Chapter 552: Revealing the True Face
This room is also very interesting. It is completely covered with black cloth, so the room is as dark as night. Candles have to be lit regardless of day or night, making the whole room dim. You can't see around clearly and can only see some things near the candle.
"Master, can you let me go?" Chunmei immediately knelt down in front of Master Qian.
"Why, you're not even willing to be my wife?" Master Qian asked as he sat down at the table and motioned her to come over and pour him some tea.
Chunmei didn't dare to say no, so she went over to pour him some water. However, Master Qian grabbed her wrist. He felt her pulse, then revealed a look of surprise and began to be attentive to her, saying, "I will treat you well. Master Qian will pour you some tea."
"Master." Chunmei was even more frightened than before.
Master Qian pulled Chunmei into his arms, let her sit on his lap, and whispered to her, "Don't be afraid, Master, I will take good care of you." At the same time, he began to massage her heart chakra.
"Master, please let me go. I don't want to." Chunmei began to twist her body. She wanted to break free, but found herself powerless, and pain came from her heart chakra. She lowered her eyes and saw that the master was holding his right palm in that position, which made her feel very uncomfortable, as if something was about to rush out from this place.
Suddenly, the door was kicked open.
Master Qian instinctively looked over there and saw Li Rongsen and An Yan.
An Yan had already taken off her fake face. She immediately interrupted Master Qian's action with a palm, pulled Chunmei over, and then said, "Qian Dewang, you are so bold. You use the name of Xicheng to do such evil things, and you think I don't know anything, right?"
"City Lord." Master Qian frowned. He should have guessed it long ago. There would be no other woman who could be with Li Rongsen. It must be An Yan.
"You are actually practicing this evil martial art." Even if Li Rongsen was ignorant, he had heard that this martial art required absorbing the blood of a thousand unmarried women to achieve perfection, and from then on, one would be invincible in the world.
Master Qian stood up and said to An Yan, "City Lord, this is not my fault. This is just the nature of my skill."
"What was the oath you swore when you first came to West City? You said you would give up this skill and never practice it again, but now you are back to your old ways. Not only are you harming the people in the city, but you are also stealing their money and land." As An Yan spoke, he moved his palms and demolished the house.
The corners of the wall collapsed in all directions, making a loud "bang" sound.
Only then did I see that the corners of the house were filled with bones, which must have been those of the poor women.
Chunmei was so frightened that she fell to the ground and cried.
Master Qian disagreed. He even said to An Yan shamelessly: "It's true that I retired from the business, but it's also true that I'm back to my old ways. What do you think?"
"Then you have to pay with your life, otherwise how can I explain to those innocent people?" An Yan said as he was about to catch Master Qian.
But Master Qian's current kung fu skills are not so easy to catch. He knows that it will be difficult for him to deal with Li Rongsen and An Yan alone, but he also knows their weaknesses well.
He first struck out at An Yan, causing Li Rongsen to instinctively move forward to block the blow. He then took advantage of this moment to pull Chun Mei over to his side, grabbing her by the neck and saying, "Let me go, and we'll have nothing to do with each other from now on."
"Let her go first." An Yan signaled him not to do anything rash.
"I want to live!" Master Qian roared.
"Let him go. I'll think about it." An Yan had no choice but to comfort him like this for the time being.
"I don't believe it. You have to write a special pardon in the name of the Lord of West City, saying that this matter will not be pursued and let me go free." Master Qian has always been careful in his work, and he doesn't want to make any mistakes.
Li Rongsen remained silent. He intended to go around behind Master Qian, but he found Master Qian retreating towards the wall and saying, "Mr. Li, please don't move. Stay with your beloved City Lord. Where are you going?"
"Let this girl go. What's the point of taking her hostage?" Li Rongsen was annoyed that he was seen through.
"I'm holding her because I don't have the ability." Master Qian refused to let go and even increased his strength, which made Chunmei scream in pain.
An Yan immediately said: "Okay, I promise you, you won't hurt her life."
"Okay, then please start writing, City Lord." Master Qian motioned her to hurry up.
An Yan frowned, and with a wave of her hand, she conjured up a brocade silk cloth specially used for writing orders in Xicheng. When she was about to start writing, she found that a stream of energy shot out from the wall behind Master Qian, piercing straight through his body, forcing him to let go and fall down staggeringly.
Chunmei was so scared that she ran towards Anyan.
At this moment, seeing Yan Qingqiu jumping over the wall, he clapped his hands and said, "He's really arrogant. He asked you to write an order for him alone. Who does he think he is?"
"When did you come back?" An Yan asked him.
"Li Rongsen sent me a secret signal. The old man walked slowly and was coming with a group of people." Yan Qingqiu said.
"Where's Meidie?"
"The old man asked her to go back to West City to make arrangements." Yan Qingqiu replied.
Li Rongsen went to Master Qian and said, "It's time to give justice to the people here."
Master Qian was seriously injured, but he was not dead yet. He said, "Please, City Lord, spare me."
"How could I possibly forgive you? Now is the time to punish people. You must pay back for all the times you bullied others in the past, otherwise they and Xicheng will hate you together!" Yan Qingqiu snorted.
Li Rongsen said, "There's a cave over there. It's full of his hidden money. Take it all out and return it to those people."
"Whatever we wanted was taken away by him by force," said An Yan.
At this time, seeing the old man hurried over, followed by a group of elite soldiers, he said: "Oh, how could this happen? He has been reformed for many years, decades, how could he be unable to control himself when he saw a beautiful young girl?"
Master Qian frowned, he really had nothing to say.
Yan Qingqiu said, "You've come just in time. Send me a few people and have them carry all the money out of the cave and return it to the people here. It was all stolen by him."
The old man was surprised and said, "He is not greedy for money."
"He just likes to hide." Li Rongsen explained to him.
The old man tutted his tongue a few times, then said to Master Qian, "I thought you were capable of handling matters, but you have harmed me, the City Lord, and West City."
"Stop talking nonsense, old man." Master Qian just sneered at him.
The old man didn't say anything else, but just told a few people to go to the storage cave below with Yan Qingqiu and move out all the valuables inside.
Yan Qingqiu walked in front, and the ten people followed behind him.
The hiding place below first had a staircase, then a long and narrow passage, and then it led to a place as big as a house. It was filled with gold and silver, neatly arranged, which was quite pleasing to the eye.
An Yan and Li Rongsen were thinking about how to deal with Master Qian. Parading him through the streets was inevitable, otherwise there would be no way to resolve the resentment of the people.
The old man asked, "How many lives did he kill?"
"Just count how many skulls there are and you'll know," said Li Rongsen.
The old man frowned, anger rising in his heart, and said to Master Qian: "Then there is no way to let him off. He has killed someone, so he should pay with his life."
Master Qian said, "I don't think I'm wrong. Everyone is going to die anyway, whether early or late. Besides, those people are useless. Their death at my hands is a kind of contribution. What's wrong with that? It makes them valuable."
