Big Head Yuan, Stand Still, I'm About to Start Pass-the-Bucking

Footsteps approached from afar, a dense and massive sound.

Nearby neighbors shut their doors and windows tight.

"It's over, Zhao's second son is completely finished."

They knew the people arriving were from the Gangs. Those were all ruthless individuals. They had no idea what Zhao Er had done to provoke these Sha.

Lin Fan, gripping Master Li by the back of his neck, brought him outside and tossed him onto the ground like garbage.

Looking at the situation, there were at least twenty to thirty people.

Not many.

The Skyrocket Signal was conspicuous, but many people had gone home. They saw it but pretended not to. With their meager earnings each month, why risk their lives?

And those who could come now were all trusted subordinates of Yuan Jiang.

Seeing the large force arrive, Master Li felt much more at ease, no longer as terrified as before.

"Lin, you're finished. Being able to fight is useless. When you're out here, you rely on status, background, and subordinates. I told you to make peace, but you didn't. You're dead."

"Who, who the hell has the guts to oppose me, Yuan Jiang?" Yuan Jiang emerged with a sinister smile, roaring in anger. Upon seeing who it was, he was suddenly shocked, "It's you, Lin Fan of the Loyalty Hall."

As soon as he said this.

The members of the Fierce Tiger Gang felt a strange unease.

If there was anyone whose name had been ringing in their ears lately, it would undoubtedly be Lin Fan of the Loyalty Hall. He was rumored to be incredibly strong, to an extreme degree.

"It's your grandpa," Lin Fan said.

Yuan Jiang's face darkened, his anger burning. The main reason he hadn't launched an assault on Jili Pier recently was his fear of this guy who had appeared out of nowhere.

He was too strong.

He was someone who could influence the entire situation.

He wondered where that dog Wang Changhai found such a strong person.

Yuan Jiang looked at the gang members gradually gathering behind him, his mind racing. He seemed to have figured something out, and with a wave of his hand, he roared angrily:

"Beat him to death for me."

"Whoever kills him, I'll reward them with a hundred taels."

When the promise of a hundred taels appeared, the previously hesitant gang members became like they were on drugs, their eyes gleaming with greed.

A hundred taels?

It was enough to make them forget their fear.

Yuan Jiang intended to cripple Lin Fan. If he could cripple him, it would be like cutting off Wang Changhai's arms. Holding onto Jili Pier would be a pipe dream.

Facing the charging gang members, Lin Fan remained unfazed. The first subordinate to reach him, wielding a sharp axe, ferociously swung it towards Lin Fan's head.

Lin Fan sidestepped and kicked, hitting the man's chest and sending him flying five to six meters away, breaking the formation of the group.

Others swung clubs at him.

His arms moved like clubs, sweeping out. Each blow was as powerful as a bull, emitting dull thuds. No one could withstand even one of his attacks. In the blink of an eye, seven to eight men lay on the ground, moaning and wailing.

Zhao Er, wielding two rusty cleavers, roared and charged out of the house.

"Brother, don't be afraid, I'm here to help you."

The reason he only came out now was that finding the cleavers took some time, and he had knelt before his mother.

"Your son is unfilial, unable to care for you in your old age and see you off."

Buffs fully stacked.

Ready to fight to the death.

But when he rushed out, the scene before him stunned Zhao Er into place.

Wait, what was going on?

He knew Brother Lin was strong, but he never imagined he was this strong. People lay scattered on the ground, screaming.

And Brother Lin was like a God of War, lifting one person with one hand and throwing him forcefully, crushing several others. It was truly astonishing.

Yuan Jiang's scalp tingled, his head buzzing.

"Charge, charge for me."

He could only roar.

Hoping to drag Lin Fan down until he was exhausted.

Security Bureau.

"Master, what was that firework just now?" Yang Ming asked, confused.

Song Qing replied, "That's the Fierce Tiger Gang's signal. It looks like another fight has broken out."

"Ah, should we go and stop it?"

"Don't worry about it, let them fight it out."

Song Qing shook his head. Some matters couldn't be interfered with, even for him as a squad leader. The Fierce Tiger Gang had deep ties with the authorities, who turned a blind eye to their actions.

If he and his apprentice went over there alone, it was uncertain if they would even return safely.

As for calling on other colleagues, that was a pipe dream. These colleagues were all old hands; asking them to intervene in a Fierce Tiger Gang brawl would be harder than killing them.

Sun Manor.

Steward Li reported the situation. "Master, don't worry. This matter is as good as settled. I can guarantee we can win Lin Fan over."

"Good, good. If you can win him over, Master will mark it as your greatest contribution. When the opportunity arises, Master will promote you," Sun Xiao said, making grand promises. Troops were easy to find, but talent was hard to come by.

Clearly, Lin Fan was the talent he was looking for.

He had spent a lot of silver recently, but as long as there was a return, it was all worth it.

"Thank you, Master."

Steward Li was overjoyed. As for what he had just said, he was actually boasting. Whether he could win Lin Fan over was still uncertain in his heart. Mainly, he had discovered that this kid seemed a bit slippery.

He felt like he was being strung along, and it seemed Lin Fan just wanted to freeload off him.

Of course, he didn't mind. He could also take this opportunity to freeload. After all, the silver spent was the Master's, so why should he worry when someone else was footing the bill?

Just then.

A gang member rushed in. "Steward Li, something's happened! Something big has happened!"

Steward Li looked at the person who entered. This was an informant he had placed by Yuan Jiang's side, mainly for the Master. Currently, some Hall Masters harbored ill intentions, so placing informants was normal.

"What's going on?" Steward Li asked.

Sun Xiao drank his tea, his expression unchanged. He never concerned himself with such trivial matters, leaving everything entirely to Steward Li.

"Yuan Jiang has gathered a large force and is heading to the shantytown. He's going to… he's going to beat someone up."

Steward Li frowned. "So he's going to beat someone up. Why are you in such a panic?"

"No, the person he's going to beat up is Lin Fan from the Jili Pier of the Loyalty Hall."

"Ah…"

Upon hearing this, Steward Li jumped up on the spot, grabbing the gang member by his collar. "What did you say? Who is he going to beat up?"

"Lin Fan."

"Damn it all."

Steward Li's expression changed rapidly, and he was burning with anxiety. "Master, this is a real disaster! I had already planned to confront Lin Fan tomorrow and openly discuss the transfer. But with this happening now, it's over, completely over! All my hard work has gone down the drain."

"How much wine did I drink, how many meals did I eat, how much silver did I spend? It's all ruined because of that idiot Yuan Jiang."

"Damn him, he's truly damned. He can't accomplish anything and only ruins things."

"He has ruined the Master's important plan."

Steward Li's face turned red with anger, veins bulging on his neck as he frantically threw the blame onto Yuan Jiang.

He had already been thinking about what excuse to give if he failed to win Lin Fan over.

After all, so much silver had been spent, and the task wasn't completed. Even as the Master's confidant, it would be difficult to report back.

But now, it was perfect. Yuan Jiang had jumped out on his own. If he didn't shift the blame to him, who else could he shift it to?

Take it, Big Head Yuan. I'm going to pass the buck to you.

As expected, Sun Xiao's expression also changed. Yuan Jiang had indeed messed up his plans.

"Master, I'll rush over there now. Hopefully, there's still room for salvage," Steward Li said.

Sun Xiao nodded. "Yes, go. But I'll go too, though I won't show myself. I'll observe the situation on site."

"Understood, Master."
