I Am King

Chapter 393 Ni Kun's sudden death

When the car arrived at a residential building in Wan Chai, Ni Kun asked the driver to go and walked into the alley under the residential building alone. He walked for about a few hundred meters and turned three corners before he arrived in front of a very dilapidated building. The building had seven floors in total and all the tenants were poor people from the bottom of Hong Kong Island.

Their landlord is Ni Kun. Ni Kun also built a small house for himself on the seventh floor, which contains several million in cash. This is considered a safe house for him.

When he reached the seventh floor, Ni Kun changed into ordinary clothes, took some cash and went downstairs.

After going downstairs, he walked a little further, about five or six hundred meters, before he came to another alley. After turning right, Ni Kun went straight into the alley. After entering, there was a warehouse. The door of the warehouse was open at this time. Many old men and women had gathered inside. When they saw Ni Kun coming in, they all greeted him.

"I have nothing to do today so I came a little early. When can we sing?"

Ni Kun responded to the greetings from his fellow actors with a smile. Looking at his smiling face, who would have thought that he was a drug lord?

"A-Kun, why are you in such a good mood today?"

"Yeah, I don't know why my throat feels itchy today, so I just want to sing a few lines to satisfy my craving."

"Is that so?... Then I'll call them up now. Go put on your makeup first, and then you can sing. But there may not be many people listening to the opera right now."

After hearing what Ni Kun said and seeing his expression, the old man who was talking to Ni Kun thought about it for a moment and decided to meet the request of this big money sponsor. After all, among all of them, Ni Kun paid the most money, so it was only natural to let him cut in line occasionally to satisfy his desire.

The old man was responsible for playing the erhu in the troupe. After agreeing to Ni Kun's request, he did not hesitate and immediately began to greet several other old men and women who played musical instruments.

"Ah Kun, what are you going to sing?"

Everyone was nearby, so the old man just shouted and several old men came over. Only then did the old man remember that he had forgotten to ask Ni Kun what he wanted to sing.

"…Just sing…Lion Tower."

Ni Kun, who was almost reaching the dressing room, thought for a moment, reported the name of the play without turning his head, and walked straight into the dressing room.

What Ni Kun didn't know was that just after he walked into the dressing room, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties in the corner of the hall immediately stood up and walked out of the warehouse.

After coming out, he started to jog. It took him less than a minute to run into another alley. He found a public telephone booth in the middle of the alley. The middle-aged man walked in, took out a piece of paper with a phone number written on it, and started to dial the number on it.

"…A Kun, the one you asked me to pay attention to, just came over. He will be on stage to sing (Lion House) soon."

"Okay, I understand. The money I promised you will be deposited into your account."

A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone. Because of the phone call, I couldn't tell her age, but judging from her voice, she should be quite old. She didn't have the crispness of a little girl, but rather a very steady voice.

"Okay...thank you then."

Hearing that the other party would transfer the money as agreed, the middle-aged man showed a hint of joy on his face and thanked repeatedly.

However, there was no response as the call was hung up.

Soon, about a quarter of an hour later, when Ni Kun came out of the dressing room again, he had already put on his makeup and costumes, and the old men's instruments were all set up. As Ni Kun walked onto the stage in the middle of the warehouse and stood there, the prelude sounded;

【Moth】

He colluded with Wang Po and Ba Jinlian and killed Wu Da in bed.

Wu Er returned to Yanggu County, feeling terrified and uneasy.

Ximen Qing, you son of a bitch, you spent money to bribe the government officials.

I went to the court and was beaten with forty sticks without any investigation.

My brother's injustice will never be avenged.

...............................

As time passed, after the song was finished, Ni Kun suddenly felt refreshed and had a plan on how to deal with Qin Feng. However, he still felt unsatisfied, so he turned to look at the old man who had come in and talked to him before;

"Lao Zhou, you feel really good today. Sing another verse."

"No problem, you rap about anything."

The old man named Lao Zhou fiddled with the erhu in his hand and agreed readily.

"Just sing (刺梁)"

"no problem."

As he spoke, Lao Zhou called a few people around him. After a while, the accompaniment sounded again, and Ni Kun stood still again, ready to sing.

At this moment, a man in black clothes, a black hat and a black mask on his face walked in from the warehouse door. Because his whole body was wrapped up, his appearance could not be seen clearly and it was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman. The man in black walked directly to a place about ten meters away from the stage and stood still. Then, before anyone could react, he quickly pulled out a gun from his arms and fired four or five shots at Ni Kun on the stage. Then he put the gun away, turned around, and ran out quickly.

“Kill… kill someone…!!”

It was not until this time that everyone reacted. Suddenly, shouts and screams filled the entire warehouse, and then the crowd began to rush towards the door.

As for Ni Kun, he fell straight on the stage. Who had time to care about him at this time?

Who knows if the man in black will come back to attack us again?

Perhaps the only one among all people who knew something about the situation was the middle-aged man who was on the phone in the corner before. He probably guessed something about the situation, but now he couldn't care less and followed the crowd to run out of the warehouse.

It was not until everyone ran out that someone reacted and called the police. After waiting for almost ten minutes, the police finally arrived. There was almost no one at the scene and no clues, so the police immediately called for support and took the victim to the police station first. They would talk about other things after confirming the identity...
