Chaotic, a bit chaotic.
Ding Hui started to feel a headache.
She just took a stroll to An Mansion, freed up a day for Fang Yu, letting him do whatever he wanted.
Result... Explosive!
Utterly explosive!
What is this news?
This! Is! What news!!
"Do you know how much trouble youâll be in for killing the rising star of Foolish Underworld? That woman, even if sheâs fifty or sixty, is the youngest Hall Master in Thunder City! The most promising candidate to succeed as Master of Foolish Earth Mansion. Foolish Underworld had put so much effort into her, and now theyâre going to pursue you with everything theyâve got!"
Ding Hui began biting her fingernails, pacing back and forth in the room.
"We canât stay with Forest Snake Gang anymore, we need to leave here soon! Song Zhenrong has intel on us, even if itâs not from Song Zhenrong, our hiding in the Forest Snake Gang wonât last long. If Foolish Underworld acts in full force, apart from the Rebel Army and Ten Major Families, no one else can hide under their nose!"
Is it, is it that severe...
Fang Yu scratched his head.
He didnât know Xing Xueman was such a big deal, and sheâs actually fifty or sixty years old? She seems so young, almost like a girl in her early twenties, must have some secret ways to maintain her appearance.
As for Jinfang Zai, he looks like an average middle-aged man, neither expensive-looking nor ugly. If not for a prominent blood life bar, among the crowd, heâd just be an ordinary old Lao Deng.
"Letâs go! We head to the Rebel Army tonight!"
Ding Hui seemed to have thought a lot suddenly spoke.
"So urgent? We have so many things, better pack up generally, what about leaving tomorrow?" Fang Yu said.
Ding Hui closed her eyes for a bit, as if measuring something, then quickly shook her head.
"We leave tonight! Weâll start packing now!"
Her attitude was firm, Fang Yu naturally didnât have any objection.
The Rebel Armyâs base, cunning rabbits with three hideouts, flexible and ever-changing.
While Forest Snake Gang is just one base. If discovered, itâs hard to escape.
Looking on the bright side, leaving could also spare Forest Snake Gang a disaster.
"With the situation deteriorating, those verbal agreements with the Rebel Army need to be executed promptly. The more passive we are now, the easier the Rebel Army can manipulate us. If Foolish Underworld pushes us into a dead-end, the Rebel Army wonât even have to do much to make us serve them for life! To get out of this vortex, we must finish our tasks before the situation worsens, and then withdraw completely!"
Ding Hui started tidying up the room, digging out her strange collection from hidden corners, sometimes smelly, sometimes oddly shaped, varied without limit.
After a pause, Ding Hui suddenly stopped her action, turned to Fang Yu.
"By the way, do you remember I just told you about An Mansion entertaining the drugged people?"
Fang Yu, bending over and tidying up together, paused his work, nodded.
"I remember, whatâs up?"
"An Mansion is hosting quite a number of drugged people, almost all the guests have drugged bodies! What are they planning to do, and about to start doing? Master Quan Heng is now restricted at An Mansion because theyâre about to begin their operation. I canât see what theyâre planning yet, but whatever it is, once they start, it wonât be good for us, might even become a major event affecting the entire city!"
Fang Yu said seriously.
"What do you mean? Over on Master Quan Hengâs side, if heâs in danger, Iâll go save him."
"What are you thinking!" Ding Hui looked displeased: "What kind of person do you take me for? I wonât stop you from saving anyone. Iâm just telling you that we need to act quickly. Ideally, before An Mansion starts their big move, we sort out our affairs first, and then what happens in Thunder City wonât relate to us."
Fang Yu nodded.
He also wanted to sort things out quickly, but the news about Big Brother still hasnât moved forward at all.
Before encountering Hui Yao, he couldnât get any relevant information through other means.
"Lu Qiaochun!"
Fang Yu suddenly shouted towards the door.
With Ding Huiâs puzzled expression.
Creak.
The door was pushed open.
Lu Qiaochun, who had just finished her meal and arrived here, greeted respectfully.
"Greetings, sir, madam."
"Stay here to help madam pack up, Iâll go talk to the Gang leader about something."
"Yes!"
Lu Qiaochun obediently stayed to help, while Ding Hui frowned slightly, not liking this suddenly appearing âmaid.â
Fang Yu had already stepped out of the room, suddenly thought of something, and turned back to ask.
"By the way, what about Song Zhenrongâs side?"
Ding Hui shook her head: "Weâre barely safe ourselves and canât care about what happens there, letâs hope theyâre lucky."
Fang Yu sighed.
He had once been opposed to Song Zhenrong, but his impression of the person was still positive.
Unfortunately, the next meeting might be a clash of blades.
He walked quickly, heading straight for Fa Hongwenâs room.
On the way, he unexpectedly encountered Master Xiong of Forest Snake Gang.
"Mr. Diao!"
Xiong Rudong smiled heartily to Fang Yu, but only greeted him, seeing Fang Yuâs haste, he stepped aside early.
But he didnât realize this might be the last time they meet in Forest Snake Gang.
Therefore, Fang Yu suddenly stopped after passing him.
"Master Xiong, stay a moment."
Fang Yu called out, stopping Xiong Rudong behind him.
Turning to look at the kind-hearted man, Fang Yu said.
"If weâre acquainted, if you have trouble in the future, you can come seek my help. Within my capabilities, Iâll assist you once."
Xiong Rudong froze, not understanding what this meant.
He faintly sensed that Fang Yu might leave Forest Snake Gang.
Before he could ask, Fang Yu had already resumed his steps, quickly leaving.
That night, Xiong Rudong stayed guarding outside Ding Huiâs room, protecting Ding Huiâs safety, Fang Yu accepted this favor.
Only now he can barely protect himself, so he could only leave a promise.
If Xiong Rudong truly needs help, by then he should already know his identity from the Foolish Underworldâs wanted notice all over Man Cheng... As for how to connect with the Rebel Army, thatâs Xiong Rudongâs own business.
Step!
Stopping his steps.
Inside the room, certain joyful sounds could be subtly heard.
Fang Yu hesitated, knocked on the door three times.
Thump thump thump!
As the sound faded, an angry voice immediately came out from inside.
"Whoâs there! Canât you see the lights are off?"
The temper was quite fiery.
However...
"Itâs me."
Just these two words, inside suddenly came the sounds of panicked voices and some rustling as clothes were hurriedly put on.
"Sir! Mr. Diao! Why a night visit? Is there something urgent?"
As soon as the door opened, Fa Hongwen appeared, head sticking out with clothes askew.
Through the door gap, two naked women wrapped in sheets could be faintly seen, curled up on the bed.
Noticing Fang Yuâs gaze, Fa Hongwen smiled awkwardly, quickly stepped out, and shut the door behind him.
"Sir, my wife is sleeping inside, not quite convenient, shall we talk outside?"
Looking at Fa Hongwen living a life as luxurious as an emperor, Fang Yu suddenly felt something subtle.
Uncertain if completely elevating Fa Hongwen is good or bad for Forest Snake Gang.
But after all, Forest Snake Gang is just a temporary base for him in Thunder City, so he didnât care too much.
"Iâm leaving."
Fang Yu straightforwardly said.
"...What?"
Fa Hongwen was visibly stunned, seemingly not catching up with Fang Yuâs thoughts.
"Sir, sir where are you going? For how long? When will you return?"
"I might have stirred up trouble and need to hide for a while. If someone asks, deny weâve ever interacted, otherwise Forest Snake Gang might face extermination."
