"Framed?"

Ruan Chengjin was still completely bewildered.

Wang Qian rolled his eyes. He then realized that he had overestimated Ruan Chengjin's intelligence.

After considering it for a moment, he said thoughtfully, "Didn't you say that among the gray industries Scarface Cannon runs, drug trafficking is the most profitable?"

“Yes!” Ruan Chengjin nodded.

"If Scarface's henchman suddenly loses a sum of money or loses the drugs while selling them, and this person has a close relationship with Second Brother Zuo Xianglong..."

After a pause, Wang Qian continued, "And after this incident, if you could add fuel to the fire at the right time and place, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

"You want me to steal Scarface's drugs and money?"

Ruan Chengjin was somewhat fearful, "I only recently pretended to seek refuge with them. If they find out, I..."

"Are you afraid to do anything?" Wang Qian asked coldly.

Ruan Chengjin blushed and stammered, "It's not that, but I'm still a human being, and I'm afraid of dying too. If I'm not careful, I could lose my life doing this. Why don't you suggest a safer method?"

"No!"

Wang Qian's attitude this time was very firm: "Either do as I say, or go to jail."

Ruan Chengjin's shameless haggling was gradually wearing down his patience.

"Well... okay!"

Knowing there was no room for negotiation, Ruan Chengjin had no choice but to compromise. "I'll go back and act when the opportunity arises. Anyway, Scarface has officially taken over the old district, and we should be able to find an opportunity to make a move in this area."

"So fast?"

Wang Qian couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

He had known all along that Scarface and Qin Nan had always been mortal enemies.

Scarface Pao, in particular, dreams of taking over the old district and becoming the sole boss of the gray area in Nanming County.

But in his mind, he would at least have to wait for Qin Nan to leave for a while and confirm that there was no threat before he could slowly encroach on and nibble away at the territory.

Unexpectedly, just a few days after Qin Nan broke up with his group, Scarface Pao was already so eager to take over the old waiting area.

"Brother Qian, aren't you and the boss planning to take back the territory?" Ruan Chengjin asked.

"This is not your concern."

Wang Qian sneered, "What you need to do now is complete the mission."

"Well... okay!"

Ruan Chengjin gave an awkward laugh, subconsciously tightening his grip on the pocket containing the money. He glanced around furtively, and seeing that no one was around, he said, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back now to avoid being discovered."

"Alright, go ahead!"

Wang Qian nodded and watched Ruan Chengjin walk away.

...

late at night.

Old neighborhood.

Various screams, the sound of ceramics being smashed, and the cries of women and children rose and fell, echoing throughout the streets and alleys of the old neighborhood.

With Qin Nan's gang disbanded, the West Street thugs, led by Scarface Pao, quickly moved in, and theft, robbery, and various bloody and violent incidents occurred everywhere.

Especially at night, groups of thugs can be seen roaming the streets and alleys. If they don't like someone, they will beat them up and then search them and steal all their valuables.

It can be said that with Scarface taking over the old neighborhood, it almost became a living hell.

The residents here used to hate Qin Nan, but now they realize that without comparison, there is no harm.

When Qin Nan dominated the old neighborhood, although he always used force to intimidate the residents, he only intimidated them and never did anything outrageous to them. He also always restrained his underlings from stealing from the neighbors.

If the residents here are bullied by outsiders, Qin Nan will even stand up for them.

Qin Nan also strictly forbade anyone from using drugs, and forbade his subordinates from doing anything immoral or immoral.

Now, things have gotten really bad. Scarface and his gang have absolutely no principles. They treat the old neighborhood like their own backyard, acting recklessly and doing all sorts of heinous things.

Any resistance will be met with extremely cruel retaliation: gouging out eyes, chopping off hands and feet, cutting off ears, murdering the entire family...

In just two days, at least a dozen people have died tragically here, and hundreds more have been injured, but they don't even dare to go to the hospital and can only recover at home.

The residents of the old neighborhood are now like a group of slaves at the mercy of others; their lives are at the mercy of these thugs.

...

Inside a dimly lit but incredibly spacious hall.

A burly middle-aged man with a prominent scar across his face sat in a specially made large chair.

He looked left and right, and became more and more satisfied.

"Is this Qin Nan's throne? Haha, now I can finally sit on it!"

He patted the armrest of the chair and said with emotion, "As the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain. From today onwards, there will only be one king in West Street and the Old Street area."

"Congratulations, boss, you've successfully taken over the old district!"

"I don't know what's wrong with Qin Nan. He just wants to give up this old neighborhood like that."

“He must have known he couldn’t beat us, so he gave up and pinned his hopes on us taking over the old district and letting him live.”

A group of lackeys around him flattered him relentlessly.

But Scarface frowned slightly.

Qin Nan's underlings found it strange that he would voluntarily give up the old district; how could he not have considered it?

However, he wouldn't deceive himself like his younger brother.
