In Jin Gu Yuan's large private room, several of the city's most prominent gang leaders from each territory were present. All their brows locked tightly together with worry as they sat in a heavily imposing atmosphere.

"Then, let me simply relay the situation." The person who spoke was Liu Zi Cheng.[1] Normally, he has an exceptionally calm and courteous nature, but in reality, he was merciless. As such, he has already been chosen to be Li Shi Qing's successor behind closed door.

"In short, Qing Ye is doing business with Lu Wu and wants to hand over a piece of territory over to him. As you know, the majority of this territory is in my hands, and the person that Lu Wu had sent to take over for me is Da Gui. There was a prior agreement for him to arrive in the morning, so we prepared a fucking welcome dinner for him but by noon, that fucker still wasn't here. Even worse, Wu Qing Hua sent news over, saying that the party of five was found dead in a small alley within my territory. When we contacted Lu Wu again, he sounded rather strange and said one of the men who was able to escape claimed that it was our men that did it."

He paused and pinched the space between his brows, "Now, they want to have a formal discussion with us. Since something like this happened, going there would mean we're practically putting ourselves in the devil's mouth to be chewed out. If we don't settle this matter well, there's going to be a fall out with Lu Wu. If that happens, we might as well pack our belonging and start from the scratch again."

The moment those words came to an end, everyone became silent once again.

Liu Zi Cheng sighed, "I believe that our brothers would not do something like this. But, everyone has to say something, so that I'll know for sure"

"I didn't do it," Feng Qiang quickly confirmed, "Everyone knows that I have a booming venue there. We're so busy with our own things, we could barely handle it."

"It wasn't me either," said Zhou Yun who sat beside him.

"It wasn't me either," exclaimed Fan Peng, "Da Gui originally messed around in this city. Don't tell me that after all these year, he had only offended us? It's possible that the ones who took him out is one of his other enemies."

"Not me," Xiao Li simply stated.

"Not me."

"It wasn't me either."

"Not me."

When it was Yan Ming's turn, he added, "From the way I see it, it's not necessarily Da Gui's enemies. Look at it like this, only a few of us knew that Da Gui was coming here. I think that there's an internal power struggle on their side and they themselves killed Da Gui. We can't say for sure, but maybe they shifted the blame on us."

After everyone stated their position, Li Zi Cheng glanced inquisitively at Li Shi Qing.

At that moment, Li Shi Qing was unconsciously tapping his fingers on the table and said, "Three days. I give you all three days. Every single one of you must thoroughly look into this matter. If it's a dirty trick done by someone within your group, it is best if you don't let me find out about it." His gaze swept around the room, causing the air to immediately freeze over with a layer of ice.

After a moment of silent, Xiao Li's cellphone buzzed, obviously attracting everyone's attention.

He took the phone out of his pocket, and just as he was about to hang up and turn it off, the person beside him reached over and took it from his hand.
