The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

Chapter 429: Strength is the Qualification


Chen Fang was completely stunned.

It was then that Hua Limo told him.

Since his arrival in Wulan City, every move he made had been under her surveillance.

The incident that happened today near the pedestrian street alley, Hua Limo had been paying attention to the whole situation, including Chen Fang taking those children into the motel.

Of course, she only saw what was happening and didn't know the details.

She even thought those kids had some special relationship with Chen Fang.

So, after Chen Fang returned to the hotel, she went back to the alley and happened to encounter Canned Food coming to catch people.

Out of hatred for Chen Fang,

she told Canned Food the location of the small motel where everyone was hiding.

Upon hearing this,

Chen Fang suddenly sat up from the bed.

At that moment, he truly wanted to strike Hua Limo.

He sighed deeply and forcefully held back.

He then explained everything in detail.

Hua Limo's previously calm face also became tense.

She said with some remorse, "I didn't know they had such ordeals, I thought..."

"Thought what?"

Chen Fang asked.

The words on the tip of Hua Limo's tongue were swallowed back down, and she said, "Come on, I'll go with you."

The two hurriedly left the hotel.

They first rushed to the motel.

As expected, the owner told Chen Fang that the people staying had already been picked up by a group.

The leader was a bald man.

It was already midnight.

Jiang Yu had mentioned that Canned Food's main base was near the pedestrian street, so the two returned there.

The street was now deserted and cold.

In the dark, they didn't know where to start looking for people.

Suddenly,

Hua Limo had a brainwave.

She asked, "Do you have cash on you?"

"Cash? What do you need it for?"

"Do you have it or not?"

"Yes!"

Chen Fang pulled out a stack of money, roughly three thousand, from his wallet.

Hua Limo folded it and placed it in Chen Fang's back pocket, letting a corner of the money peek out. She whispered, "Since we can't find them, let's make them come to us."

Then, she took Chen Fang's arm and said, "Now we're just a couple out for a stroll late at night, make it believable."

Having said that,

she leaned her head against Chen Fang's chest.

Chen Fang was momentarily stunned,

realizing what she was doing,

he casually wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

The two pretended to be deeply affectionate, slowly wandering toward the other end of the street.

"Don't think that I'm really conquered by you. I'm just giving you ten more days; don't get any ideas."

Just a few steps later, Hua Limo explained.

Chen Fang smiled inwardly.

He said, "Of course, I've said that after ten days, you can do whatever you want."

They continued chatting casually.

Suddenly, Hua Limo, who was holding onto Chen Fang's waist, gave him a pinch.

He was about to ask what was wrong when,

Hua Limo whispered, "Don't turn around, there's someone following us at eight o'clock."

Chen Fang looked through the glass of a closed shop door on the roadside. Sure enough, not too far from them, a young man was hiding under the shadow of a street lamp, following them step by step.

The two exchanged glances,

understanding each other perfectly.

They walked into a 24-hour convenience store by the roadside.

Indeed,

no sooner had they entered,

the young man followed them inside.

While Chen Fang and Hua Limo pretended to pick items, the young man also came to the shelf behind them, pretending to select goods as well.

Taking advantage of the pair's inattention,

The young man performed a deft turn and plucked the cash right out of Chen Fang's pocket.

After securing the money,

he didn't leave immediately.

Instead, he casually strolled out of the shop.

Since the fish had taken the bait,

there was no need for them to keep up appearances.

They followed closely behind him.

Indeed, the young man glanced at the cash in his hand and quickly darted into a pitch-black alley.

At that moment, he was unaware that Chen Fang and Hua Limo were maintaining a distance yet closely following him.

Nobody knew how many turns he had taken.

Just as the two were about to get confused,

the young man arrived at the entrance of a two-story courtyard.

He knocked forcefully on the iron gate.

Shortly after,

the gate opened.

The pickpocket slipped in.

With no one around,

Chen Fang and Hua Limo sprinted and scaled the wall.

Peeking over, they looked inside.

The yard wasn't small, covering at least 60 square meters.

There was a two-story building at the back, with lights shining brightly on both floors.

Through the wide-open entrance, laughter roared from within.

Six or seven people were sitting around a large table inside the hall, and the one in the seat of honor was none other than Bald.

The table was full of braised dishes, and several beer bottles were scattered on the floor.

By the way they were gesticulating, it was clear they were almost drunk.

"Come on, come on, drink up,"

Can said, raising his glass.

The man with yellow hair, who Chen Fang had beaten up earlier that day, suddenly clutched his stomach and said, "Brother Can, my stomach hurts; I need to use the toilet. I'll be right back."

"A lazy donkey on a mill shits a lot, get out of here now!"

Can cursed.

They watched as Yellow Hair hurriedly rushed out of the room.

Just as they were about to continue,

a scream was heard at that moment.

Yellow Hair's body flew in through the door, slamming heavily into the corner of the table. If it weren't for the people sitting nearby, the table might have been flipped over.

This sudden incident startled everyone present.

Can reacted quickly,

slamming his hand down on the table,

and angrily said, "Guys, there's trouble, come out with me and check it out."

Having said that,

a group of people swarmed out.

In the courtyard stood two people, a man and a woman.

Can, drunk as he was, didn't recognize them at first. It was the guy whose fingers were broken in the morning who, waving his bandaged hand, pointed at Bald and said, "Boss... Boss, it's that bastard... that bastard from Jiang Yu's gang..."

"Hmm?"

Can squinted and looked,

suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Like wearing out shoes without finding rice, all skills come without effort. I wasn't looking for you, but damn, you came to me. Very well, I couldn't swallow my anger anyway. Today, I'll let you see that even Can, from the walking street, isn't easy to bully."

"Boss, it's actually, 'Like wearing out iron shoes without finding, effort is all in vain.'"

The man with the broken hand corrected him from the side.

Can smacked him on the head, roaring, "If I say it's rice, then it's rice!"

"Yes, yes, it's rice, it's rice!" Yellow Hair meekly agreed.

"Where's Jiang Yu?"

Chen Fang wasn't in the mood for their nonsense,

and asked with a somewhat somber tone.

Can, holding his head high, proudly said, "What, you have your eye on her? Tsk tsk tsk, too bad, you are too late, I sold her off."

"Sold to where?"

Chen Fang asked.

Can replied, "Why should I tell you where I sold her, do you have the right to talk to me like that?"

"What do you mean 'right'?"

Chen Fang inquired.

The man with the broken hand slapped his chest, boasting, "Strength is the right."
