"Account book?" I chuckled, "Do you really think Lin Mautsai would let you see the account book?"
"This..." Zou Tianyi was taken aback.
"Zou Tianyi," I said, "what I want is Xia Yin's account book, not the casino's. I need to know how much Xia Yin earns in a day, how much he spends, and where all that money goes."
"My lord," Zou Tianyi said with a bitter smile, "I'm afraid that's impossible..."
"If you can't do it, then what am I supposed to do?" I replied coldly.
"This..." Zou Tianyi was at a loss for words.
"Zou Tianyi," I continued, "didn't you say you would help me take down Xia Yin? How can you not handle something as simple as this?"
"My lord," Zou Tianyi said with a bitter smile, "it's not that I don't want to help; it's just... I really don't know where to start..."
"Alright," I sighed. "Let me ask you, who are the people around Lin Mautsai?"
"Lin Mautsai's side..." Zou Tianyi thought for a moment and replied, "The person he trusts the most is Lu Ming; he is Xia Yin's second-in-command. Besides him, there are several shopkeepers from different branches who are also Lin Mautsai's trusted aides."
"Do these people have any weaknesses?" I asked.
"Weaknesses..." Zou Tianyi pondered for a moment and answered, "Lu Ming likes money; he manages most of Xia Yin's business and has made quite a bit for himself. Zhao Sitong from the Wuyi Alley branch likes women; he needs to have a woman with him every night to be able to sleep. Fei Mingzong from the Pear Tree Gully branch is timid and easily panics at the slightest trouble..."
Zou Tianyi mentioned five or six people in one breath, and after listening, I frowned.
Although these individuals have weaknesses, none of them are fatal. Even if I expose their weaknesses, it would be difficult to bring down Xia Yin.
Unless...
"Zou Tianyi," I asked, "do you have any way to take down Xia Yin?"
"Take down Xia Yin?" Zou Tianyi was taken aback. "My lord, didn't you want to control Xia Yin?"
"I do want to control Xia Yin," I replied. "But if I can't control it, then I will have to bring it down."
"This..." Zou Tianyi was stunned again.
"Zou Tianyi," I said, "I'll give you three people. Take them back to Xia Yin and find a way to establish a foothold there. Then, look for an opportunity to get rid of Lin Mautsai for me. At that time, you can become the Shopkeeper of Xia Yin. How does that sound?"
Zou Tianyi's eyes lit up.
"My lord," Zou Tianyi said excitedly, "you can rest assured! I will do my best!"
"Not just do your best," I said coldly. "You must succeed!"
"Understood!" Zou Tianyi quickly responded.
“Bufei,” I called out, and Yuan Bufei walked in.
“Sir,” Yuan Bufei stood beside me, waiting for my orders.
“You take three people and go with Zou Tianyi to Xia Yin,” I said. “The four of you will follow Zou Tianyi from now on. What he says is what I say, understood?”
“Yes!” Yuan Bufei replied.
“Zou Tianyi,” I continued, “these three are my trusted confidants, and they will listen to you. After you return, find a way to replace Zhao Sitong and have Yuan Bufei take over as the Shopkeeper of Wuyi Alley. This is your first step and a crucial one; you must execute it well, understood?”
“Yes!” Zou Tianyi replied.
“Also,” I said, “you must always remember your position; everything you have is given by me. If one day you betray me…”
