"What's that smell..." Hua Sichen vaguely smelled a burnt smell, frowned in dissatisfaction, then suddenly opened his eyes, and subconsciously shut his mouth after seeing the people lying all over the ground around him.
His mind raced back to the moment before he fainted, while his eyes scanned his surroundings. He quickly grasped the current situation.
"Damn it! That beast Zuo Chenglong! How dare he!"
Not only did they drug them and steal the jade they had painstakingly unearthed, but they also set fire to the place intending to burn them to death!
This is utterly outrageous!
"Get up! Wake up, everyone! Wake up!" Hua Sichen pushed Xu Yi next to her forcefully to wake him up.
Xu Yi felt a headache coming on and didn't understand what was going on for a moment. He glanced at Hua Sichen, whose face looked pale, and asked, "Second Young Master Hua, what's wrong?"
Hua Sichen didn't have time to explain to him, and only said anxiously, "Quickly wake up the others first. It's not safe here. Let's leave first!"
Xu Yi then realized something was wrong. He saw the flames that had started burning and turned pale with fright. His hands trembled as he pushed the people next to him, saying, "Quick... wake up! Everyone wake up..."
Hua Sichen shook Qin Xiao, and it took her a while to wake him up. "Young Master Yu, get up quickly and take Miss Ellie out. There's a fire here!"
Qin Xiao quickly glanced around, his expression changing: "What's going on? Where are Zuo Chenglong and the others?"
Hua Sichen's face was grim. "We've already found that beast's tricks!"
Qin Xiao hurriedly reached out to touch the three stones they had unearthed, but found nothing, and his expression turned even uglier.
Hua Sichen said angrily, "They took it all! That beast not only stole our jade, but also tried to kill us to silence us!"
Qin Xiao slammed his fist on the table in anger, yelling, "You bastard!"
Seeing this, Hua Sichen sighed, "Let's leave here first."
Qin Xiao nodded, picked up the still unconscious Ye Weiwei, and said to Hua Sichen, "Thank you!"
Hua Sichen waved her hand, "No need to be so polite."
With the help of Xu Yi and others, most of the unconscious people woke up. After they left, the entire underground venue was engulfed in flames.
Looking at the raging flames, everyone's faces showed relief at surviving the disaster, and they all held a grudge against the Green Dragon Gang and Zuo Chenglong.
They are not some nameless ants that can be crushed at will!
Therefore, after losing another stronghold, the Green Dragon Gang was also "greeted" by many powerful families in Hong Kong.
After receiving a report from his subordinates and several phone calls demanding answers from his own men, Zuo Qingtian, the leader of the Qinglong Gang, was so angry that he almost set his study on fire.
"Where is that bastard Zuo Chenglong? Where the hell has he gone? Tell him to get back here right now!"
His men were so frightened that they fell silent.
Zuo Qingtian became even angrier at the sight of his men and roared, "Are you all mute? Speak!"
Ma San was pushed forward by the person behind him and stumbled forward. He met Zuo Qingtian's cold eyes and was so frightened that he stammered, "Boss, Young Master Zuo, he's gone missing. Our men can't find him anywhere."
"Missing? What's missing? Where are his men? Get them here to report!"
Zuo Qingtian simply did not believe that Zuo Chenglong had disappeared. That unfilial son must have known he had caused trouble and dared not come back to see him, so he had found a place to hide and avoid trouble.
Ma San stammered, "All of Zuo Shao's men have disappeared."
"That bastard!"
Upon hearing that even his men had disappeared, Zuo Qingtian became even more convinced that Zuo Chenglong had found a place to hide.
After all, the information he received was that Zuo Chenglong drugged the people who went to the jade gambling conference today and stole the jade they had extracted.
Among these are several high-quality pieces; the imperial green alone is worth a fortune. That unfilial son must have been blinded by greed!
As for his men, hmph!
How could he have moved so many jade stones by himself?
"A good-for-nothing who's more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything!"
Zuo Qing was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet.
How could he raise such a short-sighted and worthless person!
After Zuo Qingtian had vented his anger, Wu Yang said, "Chief Zuo, this matter has blown up so much, and everyone is waiting for us to give them an explanation. What do you think we should do about this?"
If it were just offending one or two families, that would be one thing, but Zuo Chenglong has offended almost every prominent figure in Hong Kong this time.
I really don't know what that young master Zuo was thinking. Was his head full of straw?
How could someone do something like this!
Moreover, since he had already done it, he should have gone all the way and killed all those people, but instead he left them with this mess!
Zuo Qingtian is suffering from a heart attack, but now Zuo Chenglong has disappeared and can't be found, yet the matter still needs to be resolved.
Even with Smith as a powerful backer, the Green Dragon Gang wouldn't dare offend all the prominent families in Hong Kong at once, since they still need to survive in Hong Kong.
Now we can only try our best to compensate them, hoping that everyone can give the Green Dragon Gang some face and let the matter rest.
Therefore, Zuo Qingtian had a list of all the families who had suffered losses compiled, and all the money spent on gambling on stones was refunded. In addition, each family was given a gift as compensation.
As for the Yu family, there was no way to compensate for the three top-quality materials. Zuo Qingtian had no choice but to spend a lot of money, personally delivering more than a dozen antiques, two sets of valuable jewelry, and an additional check for one million yuan, which finally managed to appease the Yu family.
"Mr. Yu, this time it was indeed my good-for-nothing son's fault. I failed to raise him properly and caused you all trouble. When that brat comes back, I will definitely bring him to apologize. We will do whatever punishment he deserves."
Mr. Yu remained silent with a cold expression.
Standing to the side, Yu's mother cried and said, "Chief Zuo, our Yu family has only had one son for three generations, and Chengwu is the only son in this generation. If something happens to Chengwu, our Yu family line will be cut off!"
The invitation was personally sent by your family's Zuo Chenglong, how could he... how could he do such a heartless thing!
Zuo Qingtian was annoyed by Yu's mother's crying and nagging, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only suppress his anger and apologize.
“Mrs. Yu is right. It is indeed that unfilial son’s fault. Don’t worry, as long as we find him, I will definitely not let him off easily. I will make sure that Young Master Yu gets his revenge himself.”
While Yu's mother was still sobbing, Yu's father frowned and said impatiently, "Alright! Luckily, Chengwu is unharmed this time and escaped unscathed, only losing some things. If it were... I, Yu, would rather risk my life than let anyone who dared to touch my son get away with it!"
Zuo Qingtian smiled wryly: "Don't worry, this will never happen again."
After Zuo Qingtian's repeated assurances and humble actions, the Yu family finally agreed to accept the gifts.
