Reborn as Lin Pingzhi, starting from escorting Daiyu to the capital.

A rare opportunity.

Lin Pingzhi waited for a while and, seeing no movement around him, followed Zhan Fei's previous example and entered Bei Haishi's room through the window.

The room was filled with the smell of medicine.

After searching for a while, they finally found a hidden compartment under the bed board.

Opening the hidden compartment revealed several booklets, along with a batch of gold, silver, jewelry, and banknotes.

The string of pearls that He Siyuan had given to Bei Haishi before was prominently featured among them.

I flipped through it and found that one of the booklets was the account book I had been looking for.

Without further hesitation, he decisively put all the booklets into his pocket. After a moment's thought, he reached into the hidden compartment and grabbed the gold and silver jewelry, stuffing it all into his pocket.

After doing all this, he picked up Zhanfei and jumped out of the window.

After thinking for a moment, he used his lightness skill to rush in the direction Bei Haishi had just left.

He felt that Bei Haishi's behavior today was strange, and that he might gain something unexpected.

Before he knew it, he had arrived at a small house.

Just as they were hesitating, unsure of where to go, they suddenly heard a burst of giggling laughter coming from inside the house:

"You rascal, my husband's back! You dare come here again tonight?"

Lin Pingzhi's heart skipped a beat: Wasn't that Madam Zhan's voice? Could it be that Bei Haishi was looking for her?

With a sudden thought, he reached his right hand under the covers and channeled a stream of icy true energy into Zhan Fei's body.

Zhan Fei immediately woke up, feeling stuffy and dark all around him. He thought to himself, "I remember that the lecherous gang leader immobilized me with pressure points. Where am I now? Oh no, could this be hell?"

He tried to call out, but found that his pressure points had been pressed, and he couldn't make a sound.

Suddenly a deep voice was heard: "I've already arranged for him to be on duty tonight; he won't be back for a while."

Zhan Fei was greatly shocked: Wasn't that Dr. Bei's voice? Who exactly did Dr. Bei assign to the duty? And what was his purpose?

He was a confidant of the former gang leader, Situ Heng. Doctor Bei had always been dissatisfied with him and often found excuses to send him out.

Then, a charming voice rang out: "So that's what you were planning."

Zhan Fei recognized the voice immediately; it was his wife's!

Zhan Fei was shocked again, and had a vague sense of foreboding.

He was ugly, but he married a very beautiful wife, so he doted on her.

Dr. Bei's voice came again: "How can you call it wishful thinking? I miss Madam so much that I can't wait even a moment longer."

Lin Pingzhi was greatly shocked.

Lin Pingzhi was greatly shocked. In his mind, Bei Haishi had always been a resourceful and ruthless person. He never expected that Bei Haishi would have such a nauseating side.

"Look at you, how old are you? Aren't you ashamed?"

Madam Zhan's voice came again. Although her words were accusatory, her tone and eyes were full of flattery.

Zhan Fei was so angry he was practically fuming.

Since their marriage, he and his wife had always treated each other with respect, but he never expected that she would be having an affair with someone else behind his back.

He longed to stand up and give the lady a good interrogation.

Bei Haishi chuckled and said, "Let's see who's shy later."

What followed was another round of unpleasant and offensive mockery.

Fifteen minutes later.

Madam Zhan seemed very satisfied with Bei Haishi's performance, and said in a sweet voice, "Everyone says you're called 'The Hand That Brings Spring,' and you really are amazing."

Bei Haishi said, "Now you know what shame is, right?"

Zhan Fei's anger was burning fiercely, almost about to explode.

After a while, Bei Haishi suddenly asked, "How's it going with my request to get close to the new gang leader?"

Mentioning Lin Pingzhi instantly irritated Madam Zhan, who said, "That man is practically a block of wood, he completely ignores me. By the way, what is his background?"

When Lin Pingzhi heard that he was mentioned, he pricked up his ears and listened intently.

Bei Haishi said, "This man claims to be a hoodlum in Yangzhou, but I sent people to Yangzhou to inquire, but I couldn't find him. Everything he said is a lie."

Lin Pingzhi felt a chill run down his spine. This Bei Haishi was indeed extraordinary, with a meticulous mind, and should not be underestimated.

Madam Zhan said, "Your name is 'Touching Spring,' so with just a little effort, how could this person possibly disobey?"

Bei Haishi said, "Although this kid seems to obey me on the surface, I have a feeling something is wrong. There are less than two years left before the decree for rewarding good and punishing evil arrives, so it's best to be careful."

