"Ha ha, I understand your intentions," Dingxiang said with a bitter smile. "But with just the few of us, what can we do against the Black Dragon Society? I know that with your skills, there might be a slim chance of killing those few people, but what would happen after that? It could lead to a full-scale retaliation from the entire Black Dragon Society, and at that point, our small group wouldn't stand a chance."
It was unexpected that Dingxiang, being a woman, had considered so many things. If it were Xin Yi, he would have sought revenge without hesitation and wouldn't have thought about such matters. After finishing the job, he would simply walk away; as long as he could kill his enemies, he wouldn't mind going on the run afterward.
However, Dingxiang's concerns didn't hold much significance for Xin Yi. He wasn't just thinking about killing a few masterminds; he aimed to take down the entire Black Dragon Society. If it were merely about eliminating a few leaders of the Black Dragon Society, that would have been accomplished long ago. Even if it sparked a full-blown conflict with the Black Dragon Society, he wouldn't be afraid. His Beng Hu Camp brothers were true warriors who had seen bloodshed; dealing with the street thugs of the Black Dragon Society would be like child's play.
Nevertheless, Xin Yi wasn't the type of commander who liked to inflict heavy losses on himself while trying to kill others. If he could avoid using large-scale force, he would do so because this was still within the territory of Heavenly Pride Nation. Gang conflicts should ideally be kept low-key; above all else, ensuring that the people living in this land could live and work in peace was most important. In this regard, our comrade Xin Yi was indeed quite patriotic.
Dingxiang didn't understand Xin Yi's true capabilities, so her thoughts were understandable. Xin Yi said to her, "Sister Ding, leave this matter to me. Let Lin Xi take you back to Qiyang City first; I still have some things to take care of. By the way, can you guess who the casino boss is?"
"The casino boss is Li Gang. He was originally an Incense Master under Kanglong Hall. After causing Xiaowei's death, he took over Xiaowei's position as Hall Master. In reality, he is the true planner and executor of this incident," Dingxiang replied.
So that's how it is. The casino boss was Li Gang all along, which explains why a casino boss was involved—he wanted to rise to power. It seems that even back then, Li Gang was quite capable; he could directly contact the Vice Leader and Hall Master of Hidden Dragon Hall. Of course, if Xin Yi knew about Li Gang's background, this wouldn't be surprising at all since Li Gang had always been an old subordinate of Ren Xiaotian, the leader of the Black Dragon Society. His role as an Incense Master at Kanglong Hall was also part of Ren Xiaotian's arrangement to keep an eye on Tong Xiaowei.
"What do you plan to do with these two?" Dingxiang asked again.
"These two are the executors and direct witnesses of that murder case. I need to send them back to Longchuan; they will naturally have their uses later," Xin Yi answered. "Also, Sister Ding, I’ll tell you honestly now—we are not fugitives at all. Her name is Lu Hanmeng; she is a detective from the Longchuan City Public Security Bureau Criminal Police Team. Her mission here is to go undercover in the Black Dragon Society."
"Oh? Is that so?" Although Dingxiang was somewhat surprised, she didn't panic. She looked at Xin Yi and asked, "If she's a police officer, then what is your identity? Are you also a police officer?"
"Well, I'm not really a police officer; I'm just an ordinary citizen. I came along with her simply because we are friends," Xin Yi's answer wasn't entirely a lie since he truly was an ordinary citizen; his military identity wasn't officially recognized. The behind-the-scenes boss of the Three Tiger Group? Wasn't that still just an ordinary citizen? Just because you have money doesn't make you a prominent citizen.
"Oh, really?" Although Dingxiang didn't believe him completely, she didn't press further and simply said, "If you think that just because you're from Longchuan Police you can take down the Black Dragon Society, then that's too naive. Not only is your jurisdiction not even close to here, but even if you were granted enforcement rights in Yongzhou, you still wouldn't have the capability to bring down the Black Dragon Society. Over these years, how many task forces has the Ministry of Public Security established? But which task force has truly found the Achilles' heel of the Black Dragon Society? None! If the Black Dragon Society collapses, half of Yongzhou Province's economy might go down with it. Do you think those officials in Yongzhou would allow the Black Dragon Society to fall?"
"Why should we let the Black Dragon Society fall apart?" Xin Yi said. "Every organization has its reasons for existence. We're not saying we want to destroy the Black Dragon Society; we're just suggesting that if it's possible, why not transform it? Just like you and Xiaowei did back in the day."
"Hahaha... It seems you're as naive as Xiaowei and I were. Transforming a gang is easier said than done. Xiaowei and I came with the same mindset, but what was the outcome? All we got was a gang that was financially struggling, which led to Ren Xiaotian's assassination. The mistake was our naivety; a gang is a gang—what can it be transformed into?" Dingxiang sighed, pondering for a moment before adding, "However, I've heard of a legendary figure in Binhai who successfully transformed a gang. I hear that now the gangs in Binhai have shifted to legitimate businesses and are doing quite well. If I get the chance, I'd love to seek some advice from that legendary figure."
