Zuan puffed out his chest and said, "Why don't you go out and ask around? I'm an honest young man, and I never lie."
"Alright, I'll believe you this time." Plum Blossom Four thought to himself, "Why does this person's appearance seem so different from what he described?"
Unfortunately, nowadays we are at their mercy, and he has no choice but to accept it.
Zu An ran over and put his arm around Xie Xiu's shoulder, then slipped him a silver note: "Brother Xie, you take everyone to have a good meal first, I'll come later."
Shang Liuyu's noble character made him feel that giving her money would be an insult, so he could only turn to Xie Xiu.
Xie Xiu frowned: "Why would I need your money? Take it back."
Zu An laughed and said, "I know you, Young Master Xie, are rich, but I should be the one treating today. It's only right that I pay."
"Alright," Xie Xiu said, relieved. "But what exactly are you going to do, Azu?"
"I just have some urgent business to attend to," Zu'an said ambiguously, then ran to tell Shang Liuyu.
Hearing that he had to leave, Shang Liuyu was a little surprised, but she didn't ask any questions and let him go.
Xie Xiu then ran over to Shang Liuyu eagerly, saying, "Teacher Shang, I know a newly opened restaurant with very unique dishes. This way, please."
Shang Liuyu simply smiled politely and then slowly walked forward.
Xie Xiu followed behind, feeling a little contemptuous of herself. She was usually so at ease in front of those young ladies, but in front of Teacher Shang, she was like a lapdog.
However, Ms. Shang's temperament was so outstanding that she was completely different from his previous women, so much so that he unconsciously became humble.
Meanwhile, Zuan took Plum Blossom Four away, then changed into the clothes of an ordinary member of the Plum Blossom Gang. During this time, he asked Zuan in detail about some precautions, and then followed him to the place agreed upon with the Giant Whale Gang.
He had originally planned to ask the academy for help, but Shang Liuyu was not known for her cultivation level, and he was worried that if he took her there, she might get hurt, and he would regret it.
Furthermore, it was learned from Plum Blossom Four that the leader of the Giant Whale Gang was always mysterious and cautious, and that too many people could easily arouse his suspicion.
Furthermore, the agreed meeting time was fast approaching, and there was no time to notify the Chu family to send troops, so he simply went alone.
Whether to fight or flee, it will be convenient. With his current cultivation level and several life-or-death experiences, he is confident that he can protect himself without any problem.
Besides, he wasn't going to fight this time; he was just going to gather intelligence. How could anyone possibly recognize him as a "servant"?
To be on the safe side, he also specifically
We arrived at the Yipin Restaurant in the city and headed to the agreed-upon private room.
While they were downstairs, several burly-looking men stopped them. After checking that they had no weapons, they gave a wink to the people upstairs.
Meanwhile, their companions went outside to scout, and only after confirming that there were no followers were they allowed to leave.
Zu An thought to himself that they were being so careful, making it seem like a gangster meeting in a TV drama.
But then he thought, isn't the current Giant Whale Gang just a criminal organization?
Upon arriving at a private room on the second floor, someone opened the door.
Mei Hua Si swallowed hard, clearly quite nervous. Zu An placed his hand on Mei Hua Si's lower back, partly to encourage him and partly as a silent threat.
Left with no other choice, Mei Hua Si had to bite the bullet and go inside, while Zu An followed behind, quietly observing the surroundings.
Unlike the heavily guarded exterior, the interior was nearly deserted and felt empty.
There was only one figure sitting at the table. Zu An glanced at him and his heart skipped a beat: "The leader of the Giant Whale Gang is a woman?"
She was not only a woman, but also a very beautiful woman.
Although her face was veiled, her well-proportioned figure and delicate features revealed her charm.
For some reason, he felt that the other person's eyes were somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place where he had seen them before.
After a fleeting glance, he quickly lowered his head. He didn't dare to stare at the other person for too long, after all, he was now Plum Blossom Fourth's subordinate, and in principle, he shouldn't look around recklessly.
"I...I've met the gang leader..." Plum Blossom Four hadn't expected the Giant Whale Gang leader to be such a stunning beauty. Despite his nervousness, he couldn't help but swallow hard, his eyes constantly glancing at her long legs that were crossed and placed diagonally under the table.
The woman giggled, her voice captivating and alluring: "Plum Blossom Four, you're too kind. From now on, we're all on the same side. By the way, did you bring your things?"
"The things...the things are here." Plum Blossom Fourth broke out in a cold sweat instantly, because most of the land deeds and silver notes had just been confiscated, and now he only had a few real ones on him, the rest were just for show.
"Then let me see it~" The woman stretched out her hand in front of him, revealing a soft, fair hand.
Mei Hua Si swallowed hard, cursing Zu An to death in his heart. He was thinking about the words Zu An had just taught him when he suddenly heard the woman opposite him exclaim "Eh!"
"What's wrong with the leader?" Plum Blossom Four noticed that the other party was looking up at his subordinates behind him, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Who are these people?" The leader of the Giant Whale Gang tapped the table lightly with his finger, looking at the group with a playful expression.
"Reporting to the leader, they are all my subordinates. They are not very worldly and have never seen much of the world. If they have offended you in any way, please forgive them," Plum Blossom Four hurriedly said.
"You're overthinking it. I was just asking casually." The girl chuckled and stood up, walking slowly to the group of people. "I was just lamenting that the Plum Blossom Gang is now fragmented. These people are still willing to follow you, so they must be loyal and brave."
Mei Hua Si took out a handkerchief and wiped the fine sweat from his forehead: "Yes, yes, these guys have always been quite loyal to me, so I thought I'd bring them along to join the gang leader this time."
The girl giggled: "I've always admired talented people, especially these handsome young men."
Zuan frowned slightly, feeling that something was amiss.
Logically speaking, as the leader of the Giant Whale Gang, when discussing serious matters with Plum Blossom, why would he care about the affairs of his subordinates?
Could it be that I have revealed a flaw somewhere?
But that shouldn't be the case. He thought his acting skills were good enough, and he didn't reveal any flaws just now. It's impossible for anyone from the Giant Whale Gang to recognize me.
Thinking this way, he gradually calmed down, so as not to reveal anything unusual and let the other party notice something.
"I'm glad the leader likes it, I'm glad he likes it," Plum Blossom said with a fawning smile.
"This one seems to be the most handsome." At this moment, the girl had already moved to Zaun's side.
Zu An suddenly smelled a peculiar fragrance, and his expression immediately changed. He finally understood everything, but it was too late. The girl made a lightning-fast move and directly sealed several vital acupoints on his body.
