Chapter 44: 44: A Lesson, Xu Mulin's Trouble!
At this moment, Chong was breaking out in a cold sweat, beads of perspiration rolling down his forehead.
As a minor big brother, it wasn't easy for him to carve out a territory in Jiangcheng.
The most important thing was to have sharp eyes!
He had seen all six of Jiangcheng's underground overlords, the dragon and the two tigers, the three despots.
Even though the other party did not recognize him, he knew who they were.
So, the moment he saw Xu Tianlong appear, he knew trouble was coming! To someone like him, a small fry in front of Xu Tianlong, he was less than an ant, how could he dare to be so brash?
Xu Tianlong stared at Chong, raised his hand, and slapped him across the face!
"Smack!"
Chong was sent sprawling to the ground, blood leaking from the corner of his mouth. He scrambled to his feet, then immediately kneeled in front of Xu Tianlong!
"Lord Long, spare my life, oh Lord Long..." Chong trembled with fear, "I was just blind, I didn't know this little brother was acquainted with you!"
If he truly angered this lord, his life would not be spared, begging for mercy was his only chance to survive!
Seeing that their boss had knelt down, his underlings also dropped to their knees one after another.
Xu Tianlong swept them with a cold glance, then approached Qin Jiang, "Mr. Qin, how should these people be dealt with?"
Qin Jiang spoke indifferently, "They framed me, according to the rules of the underworld, how should this be settled?"
"Sever the tendons in one leg!"
"Smash all their teeth so they can't speak ever again!" Xu Tianlong said respectfully.
"Then let's follow the rules of the underworld," said Qin Jiang expressionlessly.
Xu Tianlong waved his hand, and several men bristling with murderous intent stepped forward!
Accompanied by screams, Chong and his gang had all their teeth smashed, their mouths full of blood, nearly fainting from the pain, their tendons completely severed.
"Take them away, don't leave them here to offend Mr. Qin's eyes!"
Xu Tianlong ordered, and his men quickly dragged Chong and the others away from the scene!
Xu Tianlong took steps towards Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao's legs went weak with fright, and he retreated step by step, trembling all over.
"I'll tell you, I'm the eldest young master of the Qin Family! Have you heard of the Qin Family of Jiangcheng?"
Xu Tianlong sneered, "The Qin Family? Even if the Family Head of the Qin Family comes, he would have to prostrate himself before me! I am the Dragon Gate Sect Master! Didn't you say you knew me? Why are you so afraid of me?"
"The Dragon Gate Sect Master?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao was terrified, almost to the point of wetting his pants.
"Smack!"
Xu Tianlong stepped forward and gave him a harsh slap.
"You said you'd make me, Xu Tianlong, stand down? Do you think you're worthy?"
"Smack! Smack! Smack!" A series of slaps landed, and Qin Xiao's face was split open, turned into a pig's head, grimacing in pain!
Xu Muge and the others were astonished. It seemed that the person who helped resolve the issue for Xu Muge wasn't Qin Xiao! Then, was it Xu Tianlong who had given face to Qin Jiang, and that's how the matter was settled?
After several slaps, Qin Xiao begged pitifully, "Lord Long, I was wrong, I shouldn't have used your name to show off outside! I know I was wrong!"
Xu Shilong turned his head to glance at Qin Jiang, seeming to inquire how he wanted to handle the situation.
Qin Jiang said dispassionately, "Let him roll!"
"Scram—" Xu Shilong kicked Qin Xiao, "Remember! It's Mr. Qin who let you leave today! Otherwise, I, Xu Tianlong, could make you disappear without a trace in a matter of minutes!"
Qin Xiao was terrified out of his wits, scrambling to his feet and hastily driving away.
"Qin Jiang!"
"You bitch! You actually invited Lord Long to screw me over! Damn you!"
He gritted his teeth in anger.
He had prepared a lot for today, hoping to take this opportunity to win over Xu Muge's heart, but not only did he fail to achieve his goal, he was swindled, got a beating, and lost all face.
He was almost mad with rage!
All of this was because of Qin Jiang! He would get his revenge for this humiliation sooner or later!
