Lang Songbai did not argue, he simply used a very simple phrase to make Sheng Lianhua close her mouth.
"I’m carrying out the Big Master’s orders. If Vice Gang Leader Sheng is upset, you can go question the Big Master on the top floor."
Sheng Lianhua’s aggressive attitude was instantly quelled.
Ridiculous.
Even if you lent her the courage, she wouldn’t dare question Huangfu Zhen.
So she imdiately changed her stance, cautiously asking, "There are orders from above?"
"How would I know? The Big Master ordered to catch soone, so I went to catch them. I don’t have your level of curiosity."
Sheng Lianhua ignored the sarcasm in Lang Songbai’s words and instead asked, "So was the person caught?"
"No, at the ti I heavily injured him with the Moon Breath Finger, but he still managed to escape. I was about to start a search, but then there was trouble within the gang, so it got delayed. However, I’m confident he couldn’t have run far and might still be hiding in Changping Square."
Lang Songbai was very confident in his Moon Breath Finger.
After being hit by it, although it wouldn’t cause instant death, it was enough to make Mo Qi suffer.
Unless he had accomplices to help, otherwise there’s no way he could’ve gotten far.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Lianhua imdiately said, "Then leave this matter to , I’ll hunt him down."
"Why?"
Lang Songbai imdiately refused, then sneered.
"I went through a lot of trouble to root him out and was the one who injured him. Now you want to co and take the credit. Doesn’t Vice Gang Leader Sheng think it’s quite unseemly?"
"Of course, I won’t take advantage of you for nothing. I’ll compensate you once the matter is settled, how about that?" Sheng Lianhua knew she was in the wrong and didn’t mind Lang Songbai’s sarcasm, directly offering a condition.
Lang Songbai looked Sheng Lianhua up and down, then suddenly laughed.
"Didn’t see that you have ambition, even at your age. Planning to climb higher using this matter? But your talent is average, destined to be like this your whole life. Why put in so much effort?"
"None of your concern. This happened in Changping Square, so if I investigate and hunt, it will save you a lot of trouble. The benefits after the event will naturally not exclude you, so what’s your decision?"
Lang Songbai didn’t hesitate much and nodded in agreent.
"Alright, but I want concrete benefits, preferably cultivation resources. Don’t try to fool with worthless silver notes."
"No problem."
After they reached a cooperation agreent, the atmosphere finally relaxed.
Just then, Yu San ca in with tea and snacks, placed them on the table cautiously, bowed his head, and was about to leave.
"Wait a mont!" Lang Songbai suddenly shouted.
Yu San stopped imdiately, "Gang Leader Lang, is there any order?"
"Why didn’t you co in earlier when you were outside the door?" Lang Songbai asked.
"Replying to Gang Leader Lang, I saw that the two were discussing matters inside, afraid to disturb, so I waited outside."
"So you heard everything we said just now?" Lang Songbai said lightly, but there was a hint of killing intent in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, Yu San wasn’t flustered at all and instead gave a foolish smile, "No, I’m hard of hearing, any further sounds I can’t hear."
"Then how did you know we finished our discussion?" Lang Songbai didn’t ease up.
"Because I can see, when Gang Leader Lang stood up, it showed the matter was over."
Seeing Yu San’s honest face, Lang Songbai finally relaxed and waved his hand.
"Go."
"Yes!"
Yu San left.
After he left, Sheng Lianhua laughed, "I’ve long heard that Vice Gang Leader Lang is naturally cautious. Seeing it today, it’s indeed extraordinary. Even a servant serving tea needs questioning."
This was actually a retort to Lang Songbai’s previous sarcasm at her.
Lang Songbai understood, but he wasn’t angry, instead, he laughed, "People like us who live on the edge must naturally be careful."
"And I presu you don’t want our private cooperation to be known by the Big Master either."
"Of course not."
"Then that’s it, best to keep it secret, only speak after capturing Mo Qi."
"Alright!"
Yet, they didn’t know that while they were discussing in the room, after Yu San left, he was instantly drenched in sweat.
No other reason.
Lang Songbai’s oppressive presence was overwhelming.
If Yu San hadn’t reacted quickly, his life might have been lost.
He returned downstairs, and the supervisor praised him greatly, giving him the promised reward of three taels of silver.
Then Yu San left Four Seas Building under envious gazes, ready to go ho.
But after entering the alley where he lived, Yu San didn’t go ho. Instead, he slipped into a dilapidated courtyard.
"Xiao’Er!"
After a light shout, soone quickly ca out of the house, precisely Chen Xiao’Er.
"What’s up, Yu?"
"I earned a reward today, let’s go have a drink, just the two of us."
"Great!"
Upon hearing about drinking, Chen Xiao’Er was naturally full of joy, didn’t even close the door, and followed Yu San to a large vat of wine nearby.
The so-called large vat of wine refers to a place that specializes in selling draft wines. Later, clever shopkeepers also started selling sausages, dried tofu, and other snacks, making it a cost-effective place for leisure.
Previously, Chen Xiao’Er and Yu San couldn’t even afford such places, at most buying a cup of draft wine and sharing a salted bean as a snack.
