Zheng Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.
"Brother Dong, I know you might still not fully trust me. This kind of doubt can indeed take you further, but I want to say that I have no ill intentions towards you."
I smiled as well. Perhaps he was right. Deep down, I wanted to believe Zheng Yu, but looking at the current situation, I was unsure of his motives, and he didn’t offer any explanations. Moreover, Zheng Yu often seemed to see right through my thoughts.
Being understood by someone else, having all your cards laid bare—what a terrifying situation for an undercover agent!
"You understand the next step is to deal with Liu Haoran's position, but the situation is too chaotic right now. I've been thinking about it for a while and haven't come up with a suitable approach. Do you have any ideas?" I asked Zheng Yu after taking a sip from a bottle of water.
"No," Zheng Yu replied honestly.
"Then what’s there to discuss? If we can't create opportunities, we can only wait for them," I said, but Zheng Yu disagreed.
"I can't create opportunities, but you should be able to. You should still be able to make something happen," Zheng Yu insisted.
I was puzzled and asked, "What do you suggest?"
"Stir up trouble between Liu Haoran and Chen!" Zheng Yu suggested.
I frowned; it wasn't that I disagreed, but it felt a bit forced. "That could backfire easily."
"Yesterday I received news that Ning Chuan is going on a business trip, and this time it will be a long one with heavy responsibilities. He won't have time to manage this little issue of yours. You can take advantage of Ning Chuan's absence to figure out how to seize Liu Haoran's position," Zheng Yu explained.
I understood immediately; so that's how it was—Ning Chuan would be away!
As I was still aligned with Chen's faction, wanting Liu Haoran's position meant I couldn't approach Ning Chuan directly; I had to work through Chen instead. However, if I wanted to sit in Liu Haoran's seat, I needed to show Chen my loyalty. Playing both sides like this wouldn’t work.
But if Ning Chuan were around and caught wind of my scheme, my relationship with him would be ruined. He would find a way to eliminate me. Now that Ning Chuan was away and distracted, this could indeed be my opportunity.
"I see," I nodded. I wanted to keep things stable for a while longer, but Zheng Yu made sense—without Ning Chuan around, the situation wasn’t as chaotic. And now that Ning Chuan had been assigned a mission and sent away?
It was clear that Ning Chuan wouldn’t willingly leave the Kyoto Headquarters in Chen's hands while he was absent; he would surely try to undermine Chen’s authority! From the looks of it now, it seemed that Ning Chuan couldn't outmaneuver Chen.
Afterward, Zheng Yu and I discussed how to sow discord between Liu Haoran and Chen. Liu Haoran had mediocre abilities and hadn’t accomplished much under Chen’s leadership; if we could make Liu Haoran mess up—make a significant mistake—it would reveal his true capabilities.
But what kind of mistake could we make him commit?
I pondered over this.
Liu Haoran wasn’t without his own power; he had his own business interests as well. However, his influence and assets weren’t based in Kyoto—they were all part of Tian Ye Group. We could target his business interests.
"Oh? What business?"
I asked curiously after hearing this. It seemed that Zheng Yu knew more than anyone else about Liu Haoran’s assets and influence—something I had no idea about. I believed Geng Kun and the others wouldn’t know either.
"Counterfeit money."
"What?"
I was taken aback. "Counterfeit money?"
Yes, counterfeit money. Liu Haoran turned out to have a group of younger brothers in Kyoto. Before you came, they all went to He Nan to run a counterfeit money factory. Zheng Yu smiled and said to me, it turns out that Tian Ye Group not only opened a casino, but also started printing Fake Currency? How do you know this? I was a little surprised to see Zheng Yu asking, this is definitely Liu Haoran's secret among secrets! I was wondering why Liu Haoran ran to He Nan without any warning! When I was under Xiong Li, Liu Haoran stayed in He Nan for a long time. It doesn’t matter, right? The Fake Currency template is given by the higher-ups. If you just send someone to steal the Fake Currency template they made, I believe Chen will naturally be furious. Zheng Yu smiled and said, of course! Chen was already furious when the casino was closed down. What if Liu Haoran lost the Fake Currency template! Then Liu Haoran has no chance of survival, as he will definitely be pushed out by Chen to bear the responsibility! And now I am Chen Xinchang's subordinate, so Liu Haoran's position will naturally be mine! This is a good plan, but it sounds simple but it is not that easy to do, right? Liu Sen just left, why didn’t you tell me earlier? I saw Zheng Yu speechless and said, I definitely can't go on this mission. Liu Haoran being dealt with by Chen is in the best interest of me. Even a blind man can see that. If I don't go to He Nan, this matter has nothing to do with me. If I go to He Nan, how do I explain it? What a coincidence? So it would be most reliable to let Liu Sen handle this matter! He has the ability. Didn't I just get the news? Also, you can't wait