Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

The license plates had been switched on the Xiali sedan, and the goods were already stashed in the gap beneath the car seat.

Qi Li leaned against the passenger seat, closed his eyes to rest, and smoked a cigarette.

The Scarred Underling was driving and glanced sideways with some hesitation, saying, ”Brother Li, we don’t really know Tan Ming’s background. Is it wise to hand over Snake Hunt to him?”

The Scarred Underling had two concerns, the most critical being that Li Yan might be a cop or have a personal connection with Snake Hunt. Either way, it might lead to Snake Hunt being saved, which would ruin their plans.

”What else can we do but give it to him in this situation?”

Qi Li snorted coldly, also feeling somewhat displeased, said, ”That Tan Ming is bloodthirsty, Snake Hunt’s old lair in the Provincial City was raided by him, he even captured Tie Ma and went on a killing spree in the tunnels. If a commotion had started just now, it would have been a real bloodbath. Don’t forget, we’re the ones delivering goods. If things get out of hand, the Eldest Young Master will skin us alive!”

Qi Li had roamed the Jianghu for many years and today he had suffered a silent defeat. With a knife at his throat, he had no choice but to concede and retreat.

Even though he hadn’t lost face, this was the first time he had backed down.

”That’s true...” The Scarred Underling was similarly shaken as he said, ”This Tan Ming is quite a ruthless character. In just a few days, the waters of the Provincial City have been muddied, and Snake Hunt was really something, stirring things up at this time, putting us at a huge disadvantage...”

Now that Snake Hunt was crippled, the Provincial City was effectively under the control of the Black Widow. Given this situation, every step they took from now on would be constrained. It’s important to know that the Provincial City is a key transportation hub, and no mistakes can be tolerated there.

”Heh, he got lucky. Snake Hunt pulled out abruptly, and we were caught off guard. Otherwise, how could he have found such a big opening?”

Thinking about it made Qi Li even angrier. He took another drag from his cigarette and said, ”Enough, stop thinking about all this nonsense! Confirming Tan Ming’s identity is the most important thing. The cops are watching closely now. If there’s a problem and it leads back to us, the Qi Family will be exposed!”

”Brother Li, how do we investigate...” The Scarred Underling, being a mere thug, had no idea how to handle such matters and looked a bit lost.

”Send someone to track down Snake Hunt! Check if they took him to a hospital for treatment or a private clinic for a consultation. Use the Qi Family’s connections to investigate in the Provincial City. Do I really need to teach you that?”

Qi Li was thoroughly infuriated now. Originally already angry, his underlings’ stupidity only heightened his frustration, leaving him with no peace.

”Yes, yes, Brother Li, I understand...”

The Scarred Underling quickly responded but then thought of another issue, asking, ”What if... they took him to a hospital...?”

”Damn it!” Qi Li delivered a fierce front kick, tossing his cigarette in anger, ”Then get rid of Snake Hunt! He knows too much, we absolutely can’t let him live! Are your brains made of wood? Can’t any of you think for yourselves?”

All these matters had accumulated to become Qi Li’s breaking point. He was like a powder keg now, liable to explode at any moment, with no way to stop him.

”Yes, yes...”

The Scarred Underling felt a wave of fear and didn’t dare to ask any more questions. All his words were swallowed back down, and he didn’t utter another word.
