Not long after, Du Wenkang took the seat of the big brother.
"Is everyone here? In recent days, our Du Family Gang has suffered significant losses, nothing has gone right. At the root, it's because a master appeared in Sanketan Town. This person is stronger than me. Poor big brother was beaten into a vegetative state, and a couple of days ago, damn it, even Babao and Four Directions were killed."
Although Du Wenkang was in pain, his ruthlessness was still present. After all, he had over a thousand people in his gang; it wasn't possible that he'd fear just some young kid.
No matter how powerful he is, one fist cannot defeat many hands. Du Wenkang did not believe that Chen Tianlong was a god. When the time comes, he would gather his brothers and go straight to his hometown to kill him entirely.
"Big brother, who exactly is this person, and why is he so powerful? You're a cultivator, but you can't do anything to him. Should we assign an external ally to deal with him?"
Even though Du Tianqi was severely injured, he had a Small Rejuvenation Pill. After consuming it and resting for a couple of days, he seemed to have improved a lot. Though he couldn't engage in intense activity, he could at least walk.
"An external ally? You mean our brothers from the Flying Eagle Gang in South Sea City?"
Du Wenkang understood what Du Tianqi meant. After all, several of their leading figures were injured or incapacitated. If they really went up against Chen Tianlong, they might not have much of a chance of winning.
Even if they couldn't defeat him, they could run away. However, if they found external support and had experts to help, they wouldn't fear Chen Tianlong escaping.
"Yes, Xiaohu from the Flying Eagle Gang. Aren't we quite familiar with him? He's also from our Sanketan Town. Now that a brother is in trouble, he can't just not come over with some people to support us, can he?" Du Tianqi explained.
"Indeed, back in the day, he was one of us in the Du Family Gang, and now that he's made it in the city, he shouldn't forget his brothers back home." Du Dachang thought Du Tianqi was right. At a time like this, they should ask him to help.
It's said that there are many experts in his gang. Although they're reformed now, Du Dachang didn't believe it, as these people were rogues by nature, and you can't change a dog's habits.
There's an old saying, 'Rivers and mountains are easy to change, but nature is hard to alter.'
"Big brother, you think so too, right? I'll contact Xiaohu now. He came home to visit not long ago, caught up with me, and left his phone number. If we ask the Flying Eagle Gang to come this time, that Chen Tianlong is certainly doomed." Du Tianqi said gleefully.
"Alright, I'll wait for your good news. If they come over, we'll head straight to the orphanage. This should be enough profit to attract him, right?"
Du Wenkang understood the Flying Eagle Gang's style. Without profit, they wouldn't easily make a move.
The meeting didn't cover much more. The most crucial matters were settled, and the rest of it involved Du Wenkang briefly discussing the current situation within the gang before everyone dispersed.
After returning to his room, Du Tianqi began dialing Xiaohu's number.
"Hello, Xiaohu? It's Tianqi. How've you been lately?"
Du Tianqi was evidently very polite, considering that the person he was speaking to was a key figure in a big gang. He had a lot of experts under him.
"Oh? Brother Tianqi, what made you decide to call me all of a sudden?"
Xiaohu was a bit taken aback. Although they were old acquaintances, they usually would only catch up when Xiaohu was home; they seldom spoke over the phone, if ever.
So, this must be about something. As the saying goes, "one doesn't visit the temple for nothing." There had to be a request.
Indeed, as soon as Xiaohu finished speaking, he heard Du Tianqi say, "Xiaohu, to tell you the truth, something's happened here. A master has come to Sanketan Town causing trouble, making it almost impossible for our Du Family Gang to survive, and we need your help."
"Oh? Who is so formidable, managing to suppress the thousand-strong Du Family Gang? What use would I be?" Xiaohu said with a bitter smile.
"Come on, Brother Hu, no need to be modest. Everyone knows how formidable your Flying Eagle Gang is, filled with experts. Just bring a few brothers over, and that young man will surely be on his knees begging for mercy."
Upon saying this, Du Tianqi played his trump card. With a smile, he said, "Do you remember the orphanage here? It's a prime piece of land, and the government has already agreed to our acquisition of it. The profits we'll make will be substantial — making a few hundred isn't out of the question. How about a 30% cut? Interested?"
Sure enough, upon hearing about the money, Xiaohu's eyes lit up. He had little resistance to money. Although working with Hao Shuai guaranteed he wouldn't worry about food and clothing, life was just barely adequate, with no luxury to speak of.
As a man in his thirties, he still hadn't found a wife, mainly due to lack of money.
"This... are you sure the government agreed? It's not that you're doing a forced demolition, right?"
Xiaohu was experienced. How could an orphanage be demolished just like that? The government should be securing benefits for them, not the opposite, indicating that the Du Family Gang probably forged it.
"Of course, we have the official documents. I'll show them to you when the time comes."
Du Tianqi was worried Xiaohu wouldn't come to help, so he quickly added. They really did have official documents, but how they obtained them definitely involved some dubious methods.
"Alright, I'll consider it. Expect a call from me. I'll get back to you by tomorrow morning at the latest. Is that okay?"
Xiaohu couldn't agree immediately; after all, taking people over required Xu Yunfei's permission. He didn't have the authority to arbitrarily mobilize people.
"Okay, then I'll await your good news, Brother Hu." Du Tianqi didn't dare say much more and hung up. If Xiaohu didn't want to come, nothing could be done but to wait for a response.
After Chen Tianlong smoothly handled the transportation earlier, he didn't rush back immediately. Instead, he waited while they sorted out various accounting issues, opting to stay overnight. He headed back the next day at a leisurely pace.
With two days left until the New Year, Chen Tianlong didn't plan on running around. He decided to stay home and retreat for cultivation. As for the New Year's supplies, Old Chen had recovered, so he could go to the city and bring back what was needed.
Chen Tianlong's current skill level was at Yellow Dao four-star, but it hadn't solidified. Lotus Village was inherently a great place for cultivation, with its beautiful scenery and tranquility. Plus, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was especially abundant.
At the South Sea City Police Department, a major case had recently surfaced, causing Zhao Bing to urgently gather all officers for an emergency meeting.
"Is everyone here? Let's begin our meeting then." Zhao Bing sat solemnly in his seat, addressing all leaders, officials, and basic officers.
The crowd nodded and began taking notes with high concentration. Zhang Yufei, sitting by the side, was no exception.
After all, he was the captain of the criminal police brigade, entrusted with a significant role. This meant that primarily it was up to him leading the team to act. There was a chance they wouldn't even celebrate the New Year, heading directly to the destination instead.
