Chapter 195 The Meishan Family
Upon hearing Gu Shaoan's words, Gu Santong's expression turned suspicious.

"Kid, do you know this Ghost Hand Gang?"

Gu Shaoan nodded in acknowledgment, then stepped forward and squatted down in front of the man with a mole on his left eye. He first took the man's pulse to check his condition, and then focused his energy on pressing an acupoint on the man's finger.

Just as Gu Shaoan's fingers landed on the man, the man who had been unconscious on the ground suddenly trembled and then sat up abruptly, clearly being forcibly awakened by the extreme pain.

However, before the man could even let out a scream, Gu Shaoan raised his right hand and grabbed the man's neck.

The slight pressure from the five fingers instantly turned the man's face bright red, and the scream that was about to escape his lips was forcibly suppressed.

"I will ask, you will answer, and then I will ask another person. If your answers do not match even slightly, I can make you wish you were dead."

Looking at Gu Shaoan, whose tone was icy, the man nodded with some difficulty.

Seeing this, Gu Shaoan loosened his grip on the man slightly.

"Are you from the Ghost Hand Gang?"

When asked by Gu Shaoan, the man nodded quickly and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Yes, that's me."

"Is there a Ghost Hand Gang stronghold in Gushan City?"

"Yes, it's in the winery on Old Tree Street in the west of the city."

"Shouldn't your Ghost Hand Gang have been operating around Linjiang Town before? Why have you come to Gushan City?"

However, when Gu Shaoan asked the question, the man in front of him looked surprised and said, "What Linjiang Town? I've never been there!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shaoan frowned slightly.

"What kind of shady business do you Ghost Hand Gang members do in Gushan City on a regular basis?"

The man replied, "I just look around for rich people, see if there are any easy targets, then drug them and steal their money."

Gu Shaoan snorted coldly: "Liar. Since you're from the Ghost Hand Gang, how could you not know anything?"

After saying that, Gu Shaoan began to exert force with the five fingers of his right hand again.

Feeling the pressure gradually rising on his neck, the man hurriedly said, "Great hero, spare me! Great hero, spare me! Everything I said is true! I've only been a member of the Ghost Hand Gang for half a year. I usually just do some petty theft with a few brothers and keep watch to see if there are any pretty girls in the city. I really don't know anything else."

Gu Shaoan asked, "From what you're saying, you're doing things differently from the other Ghost Hand Gang members?"

The latter nodded repeatedly: "There are about a hundred brothers in the gang, but I heard from the brothers that after joining the Ghost Hand Gang, you have to be observed for a year before you have a chance to be given an important position by the gang leader. I don't know exactly what the brothers in the gang do on a daily basis!"

Looking at the man in front of him, whose face was full of panic and anxiety, Gu Shaoan paused for a moment, then released his grip and slapped the man across the face.

The force was just right, enough to knock him unconscious.

Then the second person was forcibly woken up and interrogated in the same way.

The information obtained was basically the same.

After confirming, Gu Shaoan slapped the second person and sent them to sleep.

Seeing Gu Shaoan slowly stand up, Gu Santong asked, "Kid, what exactly is wrong with the Ghost Hand Gang?"

In the months that Gu Santong had spent with Gu Shaoan, apart from their first meeting in the prison, he had never seen such a solemn expression on Gu Shaoan's face.

Gu Shaoan did not hide anything and recounted the situation of the Ghost Hand Gang that he had encountered in Linhai Town four years ago.

Upon learning that the Ghost Hand Gang not only engaged in human trafficking but also dared to commit heinous acts such as mutilation and mutilation, Gu Santong's face darkened, while Su Xin's face turned pale.

Immediately afterwards, Su Xin thought of the little beggar from earlier that day.

"Could it be that the little girl today was also one?"

Gu Shaoan said, "That's possible."

Su Xin couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her mouth, her eyes filled with astonishment.

After responding to Su Xin, Gu Shaoan lowered his head and looked at the two people on the ground, his eyes gradually turning cold.

Taking in Gu Shaoan's expression, Gu Santong said, "Kid, you want to make a move against this Ghost Hand Gang?"

