Free Web NovelChapter 193: Chapter 193: The Treacherous Turncoats
SMACK!
However, Shen Lingyin raised her hand and slapped Niu Xiaoli across the face. "What are you talking about, you treacherous bitch?! Kicking someone when they’re down?"
"And you two, Song Chao and Wang Fei, right? Just great!"
Shen Lingyin was seething with anger. "Who were the three shameless cowards just kneeling and begging for their lives? Xinghai saved you for Lulu’s sake. Are all you ungrateful little backstabbers brainless?!"
"Exactly!" Feng Lulu glared furiously at the three of them.
"Lulu, I’m just stating the facts, alright? He’s the one who caused this mess. Why should we have to suffer the consequences with him? Listen to me, come with me, quickly." Song Chao jutted out his chin, his face a mask of anxiety.
"You bastard!" Feng Lulu fumed, raising her hand to strike him.
But Song Chao grabbed her by the wrist. "Lulu, Jiang Xinghai can’t even save himself now. Let me protect you. We have to get out of here, now!"
"Song Chao, forgotten the pain already?"
Jiang Xinghai walked over, his expression chilling. "Get your filthy hands off her!" fгeewebnovёl.com
"I... You, stay back!"
Song Chao looked into Jiang Xinghai’s frigid eyes, and the reality of his situation hit him.
’Jiang Xinghai is a man who kills without batting an eye!’
"Let me go!"
Just then, Feng Lulu wrenched her arm free and ducked behind Jiang Xinghai.
"You, you, and you."
Jiang Xinghai was truly angry now. He stared at Song Chao, Wang Fei, and Niu Xiaoli. "What’s the point of turncoats like you even being alive?"
’This is bad!’
The color drained from the faces of Song Chao and the other two. They stared at him as if facing a terrifying foe.
’If Jiang Xinghai wanted to kill them, it would be as easy as crushing an ant!’
"Xinghai, maybe... just let them go."
Feng Lulu hadn’t wanted to plead for the trio, but no matter how they acted, they were still her old classmates.
Besides, it was her birthday, and she didn’t want it to turn into a chaotic, bloody mess.
Jiang Xinghai gave a silent nod.
’If it weren’t for the fact that it’s Lulu’s birthday and not a day for bloodshed, I really wouldn’t have shown them any mercy.’
Just then, the sound of numerous footsteps echoed from outside the door.
"The Thirty-Six Celestial Spirits are here! No one is to leave the room!"
’The Thirty-Six Celestial Spirits?’
The first to react was the KTV manager, Yu Hua. "This is bad. Every member of the Thirty-Six Celestial Spirits is a ruthless killer with a body count, and they’re all at least Half-step Masters! They’re one of the underworld’s secret squads, and rumor has it they only mobilize for major incidents..."
"Brother-in-law, what do we do?" Song Chao was completely dumbfounded.
"Go! We need to leave this place immediately and draw a clear line between us and them!" Yu Hua urged anxiously.
"Let’s go!" Song Chao scrambled for the door.
Wang Fei and Niu Xiaoli did the same.
But!
The corridor outside was already packed with a dense crowd of people.
They were men and women of all ages, and every one of them radiated an overwhelming killing intent.
The doorway was blocked. No one was getting out.
The group seemed to be waiting for someone to appear, content to just block the doorway without making a move.
"It’s over... we’re really done for this time..." Yu Hua was the first to slump to the floor in a corner.
Tears streamed down Song Chao’s face as he pointed at Jiang Xinghai and shrieked hysterically, "This is all you! This is all your fault!"
"Sirs! Ma’ams! We’re just witnesses! It was him, Jiang Xinghai! He killed Brother Qiang and the others! Hurry up and grab him!" Wang Fei added his own venomous, convincing-sounding explanation.
However, no matter how they pleaded, the crowd outside remained unmoved.
It seemed that in their eyes, Jiang Xinghai and his friends were already fish in a barrel.
"Song Chao, Wang Fei, Niu Xiaoli... I finally see what kind of people you really are. From this day forward, we are no longer friends." Feng Lulu was deeply hurt.
’This whole mess was started by Song Chao. If Xinghai hadn’t stepped in, they all would have been hurt long ago!’
’And now, just to save their own skins, the three of them were repaying kindness with hatred. It was unforgivable!’
"Damn it, you three are fucking disgusting!" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Shen Lingyin had long since had enough of these three. She clenched her fists and threw a few mock punches in the air.
In truth, facing the chilling pressure from the crowd outside, both women were afraid.
But they trusted Jiang Xinghai.
They couldn’t just stand by and let the trio run their mouths and twist the truth, just because they were scared!
"Lulu, thank you for drawing a line between us!" Niu Xiaoli was the first to snap back.
’This way, they’d have absolutely nothing to do with Feng Lulu and her friends anymore.’
"Hmph!"
Feng Lulu turned and sat on the armrest of the booth where Jiang Xinghai was, pointedly ignoring them.
Meanwhile, Shen Lingyin picked up the fruit platter and went back to peeling grapes for Jiang Xinghai.
"Things are getting more and more interesting," Jiang Xinghai remarked, continuing to eat his grapes.
’His plan had been to wipe out the Jizhou underworld within the next two days anyway.’
’If that was the case, then moving the schedule up by a day was perfectly fine!’
Song Chao and the others glanced at Jiang Xinghai. Seeing him still so calm and composed, they almost laughed out loud in derision.
’Keep up the act. Let’s see if you can still be as still as a mountain in a little while!’ Song Chao thought, gritting his teeth.
Wang Fei muttered under his breath, ’The guy’s just forcing himself to look calm. He’s just putting on a front!’
"How has someone like him even survived this long?" Niu Xiaoli sneered.
