Chapter 67: Well Done, No Disgrace—i’m Truly Moved, Hall Master
“Do you want to do it decently yourself, or should I help you do it decently?”
Lin Fan looked at Huang Wei standing on the horse carriage, his voice not loud, yet containing cold intent.
Run?
Where could he run to?
The Public Security Bureau and County Office’s joint operation had long sealed the city gate; people could enter the city, but leaving was difficult, requiring proof issued by the County Office.
Especially those guys from Loyalty Hall and Fierce Tiger Gang, don’t even think about it; they were all on the credit blacklist.
He couldn’t escape.
Huang Wei’s face was ghastly pale, cold sweat soaking the clothes on his back, as he looked at the motionless subordinates.
“What are you all standing there stunned for?”
He urged them.
Act, hurry up and act.
His tone carried a hint of pleading.
But this group of subordinates, whose eyes had been turned red by the huge sum of silver just moments ago, instantly sobered up at this moment; this silver had to be spent with one’s life, and they didn’t dare to act on impulse now.
Seeing that the subordinates remained unmoved, Huang Wei immediately kicked over a box onto the ground with a crash and clatter, broken silver scattering all over the floor.
“Protect me out, and all this silver is yours.”
The subordinates looked at the silver scattered on the ground, their throats involuntarily rolling, eyes filled with struggle and fear intertwined, but ultimately, their fear of Lin Fan overcame their desire for the silver, and still no one dared to move.
Suddenly.
One of Huang Wei’s confidant subordinates was seen, tightly gripping two gleaming butcher knives in his hands, walking out from behind.
“Hall Master, I’ll protect you out.”
This confidant subordinate was tall and burly, with solid muscles; it was clear at a glance that he was absolutely the toughest thug by Huang Wei’s side—with this physique, among the common people, he would be a big bully.
“Good man, you don’t lose face; Hall Master didn’t misjudge you.”
Huang Wei was moved to tears.
The confidant subordinate flicked his wrist, twirling two knife flowers, roared angrily, and charged fearlessly toward Lin Fan.
“Lin, others may fear you, but I, Pan Dalong, do not.”
“Let you taste Grandpa’s butcher knife skills.”
At this moment, his courage was truly commendable.
“Squad Leader, watch out!!!”
The constables shouted in alarm, some even wanting to block the knife for Lin Fan, but they were stopped by Lin Fan.
Just as Pan Dalong was about to rush right up.
Lin Fan raised his hand, with a crisp slap.
Pan Dalong only felt an irresistible tremendous force suddenly slap onto his face; unable to resist, his sturdy body completely lost control, feet leaving the ground, the whole person brutally sent flying, hurtling sideways.
Flying, I’m flying.
His mouth full of teeth instantly loosened and mixed with blood sprayed out wildly, half his cheek visibly caving in, twisting and deforming at a speed visible to the naked eye, his eyeballs nearly squeezed out by this immense force.
Bang!!!
With a muffled thud, he flew a full six or seven meters before crashing heavily to the ground like a broken sack, bouncing twice, then completely still and motionless.
“Earning just a few copper coins a month, why play with your life.”
Lin Fan shook his hand, his tone indifferent.
The scene was deathly silent!
So quiet you could hear a pin drop!
The subordinates were all terrified; what kind of power was this that a human could have.
Huang Wei’s soul fled in panic, his last hope shattered; he let out a strange shriek, suddenly leaping down from the horse carriage, his fat body erupting with unprecedented potential, fleeing desperately toward the direction with sparser crowds without looking back.
But the common people could move.
How could they watch Huang Wei escape? Instantly, enthusiastic fellow villagers surged forward like a tide, instantly closing in and directly submerging Huang Wei.
If it were before, they truly wouldn’t dare.
But now it was different; Master Lin was standing up for them, so why fear Huang Wei’s might? They directly surrounded him and gave him a brutal beating.
Huang Wei screamed miserably; with his obese build, how could he withstand the common people’s fury? He was beaten until he howled; by the time Huang Wei was dragged out, he was already bruised and swollen, blood trickling from his mouth.
Huang Wei was held by the constables, mumbling incoherently, seemingly saying something, but that didn’t matter—capturing him was enough.
