Chapter 73

Are you deaf?

Inside the military police station, Xiao Dao was surrounded by thugs who kept talking about how powerful the Green Gang was.

"Brother Dao, you're amazing! You're actually from the Green Gang."

"Yes, I've heard of gangs. They're said to be the most powerful in Shanghai besides the warlords."

Compared to the Green Gang, we're like little kids.

Listening to their praise, Xiao Dao was smug and sat on the table with his legs crossed, enjoying a cigarette.

In his view, petty thugs who didn't join the Green Gang were second-rate and didn't even deserve to be compared to him.

He didn't even glance at Lu Chen and Liu Jie as they walked in through the door.

"Get down."

Liu Jie's expression was cold as he walked up to Xiao Dao and said in a cold voice.

Lu Chen took out a cigarette, and a lit match was immediately handed to him by a member of the military police.

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Dao's crossed legs kept shaking, and his expression remained smug.

Seeing him like this, Liu Jie was furious and yanked him off the table.

thump......

"What are you going to do?"

The knife fell heavily to the ground, and Liu Jie used the bottom cap to press it against his back, pinning it firmly to the ground.

Lu Chen stepped forward, reached out and groped his body, finally finding the gun at his waist, which was the same gun that Kuroda had given him.

"Tie him up and stuff him into the car."

Lu Chen didn't even look at him. After giving the order, Liu Jie called the two men beside him and told them to get the rope.

Seeing this, the two dared not make a move. Xiao Dao was a member of the Green Gang, and they did not want to offend him.

"Are you deaf? Go get a rope!"

Seeing that they were unmoved, Liu Jie roared, and the two men trembled before standing up to get the rope.

"What happened?"

Liu Jie made quite a commotion. Hearing the noise, Shen Ruoqiu came to Lu Chen's side and looked at Xiao Dao, who was tied up with ropes, and asked in confusion.

"You, pack your things and come with me."

When Lu Chen saw Shen Ruoqiu, he thought of his plan from the previous night. Since that was the case, he decided to have her pack her things and come with him to the French Concession now.

"Where are you going?"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Shen Ruoqiu became even more confused. Was she supposed to pack her things herself?

"Stop talking nonsense and go pack your things. I'll wait for you in the car."

Lu Chen was a little impatient. Anyone would be in a bad mood if they encountered such an annoying thing first thing in the morning.

"well..."

Lu Chen's voice was loud and violent, which startled Shen Ruoqiu. She quickly glanced at Lu Chen and then turned around and went back to her room to pack her things.

"Bring it in the car."

Lu Chen got into the back seat of the car, where Xiao Dao, who was tied up and unable to move, was also placed.

"Xiao Jie, here, take this gun."

Lu Chen glanced at Xiao Dao's gun; it was still fully loaded. He had a gun, and Xiao Jie was one of his own, always using a knife, which wasn't convenient at this moment, so he simply gave it to him.

"A gun? Brother Chen, you don't want it?"

Upon seeing the gun, Liu Jie's eyes lit up. What man doesn't love a gun? It's just that they're too expensive for him to afford.

"I have."

Lu Chen drew the gun from his waist, held it in his hand, and shook it, indicating that he already had one and didn't need it anymore.

"Then I'll take it, Brother Chen."

Upon seeing Lu Chenyou, Liu Jie hesitated for a moment, then quickly took the pistol, examining it closely and showing great interest in it.

"Chief, I've accepted it."

Shen Ruoqiu stood outside the car with her belongings, and Lu Chen gestured for her to get in.

Holding the items in her arms, Shen Ruoqiu sat in the front seat, and the car started and headed towards the French Concession.

"Xiao Jie, let's go to Du Yuesheng's mansion first."

Lu Chen planned to deal with Xiao Dao's matter first before going home. After all, he had offended Xiao Dao, and if Xiao Dao was still alive and knew the location of his home, things would be difficult.

"Um."

Liu Jie nodded and sped into the French Concession to Du Yuesheng's mansion.

