Zhang Tianba still looked unconvinced, but Feng Kun had slowly grown in confidence. Since he was the leader of a gang, Feng Kun was a wise person. Naturally, he was able to judge how advantageous Lin Huai’s scheme was upon listening to the latter’s words. He couldn’t help but thank his lucky stars in his mind; had Lin Huai not stayed on this day, they probably couldn’t have come up with these ideas.
Just then, Lin Huai said, “All right, that’s all for now. You guys may prepare the stuff and spread the false stories first. It’s 2.00PM right now; please find somewhere spacious and gather everyone at 5.00PM.”
“Okay,” replied Feng Kun. Then, he looked at Zhang Tianba and ordered, “Make the arrangements.”
“Yes, Faction Head Feng!” agreed Zhang Tianba as he stood up and left to get things done. Despite his dislike for Lin Huai, he was capable of making the arrangements.
Feng Kun then turned to look at Lin Huai before he suddenly s
Soon, it was 5.00PM; the members gathered in a disused factory as Lin Huai ordered dinner for everyone. After everyone finished their meals, Lin Huai looked at their resolute expression and gave a knowing smile. Then, he said loudly, “Everyone must have heard about this; in fact, all of you should know by now that this fight is a matter of life and death even without me telling you guys. If we win, the Rat Gang will rocket to fame. Also, you guys will command respect from now on when you all go out, and you guys will never be ridiculed by those in the underworld again for being mean people who resort to petty tricks. If you guys lose, the outcome is simple—each of you will have one of your legs broken. I’m telling you that Liu Haoran is notorious in the underworld for his mercilessness and cruelty. He will never show mercy to anyone, nor will he ever let you off even if you guys surrender in the end.”These people had previously heard of the false stories Lin Hua
Everyone else fell silent as they hesitated; even Zhang Tianba, the simpleton, came to agree with Lin Huai. He couldn’t find the words to refute him, so he put on a dissatisfied expression. Feng Kun said, “You’ve got a point, Lin Huai. Well, what do you think?”“We should just use those guys as a friendly greeting,” Lin Huai replied. “Get someone to send them back to Liu Haoran’s territory and return them politely. In fact, we must make it as grand as possible when we send them back—make sure that everyone knows about it.”“F*ck! How embarrassing it’d be for us, though,” Zhang Tianba disagreed a little reluctantly. “What if everyone thinks that we’ve chickened out?”Lin Huai returned his question with another. He said, “Do you think that it’d help to be head-on? Is your personal reputation more important than the wellbeing of the faction? Go ahead and fight Liu Haoran if you have nothing on your shoulders, but right now, yo
Lin Huai asked, “What is he suffering from?”“I don’t know. My father won’t tell me,” Feng Baihui said with a sorrowful look on her face. “I think you can tell how bad it is, though; I have a feeling that his body is getting weaker. I-I don’t even know how much time he has left…”Just then, Feng Kun returned to his seat at the table and asked them with a smile, “What are you two talking about?”Lin Huai turned to Feng Kun. “Are you ill, Uncle Feng?”Several heads turned in Feng Kun’s direction at the sound of Lin Huai’s question. In response, Feng Kun waved a hand at them. He then replied with an unwavering smile, “Oh, it’s nothing serious. My lungs are just a little compromised, but I’ve had them checked at the hospital and the doctor has prescribed me some medicine. He said that it’ll take some time to heal, so I’ll get better as long as I take good care of my health.”Lin Huai had a feeling that Feng Kun was
Geng Zhiming’s face stiffened slightly and he blurted out, “He’s not here to join the gang, Brother Hao. He’s hoping to meet The General to ask for his help—”Just then, Ma Zhenhao’s jolly expression darkened within a split second as he landed a loud slap on Geng Zhiming’s face. Immediately, Geng Zhiming clapped a hand to his stinging cheek and went quiet. Lin Huai was a little irritated at Ma Zhenhao’s reaction. Then, he said to him in a low voice, “Brother Ming’s right, Brother Hao. The main reason I came here is to see The General.”“Do you think you can meet The General just because you want to?” Ma Zhenhao scoffed. “Even those Heavenly Kings of your Tongcheng City are allowed to meet The General only if he wishes to see them, let alone you.”Since Lin Huai still needed help from Ma Zhenhao, he couldn’t risk being rude toward him; he could only play along with a laugh. “That’s why I need your help, Brother Hao. Besides,
Lin Huai and the others were taken to the police station and placed in custody right away. He said to the policemen guarding the jail, “I’d like to make a phone call, sir.”“You can’t do that right now. We’ll talk about that later.”Lin Huai argued with a frown, “I can file a complaint against you guys if you respond like this. I have the right to find an attorney, haven’t I?”The policemen guarding the jail took a glance at Lin Huai. Since Lin Huai was somewhat difficult to deal with, he replied, “Just wait a minute while I ask for instructions.”“All right!”After a while, the door to the jail was opened. Lin Huai said to the others who were locked up together with him, “You guys wait for me while I call Uncle Wei.”With the current situation, Lin Huai could only bother Wei Sihai to see if the latter had any way around this. After all, Wei Sihai had quite some influence; it wasn’t rare for a busin
Perhaps because they had learned a profound lesson, these three men didn’t dare to move again throughout the second half of the night. The next morning, the gate of the jail was opened. Upon seeing the scene in the cell, the policeman outside was stunned for a moment before he with a frosty expression and said, “The three of you may leave now.”The three men took a look at Lin Huai in awe before leaving as if they were running away.Lin Huai said, “I’ll be released soon, won’t I?”The guarding policeman glanced at Lin Huai before replying impatiently, “There haven’t been instructions from above saying that you may leave, so just wait.”After a while, breakfast was served; it was cooked noodles. After wolfing their breakfast down, the group chatted unthinkingly.Since it was really boring in jail, Lin Huai even began to teach them martial arts one by one. As an Unobservable Energy Stage fighter, Lin Huai was much
Right now, everyone firmly believed that Zhang Tianba had killed Feng Kun, but he flatly denied that. Now that it was Feng Baihui’s turn to make the decision, she only felt that her mind was in turmoil.She said, “I want to properly bury my Dad’s remains first. We’ll slowly look into this later, so stop quarreling.”However, the gentle young man suggested, “Young Lady, I suggest that we tie Zhang Tianba up first and lock him up lest he runs away.”Zhang Tianba pointed at the gentle young man and swore furiously, “Li Heng, you’re a b*stard!”A cold glint flashed across Li Heng’s eyes as he shouted, “Tie him up for me!”With that, the crowd began to swarm around Zhang Tianba. Zhang Tianba couldn’t fight against these longtime brothers of his, so he could only let everyone tie him up and take him away.Feng Baihui cried while saying, “Please leave first, you guys. Brother Lin Huai, please stay with me.
When she saw how these people pressed her into stepping down as though they had agreed upon it beforehand, Feng Baihui—whose face was pale with rage—chided, “Li Heng, my dad has just passed away, yet you’re vying for the gang’s leadership in front of his remains. Do you think it’s appropriate to do so?”Li Heng responded with a smile, “You’re wrong, Young Lady. I’m not vying for the gang’s leadership; I’m merely offering some valuable opinion. After all, no one stipulated that the Rat Gang must be led by a member of the Feng Family, right? Gangs are always led by those who are competent. Young Lady, I admit that you’re a formidable fighter; you could probably be a red cane or something like that in the future, but I think that you’d better marry someone else instead. After all, you’re a woman, so you aren’t cut out for dwelling in the underworld.”Feng Baihui retorted icily, “Whether or not I’ll marry someone is none of your business. You’re pressing
