Chapter 226 Annoying Cousin Sister
Taking things as they come, Xiao Yun was not as troubled as An Yiran. He woke up naturally after a good sleep, got up, washed up, and found that the three women had already prepared breakfast, waiting for him to join them.
Master Xiao slipped on his flip-flops, stuffed his hands into the pockets of his shorts, and casually walked to the dining table. As soon as he sat down, he noticed An Yiran across from him looking tired. He paused and asked, "Sister Yiran, what's wrong? Did you not sleep all night?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just thought too much about the past and couldn't sleep!" An Yiran replied with a smile.
Xiao Yun nodded and said, "After breakfast, you should rest a bit. I plan to visit Lu Jiutang this morning!"
"The leader of the Wolf Gang?" An Yiran asked.
"Yes, after all, he saved my life. I should go thank him! Also," Xiao Yun continued, "I want to see what kind of strength this boss in the underground world really has. Who knows, I might need to borrow his power one day!"
As soon as he said this, An Yiran understood; he was subtly hinting that if Hong Qichang really came to cause trouble, it might be wise to fight fire with fire. However, given the current momentum of Hong Qichang's newly risen power, the Wolf Gang probably wouldn't stand a chance against the Flying Tiger Gang.
Of course, Xiao Yun's considerations were still thorough; one should always be prepared for multiple scenarios.
"Brother," Nie Xiaoqian said, "Can Sister Yiran and I accompany you?" Lu Jiutang was already famous in the underground world, and Nie Xiaoqian was curious to see if this leader had three heads and six arms or something.
"No need; I'll go alone," Xiao Yun thought about bringing two beautiful women to meet Lu Jiutang and felt it might be too conspicuous.
He turned to Feng Xia and asked, "How is your Sister Bing doing lately?"
Feng Xia smiled at him and said, "She's doing well! Um, brother, have you not seen our Sister Bing for a few days? Are you feeling a bit anxious about her?"
He was just casually asking, "Do you miss her?" Can't you speak a little less directly? You should learn to be more subtle!
To his surprise, Master Xiao's face turned slightly red.
...
Lu Jiutang had been feeling very troubled lately.
What was bothering him? The heavens, the earth, and women...
The sky was still blue, and the ground was still green, but with the unexpected rise of the Flying Tiger Gang, he sensed that the world was about to change!
He didn't dare to think too much about what it would become.
In the past, the Flying Tiger Gang, a small force in the underground world that was hardly known, wouldn't have caught his attention at all. He would even dismiss it when others mentioned it. But this world had changed drastically; with the destruction of the Duan Group, this inconspicuous little gang seemed to have suddenly grown overnight, becoming powerful and aggressive.
What shocked him even more was that the Flying Tiger Gang had an inseparable relationship with the Azure Cloud Group. It was rumored that the mastermind behind the Flying Tiger Gang, Hong Qichang, was also the leader of the Azure Cloud Group. This person was cunning and ruthless, with a mysterious and powerful background that ordinary people could not shake.
For Lu Jiutang, this was a very dangerous signal. He understood well the rule of survival of the fittest in the underground world; the rise of the Flying Tiger Gang meant the impending disappearance of the Wolf Gang.
Although the Flying Tiger Gang had not yet taken action against the Wolf Gang, that day would come sooner or later.
Lu Jiutang had no background and naturally lacked the capital to confront the Flying Tiger Gang head-on. The day before yesterday, he specifically gathered the Four Great Hall Masters in the city for a meeting and ordered them to be cautious and patient in all matters. Under any circumstances, they should avoid conflict with the Flying Tiger Gang; if possible, they should yield, and if not, they should retreat.
No matter what, for now, the Wolf Gang still had its strength. The Flying Tiger Gang would not dare to openly threaten them in broad daylight. A cornered dog will jump over a wall; if pushed to desperation, they could fight back fiercely. Surely, the other side understood this as well.
In fact, this wasn't even Lu Jiutang's biggest concern. After all, considering the current situation, the entire underground world of Silver Galaxy was still relatively stable.
