"Mr. Qin, Li Dong has already agreed to cooperate with us," said the man in the black suit with a snicker.
"Hmm!" Qin Dalei nodded and said, "Make good use of this chess piece; it's sowhat helpful to us."
"Exactly!" The man nodded and continued, "Later, we'll incite Li Dong's people to have a fierce battle with the Jvyi Gang. I believe Li Dong's guys are definitely no match for the Jvyi Gang. Heh, heh, by then we will..."
"Hmm!" Qin Dalei nodded and asked, "By the way, has Xiao Hei and his team returned yet?"
"Xiao Hei and the others are already on their way back to the country," the man replied. "Moreover, we haven't had any news of Lin Chuan recently. Lin Chuan is as elusive as a dragon—showing his head without seeing his tail—we have no idea where he has gone, and it seems that the mbers of the Jvyi Gang aren't concerned about Lin Chuan either. It looks like Lin Chuan must have already left Jiangbei City."
"No matter," Qin Dalei shook his head and said, "Whether he's in Jiangbei City doesn't matter; I will keep waiting here in Jiangbei City for his return."
"Uh..." The man was startled and then laughed, "Yes, indeed, Lin Chuan is definitely no match for Mr. Qin."
A strange smile appeared on Qin Dalei's face. He held an expensive cigar in his mouth, took a deep drag, and said, "Lin Chuan, I really want to see just how capable you are, kid."
............
At Jiangbei City Airport, a flight from Beijing landed slowly at the airport.
As Lin Chuan disembarked from the plane and stretched after stepping off, he found that the air in Jiangbei City was much fresher than in Beijing. In Beijing, you would often encounter smog that could prevent you from seeing the road right in front of you. The air in Jiangbei City was great; the sky was blue, and the oxygen molecules in the air were lively.
Lin Chuan took a deep breath, spread his arms, and said, "Ho's air is still the best; it's fresh."
"Hey, are you getting on the shuttle or not?" A nearby airport staff mber hastily shouted.
"Coming, coming," Lin Chuan hurried onto the airport shuttle.
This ti Lin Chuan returned without notifying anyone, nor did he tell anyone. Leaving the airport, Lin Chuan took a taxi straight to the transport market.
At the transport market, Zhou Kai and the others were busy working. Haiqing Pool was temporarily closed; no one knew when Li Dong's people might launch a surprise attack. The official claim was that the place was under renovation and that business was suspended. It was certainly better than being under attack.
"Kai, when are we going to reopen Haiqing Pool?" Huang Bo spoke up, "Continuing to keep it closed like this doesn't seem too good, does it?"
"What's not good?" Zhou Kai asked, "I think it's quite alright; what do you think?"
Huang Bo laughed and said, "We're losing tens of thousands a day. You tell if that's not a loss!"
"A loss!" Zhou Kai nodded and said, "But it's better than being harassed, right? Having fought Jingwu Sect to this state, they will definitely seek retaliation. When Haiqing Pool reopens, it will surely beco a target for their vengeance. What do you think?"
"You have a point," Huang Bo nodded and said, "But we can't keep going like this indefinitely; we need to figure sothing out."
"Let's wait for Brother Chuan's return to discuss it," Zhou Kai replied.
"This..." Huang Bo thought for a mont, then nodded helplessly and said, "Alright. We can only wait for Brother Chuan's return then."
At that mont, soone shouted, "Brother Chuan is back!"
"Damn, who's spreading rumors over there?" Huang Bo frowned.
Soon after, a group of people dashed towards the main entrance. Everyone sward there, gathering at the entrance. They all shouted, "Brother Chuan, are you back?"
"Brother Chuan, it's great, you've finally returned?"
"Why are you all so excited?" Lin Chuan was holding a cigarette; the taxi had already turned around and left.
"Heh heh, we got bullied last night," Li Qiang scratched his head and said, "But we fought back already."
"What happened?" Lin Chuan asked, puzzled.
Li Qiang hurriedly explained, "Last night, Monk and his gang tead up with the people from Jingwu Sect. They actually ca together to trash our venues and took over all our bars..."
