I Just Won't Play by the Book - Chapter 44
Chapter 44: This Face Seems Familiar…
“Boss, it’s them.” In front of an herbal tea shop, Tian Shu and the Xie Zi found Li Fucheng’s group.
“Well…the six of them all wore straw hats and sandals, and the women’s stripes were also very smooth. They were all foreigners.” Xie Zi turned his head and said to Da Leng, “You and Bie Niu keep watching them, I will report to Third Brother.”
“Okay, don’t worry, leave it to us.” Da Leng patted his chest and assured.
Xie Zi turned around and mixed into the crowd and slowly left.
After a while, in a large manor outside the town, Xie Zi reported a signal to see Chen Yuanzhou who was consuming dazzling moth powder.
“Third Brother, we found them”
“Oh?” Chen Yuanzhou, who had a flushed face, let out a mouthful of turbid blue air, “Are you sure?”
“There are six people in total, all wearing straw hats and sandals, just as you described.”
“Very good.” Chen Yuanzhou stood up and straightened his messy hair. He then packed a bag of gray-white powder next to him and stuffed it into his arms, “Let’s go, show me.”
“This way.”
Through a few special contact codes, Xie Zi brought Chen Yuanzhou to the town’s market, and found Da Leng and Xiao Niu who were still stalking Li Fucheng’s group.
“Third Brother.” As soon as they saw Chen Yuanzhou, Yan Niu and Da Leng hurriedly saluted.
“Where are they?” Chen Yuanzhou asked.
The Bie Niu immediately replied, “They went to the pickle shop, and Tian Shu followed them inside.”
Nodding, Chen Yuanzhou walked directly into the pickle shop and saw Li Fucheng and the others.
“Senior brother, this pickle looks crispy, let’s buy some and try it.”
“Okay. It did look pretty good.”
After picking up a jar of pickles, Li Fucheng’s group left the store.
Just when the boss was about to put the money into the cash box, he suddenly heard a voice shouting, “Wait.”
The frightened boss raised his head, but when he saw the person coming, he quickly put on a smile and said, “Mr. Chen, you came. Welcome, welcome.”
“Stop talking nonsense, give me the copper coins that they paid you just now.”
After listening to this, the boss was frightened, but he didn’t hesitate at all. He immediately handed the money out with both hands, “That’s all, Master Chen, take it.”
Taking a copper coin from the boss’s hand, Chen Yuanzhou’s eyes widened, “It really is the three treasures coin from Huainan area.”
After confirming, Chen Yuanzhou threw the copper coin back into the boss’s hand, glared at him and said, “Don’t tell anyone that you’ve seen me, or you’ll know what happens.” After speaking, he turned and left the shop.
Tian Shu hit the table and roared, “Did you hear me, old guy, if you dare to say it…” After speaking, he showed his fists to the boss.
The boss who was threatened by them repeatedly said yes, and he felt relieved after the two evil stars had left, feeling that his back was completely soaked.
“What the hell happened…”
Chen Yuanzhou, who walked out of the pickle shop, found Xie Zi and the others again, and said, “Go find two people and make some trouble.”
“Yes, I’ll do it right away.” Xie Zi nodded, then quickly turned and left.
Although Chen Yuanzhou was already 70% sure that the group of people in front of him were the ones Gu Louqing met before, he wanted to double confirm it. Gu Louqing mentioned that there was a girl who was easily fooled, she should be helping the hothead.
After a while, Li Fucheng and others who had visited the entire market were about to find an inn to stay. Then, they heard a loud noise coming from the front.
“Bang!” “Dang!” “Boom!”
Various tables and chairs fell down, and the sound of broken dishes sounded one after another.
“Ouch! Mr. Wu! Don’t smash it, don’t smash it! I’m kowtowing to you! I beg you.”
“F*ck! You dare to these unpalatable sesame pastes. I’m tearing down your shop for the people of Luoxia Town! Bah! You f*cking scammer.” That Mr. Wu knocked down some chairs again.
The boss couldn’t do anything except kowtow and beg for mercy.
