170: Using a cleaver to kill a chicken, what’s the harm?
At Rose Manor, in Xue Mei’s villa, in the second-floor master bedroom.
“What are you planning to do about Azure Dragon’s side?”
However, it was clear that Lin Fei hadn’t forgotten the threat that loomed over Xue Mei.
Well, to be exact, the threat that faced the two of them together.
“This time, they were able to assassinate Elder Wei because their ‘Second Master’ brought back a group of experts from abroad.
Although they succeeded in their attack on Elder Wei, they also suffered a heavy loss.
Furthermore, they’ve been under investigation for their actions recently, so it’s unlikely they will make another move on us anytime soon.
During this time, I plan to call all our people back to Rose Manor.”
Xue Mei clearly hadn’t lost her sanity over Elder Wei’s incident.
Of course, this didn’t mean Xue Mei was not planning to take revenge for Elder Wei.
In terms of strength, Thorny Rose was indeed inferior to Azure Dragon.
Moreover, these days, Thorny Rose’s places have been continuously harassed by Azure Dragon’s people, and they have already lost quite a few members.
In such a situation, it wouldn’t be suitable to clash head-on with Azure Dragon.
Rose Manor is the stronghold of Thorny Rose, and Xue Mei is calling everyone back there.
Firstly, it can reduce unnecessary casualties, and secondly, if Azure Dragon were to attack in full force, they would then have the power to fight back with the advantage of the terrain.
“Do you have evidence?!” Lin Fei had naturally understood Xue Mei’s intention to use giving up most of their places as bait to lure Azure Dragon’s people into Rose Manor.
However, Lin Fei was more concerned about the matter mentioned by Xue Mei.
Lin Fei absolutely loathed drugs, as they not only harm others and oneself, but they could also destroy families and lives.
There have been numerous such examples.
When he was abroad, Lin Fei had personally led people to eradicate several major drug lords.
“Evidence, I don’t have any.
But there is one thing I am certain about.
There are definitely people from Azure Dragon working in the shadows in all their places.
It would be absolutely impossible if there wasn’t any support from Azure Dragon behind this.
I have sent people to track down those who deal in drugs, but they only contact through isolated channels.
Moreover, they change their personnel every now and then.
“Do you Thorny Rose have any similar business?”
“No, absolutely not!” Xue Mei flatly denied Lin Fei’s speculation.
“When my father was in charge, we Thorny Rose never got involved in that business.
After I took over, I also expressly prohibited any of our members from getting involved.”
In fact, after Xue Mei had taken over Thorny Rose, the entire organization had started to go legit.
Now, the legal industries of Thorny Rose clearly outnumber the grey areas.
“Do you have any detailed intelligence on Azure Dragon’s high-ranking officers?”
While Xue Mei spoke, Lin Fei’s gaze fixed intently on her charming phoenix eyes.
Therefore, Lin Fei was basically certain that Xue Mei wasn’t lying.
As a result, while Lin Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his killing intent toward Azure Dragon skyrocketed to its peak in an instant.
Lin Fei was never one to sit and wait for death; Azure Dragon had made attempts on his life time and time again, which had already aroused his desire to kill.
“What do you want to do?!” As if sensing the killing intent at the core of Lin Fei’s heart, Xue Mei’s pretty eyes slightly tensed, and her hand instinctively grasped Lin Fei’s.
The killing intent in Lin Fei’s eyes flashed but for a moment, “Kill!”
Though it was but a simple word, the momentary yet tangible killing intent in Lin Fei’s eyes still managed to alarm Xue Mei, the Chairman of Thorny Rose from Zhonghai City.
However, the momentary shock that Lin Fei gave her was more frightening than any bloody scene she had ever remembered.
In that instant, Xue Mei felt as if she saw an image of mountains of corpses and seas of blood in Lin Fei’s eyes!
Not to mention the chill Lin Fei instilled in her very soul, the courage he showcased—declaring a one-man stand against Azure Dragon Gang—was enough to command her utmost respect.
Being herself, how could Xue Mei not be aware of Azure Dragon’s strength?
Even she, the Chairman of Thorny Rose, needed to be on the defensive.
Yet Lin Fei was now poised to take on Azure Dragon single-handedly.
If Xue Mei wasn’t sure that Lin Fei possessed strength comparable or even superior to Elder Wei’s, she might have thought he was insane.
However, because she knew the extent of Lin Fei’s abilities, that was precisely why Xue Mei was so taken aback.
Because, if Lin Fei were truly to act this way.
Whether successful or not.
“How confident are you?” Having been rivals for not just a day or two, clearly, Xue Mei had quite a bit of personal information on the upper ranks of Azure Dragon.
“Not much, just a hundred percent.”
Lin Fei evidently wasn’t joking; a single Azure Dragon was clearly not something he considered a challenge.
When he was abroad, he had faced and destroyed forces far greater than Azure Dragon.
If there were a single phrase to describe Lin Fei’s action against Azure Dragon, it would be—using a cleaver to kill a chicken.