In response to Gu Santong's question, Gu Shaoan glanced at Gu Santong and said, "If I don't take action, will you just let it go like this, senior?"

Four years ago, after Gu Shaoan wiped out all the members of the Ghost Hand Gang in Linjiang Town, Abbess Juejue led the Emei disciples to search around Linjiang Town, but they did not find any other members of the Ghost Hand Gang.

That's why we decided to make an example of them and clean up all the surrounding shady characters.

Gu Shaoan also thought that the Ghost Hand Gang was gone.

Unexpectedly, the Ghost Hand Gang was still around and had even ventured to Gushan City.

Now that we've learned of the Ghost Hand Gang again, and they've even provoked us, it wouldn't be right for us not to do something if we have the ability.

Based on their descriptions, Gu Shaoan also learned about the situation of the Ghost Hand Gang in Gushan City.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Shaoan said, "Senior, please protect Miss Suxin first. I will go and investigate the situation."

"Three links!"

However, just as Gu Shaoan finished speaking, Su Xin suddenly spoke up.

Upon hearing Su Xin's voice, Gu Santong, understanding her meaning, said, "Boy, today's events started because of us. Even if we were to take action, we wouldn't let you come alone."

Gu Shaoan looked at Su Xin beside him and said, "It's just that Miss Su Xin doesn't know martial arts and is unfamiliar with the place. If we take Miss Su Xin with us..."

But Gu Santong waved his hand in response to what Gu Shaoan said.

"Just like you said, they're nothing but rats in the gutter. If I have to be so hesitant about even these kinds of people, what's the point of my cultivation? I might as well just smash my head against the wall in the prison and die."

Gu Shaoan thought about it and did not object.

Although Gu Santong was imprisoned in the imperial prison for more than twenty years, he was still the undefeated mischievous boy he once was.

According to Gu Shaoan's guess, with the "Invincible Vajra Divine Skill", Gu Santong's strength is on par with Sun Baifa's.

With the ancient three-way passage together, even if problems are encountered along the way, there will be an extra layer of insurance.

After inserting the Heaven-Slaying Sword into his belt, Gu Shaoan grabbed the necks of the two men on the ground with both hands.

After a slight exertion, two "crackling" sounds rang out, and the two corpses on the ground twitched before going limp.

Seeing this, Gu Santong couldn't help but mutter, "This guy really doesn't hold back at all when he gets going, even more ruthless than I was when I was young."

Listening to Gu Santong's mutterings, Gu Shaoan said irritably, "Then how about I leave two Ghost Hand Gang members for you, senior, and then you can treat them like royalty?"

"whispering sound!"

Gu Santong curled his lip and said, "No need. If what you say is true, and the Ghost Hand Gang does these heinous things, it's better to send them away as soon as possible."

Gu Shaoan rolled his eyes, ignored the stubborn Gu Santong, and grabbed the two corpses on the ground, leaping out of the window.

Gu Santong then flashed to Su Xin's side, put his arm around her, and followed behind Gu Shaoan.

The night was as thick as ink, plunging the streets and alleys of western Gushan City into a deathly silence.

At the entrance of a rather grand winery in the west of the city, the four gilded characters "Sihai Winery" are as clean as new, shining brightly under the candlelight of the lanterns at the entrance.

As the sounds of people in other parts of the city gradually subsided at the end of Hai hour, a few dim lights and faint voices could be seen peeking through the high walls of this winery, like creatures lurking in the darkness breathing softly.

The winery has a well-organized layout, with the shop in the front and the workshop in the back. After passing the area with mountains of wine barrels, and following the cobblestone path, you can see a few larger brick and tile bungalows that serve as warehouses or living quarters for the managers.

At this moment, unlike the dimly lit places, a tiled house near the inner courtyard of the winery was brightly lit, and shadows moved about behind the paper-covered window frames.

Outside, four men, two dressed in black with knives at their waists and fierce-looking faces, were patrolling back and forth.

Just then, the door to the room with the light on creaked open.

A man walked out of the house.

