Chapter 144: 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.

"Good to hear you don’t mind," said Liu Yuxiang, who had been smiling, but suddenly his expression changed. "However, I never expected to find out some rather unexpected things while coming to bond with everyone. Big Boss Lei, what do you say, was the attack on our Dragon Society boss done by your Small Knife Club?" Liu Yuxiang would not let the topic go so easily, and he had already caught Situ Xin’s glance at him.

Just now, when Liu Yuxiang sat down, Situ Xin had signaled him with a look, telling him to be bold.

The sweating Big Boss Lei, upon hearing Liu Yuxiang’s words, paused in shock. Looking up at Liu Yuxiang and seeing his unyielding gaze reminded him of his past glory, how he had fallen from the top, and in a heated moment, with slightly reddened eyes, he said to Liu Yuxiang, "Yes, Xia Yujie was ambushed by me, no, not just me, but us, all present here decided to hire a sniper to attack Xia Yujie."

"Big Boss Lei, shut your mouth," Fu Pengfei snapped, attempting to interrupt as soon as he sensed something wrong with Big Boss Lei, but it was too late; the words had already slipped out, and even if he tried to stop him, Big Boss Lei showed no sign of reaction.

Continuing on, Big Boss Lei said, "Hmph, Liu Yuxiang, I tell you, your Dragon Society is soon to be wiped out. The bosses of our several gangs gathered here today not to bond but to discuss how to deal with your Dragon Society and how to annihilate it all at once." After speaking, Big Boss Lei let out a triumphant laugh.

"Big Boss Lei, those are not words to be said lightly," stated Du Pengfei with a stern face and a voice seeping with murderous intent, issuing a warning.

Big Boss Lei, unfazed by Du Pengfei’s warning, retracted his laughter and said to Du Pengfei, "Du Pengfei, how is what I’m saying unfounded? Isn’t it your Green Tiger Gang who suggested we get together here today? Wasn’t it you who approached us wanting to eliminate the Dragon Society? Even Xia Yujie’s ambush was on your proposal."

As Big Boss Lei’s words kept spilling out, the expressions of the bosses present became increasingly ugly. Du Pengfei, staring at Big Boss Lei, felt his murderous intent intensifying, but Big Boss Lei ignored the expressions of the bosses there and kept on declaring to Liu Yuxiang his resolve to take down the Dragon Society.

It wasn’t that Big Boss Lei was so foolish as to reveal everything he knew at the slightest provocation. Although Big Boss Lei wasn’t as scheming as Du Pengfei, how could a man who managed to become a gang leader be completely devoid of cunning?

Big Boss Lei’s outspokenness was made possible thanks to Situ Xin’s intervention. She had been planning to find a reason to wipe out both the Green Tiger Gang and those small gangs from Capital City. To her surprise, just as they arrived, Big Boss Lei himself stepped forward, offering Situ Xin a target. She took advantage of a moment when no one was paying attention, and pricked him with a needle dipped in a drug powder she had recently developed.

The effect of the drug powder was such that once it entered a person’s body, the person would uncontrollably blurt out whatever they most wanted to say. This behavior was now a normal reaction for Big Boss Lei, who had been affected by the powder. Situ Xin was very satisfied with the effectiveness of the new drug she had concocted.
