Chapter 571: Chapter 564: Slaying Minotaurs, Undercurrents Surge!

Wednesday, evening.

At the entrance of the hotel where Zhang Wei was staying.

A group of people who clearly looked like thugs was gathering at the entrance.

Among them, a man wearing a white tank top with a green snake tattoo on his chest was regaining his focus, listening to a subordinate’s report.

"Snake Brother, according to our investigation, it should be here."

"Are you sure?"

"Boss, although there are many people coming from Dongfang Capital to Longdu, there are really not many who are lawyers, so we are certain, absolutely sure!"

"Hmm, got it!"

Green Snake glanced at his subordinates, including two men who had previously encountered Zhang Wei, or rather, been ambushed by him.

Feeling the gaze of their boss, they somewhat embarrassingly lowered their heads.

Because the boss had tasked them with finding important evidence, which they had found but then lost.

It was precisely because of their blunder that their boss had no choice but to mobilize troops and head to this place.

"Let’s go!"

Green Snake gave a big wave of his hand and, with his gang in tow, walked straight into the hotel lobby.

Since it was already late, there weren’t many customers in the lobby to begin with, and now with so many rough-looking individuals walking in, many people became panicked.

So many people—were they up to something?

The patrons in the lobby, then, scattered, some fleeing, others escaping—anyway, getting out was the right move.

The hotel’s lobby manager hurried over, smilingly approaching Green Snake.

"Snake Brother, the person is in a room upstairs."

"There are two of them, aren’t there?"

"Uh... there were two before, but this afternoon, four more women came, and now it seems like there are six of them."

"What, four women came!"

Green Snake took a deep breath when he heard the lobby manager’s report.

This lawyer sure knew how to have fun.

"Snake Brother, that’s how the young folks are these days," the lobby manager remarked, acting unsurprised.

After so many years working at the hotel, he’d seen all sorts of guests, especially the countless young couples who checked in.

It was common for ordinary couples—a man and a woman—to check in.

Occasionally, he would encounter odd groups, such as one man with multiple women, one woman with multiple men, or even group parties.

Two men calling over four women was not something outrageous; he’d even seen several men call over dozens of women.

"Snake Brother, here’s the specific room number, and this is the key. I won’t be going upstairs now."

After handing over the hotel’s spare key, the lobby manager respectfully stepped aside, clearly not intending to get involved in what was about to unfold.

However, his initiative in betraying customer information and providing the key was already a betrayal in itself.

"Hmph, let’s go up!"

Green Snake took the key, waved his large hand, and led his gang into the elevator, heading straight to someone’s room.

Upstairs.

In Zhang Wei’s room.

"One 2."

"King."

"Four 4s, a bomb."

"Pass!"

"Skip!"

"Straight 345678."

...

Zhang Wei looked at the last five cards on his phone screen, a smile playing on his lips.

Two Jokers, one 2, two As. (Jokers can form any card, including a bomb.)

"As long as I play the straight, this hand is secure!"

He glanced at the other two players; Mo Yuzhu was next in turn, and Jessica was the Landlord sitting right before him.

"Skip!"

"Pass!"

They both passed.

Zhang Wei was ecstatic.

"One 2!"

After playing that, he immediately used an emoticon from "Fight the Landlord," pouring Mo Yuzhu a cup of cappuccino!

"Classmate Mo, please commence your bomb show!"

Now, with two As and two Jokers in hand, combining to form a bomb of four As, he couldn’t imagine how he could lose.

Since there were no playing cards in the hotel room, they were playing the mobile game "Fight the Landlord - Joker’s Heaven and Earth," which wasn’t a great game, but it was decent for passing the time.

"Four 7s!" Mo Yuzhu directly threw out a bomb.

Zhang Wei nodded and then looked at Jessica’s hand.

cards!

Even if there were Jokers among them, 17 cards were simply too many to play at once.

Though the Joker’s Heaven and Earth version reduced the chances of getting stuck, with so many cards there were bound to be some single cards, requiring at least 2-3 turns to finish playing.

But he only had one bomb left in his hand.

So, he was certain to win!

"Jessica, will you hurry up and play your card?"

"You don’t seriously believe you can win with your 17 cards in one shot, do you?"

Seeing Jessica’s hesitation, Zhang Wei chuckled.

