Chapter 379: Where Did You Find That Duck? Coercion and Bribery!

This speculation was not without basis.

From a player's perspective, starting with nothing under the premise that the clearance requirement was to dominate.

Arriving at a region with an excellent geographical location.

The best way to rise was to seize another's nest.

They possessed an 'Innate Talent' that the people of this world did not.

With just this, they could achieve conveniences ordinary people could not imagine.

Thinking of this, Lin Yang couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

His Innate Talent was 'Copy', which allowed him to copy the Innate Talents of dead players.

Without a corresponding corpse, it was no different from a decoration.

"The Five Dragon Gang bought ten guns at once, and also bought several thousand rounds of ammunition. They must be planning to start a war, right?" Hu Zi asked in surprise after hearing their background.

"A war is certain. If it were just for collection or self-defense, there would be no need to buy so many bullets." Zhao Xian nodded.

"As far as I know, the port area is a mixed bag, with many forces intertwined in a very complex way. Although the Five Dragon Gang is strong, they don't have much standing. They never meddle in others' affairs, nor do they ally with other forces. They only care about their own little patch of land."

"If they start a war, who would they be fighting?" someone asked, puzzled.

"Who knows? Maybe someone took their turf." Lin Yang shrugged.

Zhao Xian suddenly fell into thought, "... The explosion is indeed suspicious. The port is a key area of Jinshan City and a source of income for the Warlord. Such instability really shouldn't be happening."

"But so far, the cause of the explosion hasn't been found."

The implication was clear: either the Warlord deliberately covered up the news.

Or the perpetrator was skilled enough not to leave any clues.

However...

He leaned more toward the latter.

After all, the explosion was seen by many people, unlike a mine disaster which could be kept secret.

Regardless, if the culprit was uncovered, the Warlord would certainly give an explanation to the victims' families.

"The Search Army will never find the cause in a lifetime." Lin Yang leisurely finished his soy milk.

"Why?" Hu Zi asked.

"Simple... a perfect crime." Lin Yang curled his lips.

"You underestimate the Search Army. They are professionally trained. No trace, however small, escapes their eyes. And where there's a trace, there's a trail. Since it was done, there must be loose ends." Zhao Xian disagreed.

Having lived in Jinshan City for over forty years, he knew the Warlord's capabilities best.

Many so-called 'perfect crimes' were eventually caught by the Search Army and beheaded as a warning.

Even the most meticulous plans could hardly escape the Sight of the Search Army's aces, the 'Twins'.

"Young Lin, you don't know this. The Search Army has a pair of twins who are naturally much smarter than ordinary people, with incredibly sharp eyes. Ten years ago, when they first arrived in Jinshan City, they overturned many wrongful convictions."

"If ordinary cases can't be solved, they will step in personally." Zhao Xian said.

Lin Yang's heart stirred, "So, if the shooting case still has no leads, the Twins will come to take charge themselves?"

"Exactly. Their abilities are extremely fearsome. We must be on guard." Zhao Xian nodded gravely.

Instead of being afraid, Lin Yang smiled, "Even better. Since they are trusted and recognized by the Warlord, then the answers they give won't be questioned by anyone."

Zhao Xian looked worried, "I'm just afraid that if they step in while the boss is 'unconscious', they might notice something."

"The one who should really be worried is Donghai Hall, not us." Lin Yang said nonchalantly.

Speaking of Donghai Hall, Zhao Xian suddenly remembered something, "Did Zi Huai give you a note yesterday, asking you to hand it to the boss?"

"I already gave it. What's up?" Lin Yang asked.

"It seems to be about the relationship between someone in our Liuhe Society and Donghai Hall." Zhao Xian said with a strange expression.

"You mean... there's a mole in our gang?" Lin Yang frowned.

"I don't know. Zi Huai didn't go into detail. He wanted the boss to decide personally."

Lin Yang looked at his mysterious expression and felt a surge of curiosity.

When he received the letter, he hadn't thought much of it, just treating it as a piece of correspondence.

