731: Chapter 723: Want to Die 731: Chapter 723: Want to Die The streets were a complete mess.
Apart from the corpses scattered all over the ground, there were several rifles, mostly of the AK series.
Despite this, security in Pointe Noire was relatively good compared to other parts of Africa, where finding a large number of AKs was not difficult at all.
After Eileen punched the person startled by Li Jinfang, Gao Yang hurriedly said to Eileen and Rafael, who were about to pick up the guns on the ground, “Don’t pick up the guns.
We can’t afford to be chased by the police too.
Find a car quickly, and let’s chase them!”
In Pointe Noire, Gao Yang and his team couldn’t rely on any connections.
Many onlookers were watching them, and their foreign appearances were too conspicuous.
Getting the police’s attention by picking up guns would be troublesome unless it was absolutely necessary to open fire.
Gao would rather buy guns than pick up some broken, possibly unloaded weapons at a crime scene under the watchful eyes of the public.
Even attracting police suspicion wouldn’t matter much, but being caught with evidence would be a different story.
They just missed Li Jinfang by a step and one could only imagine Gao Yang’s frustration.
Rafael heard Gao Yang and immediately went to find a car.
As he ran off, he noticed a pickup truck nearby with its door wide open.
After a glance inside, Rafael called out loudly, “Boss, come look at this.”
Gao Yang peered into the vehicle indicated by Rafael.
It was riddled with bullet holes, and a black man was tied up with several bullet wounds, already dead in the passenger seat.
After just a glance, Gao Yang quickly ran off.
His instincts told him that this man had been brought by Li Jinfang.
The three ran in the direction Li Jinfang had driven off.
As Li Jinfang had escaped by car, even if they hijacked a vehicle now, they were already too late to catch up, so they proceeded with more caution.
After running a good distance, Rafael, who was leading, finally stopped a taxi.
Once Gao Yang and Eileen were also in the car, although the taxi drove towards the direction Li Jinfang had left, everyone in the car knew they couldn’t catch up to him now.
Once the car started, Eileen spoke a few words with the taxi driver but then turned to look at Gao Yang with a helpless expression, “Where do we go now?”
Gao Yang felt a surge of frustration rush to his head.
How was he supposed to know where they should go now?
“Damn this bastard, if I see him, I swear I’ll bash out all the bullshit Toad has crammed in his skull—this idiot, all he has inside his head is bullshit!
Bullshit!”
After furiously cursing twice, Gao Yang sighed and said, “Let’s contact Big Dog and Fork, and tell Big Dog we just missed Toad.”
After muttering angrily, Gao Yang still couldn’t suppress the rage bubbling inside him and snapped, “F**k, Toad, this brainless idiot, if it weren’t for, if it weren’t for, f**k, if it weren’t for Toad I wouldn’t bother dealing with this clueless fool, who’s lived like a dog for years, bloody dog temper!
Gets all riled up over nothing!”
Gao Yang was truly infuriated, but despite the curses, his tension didn’t ease one bit.
Li Jinfang was digging his own grave, but he couldn’t just let him continue down this path.
Seeing how extremely angry Gao Yang was, Eileen whispered, “Boss, maybe Toad really was too angry to control himself.”
Gao Yang growled, “After all these years as a soldier, fighting so many battles and still not being able to stay calm when facing issues, what use is his age if not wasted on a dog’s life!
If he wants revenge, he should find the enemy and wipe them out!
What’s the use of killing recklessly?
What’s the use?
Such a temper, constantly messing up, he still hasn’t learned, regardless of whatever the problem is, you watch, when I see him, I’m going to beat his brains out!”
As anger clouded his judgment, Gao Yang then pulled out his phone to call Little Donnie.
Once Little Donnie picked up, Gao Yang urgently said, “Where are you now?”
Little Donnie replied anxiously, “I haven’t reached Congo-Brazzaville yet.
I can’t airlift firearms to Pointe Noire.
I’ve reached Angola, and now I have to take a small plane to Congo-Kinshasa, then smuggle the firearms to Pointe Noire by boat.
The route is reliable, but it just needs a bit more time.
I should arrive tonight.”
Gao Yang replied irritably, “Make it quick, as fast as possible.
The faster, the better.
Toad’s screw-ups are just piling up, and we might have to fight our way out of Pointe Noire soon.
You’d better arrange an evacuation route in case we end up with nowhere to run.”
Little Donnie, sounding tense, asked, “What happened?
Did something happen to Toad?”
Gao Yang replied gruffly, “Toad has turned into a crime-fighting avenger, striking down criminals all over Pointe Noire, and he’s already wiped out four gangs, killing dozens.”
After grumbling, Gao Yang then called Li Pengfei, and fortunately, the call connected immediately.
“Brother Yang!
I’m in Kenya, heading to Congo-Brazzaville.
My flight’s about to take off soon, and in a few hours I’ll be there.
