Chapter 350

~8 min read 1,438 words

Seeing Su Yang's confident appearance, the three of them were somewhat shocked and uncertain.

One had been abroad for years and could barely return to Jinshan City.

The other had been immersed in business since childhood, learning how to get rich.

Su Yang carried the attributes of a gang, while Huang Hua was a man of the chamber of commerce.

No matter how you looked at it, it was hard for the two to have any intersection.

"Is Mr. Huang Hua a... friend of the Gang Leader?" Lei Cheng asked.

"Friend is not the word, but he will be happy to be my friend," Su Yang smiled slightly.

Once these words were spoken, everyone was somewhat bewildered.

Since they weren't friends, why would he give him the face?

You must know that with the scale of the Floating Life Business Association, ordinary gangs were hard to reach.

Although it was just a simple meal, he wouldn't go just because anyone invited him.

What's more, one was in the West City and the other in the South City; the distance was there, and it would take Huang Hua half a day just to make the trip.

"Let me handle this matter. I'm familiar with the West City, and I have a few old friends there," Zhao Xian volunteered to take it on.

"When you go, please have Hall Master Zhao report my name first to avoid trouble," Su Yang nodded with satisfaction.

It was exactly what he wanted!

Zhao Xian was loyal, and he could rest a hundred percent assured leaving this matter to him.

"What about us?" Feng Jingchu asked curiously.

Su Yang pondered for a moment and asked: "What are the reactions of the East Sea Hall and Mingguang Building?"

"As far as I know, the East Sea Hall has no movement, but the owner of Mingguang Building was furious last night and smashed several cups," Lei Cheng said as such.

"Let Zi Huai continue to send people to watch them, and report immediately if there is any movement," Su Yang ordered.

Judging from their clashes over the years, neither of these two gangs were the type to swallow their anger.

Especially the Master of the East Sea Hall, who was vengeful and ruthless.

They had suffered a loss in yesterday's battle and suffered heavy casualties, so they certainly wouldn't let it go just like that.

Plus, this matter had made it into the newspaper, and his subordinates had served as stepping stones for Su Yang to be elected Gang Leader.

Gangs valued reputation and prestige above all else; swallowing their anger was impossible.

Therefore, Su Yang needed to guard against them suddenly attacking.

"What if they join forces to attack..." Lei Cheng said worriedly.

In terms of numbers, the opponent had three hundred people combined, which gave them the advantage.

Even if the people of the Six Harmonies Association were good fighters, two fists were no match for four hands.

Su Yang glanced at the desk drawer and said slowly: "Then let them come; the Six Harmonies Association just happens to need a baptism."

No matter how good a fighter you are, can you beat bullets?

From the moment he succeeded, the era had changed.

Traditional gang fights were no longer presentable; firepower was the hard truth.

"This..." Zhao Xian hesitated slightly.

"Put your heart at ease; even if they want to fight, they won't act so quickly. At this stage, what we need to do is accumulate strength," Su Yang said.

"By the way, there is one thing I forgot to mention to the Gang Leader: Ceng Yunzhong started working on the gambling business early this morning," Lei Cheng said.

"Where is the location?"

"Zhongshan Street."

Su Yang looked back at the map, his finger landing on the target location.

"The location is biased to the east; good idea," Su Yang curled his lips.

Ceng Yunzhong's business sense was still quite good; he knew who the target audience was.

"Hall Master Lei, you should handle the arrangements. Before the gambling industry gets on the right track, it cannot be disturbed by anything," Su Yang instructed.

"Yes!" Lei Cheng accepted happily.

This was his job to begin with. After discussing it last night, he went home and thought about it carefully, realizing the huge profits in the gambling industry.

Just like countless gears, once one of them starts moving, it will affect the whole body.

At that time, the entire South City could be regarded as a strategic point.

Making money was many times better than "gold touching."

Compared to reaching out for money versus active consumption, the latter was definitely faster.

"Hall Master Feng, stop the interrogation for now; I have an important matter to entrust to you," Su Yang said.

Stop?

Feng Jingchu was stunned; she had thought Su Yang had found clues related to the murderer and would give them to her to investigate.

She didn't expect him to arrange other work.

"Are we not investigating the murderer anymore?"

"The death of the former Gang Leader has many suspicious points. Jinshan City is so big; with your current manpower, investigating is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack," Su Yang said slowly.

Feng Jingchu only had about twenty people under her; throwing them into Jinshan City would at most stir up a few ripples.

"But..."

"Since the murderer dared to kill my father and left no clues behind, it proves that this person is well-trained and has been planning for a long time."

"The opponent's target may not necessarily be the Six Harmonies Association. As his only bloodline, I will likely attract a second assassination attempt in the future."

"Instead of looking everywhere, it's better to wait for them to come to the door themselves," a sharp light flashed in Su Yang's eyes.

The three of them felt their hearts sink upon hearing this.

No one knew whether the murderer was acting alone or as part of a group.

And no one knew which forces Su Kang had offended over the years.

An assassination without any warning left no traces, which meant they intended to hide their identity, and the possibility of committing another crime was very high.

Therefore, Su Yang didn't want to waste extra manpower.

"Then what do I need to do?" Feng Jingchu asked.

"Bang!"

The door was suddenly pushed open.

Lin Yang came in panting, picked up the tea on the table, and drank it in one gulp.

After catching his breath, he said: "Sorry, I'm late."

Su Yang noticed he had two large dark circles under his eyes and asked with interest: "Did you go thieving last night?"

"Uh..." Lin Yang was speechless, his face flushed slightly, and he waved his hand: "Didn't sleep well, got up late this morning."

"It's good that Lin Yang is here. This matter is of the utmost importance and not a single bit of information can be leaked," Su Yang said seriously.

The three of them immediately sat up straight, waiting for what was to come.

"As a 'three-no-management' underground trading market, the Jinshan City black market is a mixed bag with huge demand."

"Hall Master Feng, your task is the most arduous: rent a storefront in the black market and be specifically responsible for finding out who is selling firearms," Su Yang arranged.

"Guns?!" The three of them changed color in unison.

Feng Jingchu's heart skipped a beat, and she asked in surprise: "Gang Leader, are you trying to buy guns?"

"This matter is of great importance. You also know how strict the firearm control in Jinshan City is; don't ask what you shouldn't," Su Yang narrowed his eyes.

"I understand..." Feng Jingchu nodded.

She had a vague guess in her heart: could Su Yang be trying to purchase a batch of firearms?

If that were really the case, wouldn't that be like carrying a time bomb on their bodies?

Moreover, the price of firearms was extremely expensive; with their current funds, they wouldn't have enough to arm a ten-person squad.

However, after seeing Su Yang's decisive and meticulous methods, Feng Jingchu's worries faded quite a bit.

In her view, the new Gang Leader was not someone who would do stupid things.

He had a scale in his heart and understood the stakes better than anyone else.

"Alright, that's it; go handle it now," Su Yang said.

The three of them left the manor with different thoughts.

They remained silent along the way, and when they finally reached the fork in the road, Feng Jingchu couldn't help but ask:

"What do you think of the new Gang Leader?"
