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

"Damn it, still not saying a word, Guangyue, it's your turn to make a move," Xiao Ke said.

Zhang Guangyue had been itching to act. Upon hearing Xiao Ke's instructions, he drew his dagger and pried open the pockmarked man's fingers to cut them.

"Ah, no, no, I understand, I understand! I'll leave today and I'll never come back! Please, please, please!" The pockmarked man suddenly came to his senses and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.

"It's too late, damn it!" Zhang Guangyue said, raising his dagger to make a cut.

At this moment, Xiao Ke stopped Zhang Guangyue. "Let it go. Leave him a way out; you might need him in the future. Let him off this time. Get lost!"

The pockmarked man got up from the ground and ran away, dragging his injured body.

Xiao Ke's incredible actions terrified the other shop owners; they were completely stunned by his antics.

So that's what they're like, they have connections to organized crime. Luckily I didn't get involved, or I'd be in trouble too.

Pockmarked face is really unlucky; his shop was smashed up. He deserves it; who told him to show off for no reason? Now he's messed with some tough guys.

Let's stick to our fine tradition of keeping to ourselves and quietly continue doing our own business, without bothering that shop.

From then on, no one dared to cause trouble for Su Xiaolin's shop anymore, and business flourished day by day, with truckloads of goods arriving from Guangzhou.

However, the clothes that Xiao Ke and his group brought in were illegal at the time. Think about it, these were clothes that the Japanese had worn. Who knows if they had any viruses or STDs? The higher-ups would definitely have banned them.

Outsiders certainly don't understand the ins and outs of this business, but insiders do. Pockmarked face is one of them. After being kicked out by Xiao Ke, he held a grudge and prepared to take revenge on Xiao Ke and his gang.

Who wouldn't hate that? Xiao Ke smashed up a perfectly good shop; that was a very profitable business for him.

More importantly, Wang Zhi had emptied one of Pockmarked Man's baskets, causing him to almost completely lose his sexual function. For a man, this is equivalent to becoming a eunuch, which is a great disgrace. Without that function, what else can he ask for in this life?

Pockmarked Face definitely wouldn't dare to confront Little K and his gang head-on, so let's resort to underhanded tactics.

This opportunity soon came to Pockmarked Face. He had met a guy in the anti-smuggling bureau who was a squad leader. The guy wanted to get promoted and needed an opportunity to make a name for himself, so he approached Pockmarked Face.

Pockmarked guy readily agreed, telling the guy to wait for his letter, promising him a great achievement.

For the next few days, Pockmarked Man did nothing but keep an eye on Su Xiaolin's shop, watching to see when she would bring back goods from Guangzhou.

That noon, Ma Lian saw that Su Xiaolin had hired several porters to go to the station to pick up goods, and Ma Lian knew that his opportunity had come.

Sure enough, after Ma Lian caught up with Su Xiaolin and the others, he saw two large trucks loaded with old clothes. Ma Lian immediately went to find his buddies from the anti-smuggling team.

Upon hearing the report from the pockmarked man, the squad leader immediately led a group of people to the station. Before Su Xiaolin and her team had even finished unloading the goods, they were surrounded and all the goods were confiscated.

That was two large truckloads of goods, worth a considerable amount of money. After the goods were confiscated, Su Xiaolin quickly ran to the casino and found Xiao Ke.

When Xiao Ke saw Su Xiaolin's anxious appearance, he thought it was quite unusual. "Wife, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Xiao Ke, something terrible has happened! Two large truckloads of clothes we brought in have been confiscated!" Su Xiaolin exclaimed.

What? Who confiscated it? Little Ke was quite surprised.

The group of people were all wearing uniforms; they must be from the anti-smuggling bureau.

"Damn it! How dare they touch my goods? They've gone too far! Cousin, gather the men, let's go and take the goods back!" Xiao Ke jumped up, glaring angrily.

"Xiao Ke, are you crazy? That's a legitimate government office. Don't do anything reckless!" Su Xiaolin warned.

"Oh, honey, don't worry about it. I know what I'm doing. Go back to the shop and wait to unload the goods." Xiao Ke said, then had two of his men take Su Xiaolin back to the shop.

After seeing Su Xiaolin off, Wang Zhi, Zhang Guangyue, Wei Qinggang, and their group of more than 20 people gathered together, all armed, and waited for Xiao Ke's instructions.

Little Ke grabbed his hunting rifle, waved his hand, and led his henchmen straight to the anti-smuggling bureau.

When Xiao Ke arrived at the anti-smuggling bureau with his group, the squad leader was happily leading his men in counting the goods.

"Everyone stand still! Nobody move!" Little K, holding a shotgun, led his men to surround the squad leader and his men.

The squad leader and his men were utterly shocked. What was going on? How could someone dare to cause trouble here? This was utterly lawless!

"Hey guys, you're robbing people without even looking where you're going? Can't you read? Look at the sign at the door!" the squad leader said to Xiao Ke.

Little K didn't tolerate any wrongdoing. Without saying a word, he shoved the shotgun barrel into the squad leader's mouth.

"I fucking know where this is. Listen up, this is my cargo. Nobody's getting involved. If anyone's not afraid of dying or their family getting hurt, come on up here now and see if I'm just bluffing. Drive the car away. Let's see who dares to stop me," Xiao Ke ordered.

After hearing Xiao Ke's instructions, several henchmen got on the truck and drove it away fully loaded with goods in full view of everyone.

The squad leader and his men didn't dare to utter a word or stop them. Once the truck had left safely, Xiao Ke pulled out the shotgun barrel.

"Dude, listen up. I don't care if you take other people's things, but you can't take mine. If there's a next time, I'll smash up this place too. Let's go!" After saying that, Xiao Ke led Wang Zhi and the others away from the anti-smuggling bureau in a cocky manner.

When Xiao Ke brought the goods back, Su Xiaolin and the others were stunned. It was so fast! Su Xiaolin ran to Xiao Ke's side and asked...

Xiao Ke, how did you get it back?

Why should I take it back? I snatched it back.

"You really went and robbed it? That's a government office! You're crazy!" Su Xiaolin complained.

It's alright, don't you trust me to handle things? Hurry up and get the workers unloading the goods, don't delay our business.

Since the deed was already done, there was no point in Su Xiaolin saying anything more. She could only direct the workers to unload the goods and then stopped asking about the matter.

Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast. The next day, news of Xiao Ke leading a group to rob goods from the anti-smuggling bureau spread throughout the streets and alleys of Harbin.

Because Xiao Ke's actions were absolutely unprecedented and will likely never be repeated. Generally speaking, people in the underworld, no matter how powerful you are, will show some respect to those in uniform, if not like a mouse before a cat.

Someone like Xiao Ke, who not only showed no respect but also went straight to steal things without saying a word, is truly a first. How could he not spread the word all over the country?

Now that the squad leader has lost face, will he let Little K off so easily? Stay tuned for the next episode.