The refreshing taste of ice-cold watermelon in summer and hot water bags in winter! Xin Yi felt so pleased inside! Am I really that famous? Am I truly a legendary figure in the eyes of such a beautiful lady from the neighboring province? Hahaha... Is this praise too extravagant? Oh dear, how can I, Xin Yi, handle this?
Lu Hanmeng and Shen Liwei were naturally aware of Xin Yi's deeds. Now, seeing someone praising him right in front of him while observing Xin Yi's barely concealed smugness, Shen Liwei remained indifferent, but Lu Hanmeng couldn't hold back any longer. She snorted and said, "That guy? Pfft, what legendary figure? He's just a typical playboy. Don't be fooled by rumors, Ding Aunt."
"A playboy?" Dingxiang was puzzled by Lu Hanmeng's words. I just said he was a legendary figure who transformed a gang; how does that relate to being a playboy? Besides, does being a playboy have anything to do with transforming a gang? So Dingxiang replied, "Being a playboy is a common flaw among men. But if he's such a capable man, what's wrong with having multiple wives as long as the women are willing?"
Ding Aunt, you truly understand me! Your words are the most comforting I've ever heard—much more substantial than being called some legendary figure! Xin Yi's heart shouted out, wishing he could rush over and spin around with the lovely Dingxiang.
"Capable? Pfft!" Lu Hanmeng spoke again. Dingxiang's reasoning left her dissatisfied. What kind of logic is that? Why should he be allowed to have multiple wives? The marriage law in Heavenly Pride Nation clearly states monogamy, which means monogamy is supported by the working people. Why should he be treated differently? So Lu Hanmeng angrily said, "What capability does he have? It's just his ability to charm women; he spins them around his finger—that's his talent!"
Uh... Xin Yi felt extremely frustrated. How can you say that about me? I admit I do prefer... women, but isn't that based on mutual consent? Take you, Lu Hanmeng; although I have some feelings for you—not just some but quite a lot—I still haven't acted on it. I'm waiting for the right opportunity! How can you say that about me?
Even Dingxiang could tell Lu Hanmeng's statement was filled with emotion. She looked at Lu Hanmeng and asked, "Lu Officer, you seem to dislike him so much. Do you know him? Has he tried to charm you?"
The situation was spiraling out of control now. Xin Yi wanted to interrupt their conversation but also wanted to hear Lu Hanmeng's answer; he felt torn between two choices. Shen Liwei couldn't hold back any longer and rushed to the bathroom, trying to stifle his laughter.
"Huh? Charm me?" Lu Hanmeng didn't expect Dingxiang to ask her that question and was momentarily at a loss for words. Did he charm me? It seems not. What he did wasn't charming; it was lustful—he directly expressed his desires several times during our brief time together. Why can't he just charm me instead? Would it kill him to do so? Maybe if he did... No, no! Lu Hanmeng startled herself with her own thoughts; such ideas were unacceptable!
"Who needs him to charm them?! What is he even worth? If that playboy dares to mess with me, I'll definitely kick him where it hurts!" Although Lu Hanmeng was a typical Violent Girl, she was still an unmarried young woman and couldn't say everything she thought out loud. However, she had momentarily lost control of her mouth and had no choice but to retract her words awkwardly.
Hearing Lu Hanmeng's words, Xin Yi couldn't help but feel a pang of frustration. Seriously, haven't you kicked enough last time? You kicked me so hard that I had to take anti-inflammatory medication for several days to recover, almost castrating Bros in the process. Do you really want to do it again? No way, absolutely not! If you have such thoughts again, Bros will definitely take you down on the spot!
"Lu Officer, you're quite strange," Dingxiang said. "Do you have a deep-seated grudge against that person? Why do you hate him so much? I just said he has transformed the gang quite well, why such a big reaction?"
"Strange? Am I strange? No, I don't think I reacted that strongly," Lu Hanmeng seemed to be caught off guard, but she couldn't admit she had ulterior motives, so she deliberately changed the subject. "I think you're the one who's a bit strange, admiring that person so much. Are you perhaps interested in him? Should I introduce you? I actually know him."
"Really? You know that person?" Dingxiang exclaimed in surprise but quickly fell back into disappointment. "But it doesn't matter; even if I knew his methods, with my current position in the Black Dragon Society, I wouldn't be able to do anything."
"You could ask him for help. From what I know, he seems quite willing to assist you, though whether he has any ulterior motives, I can't say," Lu Hanmeng said while glancing at Xin Yi, who was sweating profusely nearby.
Sorry for coming back late!
