"Anyone who sses with Four Lord’s goods, kill!" Master Ma seizes any opportunity to act. No matter how fierce a woman is, she’s still a woman, liking sweet talk and hearing others express her desires.
"Master Ma really hit the nail on the head, but if that person is dead, where am I supposed to find the goods?"
"Uh... this..."
"If you can make this woman return the goods she took from , then it’s yours."
"Four Lord, are you serious?"
"Master Ma’s request can’t be ignored. After all, your Horse Gang has contributed a lot, so of course I’ll take care of it. Currently, it’s a critical ti; Yao Zheng has caused turmoil in the North District, all transactions have halted, and my two venues were destroyed, which is truly unfortunate."
"Four Lord, why the sudden politeness? I’m quite flustered." Master Ma sensed sothing wrong and quickly bowed, afraid to sit in front of the standing Four Lord, showing utmost sincerity instead.
"President Yan took goods from , do you still have an account?" Raising Yan Juanjuan’s chin with the end of a smoking pipe. "If you don’t rember, I might need to remind you."
"Fifty kilograms."
"Ah, Master Ma, did you hear clearly? Fifty kilograms is enough for your brothers to consu for a while."
"Understood, Four Lord." Fifty kilograms of high-purity drugs would amount to millions once sold, possibly more if sold well. He looked at Yan Juanjuan as if seeing a stack of USD. "If Four Lord has no objections, I’d like to take President Yan out for a chat."
"No objections, of course, but fifty kilograms won’t be taken for free." Four Lord glanced at Master Ma with a twitching face and waved at soone nearby. "You can’t take the person, but you can borrow a place. From the acquired goods, I want a ten percent cut. How about it?"
"Thank you, Four Lord." Only taking ten percent, Master Ma breathed a sigh of relief, fearing the woman might retaliate.
"Follow my people."
"No, don’t!" Yan Juanjuan felt herself being lifted, struggling fearfully. "Don’t hand over to this person, please don’t."
Four Lord raised a hand, signaling the person holding Yan Juanjuan to release her. "Is it that our President Yan has sothing to say?" She asked while casually glancing at Master Ma walking ahead.
"Four Lord! The goods were taken from you together with Yao Zheng, but they’re truly no longer with ." Yan Juanjuan desperately tried to clarify.
"Not with you, with whom? Yao Zheng insists they’re with you."
"North Palace was burned, and the goods inside are gone. Why hasn’t he told you this? By then, he had already imprisoned ; you can ask Ye Zi."
"Ask Ye Zi?" Four Lord subtly glanced at the white-clad girl beside, leaning toward Yan Juanjuan’s ear for a whisper. "I know the goods are not with you."
"You..."
"Heh, do you think you could move my goods and escape?" Four Lord stood up. "Master Ma, you may take her away. I hope you get the truth from President Yan’s mouth."
Master Ma nodded, following the n out of the room.
"Four Lord!" Ye Zi prostrated before Four Lord.
"Do you have sothing to tell ?" Four Lord turned away, lounging lazily on the couch as the woman in red reignited her cigarette.
"Yes, I have a report."
"Heh!"
"Though I’m not quite in the mood to listen now, considering the years you’ve spent with , I give you this chance."
"I set the North Palace on fire!"
"Oh?" Four Lord raised her eyes, appearing uninterested. "What about the goods?"
"They were hijacked midway."
"Did I place you by Yao Zheng’s side just for you to betray ?"
"It’s not like that, Four Lord." Ye Zi trembled uncontrollably. "After Yao Zheng killed Yan Fengying, I headed to North Palace to retrieve the goods, setting fire to the second floor, but when I prepared to leave North Palace, a team of seven well-trained individuals appeared."
"So the goods you obtained were taken by soone else?"
"Yes, when I ca to, I was already on North Palace’s lawn, engulfed in flas."
"So, the outermost fire of North Palace was also set by you?"
"No, it was Yao Zheng. At the ti, I couldn’t escape those police officers, so I caused chaos outside, hoping to flee during the confusion."
"Truly loyal and righteous!"
"Four Lord!"
"Don’t think I don’t know what you did. You wanted the police’s attention on , right? Taking goods from just to stage tricks in Xiao i’s room. Do you desire my death that much, or are you aiming for my position?"
"No, I didn’t an so!"
"What was the purpose of killing the person locked up in Sword? Whose attention were you trying to attract?"
"Four Lord, I truly didn’t intend to betray you, I..."
"Red Clothes, deal with her, cleanly."
"Yes, Lord!"
Four Lord appeared slightly weary, holding her smoking pipe, swaying as she stepped into another room. Clutching her chest, feeling a twinge of pain, it’s ti for dication.
"Lord! Ye Zi doesn’t deserve to die." A person waiting in the room handed Four Lord a small dicine bottle.
"Lao Zhao!"
"Yes, Lord, I spoke out of turn. The old man hopes for your swift return."
The so-called Lao Zhao was none other than the forr chief of the North District Police Station, missing for a while. "Lao Zhao, don’t you bla for killing your son?" Lao Zhao’s hand holding the dicine trembled, a slight show of emotion caught by Four Lord. "You could bla ; it’s my oversight that allowed Yao Zheng to exploit the gap."
"You’ve done plenty for Ah San, so the child hasn’t died in vain."
"They say Lao Zhao is blind to the truth; I think they’re the real blind ones. Only you grasp what I’m aiming for."
"Lord, Lao Zhao was mistaken and won’t speculate recklessly anymore."
"Did my engineered highway accident reveal too much to you?" Four Lord frowned at Lao Zhao’s humble deanor.
"Master deliberately caused a highway accident near the city’s center, hoping to lead people to the North District. I rely followed your intent."
"You’ve long noticed Yao Zheng’s ambition and Ye Zi’s betrayal; why didn’t you bring it up?"
"Master purposely staged Xiao i’s body by the central lake, had Red Clothes pose as Zhang Qian beside Zhang Qiang, along with many small details, signaling your intent to dismiss Yao Zheng’s role. Unexpectedly, people from Xiao Family appeared." (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian to vote for recomndation tickets or monthly tickets.
