Chapter 189 Qing She and Qing Cuiying learned their lessons? (1)

In front of the minivan, two women stood, leaning casually against it, their gazes fixed intently on Zhang Wei.

The light gleamed in their eyes, as both of them scrutinized Zhang Wei from head to toe.

Both were clad in tight-fitting black attire that accentuated their lithe and powerful figures.

The thing that caught Zhang Wei's attention was — both of them were actually had tempered bodies!

And from their appearance, they looked like fighters from the very first glance!

He was curious about their origins, as his gaze similarly narrowed on them.

Who were they, and why had they appeared here?

His contemplations, however, were momentarily overridden by the sight of Tang Bo and Rose confined in the back of the minivan.

In that instant, the decison was made!

There was no mistaking the situation.

The individuals before him were to be treated as enemies!

"Are you their leader?" Qing Cuiying took the initiative to step forward, her eyes slightly narrowed as she felt an unfamiliar aura emanating from Zhang Wei.

Her knowledge told her that Qingyun City should be peaceful, and there shouldn't be any life threatning situations.

Beside her, Qing She moved closer. "Cuiying, there's no need to ask. He's definitely the one," she stated with certainty, her voice carrying a tone of contempt.

Zhang Wei's face darkened.

Who were these two foolish women?

Not only had they confronted him in his own territory, but they had also trapped his people, and now standing before him without a trace of fear.

His voice though remained controlled, the anger simmering beneath the surface for now. "I should be their leader. And who might you two be?" he inquired, his gaze shifting between Qing Cuiying and Qing She.

Qing Cuiying's response was measured, her voice steady as she explained, "We come from the Jade Court, Xianghui. Our leader, Scarlet Lady, seeks cooperation with your organization to expand her influence in this city."

Zhang Wei's reaction—or rather, the lack thereof—was not what she had anticipated.

His composed demeanor left her momentarily perplexed, her gaze locked on him in an attempt to decipher his thoughts.

"Is this how you guys ask for cooperation?" Zhang Wei's pointed gaze directed attention to Tang Bo and Rose, the former bearing obvious signs of injury.

Qing Cuiying's expression shifted slightly, a subtle change that mirrored the underlying anger in his tone.

"They weren't cooperating with us," she replied, her words holding a veneer of calm.

Zhang Wei nodded, his curiosity piqued. "And who is your Scarlet Lady?"

Qing She stepped forward, spekaing in a clear tone, "You are not worthy to know about her."

Zhang Wei's face darkened even more, a mixture of irritation and suprise clouding his features.

"Not worthy, you say?" He echoed her words with a tinge of disbelief.

Taking a cigarette from his pocket, he lit it up, the flame casting an ephemeral glow on his face. "What does your so-called cooperation mean for me?" He posed the question tentatively, a calculated move to gather information that would help him assess whether this Scarlet Lady posed a threat, all while communicating subtly with the system to analyze the situation.

[Villain points - 100]

[Host, Scarlet Lady is the manager of the Jade Court, one of the underworld organizations in Xianghui City, just as claimed by them. As for threat, she doesn't pose a direct threat to you, but the real threat lies with the person behind-the-scenes.]

Qing Cuiying spoke, her tone holding a promise of opportunity. "Our leader would provide you protection while you extend your influence in her name. Your city's underworld is too small; this is a life changing opportunity for you."

At first glance, Qing Cuiying appeared to be the strategist, speaking with a calculated approach.

Qing She, on the other hand, seemed more impulsive, her demeanor reflecting her straightforward nature.

"I decline," Zhang Wei's sudden announcement caught both sisters off guard.

Qing She's eyes flashed with disbelief. "Don't you listen to us? Our lady doesn't extend offers to everyone!" Her frustration evident in her tone.

Qing Cuiying stopped her impulsive sister. "Qishi, wait! Let's return and report this to the boss." She then turned her attention to Zhang Wei. "Be prepared to face the consequences. As for these two," she indicated Tang Bo and Rose, "they will remain in our custody. You can retrieve them at the Jade Court."

Zhang Wei shook his head, a wry smile tugging at his lips. "Who said you could leave?" With a casual gesture, he discarded the cigarette and ground it beneath his shoe.

!!

Qing She and Qing Cuiying halted in their tracks, a sense of unease pervading the air

"Gah!"

An abrupt cry of pain shattered the moment. Qing She's body was propelled through the air, moving with astonishing speed, until it collided with the minivan's metal body with a resounding *Bang!*

"What!?" Qing Cuiying barely had time to react. Her hands moved instinctively, assuming a defensive posture.

*Boom!*

"Ugh?!"

Qing Cuiying's exclamation was cut short as a powerful impact struck her, leaving her stomach churning with pain. Her wide eyes reflected a mix of fear and surprise, her jaw clenching as agony surged through her body.

*Swoosh!*

As she tried to recover and regain control, two needles suddenly materialized out of nowhere, finding their mark in her legs.

"What!?"

Before she could fully comprehend the situation, her leg began to lose feeling. A mere moment later, three more needles hurtled toward her with relentless speed, their trajectory akin to bullets fired from a gun.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Two needles found their mark on Qing Cuiying's hands, while a third embedded itself in her neck. Her mouth opened in a silent gasp of shock, an attempt to form words turning futile as the muscles in her mouth grew unresponsive. The same fate befell her hands, their sensation slipping away.

"Cough... cough... what... have you done to... her?" Qing She's voice managed to escape through the pain that wracked her body. Blood tinged her lips, the evidence of internal injuries.

Zhang Wei's gaze snapped toward her, his stare sending a chill down her spine. "You came all the way here, did you not once consider that this could happen?" His voice was cold, his words resonating with a weight of accusation as he approached her, each step calculated.

"T-the Scarlet La—*smack*..." She began to speak, only to be abruptly cut off by the slap that landed across her face.
