Chapter 800: Murder and Seize Power
A grand mansion, surrounded by walls and punctuated by a courtyard, guarded by security personnel, clearly indicates that the master of this dwelling must hail from an intriguing background.
Indeed, the owner of this mansion is a locally notorious gang boss. He runs seven diverse operations and commands an army of over a hundred men who kill and hustle for him, earning him vast amounts of money daily and allowing him to live a life of unabashed luxury.
Today, the gang boss was relaxing in his home, enjoying wine and female company, when a bit of disturbing news arrived. Five of his underlings were seeking an audience with him, brought urgent news — there seemed to be trouble with a shipment they were escorting.
The boss, livid at this disruption, demanded that the underlings be brought before him. He wanted to know firsthand what had happened to his prized cargo.
Naturally, the boss’ men weren’t fools — before allowing anyone into the presence of their leader, they’d ensure to scan them for any hidden weapons.
The underlings, once inside the mansion and in the grand reception room, displayed evident unease upon laying eyes on their boss.
The boss wasn’t particularly fond of these underlings. Still, his interest was piqued when he noticed a captivating Eastern woman silently standing behind them.
"Speak! What the hell happened to my cargo?" he barked, his frosty gaze enough to silence the trembling underlings.
Qian Ye was unconcerned by these theatrics. She walked around the room, appreciatively eyeing the opulence of the mansion. "This place is quite nice — it really suits my tastes. Compared to Gu Fan’s dilapidated old house, this place is practically a palace," she noted.
