It's one thing to catch my people, but to beat them like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at A-Tong, who no longer looked like a human, the West Hall Master berated him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the West Hall Master's words, Zhang Cheng turned his head: \"Didn't you tell him what this kid did?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I forgot to say!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Chen Guilin spread his hands helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, he didn't tell you? That's fine, let me explain it again. Your underling drove a car to ram me, and after ramming me, he actually wanted to stab me with a knife!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pointing at A-Tong not far away, Zhang Cheng stood up and slapped the table: \"Are you guys crazy? If you wanted to ram me, couldn't you find a truck? You sent him in a Wrangler, really thinking I'm a vegetarian!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at A-Tong in shock, the West Hall Master was stunned, because he didn't expect A-Tong to be so bold, doing things he wanted to do but didn't dare to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm-hmm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nodding vaguely, A-Tong looked at the West Hall Master, indicating that Zhang Cheng wasn't lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swallowing his saliva, the West Hall Master immediately smiled: \"Brother Cheng, I spoke a bit loudly just now, sorry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just spoke a bit loudly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the West Hall Master before him, Zhang Cheng questioned him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And a bit arrogant. Don't mind it, okay? I'm also running in the underworld; give me some face, alright!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng, the West Hall Master was already very helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he never expected that it wasn't him who had caught Zhang Cheng's leverage, but A-Tong who had delivered the entire West Hall to his doorstep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who among those running in the underworld didn't know that Zhang Cheng of Houbicu and Chen Wenkian of Miaokou had problems?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But did anyone say it? No. After all, saying it to their faces was simply looking for death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the original two local gangs, they had now expanded to half of northern Yizhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had worked hard for many years to climb to his current position, but Zhang Cheng? Not only was he ruthless himself, but he had also married a councilor wife, and even taken over the territory held by his father-in-law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I give you face, but who gives me face? He wanted to ram me to death today!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the West Hall Master before him, Zhang Cheng grew solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then tell me, what should we do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Zhang Cheng's unyielding attitude, the West Hall Master also had a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My wife is running for Congress soon. Don't you have a very hardworking person on your side? Help me deal with him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the West Hall Master before him, Zhang Cheng stared at him with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the West Hall Master was stunned: \"That person is one of our own in the Triad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, it's because he's one of your own that I didn't have the heart to make a move!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patting the West Hall Master's shoulder, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes: \"You wouldn't want to make things difficult for me, would you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, the West Hall Master was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this wasn't just a heavy loss; this was cutting the carotid artery!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will he bring you benefits if he gets up there? Don't forget, you're just a Hall Master, and your neighbor is me. Can you handle me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the West Hall Master before him, Zhang Cheng asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng, the West Hall Master thought for a moment: \"I can't handle you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right. So, being my neighbor doesn't require you to be able to fight, but to be able to endure. If he gets up there, I guarantee I'll beat you. Do you know why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the West Hall Master, Zhang Cheng grew solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng in a daze, the West Hall Master was also confused. Why would he beat him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That guy is from the Green Camp! Don't you know I hate green the most?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the West Hall Master earnestly, Zhang Cheng patted his shoulder: \"My wife gets up there, we work together on tourism and development—isn't that good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this is the idea from above!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng before him, the West Hall Master was hesitant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, you're running in the underworld, do you still need to report to those above? If it really doesn't work, you start a New Triad, and I'll help you carry it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patting the West Hall Master's shoulder, Zhang Cheng said solemnly: \"By then, northern Yizhou will be our world!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, the West Hall Master widened his eyes: \"Can it work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course it can work. Don't forget, we are family. Those who wear green hats are all crazy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the West Hall Master, Zhang Cheng smoked a cigarette and turned his head: \"Look at the brothers following you. You wouldn't want them to not be able to walk out tonight, would you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the West Hall Master was silent for a moment: \"Fine, let's start the New Triad together!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right. Let's make money together!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughing as he looked at the West Hall Master, Zhang Cheng's eyes flashed with light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days later, in a luxury villa, the news was broadcasting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the podium, the cheered Shi Wanhua successfully defeated her opponent and became mayor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when Zhang Cheng, in front of the TV, saw this scene, he couldn't help but lift the corners of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the way to truly solve an opponent is always 'physical'—that's more effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Master Xiao Zizai said that physical transcendence is harmless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Zizai: I didn't say that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Cheng: We're all black-eating-black, you're playing this game?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a month later, at the grand opening of the new scenic spot, countless tourists from the mainland gathered here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, looking at the streets, besides local delicacies, there were even many hometown snacks, and they were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this was practically no different from home!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's the mayor! The mayor is here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the tourists were surprised, a young and beautiful woman walked over, waving her hand: \"Welcome, fellow countrymen, to travel here. Here, you should feel just like home. We are all one family!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Shi Wanhua say this, the arriving tourists cheered one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because although they didn't know why this mayor was so young, she knew how to speak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the lively scene below, Chen Guilin said: \"If you say that, does the other side have an excuse to attack?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let them talk. After a few days when things calm down, just find someone to send them to reclaim land from the sea!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking indifferently, Zhang Cheng's eyes flashed with light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he couldn't go on stage, that didn't mean he couldn't support his own people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When those taking turns in line were all his own people, who got elected didn't matter, did it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Zhang Cheng was doing now was exactly this: throwing those who liked to wear green hats into the sea to feed the sharks one by one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Kouhai' (talking big) didn't exist here for him, because as long as someone posted bad remarks, he would follow the network cable, check their water meter, and send them warmth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only had one thing to do here, and that was to stick to one principle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chairman Zhang, the investment with the mainland has been negotiated. Our technology city can start construction at any time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking in from outside, Fan Ning was wearing professional attire, holding a notebook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Fan Ning's words, Zhang Cheng turned his head: \"Thank you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're welcome. Then can you tell me, where is the bomb?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng, Fan Ning asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bomb? What bomb? I don't know!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking out with a smile, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng's back, Fan Ning said solemnly: \"Just you wait. It will be found sooner or later!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Cheng: I am a businessman, profit-seeking, greedy! I am a giant greedy person, seeking profit for myself, seeking profit for my family—not enough! Seeking profit for the country, only then do I feel I've earned it!\u003C\u002Fp>",1417,"2026-06-18T01:05:50.539Z","2026-06-18T03:13:38.468Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","dc169212a28a323f45389429799ba1650fbb7a6a878b22ce925d0cb85be51b84","the-evil-force-roaming-the-heavens-chapter-979","the-evil-force-roaming-the-heavens-chapter-977",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frogue-evil-forces-across-the-heavens-cover.jpg"]
