However, Li Zhiqun and his group had just returned to the headquarters of Agent 76 and hadn't even had a chance to catch their breath when a group of people stormed in. It was none other than Li Yunqing's wife, Chen Jinbao. Upon hearing the news of Li Yunqing's death, she didn't say a word and directly led a group of her disciples and followers to the headquarters of Agent 76.
The agents at the Special Agent Headquarters were all Li Yunqing's disciples. How could they dare to stop Chen Jinbao from bringing his men to their door? They were so frightened that they quickly reported to Li Zhiqun. As a result, Li Zhiqun and Wu Shicai also hurriedly came downstairs and stood at the gate to welcome their master's wife.
Although Chen Jinbao is an old woman, she was once a well-known "Master Jinbao" in Shanghai. Back then, she was on par with Lin Guisheng, a famous female leader of the Green Gang. Li Yunqing relied heavily on this woman's help to secure her position as the leader of the Green Gang.
Moreover, this Jinbao's wife was strong-willed and ruthless. Her prestige among the disciples was no less than that of Li Yunqing. Li Zhiqun and Wu Shicai had to be respectful to her and dared not be negligent in the slightest.
Although the old woman looked old, her eyes were long and sharp, with a gaze as sharp as lightning, making people afraid to look directly at her. The young woman supporting her was her goddaughter, She Aizhen, who was also Wu Shicai's wife.
Seeing Chen Jinbao's expression, Li Zhiqun and the others couldn't help but secretly lament their predicament; this was clearly a case of being confronted and questioned.
As expected, as soon as Chen Jinbao saw her, she shook off She Aizhen, who was supporting her, and went straight to Li Zhiqun.
"Slap! Slap!"
With a wave of her hand, she slapped Li Zhiqun and Wu Shicai hard across the face, leaving the two men stunned. Fortunately, the old woman wasn't very strong, otherwise their faces would have looked terrible!
Chen Jinbao pointed at the two of them and cursed, "Your master and father have been killed, and you two are sitting here comfortably! Li Zhiqun, back then, the old man was hiding at home enjoying his life, and it was you who came to our door every day to entice him to come out and work. Now that you've offended someone, you're old and can't die a good death. You've abandoned our whole family. Tell me, what are you going to do?"
Li Zhiqun was beaten, but he dared not utter a single complaint. He quickly bowed and promised, "Master's wife, don't worry, I will definitely find the murderer and avenge Master. If I fail, I am willing to accept punishment according to the gang rules!"
Chen Jinbao then turned his gaze to Wu Shicai and said sternly, "Ah Cai, when you were down on your luck, it was this old man who took you in and even married my daughter to you. Today, you give me an answer!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Shicai was so frightened that he almost knelt down. He said repeatedly, "Master's wife, I will risk my life to catch the murderer. If I fail to catch the murderer and avenge my godfather, I will willingly be expelled from the sect!"
Hearing their assurances, Chen Jinbao snorted coldly and shouted, "Fine, I've been waiting for you to say that. If you can't keep your word and leave this old man with regrets, I'll open an incense hall and send out invitations to kick you out. I, this old woman, mean what I say!"
Li Zhiqun and Wu Shicai's expressions changed drastically. They knew their teacher's wife's temperament; she was absolutely a woman of her word.
Without waiting for them to speak again, Chen Jinbao asked in a deep voice, "Where is the old man now?"
Li Zhiqun then came to his senses and quickly led the way, taking Chen Jinbao and the others to the morgue.
The news of Li Yunqing's murder quickly spread throughout the No. 76 compound, and of course, it did not escape the notice of the spies who had been secretly observing.
In the office of the first division chief, Luo Xingchao, who had just been promoted to division chief, was watching the farce unfolding downstairs from the window, a satisfied smile on his lips.
Just then, a knock sounded on the door.
"Come in!"
Cui Yuanfeng pushed open the door and entered, reporting with a smile: "Director, you see! This is quite a show. With Li Yunqing dead, Li Zhiqun is now in the spotlight, he's going to suffer a lot."
Luo Xingchao laughed heartily, turned around and returned to his seat, leaning back comfortably. He said excitedly, "Choosing Li Yunqing as the target was a stroke of genius. No one else has that kind of weight. This way, Li Zhiqun's backer in the Green Gang is gone. If he doesn't give an explanation, the Green Gang members in No. 76 won't be able to keep him in check. He has no way out, haha!"