After helping Qin Jiang resolve the situation, Xu Tianlong also left the place with a few of his underlings.
Xu Muge's face was full of disbelief. "Qin Jiang, since when did you get to know the Sect Master of Dragon Gate? And... he seemed to be quite polite to you?"
Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Dragon Gate is now subservient to me!"
"Subservient to you?" Xu Muge was taken aback and then frowned accusingly at him. "Can you be serious? Although I don't know how you made peace with them, you should limit your interactions with these underground forces, you hear? Otherwise, if something goes wrong and you go to prison again, I won't help you!"
Qin Jiang felt a bit helpless. "You don't believe me?"
"I don't! Dragon Gate is the top underground force in Jiangcheng, how could they be easily subdued? I'm afraid they have ulterior motives! No matter what, just keep your distance from them!" Xu Muge earnestly urged.
What leverage does Qin Jiang have to subdue them?
Maybe they're plotting something sinister.
One must always be wary of others!
"Alright." Although Xu Muge didn't believe him, the concern in her tone still warmed Qin Jiang's heart.
Liu Ya also disdainfully said, "I can't believe you're associating with these people, it's ridiculous. What's the use of such social riffraff? Do you really think a few minions make you impressive?"
At that moment, Xu Mulin suddenly received a phone call, his face gradually turning ashen.
"Dad, Mom, something has come up at my shop, and I need to go back right away. You two head home first."
"Something happened?" The Xu Family couple looked worried.
Xu Mulin forced a smile. "I can handle it myself, don't worry!"
Qin Jiang said, "I'll go with you to check it out!"
Xu Mulin dismissed the offer, "No need, this matter doesn't need your intervention, and you can't handle it."
"You might handle these turf hooligans, but my shop has attracted the patrol officers, and you won't be able to do anything. Don't think you're invincible just because you know a few people!"
Hearing this, Qin Jiang simply smiled lightly, "Maybe I really can resolve it?"
Xu Mulin wanted to refuse, but Xu Muge spoke up, "Let Qin Jiang go with you!"

With his sister saying so, Xu Mulin could only nod. The two hailed a cab and went straight to the shop.
Xu Mulin lamented, "It's really inconvenient without a car, always having to hail a taxi, such a hassle."
Qin Jiang suggested, "Why not buy one?"
Xu Mulin sighed, "You think it's that easy just to buy one?"
Qin Jiang teased him, "Okay then, call me brother-in-law, and I'll gift you a nice car."
"In your dreams!" Xu Mulin snorted coldly.
"Back then you made my sister suffer so much, and because she has a soft and kind heart, she doesn't hold it against you! But I won't forgive you that easily; don't think that by doing a few things, you can earn my forgiveness!"
At that moment, there were many cars parked in front of the restaurant.
Many people were gathered together, talking animatedly!
Xu Mulin quickly pushed through the crowd and squeezed inside, with Qin Jiang following behind him.
The customers angrily stared at the two men, pointing and gesturing at Xu Mulin.
"So, he is the unscrupulous owner!"
"Despicable!"
"Food poisoning, frothing at the mouth, that's scary. They could have died, right?"
"Who would dare eat here in the future!"
Who would dare to eat here in the future? Who knows if the next victim could be themselves?
Xu Mulin's face went pale!
It had been tough, but after one or two months of effort, his business had started to pick up! However, now, an incident in his restaurant put him at risk of going to prison if he wasn't careful!
But his sanitary standards were very strict, how could the customers have gotten food poisoning?
Just then, a middle-aged man, accompanied by several patrol officers, entered the restaurant with an imposing manner.
"Comrades, this guy's restaurant frequently has problems, and who knows whether the food hygiene is up to standard. This kind of harmful business can't be allowed to continue harming people!"
Xu Mulin retorted angrily, "Stop talking nonsense!"
He was furious, gritting his teeth. This middle-aged man, named Wang Huai, was a competitor who had a shop next to his and had not stopped causing troubles for him!
The patrol officers, with stern faces, commanded, "Please come with us immediately, and this restaurant needs to be sealed off. The business will be suspended for a while during the investigation!"