His biggest headache right now is Cold as Ice, his Cousin Sister.
Cold Brow has only this one younger sister. Their parents died early, and she has always been particularly fond of this sister. Even Lu Jiutang has been influenced by her, accommodating this Cousin Sister in everything.
Little did he know that this Cousin Sister is quite oblivious. She preferred to play with swords rather than study, and shortly after entering a martial arts school, she followed some nun deep into the mountains to practice martial arts.
A few years later, when Cold as Ice returned from her training, she disliked her brother-in-law's background in the underworld and refused to stay by his side. Lu Jiutang complied with her wishes and invested in a bar for her to manage alone.
In truth, Lu Jiutang had always been uneasy about her managing the bar by herself, which is why he arranged for Iron Egg to be by her side. He also learned that this Cousin Sister seemed to have developed an intense grudge against him, often muttering to herself about wanting to kill him. After receiving reports about her behavior, Lu Jiutang initially dismissed the rebellious little Cousin Sister, until the day of the incident at Dead End, when he finally realized the seriousness of the situation.
Fortunately, his Old Butler Wang, who had seen much in life, recognized that Cold as Ice had been poisoned with Black Death Poison. Lu Jiutang quickly ordered dozens of people to rush to the scene and rescue Cold as Ice.
Originally, as the head of the Matchmaker's Guild, she would have certainly been taken in by the police and might even have faced charges. Luckily, after the onset of that type of poison, none of the participants could recognize each other, and no one provided her name to the police.
However, after Lu Jiutang sent someone to inquire about the incident's cause, he was genuinely shocked. He never expected that the mastermind behind it was actually Gu Tianfeng, a bodyguard from the Duan Family.
He also never imagined that Cold as Ice had long wanted to kill him because he had previously refused to participate in a drug deal orchestrated by Gu Tianfeng. It was only because the latter was in a hurry to kill Xiao Yun that he let him off the hook.
After much contemplation, he concluded that the only way to deal with this troublesome Cousin Sister was to temporarily "imprison" her. As for the bar, Lu Jiutang found someone else to help manage it for now.
But this wasn't a solution either. Since experiencing this "incident," Cold as Ice showed no signs of remorse; at home, she either smashed things or yelled at everyone around her. The people in the house avoided her whenever they could.
This morning, Lu Jiutang decided to go into Cold as Ice's room to persuade her once more. As soon as he entered, he nearly received a stinging slap across the face. Then a domineering voice charged at him: "You shameless person! What are you doing in my sister's room? You’ve taken my sister and now you want to take me too!"
Uh, want to take you too?
Lu Jiutang almost spat out a mouthful of blood right then and there...
"Liu Jiutang, I think it's better to let her go. If we keep her locked up like this, she'll go crazy sooner or later!" Cold Brow said to him during breakfast.
Lu Jiutang sighed, "I've thought about that too, but you know how Like Ice is—she's too willful. If we let her have her way, I'm afraid something bad will happen eventually!"
Cold Brow replied, "Well, it seems the best solution is to find a good man for her to marry; that might help temper her temperament!"
"Yes," Lu Jiutang agreed with his wife's suggestion. "That might actually work, but what kind of man can we find for her?"
Cold Brow said, "You have many subordinates; can't you pick one from among them?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jiutang immediately shook his head vigorously. "No way! None of the men under me are worthy of Like Ice, neither in looks nor in skills. Even if I found someone for her, I fear she would tear him apart in no time!"
Come on, with Like Ice's personality, what kind of man could handle her? Even I, as her brother-in-law, would avoid crossing paths with her!
Cold Brow frowned slightly and asked, "Then who would be suitable?"
Lu Jiutang's eyes suddenly lit up. "I just thought of someone—Xiao Yun. Besides him, no one else can manage Like Ice!"
"No way! Anyone but that Xiao!" To his surprise, Cold Brow immediately opposed the idea upon hearing Xiao Yun's name.
