"What do you say?" Northeast Tiger asked curiously.

"Back then, we spread rumors everywhere, deliberately smearing the relationship between Tang Yumeng and Lin Chuan. It was Song Jianguo who stepped in to quell the rumors. He not only prevented the rumor from becoming a tool to smear Tang Yumeng but actually turned the love between Tang Yumeng and Lin Chuan into something everyone envied," Qiu Wuming said with a cold smile. "And this time it's even more direct. Song Jianguo stepped in himself and took Lin Chuan away, which is openly protecting Lin Chuan."

"Third brother, you're right," Northeast Tiger nodded and said, "Song Jianguo must have extensive ties with Lin Chuan."

"I get it now," Qiu Wuming suddenly spoke.

"What?" Northeast Tiger asked, puzzled.

"The root of all this lies with that girl Song Xiaojia," Qiu Wuming suddenly said.

"Really?" Northeast Tiger was taken aback and said, "Song Xiaojia is Song Jianguo's daughter, could it be that there's something between Lin Chuan and Song Xiaojia..."

"Perhaps," Qiu Wuming nodded.

"That's not right either," Northeast Tiger shook his head and said, "Not to mention that Song Xiaojia has already gone abroad for further studies, even if there really is something emotional between Lin Chuan and Song Xiaojia, I don't believe Song Jianguo would step out for a Lin Chuan. You know, no one wants to get involved in such political struggles. Unless it has to do with their own interests."

"Perhaps there are interests between Lin Chuan and Song Jianguo," Qiu Wuming ruthlessly pinpointed this point.

"Perhaps!" Northeast Tiger nodded somewhat understandingly.

......

Scar, real name Chen Bin, registered in Jiangbei City, is a native of Jiangbei City. Having lived in Jiangbei City all his life, he never left Jiang Province.

After finishing middle school, he worked as a bartender and became a pimp at a nightclub at eighteen. At twenty, he became the lowest ranked underling under Northeast Tiger. Working as a front desk manager at Qinghua Pool, he was ostensibly the front desk manager, but in fact, it was just a fancier term for a pimp.

His daily job was to greet those customers who came to Qinghua Pool. His work was leisurely, and he enjoyed it every day. Every day he could meet all kinds of beautiful women and, of course, he could sleep with any girl at any time if he wanted to. Countless women have slept with Scar, and probably more than one-third of the women in Qinghua Pool have been with him. These women were very willing. Some would even book hotel rooms outside and wait for him to come.

Because getting on good terms with Chen Bin meant access to high-quality customers, tips from the guests were one form of income for these girls, which added up to quite a bit by the end of the month.

He thought he could work like this until old age, believing that as long as he was willing, there would always be countless girls to play with. However, things changed a few days ago. The boss gave him a task to get some 'white powder' by all means and place it in Lin Chuan's car, and ideally at his home and Feixiang Company. He was repeatedly instructed not to expose his identity and promised a promotion after the event.

Scar was naturally very willing, he had worked in bars before and knew some drug runners there.

After completing everything, Scar went home and slept.

The next evening he received news of Lin Chuan's arrest, and then messages came in one after another that Lin Chuan had been taken to the city's public security bureau for investigation and interrogation.

At this point, Chen Bin felt much more at ease. With Vice Secretary Song and Mr. Hu's maneuvering, Lin Chuan would be little by little led to the guillotine. And he just had to wait for his promotion and raise.

The fifth evening after the incident.

Chen Bin did not continue to follow the news about Lin Chuan, because in his view, Lin Chuan was basically dead.

On the fifth night, Chen Bin went to the bar and got completely drunk with a few good friends. Staggering, he returned home.

Just as he was about to open the door, suddenly, a spark lit up.

"Who's there!" Chen Bin was startled, shocked that someone had been hiding by his side all along without his knowing.

"It's me." A coarse and deep voice came.

"Who are you?" Chen Bin frowned.

Before long, a shadow emerged from the darkness, a familiar face covered in a beard. Chen Bin recognized him and hurriedly said, "Big brother, it's you? What are you doing here looking for me so late? Is there something wrong?"

Chen Bin had a bad feeling. Despite being drunk, his mind was surprisingly clear. He took a few steps back.

"Yeah, I do need to talk to you about something," the bearded man nodded.

