trouble.
In other words, these young men with guns are most likely not bodyguards, but rather criminal police or something like that.
This possibility is very high. During this period of time, first Liu Tai and himself were shot, and then his father was hit and killed. So many things happened to him, and it is really possible that he could apply for protection from the police.
If this is the case, then there is a conclusion that can be drawn, namely: Liu Taihe did not suspect Councillor Kong of his father's death, nor did he suspect his sister-in-law Han Meiyan. The people he really suspected were probably those desperate criminals who came from the Philippines.
After realizing this, a mocking smile flashed across An Rushong's face - the reason why Han Meiyan dared to be so bold and directly hired someone to kill her father-in-law was probably because she saw this point.
Come to think of it, it is indeed the case. Liu Taimin was killed at this critical moment. The first person the Liu family would suspect would naturally be the person from the Philippines, followed by Councillor Kong, and finally someone else. As for Han Mi-yeon, she is probably not included in the list of suspects.
Shaking his head, An Rushong no longer worried about Han Miyan's safety. He started the car again, slowly merged into the departing traffic, and headed straight towards Duncun 1-dong.
If we put aside personal grudges and only consider the issue from the perspective of an observer, neither the Damushan Group nor the Liu family behind the group actually did anything wrong in the political struggle involving Councillor Kong.
All the Liu family wants is to survive. Faced with Jin Yudong's report, the people of Councillor Kong's lineage are in a completely passive position and can hardly protect themselves. The Damushan Group, which is under tremendous pressure, what choice can it make except to change its course?
That's right, they had no other choice. Therefore, the reason why the Damushan Group and the Liu family ended up in such a situation today was not because of any other reason, but because they were too weak.
Because they are weak, they cannot control their own destiny, just like Huixiu, the girl who died on the eaves.
