Chapter 9: Start Acting

After the breakthrough was successful, Lu Changsheng stopped practicing the blade technique.

With a thought, the pig-slaughtering knife disappeared from his hand.

All bound weapons could be put into the modifier space.

Then, after eating breakfast, Lu Changsheng walked toward the outside of the courtyard.

He prepared to start acting.

After his martial arts were initially successful, he also had the confidence to kill Zhao Erhu.

If he waited any longer, he was afraid the situation would change.

However, as a small leader of the Sanhe Gang, the other party had always stayed in the gang's gathering place, making it very difficult for him to find an opportunity.

With his strength, rashly breaking into the other party's station to kill the other party was probably also looking for death.

If he was surrounded by a large number of gang members, it would be very difficult to kill his way out.

Everything still needed to be planned properly.

He prepared to investigate the other party's whereabouts first before making plans.

Soon, Lu Changsheng left the courtyard and walked toward the street corner.

He endured the disgusting smell on the side of the road and walked forward along the street all the way.

Before long, he walked to the side of a courtyard at a corner.

Just then, a familiar conversation suddenly came from his ear.

He stopped immediately and poked his head out to observe quietly.

One of them was the target person he was looking for, Zhao Erhu, who also brought two followers.

"Tiger Master, my family really can't come up with money."

A young man wearing coarse linen clothes knelt in the courtyard, begging for mercy bitterly.

"Hmph... it's written in black and white; do you want to default on the debt? My Sanhe Gang is not to be trifled with..."

Zhao Erhu held the IOU, kicked the man in front of him, and shouted with full disdain.

The other two followers also had expressions of a cat playing with a mouse.

Chen Yuan squeezed his clothes tightly, his eyes red, and his heart full of anger.

His father had also disappeared in that escort agency accident a month ago, so he received a sum of silver.

This Sanhe Gang's Zhao Erhu came to his door, holding the IOU he had owed in the gambling den before.

However, that interest had already risen to an astronomical figure; the principal was only two taels of silver, but now it had rolled to dozens of taels of silver, and even if he sold himself, he couldn't pay it back.

At this moment, he knew he had been plotted against.

He felt extremely regretful for getting involved in the bad habit of gambling, which gave the other party an opportunity.

Even if he went to report to the official, it would be of no avail.

"Kid, it's only right and proper to pay back debts; we agreed on this interest..."

Zhao Erhu had a mocking smile on his face.

"Do you want to end up like that Lu kid?"

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng, who was at the corner of the wall, felt his face turn cold.

His predecessor had been plotted against to death by the same routine.

It seemed the other party had been eyeing quite a few people.

Hearing this, Chen Yuan was afraid, and replied stutteringly: "I, I... will pay it back... as soon as possible..."

The two families were only separated by two streets, and he also knew Lu Changsheng.

He had heard about the other party's deeds a few days ago, and now seeing Zhao Erhu wanting to kill himself, he was naturally very afraid.

Just then, Chen Yuan's wife and daughter in the house heard the movement and rushed out.

A beautiful woman wearing linen clothes came to Chen Yuan's side, her expression very miserable.

However, her figure was quite good, her upper body was concave and convex, quite seductive. The beautiful woman was also holding a girl of ten or so.

Mother and daughter clung tightly together, and the girl's eyes were full of fear.

They all knew the great name of the Sanhe Gang; these people were treacherous and cunning, doing all kinds of evil, making people extremely disgusted.

Now that the other party was eyeing their family, it made them feel a bit desperate.

Some people on the nearby street also heard the movement and walked over one after another.

Everyone watched the scene in front of them quietly, their faces full of numbness.

"If you can't pay back the silver today, then take some interest first; take your wife and daughter to pay off the debt, otherwise, I'll let you go to the mine to dig for ore."

Zhao Erhu's eyes lit up when he saw the beautiful woman appear.

He had played with quite a few women, but this kind of mature, good-family beautiful woman was still very rare, which greatly increased his interest.

In the next few days, Lu Changsheng had been carefully monitoring the other party's whereabouts.

This Zhao Erhu was quite cautious, always bringing two followers.

During the day, they were active within the Sanhe Gang's sphere of influence, and every day, besides bullying men and women, they were collecting protection fees, which was extremely arrogant.

At night, they rested in the core area of the gang, making it difficult for Lu Changsheng to find an opportunity.

As a large gang, the gang leader was at least at the Bone Forging realm, so Lu Changsheng didn't dare to kill his way into the other party's core area.

If he was slightly careless, he would be discovered by secret sentries, and even escaping would be extremely difficult.

However, after observing for these few days, he also found a clue.

Lu Changsheng discovered that this person actually seemed to have an unclear relationship with Widow Zhang on the side of the street.

The two often winked at each other, and Zhao Erhu even moved his hands and feet on Widow Zhang, and he didn't see her resist.

The two clearly had some illicit affair.

After this discovery, Lu Changsheng changed his thinking and began to stare at Widow Zhang.

For three consecutive days, he lay at the corner of the wall every night, staring at Widow Zhang's courtyard.

But he never saw Zhao Erhu appear.

This made him feel a bit suspicious in his heart.

"Could it be that my guess is wrong?"

Time soon came to the fifth day.

This day, late at night.

The night was dark and the wind was high, and the surroundings were deathly quiet.

There wasn't even a single figure on both sides of the street.

Only the occasional crowing of crows came from nearby.

The atmosphere of the entire street felt a bit eerie.

Lu Changsheng hid in the corner quietly, staring at the courtyard in front, not daring to relax at all.

Just then, a tall figure walked from the end of the street, his pace very light.

This person was Zhao Erhu.

Zhao Erhu was also holding a long knife, walking quickly toward the courtyard.

After Lu Changsheng's many days of squatting, the other party finally appeared in this place.

"This guy is quite cautious, even bringing weapons when coming out to steal fragrance and jade."

Lu Changsheng sneered in his heart.

Today was the other party's death day.
