Chapter 798: Chapter 793 A Helpless Remark

"Liu Yue! You actually betrayed me?"

Zhang Mengjie suddenly turned her head and stared coldly at the sister she had brought with her.

"She didn’t betray you but rather she chose to turn from darkness to light," Qiao Ba chuckled.

This time at the feast, Zhang Yuxuan and her sister had brought only this highly skilled sister with them.

However, the sudden turn of events caught them off guard.

"I’m sorry, Sister Zhang, I don’t want my future to be dark," the woman said coldly.

"Hahaha, Snake Zhang, aren’t you surprised?" the man laughed and said, "Snake Zhang, I really respect you, I truly do. Unfortunately, you’re really not cut out for the underworld. Today’s underworld is all about money, power, and authority. You have none of it, you don’t even engage in the basic drugs, gambling, and other bad businesses. Relying merely on a few bars, do you think you can support that pack of wolves under you? Once a gangster, always a gangster, setting up a virtuous front, do you think this is still the underworld?"

"Oh? So you mean to say the underworld must involve drugs, gambling, and other bad businesses?" Lin Zifeng asked, his empty gaze revealing a slight, sinister smile.

"Kid, do you believe I can shoot you down with one arrow!"

The thug who Lin Zifeng had beaten stared with his eyes wide, pointing a cold arrow at him.

"Well, that depends on whether your arrows are fast enough," Lin Zifeng smiled lightly.

Qiao Ba casually snatched the Hand Arrow from the thug and gave Lin Zifeng a slight smile, saying, "Mr. Lin, I know you’re formidable, but today, you might not have a chance."

"You can try," Lin Zifeng smiled lightly.

"Mr. Lin, are you threatening me?"

"It doesn’t exactly count as a threat, you can think of it as intimidation."

"Is that so? Then I, Qiao Ba, must see if Mr. Lin has the ability," Qiao Ba said, then snapped his fingers.

The door to the private room was suddenly kicked open, and two strong men pushed a young girl in from outside.

Instantly, Lin Zifeng’s pupils dilated!!!

His empty eyes were like two ferocious arrows!

The girl who appeared was none other than Lin Chuqing, whom he hadn’t seen for days!

"Mr. Lin, do you still doubt my capabilities, Qiao Ba?"

Qiao Ba gestured, and another tall, beautiful woman walked into the room from outside. Her face was pale, and her expression was ice-cold, as if all the men in the world owed her millions.

"Liu Yunfei!"

Zhang Yuxuan exclaimed.

"Sorry, Sister Zhang."

The woman was indeed Liu Yunfei, mentioned previously as the betrayer of their Butterfly Gang by the Star Society.

"Hehe, I guess you guys have nothing to say now, do you?"

Qiao Ba, puffing on his cigarette, walked up to Lin Chuqing and said, "Mr. Lin, you shouldn’t have forgotten her, right? We took quite some time to investigate you, and it turns out you have such a blind sister—not exactly obvious."

"Brother, brother! Is it you? Brother!"

Lin Chuqing suddenly heard someone mention Lin Zifeng’s name. The girl tried to lift her head in search of the voice, but being blind, she couldn’t locate Lin Zifeng.

"It’s me," Lin Zifeng said, his voice ice cold.

"Brother, don’t worry about me. Chuqing knows they’re all bad people. Brother, don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine. They won’t do anything to me, for them, to them I’m just a blind girl, they won’t bother with me."

Chuqing stubbornly shook her head, her blindness not affecting her clarity in the slightest.

This morning when she was selling flowers on the street corner, she was suddenly caught and she realized something.

In her heart, she kept thinking, don’t involve my brother, don’t involve my brother.

However, just as Lin Chuqing had finished speaking, Lin Zifeng’s body blurred like a shadow, instantly rushing forward.

His hands shot forward, tightly grabbing the wrists of one of the men, with a loud snap.

The man grimaced in pain, and Lin Zifeng’s other hand was already smashing into the other man’s face.

In the blink of an eye, before they could react, both men were taken down by Lin Zifeng.

After retrieving Lin Chuqing, Lin Zifeng pulled her into his arms, caressing her head tenderly, and whispered, "Just consider tonight a dream, as if nothing happened."

As the words left his lips, Lin Chuqing, as if hypnotized, collapsed limply into Lin Zifeng’s arms.

"Sorry, Lord Qiao!"

At that moment, the woman who had been pointing the arrow at Zhang Mengjie’s head suddenly turned the cold and hollow arrow toward Qiao Ba’s head!

"Haha, I knew you weren’t reliable!"

At the instant Lin Zifeng grabbed Lin Chuqing, Qiao Ba had just come to his senses. The woman he had bribed had turned around and bitten him back.

"Really? How about me?"

Then, another cold arrow was pressed against Qiao Ba’s head.

The owner of this arrow was Zhang Mengjie’s right-hand woman, Liu Yunfei!

"You! You betrayed me too?" the man’s face changed dramatically, only then realizing something.

"No, I was never part of your Star Society to begin with, so where is the betrayal?" the woman sneered.

Zhang Mengjie’s bewitching gaze glanced at Lin Zifeng. She didn’t know the relationship between the blind girl and Lin Zifeng, but now, the plan she had laid out was slowly unfolding.