Li Fucheng, who came over to see this scene, frowned, and Tang Tingshuang, who was behind him, was already frowning. Her eyes widened. If it wasn’t the young master told her to keep a low profile, she would have rushed forward already.
Thinking about what happened to them along the way, and Tang Tingshuang’s unhealed wound, Li Fucheng was about to tell his group to leave. Then, he suddenly remembered what his Brother Wang said to him at that time.
“You can safely travel all the way from Huainan to Rivernorth, do you really think you are skilled enough?”
Thinking of this, Li Fucheng suddenly said, “Tingshuang, Xiao Ni, you go up and help.”
Tang Tingshuang was stunned for a moment, but she raised her brows and said happily, “Yes!”
The reason Li Fucheng made this decision was to make sure that Third Uncle was really around. If he was, Li Fucheng would really like to see him and tell him about the hardships along the way.
“You! Stop it!” Tang Tingshuang shouted and rushed up.
Not far away, Chen Yuanzhou, who saw Tang Tingshuang rushing up, was completely sure that this group of people was definitely the same group that Gu Louqing met before. So, he stopped looking and said to the Xie Zi, “Keep watching them.” he then turned and left.
…
“It’s too disrespectful to our Yellow Gang!”
In a magnificent hall, after listening to what Chen Yuanzhou described, a tall and thin man shouted loudly.
Gu Louqing thought about it for a while and said, “Even though they have suffered losses, they still have to deal with such nosy things. It seems that they are really confident in their own strength.”
“Huh! They thought that they have won our Order Master Gu. They thought that we have no other experts in the Yellow Gang, that’s why they are so arrogant.”
Hearing this sarcastic tone, Gu Louqing immediately pulled out the copper knife around his waist and shouted at the man with a folding fan on the opposite side, “Meng, stop mocking me. If you have the ability, just go out and fight with me.”
“Let’s go! I’m not afraid of you!” The man closed the folding fan and stood up abruptly.
“What are you arguing about!”
Seeing that the battle was about to break out, a middle-aged man slowly walked into the hall.
As soon as they saw the person coming, the two, who were fighting with each other, turned around and bowed and said, “Greeting, Deputy Leader.”
“I heard that you found them, right?” Cheng Qingheng glanced at Chen Yuanzhou after asking.
“Yes, a group of six people should come from Huainan. I have already sent someone to find out their details.”
“How old do they look?”
“The leader is about sixteen or seventeen years old, and the few who follow are about the same.”
Cheng Qingheng pondered for a moment after listening to it, “How can he suppress Louqing at the age of sixteen or seventeen? What kind of genius disciple is this?”
Gu Louqing’s face fell, but he did not dare to refute, so he could only lower his head and not speak.
“Yuanzhou.”
Hearing the deputy leader calling him, Chen Yuanzhou hurriedly said, “Yes.”
“Take me there to see them, this kind of young genius is rare, I have to confirm it myself.”
“Yes!”
Cheng Qingheng acted resolutely, and after speaking, he asked Chen Yuanzhou to take him to the town.
All the way to the market, Chen Yuanzhou found that the Li Fucheng’s group had not left yet, and there was a young man in a white long shirt beside Li Fucheng. The two sides seemed to be very happy chatting.
“Deputy Leader, those with straw hats are the ones we’re looking for.”
Cheng Qingheng nodded and looked towards Li Fucheng.
At this moment, Li Fucheng just took off his straw hat, and said to the young man in white shirt, “I am Gu Qingyue from Sect of Skies and Clouds. Thank you, for your righteous action just now.”
“It’s nothing. I originally wanted to act, but I didn’t expect Brother Gu stole the show, but it’s not a loss to get to know a chivalrous person like you, hahaha! It’s a pleasure to meet all the heroes.”
“Heavy Cloud Sword – Zhou Guican!? Why is he here?” Chen Yuanzhou was stunned after hearing this. This Misty Sect disciple has been in the limelight recently. He has picked up a lot of gangs in the Xiajin district, and now he has come here.
Although Cheng Qingheng was a little surprised by appearance of Zhou Guican, what was even more surprising was Li Fucheng’s face.
“This face is so familiar…. Where have I seen him before?”
