"If you ask me, neither of you should go!"
After listening to their accounts, Wang Fang looked displeased. "Do you know who Marquis is? He's a figure who has absolute control over the underground of the entire Yiyang District. That's much more troublesome than the Gou family! You can't risk it!"
"Yeah, Brother Han Lang! Didn't you promise to go shopping with me tonight? Are you going to break your promise?"
Seeing Luo Jiaying's dejected expression, Han Lang didn't know what to say for a moment. Fortunately, Ma Long was resolute and immediately rebuked the two women indignantly.
"Ms. Wang, Miss Luo. This is where you two are wrong! As the saying goes, 'When the nation is in danger, every man has a duty!'
Someone like Marquis is clearly a malignant tumor that harms society. Since we have the ability, we must contribute our part to society.
Moreover, it's not like we're provoking them! They've already come to our doorstep and threatened our personal safety. If we don't do anything, won't that embolden them and make them even more rampant?"
As soon as Ma Long finished speaking, Wang Fang and Luo Jiaying felt ashamed.
To be honest, if it were anyone else who dared to put on such a righteous front and spout such words, they would have been met with endless humiliation and ridicule.
But Ma Long was different.
Everyone present knew that he was a person who truly believed in justice!
When someone like him said such things, it not only didn't make anyone uncomfortable but was also easily infectious.
As expected, the most innocent Luo Jiaying was instantly persuaded, her thoughts immediately changed, and she agreed.
"Brother Ma is right. With great ability comes great responsibility! If we don't do something to eliminate evils for the people, wouldn't Brother Han Lang's skills be wasted? I agree to postpone the shopping, but you must also guarantee your safety!"
Seeing Luo Jiaying "defect," Wang Fang, who had maintained a shred of rationality, began to waver.
"But... they're still gangsters! Brother Ma is injured, what if..."
"Oh, don't worry, Ms. Wang!" Ma Long, fearing that Wang Fang would continue to dwell on it and regain her rationality, immediately interrupted.
"Don't you know my strength better than anyone else? Not to mention that this minor injury has been controlled by Little Sir. Even if it hadn't been, dealing with those hooligans, I could afford to give them a hand!"
"But they have guns!"
"Guns? Hmph! Do you think those hooligans are more familiar with this thing than I am? When I was playing with guns in the army, these little punks didn't even know where they were! What's there to be afraid of?"
Ma Long spoke with great confidence, but Wang Fang still had some doubts. Seeing this, Ma Long frantically signaled Han Lang for help.
Han Lang was speechless.
He naturally understood what Ma Long meant.
He could understand that the two girls, with their simple minds, were easily swayed by Ma Long. But he himself had always clearly known the original intention of this argument!
He had never agreed to go find Hou Cang with Ma Long.
But why did Ma Long, as he spoke, somehow put them on the same side?
This made him feel both helpless and impressed by Ma Long.
He had no choice but to speak. "Sister Wang Fang, Little Ying! Don't worry. We just want to deter them, not necessarily fight them to the death. You don't need to worry too much. Besides, as long as they don't target Tian Yi Ge from now on, I won't bother with them. After all, I'm not a police officer!"
It could be said that the fate between people is probably a kind of mutual checking and balancing.
Based on past experiences, Wang Fang had always trusted Han Lang implicitly. Therefore, she quickly put aside her worries and doubts.
"That's true. Otherwise, if they keep pestering us endlessly, Tian Yi Ge will be ruined sooner or later.
But you must promise to negotiate if possible and try not to resort to violence. Also, for safety's sake, Miss Luo and I will follow behind to provide support.
If you don't return within half an hour, we'll call the police immediately. This will also ensure your safety!"
"I agree!"
Luo Jiaying immediately expressed her agreement and also gave Wang Fang a thumbs-up for her thoughtful consideration.
Ma Long naturally had no objections to this. For him, as long as he could go, the subsequent agreements were not within his consideration.
However, Han Lang was somewhat conflicted.
Although with his strength, he was confident that he could prevent the things Wang Fang requested from happening, but after all, nothing is absolute.
Deep down, he really didn't want to involve the two girls in such a feud.
"How about this, I can agree to you coming, but I get to choose the support location. And until I return, you absolutely cannot leave the support point, not even if the police arrive!"
Wang Fang and Luo Jiaying felt Han Lang's concern from his forceful tone, and at the same time, to avoid being like the female leads in TV dramas who become a hindrance to the male lead at critical moments, they gladly accepted Han Lang's request.
"Alright! Since we've decided, I'll go get the car! Little Sir, could I have the car keys, please!"
Ma Long was naturally the most excited of the group. Seeing his excited demeanor, Han Lang could only shake his head and reluctantly take out the car keys and toss them to him.
In the evening, at Hai Ke KTV!
After arranging for Wang Fang and Luo Jiaying, Han Lang and Ma Long swaggered in.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, the two had also changed into dazzling suits in the car, paired with cool sunglasses, making them look like wanderers of the night city.
Without a word, they quickly entered the KTV, just like other consumers.
This place was a bit different from the KTVs ordinary people visited.
The luxurious decoration, under the special lighting, appeared even more noble; the dazzling chandeliers were like stars, filling an entire corridor.
Along the corridor, some slender, alluring, high-quality beauties were scattered sporadically among the various private rooms on both sides.
At one end of the corridor, on the left, was a huge wine cellar. The cellar was filled with all sorts of high-end wines.
In the room next to the wine cellar, one could clearly see many foreigners in chef uniforms busily working.
Opposite the wine cellar was a long consultation and cashier counter, directly facing the main entrance on the right side.
Behind the counter stood seven or eight identically dressed, smiling, and good-looking young men and women, warmly welcoming every consumer who entered the establishment.
"Damn, this is so luxurious! It seems these gangsters have made quite a lot of money!"
Ma Long was stunned by the extravagance of the place. Such a scene was truly shocking to him.
"Of course! Otherwise, why would they be able to get guns?"
As one of the most dissolute young masters in Ley City in the past, Han Lang was already accustomed to such decadent places. While calmly replying to Ma Long, he strode to the consultation desk on the right, directly grabbed one of the waiters by the collar, pulled him over, and asked coldly.
"Looking for trouble! Where is Marquis?"
