#185 - The Godfather (Xianxia version)

A few days later, a female constable named You Jia joined the Willow Branch of the Suspension Mirror Division's Shu Prefecture branch.

She was beautiful, lively, and had decent cultivation, but most importantly, she didn't have a sweetheart yet.

Like a sheep entering a wolf pack, such a woman was naturally the center of attention in the Suspension Mirror Division.

In fact, if you put aside her personality, You Jia was quite similar to Xu Qingwan.

It's just that everyone knew about the latter's relationship with Wei Changtian, and no one dared to risk their lives to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.

But the former was different, so in just a few days, she attracted a group of suitors.

A group of people followed this Miss You around all day, showering her with concern. Not to mention the bad influence, the main thing was that it almost led to a direct conflict between colleagues.

Chen Bo was quite helpless about this, and finally had to assign You Jia and Xu Qingwan to the same task force, which barely managed to calm everyone down a bit.

After all, if Chief Xu was unhappy, then Young Master Wei would definitely be unhappy.

And once Young Master Wei was unhappy, everyone would be in trouble.

Xu Qingwan certainly knew that Chen Bo was using her to block some troubles for You Jia, but she didn't have any objections to this.

There were not many female constables in the Suspension Mirror Division in the first place, and it was good to have someone to talk to now.

"Sister Xu, I heard from others that you and Wei Gongzi, who killed the prime minister, have that kind of relationship. Is this true?"

"They also said that you were transferred from the capital to Shu Prefecture for Wei Gongzi!"

The speeding carriage was traveling on the official road. The two women sat in the carriage, preparing to go to a village outside the city to investigate a demon infestation.

The sound of horses' hooves, "da da da", echoed in her ears. Hearing You Jia's question, Xu Qingwan did not hide it, but generously admitted:

"Yes, I came to Shu Prefecture to find him."

"But . . . but many people say that Wei Gongzi is inherently cruel and has killed countless people."

You Jia was stunned: "Does that not matter either?"

"Miss You."

Xu Qingwan raised her eyes to look at You Jia and replied softly: "I never thought he was that kind of person."

"If I take a step back, even if he really is, I am willing."

"Wow, that's great . . ."

You Jia blinked her eyes, a look of envy on her face. It was hard to tell whether she envied Wei Changtian or Xu Qingwan, or both.

Xu Qingwan couldn't help but smile when she saw her like this.

"Miss You, you will definitely find a good husband in the future."

"Hehe, then I'll take Sister Xu's good words!"

You Jia gathered her skirt and moved to Xu Qingwan's side, begging coquettishly: "Sister Xu, can you tell me more about you and Wei Gongzi's story?"

"I'm so curious!"

"This . . ."

Xu Qingwan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but the simple-minded her finally nodded.

"Alright then . . ."

North of Shu Prefecture City, Rooster Crest Mountain, Thunderbolt Gate.

Just as Xu Qingwan was happily telling You Jia her 'love story', the other protagonist in the story, Wei Changtian, was riding a tall horse, happily admiring a great battle.

After more than half a month of planning, Chu Xianping decided to lead the Gongji Society to attack the Thunderbolt Gate today, and take the opportunity to monopolize the 'toll collection rights' on the official road from north of Shu Prefecture City to Anzhou.

Since he took over the Gongji Society, this was actually not the first time this had happened.

Azure Thunder Gang, Swimming Fish Tower, Red Lotus Courtyard, Zhenwu Pavilion, and now the Thunderbolt Gate.

The folk customs of Shu Prefecture were sturdy, and various Jianghu forces of all sizes were established.

As a new force, the Gongji Society had continuously destroyed five or six small gangs and organizations in less than three months, and could be considered to be on the rise in the current Shu Prefecture underworld.

The reason why they were able to achieve such 'achievements' was not only because they had the Suspension Mirror Division as their backing, but more importantly, because they had a leader like Chu Xianping.

Take the current surprise attack on the Thunderbolt Gate.

Chu Xianping did not make this decision on a whim, but after comprehensively considering the strength of both sides, the pros and cons, and other factors, he came up with the optimal solution that was most conducive to the development of the Gongji Society.

Being able to walk on the right path every step of the way, it was not surprising that the Gongji Society was able to develop so quickly.

Everyone has their own strengths, and Wei Changtian admitted that he did not have this kind of leadership ability.

It was okay for him to fool one or two people, or a small group of people, but if he were to manage a large 'black force gang' of hundreds or thousands of people, he felt that he was not up to the task.

Therefore, after handing over the Gongji Society to Chu Xianping, he only gave instructions for tasks and never cared about other matters.

The reason why he was interested in 'observing' this gang fight today was because he was really bored at home and just came out to watch a live-action war movie.

"Kill!!"

"Bang bang bang!!"

"Clang!"

"Clang clang clang!!"

"Those who abandon their swords will not be killed!"

Not far away, hundreds of Gongji Society members had already rushed into the Thunderbolt Gate's hall and were fighting with the enemies who had rushed out to meet them in a hurry.

Wei Changtian stood at the rear, watching the chaotic scene while chatting with Chu Xianping next to him.

"Brother Chu, I see that the Thunderbolt Gate seems to be quite strong."

"That's right."

Chu Xianping nodded: "There are more than a hundred experts above the seventh rank, and the sect leader Zhang Biao has just broken through to the fourth rank."

"Is that so?"

Wei Changtian asked with interest: "Then do you have a sure chance of winning today?"

"Yes."

Chu Xianping explained concisely: "Zhang Biao took more than a dozen of the Thunderbolt Gate's strongest experts to Anzhou a few days ago, and they will not be back for a few more days."

"Plus, we are attacking by surprise, so there is no reason not to win this time."

"I see . . ."

Wei Changtian looked at the situation in front of him, turned his head and asked: "Then what about after Zhang Biao comes back? When he finds out that the Thunderbolt Gate has been destroyed, won't he desperately retaliate against the Gongji Society? A fourth-rank expert, that's a big trouble."

"Gongzi."

Chu Xianping smiled: "Zhang Biao won't be coming back."

Won't be coming back . . .

Wei Changtian was slightly stunned, understanding that Chu Xianping must have already arranged a backup plan.

As for what this backup plan was . . . Wei Changtian knew that if he asked, Chu Xianping would definitely tell him.

However, he did not ask, but silently sighed in his heart—

Sure enough, hurt makes people grow!

How upright and kind was Chu Xianping originally? Who would have thought that after the Yin Xiao'e incident, he would become a decisive black boss.

At this rate, the Gongji Society will probably be able to dominate the Shu Prefecture underworld in a short time.

Huh?

Wouldn't that make me the behind-the-scenes boss of such a behemoth?

Hiss . . . a Xianxia version of 《The Godfather》?
