The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1639 - 1638: Loyalty

"Family Head Wu primarily deals in herbal medicine business, focusing entirely on it, and has slowly neglected managing us brothers. We thought, since the Family Head only cares about making money, we might as well earn for ourselves. So..."So you came up with such a terrible idea?

It's one thing to lack skills, but to imitate others and demand protection money? Luckily, the person you met today was Tang Rao. Tang Rao has some connection with Wu Gexin. Since you're Wu Gexin's people, Tang Rao will personally deliver you to Wu Gexin.

"I trust you, but that's not a reason for me to let you go. How about this, I'll give you a choice: either die by my hand, or I'll hand you over to your Family Head. Whether he seeks justice for you or punishes you has nothing to do with me."

Didn't expect him to beg so humbly, yet Tang Rao still wouldn't let them go.

"Is there really no room for negotiation?"

The people inside the Qi Shield were full of resentment, feeling deceived. They were promised release if they revealed their boss, but it turns out they've landed themselves in a predicament.

"Of course, I just shared my thoughts with you. The choice is in your hands."

Tang Rao claimed to be giving them a choice, but in reality, every path led to a dead end, merely choosing whose hands they died by.

Wu Gexin arrived at the scene immediately after the incident, and the first thing he saw was the people trapped inside the Qi Shield.

Tang Rao's words were clear to him. Even though Tang Rao didn't criticize Wu Gexin openly, the fact that he contacted Wu Gexin through Illusion City right away showed his trust in Wu Gexin exceeded that for others.

"Big Bro Tang Rao, why bother saying so much to these people? Traitors have no right to live!"

Wu Gexin couldn't hold back anymore and came forward from a distance.

The people inside the Qi Shield were filled with disappointment upon seeing Wu Gexin.

After all, Wu Gexin's expression indicated he heard everything they said before.

Traitor?

Traitors?

Tang Rao leisurely, having encountered many traitors in his life, never thought that the label 'traitor' would appear on people like these.

Wu Gexin barely tolerated this handful of traitors around him?

"Please forgive us, Family Head, we've lost our senses. Please give us another chance, we won't dare again."

Won't dare again? Doing such things once just leads to more. Wu Gexin knew it was the first time he was aware, but...

"Based on your words, how much do you think I can believe?"

If Tang Rao weren't present, Wu Gexin wouldn't even look these people in the eye.

Though he's always thinking about making money, Wu Gexin has a moral compass on what can and cannot be done; there's always a bottom line.

"Family Head, we truly regret it, please spare us."

Through the Qi Shield, Wu Gexin could hear the sound of people bowing their heads inside.

The corpses of those who previously died were still there, seeing dead bodies was devastating enough, and seeing Wu Gexin made things more unbearable for them.

"From the moment you joined my Wu family, I told you, the Wu family cannot tolerate traitors. Becoming a traitor means facing the consequences!"

The Qi Shield belonged to Tang Rao, but the people were Wu Gexin's. To punish them, Wu Gexin first needed Tang Rao's consent.

"I wonder if the Big Boss could allow me to handle these people, since they come from my Wu family, tainting our reputation. The Wu family needs them to account for this."

Wu Gexin's words were firm, demonstrating his resolute conviction.

In this matter, Tang Rao could see himself as involved or detached. Wu Gexin's words helped him quickly make his choice.

"I'll give you the people. Dispose of them as you see fit. As long as my territory doesn't see any more extortion attempts, the rest doesn't concern me."

Tang Rao retracted the Qi Shield, and as he did, both corpses and living individuals were exposed to the world once more. The corpses felt nothing, but the living felt a sense of survival.

Unfortunately, that feeling didn't last long. Falling into Tang Rao's hands was tolerable, since it was merely an attempt at extortion, but falling into Wu Gexin's hands was different. They were traitors, unworthy of life.

"Thank you, Big Boss!"

Wu Gexin called Tang Rao "Big Boss" twice, subtly showing his respect.

And in the next instant, he killed all the living traitors, leaving none alive.

A businessman he might be, but he was powerful too. His victims didn't even manage to scream before losing all signs of life.

"Take the bodies away. Kao Shan Street can't have people like this, or rather, even their disgraceful corpses!"

Wu Gexin naturally understood Tang Rao's intentions. From the moment Tang Rao waited for Wu Gexin to appear and handed over these people, it was clear.

Indeed, Wu Gexin put all the corpses into the Space Ring, started a fire in it, and the flames were fierce. Quickly, unseen, the bodies were reduced to nothing, not even ashes.

"Big Boss, everyone's been dealt with. As for today's occurrence, my inadequate management is to blame. Please forgive me, and tell me how to compensate. As long as it's within my power, I'll do anything!"

Wu Gexin carried out all the rituals to perfection, leaving no flaws for Tang Rao to spot.

"Let's go, it's over."

Tang Rao intended to say something, glanced at Wu Gexin, but swallowed his words.

Truth be told, Tang Rao knew more about the Business Alliance than anyone, thanks to Family Head Liu personally briefing him. But there were questions he couldn't conveniently ask Family Head Liu, so he decided to keep his thoughts to himself.

Wu Gexin was perplexed, certain Tang Rao wanted to say something when he looked at him, but was puzzled by the sudden change of heart.

Another chapter before midnight.
