The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 176 - 180: The Underworld Boss’s Little Sweetheart (12)

Chapter 176: Chapter 180: The Underworld Boss’s Little Sweetheart (12)

"Master Hu, ask someone to bring some tea over."

Soon, Master Hu personally brought over a teacup.

Once again, looking toward Su Li, his gaze softened with reassurance and kindness.

Mr. Huang, ever composed, calmly had Master Hu push his wheelchair a bit closer.

Su Li immediately smiled broadly, consciously taking the appropriately warm teacup in both hands, bowing slightly, and respectfully handing it over, "Godfather, please have some tea."

"Ah, good..." Mr. Huang said contentedly as he took it, sipping lightly, and then pulled an unregistered Black Card from his pocket, "Spend as you wish; there’s no limit."

Watching Mr. Huang’s generous gesture, Master Hu chuckled on the side.

"This card has been prepared for many years, but there has never been a child or a descendant worthy of his notice. After being idle for so many years, it’s finally been given away, and he finally gets to experience the feeling of being an elder."

Mr. Huang, who had always remained stoic, now added a rare tinge of embarrassment to his aged, wrinkled face, "Stop talking nonsense, making my daughter laugh."

Su Li also started laughing, her attitude even more respectful, "Thank you, godfather."

Then she generously secured the Black Card into her bosom.

Mr. Huang said, "These next few days, there’s no need for you to go back. Stay and learn about the gang’s affairs with Master Hu. In three days, it will also be time to meet the uncles in the hall."

Su Li’s gaze hardened slightly, fearing that this was the ultimate test given by her newly appointed godfather.

Despite her serving him tea and accepting him as her godfather, and his current amiable appearance, if she could not handle the tough battle by herself after three days, this man was likely to turn ruthlessly.

The other members of the gang hall were all tough characters; if Su Li couldn’t suppress them, Mr. Huang would likely be just mildly disappointed and turn to find the next promising candidate.

And Su Li, who intended to snatch the prey from the tiger’s mouth, would likely meet a grim fate.

Opportunity and danger were equally present.

However, Su Li wasn’t afraid.

Master Hu was very patient and, after developing Su Li’s responsive abilities, quickly went through the main business operations of the hall over the years with her.

Perhaps this time Mr. Huang really did have precise judgment and had picked a gem.

Three days later, the hall’s big bosses rarely convened under Mr. Huang’s summoning.

"Does anyone know what Big Brother is trying to do today? The last time so many brothers gathered together was ten years ago."

A bald man with a full beard spoke loudly, his eyes gleaming as they swept over the others.

As he spoke, the tattoos inked on his shiny scalp seemed to move as well, revealing a fierce face.

"Maybe Big Brother just wants to see us. After all, it’s rare for all the brothers to gather like this; why think too much?"

The one who spoke was the youngest-looking person there, a young man wearing glasses with a scholarly appearance, unlike someone from the underworld but more like a young scholar engrossed in academics at a university.

But seeing how everyone present was treating him with a type of caution that kept a certain distance, he knew this was more than meets the eye—a not-so-simple character that everyone instinctively feared.

As soon as the bald man opened his mouth and was immediately snubbed, he felt indignant, but the sight of the person who spoke deflated his rising anger, like a balloon being punctured, and it fizzled out.

The bald man’s lips twitched several times, but in the end, he didn’t speak, only spitting resentfully in his mind before turning his head away.

The others, who had initially wanted to probe for information among themselves, saw the rather tense atmosphere and even the usually unruly and lawless Hu Wen had fallen silent, each of them silently observing, without a word.

Guo seemed calm and casual, playing with the lighter in his hands, but inside, his mind was in turmoil.

He had information more accurate than anyone else present. Though he couldn’t plant someone close to Mr. Huang, he had managed to place someone on the periphery.

According to the insider, Master Hu had been seen at the gang’s headquarters these past few days with a very beautiful woman.

Some of the old-timers who had followed Mr. Huang for many years also appeared at Mr. Huang’s residence in the past few days.

Guo speculated that Mr. Huang’s order must be related to this woman but couldn’t figure out the specifics.

It was true that in his younger days, Mr. Huang had the typical male inclination, couldn’t resist a pretty face, but in recent years, he had been steadfast in self-restraint.

And even if he were interested, his body wouldn’t allow it. So Guo was even more puzzled by Master Hu flaunting a beautiful woman around.

Ultimately, Master Hu’s action must have been hinted at by Mr. Huang.

Talk about lovers? Impossible, it couldn’t be...

Suddenly, Guo thought of a possibility, but just as quickly dismissed it.

He chuckled, ridiculing his own absurdity. It was a delicate beauty, after all. If Master Hu had been seen with a tough young man, he’d have been nervous, but a woman...

Ha ha ha...

Just as he was thinking, Guo soon saw the beautiful woman described by the insider.

When he saw her in person, he realized the descriptions had been inadequate; she wasn’t merely pretty, she was stunningly gorgeous.

Even the fierce-looking Hu Wen, whose mind was typically filled with thoughts of fighting and killing, stared slack-jawed. If Mr. Huang hadn’t been there, he probably wouldn’t have been able to restrain himself and would have tried to take her away then and there.

Mr. Huang led the way, Su Li and Master Hu walking a step behind on either side, both seemingly supporting Mr. Huang’s arms.

Su Li, who was hiding behind Mr. Huang, began surreptitiously scrutinizing everyone in the room as soon as she entered.

Comparing them against the information in her mind.

There were several formidable figures present, but only two or three were notable and worth attention.

One was a smiling young man, Guo, who sat at the table—don’t be fooled by his scholarly appearance, his methods were ruthless, and once he acted, he was like a mad dog, the type no one wanted to provoke.

Another was the man known as Hu Wen, the bald one, carrying a fierce, blood-stained aura, clearly one whose hands had been stained by countless people’s blood and tears.

And then there was one more... sitting in a corner, the least noticeable, his voice hoarse from smoke and assassination attempts, and his left face scarred. He was known on the streets as Scar.
