Chapter 905: Suddenly Laughing Out of Anger

Sun Nian scanned the entire scene with a gloomy expression, looking as though she were absolutely livid.

It had to be said that if Wang An hadn't acted in time to knock the muzzle of the double-barrel shotgun downward, the potential consequences would have been unimaginable.

One must realize that once shotgun pellets leave the barrel, they spread out in a fan shape, and this fan is parallel to the ground.

In other words, as long as the muzzle was level when the trigger was pulled, the vast majority of the people present would likely have been hit.

While shotgun pellets entering the body generally aren't fatal, if they happened to hit the spine, there was a high probability the person would be paralyzed from the waist down.

The "hat brothers" at the scene were all people with families and careers; they were the pillars of their respective households.

When the pillar of a home falls, it is no different from the sky collapsing.

Furthermore, as the commander-in-chief of this operation, Sun Nian would inevitably face punishment or be held accountable.

Thus, it was easy to understand why Sun Nian was so angry right now.

After the group of hat brothers stood in a stalemate with the loan sharks for a while, Sun Nian suddenly roared

"Handcuff the hands and feet of those who are still alive! Keep them under strict guard!"

As soon as Sun Nian finished speaking, some of the hat brothers kept their guns pointed at the suspects, while others put away their weapons and pulled "silver bracelets" with attached chains from their back waists.

Then, under the cover of the armed hat brothers, they slapped silver bracelets onto the hands and feet of everyone still alive.

Only then did the man who looked like the leader hurriedly shout

"Our boss is good buddies with Section Chief Huang! They were drinking together just yesterday! Have you arrested the wrong people?"

Even at this stage, he was still trying to drop names to extricate himself. This little leader had seemed quite sensible before, but looking at him now, his level of "sensibility" was indeed lacking.

Already fuming, Sun Nian's face remained puffed up with anger. Hearing this, she paused for a moment before sneering

"Section Chief Huang, is it? Hehehe... Fine. Today, I'll make sure that Section Chief Huang goes in to keep you company."

The idea that a gang of fierce bandits who dared to clash with hat brothers would be eating and drinking with a section chief—anyone hearing this would likely feel a sense of disbelief.

Mainly, wasn't this a bit too much? Is this a joke?

Seeing that mentioning Section Chief Huang wasn't working, the little leader continued to shout

"Our boss also has connections in the county! Let's talk this through; our boss definitely won't let you down. Leader, Leader, let's negotiate, shall we?"

Hearing this, Sun Nian was actually laughed into anger.

A small township loan shark team not only had very close ties with the local section chief but also had connections in the county.

It had to be admitted that for a loan shark team like this, who among ordinary people could afford to provoke them?

They had money, they had manpower, they had guns, and they even fucking had connections.

To be perfectly honest, even if Wang An were still hanging around the streets now, it would be very difficult for "big drifters" or thugs like him to deal with these people.

Although no one dared to use guns during actual turf wars, when the other side is holding a gun, the only questions are whether you dare to move and whether you're afraid.

The reason they didn't use guns on a large scale was that once that happened, the nature of the incident changed completely.

At that point, the people coming to clean up the mess wouldn't be hat brothers like Zhang Shuya, but "camouflage brothers" like Wu Dong.

Sun Nian looked at the little leader and said with a smile

"Connections in the county? Then tell me, let me see who it is. I want to see if I can afford to offend them."

Sun Nian was clearly fishing for information. After all, with Zhang Shuya's current standing, there truly wasn't anyone in the entire DJ County she couldn't afford to offend.

If one underestimated Zhang Shuya, they might want to weigh the influence her father, Zhang Siyuan, held in Ice City.

Without exaggeration, in the entire DJ County, Zhang Shuya could afford to ignore anyone's face.

After Sun Nian asked, the little leader immediately shouted

"Chief Chu! I only know that our boss calls him Chief Chu!"

Once the little leader finished, Sun Nian couldn't help but knit her pretty little eyebrows, clearly pondering who this "Chief Chu" was.

The main issue was that Sun Nian had been transferred to DJ County for a very short time and wasn't very familiar with the leaders of the various units in the county.

Moreover, it was common knowledge that anyone at the "Chief" level in the county could be considered a powerful figure.

Because even the current Zhang Shuya and the previous Sun Xianghuo were only at the "Chief" level.

However, after thinking for a long while, Sun Nian couldn't recall which leader this Chief Chu was.

Consequently, Sun Nian stopped paying attention to the little leader and told the hat brothers

"Bring the truck over. Throw all these things—living and dead—onto the truck. Leave four people on the truck to guard it; the rest of you ride these bicycles back."

There were 15 loan sharks in total this time; 5 were dead, 3 were injured, and only 7 were still intact.

Of course, whether those 7 would remain "intact" in the future was unknown.

With so many people, both dead and alive, a single large truck couldn't possibly fit everything.

Since the loan sharks had arrived on bicycles, it happened to solve the transportation problem for the hat brothers.

After Sun Nian spoke, one of the company commanders asked

"Captain Sun, what about the bicycles that won't fit on the truck?"

Hearing this, Sun Nian looked at the loan sharks, then at the bicycles, and then turned to glance at the courtyard of Li Xiuyu's second brother's house.

Then Sun Nian said

"Leave the rest for this family. Consider it compensation from these people."

It had to be said that Sun Nian was actually quite thoughtful regarding this matter.

Because at this moment, Li Xiuyu's family had nothing left. Not only did they have no money, but they were also 400 yuan in debt; most importantly, even their grain and livestock had been stolen.

To put it bluntly, this family really couldn't survive.

The company commander nodded and went to make the arrangements.

Thus, out of 15 bicycles, 7 hat brothers each rode one, 3 were loaded onto the truck, and the remaining 5 were left for Li Xiuyu's family.

As Sun Nian and the others prepared to leave, for reasons unknown, Sun Nian suddenly took 3 of the 15 confiscated double-barrel shotguns and handed them to Wang Li, saying with a chuckle

"Old Fifth, here's a chance to curry favor with your partner, hehehehe..."
