Chapter 377: Rumors Are Fearsome! Donghai Hall

Just as the Six Harmony Association was quietly raking in riches.

Meanwhile, Donghai Hall was deep in a public‑opinion storm.

Even with their great prestige, they couldn't control the people's mouths.

In just a single morning, the entire southern part of South City pointed the charge of "illegal firearm possession" at them.

Some opportunists even simulated the gun‑purchase route of the Third Hall Master Qiu Lanxing.

The rumors were intimidating, sounding as if they were true.

When the Grand Hall Master of Donghai Hall woke up, it felt like the sky had collapsed.

Their attempt to steal the chicken failed and they lost the rice; even sending death soldiers and so many top Gang members couldn't capture Su Yang.

Moreover, they were falsely blamed.

Angry, he smashed everything in the office.

The whole Donghai Hall was immersed in a terrifying atmosphere.

Even a Hall Master went to ask the Boss whether the matter was true.

But soon after, the Search Army came knocking for inquiries.

No one dares to touch the Warlord's bad luck.

No matter how imposing they seem daily, when they see an Enforcer they must tuck their tail, bow and act as obedient as a grandson.

Facing the very imposing Squad Leader, the Grand Hall Master bowed and handed over a cigarette, lighting it for him.

"Captain, the rumors outside are absolutely baseless; it must be those damned dogs from the Six Harmony Association scheming against me."

"Whether true or false, we have to investigate first," the Squad Leader exhaled a plume of smoke, saying coldly.

"Investigate as you wish; a righteous person fears no slanting Shadow, you can even turn the world upside down and it's fine," the Grand Hall Master pounded his Chest, promising.

"Is that so?" the Squad Leader gave an inscrutable smile, "Seems the Grand Hall Master has already prepared a Retreat, just waiting for me to say that, huh?"

Hearing that, the Grand Hall Master felt a sudden thump in his chest, quickly waved his hand and said, "Nothing like that, don't listen to the outsiders' nonsense."

As the saying goes, rumors are terrifying; the Grand Hall Master even began to suspect that Qiu Lanxing was hiding weapons.

"I'm not here for any other reason today; I just want to check Qiu Lanxing's residence and the places she often visits. The Grand Hall Master won't mind, right?" the Squad Leader asked.

"Of course, if there's any need, we'll fully cooperate!" Upon hearing this, the Grand Hall Master broke out in cold Sweat.

He tried hard to distance himself, yet remained uncertain inside.

After all, yesterday's raid was secretly plotted by Qiu Lanxing and Mingguang Building.

He led it, but he didn't know Qiu Lanxing's Hole Cards.

If it's truly as the outsiders claim, and Qiu Lanxing was indeed found out for something…

The entire Gang, top to bottom, would suffer together.

"Then have the Grand Hall Master lead the way personally," the Squad Leader stood and said.

"This way, please," the Grand Hall Master forced himself to walk ahead.

Under the testimony of many Hall Masters, the Search Army began a brute‑force sweep.

Qiu Lanxing's residence was a mess, not even the wall cracks were left untouched.

After a thorough search, no corresponding Luoshi was found.

"Captain, we have nothing here."

"I have nothing here either."

Hearing that, the Grand Hall Master let out a long sigh.

This period was extremely agonizing, like undergoing torture.

The Squad Leader clapped his hands, saying coldly, "The higher‑ups are taking this incident seriously; in a few days professional personnel will arrive on the scene."

"I advise the Grand Hall Master to confess anything as soon as possible; otherwise, when they arrive, things won't be that simple."

"I…" the Grand Hall Master's face turned bluish‑purple, looking as uncomfortable as if he'd swallowed a dead fly.

He wanted to speak truthfully, but he truly knew nothing.

Qiu Lanxing is an independent individual; how could she possibly know what she did herself?

"Grand Hall Master, rest assured, we will never wrong a good person, nor will we let any bad person go; we'll also interrogate the Six Harmony Association side," the Squad Leader said.

"Su Yang?" the Grand Hall Master's heart flickered.

