149: Go to sleep!
"Guo Yugang, everything you just said, she already told me. Do you have any other valuable information? Otherwise, she might live, but you might not!"
Jiang Hanwen's lips curved into a polite and proper smile.
"You stinking bitch!" Guo Yugang gnashed his teeth, glaring at Fang Jie beside him, then looked earnestly at Jiang Hanwen.
"Shopkeeper Jiang, if you let me go today...
Whatever you want my Black Tiger Gang to do in the future, we will do it. We will never disobey!"
"What if it's to deal with the Black Wind Martial Hall?" Jiang Hanwen teased.
Guo Yugang's breathing tightened by three points. In his eyes, there was not just anger, but also a deep killing intent, even telling the other party about this.
"Senior, besides the storage ring on me, I have another storage ring containing the saber technique I just used.
This saber technique was a burial object I found in a tomb. Although it's just an Incomplete Manual, its power is very strong. Once mastered, one would be invincible among those of the same realm.
If you are willing to spare my life, I will take you to get it right now."
Fang Jie immediately interjected:
"Senior, don't listen to him. I know the location of the storage ring!
He has arranged a special poison room to deal with Dan Master Feng Xibing. If you go in there, it's full of poison, and you'll fall victim to it."
"Ah! You stinking bitch, I'll kill you!" Guo Yugang's face was distorted with rage, his teeth clenched, as if he would pounce and bite Fang Jie's neck the next second.
"Senior, this stinking bitch has slept with more than just me. Don't be fooled by her.
She'll definitely tell you that she was forced by me, that she's innocent.
But you probably don't know that eighty percent of the innocent women in the Black Wind Martial Hall's brothel were captured by her.
Not only did she capture them, she would also chain those girls like dogs in cages and train them."
"Senior, he's lying to you!"
"Lying? Don't think I don't know you slept with Dan Master Feng Xibing. That old man is almost in his grave, can he even still move?"
Jiang Hanwen quietly watched the two bicker, not caring that their voices grew louder and louder.
The cold weather was Jiang Hanwen's opportune moment!
Outside the house, a completely transparent water membrane enveloped the entire house, preventing any sound from reaching the outside world.
After a long while, the two also noticed something was wrong. No matter how loud they were, there was still no sound from outside.
"Anything else?" Jiang Hanwen stood up, looking at the two with anticipation, like friends chatting and about to say goodbye.
They really wouldn't shed tears until they saw the coffin. Even at this point, they were still thinking of coordinating; what a pair of desperate lovers.
This time, Guo Yugang and Fang Jie both fell silent, exchanging glances, their eyes filled only with intense hatred. Everything they had just said was true.
After a long while, Fang Jie was the first to speak, looking up at Jiang Hanwen:
"Senior, spare me, and in the future, whatever kind of woman you want, I can find for you.
I will be your most obedient cat. Whoever you want me to scratch, I will scratch!"
Jiang Hanwen looked at Guo Yugang, his eyes devoid of any emotion, only extreme coldness.
Guo Yugang took a deep breath, making his final concession:
"The victor is king, the loser is bandit. I accept.
I'll give you both the saber technique and the Spell. From now on, I'll give you ten thousand taels of silver every month, and whatever you want the Black Tiger Gang to do for you, just command us."
Jiang Hanwen understood. After all, they were just small fries, not big fish, with not much profit.
This was probably the limit for the two of them.
"One last question." Jiang Hanwen looked at Fang Jie:
"You lied to me, saying you didn't kill Chen Hong, that there was no grudge. Was it because you yourself felt ashamed?"
Sensing the coldness in his eyes, Fang Jie's heart trembled. Her docile demeanor, which she had maintained throughout, vanished, replaced by a fierce glint in her eyes. She snarled:
"So what if I killed her?!
You know her, right? I didn't kill the wrong person. You didn't see her when her child fell out—"
"Bang!"
Jiang Hanwen clapped his hands together, and Fang Jie was directly crushed by his ice.
Guo Yugang looked up, relieved.
"I—"
"Bang!"
Following suit, both turned into bloodied masses.
Unlike Guo Yugang, who had been a bad seed since childhood, Fang Jie was different.
Fang Jie, in the beginning, was also a good girl.
She was deceived and lost her innocence, but after killing that man, everything changed.
She, in turn, copied and pasted the torment inflicted upon herself onto others.
Whenever she saw a beautiful girl on the street, she would find a way to train the other party into her "dog" to entertain clients.
Until she set her sights on a beautiful girl living alone.
The girl's father was actually a member of the Huang Family, but she was an illegitimate daughter, so it was inconvenient to expose her identity.
A few months later, when her father returned home, he saw his daughter had become insane and completely lost it.
Fang Jie narrowly escaped, but her entire family perished in a sea of fire.
The pitiable must have something hateful about them. Fang Jie was unfortunate, but weren't those girls also unfortunate?
Weren't her parents?
Jiang Hanwen couldn't help but sigh. Man proposes, God disposes. Perhaps retribution didn't come this time, but there would always be an opportunity, wouldn't there?
He thoroughly searched the house. Besides a copy of "Ten Records of Source Poison" and some money, Fang Jie had nothing.
The good things in Guo Yugang's ring were somewhat unexpected. Besides the stunning incomplete saber technique, there was also a Spell, "Golden Edge Protective Aura," and the Pill Formula for the Poisonous Evil Medicinal Pill, all of which were good items.
The harvest was considerable, not a waste of the year he had spent on it in the end.
Jiang Hanwen looked at the tunnel. The big trouble was solved; now it was time to reap the harvest... "Fire!"
"Quick, everyone, fire!"
That night, a huge fireball ignited at the Black Tiger Gang's main base.
The strange thing was that all the usually fierce ruffians had disappeared at this moment, quietly waiting for the fire to burn.
Early the next morning, Jiang Hanwen yawned, walking back to the bookstore with a tired body.
Last night had exhausted him. The Black Tiger Gang's simpletons hid everything underground or on the roofs of houses; otherwise, he wouldn't have found so much.
After removing twenty-three unfamiliar Cultivation Techniques and weapons, the most direct gain was ninety thousand taels of silver!
This amount of money brought him one step closer to auctioning the Medicinal Pill Legacy!
Jiang Hanwen told himself that this time, he must have a peaceful, long sleep, the kind where he woke up naturally.
"Shopkeeper!"
Jiang Hanwen, who had just pushed open the courtyard gate, turned to look. Xia Zhijie stood by the door, holding a brown letter.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Hanwen asked.
At this time, it better not be another major event; he wanted to sleep.
"Miss Zheng has left and left you a letter." Xia Zhijie handed it over.
"Alright, I know. You go about your business."
Jiang Hanwen took the envelope, which was sealed with red wax and had five delicate characters written on it: "For Shopkeeper Jiang's Personal Opening."
Had that girl really left?
The next second, the envelope was put into his storage ring.
Let alone the letter, he hadn't even looked at the saber technique and Spell in the storage ring, and there were so many Cultivation Techniques yet to be counted.
The world is vast, but I am the greatest.
Let the floods rage, I need to sleep now!