"There's such a thing?" Lin Chuan asked.
"Yes!" Li Qiang imdiately nodded.
At this mont, Zhou Kai and Lu Dapao hurried over.
"Bro Chuan, you're really back?" Zhou Kai was overjoyed, excitedly giving Lin Chuan a bear hug before saying, "That's great, it's ti for our revenge."
"First co in and give a clear account of the situation," Lin Chuan said.
Imdiately after, they all entered Feixiang Company.
Zhou Kai explained the situation in detail. Lin Chuan pondered, "How could Monk's people suddenly join forces together? Who's stirring things up behind the scenes?"
"It's like this!" Lu Dapao quickly said, "Actually, it's because we pressed them too hard."
"What do you an?" Lin Chuan asked eagerly.
After thinking for a bit, Lu Dapao said, "Recently, we've been taking over Dongbei Hu's turf, and other smaller factions are also looking to stake a claim. However, we didn't give them any chance at all. Probably because of this, it's caused their wrath."
Lin Chuan took a puff of his cigarette, saying, "If you have strength, you naturally have the right to speak; without strength, why should you be given the right to speak?"
Lu Dapao let out a cold laugh, then said, "Bro Chuan, this ti Monk and his people have caused Liu Cheng serious injuries. He's in the ICU now. You tell us, how should we deal with them."
"Monk?" Lin Chuan scoffed, "I think the main character is still Li Dong, right? The Sect Leader of Jingwu Sect, so openly leading people to trample over our turf? They've completely disregarded us, why not just wipe out Jingwu Sect directly?"
"We'd like to," Zhou Kai said with an embarrassed smile, "but after all, Jingwu Sect is a martial arts school. Last night, we taught them a harsh lesson. I guess now Li Dong is racking his brains to deal with us."
"If that's the case, then let's just open our doors wide and let them co," Lin Chuan said with a cold laugh, "This afternoon, Haiqing Pool will open. Tonight, we will take this opportunity to unify the eastern district, wipe out all those cockroaches and ants that hide in the dark. The eastern district belongs to the Jvyi Gang, and nobody else should even think about interfering."
"Great!" Zhou Kai was thrilled, "Bro Chuan, I just love this."
"Go, get the brothers ready," Lin Chuan stood up and said, "I'll make a trip to the City Committee first, you guys take care of tonight's matters."
Having said that, Lin Chuan imdiately got up and headed for the City Committee.
............
Ever since Lin Chuan killed Song Hao, it had been almost a month since he last went to the City Committee. And the people at the City Committee had gradually forgotten about Lin Chuan. The security guards at the entrance of the City Committee would at first excitedly discuss Lin Chuan's matters, but as ti passed, they gradually lost interest. Although they knew Lin Chuan was a significant figure, as days went by without seeing him, they naturally began to forget little by little.
"Lin Chuan hasn't co to work for quite so ti!" a security guard said.
"Hmm!" Another security guard took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Sigh, without Lin Chuan, the City Committee has lost its buzz."
"Exactly." The security guard nodded, "Without Lin Chuan, the City Committee seems to have beco stagnant water. With Lin Chuan around, we could watch the excitent every day. Now, the excitent is gone, and every day it's beco lifeless. Sigh..."
"What, you miss being bullied by Lin Chuan?" another security guard teased with a laugh, "You kid, he's even slapped you around!"
"So what?" The security guard said with disdain, "No matter what, Lin Chuan is capable. I'm happy even to be slapped by him."
"Haha, you really are a glutton for punishnt," the security guard said, laughing heartily.
"I actually think Lin Chuan is an impressive guy," another security guard also lit a cigarette, then said, "This guy makes feel even us poor folks can fight for dignity."
"Now that you ntion it, I agree."
It seed both guards had a heartfelt respect for Lin Chuan.
While they were chatting, suddenly, a familiar jeep ca driving over. The car didn't have a license plate, and the front was badly scratched up. The car stopped at the entrance and honked twice. Without looking up, one security guard responded, "What's with the honking, what do you want?"
