The main thing is to make money, and the rest is just a matter of convenience.

Chapter 510 Joe 4

Seeing that almost all of his men had fallen, the second brother realized what was happening and shouted:

"Stop! Don't fire anymore!"

As the second brother's shout faded, the gunfire ceased, and people lay scattered on the ground, including the second brother himself.

"Ninth Master, I was blind to your greatness and didn't realize you were such a sage. Everything can be discussed. Please feel free to make any requests you may have."

Second Brother's change of heart was as fast as flipping through a book; nothing could be faster. Hua Yan truly admired this person; he was flexible and adaptable, giving others no time to react.

"Second Brother, I want to see your boss, is his name Qiao Si? Tell him to come see me as soon as possible."

Hua Yan thought back to her past life when she was part of this criminal gang that not only harmed the people of Heilongjiang Province, but also gave Heilongjiang Province a bad reputation for murder and arson throughout the country. Now that she had encountered them again, she would restore peace to this black land!

"This……"

The second brother hesitated. He had seen how powerful Hua Yan was, but the eldest brother hadn't.

Qiao Si is a big shot in Heilongjiang Province; how could he possibly come to see some nobody? That's just wishful thinking.

But he couldn't tell Hua Yan, because his and his brothers' lives were in this girl's hands.

"To be honest, call him now. I'll only wait an hour. If he doesn't come in an hour, you can send him a message in your dreams!"

Hua Yan's eyes flashed with a fierce light, leaving no room for negotiation.

The second brother knew that his life was now in someone else's hands, and he fully understood what it meant to be powerless and at the mercy of others.

With a look of utter disgust, the second brother took out his phone and made a call.

After talking for about ten minutes, the second brother finally made it clear that the other side had probably agreed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Hua Yan heard everything her second brother said clearly; he described her as someone unpredictable and mysterious.

Haha! That's not wrong. In their eyes, Hua Yan is indeed someone who cannot be explained by common sense.

"Ninth Master, the eldest brother said he'd be here in two hours, but he lives quite far away and can't make it in an hour."

The second brother's face was full of pleading, worried that Hua Yan wouldn't agree.

“I said one hour, and it’s one hour. After one hour, I’ll chop off one of your hands every ten minutes.”

"Hmph! You dare shoot my men? I'll make sure you remember this: you'll never hold a gun again!"

Hua Yan had an expression that said, "There's no room for negotiation."

Haha! You can't act like you're easy to talk to, otherwise they'll take advantage of you.

This time, without Hua Yan urging him, the second brother picked up the phone again.

"Start the timer now, I won't wait even a minute longer."

Hua Yan raised her wrist and glanced at her watch.

At this moment, beads of cold sweat dripped down the second brother's forehead. What should have been a single sentence took him a full minute to finish.

Fifty-eight minutes later

A car sped over, and in the blink of an eye, it was right in front of us, even though we were still a long way off.

He started braking in front of Hua Yan, but it took more than 50 meters to stop.

With a loud bang, the car door was opened, and a man in his forties got out, looking furious.

"Er Biao, let me see, who is this Ninth Master who dared to kill my brother?"

The speaker was a refined-looking man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, the back of which gave his eyes an unfathomable depth. His complexion was sickly pale, lacking the inherent domineering air of a typical Northeasterner, yet he exuded a chilling fear. He was clearly furious, but his words were spoken with an air of nonchalance.

Ha! Is this what they call a "refined scoundrel"?

Hua Yan had expected to see a burly, dark-skinned, and fierce-looking man—that's what gangsters usually look like, right? But instead, she saw a handsome, refined-looking guy.

"Fourth Brother, this is Ninth Master."

It turned out that the second brother's name was Er Biao. He pointed to Hua Yan and introduced her to the fourth brother.

"Hehe! Ninth Master, it's a pleasure to meet you for the first time. I'm Qiao Fei, everyone calls me Fourth Brother."

Qiao Fei strode towards Hua Yan. Er Biao had told him that Ninth Master was a little girl, but he hadn't expected her to be such a young girl.

"Joe..., Fourth..., Uncle, you really are better off seeing me than hearing about you. You've really impressed me."

Hua Yan wasn't sure whether to call him Qiao Fei or Fourth Brother, so she ended up calling him Uncle. But it sounded like she was calling him "Uncle Qiao the Fourth."

"Haha! As expected, heroes emerge from among the young. I didn't expect Ninth Master to be so young."

Qiao Fei stopped in front of Hua Yan, his eyes full of inquiry.

"Uncle Qiao, you flatter me. Now that you're here, let's be frank and speak openly. I'd like to know how you intend to resolve this matter."

Hua Yan didn't stand on ceremony and got straight to the point.

“How does Ninth Master want to resolve this matter? We’re not targeting you personally. We’ll charge every vehicle that transports goods on this road, without exception.”

Although Qiao Fei's attitude was mild, anyone could tell that he was very angry, otherwise he wouldn't have driven the car like that.

If Er Biao hadn't told him that his brother's shots had hit his own men, he wouldn't have paid any attention to it, let alone come to see Hua Yan.

Although he was a triad boss, he was also a cultured one. He knew that the people could support him but also capsize him, and he couldn't let his men down.

"You set the rules yourselves, they have nothing to do with me. The road was built by the government, it's my right to walk on it, I haven't violated any laws or regulations. You want money from me? No way. If my car has any problems in this area in the future, I won't go after anyone else, I'll go after you."

Haha! Hua Yan's words were full of provocation.

"Haha! I, Qiao Si, have been in Heilongjiang Province for so many years, and I've never met anyone who dares to talk to me like this. Ninth Master is the first."

"May I ask who's behind Ninth Master? Let's not get into a misunderstanding where the flood washes over the Dragon King's temple."

When Qiao Fei saw that Hua Yan was so assertive, he guessed that there must be someone behind her, otherwise she wouldn't be acting like this.

"I have no one behind me; my support is myself."

"Haha! Since that's the case, don't blame me for not giving Ninth Master any face."

As he spoke, Qiao Fei raised his gun and fired, aiming it directly at Hua Yan's head.

No one reacted in time, as if they had been frozen in place.

With her current eyesight, Hua Yan saw the bullets Qiao Si fired as if in slow motion; with a flick of her hand, the bullets were gone. Then, with a flick of her finger, a pill entered Qiao Si's open mouth.

Because of the sheer speed, it all happened in an instant. Not only did no one react in time, but even Qiao Si was completely bewildered. He did pull the trigger, but where did the bullet go?

"Nonsence!"

Qiao Si felt something enter his mouth and instinctively spat it out.

Hua Yan gave a disdainful smile.

She had previously set up a small barrier for the three of them, so when Qiao Si fired the gun, although the three of them reacted a beat too slowly, they still made a subconscious protective movement, but it seemed that they were blocked by something invisible.

Seeing that Hua Yan was unharmed, Shi Ba and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Although they didn't see how Hua Yan dodged the bullet, the bullet had indeed been fired.

"No need to vomit, that's poison I'm giving you. Enjoy the pain it brings!"

Hua Yan's lips curled up, a mocking smile undisguised on her face.

Upon hearing that it was poison, Qiao Si began to induce vomiting, and his previously calm and arrogant demeanor vanished.

It wasn't that he didn't want to remain calm; it was that he was already feeling the pain.

Haha! That's poison that melts in your mouth, how could you possibly spit it out? That's just wishful thinking.
