Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! Chapter 642 - Everything Is Within The Former Golden Tooth Gang Leader's Control

Chapter 642: Everything Is Within The Former Golden Tooth Gang Leader’s Control

The more Xiong Wei listened, the more he thought that something was off.

Meng Chao’s name was appearing too many times.

Also, the people were talking up Meng Chao one after another, even completing each other’s sentences. Were they really not fibbers?

Xiong Wei was all too familiar with creating public opinion.

Just half a day ago, he hired dozens of fibbers to brazenly declare that Jin Wanhao was irresponsible and only cared about hiding to treat his wounds. He did not care about the survival of the gangs and the lair’s citizens, which was why such a major tragedy happened.

Xiong Wei could smell a scheme from a mile away.

He wanted to narrow his eyes and see the people who were fervently advocating Meng Chao.

But suddenly, a commotion rose in the area ahead of him. Song Jinbo, a group of senior Golden Tooth members, Poison Scorpion, and around eight higher-ranking members of second-cla.s.s gangs walked out together.

Xiong Wei’s heart let out a loud thump.

Song Jinbo and the senior Golden Tooth members had a b.l.o.o.d.y black gauze on their arms.

This was a symbol that an important person in a gang had pa.s.sed away.

But aside from grief and worry, there were also hints of excitement on their faces.

Meanwhile, Poison Scorpion and the eight higher-ranking members from the second-cla.s.s gangs had really strange expressions.

The gazes they cast on Xiong Wei were really unfathomable and profound.

Before Xiong Wei could think further into it, Song Jinbo arrived in front of the microphone. He cleared his throat and used a grave voice. “Everyone, thank you for protecting the lair with Golden Tooth for so many years. You’re all good friends of Golden Tooth. During these complicated and dangerous times, you responded to Golden Tooth’s call and gathered here to be a part of the committee to plan the lair’s development.

“However, before we focus on the main topic, with a grieving heart, allow me to first represent all Golden Tooth members and announce a news that everyone has been guessing for a long time. It is also one that has caused everyone to worry.

“Indeed, half a day ago, our gang leader fought against the mastermind who destroyed the lair, and during his battle against the Vortex, he perished!”

“What?!”

The moment he said those words, the crowd burst into a ruckus.

Thanks to the rumors Xiong Wei released, everyone knew that Jin Wanhao had died long ago.

Didn’t he suffer from brain death and multiple organ failure? They heard that he died in his medical cabin and left behind this major problem in the lair, but no one could take that problem into their hands.

What did he mean by saying that Jin Wanhao died in battle?

Also, he mentioned that he wanted to announce this before entering the main topic. Could it be that the main topic was not as simple as announcing Jin Wanhao’s death?

For a period of time, the gang leaders of the third-cla.s.s gangs were all dumbfounded, and they looked at each other. After all, their information network was never very up-to-date. In the end, they simultaneously cast their gazes on Xiong Wei.

He narrowed his eyes and stared at the gang leader of a third-cla.s.s gang. This person was usually very close to Black Bone and could practically be considered to be an affiliate of Black Bone.

This gang leader groaned in his heart, but he braced himself and said, “What?! Did Golden Tooth’s gang leader really die in battle?! Why did we hear that he has not been able to eat since a few months ago due to being in a coma?! He couldn’t take care of the gang affairs and, in the end, pa.s.sed away!”

“I heard about it too.” Song Jinbo’s face was calm. “But these are just rumors released by the abnormal beast. Anyone with a bit of common sense wouldn’t believe it. If anyone believed such clumsy rumors and rode the tides to spread them, they either have ulterior motives or have joined the abnormal beast’s side.”

With just one sentence, he managed to render the third-cla.s.s gang leader silent. His face turned red, and he stuttered, “I-I’d naturally not believe it. I just heard it.”

“From the moment the zombie crisis started, the gang leader of Golden Tooth has been risking his life for the lair. Up until now, he protected the lair for nearly half a century. Even if he died, he would never give up on the lair and cast it aside.”

Song Jinbo did not stop and continued his story. “It is true that since half a year ago, the gang leader has not appeared in public. He let Vice Gang Leader Red Brows Su Lun handle all the affairs in Golden Tooth and seemed to have gone underground, ignoring all affairs of the world while he focused on cultivating. That is how the traitor and abnormal beast took advantage of the situation.

“But no one knew that this was just the gang leader’s plan to lure the enemy out of its lair.”

“Lure the enemy out?” Many of the top and middle management members of the gangs were surprised.

“That’s right. With his sharp instincts and outstanding intelligence, our gang leader noticed that the abnormal beast, wanted criminals, and former Reaper Squad members had infiltrated the lair. He even noticed that there was a traitor among the gangs.”

Song Jinbo spoke while swaying his head. “The problem ws, the abnormal beast could change its shape however it wanted, and it was really cunning. The wanted criminals and former Reaper Squad members were also real humans. We couldn’t distinguish them easily, much less the traitor.

“Over the past few years, the gangs have been working happily with Red Brows Su Lun. He was the G.o.d of Wealth who brought endless cash to everyone. Before we exposed his true colors, did any of you once suspect that he said anything that would harm you?”

