Chapter 43: Joint Defense
"Is there really a Heavenly Demon in the gang?"
"It must be fake. The characteristics of the Heavenly Demon are so obvious, how could it hide for two days without being discovered?"
"I also think the old gang leader is lying. He was tortured by Feng Qi so badly. If there really is a Heavenly Demon lurking, he wouldn't reveal it until he ruins Feng Qi's plan in the future! If he reveals it now, it must be fake..."
"Be careful what you say. Don't let the new gang leader hear it."
"I didn't say anything bad about the gang leader. What's there to be afraid of? I think the old gang leader feels that he's not capable anymore, so he made up a story to negotiate with the new gang leader, asking the new gang leader to save him, or like the other announcement said, to see a few children before he dies."
...
A group of gang members from the Peacekeeping Gang were pointing and discussing under the announcement, exchanging their opinions.
In the crowd.
A young man in his twenties appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil. Is it true or not? He has been so low-key, how could he be discovered?
Are they trying to deceive me?
No, I have to leave!
No, I can't leave. If I leave, it will expose me. If Feng Qi dares to do this, he must have planted spies within the gang. If there is any abnormality, I will definitely be killed...
Why is it so difficult to live a peaceful life?
"Shao Zhou, what's wrong with you?" Someone bumped into his shoulder and asked with a smile, "You haven't said a word for a long time. Could it be that you've been possessed by the Heavenly Demon?"
"If I were possessed by the Heavenly Demon, I would have joined the gang leader long ago and enjoyed a good life. Why would I still be with you bunch of scoundrels?" Shao Zhou said, "I'm thinking about who might be suspicious around me. If I report it, maybe I can gain some credit with the gang leader."
"Damn, you're quite smart! Come on, come on, let's think carefully. Who has been acting differently these past two days? Let's report it to the gang leader together. I heard that the Heavenly Demon mostly possesses the old, weak, sick, and disabled. The gang leader is generous, and there will definitely be a reward..." The person's eyes lit up and said excitedly.
"I was just joking. Are you really going to report it? If the Heavenly Demon finds out, it will stab you." Shao Zhou smiled.
"I was joking too. We're all brothers. How can we do such dirty things like reporting behind each other's backs..." The person smirked and brushed it off, obviously not taking Shao Zhou's words to heart.
Shao Zhou knew it well and didn't try to persuade him anymore. There were already too many informants. He would find a chance to investigate the old gang leader's situation and see if he was deceiving him. It would be clear at a glance.
...
Du Ge and Feng Zhong were eating and chatting while occasionally glancing at the room where Qiu Yuanlang and his son were recuperating, to see if there were any suspicious people going to investigate.
"Brother Qi, where are you from?" Feng Zhong asked.
"What do you mean by 'where are you from'?" Du Ge asked back.
However, even if it wasn't a maintenance issue, it should be related to it. His attributes must have been affected.
It must be said that Feng Qi had disguised the real keywords too well.
Du Ge had eyes in the back of his head and clearly saw Feng Zhong's small movements, but he didn't take it seriously.
After all.
Everyone has a desire to pry into others' secrets. It's human nature.
With this incident, the maintenance issue was covered up, and Feng Zhong would never suspect this side again.
"Gang Leader, it must have been Han Zuo and his gang who did this." Liu Cheng continued, "We have to find a way to get rid of them. We can't let them ruin the reputation of the Peacekeeping Gang. I have an idea, let's tie the old Gang Leader outside Luyang City and force them to come out!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? We are the Peacekeeping Gang, not a criminal gang. Our purpose is to uphold morality, fairness, and justice. It's a shame that you, who were brought up by the old Gang Leader, would use a dying old man to threaten others. Even if we succeed, how would the world see us? Would they still trust our Peacekeeping Gang?" Du Ge glared at Liu Cheng and scolded, "We need to solve the problem uprightly, find the murderer, and re-establish the public's trust in us. That's the right way."
Yes, yes, you're right!
The old Gang Leader wasn't severely injured by you, and it wasn't you who threatened others with his fingers...
You're noble, you're great!
I'm the villain, okay!
If I give you any more advice, I'll be your son...
Liu Cheng's eye twitched as he complained in his heart: "Gang Leader, what should we do?"
"The enemy is in the dark, we are in the light. We are short of hands. It's not realistic to investigate the murderer with our current strength. We need to find some helpers." Du Ge turned to look at Feng Zhong, "Feng Zhong, write a few invitations. Invite the leaders of the Three Gates and Five Sects stationed here in Luyang City to discuss matters. Tell them we want to establish a Peacekeeping Joint Control and Defense Alliance, inviting them to uphold the morality of the martial world and maintain peace with us."
Liu Cheng was stunned, looking at Du Ge with a strange expression. This had nothing to do with finding the murderer, right?
What the hell?
You can't even protect yourself, and you still want others to uphold justice with you?
Besides, those are people from the Three Gates and Five Sects. Even the old Gang Leader didn't dare to do this. The Peacekeeping Gang, with less than five hundred members, why would they listen to you?
How big is your face?
At this moment, Liu Cheng suddenly regretted joining this damn Peacekeeping Gang. If he had known that Du Ge was such an eccentric guy, he shouldn't have come back to report. He should have turned around and left, wandering the world...
Feng Qi's actions were always unexpected, and Feng Zhong didn't know what he was going to do. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother Qi, isn't it too early to provoke the Three Gates and Five Sects at this time?"
"It's not too early." Du Ge smiled, "Upholding the morality of the martial world is the responsibility and duty of every martial artist. By maintaining a beautiful living environment together, everyone can live a better life!"
