I Just Won't Play By The Book

“Sure, help me kill that third young master first. Otherwise, any annoying brats can sh*t on my head. How am I supposed to be the boss?”

“Sure, since the plan has failed and the manpower is available now, I’ll talk to the higher-ups.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you to fulfill your promise. Is there nothing else?”

“No, go ahead.”

Putting away his pipe, Xue Qiu walked up the stairs. However, he turned around and shouted at the black-robed man, “Hey! Watch yourself. Don’t die on me.”

“Don’t worry, I know better than you.” “Humph, I’m leaving.” Xue Qiu left the secret room after saying that.

After returning to the hall, he tidied up his clothes and once again emitted the imposing manner of the leader of the Yellow Gang, Shen Lingwan.

“Young Master Jiang, we’re here.”

In front of a small town that looked somewhat dilapidated, Ah Niu lifted up the curtain and shouted.

“Thank you, Brother Ah Niu.” Jiang Beiran said as he walked out of the carriage. The dilapidated town in front of him was precisely the Suitong Town.

Kong Qianqian, who had already stayed in the carriage for a few days, couldn’t wait to follow Jiang Beiran down.

“This is my first time coming to a small town in Rivernorth,” Kong Qianqian shouted excitedly.

Jiang Beiran smiled and said, “Is it not as prosperous as your small town in Riversouth?”

“No, there are many dilapidated small towns in Riversouth. The town I grew up in is especially dilapidated. It’s much more dilapidated than this one.”

At this time, Mu Yao also jumped out of the car and looked carefully at Suitong Town in front of her.

Seeing the two of them get out of the car, Jiang Beiran turned around and said to Ah Niu, “Then Brother Ah Niu, wait for us outside. We’ll be back soon.” “Okay, I’ll wait for you here.”

Because Kong Qianqian was dressed in black like Mu Yao, covering most of her face, Jiang Beiran did not let them wear the Suit of Blending In. After all, it was different from cooking and music. The Suit of Blending In had a formation on it. If Mu Yao told his father about the features of Suit of Blending In, it was inevitable that the old man would have some new ideas about him.

Jiang Beiran brought Mu Yao and Kong Qianqian into the town at the same time. When he found that the system did not prompt a notification, he felt relieved. It seemed that they could carry out preliminary investigation. After walking in Suitong Town for a while, Jiang Beiran found that the town was quite “the same on the outside as on the inside.” The outside of the town was very shabby, and the inside was also very shabby. There was no market at all in the town, and there were only a few small stalls. Only a few children occasionally popped out and curiously looked at them a few times. The street could be said to be blizzardy quiet.

However, after asking for directions a few times, Jiang Beiran finally found a teahouse that was relatively lively. There were quite a number of people sitting inside. They were chatting, and some people were listening to storyteller.

As soon as she saw that there was a storyteller, Kong Qianqian immediately became excited.

However, just as she was about to rush out, she was caught by Jiang Beiran, who was already prepared.

“Don’t run around.”

“Yes…” Kong Qianqian answered and obediently stood behind Jiang Beiran. She found an empty seat in a corner and ordered two pots of White Milltea. Then, Jiang Beiran began to quietly gather the content of the others’ conversations.

However, after listening for some minutes, Jiang Beiran was somewhat surprised to find that the townspeople here actually seemed to be living in peace. There was actually not a single person who complained about the bullies or rich people in the town.

One had to know that when Jiang Beiran was doing his investigations in the past, he would sit in the teahouse. Within a moment, he would definitely hear someone sighing and complaining about who he had met recently and how he had been treated.

At least there would still be a few hooligans shouting, “I’m from the XX gang. In the future, if you guys have anything to say, just say my name, Bao Ling.” However, there was none of those in this teahouse. Everyone was really just gossiping about their daily life, such as what kind of fertilizer was applied on the land, and his little wife had come out to dry her clothes again today.

“Strange… Qing Huan said that there are people from the Yellow Gang in this place. How can It be so peaceful?”

After thinking for a while, Jiang Beiran said to the other two, “You two sit here. I’m going to ask around.”

After asking around, Jiang Beiran found a table of townsfolk who seemed to be more talkative. He went up and asked, “Brothers, do you mind having another cup?” The two townsfolk were also quite enthusiastic and said directly, “Sit, sit. Hey, little brother, you look unfamiliar. You are not from our town, right?” “You have good eyes. I am indeed not from this town. I came out to do some business with my father. As I passed by here, I wanted to pay my respect to the gang leader here for a safe journey.”

“Pay your respect to gang leader?” A middle-aged man wearing a blue headscarf beside Jiang Beiran smiled and said, “There’s no need. No one in our town will rob you.”

“Really?” Jiang Beiran asked in surprise. Then, he lowered his voice and asked, “I heard that there are people from the Yellow Gang nearby. Are you sure no one will rob us?”

“Hahaha, it seems that little brother hasn’t come here for a while. In the past, there were indeed people from the Yellow Gang in our town, but after the Mo-Yun Duo came to our town, the people from the yellow gang were all chased away.”

“The… Mo-Yun Duo?”

Jiang Beiran was a little confused. He had been in Rivernorth for so long, but he had never heard of such two people.

“That’s right! The Mo-Yun Duo! They are a pair of extremely powerful brothers. They fight for justice everywhere. Once they meet members of the Yellow Gang, they will never show mercy. The people here are very grateful to them.”

“I see. Thank you for your guidance. Then, I will be much more at ease.”

“Sigh, that’s right. With the Mo-Yun Duo, the people like us can finally live a good life.”
