After finishing her reflections, Mo Ran then gave instructions to Aji.

“Aji,”

"Have someone keep an eye on Section Chief Zhang, Director Gao, and Zhang Shouji,"

"Remember, you must carry a camera with you at all times, and make sure to record the entire scene of the assassin killing the three of them!"

Aji nodded and left again, while Zhang Shouji, who had received the message that Ding Qing had hung up,

A look of sorrow, like that of a rabbit mourning the death of a fox, immediately appeared on his face.

"I still couldn't defeat that madman Li Zhongjiu..."

Upon hearing Zhang Shouji's感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of deep emotion or reflection), the henchman opposite him immediately said with an excited expression,

"Big brother, can you go in now?"

"After all, you've already secured the support of the police!"

Upon hearing his younger brother's words, Zhang Shouji immediately smiled confidently and said...

"snort,"

"Would the cops really be so kind as to support my rise to power?"

"They just saw that my strength was weakened and thought I was easy to control..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Shouji seemed to have thought of something, and a hint of disdain appeared on his smiling face as he continued,

"The cops aren't any better!"

“Li Zicheng’s identity has been exposed. Instead of rescuing him, they have come to me to put more pressure on Li Zicheng!”

"Not only that, one of the two undercover agents was killed by those Hong Kong thugs,"

"As for that woman... she's probably been ruined by that Hong Kong guy by now!"

Upon hearing Zhang Shouji's remark, the younger brother smirked and said...

"Brother, what should we do now?"

Zhang Shouji put down his teacup, remained silent for a moment, and then said...

"Don't act rashly yet. Even if Ding Qing is gone, there's still Li Zicheng."

"After Li Zicheng and Li Zhongjiu have finished their fight, we'll go in and pick up the corn!"

"It's the eldest brother,"

After nodding and saying yes, the younger brother continued to speak to Zhang Shouji.

"Brother, I've almost finished recruiting the people you asked me to. Would you like to meet them in person?"

Seeing how efficient his underling was, Zhang Shouji's first thought was... could this kid have just found some mediocre people to fill the quota and fool him?

Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Shouji immediately waved his hand and said,

"Bring it over here so I can see it!"

"It's the eldest brother,"

My brother went out less than three minutes ago, then came back in with more than a dozen men.

"Brother, there are too many people; we can't bring them all."

"These are all skilled fighters, and the others are about the same level!"

After introducing Zhang Shouji, the younger brother then spoke to the people behind him,

"What are you standing there for? Call for help!"

"Big brother!"

Zhang Shouji looked at these people, whose faces all seemed to say, "I'm not someone to be trifled with," and then nodded with a satisfied expression.

"Excellent, excellent!"

"Now that you've entered this door, you're all brothers in our family!"

"My consistent principle in life is that if I have meat to eat, my brothers will also have meat to eat!"

Faced with the promises made by their elder brother, what could the younger brothers say?

"Thank you, Brother Xie!"

Just as Zhang Shouji waved to indicate that there was no need for this, the phone on the table suddenly rang!

Upon receiving a look from Zhang Shouji, the underling immediately led the people who had just come in out again!

"Hello, this is Zhang Shouji!"

As soon as Zhang Shouji finished speaking, Section Chief Zhang's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Zhang Shouji, come to the police station!"

"Ding Qing is dead, so our plan needs to be moved up!"

Seeing Section Chief Zhang's anxiety, Zhang Shouji smiled and said,

"Coming right away!"

Putting down the phone, Zhang Shouji, who had just arrived outside the door, looked at his newly recruited underling and, wanting to assert his authority, began to speak.

"You're all coming with me!"

"I'll take you there to broaden your horizons!"

"Yes, brother!"

Meanwhile, at the police station!

After hanging up the phone, Section Chief Zhang looked at Director Gao, who was still frustrated, took out a cigarette, and offered it to him, saying...

"What's done is done, why bother getting so upset!"

He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and said with a helpless expression,

"Old Zhang,"

"None of the recent events were expected; neither Shi Dongshu's death nor Ding Qing's death were anticipated."

"Add to that Li Zicheng's indecisiveness, and Xinyu's outright defection..."

At this point, Director Gao sighed again and said,

"Of the three undercover agents we sent there, one died and another betrayed us, and the remaining one's attitude was already ambiguous!"

"But now things are really messed up. Ding Qing has no choice but to go down a dark path after killing Li Zicheng,"

"Now, we're actually offering Zhang Shouji benefits to win him over and get him to help us complete our plan,"

"What do you mean by this...?"

Despite Director Gao's dejection, Section Chief Zhang maintained an indifferent expression and said...

"Someone has to make sacrifices to complete the mission!"

"Li Zicheng still has a weakness we can exploit, so our plan can continue!"

Seeing Section Chief Zhang's confident expression as he spoke, Director Gao stubbed out his cigarette and said...

"So, who are you going to let take the chairman's position?"

"Zhang Shouji!"

Section Chief Zhang said the name without hesitation, while Director Gao remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"Then let Li Zicheng come over!"

Upon hearing this, Section Chief Zhang immediately picked up the phone and made a call!

In the hospital morgue, Li Zicheng looked at Ding Qing's corpse, whose face was mostly disfigured and whose body was covered in frost.
