Chapter 293 Tie Me Up
Qu Bai stood next to Lao K, looking past the people on the ground to the roof of the small white building.
"Where did you go last night?" Old K asked him.
"I haven't been anywhere." Qu Bai said, "I'm not feeling well, so I'm resting at home."
After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something and chuckled softly: "I drank two cups of cheap tea and didn't sleep well all night."
Hearing what he said, Lao K suddenly paused, a thought flashed across his eyes, and then he couldn't help but smile.
"Let's finish our chat and then go to sleep." When Old K spoke to him, his tone was no longer as cold as before.
Qu Bai responded, and then said: "I'll go see my brother."
"Go ahead."
Old K said, "It's been windy these past two days, tell the people who are taking care of him to be careful and make the house warmer."
Qu Bai responded again.
When his feet disappeared from his sight, Cheng Jiu's lowered face showed great resentment.
"That's right."
Qu Bai took two steps and turned around again: "I got the news this morning that Scorpion cut off Zhao Wu's path in Qincheng. Now Zhao Wu's whereabouts are unknown, and Scorpion has gathered his forces in Dongxing."
Before Old K finished speaking, Cheng Jiu looked up suddenly: "Scorpion went to Dongxing? How can we let him go!"
Old K ignored him and said to Qu Bai, "It's just a fight between trapped beasts. It's not worth taking it seriously. I don't know why Scorpion did this."
Qu Bai's lips curled slightly: "Although Zhao Wu was badly hurt, he has a good business. No one knows who the boss is except him."
Old K seemed to be interested: "What business?"
"He has a product that is so refined that it's better than the best we have," said Qu Bai.
Cheng Jiu and Mo Laoqi looked towards him.
Old K's eyes turned cold: "Until now, Scorpion has not explained this to me."
"How many people did he bring with him this time?" Qu Bai asked.
Old K looked at Mo Laoqi.
The heavy gaze pressed down upon him, and Mo Laoqi's back tightened. He cried out in his heart, "Not good!" He lowered his head and said softly, "Four... four..."
"Are they his subordinates?" asked Old K.
Mo Laoqi felt even more guilty. Scorpion always looked down on him when he was in Dongzhou. This time, Old K sent him to clean up the mess in Dongxing, and he didn't expect him to do a good job. The people he sent were not people Scorpion was used to working for.
"I'm asking you a question." Old K asked again.
Mo Laoqi was startled, and he closed his eyes and said, "No... no..."
Lao K's eyes became colder and colder: "Who did you send?"
"Liu Cheng and Zhao Qi..."
The teapot on the table was swept down by gravity, and the broken glass splashed on Mo Laoqi, injuring him in several places, but he didn't dare to move now.
Qu Bai sneered: "As far as I know, Liu Cheng and his men have always had a grudge against Scorpion. Are you sending them to help Scorpion or to harm Scorpion?"
Mo Laoqi cursed Qu Bai dozens of times in his heart, but he only dared to say: "I... I don't have that intention, I just want to see if Liu Cheng and the others can do anything..."
Qu Bai laughed again and didn't reply to him. He just said to Lao K, "Scorpion is a man who will take revenge. I have already sent someone over."
Old K looked at him, questioningly.
"Not to help him."
Qu Bai said: "We went for Zhao Wu, the boss. Since Zhao Wu is missing now, it's better for us to have this business."
Old K had some complicated thoughts, so he could only nod his head at this time: "Well, tell me immediately if there is any news."
Qu Bai responded, said nothing more, and walked towards the small building.
After Qu Bai left, the pavilion fell silent for a moment.
After a long time, Lao K finally spoke: "Cheng Jiu, do you have anything else to say?"
Cheng Jiu seemed to have finally found an opportunity. He hurriedly said, "Boss, do you still trust Qu Bai so much? Think about it carefully. During the years he was in Dongzhou, our people couldn't find his whereabouts at all. What he did privately, our people couldn't find out at all!"
Old K narrowed his eyes: "So?"
"The people under his command are out of your control!"
Cheng Jiu said excitedly: "Chi Xiao has always had feelings for him, and you know better than anyone how possessive she is of Qu Bai. During the years that Qu Bai was in Dongzhou, Chi Xiao sent many people to keep an eye on him, but did Chi Xiao ever find out what Qu Bai did and who he met every day? If Qu Bai had nothing to hide, why would he be so wary of his own people?"
"What about you?"
Lao K asked: "I know your whereabouts very well, but you pretend to be loyal to me while secretly trying to divide up my business. How can this be explained?"
Cheng Jiu's face changed and he didn't know how to refute.
He held it in for a long time, and finally said what was in his heart: "I just can't stand the fact that you trust him so much! They are all your children, who can be worse than him? But he is the only one in your eyes!"
Old K smiled.
He looked at Mo Laoqi: "Do you all think so?"
Mo Laoqi thought about it for a while, and finally he could only agree with Cheng Jiu's words: "Everyone... has some opinions."
Old K stood up. Although he had a smile on his face, his eyes were cold. "I know he doesn't have much affection for me, and he looks down on you. He may have many twists and turns in private, but I am sure of one thing."
Cheng Jiu looked at him in confusion.
Lao K said: "He is tied to me, he hates me to death, he is tied to me, if I am alive, he can live too, if he destroys me, he won't have a good life, he won't bother to do those messy things you guys are vying for, because he despises them."
Cheng Jiu couldn't help but curse in his heart, bullshit!
He said: "Can you guarantee that you know Qu Bai well enough?"
"I don't need to understand you. I just need to contain you. It's unnecessary for me to understand a person. It's enough for me to grasp your weaknesses."
After Old K finished speaking, he waved and called a few people over. He nodded at Cheng Jiu and said, "Give him a hard time so that he will remember this lesson and come back to see me again."
Soon, Cheng Jiu was dragged away.
Mo Laoqi looked at all this and lowered his head again.
But Lao K didn't let him go: "Do you know where he went wrong?"
Mo Laoqi didn't say anything.
"He wants to talk about love with me."
Old K said to himself: "Emotions are the most unreliable things in this world. Pure interests are the simplest between people. If you can use it, keep it. If you can't use it, then what's the point of keeping it?"
Mo Laoqi's heart skipped a beat: "I was really wrong this time, Boss, please give me another chance!"
"No one knows what Scorpion will do in Dongxing."
Lao K said: "But he was able to take down Zhao Wu as soon as he got there, which proves his ability."
Mo Laoqi couldn't help but say, "But there are a lot of police officers over there now. Who knows that he..."
"That's not what I'm most worried about." Old K sat down again: "I'm just afraid that he will turn around and bite my flesh."
Mo Laoqi looked at him: "No... can't you?"
"Who knows?"
Old K sneered: "Mo Laoqi, I won't punish you yet. Go and bring that woman back to me. Keep an eye on her in front of me. Scorpions always have to think before they act.
Mo Laoqi breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll do it right away!"
