Chapter 182: Assassination Successful

We just need to think up a pretext so this batch of goods can disappear reasonably; even if the higher-ups know about it, they won't find an excuse to punish us.

Chen Yongren stroked his chin, thinking about how to deal with Yu Fengye.

If the two must be connected, it's that Chen Yongren previously, in one night, robbed several of their casinos.

Later, because the Green Gang couldn't catch the culprit, the robbery case could only be left unresolved.

Precisely for this reason, the Green Gang became a laughingstock in Songhu.

Several sworn enemies of the Green Gang often use this to mock the Green Gang.

And even the notorious Black Gang—you don't even know who robbed you.

Isn't that embarrassing?

It is said that in the underground bounty, whoever captures the robber of the casinos, dead or alive, will receive a bonus of 100,000 taels from Yu Fengye.

Damn it.

Only 100,000? Who do you think you're looking down on? 100,000 each would be about right.

But the superior's order to assassinate Yu Fengye also gave Chen Yongren an idea.

Since there are so many black gangs in Songhu, why can't I establish my own gang?

The small treasury has plenty of cash; there's no need to worry about insufficient startup funds.

As for territory…

Just rob.

Chen Yongren was formulating a plan in his mind; rashly charging ahead isn't a good idea—if done poorly, others will reap the benefits.

Exploit the conflicts among these gangs, fan the flames everywhere, and provoke their fights.

When these gangs have exhausted themselves fighting each other, then take out their little leaders one by one,

Without a backbone, the ordinary foot soldiers will naturally scatter like birds and beasts.

Thinking of this, Chen Yongren also realized that besides being the Section Nine Chief, he also held the identity of Police Chief of the Songhu Police Station.

A Police Chief patrol catching gang members—there is nothing more procedurally just than this.

Who would have thought that a Police Chief eliminating gangs aims to unify Songhu's underworld?

Yu Fengye.

I, the young master, will first cut you tomorrow!

Early the next morning, before Hua Lei even woke up, Chen Yongren disguised himself and headed to a restaurant.

Besides having them investigate Yu Fengye's daily movements, it was to have them understand the conflicts among the various black gangs in Songhu.

A few days later, the investigation yielded results.

Yu Fengye rarely leaves home in the mornings, only waiting for his subordinates to go to his villa to report.

Because he had faced several assassination attempts by rivals, this old man has become ever more cherishing of his life, staying indoors and rarely showing himself.

Not only that.

He also borrowed two platoons of military police from the Japanese for guard duty, and arranged double posts inside and outside the villa gate—anyone wishing to visit must not enter without his consent.

Although the internal defenses are tight, this guy has a habit.

This guy Yu Fengye loves listening to opera; every night he sneaks into a carriage and goes to the Renewal Stage in the International Settlement to book a performance of Peking Opera.

But he is also smart, worrying that someone might assassinate him mid-performance.

Every night, three carriages depart from the villa.

Before boarding, someone will carefully inspect the carriages to prevent anyone from hiding explosives on them.

All three carriages are armored with steel plates, the car windows are made of unbreakable bulletproof glass, and curtains are added inside so the interior cannot be seen from outside.

The nightly travel route is not fixed; before departure time, no one knows which road the carriages will ultimately take.

Besides that, these three carriages, from the villa to the Renewal Stage, do not stop even when encountering red lights.

Afterward, someone will go to the Department of Transport to pay the fines.

This old fellow really has high vigilance.

Since it's impossible to intercept him on the road, we might as well sneak directly into the interior of the Renewal Stage.

That night.

After disguising himself, Chen Yongren strolled to the vicinity of the Renewal Stage.

The defenses outside the Renewal Stage are equally tight, with a crowd of armed guards at the gate, and even beside the carriages, several guards stand watch.

Trying to sneak in through the front gate is definitely impossible.

Chen Yongren opened the holographic map, followed the vent indicated on it, and used Bone-Shrinking Technique to smoothly infiltrate the stage interior.

After entering the stage interior, Chen Yongren faintly heard the singing of opera, seemingly something like 'Farewell My Concubine'.

Besides that, he could also hear a round of applause and cheers.

Following the sound, Chen Yongren quickly arrived at the stage on the first floor.

On the stage, 'Farewell My Concubine' was being performed.

In a row of seats, two people sat in chairs, continuously clapping and shouting praise; upon seeing a wonderful part, they couldn't help but stand up and shout praise.

Beside them stood four tall, burly bodyguards, each with two shell-guns at their waists.

No.

It wasn't said that only Yu Fengye listens to the opera, so how could there be someone sitting beside him?

Chen Yongren immediately activated his Scanning Eye.

Name: Yu Fengye.

Gender: Male.

Age: 56.

Registered domicile: China, Jiangsu-Zhejiang.

Current position: The foremost under the three major leaders of the Green Gang.

Recent situation: After becoming a lackey of the Japanese, it made Yu Fengye unusually excited, feeling that having the Japanese as a backer, he dreams of replacing Zhang Xiaolin and unifying the Songhu underworld.

Well well, this bastard really dares to think.

Now you can only think about it.

Chen Yongren immediately took out the scanning eye, looking at the old man beside him.

Upon seeing this guy's name, Chen Yongren instantly became excited.

Name: Zhang Xiaolin

Gender: Male.

Age: 63.

Registered domicile: China, Jiangsu-Zhejiang.

Current position: One of the three major leaders of the Green Gang.

Recent situation: Although Zhang Xiaolin has earned the trust of the Japanese, due to failing to gather supplies, his recent days have not been good.

Furthermore, it's heard that Yu Fengye has recently been dishonest, always wanting to expand his turf; Zhang Xiaolin is looking for a chance to give him a warning.

Let him realize who is the true boss of this Songhu territory.

"What's so great about the Zhang name? It's just having the Japanese as a backer."

"When I have nothing, once I rise, there will only be one boss of the Green Gang in Songhu, and that's me, Yu Fengye!"

"Those surnamed Du and Huang all need to get lost, damn it, after being the fourth for several years, I've had enough."

"The Yu surname has been completely dishonest lately, damn it, he actually secretly acted against other gangs behind my back."

"Furthermore, he secretly opened several smokehouses behind my back, simply courting death."

"Just honestly be your fourth; don't think that having the Japanese as a backer makes me afraid of you—I have nothing to fear."

The two seemed to have a tacit understanding, exchanged a glance, and then simultaneously looked toward the stage.

Well well, catch the thief, catch the pair.

These two bastards actually showed up together.

It seems they are not as harmonious as they appear.

Since we happened to meet, I, the young master, must mediate your conflict and kill you both together.

Solving both troubles at once avoids having to devise a new assassination plan for Zhang Xiaolin.

Saying we'll kill means we must kill.

Chen Yongren did not hesitate, immediately took out the shotgun from the system, and decisively pulled the trigger at them.

"Bang bang bang~"

A burst of rapid gunfire sounded.

Dense bullets formed a fan shape, spraying toward Yu Fengye, Zhang Xiaolin, and the several guards.
