They surrounded Gu Liyan, seemingly about to attack. Gu Liyan glanced at the few restless individuals in the crowd and coldly addressed the murderous man:
"I don't want trouble, but please don't mess with me!"
The murderer waved to a few people in the crowd, signaling them to leave. The burly men obediently left and dispersed the crowd.
In the blink of an eye, the crowd dispersed, leaving only Gu Liyan and the murderer standing in place.
The killer, Qiang, approached Gu Liyan and said, "Brother, you kindly reminded me earlier, which made me miss the opportunity to catch the assassin!"
Gu Liyan squinted at him. "You know it was me who reminded you, and now you're blaming me for ruining your plans? Do you have any conscience at all?"
When Gu Liyan spoke to him like that, Killer Qiang stared at Gu Liyan with wide eyes, somewhat unable to believe that someone would dare to speak to him like that.
Instead of getting angry, he burst into laughter. "Brother, you don't know who I, Killer Qiang, am, do you?"
Gu Liyan frowned. "Murderer? Who is he?"
Killer Qiang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Brother, you really are a fearless newborn calf!"
Gu Liyan squinted at him, somewhat disliking the analogy: "I'm not a calf, and you're not a tiger!"
Killer Qiang was amused by Gu Liyan again. "Alright, alright, you're right! Brother, if you don't mind, let's have lunch together?"
Gu Liyan frowned, about to refuse, when suddenly a gasp rang out from behind him:
"Holy crap—Brother Xiaoqiang!"
Upon hearing this voice, Gu Liyan couldn't help but roll her eyes. Apart from that fatso, no one else would bring in new words from this world on their own!
Murderer Qiang turned his head in confusion and looked over curiously. His exclamation "Holy crap!" was just too hilarious!
Fatty Duxiu held a steamed bun in each hand. He excitedly threw the buns on the ground as he watched Qiang, the murderer, yelling, "Hahaha! Brother Qiang, I've missed you so much!"
Upon seeing Duxiu, Murderer Qiang's face broke into a wide smile. "You little fatty, you're still alive! Tell me, where have you run off to this time?"
"Hehe, I've been exposed, so I'm back to my old ways!" Du Xiu said shyly.
"I told you to stop lying to people. If you crash one day, you're finished!" Killer Qiang patted Duxiu on the shoulder, making no attempt to hide his intentions. "Tell me, which idiot with no sense of direction was fooled by your clueless guide this time?"
Gu Liyan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but twitch his lips: Damn it, who are you calling an idiot!
Upon hearing Qiang's sarcastic words, Du Xiu's face turned pale. He seemed to sense the killing intent emanating from Gu Liyan. He swallowed hard and whispered in Qiang's ear, "Brother Qiang, this is the man."
After saying that, Duxiu gestured towards Gu Liyan's direction with his lip.
Killer Qiang looked at Gu Liyan with a surprised expression. "This young man is your client? My God, he's no ordinary person. You dare to fool him? Is he so easily fooled?"
Gu Liyan gritted her teeth so hard they were grinding together, her mind practically screaming, "Could you please whisper a little quieter? I heard everything! And do you think I'm really that easy to fool?!"
Gu Liyan didn't want to explain anything; saying more would only bring tears!
Surrounded by his murderous intent, Du Xiu finally learned his lesson and stopped talking about it: "Brother Qiang, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I also have something to ask you. It's time to cooperate and strengthen our relationship!"
The powerful killer waved his hand magnanimously, "Of course! But if it's a collaboration with that young master Murong, then forget it."
"Ahem, I won't make things difficult for you." Upon hearing the words "Young Master Murong," Du Xiu felt completely disoriented.
"By the way, Brother Qiang, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's go to Tianxiang Restaurant together! I'll treat you, you pay the bill! How about it?" Du Xiu rubbed his hands together, his mouth practically watering, and grinned at Gu Liyan.
Gu Liyan glared at Duxiu: You took so many gold leaves from me and you're still a miser! Who would be stupid enough to invite you to dinner?
But--
Without even blinking, Killer Qiang nodded and said without hesitation, "Okay! You treat, I'll pay!"
Gu Liyan's lips twitched. He really was a killer (or fool)!
The three arrived at Tianxiang Tower. After introductions, Gu Liyan gained a new understanding of the two of them. The murderer Qiang's real name was Liu Qiang. Because the name was too common, Liu Qiang changed it to a name that made people tremble with fear—Murderer Qiang!
It wasn't that he frequently killed people, but rather that he was frequently killed. There's only one reason for this:
This guy was the leader of an intelligence network. Because he spread a lot of unknown information while doing business, he was resented by many people who would send people to kill him. He got used to it and eventually adopted this name.
The fat man's real name is not Duxiu, nor is it a name like Xiuer. It is Pang Zi, which really confirms the homonym "fat man"!
The two arrived at Tianxiang Tower
"Brother, you just got pregnant with my good fortune, let me toast you!" Killer Qiang said without any politeness, and filled the large bowl in front of Gu Liyan with wine.
Gu Liyan glared at him irritably, didn't clink glasses with him, and directly picked up the large bowl of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
At that moment, Gu Liyan felt as if he had drunk a ball of fire after drinking the wine in the cup, and his throat was burning.
This wine is several times stronger than any wine I've ever drunk before! Gu Liyan exhaled, forcing back the discomfort in his stomach.
Seeing Gu Liyan down the wine in one gulp, the murderer stammered, "Um, this wine is too strong. This big bowl of wine is for your meal..."
Gu Liyan stared wide-eyed at the murderous Qiang: "Are you fucking crazy?! Using such a huge bowl of wine for the toast is one thing, but you didn't even explain before pouring it! I…"
