Chapter 84

In a bar near the Xiaoyang City train station, although the door was tightly closed, the inside was brightly lit.

"Brother Qin, spare our lives! We two brothers are blind as dogs, we didn't know it was you. Please show mercy and let us go..."

At this moment, the fat man and Huang Mao were kneeling in the center of the bar, desperately begging for mercy.

Han Sanqiang, Man Niu, and others were surrounding them, waiting for Qin Lang's instructions.

"Brother Qin, we admit our mistake! And we haven't touched your things at all." The fat man pleaded desperately, "By the way, our 'Iron Centipede Gang' has connections with the gangs along the way, and we've even given 'gifts.' You must give us a way out, right?"

"Hmm? I'm also puzzled about this." Qin Lang said to Han Sanqiang, "Now, this area around the train station is our territory. Have these guys really given 'gifts' to you on the train?"

In Qin Lang's view, if Han Sanqiang or Man Niu had taken any benefits from them, he wouldn't be too harsh on them.

"Damn! This is a damn lie!" Han Sanqiang cursed, to show that he hadn't taken money from others behind Qin Lang's back.

Man Niu also cursed loudly to show his loyalty.

"Kids, who did you give money to?" Han Sanqiang asked directly.

"We used to give money to Brother Sang Kun—"

"Sang Kun, he's already in prison!" Han Sanqiang said coldly, "Did you give money to a prisoner?"

"No, that was in the past. Now, we've given money to An Yang! He promised to ensure that our business on the Xiaoyang City line wouldn't be affected." The fat man quickly explained.

"An Yang?"

Qin Lang turned his gaze to Han Sanqiang, whose expression became strange, "Brother Qin, An Yang is an outsider, but he's very tough! As you know, we have the largest influence in the southern and eastern parts of the city, basically making it our territory; but the western and northern parts of Xiaoyang City have been quickly consolidated by An Yang, an outsider. Now, it's basically his territory."

"An outsider?" Qin Lang was slightly surprised, "He controlled the southern and eastern parts of the city in such a short time?"

Han Sanqiang and Man Niu also found it strange, as they had only managed to defeat Sang Kun and become the leaders of the southern and eastern parts of the city after joining forces, and they still hadn't completely taken over those areas. But An Yang had become the leader of the western and northern parts of the city in an extremely short time, which showed how ruthless he was.

But Han Sanqiang thought Qin Lang was blaming him for not being effective, so he quickly explained, "Brother Qin, we actually wanted to seize the territory as soon as possible. However, you instructed us not to rush, and to wait until the company was cleaned up before taking further action..."

"A Qiang, I'm not blaming you," Qin Lang said, "But, knowing your enemy is key to victory. This An Yang is quite arrogant. This train station area is clearly under our control, yet the 'Iron Centipede Gang' has established a relationship with An Yang and hasn't shown us any respect. This is quite intriguing!"

"Brother Qin, actually... I've heard some things about An Yang and will report to you later. What do you plan to do with these two?" Man Niu asked Qin Lang. Now, Man Niu was truly and wholeheartedly admiring Qin Lang, partly because of Qin Lang's martial arts skills, and partly because of the methods he used against An Desheng and Sang Kun, which made Man Niu tremble with fear.

"These two?" Qin Lang stared at the fat man and Huang Mao, making them feel uneasy.

The fat man quickly said, "Brother Qin, we're all in the same line of work. At least give us some face. After we return, I will definitely tell the big bosses in our gang that from now on, the 'gifts' for Xiaoyang City will be sent to you. Brother Qin, please show mercy and cure us of this poison. We really can't take it anymore."

"Cure you, huh?" Qin Lang sneered, "You gave your 'gifts' to the wrong people. Go find whoever took your money—"

"Brother Qin... please!" Huang Mao begged.

"Get out! It's already a favor that I'm not cutting off your hands!" Qin Lang coldly snorted.

Han Sanqiang quickly ordered someone to throw the fat man and Huang Mao out.

In fact, Qin Lang was just giving the fat man and Huang Mao a severe lesson. Their hands wouldn't be crippled, but they would definitely suffer. After all, they had the audacity to do business on Qin Lang's turf.

After the fat man and Huang Mao were thrown out, Man Niu said to Qin Lang, "Brother Qin, I heard that An Yang is ruthless, even more so than Sang Kun! 'A Hao' in the western part of the city was personally killed by An Yang, and he was dismembered with a chainsaw in front of A Hao's brothers! The small gangs in the western and northern parts of the city have all submitted to him out of fear of his brutality!"

"Oh, indeed a tough character!" Qin Lang said calmly, "This guy is called An Yang, and he also has the surname An. I wonder if he has any connection to An Desheng?"

"This... I'm not sure." Man Niu shook his head.

"Not sure? Go and find out quickly." Qin Lang said to Man Niu and Han Sanqiang, "I did tell you to be steady and not to rush into expansion. But that doesn't mean you should be complacent. Are your ambitions so limited that you're satisfied with just the southern and eastern parts of Xiaoyang City?"

Han Sanqiang and Man Niu sensed the dissatisfaction in Qin Lang's tone and were drenched in cold sweat.

Since Qin Lang single-handedly eliminated An Desheng, Han Sanqiang and Man Niu had become even more respectful of him. However, after taking over Sang Kun's territory, they had become somewhat complacent. Hearing the dissatisfaction in Qin Lang's tone, Han Sanqiang and Man Niu tried to explain, but Qin Lang didn't give them the chance: "Find out everything about An Yang and report back to me as soon as possible!"

After that, Qin Lang left the bar and returned to school.

When Qin Lang returned to the dormitory, Zhao Kan immediately found him and asked if he had read the plan.

It was clear that Zhao Kan was quite enthusiastic.

"I've read it," Qin Lang nodded and then repeated Luo Bin's previous comments.

After hearing Qin Lang's comments, Zhao Kan said awkwardly, "The format of the plan was indeed a template I found online. But I put a lot of effort into it and even consulted my father."

"I didn't say your plan was bad," Qin Lang smiled, "It just needs to be more comprehensive. So, I asked someone to help me improve it."

"Who?"

"Luo Bin."

"What? She's a bookworm, I doubt she can handle this." Zhao Kan seemed to doubt Luo Bin's extracurricular abilities.

"Heh... The comments I just made, most of them actually came from Luo Bin." Qin Lang smiled slyly.

Zhao Kan was speechless.
