Deal with them?!

Xiang Wan’s heart sank.

The meaning of these words were too broad. It could range from actual deaths to just daunting them.

If the other party was just testing the waters and Bai Muchuan rejected their offer, the show that Bai Muchuan and team had put up would be put to waste.

But if they did not reject the offer, then Captain Zhang and his men…

Brother Blackface looked at Bai Muchuan earnestly.

Xiang Wan also looked at his fit stature, but her eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

“D*mn! What the hell?” Quan Shaoteng suddenly flared up where he kicked the two unlucky fellows who became his punching bag as they had not yet managed to get up from the floor. “I hate it the most when people try to bargain with me, do YOU understand?!” He roared at Brother Blackface.

Bai Muchuan gave a sympathetic glance to Brother Blackface. His eyes were filled with helplessness that seemed to tell him, “There’s nothing I can do about this grumpy brother of mine.”

That was also followed by a regretful sigh.

“Brother Blackface, we’re here for business.”

Brother Blackface studied Bai Muchuan’s expression, not uttering a word.

Bai Muchuan: “A businessman values the philosophy of ‘harmony breeds wealth’. Although we’re engaged in illegal business, we don’t want to get ourselves in trouble so easily…”

After a short pause, he raised an eyebrow. “You should understand this, right?”

“Hurhur.” Brother Blackface cackled. “Indeed, harmony breeds wealth! But having them tailing behind you will spoil your plans to make money. Not only that, they’ll get you sooner or later, right?”

Bai Muchuan grunted a laugh, but his face instantly turned gloomy. He pulled out his pistol and twirled it around in his finger in a dashing, indolent posture.

“Brother Blackface, are you suggesting that we’re good-for-nothings as we can’t even deal with a few detectives ourselves?”

Brother Blackface felt a chill run down his spine as he stood frozen in spot.

It was not difficult to tell that Bai Muchuan was furious.

Brother Blackface calmed himself down. “Absolutely not!” He laughed. “This is the first time you come to Nanmu. I’m just trying to offer some help as a brother. Since you’re not willing, it’s fine with me.”

“Thank you for your kind offer,” grunted Bai Muchuan, “but having the police following behind us is not a bad thing, too.”

Brother Blackface: “?”

Bai Muchuan sent a cold glare his way. “If it wasn’t for the police, Brother Blackface wouldn’t have treated us as brothers, am I right? That means… I won’t even know if I will be able to wake up the next day if I’m really asleep?”

Brother Blackface smiled awkwardly. “No, no, no, we’re only here for money…”

Then he looked at the two guys who were kicked by Quan Shaoteng, one of them still being “stepped on” by him…

Brother Blackface gulped and cleared his throat. “So what should these two ignorant brothers of mine do in order to show their sincerity to make up for what had happened?”

Bai Muchuan was playing with the pistol in his hand as though he was performing a magic show. A cold chill went down Brother Blackface’s spine as he watched how Bai Muchuan played with the gun.

“I’ll let you handle it!” he said suddenly.

The one he was looking at was Quan Shaoteng.

Both of them exchanged glances and Quan Shaoteng retracted his leg.

“It’s easy! Just chop off the hand that flipped through my luggage!”

“!” The two guys on the floor cried in fear upon hearing that. “No! Brother Blackface, please save us…”

He wanted their hands chopped off just because they rummaged through his luggage?!

Quan Shaoteng did not even blink his eyes when he said those words.

Everybody held their breath nervously as they stared at him.

Bai Muchuan puffed a sigh. “Laowu, they’re our brothers, too. Don’t go too far!”

Quan Shaoteng licked his gums as he thought about it, and then he nodded his head and showed an evil grin. “Fine, whoever touched my luggage, take off your pants!”

“!” What is he trying to do?

The room suddenly became very quiet.

Everybody in the room looked at Quan Shaoteng in disbelief!

But Quan Shaoteng didn’t look like he was joking at all as he had a very solemn look on his face.

“Get them to remove their pants and get out of here with their bare buttocks! Only then I will spare their lives! Otherwise—”

He made a motion by touching his waist and did not say further.

There was a gun on his waist!

All of Bai Muchuan’s men was equipped with a gun!

In actual fact, Brother Blackface did not totally believe that they were here for business. He only believed that their guns were definitely real.

Just this fact alone was enough!

Seeing that there were no more room for negotiation, he stared at the two fellows grimly.

“Heard that? Strip!”

“Brother Blackface…”

“Just do it!” Brother Blackface commanded, “All of us are men. What’s there to be afraid of?”

“…”

Xiang Wan shrunk back into the quilt by pulling the quilt over her head quietly.

Could it be that she looked like a man? Or maybe she was being forgotten?

Quan Shaoteng had forgotten about Xiang Wan but not Bai Muchuan.

The very moment when she pulled up the quilt, Bai Muchuan had taken notice of that. He pursed his lips in amusement but did not say a word.

Quan Shaoteng folded his arms. He had a sinister look on his face as he glanced at the two fellows.

“You want to protect your pride or your life! Take your pick!”

Sensing that there were no other way out, the two fellows finally gave in and unbuckled their belts.

Slosh!

Two pairs of pants dropped onto the floor, leaving only their boxers on.

Quan Shaoteng raised his chin—apparently, he had no intention to look away.

The two fellows were shaking with uneasiness and embarrassment, for they were unsure if they need to continue to strip…

Quan Shaoteng raised his eyebrow. “Strip!”

After that, he yelled for Tang Yuanchu. “Donald Duck 1 ! Where’s the phone? Quick! Take a picture!”

