Immortality begins in the Great Wilderness Grotto Heaven

"There aren't that many demons and evil spirits."

On the street, Zhou An looked at Liu Shuqing's solemn expression and said in a deep voice.

"The reason those people disappeared without a trace is probably because they were threatened by the Chang Le Gang."

"Brother Zhou, do you mean those people were lying?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Shuqing's eyes flickered.

"Who knows what's true and what's false?"

Zhou An waved his hand.

As the saying goes, "You can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple."

Instead of pondering whether it's true or false, we should thoroughly investigate the recent activities of the Chang Le Gang.

Since they like to use people to pay off debts, it's nothing more than selling women into brothels and sending men to do hard labor.

Even if those families manage to raise the money afterward, as long as the Chang Le Gang acts quickly and signs a contract with their partners first...

At this point, Zhou An gave a cold laugh.

"Brother Liu, do you really think these people who can't even come up with ten taels of silver can afford to pay the penalty for breach of contract?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Shuqing frowned and asked, full of confusion.

"Since they knew this would happen, why did they borrow money from the Chang Le Gang in the first place?"

"Before lending money, they weren't necessarily part of the Chang Le Gang; after lending money..."

Zhou An didn't say anything more.

He could tell from the fact that Liu Shuqing could hand him several taels of silver without even blinking.

My partner's family background must be quite good.

I may have come into contact with some people from the lower classes in my daily life, but I probably know very little about their struggles.

"Let's go."

Seeing that Liu Shuqing was still deep in thought, Zhou An waved his hand and immediately walked in the direction where the tall, thin man and the others had left.

"Since you can't figure it out, why don't you follow them and take a look? Anyway, our patrol area is right here."

"Alright."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shuqing nodded.

......

"Brother Ma, those two city guards are catching up."

On the street, a burly man was walking when he suddenly saw Zhou An and Liu Shuqing following behind. He panicked and quickly spoke to the tall, thin man.

"What's the panic? They couldn't do anything to us in the alley, let alone on the main street."

Upon hearing this, Ma San's expression changed, but he still mustered his courage and spoke.

"Go to the teahouse and find Master Jin first. If there's anything, Master Jin will take care of it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma San and his group sped up.

"Brother Zhou, it seems they've discovered us."

Faced with this sudden change, Liu Shuqing immediately asked.

"I never intended to hide it."

Zhou An nodded, thinking to himself.

He is a man who values ​​promises above all else.

If we agree to take action in two days, we will absolutely not do it earlier.

Before long, a shop called Red Oil Tea Shop appeared in front of the two.

In Zhou An's view, he saw Ma San and the others quickly approach a middle-aged man wearing a square hat in front of the teahouse.

At first glance, the man looked like a seasoned accountant.

Judging from the extremely respectful manner of the tall, thin man and his group, the man who looked like the accountant was clearly the same Jin Biao Jin Ye that everyone had mentioned before.

"He does have a kind face."

Thinking of Fang Shi and Boss Peng, who had died at his hands, Zhou An sighed with interest.

"I am Jin Biao of the Chang Le Gang. I greet you both, sirs."

Upon approaching, before Zhou An and the other could speak, Jin Biao, who appeared to be the accountant, stood up first and said with a smile.

"If there was anything wrong with my men when they were collecting the debts just now, I hope you two officials will forgive them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Biao gave a wink to the tall, thin man behind him.

The latter immediately took out a money pouch from his pocket and nervously handed over the money.

"We won't take the money. It's only right to pay back debts, and you're just following the rules."

Faced with the silver handed to him, Zhou An merely glanced at it and then spoke calmly.

"What do those two officials mean?"

Upon hearing this, a look of astonishment flashed across Jin Biao's eyes.

"This territory is now under the jurisdiction of my brother and me. I will abide by your rules, and you must abide by mine."

Now that the debt is settled, there should be no further harassment in the future.

Besides, even if you're using people to settle debts, you still need to keep a low profile.

If someone dies, don't blame me for making an example of you.

Meeting Jin Biao's gaze, Zhou An spoke each word clearly.

"clear."

Jin Biao nodded and said with a smile.

"I hereby promise that I will not cause trouble for the two officials in the future."

"Okay, it's good to hear that."

Zhou An nodded, and then, under the watchful eyes of Jin Biao and the others, he turned and left with Liu Shuqing.

"Brother Zhou, shouldn't we ask about the person who disappeared?"

Seeing Zhou An leave so easily, Liu Shuqing glanced at Jin Biao and the others in the teahouse behind her, and asked with a frown.

"What do you think of this gold label, Brother Liu?"

"He doesn't seem like someone involved in a gang; he's more like an accountant manager... I see. We probably won't get any useful information from this old fox."

Liu Shuqing reacted quickly and immediately realized what was happening.

"Just meet them once, and remember what they look like."

Upon hearing this, Zhou An smiled slightly. Talking to smart people is simple.

"We've found the person; the next step is to find out their address... Accountant?"

Thinking of this, Zhou An couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

A gangster dressed like this.

He must have a lot of money. If he can deal with this person, he should be financially secure for the foreseeable future.

"Master Jin..."

Watching Zhou An and Liu Shuqing walk further and further away, the tall, thin man nervously handed over the money he had collected earlier.

"Judging from their appearance, they should be the young talents of the martial arts school."

I reckon he just joined the City Guard and wants to make a good impression so he can be better positioned to join the City Defense Division in the future.

When collecting debts later, just avoid them.

Jin Biao said calmly.

"Compared to them, the Wild Wolf Gang is our biggest threat."

Old Peng was quite capable, yet he died mysteriously in the outer city, and to make matters worse, his men died in the shantytown the day before...

When you collect debts in the future, be sure to pay close attention to strangers.

If you discover anyone secretly following you, be sure to notify the gang immediately.

"Yes, Mr. Jin."

Upon hearing this, the tall, thin man and the others felt a chill run down their spines.

The deaths of Boss Peng and his men remain an unsolved mystery for the Chang Le Gang to this day.

Just as he was thinking this, the tall, thin man suddenly saw that Mr. Jin's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but tremble.

"Master Jin?"

"It's alright."

Seeing the panicked expressions on the faces of the tall, thin man and the others, Jin Biao, amidst violent coughing, quickly took out an iron wine pot from his pocket.

"It's just some old problems!"

As he spoke, Jin Biao licked the corner of his mouth, and a strong smell of alcohol seeped out along with the blood at the corner of his mouth.

Whether it was a misperception or not, the tall, thin man felt that the eyes of the man in front of him... for a fleeting moment, straightened up.

......
