"I've made the general arrangements." Li Ze said as if he was presenting a treasure. "Although the Municipal Bureau has put pressure on the police, our people have withstood it. Fortunately, there's someone in Cheng Village who is resisting, so we have to give him some face. Moreover, the power to handle the case in Cheng Village does not lie with the Wanghai Municipal Bureau, but with Wankang City. As long as the higher-ups don't give in, we can't take over the case.

In addition, the gang fight puts us in a very passive position, but the Cheng family is also cautious. If they are identified as organizing a gang and involved in underworld affairs, they will also be in trouble. We can take the blame and go to jail as many people as we want, but how many people in the Cheng family have the courage to do that?"

"So I have an idea..." Li Ze took a breath and continued, "Let's make a trade with them, forcing them step by step until they have no choice but to take action. We can try to pin the crime of organizing a gang on Cheng Jun. With no leader, the remaining relatives of the Cheng family, each with their own ulterior motives, will fall apart at the first sign of trouble, making them much easier to deal with."

"You mean, are you sure there are no other problems?" someone asked.

"Things are dead, but people are alive. No one would dare to guarantee that it's foolproof and without any variables." Li Ze said without any flaws: "And the biggest threat we face now is the Wei brothers, one of whom is on the run and the other is in a coma in the hospital. We don't know who ordered these two people. But they are both Zhang Keqi's old subordinates and know a lot of things.

If it really goes crazy and bites randomly, it will probably cause quite a bit of trouble."

"You have one week to find him, dead or alive, it doesn't matter." Wang Kai pointed at Li Ze and said lightly.

Li Ze opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He respectfully replied, "I promise to complete the task."

Then Wang Kai crossed his arms and placed them heavily on the table, his tone as if it was serious: "I will call you in for another meeting in a week. At that time, we will discuss who will be responsible. Do you have any objections to this approach?"

No one answered, but everyone looked at Wang Kai respectfully.

Then Wang Kai looked at his legal wife Zhong Yinhua and asked, "Are you satisfied with this?"

Zhong Yinhua frowned and said, "Why do you keep asking me what I'm doing? Logically speaking, I don't have the right to sit here, do I?"

Wang Kai smiled slightly, said nothing, and turned to lecture the crowd: "I used to be poor, very poor, and lived as a blind drifter in the village. I had never been to school and just wandered around everywhere. So no woman would look up to me. It was Miss Zhong who became my mentor and promised her life to a poor boy. That's why I am where I am today.

It's more than just a relationship between husband and wife; it's the great kindness that has made me who I am today, a kindness I'll never forget. She also gave me the opportunity to meet all of you here, which is an even greater favor."

"Everyone, let's raise our glasses." Wang Kai led everyone in raising their glasses. "What are we celebrating? We're celebrating this great ship that we built, hammer by hammer, now floats on the crest of Wanghai's tide. Cheers to you all. You are all so honorable. You and I are all heroes!"

"Cheers, President Wang!"

"Respect, Brother Wang!"

"Cheers to our Wang family!"

After a glass of wine, the atmosphere warmed up. At least on the surface, there were no more factional differences among the people, and no more grudges in their hearts. There was only a deep friendship that had lasted for decades, as close as brothers.

No one mentioned accountability anymore, no longer talked about the disappointing issues, and they indulged in eating, drinking, and sensual pleasures. Later, perhaps because he felt it was not enough, Wang Kai even ordered people to arrange a special venue with songs, wine, and women. The Wang family and most of their subordinates' trusted executives went out in a grand and happy manner.

......

"You stay for a while." After they left, Wang Kai left Zhong Yinhua and Ai Chunxiao behind.

A wife who was married in an official ceremony, and a mistress in name only, standing on the left and the right, neither of them looked at each other. No one knew what Wang Kai was up to or what he was trying to do.

Until Wang Kai spoke, he said: "There are some things that I can turn a blind eye to, but you all have to pay attention to the bottom line. Don't fight among yourselves, or no one will be happy."

"Just say what you want to say." Zhong Yinhua suppressed her anger to the extreme, and the rage in her chest seemed to burst out through her eyes, burning the beastly woman to death. "What I mean by internal fighting is that she is also one of them. That's what we call internal fighting. Is that what you mean?"

Ai Chunxiao smiled charmingly and said, "You are already an adult, why are you so childish and asking such boring questions?"

"Boring..." Zhong Yinhua's fingers clenched white under the table as she spoke word by word: "You are a bitch."

"You're the mistress of the Wang family, one of the most prestigious families in Wanghai. You're a well-deserved celebrity lady, the dream of so many women. But your current behavior has made me lose all hope for you." Ai Chunxiao covered her mouth and said, "You're like a naive little girl. Sigh."

Her last sigh finally cut off the little sanity left in Zhong Yinhua. Without any warning, she tore off all the cloaks of rationality, howled, raised her hand from under the table, and a shining dagger suddenly appeared.

Zhong Yinhua suddenly jumped up, pressed his chest on the dining table, and pounced forward in an undignified manner, but he was not agile enough and lost his aim, and the blade just grazed Ai Chunxiao's cheek.

Ai Chunxiao stood there like an idiot, the blade cutting into her skin without her feeling anything. Only later did she realize what was happening and scream in panic, "Ahhhh!"

Zhong Yinhua wanted to take the next step, but she was just a woman who lacked exercise for many years. She was soon pressed on the table by the bodyguard who seemed to have been waiting for this moment. In the end, she was decent and did not struggle, allowing others to hold her down.

"I'm very disappointed in you." Wang Kai shook his head and said indifferently, "If you could swallow this anger today, I would still look up to you. Unfortunately, after colluding with others, this is all you can do."

"Don't slander me!" Zhong Yinhua cursed loudly.

"Do you think I don't know anything?" Wang Kai said, "I know that over the years, you've been secretly in contact with those people who used to work for you, cultivating your own followers, and trying to overthrow me secretly. Recently, you've made a new friend, Li Ze, and you're very close to him. In fact, it's not just Li Ze who wants to win you over. Ai Chunxiao also really wants to make friends with you. It's a pity that you don't understand.

Where is the brave and resourceful Zhong Yinhua who used to work with me?

Wang Kai stood up, picked up the dagger, and peeled her clothes off bit by bit like peeling an egg. In front of his men, he opened her clothes and underwear, leaving her proud figure exposed to others without any cover or protection.

"I know everything, but I won't kill you. Like I said just now, you've been very kind to me and are my mentor." Wang Kai said, "Let it go. I'll ensure you a life of wealth and glory."

After saying this, he looked at Zhong Yinhua, who was half naked and had all her privacy exposed. His face showed disgust as if he was looking at a piece of rotten meat. He picked up his phone to take a picture of her like this and said, "After all, you are still a person who cares about your dignity."
