A group of people carried Long Wu into the car, then scurried away in a hurry.

Those who didn't get in the car also fled quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred or two hundred people had disappeared without a trace. Zhou Kai and the others were baffled.

"Damn it, what the hell are they trying to do?" Zhou Kai asked exasperatedly.

"Who knows?" Li Qiang replied with a wry smile.

"Goudan, you little rascal, you've made a merit." Liu Cheng laughed heartily from the side.

"I... I didn't kill anyone, did I?" Goudan was somewhat scared.

"Afraid of what?" Liu Cheng patted Goudan's shoulder and said, "When you're in this line of work, who isn't risking their neck? Even if Long Wu died, he would have deserved it, no one to blame."

"Hehe..." Goudan gave a sly chuckle.

Long Wu was taken to the hospital, and after a thorough examination, he was largely unharmed. The flying knife had pierced his chest but only wounded the flesh. He underwent a suturing operation and ended up fine. Long Wu broke out in a cold sweat, having thought the knife had pierced his heart. Thankfully, it wasn't serious, otherwise, he might have been done for.

"Bloody hell, this is really shit luck," Long Wu gritted his teeth and said.

"Boss, we're not going to let this go, are we?" a subordinate asked from the side.

"No way," Long Wu gritted his teeth: "We have already built ourselves up. How can we back down? In a few days, I'll go negotiate with Lin Chuan. We must make him give back the transportation market territory to us. That place is a gold mine."

"Right," his subordinates nodded in agreement.

Upon learning that Long Wu had gone to Haiqing Pool last night and got beaten up badly, Dongbei Hu sneered.

"A bunch of losers, two hundred can't even handle sixty," the bearded man scoffed.

"Indeed!" Dongbei Hu nodded and said, "With Feng Taibao gone, what can Long Wu amount to? He thinks gathering some people will stabilize his footing, little does he know it's only because Tiger Gang and Lin Chuan keep each other in check. Otherwise, with Long Wu's ability? He would have been wiped out long ago."

"Big brother, why don't we just eliminate Long Wu?" the bearded man frowned and suggested: "Having such a clown in Jiangbei City is really an eyesore."

"No!" Dongbei Hu shook his head and said, "Keep him."

"Why?" the bearded man asked.

"Third brother, you explain," Dongbei Hu smiled, looking at Qiu Wuming.

Qiu Wuming smiled and said, "Boss's intention is simply to let Long Wu trouble Lin Chuan. Even if it doesn't pose any threat to Lin Chuan, it can still annoy Lin Chuan."

"Haha, you know me so well, third brother!" Dongbei Hu burst into laughter.

As for last night's incident, Lin Chuan didn't care at all.

"Don't worry, Long Wu can't stir up any trouble," Lin Chuan commented.

"Having this guy around will backfire sooner or later," Zhou Kai said discontentedly: "Brother Chuan, why not just finish this guy off? With our strength, do we need to fear him?"

"Long Wu is surrounded by mere riffraff, they scatter at the first strike. He poses no threat," Lin Chuan said with a smile, then added, "For such people, it's best to ignore them. If you really fight them, you're just weakening your own strength. Why bother?"

Zhou Kai thought about it and felt that Lin Chuan made sense, so he nodded and said, "Alright, you make a point. Killing one thousand enemies, lose eight hundred of our own, we shouldn't stoop to deal with such vermin."

"That's right," Lin Chuan nodded and said, "As long as they don't threaten our interests, there's no need to pay them any attention."

Under Lin Chuan's guidance, Zhou Kai and the others soon came to understand.

Lin Chuan drove to the City Committee.

Just as he reached the entrance of the break room, he heard a bustling noise coming from inside.

Lin Chuan walked in, and Luo Guoqing greeted him: "Brother, good news."

"What happened?" Lin Chuan asked curiously.

"We're getting a raise." Luo Guoqing chuckled, "Finally, our benefits are improving."

"That's great." Lin Chuan nodded.

At that, Luo Guoqing spoke again: "Sigh, although it's a pay raise, it's not fair."

"What do you mean?" Lin Chuan asked puzzled.

"Some people do less work but get paid more than us," said Luo Guoqing with a sense of helplessness. He was referring to the Song brothers.

Lin Chuan instantly felt annoyed, and after inquiring further, he immediately vowed to go and have a word with Song Ming.

Song Ming actually showed him great respect, immediately decided, and had HR reduce the salaries of the Song brothers.

Originally, this wasn't much of his concern, but since the Song brothers had higher salaries than others, it somewhat related to his reputation. Balancing things out wouldn't affect the comrades' work enthusiasm, a principle he understood well, otherwise he wouldn't hold his current position. In this regard, he was very principled.

When the news spread, Lin Chuan instantly became a hero in everyone's eyes, even the security guards who generally looked down on Lin Chuan started to see him in a new light.

"This lad has guts, daring to negotiate terms with Vice Secretary Song."

"Impressive, I admire him."

A few security guards whispered outside.

They indeed admired Lin Chuan, who suddenly became their idol.

In Tang Yumeng's office.

Xiao Xue ran in breathlessly: "Secretary Tang, something big has happened."

"What's up?" Tang Yumeng asked nonchalantly.

"Lin Chuan went and made a scene in Vice Secretary Song's office," Xiao Xue said with an excitement and a grin she could hardly suppress.

"Hmm?" Tang Yumeng was stunned, her eyebrows raised, she said: "This guy really can't stay out of trouble. Why does he always have to give me a headache every now and then?"

"Hehe, this time he's a hero." Xiao Xue said excitedly.

"What do you mean?" Seeing Xiao Xue's smile, Tang Yumeng immediately sensed something tricky and quickly asked: "What did Lin Chuan do this time?"

"Secretary Tang, this time Lin Chuan really did something good." Xiao Xue was bursting with eagerness as she relayed the whole story. Tang Yumeng couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh: "This little rascal, always showing off, always playing the hero."

"Secretary Tang, you can say what you want," Xiao Xue suddenly said, "but with Lin Chuan's capabilities, he really doesn't care about a few thousand yuan. He stood up purely because he has a sense of justice in his heart, standing up for Luo Guoqing and his brothers. In today's society, men who are righteous and have integrity are really rare."

Tang Yumeng laughed, teasingly said: "What? Are you falling for this guy?"

"No way!" Xiao Xue shook her head like a bobblehead doll: "I don't like him at all, he's too bad. And a philanderer to boot, who would fancy him. It's probably only you, Secretary Tang, who would like this guy."

"Xiao Xue, you just described him as if he's one of a kind on earth, how come your tune changed all of a sudden?" Tang Yumeng laughed.
