Chapter 177: Chapter 181: The Underworld Boss’s Little Sweetheart (13)
Su Li looked at the current situation of Master Hu’s gang and saw that the three n who had just been ntioned harbored the greatest ambition. They had been making their moves secretly and, moreover, their power had started to take on so scale, which was becoming sowhat problematic.
As for the others, they were nothing more than yes-n to the leading trio, not worth worrying about.
Although Guo, Hu Wen, and Scar didn’t take much notice of Mr. Huang’s appearance, they still had to save face.
Especially since following him were so of the gang’s elders, who had long since ceased to involve themselves in the gang’s affairs.
Now they had all appeared together, and Guo suddenly had a bad feeling flash through his mind.
He had never taken Hu Wen or Scar seriously; one was a blunt brute who knew nothing but fighting and killing, and the other, a gloomy figure who seed almost invisible. They didn’t seem like competitors to him.
Guo had long reserved the gang leader’s position for himself in his heart; perhaps he wouldn’t even have to wait for Mr. Huang’s death to get his wish.
Mr. Huang still looked weak, needing to be supported as he sat at the head seat, and gasped for breath for several seconds before he felt slightly better.
Even these simple gestures seed like they were taking half his life.
The others, each with their own ulterior motives, watched Mr. Huang’s state, their eyes glowing like wolves that had spotted food.
Su Li smiled and quietly observed every expression of the people present without stirring a sound.
Hu Wen was the first to lose patience. Rubbing his bald head, he asked loudly, “Big Brother, why did you call all of us brothers over today?”
Hu Wen’s eyes were full of anticipation, and he thought to himself that it couldn’t be that Mr. Huang’s health was worsening, which might an he was going to appoint soone to take over.
Thinking this, Hu Wen’s eyes were filled with wariness as he glanced at Guo and Scar.
Hu Wen had the thought, and Guo also had it when Mr. Huang entered the room and couldn’t stop coughing.
But he was full of confidence, absolutely sure of himself, looking like he held a winning ticket, which made Hu Wen grind his teeth in hatred.
Mr. Huang cleared his throat and slowly pointed at Su Li, saying, “This is Su Li, my adopted daughter whom I recognized a few days ago.”
He didn’t care how much of a commotion his words caused below; Mr. Huang continued, “I didn’t take care of my health when I was young, and now that I’m old, the deficiencies have surfaced. My health is increasingly unreliable, so Su Li will handle gang affairs on my behalf in the future. All of you uncles should give her so support, offer her advice when needed…”
When Guo heard this, his face was still okay, but his smile beca particularly stiff, and he clenched his fists at his sides. His gaze at Su Li was filled with a mix of disdain and contempt.
However, Hu Wen wasn’t as composed. Hearing Mr. Huang entrust all the gang’s affairs to a young girl, he imdiately felt intense animosity.
Although it wasn’t explicitly stated, did this an that the position of gang leader would be passed on to this woman?
“Mr. Huang, what are you saying? A woman should be out shopping or keeping a pretty boy, not ddling in a man’s world, potentially sullying her delicate nature,” Hu Wen couldn’t help but lash out, but Mr. Huang just chuckled silently, and Su Li knew it was ti for her to step up.
Su Li gently let go of Mr. Huang’s arm, which had been resting on hers, and walked up to Hu Wen.
It was only when Beauty moved that one could truly see how utterly beautiful soone could be; every gesture was seductive.
Hu Wen’s eyes gradually beca deep, and he couldn’t help but reach out to pull Su Li into his arms, “Big Brother, our niece is so beautiful, can you really bear to let her take care of all those rough and troubleso matters? Let handle them instead. Our niece can just stay by my side comfortably – that would be much better.”
Hu Wen spoke with flippant disrespect, carrying a hint of contempt for Mr. Huang.
Even the fiercest lion, once aged, should make way for more capable, younger warriors.
As Hu Wen entertained these thoughts, the smile had barely faded from his lips when it abruptly froze, followed by an intense pain erupting in the palm of his hand.
A dainty throwing knife danced on Su Li’s fingertips.
The hand that Hu Wen had extended toward Su Li was already penetrated by the throwing knife.
Su Li said, “Uncles, don’t think you can bully just because I’m young and frail, or else…” His tone suddenly turned exceptionally sharp, “This will be the consequence of underestimating .”
“The last one who laid a finger on , well, his hands are probably lying in so dung pit, writhing with maggots… It would be wise for the uncles not to try their luck.”
Hu Wen, looking at his perforated palm, paused for a few seconds before howling, “You actually dared to harm …”
He had his fair share of killing and plundering, his hands stained with countless people’s blood. No one had ever managed to so much as scratch him, yet today, a whore had broken the mold.
Hu Wen was now entirely disregarding any respect for Mr. Huang, swinging his palm towards Su Li’s neck. As the tender, fragile neck was about to fall into the clutches of the villain’s fan-sized hand, everyone present anticipated the outco.
Indeed, Hu Wen was brutal—regardless of being a beautiful woman, he was ready to kill even soone personally introduced by Mr. Huang.
It would have been wonderful, such a beauty, who knows how enchanting she might be in bed.
Guo and the others were all ready, waiting to see Mr. Huang and their ugly faces.
Serves them right for bringing such a character to annoy them…
However, to everyone’s surprise, at the critical mont, Hu Wen’s iron-like palm was blocked by a delicate hand, and then…
Hu Wen exerted all his strength, but he couldn’t budge that hand, fair as fine jade.
And then…
Everyone present thought they saw an illusion.
Hu Wen’s body, as massive as a small hill, was sent flying… out.
Flying…
Until, with a thunderous crash, he landed on a set of rosewood tea tables, crushing the fine table into two halves with his muscular fra. It was only then that everyone snapped back to reality.
They all looked at Su Li, eyes wide as if they had seen a ghost.
Su Li still smiled, standing as delicate as a flower, having not moved an inch from her spot.
On the other hand, Hu Wen moaned in pain, unable to get up for a long while.
Su Li cast a casual glance over everyone, coquettishly chiding, “Uncles, please forgive , my temper isn’t that good. Do not anger , for when I lose control, even I would be afraid.”
Although the tone was delicate, Guo and the others felt a chilling sense from it.
Especially Guo and Scar, who received a direct gaze from Su Li, both shuddering involuntarily.
