Zhuang Linyan nodded, speaking with a voice suppressed by hatred, "That’s right! He is the Gang Leader of the Blood Wolf Gang, Cao Gang!"
"Oh!" Xue An responded meaningfully, then fell silent.
At the same time, Cao Gang walked into the hall, his face full of pride, nodding at the crowd who showered him with flattering words.
"In such heavy rain, I deeply appreciate all of you for coming to support!"
The crowd erupted in a clamor, with many small gang members shouting.
"Gang Leader Cao is too humble!"
"Indeed, being invited by Gang Leader Cao is our honor!"
For a moment, flattery and ingratiating words filled the air, making Cao Gang feel quite pleased.
He turned his gaze, surveying the room, and upon seeing Zhuang Linyan standing at a distance, his eyes brightened.
Zhuang Linyan, dressed in an evening gown, was sexy and alluring, stirring Cao Gang’s emotions. A faint smile appeared on his face, and he walked straight through the crowd towards her.
"Miss Zhuang, long time no see, you’ve become even more beautiful!" Cao Gang smiled, appearing quite courteous.
However, this demeanor seemed rather awkward when compared to his bear-like physique, full of discordance.
Zhuang Linyan’s face was as cold as frost, her eyes full of deep-seated murderous intent.
If possible, she wished she could rush forward and kill this murderer who had caused her brother’s death.
But her remaining rationality forced her to calm down, and she snorted coldly from her nose, her voice icy. "Gang Leader Cao, you went to great lengths to invite me to this banquet, not just for a few compliments, right?"
Cao Gang chuckled, "Miss Zhuang, you’re quite the joker. I organized this banquet merely to discuss how to proceed in the future! After all, Miss Zhuang, you’re a woman managing such a large territory, it’s truly exhausting. I thought perhaps I could help you! What do you think?"
Though his words were eloquent, they couldn’t conceal the compelling thug-like tone within.
At least Zhuang Linyan sneered angrily at his words, "Cao Gang, don’t you feel ashamed saying such things? Whether I’m tired or not has nothing to do with you, let alone needing you to help!"
Following Zhuang Linyan’s words, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
All the big shots present stared keenly, with nobody daring to speak, leaving the hall in complete silence.
Cao Gang looked at Zhuang Linyan, his face sullen, only after a while did he let out a weird laugh, "Good! What a heroic woman of integrity, but Miss Zhuang, I have to ask you something. Our Blood Wolf Gang’s Deputy Sect Leader, Hei Dao, went to deliver a message to you yesterday but hasn’t returned. What’s going on?"
Zhuang Linyan and the subordinates who came in with her all had slight changes in their expressions, none expected Cao Gang to suddenly raise such a question.
But Zhuang Linyan quickly responded, saying in a low voice, "I said yesterday, Hei Dao was drunk in my bar, but where he is now, I don’t know!"
"Haha! Miss Zhuang, do you think I would believe that? Hei Dao is the Deputy Sect Leader of our Blood Wolf Gang, not some three-year-old child. He disappeared after delivering a message to you, alive with no sign, dead with no corpse. Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?"
This was a perfect move of using one to kill another, not only eliminating Hei Dao through Zhuang Linyan’s hand but also using it as an excuse to press Zhuang Linyan, forcing her into a favorable position for himself.
The planning and scheming behind this couldn’t be deemed anything less than brilliant.
At least in this moment, Zhuang Linyan was rendered speechless.
And evidently, Cao Gang didn’t intend to miss such a rare opportunity, as a sardonic smile appeared on his face.
"I almost forgot, Miss Zhuang! There’s another big gift I have meticulously prepared for you, hope you’ll like it!"
With that, Cao Gang clapped his hands lightly.
Clap, clap, clap!
With the crisp sound of clapping, seven or eight people emerged from the crowd.
These people came in all shapes and sizes, but without exception, they were all major players entrenched in the outer city.
