Chapter 321: Who’s Playing with Who?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

When this guy tried to make a dashing pose, it would make everyone feel ashamed.

His exquisite features, his pair of affectionate looking eyes… Every time he looked at people, it felt as though he was full of feelings…

It was a pity, for Bai Muchuan would not be seduced.

Quan Shaoteng: “D*rn! You’re saying that I’m a goose?”

Bai Muchuan showed an expression—”go figure yourself”. Then he turned to everyone. “Brothers, perk up! There will be a tough fight later on. From the looks of it, we’re going to stay in this forest for a good while…”

“For a good while—” This was said to ease their minds.

All of them somehow knew that “a good while” was not enough to complete their mission.

Hence, this time, they were well-prepared for dangers they could be in.

Adequate equipment, rations, and even explosives…

Everyone was carrying the maximum amount of supplies they could carry.

Bai Muchuan and his men kept searching for Brother Steel.

In actual fact, Brother Steel and his lackeys were really hiding in Vulture’s Mouth.

It was just that under the same sky, with the protection of the optical illusion of making the police go around in circles, it was not an easy feat to locate their base.

In a spot in the forest.

Through a secret door designed with high technology, it was the Dark Clan’s stronghold hidden in Vulture’s Mouth.

For a long time, the Dark Clan had hoarded a lot of supplies here. Due to the tricky geographical conditions, this place had escaped the tracking of the police numerous times.

Brother Steel’s position in the Dark Clan, if put crudely, was just a “Senior Warehouse Keeper”.

His basic responsibilities were simply to guard their goods and protect their base.

After successfully shaking off Bai Muchuan, Brother Steel led his men back to the stronghold. They started to feel agitated after enduring several hours of anxiety and uneasiness.

“D*mn, they managed to save Xie Wanwan and found the way out via the lake. Now that they’ve got out… they’re still not satisfied. Why did they have to come back here again? Are these police sick or something? Shouldn’t they stop for their own good!?”

This was not what they had expected initially.

“This Bai Muchuan is like a mad dog, he simply refuses to let me off!”

As Brother Steel cussed, he paced around the room restlessly.

“I must have been too unlucky to actually encountered this mad dog!”

Nobody wanted to go head-on against the police.

Bai Muchuan and his men had followed them for a day and a night. It was certainly tough, but Brother Steel and his lackeys did not have it easy either.

Brother Steel even felt that this must be the unluckiest period in his life!

Initially, he had thought this small group of police officers could easily be taken out as he had the advantage of numbers. Yet, one after another, he suffered casualties whereas the police did not lose any men.

People whom he had thought he could easily shake off were actually following them like their tail.

In the end, he had to resort to making use of Xie Wanwan to lure those police over to the lake—

Once again, he thought that he could finally get rid of all these police. Yet, the explosion could still not take them out. Not only that, they even found the way out of Vulture’s Mouth.

Fine then, since they managed to get out, they shouldn’t be coming back here again?

In the end…

Bai Muchuan did send away those sick and injured personnel. But he brought more people back to the forest for the purpose of rounding them all up!

Brother Steel’s frustrations were written all over his face. His triangular-shaped eyes were full of murderous intent no matter who he looked at, as though he wanted a piece of everyone.

“Liang! Liang!” he shouted and a person came into the room.

It was not Liang, but another of his men. “Brother Steel, Brother Liang is not around. He went out…”

Brother Steel’s face was black as thunder. “You’ll go then! Watch a close watch at them. The moment you noticed Bai Muchuan nearing our base, report back immediately!”

“All of us are keeping watch! Don’t worry.”

“How can I not worry! You bunch of good-for-nothings.”

Brother Steel took out his anger on his men. Seeing that they did not retort him, he got frustrated and waved his hand.

“Just scram, scram! Don’t stay here and provoke me!”

His subordinate quickly left the room.

Brother Steel sat restlessly on a chair before turning slowly to look at Huang He. His gaze was still murderous as ever.

“Do you think this Bai Muchuan has gone out of his mind?”

Huang He took his time to answer. “Why do you say that?”

“He can leave yet he chose to come back here to seek his own death?” Brother Steel snorted coldly, “If he’s not crazy, then what is he?”

Huang He took a look at him expressionlessly. “Well, he’s the police, he has to come even if he’s afraid of death.”

Brother Steel snorted in displeasure as he looked at him gloomily. “You used to be a detective, too. Why didn’t you have this annoying trait as him?”

This sounded simple yet the motive behind this was not pure.

Huang He took a look at him. “You’re wrong,” he sounded casual, “I used to be as annoying as him as well!”

Brother Steel: “…”

Watching his face turning grim, Huang He sneered again. “Well, I’m not a detective now. Ever since the police fired me, I’m cured of this trait!”

Hur!

Brother Steel scrutinized him dubiously. Although his expression was still displeased, he was still wearing a smile.

“Seems like you still miss being part of the police force.”

“Where did this come from?”

“Didn’t all those dramas say that? The deeper the hatred, the deeper the love.”

