Bang!
Once everyone in the room had left, Hong Qichang slapped Liu Cai Chun across the face.
"You bastard, what the hell is wrong with you? Why did you hit me?" Liu Cai Chun was stunned by the slap and shouted angrily at him.
This was the first time Hong Qichang had hit his wife.
Hong Qichang, furious, yelled, "Why didn't you fight back?"
"Fight back against what?"
"Damn it, you're still pretending to be confused. When that guy Xiao was touching your thigh, why did you let him do it and even look like you were enjoying it?"
"You... Hong, you're a man. That guy was touching your wife right in front of you, why didn't you get angry?"
"I..."
Seeing Hong Qichang's tongue tied in knots, Liu Cai Chun became more emboldened. She pointed at his nose and mocked, "Hong, they are bullying you right to your face. Not only do you not dare to say a word, but you also take it out on your own wife. What kind of leader of the Flying Tiger Gang are you? You've completely lost the face of the Flying Tiger Gang!"
Hearing Liu Cai Chun's words, Hong Qichang felt like he was about to faint from anger.
After all, he was a man. His wife was being bullied, yet he sat there like a bystander, indifferent and detached. What kind of situation was that?
In that moment, after being hit with Liu Cai Chun's sharp retort, Hong Qichang felt as if he had swallowed his words and couldn't utter a single sentence.
"Forget it... you go back to your room!"
Liu Cai Chun angrily said, "Hmph, Hong, remember this: starting today, for the next month, I won't allow you to touch me!"
Hong Qichang usually feared Liu Cai Chun the most when she resorted to this tactic.
"You... sigh..."
Watching Liu Cai Chun storm into the inner chamber, he shook his head and sighed. How could a dignified leader of the Flying Tiger Gang endure such treatment?
Hong Qichang called his butler, Old Kong, over and asked in a calmer tone, "Old Kong, you've been by my side for nearly ten years now. Honestly, how have I treated you?"
"Boss Hong, you have shown me, Old Kong, great kindness. Why would you ask such a question?" Old Kong replied with an expressionless face.
Hong Qichang smiled and said, "Well, Old Kong, I remember you once mentioned that you are a Water Element User and can use water to kill. If we could form an alliance with Elemental Affinity Users, we would be unbeatable. I want to ask you: if such an alliance could be formed, would we have a chance against that Xiao?"
Old Kong nodded and said, "That would definitely not be a problem. However, there are very few attribute users in this world now. Even if there are some, they tend to keep a low profile and won't be easily discovered. Forming such an alliance is indeed as difficult as reaching the sky!"
Hong Qichang replied, "I know it's difficult, but it's worth a try."
"Yes, you're right, Boss. I know of one attribute user right here."
"Oh? Who is that person and where are they?"
Old Kong said, "Do you remember the opening of the Royal Luxury Entertainment Club a few days ago? When you took me to the banquet, I noticed their security captain, Niu Tian, is actually a Fire Attribute User!"
"He is a Fire Attribute User?" Hong Qichang exclaimed in surprise.
Old Kong nodded and said, "Yes, it's just that his abilities have not been developed yet, but once they are, he will be able to conjure fire out of thin air to deal with any enemy!"
Hong Qichang listened, and his shining eyes quickly dimmed as he sighed, "He is from the Royal Luxury Entertainment Club, which makes it very difficult to recruit him. Besides, this club is not something others can provoke."
Old Kong, however, smiled and said, "The attributes of these individuals are mutually restraining and nurturing; they have a natural affinity for each other. As long as Boss needs me to step in, Niu Tian will definitely listen to me."
"Well, that's good. However, we need to take this slowly and not upset the Boss at the Royal Luxury Entertainment Club," Hong Qichang pondered. "If you have the time, I hope you can help me check if there are any other attribute users in the Galactic District."
"Yes, I will do my best!" Old Kong replied.
While the two were talking in the living room, Liu Cai Chun received a call from Lu Shan in the inner room.
Lu Shan said on the phone, "Cai Chun, are you free right now? Can you come out for a bit? That person named Xiao wants to treat us both to dinner."
The person named Xiao naturally referred to Xiao Yun.
Wasn't Lu Shan having dinner with a few Vice Hall Masters from Wolf Gang? Why did Xiao Yun suddenly want to invite her out for dinner?
"Lu Shan, what exactly is going on?" Liu Cai Chun asked nervously.