The place is exactly the same as last time, with no difference. There are two people standing at the door, but Xiao Dao is gone, and there is an unfamiliar face.

"I want to see Boss Du."

Liu Jie, with Xiao Dao bound hand and foot, and Lu Chen arrived at the door. Looking at the two of them, Lu Chen calmly spoke.

Only Lu Chen and Liu Jie were present; Shen Ruoqiu was instructed to stay in the car and not get out.

"Let me go and tell them."

The two men glanced at the bound knife. Lu Chen had been here before, so they didn't dare to take action without permission.

Lu Chen nodded, and the two of them came out shortly after entering Du Yuesheng's mansion.

"Go in, the boss said you can go in."

Lu Chen didn't say anything, but stepped into Du Yuesheng's mansion.

"Hurry up and go."

Liu Jie kicked Xiao Dao twice, causing him to stumble. Xiao Dao glared at Liu Jie and turned to walk inside.

They were about to meet Du Yuesheng. Xiao Dao was one of Du Yuesheng's men, and Du Yuesheng would definitely not let it go so easily after being treated like this by Lu Chen and the other two.

Thinking this, Xiao Dao sneered and didn't hold Liu Jie's kick against him.

"Brother Du, we meet again."

Inside the room were the same few people: a woman with a child, another woman massaging Du Yuesheng's shoulders, except that the woman who had been called the Fourth Madam was sitting next to Du Yuesheng.

The two men at the door followed Lu Chen and the other man in and stood behind Du Yuesheng.

Upon seeing Du Yuesheng, Lu Chen greeted him warmly and sat down on an empty sofa not far away.

Magnolia.

Du Yuesheng looked up and spoke. The woman beside him then stood up and poured Lu Chen a cup of tea.

"This is?"

Upon seeing Xiao Dao bound hand and foot, Du Yuesheng immediately frowned, looking at Lu Chen with a mixture of doubt and anger in his eyes.

"Boss, I don't know what I did to offend them. They just tied me up without saying a word."

Upon seeing Du Yuesheng, Xiao Dao became agitated and began to accuse Lu Chen and Liu Jie.

Apart from his voice, no one else spoke until he finished speaking, at which point Lu Chen spoke calmly.

"Are you done talking?"

Xiao Dao glanced at Lu Chen, snorted coldly, and did not answer him.

"Boss Du, let me explain this to you."

Lu Chen took a sip of tea, met Du Yuesheng's angry eyes for a few seconds, and then looked away.

Lu Chen could have easily let this matter drop without risking offending Du Yuesheng, but Xiao Dao's style of doing things was too reckless.

If we let this matter go and let him continue to follow us, it will only cause more and bigger trouble in the future.

Lu Chen remained calm and composed as he recounted everything Xiao Dao had done at the tailor shop.

"Boss Du, this is why I brought him here today. The Green Gang is currently in a crucial period of legitimizing itself. Is what he's doing really appropriate?"

After saying that, Lu Chen saw that Xiao Dao could not even stand up, and Liu Jie had to pull him up.

Du Yuesheng leaned back on the sofa, his eyes closed, while two slender hands rubbed his shoulders.

"Little Knife."

Du Yuesheng spoke calmly, without even opening his eyes.

"Boss... Boss..."

Xiao Dao spoke tremblingly, then with a thud, he completely lost his balance and knelt on the ground.

"I remember I specifically told you all to keep a low profile and follow the rules, didn't you hear me?"

"I was wrong, boss, please give me another chance."

Xiao Dao did not answer Du Yuesheng's question, but only kept begging for mercy.

Others might not know, but did he not? He knew all too well what Du Yuesheng was like beneath his calm exterior.

"You're so young, and your hearing is already failing? In that case, it's a waste of your hearing."

Du Yuesheng still didn't open his eyes, and spoke in a faint voice.

The moment his voice fell, one of the two people standing behind him stepped forward and walked towards Xiaodao.

Lu Chen saw that he was holding something in his hand, which was neither a knife nor a gun, but it gleamed with a silver light, and he couldn't see it very clearly.