This man was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a slightly thin build. He wore a finely made brocade robe that still shimmered faintly in the dim light. His belt was loosely tied, and a jade belt hook was diagonally fastened to his side, giving him a somewhat frivolous air.

At this moment, he was slowly adjusting his slightly open collar, his fingers were still slowly tightening his belt, and his face showed an obvious tiredness that was full of satisfaction and impatience.

The light shone on his face, revealing a face that was still somewhat handsome, but was completely ruined by the frivolity born of long-term indulgence in wine and women and an inescapable air of malice in the corners of his eyes and brows.

The four men guarding outside immediately turned around, bowed, and said, "Young Master!"

Xu Wenrui, known as the "Young Master," casually waved his hand, as if shooing away annoying flies. He walked to the eaves, spat a thick wad of phlegm in disgust into the shadows of the courtyard, and muttered curses under his breath:

"Damn it! Young girls are so boring, more lifeless than a block of wood! What bad luck!"

As he spoke, Xu Wenrui gestured with his chin toward the inside of the house, his tone as if he were instructing someone to deal with a broken object: "Clean it up, don't leave any unpleasant smell!"

"Yes!"

The two guards responded in a deep voice, then turned and pushed open the door to enter.

Xu Wenrui stood under the eaves with his hands behind his back, looking up at the moonlight obscured by dark clouds, appearing quite impatient.

Not long after, the two guards reappeared at the door.

Unlike before the two entered the room.

When the two men came out of the door, they were carrying a bulging burlap sack.

The sack was heavy, but its well-fitting shape hinted that what it contained was no ordinary cargo.

One guard was looking up at one side, while the other was holding onto the sack by the foot.

Just as they were about to leave, the sack seemed to be not secure enough, and the sack in the hands of one of the guards suddenly tore open, tearing a section of the rough opening.

A section of the "goods" inside the bag was clearly exposed.

It was clearly a woman's head.

The bright lights inside the house allowed the two guards at the door to clearly see the woman's face.
Her once beautiful and delicate face was now completely bloodless, deathly pale.

The once smooth cheeks were now covered with shocking bluish-purple bruises, clearly caused by repeated blows or rough pinching.

His cheeks were swollen high, as if he had been slapped dozens of times.

What's most chilling is that there's a clear, deep ring of teeth marks with congealed dark red scabs on her left cheekbone!

That face was frozen in solidified pain and silent despair.

Looking at the face that remained open in death, the guards seemed to be used to it.

He glanced at it casually and then looked away.

The two men carrying the sack quickly adjusted their positions and moved the sack outside.

After cleaning up, looking at the woman's body in the courtyard, one of the guards hesitated for a moment, then quietly approached Xu Wenrui under the eaves.

“Young Master, this is the third one this month. It’s only the middle of the month. If this continues, I’m afraid the quantity won’t match when it’s time to deliver the goods, and the Master will probably blame us.”

Upon hearing the guard's words, Xu Wenrui's face darkened, and he glanced sideways at the guard who had spoken.

"Huh? You're teaching me how to do things?"

Seeing Xu Wenrui's darkening expression, the guard who had spoken immediately lowered his head in alarm.

"The gang leader punished the young gang leader half a year ago. If he fails to deliver the goods again, I am afraid that the gang leader will punish him severely this time."

Hearing the guard's words, Xu Wenrui's impatience intensified. He abruptly turned his head, his eyes sweeping over the guard with a sinister glint, and coldly snorted, "You're trying to intimidate me with my father?"

"The villain dare not."

Seeing this, Xu Wenrui snorted coldly, his voice filled with a domineering malice, "If that's not enough, why don't you go kidnap a few more? Useless trash! If there's no one left in Gushan City, then go to Baiyang Prefecture, five hundred miles away. It's such a big place, can't you even catch a few virgins? What are you useless trash for? Huh?"

Faced with Xu Wenrui's outburst of anger, the guards shrank back in fear, but still forced themselves to whisper a reminder:
“But Young Master, we have already kidnapped a group of ‘hostages’ in Baiyang Prefecture in the first half of this year. According to our rules, once we have made a move in the same place, we cannot make another move within three years.”

