Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Resolving Hidden Dangers!
Seeing this group of people, Qin Jiang's lips curled with a hint of disdain, a bunch of worthless shrimp soldiers and crab generals, simply too weak to withstand a single blow!
Relying on numbers to cause trouble here?
Seeking death!
Xu Muge, seeing so many opponents, felt some fear in her heart, but Qin Jiang took her hand, giving her an invisible sense of security!
A burly man with a broad back and thick waist stepped forward, his face brazenly declaring, "Allow me to introduce myself; I am one of the three giants of Dragon Gate, the Golden Python Dragon!"
He sneered, "Our master has said, this piece of turf lies within our domain, and we'd like to collect a little management fee—isn't that reasonable?"
Xu Muge coldly said, "Management fee? Impossible! This is land the Xu Family obtained through our own efforts, legally and properly. Why should we pay you a management fee?"
"If you continue to cause trouble, we will have to call the Patrol Officers to deal with this!"
Hearing this, the Golden Python Dragon sneered, "Miss Xu, don't be impulsive. After all, our many brothers here, the Patrol House wouldn't be able to contain them all, right?"
"Furthermore, Miss Xu, by acting this way, aren't you afraid of any accidents happening?"
He stared icily at Xu Muge.
Xu Muge coldly said, "We live in a lawful society; what you are doing is hardly appropriate, is it?"
"Dragon Gate may be the top underworld power in Jiangcheng, but shouldn't there be some reason in your actions?"
"Hahaha!" Upon hearing these words, the Golden Python Dragon's lips curled with a sneer, "Miss Xu, since you know that Dragon Gate is the leading underworld force in Jiangcheng, why are you still insisting on fighting us to the death?"
"Isn't it better to spend money to avert disaster?"
"We're not asking for much!"
"Just that the Xu Family is willing to give out one billion in cash, or share half of the profits from the development of this land with us! We guarantee that with Dragon Gate's protection, no one would dare come to your doorstep looking for trouble!"
Xu Muge outright laughed in anger—weren't they the ones showing up and causing trouble?
However, Dragon Gate's power was enormous, and they were extremely ruthless in their actions.
How could the Xu Family possibly be a match for them?
Being targeted by them was truly unlucky.
But to hand over money for nothing and be taken for fools—they would never be so idiotic as to do such a thing.
"We will never agree to your conditions! Stop dreaming!"
The Golden Python Dragon sneered, "Miss Xu, are you serious in rejecting us so decisively?"
"We aren't here to joke with you."
"After all, Miss Xu is exceedingly beautiful. Going out... could be very dangerous, you know!"
Having said that, he revealed a fierce grin and stepped forward, his face lecherously intent on lifting Xu Muge's chin.
However, a large hand immediately clenched around his wrist!
"Who gave you the courage to touch her!" Qin Jiang said coldly.
The Golden Python Dragon's eyes darkened upon hearing this, "You're courting death, kid!"
After speaking, he threw a punch at Qin Jiang!
Qin Jiang raised his hand, capturing the other fist firmly in his grip.
The Golden Python Dragon suddenly felt as if his strength had plunged into the sea, completely unable to exert even a fraction of it!
"You—"
He struggled fiercely to free his hands, only to find he was completely unable to do so!
"Scram!" Qin Jiang twisted his arms until they crackled, breaking both of them, then slammed his foot onto his head, pushing it into the ground!
The Golden Python Dragon felt as if his head was about to burst from the intense pain.
"Attack! Kill him! Kill him for me!" he roared furiously.
The members of Dragon Gate, hearing this command, immediately drew their weapons and charged forth, their immense momentum turning Xu Muge's complexion deathly pale as she hid behind Qin Jiang.
Qin Jiang swept through them like a tiger through a flock of sheep, striking precisely at their heads, chests, arms, legs, and other vital parts before they could even react!
The ones closest to him thudded to the ground one after another, wailing in agony.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of people lay on the ground, howling in pain!
"Still want to come forward and court death?" Qin Jiang's formidable force intimidated the Dragon Gate members, deterring them from advancing!
