Chapter 107 - 95: Launching an Operation
The men grew increasingly angry as they listened.
But deep within the courtyard, in the inner hall, a burly man with knotted muscles stood silently in the upper seat. If one were to overlook the numerous white hairs among his black hair, they might think he had just entered his prime. His eyes were deep, possessing the calm and restraint of an aged leader.
This man was none other than Qiao Yifei, the Gang Leader of the Lotus Gang. He listened quietly to Pang Biao’s curses, a look of lament and helplessness on his face.
"In the end, I couldn’t keep it hidden; there’s no escaping this calamity," Qiao Yifei said despondently.
He gazed at the withered leaves falling from the branches outside, swaying in the chilly autumn wind.
"Old Zhou," Qiao Yifei called softly.
"Here, master." An elderly servant, dressed as a steward, entered through a side door and responded quietly.
"How many years have you been with me?" Qiao Yifei looked at the old man’s hunched figure, unable to help but reminisce.
"Almost forty years now." Steward Zhou raised his head, his aged eyes showing a flash of concern.
As he stared at Qiao Yifei’s face, he seemed to notice the desolation, and his heart trembled with surprise.
Thinking about Qiao Yifei’s situation, he couldn’t help but feel a quiver in his chest.
