"Are you really willing to help me? Do you have some ulterior motive?" Dingxiang was confused by Lu Hanmeng's words and thought to herself, is this Lu Officer running a fever? Why is he talking nonsense? Dingxiang said, "Forget it, let's not talk about that. By the way, Xin Shanli, can you safely escort these two back to Longchuan? If not, just take them back and find someone to keep an eye on them; there shouldn't be any problems."
"What Xin Shanli?" Before Xin Yi could speak, Lu Hanmeng interrupted, "His name is not Xin Shanli; it's Xin Yi."
"Oh, then it's Xin Yi. It's just a name; it doesn't matter. Besides, in the future at the Black Dragon Society, I'll have to call you by your fake names anyway," Dingxiang said with a smile.
"That's not the same! Xin Yi, don't you know what this name means?"
"Xin Yi? I don't know; didn't I just hear you say it? Forget it, let's not get caught up in names. Let's talk about our next plan."
"No, this name is different from others. It's the name of someone you've admired day and night. You really don't know?" Lu Hanmeng continued to stir the pot, leaving Xin Yi sweating nervously on the side, afraid to speak up. Could he rush over to Dingxiang and say: Actually, I am the legendary figure you just mentioned? No, he couldn't do that because impressive people don't need to boast about their impressiveness; it has to be acknowledged by others for it to be real impressiveness. Therefore, impressive people are usually very modest.
"What difference does it make? Who is this person I've admired day and night? Lu Officer, don't misunderstand; I have a good relationship with Xin Shanli... I mean Xin Yi. But please don't get the wrong idea; it's definitely not what you're thinking. Besides, I'm already of this age—ha ha ha... so please don't misunderstand."
"What misunderstanding are you talking about? It's not me who misunderstood; it's you who misunderstood. In fact, he and I are truly not in the kind of relationship you're imagining. Between us..." Lu Hanmeng quickly tried to explain.
This explanation only made things more chaotic. What kind of messy misunderstandings were these? Are you misunderstanding me or am I misunderstanding you? It made Xin Yi feel like he had become the biggest misunderstanding of all. Don't you both want to turn that misunderstanding into reality? Xin Yi felt quite frustrated; how did he suddenly become someone nobody cared about? Were they both trying to shirk responsibility?
"Enough! Stop talking!" Xin Yi finally shouted in anger. He could no longer hold back. What were they doing? It seemed like anyone who got involved with him would be cursed. After all, we are supposed to be quality idols of the new generation across centuries; how could they treat him like this? "If neither of you is tired, then you can watch these two here while Li Wei and I go rest in the next room. We have work to do when dawn breaks."
As soon as this issue was raised, the two women who had previously been at odds suddenly formed a united front and said in unison: "How can you say such a thing? Don't you have any gentlemanly demeanor? Of course, it's your job as men to keep watch at night. You stay here while we go rest next door."
After saying this, the two women swayed their hips and walked away. Just as they reached the bathroom door, they bumped into Shen Liwei coming out from inside. Staring at Dingxiang's swaying figure, Shen Liwei was momentarily stunned until Xin Yi called him back to reality and asked blankly, "I say, who is this woman? Does she have a boyfriend?"
Xin Yi looked at Shen Liwei in disbelief. No way? This guy actually had romantic feelings? It seemed that he had never heard him talk about women before, let alone have any interest in them. He thought Shen Liwei was only interested in fighting, but it turned out he liked mature and elegant women? Well, that was fine; after all, Shen Liwei was his brother-in-law. As the saying goes, good fortune should not flow to outsiders.
The next day, Xin Yi had originally planned for Lu Hanmeng to take Dingxiang back to Qiyang City. However, the Violent Girl had probably discussed it with Dingxiang the night before and insisted that Dingxiang return on her own. She wanted to stay with Xin Yi and continue their activities together. This made it a bit difficult for Xin Yi to refuse. The previous night, she had already been unhappy about not being included in their plans, and if he were to leave her out again, given Lu Hanmeng's combative nature, she would likely confront him right then and there. So, Xin Yi could only agree to Lu Hanmeng's request.
Dingxiang was unaware of what Xin Yi and the others were planning next. She thought capturing Zhou Guang and Tian Dafei was enough and could not imagine that Xin Yi would have the audacity to target even more formidable individuals. Of course, Xin Yi did not tell her this; she couldn't help in any way at this point, and informing her would only cause her worry.
Thus, Xin Yi asked Shen Liwei to take Dingxiang back to Qiyang City. The route from Liyuan City to Longchuan would pass through Qiyang City, so it was convenient; they just needed to exit the highway when the time came. Zhou Guang and Tian Dafei were bound tightly by Shen Liwei and stuffed into the back seat. The military personnel were indeed impressive; they could brazenly drive around with someone tied up like that on the street. If it were another department, this would have been a troublesome situation.