“Master…”
At this moment, Huang Wei’s group of wives and concubines finally packed up and lumbered out with large and small packages; upon seeing their bruised and swollen master, they all panicked, and seeing the constables, they fearlessly rushed forward.
“What are you doing grabbing my family master? You have some nerve.”
“Do you know who my family master is? He’s Loyalty Hall’s Hall Master—release him quick, or you’ll regret it.”
“Who are you with? My family master knows Squad Leader Chen—if you don’t release him, Squad Leader Chen will skin you alive.”
Seeing this group of shrews about to extend their ghostly claws to grab.
Lin Fan didn’t think twice, stepped forward, and swung his arm.
“Slap! Slap! Slap!”
Several crisp, decisive big slaps precisely landed on their faces, instantly sending them seeing stars, hair disheveled, collapsing to the ground.
“Seal off the Huang Residence; take everyone away.”
“Yes, Squad Leader.”
The constables immediately got to work; though few in number, the deterrence was already there—this group of subordinates all followed obediently, not daring the slightest resistance.
The common people applauded and cheered.
Lin Fan faced the boiling crowd, raising his hand to gesture them down. “Fellow villagers, this Hundred Day Operation is a joint effort by the Public Security Bureau and County Office—not just talk. If you have any injustice, come report boldly without worry; I, Lin Fan, guarantee capture on the same day. If I hesitate, may I be struck by lightning.”
“Master Lin is a living Bodhisattva.”
“Well done, Master Lin.”
The common people felt today’s mood was like New Year’s—no, even New Year’s wasn’t as joyful as today.
After the main group left.
On the street side, second-floor private room of a teahouse.
Window slightly open, Qin Si and Peng Chang took in everything that happened there.
“Peng Chang… do you think Squad Leader Lin will come for me next?” His voice carried an obvious tremor; he was very afraid, having witnessed the capture of Huang Wei.
Truly explosive, showing no face at all.
Peng Chang swallowed, not very confidently: “Pro… probably not, Fourth Master. You invited him to dinner.”
“Dinner’s useless; didn’t He Sen eat too?”
“That’s true. So Fourth Master, what do we do now?”
Qin Si said: “You immediately use my secret stash to distribute money to those vendors. And have I bullied many people before? Immediately take silver to their doors to apologize on my behalf. Also, don’t I have plenty of arrogant, domineering, brutish subordinates? Have them turn themselves in immediately; I’ll give them silver.”
“Also, get me something good; I need to go see Wang Changhai—he should be able to save me.”
At this moment, Peng Chang understood that his own Fourth Master was truly scared.
He had never seen Fourth Master so afraid of someone.
“Fourth Master.”
“What? Why are you still standing there dazed? Go get busy.”
“No, Fourth Master, I think Fourth Master can invite Master Lin to the brothel. Men always have some hobbies, right? Sister Yan has many stunning beauties who sell their arts but not their bodies. If Fourth Master can persuade Sister Yan to let those stunners serve Master Lin, I think things afterward will be easy.”
At these words.
Qin Si furrowed his brows tightly, falling into thought.
On a man’s body, what is the most impulsive thing?
That must be the two taels of meat between his legs.
“Makes sense; you’re pretty quick-witted.” Qin Si thought it more and more feasible.
Peng Chang said proudly: “This subordinate is unworthy, but before following Fourth Master, I was a teacher.”
“Good. If this works, Fourth Master absolutely won’t mistreat you. But we need to cover both bases and do both sides to ensure nothing goes wrong.”
“Yes, this subordinate will go handle it now.”
Peng Chang swiftly left.
……
At this time.
At the Public Security Bureau entrance, the common people who heard the news not only didn’t disperse but gathered more and more, a sea of people blocking the street airtight.
Suddenly, a sharp-eyed commoner spotted the team appearing on the street and immediately shouted excitedly.
“They’re back; Master Lin and them are back.”
Everyone instantly stood on tiptoe, craning their necks in anticipation.
In the distance, constables were escorting the dejected gang member subordinates in a long line slowly approaching, accompanied by many frightened women supporting each other, following beside the team.
