It turns out that both Zhou Shu Ren and Zhou Shu Yu were Heads of a subsidiary Hall, where Zhou Shu Ren was the Hall Leader, and Zhou Shu Yu was the Vice Leader.
“Vice Hall Head, we lost contact with Hall Leader Zhou a few days back, and that Sima You Yue, before he killed off Vice Hall Leader Zhou, announced that he was the one who had killed Hall Leader Zhou.” reported the servant who was kneeling on the ground.
“Where are they?” The Vice Head demanded.
“They are all at the Guesthouse Inn.” The guard announced.
“Resting in the Guesthouse Inn?” As the members of the Heavenly Tiger Hall heard ‘Guesthouse Inn’, they furrowed their brows, showing that that was not a place that they wanted to disturb.
“Send men to arrest them all!” The Vice Hall Head ordered angrily.
“Vice Hall Head, I think we should not go down at this time.” One of the men in the lower seats suggested.
“And why not?” The Vice Hall Head looked at the man angrily. If he was unable to produce a satisfactory reason, then he would definitely berate him.
The man was not intimidated by his anger, and said, “Those people dared to kill our Hall Leader and Vice Hall Leader out in the streets, and they did so unhesitatingly. If they were not sure of themselves and if they were not this bold to know that they were mighty enough not to be afraid of us, then they would not have dared to touch them after being aware of their identities. If we take action rashly, we might bring even more trouble. It might be wiser for us to send others to check their backgrounds and identities. If it were not for the observations I had mentioned, it would not be too late to arrest them after.”
After listening to what he had said, the rest agreed that he was right. His words were reasonable after all.
“Vice Head, I concur with Subsidiary Head Bai’s suggestion. These people had suddenly appeared in the Heavenly Tiger Ridge, and we should take this matter seriously. If we have a repeat of what happened with Innkeeper Chou…”
Previously, they had confronted Innkeeper Chou. At that time, he had only brought a young disciple and entered the Great City, and so they had gone to him for the protection fee, only to be rejected. He had also beaten them up, and anyone that they had sent to him for the money ended up being beaten up badly. It was then that they knew that he was someone who was not a pushover. At the end, the Hall Head had to go down personally to apologise to him, and had to compensate him with a large sum of treasures before the issue was settled down.
Afterwards, Innkeeper Chou set up an Inn in the Great City, and named it the Guesthouse Inn. From then on, that place became a special place within the Great City, because it was only at this place where they Hall was afraid to go to to extort a protection fee.
It had been a long time since that happened, and yet such a thing was happening again. This time, they had to deal with the situation properly.
The Vice Hall Head also thought about these things and said, “Since that is the case, then we will send our men to the Guesthouse Inn to observe their movements and action, and then we’ll have people to do a background check on them.”
“Back then, Subsidiary Head Zhou had gone over to the Zhuo family’s area before he got lost. I think we should send people there to investigate as well, perhaps we might find something.”
“Go.”
“Yes, Vice Hall Head.”
Sima You Yue and the rest continued to stay at the Guesthouse Inn. The people living around the area had initially thought that the Heavenly Tiger Hall members would send people to deal with them, but even after a day, there seemed to be no movement. It was only as the innkeeper was doing his accounts, when he suddenly sensed that there was a crowd outside his doors. But he simply smiled and said nothing.
Sima You Yue and the rest were rather surprised that no one had come looking for them as well, and their suspicions grew. But after a while, they started to feel as though they were being watched from the outside, and knew that the Heavenly Tiger Hall had probably sent people to keep watch on them. But they were not afraid or anxious and continued to stay at the Inn, but for the fear of being caught, they did not go out to shop or look around.