“That’s…”

Originally, Golden Tooth had suffered a major blow because its vice gang leader had turned traitor.

But Red Brows Su Lun was not a traditional gang leader. It would be better to say that he was a professional manager Golden Tooth hired to make the relations.h.i.+p between the gangs better, then organize as well as draw out the full potential of their shared resources.

Xiong Wei’s youngest son alone had worked plenty of times with Su Lun.

The other higher ups of the gangs also gained a lot of benefits from Su Lun.

If they really accused Golden Tooth of hiring a traitor, while Golden Tooth would have a hard time defending itself, the other gangs would also be unable to keep themselves clean. They did not have the grounds to accuse Golden Tooth for not discovering the true colors of the traitor sooner.

“In truth, our gang leader suspected a few people, including Su Lun.” Song Jinbo changed the topic then. “But Su Luin was involved in plenty of gangs’ businesses, and our leader didn’t have any concrete evidence. His suspicions alone didn’t allow him to just kill the person straightaway. If he really did that, none of you would have agreed to it, right?

“Besides, the gang leader suspected that his actions were being monitored by the abnormal beast. If he continued staying in the public eye, the abnormal beast could find a chance to use all sorts of despicable and shameless tactics to harm him. That’s why he decided to retreat and lure the enemy out.

“On the surface, he pretended to be sick and suffering from multiple organ failure, so he had to go underground and get treated in private.

“In truth, the gang leader secretly contacted the two most outstanding young adults of the Golden Era in Dragon City—Meng Chao and Lu Siya. He asked them to help him secretly investigate the truth.”

“W-What?!”

His final sentence stirred up a huge ruckus. Everyone was shocked. “Gang Leader Jin contacted Meng Chao and Lu Siya a long time ago?”

“Of course. Everything was within Gang Leader Jin’s plans. Otherwise, why do you think Meng Chao and Lu Siya would have appeared out of the blue in the lair?” Song Jinbo continued calmly.

“During the case of Blessed Paradise’s murderous pets, Meng Chao and Lu Siya entered the lair to investigate the truth. Even though they caused quite a stir, Gang Leader Jin saw their methods and valiance, and he admired these two outstanding members of the Golden Era. They remained in contact, and he provided them with guidance, so they became friends despite their age difference.

“Once he noticed that there were unidentifiable enemies in the lair, Gang Leader Jin immediately realized that he would be alerting the enemy if he relied on the gangs to investigate the truth. The enemies might also be monitoring our every move, so he had to bring in external forces, which were Meng Chao and Lu Siya.

“You all saw the results. With Gang Leader Jin’s strategy, Meng Chao and Lu Siya did manage to find the truth and discover the traitor. They destroyed all the flames that could have destroyed the lair, and all of this was within Gang Leader Jin’s plans!”

The more Song Jinbo spoke, the more ridiculous it sounded.

There were plenty of details that would expose that he was lying if anyone questioned him at all.

The people started to talk to each other and discuss things. Their voices became louder, as if they were about to turn the hall into a market.

Xiong Wei saw that the third-cla.s.s gang leaders who had been enthusiastically trying to join Black Bone’s side were starting to become fainthearted because they were intimidated by Song Jinbo.

He could only go up personally with a dark face. “Manager Song, this is a major matter. You can’t joke around with this. Since you said this, you must have concrete proof.”

“Indeed, Gang Leader Xiong. This is a serious matter. Without concrete proof, I wouldn’t have dared to spew nonsense.”

Song Jinbo smiled. Then, his face became full of grief and he let out a long sigh. “Everyone, what you saw within the past twenty-four hours was just a small part of Gang Leader Jin’s ingenious plan.

“Gang Leader Jin, Meng Chao, and Lu Siya worked together to secretly set up an ambush. Gang Leader Jin used his own life as bait and finally lured out the Vortex, who had originally wanted to run away. Then, they killed this heinous demon in Golden Tooth’s underground chamber!”

“They really killed the Vortex?”

“That’s impossible!”

“I thought that thing could disguise itself as anyone and seep through any crack. How did they manage to capture and kill it?”

The crowd was puzzled.

Xiong Wei also snorted and did not believe a word he said.

“Gang Leader Jin, Lu Siya, and Meng Chao’s achievements are absolutely true,” Song Jinbo said. “Even though the Vortex didn’t have a fixed shape and was burnt to ashes and bubbles, we still managed to gather some of its remaining tissue. We will be sending it to the abnormal beast research department for verification.

“Please believe me. This is a serious matter. Even if Golden Tooth had the courage to deceive all of you, we wouldn’t have the courage to lie to the abnormal beast research department and the Supernatural Tower, right?”

Song Jinbo spoke with certainty, and the originally skeptical crowd sank into deep thought.

The lair had suffered a major blow, and it was closely tied to the serial robberies caused by the Deification Capsules in the outside world a few days ago. Both might have come from the same mastermind, so these cases would definitely be investigated side by side.

This was not something that the lair could shut its doors and solve on its own. The secret police, abnormal beast research department, and even the higher-ranked core organizations within the Supernatural Tower would have to be involved.

Meng Chao and Lu Siya were the ace investigators of the abnormal beast research department. Without concrete evidence, they would not help Golden Tooth make such a huge lie.
