Evil Wolf Gang.
Gang Leader Gou Ying woke up early, inspected around the gang, found nothing unusual, and then returned ho.
The death of Li Tao caused such a commotion, he didn’t sleep well last night.
The servants had already prepared breakfast.
Gou Ying took out the silver needle he carried with him and tested each dish. Seeing no changes, he felt relaxed enough to eat.
Recently, he vaguely sensed an impending storm in Changze County, becoming extrely cautious, careful with every move.
Whenever he went out, he was always accompanied by at least dozens of people openly.
Many gang mbers hid in the shadows, observing, afraid that sothing unexpected might happen.
Old Chai, Li Tao’s death was like losing his right-hand man. He absolutely didn’t believe it was a coincidence!
The Evil Wolf Gang must be under surveillance!
His wife and Gou Dai watched Gou Ying’s gloomy expression, not daring to speak, silently eating.
He had barely eaten a few bites when Steward Liu hurriedly ran in from outside.
"What happened again?"
Seeing this, Gou Ying’s heart sank.
Steward Liu swallowed his words before saying, "Four people from the Black Water Gang died last night!"
"What?"
Gou Ying paused.
He initially thought it was trouble for the Evil Wolf Gang, not expecting deaths in the Black Water Gang instead.
Gou Ying quickly asked, "Who died?"
"Not clear."
Steward Liu said, "By the ti I got there, the Black Water Gang mbers had already taken the bodies away. Allegedly, it caused quite a stir, and the three Chief Constables went over."
"But the Black Water Gang said they don’t need the governnt office to intervene."
Gou Ying couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this and said, "It’s true, the tables have turned! Didn’t expect the Black Water Gang would have such a day! Good riddance—it’s rare to hear good news these days!"
"Congratulations, Dad, our Evil Wolf Gang is turning around!"
Gou Dai quickly congratulated with a laugh.
Steward Liu, worried, hesitated and said, "Gang Leader, this matter might not be good for our Evil Wolf Gang."
"How so?"
Gou Ying frowned in inquiry.
Steward Liu said, "The night before, Protector Li just died. Afterward, four people from the Black Water Gang died. It’s easy for outsiders to think that it was done by our Evil Wolf Gang."
"Nonsense!"
Gou Ying cursed, "The gang brothers didn’t go out last night, how could it be us!"
Steward Liu said, "It’s no use us saying so—people will inevitably speculate, especially the Black Water Gang."
"Gang Leader, first we guessed the Black Water Gang was behind Protector Li’s death. Now the Black Water Gang lost people—they might have the sa thoughts."
Gou Ying sneered, "I stand righteous and won’t fear shadows—it’s not our Evil Wolf Gang’s doing, they can think however they want!"
"Gou Ying, what good deed did you do!"
At that mont, an official stord in angrily from outside, shouting before even entering the room.
Everyone turned to see it was Changze County’s ng Liangyu, Chief ng.
Cui Zhao and Yan Ji, the two older Chief Constables, compared to the young and promising Chief ng who ca six months ago, were frequently courted by the Evil Wolf Gang.
Seeing Gou Ying eating, ng Liangyu was infuriated and said, "I’ve warned you many tis to restrain yourself and not provoke the Black Water Gang. Did you ignore my words?"
Hearing ng Liangyu, Gou Ying’s anger flared.
The Evil Wolf Gang and the Chief Constables, County Magistrate, and County Magistrate’s office have ongoing interests.
They are all old acquaintances.
But this matter wasn’t done by Gou Ying at all, yet ng Liangyu indiscriminately accuses him, who wouldn’t be furious?
Gou Ying stood up abruptly, teeth clenched, "Chief ng, better get your facts straight before accusing, don’t slander good people!"
"Haha!"
ng Liangyu sneered incredulously, "You consider yourself a good person?"
Gou Ying was speechless montarily, his face alternating between red and white due to ng’s taunts.
ng Liangyu continued rebuking, "If you did it, make sure to clean up your traces—it wouldn’t matter. But you were seen by so many people! Your Evil Wolf Gang’s knife ended up on their turf."