"Gurgle!"
"Gurgle!"
They swallowed their saliva in secret, and although they had the advantage in numbers, they were too scared by Qin Jiang to move forward.
"All of you, get lost!"
Qin Jiang shouted coldly, "Dare to come make trouble again, and next time, everyone will stay here for good!"
Even though the Golden Python Dragon was reluctant, he knew he was no match for Qin Jiang, and could only scramble up, taking his men and beating a hasty retreat!
"You're a dead man!"
Before leaving, the Golden Python Dragon dropped a chilling line, "It's not me who wants this place, it's our Master. Just you wait, your end is coming."
"Do you really think you, alone, can contend with the entire Dragon Gate?"
Qin Jiang's eyes narrowed, "Do you want to stay here forever?"
The Golden Python Dragon, frightened by the murderous look in Qin Jiang's eyes, quickly left with his men, tumbling and crawling away.
Muge's eyes were also filled with worry, "Qin Jiang, the people from Dragon Gate are not easy to provoke. We could have talked things over, but now I'm afraid it's a fight to the death."
"These guys are dirty players, they'll stop at nothing, and now that you've offended them, I'm afraid they will..."
Qin Jiang responded with a light smile, "There's nothing to be afraid of, these guys are in it just for the money. The more we yield, the more they'll push us around!"
"You go and calm the workers down first, don't worry about anything else for now."
Muge nodded and went off to handle things.
Meanwhile, Qin Jiang found a quiet place, and then he dialed Shen Longting's number, "Shen, where's the Dragon Gate's lair? Send me the location."
Shen Longting was taken aback, "Master... Are you planning to?"
"Take down their stronghold," Qin Jiang said indifferently.
...
After a while, having finished her tasks, Muge sat down beside him and sighed, "It's been a long time since I've felt this tired. It's fulfilling, and it gives a sense of achievement, much better than just staying at home."
Qin Jiang tapped her forehead, "You, oh you!"
Muge proclaimed, "Zhao Yuefei, Yue Xingyun, these women are heroines among women! I, Muge, will one day stand at that height as well!"
Determination shone in her eyes.
Qin Jiang encouraged her with a smile, "I will always be there to support you!"
With her own capabilities, he believed that as long as the right opportunities came along, Muge would certainly be able to stand at the height she aspired to and look down upon the masses.
Muge sighed, "Let's not think too far ahead for now. The biggest mountain in front of me right now is the Zhao Corporation. Trying to partner with Zhao Yuefei is as difficult as reaching the sky! This iron lady of the business world in Jiangcheng is really not easy to deal with..."
Yesterday, she got Zhao Yuefei's contact information, and before she could even speak, she was hung up on by the secretary!
"No worries, Zhao Yuefei, I have a way to deal with her," Qin Jiang said with a smile, "Also, I have some matters that require a visit to her as well."
"You have business with her?" Muge was astonished, "Do you know her?"
"I don't, but I know her parents."
The Zhao Couple were very kind to him in prison, sharing their food with him, tending to his wounds...
"The Zhao Couple? You actually know them? They're legends in the business world of Jiangcheng! It's just a pity..." Muge sighed, "Fortune was not in their favor, and they died young."
Qin Jiang remained silent; the death of the Zhao Couple was highly suspicious, with a hidden hand behind it. But after so many years, could any clue still be found?
Soon.
Shen Longting sent over the address of the Dragon Gate.
"I'm going to handle some business."
After bidding Muge farewell, Qin Jiang left the construction site, took a cab, and arrived at Dragon Gate's headquarters.
He stepped out of the cab and walked toward the entrance.
"Kid! This is the Dragon Gate headquarters, not a place you can barge into. Scram!" two guards commanded menacingly at the entrance.
Qin Jiang sent them flying with a kick!
"Attack! Attack!" The two guards lay on the ground, roaring in agony, enduring the severe pain.
"Where's the big boss of Dragon Gate? Come out and face your death!" Qin Jiang bellowed, kicking down the firmly closed gate and walking into the Dragon Gate's headquarters with his hands behind his back!
