"What are you panicking for?" Despite her heart thudding rapidly, Madam Huang quickly regained her composure. "Even if Second Uncle has dug up the grave, so what? After all this time, especially in such hot weather, the corpse must have thoroughly decomposed. Besides, wasn’t his face already dealt with before?"
"Yeah, brother-in-law, it’s been over half a year, and with the weather so hot, the corpse definitely must have decomposed a long time ago." Huang Yongnian breathed a sigh of relief, "So, there’s nothing to worry about... no worries..."
Zhou Hai finally relaxed as well, nodding mechanically: "No worries..."
"But big sister, the people you found for this job, there’s no problem with them, is there?" Madam Huang glanced at Huang Yongnian.
"No problem." Huang Yongnian shook his head, "They’re all veterans. They didn’t leave behind a single clue."
Madam Huang exhaled deeply: "That’s good."
Jiuzhou Gambling House, Changping County.
Even though it was night, the gambling house was still brightly lit and bustling with noise throughout its two floors.
At a table for betting on big or small on the first floor, a short man was excitedly shouting. He had already won three times in a row, with a sizable pile of Silver in front of him.
"Come on, bet..." Just as he was shouting to continue betting, someone leaned in behind him. He couldn’t help but stiffen.
"Danianzi, are you betting or not?" The crowd around him, seeing him hesitate, couldn’t help but shout.
Someone whispered into the ear of the person called Danianzi: "If you don’t want to die, come with me."
"Not betting, not betting, I’ll come back tomorrow." Danianzi chuckled, picking up the Silver and stashing it in his bosom, then turned around and walked toward the exit. However, just as he reached the doorway, he deftly spun and ducked into the crowd, running towards the back door. He then made his way out of the gambling house with practiced ease, ended up on the back street, glanced behind him, and noting that the person from before hadn’t followed, he chuckled smugly twice, "Thinking of catching me? Dream on..."
But before he could finish gloating about being ’too young,’ he felt a chill on his neck. Then, a gleaming broadsword rested on his shoulder, causing him to stumble and fall to his knees: "Spare me, hero..."
"Behave yourself." Lin Weiming kicked Danianzi, "Take him away."
Immediately, two guards came up and, like picking up chicks, hauled Danianzi away.
In a courtyard not far from the gambling house, Zhou Jiang looked at the man kneeling in front of him and sneered, "So, you’re Danianzi?"
Danianzi swallowed hard, thinking to himself, which ’Fairy’ had he offended now?
"Our General is talking to you, answer quickly!" Lin Weiming barked sharply.
"General?" Danianzi was taken aback, wondering how he had managed to offend a general.
"This is our valiant General." Lin Weiming, incensed, stepped forward and kicked Danianzi again, "Keep playing the fool, and you’ll be executed on the spot."
"General, spare my life..." Danianzi, even more frightened, started to kowtow vigorously, "I... I am indeed called Danianzi..."
"Do you know Huang Yongnian?" Zhou Jiang didn’t want to waste time with verbal sparring, so he cut straight to the chase, "What dirty business have you done with him? Spit it out clearly, or else..." As he spoke, he grabbed the broadsword resting on the table with one big hand, a flick of his wrist sending the treasured blade flying out of its scabbard and straight towards Danianzi.
