King of Assassins-Chapter 165 - 158 Lively

Gao Xuan was slightly surprised that the other party actually knew him?

Mingjing City was too large with a vast population. He was only well-known at Mingjing University. In the circles of the Mingjing City elite, he might also be quite famous.

For someone like this burly man, who’s mixed up with gangs, to recognize him meant his reputation had truly spread beyond his usual circles.

You have to know that people like this burly man have their own forms of entertainment, and they wouldn’t care about information from Mingjing University.

Curious, Gao Xuan asked, "You know me?"

The burly man laughed heartily, "I don’t know, but for a special person like you, it’s still easy to find out about you."

The burly man didn’t know Gao Xuan but, seeing his appearance, knew his information would be easy to check.

He contacted friends in the Law Enforcement Department to check the photo, immediately finding out Gao Xuan’s identity: a Mingjing University student from a mountainous area.

Having looked at Gao Xuan’s basic information, the burly man felt assured.

Coming from a mountainous area, no matter how outstanding such a student was, he posed no threat. It was the few girls around Gao Xuan, who seemed extraordinarily poised, that looked like they wouldn’t be easy to deal with.

He also sent their photos over, but couldn’t find any information on them.

The burly man said, "You seriously injured my subordinates, you have to account for this. Put up a million for medical expenses, and I won’t fuss over it."

Gao Xuan glanced at Xu Lingyun, "You knocked them down, now you have to pay, right?"

Xu Lingyun looked all innocent, "Godfather, I did this to avenge you."

Having mingled with gangs, Xu Lingyun was thick-skinned and slick in doing things. He knew Gao Xuan had money and he, for one, would never shell out anything.

If he had to cough up a million, he’d rather fight with his life on the line.

Gao Xuan nodded, "That’s true, but I don’t have money either."

He said to the burly man, "Brother, wait here, I’ll call someone to bring you money."

The members of Fierce Tiger Society saw Gao Xuan speaking so frivolously, all wearing angry expressions.

The leading burly man, however, didn’t get angry, nodding at Gao Xuan, "I’m Wang Laohu, I’ll wait for your call."

He said humorously, "I really want to see whom you can call."

Gao Xuan smiled a little, "Hold your horses, they’ll be here soon."

Wang Laohu was also composed, calling over the barbecue master, a group of burly men started settling in to eat skewers.

The group of burly men were eating and drinking, occasionally casting cold sidelong glances at Gao Xuan and company, their momentum grew stronger.

As for the few injured guys, they were all taken away, leaving only the Veteran as a witness.

Jiang Xuejun was very annoyed by the looks she was getting, she whispered to Gao Xuan, "When is your old lover getting here?"

Having stirred up trouble here, she didn’t want her family to know. Now she could only wait for Bai Yutang to come resolve the situation.

Gao Xuan, in a bad mood, replied, "Lover is lover, don’t add ’old’. Sister Tang is mature, you green kids can’t compare."

Jiang Xuejun’s face heated up, but she couldn’t compete with the experienced Gao Xuan in this regard. She could only pout and keep quiet.

A few minutes later, a flying ship cut through the sky and landed directly on the long street with a hard stop.

From the flying ship emerged Bai Yutang, wearing a white business suit, capable and dashing, yet unable to hide the gentle, charming allure in her eyes. Her appearance immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

The group from Fierce Tiger Society stared intently, with the Veteran uncontrollably swallowing a mouthful of saliva, "This woman is really something."

Wang Laohu’s face, however, turned exceptionally solemn because he recognized Bai Yutang, the General Manager of Zhengqi Hall, a famed big figure in Mingjing City.

In their line of work, the most important thing wasn’t being able to fight, but having brains and foresight.

Mingjing City’s most influential elites, Wang Laohu had them archived in his Personal Light Computer. Besides, with Bai Yutang’s level of beauty, he wouldn’t have mistaken her even without a Personal Light Computer.

Wang Laohu initially thought Gao Xuan was just a pretty boy, at most knowing a few well-off classmates. He never expected Gao Xuan to directly summon Bai Yutang.

