Chapter 191: The Smiling Tiger's Courage

~7 min read 1,245 words

Li Xin never expected that Xiao Mian Hu could even escape; he turned his head, puzzled, and looked at Lian Haolong.

This matter has no explanation; there's no chance of future cooperation, it was handled too crudely!

Lian Haolong's eyes were practically blazing with anger; he'd lost so much face!

A Xin didn't even need them to lift a finger; just blocking the entrance and exit still let Xiao Mian Hu get away—this is really embarrassing!

Looking at A Wu, he ordered: "Turn West Ring upside down, also find Xiao Mian Hu; if you can't find him, you'll bring the punishment on yourselves."

"Okay, Big Brother, I'll take people to look for him right now; it's impossible for him to get out of West Ring."

A Wu led a large group away, and Lian Haolong hurriedly apologized to Li Tong.

"A Xin, I was negligent; this time it's on me. Rest assured, even if I can't find Xiao Mian Hu today, I'll bring his head to you."

Li Xin glanced at him and asked suspiciously: "Does he still have any strongholds in West Ring? With such a tight blockade and just a few streets, how did he manage to get out?"

At that moment, Tianhong came over, scratching his head, a bit embarrassed, and said to Li Xin.

"Big Brother, I was busy fighting and didn't pay attention to Xiao Mian Hu's movements; this is my fault."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely take him out and vent your anger for you, Big Brother. This damn bastard is really slippery—he even managed to get away!"

Li Xin put his arm around Tianhong's shoulders and walked straight to the bar, still turning back to say to Lian Haolong:

"Long Ge, that's it for today—if we find him, great; if not, forget it. Everyone gave it their all; that little dwarf is too small, so it's understandable the brothers didn't spot him."

With Lian Haolong's explosive temper, how could he possibly tolerate this!

He immediately shouted angrily: "A Xin, just wait at the bar; I'll give you an explanation before dawn."

The muscles on his face were trembling, his eyes shooting out fiery, sharp glances.

Lian Haolong was now incandescent with rage, his face flushed red, his eyes bulged like copper bells, his brows knotted together, as if he might explode any moment.

Anger burned on his face, veins bulging, teeth clenched, eyes blazing as if about to spew flames, fists clenched, joints cracking.

One can imagine he'd reached the peak of fury.

……

That bastard Xiao Mian Hu sat in the driver's cabin, deliberately picking a junction guarded by Prosperity's men, and even greeted the men blocking the road.

"What's going on today? Why such a huge commotion? I just came from Mr. Jiang's place, and I see every junction sealed off—what's happening?"

Prosperity's lackeys eyed Xiao Mian Hu suspiciously, giving him several glances, frowning, and probed:

"Brother B?"

Xiao Mian Hu laughed and cursed: "Damn! Who else could it be? You're an idiot!"

Prosperity's little brothers hurriedly greeted him: "Brother B, sorry, today we're looking for East Prosperity's Xiao Mian Hu—hurry up and drive off; this is Tianhong Ge's orders."

He also shouted to the people around: "Make way for Brother B, don't delay his business."

After Xiao Mian Hu's car drove off, someone asked the little leader.

"How come Brother B looks so much like Xiao Mian Hu? Are you sure you didn't mistake him?"

The little leader raised his hand and slapped that person, snapping: "How could Xiao Mian Hu come out of Mr. Jiang's house? Idiot!"

"Where is Mr. Jiang's house?"

As that little brother spoke, the little leader froze, then shouted: "Chase, chase quickly—that bastard is Xiao Mian Hu!"

"Big Brother, our broken-down van can't catch up!"

Another said: "Besides blocking the road, this van is really useless!"

"……"

This little leader had indeed seen Big Brother B a few times at the headquarters, also seen Xiao Mian Hu, and seeing the person in the car without glasses, instinctively thought he was Big Brother B.

Xiao Mian Hu even blurted out that he was coming from Mr. Jiang's house, so the little leader didn't think twice and let him pass!

If he'd just paid attention in a few classes at school, he wouldn't be so gullible!

No education, truly terrifying!

Nobody even necessarily knows what inertia of thought is!

He also never expected Xiao Mian Hu to just swagger past them in his car—how would he explain this to Tianhong Ge when he got back!

Thinking of Tianhong Ge's terror, his heart pounded.

It felt like fifteen buckets of water were thumping seven up, eight down in his chest, not daring to breathe, feeling suffocated.

Following his little brothers, seeing his state, they exchanged glances, not knowing what to say.

One little brother suggested to the little leader: "Big Brother, let's just pretend this never happened—after all, only we know about it."

The little leader looked at the crowd, their expressions varied, and he silently sighed.

As soon as a second person knows, it's no longer a secret—can't be kept hidden!

He said with a complex expression: "You guys stay on guard here; maybe that person really is Brother B! I'll go find Tianhong Ge and tell him what just happened."

Li Xin was in the bar, listening to the little leader finish recounting the whole process.

He smiled and said to him: "Call the brothers back; no need to keep blocking the road—this Xiao Mian Hu really has some skill."

He also pulled out a few big bills from his pocket, placed them in his hand, and said:

"Take the brothers out for a meal, then go back to sleep—this isn't your fault."

The little leader looked gratefully and said: "Thanks, Xin Ge! I'll get right on it."

Tianhong also didn't mind this; in Xi Gong's tradition, the underlings, as long as they aren't deliberately deceiving them, are mostly handled this way.

Seeing that Big Brother hadn't given much money, he knew Big Brother was very dissatisfied with this.

"That damned Xiao Mian Hu, Big Brother wants to kill you—wouldn't it be better to just wait honestly for death?"

"And I still have to put in the effort!"

When Li Xin returned to the Shallow Water Bay Villa, the sky was just lightening; he hurriedly ran to the bedroom to catch some sleep—fishing by day, restless by night.

He really was somewhat tired!

Line: Qiuti, with sleepy eyes, asked: "How come you only came back so late?"

Li Xin amusedly looked at the dazed Line: Qiuti, "Still late? It's almost dawn!"

He took off his clothes, went into the bathroom and took a warm shower, lifted a corner of the blanket, and slipped in; not long after.

The bedroom was full of spring vigor.

Li Xin indulged in sensual pleasures at home, and even Haolong in Tuodi flew into a rage.

"Are you all useless? Prosperity has loosened its grip on the territory, and you let Xiao Mian Hu get away? What good are you?"

"You bunch of good-for-nothings! Besides eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and drugs, what else can you do?"

Susu urged from the side: "Long Ge! This isn't necessarily the Xiao Mian Hu we let loose; there are two exits guarded by Prosperity's people."

"When something goes wrong, we can't blame it all on us, can we?"

Susu really was right! Xiao Mian Hu really did escape from Prosperity's hands.