What’s up, any news on your end?”
“Got some good news and bad news.
Which do you want to hear first?”
Li Pengfei exclaimed anxiously, “At this point, why are you playing coy?
Just spit it out.”
“Good news, the bastard Toad isn’t dead, he’s quite alive, couldn’t be better, actually.
The bad news, Toad’s living too well and seems to have a death wish.
He’s all around the world looking for people to slaughter.
Pointe Noire is almost turned upside down by him.
Dozens of people are already dead, and I see him continuing to kill.
Let me put it this way, whatever you’re thinking of doing in Pointe Noire, you might as well forget about it and think about cleaning up his mess.”
After hearing what Gao Yang had said, Li Pengfei was also stunned and asked, “What, what do you mean?”
Gao Yang replied annoyed, “What’s going on with your people in Pointe Noire?
Useless, they can’t even sniff out some news, always reporting false military intelligence.
Let me put it this way, a Chinese girl died in Pointe Noire, and it’s definitely greatly related to Toad.
After that girl died, Toad went crazy.
He killed over a dozen people last night, and today was even more fierce.
Up till now, he’s already fought with three local gangs, at least forty or fifty people have died.”
“Damn it, fuck!
His Bear temper has flared up again.
What the hell!
He can go on a killing spree and doesn’t think to make a phone call?
Hasn’t he contacted you?”
Gao Yang huffed, “What did I tell you?
That scumbag isn’t good for anything.
Hopping around and doesn’t think to make a call, just fights on his own.”
“This is bad!
Really bad!
Brother Yang, find him fast!
This really is bad; he’s seeking death!”
Listening to Li Pengfei, Gao Yang replied gruffly, “No shit, isn’t his racket just asking for death?
No, wait, what do you mean?”
Li Pengfei said urgently, “He’s seeking death, really seeking death!
This isn’t just his Bear temper messing up his brain.
I know Toad’s temper; he’s explosive and acts recklessly when his Bear temper flares.
But he’s usually meticulous in his actions.
Have you ever seen him make a stupid decision because he was angry?
I guarantee he now wants to die, doesn’t care about anything, just wants to spectacularly take a bunch of people with him!”
Despite the hot weather and the hot interior of the taxi, Gao Yang broke out in a cold sweat.
He realized he had been solely focused on his anger but had overlooked a very important point — Li Jinfang was quick-tempered but never foolish.
What Li Jinfang was doing now was more than foolish.
If Li Jinfang wasn’t a foolish person, yet was acting foolishly, then there was only one possibility: he was self-destructing, or rather, committing a violent form of suicide.
Awakened by Li Pengfei’s words, Gao Yang’s voice changed.
He thought he might have made a mistake in judgment.
Li Jinfang was capable of energetically killing people, but that didn’t mean he was in a good situation.
Gao Yang swallowed hard and said gravely, “I’m looking for him.
I will find him.
He wants to die but won’t be able to!”
Li Pengfei spoke in a helpless tone, “Brother Yang, I’m afraid Toad might just shoot himself in the head.
He, this guy, goes to extremes too easily.”
After Gao Yang got the phone number of the person who had come to Pointe Noire with Li Jinfang, he ended the call with Li Pengfei and then fell into deep thought.
Undoubtedly, the root of the problem was the dead girl.
Gao Yang couldn’t understand how Li Jinfang, who had only been in Pointe Noire for a short time, including today only the ninth day, could be so desperate over a girl to the point of death.
The most reasonable explanation was that Li Jinfang and the deceased girl were in love, but even if they had been together from the first day, only a mere eight days in total, how could it have driven Li Jinfang to the point of wanting to die?
Without needing to think too deeply, Gao Yang knew he might have overlooked something very important from the beginning; he should first check into the girl’s background.
Gao Yang found Glolov and the others; they were sitting at a small restaurant heading towards the dock by the seaside.
Upon seeing Pascal, Gao Yang immediately said to Pascal without bothering to talk to Glolov and the others, “Do me a favor, ask about the specifics of the girl who died yesterday.
The police should have it, or even if not, they would be able to find out.
Help me ask them now.”
Pascal made a phone call and within a few minutes turned to Gao Yang and said, “The police indeed have the information about the girl.
Her name is Lisa.
She’s from Huaxia.
What province was it on her passport?
Oh, her family left detailed information at the police station.
You can see for yourself.”
Gao Yang took Pascal’s phone.
There was a text message in French on it, which Gao Yang passed to Eileen.
Eileen straightforwardly translated it into Chinese: “Her English name is Lisa, her Chinese surname is Zhou, and she’s from Woniu City in Ji Province of Huaxia.”
After hearing Eileen’s translation, Gao Yang looked up at the sky, his voice weak as he sighed, “This girl, from the same place as Toad, can’t be mistaken.
Guys, do you think they might have known each other before?” (To be continued.
