My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

Chapter 201 - 201 Qin Huai’s Plan

201 Qin Huai’s Plan

Bang!

A thick stack of files smashed onto the stone table. Qin Huai’s soy milk trembled violently and almost spilled out.

“On the seventh day of the third month, Zhang Dagen was drinking at Huatian restaurant. He verbally insulted a young lady from my fourth household, causing a fight among his peers. In the end, he broke three of his ribs and his left hand.

“On the thirteenth of the third month, he caused trouble in the Jade Red Garden that my fourth branch is in charge of. For seven consecutive days, he caused the traffic in the Jade Red Garden to decrease greatly. I haven’t recovered my vitality yet.

“Guyu, a young man from my fourth branch, mysteriously disappeared when he was heading to September Hook. Someone saw Zhang Dagen’s figure on the same road…”

The more Li Buhu spoke, the angrier he got. The things he said were getting more and more outrageous.

In the beginning, Li Buhu was still holding the paper and reading it word by word. In the end, he looked directly at Qin Huai and recited it backwards.

The anger and killing intent in his words were not concealed.

When Qin Huai heard this, he frowned. He only knew that Zhang Dagen had provoked the fourth branch, but he didn’t know that this person would dare to go so far.

He could still tolerate it when it came to money, but he would really not rest until he died when it came to killing.

“What did the head say?” Qin Huai asked in a low voice.

Li Buhu sneered. “Ours is still a dogshit family. The third and fifth branches are gloating and can’t wait to be dogs for the Zhang family. They always attack my fourth branch at the family meeting… They said that they didn’t know how to read people and shouldn’t support Brother-in-law. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been targeted by Zhang Dagen.”

He gritted his teeth. “What kind of bullsh*t logic is this? Does he mean that whatever the Li family does and who we support, we have to get the approval of the Zhang family?”

“I think it’s the third and fifth branch. They’re used to being the Zhang family’s dogs… Their brains are broken.”

“That’s right, that’s right.” Li Buhu’s wife, Li Chunlan, also said angrily.

She was not a member of the Nine Dragons sect’s Li family, but the daughter of a wealthy merchant in the city. She and Li Buhu had met in a tavern where the hero saved the damsel in distress, but the hero was Li Chunlan.

Li Buhu, who had spent all his money on muscle training, went to the tavern to drink because of the Li family’s troubles. Li Buhu, who was already a repeat offender, had completely forgotten that he had agreed to pay the bill next time.

In the end, he drank too much and did not have the money to pay the bill. He was stopped by the tavern owner who could not take it anymore and shouted that he wanted to force him to the Nine Dragons sect to ask for money.

Fortunately, Li Chunlan spent a lot of money to pay off the debt, and the two of them started a relationship. The pair had been an interesting piece of news in the Li family two years ago. Qin Huai had heard about it from the women who washed clothes by the river.

Other than that, there was also many gossip and interesting news from the Nine Dragons sect that broadened Qin Huai’s horizons.

Li Buhu continued to be sarcastic. “The third and fifth branches treat themselves as members of the Zhang family, but the Zhang family doesn’t acknowledge them either.

“The day before yesterday, when the mines in the south settled their accounts, not only did Sect Master Zhang not give the third and fifth branches more shares, he even deducted the most from them. The reason is that they didn’t do their job well and were harassed by the Sacred Heart sect.”

Li Buhu laughed in anger as he spoke, “In the end, the people from the third and fifth branches even nodded their heads with a pleasant expression, as if they had received grace.”

Qin Huai listened to Li Buhu’s words and couldn’t help but feel that the people from the third and fifth households were too ridiculous. After kneeling for so long, they had gotten used to being a dog.

“There’s no cure.” Qin Huai lowered his voice. “What about the head?”

“He…” Li Buhu was instantly speechless. He looked at Qin Huai for a long time, unable to say a word.

“Just say what you want to say. It’s no big deal,” Qin Huai consoled.

Li Buhu sighed. “The family head told us to hold it in. He said that the time isn’t right yet and to keep a low profile. But our fourth branch has never wanted to cause trouble. That Zhang Dagen has already stepped on our heads. We can’t just endure it, right? Then what’s the point of practicing martial arts?”

Li Buhu cursed profusely. He began to let go and attack the Li family’s ridiculous behavior with all his might.

Qin Huai’s evaluation of his father-in-law, whom he had never interacted with, was only one word: weak.

Too weak.

Being weak wasn’t a reason to not fight back. Moreover, although the Li family was weak, they were not so weak that they could be slaughtered by the Zhang family.

Most importantly, it was too hurtful for Li Zeren to give in blindly. If this went on, perhaps one day, the Li family would be able to regain the strength to compete with the Zhang family.

No one had the heart to resist.

“Brother-in-law, Zhang Dagen likes to go to two places. One is to go to Huatian restaurant for a drink every seven days. After that, he will turn to Pear Yard across the street. That place is filled with women who have fled from the surrounding towns and even Lingjiang county…”

Li Buhu’s voice stopped abruptly, because Li Chunlan had already pinched his waist.

“Counting the days, there are still four days left.” Li Buhu moved closer to Qin Huai. “Brother-in-law, how are we going to punish Zhang Dagen? After all, that fellow is at the ninth refinement and has already cultivated force. I’m afraid it won’t be easy to make him suffer.”

Qin Huai was taken aback. “I never said I was going to punish him.”

“What? Then… Then why do you want me to keep an eye on Zhang Dagen?”

“Didn’t the fourth branch have a disciple who went missing? It’s not too much for the Zhang family to have one of their own disappear as well, right?” Qin Huai’s tone was calm.

“Brother-in-law, don’t scare me. Zhang Dagen’s strength is so great that very few people below the bone pattern realm can match him. Even if it’s Brother-in-law, I’m afraid you’re still quite lacking.”

Li Buhu was shocked. He did not expect that his brother-in-law would ask him to collect Zhang Dagen’s whereabouts not to punish him, but to make him disappear…