Upon hearing that Dingxiang would be going back with him, Shen Liwei's interest peaked. He hurriedly went to clean up the military jeep he drove; it was a complete mess. If one did not open the windows, the stale smell of smoke could knock someone out. How could such a beautiful and graceful woman sit in such an environment? Moreover, she was someone he was very interested in.
After Shen Liwei took Dingxiang and the captives away, Xin Yi began planning their next move. His plan was to win over Zhuge Kong, the Hall Master of Hidden Dragon Hall, making him a key player in convicting Yan Zheng, the godson of Vice Leader Ren Xiaotian from Black Dragon Society. Xin Yi had studied Zhuge Kong before; he was quite cunning and could be considered an intellectual powerhouse within Black Dragon Society, always assisting Ren Xiaotian and Yan Zheng with strategies.
Hidden Dragon Hall could be regarded as the headquarters of Black Dragon Society, akin to Ren Xiaotian's personal guard. The other three halls of Black Dragon Society were located in different cities; only Hidden Dragon Hall was stationed in Liyuan City. Therefore, regardless of the means used to take down Black Dragon Society, Zhuge Kong played a significant role—either win him over or eliminate him—depending on his performance.
Generally speaking, cunning individuals tend to be ambitious, which is why Xin Yi wanted to win over Zhuge Kong. After so many years in Black Dragon Society, he had always been close to Ren Xiaotian and Yan Zheng. Although he enjoyed their favor, did that mean he lacked higher ambitions? In fact, those who are closer to the core of power often have a stronger desire for it because they can clearly see what benefits it can bring them. This desire may lead them to act against common sense; if Zhuge Kong were such a person, it would provide a great opportunity for Xin Yi.
Of course, someone like Zhuge Kong wouldn't believe empty words without seeing some tangible proof; you must make him feel secure and believe you have the capability to give him what he wants for him to wholeheartedly cooperate with you.
Black Dragon Society was indeed wealthy. A leader like Zhuge Kong, who received favor from both the leader and vice leader, enjoyed far better treatment than the other three Hall Masters. For instance, Zhuge Kong's house was an independent villa by the riverbank. In a province where land is precious, buying such a riverside villa would require tens of millions; one wouldn't even dare think about it without that kind of money.
However, living in such a riverside villa isn't just about having money; it's not like those clustered townhouses but rather true independent villas with at least a thousand meters between each one. This distance is filled with golf lawns where you can play golf or kick a soccer ball or run or even exercise with a beautiful woman... whatever you want; no one will interfere with you—not even neighbors who would need binoculars just to see what you're doing. So you can do as you please.
But living in such villas comes with one major issue: security concerns. Since they are independent villas, if something happens inside one of them—even if it's loud—no one outside would know about it. So it's not just about having money; if someone breaks in during a robbery or something similar, having money won't help at all. Therefore, those who can afford such places are not only wealthy but also have people who can ensure their safety—those who can protect themselves even against external threats. So unless you have enough money to hire someone for your safety or possess such resources yourself, it's better not to live in these independent villas at all.
Zhuge Kong clearly fits the above description. He is the head of a gang, and ordinary thugs do not have the guts to touch him. The gang is never short of muscle, so the various servants, housekeepers, drivers, gardeners, chefs, trainers, and bodyguards in his villa are mostly selected from the Black Dragon Society. Besides their primary duties, they have one mission: to ensure the safety of the entire villa.
In Zhuge Kong's villa, excluding his family, there are as many as twenty people serving him, twelve of whom are professional bodyguards who take turns guarding the villa twenty-four hours a day. Generally, those involved in shady dealings tend to be more timid because they have done too many unethical things in the past and are always afraid that those they have wronged will come back for revenge. Therefore, when you see a lot of bodyguards around someone, it usually means that person has committed many wrongdoings.
The weather has already turned to winter, and the temperature has dropped significantly in recent days, especially at night. If one could snuggle up in a warm bed and sleep, preferably with a girl beside them, that would be incredibly pleasant. However, there are still bodyguards on duty on the rooftop of Zhuge Kong's villa.
"Brother Soldier, squatting up here on this rooftop in this damn weather is really not something a human should do! Boss is comfortable right now, lying in an air-conditioned room watching adult films and having fun with a girl. Damn it! Why weren't we born into that kind of life?!" a burly man said after taking a deep breath.
"If you know we weren't born into that kind of life, then stop complaining! Here, I brought a bottle of liquor up; let's have a sip to warm ourselves up," another person replied.
"Isn't that inappropriate? What if Boss finds out we're drinking while on duty…"
"Who cares? He won't come up here to check if you're drinking or not! Are you stupid? Drink if you want; if not, then don't!"
"Wait… Brother Soldier, there's a car coming over there! It looks like it's heading our way. Should we inform the boss?" The burly man pointed at the headlights in the distance.