Lu Shan replied, "I’m not sure why Xiao Yun wants to invite us. Just find a way to come out without letting Hong Gang Master notice anything. In any case, we cannot offend Master Xiao."
"Okay, tell me where to meet. I'll get ready and come out shortly!"
...
After leaving Hong's main gate, Xiao Yun let out a long breath.
Since Ouyang Bing was escorted away from the Galactic District, it seems this woman has been at odds with Xiao Yun. He tried calling her several times, but she never answered.
What a petty jealousy!
Xiao Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly as he pondered how to win the understanding of the Violent Policewoman.
The only way was to help lift the Blood Curse on Ouyang Xiaomei.
However, he truly had no way to deal with the poison of the Blood Curse. Although he possessed powerful Heavenly Spirit Essence, he couldn't expel the Blood Curse poison from Ouyang Xiaomei's body, just as he couldn't relieve Qiu Yue of the Death Flower Poison.
Thus, Xiao Yun thought of the Blood Curse Gate Card that Red Sister had inadvertently stolen from Hong Qichang. He decided to return it to Hong Qichang and see if he could find any clues about the Mastermind behind the Blood Curse Gate and discover a way to detoxify.
What he didn't expect was to find that the butler Old Kong in the Hong Family was actually an Attribute User.
Having already experienced the formidable power of Attribute Users through Orchid Daoist's mutation, he knew how rare they were in this world. If they could become part of his strength, many problems would be easier to solve.
He hoped that Cold as Ice could form her own team upon arriving in Viper Town, and at the same time, he wished for a strong support force by his side.
After returning to the villa, Xiao Yun called one of Hong Qichang's Four Tiger Generals, Lu Shan.
"Hello, who is this?" came Lu Shan's impatient voice from the other end of the line.
At that time, Xiao Yun had noted down their phone numbers when he caught Lu Shan and Liu Cai Chun having an affair, intending to use them for his own purposes later. Not having given them his number, it was normal for Lu Shan to respond in such a tone upon seeing an unfamiliar number.
Xiao Yun smiled slightly: "This is Xiao Yun!"
Uh, it was clear that the call was made by Xiao Yun, and Lu Shan was startled, momentarily at a loss for words.
Xiao Yun asked, "Where are you, Lu Shan?"
"Uh, I... just wait a moment, I'll talk to you in a bit..."
From the noisy background on the phone, Xiao Yun could tell that the place was quite lively. He even recognized Fang Xiong's voice, which suggested that after leaving Hong Family, the people from Flying Tiger Gang had taken them to a hotel.
It seemed that Lu Shan, in front of those people, didn't dare to let anyone know that it was Xiao Yun who called him, so he asked him to wait, likely looking for a suitable place to talk.
Xiao Yun felt amused; it appeared this guy had some sense.
Of course, Lu Shan wasn't foolish. There were three other Tiger Generals with him at the hotel. If they found out he was secretly on the phone with Xiao Yun, they would definitely suspect him of being a traitor.
If Hong Qichang found out about it, his life would be in danger.
Xiao Yun wasn't in a hurry; he hung up the phone and waited for Lu Shan to call back.
He knew that once he made this call, Lu Shan wouldn't dare not return it.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before Lu Shan called back.
"Xiao Master, did you need something?" Lu Shan asked nervously.
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "It's nothing much; I just wanted to invite you out for a meal."
"Uh, you want to have dinner with me, Xiao Master?" Lu Shan questioned, doubting whether his ears were malfunctioning and wondering if everything he just heard was just an illusion.
"Yes, by the way, you'd better invite your lover Liu Cai Chun!"
"Xiao Master, this... Hong Gang Master is at home, I..."
"What does it matter if Hong is at home? Don't you have the guts to go after his wife? Now you don't have the courage to invite him out?"
"I..."
"I'll be waiting for you at Sister-in-law Restaurant near the alley about a hundred meters north of Jincheng South Road!"
Xiao Yun didn't want to waste more time with him. With that, he hung up the phone.
It wasn't far from Rose Garden Community to there. Xiao Yun decided not to drive and walked over alone.
He knew that once he made that call, Lu Shan wouldn't dare not to come.
Lu Shan would also find a way to bring Liu Cai Chun out.
Inviting a pair of lovebirds to dinner, Master Xiao naturally had his own plans.
