Chapter 78

Second update delivered!

Yanran shouted, "What are you doing? We've already paid the rent, get out of here!"

The fat, oily-faced boss chuckled, "Unfortunately, you two are all alone in my hotel, so I'm the boss here! Hey? Who are you?"

Lin Qing didn't even put down his bowl, slowly finished eating, and then handed it to the nervous Li Meilin, "It tastes good, another bowl, please. ↑"

The corners of the fat boss's mouth twitched.

Behind him, a thug who guarded the premises suddenly lunged at Lin Qing, "Damn, didn't you hear our boss calling you?"

Lin Qing didn't move, continuing to eat.

Just as the thug's fist was about to hit him, Lin Qing suddenly struck!

He suddenly flipped over, activating the White Eyebrow Eagle Claw technique!

The thug was grabbed by Lin Qing's hand!

Originally, this guy's combat strength had reached a considerable level, or the fat boss wouldn't have hired him as a thug. But unfortunately,

Lin Qing had just gained 9 attribute points, 7 of which were allocated to agility!

These attributes, when added to Lin Qing's muscle and agility, instantly exceeded 17 points.

Combined with the various equipment enhancements equivalent to a level 4 skill, Lin Qing's White Eyebrow Eagle Claw technique was successful!

He just used a smooth move, and the thug screamed as he was thrown headfirst into the boiling pot!

A sizzling sound was heard, and the thug let out a non-human scream, his face disfigured by the scalding broth.

Everyone present felt a deep sense of empathy from the bottom of their hearts.

Lin Qing shook his head and sighed, "What a pity for this pot of delicious rice."

He stood up and said coldly, "Did you come up here just to snatch women?"

The fat boss, looking at his subordinate who was scalded like a pig's head, trembled and pointed at Lin Qing, "You... you bastard, are you out of your mind? This is the Hong Gang's territory, and I'm sworn brothers with the Second Road Marshal of the Hong Gang, Su Tangzhu..."

The more he spoke, the more he became self-satisfied, shaking his head and nodding. The thug behind him also had a sinister look. The thug who was scalded like a pig's head howled like a pig, "Boss, take out this guy, and snatch his women! Both of these women are top-notch!"

Lin Qing listened with a calm face, as if nothing had happened, and then kicked the thug's face hard!

The thug screamed again, the blisters on his face burst under Lin Qing's foot, causing him excruciating pain.

"Does it hurt?" Lin Qing said coldly, "If you know pain, that's good. You came here to find trouble for yourselves!"

He stood up and said with a cold smile, "You know Su Tangzhu, so take a look at this."

He took out the Red Flower Twin Sticks token and flashed it.

The fat boss was stunned.

Of course, he had heard of the legend of the Red Flower Twin Sticks.

"You... you..."

His fat fingers trembled, pointing at Lin Qing.

Lin Qing said sternly, "Dare you leak any secrets?"

His face was full of killing intent.

The fat boss immediately wilted, his face turning a dark purple, and suddenly turned to a fawning expression, bowing and scraping, "Oh... hehe, sir. I'm blind, I'm blind, I'm blind! I deserve to die! I deserve to die!"

He slapped his own face hard, leaving a red handprint, and for fear that Lin Qing was not satisfied, he slapped the thug behind him hard, "Damn it. It's all your fault, you two scoundrels, saying these women have no master, inciting me to come up here, making me lose face! I'll kill you! Get out! Get out!"

This sudden change from arrogance to humility left Li Meilin and Yanran stunned.

Lin Qing sneered inwardly.

It seemed that in the Hong Gang's territory, the identity of the Red Flower Twin Sticks was really useful.

To deal with these ruffians, only such a hard-hitting approach had the power to intimidate.

The fat boss and the two thugs bowed and scraped, then retreated, and Lin Qing turned to the dining table, sighing, "What a pity for this pot of good rice."

Li Meilin and Yanran looked at Lin Qing, their mouths agape in surprise.

They knew Lin Qing was strong, but they didn't expect him to be so strong, easily dealing with these local ruffians.

Lin Qing smiled calmly, "Let's go, we'll go see the house."

He led the mother and daughter downstairs, and the fat boss didn't even dare to charge them for the room, almost kneeling to lick their feet.

