Chapter 322 - Tough Nut to Crack (1/2)

Huang He paused and looked at Brother Steel. “You might not like what I’m going to say, but I’m someone who likes to speak the truth. If I’m not compelled by the circumstances, even if your nest has been flipped by Bai Muchuan, I won’t get myself involved—it’s simply too dangerous! I don’t have to take such risk, right?”

“…” Too honest.

That would surely make Brother Steel feel a loss of face?

He did not look good, but Huang He continued his earnest speech.

“I have money, no way I couldn’t get the goods, right? If there’s no Brother Steel, there will be other sellers. Even if Dark Clan ceased to exist anymore, there will always be other alternatives. There’s nothing that money can’t buy, right? So… I really have no choice but to get involved in this mess…”

Brother Steel nodded his head.

“Sounds reasonable.”

He started to get curious about why Huang He had to get involved.

“What exactly happened that you have no choice but to come personally?”

Brother Steel’s expression clearly showed—that he was very interested to know about Huang He’s plight so he could gloat over it.

Huang He smiled coldly. “Someone forced me to do so!”

Brother Steel: “Forced?”

Huang He nodded his head and looked at Brother Steel. “They held a girl that I liked in captive…”

Brother Steel was a little taken aback. “A girl? I thought you and Sister Danyue?”

Huang He gave him a meaningful look as his mouth formed a smile.

“Hahahahaha!”

Brother Steel had figured out what was going on even though Huang He only showed a smile and did not give an explanation.

They were men after all, how could they not understand?

After exchanging glances with Huang He, Brother Steel let out a cackle.

“You’re willing to do anything for your woman! Brother Crown Prince, I didn’t expect that you’re actually a passionate lover as well. This brother salutes you…”

“It’s not passionate!” Huang He refused to accept such a label. He snorted and looked at Brother Steel casually. “They’re the ones who broke the rules, so they can’t blame me, right? The path we are taking now is not easy. If I got slapped in the face and don’t retaliate, how am I going to continue to make a living in the underworld?”

“Correct! Isn’t our purpose for being alive is to fight for ourselves?”

Brother Steel nodded his head in agreement before he suddenly laughed. “Who have such guts to mess with you? Who are they?”

Huang He sneered but did not reply to Brother Steel’s question.

Brother Steel thought it might not be convenient for Huang He to reveal and nodded his head in understanding. “What you’ve said is right.” He puffed a sigh. “Life is getting tougher being in this line… Brother Six had left, and as for me, the police is hot on my heels—”

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became that he ruffled his hair restlessly.

“Some of my men are dead, and I don’t know how my boss will deal with me afterward! If this base is not exposed, maybe it will be fine. But the moment this base got found out…”

Brother Steel’s eyes actually revealed signs of fear as he looked at Huang He. “Brother Crown Prince, when that time comes, I’m going to die a horrible death, worse than Brother Six!”

Huang He gave him a sidelong glance. “You can always choose to surrender without putting up a fight?”

Brother Steel’s eyes opened big and wide, bewildered. “Surrender without putting up a fight?”

Huang He: “If you’re caught by Bai Muchuan, I can guarantee that at least you won’t die a horrible death!”

What a humorous consolation!

Brother Steel couldn’t utter a word for a while.

Lots of possible decisions surfaced in his mind, and that made him restless.

“Just my luck to have run into Bai Muchuan, this mad dog! I’m already hiding in Vulture’s Mouth, yet he refuses to let me off! It’s just the bleeping five of them, right? And he dared to mess with me! D*mn, this is really…”

He slammed his fist on the table, unable to complete his sentence.

… That was because even though there were only five detectives including Bai Muchuan, Brother Steel was unable to do anything to them.

Yu Bo didn’t know the truth behind all these events.

He had thought that Bai Muchuan and the few of them were being forced to enter Vulture’s Mouth by Brother Steel.

But in fact, it was Brother Steel who got played by Bai Muchuan.

When Bai Muchuan and his men retreated from the villa, Brother Steel thought he had gained the upper hand. He left his bullet-proof jeep and led his men into the forest… In the end, when Bai Muchuan launched a counter-attack, he not only lost a few of his men, he also lost the protection from his bullet-proof jeep.

Due to that, Brother Steel had no choice but to lead his men deeper into the forest of Vulture’s Mouth.

He had absolute confidence in that infamous forest after all.

He had thought that he could make use of Bai Muchuan’s unfamiliarity of the forest and trap them in there. While doing so, he could even eliminate them in the process, or at least they could get away from them.

However…

In the end, it turned out to be like this.

“That man is a police dog! He’s a dog!”

As he felt enraged, the words he said were unpleasant.

Huang He acted like he didn’t hear anything as he continued to sip his tea slowly.

“Just calm down! Things are already like this, if you have the strength to scold him, why not use that to come up with a plan to deal with them instead!”

Brother Steel took a look at the window out of reflex.

It seemed like he had thought of something when he suddenly turned his head and looked earnestly at Huang He.

“Brother Crown Prince, do you think… they’ll really find this place?”
