Chapter 144: Breaking into Broadway (2)_1
As soon as Big Boss Lei’s words were spoken, Liu Yuxiang and the Dragon Society elites frowned gloomily. Clearly, Big Boss Lei’s words had irked them. Amid those present, besides Du Pengfei, the other bosses were inwardly cursing Big Boss Lei as a hopeless case, always bringing up what should not be mentioned.
When Big Boss Lei made that statement, he felt the air around him suddenly freeze, and his breathing began to slow down. His words brought to Situ Xin’s mind the sight of Xia Yujie lying on the hospital bed the previous night, and the thought that if she had not gone yesterday, Xia Yujie would have likely been in grave danger, which ignited a fire of anger within her.
"Big Boss Lei, what do you mean by that?" Liu Yuxiang glared at Big Boss Lei with a murderous look. You must know, Xia Yujie’s injuries were so severe that they went to great lengths to block the news. Liu Yuxiang had initially thought it was the Green Tiger Gang’s doing, but now it seemed, when Xia Yujie was ambushed, these small gangs were also involved.
By then, Big Boss Lei had realized he had misspoken and, on top of the pressure Situ Xin was putting on him, was constantly wiping the sweat from his forehead without being able to utter a word.
Du Pengfei, seeing the atmosphere growing increasingly tense, had no choice but to speak up, "Since the Dragon Society’s Vice Boss Liu is here, please take a seat quickly."
"Ah, Big Boss Du, you flatter me too much. I’m just a runner. Our boss had something to do today and couldn’t come, so he sent me to entertain the big bosses," said Liu Yuxiang with a roguish air. But he helped himself to a seat without any hesitation. He wanted to let Situ Xin sit down too, but he swallowed his words after a glance at Situ Xin sitting comfortably on Baibai’s back.
Seeing Liu Yuxiang giving them no face, dissatisfaction showed on the faces of the bosses present. Even Fu Pengfei’s eyes darkened, but in a flash, he suppressed the look and turned to say with a smile, "You’re being too modest now. Who doesn’t know that Liu Yuxiang is the Dragon Society’s second-in-command? However, I would like to ask, Brother Liu, with so many from your Dragon Society present today, is there something on the agenda?
"Oh, nothing much. Isn’t it said that the bosses of a few gangs are getting together to bond? And how could this bonding session go on without the Dragon Society? Originally, our boss should have been here, but unfortunately, he was ambushed yesterday and is still lying in the hospital, so I had to come in his place. I assume everyone here doesn’t mind," said Liu Yuxiang, picking up a glass, looking up at the several people present with a smiley face. Although Liu Yuxiang was smiling, his smile sent shivers down the spines of the bosses present.
"Hehe, not at all, we don’t mind one bit," said one of the bosses closest to Liu Yuxiang in a jesting, ingratiating tone.
