Chapter 777

~7 min read 1,371 words

The expressions of more than a dozen people changed instantly. Huang Hui didn't pay any more attention to them and walked up the stairs, feeling a heaviness in her legs she had never felt before.

Arriving at her room on the second floor, she sat in front of the dressing table, looking at her haggard but still exquisite face, and started to laugh.

"Hehe... Hahaha..."

The laughter grew louder and crazier, sounding chilling to the ear.

The dozen or so people downstairs looked at each other, thinking at the same time that their sister-in-law's mind must have really gone wrong.

A man in his fifties, wearing a Tang suit and sitting on the sofa, stood up, picked up a cane beside him, and walked out limping.

"Since sister-in-law is unwilling, there's no need for us to stay here."

The others also walked out, each with their own ulterior motives. They hadn't slept all night, yet they didn't feel sleepy at all.

The boss was dead. Who would sit in that position? Everyone felt that they were the most qualified to sit there.

As for coming to find Huang Hui, it wasn't really to have this sister-in-law come out to preside over the overall situation.

Because the boss died very suspiciously, before things became clear, Huang Hui was the one they pushed to the front to take the blame.

Once it exploded, it would be Huang Hui who was blown up. They were hiding in the back, so even if they were injured, their lives wouldn't be in danger.

In their thinking, as long as they proposed it, Huang Hui would definitely agree, because no one could refuse such a temptation.

Moreover, Huang Hui had always held onto quite a few industries. If she didn't agree, she would lose everything.

It was just that what they never dreamed of was that Huang Hui refused without hesitation and even persuaded them to leave Qi City.

What does that mean? If we all run away, do the territory and business belong to you?

Each got into their cars, sneers appearing on their faces. This sister-in-law is beautiful, but her thoughts are also quite beautiful.

The lame man got into a Crown, and the brother driving asked: "Boss, where to?"

The lame man leaned against the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and said: "Home!"

The Crown slowly drove out of the gate, and a Mercedes followed behind. Halfway there, the brother driving noticed it.

"Boss, Brother Bao's car has been following behind."

The lame man opened his eyes: "Pull over!"

The Crown's speed gradually decreased, and it slowly pulled over to the side of the road and stopped.

The Mercedes behind stopped behind the Crown, and immediately after, the car door opened. A young man, 1.9 meters tall, wearing a sleeveless vest, black shorts, and slippers, got out of the car and then got into the Crown.

"Lame Brother!" Brother Bao took out a cigarette and lit it for the lame man, "Sister-in-law told us to leave immediately. What do you think?"

"What can I think!" Lame Brother grinned, "You know in your heart how shrewd that woman is, don't you?"

Brother Bao was lost in thought, his hand holding the lighter not moving. After a while, a click was heard, the flame shot out, and the cigarette was lit.

"Do you also think that her telling us to run away is to take over our territory and business?"

"What do you think?" Lame Brother took a puff of the cigarette, "That woman has always been very ambitious, but while the boss was alive, she didn't dare to act rashly. Now that the boss is dead, her ambition naturally can't be hidden."

Brother Bao frowned tightly: "Then why, when asked to come out to preside over the overall situation, did she refuse?"

Lame Brother laughed again: "With that woman's level of shrewdness, she must have guessed our purpose, so how could she agree?"

Brother Bao took a puff of the cigarette: "She must also understand that it's impossible for us to leave, but she still reminded us to leave. What is her purpose?"

The lame man opened the window, reached out, and flicked the ash: "If any of you are scared and run away, she will have one less opponent. Why not do it? If no one runs, she won't lose anything either."

Brother Bao laughed: "This woman is really insidious enough."

Lame Brother suddenly asked: "Baozi, tell me honestly, do you have any thoughts about that position?"

Brother Bao was about to deny it, but Lame Brother waved his hand to interrupt what he wanted to say: "Don't deny it. I can tell you, I am determined to get that position. Because in front of me, except for Big Yellow Teeth, you are all juniors. But Big Yellow Teeth is cowardly and brainless, so only I can take the position. None of you are qualified."

"Lame Brother, what era is it, damn it, to still play that seniority set. If you want to take the position, you have to speak with your own strength."

Brother Bao looked at the lame man provocatively, then pushed open the car door and got out.

The lame man threw the half-smoked cigarette out of the car, then closed the window: "Drive!"

Brother Bao got into the car and told the brother driving about his conversation with the lame man.

A murderous look flashed in the young man's eyes: "Brother Bao, only you can sit in that chair. If Lame Dog dares to compete, I will break his other leg."

"Who said I want to compete for that chair?" Brother Bao sneered, "Lame Dog has always been insidious and cunning. We have to listen to his words in reverse. The more he says we can't leave, the more we must leave."

"After you drop me off at home, go home immediately and pack your things. Take what you can, and throw away what you can't. No matter where you go, don't come back within five years."

The young man didn't understand why he had to leave, but he knew Brother Bao wouldn't harm him, so he didn't ask anything.

In the Crown car, the lame man was also telling the brother driving: "Old Eight, leave Qi City before dawn tomorrow. Don't come back for a short time."

Old Eight was stunned: "Boss, didn't you say..."

The lame man smiled: "That was me fooling the fools. The boss was set up and killed, but that person was completely unaware. Obviously, he has lost control of the internal situation, and a storm may blow up in Qi City next. So we must leave, absolutely cannot stay, and come back after the wind and waves are calm."

Huang Hui put on makeup, changed into a white dress, packed a few changes of clothes, then took the key and opened the safe. Inside, besides some jewelry, there was quite a bit of money, including US dollars and Hong Kong dollars. In addition, there was a thick stack of bankbooks.

She took everything out of the safe, put it into a suitcase, then dragged the suitcase out of the room and went downstairs. Suddenly, she discovered that the young man hadn't left.

"Why haven't you left?"

The young man said expressionlessly: "My life was saved by the boss. He once told me that the person he cared about most in this life was you. So, I want to protect you for him."

"No need!" Huang Hui dragged the suitcase and walked out, "Old Ma is dead, and all my grievances with him have become the past. From now on, I want to live again and don't want to have anything to do with anyone or anything around him."

The young man stopped talking, watched Huang Hui walk out the gate, get into the car at the door, and speed away. He stood there for a long time before leaving.

At the Municipal Bureau, Deputy Director Meng Xianggui sat in his office with a gloomy face, smoking cigarette after cigarette.

Emperor Ma's death caught him off guard, and what made him even angrier was that the criminal police team was under his division.
