Chapter 622 The Wandering Swordsman 13
The crowd's thoughts shifted, and although their faces still held a somewhat unnatural respect, their eyes now held a hint of calculation and a malicious sense of luck.
Also!
Shi Zhongyu is about to join Xia Ke Island, but how many more days can he maintain this decisive and efficient demeanor?
Just because he can beat Zhang San and Li Si doesn't mean he can beat everyone on the island.
Once he goes to Xia Ke Island, he probably won't come back.
In the end, won't they be the ones calling the shots in the gang?
If we just endure it for a few days, once that kid leaves, we can eat and drink as usual and live a carefree life.
Thinking about it this way, everyone felt much more at ease, and their restless and dissatisfied emotions gradually calmed down.
They all bowed and scraped before Shi Zhongyu, saying "We will obey the leader's orders," but in their hearts they couldn't wait for Shi Zhongyu to go to Xia Ke Island to die.
But they never expected that Shi Zhongyu's new rules would be like a knife and axe, directly targeting the malignant tumors that had plagued the Chang Le Gang for many years. Every rule cut right into their flesh, and every one of them broke the bottom line that they were unwilling to touch.
One step back leads to another.
Seeing that Shi Zhongyu had already ordered an investigation into the accounts of the past few years and was even preparing to set up an oversight department to specifically supervise the implementation of the new gang rules in each branch.
The incense masters all turned green with fear, but they were wary of Shi Zhongyu's martial arts skills and dared not make any rash moves. They could only grit their teeth in frustration.
Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer. Mi Hengye shouted, "You surnamed Shi, you've been in the Chang Le Gang for quite some time now. Before, you were a womanizer who abused respectable women and lived a life of idleness. Now, you've suddenly transformed into an upright gentleman, a righteous man, and you're criticizing the Chang Le Gang for this and that, and you even want to set rules to discipline us?"
These words instantly resonated with everyone present, who nodded in agreement inwardly.
Zhan Fei, in particular, had a gloomy expression and a cold glint in his eyes, clearly having been touched by these words and his old grudges.
He clearly remembered that when Shi Zhongyu got drunk, he actually made his wife serve him.
These humiliating events still make him grit his teeth when he thinks about them.
Ironically, this lecherous, shameless, and dissolute scoundrel now sits in the main seat with impunity, using the guise of "rectifying gang affairs" to restrain them with moral doctrines.
Where does he get the nerve?
Zhan Fei sneered, a thought flashing through his mind. His gaze inadvertently swept over the teacup beside Shi Zhongyu, and a dark look flashed across his eyes.
At that moment, Shi Zhongyu remained seated in the main seat, his expression calm, as if he had not heard those harsh words.
He slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the crowd: "I have never denied anything I have done in the past. That is why I gave you a chance... to kill me."
Immediately afterwards, he picked up the teacup that had been beside him since earlier, his movements calm and composed, as if he were simply drinking tea normally. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he drank the tea in one gulp and said with a half-smile, "But it's clear that you have failed."
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.
When Zhan Fei saw that he was unharmed, his expression changed instantly. His eyes, which had been hiding anger, quickly flashed with surprise and panic.
Upon seeing this, the others immediately realized that there was something wrong with the cup of tea that Shi Zhongyu had just drunk, and that the culprit was Zhan Fei.
Bei Haishi was the first to react, immediately stepping forward, his folding fan snapping open with a whoosh, and pointing angrily at Zhan Fei:
"Master Zhan, how dare you! You actually dared to lay a hand on our gang leader!"
Bei Haishi didn't care whether Zhan Fei was acting out of old grudges or not. He only knew that this matter was extraordinary. Even if Zhan Fei wanted revenge, he should prioritize things.
If Shi Zhongyu really does get into trouble today, who can lead them through this calamity? Who can take the bronze medal and shield them from the wrath of Xia Ke Island?
Is it Zhan Fei? Or is it Bei Haishi?
neither!
Therefore, Zhan Fei is not only harming Shi Zhongyu, but also pushing him and the entire Chang Le Gang into the abyss!
Thinking of this, Bei Haishi gave a cold laugh, his voice suddenly rising:
"Men, seize Zhan Fei and lock him in the dungeon to await further orders!"