"Today, if you can win with your 17 cards in one go, I’ll eat this phone’s screen on the spot!"

"You said it~" Jessica’s hesitant look vanished in an instant, and then she cracked a slight smile.

"5 Ks!"

In truth, it was 2 Ks + 3 Jokers, making up the bomb of 5 Ks.

"Pass!"

Zhang Wei had no choice, his 4 As were strong, but not a match for 5 Ks.

Mo Yuzhu naturally passed as well.

Then Jessica turned to Zhang Wei with a slight smile, yet her hands moved resolutely.

"A Plane!"

In an instant, she played all her remaining 12 cards.

9s + 3 10s + 3 Js, with 3 spare cards, a total of 12 cards, played all at once.

What a play!

Zhang Wei’s eyes instantly widened, disbelief written all over his face.

"How is that possible!"

"How is it not possible?"

Jessica then smirked seductively, her eyes unconsciously glancing towards Zhang Wei’s phone.

Somebody just now seemed rather arrogant, right? Besides, didn’t he say that if he were taken out with 17 cards, he’d have to eat the phone screen?

"Hehehe, That’s for showing off, got a face full of it now, huh!"

Zhao Xiaoxiao, who’d been watching the drama unfold, suddenly burst out in tinkling laughter.

"Xiao Xiao, how’s the information gathering going?"

"How could it be done so quickly, I’m working overtime here, okay?"

Xiao Xiao pouted her little mouth and put on a sulky face.

Actually, she too wanted to play Fight the Landlord, but Zhang Wei had insisted she must gather information, which really put her in a bad mood.

Wasn’t the plan to come to Longdu for a vacation?

So, you all get to play, and I’m the only one working, is that it?

Zhang Wei, Mo Yuzhu, and Jessica were busy with the card game, and Xia Qianyue was warming up on the side; looking around, it seemed like she was the only one working.

Zhao Xiaoxiao: QAQ!

"Zhang, phone screens are quite hard, you know, do you want to boil it with water first?"

Jessica, on the other hand, suddenly blinked and gently reminded him.

"Er..." Zhang Wei was suddenly at a loss for words.

I was just joking earlier; you’re not seriously going to make me eat the phone screen, are you?

No way, no way...

"Zhang Wei!"

However, Xia Qianyue, who was stretching her legs by the window, suddenly called out.

She could feel that at the elevator entrance on their floor, the presence of several dozen people had suddenly appeared.

They radiated hostility.

And the target of their hostility was their very room.

They were coming for Zhang Wei!

"Are they here?"

Zhang Wei heaved a sigh of relief.

This group’s timing couldn’t have been better—it was the perfect diversion from his embarrassment!

"Come on, let’s go and meet them!"

Zhang Wei called out, leading Xia Qianyue out the door.

"We’ve got a spectacle to see!"

Zhao Xiaoxiao, loving chaos, immediately cheered them on.

She, along with Jessica and Mo Yuzhu, followed behind Zhang Wei as they all stepped out of the room.

The hotel’s elevators all stopped on Zhang Wei’s floor, and then opened to reveal Green Snake leading his followers out.

They were nearly 20 in number, each of them emanating an aura so fierce it was clear they were trouble.

"Boss, that kid is right in the room up ahead, we should..."

A follower was about to lead the way for his boss when suddenly the door of a room in front of them opened and their target walked out.

Not only that, the target was accompanied by one girl, and then three more girls followed them out of the room.

At this point, Green Snake and his men couldn’t keep their cool.

They were just talking about that kid and here he comes out?

"Boss, those girls with the kid are really pretty!"

"Yeah, total beauties, top-notch!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, these ladies are even prettier than the headliners in Sister Hong’s place!"

"Damn, comparing them to the girls in Sister Hong’s place? There’s absolutely no comparison at all!"

Anyway, the arrival of Xia Qianyue and Jessica certainly gave Green Snake and his minions a tremendous shock.

When Green Snake saw the girls with Zhang Wei, his eyes nearly popped out.

Then he revealed a sleazy smile.

"Hehehe, kid, you know who I am, right?"

"I haven’t had the pleasure!"

Since Xia Qianyue was by his side, Zhang Wei wasn’t even a bit nervous, but instead greeted Green Snake with cupped hands.

"I’m one of the leaders of the Qing Jiao Gang, Green Snake!"

