Chapter 106: A Knife!

  "If you can't find anything, what's the point of telling me all this?" Qin Yan frowned.

  "What's the use of finding out?"

  Dong Qinglong clenched his fists, his face filled with anger: "The person who set up the formation dares to attack those warriors and can even mobilize the 'Sword of the Divine State'. Can they be ordinary people? With our abilities, finding them is no different from looking for death. I said we're not afraid of death, but we can't die without a reason. We want revenge! So, we started searching for warriors. For five years, we used every method to search and found many, but... they were too weak. Those with only three or four layers of cultivation, although stronger than us, could be killed with one shot and had no chance of resisting the mastermind."

  "Sorry, the mastermind you mentioned, I'm not a match for him either. If there's nothing else... Hmm, I've heard your story, you can leave now." Qin Yan began to show them out.

  "You can!"

  "I can't, I've said so."

  "We may not be martial artists, but through those martial artists, we learned about the situation of the Nine Heavens of Martial Arts and knew most of the common knowledge. You can use your arm to break a military spear, just this point alone is enough to confirm that you have internal energy, without internal energy, martial artists can't do it at all, even if they have internal energy, to make skin and flesh directly withstand the attack of a military spear, the quality of internal energy must be at least eight heavens, you are an eight-heavens master!"

  "Shut up."

  Qin Yan's eyes flashed a piercing light, and even Dong Qinglong's face changed color when he saw that light. Qin Yan said in a low voice: "Don't you know that some people don't want secrets to be known, and the only way to keep secrets is to make all those who know the secret dead?"

  "Help us avenge, this is a deal!" Dong Qinglong seemed to have not heard Qin Yan's threat.

  "Deal?"

  Qin Yan was almost amused by him again, coldly saying: "There's nothing on you that's worth me trading with. Is it your pitiful strength or the trashy firearms in your hands? Or perhaps the tens of millions of funds? Sorry, I don't think we have any basis for a transaction."

  "What I can give is us!"

  "What's the use of you? I've said it before, you're useless in my eyes." Qin Yan's blunt retort was merciless, but what he said was also a fact.

  "Just like renting a house, there are some things that you may find inconvenient or impossible to do, I'll help you with them!"

  Plop!

  Dong Qinglong stood up from the chair and knelt down in front of Qin Yan again, saying in a deep voice: "I am a soldier, I would rather die than kneel to anyone, but for the sake of avenging my fallen brothers, I knelt. As long as I can avenge them, I am willing to do anything, as long as you agree to this deal, from today on, I, Dong Qinglong, will be your knife, whoever you want me to kill, I will kill, whoever you want me to bite, I will bite! Those things that are inconvenient for you to do, those dirty, black, and unsightly things, I will do them all for you, just like the problem you are facing now!"

  Looking at the five men kneeling in front of her, Qin Yan couldn't tell what kind of feeling was in her heart.

  Actually, when Dong Qinglong told that story, he not only believed it was true but also felt touched because the experiences of those people were similar to his own.

  They were special forces, he was a mercenary.

  They had to go into hiding to avenge their brother, and it was only natural that the person who set up the plot five years ago would also try to kill them if they found out they were still alive.

  How about you?

  Because of obtaining that secret book betraying 'Tianming', hiding in Pingjiang City with a changed name, he is also worried about his identity being exposed and worried that he will be hunted down by his former organization.

  What's more important is that he was moved by Dong Qinglong's story and touched by their experiences.

  They are soldiers, soldiers who defend their homes and country, the kings of special forces, the pride of the army. They should have been fighting against strong enemies outside and eliminating traitors inside, but they became pawns for some people to achieve personal gains... No! They can't even be considered pawns, only cannon fodder, used once and then immediately silenced and destroyed!

  Yes!

  They are the best cannon fodder candidates. Although the strong young men in that villa were led away, the remaining elderly women and children are still not weak.

  If it were ordinary soldiers, too many people would easily attract attention and expose the action, while too few people would be likely to be killed by the other side. Only they, although not warriors but with physical strength and combat power, even comparable to those of the second or third-rate warriors, plus accurate shooting skills and excellent equipment, could slaughter those old men, women and children, and complete that so-called 'mission'.

  But touching is one thing, helping them is another!

  From Dong Qinglong's story, Qin Yan has already thought of one thing: five years ago, he didn't have the strength he has now, and hadn't even obtained the title of 'Greedy Wolf' yet, when he heard that a blood case had occurred in Yanhuang, where an extremely powerful ancient martial arts family was almost wiped out.

  That was a family that was in no way inferior to the Lingnan Su family, and such families almost got exterminated, it can be imagined how powerful the mastermind was.

  At least, with his current strength against such a person, it's no different from hitting a stone with an egg.

  He is not a philanthropist, nor a justice crusader. For someone with whom he has no connection, even if he were moved to help, the prerequisite would be that it's relatively easy to do so. He wouldn't go out of his way to help some unrelated stranger, provoke an opponent far stronger than himself, and risk losing his own life in the process. That kind of foolishness is not something he would do, because he has more important things to attend to. As Dong Qinglong once said - I cannot die.

  Even if I die, I won't die for a stranger!

  But...

  Damn it!

  This guy is really good at deceiving people!

  "From today on, I, Dong Qinglong, will be your sword. Whoever you want me to kill, I'll kill; whoever you want me to bite, I'll bite!"