He hadn't peeked at it either.

After all, it had the words 'For the Boss's Eyes Only' written on it in big letters.

But Zhao Xian's expression today hinted that something was off.

Especially his eyes, which made Lin Yang feel somewhat uneasy.

Just then, a Little Brother led a young man in, "Yang Ge, the person you asked us to find is here."

Lin Yang turned to look, and his eyes lit up.

The man was about 1.8 meters tall, with sharp, handsome features.

He had an average build, broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Apart from his Hair Style, he was practically a carbon copy of Su Yang.

"Great. Later, take him to get a haircut and trim his beard." Lin Yang arranged.

The first time Zhao Xian saw this man, he even thought the boss had been discharged from the hospital.

"So similar, really so similar..."

Except for a hint of immaturity in his eyes and being slightly less handsome, everything else was perfect.

"Where did you find this guy?" Zhao Xian asked curiously.

"In a Duck nest. This guy was originally selling meat. We paid for a month of his time." the Little Brother said.

"Huh?" Zhao Xian's expression immediately turned strange.

Finding a male prostitute to impersonate the boss... that didn't seem quite right...

"Who cares if he's a chicken or a duck? As long as he gets the job done, he's a good man." Lin Yang stood in front of him, looking him over with satisfaction.

"What's your name?"

"Li... Li Shan."

"Relax, why so nervous?" Lin Yang patted him on the arm.

Li Shan nodded timidly, but fear and unease still lingered in his heart.

Yesterday he was dancing in a bar when, out of nowhere, someone put a hood over his head and dragged him into an alley.

He thought they were going to do something bad to him, but it turned out they just wanted him to put on an act.

And the one giving the orders was a member of the Gang.

What Li Shan remembered most about this Gang was the fearsome reputation of Feng Niangzi, followed by what the newspapers had reported—Su Yang taking on forty-one people all by himself.

Though he felt Resistance in his heart, he didn't dare disobey.

And so he was brought here for no apparent reason.

"You know what you have to do, right?" Lin Yang asked.

"I know..."

Lin Yang said meaningfully, "If I remember correctly, you still have a younger sister in middle school at home. If things fall through because of you, you should know what the consequences will be."

A naked threat!

Though anger rose in Li Shan's heart, he could only grit his teeth and agree.

"Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged. After it's done, I'll reward you with ten thousand out of my own pocket." Lin Yang smiled.

"Thank you..."

32 Liuhe Street.

"Dong dong!"

"Coming!"

The graceful woman opened the door, her expression changing the moment she saw who it was, and immediately tried to shut it.

"Bang!"

The man wedged his Foot in the door crack, grinning, "Sister Dong Yun, you've come up in the world—now you don't even greet your big brother when you see him?"

"What do you want? I've already done what you told me. What more do you want?" Yan Dongyun placed a hand on her chest, on guard.

"There are so many people coming and going on the street. You don't want your husband to hear you arguing with a strange man at the door, do you?" the man said with a sinister smile.

Yan Dongyun's face showed hesitation. After struggling for a moment, she simply opened the door. "Say what you have to say and be quick about it."

The man entered and looked around, sighing in admiration, "Who would have thought that the girl who used to just cry and beg for mercy would now turn from a chicken into a phoenix, living in such a nice place."

"What exactly do you want?"

The man turned around, eyeing her mature, voluptuous figure, and said lecherously:

"Today, besides catching up, I have another matter for you to handle."

Yan Dongyun instinctively crossed her arms over her chest. "I don't owe you anything anymore."

"You really don't owe us anything, but your father owes our gambling den five hundred thousand. That money... you should pay it back, right?" the Second Hall Master said coldly.

"What?" Yan Dongyun's face changed color.

"I know you can't afford it, so I've come specially to point you toward a clear path."

The Second Hall Master plopped down on the sofa, pulled a syringe from his pocket, and said meaningfully, "You deliver a gift to the Six Harmony Association Gang Leader for me."

"After it's done, the debt is cleared and your father is released!"

"How about it?"