"What matter requires big brother to come to my door personally?" Chen Bin was not foolish. Having been through many ups and downs in the underworld over the years, he was somewhat guarded. He had realized the bearded man was about to make a move on him, perhaps to seal off any information leaks. Chen Bin dared not make a sound and kept saying, "Big brother could have made a phone call to let me know."

"This matter can't be explained clearly over the phone," the bearded man insisted.

"Big brother..." Chen Bin was about to speak.

The bearded man immediately said, "Lin Chuan has been released on bail, and Xiao Fei, that kid, has been arrested. Now people with your sketch are searching for you in all the major bars."

"Ah?" Chen Bin was shocked and said, "No... really?"

"Absolutely certain." The bearded man took a drag of his cigarette.

"Big brother, then... what should we do?" Chen Bin asked anxiously.

"To prevent the Northeast Tiger from being exposed, and to keep Vice Secretary Song from being threatened, so..." The bearded man took a step forward in one swift motion. He grabbed the other man's neck with one hand, and suddenly flicked out a twenty-centimeter long dagger with the right hand.

Pu Chi...

The blade instantly pierced into the other man's chest.

"Ah!" Chen Bin immediately felt piercing pain, his face twisted in agony as he cried out, "Big... Big Brother!"

"Brother, I'm sorry." The bearded man's face hardened, stirring the dagger viciously in his chest, then said, "For the sake of everyone's safety, we have to inconvenience you."

"Big Brother..." Before Chen Bin could finish his sentence, he was already dead.

The bearded man was splattered with blood. After Chen Bin stopped breathing, he let go of his hand. Chen Bin's body limply fell to the ground.

After the death, the bearded man immediately wiped the blood off his face, then opened the door, and dumped Chen Bin's body into the room. Finally, after dealing with the bloodstains at the door, he hurriedly left the scene.

Ben Se Bar.

Several of Lin Chuan's men were drinking inside.

"Guys, do you know this person?" Li Qiang suddenly pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket.

A few punks glanced at it, and one of them said in surprise, "Isn't this Chen Bin?"

As soon as he spoke up, the others quickly glared at him, saying, "What are you babbling about? Can you even see clearly? Aren't you short-sighted? If you can't see, don't talk nonsense."

Li Qiang was startled, then signaled his subordinates with a look. Soon after, they shoved the others aside, leaving only the one who had spoken out. Li Qiang smiled and said, "Brother, it looks like you recognize him, don't you?"

"I... I don't know him," the man awkwardly shook his head.

Li Qiang took out 20,000 yuan from his pocket and said, "I won't make it hard for you. Just tell me where he is, and this money is yours."

The man was taken aback, swallowed his saliva, then said, "Really?"

"My brothers and I never lie," Li Qiang smiled.

The man quickly said, "His name is Chen Bin, he's one of Northeast Tiger's men, usually working with Northeast Tiger's deputy. He works at Qinghua Pool as a hall manager. Seems like he lives nearby; I saw him drinking at this bar just an hour ago, but he's gone now."

Li Qiang frowned and asked, "Where does he live?"

"Seems to be in the residential area opposite, building eight, floor eleven," the man said.

"Keep the money. If the information isn't right, I'll come back for you," Li Qiang swiftly stuffed the money into his hand.

The man shakily accepted the money, and only after Li Qiang and his men had left, did he carefully tuck the money into his pocket. His companions quickly gathered around, and the man who had been contradicting them earlier said, "Damn, that's how it is? Had I known, I would've spoken up."

After receiving the information, Li Qiang, with his men, hurried towards the residential area across the street. As they rushed across, Li Qiang repeatedly called Zhou Kai.

Zhou Kai and his people also hurried over.

"Did you find it?" Zhou Kai asked urgently.

"Yeah, just got the news," Li Qiang promptly said: "They say it's one of Northeast Tiger's guys."

"I guessed as much," Zhou Kai sneered: "Son of a bitch, this time we finally caught them red-handed."

"Let's go," Li Qiang said in haste: "Damn it, once we catch that kid, I'm going to kill him."

Saying that, a group of people quickly squeezed into the elevator.

Zhou Kai and his team rapidly ascended to the eleventh floor.

Just out of the elevator, Zhou Kai immediately looked quite solemn: "Something's off."

"What's wrong?" Lu Dapao asked puzzledly.

"I think I smell blood," Zhou Kai, frowning, said: "This is not a good sign at all."
