"Law Enforcement Bureau?"

In Shanquan Manor, Zhou Cheng was sitting in his office, frowning as he listened to the reports from his subordinates.

"That's right, Brother Zhou. And there were a lot of cars there. Look, these are the photos our people took that day..."

Zhou Cheng picked up the phone and looked at it for a while, frowning even more tightly. After asking his subordinates to step back, he turned to Ding Nan who was sitting next to him and asked:

"What do you think?"

"If they are so grand, then there is no need to be afraid." Ding Nan smiled slightly.

"How to say?"

"If the Maowei Gang and Yali Company are indeed in contact behind the scenes, why would they bring this matter to the stage like this? I have exact information here. It seems that Chu Xiaoye is involved in some case. Those from the Law Enforcement Bureau

People are just foils."

"Who can let the Law Enforcement Bureau accompany them?" Zhou Cheng asked repeatedly.

"That's not clear. According to the informant who was nearby that day, after the Law Enforcement Bureau was driven away, some other force cleared the area and searched the area for a long time."

"..."

Zhou Cheng stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked repeatedly.

He hadn't slept well for a long time, and his hair had fallen out a lot. He was afraid that one day people from Yali Company would suddenly break in and ransack his home.

"Is your information reliable?"

"It's absolutely true. After all, I still have a 'keep' over there."

A smile appeared on Ding Nan's lips. As the deputy and strategist of the Fish Head Gang, his IQ is usually online.

"And, there is another news..." He leaned close to Zhou Cheng and whispered.

"...If this is the case, we were really fooled by a little girl." Zhou Cheng said in a deep voice.

In the past few months, Zhou Cheng's heart bleeds every time he thinks about the territory he lost.

Jiuhuan East Street is one-sixth of the business. Thinking of the millions of profits that belong to him, he wants to rush directly into Princess Ye and eat Chu Xiaoye alive.

"I can't wait any longer, so I'll do as you say." Zhou Cheng's smile was a little ferocious, "This dark street has been peaceful for so long, it's time for blood!"

——

Gong Xiaoran has been a little worried recently.

She has been unable to contact Chu Yao. Although she knew that the other party might be going to retreat this time, it was still worrying that she had not contacted him for such a long time.

The development within the gang is steady and steady, but the situation outside the gang is not optimistic.

Around the urban area of ​​​​East Street, the Yutou Gang constantly sent young men to harass the border area, and there were small-scale frictions almost every day.

Even though everyone in the Mao Tail Gang has practiced martial arts, they still haven't practiced martial arts for a long time, and the other side has the advantage of having more people. Every conflict will eventually turn into a siege, and eventually one's side will be defeated.

Fortunately, it did not escalate into a bigger conflict and no one died.

But that day may not be far away.

"Deputy Gang Leader Gong, we can't retreat blindly, otherwise we will only make the other party think that we are easy to bully." Chen Qingyu spoke from the side.

Several of them, the cadres of the Mao Tail Gang, were discussing countermeasures in Princess Ye's conference room.

"I also agree that we should take the initiative and catch them off guard!"

Lin Wu is the one with high fighting spirit. Her martial arts have improved rapidly and she has become one of the top figures in Maoya Hall.

"...I think it's better to wait until Sister Chu comes back to make a decision. She is the gang leader after all." Gong Xiaoran was silent for a moment and said softly.

"Xiaoran, you and I both know that Sister Chu may not be able to come back in a short time..."

Among the people present, only Gong Xiaoran and Chen Qingyu knew that Chu Yao had gone to retreat.

"The strength of the troops is already on paper. We are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered. If we don't strike first, the gang will be surrounded and eventually eaten away! Why don't you understand?"

Chen Qingyu was a little anxious. In his opinion, although Gong Xiaoran was good at management, he was too indecisive and did not know enough about this kind of war game.

"I'm not against taking the initiative, I just don't want the foundation that Sister Chu has worked so hard to build to be ruined."

"Would it not be possible to just give in blindly and be destroyed? The Yutou Gang has already mobilized nearly 600 people on the southwest sides, and is also gathering in the north. If we don't take action now, it will really be a dead end when they form an encirclement!

Where can we retreat and all jump into the sea together?"

