Xu Ling on the other side did not recognize it at first, but he felt that the words 'Sha Hai Group' were very familiar. Suddenly, as he saw Boss Sun turn his head and smile, revealing a horrifying scar from a sword wound from his ear to his jaw, he remembered that the Sha Hai Group was the force that spread all over from Jiangnan to Fujian — they were a major bandit group!

Boss Sun was not a bodyguard, but a bandit! The restaurant was not a Xinghua Village, but a place selling steam buns of human flesh filling*!

*A reference to Sun Erniang, a fictional character in Water Margin 水浒传, one of the Four Great Classical Novels in Chinese Literature.

Xu Ling instantly turned tense, trying to cover for Yan Wang behind him with the power of a scholar who had no strength to tie a chicken, "You... You are…"

Chang Geng put his hands together: "The dog killers could still be the ones who uphold righteousness*, there still exists one with many sentiments in the green woods, I have been disrespectful.

*From a couplet by famous Ming Dynasty poet, Cao Xuequan 曹学佺 (the second verse is "many cold-hearted ones are of scholarly origin".)

Boss Sun's eyes swept a few Black Iron Camp guards behind him and straightforwardly said, "Yan Wang doesn't have to be so over courteous either. This time you all come openly for a visit, secretly exploring for information; at the end of the day, you only want to know how greedy Yang Rong Gui is, where the refugees that have been harmed by him went to, and whether there is a real epidemic. I might as well tell you directly — those people that have been taken to other areas in order to be saved, as soon as the patients arrived, on the first day, each of them received a bowl of medicine to drink. At the end of that same day, at night, a big fire broke out. None of the people inside were able to flee, their bodies and the evidence have all been erased. The others had been detained in batches in the so-called ‘mountain village’ or had joined the gang with us brothers."

Chang Geng's face remained unchanged, he said, "If we hadn't come, I'm afraid a riot would have happened sooner or later."

Boss Sun sneered: "The officials forced the hands of the people, but then again, when Yang Rong Gui killed the refugees, Jiangbei Camp did not catch wind of it at all. If the refugees rebelled, Jiangbei Camp would surely move immediately, regardless of whether they could not fight corrupt officials or foreigners, they would still be more than enough to defeat us ordinary people. Yeah, all roads are facing the sky, but none of them is the road to survival."
