The sudden noise made us stiffen. It was the sound of the bathroom door being pushed open. Gosh, there was the sound of running water. Did we make too much noise and Little Cherry noticed?
"Sis Meizi …" Soon, Little Cherry's voice came from the bathroom. The strange thing was that she didn't come out.
"What's wrong?" Sister-in-law sounded a little unnatural.
"Can you come here for a while?"
Little Cherry seemed to have encountered some problems. Since the bathroom was behind the screen, there was a blind spot.
However, my sister-in-law pushed my hand away and wanted to stand up. Her subconscious action caused my men to stick their hands into her. I almost threw my gun and disarmed myself.
Sister-in-law's body shivered and she hurriedly covered her mouth. It would be awkward if she screamed. Flustered, she stood up and adjusted her pajamas. Then, she walked to the bathroom door.
It turned out Little Cherry was on her period, and it wasn't convenient for her to come out. That was why she asked my sister-in-law to give her a sanitary pad. It scared me to death. I thought my cousin would catch me in the act if I caught him red-handed. I was afraid he would die of anger.
Just like what sister-in-law had said, all along, my cousin had a subconscious belief that he was better than me in every aspect. This was also the mindset he had since he was young. Now, he realized that he couldn't do anything in front of me. He had already suffered a setback, and the only thing he could be proud of was that he had a beautiful wife. If he saw sister-in-law fight me for real, he might die of anger on the spot.
Sigh, it was better to hide it from him. That way, he wouldn't have to feel any psychological burden and he wouldn't have to extort money from me again. Thinking about it, ever since my cousin had violated a girl when he was young and kicked her, his life was destined to be filled with tragic colors. He wasn't a eunuch, but he was worse than a eunuch. For a man, it was definitely a hurdle that he couldn't get over. Moreover, my husband and I didn't have much time together, so my cousin could only transfer his depression to gambling. My family used to be in a difficult situation, and my uncle had helped a lot. After all, my cousin was his precious son. That was also why I didn't leave him to die.
After giving me the sanitary pad, Sister-in-law rolled her eyes at me. If Little Cherry wasn't about to come out, I really wanted to pounce on her.
"You little rascal, don't even think about it anymore." Sister-in-law pouted. It was obviously very comfortable, and she was still blaming her. It seemed like she didn't serve him well enough.
Not long after, Little Cherry walked out. She had washed the clothes and was also sitting on the sofa watching television. "Hey, Sister Meizi, why are there a few red marks on your neck?"
"Ah."
Sister-in-law was already feeling a little guilty, but she didn't expect Little Cherry to be so observant and even capture this detail.
"Maybe he was bitten by some bugs. You'd better wear more clothes in case you get bitten too." The sister-in-law blushed and quickly explained.
"Oh, I see …" Little Cherry smiled mischievously.
I was a little absent-minded. After saying goodbye, I returned to my room. It was precisely because of sister-in-law's silent efforts that I had to train even harder. I couldn't lose the battle in half a month, nor could I afford to lose.
There were too many responsibilities on my shoulders. I first stabilized the Dantian. Zhao Wente's move was too fatal. He probably planned to shatter my Dantian so that I would become an ordinary person. Fortunately, my physique was quite strong. If it was a normal master in the early stage of Obvious Strength, they would have been unable to take it.
I used my Qi-Jin to circulate the Dantian. There seemed to be a ball of light green halo. Although the recovery was slow, it was still effective. I kept repeating the process until the sky brightened. I exhaled and felt much more relaxed. I had more or less recovered.
The next day, when I was eating with Little Cherry, Chief Feng contacted me again. I purposely made a phone call to the Health Department. It seemed that the Zhao family had intentionally spread the news. Basically, the people in the upper class of Yun City had gotten the news. The most excited was the Hongxing Gang. They had been enemies with me for a long time, but their strength was far from Zhao Wente's.
After all, they were afraid that I was a genuine Covert Jing expert. If that was the case, the Hongxing Gang would suffer a disaster. For a genius like Zhao Wente, it would be easy for him to deal with the people of the Hongxing Gang. Those bullsh * t hall masters would be beaten half to death, and the Hongxing Gang wouldn't be able to do anything about it. Even Qu Yihu's trump card, Shadow Killer, was only at the late stage of Overt Jing. His strength was far from Zhao Wente's.
However, when the higher-ups of the Hongxing Gang found out that I wasn't a Hidden Strength warrior, they heaved a sigh of relief. At least, they didn't have to worry about me anymore. Moreover, they could sit back and watch the show. To them, I was a thorn in their flesh. They could use the Zhao family to get rid of me.
However, the higher-ups of the Hongxing Gang heaved a sigh of relief when they found out that I wasn't a Dark Jing martial artist. At the very least, they didn't have to be on tenterhooks. Moreover, they could sit back and watch the show now that I was in conflict with the Zhao Family. To them, I was a thorn in their side.
The second happiest was the Tiger Head Gang. Previously, they had failed to recruit me. At that time, Qu Yihu had personally tried to test me, but he had been rebuffed. However, this matter hadn't been made public, so only a few people knew about it. Now that I had caused such a ruckus, the members of the Tiger Head Gang were also very satisfied.
As the saying goes, when some are happy, some are sad. Chief Feng was the most worried one. I could hear the anxiety in his voice. At this time, it was good enough for him to call me to explain the situation. If it was someone who was afraid of death, he would have cut off all contact with me.
Actually, Chief Feng was also afraid that the Blood Wolf Gang would be implicated. This was the result of his many years of hard work. He sighed. He thought that it would be difficult for Zhao Wente to break through. After all, this hurdle was too difficult. He had tried a few times before, but they all ended in failure. Perhaps the Zhao family had gathered all their power to cultivate such a monstrous genius.
Indeed, if Zhao Wente hadn't broken through, I still had the power to fight. However, this hurdle had widened the gap between us.
Chief Feng had been hiding the news. He didn't dare to tell the Blood Wolf Gang. Once everyone knew about it, they would definitely cause a ruckus. However, the truth couldn't be hidden forever. If the other two underground forces took the chance to cause trouble, the news might be leaked. At that time, the Blood Wolf Gang would be in a mess, and Chief Feng wouldn't know what to do.
Although he didn't reprimand me, his sad tone touched me. I felt like an old man at the end of his life.
I pondered for a while, "Chief Feng, if there's no other way, tell the Blood Wolf Gang that I have dissolved the cooperation. I will take responsibility for what I have done. I won't implicate the Blood Wolf Gang. Oh right, if I fail, I hope that you can take good care of Little Cherry. She's very pitiful. Don't let her sell herself.