Wang Laohu hesitated but then stood up, considering it an opportunity. If he could establish a connection with Bai Yutang, he’d be successful.

Bai Yutang didn’t even look at Wang Laohu, she went straight over to hold onto Gao Xuan’s arm, speaking softly, "It’s so late, why are you in such a place, it’s neither safe nor sanitary..."

"Just came out to see some excitement."

Gao Xuan said grinning, "Thankfully Sister Tang came quickly, otherwise I’d have been beaten to death. Sister Tang really loves me."

Bai Yutang also laughed. With Gao Xuan’s skills, this group of people could all be dead and he wouldn’t even break a sweat.

But hearing Gao Xuan say that still warmed her heart and made her inexplicably happy.

"Let’s go, it’s so late."

Bai Yutang nodded slightly to Jiang Xuejun and the others, then took them onto the flying ship.

Wang Laohu wanted to go up to say hello, but Bai Yutang’s female aide blocked him, "If you have something to say, say it to me."

The female aide was of ordinary appearance but had a somber look.

Wang Laohu eyed her cautiously, feeling a bit wary. This woman was evidently a master and stronger than him.

Behind the female aide were also two large female bodyguards, their eyes sharp, hands resting on their waists, looking ready to act at any moment.

The two female bodyguards were also very skilled, making Wang Laohu feel tense and not daring to act rashly.

He said very politely, "I’m Wang Laohu, may I know your name?"

"Wang Laohu, noted. You can go back now."

The female aide had no intention of having a conversation, waving her hand to signal Wang Laohu to leave.

Wang Laohu was very displeased. In his own territory, the other party still behaved so high and mighty. The key point was that this woman was just an aide.

If Bai Yutang were here to boss him around, he would endure it.

"Gao Xuan severely injured my men. I’m giving face to President Bai, but you should also give me some face."

Wang Laohu said in a deep voice.

The female aide sneered, "Give you face? Who do you think you are? There’s nothing to talk about, leave immediately."

The female aide’s attitude was arrogant and overbearing, so much that Wang Laohu felt like smashing this woman’s head with a punch.

But he ultimately had a brain, and despite his anger, he restrained himself and left with his people.

More than a hundred people gathered and left together, quite a spectacle.

Wang Laohu had a sullen face, his tiger-like face full of murderous intent, as if he really wanted to devour someone.

The Veteran followed beside Wang Laohu, discontentedly saying, "Those guys are too arrogant. Damn, I really want to show them what’s what."

Wang Laohu snapped irritably, "Shut the fuck up."

The Veteran was startled and didn’t dare say another word.

Wang Laohu returned to his villa with a few trusted followers, sitting in the living room fuming, unable to vent his anger.

He finally went to the underground chamber where he had kept prisoners, killing two captured girls to quell his violent urges, finally calming down.

Back in the living room, Wang Laohu regretted his impulsive actions; killing two of them meant losing hundreds of thousands. It was totally unnecessary.

However, what happened today couldn’t just be left like this. He didn’t dare to go against Bai Yutang; among those five, there had to be a soft target—one he had to find and kill.

Wang Laohu was stewing in his thoughts when he suddenly received an anonymous text message: "Leave immediately, get on the car at Old Red Temple Crossing."

Wang Laohu was shocked; the message was from a friend in the Law Enforcement Department, subtly indicating it was of the utmost urgency.

He was somewhat puzzled. He’d only had a minor conflict with Gao Xuan; was the other party already making a move against him?

Despite his puzzlement, he didn’t dare hesitate.

Wang Laohu went to the study at once, grabbing weapons and some precious gems before unhesitatingly leaving through the basement secret passage.

Navigating through the intricate underground tunnels, Wang Laohu arrived at the specified location.

The iron-gray walls were damp, and an unknown stench clung to his nose. This cramped space had no light source, making Wang Laohu feel even more stifled.

Over the years, his life had become increasingly comfortable; he was very unaccustomed to the filthy underworld.

A man in black emerged from a corner, appearing sinister with a hood concealing his face.

In the dim environment, Wang Laohu couldn’t make out the man’s face. This kind of meeting made him even more uneasy.

