Rebirth in Another World: The Ultimate Legend

"By the way, Xiao Jinzhi is from Qing Si Yuan. Perhaps we can get some information from Qing Li," Ouyang Kuishan pondered.

At that moment, a dozen or so agile gang members walked in from outside the Black Wolf Gang's main hall. What orders did the gang leader have for his subordinates to carry out?

"Come with me to Qing Si Courtyard," Ouyang Kuishan said.

"It's the gang leader," everyone responded in unison.

A short while later, they arrived at the entrance of Qing Si Courtyard. Standing at the entrance were more than a dozen members of the Black Wolf Gang, led by Ouyang Kuishan. His face was grim, his brows furrowed, and he roared, "Qing Li, come out here! If you don't, I'll tear down your Qing Si Courtyard!" His voice was filled with anger and threat, sending chills down everyone's spines.

"Oh dear, what's wrong with Chief Ouyang? Why are you so angry?" A sweet voice drifted from inside the courtyard, carrying a hint of allure. With that voice, Qingli stepped out with light, graceful steps. Her eyes held a mixture of doubt and wariness, yet her lips still held that habitual smile.

"Stop playing dumb with me, Qingli!" Ouyang Kuishan stepped forward, his eyes wide with anger, as if they were about to spit fire. "Not long ago, Xiao Jinzhi and a bunch of out-of-town scum burned down my warehouse. Do you know anything about this?"

Qingli smiled gently, her eyes showing no fear, though her smile seemed somewhat stiff: "Oh, Chief Ouyang, you've really wronged me. How could I, a mere head of Qingsi Courtyard, know anything about your gang's affairs? Besides, my Qingsi Courtyard is full of weak women; we have no interest in managing your warehouse."

Ouyang Kuishan snorted coldly, "Hmph! Don't think I don't know about your relationship with Xiao Jinzhi. She came from your Qingsi Courtyard, how could you not know her whereabouts?" His lips twitched, and the muscles on his face trembled slightly with anger.

Qingli bit her lip, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and feigned innocence, saying, "Chief Ouyang, Xiao Jinzhi is indeed from my courtyard, but she hasn't returned for several days. I don't know where she went."

"Do you think I'd believe what you say?" Ouyang Kuishan's face was full of anger, the veins on his forehead throbbing. He stared at Qingli with wide eyes, as if trying to see through her. "The gang's warehouse, guarded by so many people, was burned down by a few people and a woman. If this gets out, where will the Black Wolf Gang's face be?"

A hint of grievance flashed in Qingli's eyes, and tears welled up in them. She said pitifully, "Chief Ouyang, I really don't know. You can't pin this crime on me just because Xiao Jinzhi was with me before."

"Then how can Chief Ouyang trust me?" Qingli looked a little melancholy, her brows furrowed, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

Ouyang Kuishan's gaze was cold, a cruel smile curling at the corner of his lips: "It's simple. Let me take some men to search your Qingsi Courtyard and see if Xiao Jinzhi is inside. If she's not, I'll leave immediately. But if she is, hmph..."

Qingli's expression changed, her smile vanished instantly, and her brows furrowed tightly: "In that case, Chief Ouyang, come in and search. But let's make this clear from the start: if you don't find the person you're looking for in this courtyard, you will compensate Qingsi Courtyard for all the losses you have suffered."

Ouyang Kuishan's face twisted into a ferocious grin, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth: "Fine, I agree. But what if we actually find it?"

Qingli took a deep breath, her face pale, but she still tried to remain calm and said, "If we find it, I will compensate you for the things that are damaged in your warehouse afterwards."

"Alright, let's do it this way!" Ouyang Kuishan waved his hand and led his men to storm into Qing Si Courtyard.

Qingli stepped aside, but her eyes revealed a hint of determination, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

Upon entering Qingsi Courtyard, Ouyang Kuishan's men began searching everywhere, leaving no corner unchecked, from the rooms to the courtyard. Chaos erupted within the courtyard, with screams from the girls filling the air.

Ouyang Kuishan stood in the middle of the courtyard, coldly observing everything, and secretly vowed to find Xiao Jinzhi.

Qingli stood to the side, seemingly calm on the surface, but inwardly extremely anxious, secretly praying that Xiao Jinzhi would not be found.

Time ticked by, the search continued, and the outcome remained unknown.
