After a night of contemplation, the next day, Mo Ming called Liufeng, Crocodile, and Poisonous Madness for a meeting.
"Boss, what do you want to discuss so early in the morning?" Poisonous Madness asked while stretching.
"I received news last night that Evil Eye has arrived in Sanpan City. We may need to change our previous plans."
Crocodile was somewhat surprised and said, "That bastard Evil Eye is here too? He's not someone to be taken lightly. We really need to be careful. Boss, since you called us here, you must have a new plan. Hurry up and tell us."
"Ha..." Liufeng, who had been out all night, looked a bit tired. He yawned and said, "Boss, if there's a new arrangement, just let us know. I just got back from outside and was called over without even getting any sleep. I'm really a bit exhausted. After you finish speaking, I'll say a few words and then we can disperse for some rest."
"You brought this upon yourself!" Poisonous Madness chuckled. "Who told you to go chasing after Sister last night? You finished your fun and now you're feeling drained. If you run into Hong Gang's people, one little mishap could take you down! Brother, let me remind you, while Sister is great, don't overindulge."
"Old Toxic, I like that advice!" Crocodile chimed in with a sneer. "Liufeng, what time is it now? You're still out messing around? If you were followed by Hong Gang's people, our place would be wiped out! Boss, you need to give him a good talking-to."
"Hey, I say Toxic Jar and Crocodile, are you two not satisfied unless you're opposing me?" Liufeng said somewhat irritably. "I sought the boss's permission before going out to have fun. Besides, while it seemed like I was messing around, I was actually gathering information... What kind of look is that? I really was gathering information."
"Come on now, it's not that we don't trust you; it's that you're not trustworthy. Since you claim you were mainly gathering information, then where's the news? Give it to me and I'll apologize immediately. Once this matter is settled, I'll ensure your living expenses for half a year!" Crocodile tapped the table as he spoke.
Mo Ming listened to the three of them bickering without intervening. He crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair, watching Liufeng. This man seemed absurd in his actions but was meticulous in thought. Based on his understanding of Liufeng, he knew that while Liufeng was engaged in personal matters last night, he must have also handled some serious business.
"Crocodile, you said it yourself. Boss, Toxic Jar, you all heard him; make sure to testify for me. I’m going to enjoy Crocodile's hard-earned money," Liufeng suddenly perked up with a smirk on his face and said, "Crocodile, don’t blame me for not reminding you; my monthly expenses are at least one million."
"Alright, alright, just say it; I keep my word!" Crocodile truly didn’t believe that Liufeng had gathered any real information; after all, if he had managed to gather news while in bed with someone else? Looking at Liufeng’s appearance made it clear he had done plenty of mischief throughout the night—this wasn’t just having fun.
"Hahaha! Just thinking about enjoying Crocodile's hard-earned money for the next six months gets me so excited..."
"Stop, stop, stop! Hurry up and tell me what news you have!" the Crocodile said impatiently.
"Alright, listen carefully." Liufeng didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point: "Wenbao is not in Sanpan City; he has taken all the Elites from Leopard Hall. Now, a foreign man is in charge of Leopard Hall, and this man is someone you know..."
"Evil Eye?" the Crocodile asked, puzzled.
"Not Evil Eye. Evil Eye is definitely by Yin Jiu's side now." Mo Ming looked at Liufeng with a smile, as if he had figured it out. "This man is Yang, right? Am I correct?"
Mo Ming's guess wasn't baseless. First of all, Liufeng said this man was a foreigner who could take charge of Leopard Hall, indicating that his status must be significant, likely a member of the Dark Order brought over by Evil Eye. Secondly, Liufeng directly stated that he knew this man without including Poisonous Madness or the Crocodile, which suggested that this man had a considerable relationship with him.
After carefully considering his connections with members of the Dark Order, it seemed that the only one he had ties with was Yang Yuan, who had been rescued by the Dark Order. Thus, it was highly probable that this man was indeed Yang Yuan.
"See? Crocodile, you should learn from the boss. Fortune Teller! You can even guess this!" While praising Mo Ming, Liufeng didn't forget to tease the Crocodile: "Crocodile, I've shared the news I found out; I hope you can fulfill your promise. I'm waiting for your money to live well."
"Bastard! I, Crocodile, keep my word!" The Crocodile cursed as he pulled out a bank card and tossed it to Liufeng. "Damn it! The password is six eights; there’s over seventy thousand in there. Take it and use it! I really admire you; you went out to have fun and actually gathered some intel!"
"Thank you so much, Brother Crocodile! I guarantee I'll only spend six hundred thousand; the remaining one hundred thousand will be donated to charity!" Liufeng kissed the bank card before putting it in his pocket and yawning.
"Get lost!"
