"Young Master, Miss Zhao," Zheng Qi said respectfully as he entered the living room, "The Zhao family has sent word that Hong Tu, the leader of the Crocodile Gang, requests an audience with Miss Zhao and needs her to return home."

Zhao Yujin nodded, tilted her head slightly, and looked at Xie Wei. Her eyes held a hint of expectation and inquiry, as if seeking Xie Wei's opinion. She asked softly, "Should we go with my sister to meet this person?"

After thinking for a while, Xie Wei roughly guessed what Hong Tu wanted to do when he met Zhao Yujin, so he agreed to Zhao Yujin's invitation.

The two arrived at the Zhao family in Nancheng. The houses that had been damaged had all been repaired, and everyone and everything was being handled in an orderly manner under the leadership of Zhao Yujin and the head of the Zhao family in Nancheng.

Upon entering the reception room, the overall layout was similar to that of the Su family. This was the common layout of these aristocratic families, except that the value of the decorations distinguished them as distinguished by their status.

A figure had been waiting for the two in the reception room for some time.

He was burly, with a shrewd glint in his eyes. His black suit was exquisite and neat, and he wore an expensive gold watch on his wrist. His eyes revealed composure and decisiveness, which complemented his demeanor as the leader of the Crocodile Gang.

When Hong Tu saw Zhao Yujin and Xie Wei appear together, his pupils narrowed slightly, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes, as if he hadn't expected Zhao Yujin and Xie Wei to appear together.

The feud between the Xie and Zhao families was no secret among the hidden aristocratic families. All the powerful gangs in Nancheng knew about the Zhao family, and naturally, they knew about the Zhao family's dirty secrets.

That's why Hong Tu looked surprised when Xie Wei and Zhao Yujin appeared together.

Thinking of his purpose in coming here, Hong Tu quickly composed himself.

“Miss Zhao, I’ve heard so much about you,” Hong Tu said with a smile, rising to greet him with a fist and palm salute. “I never expected to meet Young Master Xie here. I must be incredibly lucky today.”

The two nodded in response and sat down together.

When Hong Tu saw that Xie Wei was sitting next to Zhao Yujin, his eyelids twitched involuntarily.

His seat was the guest seat on the east side, which, as the name suggests, was for guests.

Zhao Yujin's position is in the central seat, which is the host's seat, so there's no problem.

The seat next to her is usually the seat of the mistress of the house, or the seat of the master's partner.

Xie Wei was sitting in that spot, completely oblivious to the fact that the other person seemed to find something amiss.

Zhao Yujin didn't find anything wrong with it. She even picked up an orange from the table, peeled it for him, and fed it to him herself.

That's the kind of relationship they have!

Hong Tu then realized the seriousness of the situation.

Thinking of what Blake said, Xie's son should be having an affair with the leader of the Rose Gang.

Who is the person in charge of the Zhao family in Nancheng?

Winning over both sides!

Hong Tu quickly came to a conclusion.

It's not surprising that Xie Wei has multiple partners given his status, but it's enviable that all of them are beautiful women.

Moreover, Zhao Yujin was aware that Xie Wei accompanied Hei Qiangwei to Lu Changhe's coming-of-age ceremony!

It seems the intelligence was wrong; the North and West districts have already joined forces.

He couldn't help but show Xie Wei's admiration.

Xie Wei never expected that the Crocodile Gang leader had so many inner monologues. He was just eating an orange when he looked up and saw that the other man's eyes had changed from surprise to admiration.

Xie Wei chuckled and met his gaze.

When their eyes met, Hong Tu was slightly taken aback. What kind of eyes were these? They were like a sharp blade, cutting through a person's clothes and striking straight at their heart.

Hong Tu felt as if he were completely naked in front of him, and his eyes quickly darted away.

Xie Wei looked away and ate the last piece of orange from Zhao Yujin's hand.

After feeding him the oranges, Zhao Yujin wiped his hands with a handkerchief and said, "Chief Hong, you came to see me personally. Is there something you need?"

Upon hearing Zhao Yujin's words, Hong Tu's expression turned serious, and he knelt down in front of the two of them.

“I know that Miss Zhao intends to subdue Nancheng, and I am willing to lead the Crocodile Gang to submit to you.”

When Zhao Yujin heard that the other party was willing to join, she did not show much joy on her face and said in a flat tone:

"The fact that Chief Hong has come to me and said he wants to submit must have conditions."

Seeing that his thoughts had been exposed, Hong Tu was not in a hurry. Instead, he took the opportunity to praise Zhao Yujin, saying, "Miss Zhao is truly intelligent."

"Yes, I do have a request."

"The fact that Wu Tao of the Shark Gang framed my son has always been a grudge of mine. If Miss Zhao eliminates the Shark Gang, I, Hong, and the Crocodile Gang are willing to follow Miss Zhao to the death!"

Hong Tu originally had no intention of submitting. Ever since his eldest son was killed by Wu Tao, he had not spent a single day without thinking about revenge.

It's clear that Wu Yue has boarded the "medicine" ship, and the Shark Gang will become increasingly powerful and unstoppable. At that time, let alone revenge, it will be questionable whether the Crocodile Gang can even survive.

His purpose in coming here was simply to leverage the power of the North District to eliminate the Shark Gang before it grew too strong, and then divide up the Shark Gang's territory and business together. He was willing to suffer losses and make concessions.

However, his thoughts changed after seeing Xie Wei and Zhao Yujin's intimate behavior.

The West and North districts have already been subdued by Zhao Yujin, and she controls the power of the two districts. With the power of the Xie family behind Xie Wei, it's only a matter of time before she takes control of the other districts.

Hong Tu made a gesture of goodwill in advance, also wanting to see Zhao Yujin's capabilities.

If Zhao Yujin can successfully destroy the Shark Gang, it means she has enough strength and means, and such a person is worthy of his sincere obedience; but if Zhao Yujin fails to do so, then he will take action, become the final winner, and reap the benefits.
