What Are You Stealing the Spotlight For? No Time Like the Present

Upon hearing this, the members of the Heavenly Tiger Gang immediately became anxious.

Has the boss taken the wrong medicine?

This is a fantastic opportunity!

Xiong Er, standing nearby, quickly nudged Zhao Hu and spoke in a low voice.

"Brother Hu, you're already drunk after just a few drinks. Don't miss this opportunity!"

You drunkard my foot! I'm perfectly sober.

Zhao Hu was somewhat troubled at this moment, his mind racing, trying to think of a perfect excuse to get angry and leave.

At this moment, Xiong Da suddenly spoke up.

"Young Master Jiang, with the Jiang Family's strength, destroying the Azure Dragon Gang shouldn't be too difficult, right? Why did you come to us?"

Jiang Cheng was taken aback and glanced at Xiong Da again.

"First, you have a grudge against the Azure Dragon Gang. As for the second, it's inconvenient for my people to show their faces."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Heavenly Tiger Gang members turned grim.

Is it inconvenient for you to appear in public?

That's just using them as cannon fodder.

Unlike the others, Zhao Hu was secretly delighted, for this was the perfect excuse to get angry.

"Young Master Jiang has gone too far. The lives of my Heavenly Tiger Gang brothers are also lives. I can't let them become cannon fodder!"

Zhao Hu slammed his fist on the table and stood up in a rage.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Heavenly Tiger Gang were deeply moved.

This boss is the right one to follow!

"Don't use such harsh words. What cannon fodder? That's called a forward."

Jiang Cheng gestured with his hand and smiled confidently.

"And everyone, please don't get excited. I have another message to share. You can decide after you hear it."

Zhao Hu snorted coldly before sitting down again.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng continued speaking calmly.

"If I told you that the Azure Dragon Gang recently recruited an early stage Inner Strength martial artist, do you think they would target the Heavenly Tiger Gang?"

What?!

Jiang Cheng's words were like a thunderclap, stirring up ripples in the hearts of the Heavenly Tiger Gang members.

It's better to believe this is true than not to believe it is not.

Otherwise, if things go wrong, the entire Heavenly Tiger Gang could be finished.

"Boss, what do we do?"

What to do? Just make do with it.

Zhao Hu felt a headache coming on.

Normally, he should happily agree to cooperate now, then finish his meal and leave in style.

Seeing how this situation has become, he doesn't even know how to start the conversation.

Just then, my phone suddenly vibrated.

Zhao Hu quickly glanced at it secretly and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young Master Jiang, I need to think about this matter carefully, so I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, Zhao Hu couldn't wait to get up.

One of the underlings tried to open the door, but was stopped by a single look from him.

Just kidding, this is his part, why are you trying to steal it?

You'll get your chance to get beaten up soon.

Taking a few deep breaths, Zhao Hu rubbed his hands together and stepped forward.

Squeak—

As the doorknob turned, a size 43 foot appeared in his eyes.

Swift as the wind, a kick landed squarely on his already unattractive face.

The next second,

A shoe print appeared on Zhao Hu's face, and he stumbled back several steps.

"Boss, are you alright?"

Do you fucking think I look like I'm fine?

Zhao Hu roared inwardly.

Hiss!

It hurts so badly! We're all actors, but you really went for it, bro.

Zhao Hu glanced at his underlings who were still standing there in a daze and cursed.

"Are you just going to watch me get beaten up? Go get me!"

A moment later, they saw the Heavenly Tiger Gang, their faces bruised and swollen, squatting in the corner.

Jiang Cheng was dumbfounded. What was going on?

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from the doorway.

Before Jiang Cheng could react, a delicate hand touched his face, and a voice spoke with concern and anxiety.

"Jiang Cheng, are you alright?"

"Shen... Shen Xiyue, what are you doing here?"

Shen Xiyue remained calm and shrugged as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"This is my territory. Is it strange that I'm here?"

Forehead...

That makes so much sense!

Jiang Cheng was speechless for a moment, then pointed to the Heavenly Tiger Gang members.

Did they offend you?

"No."

Seeing Shen Xiyue's serious expression, Jiang Cheng was furious.

Why didn't you get someone to beat them up?

They're just bored and have nothing better to do!

"I was just kidding. Zhao Hu and I have some connection, so I came to check after I got the news."

Shen Xiyue glanced coldly at the corner.

"Right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Zhao Hu huddled up like a quail, nodding repeatedly.

The members of the Heavenly Tiger Gang were shocked.

I'm not a prison guard, and I've never heard you mention this before. When did our Heavenly Tiger Gang offend the Shen Family?

This is terrible.

Jiang Cheng's lips twitched, and he looked at Zhao Hu with pity.

Dude, you're really something!

Having a grudge against Shen Xiyue, how dare you choose to hold the event on the Shen Family's territory?

"Jiang Cheng, what do you want with Zhao Hu?"

Shen Xiyue asked the question knowingly, as she had already learned the reason from the bugging device.

They actually dared to set their sights on Jiang Cheng! The Azure Dragon Gang to die!

And to dare to associate with Ye Bufan, they deserve to die even more.

Jiang Cheng briefly explained the situation, Shen Xiyue frowned slightly.

Do you need my help?

"No, no need."

Jiang Cheng shook his head vigorously, quickly declining Shen Xiyue's offer.

If she were to actually make a move, Ye Bufan would likely have no chance of survival, and it would be bad if Kongyunzi were to leave the mountain prematurely.

Shen Xiyue didn't insist, and glanced indifferently at the corner.

"I'll spare your lives for Jiang Cheng's sake. Do you know what to do?"

"I understand, I understand."

Zhao Hu was a little frustrated. He had memorized so many lines, but only this last one came out.

Jiang Cheng smacked his lips, his expression complicated.

As he had anticipated, the process was... somewhat unexpected.

Shen Xiyue waved her hand, signaling her men to take the Heavenly Tiger Gang out.

"Jiang Cheng, I guess I've done you a huge favor."

"I guess... it counts."

Jiang Cheng nodded, his expression suddenly becoming wary. "What do you want to do?"

"I'm not going to eat you, why are you so nervous?"

Shen Xiyue chuckled softly, her lips close to Jiang Cheng's ear, exhaling a warm breath.

Cough cough~

Jiang Cheng shuddered; he felt strangely itchy.

This woman is acting like she's taken an aphrodisiac today.

So good at flirting!

Seeing this, Shen Xiyue stopped teasing Jiang Cheng and smoothed her hair behind her ear.

"It's not too much to ask me to treat you to a meal, is it?"

Whew~

Jiang Cheng's tense nerves relaxed, and he gave Shen Xiyue a reproachful look.

Why didn't you say that earlier? I almost thought this woman was going to eat me alive.

In truth, Shen Xiyue saved his life, so he really should thank her.

"Okay, shall we find a time?"

A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Shen Xiyue's beautiful eyes. "It's not a wedding, why bother choosing a date?"

"There's no time like the present, I think today is a good day, what do you say?"

Well, that makes a lot of sense; the words may be rough, but the principle is sound.

Seeing that Jiang Cheng agreed, Shen Xiyue could hardly contain her excitement.

Ever since Jiang Cheng's accident, she has been plagued by anxiety, fearing that she will lose him again in this life.

Originally, she wanted to slowly develop feelings for Jiang Cheng, but now her mindset has changed.

However, because of Qin Yan, she has never been able to find an opportunity.

Finally, Qin Yan returned to Capital.

Tonight, she's going to make Jiang Cheng understand her feelings!