"If we go to Baiyang Prefecture again, it's easy to smooth things over with the imperial court, but the Giant Sword Sect is based there. I'm afraid they won't let it go easily, and it might cause trouble."

"The Giant Sword Sect?"

Xu Wenrui seemed to have heard something extremely ridiculous, letting out a disdainful sneer from his nose, a cruel and arrogant smile spreading across his lips.

"Back when the Meishan family was still around, we had to give them some leeway."

"But now? The Giant Sword Sect has sold out the Meishan Family themselves. The Meishan Family ceased to exist three months ago."

"Without the Meishan family, what can Zhou Jianshan, that old codger who returned to the Innate Realm after being eliminated from the Great Sword Sect, do?"

"Just stay put and share the money. If you really annoy me and block our path to wealth, I'll have Dad go to Sihaitang again and wipe out the Giant Sword Sect. What kind of Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to interfere with the Ghost Hand Gang's affairs?"

As he spoke, a few wisps of breeze swept by, but they could not soothe the anger and dissatisfaction on Xu Wenrui's face.

However, as Xu Wenrui finished speaking, there was no response from the guards beside him.

After waiting a few moments, Xu Wenrui frowned.

"Mute?"

As the impatient voice came out, Xu Wenrui subconsciously turned his head sharply.

However, as Xu Wenrui turned his head and his gaze shifted to what was behind him, he did not see the guards.

When his gaze fell to nothing, Xu Wenrui's anger and impatience suddenly turned into astonishment.

The next second, as if he had noticed something out of the corner of his eye, Xu Wenrui's body suddenly stiffened.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Wenrui's gaze slowly moved downwards.

But the four guards who were perfectly fine just moments before were now lying on the cold, damp bluestone floor.

By the dim light of the lanterns under the eaves, Xu Wenrui could clearly see that each of the four men had a bloody hole the size of an adult's fingertip between their eyebrows.

The blood hole was like a spring, with dark red blood gushing out and flowing down the foreheads of the group to the ground.

"Dead, dead?"

Shock and doubt burned into Xu Wenrui's mind like a red-hot branding iron.

The color drained from his face instantly, leaving him who had been so arrogant just moments before.

From arrogance to fear, the extreme emotional contrast made his handsome face slightly distorted, and his lips trembled involuntarily due to the chill rising from his spine.

After staggering back a few steps, Xu Wenrui regained his senses and his body jolted. He turned around and opened his mouth as he tried to escape.

"Come"

However, just as he turned around and uttered a single sound, a large, slender, white hand appeared to have been waiting in the darkness all along.

Just as he turned to move forward, his throat was thrust into the five fingers of that large hand.

The next second, as fingers as strong as iron clamped around his neck, the remaining sound was completely suppressed by the terrifying force on his neck.

Using the dim light from the lantern behind him, Xu Wenrui's gaze moved forward along the arm in front of him until, in his eyes, he saw Gu Shaoan's disguised face.

However, at this moment, Gu Shaoan's gaze was not on Xu Wenrui, but rather he turned his head slightly and looked down at the female corpse whose body was half covered by a sack.

Whenever his gaze fell upon the wounds left on the female corpse before her death, Gu Shaoan's eyes would turn colder.

When his gaze met the teeth marks on the female corpse's face and her eyes filled with despair and terror, Gu Shaoan's eyes froze slightly.

At the same time, Gu Santong and Su Xin also slowly jumped down from the air.

As the two approached, Gu Santong frowned upon seeing the gruesome state of the female corpse on the sack, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he looked at Xu Wenrui.

Su Xin closed her eyes, turned around and buried her face in Gu Santong's arms, her body trembling slightly.

When she moved back to Xu Wenrui in front of her, her eyes were as cold as ice that had been frozen for ten thousand years.

As if sensing the coldness in Gu Shaoan's eyes, Xu Wenrui trembled involuntarily, and said with difficulty, "No, no, you, you can't, you can't kill."

"Crack!"

Before Xu Wenrui could finish speaking, a crisp sound of bone cracking suddenly rang out, and a gentle force also entered Xu Wenrui's body through Gu Shaoan's hand.
