Chapter 827: The Precursor to Division

"Are you saying this is related to what happened ten years ago?" Hua Qingyi once asked Hua Muyun about the investigation following Lian’s trip to the Middle East and her return to China, whether her amnesia had indeed led to a leak of Dragon Soul’s secrets. No matter the reason, there was an unavoidable responsibility. At that time, Hua Muyun simply remained silent; he likely understood the matter but chose not to speak of it. "How did you manage to keep those old men quiet? I mean bringing Lian out of Dragon Soul."

"If Dragon Soul were to execute Lian, at the time, I was ready to take an opposing stance. The one who smoothed things over was my old man; he came to the farm to find me, persuading me that becoming the heir could resolve everything, including Lian, a symbol of power."

"If that’s the case, one thing is certain: Lian’s assignment to the Middle East was not merely to force you to become the heir. Perhaps, at that time, your old man was unaware of the division within Dragon Soul."

"You’re saying whoever assigned Lian the mission is the most suspicious."

"I truly don’t want to get involved in the matters from ten years ago, but you wonder why, among those who survived the family experiment, only Mu Rongyun mutated, while I remained unaffected? Mu Rongyun’s mutation began with Dragon Soul, and have you heard anything about it within Dragon Soul recently? Where are those who attended to Mu Rongyun? The key is why Dragon Soul needs to be rebuilt. I’ve seen those underground pipelines, twisted and complex.

"Brother, you’re very agitated." Hua Qingyi temporarily set aside one question after another, observing Xiao Lin’s heaving chest with interest. "You haven’t noticed how fast your heart is beating right now; what are you so excited about?"

"I don’t want to investigate this, but someone forces me to head in that direction."

"Mu Rongyun?"

"No, it’s Liang Hu!"

This was the issue Hua Qingyi least wanted to discuss. He had never witnessed it firsthand and couldn’t believe Xiao Lin’s words. The trust from intuition and actual verification are completely different things.

Hua Qingyi fell silent. He couldn’t find a reason to persuade Xiao Lin to give up. Perhaps, in turn, he wanted to seize this opportunity to verify if this possibility truly existed, leaving him conflicted.

"Liang Hu or Mu Rongyun, Dragon Soul is the root."

"Let’s go!"

The sky had fully embraced darkness. On the open ground, looking up, one could see a sky full of stars. Tomorrow would be a good day.

Yan Juanjuan had been thrown to the ground from a height, groaning intermittently from the pain that felt like her bones were about to disintegrate. Ye Zi had changed into a clean white robe, kneeling by a woman who seemed angelic, forming a contrast with another beautiful woman clad in red.

"You’ve made my guest look quite unsightly." The woman seated in the middle spoke slowly, her starry eyes inadvertently glancing at the woman sitting to the side.

"It was my fault." Ye Zi lowered her head, barely breathing a word.

"Hmm!" The woman lay sideways, lazily appearing as if she were about to fall asleep, completely inactive. Yan Juanjuan struggled out of the sack, looking up to see an indescribably beautiful woman. For a moment, she forgot her fear, her serene sleeping face resembling an innocent angel. She truly wondered if white wings might suddenly unfurl behind her, while the expression on Master Ma beside her could only be described as petrified.

Never in his life had he seen such pure beauty; if he were asked to die for this woman, he would have no complaints. He automatically ignored the low, deep voice, wishing instead to imagine her as a pure angel rather than a devil in Hell.

The woman was asleep, so no one dared raise their voice or foolishly disturb her rest. Having seen the world, Master Ma wisely chose to remain silent, but Yan Juanjuan being less obedient, cried out after a brief trance.

With her eyes closed, the woman’s eyelashes fluttered slightly before she slowly opened them, a cold light flashing in her eyes. "Slap her!"

"What?" Before Yan Juanjuan could react, intense pain suddenly flared on both cheeks, each blow heavy and forceful, with no softening due to her being a woman. The slaps continued effectively, silencing her.

"Here, one must learn etiquette; this isn’t your Hengfei Group, there’s no need to put on your high-and-mighty face." The low, deep voice slowly echoed, and the enforcer stepped aside.

Yan Juanjuan’s face was so swollen it was unrecognizable. Tears and snot mixed with terror streamed from her eyes and nose, which she wiped clean with her sleeve before collapsing on the ground.