"He is still in a coma; we have already assigned guards."

The Squad Leader stared into his eyes, then shifted tone: "If he wakes up and confesses his evidence, that would be ideal."

"But if he says something detrimental to Donghai Hall, don't blame me for not giving prior notice."

Having said that, he left the apartment with his subordinates.

The Grand Hall Master's face was so gloomy it seemed to drip water.

He never imagined the situation would evolve to such a state.

He thought killing the lone Su Yang would be easy, but in the end it backfired on him.

"Boss, what if we… while he's in a coma?" the Second Hall Master made a throat‑slashing gesture, his eyes ruthless.

"Idiot, if Su Yang dies, it's like mud smeared on his trousers—pure filth!" the Grand Hall Master shouted.

Now his life is worth more than the entire Donghai Hall.

The Warlord watches him closely; if any mishap occurs, anyone with eyes will know it's the Donghai Hall's hostile hand behind it.

Killing to silence is absolutely unacceptable.

Especially at this critical juncture.

"Then what do we do? If that guy wakes up and babbles, wouldn't we be doomed?" the Second Hall Master worried.

The Grand Hall Master thought for a moment, then said coldly, "Then let him sleep forever!"

"You mean…"

"We absolutely cannot kill a person, but we can keep him in indefinite coma." The Grand Hall Master's Mouth corner drew a sinister smile.

The Second Hall Master instantly understood, "I'll take care of it right away."

"Remember, handle it cleanly, don't let anyone get a hold on you." the Grand Hall Master instructed.

"Don't worry, I have acquaintances at the hospital; once it's done, I'll make him shut his Mouth forever." the Second Hall Master nodded.

The Grand Hall Master looked at the messy room and viciously kicked the dressing box on the floor away.

"Damn the Six-Path Society, I'll definitely kill you all!"

……

Night fell, the hospital was brightly lit.

Doctors and nurses shuttled among patients, conversation constantly filling the ears.

Lin Yang carried a fruit basket to the ward.

Yet before he could go upstairs, he saw a group of people dressed in Search Army uniforms stationed here.

They carefully examined every person entering and exiting.

"It does save the manpower for guarding…" Lin Yang instantly felt a Laugh.

When he reached the fourth floor, the Guard personnel here were more numerous.

One person per five meters, the corridor was packed tight.

Every time the nurses passed, their hands holding medicine were carefully inspected, fearing Su Yang might encounter any mishap.

And outside Su Yang's ward door, there were four Guard.

They were all elite of the Search Army, their hand skills extremely profound.

Outside the door, Lei Cheng saw the newcomer and hurriedly rose, "Here?"

Lin Yang, through the glass, glanced at the Silhouette with eyes tightly closed, and asked, "How's the situation?"

Lei Cheng, without leaving a trace, glanced at the Guard, sighed, and said, "Not optimistic, the doctor says the condition is poor, don't know when he'll wake up."

Lin Yang forced back the impulse to Laugh, his face full of sorrow, "The leader's fortunate people have the Heavenly Sign, nothing will happen."

"Hope so…"

Lin Yang just as he wanted to enter, was stopped by a Guard.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm just going in to deliver a fruit basket," Lin Yang raised his hand to indicate.

Lei Cheng, seeing this, explained, "He is the leader's personal Guard, all are our own brothers."

The Guard, hearing that, carefully inspected the fruit basket, then touched Lin Yang's body, confirmed no issue before letting him pass.

Entering the ward, a strong scent of disinfectant pierced the Nasal Cavity.

Lin Yang gently placed the fruit basket on the Bedside Table, sighed, "Wake up quickly, leader; without you I can't even finish my meal."

He shook his head, and in the pause, took a slip of paper from the inner pocket of his clothes, pinching it with his Finger.

Then, disguising the action of covering with a blanket, he quietly slipped it into Su Yang's hand.

And whispered:

"First Place batch of goods sold, one million."

"The person you asked me to find has also been found; he'll be able to come tomorrow to replace you."
