487 10 Days Limi (1/2)

The recording was proof that made things clear as day. What more, the words came straight out of Hu Gaoyi's very own mouth!

The truth never takes sides save for the one called 'justice'. And nothing could be done to stop it!

Meanwhile, the disciples of the Iron Gut Factions squirmed, somehow starting to feel actual physical pains all over. Some of them knew it was one almighty and fatal blow against their faction – it was, after all, too common a scene that was too often used in tv dramas and soap operas.

Either way, the truth was out in the open now.

”Hmph! Hu Haifeng, of everything you spouted, even the punctuations were all fake! Did you really think that you could fool us that easily?” Luo Han bellowed, flailing his arms and shooting a glare that could decapitate the faction leader. ”Seize that man and throw him into prison! 500 whips and 10 days of jailtime for that conniving bastard!”

”Understood!”

Two men from the law enforcer team quickly grabbed Hu Haifeng and handcuffed him with both his hands behind his back.

”Urgh… I…” Hu Haifeng was speechless; his face was as white as sheet paper.

How clever he was, thinking that he could push the blame and have Chen Xiaobei dance between his fingers. Little did he know that the youth was one step ahead of him all the time by secretly recording all their conversations!

And now, there was nothing he could do after the truth was revealed. As the Six Doors officers came at him, Hu Haifeng did not dare to even flinch.

Now, he faces 500 whippings that were more than enough to have his flesh striped from his bones. If he had tried anything funny, he would be resisting arrest – another crime that would only make his punishment more severe. If that really happened, he might lose half of his remaining lifespan.

”Asshole Xiaobei! That's so smart of you!” cried Xiaoyao. ”I thought you were only playing with your phone like you always do. I never thought you were actually using your phone to record the conversation!”

”We're so lucky to have that recorded…” Murong Tian muttered. ”How else could the four of us counter the testimony of all 200 mouths of the Iron Gut Faction…”

Jinliu put his hands together and bowed at Chen Xiaobei with utmost respect. ”Mr. Chen is a young hero, with both brains and brawns!” He exclaimed. ”It's an honor!”

Chen Xiaobei did nothing but smile lightly in return. He was still calm as a cucumber – everything went as planned for him, which meant that there was nothing to be excited about.

”Hmph. Seems like it's my loss,” Hu Haifeng snarled. ”However! You may have won this battle, but you've not won the war just yet. In 10 days… 10 days, I will come for you! All things Jianghu will be settled within Jianghu. An eye for on eye, a tooth for a tooth! I will come for you, mark my words!”

”What are you still babbling about? Officers! Take him away!” Luo Han growled.

The other officers nodded and quickly moved Hu Haifeng out of sight, while Chen Xiaobei and the rest followed the other officers and descended the mountain.

Along the way, over 200 members of the Iron Gut Factions stood idly by. Without a leader, they were mere sheep roaming without proper directions; they would not dare to dissolve the faction by leaving the mountain either.

Still, for Chen Xiaobei and his allies, their problems were solved.

After leaving the mountain and bringing everyone back to the Wolong Mansion, Chen Xiaobei told his parents that Murong Tian and Jinliu were hired as gardeners, and that Murong Xiaoyao – Murong Tian's daughter was also staying with them.

His parent never suspected a thing, and even welcomed them to the house by preparing their rooms.

During their stay, Xiaoyao was completely respectful, and helped Mrs Chen around the house all day. Mrs Chen quickly grew fond of the her, showering incessant praises on her for being such a fine young lady.

After the ordeal, everyone rested and slept soundly until the next day.

Both Murong Tian and Jinliu were up early to make their debut as gardener. Murong Tian did exceptionally well, too; he was a veteran when it came to botany. Watching him tending to the flowers was almost zen – it did not look like he was working at all.
