Chapter 618: An Excuse to Join the Action

Chapter 618: An Excuse to Join the Action

In the original story, not only did Chu Liuxiang seek out Leng Qiuhun, but members of the Tianxing Gang, Tian Yizhi from the Hainan Faction, and Hei Zhenzhu, the daughter of the Desert King, Zamuhe, also made their way to Jinan, one after another.

Unlike Chu Liuxiang, who was completely in the dark, they brought with them portraits and letters from Qiuling Su. However, they were silenced one by one, and their deaths gradually provided Chu Liuxiang with clues to uncover the truth.

Speaking of which, Leng Qiuhun was quite lucky. Ximen Qian didn't give the letter to him but instead to his uncle, Yang Song, sparing him from harm as he knew nothing about it.

Jin Banhua was deep in thought when she saw a group of burly men in black carrying a beautiful woman wrapped in a quilt towards Kuaiyitang.

This must be Shen Shangu, the woman who had a romantic relationship with Song Gang, the second-in-command of the Tianxing Gang, and who had stripped naked and climbed into Chu Liuxiang's bed.

The next moment, a black figure flashed across the roof of the inn, blending almost seamlessly with the darkness of the night, gliding swiftly over two roofs and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Jin Banhua paused for a moment, glanced at Liao Gang and Ye Jin, and instead of pursuing the figure, she followed the group of black-clad men.

"Young Master, what are you doing?" Ye Jin asked hesitantly.

"Going to watch the show!" Jin Banhua replied decisively.

Liao Gang wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I'm afraid this show won't be very pleasant to watch..."

Jin Banhua waved off his concern. "Jinan is the territory of the Cinnabar Gate. If anything happens, there are taller people to deal with it. What's there to be afraid of?"

Liao Gang and Ye Jin could only smile bitterly and quicken their steps to keep up.

They soon arrived at Kuaiyitang and were about to enter with the group of black-clad men when they were stopped from entering the inner hall.

Leng Qiuhun came out personally and fixed his gaze on Jin Banhua, a hint of confusion and wariness flashing in his eyes. "It's so late, yet Young Master Jin isn't resting at the inn. What brings you back to Kuaiyitang?"

"I was having so much fun at Kuaiyitang earlier, and after leaving, I felt a bit hungry. I intended to wander around the city to find something to eat, but in Fengying Alley, I happened to see disciples of your sect hurrying by.

I didn't pay it much mind, but after having a quick bite at a noodle stall and returning to the inn, I saw another group of your disciples bringing a woman back in a hurry." Jin Banhua raised her eyebrows and smiled. "Has Cold Brother encountered some trouble? Is there anything I can help with? Aside from anything else, my two companions are exceptional fighters, and my sword skills are passable."

Liao Gang and Ye Jin felt bitter inside.

Leng Qiuhun's eyes fell on the lavish sword sheath in Jin Banhua's hand, adorned with no less than eighteen gems, and he, too, fell silent.

Jin Banhua continued with a smile, "Was that woman just now Cold Brother's enemy?"

Leng Qiuhun's eyebrows twitched, and he finally understood Jin Banhua's intention. A hint of a smile appeared on his lips. "So, Brother Jin is a flower protector."

"Not at all, just curious," Jin Banhua said, her eyes shining. "May I join in on the fun?"

Leng Qiuhun held Jin Banhua in contempt but didn't mind her presence. He gestured with his hand. "Please."

...

As Jin Banhua entered the inner hall, she saw Shen Shangu bound to the original gambling table, her eyes forced open to stare at the pile of copper lamps stacked in a tower before her.

Leng Qiuhun hadn't subjected her to any severe torture, and there was only an old man standing by the table with a bag of silver needles, casually inserting a few into Shen Shangu's body.

But Shen Shangu was trembling all over, her pupils dilated as if her mental fortitude had completely collapsed.

Leng Qiuhun introduced, "This is the famous Wu Liuye of Jinan City. His silver needle acupuncture skill is unmatched, and once he starts needling, even the toughest of men will spill their secrets."

"And rest assured, Brother Jin," Leng Qiuhun continued with a smile, turning to Jin Banhua, "Wu's silver needle technique leaves no lasting damage. This woman will recover after a good night's sleep, and you can do as you please with her then."

Jin Banhua stroked his chin and sighed, shaking his head. "You've certainly gone to great lengths..."

At that moment, Wu Liuye had already removed the silver needles from Shen Shangu's body and was bowing and scraping before Leng Qiuhun. "You give me too much credit, Mr. Leng. It was just a simple trick. You may ask her anything now."

Leng Qiuhun tilted his head, and a black-clad man led Wu Liuye out. Then he strolled over to Shen Shangu's side and asked coldly, "Who are you? Who sent you here?"

"I... I'm Shen Shangu. I'm a disciple of the Tianxing Gang... I'm Shen Shangu. I'm a disciple of the Tianxing Gang..." Shen Shangu murmured repeatedly.

"Tianxing Gang?" Leng Qiuhun was taken aback at the mention of the name, and his eyebrows furrowed as his expression turned solemn.

Although the Tianxing Gang was not as powerful as the Zhu Sha Men, and their influence did not extend to Jinan, they still held some sway in the martial arts world and were not to be trifled with.

"Could the Tianxing Gang also be after Zhang Xiaolin's business?" Leng Qiuhun's eyes narrowed.

Zhang Xiaolin had just given him three hundred thousand taels, mentioning a big deal worth three million taels that required Ximen Qian's involvement. However, Ximen Qian had received a letter and left, leaving the letter with Yang Song. They had gone to look for Yang Song and found his dead body, and the letter was missing.

Leng Qiuhun didn't want to give up on this deal, so he sent someone to keep an eye on Zhang Xiaolin, which led to the capture of Shen Shangu. He had assumed that the Tianxing Gang was also after this deal and hadn't considered that it had something to do with him.

Just then, Chu Liuxiang, disguised as Zhang Xiaolin, returned.

"This cunning she-wolf seems to have turned into a lamb. Has she really become so pliable that she'll say anything now?"

As soon as Chu Liuxiang finished speaking, he noticed Jin Banhua in the inner hall and paused, "Why are you here too, Brother Jin?"

"Brother Jin has a kind heart," Leng Qiuhun praised before standing up and addressing Chu Liuxiang, "Her will isn't as strong as it seems. Any man who expects a woman to keep his secrets for him must be a fool."

Chu Liuxiang sighed, "This kind of risky business isn't suited for women. Their place is in the kitchen and by the cradle, but unfortunately, the smarter the woman, the less she understands this truth."

Then, the plot followed the original story, with Shen Shangu insulting Chu Liuxiang as a beast, but also revealing that they had come not because of him, but because of Leng Qiuhun.

Leng Qiuhun was puzzled, but Shen Shangu insisted that the disappearance of the Tianxing Gang's leader, Zuoyou Zhen, was due to his search for the leader of the Zhu Sha Men, Ximen Qian.

Shen Shangu denied any involvement in Yang Song's death but admitted that Zuoyou Zhen had received a letter before he left, which he had given to Song Gang of Tianqiang Star.

And then...

Tianqiang Star Song Gang and the Central Plains' Red, whom they had hired, were about to arrive.

Shen Shangu laughed foolishly, "If you are suspected of killing our gang leader, we will kill each and every one of you!"
