The young man and woman appearing in the Sunshine Inn in Qiyang City, Yongzhou Province, are Xin Yi and Lu Hanmeng. Their current identities are wanted murder suspects Xin Shanli and Lu Linxi, who are being pursued by the Longchuan Police. The Longchuan City Public Security Bureau has not only published their photos and information online but has also sent letters to nearby brother units, requesting assistance in capturing this pair of murder suspects.
Xin Yi stepped out wearing a bathrobe, while the Wolf-Headed Young Man inside the room stood awkwardly. Lu Hanmeng did not invite him to sit, and he wanted to display a gentlemanly demeanor that he did not possess in front of this beautiful woman, resulting in a somewhat comical atmosphere.
Xin Yi lightly coughed and greeted, "Oh! You must be Brother Teng? Please have a seat! Lin Xi, what are you doing? Hurry up and make tea for Brother Teng!"
The young man named Ma Huateng finally snapped back to reality and smiled at Xin Yi, saying, "No need to be polite. You must be Brother Xin Shanli that Brother Ju mentioned, right? I'm Ma Huateng; you can just call me Ah Teng."
Ma Huateng is an ordinary member under the Black Dragon Society's Kanglong Hall in Yongzhou. He was contacted through Longhua's connections within the Black Dragon Society, specifically by Brother Ju, who claimed that Xin Shanli is a distant relative of his. Recently, Xin Shanli committed a crime in Longchuan and fled to Qiyang City, prompting Ma Huateng to come as Xin Shanli's referral for joining the society.
Ma Huateng knew that the young man named Xin Shanli was rumored to be a murderer responsible for four deaths in Longchuan. However, he could not perceive any ruthlessness in him; on the contrary, he appeared friendly and approachable. When he smiled, it was quite radiant—how could this person be the brutal killer of four people?
Those involved in the underworld have historically held a sense of reverence for the strong. Thus, even though Ma Huateng was new to this environment, he respected the young man named Xin Shanli. Otherwise, with his seasoned rogue status, how could he speak so politely to Xin Yi?
"Brother Teng is being too polite. In Qiyang City, I will rely on your help more often. Besides, you should be slightly older than me, so it's only natural for me to call you Brother Teng. Hahaha..." Xin Yi said with a laugh.
Ma Huateng immediately developed a favorable impression of Xin Yi; this was a polite young man. According to the rules of their world, someone like him who had killed before would at least receive treatment equivalent to that of an elder brother. The fact that he was so courteous to someone as lowly as Ma Huateng proved his humility. As sages say, humility is a virtue; it seems they were right—just a little humility from Xin Yi won over the heart of a seasoned gangster.
At that moment, Lu Hanmeng reluctantly brought over two cups of tea. Of course, she did not use cold water this time, although she had considered it. Ma Huateng quickly asked Xin Yi, "Is this your sister-in-law? She is truly beautiful; Brother Xin Shanli is indeed fortunate!"
"Fortunate?" Xin Yi replied with a bitter smile. "Her name is Lu Linxi; she’s my girlfriend. As for her looks... well, she's passable. But as for what Brother Teng said about being fortunate... heh heh heh... it is indeed fortunate."
Hearing Xin Yi repeat "fortunate" four times while observing Lu Hanmeng's exasperated expression made Ma Huateng unsure whether it was his words or something else that had gone wrong. Logically speaking, having such a beautiful girlfriend should be considered fortunate; however, why did their expressions seem so strange?
Not wanting to pry further into the matter, Ma Huateng shifted topics: "Brother Ju asked me to find you and said I should introduce you to join our Black Dragon Society. I’ve already spoken with our Altar Master today; he wants to meet you in person before deciding whether to accept you. If you have time now, let’s go."
"Sure! Thank you, Brother Teng! I’ll treat you to drinks another day! Lin Xi, change your clothes so we can go; let’s not keep him waiting too long. Brother Teng, please wait for us downstairs for a moment while we get ready." Xin Yi said.
As soon as Ma Huateng stepped out, Lu Hanmeng turned around and glared fiercely at Xin Yi, saying, "What do you mean by what you just said?! Are you saying that having a girlfriend like me isn't a blessing for you?"
"Well, maybe, probably, it shouldn't count," Xin Yi quickly added as he saw Lu Hanmeng about to explode. He hurriedly changed his tone and said, "What I meant is, aren't you just pretending to be my girlfriend right now? Even if you're beautiful and amazing, that's still not really a blessing for me, right?"
"Then do you want me to really become your... girlfriend?" Lu Hanmeng suddenly asked shyly with a flirtatious look, her expression making Xin Yi's heart race. This Violent Girl is quite alluring when she’s gentle.
Xin Yi thought seriously for a moment before nodding and replying, "I guess I do..."
"I think you're just daydreaming!" Lu Hanmeng suddenly exploded in anger and kicked towards Xin Yi's abdomen while cursing, "I knew you were a fickle jerk! A pervert!"