"Oh, so you’re Snake Brother!"

Upon hearing the other party introducing himself, Zhang Wei smiled perfunctorily.

He wasn’t from Longdu, after all, so naturally, he wasn’t clear about what level of organization Qing Jiao Gang was.

Moreover, in front of real and strong martial power (my Simple-minded person), all gang members are just paper tigers!

"Kid, I was originally ordered to give you a lifelong unforgettable lesson to show you how deep Longdu waters are, but now I’ve changed my mind!"

As Snake Brother spoke, he pointed at Xia Qianyue standing next to Zhang Wei, "All these chicks are yours, right? I’ve decided, later I’ll have a few brothers hold you down, and then in front of you, I’ll ravage your women, letting you know what true despair is!"

"Good grief, what kind of Minotaur plot is this!"

Hearing Snake Brother’s words, Zhang Wei immediately retorted.

Like the Minotaur, huh? Well, I happen to be a pure love warrior, specializing in killing Minotaurs like you!

"Hmph, do it!"

Snake Brother didn’t waste words, waved his hand, and his henchmen instantly advanced toward Zhang Wei and his companions with malicious grins.

"Simple-minded person, go easy when you start, okay? Don’t accidentally kill someone!"

Seeing that his opponent was about to make a move, Zhang Wei quickly warned.

"I’ll try my best!"

Xia Qianyue nodded and advanced towards their opponents.

"Yo, this kid knows his place, huh? Realizing he can’t beat us, he sends a girl as tribute?"

"Too bad, I like that busty blonde. This chick’s chest is too small!"

"Yeah, what’s so fun about a flat chest? I like them bigger, definitely more entertaining to play with!"

A few minions laughed lewdly as Xia Qianyue approached.

And their words were, of course, clearly heard by both Xia Qianyue and Zhang Wei.

"Fuck, don’t you go courting death!"

Zhang Wei was both angry and amused.

He had seen people courting death, but never so eagerly.

He was initially thinking of telling Xia Qianyue to go easy on them, but damn it, you guys are just asking for it.

As Zhang Wei was making his remarks, Xia Qianyue had already engaged with the minions at the front.

"Sweetie, give daddy a smile. We’ll take really good care of you later!"

"Hunting for death!"

Xia Qianyue didn’t hold back and straightaway punched the face of a punk in front of her.

Bang!

The guy shot back like a cannonball, flying out and crashing into the hotel corridor wall.

Boom!

The impact’s force caved into the hotel wall, shattering the plasterboard and leaving a person-shaped indentation clearly visible.

"What the—"

It was only at this moment that the minions of Green Snake finally reacted.

The stakes had risen tremendously!

"Brothers, this chick is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. Attack together!"

Knowing that the girl in front of them was a formidable fighter, the minions didn’t hesitate and swarmed her.

Anyway, we outnumber her, the advantage is on our side!

But in reality, when the disparity between individuals is enormous, quantity cannot make up for quality.

Xia Qianyue was like a tiger descending the mountain, slapping each little buddy aside.

With a mere flick of her hand, someone would fly off, smashing into the wallboards, then crumpling with broken tendons and bones.

With a simple kick, another person would spiral through the air, crash-landing in a mess, his body nearly falling apart.

Anyway, these bullies and ruffians could never stand a chance against Xia Qianyue.

After just a few moments, the entire corridor was silent except for Green Snake standing alone; all his minions were laid out on the ground, motionless.

"This..."

Green Snake could never have imagined that the girl by Zhang Wei’s side, who seemed the most harmless (with the smallest chest), could be so terrifying in a fight.

In all honesty, he never would have guessed that the girl was a Saiyan.

plop!

Faced with such an overwhelming force, the only thing Green Snake could do was kneel and beg for mercy.

"Heroine, spare my life, I didn’t know anything, I was just joking before..."

To save his own life, Green Snake could only kneel and grovel.

Xia Qianyue came in front of him, her face cold, uttering not a word.

"Who sent you!"

Zhang Wei immediately stepped forward and confronted Green Snake.

"It was our boss who sent me!"

"And who is your boss?"

"We are the Qing Jiao Gang, so naturally, our boss is the Qing Jiao Boss. All of this was his command."

As Green Snake spoke, he wildly gestured with his hands, "You must believe me, I only know these things, everything else is under the command of Qing Jiao Boss, truly!"