  "Those things you don't want to do, those dirty, black and shameful things I'll take care of for you, just like the problem you're facing now!"

  These two sentences seemed to haunt Qin Yan's mind like a nightmare, affecting his originally rational judgment.

  Greedy wolf.

  Cunning and deceitful individuals, with abundant wisdom and numerous schemes, possessing multiple talents and skills yet being greedy by nature, ranked first among the seven stars of the Purple Mansion and the Peach Blossom Star, governing fortune and misfortune.

  He can give his employees a raise and buy Su Hao a supercar, because these people are around him, but he has always been a greedy person at heart.

  A knife!

  This knife comes from 'Divine State Sword', sharp, ruthless and extremely professional. To avenge himself, he is absolutely reliable in terms of loyalty.

  It turns out that there are indeed some things that he is inconvenient to do, or has no time, interest to do.

  For example, renting a house, he is a legitimate businessman and cannot force the sale, if the other party raises the price, he has no way to do it. But if Dong Qinglong were to do this, it would be different. He used to be a soldier and now is a hooligan, people like Zhu De are most afraid of hooligans, otherwise why would they be scared to the point of trembling with fear?

  For example, in this bar, there are always some short-sighted kids who stir up trouble. He stares at them every night, just hoping those kids won't cause any problems.

  But he has too many things to do and can't stay in the bar every night, besides, when the bar expands its area in the future, one person will not be able to keep up with it.

  On one hand was the mastermind behind the assassination of Dong Qinglong, on the other were five sharp blades. For a greedy person, it was indeed a difficult choice to make.

  "If you need greater development in business, Longtang will be your escort!" Dong Qinglong, who was kneeling on the ground, threw out the bait again.

  Awesome!

  Not like this, right?

  Qin Yan secretly felt a pang of frustration. Of course, he had to continue developing in business, and according to his goals, he must build a powerful business empire.

  If it were just a small bar, he could still manage on his own, staring at the bar, who would dare to cause trouble and break his dog's leg. But if it were a business empire, it would be different. The headquarters, branches, and stores are all over the country, even extending to all over the world. Where there is business, there is competition, where there is fair competition, there is vicious competition, and there will be all sorts of troubles. Even if he knew how to split himself, it's impossible for him to take care of so many places at once.

  Five knives!

  The dark forces led by these five knives, seemingly unrelated on the surface, secretly escort their own business giant!

  It's all over!

  Even 'heaven's will' has been offended, what else is there to fear?

  The enemy is currently unbeatable anyway, one more or less makes no difference!

  Facing Dong Qinglong's 'temptation', Qin Yan finally gave up his 'resistance' and reached out to pull him up: "So, when does our transaction begin?"

  "Now!" Dong Qinglong's expression was firm and determined.

  "I hope that within an hour, I can rent out that small building for 150 yuan per square meter, with a lease term of five years, and without being taken to court or anyone getting killed. After all, I am a legitimate businessman, what do you think?"

  "I understand."

  Dong Qinglong left the Lavender Bar with four former comrades and current hoodlum brothers, without looking back. He knew this was a test given by Qin Yan.

  It has been passed, and the transaction will continue.

  Transaction will be terminated immediately if not passed through.

  After listening carefully to Jiang Xiaoying singing a song, Qin Yan called her over and pointed out that she only had one place where the breath control was not very serious.

  It's been almost two months, and unless there are special circumstances, he will be on-site to guide her every evening. Jiang Xiaoying doesn't have the talent of a prodigy like Cai Qingwu, but she definitely has above-average qualifications, with a voice that is extremely clear and moving. Plus, she herself is hardworking enough, so it can be said that compared to when she first started, she's undergone a complete transformation.

  He was instructing Jiang Xiaoying on this side, five tall and burly men walked into the bar, looking straight at Qin Yan's card seat without a glance.

  "Alright, that's all for today. Go back and rest early." Qin Yan saw Dong Qinglong come in, so he let Jiang Xiaoyan leave first.

  "Hmm, you... be careful."

  Jiang Xiaoying had seen these people come in early, but what happened later was in the private room and outsiders didn't know. Seeing that these few people were incredibly fierce, although she knew Qin Yan was very capable of fighting, she still felt a bit worried, praying that these people wouldn't be looking for trouble.

  Before Qin Yan could speak, Dong Qinglong placed three stapled A4 papers in front of him, turned to the last page and handed him a fountain pen.

  So soon?

  Qin Yan looked at his phone and it had been less than 40 minutes, this family's efficiency was indeed not a cover.

  "As soon as you sign it, give the money to Zhu De Ping and let him sign it, this contract will take effect immediately."

  "My god! 100 yuan per square meter?"

  Seeing the numbers on the contract, Qin Yan was shocked at first, and then frowned at Dong Qinglong: "I said it before, I don't want any trouble, I don't want to be taken to court!"

  In his view, renting a house at such a low price was likely because Dong Qinglong had a gun pointed at Zhu Deyun's head. If this matter were to be exposed, how could he still do business in the future?

  "No." Dong Qinglong said firmly.

  "So it's certain?"

  "I just told him that if he didn't rent it to you, nobody would dare to rent his house."

  Then Qin Yan picked up his pen and signed his name at the end of the last page of the contract, with a flourish that would have been the envy of any master calligrapher.
