Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 579 - 401: Hit Them Hard the Moment They Show Up!_3

As they spoke, Shen Jinzhong and his men continued forward. One of his underlings was actually holding a stone.

This was Li Qi’s suggestion. Indeed, Shen Jinzhong hadn’t secured his footing. Killing the prominent Chu Huaijun would be the perfect way for him to establish his position.

Chu Huaijun glanced at Yuan Xionghui and said in a lowered voice, "Call for help! Quickly, call for people!"

Shen Jinzhong exclaimed loudly, "Today, I’m only after Chu Huaijun! This has nothing to do with anyone else!"

Still, there was no response from Yingchun Tower, and the people around Chu Huaijun started looking at each other.

After his father died, he had fought his way out from among his brothers and sisters.

...

At two o’clock in the morning, Yuan Xionghui, covered in wounds, supported Chu Huaijun back to their outer residence.

This outer residence was quite concealed; not many people knew about it. Yuan Xionghui administered some rudimentary first aid to Chu Huaijun’s wounds and said through gritted teeth, "Master, just you wait! Tomorrow, I will gather our forces and flatten the Three Heroes Gang!"

Chu Huaijun waved his hand. "Let’s talk about that later. Tomorrow, sign a document and directly hand over half of the Hundred Joy Gate to Chief Envoy Liao."

"Directly hand it over?" Yuan Xionghui was stunned. "Master, do you mean to give it away without even recouping the initial investment?"

"What capital are you talking about? If the Border Defense Envoy really abandons us, we’re finished! The Three Heroes Gang, the He Family, the Lu Family, not to mention Li Qi and Ma Wu—wouldn’t every single one of them come to destroy us? What’s half of Hundred Joy Gate? If it’s gone, it’s gone!"

"Is that yours to give away?" a voice suddenly came from outside the residence.

Yuan Xionghui immediately stood up, but Chu Huaijun gestured for him to stay put.

With a CREAK, the door was pushed open.

A woman stepped in. She wore a white top hat with a black veil, and a black-and-white, floor-length cheongsam. Her foundation was snow white, her eyeshadow a dark blue-black, and her lipstick a deep red. Step by step, she entered the house.

"Huaiyuan, listen to me. I did this for the sake of our family—"

"Big brother, we’re not one family; we separated long ago," Chu Huaiyuan said, looking down, her eyes turned upward to face Chu Huaijun. "What’s mine is mine. If you touch my things, then you’re the one in the wrong."

Chu Huaijun gave a cold snort. "Huaiyuan, is this how you should be talking to me?"

Chu Er also laughed. "Then how do you think I should speak?"

Chu Huaijun lit a cigarette. "Yes, I took your things. What can you do about it?"

Chu Er didn’t say a word.

Yuan Xionghui tugged at Chu Huaijun’s sleeve from the side.

PS: In Chapter 393, Li Banfeng once warned Luo Zhengnan to keep an eye on the Chu Family and to message him immediately if they made any move.

"Hit them hard the moment they show their faces"—he hadn’t just been saying that casually.