Madam Zhan said resentfully, "I also think there's something strange about this kid. Everyone in the gang is giving me a second glance."

Bei Haishi said, "Keep a closer eye on him."

Madam Zhan sneered, "I'll teach him a lesson."

Bei Haishi sensed something was wrong and asked, "What did you do to him?"

Madam Zhan said, "I told Zhan Fei that the new gang leader seduced me, and I'm sure Zhan Fei has already gone to settle accounts with him."

Zhan Fei felt ashamed, never expecting that he had been misled and wronged an innocent person.

Lin Pingzhi was furious, cursing inwardly: This Madam Zhan is treating me like Qiao Feng! Luckily, I'm quick-witted, otherwise I would have been killed by her.

Snapped!

A crisp slap rang out, and Madam Zhan said aggrievedly, "You hit me!"

Zhan Fei felt a pang of heartache and wanted nothing more than to go up and teach Bei Haishi a lesson. Then he heard the other man curse:

"You little bitch, you've ruined my plans. I went through so much trouble to choose this gang leader, what if something really happens to him..."

A rustling sound rang out, and Dr. Bei rushed out of the room, followed by Madam Zhan, whose clothes were disheveled.

Upon hearing that Bei Haishi had left his wife's room, Zhan Fei felt a sense of relief for some reason.

He desperately wanted to get up and confront Bei Haishi, but he was unable to move his entire body.

After Bei Haishi left, Zhan Fei felt himself constantly shifting and leaping along the road at an extremely fast speed. His opponent was clearly very skilled in light-footed techniques and extremely familiar with the terrain of the gang.

"Who exactly is this person? Could he be the new gang leader?"

"What exactly does he want from me?"

He didn't know how much time had passed, but Zhan Fei felt himself being thrown heavily to the ground. Fortunately, the blanket cushioned the fall, and he was not injured.

He lay there blankly on the ground for about half an hour before the pressure points on his body finally released on their own.

Zhan Fei stretched out his body, deflecting the bullets, and leaped into the air.

It was still late at night, and by the moonlight, Zhan Fei recognized that he was in the back mountain.

Just as they were at a loss, several lights appeared in the distance, and they could faintly hear someone shouting, "Come over here quickly, he can't have gone far."

"Over here!"

Suddenly, someone pointed in Zhan Fei's direction and shouted excitedly.

The others immediately rushed towards Zhan.

Zhan Fei recognized the leader as Mi Hengye. Gradually, Mi Hengye was overtaken by a man—it was Bei Haishi!

Upon seeing Bei Haishi, Zhan Fei felt his blood rush to his head and was about to rush up to question him when, unexpectedly, Doctor Bei spoke first:

"Zhanfei, tell me, where did you hide the gang leader!" he shouted angrily, his voice echoing throughout the entire back mountain.

Bei Haishi knew that Zhan Fei was always reckless. When he heard from Zhan Fei's wife that Zhan Fei was going to settle accounts with Lin Pingzhi, he immediately felt something was wrong and rushed back to the gang leader's room.

Upon inspection, the gang leader's room was already empty, and even the quilt had been stolen.

After carefully questioning the members of the Leopard Hall who were on duty that night, some said they saw Zhan Fei carrying a cotton quilt as he came out of the gang leader's room.

Bei Haishi was certain that the person in that quilt was none other than Gang Leader Kou Zhong, so he immediately ordered the members of the Chang Le Gang to search for Zhan Fei's whereabouts overnight.

Fortunately, the Chang Le Gang had a large number of members and some skilled trackers, and they finally discovered Zhan Fei's whereabouts.

By this time, everyone had gathered around. Bei Haishi immediately noticed the tattered quilt and was shocked. He demanded again:

"Zhan Fei, where's Chief Kou?"

The other gang members also asked, "Where is Gang Leader Kou?"

Kou Zhong's whereabouts are a matter of life and death for everyone, so we must take it seriously.

Seeing that Bei Haishi had not only stolen his wife but also framed him, Zhan Fei coldly replied, "I can't even control my own wife, how can I control where the gang leader goes?"

Bei Haishi, still believing Zhan Fei was unaware of the "insider information," gently advised, "Zhan Fei, Chief Kou has no connection with your wife. You should release him. If you hand over the chief, this matter will be over."

"Forget it?" Zhan Fei laughed angrily.

"Dr. Bei, you said the gang leader and my wife have no connection, but what if someone in the gang has a connection with my wife?"
