"What does Chief Chen mean by this?" Zheng Dan's face darkened. Such a request was extremely rude, and she had to think about why the other party would make such a request.
Chen Xuan laughed and said, "It means exactly what it says. Just looking at your figure, you're already a beauty. So I've always been curious about what kind of stunning face you have under that veil."
"Chief Chen, I treated you as a guest, but you are far too ungrateful. From today onwards, all previous agreements between the Giant Whale Gang and Black Wind Stronghold are null and void," Zheng Dan was completely enraged. "Guards, show the guest out!"
She even considered taking advantage of her home field to kill him on the spot, but after hesitating for a long time, she decided against it. After all, Chen Xuan's cultivation level was too high. He had lived a carefree life despite being besieged by various experts all these years. She didn't know what other trump cards he had up his sleeve.
Since there's no way to keep him here, the only option is to expel him from the island.
She was even worried that if this guy got completely enraged and started causing trouble on the island every now and then.
However, the eerie silence around her immediately brought her to her senses. She instinctively sat up straight and looked at Liu Chan below her: "You, the head of the household, didn't you hear what I said?"
Liu Chan chuckled: "Of course we heard that, but we're also curious about what the gang leader looks like under his veil."
Zheng Dan's pupils contracted slightly as he finally understood why he had felt a strange sensation after arriving on the island. It turned out that this guy already had ulterior motives.
Upon returning with Zheng Dan, Ya Xiao slammed his fist on the table: "You surnamed Liu, what do you mean by this? How dare you be so disrespectful to the gang leader?"
"Ya Xiao, don't get agitated. Everyone knows you admire the gang leader, but after being her lackey for so many years, have you ever seen her face?" Liu Chan sneered.
“This…” Ya Xiao’s breath hitched. There really wasn’t one. He felt quite sad about it.
“Simply sucking up will only get you nothing in the end. You might as well join us on a big heist, and we’ll share the spoils then,” Liu Chan laughed.
"Shut up!" Ya Xiao trembled all over, finally unable to bear the insult to his goddess.
At this moment, Zheng Dan spoke up: "Liu Chan, I have never treated you badly, so why did you betray me?"
"Not bad?" Liu Chan sneered. "Objectively speaking, you have indeed treated us well, but you are, after all, a woman, and you are only on the island for a very short time each month. Even when you are on the island, you always wear a mask. It is already outrageous enough to let a woman be the leader, but you make it so mysterious. Which of the brothers below is not suspicious? Many of them are worried that you will sell us out without them even knowing it."
"Just because of this?" Zheng Dan frowned. In fact, she knew that being away from the headquarters for a long time would easily cause her subordinates to lose control. However, she was, after all, the eldest daughter of the Zheng family and could not stay on the island for an extended period.
Therefore, there is no solution to this problem.
However, she still tried to mitigate the impact in many ways, using a combination of kindness and strictness, and she thought the effect was quite good. Little did she know that reality would give her a harsh slap in the face.
“Of course, that’s not all,” Liu Chan continued. “Our smuggled salt business has been getting better and better over the years, but for some reason, Chief, you’ve been deliberately controlling our shipments. Not making money when you can only mean that you women are too timid. It’s okay if you’re timid, but it’s wrong to block the path to wealth for so many brothers. Since that’s the case, then we’ll find someone more capable to be our leader.”
“What do you know? It’s because… because…” Zheng Dan was furious, but he couldn’t finish his sentence.
There are some reasons I can't say.
Her purpose in establishing the Giant Whale Gang was mainly to generate revenue for the Zheng family, but the Zheng family was, after all, an official salt merchant, and could not act recklessly.
Moreover, the Sang family controls the river defense camp. If the smuggling of salt becomes too rampant, will they intervene or not?
It was only in the last two years, when the Sang family was dealing with the Chu family, that they began to reduce their shipments.
However, Sang Hong was, after all, a prefect of the imperial court, and he couldn't make things too ugly, so he never maximized the shipment volume.
There are many reasons that led to all of this, but can these reasons be spoken aloud?
The leaders of the Giant Whale Gang sneered inwardly, assuming that she was speechless.
At this moment, Chen Xuan spoke up: "Chief Guan, you don't need to be angry. Actually, it's quite tiring for a woman to show her face in public. From now on, you can be my wife, and you'll still get whatever you want. These people will still be your subordinates. Not to mention these people, even the people of Black Wind Stronghold will respectfully call you 'Sister-in-law.' You'll be many times more powerful than you are now."
"Trying to make me your wife? You're like a toad lusting after a swan!" Zheng Dan spat, his tone full of contempt.
She comes from a wealthy and noble family, and her fiancé's family is a prefectural governor. With such a distinguished background, why would she be interested in a gangster like her?
No matter how famous Chen Xuan became, he was still just a bandit leader.
They will be wiped out by the government sooner or later.
“Toad…” Chen Xuan’s expression turned cold, and his tone changed. “Guan, what do you think you are? It’s already a great blessing for you that I’m making you my bandit’s wife. Otherwise, once you’re under the influence of the drug, I’ll throw you to your men for a round after I’m done with you. I imagine they would be very interested in serving their former boss.”
The group led by Liu Chan all looked at her with burning eyes.
Normally, this beautiful gang leader is aloof and mysterious. Which man on the island hasn't fantasized about pinning her down and ravaging her in the dead of night?
Previously, I could only dream about it, but today I actually have the chance to get close to her.
"Medicinal properties? What medicinal properties!" Zheng Dan's heart skipped a beat.
Chen Xuan couldn't help but laugh: "I'm always a cautious person. Although I don't think your cultivation level is higher than mine, you are, after all, the leader of a gang. I was worried that you might have some special abilities, so I had them put some medicine in your tea just now."
Zheng Dan hadn't panicked much even when he learned of his subordinates' betrayal, but now his expression had completely changed, and he suddenly looked at the teacup from before.
Little did she expect that she would be drugged by her own people on her own turf.
She hurriedly tried to expel the poison by circulating her internal energy, but Chen Xuan shook his head: "It's no use. My medicine is called 'Eighteen Degrees of Spring Breeze.' Its effects are quite peculiar. While others experience spring breeze only once, after being poisoned by this medicine, one must go through it eighteen times to be completely detoxified. Otherwise, one will be consumed by lust and die from the explosion of desire."
After a pause, he added, "To be honest, I'm not even sure if I have the ability to do it eighteen times in one night, but luckily I have you guys to help me, hahaha~"
"Shameless!" Zheng Dan was both ashamed and furious. She found that she could not force the poison out at all, and her body was getting hotter and hotter. So she simply attacked Chen Xuan directly, intending to fight him to the death before the effects of the drug took hold.

It's not that I despise you, but everyone here is trash!
If you were really asked to help Zheng Dan detoxify, I doubt any of you would have the ability!
Honestly, did it or not?
