Just as Lin Qing was struggling to come up with a response to the increasingly arrogant attitude of Red Leaf Town's Green Bamboo Gang branch, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the door, interrupting Lin Qing's thoughts.

As her gaze shifted towards the door, Lin Qing could not help but furrow her brows. The person who had come was none other than Lin Qing's trusted aide, Huang Shan.

Seeing her flustered expression, as well as the unspeakable panic on her face, Lin Qing's heart couldn't help but sink as a sense of foreboding filled her heart.

"Subordinate Huang Shan greets the Branch Lord." Although Huang Shan's face was filled with panic, he did not forget the rules. He respectfully bowed towards Lin Qing and said.

For a small gang like the Tiger Gang, there was no rule of kowtowing. It was just that Huang Shan wanted to show his loyalty to Lin Qing, and every time he met Lin Qing, he would kneel down in worship of Lin Qing. It was as if a rule had already been formed.

Lin Qing didn't support such rules, but neither did she oppose them. After such a long period of time, Lin Qing felt that his own prestige could penetrate deep into the hearts of the people, causing others to unwittingly submit to him, and even less of a rebellious heart.

Hearing this, Huang Shan stood up, cupped his fists, bowed towards Lin Qing, and then respectfully said: "Reporting to the Branch Lord, there are three foremen within the gang that betrayed the Tiger Gang and joined the Green Bamboo Gang. Under the leadership of the three foremen, a total of thirty-six gang members also betrayed and escaped."

"This thief …" Upon hearing his voice, Lin Qing's complexion instantly turned ashen, carrying a deep anger as he gritted his teeth and spoke. It was a long while later before the turmoil in his heart finally started to ease down.

"Tell me everything. I want to see who it is that plotted against my Tiger Gang." Lin Qing restrained the emotions in her heart before speaking indifferently. However, when she saw Lin Qing's bloodshot eyes, she immediately understood her emotions.

Huang Shan did not dare to hesitate and quickly said, "Rumor has it that it is the former vice leader Wu Yan. He visited a lot of the members of the gang late last night and rebelled against them. Today, three of the deacons have led the way by announcing their departure from the Tiger Gang."

In the end, Lin Qing also had her own responsibilities. When she first came to Red Leaf Town's Tiger Gang branch, Lin Qing already had the heart to establish her authority, and this Wu Yan had coincidentally crashed into the spear, becoming Lin Qing's stepping stone. It could be said that she had lost all her face, and had been taken over by Lin Qing.

However, she did not expect that Wu Yan's decision was really swift. In the last battle between Lin Qing and the Green Bamboo Gang Branch Lord Lin Danzi from Red Leaf Town, Wu Yan had seized the opportunity and not only had his Dark Sword pierced Lin Qing, but he had also used this opportunity to escape from the Tiger Gang, joining the Green Bamboo Gang without any delay. It could be said that he had made a decisive decision.

As the former vice division leader of the Red Leaf Town's Tiger Gang, Wu Yan had been highly regarded by Lin Danzi the moment he joined the Green Bamboo Gang. In addition, he had also fought with Lin Qing before, and they could be said to be good friends on the battlefield.

As the former Deputy Helmsman of the Red Leaf Town's Tiger Branch Division, Wu Yan's power in the Red Leaf Town's Tiger Branch Division was not to be underestimated. Although because of Lin Qing, he had been stripped of his position as the Deputy Helmsman, but to remove the influence Wu Yan had in the Red Leaf Town's Tiger Branch Division, it was absolutely impossible for a short period of time.

Under Wu Yan's long term influence, if the Green Bamboo Gang was unable to subvert a portion of the members of the Tiger Gang, then it would be like seeing a ghost.

However, what Lin Qing did not expect was that Wu Yan's influence was actually this great. It hadn't been long, but three deacons had already defected, and the thirty-six disciples had left with them. In just one night, they had taken away almost one twentieth of the combat power of the Red Leaf Town's Tiger Gang.

Lin Qing had also considered Wu Yan's betrayal. However, since she had just arrived at Red Leaf Town, she had yet to fully grasp the power within the sect. Facing this kind of influence, Lin Qing could only helplessly cry out.

After the last gathering hall meeting, Lin Qing had truly grasped the initial authority of Red Leaf Town's Tiger Branch Division. She had more things on her hands than she had imagined, and thus had no time to deal with the hidden dangers that this traitor Wu Yan could bring to her. All of these things made her at a loss as to how to deal with the evil influence that Wu Yan's traitor had brought upon her.

"Huang Shan, how should we deal with this situation?" After a long while, Lin Qing finally asked Huang Shan with a solemn tone.

Hearing this, Huang Shan's face lit up. Lin Qing's actions had already revealed in many ways that she had become Lin Qing's true confidante, so how could Huang Shan not be happy about this.

Thinking about the current chaotic situation, Huang Shan was extremely worried. As Lin Qing's trusted aide, if Lin Qing really dismounted, his fate would be very bad.

In this way, Huang Shan naturally needed to actively think of a way to deal with this, and after Huang Shan received the news of three deacons defecting, he also thought of a plan.

Seeing Lin Qing ask this question, Huang Shan hurriedly cupped his fists and said: "The current situation, the gang's insides are panicking, and the Green Bamboo Gang Division of Red Leaf Town is pressing in step by step at this time, there are enemies on the outside, and there are also troubles within. Our Tiger Gang Division can be said to have reached the most critical moment.

After hearing Huang Shan's words, Lin Qing also understood what had happened and could not help but nod her head. However, in such a situation, if she did not want to come up with a plan, the Tiger Gang Division would be destroyed in the blink of an eye.

As she quietly listened, Lin Qing did not say anything. She knew that since Huang Shan had said these, he must have thought of some way to deal with it. Therefore, she quietly waited for Huang Shan to finish.

Sure enough, after saying this, Huang Shan glanced at Lin Qing and saw that her eyes were blazing. Although her mind had been disturbed by the news of the three deacons betraying her, she quickly reacted and sat upright, her face as calm as water.

Seeing this, Huang Shan felt slightly at ease. If Lin Qing really did not have any trump cards, she would not be able to sit here peacefully.

He cupped his hands in a respectful salute and said again, "On the inside, facing the panic and unease of the sect members, the Branch Lord might as well punish the traitors, and let them know the consequences of their betrayal. On the outside, facing the pressure from Master Qing's Branch Division, we might as well step back for now and give up some of our unimportant businesses, and guard the sect's main businesses."

After hearing Huang Shan's words, Lin Qing slightly nodded her head. Although it was not some wondrous plan, it was impossible to say that she had made a mistake in handling this matter. At this point, Lin Qing was truly unable to think of any good countermeasures.

Because of the dream, Lin Qing had vaguely understood a lot and understood a lot, but everything within the dream wasn't omnipotent. The dream world was a different social system, and the rules of society were fundamentally different from the world Lin Qing currently resided in. There were many methods that didn't apply to this world.
