Chapter 397 Maybe we should just kill him!
Lu Yangyang never expected to see Mingruo here!
She opened her mouth to ask Mingruo why she was there and what her connection was with the Salt Gang, but her throat was terribly sore from the smoke. She'd been so focused on escaping that she hadn't noticed, but now, as soon as she opened her mouth, she started coughing violently.
"Cough cough cough cough cough cough!"
Lu Yangyang almost coughed up her lungs; her eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't utter a single word.
Mingruo stood anxiously in front of her, reaching out to help her, but Sheng Junyi beat her to it, slapping her on the back. Lu Yangyang felt as if the breath she had choked out had been expelled by the slap, and after coughing a few more times, she felt much better.
She closed her mouth, her eyes filled with misty tears from choking.
His face was covered in cigarette ash and a damp cloth, making him look like a big cat, and his hair was a complete mess.
Just then, the young man who had come with Mingruo turned around, glanced at her, and clicked his tongue softly.
"Mingruo, is this the girl you rushed here to find? She's so ugly! Your taste is terrible. I'll introduce you to a pretty one another day!"
Lu Yangyang frowned. Who is this person?
"Chief Lin, if you don't want your tongue, I'll take care of it for you." Sheng Junyi's sharp longsword, still dripping with blood, was already pressed against the young man's lips.
“Brother Lin, Miss Lu saved my life, so please be careful with your words,” Mingruo said coldly, her face darkening.
Lin Wuji, the leader of the Salt Gang, did not expect that these two people would be so protective of their own. He hurriedly raised his hand and used his fingers to pry open Sheng Junyi's sword tip. His phoenix eyes curved into a smile: "Brother Junyi, Brother Ming, I was just joking. Swords have no eyes. Brother Junyi, please don't take it to heart."
Sheng Junyi said calmly, "Apologize."
Seeing how serious he was, Lin Wuji also gave him face and looked at Lu Yangyang.
Before she could even speak, Lu Yangyang, who had already recovered, blurted out, "You're the leader of the Salt Gang?"
Lin Wuji blinked: "I, Lin, am but a humble person..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Yangyang stepped forward, grabbed the sword from Sheng Junyi's hand, and thrust it diagonally, placing it directly against Lin Wuji's neck: "So it was you who, for no reason, turned out to be a heartless person, using an elderly and innocent man as a threat to force Uncle Luo to submit. It was you who condoned your subordinates running illegal casinos and colluding with beggars to traffic women and children! It wasn't enough that your Salt Gang colluded with those corrupt officials to sell smuggled salt; you even preyed on the elderly, children, and women, using the Salt Gang's power to commit all sorts of evil deeds, setting up private prisons, and abusing your power. Do you think no one in this world can control you? You have the nerve to call me ugly? You've raised a bunch of heartless bastards, and you still have the nerve to call me ugly?"
Lu Yangyang's voice was still a little hoarse, but her tone was exceptionally sharp, and her eyes were full of anger!
Lu Yangyang was truly furious!
After hearing what Xiao Qi said, she thought that the leader of the Salt Gang was a kind and righteous person. But this was the kind and righteous person's job and the way he managed his subordinates!
Even if the casino and human trafficking were done by that so-called deputy gang leader, weren't the dungeon incident and the use of innocent old people to threaten Luo Jing all at his behest?
That's utterly despicable!
Lin Wuji's face immediately darkened.
He stared intently at Lu Yangyang, whose face was blurred and unrecognizable, but her eyes were exceptionally bright and sharp, even more so than the sword she held in her hand!
Lin Wuji was so angry he laughed. He had seen all kinds of people over the years, yet he was being verbally abused by such a young girl!
“Treat me? You? Do you think you can kill me now? Even if you could kill me, could you even get out of here?” Lin Wuji stared intently at her.
Lu Yangyang met his gaze without fear, her voice still sharp and resolute: "I can't kill you, but you can't kill me today either. Just you wait, I'll settle this score with you and your Salt Gang one day!"
Lu Yangyang didn't care about the rules of the Salt Gang, or what kind of people they were. What she couldn't tolerate most in her life was the trafficking of innocent people and the use of despicable means to bully the weak. It was shameless!
This was the first time in Lin Wuji's life that someone had spoken to him like that.
It's not about killing him, it's about wiping out his Salt Gang! And they're all little girls who don't even reach his shoulder!
That's interesting, really interesting!
The two locked eyes, as if they had met their mortal enemies. Sparks flew, and neither was willing to back down, so they remained locked in a stalemate.
Mingruo spoke up to explain for Lin Wuji: "Miss Lu, you may have some misunderstanding about Brother Lin. Over the years, Brother Lin has been committed to reforming the Salt Gang and has established rules to never get involved in bullying the weak. He has even helped many homeless orphans. I am an old acquaintance of his and can vouch for his character. This was definitely not his doing."
"Not his doing? You dare say that the capture of an innocent old man, Meng, to force Uncle Luo to submit, and the drugging and torture by his men, wasn't his doing either?" Lu Yangyang retorted directly.
Lin Wuji was not to be outdone: "Boss Luo, you've ruined our Salt Gang's business. So many people in our Salt Gang are watching. It's not too much for me to invite you here to beat you up, is it?"
"I'd be so angry!" Lu Yangyang was furious. She swung the long sword that was against Lin Wuji's neck away and, taking advantage of Lin Wuji's distraction, stomped on Lin Wuji's foot, causing Lin Wuji's face to contort in pain.
Lu Yangyang cursed, "You want to cause trouble for Uncle Luo? You go and make things difficult for an old man who has nothing to do with this. You think you're not dirty-minded? Bah!"
"Furthermore, even if you didn't commit the human trafficking, as the gang leader, you couldn't control your subordinates, allowing them to run rampant. You drugged me and then threw me into the clutches of these gambling addicts to teach me a lesson. When that didn't work, you set fire to the entire dungeon, intending to burn everyone to death. Is this how you judge people? Whether I deserve to die or those people deserve to die, why should you be the one to judge me!"
Lu Yangyang usually prefers to take action rather than utter a single word.
But today she was really angry. This damn salt gang leader, he's so sanctimonious, and he even has the nerve to call her ugly. What does it matter to him whether she's ugly or not! Why doesn't he take a look at himself in the mirror!
Sheng Junyi initially remained silent as she hurled insults, but when he heard her say that those people had drugged her, given her to a gambling addict, and planned to burn down the dungeon, his beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. He took his sword from Lu Yangyang's hand, pointed it at Lin Wuji's brow, and said casually, "So despicable, why don't we just kill him!"
Lin Wuji: "..."