"...wait a little longer." Gong Xiaoran bit her lip.

She knew what Chen Qingyu said was right, and maybe Chu Yao would make the same choice as him when he came back.

But when faced with a choice, she still couldn't overcome the hurdle in her heart - once the two sides went to war, there would definitely be casualties.

Gong Xiaoran watched the Mao Tail Gang grow up. In her eyes, many members were just young children, which reminded her of Qiu'er.

She couldn't bear to watch them die.

There was still a glimmer of hope in her heart. Maybe the other party was just forcing her, maybe they wouldn't really start a fight. Maybe Chu Yao would be able to do something when he came back. After all, she was the only one among the people who had recovered her cultivation.

"Dong dong dong!"

Suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door outside the conference room.

"Enter!"

"Palace Master Chen, there is another fight on the Jinghe Road side." The young girl who came in to deliver the message bowed slightly to the big bosses.

"How many people were injured this time?"

"Four people were injured," the younger sister paused.

"One person died..."

The conference room suddenly became eerily quiet, and Gong Xiaoran's body trembled.

"They're from Team 3 on the other side of Jinghe Road, right?" Jiang Erwen said, "Who died?"

"It's Zhang Hua, the captain of Cat Claw Team 3. The five of them were surrounded by members of the Fish Head Gang while on patrol. Captain Zhang stayed behind to cover the others and was beaten to death."

After a long stalemate, the first victim finally appeared.

"Let the Maowei team on Jinghe Road place his body properly, and I will personally arrange his funeral." Chen Qingyu said in a deep voice. When his little sister took the order and went out, he turned to Gong Xiaoran and said:

"Deputy Gang Leader Gong, do you think we still have to wait?"

He did not deliberately target Gong Xiaoran, but among everyone here, she was the first to follow Chu Yao to conquer the world in Tianhai City, so her words still carry a lot of weight.

Not all people present were from the Tianyin Sect, and there were quite a few who supported Gong Xiaoran.

"...Just do as you say." Gong Xiaoran felt that he had used up all his strength to say these words, and sighed and leaned on the back of the sofa.

"Okay. Next, let's assign a task. Yao Han..."

Everyone present took action after receiving the order. The number of people in the conference room gradually decreased, and finally only Chen Qingyu and Gong Xiaoran were left.

"Xiaoran, I didn't mean to target you."

"I understand. I know that maybe Sister Chu will make the same choice when she comes back. After all, you are from the same clan and know her better than I do."

"Understood... I can't say for sure. Elder Chu is famous for being a hands-off shopkeeper." Chen Qingyu smiled.

"However, I thought you would support me, which is not like you. I thought you were the one who hates the Fish Head Gang the most among us."

"Do you hate it? Maybe I have experienced too much and I don't want others to experience the same pain... I know that there will definitely be a battle with the Fish Head Gang, and I am mentally prepared for it, but when I really reach this position and make a decision

At that time, I thought that the more than 400 people who trusted me might never see the sun tomorrow again because of my words... I hesitated.

Head Chen, I know you may think I am weak, I just don’t want to watch others die with my own eyes."

"Deaths and injuries are certain. If there is a fight, there will be sacrifices. But if there are not a few sacrifices, more people will lose their lives... Just call me by my name."

"So, you are more suitable for this position than me, Chen...Qingyu." Gong Xiaoran was a little tired, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Back then on the Feng Yuan Star, I was just a free and easy cultivator. At that time, my husband and I were flying high in the sky, looking at all living beings as ants. I only realized that mortals' lives are like mayflies, and their lives are precarious."

"But later, my husband died and Qiu'er left. After such a catastrophe, I suddenly realized how important human life is.

Even ants have their own lives. As long as they are alive, there is hope, but when they die, they are really dead and have nothing..."

"Xiaoran, you need to rest." Chen Qingyu said with sincere concern in his tone.

"Don't go for the night operation. I'll let Yao Han and Lin Wu lead the team. You can have a good sleep."

"Rest? It's probably time for me to rest." Gong Xiaoran rubbed his forehead.

"I am able to get to where I am today only because of Sister Chu's trust. I am really not suitable to be in this position. When she comes back, I will resign as deputy gang leader..."

What the two of them didn't know was that there was still a person outside the door who heard these words.
