Lin Chuan's lips curved into a smile. At that moment, Song Xiaojia came over and looked at Lin Chuan with incredulous eyes, asking, "Lin Chuan, how did you do it?"

"This is the charm of brotherhood." Lin Chuan, with a cigarette in his mouth, said, "You women wouldn't understand."

"You bastard!" Song Xiaojia glared at Lin Chuan angrily.

"Heh heh..." Lin Chuan chuckled.

Song Xiaojia was very unwilling to let it go. She turned her head to look at Zhang Wenhui and asked, "Captain Zhang, do you know?"

"I do!" Zhang Wenhui nodded.

"Then tell me." Song Xiaojia smiled.

"That won't do, this matter can be sensed, but not conveyed in words." Zhang Wenhui smiled and then said, "There are some things that women won't understand. Only men can comprehend these things amongst themselves."

"Captain Zhang, when did you become so stick-in-the-mud?" Song Xiaojia looked at Zhang Wenhui with annoyance.

"Haha..." Zhang Wenhui laughed heartily.

Monk had just joined Lin Chuan's side when Lai Zi hurried over with a radiant smile on his face. Showing his teeth, he laughed, "Kai bro, I'm Lai Zi, remember me?"

"I remember!" When Zhou Kai saw Lai Zi, his face immediately soured, and he said coldly, "Didn't I leave you in charge of Ben Se Bar?"

"I..." Lai Zi's face turned awkward.

"You betrayed us, didn't you?" Zhou Kai sneered, "What do you want from me today?"

"Heh heh, I... My brothers and I also want to join you!" Lai Zi said with a brazen face, "I know I was wrong, and I swear I'll change for the better from now on. So, please, you must believe me, Kai bro."

Zhou Kai paused for a moment, then scoffed disdainfully, "We are a brotherhood, not a dumping ground for trash. In any case, we have a policy of never hiring betrayers. Lai Zi, don't blame me, brother, for not giving you a chance; it's you who didn't know how to cherish it."

Lai Zi's face instantly became flushed with anger.

Being insulted in front of so many people and called untrustworthy would piss off anyone.

People fight for a breath of air; even Buddha contends for a stick of incense.

Although Lai Zi was not very prominent, he was still a not-so-influential big brother. As a big brother, being publicly scolded in front of so many younger brothers, could he feel okay? Therefore, Lai Zi became extremely angry and cursed, "Fuck, it's just a shitty gang, what's so great about it? You don't want me, but there are others who will. Maybe one day I'll be bigger than you all."

After speaking, Lai Zi left with his underlings in a crestfallen manner.

"Ptooey!"

Lu Dapao spat in the direction of Lai Zi's retreating figure, then said irritably, "What a joke, acting as if you're something special. Your duplicitous nature guarantees you'll never amount to anything in life."

Whether it was Zhou Kai or Lu Dapao, they both detested those who stabbed them in the back. Such people were truly hateful. You consider them as real brothers, but they stab you in the back. No one can tolerate such people.

Chen Jianjun retreated to the station with his tail between his legs, leading his men. He was troubled, unsure what to do. From Song Ming's tone, it seemed clear that he was being sacrificed. Chen Jianjun paced inside his office alone, summing up his hard-earned experience and lessons. After a long time, he finally realized that he had been mixing in the circles for so long without ever finding a strong backer.

Chen Jianjun paced in the office, biting on a cigarette.

He was weighing his options, analyzing the current state of affairs in Jiangbei City.

Jiangbei City was now split between two powers: one was Tang Yumeng, and the other was Song Ming. He had always been following Song Ming. Although Song Ming had never really valued him and now even wanted to abandon him, Chen Jianjun had never given up on Song Ming. He had always tried hard to curry favor with Song Ming and had been carefully maintaining this not-so-easy-to-come-by backer.

But who knew that this backer would turn on him.

Therefore, Chen Jianjun decided to look for a new backer. However, as things stood, the only person worth mentioning in Jiangbei City was Tang Yumeng. However, Tang Yumeng and Lin Chuan were on the same boat. This meant that going to Tang Yumeng would equate to surrendering to Lin Chuan, and he couldn't imagine submitting to Lin Chuan.