Tang Yuanchu: “…”

He just got a new nickname out of nowhere. Tang Yuanchu’s mouth twitched when he heard that.

Furthermore, Quan Shaoteng wanted him to take a picture? That was a violation of his principle!

However in Quan Shaoteng’s eyes, it was obvious that there was no such thing as principles.

He remained calm and composed while waiting. “Hurry! If they continue to misbehave in the future, we’ll post these pictures online and let everyone see what a coward they are!”

“…”

Seeing that, Bai Muchuan knew it was about time to step in.

“That’s enough!” He glanced at Brother Blackface from the corner of his eye while facing Quan Shaoteng. “We’re all brothers, don’t overdo it,” he persuaded, “your anger should have subsided by now. Let’s give Brother Blackface some face! When we reach Nanmu, we still need Brother Blackface’s help!”

Quan Shaoteng frowned upon hearing that. “But they went through my suitcase and touched my briefs!”

Is this fellow addicted to acting?!

Bai Muchuan remarked that secretly inside his head and felt amused, but he was all composed in front of everyone. Upon hearing that, he turned to Tu Liang.

“Get a dozen new briefs for Master Quan, hear that?”

Tu Liang was controlling his laughter and replied with a serious look. “Yes, Boss!”

Hearing that, Quan Shaoteng gave a snort, seemingly satisfied with the arrangement and walked away.

“I’ll leave these two ‘chickens’ here. You’ll deal with them! I’m going to eat my fried chicken!”

And he left the room!

The people in the room were dumbfounded when they heard that.

Brother Blackface gave an awkward laugh. “This brother sure has a big temper!”

Bai Muchuan’s smile felt somewhat creepy, which made Brother Blackface a little disturbed. “People who have capability tend to behave like that. He had single-handedly took down five to six people who were carrying weapons before. He’s not only good at combat, he’s also a marksman—every shot of his would always land on the head…”

“…”

The way he put it sounded so casual, as though it’s nothing! thought Brother Blackface.

He talked about killing people as though talking about a good meal he had?

Brother Blackface was confounded, his fingers clenched together tightly.

“I see, I see. He has every right to have a temper!”

Although these people were up to no good, when it comes to killing people, not many of them could do it without their hands shaking in fear!

Watching how nonchalant Bai Muchuan was, Brother Blackface got more convinced that he was definitely not the police.

“Thank you, brother, for being magnanimous! So… I can bring them away now?”

Bai Muchuan waved his hands. “Go ahead! Please send my regards if you see Brother Steel!”

Brother Blackface nodded and suddenly thought of something. “Brother, I still don’t know how I should address you?”

Bai Muchuan replied with a casual and relaxed smile, “Everyone calls me ‘Crown Prince’!”

Uh! Brother Blackface cupped his hands gravely. “Brother Crown Prince, pleased to meet you! This brother shall take his leave now!”

He exchanged glances with his lackeys, reassuring them that they could go.

Bai Muchuan suddenly called out to him.

“Don’t forget to tell Brother Steel that Brother Six was the one who told me about him!”

Brother Blackface was a little startled, but he quickly returned a smile. “Sure, sure.”

…

They had barely left for 10 seconds when Bai Muchuan nodded at Tu Liang.

Tu Liang nodded back and led the rest of them out of the room.

Bai Muchuan walked slowly to the window and took out his mobile phone to call Captain Zhang.

The phone only rang once and the other party picked up the call. “Hello!”

So fast?

Looks like Captain Zhang’s waiting for his call?

Bai Muchuan smiled. “Are you guys alright?”

Captain Zhang pondered for a while before replying, “I’m alright.”

He was obviously gnashing his teeth in anger, yet he said everything was alright.

He’s acting tough!

Bai Muchuan did not utter another word while keeping the faint smile on his face.

Captain Zhang hesitated for a while before he continued in a low voice, “One of my men got beaten up and I sent another one to bring him to the hospital at Pingxing—”

“…”

That group of people was absolutely lawless!

They already knew that Captain Zhang and his men were the police, yet they dared to beat up one of them so severely.

“They’re trying to tell you who’s in charge here!”

“Hmph! Exactly, these people have always been arrogant!”

Bai Muchuan could sense the rage in Captain Zhang’s tone. He took a glance at the dark scenery of the woods in the mountains and smiled.

“Brother! Do you want a chance to take your revenge and do a meritorious deed at the same time?”

Captain Zhang: “…”

He remained silent for about ten seconds. “What do you intend to do?” he asked.

…

That night, a lot of people overheard the sounds of gunshots in the streets of Jiang Zhong.

But in that rainy night, not even a single person dared to come out and check out what had happened.

On the next day, when Xiang Wan came downstairs with Bai Muchuan for breakfast, they could hear a few employees talking about the commotion that occurred last night. They said there were detectives from another city who came to Jiang Zhong to arrest some people. One guy was shot to death on the spot for refusing to be held captive, two of them were arrested, while one managed to escape…

It had all started with a group of people provoking the police by luring one of the detectives out and beating him up.

That angered the police, and before dawn, the Jiang Zhong police station dispatched manpower to search for the perpetrators all over town. When the Xi City police got hold of the news, they immediately got the police station at Pingxing to dispatch manpower to assist in the arrest of the perpetrators at Jiang Zhong as well.

A new round of crime crackdown started!

The perpetrators were too savage to clash head on with the police!

After the rain stopped, there were more pedestrians and cars on the streets of Jiang Zhong.

The atmosphere at Jiang Zhong inn had also changed a little because of last night’s incident.
