Chapter 159: This Person's Mind Is Too Deep, Five Criminal Records

"Very good, your investigation was very thorough." Li Shang nodded in satisfaction, then changed the subject and asked casually, "Is the little brother responsible for tracking tight-lipped enough?"

Ma Bin nodded confidently and replied, "Captain Li, rest assured, this person is my most trusted little brother, very sharp, and keeps his mouth very tight."

Li Shang glanced sideways, casting a meaningful look at Chang Erbing.

Chang Erbing understood and said solemnly:

"Brother Ma Bin, I have to say this for Captain Li, the work we do is hanging our heads by our belts. Everything must be done without a single leak, so every extra person who knows the secret is being irresponsible toward our brothers' heads."

Ma Bin showed a look of struggle.

A flash of contempt crossed Li Shang's eyes; he had thought that after 【Zheng Si's death】, once Ma Bin rose to power, he would improve somewhat.

Unexpectedly, he was still this indecisive, hesitant, lacking ruthlessness, but this was also good, making it easier for him to control him at ease.

Li Shang sighed softly and said earnestly, "Ma Bin, doing things cannot rely solely on the brain; what matters most is knowing how to choose and discard. If you really cannot bring yourself to do it, I can let..."

Ma Bin gritted his teeth fiercely and said in a fierce voice, "Captain Li, rest assured, I understand. I will personally send that little brother down to serve Zheng Laoda shortly."

"Good." Li Shang nodded in satisfaction, a hint of approval on his face.

Inside the private room, the three spoke in low voices, secretly discussing the specific details of the operation, every step carefully considered to ensure everything was foolproof.

At dawn.

Li Shang and Chang Erbing left the Blood Rose Bar.

Ma Wei slowly walked in and handed over a USB drive: "Bin Ge, it's all recorded, the video is very clear."

Ma Bin took the USB drive, walked to the TV, pried open the box below, took out a pinhole camera, gently unplugged it, and casually tossed it to Ma Wei.

At the same time, a playful smile appeared on his face as he said, "Wei Zai, did you hear that? Captain Li told me to send you down to serve Zheng Laoda."

Ma Wei's expression remained calm; during this period he had really been played too many times, one reversal and test after another had raised his fear threshold to a new height an ordinary person could hardly look up to.

A joke like this, harmless as it was, was to him nothing more than a breeze brushing the water's surface, not even a ripple could be stirred.

Ma Wei had grown up; he was now an external intern of 【Destiny】, would he be afraid of this?

He didn't take Bin Ge's bait at all, but asked seriously, "Bin Ge, what do you want me to do next?"

"The old Wei Zai is gone, becoming boring, huh."

Ma Bin smiled broadly and pushed his glasses, but beneath his gaze was bone-chilling coldness.

"Next, go settle the scapegoat. Remember, no leaks allowed, otherwise, Bin Ge can only throw you out."

Ma Wei's heart sank slightly, but his expression remained unchanged: "Understood, Bin Ge, I'll go do it now."

Ma Bin watched Ma Wei's departing back, the corner of his mouth slightly curved, and murmured in his heart:

"【Online】's vision is indeed unique; this Ma Wei really has some development potential, the more I look, the more he resembles my former self. Hehe, interesting."

Inside the blue-and-white car, Chang Erbing held the steering wheel, his gaze occasionally glancing at Li Shang resting with closed eyes in the passenger seat, his tone carrying some doubt:

"Captain Li, can we really trust Ma Bin?"

Li Shang slowly opened his eyes, glanced sideways at Chang Erbing, and said calmly:

"What, do you have misgivings about him?"

Chang Erbing nodded, his brow tightly furrowed: "I always feel he has strong selfish motives and hasn't told us the whole truth."

Li Shang chuckled softly, rolled down the car window, lit a cigarette, exhaled smoke rings, and said lightly:

"It's only natural for him to have selfish motives; if he had no selfish motives at all, I would instead doubt his intentions and dare not let him participate."

Li Shang paused, then continued to add:

"His grudges with Hou Wendong, whether left over from Zheng Si's lifetime or his own new and old hatreds, actually aren't that important to us; what matters is that when we act, he is with us, that's enough."

Chang Erbing pondered for a moment and replied: "Captain Li makes sense."

However, his brow remained tightly furrowed, clearly still uneasy in his heart; he hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help saying:

"But I always feel this Ma Bin's mind is too meticulous, making him hard to grasp."

"Captain Li, think about it, in just a few short days, he has figured out every move of Hou Wendong clearly, formulated a detailed and feasible action plan, and even arranged our escape and the scapegoat."

"The more I think about it, the more terrifying it seems; it's really scary."

Li Shang took several puffs of his cigarette in succession, smoke slowly swirling in the car compartment; then he flicked the cigarette butt out of the half-open window, where it struck a passerby in the wind, drawing several screams.

He rolled up the car window, his brow slightly furrowed, forming a deep "Chuan" character, and said in a low voice:

"Erbing, your concerns are not without reason; I was indeed too hasty before, but now that things have come to this, Ma Bin is already involved, and we can only be more careful and vigilant when dealing with him from now on."

Li Shang pondered for a moment, then suddenly seemed to think of something and asked: "By the way, did you check on those people Ma Bin is transferring prisons?"

Chang Erbing shook his head slightly and replied: "I haven't had time to check in detail, but when I contacted the prison to handle this matter, I deliberately kept an eye out and had the prison send their criminal records to me via email."

Saying this, Chang Erbing held the steering wheel steadily, slid open his mobile phone screen with his other hand, quickly found and opened an email, then handed the phone to Li Shang.

Li Shang took the phone and looked down at the content of the email.