Damn! Are you trying to ruin the happiness of countless women? If you kick me there, it would be disastrous! The women would surely come after you. Xin Yi quickly dodged Lu Hanmeng's ruthless attack and thought resentfully: Wasn't it you who asked me first? I was just being honest in my answer; how is that wrong? What kind of world is this? Why is it so hard to be an honest person?
...
After a fierce scuffle in the room, when Xin Yi changed clothes and went downstairs with Lu Hanmeng, Ma Huateng had already extinguished several cigarette butts in the ashtray in front of him. Xin Yi said apologetically, "Sorry, Teng Ge, I got held up with some things. Thanks for waiting. Hehe, let’s go."
Ma Huateng looked at the blushing Lu Hanmeng and said to Xin Yi, "Hehe... It's okay. These things are understandable. If I had such a beautiful girlfriend, I would too, hehe..."
At that moment, Lu Hanmeng wanted to kill him.
They were headed to a large roadside stall—just one of those makeshift tents with greasy plastic tables and chairs, crates of beer everywhere, along with the noisy clamor and drifting oil smoke.
On the way, Ma Huateng briefly introduced the Altar Master they were going to meet. The so-called Altar Master in the Black Dragon Society was just a small boss with dozens of underlings. His usual income wasn't much; he mainly lived off the salary distributed by the Black Dragon Society. To put it simply, he was just doing some rough work. If the gang told him to beat someone up, he did it; if they told him to collect protection fees from someone, he did that too; if they told him to smash someone's shop, he smashed it; then he got paid at the end of the month.
The Altar Master shared the same surname as the martial saint Guan Yu; his name was Guan Yong. His underlings called him Brother Yong. He had two notable characteristics: first, he was extremely lecherous and had reached a point where he would take any woman alive; second, he was incredibly ugly. This second characteristic made his first one even more pronounced—being ugly meant he would find even pigs attractive.
Although they were mentally prepared for it, when Xin Yi and Lu Hanmeng saw Guan Yong, they couldn't help but feel their stomachs churn. Being ugly is one thing, but you can't be this ridiculously ugly! Just looking at his figure—he was equally tall and wide. And that face—was that even a human face? If it was confirmed to be human, then it could only belong to a genetic mutant.
The head was as large as a basin, with a tangled mass of dry grass-like hair coiled messily on top. His eyes were as big as copper bells, bulging out from their eyelids. A wide mouth stretched down to his ears, and while people often say someone has a mouth big enough to fit an egg, his could fit an ostrich egg. When he opened his mouth, two rows of blackened teeth gleamed under the light. Even more exaggerated was his skin, which looked like it had been burned, displaying a horrifying purplish hue with many areas twisted together, dotted with large, pus-filled pimples. Xin Yi and Lu Hanmeng genuinely admired those little brothers who shared a table with him; they were truly strong!
The three of them walked to a spot not far from the table. Lu Hanmeng hesitated, pulling on Xin Yi's arm, unwilling to approach. Xin Yi felt the same way, so they stood still. Ma Huateng seemed to understand their feelings and lowered his voice to say, "Actually, it gets easier once you get used to it. We brothers have all been through this; we also endured a hellish training back then... So, should I go over and talk to him first?"
"Alright, thank you for your hard work," Xin Yi replied. Indeed, this task seemed quite arduous for both Xin Yi and Lu Hanmeng; if given a choice, they would rather fight someone than say a word to Guan Yong.
In fact, when the three of them first appeared, several tables of ruffians had already stopped eating and drinking to stare at them. They were captivated by Lu Hanmeng's beauty; such an exceptionally attractive girl was hard to look away from. Especially at one table where Guan Yong sat at the head; his mouth was so wide open it looked deformed, drool dripping down in steady drops and pooling into a small stream on the table.
Ma Huateng rushed over and spoke several words in front of Guan Yong, but he remained dazed until Ma Huateng patted him on the shoulder a few times. Only then did he come to his senses and wipe the drool from the corner of his mouth with a grin. Ma Huateng whispered something in his ear that made him smile even more lewdly before he waved at Xin Yi and Lu Hanmeng, calling out, "You two, come here!"
Xin Yi pulled the extremely reluctant Lu Hanmeng towards the table. However, when they were still two meters away from Guan Yong, Lu Hanmeng refused to take another step forward despite Xin Yi's tugging.
Up close, Guan Yong's eyes sparkled with excitement as if he wanted to devour Lu Hanmeng with his gaze. After a long moment, he cleared his throat and said, "I already know about your situation. Joining the Black Dragon Society is possible for you; however, people with unclear backgrounds like you usually need to go through an examination. The gang's scrutiny is very strict; I'm worried you might not pass."
"What does Brother Yong mean?" Xin Yi asked.
"Hehehe..." Guan Yong pointed at Lu Hanmeng and said with a grin: "Let your girl spend one night with me..."
