Chapter 41 Step Forward if You Disagree_1
Li Lan stood behind Shangguan You, her heart filled with anxiety as she worriedly watched Shangguan You. Although Shangguan You was skilled, facing so many people, Li Lan wasn’t sure if she could cope. Some who had been neutral before were also watching Shangguan You’s performance with great interest.
Zhong Mingyang, his blood-stained clothes now changed to black attire, was leaning lazily against the wall. He was curious to see what skills this little girl, who had saved Li Qing’s life amidst danger, possessed that had convinced the Li siblings.
Shangguan You’s cold gaze swept disdainfully over Duan Wei and then settled on Yang Yi and Duan Gang, a hint of an icy smile playing on her lips. Amidst the varied gazes of the crowd, Zi Yuqian extended her fair hands and swiftly formed a strange sigil in mid-air. It was none other than the Truth Curse. A profound light radiated from her icy gaze, coldly meeting Duan Wei’s.
Duan Wei, who had been cursing vehemently, suddenly shuddered, his mind going blank. Pointing at Li Lan and Yang Yi, he began to shout, "Damn these bitches—Li Lan should have died long ago! And that bastard Li Qing, why didn’t Yang Hu shoot him dead? Why didn’t he die sooner? With Li Qing dead, the Qing Gang would be thrown into chaos. Yang Yi is as dumb as a pig—all brawn and no brains—fixated only on becoming the gang leader. Duan Gang is just as thick as thieves with him. As long as Li Qing is dead, the Qing Gang is finished."
Duan Wei’s screaming brought silence to the entire hall, as everyone looked at him in disbelief.
"Hmph, the pittance the Qing Gang pays me isn’t even enough for a single gamble at the casino. The Zhongyi Gang pays me several times more. All I need to do is monitor every move of the Qing Gang and relay the information to the Zhongyi Gang’s boss. At the right moments, I’ll fan the flames to make the Qing Gang disintegrate. The Zhongyi Gang can then exploit their weakness and seize all of the Qing Gang’s territories in one fell swoop. I am the Zhongyi Gang’s hall master."
"Damned bitches, popping out of nowhere and screwing up my plans during the last clash with Hu’s gang. This time Li Qing finally took the bait and was about to die from the gunshot—then you, wretched woman, had to make trouble again. Even if you are highly skilled, what of it? I’ll have you kicked out of the Qing Gang..."
Pointing at a group of people, Duan Wei began to curse loudly, revealing the darkest, most hidden thoughts from deep within his heart. It turned out he was the true traitor within the Qing Gang, which explained why their every move had been anticipated.
The man who had been vocally supporting Duan Wei moments earlier saw the situation turn. He tried to melt into the angry crowd and slip away.
A cold voice rang out. "Where are you going?" The man was immediately restrained by his Qing Gang brothers standing near him.
"Hahaha," laughed Duan Wei, pointing at the man. "Yang Yi is such an idiot. That man is clearly from the Zhongyi Gang, yet Yang Yi still grandly brought him into the Qing Gang and entrusted him with important responsibilities. Tell me, if the Qing Gang falls under his control, wouldn’t it be destroyed by him sooner or later? Therefore, the Qing Gang will be replaced by the Zhongyi Gang; it’s only a matter of time."
