Chapter 1446: Chapter 1337: We’re in Charge Now

"I don’t think so. The profits from Yanglong Pharmaceutical are that huge—how could they just hand them over to the Rooster Gang for nothing? Maybe Yanglong Pharmaceutical will ask the Huaxia Official for help. After all, this is the border of three countries; if Yue Country can step in, Huaxia naturally can too. In front of Huaxia, what is a mere Yue Country? Back then they were beaten all the way to their capital by Huaxia!"

A middle‑aged man wearing glasses said.

"But why should Huaxia help Yanglong Pharmaceutical?"

"Because of the profit, and the influence Yanglong Pharmaceutical brings. As long as Yanglong Pharmaceutical speaks up, just has to pay some price, I believe the Huaxia Official will lend a hand."

The middle‑aged man with glasses explained.

As soon as he said this, everyone nodded one after another, feeling it made some sense.

"I’m just afraid—" the middle‑aged man suddenly spoke again.

"Afraid of what?"

"Afraid the Huaxia Official won’t be satisfied with the small price Yanglong Pharmaceutical is willing to pay, and wants to wait until Yanglong Pharmaceutical gets seized by the Rooster Gang, then step in to grab it back. If that happens, I’m afraid—"

The middle‑aged man didn’t finish, but the crowd around him already understood. Their hearts all stirred. If it played out like that, Yanglong Pharmaceutical would end up as the sacrifice.

"Sigh, what a pity. Our Yanglong finally got such a big conglomerate. Not only has it driven Yanglong’s economic growth, it even took the initiative to spend its own money to build the city’s basic infrastructure. They genuinely wanted to develop our Yanglong—"

"Exactly. I just don’t get why this Yanglong Pharmaceutical wants to develop here. Wouldn’t it be better to go straight to the Huaxia inland? Then there’d be no risk!"

Someone asked in great puzzlement; naturally, they could never guess what was in Ye Qingfeng’s mind.

"Eh, the Rooster Gang people are moving out!"

Someone cried out in alarm.

Sure enough, a group from the Rooster Gang came streaming out of their base in a mighty formation.

There were at least fifty of them, all holding light submachine guns. Just these men alone were enough to confront the Mad Lion Gang, not to mention the two to three hundred‑strong main force behind them.

Let alone the military background behind the Rooster Gang.

"Where’s Kong Fangle of the Mad Lion Gang? Get out here. If you don’t surrender now, we’ll launch a direct assault!"

A group from the Rooster Gang stopped a dozen meters away from the Mad Lion Gang’s base. Among them, a Goat-bearded Yue Country man held a loudspeaker and shouted this way in Huaxia Language.

Behind him stood fifty Rooster Gang elites with submachine guns at the ready, ready to charge at any time, murderous intent overflowing.

"Senior Ye, the Rooster Gang people are here to kill us!"

Tong Yun’s expression changed as she spoke.

"Good, saves us the trouble." Ye Qingfeng’s face remained calm as he turned and walked out of the wooden house. Little Yue followed behind him, cold‑faced.

Tong Yun and the others hurried out after him. In an instant, the Mad Lion Gang’s people quickly converged, weapons in hand, surrounding Tong Yun and her group in the middle.

"Jian Wencai, Yanglong Pharmaceutical was built by us ourselves. What right do you have to steal it?" As soon as she stepped out, Tong Yun shouted loudly in accusation. Jian Wencai was the Rooster Gang member holding the loudspeaker. Hearing Tong Yun’s shout, his face changed, and he immediately said coldly, "Steal what? You wiped out the Yuehu Gang, and they had people from our Rooster Gang in there. Now we’re asking you to hand over Yanglong Pharmaceutical as compensation to us!"

The Mad Lion Gang members all changed expression, cursing the Rooster Gang’s shamelessness in their hearts.

Their target was Yanglong Pharmaceutical; they coveted Yanglong Pharmaceutical’s profits and wanted to swallow it whole, yet still came up with such high‑sounding excuses.

"Enough. Your rank isn’t high enough. If you want to negotiate, tell Kong Fangle to come out. Or have your Yanglong Pharmaceutical boss come talk to us—that works too. I’ll make him hand it over willingly!"

Jian Wencai laughed loudly, his tone full of confidence. With the Rooster Gang’s main force at his back, he was sure he could make Yanglong Pharmaceutical surrender.

The onlookers were standing all around Yanglong’s perimeter, listening clearly to both sides’ conversation, and they all shook their heads inwardly.

The Rooster Gang had both a pretext and strength. The Mad Lion Gang simply had no way to resist. Even if the Rooster Gang had no excuse, they’d still take it.

In this no‑man’s‑land of Yanglong, strength was the only law to begin with.

"I’m the person in charge of Yanglong Pharmaceutical. What is it you want to talk about?" At this moment, a young man stepped out, his expression calm.

He walked to the middle ground between the Mad Lion Gang and the Rooster Gang, completely unprotected. If the Rooster Gang opened fire, he’d be riddled with bullets instantly.

"You’re the person in charge of Yanglong Pharmaceutical?"

Jian Wencai was stunned. He hadn’t expected the real president of Yanglong Pharmaceutical to actually show up, and to stand so boldly within their line of fire.

His gaze flickered slightly as he considered whether to give the order on the spot to seize this man first.

As long as he captured their boss, there’d be no fear they wouldn’t hand Yanglong Pharmaceutical over.

"President? He’s the president of Yanglong Pharmaceutical? Wasn’t it said that the Manager of Yanglong Pharmaceutical is a great beauty? How did it turn into a young man?"

An onlooker shouted in surprise.

"That’s just the general manager. The real president is a mysterious figure—no one knows who he is."

"Even so, he shouldn’t be such a young guy. A conglomerate this big, with such a heaven‑defying Life Essence Liquid, must belong to someone with serious backing. How could he show up in such a dangerous place in person and walk out without any protection?"

"I think he’s probably a scapegoat. The real boss must be hiding in the shadows."

For a moment, the people around were abuzz with discussion. Naturally, all this also reached Jian Wencai of the Rooster Gang.

"Heh, the boss of Yanglong Pharmaceutical is a beauty. Don’t think you can fool me!" Jian Wencai shouted.

"Jian Wencai, you don’t know shit. Shen Yingluo is our general manager. This Senior Ye here is our true boss." Tong Yun immediately yelled back, cursing him.

Jian Wencai’s face shifted; he hadn’t expected this young man to really be the big boss of Yanglong Pharmaceutical.

He let out a cold laugh and said icily, "Since you are the president of Yanglong Pharmaceutical, then hand Yanglong Pharmaceutical over. Otherwise, be ready to be buried together with it!"

Ye Qingfeng smiled faintly, standing there calmly in front of the Rooster Gang’s gun muzzles, and said with a smile, "Aren’t you just bullying the weak with your strength? I heard the Rooster Gang has the Yue Country Military behind it. Doesn’t this damage Yue Country’s face?"

Hearing Ye Qingfeng bring up the Yue Country Military background, Jian Wencai’s face changed drastically. He shouted loudly, "Are you an idiot? In a place like Yanglong, strength has always been all that matters. Didn’t your Yanglong Pharmaceutical rely on your own power to squeeze these gangs so hard they couldn’t survive and were forced to disband?"

"Now our Rooster Gang is the one with the greater power, the thicker arm. So it’s our turn to call the shots. It’s your turn to disband!"

Jian Wencai’s words immediately made the onlookers nod one after another. Indeed, Yanglong was a place where strength ruled, always skirting the edge of the law.
