Chapter 84 Shi Zhongyu Chooses to Play His Cards Openly
Inside the lobby, Zhan Fei, Mi Hengye, and others were sitting in chairs discussing matters.
Zhan Fei and the others looked at Mi Hengye with somewhat strange expressions.
Especially Li Kui.
He asked Mi Hengye in a low voice.
"I really don't know where you get the audacity to think you can instruct the gang leader in martial arts!"
Mi Hengye snorted and touched his chest.
Even after this period of rest, his chest still aches slightly.
He felt a pang of fear whenever he thought about that day's duel.
"He's just a foolish gang leader. Who would have thought his internal strength was so formidable? If I had known earlier, I would definitely have challenged him to a weapon contest!"
"My mistake was trying to compete with him in internal energy!"
Mi Hengye tried to make amends for his quick defeat that day.
"hehe!"
Li Kui curled his lip.
"Looks like you really don't know how powerful our gang leader is!"
Zhan Fei and the others looked at Li Kui, waiting for him to continue.
However, Li Kui shut his mouth and said nothing more.
The group was annoyed, but they couldn't force Li Kui.
At this moment, one of the Yunxiang leaders, who was sitting in a chair, asked doubtfully, "Aren't you saying that Chief Shi wasn't just someone Mr. Bei randomly picked?"
"Where did he find someone who looks like a fool but is actually so capable?"
Li Kui slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
"Master Yun, what do you mean by that?"
"How dare they slander our leader?"
Yunxiang Master glanced at Li Kui.
"You know the inside story, otherwise, why would Mr. Bei keep the gang leader in the gang and not let him leave?"
Li Kui snorted.
"No matter what, he's still the leader of our Chang Le Gang. I don't want to hear a single word of slander against him!"
Zhan Fei, who was standing nearby, quickly said, "Master Yun, you were indeed in the wrong this time. Chief Shi is the leader of our Chang Le Gang!"
"You still need to understand the proper hierarchy. If Mr. Bei hears you saying that, I think you know the consequences, don't you?"
Yunxiang Master's expression changed.
"It's not that he's not here!"
Just as they were talking, footsteps came from outside the lobby.
The group immediately shut their mouths and stood up.
Their gaze fell outside the lobby, where they saw Mr. Bei bowing and following behind the gang leader.
Mi Hengye, Li Kui, Zhan Fei, and their group of eight quickly stepped forward.
"Your subordinate greets the gang leader!"
Shi Zhongyu ignored the others without expression and sat down in the main seat.
"Esteemed hall masters and incense leaders, please rise!"
Zhan Fei and the others then stood up.
They bowed their heads, waiting for their leader to continue.
"The reason I summoned you here is to ask you something: so much time has passed, why haven't you found my mother yet?"
Zhan Fei, Li Kui, and the others exchanged glances before finally fixing their gaze on Bei Haishi.
Bei Haishi sighed inwardly and quickly stepped forward.
"Boss, our brothers have done their best, but your mother's whereabouts are too well hidden!"
He looked at Shi Zhongyu's gloomy face and felt a chill run down his spine.
After a while, Shi Zhongyu withdrew his gaze.
His gaze swept over Zhan Fei, Yun Xiangzhu, and the others.
He slammed his hand on the table!
The table shattered with a loud crack!
"A bunch of useless trash!"
"You guys can't even find one person!"
Li Kui, Zhan Fei, and the others knelt down trembling with fear.
"We have failed in our duties; please punish us, Master!"
Bei Haishi also bowed his head, not daring to look directly into Shi Zhongyu's eyes.
After a long while, Shi Zhongyu sighed.
"Alright, my mother has been missing for decades, it's perfectly normal that you can't find her!"
"However, if you don't handle what I'm about to ask you to do well!"
"You should all resign!"
Zhan Fei and the others dared not answer and looked to Bei Haishi for help.
You hired this gang leader, and you said you could handle him, but now it seems he's not so easy to deal with at all.
Bei Haishi cupped his hands in greeting: "Chief, what do you need them to do next?"
Shi Zhongyu tapped the table.
"It's a simple matter. Just check if anyone from Xia Ke Island has come to the Central Plains!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bei Haishi and the others felt a jolt in their hearts.
They haven't forgotten that having the person in front of them as the gang leader was meant to protect them from disaster.
The gang leader actually knows about Xia Ke Island?
Bei Haishi's heart sank.
How could the gang leader possibly know?
Is that Young Master Shi?
Do not?
Black and White Duo?
Did they tell the gang leader?
Bei Haishi frowned. Why hadn't Shi Jian told him?
Could it be that Shi Jian betrayed him?
Bei Haishi thought about the changes in the gang leader before him and considered this possibility.
Before Bei Haishi and the others could speak, the gang leader in front of them spoke again.
"I, the leader of this gang, know one thing: once the people from Xia Ke Island arrive, all the sect leaders and gang chiefs of the Central Plains martial arts world will receive the decree for rewarding good and punishing evil!"
Those who went to Xia Ke Island never returned!
Bei Haishi and the others broke out in a cold sweat.
The gang leader knows! The gang leader knows everything!
"You appointed me as the gang leader so that I could receive the decree to reward the good and punish the evil, right?"
Bei Haishi suddenly knelt down on one knee.
"Our leader has misunderstood us. We have never harbored any disloyalty towards him!"
Zhan Fei and the others also knelt down in unison.
They were all veterans of the Chang Le Gang and knew that everything the gang leader said was true.
"Alright, Mr. Bei, and all of you, stand up!"
Shi Zhongyu did not intend to hold the individuals accountable.
"Now remember one thing: your Chang Le Gang needs me as its leader!"
Bei Haishi and the others nodded repeatedly.
Yokono further pledged his loyalty.
"What the gang leader says is true. Our Chang Le Gang needs a gang leader, but we don't need a gang leader to receive orders for rewarding good and punishing evil!"
Shi Zhongyu glanced at Mi Hengye.
"In that case, how about you become the gang leader and take over the order to reward the good and punish the evil?"
Mi Hengye shrank back.
He hasn't lived enough yet.
The others dared not look directly at the gang leader, nor did they dare to express their loyalty like Mi Hengye did.
"What I asked you to do is check whether the two envoys from Xia Ke Island have come to the Central Plains!"
"If they come to the Central Plains, I need to know their movements!"
"And one more thing you can rest assured about: I will accept the order to reward good and punish evil!"
Bei Haishi and the others stared in astonishment at their gang leader.
They didn't understand that the gang leader knew the consequences of accepting the order to reward good and punish evil.
Why did you still dare to accept the token?
"As for the reason, you don't need to know!"
"Can you do what I'm about to say?"
Bei Haishi bowed deeply.
Zhan Fei and the others followed.
"Please rest assured, Master, we will promptly investigate the movements of the two envoys from Xia Ke Island!"
Shi Zhongyu nodded slightly.
"I hope you can satisfy me!"
After Shi Zhongyu finished speaking, he stood up.
"I'm planning to go out for a few days, so please have the brothers in the gang keep an eye on my movements!"
The group quickly agreed, not daring to utter a single objection.
Since the current gang leader has said he is willing to accept the order to reward the good and punish the evil.
They do whatever the gang leader says.
They believe that as long as they get through this period, life will get better!
Shi Zhongyu didn't look at the group again, but instead prepared horses and called Shi Jian to head to the inn.
He was going to take his younger brother Shi Potian to the Snow Mountain Sect.
He was eagerly anticipating how his master, grandmaster, and others would react after meeting Shi Potian.