The Red Flower Twin Sticks were a mysterious force of fewer than 100 people in the Hong Gang, all core members. Although he claimed to be sworn brothers with the Second Road Marshal, Su Tangzhu, he had only had two drinks and given two tributes. Normally, he did as he pleased, but if the Marshal knew he had provoked a Red Flower Twin Sticks expert, he would not let it go easily!

In this space, the big fish eat the small fish. As a hotel owner, he was not even a shrimp, so how could he dare to provoke Lin Qing.

He just drooled over Li Meilin and Yanran from behind.

Lin Qing led the mother and daughter through the streets and alleys.

"Hey? Why are we heading towards the city center?" Yanran asked in surprise, "Shouldn't we be avoiding the Hong Gang?"

"The city center is the best place for protection and the best environment," Lin Qing said frankly, "Our house is there."

The mother and daughter looked at the increasingly beautiful urban environment, the more orderly streets, and the patrolling teams, their expressions of doubt growing stronger.

They knew that in this space city where strength is paramount, even if you have money, you might not be able to live here. Those who can live here are either powerful and highly ranked members of the Hong Gang or their relatives.

Lin Qing led them through three blocks, and the urban environment became even more beautiful. Yanran was even surprised to find a bustling commercial street ahead, with restaurants, bars, fashion stores, equipment stores, jewelry stores, and even luxury shops!

"Wow! Kuchi! What is this place? How can it be so prosperous?" Yanran felt a sense of temporal dislocation, as if she was not in the dirty and wild maze city but in a modern metropolis.

"I think it's the supply points that have been exchanged with the space," Lin Qing said with a light smile, "Don't forget, as long as there are supply points, there's nothing you can't get."

Despite this, Lin Qing still marveled at the power of the Hong Gang.

To build such a prosperous world in such a dangerous environment, the human and material management capabilities of the Hong Gang were evident.

However, the Hong Gang also had deep-rooted problems.

That is, they cannot achieve fairness.

No matter how flexible the organization is, the fact that it implements dictatorial rule and high-pressure control is undeniable.

Lin Qing's steps finally stopped in front of a villa complex.

Li Meilin and Yanran were already gaping in surprise.

"Here... are we really going to live here?" Li Meilin looked at Lin Qing suspiciously.

In fact, Lin Qing was also secretly amazed.

He had fought his way out of the slums and never expected to live in such a place.

However, with such a good place, who would let their women live in the more dangerous and unsafe slums?

Two burly guards poked their heads out and saw Lin Qing, surprised, and saluted him, "Sir, you're back!"

It seemed that this was a butler-style service, providing the highest standard of service to each resident.

Their eyes glanced at the two beauties, and a knowing look flashed in their eyes.

Lin Qing maintained a stern and dignified demeanor, nodded slightly as a greeting, and then walked straight into the villa complex.

One of the guards, fawning, led him to his house, "This way, sir. Hehe."

It saved Lin Qing from the trouble of searching around.

The guard stopped in front of a beautiful villa.

The villa was modeled after a French-style manor. The French marble exterior, two stories high, covered an area of about 300 square meters, and there was a small garden of over 300 square meters. It was filled with flowers and statues, and there was a small fountain in the center, just missing a swimming pool.

Lin Qing nodded, took out the surgeon's seal, and swiped it on the front door.

Click, the door opened.

The guard respectfully stepped back.

He knew that the residents of this complex were either rich or powerful, and this doctor was likely a close associate of the Hong Gang, with a high future status.

Lin Qing led Li Meilin and her daughter into the house, as if he were the true owner.

After closing the door, Yanran cheered and suddenly jumped onto the large sofa, bouncing and jumping.

"Brat, do you have any manners? Get down quickly!" Li Meilin scolded.

Yanran made a face, stuck out her tongue, but refused to get off the sofa, saying, "I haven't had a good sleep in a long time. No one is going to pull me off this sofa today."

"Are you sure?" Lin Qing said with a mischievous smile, opening a door.

On the other side of the door was a large, comfortable European-style bed!

Even in modern society, such a bed would cost six figures!

Yanran immediately abandoned the sofa and rushed to the soft bed, diving onto it like a swallow, burying her head in the comfortable down pillow, and murmuring, "I don't care. I'm going to sleep for a while. Call me when the food is ready."

Lin Qing couldn't help but laugh.

This girl, who usually showed no fear in times of crisis and was sensible and generous, was so cute in this comfortable environment.
