Chapter 417 Bloodthirsty Madness

the next day.

A burst of gunfire shattered the silence downstairs at the Tianhe Trading Company in the British Concession.

When the gunfire stopped and the fleeing pedestrians scattered, the employees of Tianhe Trading Company looked up in bewilderment and helplessness.

"What about people?"

"have they gone?"

Beside the old bicycle lying on the ground, a middle-aged man in his thirties who was already balding carefully raised his head.

He looked around.

They wanted to find the criminal who dared to openly shoot and commit violence in the street, but looking around, there was no sign of him anywhere.

Only a short distance ahead on the road lay the corpses of two Zhou family guards.

They had bullet holes in their chests and heads.

Blood and brain matter, red and white mixed together, had already spread.

"Mom!"

"Killed!"

"Murder...!"

The balding man in his thirties screamed pitifully as he scrambled to his feet and made to run toward the company building not far ahead.

But after running a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

It seems he has thought of something.

He then slowly turned around, glanced at the ground, and then collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Where are Madam and Young Master?"

"Kidnapping!"

As his piercing screams and cries rang out, the employees of Tianhe Trading Company, who had been hiding inside the building during a gunfight, cautiously came out.

Upon hearing the bald middle-aged man's shouts again, several of the more astute individuals immediately changed their expressions.

Without hesitation, they turned around and immediately ran towards the stairwell.

A few minutes later.

A middle-aged man in his fifties, who still had a somewhat refined air about him, hurriedly ran over, protected by a group of guards.

"What about people?"

"Where are my wife and son?" "Damn it, find them right now and bring them back!"

……

Japanese Concession.

Fuyuan Trading Company.

A sudden phone call interrupted the conversation of everyone in the meeting.

At the desk, a man in his thirties frowned.

He turned around and picked up the telephone on the table.

Before the person on the phone could even speak, the man in his thirties opened his mouth and roared loudly.

"idiot!"

“I have already given the order that you must intercept any phone calls from anyone during my meetings.”

Have you forgotten my orders?

The middle-aged man roared angrily, and the business company employees in the room all lowered their heads.

It's clear that the middle-aged man wields considerable influence within this trading company.

"President...President."

"Listen to me..."

"Shut up! You disobeyed my orders, you're fired."

"Right now, immediately, tell me what you're doing, and get out of here!"

The middle-aged man slammed down the phone, and the moment he turned around, a smile returned to his face.

"Let's continue..."

"Dong dong dong dong!"

Then another series of urgent knocks sounded on the door.

Inside the room, the trading company employees who had just raised their heads to report to him lowered their heads again like lambs.

"idiot."

The smile on the face of the man in his thirties vanished instantly. He gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.

"Get in!"

"You'd better give me a good reason, or I'll make you pay the price."

As the beautiful secretary pushed open the door and walked in, the man in his thirties gritted his teeth and roared, like a bloodthirsty jackal.

His entire being exuded a bloodthirsty and violent aura.

"I'm sorry, President."

"We just received news that a group of armed thugs broke into your home just a few minutes ago."

"It is said that they shot and killed the guards in your house, kidnapped your wife and children, and... and also detonated your house." "President, your father, mother, aunt and younger aunt all died in the explosion..."

The beautiful secretary looked panicked. After entering the room, she immediately bowed deeply to the middle-aged man and then hurriedly recounted the information she had just obtained.

As soon as she finished speaking, the few trading company employees who had been quietly sitting in the background like lambs immediately raised their heads.

Their faces showed shock.

One or two people among them secretly glanced at the middle-aged man.

A hint of cunning and ruthlessness also subtly emanated from his eyes and brows.

"Nani?"

"How could...how could this happen?"

The middle-aged man's body trembled violently, and his body, which was less than 1.6 meters tall, fell directly to the ground.

After a while.

With the help of his beautiful secretary, the middle-aged man slowly stood up, then turned and picked up the phone on the table.

"Get me the military police."

"I am Fuyuan Stinky Feet. My home has been attacked by unknown bandits. I request the protection and support of the Empire."

"Nani?"

"What did you say?"

"The family of the Minister of Dung has also been kidnapped?"

"Your people have all been sent out to rescue his wife, children, and elderly parents, so what am I supposed to do?"

"You despicable people! You expect me, a businessman, to try and rescue my wife, children, and elderly parents? This is irresponsible of you! I'm going to complain to the ambassador!"

The middle-aged man in his thirties cursed a few times before finally hanging up the phone indignantly.

His face had turned as pale as paper.

Where was the bloodlust and madness from a moment ago?

His fingers trembled as he started shaking the telephone number again.

"Is it the embassy?"

"I am Fuyuan Stinky Feet from Fuyuan Trading Company. My home was attacked by thugs, my wife and children were kidnapped, and my parents were killed. I demand..."

"asshole."

"The embassy has received a bomb threat, and you're not concerned about the safety of the Imperial citizens?"

"Damn it...damn it!"

The middle-aged man roared angrily, and the telephone he was holding fell to the ground without him even noticing.

Meanwhile, in various parts of the British, French, Japanese, and International Settlements.

News of kidnappings of high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen, and the families of powerful figures has been constantly emerging.

The highest-ranking among them were the Japanese Minister, who had just arrived in Shanghai from Japan to carry out an investigation, and the family members of a Western director of the British Concession's Municipal Council.

In addition to these, several embassies in the British Concession, French Concession, Japanese Concession, and International Settlement also received bomb threats by phone.

For a time, people panic.

Just as everyone was in an uproar, unable to distinguish whether the information was true or false, a loud rumble suddenly echoed from the Black Dragon Society's trading company in the Japanese concession.

After the explosion, flames rose.

As the surrounding shopkeepers and employees struggled to extinguish the flames using primitive methods, the corpses of more than a dozen Black Dragon Society members were revealed before everyone's eyes. Then another gunshot rang out.

The newly appointed head of the Special Higher Police Section, Mieko Sakai, had just set off from the Japanese concession military police station to the embassy to investigate the situation when she was shot in the abdomen and immediately fell unconscious. She was then taken to the hospital...
