Back to the Eighties: Mountain Foraging is Also a Way of Life

Chapter 797: The Title of Overlord Commander

This chapter is machine-translated by AI, with ongoing community review. Quality may vary between chapters.

As soon as Wang Shuai finished speaking, the older man in the Zhongshan suit frowned and retorted

"How could Elder Shang's grandson possibly be a traitor? You should know that Elder Shang is a well-known 'hard bone' of Huaxia."

The younger man in the Zhongshan suit added

"Even if you, Wang Shuai, are a traitor assassin, there's no way Elder Shang's grandson could be one."

It was clear that these two knew Wang Shuai and were aware of the grievances and entanglements between him and Shang Tianbao.

Furthermore, it could be heard from their tone that they were also aware of how Wang Shuai had been framed by Shang Tianbao back then.

Hearing this, Wang Shuai was stunned for a moment, then instantly flew into a rage, immediately erupting into a torrent of abuse

"Fuck your mother, you old bastard! Who the fuck are you calling an assassin? Fuck you!"

As he spoke, Wang Shuai stepped forward quickly and delivered a powerful kick.

One must realize that Wang Shuai had undergone formal martial arts training, and his skills were far from mediocre.

Consequently, this single kick sent the middle-aged man, who looked to be around fifty, flying two or three meters back, landing him flat on the ground.

The reason why the usually composed Wang Shuai became so enraged was that the word "assassin" had directly struck a sensitive nerve.

Based on the previous conversation between Wang Shuai and Shang Tianbao, combined with the man in the Zhongshan suit calling him an assassin, it wasn't hard to judge how much of an impact that gun—searched out of Wang Shuai's bag back then—had caused him.

If Wang Shuai hadn't been completely ignorant of the situation at the time, and if it weren't as he said—that there were no fingerprints of his on the gun—and most importantly, if his family background weren't so formidable, there is a high probability that Wang Shuai would have already been reincarnated by now, or at the very least, be rotting in a cage.

Thus, it was entirely understandable why Wang Shuai became so furious over the word "assassin."

But even after kicking the middle-aged man to the ground, Wang Shuai still wasn't satisfied and continued to curse

"You dog-like piece of shit, you actually dare to talk to me like that? Do you want to die? Huh? If you want to die, just make a sound and I'll fucking grant your wish!"

While cursing, Wang Shuai rapidly kicked the fallen man in the Zhongshan suit.

With the sound of "bang bang bang bang," Wang Shuai landed many quick kicks on the middle-aged man.

Before Wang Shuai could finish venting, Sun Xianghuo and the older man in the Zhongshan suit pulled him back. Simultaneously, the older man said

"Wang Shuai, this is Elder Shang's assistant! You actually dare to lay a hand on Elder Shang's assistant? Have you gone mad?"

Sun Xianghuo also said anxiously

"Xiao Shuai, aren't you afraid that doing this will cause huge trouble for your father and the others? This is Elder Shang's man."

Although Wang Shuai was in a state of rage, he had not lost his reason. He retorted immediately

"So what if he's Elder Shang's assistant? Does being Elder Shang's assistant mean he can just grow an anus in his mouth and spout nonsense? Calling me an assassin—who did I assassinate? Who was killed by me? It's already been proven that the gun wasn't mine, yet you still dare call me an assassin. Do you really think my reputation as 'Overlord Shuai' is just a bluff?"

As he spoke, Wang Shuai tried to step forward again to give the younger man in the Zhongshan suit a few more kicks.

However, it was obvious that Wang Shuai's struggling strength had become very small; anyone with eyes could tell he was just putting on a show.

Despite Wang Shuai's obvious attitude, the older man in the Zhongshan suit and Sun Xianghuo seemed to ignore it, continuing to grip Wang Shuai's arms tightly and pull him back.

It was evident that Sun Xianghuo also knew martial arts, as he was currently using the grappling techniques commonly used by police when arresting suspects.

But of all the things he could have done, besides using the grappling hold, Sun Xianghuo actually made an attacking move, pressing down on the small of Wang Shuai's back.

Anyone with a basic understanding of martial arts knows that there is a pressure point at the base of the spine, just above the tailbone. If one can press this point with sufficient force, it can cause a person to briefly lose their combat capability.

Although it only lasts for a short moment, that brief window makes the victim's entire body go limp instantly, unable to summon any strength.

Of course, one couldn't say Sun Xianghuo did it intentionally; it might have been a subconscious reaction in the heat of the moment.

As a practitioner of martial arts, Wang Shuai naturally felt the pressure on his waist, so he instinctively twisted his hips, shifting the position away from the pressure point.

Thus, Sun Xianghuo's attack—or subconscious action—failed.

Regardless, the look in Wang Shuai's eyes toward Sun Xianghuo changed.

For someone who knows martial arts, especially in such a setting, what kind of psychological impact does it have to suddenly have one's body neutralized?

Most importantly, the person trying to neutralize Wang Shuai was someone Wang Shuai considered to be on his side.

Unfortunately, the change in Wang Shuai's gaze didn't seem to catch Sun Xianghuo's attention; more accurately, he ignored it.

Furthermore, Sun Xianghuo said with a face full of displeasure

"Xiao Shuai, aren't you just slapping Elder Shang's face? Apologize to Director Kuang immediately."

When Wang Shuai was framed, it could be said that the entire military-political circle in Bingcheng knew about it, and the vast majority of people had their own guesses about the truth of the matter.

For a "red" second-generation like Wang Shuai—with a distinguished family background and exceptional personal merit—to become a so-called "assassin" was something no one believed.

As someone in a high position, did Sun Xianghuo not understand these things?

Clearly, Sun Xianghuo definitely knew, yet at this moment, he was still helping the opposing party.

This was something Wang Shuai absolutely could not tolerate.

Thus, Wang Shuai stopped struggling, stared at Sun Xianghuo, and said

"Uncle Sun, I suggest you take early retirement. Leave some dignity for yourself, and for Xiao Nian."

Without waiting for Sun Xianghuo to react, Wang Shuai said to the two men in Zhongshan suits

"Now, all the legal procedures regarding Shang Tianbao's crimes have been completed. If you can manage a turnaround in my hands, then you're truly impressive."

"Oh, and please pass a message to Elder Shang: I admire his life achievements, but the fact that he's grown old and senile is absolutely true. It's normal to have unworthy descendants, but blindly protecting them is just being a moron. Does he really think he can cover the sky with one hand? I'm out~"

After speaking, Wang Shuai cleared his throat and spat violently on the ground.

At this moment, Wang Shuai could be said to have embodied the word "arrogant" to the absolute fullest.
