Chapter 236 - Borrowing a Knife to Kill Someone

Night had fallen, and the East Palace Nightclub, under the banner of the Qinglang Gang, dazzled with splendor, with luxury cars flowing like rivers at the entrance.

Inside an ultra-luxurious, extravagant private room on the third floor of the nightclub, a short-haired young man in his early thirties sat on a plush leather sofa, flanked by two sexy beauties.

These two beauties were coquettishly feeding the short-haired young man grapes and urging him to drink wine.

Aside from the two beauties, there were also several fierce and cold-looking men in black standing respectfully in front of them.

Ding Dong Ding Dong…

As the doorbell rang, the short-haired young man gave a side look to a man standing near the door, who immediately nodded respectfully and turned to open the door.

When the door opened, Jiang Yingming, carrying two gifts, walked in.

Approaching the coffee table, Jiang Yingming bowed and greeted the short-haired young man: “Good evening, Brother Liang.”

Still in his previous pose, the young man held a wineglass filled with a light tea-colored French aniseed liquor and glanced at Jiang Yingming, smiling, “Xiaoming, life’s been good since you’ve been with Xiao Yichen, eh?

Looks like you’ve become a refined person, setting yourself apart from us rough folks.”

“Haha, Brother Liang, you jest.

If you are a rough man, then I’m afraid I don’t even qualify as a country bumpkin or a street beggar,” Jiang Yingming said with a laugh.

“Brother Liang, this is just a small token of my appreciation for you.

Please accept it.”

With that, he stepped forward, presenting the gifts.

Brother Liang slightly turned his head and instructed a stern-looking man standing by the sofa, “Bring it here.”

The stern man immediately stepped forward, took the gifts from Jiang Yingming, and handed them to Brother Liang, who then passed them to one of the beautiful women.

The two beautiful women giggled as they helped Brother Liang open the gifts.

Upon opening the gift boxes, the beautiful women couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

Brother Liang glanced at the gifts in the box and nodded slightly, appearing somewhat pleased.

After the beauties placed the gifts on the large mahogany coffee table, Brother Liang said to Jiang Yingming, “You seem to know the score, remembering where you came from.”

“Haha, Brother Liang, you wrong me.

I always put you first,” Jiang Yingming said ingratiatingly.

Brother Liang laughed heartily and said, “Sit down.

What brings you here?”

Jiang Yingming didn’t immediately sit down but instead said, “Brother Liang, I’ve come to apologize to you.”

“Oh?

What have you done that you owe me an apology?” Brother Liang asked with a smile.

Jiang Yingming sighed and said, “Recently, I wanted to teach a kid a lesson, so I asked some slick-haired guys to beat him up.

Turns out I underestimated the kid, and they kept getting beaten up badly.

Last night, they brought sixteen Qinglang brothers and were still taken down by this kid, who’s now locked up in the police station.”

“It’s my fault for not knowing the kid’s capabilities beforehand, which caused our brothers a great loss,” Jiang Yingming sighed in shame, looking like it was all his fault, “damaging the Qinglang Gang’s reputation.”

Brother Liang snorted lightly and said, “I already know about this.

It’s not your fault; it’s just that those idiots were as weak as a woman who had been screwed for a whole day and night.

Seventeen guys and they couldn’t handle one kid!”

“Even if you didn’t come to me, this is a matter I had to settle myself.

That kid is as good as dead!” Brother Liang said menacingly.

Jiang Yingming gritted his teeth and added, “That kid indeed deserves to die!”

Last night, he had been scolded brutally by Xiao Yichen, told off for not even being able to handle a small matter.

This was the first time since he’d been with Xiao Yichen that he’d been scolded so harshly.

He paused, then spoke again, “However, that guy is a veteran, he truly has some skills.

I was thinking, it’s best to lure him to our turf and then torture him however we want, kill him however we want to.”

“Oh…” Liang Ge chuckled, “So you’ve already thought of a clever plan?

Let’s hear it.”

Jiang Yingming humbly smiled and said, “In front of Liang Ge, I don’t have any clever plans to speak of.”

“Enough with the runarounds,” Liang Ge laughed, “If your method is good, I won’t hesitate to adopt it.”

Jiang Yingming then said, “I’ll speak frankly then.

That guy has a girlfriend, quite a beauty.

First, we kidnap his girl to lure him here to rescue her.

Once he arrives, we can do whatever we want to kill him.”

As he spoke, he took out a photograph of Lu Xiaoman and handed it over.

Upon seeing the photograph of Lu Xiaoman, Liang Ge’s eyes immediately widened, and after looking for two to three seconds, he burst out laughing, “This chick is beautiful!

Alright, we’ll go with your plan.

Kidnap this chick, and then lure the good fellow here!

Hahaha…”

Jiang Yingming immediately smiled and exclaimed, “Thank you, Liang Ge.”

In his heart, he secretly thought, “With Liang Ge taking action, that guy is as good as dead, and it’s definitely going to be brutal.

Liang Ge is the favorite nephew of Baoye, one of the three chiefs of Qingcai Society, and has no fewer than three hundred followers, each capable of fighting.

They’re the elites of the Qinglang Society.

No matter how skilled that guy is, he can’t defy fate.”

After Liang Ge laughed heartily, he turned to a fierce-looking, stern man and instructed, “Xiaoying, take some people and find a chance to kidnap this chick in the next few days.”

He paused, then spoke again, “Remember, don’t touch this chick recklessly.

This beauty is truly not bad, and if she looks the same in person as in the photo, and knows how to play her cards right, I wouldn’t mind taking her as my woman.”

“Yes, Liang Ge!” The stern man responded, taking the photograph of Lu Xiaoman.

While Jiang Yingming was offering his poisonous scheme to Liang Ge, the nephew of the president of Qinglang Society, Ye Fan was spending time with Lu Chengqiang and Shi Sheng in a luxurious private room of a high-end nightclub.

Besides the three of them, there were six beautiful, young women in sexy outfits entertaining them in the private room.

Suddenly, Ye Fan heard his cellphone ring.

Pulling it out, he was surprised to see that it was a call from Nie Yuling.

“I need to take a call,” Ye Fan told Lu Chengqiang and Shi Sheng.

Then he stood up, quickly walked past the coffee table and sofa, entered the luxurious restroom attached to the private room, closed the door, and answered Nie Yuling’s call.

“Hello, Nie Yuling,” Ye Fan cheerfully greeted.

Through the phone came Nie Yuling’s cold, crisp, pleasant voice: “The Qinglang Society has suddenly intensified their attacks on the Qingmu Gang these past few days, and your bar might also be in their target range.

You’d better be cautious.”

“Alright, thank you for the heads-up,” Ye Fan said, “How are you doing now?”

“Not dead yet, no need to worry about me,” Nie Yuling’s voice carried a hint of warmth.

Ye Fan responded, “I’ll say it again, if you need help, call me and you’ll be surprised.”

“Got it,” Nie Yuling replied indifferently before hanging up.

She had heard this many times.

Initially, she scoffed outright at his words, but after learning that Ye Fan had some abilities, she no longer scoffed but still didn’t believe Ye Fan could really help her.

Now, her situation was indeed bleak, and hearing those words again, she felt a sudden flicker of hope.

However, she quickly scoffed at herself, shook her head, and muttered softly, “Nie Yuling, oh Nie Yuling, have you really sunk so low as to harbor hope for something clearly impossible?

Better to just defend against Qinglang Society’s attacks with your gang.

Don’t indulge in unrealistic dreams; they will only get you—and many of your gang brothers—killed.”
