Gu Yang and Gu Kai’s faces were discolored, instinctively sensing that things had gotten troubleso; they hadn’t expected this Brother Sun to actually be a mber of the Shi Gang.
The Shi Gang was an infamous gang in Beijing’s underworld. They had always been a dominant force alongside the Hu Gang. Originally, the infighting between the two ’tigers’ wasn’t a concern, but regrettably, the Hu Gang’s boss had recently been wiped out by the Shi Gang. With the Hu Gang’s territory now consud, the Shi Gang reigned supre in Beijing.
The affairs of the underworld were always sothing the authorities wanted to eradicate, but ti and again, they failed to do so. Especially with a large gang like the Shi Gang, pulling one thread might unravel the whole tapestry. There were claims of collusion between authorities and criminals, and this was not just a tale of old society; in today’s Z country, such things were not uncommon, it’s just that the general populace knew little about it.
Although the Shi Gang wouldn’t target people of their status without reason, if they did fall into the hands of the Shi Gang, Gu Yang and Gu Kai knew they wouldn’t be let off easily that day.
"Little sister-in-law, later on I’ll protect you with Gu Kai. You hide in the car first, and take the chance to leave when you see an opportunity. At most, they’ll give us a beating; they won’t do anything too harsh to us," Gu Yang whispered in Shen Qinglan’s ear.
Shen Qinglan neither nodded nor shook her head. Gu Yang took her silence for agreent and exchanged a glance with Gu Kai, intending to strike first to create an opportunity for Shen Qinglan to escape.
Gu Kai’s foot injury slowed his movents. He clearly saw Shen Qinglan, who had been standing still, suddenly dash in front of them. Her hand balled into a fist, she struck the abdon of the man closest to them. He imdiately collapsed to the ground, writhing in agony, unable to stand up for quite so ti.
The sudden turn of events shocked everyone present. Gu Yang’s fist, yet to be thrown, froze in place, left in an almost comical posture.
Brother Sun squinted, "I thought she was just an ice beauty, but it turns out she’s a hot pepper—interesting, very interesting." His tongue flicked across his lips, his gaze on Shen Qinglan burning with enthusiasm, ignoring the man who had fallen to the ground.
Shen Qinglan heard his comnt, her expression unchanged as she struck out with lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, half of Brother Sun’s n had fallen. By the ti Brother Sun reacted, the look he gave Shen Qinglan had changed.
This woman was ruthless; each move she made was aid at vital points. Brother Sun believed that if she hadn’t controlled her strength, those seemingly frail hands would have beco the scythe of the Grim Reaper.
"Who exactly are you?" Brother Sun asked coldly.
At this mont, Lin Hao also realized that sothing was amiss. Seeing the fear finally in his eyes, was it any wonder to be afraid of a woman who could incapacitate seven or eight strong n in short order and remain unscathed?
As for Gu Yang, he watched on, dumbfounded. The one he had thought was the weakest among them turned out to be the most adeptly concealed; he suddenly understood why his almost god-like older brother had married Shen Qinglan so swiftly.
"Gu Kai, little sister-in-law is so cool," Gu Yang couldn’t help but say, noting how effortlessly Shen Qinglan moved, it was clear she hadn’t put in her full strength.
Even though Gu Kai said nothing, he nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with well-concealed admiration. To be so skilled at racing and equally formidable in a fight—was this really the second Miss of the Shen Family?
"Who I am? Didn’t I tell you already?" It’s just that you refused to believe it.
Brother Sun’s face darkened as he turned to Lin Hao, who quickly shook his head. "She’s definitely not the eldest Miss of the Shen Family. I have seen the Shen Family’s Miss many tis, and it’s not her."
Seeing the certainty in Lin Hao’s affirmation, Brother Sun felt sowhat relieved. As long as she wasn’t a mber of the Shen Family, that was good enough. But now, he didn’t want to make an enemy of Shen Qinglan. Even Gu Yang could see that Shen Qinglan was holding back, so how could he not notice?
"Beautiful lady, we were wrong today, and you’ve injured several of my brothers. How about we call it even for today?"
Brother Sun spoke, offering a truce. Lin Hao was startled and looked at Brother Sun; he had offended Shen Qinglan thoroughly that day. If Brother Sun didn’t help him rid of Shen Qinglan, what would he do if she sought revenge?
Having made up his mind, Brother Sun naturally wouldn’t change it easily. He ignored Lin Hao’s pleading gaze, focusing only on Shen Qinglan.
While he and Lin Hao had so connection, it was only as far as Lin Hao’s generosity extended. Once it involved his own interests, such relationships could easily dissipate.
"What if I say no?" Shen Qinglan spoke faintly.
Brother Sun’s complexion darkened, "Beauty, I’m just here to help out today, and right now, you’re unhurt, whereas my brothers are lying on the ground unable to get up."
"So what?"
"Do you really want to make enemies with the Shi Gang?" Brother Sun asked.
Shen Qinglan’s lips curled slightly, "I naturally don’t want to make enemies with the Shi Gang."
Brother Sun’s expression relaxed, "Then..."
"It’s just that I’m in a very bad mood today, and you all should pay a price for causing it."
As soon as the words fell, Shen Qinglan made her move again, this ti without holding back. Even though Brother Sun was ntally prepared, he couldn’t withstand more than three moves against Shen Qinglan.
Brother Sun and his followers were now lying on the ground, completely devoid of fighting strength. Shen Qinglan’s gaze fell on the remaining five people, including Lin Hao.
"Now it’s your turn."
Zhao San and Wang Bo’s faces turned pale as they looked at Shen Qinglan as if they saw a ssenger from Hell, "No... it has nothing to do with us, it was all Lin Hao’s doing."
Zhao San’s voice trembled weakly, he was clearly terrified to the extre.
Wang Bo and the other three didn’t speak, but their eyes conveyed the sa ssage as Zhao San’s.
Lin Hao’s complexion turned white, seeing the four turncoats, fire seed to blaze from his eyes, but he didn’t speak when he t Shen Qinglan’s icy gaze.
"Now is the ti to honor your bet," Shen Qinglan spoke softly.
Lin Hao’s face twisted, standing on the spot, motionless.
Shen Qinglan wasn’t in a hurry. A coin had appeared in her hand at so point, her slender fingers now flipping it up and down.
Suddenly, the coin left Shen Qinglan’s hand, flying straight towards Lin Hao, targeting—Lin Hao’s knee.
A scream of "Ah" was heard, and Lin Hao was already kneeling on one knee, one hand covering his knee.
He tried to stand up, but Shen Qinglan struck his other knee. This ti he truly knelt on both knees.
"Since you’re unwilling, I suppose I’ll have to reluctantly lend you a hand."
Her clear voice sounded pleasant, but in Lin Hao’s ears at that mont, it was piercingly shrill.
"Are you really not afraid of the Lin Family’s retaliation?" Lin Hao’s expression was dark as a hawk’s. If his gaze could be a sword, Shen Qinglan would likely be pierced through the heart by thousands of arrows by now.
"My na is Shen Qinglan, the Second Miss of the Shen Family you ntioned. Feel free to seek out for your revenge."