“…”

A corner of Huang He’s lips lifted in sarcasm. “I never watch dramas.”

Brother Steel swept a glance, wearing a half-smile.

This person, the “Crown Prince” before him now, was the person whom Brother Six had recommended when he was still alive. He was here in Nanmu for business and had the support of the remaining men of Brother Six in Jin City. As Brother Steel was not really clear about his current influence, he would treat him politely.

Pausing for a moment, he picked up the teacup on the table.

“You used to be friends with him?” he asked slowly.

“That depends on how far back you’re referring to,” Huang He replied lazily.

He did not like to reply directly but returned a question instead.

Brother Steel snorted inside his head. He blew on the surface of the teacup filled with hot tea.

“Well, only you would know, right?” He asked the question casually as if this was just some small talk. “When are you friends with him? And when did you two become enemies?”

Huang He did not admit nor deny it. “We can’t really be considered friends. We are colleagues but never friends.”

Huang He chuckled when he saw the look of disbelief on Brother Steel’s face. “You don’t understand Bai Muchuan. He thinks very highly of himself that not just anyone can get a chance to be friends with him… Even when he said we’re his brothers and friends, in his mind… Hurhur, he certainly did not mean it in his heart.”

“He’s so arrogant?” Brother Steel snorted coldly, “So what if his ass is up in the air? He still got played around by me?”

This man had forgotten about the earlier frustrations and started to boast.

Huang He did not expose him, either. “There was a period where I thought that I’m his friend.” He said without much emotion, “And guess what, I got framed by him.”

Brother Steel got interested in the topic and shifted his chair closer to Huang He. “How did he frame you?”

Huang He: “That night, he invited me for a drink. Later on, a mission cropped up and as I had drank wine, I got charged for serious malfeasance of duty, got sent to the detention center, and had my career as a detective ruined…”

In fact, Brother Steel had checked this out long ago.

At that time, the case of the fountain goddess had hogged trending news for a long period and there were all kinds of versions with details on the internet. As long as one was interested, one could get a lot of details about the case.

He was curious why Huang He had told him something like this so truthfully.

“One shouldn’t befriend people who frame their brothers!” Brother Steel took a sip of his tea and gave a conclusion.

Huang He glanced at him and did not deny that. He also took a sip of his tea.

“However, when Bai Muchuan tried to make contact with me, he had used your nick ‘Crown Prince’…” Brother Steel suddenly raised another topic and stared at Huang He. “By right,” he said, wearing a chilly smile, “this should be a secret. An outsider like him shouldn’t have known about your nick? Yet what happened was that he seemed to know everything about you as he tried to prove he is ‘Crown Prince’ before me. How do you explain this?”

Huang He was as cool as a cucumber. “What do you think?”

Brother Steel’s expression changed. “…”

D*rn! I’m asking you! Brother Steel cussed inside his head.

“Hmph!” Huang He pursed his lips. “He’s the police. There’s nothing he won’t find out if he wanted to know something?”

It’s these words again!

For the past two days, he had heard too much of these.

When he heard the word “police”, his scalp actually felt numb!

Brother Steel was irritated as he looked at Huang He. “What’s so great about the police? They’re also bleeping made of flesh and blood just like us!”

Huang He still had the same expression. “Although I’m no longer the police, I do not like it when people looked down on the police—”

As he said so, Huang He’s gaze suddenly felt sharp. When he looked at Brother Steel, he also showed a cold smile. “This is because people who did that, are going to suffer. Brother Six is one such example.”

Brother Six—Zhou Dequan—was well-known for his powerful backing as well as his contempt for the police.

He was a man who was so brazen and presumptuous that he had done many things that many did not dare to.

Even if it was Brother Steel, he knew very well that Zhou Dequan was definitely bold, even bolder than him.

Hence, Huang He’s words actually made his back felt chilly. He did not feel that he was being despised by Huang He. Instead, he felt that Huang He was more honest and practical than Zhou Dequan.

Zhou Dequan was always smiling, but behind his smiles, he was up to no good.

Huang He did not smile much but… Brother Steel could somehow feel as though he was sincere in what he had said.

“How straightforward! Brother Crown Prince is right!”

Brother Steel cackled. “We’re just people who are after the money. Why would I want to go head-on with the police if they didn’t come after me?”

After a short pause, he suddenly calmed down and turned to Huang He.

“Yesterday you were saying that… you have no choice. What’s going on?”

Brother Steel had remembered the short conversation between Bai Muchuan and Huang He at his villa yesterday when they met.

As the doubts were not cleared, Brother Steel was wary of Huang He.

“Just as what you’ve heard,” Huang He gave a bitter smile. “I’m here because I’m being forced to.”

Brother Steel was obviously puzzled. “What happened?”

Huang He puffed a sigh, took his teacup, and stroked it gently. “It’s not easy to be in this line of business. You’ve said so earlier, who would want to go head-on with the police if they’re not being forced to? Why would I rush to Nanmu just to expose him if I had a choice?”