Upon hearing this, both Gou Ying and Steward Liu frowned deeply.
Sothing’s not right!
"Wait a mont!"
Gou Ying asked, "I slept in the gang last night—I didn’t go anywhere. Who saw ?"
Steward Liu quickly added, "Chief ng, my master truly didn’t leave last night, neither did the gang brothers. No one left at all."
ng Liangyu said, "Residents on both sides of the alley woke up from the sound of fighting, hearing soone ntion ’Gang Leader’. Is there a second Gang Leader in Changze County?"
"Just calling ’Gang Leader’ ans it’s ?"
Gou Ying asked, "Who saw ? Bring them over, we’ll confront them face to face!"
ng Liangyu said, "It was too dark at the ti, the surrounding residents couldn’t see the faces, just so silhouettes, seed to have masks."
After deliberating, ng Liangyu stared at Gou Ying, "You truly didn’t leave last night?"
"If I stepped out of the gang even half a step last night, I swear I’ll die horribly, heaven strike down!"
Gou Ying swore vehently.
ng Liangyu rotated a bamboo skewer, "So, soone else killed the Black Water Gang mbers and deliberately blad you?"
"Definitely!"
Steward Liu nodded repeatedly, "Chief ng, this sche is diabolical, seemingly intended to incite a clash between the Black Water and Evil Wolf Gangs!"
Bang!
Gou Ying slapped the table hard, "If I find out who it is, I’ll make them wish they were dead!"
"Who could it be?"
ng Liangyu pretended to ponder, muttering to himself.
"Could it be the Plum Blossom Martial Arts Hall?"
Steward Liu suggested, "One, i Nianzhi has the ans; two, if Black Water Gang and Evil Wolf Gang end up badly injured, the Plum Blossom Martial Arts Hall would beco dominant in Changze County."
"Ha ha."
ng Liangyu glanced at Steward Liu, sneered, "Plum Blossom Martial Arts Hall is different. They conduct legitimate business and don’t grab territory or oppress residents. What’s the point of being dominant?"
Steward Liu gave an awkward chuckle.
Gou Ying said, "Chief ng, as long as you believe in us, this matter is manageable."
"Not manageable."
ng Liangyu shook his head, "My belief doesn’t count, it’s up to the Black Water Gang to believe. You know their ruthless thods—quick to revenge. They won’t let this matter rest easily."
"Whose were the dead?" Gou Ying asked.
"Not clear, the Black Water Gang keeps it secret, not revealing identities. But undoubtedly, they’re from their clan—no outsiders in Black Water Gang."
ng Liangyu said, "This is major. Did you notice Chief Yan and Chief Cui avoiding involvent? It’s with my moral compass, valuing loyalty, coming to inform you."
Gou Ying looked grim.
Could Yan Ji and Cui Zhao have sensed sothing early and decided to abandon the Evil Wolf Gang?
Gou Ying pondered for a while before saying, "Chief ng, you must diate for us, find a way to clear misunderstandings."
"Let’s see."
ng Liangyu said indifferently, "I’m unfamiliar with Black Water Gang’s Squad Leader here, eting them will take effort."
Gou Ying recognized the implication in ng Liangyu’s words, suppressing his anger, gesturing for Steward Liu to fetch silver, said, "Rest assured, Chief ng, I won’t let brothers work in vain."
This has nothing to do with the Evil Wolf Gang, yet he’s forced to spend huge sums!
Gou Ying even suspected ng Liangyu already knew this wasn’t their doing.
He’s just here to extort!
Soon, Steward Liu brought two servants carrying silver, covered with a red cloth, appearing hefty.
"A bit of appreciation, please accept, Chief ng."
ng Liangyu lifted the red cloth, frowned at a glance.
Not enough, needs more.
Gou Ying imdiately understood, quickly said, "Rest assured, Chief ng, if this resolves, additional silver will follow."
His heart ached—three thousand taels of silver wasn’t enough. This young Chief ng’s appetite is truly outrageous!
"Hmm."
Hearing this, ng Liangyu nodded satisfactorily, "Wait for the news. I’ll find an opportunity to arrange a eting between your two parties."
