Doesn't that mean he's paying money and putting in effort at the same time?

Then what does he need Zhou Qin for?

“Dad, I do know some people in the underworld, but they don’t seem very reliable.”

Zhou Qin knew he would be looked down upon by Liu Jingzhong, but now he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "The people I know are just some thugs from the old neighborhoods."

"Old neighborhood?"

Liu Jingzhong's face turned horribly ashen, his eyes practically spitting fire. "Zhou Qin, do you even know how Liu Yanran was defeated by Wang Qian before?"

"N-I don't know!"

Zhou Qin looked aggrieved, but his grievances were inexplicable.

He knew that Liu Yanran and Wang Qian had once fought fiercely.

He also knew that Liu Yanran always lost miserably.

But he never delved into the specific reasons and details of each failure.

"Do you know that Wang Qian and Qin Nan, the boss of the old neighborhood, are sworn brothers who have risked their lives for each other!"

Liu Jingzhong angrily berated Zhou Qin, "Go find those thugs in the old district, aren't they Qin Nan's men? You want them to deal with Wang Qian? Is your brain filled with shit?"

"Dad, I...I really don't know!"

Zhou Qin's face turned pale and then red. "If I can't go to the old neighborhood to look for them, then I really won't be able to find them."

He was telling the truth.

Although he didn't come from a poor family, he was definitely not from a wealthy family either; his family was just a little better off than the average person.

His life's goal was to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy, and then use his abilities to quickly rise above others.

Therefore, even if he had the opportunity to get to know those scumbags and degenerates in society, he would not be interested.

In his view, that was not the right path.

Evil and heretical practices are ultimately inferior.

Only by following the right path can one truly reach the pinnacle of power.

"Go look for it on West Street!"

Liu Jingzhong was both shocked and furious. He looked at Zhou Qin as if he were an idiot. "That's Scarface's territory. They run all sorts of shady businesses. They're ruthless. As long as you can afford it, they'll do anything that can't be brought to light."

“Dad, but I don’t know any of those people on West Street!” Zhou Qin shrugged helplessly.

"And what about the people you know?"

Liu Jingzhong was on the verge of tears. "Among your cronies, don't you know any of those thugs from West Street?"

"Uh...yes, but they probably only know some of the lowest-level people. Those thugs probably couldn't do something like this."

Zhou Qin scratched his head and mustered his courage to ask, "Dad, do you know Scarface Pao, the boss of West Street?"

"Of course I know him!"

A hint of arrogance rose on Liu Jingzhong's face. "I've been involved in both the legitimate and criminal worlds for so long, how could I not know who I'm dealing with?"

"That's great!"

Zhou Qin was overjoyed. "Why don't you put in a good word for me, and I'll take care of the rest?"

Liu Jingzhong rubbed his temples.

He suddenly realized that this son-in-law, apart from having a handsome appearance and saying disgusting things to please his daughter Liu Qingqing, seemed to be truly useless.

But in order to resolve this matter as soon as possible, after hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, let's go all the way. Since we're going to deal with Wang Qian once and for all, I'll personally take you there tomorrow."

"Thank you in advance, Dad!"

As he said this, a cold glint flashed deep in Zhou Qin's eyes.
