If time were to stop and one were to observe this scene closely, the expression on each person's face would be slightly different in the first second.
Huang Chunling's eyes were cold and resolute. She stared intently at Jiulong, exuding an aura of authority that seemed to freeze every cell in his body.
Beneath his serious expression lay a deep-seated murderous intent.
Jiulong's repeated provocations had pushed her to her limit. Even though she had previously considered letting him go out of gratitude for his achievements over the years, she was now determined to make him disappear from the world.
Cao He's face was as gloomy as winter frost, as if he shared Huang Chunling's hatred of the enemy, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with Jiu Long's actions.
However, the way he kept glancing at Huang Chunling revealed his inner unease.
If Jiulong has to die, then Caohe is definitely the first person in the room who wants him to die immediately and shut up completely.
Susan's face was beaming with a smug smile. The impending punishment of Jiulong was undoubtedly a cause for celebration for her.
Qian Chuan spotted Chuan Liu and Wu Fangming in the crowd first.
His previously indifferent gaze instantly sharpened, and without any hesitation, he connected all the previous events to Chuanliu.
His intuition told him that the girl's appearance was no accident, but he didn't know what role Chuanliu played in it.
The others gathered around Huang Chunling, protecting her. They kept their eyes on Jiulong, fearing that he might suddenly go berserk and pounce on them.
However, Jiulong had already been detained by Wu Fangming's men. These people were just trying to make their presence known to Huang Chunling.
At this moment, Jiulong was suddenly overwhelmed by a massive amount of information, and he seemed to have his soul emptied, standing there dumbfounded.
His eyes were empty and lifeless, and he kept muttering, "Gone, gone, everything is gone..."
Zhuge Wu sighed softly and remained silent.
Wu Fangming clasped his hands in a fist salute to Huang Chunling and asked, "President Chunling, what do you think should be done with Jiulong?"
Huang Chunling sighed slightly, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes as she looked at Jiulong, but she responded decisively: "Jiulong is beyond redemption. Please trouble Mr. Wu to deal with him."
Jiulong, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised it upon hearing these words, his eyes filled with terror.
He shouted, "No! No! I..."
His eyes unconsciously glanced at Cao He, while his finger trembled as he pointed at Chuan Liu, as if he wanted to ask for help or convey some message.
However, at this critical moment of life and death, he was no longer able to fully express what was in his heart.
Wu Fangming gave Jiulong no chance; he raised his knife and brought it down swiftly and decisively.
The man's eyes were wide open, as if they were about to pop out, his pupils filled with terror, and his expression remained frozen in that moment.
As Wu Fangming moved, Jiulong instinctively covered his neck with both hands, but blood was already gushing out from between his fingers.
After a brief stiffness, his body fell limply to the ground, which was quickly stained red with his blood.
The former boss of the red-light district lost his life on the way to the red-light district.
His blood and the land where he once dominated the world are forever intertwined.
Everyone sighed, some with regret, some with admiration, and some with relief that things had finally settled down.
Huang Chunling stepped forward and said to Chuanliu and Wu Fangming, "Thank you so much, Mr. Wu and Chuanliu. If it weren't for Chuanliu bringing Mr. Wu to help, Jiulong might have done something very different."
Chuanliu smiled slightly, "Chunling, you're too kind. After I was assassinated and lost my memory, it was you who sent people to comfort me and brought me so many tonics. Otherwise, I might still be someone who doesn't remember anything and can't recognize people."
Huang Chunling nodded in satisfaction and replied officially, "You are a key member of the City of Cubes, and I will not allow my subordinates to do anything to harm our friends in the City of Hearts. That incident was Aaron's fault, and he has now received the punishment he deserves. This is karma, isn't it?"
She paused, then looked at Zhuge Wu, "As for Zhuge Tang..."
Chuanliu quickly said, "Zhugetang helped Jiulong because of their contract, not their own intention. Now that Jiulong is dead, the contract is terminated. I think the Wudang family shouldn't have any objections, right?"
Zhuge Wu scratched his cheek and nodded.
After dealing with Jiulong's matter, Huang Chunling sighed and said, "Susan."
Upon hearing her name called, Susan quickly stepped forward, "President Chunling."
"Take your men and clean this place up," Huang Chunling said, her eyes carrying a warning.
Jiulong is dead, but the cause was ultimately the infighting between Susan and Jiulong, so Susan is also partly to blame.
Susan readily agreed.
Then, Huang Chunling addressed the group, saying, "When Extreme Fox arrived on the island, his identity was 'Nine of Hearts,' and he is also the holder of the 'Nine of Hearts' identity card. I'd like to appoint him as the new 'Nine of Hearts.' Does anyone have any objections?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Huang Chunling: "As for the '7 of Hearts' and '8 of Hearts,' there will be no succession; I will appoint them separately later. Susan will temporarily take over the red-light district's operations."
Originally, the red-light district and the Red Peach Casino were evenly matched. Now that the three top managers of the red-light district have all fallen from power, and the management can't give up this lucrative business, it can only be handed over to Susan.
For others, this might be a lucrative opportunity, but for Susan, who has her own things to do, it's undoubtedly a heavy burden. Especially considering the many compromises made in previous collaborations between the three Long Dong brothers, Susan might have to fill those gaps.
But Susan couldn't refuse.
Her actions had already angered management, and hiring thugs to help the entire team had drained her finances. Therefore, despite having many other problems to deal with, Susan had no choice but to take on this hot potato.
After dealing with these matters, Huang Chunling smiled slightly and said calmly, "Alright, then I won't stay any longer. Let's go."
With that, she led the other high-ranking officials and the people from the City of Hearts away from there.
Susan led Sun Qianfan and their respective men to clean up the battlefield, leaving only Chuanliu, Wu Fangming, Zhuge Wu, Qian Chuan, Jihu, and others present.
Seeing that the others remained silent, Qian Chuan seemed to sense something.
He chuckled self-deprecatingly. "What? Is there something I can't say?"
Chuanliu raised an eyebrow. "Why would Brother Qian think that way? I'm just a local from Chaoyang who helps those in need."
"Is that so?" Qian Chuan chuckled.
"Think what you want," Chuanliu shrugged, took out a memory card from his pocket, and handed it to Zhuge Wu.
