Chapter 182: Chapter 186: The Mob Boss’s Little Sweetheart (18)
Chongming’s brain hadn’t completely gone to waste, after all; the patience he had discarded upon becoming the boss had finally kicked in a bit.
But it still wasn’t enough, his impression of the North District remained stuck in the tis when Mr. Huang was in charge: the weakest among their several forces. Now a woman had taken the seat…
Chongming sneered, such a plaything; the North District must really have no one left if they let a woman step on their heads.
Su Li didn’t even need to guess; just by looking at the expression, she knew exactly what that guy across from her was thinking. He didn’t bother to hide his thoughts, or rather, he intentionally displayed them on his face.
It was enough to annoy Ogre and Poison Snake to no end.
Could the intelligence they obtained have been fake?
Ogre’s braids were flipping faster and faster, indicating the flurry of thoughts in his mind.
Regardless, the main business of the day still had to move forward.
He was the first to speak, “Lately, the title of Black Rose has beco quite famous in the underworld.”
Poison Snake: “With the North District’s constant big moves, and Boss Su even connecting with the cops, I think you owe us an explanation, Boss Su.”
The representatives from the Western District and the Southern District both gave Su Li a hard ti, and as they spoke, the atmosphere in the room beca increasingly tense and frosty.
Yet Su Li maintained the sa lazy deanor as in the beginning: slouching in her chair as if boneless, yet disarmingly stunning.
This ti, she didn’t let her lackeys do the talking for her.
Su Li kicked the leg of the table beside her and laughed, “Why should I give you an explanation, huh?”
“If you’re not convinced… then let’s settle it with a fight.”
Arrogant, too arrogant…
Ogre and Poison Snake were so angry that they were trembling. Poison Snake’s voice rang out slyly, “Have you asked your brothers below you, Boss Su? With that attitude of yours, how can we discuss things properly?”
Chongming sternly ordered Su Li, “The recent business coming from Southeast Asia, the North District better not interfere.”
Su Li smiled and narrowed her eyes, responding with easy compliance, “That’s fine.”
Ogre and Poison Snake looked at each other, their faces filled with suspicion as they glanced between Chongming and Su Li, though they said nothing.
Whatever dirty tricks the two of them might have up their sleeves, with the North District out of the drug trade from Southeast Asia, they could get a bigger piece of the pie.
Seeing this situation, Song Yu’s heart ached, and his nose and eyes gradually reddened. He started to twist and fidget awkwardly on Chongming.
Chongming couldn’t bear the pain, almost ready to swear to the heavens to show his sincerity.
Song Yu’s movents quieted down slightly, and the look he threw at Su Li carried a hint of pride and scorn.
Look, this man loves so deeply.
These were the conclusions Su Li drew from the expressions on their faces, and she didn’t diminish her smile by even a fraction. If anything, it only grew larger.
Her lips moved silently, “Idiots.”
Ensuring her ssage was conveyed clearly into Song Yu’s eyes, Su Li made her movents slow and clear, so he could catch every detail.
Chongming was quite pleased with himself, seeing Su Li’s concession as a sign that she hadn’t forgotten their past, his male vanity swelling to new heights.
If it had been the old Su Li, Chongming would never have felt this way, but now sitting opposite him was a district boss…
With Tian Bao and Yi An pondering as well, they considered the feasibility of tearing a few more pieces of flesh from the North District based on this situation.
Chongming: “Right now, you should apologize to Ah Yui first, or there is no point in talking… You in the North District surely can’t withstand a combined strike from us all, right?”
The matter of an apology was brought up again.
Ogre and Poison Snake were happy to see this happen, and their annoyance with Chongming’s earlier refusal to join forces had sowhat dissipated.
Su Li: “Ha, what delusion are you under that makes you think you can order around?”
“Talk? But I never prepared to have a proper conversation with you all.” It has always been you talking to yourselves, hasn’t it?
Su Li spread her hands, showing a complete indifference to the threats that ca from Chongming’s mouth, unworried.
Even the faces of those who had co with her bore the sa expression.
Suddenly, Su Li’s eyes beca especially bright and sparkling, “I am a law-abiding good citizen, and fighting against cri is also a civic duty of mine, like this illegal assembly is definitely intolerable.”
“We need to uphold our core values of prosperity, democracy, civilization, and harmony. What you’re doing right now is very dangerous.”
What the hell…
Apart from Su Li and her pack of lackeys, everyone else present had a huge question mark floating above their heads.
Before anyone could ask or say anything, bang, bang, bang, intense noises erupted from outside.
The door of the room they were in was violently breached from the outside.
“Police! Everyone inside, put your hands on your heads and crouch down. Do not resist, or we will shoot to kill on sight.”
Ogre, Chongming, and the others panicked and obediently crouched down with their hands over their heads. Their minds racing, before they could consider their next move, the red dots trained on their heads coerced them into complying much like a death sentence.
In contrast to the others’ panic and unsettlent, Su Li stood out exceptionally, unflustered and unmoved, not even a hair out of place.
Ogre was beside himself with rage, his eyes bulging, “It was you, wasn’t it? It was you who did this.”
He had always known that no woman who could collaborate with the cops had any integrity.
“You’re playing with fire, do you know that? Going against the entire underworld, do you think it will end well for you?”
He had always said that their annual eting location was extrely secretive, that the cops couldn’t possibly know it so precisely. And yet, without even getting started on their specific business, they were raided right at their doorstep.
“All the things you said just now, I’ve recorded, including what you just said… I suppose I can take it that you were threatening my personal safety just now?”
The smug look on Su Li’s face was so infuriating in the eyes of so that they hated her to the extre.
Chongming, who was holding a woman in his arms who had been scared into continuous screaming by the turn of events, looked even more bedraggled than the others, wishing he could devour Su Li alive.
“Indeed, I shouldn’t have been soft-hearted back then and should have dealt with you right away to avoid this ss now.”
Su Li cocked her head, curiously asking, “Could it be that you misunderstand the aning of ‘soft-hearted’? Have you ever been soft-hearted towards ?”
Turning her head, Su Li then asked Jin Buhuan to her left: “If I were to sue for personal injury, for the coercion of my freedom… how would the court judge?”
Upon regaining her composure, Sweetheart finally stopped her shrieks, only to hear Su Li’s words and imdiately voiced her displeasure loudly, “How can you do this…”
“No wonder Chongming never liked you in the past, a cold-blooded, hypocritical, vain woman like you could never find soone who truly cares for you.”
Su Li’s smile beca even gentler, so gentle that people around her instinctively took a few steps away from her without agreent.