"Trailing Guan Ping, following me, searching for clues in the rental property, all of these were commands from your boss, Qing Jiao?"

"Yes, yes, all of them!"

At this moment, Green Snake nodded his head like a pecking chicken, "I was actually puzzled too, why we had to focus on a water and electricity maintenance worker, and for so many days..."

"And what about that umbrella?"

"That too was the boss’s command. After taking the umbrella, we handed it over to the boss, and he was responsible for dealing with it!"

"So, the person framing Guan Ping, was it also your boss, Qing Jiao?"

"Yes, it was all him. I’m just someone who runs errands; I don’t know anything else."

"Oh, is that so!"

Zhang Wei stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then gave Green Snake a slight smile, "Then, where can we find your boss, Qing Jiao?"

"This..."

Green Snake hesitated for a moment because in the Qing Jiao Gang, revealing the location of one’s own boss is akin to betrayal.

Click-clack!

But in the next moment, Xia Qianyue moved her wrists and assumed a ready-to-fight posture.

Green Snake’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Joking aside, betraying the boss might lead to death, but if he said nothing, he was certain to meet his end today.

Sometimes, one had to submit to the greater power!

"You ask a good question, the location of the boss is always a secret within the Qing Jiao Gang, even we don’t know it clearly, but I know that the boss has actually always..."

Just as Green Snake was about to spill the beans, Xia Qianyue beside him inexplicably felt a sudden tightness in her heart.

There was a murderous intent!

Thud!

The windows of the hotel corridor suddenly shattered, and Xia Qianyue pushed Zhang Wei with force.

"Be careful, there’s danger!"

Bang!

Along with a shout, as Zhang Wei fell to the ground, he saw Green Snake maintaining his subservient posture, but his head suddenly exploded.

A sniper!

And the shot had come from outside the broken window!

"Get down, there’s a sniper!"

Zhang Wei hurriedly shouted, warning Jessica and the others behind him.

Everyone immediately lay down in the corridor, but apart from the initial sniper shot, there was no further movement for a long time.

"The killing intent has vanished, the sniper is gone!"

After a moment, Xia Qianyue, with a wary expression, finally spoke again to warn them.

If she could no longer feel the killing intent, it meant that the sniper had left.

Since the danger had passed, Zhang Wei slowly got up.

He looked at Green Snake lying in front of him, now a headless body.

"Well, this is another murder case involved!"

Zhang Wei felt helpless, what kind of case had he gotten involved in this time? The waters behind this were too deep.

He was just about to inquire about the Qing Jiao Gang boss when it seemed the only person in the know had been unhesitatingly killed by someone behind the scenes.

Zhang Wei, not one to be daunted, approached a gang member who was injured but not too severely, just with a broken leg, and pressed for information.

Unfortunately, the latter really didn’t know Qing Jiao Boss’s location.

He then questioned two others one after another, and the answer was the same each time.

Usually, it was only the leaders who discussed matters together, with the underlings lacking even the right to be involved.

Moreover, Qing Jiao Gang’s boss, Qing Jiao himself, rarely showed his face to the underlings. These Green Snake underlings had joined the gang not long ago and had never even seen the boss’s face once.

This left Zhang Wei in a difficult position.

"Since that’s the case, let’s retreat first. We can’t stay in this hotel; we should switch to another one!"

With no other option, Zhang Wei could only lead Xia Qianyue and the others back to the hotel lobby to check out.

When the lobby manager saw Zhang Wei and his group coming down, his complexion turned as sallow as if he had eaten expired durian.

Soon, Zhang Wei and the others left.

But afterward, because hotel guests reported the incident, the investigative department arrived.

The investigative department found traces of a fight upstairs, and naturally, they also discovered Green Snake’s body.

Before long, the lobby manager was taken into custody since the surveillance footage seemed to show that he had connections with Green Snake.

Never having seen such a huge operation before, the manager spilled everything he knew.

"I really don’t know anything, detectives. I was just responsible for showing Snake Brother and his men the way and opening doors for them; I wasn’t involved in anything else."

Unfortunately, the investigators did not believe him and took him away.

With Green Snake’s death, things at the hotel seemed to come to a close, but the undercurrents lingered.

Tonight was destined to be restless.
