NOVPUBJiang Wanli was once a prominent, unstoppable figure.
It was precisely because of this that he became the overlord of the eastern city.
But as time passed,
his edge had long since disappeared.
Thinking about it now inevitably brings some heartache and sadness.
Chen Nan: "Mr. Jiang, you’re just a gangster who’s muddled through the underworld, even though you now possess a fortune, it can’t change your origins."
"Especially in the eyes of those big shots, you are just an ant that can be replaced at any time, a worthless cur."
"As long as you show the courage to defy death and fight them desperately, who do you think will be afraid?"
A simple sentence made Jiang Wanli feel like he had been enlightened, his eyes revealing a trace of excitement as he said excitedly, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your guidance. I know what I must do!"
Chen Nan then said, "As long as you are willing to fight like a cornered beast, for a short time, those people naturally won’t dare to make a move on you."
"And you, you need to clean up all your businesses during this period."
"In half a month at the latest, there will be a major reshuffle in the Jizhou public security system."
"I need you to unify the entire Jizhou underworld with the force of a thunderbolt in this half-month period."
Boom!
As soon as this was said,
both Jiang Wanli and Zhou Long felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
The two of them stood there, stunned, their scalps tingling, spine-chilling.
Although Jiang Wanli’s power in the eastern city was not to be underestimated, he did not have the confidence to absorb the power and territory of the other three overlords. 𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝒐𝙢
And to do it within half a month was simply an impossible task!
"I’m done eating, let’s call it a day for now," Chen Nan said as he picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth and then stood up to leave the private room.
"Are you done eating?" Just as he walked outside, Jiang Yan came towards him with a cheerful stride.
Chen Nan hummed in acknowledgment, then said, "I’m going home to rest for a while."
Jiang Yan looked towards the private room where her father was and said, "Dad, Uncle Long, Chen Nan and I are heading back to school first, you two take your time eating!"
After calling a driver, she left by car.
After Chen Nan and Jiang Yan left, Jiang Wanli finally spoke, his gaze intense as he said, "Ah Long, do you think we can take down those three overlords?"
Zhou Long shook his head, expressing his opinion, "If it’s just us, there’s no chance of success."
"But Mr. Chen has the capability of foreseeing the future."
"I think, it’s worth a try."
He had a blind trust in Chen Nan, to the point that if Chen Nan claimed a sow could climb a tree, he would believe him without doubt.
Jiang Wanli took a deep breath, his hesitant eyes becoming resolute, the pupils gleaming with a sharp cold light, "Then let’s go all out!"
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, smiling as he took out his phone and dialed a number he normally wouldn’t dare to call.
What was different this time was the crazed smile on his face, void of the usual prudence and panic.
A moment later,
the call was answered, and a cold voice came from the other end, "Speak!"
Jiang Wanli said apologetically, "I’m sorry, Mayor Sun, I just discovered a pinhole camera at the farmhouse in the eastern suburbs. I don’t know who installed it, but it likely recorded the process of hosting you and the content of our conversation!"
The voice on the phone conveyed barely concealed anger, "What do you mean?"
Jiang Wanli grinned and laughed, "It means nothing special, just simply reporting this matter to you, that’s all."
The voice on the phone became colder, revealing a chilling coldness, "Are you threatening me?"
"Yes!" Jiang Wanli’s face twisted manically as he held the phone and roared, "Damn right I’m threatening you, you motherfucker Sun Zhaoliang, I’ve done so much for you. How have you treated me?"
"You treat me like a dog."
"A dog that comes when called and dismissed at will."
"If it were only that, it would still be bearable, but you even want to kill me!"
"Motherfucker, motherfucker, motherfucker!"
"Sun Zhaoliang, have you forgotten where I come from?"
"Do you really think I have no temper?"
"Let me tell you, Sun Zhaoliang, I have only one worthless life, and even if I die, I will bring you down with me. We’ll both be destroyed."
After venting his anger and frustration, Jiang Wanli felt a refreshing sense of relief, as if reborn.
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, then the man’s voice came through again, no longer haughty, "It seems there’s been some misunderstanding between us."
Jiang Wanli sneered, "Do you think I would believe your bullshit?"
The man spoke in a low voice, "I will give you a satisfactory explanation for this."
Jiang Wanli’s lips curled up, "Good, I’ll wait for your response." Saying this, he hung up the phone. He had intended just to vent, but unexpectedly, the other party had promised to give him an explanation.
This clearly showed how much the other party feared what he held in his hands.
"Boss, do you really have evidence to take that person down?" Zhou Long asked curiously.
Jiang Wanli gave a bitter smile, "I wish I did, but Sun Zhaoliang is much more cautious than you or I anticipated. Every time he comes to dine, his secretary carries a jammer, making the pinhole camera utterly useless."
Zhou Long looked skeptical, "Then why is Sun Zhaoliang so wary of you?"
"Because he doesn’t dare gamble!" Jiang Wanli’s eyes twinkled with a fierce cold light, as if his formerly bold and afraid-of-nothing, highly intelligent self had come back to life, "As long as we have the slightest evidence against him, it would be enough to bring him down."
Zhou Long grinned, "Now I’m really looking forward to what kind of explanation he will give us!"
------
"You useless fool!"
In a luxurious villa, Sun Zhaoliang furiously smashed his phone and glared at the secretary in front of him, "Didn’t you claim you could eliminate Jiang Wanli? Why is he still alive? Why does he still have evidence against us?"
The secretary, uneasy, bowed his head, "Leader, I did not expect Jiang Wanli to suddenly leave the company, and moreover, he was in someone else’s car."
"As for the evidence... he must be bluffing. I always carry a jammer whenever we go."
Sun Zhaoliang flew into a rage, his face contorted, "Must be? Do you want these two words to decide my career and fate?"
The secretary immediately shut his mouth, realizing his statement was not cautious enough.
Sun Zhaoliang’s face darkened like a frenzied lion, "Today, we must give that mad dog Jiang Wanli a satisfactory explanation and keep him stable first."
"Next, find out if he really has evidence against us."
"If not, just directly eliminate him!"
The secretary, troubled, said, "Leader, we have completely enraged that mad dog Jiang Wanli. It’s going to be difficult to quell his rage unless... we cut off our own limb."
