Chapter 391 Flood washed away the Dragon King Temple
The thugs at the gambling den quickly surrounded Lu Yangyang.
However, due to Lu Yangyang's arrogance and ruthlessness, for a time, no one dared to step forward.
They've run their gambling den for years and seen all sorts of people cause trouble, but this is the first time they've ever seen anyone cause trouble like this, especially one who comes all by himself!
This girl is definitely not simple!
The once arrogant and domineering thugs were now all holding their breath, staring intently at Lu Yangyang, not daring to relax for a moment.
Master Ren stood up and looked down at Lu Yangyang from the second floor, his face grim.
As he stared at Lu Yangyang, his mind raced, trying to recall if he had ever seen anyone who dared to challenge him, Second Master Ren, on the streets of Jiangnan Prefecture. He could count them on one hand.
What is the background of this girl?
Lu Yangyang stood downstairs, arrogantly meeting Ren Erye's gaze.
It seems she made the right bet.
In gambling dens, it's all about who's more ruthless.
If she tried to reason with them politely, she would probably be subjected to all sorts of underhanded tactics before she even met this so-called deputy leader.
She had dealt with all sorts of shady characters before, and these people, especially those from gambling dens, had no bottom line. No matter how alert she was, she couldn't guarantee she wouldn't fall into their trap. Besides, she wasn't some invincible iron woman; if they really used some underhanded drug on her, she probably wouldn't be able to wait for Wen Qingqing to travel all the way to her for an antidote.
Therefore, her only way to break the deadlock is to make these people fear her first!
If she is too wary to kill her directly, she can buy herself enough time to wait for Sheng Junyi to find her helpers.
Master Ren stared at Lu Yangyang for a while. Seeing that the girl was truly fearless, his heart sank a little more. He asked, "May I ask, young lady, which path do you belong to? I am a businessman. If I have disturbed you in any way, please feel free to speak up, and I will certainly take care of it for you."
Lu Yangyang snorted coldly.
"Disturbing? Hmph, I don't think it's disturbing at all, but rather deliberately trying to make an enemy of me! I was just entering the city with my subordinates when your people stopped me, and this little scoundrel even dared to trick me into going to a brothel to be sold! I've lived for so many years, and I've never suffered such a loss, not only in Jiangnan Prefecture, but in the entire Great Zhao! You want to know which side I'm on, huh? Fine, I'll tell you today, listen up! I am the eldest daughter of Tiancheng Trading Company, and I'd like to ask you, how did our Tiancheng Trading Company offend your Salt Gang that you, Second Master Ren, dared to order people to attack me!" Lu Yangyang shouted angrily.
She secretly thought to herself, "Anyway, no one knows the true nature of Tiancheng Trading Company. If I impersonate them, it shouldn't be too easy for them to expose me, right?" She also had to thank Wen Qingqing for the inspiration. After all, although she was an imposter, Wen Qingqing, the genuine young lady of Jingfeng Money House, was the real deal. She had inquired with Wen Qingqing, and it was said that the mysterious owner of Tiancheng Trading Company had never appeared, and no one knew his background. However, that didn't stop Tiancheng Trading Company from operating throughout Dazhao. Some even suspected that the person behind Tiancheng Trading Company might be a member of the royal family! Whether he was a member of the royal family or not didn't matter. Now, with the jade token Sheng Junyi had given her, her impersonation wouldn't seem too fake!
As soon as Lu Yangyang shouted these words, Master Ren's face changed color.
Although the Salt Gang is known as the number one gang in the world, there are still some troubles that cannot be easily provoked.
For example, government agencies, or behemoths like Tiancheng Trading Company and Jingfeng Money Shop.
Because no one knows who is behind these forces, small troubles can be resolved, but if big troubles get too deeply involved, it's not a good thing!
Of course, someone like Master Ren, who has been in the underworld for many years, couldn't be so easily intimidated by Lu Yangyang's few words.
However, this matter requires caution.
Master Ren quickly realized what was happening and burst into laughter: "Isn't this a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple? My dear niece, let's talk this out. How about this, I'll have someone investigate today's matter thoroughly and give you an explanation. My dear niece has had a long and tiring journey, so I'll have someone arrange a welcome feast for you. Please don't refuse, or people will say that I, your uncle, haven't been hospitable enough. Men, prepare a room for our distinguished guest; don't neglect him."
Lu Yangyang had been waiting for these words.
What a coincidence! She had originally gone to Tiancheng Trading Company to ask Sheng Junyi for help, so she made a special trip there before coming here. Now she was just waiting for this Second Master Ren to send someone to investigate. The more uncertain he was, the less he would dare to act rashly. She could also take the opportunity to visit the Salt Gang.
However, Lu Yangyang still appeared very dissatisfied: "You think I'll just wait when you tell me to? Let me tell you, you'd better hand over those human traffickers under your command right now, I want to skin them alive with my own hands!"
After she finished shouting, the gambling house manager immediately stepped forward with a smile and coaxed her, "Miss, calm down, calm down. The servants are ignorant, so don't worry. We'll send them all over to you later so you can vent your anger. Come with me for some tea and a rest. Try some of our Jiangnan snacks. They're made by retired chefs from the Imperial Kitchen, and their skills are absolutely superb."
Lu Yangyang scoffed, "Isn't it just the imperial kitchen? Everyone's eaten there before, we're all tired of it."
She acted like a spoiled young lady courting death, which startled the steward, who had to beg her repeatedly before finally managing to get her to go to the backyard.
No sooner had she left than the gambling den quickly cleared the tables and went back to serving its customers.
Upstairs, when the steward returned to report to Master Ren after settling Lu Yangyang in, his brow was soaked with cold sweat.
Master Ren glanced at his expression and said in a deep voice, "Immediately send someone to investigate. The person behind Tiancheng Trading Company has been mysterious for so many years, how could a young lady suddenly appear! Find out for me what this brat's background is. She's so ruthless, she's no small fry! Also, keep this from the gang leader. If anyone dares to tell him about this, I'll skin them alive!"
The steward was drenched in cold sweat, and his skin tightened all over.
To be honest, that girl's arrogant and domineering manner was no less than that of their ruthless deputy gang leader. How could she be a simple person? Who the hell did this? Don't they have any eyes? They dare to provoke anyone. They're really courting death. Isn't there enough chaos already?
The steward bowed and scraped as he left Master Ren's room, grabbed one of his subordinates, and slapped him across the face: "What are you standing there for? Go investigate!"
