As soon as Mr. Hu spoke, Qiu Wuming immediately became anxious. He knew that Mr. Hu was too impulsive and had instantly fallen into Lin Chuan's trap.

"Good!" Lin Chuan clapped his hand and said, "Mr. Hu is indeed a straightforward man, a man of loyalty. This is something I must admire. However, it's only right that when a junior errs, the senior gets punished, isn't it? As the saying goes, 'When the son does wrong, it's the father's fault; when the student fails to learn, it's the teacher's laziness.' Now that your disciple has made a mistake, you, as the leader, should also face some punishment."

"What do you want to do?" Mr. Hu snorted coldly.

Clatter...

Lin Chuan tossed a dagger towards Mr. Hu and said, "I don't ask for much, just one of your fingers will do."

Sss...

The disciples of the Tiger Gang immediately took a sharp breath.

"Lin Chuan, don't be too arrogant." The bearded man shouted angrily, "The rumors were spread by my Tiger Gang, what about it? Do you think my Tiger Gang is afraid of you?"

At this moment, Zhou Kai put away the mobile phone he had been using to record video, then said, "Admitting it earlier would have spared you from all this trouble."

"You!" Qiu Wuming suddenly felt dizzy. He had not anticipated that Lin Chuan's man would be so cunning and scheming, secretly recording a video? If this video got out, wouldn't it damage the reputation of the Tiger Gang?

"Hehe." Zhou Kai carefully put away his mobile phone.

"Mr. Hu, shall I help you cut off that finger, or will you do it yourself?" Lin Chuan asked with a smile.

"Lin Chuan, you really think my Tiger Gang is afraid of you?" Mr. Hu rebuked angrily.

"Of course, I know you're not afraid of me." Lin Chuan chuckled, "But you are afraid of public opinion, afraid of moral condemnation, aren't you? If you don't take the punishment for your junior today, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand tall in the underworld."

"You!" Mr. Hu felt somewhat frustrated upon hearing this.

Junior errs, senior punished; it's the code of honor. After giving it some thought, Mr. Hu seemed to find some sense in it. If he took the punishment for his junior today, not only would he be able to stand morally tall, but he would also gain the respect of his brothers in the underworld. Moreover, it would solidify the Tiger Gang's position in Jiangbei City.

Whoosh...

Suddenly, Mr. Hu swiftly chopped off. A pinkie finger was cut off just like that.

"Big Brother!" The bearded man exclaimed.

"Big Brother, you're too impulsive." Qiu Wuming also sighed.

The surrounding disciples all cried out in shock, but deep down, they respected Mr. Hu even more.

Mr. Hu was already a ruthless and decisive person; he was like this towards others, and the same towards himself. Saying he would chop off a finger, he immediately did it. Mr. Hu had long weighed his options; after all, the chopped-off finger could potentially be reattached. With the current medical technology, the severed pinkie could be stitched up quickly. Within three months, the finger would be as nimble as before. At most, it was just enduring some physical pain.

"Lin Chuan, watch carefully." Mr. Hu trembled all over with pain, sweat dripping down.

"Tsk tsk, Mr. Hu, I was just joking with you, oh dear, why did you take it seriously?" Lin Chuan expressed his regret and as if he regretted having made that joke.

"You, you scoundrel!" Mr. Hu cursed loudly.

"However, it does prove one thing, Mr. Hu, you really are a man of your word." Lin Chuan chuckled and said, "Brothers, we should learn more from Mr. Hu in the future."

"Mr. Hu is mighty!" Zhou Kai and the others started shouting and waving their hands.

"Big Brother, I'll take you to the hospital." The bearded man hurriedly helped Mr. Hu into the car.

"Let's go!" Lin Chuan said proudly.

A group of people immediately jumped into the van and quickly left Qinghua Pool.

The next day, a video was circulating on major online portals in Jiangbei City, in which the deputy leader of the Tiger Gang personally admitted that they had deliberately slandered Lin Chuan. As soon as the video was released, it was immediately forwarded by brothers in the underworld on WeChat. For a moment, the reputation of the Tiger Gang plummeted.

However, not long after, another video surfaced. Mr. Hu, to spare his junior from punishment, personally chopped off his pinkie finger.

As the video emerged, it once again shocked both the criminal underworld and ordinary society in Jiangbei City. The previous video was quickly forgotten, and this new video was wildly forwarded. Mr. Hu's reputation skyrocketed in Jiangbei City, and in a short time, there was a flood of people eager to join the Tiger Gang.

In the hospital, Qiu Wuming sneered, "Lin Chuan thinks he's the only one who can play the game, oblivious to the fact that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

"Third Brother, you did well this time." Mr. Hu was very pleased.

"Big Brother, you were indeed impulsive this time." Qiu Wuming quickly said.

"No." Mr. Hu shook his head and said, "My current reputation all depends on chopping my finger."

"Sigh..." The bearded man sighed and said, "Mr. Hu, suffering like this isn't worth it. If I had known this would happen, I should have done it."

"Stop arguing." Mr. Hu smiled and said, "I'll be discharged from the hospital in a couple of days. Lin Chuan, this kid, has unwittingly done me a favor."

............

At Eight Horses Tea House.

Zhou Kai, looking unhappy, said, "Damn, the Tiger Gang really played a good hand."

"Stop being unhappy." Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Mr. Hu having the resolve to cut off his finger shows he's not a simple man. We should be more careful when dealing with the Tiger Gang in the future."

"Hmm!" Zhou Kai nodded.

While several people were enjoying themselves at the Eight Horses Tea House. Zhao Zhonghai came rushing in, as if he had fire at his heels.

"Zhao Bro, what's the hurry? Is something wrong?" Zhou Kai asked curiously.

"Trouble." Zhao Zhonghai frowned and said, "Goudan and several villagers have been arrested."

"Why?" Lin Chuan asked in surprise.

"It's all because of the Heroic Spirit Monument." Zhao Zhonghai said indignantly.

"Don't say another word, let's go to Zhenjiang." Lin Chuan promptly said.

Afterwards, the group immediately got into their cars and headed straight for the Zhenjiang Municipal Committee.