The man in black whispered, "Bai Yutang is making a move against you; the Law Enforcement Department will act by dawn. Because of Luojia’s concert, the department plans to eradicate all unstable elements with lightning force. You should go quickly; if caught, it’ll truly be the end."

The man in black handed Wang Laohu a key, "There’s a car ready for you; hide in the deep underground for half a year."

"Brother Zhang, I’ll forever remember this great favor. I’ll repay you when I return."

Wang Laohu was frightened, uttering some perfunctory words before hurriedly getting into the car. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

As the car door closed, Wang Laohu suddenly had a bad premonition. Then, the car exploded into a fiery blaze.

Under the blast’s shockwave, Wang Laohu was torn apart, his flesh carbonized in the intense flames.

The man in black looked at the raging flames, sighed lightly, "Sorry, brother. It’s safest if you’re dead..."

The man in black emerged from the underground passage, only then finding a safe spot to send a video: "Sir, Wang Laohu has been dealt with."

The other end of the video was turned off, only a deep voice asked: "Why did this happen suddenly?"

"It was an issue caused by Wang Laohu’s men, purely accidental," the man in black respectfully explained, "The venue beneath is already set up, and with Wang Laohu’s death, secrecy is maintained."

"Handle the aftermath properly," instructed the voice from the other side, then the video was closed.

The man in black also breathed a sigh of relief, glancing around before straightening his clothes and confidently boarding a flying car.

Once the man in black left, Gao Xuan’s Spirit Projection Avatar appeared. Studying the Law Enforcement Department license plate on the flying car, he mused: Wang Laohu really did have trouble... Mingjing City is bustling!

The next morning, all the core members of the Fierce Tiger Society were captured. The Veteran and other key figures were shot dead on the spot for resisting.

The Fierce Tiger Society, once dominant in the Sixth Ring West Third District, disintegrated just like that.

For the upper echelons of Mingjing City, Wang Laohu and the Fierce Tiger Society were low-level and insignificant. No one cared about their fate.

Even Wang Laohu’s backers wouldn’t comment much. In these special times, Wang Laohu had crossed the wrong people. He had to accept his bad luck.

When Bai Yutang received the news, she was still lounging in bed. Such trivial matters generally didn’t interest her, but because they involved Gao Xuan, she leveraged her connections to deal a deadly blow.

Today was Luojia’s rehearsal day; the venue would undergo a thorough security check.

For some reason, Bai Yutang just didn’t want to get up.

Her cheek rested on Gao Xuan’s chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, her heart naturally settled down.

Gao Xuan gently stroked Bai Yutang’s face: "What’s up?"

"Nothing much, I just want to hold you like this."

Bai Yutang initially intended to discuss the Fierce Tiger Society with Gao Xuan, but suddenly she didn’t feel like talking about it anymore. She just wanted to nestle and embrace Gao Xuan, feeling that was better than anything else.

Gao Xuan gently embraced Bai Yutang, saying nothing further.

After a while, Bai Yutang sighed softly, "I still have things to do; I need to get up."

She lifted her head, casually saying, "Ms. Luojia invited you to watch a rehearsal. Are you free this afternoon?"

Bai Yutang hesitated before adding, "If you don’t want to go, it’s fine. You can just watch the concert tomorrow."

Gao Xuan cheerfully replied, "Luojia is my idol. Meeting her alone is fantastic."

"Alright then, I’ll come pick you up this afternoon."

Bai Yutang was somewhat reluctant for Gao Xuan to go, but it was Luojia’s request and Gao Xuan wanted to go, so she couldn’t stop it.

The forced smile on her face could hardly be missed.

Gao Xuan chuckled, cupping Bai Yutang’s face, "Sister Tang, you seem a bit worried. Are you afraid Luojia will fall for me? Haha, don’t worry. Even if she loves me, I’ll still love you..."

"Talking nonsense again."

Bai Yutang lightly tapped Gao Xuan with faux annoyance, seriously instructing him: "Gao Xuan, Luojia is a superstar with immense influence. Don’t joke around with her."

"Rest assured, I know my limits."

Gao Xuan confidently said, "I even prepared a small gift for my idol. She’ll definitely like it..."