"Lord Qiao, did you ever dream you’d see this day?" Zhang Mengjie said coquettishly.

Planting Liu Yunfei had always been her plan; having her own power in Zhonghai demonstrated that Zhang Mengjie’s wisdom was never inferior to any criminal mastermind.

"Very well! To think that the plan I meticulously arranged was being manipulated by someone else without my knowledge, it seems I, Qiao Ba, really have grown old."

The small-time thieves around him saw their boss being targeted by Hand Arrow, each of them turning pale with fear, all concerned for their own escape.

"Qiao Ba! Do you remember me?"

Just then, the private room’s door was suddenly kicked open.

Shao Huo appeared, holding a sharp long sword, striding in from the outside.

His gaze was filled with fervent madness as he stared intently at Qiao Ba.

Just as the punk at the door was about to point the Hand Arrow at Shao Huo,

the sharp Sword Radiance suddenly flashed.

Sput.

A bloody arm was instantly chopped off.

The little punk, clutching his continuously bleeding arm, rolled around on the floor in agony.

Shao Huo took a step forward, pointing his blood-stained sword tip at Qiao Ba, and sneered coldly, "Surprised, aren’t you? Bet you didn’t expect me to still be alive."

"You! When did you get here!"

Qiao Ba, always as stable as Tai Mountain, finally showed agitation. His face turned ashen, especially when Shao Huo chopped off the arm of that punk, spraying his face with blood reeking heavily of iron.

Even the Zhang sisters were greatly surprised.

Zifeng passed the unconscious Lin Chuqing to Zhang Yuxuan’s arms, saying indifferently, "You go ahead and take her out first."

A bewildered Zhang Yuxuan glanced at Zifeng, said nothing, and quickly left with the unconscious Meng Chuqing.

At this moment, only the pale-faced punks, including Qiao Ba whose face was also looking very bad, were left in the room.

Facing deadly dangers, the color of death finally showed on Qiao Ba’s face.

He stared at Zifeng in terror and anger, grinding his teeth, "Did you orchestrate all of this?"

Zifeng shrugged his shoulders, nonchalantly saying, "I wonder if Boss Ba has ever heard an old saying."

"What saying?!"

Qiao Ba asked.

"Heaven’s act we can survive, own act we cannot revive."

"Humph! Do you really think that by killing me, you can escape? Haven’t you seen how many of our Star Society’s people are out there? Even if I, Qiao Ba, fall into your hands today, you’ll never get out alive!"

Qiao Ba, eyes red, scanned all those present with a fierce gaze.

"Qiao Ba, do you really think your calculations were flawless?"

Shao Huo coldly looked at him and said, "I was trapped by your beauty trap before; do you think I’d fall for the same trick twice?"

"Forgot to tell you, those little punk thieves you set up outside have all been wiped out. If you don’t believe me, take a look out the window and see how many of your Star Society people are left," Shao Huo pointed at the window and sneered.

Click!

Qiao Ba’s face dramatically changed. Hearing Shao Huo’s words, he hurried to the window and instantly turned pale.

The scene before his eyes was terrifying enough to make him contemplate death.

Below stood one hundred and eight members of the Martial Arts Society, each standing like ancient War Gods!!!

Each one looked extremely spirited, having killed who knows how many of Star Society’s little thieves; they had been completely slaughtered without Qiao Ba’s knowledge!

"You!"

Furious, Qiao Ba turned his head only to find that cold weapons were already pointed at his neck.

"Boss Qiao Ba, surprised, aren’t you?" Shao Huo pressed on, bringing his gloomy face close, revealing a somewhat fierce expression.

Zifeng said nothing, turning with Zhang Mengjie to walk toward the outside.

This was a private matter between Shao Huo and Qiao Ba.

He felt there was no need for him to intervene any longer.

Sure enough, just as Zifeng and Zhang Mengjie had left the room, heartbreaking screams filled the air from inside, and all the little punk thieves were so scared that they hid in the corners, not daring to move an inch.

"After such a big favor, how do you plan on thanking me?" Zifeng pulled out a cigarette, offering one to Zhang Mengjie.

The woman did not refuse, took the cigarette, and smoked it skillfully.

Squinting her enchanting eyes, she purred, "You knew today already, didn’t you?"

"What?" Zifeng asked, puzzled.

"Stop pretending, I’m asking if you knew that Liu Yunfei and the others were pre-arranged by me," Zhang Mengjie said.

In her eyes, Zifeng, who could remain so composed, must have guessed some of her plans.

With his capabilities, if he wanted to know about her plot to trap Qiao Ba, it certainly wouldn’t be difficult.

"Sorry, I really don’t understand what you’re talking about. With my intelligence, how could I possibly know about your plan?" Zifeng grinned, gently blowing out the smoke swirling around his lips.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Mengjie suddenly pressed her lips against his, fervently sucking in the rings of smoke Zifeng exhaled, a look of satisfaction on her face as her seductive body leaned lightly against the door frame, whispering softly, "What exactly are you trying to achieve with all this?"

"Nothing really, just simply wanted to help you," Zifeng said without reservation.