Having seen an example, Master Ma was less likely to speak or act rashly. He had heard of Fourth Master but never met her; heartless and ruthless were merely compliments. Discussions no longer focused on her appearance and voice but rather her methods. It was wise not to be targeted by this person, lest the consequences be unbearable. He couldn’t remember whose mouth he heard this from, but he hadn’t felt its full impact until now, just imagining her using forceful methods to solve problems.

"Master Ma?" The suddenly named man jumped slightly, responding.

"Yes, Fourth Master!"

"I’ve heard you’re dissatisfied with the current state, aren’t you?" Her long eyelashes fluttered again as Fourth Master brought a long smoking pipe to her lips, inhaling deeply. The rich scent of tobacco mingled with a faint tea aroma lingered in the air.

"No, absolutely no dissatisfaction." Master Ma hurriedly denied, sensing her foul mood.

"Liar!" Without seeing who, Master Ma’s left cheek received a hard slap, he dared not curse, not get angry, not shout, just endure! "Isn’t it said that a cornered dog will leap over a wall? Show me a jump, I’ve never seen one."

"Fourth Master, please calm down, it was my overconfidence and lack of foresight, I absolutely meant no betrayal to Fourth Master."

"Haha, I bet you wouldn’t dare to do anything improper," Fourth Master chuckled, exhaling more smoke.

"Fourth Master! The matter you asked me to investigate has some leads." Like trying to curry favor, Master Ma bent over hoping to use the information to win this woman’s favor.

"Speak here, aside from the dead, everyone here is one of us." This sentence inadvertently sealed Yan Juanjuan’s fate; she wanted to scream, but feared angering this woman more, praying that someone might save her, but her hopes dwindled to only prayer.

"The blue minivan that’s been appearing in the northern district originates from an unexpected region near the Russia border."

"That’s all?"

"Ah, no!" Master Ma wished he could hit his own mouth, still trying to show off at this moment. "Currently, my subordinates can only find out that the car comes from a mysterious family, rarely interacting domestically or abroad, very secretive. The people sent over, none returned alive, so not much useful information was obtained."

"All dead?" Fourth Master asked with emphasis on two words.

"Yes, the bodies were transported from elsewhere and placed at the entrance of our Horse Gang." Mentioning this point, Master Ma felt unspeakable anger, which was undoubtedly a blatant humiliation.

"Hehe, Master Ma must feel quite humiliated!" Fourth Master chuckled lightly, serenity hung at the corner of her mouth, instantly enchanting Master Ma with her, willing to die now if he could have this woman for a night, still lost in the beautiful illusion, his left cheek was slapped hard again. "Next time it’ll be your heart."

"Yes!" Even imagining was a luxury.

"Master Ma, go back and appease your men well, I don’t want to hear any more complaints, anyone unwilling to work with me will end up like Yao Zheng."

"Fourth Master, rest assured, I will pacify my men well until your further command."

"That’s best, escort Master Ma out."

"Fourth Master!"

"Hm?"

"I have a question for Fourth Master, wonder if it’s appropriate now."

"Master Ma, no need to be so reserved, speak freely."

"Yao Zheng is dead, now the northern district..."

"What? Yao Zheng is dead?" Yan Juanjuan suddenly raised her head, realizing her mistake, she was already being lifted up.

"Put her down first, ignore her." Fourth Master frowned, eyes on Master Ma. "What do you want to ask?"

"The Horse Gang’s power isn’t in the northern district..."

"Is Master Ma worried?" As soon as Master Ma spoke, Fourth Master instantly interrupted him. "Right now the northern district can’t make any more moves, if you’re uneasy, you can leave first, staying in the northern district also attracts attention, now the entire Yanjing Poison Dragon Gang and Liger Gang have been wiped out, if your Horse Gang wants to make a name, seems like something’s still missing."

"Frankly to Fourth Master, our Horse Gang really hopes for enough funds to expand connections, so hope to restart soon, can Fourth Master give our Horse Gang a hopeful timeline."

"Master Ma’s courage isn’t ordinary, so far no one dares to challenge me like this." Fourth Master smiled instead of being angry.

"I know I’m overstepping now, but even if Fourth Master wants to do something to me, I won’t complain, just my brothers need to eat, I have to support their families."

"Hm, got it, wait a moment." Fourth Master finally sat up from her divan, she came before Yan Juanjuan, looking at the disfigured person, tsking, her urge to lift her chin vanished instantly. "Master Ma, what do you think of this woman?"

"Master Ma doesn’t understand Fourth Master’s meaning."

"Being a leader of a gang is indeed tiring, this woman has my batch of goods, now causing me a headache, what do you suggest doing?" (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.)
