CHAPTER 275: CHAPTER 275 THE MAFIA OF CITY B 2(3)_1

How could they not want to join the Qing Gang when it’s this good? They must have been possessed by ghosts just now, which is why they fought against them.

"That’s right. As long as you’re willing to put down your knives and join our Qing Gang, we’re brothers, and no one can bully you," Li Qing said in a timely manner.

"We’re willing to join the Qing Gang and will serve it loyally unto death!" Li Lao was the first to declare, and the others quickly followed suit.

"What—what’s going on here?" Gui Mo was speechless, watching the people who had been fighting for their lives moments ago now acting chummy with those they had just been trying to kill, as if they were brothers.

"Who knows." Shangguan You rolled her eyes. An Obedience Curse would have resolved the matter easily, without the need for such a big commotion.

"Yachu, are you okay?" Lan Xuan dashed forward, her gaze fixed on the wound on Han Yachu’s body with some trepidation.

"I’m fine," he replied coolly. An iceberg is always an iceberg, cold to everyone.

"Girl, Han Shao was injured saving you. Go take a look at him." After checking that Shangguan You was unharmed, Shangguan Qing heaved a sigh of relief and then asked her to treat Han Yachu’s injury.

Shangguan You inserted a Golden Needle, and Zhu Li and her family woke up. Glancing at Han Yachu, who was still bleeding profusely, Shangguan You gave a slight nod. With a flash of golden light, two more Golden Needles were embedded in his hand.

The bleeding from the wound slowed and then stopped. Shangguan You took the antiseptic medicine from Han Yachu’s hand, sprinkled it on the injury, and watched as the wound slowly began to scab over.

A Medicinal Pill appeared swiftly in her hand. "Swallow this," Shangguan You said indifferently, handing the pill to Han Yachu, whose icy eyes flashed. He glanced at the increasingly enigmatic figure beside him and muttered a low, "Thank you."

"You got injured saving me, so you don’t need to thank me," Shangguan You said with detachment. Her gaze moved to the irreparably damaged restaurant, watching as Zhong Mingyang attended to the injured. Her lips twitched fiercely.

"Miss, your Medical Arts are incredible! Please, help our injured," Li Lan said quickly, looking at several people lying on the ground. If Shangguan You tends to them, the Young Miss can make her presence known openly and accompany us without arousing suspicion from her family, she thought.

"Girl, go on," Shangguan Qing nodded in agreement.

Thus, a mafia skirmish vanished into thin air. Through this event, Shangguan Qing and the others also came to openly know about the three major gangs of B City. Later, at Shangguan You’s instruction, Chu Yi left 500,000 for Zhu Li’s family as compensation for their losses.

They could have left them more money, but there’s no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world. Giving too much might have changed the simple, honest nature of the family, and that wasn’t something Shangguan You wished to see.

She hoped Zhu Li’s family would continue to maintain the happiness and warmth she’d come to appreciate.

「In the still of the night, it was Shangguan You’s time to act.」

In a villa halfway up Mingyue Mountain, the lights blazed brightly. Outside the large glass windows, numerous individuals in black patrolled back and forth, alert and vigilant.

In the villa’s living room, Chu Yi and Long Hua each occupied one Italian leather sofa, while Li Qing and Zhong Mingyang sprawled on another. Li Lan paced back and forth. Will the Young Miss come tonight? she wondered. When I saw her today, I wanted to rush over to her, but I didn’t dare.

"Madam Li, stop pacing back and forth; you’re making my eyes cross," Chu Yi said, watching Li Lan’s anxious and excited state with some speechlessness. If I didn’t know she was waiting for Shangguan You, I’d suspect she was this worked up waiting for a lover, he thought.

"Yeah, Li Lan, just sit down and wait," Zhong Mingyang couldn’t help but intervene. He, too, couldn’t stand her incessant pacing and murmuring; it made it impossible for him to focus on the television.

"Li Lan, the Young Miss will definitely come. We just have to wait. Sit down," Long Hua said, adjusting his glasses, also clearly bothered.

"Sister, sit down," Li Qing’s tall frame rose, and he coaxed Li Lan to take a seat.

"You all say the Young Miss will come, but what about all those bodyguards outside? If she comes, how will she get in? Chu Shao, quickly have those men stand down!" Li Lan urged.

"Li Lan, Madam Li, with the Young Miss’s capabilities, do you really think *they* can stop her? Don’t forget, when that Han fellow got injured today, the Young Miss was furious. I don’t know what sorcery she used, but those guys just inexplicably submitted to us and became willing to follow us," Chu Yi said, glancing at Li Lan with a sarcastic tone.

"Exactly. This just goes to show the Young Miss’s abilities. If she can’t even get in here, then she wouldn’t have the capability to make us follow her," Zhong Mingyang said slowly, adjusting his hair.

"Let’s just wait. We should trust our judgment and trust our Young Miss. Li Lan, if I didn’t know the Young Miss was a woman, I’d almost suspect, with how anxiously you’re waiting and constantly talking about her, that she’s your lover," Long Hua said, raising his glasses with a playful tone. Thinking of the Young Miss’s feigned frightened demeanor earlier today, his heart felt inexplicably stirred. Such a formidable person, yet she pretended to be weak. Even so, her pretense was rather endearing.

"Long Shao, what nonsense are you spouting?!" Li Lan’s face flushed crimson as she shot up from her seat, glaring at Long Hua.

"Alright, Sister. Long Shao and the others are just teasing you. Don’t take it so seriously," Li Qing said, pulling Li Lan back down to sit. It wasn’t just Long Hua; even he was starting to wonder if his sister had developed feelings for the Young Miss. Otherwise, why would she be so agitated? Truthfully, she and Zhong Mingyang shouldn’t have gone to that place today. But the two of them had insisted on going, no matter what, so in the end, he’d had no choice but to let them tag along.

"But, Brother, how can they say such things? If the Young Miss heard them..."

"Heard what?" A cool voice suddenly rang out. Shangguan You’s figure abruptly appeared in the living room, causing everyone seated to leap to their feet. Chu Yi and Long Hua shot up, their hands instinctively reaching for the guns behind their backs. Damn it, that scared us to death! Appearing so suddenly! Zhong Mingyang’s scalpel nearly flew from his hand, and Li Qing and Li Lan were just as startled.
