Underworld Chronicles: Qiao Si's Strategist, Xiao Ke, and Wang Weifan

"What?! You guys are fucking useless!" Xia Feng said, quickly running out of the car with Wang Hai to see what was going on.

After Xia Feng and Wang Hai got out of the car, they saw Wang Zhi and Zhang Guangyue standing back to back, their eyes like those of mad dogs, looking like they wanted to kill someone. Their underlings surrounded the four of them, and none of them dared to rush forward easily.

Just then, Zhang Guangyue and Wei Qinggang saw Xia Feng and Wang Hai. They roared and instantly cut down two of their underlings, then rushed towards them.

This terrified Xia Feng and Wang Hai. They turned and ran to the car. When the other henchmen saw that their boss had run away, they realized there was no point in fighting anymore. Like monkeys scattering when their tree fell, they threw down their weapons and fled in all directions.

Xia Feng and Wang Hai ran faster than rabbits, as if their feet were greased. They mounted the bread truck like Liu Xiang, stepped on the gas, and sped away.

Zhang Guangyue and Wei Qinggang, each wielding a large cleaver and a dagger, chased after the bread cart for a few steps, but they couldn't catch up with Xia Feng and Wang Hai.

"Fuck you, Xia Feng, you just wait, I'll fucking kill you!" Wei Qinggang shouted, throwing his large cleaver.

Seeing so many people watching the commotion, Wang Zhi figured the hat would definitely be coming soon, so he stopped Zhang Guangyue, Wei Qinggang, and Su Xiaoxu from continuing the chase, saying to them...

Let's go. We can talk about this tomorrow. I reckon the hat will be here soon. Let's leave.

So, Wang Zhi, along with Zhang Guangyue and the others, abandoned Xia Feng's injured underlings and drove away.

It's pitiful that Xia Feng and his injured underlings had some with broken fingers, missing ears, groins stuck, and anuses ruptured. They were ruthlessly abandoned by their boss. How incredibly frustrating that must have been.

After Wang Zhi and the others returned, Zhang Guangyue, Wei Qinggang, and Su Xiaoxu all objected. They wanted to gather people overnight to deal with Xia Feng and Wang Hai.

At this point, Wang Zhi was still relatively sober. He stopped the three of them and said, "This matter is not so simple. It may be related to Huo Canrong. We definitely can't let it go. We need to talk to Xiao Ke. We'll discuss it tomorrow."

After hearing what Wang Zhi said, Zhang Guangyue and the others finally understood. If it were Xia Feng and Wang Hai, those two little karami, they would just do it without hesitation. But if Huo Canrong was involved, then Xiao Ke would definitely have to make the decision before they could act.

So, Zhang Guangyue and the other two listened to Wang Zhi and decided to wait until Xiao Ke returned tomorrow to discuss it further.

Wang Zhi and his three friends were really thick-skinned. They went back, changed their clothes, and went to Hao the Cripple's nightclub to drink and hunt rabbits as usual, as if nothing had happened. Fighting was just like everyday life for them.

The next day, Xiao Ke, who had been playing cards all night, came to the office still half asleep. Wang Zhi then told Xiao Ke about what had happened the night before.

After hearing this, Xiao Ke's mind raced. He thought the same thing as Wang Zhi: Huo Canrong must have been supporting them behind the scenes. Otherwise, Xia Feng and Wang Hai wouldn't have had the guts.

"Damn it, that Rongzi is playing these tricks on us. I'm calling him now and putting him in his place." Xiao Ke said, picking up the office phone and paged Huo Canrong, telling him to call back immediately.

After berating Xia Feng and Wang Hai, Huo Canrong sent away the twenty-odd people he had brought, regardless of whether they were injured or not, overnight.

Afterwards, Huo Canrong arranged for Xia Feng and Wang Hai to go out and hide overnight. He would handle the rest, but Xiao Ke and the others would definitely not let it go.

When Huo Canrong heard the pager go off, he picked it up and saw it was a call from Xiao Ke's office. What was bound to happen would happen eventually, so he might as well face it.

Huo Canrong picked up the office phone and called Xiao Ke back. "Hello, Second Brother, you were looking for me?"

"Ah, Rongzi, what are you busy with?" Xiao Ke asked.

"Nothing much, just playing cards with some buddies. What are your instructions, Second Brother?" Huo Canrong asked, pretending not to know anything.

Ah, Rongzi, do you know about what happened last night?

"What happened last night, Second Brother?" Huo Canrong asked, feigning concern.

Xiao Ke thought to himself, "Damn it, Xiao Rongzi, you're trying to play tricks on me? You're still too green. You think I'm called Brainy Ke for nothing?"

"Fine, Rongzi, whether you know it or not, I reckon Xia Feng has already escaped Bingcheng. It doesn't matter, I'm just calling to let you know that as soon as he gets back, I'm going to break his leg." Xiao Ke slammed down the phone, giving him no chance to explain.

Xiao Ke outmaneuvered Huo Canrong, leaving him completely bewildered. Huo Canrong is quite clever, but when it comes to scheming in front of Xiao Ke, he's no match for him.

What to do now? Huo Canrong knew that Xiao Ke always kept his word and was a man of his word. If he said he was going to deal with Xia Feng, then there was no escaping it. He could hide for a while, but he couldn't hide forever.

Huo Canrong thought about it carefully and realized that this matter could not be delayed and he had to find a solution quickly. So he picked up the phone, made a pager, and asked him to call back.

Who did Huo Canrong call? Qiao Si, his fourth brother. At this point, only Qiao Si could resolve this matter.

After seeing the pager, Qiao Si called back shortly afterward. "Hello, who is it?"

"Fourth Brother, it's me, Rongzi. I have something urgent to discuss with you. Are you busy?" Huo Canrong asked directly.

"Ah, Rongzi, I'm at the company. Come on over," Qiao Si said.

Okay, Fourth Brother, I'll be right there. After hanging up the phone, Huo Canrong arrived at Longhua Company.

When Huo Canrong arrived at Qiao Si's office, Li Zhengguang, Li Haixiu, Ma Long, and the others were already sitting there.

Huo Canrong greeted them with a smile, "Oh, everyone's here."

"Damn, Rongzi's here. What can't we talk about over the phone? Why do you have to come all this way?" Qiao Si tossed a cigarette to Huo Canrong and said.

"Fourth Brother, it's hard to explain over the phone. It's about me and Second Brother," Huo Canrong said, lighting a cigarette and sitting down.

"Damn, what's going on between you and Xiao Ke? That's really strange. What happened? Did you offend Xiao Ke?" Qiao Si asked nonchalantly.

Fourth Brother, it's not that I've offended anyone. Second Brother might have misunderstood me. After thinking it over, I realized that only by coming to you can I clear things up.

"Damn, Xiao Ke's head is full of tricks, how could he misunderstand you? What's going on?" Qiao Si asked in confusion.

Huo Canrong then told Qiao Si about Xia Feng's affair, omitting some parts and embellishing others, thus exonerating Huo Canrong completely.

After listening to what Huo Canrong said, Qiao Si said, "Damn, what's the big deal? Can't you explain it to Xiao Ke yourself? We're all brothers."

"Fourth Brother, Second Brother hung up the phone without even listening to my explanation. He definitely thinks I'm the one behind this. I can't clear my name now," Huo Canrong said, feigning grievance.

Will Qiao Si help Huo Canrong find Xiao Ke next? Stay tuned for the next episode.
