Chapter 704: 700. Did I tell you that you could leave? (Seeking subscriptions and monthly tickets)

~7 min read 1,319 words

"If you have the guts, then pull the trigger." Yuehan looked at He Yong and stepped forward; at a time like this, as the leader, he naturally needed to step up.

At the same time, this could also stir up the ferocity of his subordinates.

Sure enough, seeing him stand beneath the muzzle of the gun, those subordinates immediately straightened their backs one by one, glaring angrily at Zhang Ran and the others.

Before He Yong could even speak, another group of people arrived outside the door.

This group of people wore a motley assortment of clothes; some were casual, some were in suits and ties, and there were even two who looked like a couple.

Yet they all shared one characteristic: they were ordinary, the kind of extremely ordinary that wouldn't attract anyone's attention.

However, one person among them was relatively eye-catching; this person looked to be in his twenties, had a scorpion tattoo, looked somewhat reckless, and at a glance, was clearly not a good person.

This person was Scorpion, and after the matter in South Africa concluded, Li Cheng had also shared his thoughts with Zhang Ran.

After considering it, Zhang Ran had temporarily transferred Scorpion over to serve as a hidden bodyguard; as for how effective it would be, that required time to verify.

Although Scorpion was reluctant to leave Li Cheng and the others, he knew this was an opportunity for him.

Moreover, now that Whale Shark had been wiped out, their Lieqing no longer had their previous targets, and furthermore, with a Big Boss like Zhang Ran now, there was naturally no need to worry about money.

They had been relaxed for a while recently, but having spent most of their lives on the battlefield, it was impossible for them to live a peaceful life; if they tried, they would surely go crazy.

So they would sometimes take on some jobs, and they hadn't completely detached themselves from the Underground World.

These people stood at the doorway; no one spoke, but their gazes were all chilling as they looked at Yuehan and his men, while everyone's hands were kept hidden.

At first glance, this scene was somewhat frightening, or rather, somewhat chilling; if not for the sounds coming in from outside, it would certainly have made the people inside feel as if they had entered some eerie scene.

Yuehan froze in place; at this moment, even if he were stupid, he understood that he seemed to have offended someone he shouldn't have, and someone he couldn't afford to offend.

The gazes of these people were truly too chilling, and he recalled having seen such eyes before; they belonged to a bodyguard beside his own boss, who was said to have come down from the battlefield.

Yuehan had also seen that person take action, and it was truly cold-blooded; when it came to killing, there was not a shred of emotion.

And looking again at the position of their hands and the gun in He Yong's hand, Yuehan did not doubt for a second that if his side had the ability to threaten the person still eating, this group would really take action, and without the slightest mercy at that.

"Yong Ge, what should we do?" Scorpion asked.

These people were temporarily handed over to Scorpion to manage; as for whether he could command respect, that would depend on him.

He Yong did not speak, but looked toward Zhang Ran, and Zhang Ran also did not speak, just silently eating his meal.

Zhou Gang and Xu Meijuan were both silent at this moment, standing blankly in place.

"This gentleman, I was blind and ignorant, I was a jerk, I apologize to you." Yuehan was also a man who knew when to bend and when to stretch; seeing that the situation was hopeless, he immediately lowered his posture.

And when a person like him lowered his posture, he would never care about his own face, so while he spoke, he slapped himself hard across the face, and the slaps were very loud.

After he had slapped himself nearly ten times, Zhang Ran felt a bit annoyed by the sound and said impatiently, "Alright, stop."

"Thank you, we will leave now and not disturb your meal." Yuehan said hurriedly.

After saying this, he prepared to take his subordinates and leave; as for Zhou Gang?

Anyway, just as he himself had said, the monk might run, but the temple couldn't, so it didn't matter if he let him escape this time; he could just come back next time.

But just at this moment, Zhang Ran spoke up again, saying calmly, "Did I tell you that you could leave?"

Yuehan was stunned; didn't that mean he could leave just now?

However, he didn't say anything more and turned back very decisively, because he knew that one must never go against such people, or they would die a miserable death.

A while ago in New York, there was someone who didn't have eyes and provoked a low-key super-rich tycoon, and then he was wiped out in one fell swoop; he was still sitting honestly in prison now.

And it was said that even if that super-rich tycoon didn't say anything, no one dared to give him any special treatment, so his days were extremely miserable.

Yuehan did not want to end up in such a state himself!

If Yuehan had known that the person in front of him was that very low-key super-rich tycoon, he would likely have been even more terrified.

But now, Yuehan was complaining and grumbling in his heart: what was wrong with these big shots?

Do they all like being so low-key?

If you had revealed these things earlier, would I have ended up like this, damn it?

Although he was complaining incessantly in his heart, Yuehan still asked respectfully, "May I ask if you have any other business?"

Zhang Ran finally stopped eating, looked up at him, and said, "Didn't you have something to say to him? Say it now, I'm watching."

As he spoke, Zhang Ran pointed at Zhou Gang.

As soon as these words were out, Zhou Gang and Yuehan were both stunned; do big shots nowadays care about such trivial things?

However, Yuehan's reaction was extremely fast, and he immediately said, "We have no business; since you have spoken, the matter with Jieke is forgotten. We will act as if it never happened."

Even without knowing this person's specific identity, Yuehan deeply understood one principle: never provoke those you cannot afford to offend, and certainly don't do something you'll regret because of a moment of stupidity.

Zhou Gang's face lit up with joy; he thought that because he had asked this big shot to leave earlier, his kindness had pleased the big shot, who was now helping him out.

But Zhang Ran said coldly, "I told you to state the matter!"

His voice was very flat, but it carried an unquestionable momentum.

Yuehan had a bitter face; he didn't know what this big shot was trying to do, but at this moment, he had no choice; looking at those people eyeing him like tigers, he knew that he couldn't get away with not speaking.

"We do some smuggling business; Jieke used to play with us, but he never got involved in such things. However, a few days ago, he suddenly started doing this business. In this area, everyone doing this business is one of our people.

Jieke stole our business, that's why things are like this." Yuehan said very concisely, and he didn't specify what the business was.

Zhang Ran didn't intend to keep pressing, but looked at Zhou Gang and said, "Is what he said true?"

Zhou Gang opened his mouth, and finally, under Zhang Ran's calm gaze, he said, "It is true."

Xu Meijuan looked at her son, her fingers trembling as she pointed at him, unable to speak.
