When they saw themselves kneeling on the ground, everyone was utterly bewildered.
They couldn't recall why they were kneeling.
"Ah!"
A scream drew everyone's attention.
Upon seeing Chairman Meng lying on the ground, covered in blood, the crowd was beyond shocked.
"What's going on?"
"This... what happened?"
"Boss..."
Even Chairman Meng himself was stunned. How had he ended up like this?
How had he been injured? Why did he have no memory of it?
"You can get lost," Qin Hanchu waved them away like flies.
Although they didn't know why this had happened, he had no energy to deal with them now. It was best to leave first.
The group helped each other up. Chairman Meng was carried out by the KTV staff.
Qin Hanchu's family, however, was not about to let this ruin their mood. They continued singing at the KTV.
As a shadowy organization, the Brothers Alliance inevitably clashed with other factions.
If they went to a regular hospital, it would surely alert the authorities.
For this reason, the Brothers Alliance had invested in its own hospital.
Although this hospital was not very large, it was fully equipped to handle surgical procedures.
The previously idle hospital became busy due to the arrival of Chairman Meng and his men.
Dozens of subordinates had their limbs broken, and Chairman Meng's four limbs were crippled, shocking all the hospital staff.
Which force had the Brothers Alliance gone up against?
They were injured so severely!
It wasn't until late at night that Chairman Meng finally woke up from the anesthesia.
By then, he had been wrapped up like a mummy.
"My dear, you're awake!" His wife cried out in surprise when she saw Chairman Meng stir.
"How am I?" Chairman Meng felt as though his body no longer belonged to him.
"This..."
Seeing his wife's expression, Chairman Meng had a bad feeling. "What's wrong?"
"Let the strategist tell you."
Chairman Meng's wife turned and left the ward.
A moment later, the strategist entered with a few other people.
Seeing that Chairman Meng was awake, the strategist said, "Boss, you're awake."
"Is my injury serious?" Chairman Meng asked urgently.
The strategist sighed. "Your four limbs have been crippled. The doctors say they can't be healed."
"What? I... I've become a cripple?" Chairman Meng roared in disbelief.
The strategist sighed, feeling a sense of feigned sympathy. "Don't worry, boss. I'll manage the alliance for you. Don't worry about anything else."
Chairman Meng was no fool. He knew exactly what the strategist meant.
Now that he was crippled, the strategist intended to usurp his power.
Despite his anger, Chairman Meng dared not roar at the strategist.
He was not what he used to be. Who would fear him now?
Chairman Meng's wife also said, "My dear, you should focus on recovering. Leave the alliance matters to the strategist and the other brothers."
Chairman Meng, already furious, was almost choked with rage!
As his wife spoke, she was secretly exchanging glances with the strategist.
These two had colluded!
Chairman Meng knew he had become a disposable pawn.
If he didn't know his place, he might not see tomorrow's sun.
With his wife as an insider, the strategist could easily control everything.
"In my current state, I can no longer manage the Brothers Alliance. As long as you can help me get revenge, I will pass on the position of chairman to you."
Chairman Meng knew that his power being usurped was irreversible. All he wanted now was to kill Baili Caixia.
Upon hearing this, the strategist's eyes lit up.
Although he already controlled the Brothers Alliance, he could not legitimately become chairman as long as Chairman Meng was alive.
Now, if he killed Baili Caixia, he could legitimately take over the Brothers Alliance.
However, this joy lasted only a few seconds before disappearing.
Chairman Meng was inexplicably shot by his own bullet, and they inexplicably knelt on the ground.
Baili Caixia and the other two were too strange.
Making enemies with these three was very dangerous.
If handled poorly, he might end up like Chairman Meng.
The strategist did not want to become a cripple like Chairman Meng.
"Boss, do you know how your injuries were caused?" the strategist asked.
"What do you mean?" Chairman Meng asked, puzzled.
"Your legs and right arm were penetrated by bullets, and they were fired from your own gun."
"And none of us remember you being shot."
"Those three are too bizarre. Making enemies with them is not a wise move," the strategist said thoughtfully.
Chairman Meng was shocked. "What did you say? My own gun shot me? I... I have no memory of it at all? I don't even know how I got hurt."
"We don't know either. That's the strange part."
Chairman Meng was furious. "It must be some kind of poison. We were all drugged."
The strategist nodded. "That's possible. Are you sure you want to transfer the chairman's position to me?"
"As long as you can capture those three and bring them before me to kill, I will keep my promise," Chairman Meng said.
"I will send snipers to kill them directly," the strategist said.
Chairman Meng nodded. "Alright, but I want to see the bodies."
"No problem."
The strategist was much smarter than Chairman Meng. He chose to play dirty with Qin Hanchu and the other two.
As long as he had them assassinated, the Brothers Alliance would be his.
Besides the Brothers Alliance, even Chairman Meng's wife would become his woman.
...
The next morning, a ray of sunshine streamed into the bedroom.
Qin Hanchu was sleeping soundly, embracing Axiang on the soft bed.
Just then, Axiang in his arms lazily turned over, her jade arm resting on Qin Hanchu's waist.
Qin Hanchu slowly opened his eyes. He felt refreshed and invigorated.
Although Immortals and Gods could cultivate instead of sleeping, the feeling of sleeping was truly comfortable.
Sensing that Qin Hanchu had woken up, Axiang also opened her eyes. "Not sleeping anymore?"
"Shall we do morning exercises?" Qin Hanchu chuckled.
"Too lazy to bother with you!"
Two hours later, Qin Hanchu and Axiang finally walked out of the room.
"Mom and Dad, you really know how to sleep," Baili Caixia said with a hint of frustration as she sat in the living room watching television, seeing the two coming down from upstairs.
"We haven't slept properly in decades, so we need to sleep a little longer," Qin Hanchu said with a light smile. "Why are you in such a hurry to get up?"
"Of course, I want to eat breakfast." Baili Caixia glanced at the time and sighed. "It's almost noon, so we'll have to combine two meals into one."
"Let's go, let's go shopping first," Axiang said with a smile.
Baili Caixia picked up the car keys. "I'll go get the car."
Axiang smiled at Qin Hanchu, then took his arm and walked out of the villa.
At that moment, Baili Caixia arrived beside them, driving a luxury car.
Qin Hanchu first opened the car door for Axiang, and then they both sat in the back seat.