until Liu Sen comes back. I also found out their specific location this time. They change their location every half a month. Seize this opportunity. Zheng Yu said, I frowned after hearing this, when doing something like this, you must use reliable people, if something goes wrong, it will be over. No, I can lend you some people, but you have to choose a leader, Wan Fei and Xiao Ba, they are both pretty good. Zheng Yu continued, and it was obvious that he cared more about this matter than I did. Isn’t your news website really awesome? How can you receive news like this? Also, aren't you a TigerHall member? Is it considered borrowing if I use you? I looked at Zheng Yu speechlessly and said, how the hell are these people my subordinates? How come it's not considered a loan? Don't use your status as a hall leader to pressure me. It's useless to ask me for information. I'm leaving. You can talk to Xiaohe Wan Fei. Zheng Yu actually stood up and walked away. Damn, he saw through me again! I just want to use my status as the hall master to pressure him to share his news network with me! His information network is so powerful! Don’t say that I, the leader of Tiger Hall, don’t have such a powerful information network. I can even find out if Liu Haoran has this kind of business outside and where they are hiding. Even Liu Haoran the Kyoto South District boss! He wouldn't have such a powerful information network! Who is he? What are you going to do now? This question bothers me more and more. If he is my enemy, why does he basically not hide his mystery in front of me? He didn't care at all that I would be wary and worried about him, which seemed to prove that he had nothing to hide. If he was a friend, like he said, he wanted to help Linna get revenge, why didn't he be honest with me? Still keeping so many secrets? There seems to be an explanation for these problems, but I have no way of pinning it down yet. After Zheng Yu left, I called Xiao, who was closest to me. Xiao was really the most suitable person for this task, but except Xiao and Wan Fei, the rest of the people had to be done by Zheng Yu's men. After all, I didn't spend a long time in contact with my younger brothers, and I didn't have many loyal followers except Liu Sen, Wan Fei and others. Zheng Yu definitely had some. Go to He Nan? Stealing templates? Xiao was shocked when he heard it. I smiled and nodded and said: How is it? Can you do it? able! Dong GeI will do whatever you tell me to do. Xiao Chong nodded and said, and I responded after hearing that! Then tell him to start taking action in three days and deal with all the matters at hand.
After notifying Xiao Yi, I informed Wan Fei. The moment he heard there was work to do, especially something so thrilling, he couldn't contain his excitement.
The next day, Zheng Yu brought me a team of sixteen people. Among them were some I recognized and some I didn't.
"Are they reliable?" I asked, sizing up the group Zheng Yu had brought. They all looked strong and capable, which was a good sign, but what mattered most was their reliability.
"Don't worry, if I wasn't sure, would I bring them here?" Zheng Yu replied with a smile. I nodded; that gave me some assurance. I then called over Wan Fei and Xiao Yi to let them get acquainted with the team.
"Wow! These guys are under my command?" Wan Fei exclaimed, clearly impressed.
When Wan Fei arrived, he scrutinized the sixteen individuals with an expression that suggested he had just seen a beautiful woman undressed—his gaze made everyone feel uneasy.
Having spent considerable time on the streets with Wan Fei, I knew he had decent fighting skills. He could assess a person's combat ability just by looking at their physique; you could tell the difference between muscles built in a gym and those honed through real combat training. And these sixteen were undoubtedly top-notch! In the Underworld, having capable subordinates is crucial. Wan Fei wished for a group of impressive followers to elevate his status as a leader, but that dream had yet to materialize.
"Hey, Yu Ge," Wan Fei suddenly said, eyeing the group. It seemed someone among the sixteen couldn't take it anymore. In this era, where homosexuality was not uncommon, it was clear that Wan Fei's earlier demeanor had made some of these men uncomfortable.
"What are you stuttering for? Let me tell you! From now on, I'm your boss! Call me Brother Fei!" Wan Fei declared loudly, reclaiming his bold attitude. So now he considered himself the leader? It seemed he had taken quite an interest in this group.
However, silence fell over the room.
"Hey? Why aren't you responding? Didn't you hear me? Call me Brother Fei!" Wan Fei insisted again, but still no one acknowledged him. The sixteen looked at Zheng Yu and me with pleading eyes as if asking if they could avoid having this fool lead them.
"Call him Brother Fei!" Zheng Yu commanded.
"Brother Fei!" they finally echoed in unison, their voices booming. The sudden response startled Wan Fei.
"Ahem! Well then, you all can step outside for a bit; I need to talk to Yu Ge and Dong Ge," Wan Fei said after clearing his throat. The sixteen complied without protest and turned to leave. Once they were gone, Wan Fei turned to Zheng Yu with a grin that hinted at mischief.
