Everyone on Zhongnan Road considered Fu Chuanqi a true legend, as the Sky Wolf Gang, led by him, had beco the largest gang in Zhongnan Province within just ten years. Fu Chuanqi was known for his loyalty and took good care of his followers.
In many people's eyes, Fu Chuanqi's so-called loyalty could be more accurately described as overprotectiveness, as there were many tis when his actions seed even more indulgent than the most doting parents.
Zheng Shuizhou was dead. Fu Chuanqi had to quickly find a suitable target for revenge to appease his furious subordinates. Even though he knew Lin Feng might not be the true culprit, he still brought his n to arrest Lin Feng. His plan was to throw Lin Feng to the sharks after presenting him to Long Shaotian...
What Fu Chuanqi didn't expect was that Long Shaotian would so resolutely stand up for Lin Feng, catching him completely off guard.
In Fu Chuanqi's mind, the Sky Wolf Gang in Zhongnan Province still held considerable influence. Lin Feng was rely a hired thug for Long Shaotian. Even if Long Shaotian wanted to show concern for Lin Feng, a simple gesture should have sufficed. He never expected Long Shaotian to go to such lengths to defend Lin Feng, even personally coming to inspect Zheng Shuizhou's body...
This is probably going to be tricky! Fu Chuanqi glanced at his clearly disappointed brothers. Steeling his heart, he thought grimly, There are too many people here now. I'll give Young Master Dragon face for the mont. But if he insists on blindly defending that kid, I'll have my n secretly capture him. I can't let him get away!
At most, I'll throw him into the sea overnight. This cruise ship is constantly moving; by dawn, who will know where Lin Feng has gone!
As Fu Chuanqi considered this, his previously anxious expression visibly relaxed.
Long Shaotian had only co over to make a show of defending Lin Feng. Given his status, he wouldn't be expected to personally inspect Zheng Shuizhou's body.
After the Sky Wolf Gang mbers pulled back the canvas, Long Shaotian patted Long Jiu on the shoulder, gave him a aningful look, and said in a low voice, "Long Jiu, you go and take a look..."
"Huh... again...?" Long Jiu muttered dissatisfiedly after being nudged by Long Shaotian.
"You want to do it myself?" Long Shaotian huffed, shaking his head. He had actually wanted Lin Feng to examine the body, but seeing the grim expression on Fu Chuanqi's face, he felt it better to let the unrelated Long Jiu take a look.
Although Long Jiu's cultivation was sowhat lacking, he was skilled in various aspects, and he completed a rough examination of Zheng Shuizhou's body in just three minutes.
"Zheng Shuizhou died of suffocation. The bones in his right arm are completely shattered; it looks like he traded blows with soone who used powerful Inner Strength to shatter them. Such force is extraordinary! This ans his killer is an absolute master!" Judging only from the corpse, and with a surprised expression, Long Jiu had clearly mistaken the assailant for the killer. He reported gravely to Long Shaotian, "Furthermore, his left arm was twisted off directly at the joint. The attacker is extrely ruthless, definitely a cold-blooded killer who kills without batting an eye!"
Unlike Zhou Yang's autopsy findings, Long Jiu couldn't determine which specific Martial Arts had caused Zheng Shuizhou's injuries. He could only vaguely assess the attacker's personality and cultivation level.
It seems there's little evidence pointing towards Lin Feng... Lin Feng is just a student; how ruthless could he be? Besides, Lin Feng probably doesn't have the strength to shatter Zheng Shuizhou's arm with one punch, right? Long Jiu thought with a glimr of hope.
Hearing Long Jiu's judgnt, Fu Chuanqi snorted in disapproval. He knew all too well what Long Jiu was implying; he was trying to get Lin Feng off the hook.
"I don't know how formidable this kid truly is, but I know he's ruthless enough and has a motive to kill!" Fu Chuanqi glanced at Long Shaotian and said coldly, "This waitress can attest that she saw Lin Feng fight Zheng Shuizhou! Moreover, I found bank transfer records on Zheng Shuizhou's phone. Less than an hour ago, ten million was transferred from Zheng Shuizhou's account to this kid's! May I ask, Lord Dragon, is this evidence sufficient?"
Fu Chuanqi sneered at Long Shaotian. In the underworld, where swift retribution and settling scores were paramount, many street killings erupted simply because soone looked at another the wrong way. It was rare for soone like Fu Chuanqi to bother with facts and evidence. However, he had to show Long Shaotian respect. Otherwise, without a justifiable cause, he wouldn't dare lay a hand on Lin Feng, who belonged to the Qingzi Sect!
"Lin Feng, is what Boss Fu said true?" Long Shaotian, feeling a bit of a headache from Fu Chuanqi's aggressive interrogation, questioned Lin Feng with a creased brow.
Despite feeling dozens of pairs of eyes, each with their own agenda, fixed on him, Lin Feng seed completely unfazed, as if under no pressure at all. He nodded. "What Gang Leader Fu said is essentially true. First, after stepping down from the ring, I did indeed fight Zheng Shuizhou, and yes, I broke his right arm. Second, I did transfer ten million from Zheng Shuizhou's account, but that was money I won from a bet with him..."
"Are you saying... you transferred ten million from Zheng Shuizhou because he lost that much to you in a bet?" Fu Chuanqi smirked at Lin Feng and asked in a deeper tone, "Are you playing us for fools? Zheng Shuizhou just lost to you in the ring. He then ca down and bet ten million with you? Did he have so much money he didn't know what to do with it, that he'd just give it to you?"
"I also find it hard to believe Zheng Shuizhou would do such a thing..." Lin Feng shook his head, adding with apparent regret, "But the fact is, he did."
"Nonsense! That sounds like a fabricated excuse now that you've been exposed!" Fu Chuanqi roared, his face flushing red. "Murder and robbery, that's the truth! Stop trying to argue!"
Lin Feng rely sneered at Fu Chuanqi without saying a word. He knew that no matter what he said, Fu Chuanqi would consider it a la excuse, so he didn't bother explaining further.
"Lord Dragon, this is the first ti I, Fu Chuanqi, am asking you for a favor, and I hope it will be the last!" Fu Chuanqi suddenly turned to Long Shaotian, pointing at Lin Feng, and stated gravely, "Hand this kid over to to deal with. My Sky Wolf Gang mbers will do anything for you on this ship, including personally stepping into the ring to fight for you!"
Fu Chuanqi had enough confidence to say this because the true number one fighter of the Sky Wolf Gang was not the deceased Zheng Shuizhou, but himself, Fu Chuanqi!
These few days on the cruise ship were a critical ti for Long Shaotian and Chen Ming, who were vying for the position of Hall Master of Jiangzhou Hall. If Long Shaotian could secure the Sky Wolf Gang's assistance, his victory would be almost guaranteed. This was far more important than a single Lin Feng!
Long Shaotian was montarily tempted. However, before he could agree, several voices of opposition rang out from the side!
"No way!" This was Wu i's unequivocal refusal.
"You can't..." Li Liping, who was in the crowd with her father Li Hong, also couldn't help but cry out.
"Dad, you can't agree..." Long Xiaoyun frowned and, surprisingly, also spoke up, trying to stop Long Shaotian from acting on his impulse.
