Chapter 190 What's wrong with waiting for my brother?! (23)
Twenty pastries were steamed in one pot and are now cooling down.
Panpan took one out, blew on it, and handed it to Xiong Bufan: "Boss, please have a taste."
Xiong Bufan took it and bit off more than half of it in one go. "Delicious, I'll eat it again tonight."
"Okay, I'll make some for you tonight." As she spoke, Panpan took out two more snacks and blew on them for Xiong Bufan to cool them down faster.
Gao Ying silently rolled her eyes. Their leader was a spoiled fool who had been pampered since childhood. She was already working as a prostitute at her age, but this fool didn't know anything. She wanted to go out and make her way in the world with the second leader, but it was all the fault of this little fool and the silly woman next to him.
They're clearly not his biological child, yet they insist on spoiling this silly little kid like he's their own. He's not even a boy, so why does he live such a good life every day?
Kongkong: "Bufan, I want to eat too."
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll get it for you."
After stuffing both of Panpan's hands into his mouth, Xiong Bufan then devoured all the pastries in the pot. Thinking that Gao Ying had made them, Xiong Bufan took out two and gave one to Gao Ying and one to Panpan.
Panpan: "Thank you, Boss."
Gao Ying's eyes were practically filled with disdain. Why couldn't she be given money? She wanted silver, but she still stuffed the pastry into her mouth.
After Jiang Yue got the gold, she was busy running around and Xiong Bufan hadn't been seen for several days. The situation was getting serious.
The city newspapers said that the Japanese had already reached this area, and many officials had fled. It would probably fall to the Japanese in a few days. Jiang Yue looked at the newspaper with worry. They were the biggest river bandits within a hundred miles, and the Japanese were expected to find them in a few days.
Everyone on the island was equipped with the latest guns and broadswords, and there was a constant patrol of the island.
Xiong Bufan was very dissatisfied with all of this. With more people on the island, there were fewer people to earn money for her, and she had to support so many freeloaders, which was a huge loss.
Panpan kept a close eye on Xiong Bufan and, knowing why he was unhappy, quickly ran over to tell Jiang Yue.
Hearing the news, Jiang Yue brought over another box of fish cakes she had made herself. "Boss, please have some." She then handed the food to Xiong Bufan.
Xiong Bufan: "Short of money again? I have no money." If it were anyone else, Xiong Bufan would have beaten them up and thrown them out long ago. It's only because of Jiang Yue that Xiong Bufan can listen to her nonsense.
After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Yue finally explained the situation to Xiong Bufan, "Boss, the Japanese have invaded our area. I heard that there are tens of thousands of them."
"Go ahead and call. If you don't have enough money, I'll get you some."
Xiong Bufan had studied history and knew how despicable those tiny, insignificant countries were, so even if they were poor, he would still send troops to fight them.
This was unexpected for Jiang Yue. She thought Xiong Bufan would stand by and watch, since that was his attitude towards the warlord gang conflicts before.
Jiang Yue: "Don't worry, sir, we've been preparing for this all along."
"Ah."
After learning the reason, Xiong Bufan's displeasure subsided. Fearing that Jiang Yue didn't have enough money, he brought out a small box of small yellow croakers, which was all the wealth she had in this world.
Jiang Yue began to promise, "Master, I will definitely protect our island."
Xiong Bufan nodded, "Let's have some backbone and drive them all out!"
"Alright, get them all out!"
Jiaolong Village is now in a state of war preparedness, and no one is allowed to disrupt their operations in the slightest.
In a certain military region, a man walked through a series of doors, finally opened one, gave a standard military salute, and reported: "Sir, there is a band of river pirates entrenched in this area. Let's send troops to attack them directly!"
Matsuguchi Takaki looked at his subordinate, Kameda Hitsugu. Their landing had been too smooth, which had made his subordinates arrogant—a huge mistake. After a long pause, he finally spoke, "Fool, the highest level is to let them fight each other..."
If they rashly send troops, they will face a pincer attack from government troops and river bandits, which is far less worthwhile than using small benefits to drive the river bandits to their side.
Kameda looked at his superior in surprise, not expecting the battle to be so large; it was truly impressive.
If they succeed, then it will truly prove the old Chinese saying, "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits." They are indeed the clever fishermen.
Matsuguchi Takaki looked at his subordinate and asked, "Did you understand? If you understand, then go and do it!"
"Hi!"
Hearing that Jiaolong Village was a group of women and that the bandit leader was a girl, Kameda Bis couldn't help but look down on the place, so he was extremely arrogant when he entered the main hall.
Xiong Bufan sat in the main seat with a commanding presence, while Panpan and Jiang Yue stood beside him.
Looking at the Japanese soldiers below, Xiong Bufan covered her nose. This man stank so badly, he reeked of sin. The guards weren't much better; they were practically suffocating. She really wanted to take action.
Kameda Hideki arrogantly surveyed his surroundings and casually said, "Hand over your manager!" The translator mimicked him, "Hand you over, ah!"
Before he could finish speaking, Kameda Bees's head was sliced off by a plate.
Before the other Japanese soldiers could even draw their guns, they were already dismembered. After finishing, Xiong Bufan wiped his hands and sat back down in the main seat, then loudly asked Jiang Yue, "Did the translator just kill everyone?!"
Everyone in the hall stared at the interpreter, who suddenly knelt on the ground. "I didn't kill him! I really didn't kill him! I didn't have a gun or a knife, how could I have killed someone?"
Jiang Yue was still in shock at how fast Xiong Bufan had become, and could only agree with what Xiong Bufan said, saying, "Yes, Boss, that's too cruel."
Panpan was already used to Xiong Bufan's habit of killing people and denying it. In order to please Xiong Bufan, she chimed in, "Yes, that's too cruel."
Xiong Bufan: "Men, arrest the translator and hang him on the dock. Put these Japanese devils there too."
The translator, disregarding his own innocence, kept kowtowing, pleading, "Master, please don't kill me! I'm a respected translator by the Japanese officers; killing me will bring disaster upon us."
Xiong Bufan: "A life for a life!"
Jiang Yue waved her hand, and the people in the hall immediately took the translator away. Even as he was being dragged away, the translator was still begging for mercy, "Boss, spare my life!"
As for the money brought by the Japanese, Xiong Bufan accepted it without hesitation. It was delivered to his doorstep, so why not take it?
Besides, isn't bringing money to a bandit's den just throwing money away?
Some people in the main hall felt that their leader killing the Japanese envoy would bring disaster, so they had no intention of escaping and began to practice their marksmanship and swordsmanship even more diligently.
Gao Ying was preparing snacks for Xiong Bufan in the kitchen, completely unaware of what was happening.
Two or three days later, Kameda Hitsuji still hadn't returned or sent any news, so Matsuguchi Takaki sent others to look for his men.