But Chen Jianjun was still torn. Now that Lin Chuan's power had grown so strong, would it be unwise to keep opposing him? After a lot of thought, Chen Jianjun could not swallow his pride.

Bang...

Chen Jianjun slammed his fist down.

Suddenly, it seemed he had made a decision. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Why do I have to waver between Song Ming and Tang Yumeng? Qin Dalei has returned, right? I can totally ally with Qin Dalei. Why should I insist on butting heads with Tang Yumeng and Song Ming?"

After having a clear thought, Chen Jianjun immediately left the office.

"Where are you going?" Lv Yan asked curiously.

"Oh, going out for a meeting!" Chen Jianjun replied and then left the police station without looking back.

Lv Yan found Chen Jianjun's odd behavior somewhat peculiar.

"What's up with this guy?" Lv Yan curiously watched Chen Jianjun's receding figure.

............

After last night's battle.

Lin Chuan completely reclaimed all the territories in the eastern part of the city, and not only that, he also took in all of Monk's people. Lin Chuan's strength had increased significantly all of a sudden.

Lai Zi was driven away and disappeared from the eastern district, as for where he went, no one knew. Later, some said they saw him in Jiangnan City, others said in the provincial capital. However, the rumors about him were not very favorable; it was said that Lai Zi's group had abandoned him, and he was working odd jobs alone in other places, doing tough manual labor, eventually having to rely on physical strength to earn his living.

With the territories in the eastern district recovered, everyone seemed very excited and exhilarated.

Some were happy, some were sad.

Now, Li Dong was taken aback. Seeing Lin Chuan taking away all his territories, Li Dong feared that he would be the next one to be dealt with. Li Dong was anxious. With the current strength of Jingwu Sect, they were no match for Lin Chuan.

The next night.

Li Dong appeared to be restless throughout the night. To prevent a surprise attack from the opponent, Li Dong asked his brothers to strengthen the defense. At the Jingwu Sect gate, usually, there were only two people on guard, but now, five or six people were stationed at the entrance, armed with weapons, seemingly ready to counterattack at any moment.

"Do you think they will come tonight?"

"Don't know."

"It's so late already; probably they won't come anymore."

"Then we can rest a bit."

The disciples of Jingwu Sect breathed a sigh of relief, one of them took out a pack of cigarettes, and distributed them around. Everyone had a cigarette in their mouth, smoking vigorously. Standing guard at the sect gate on this night, anyone would feel uneasy. However, with so many people together to chat and brag... the hours passed quickly.

At this moment, several Jinbei vans slowly approached Jingwu Sect. Two transport trucks followed, their beds filled with people.

"Not good." Suddenly, a Jingwu Sect disciple on guard at the gate shouted.

"Trouble, it's Lin Chuan's people," someone said, seeing the vans in the distance, dazzling and hard to look at directly.

Immediately, several people rushed back into Jingwu Sect and closed the grand gates.

"No good, no good, they've come for a surprise attack!" the disciples shouted hurriedly.

Suddenly, a lot of people poured out from various rooms.

"Sect Leader, it's bad," a disciple dashed towards Li Dong's room in a hurry.

"What's wrong?" Li Dong had a bad feeling.

"Lin Chuan's men have arrived," the base of his throat shouted loudly.

"Damn!" Upon hearing this, Li Dong jumped up from the bed immediately. He was still dressed. Li Dong hadn't been able to sleep at all tonight; he seemed to have anticipated that Feixiang Company's people would come. That's why he chose to sleep in his clothes.

Unexpectedly, things had developed to this point.

Li Dong swallowed, his teeth clenched, and he said, "Let's go, let's go out and meet them in battle!"

Having said that, Li Dong immediately picked up the stick placed beside him and rushed out.

Outside, Lin Chuan and Zhou Kai got out of their vehicles. Monk, as a newly joined member, was also arranged by Lin Chuan to join this battle. Of course, this was also the first time for Monk to fight under the name of Feixiang Company, and moreover, the opponent was his former partner. Monk felt somewhat awkward.

"Monk, what's with you?" Zhou Kai asked with a smile.