"Crocodile, losing money means you don't understand Liufeng. He's an assassin—one of the top assassins on the list—his awareness of danger is the strongest. Do you think he would risk his life to indulge in debauchery at a time like this? Of course, he did indulge a bit; however, that wasn't his main purpose. He went to the bar primarily to gather useful information in that chaotic environment."
The Crocodile glared at Liufeng and said, "Damn it! You're trying to trick me on purpose!"
"Haha! A bet's a bet; who told you not to believe me?"
Liufeng chuckled a few times and said, "This is what I admire most about the boss; you always understand my thoughts. It's rare to have a confidant in life. Indeed, last night I had quite a few encounters, but at the same time, I also learned a lot of information about Hong Gang from those nightclub girls. Most of their information comes from Hong Gang members who inadvertently let things slip. With Wen Bao absent, Leopard Hall is being run by an outsider, which naturally makes the old subordinates of Leopard Hall unhappy, so they tend to be loose-lipped."
"Liufeng's information should be accurate. I received news from Mourning Lion that Yin Jiu has given Wen Bao a special mission. His absence from Sanpan City indicates that Wen Bao is out handling business. If I'm not mistaken, Wen Bao intends to cause trouble for us in Nanhua City," Mo Ming said.
"I'm afraid he might not return!" Poisonous Madness sneered, "Currently, Nanhua City indeed lacks our presence, but the boss has already instructed the people from Undead Celestial Executioner to cooperate with Little Green Society. Relying solely on the forces of Leopard Hall, I doubt he can stir up much trouble; we can simply ignore them."
"Right." Mo Ming nodded and smiled, "Our focus isn't on Nanhua City, but here. We need to take control of this place. Things could have been resolved quickly, but the emergence of Evil Eye has complicated matters. We need to redeploy our strategy."
"What are your new plans, boss?"
"This is the territory of Hong Gang. In terms of manpower, we are no match for them. If we confront them head-on, even with our own Arms, we would still be at a disadvantage since Hong Gang also has their own Arms. If we push Yin Jiu too hard, he will directly mobilize his Arms against us, so we cannot confront them directly."
"Instead of confronting them head-on, we should use strategy. Capture the leader first; as long as we deal with Yin Jiu, pushing Mourning Lion into power will resolve everything," Liufeng continued from Mo Ming's words. "The boss's plan hasn't changed much; it has just become more cautious in execution."
"Yes, our principle of capturing the leader remains unchanged. However, we cannot rely solely on Liufeng for the assassination; we must act together. While dealing with Yin Jiu, it would be best if we could also eliminate Evil Eye," Mo Ming nodded.
"If we can eliminate the threat of Evil Eye, that would be great. However, his abilities are considerable; aside from the boss, none of us here are his match. Moreover, Yin Jiu is definitely inside the headquarters of Hong Gang, making it difficult for us to take him down."
The crocodile scratched his head in frustration. Listening to the conversation between Mo Ming and Liufeng, he understood the general idea but was confused about the process since it wasn't mentioned.
"The boss must have some confidence in this approach. If you can't figure it out, just quietly listen to what the boss says," Poisonous Madness shot a glare at the crocodile. He didn't fully understand either but wouldn't expose his confusion like the crocodile did.
The crocodile obediently fell silent.
"What I need to do now is to remain still and gather intelligence on the situation at the headquarters of Hong Gang, including firepower distribution, personnel numbers, terrain, and so on. Once I have this information clear, it will be time to prepare for action. At that point, I will use my connections to have the police help us hold back the people from Hong Gang, while our forces attract their attention with firepower. The four of us plus a few brothers will then directly storm into the main base of Hong Gang," said Mo Ming.
"There will be an inevitable fierce battle there, Boss. Isn't this too dangerous?" Poisonous Madness said.
Liufeng helped respond, "There is definitely danger. If you want to take down Yin Jiu, it won't be as easy as eating bean sprouts. The Boss's approach has significantly reduced our risk. At least when we storm the Hong Gang's base, we'll only face a few skilled fighters instead of countless Hong Gang members."
"A fierce battle is just a fierce battle. What are we afraid of? We've faced fierce battles before; are we scared of Evil Eye?" Crocodile said boldly. "Maybe at that time, Evil Eye won't pay attention and will end up taking my bullet. After all, no matter how fast he is, can he be faster than a bullet?"
"Damn it, I'm just considering the potential dangers. Do you think I'm afraid?" Poisonous Madness replied irritably.
"Does everyone agree with my proposal?" Mo Ming asked.
"Let's do it!" Crocodile said.
Poisonous Madness nodded heavily, "Yes, why not do it!"
"Alright." Liufeng yawned.
"Okay then, stay put. I'll go find Mourning Lion to understand the situation."
