Ruan Chengjin spoke with great excitement, but Scarface Pao's face darkened. "Didn't we agree on a million? Why is it only five hundred thousand? And the second brother has to go see him?"

"Boss, Wang Qian is too suspicious."

Ruan Chengjin said awkwardly, "My second brother wouldn't feel at ease if he didn't see him."

"Oh? You want me to show you my sincerity?"

Zuo Xianglong's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Fine, then I'll show him my sincerity!"

Seeing that the second brother had agreed, Scarface Pao didn't insist anymore. "Although 500,000 is not what we expected, as long as he is willing to take out the first sum of money, it shouldn't be difficult to get him to take out the second sum."

That's exactly what I meant!

Zuo Xianglong chimed in, "In that case, there's no need to touch him for now. Let's empty his pockets first."

At this point, Zuo Xianglong turned to look at Ruan Chengjin and said, "You did a good job this time, kid."

"Thank you for the compliment, Second Brother!"

Ruan Chengjin felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and then recounted the time and place of their meeting.

Neither Zuo Xianglong nor Daoba Pao had any objections to the time or place of the meeting.

Although Wang Qian made the choice, they weren't worried at all about falling into a trap.

In their eyes, Wang Qian was just a somewhat cunning businessman. With Qin Nan's partnership already dissolved, even if Wang Qian had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to set a trap for them.

...

At 3 p.m., Wang Qian went to the bank and withdrew 500,000 yuan in cash.

With the continued success of Niangui roasted green pepper sauce, his assets have accumulated more and more, and now he can easily acquire millions.

But just as he was waiting for the appointed time to go to the site, someone approached him.

"It's you again?"

Upon seeing who it was, Wang Qian asked in surprise, "Is there some new information again?"

The man wearing a hood and acting suspiciously who came to see him was an undercover police officer on West Street.

"Let's find a secluded place and talk."

The mysterious man looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, lowered his voice and said.

"Can!"

Wang Qian agreed without hesitation.

Then, he walked towards a small alley not far away.

The man followed closely behind.

"What exactly are you doing?"

As soon as they entered the alley, the man stared intently at Wang Qian and said in a questioning tone, "I only asked you to cooperate with the plan, not to put yourself in danger."

"What do you mean by that?" Wang Qian asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I know everything about your deal with Zuo Xianglong!"

The mysterious man said in a deep voice, "You're going to meet Zuo Xianglong at Xiaomei Restaurant at five o'clock this afternoon, and you're planning to give him 500,000 yuan, right?"

"Didn't you tell me to use Ruan Chengjin to turn the tables on you, and then cooperate with you from the inside and outside?"

Wang Qian shrugged. "Now that Ruan Chengjin and Zuo Xianglong have fallen for it, isn't this the result you wanted?"

"I only asked you to put up money, not to get involved yourself!"

The mysterious man stared intently at Wang Qian. "Scarface and his gang of ruthless criminals are all vicious. If anything happens to you, how am I supposed to explain this to my superiors?"

At this point, he seemed to realize that he had revealed too much, and a hint of regret flashed across his face.

But once the words are spoken, they are like water spilled. After hesitating for a long time, he simply confessed: "I suppose you have already guessed my identity."

Wang Qian simply acquiesced to this.

"My name is Tao Yu!"

The mysterious man said, "Although this is not my real name, you can call me by this name for now."

"Tao Yu?"

Wang Qian raised an eyebrow. "Is this the name you used when you were undercover in West Street?"

"right!"

Tao Yu nodded and got back to the main point, "Anyway, you can't meet with Zuo Xianglong, to avoid any danger."

"You came to see me just to tell me this?" Wang Qian asked in surprise.

"Otherwise what?"

Tao Yu's face was serious. "Things have already developed to this point. If you withdraw now, it will arouse their suspicion. However, I will come over with Zuo Xianglong later and will do my best to ensure your safety."

"but……"

He then changed the subject, saying, "After this is over, don't get involved anymore."

"Do you think I can quit now?" Wang Qian asked.

Tao Yu frowned slightly, but after thinking for a moment, he still insisted, "Eliminating these social parasites is my task, not yours. You can't risk your life, otherwise I will be punished if the higher-ups find out."

Hearing this, Wang Qian was somewhat moved.

Tao Yu's undercover work alongside Scarface Pao was inherently a very dangerous thing.

But for his safety, she risked revealing her identity to warn him.

Even if it was just for official business, this sentiment was enough to move him.

"So what is your specific plan?" Wang Qian quickly changed the subject.

His communication with Tao Yu was limited to notes, and the short sentences on the notes were unclear.

Now that they have the opportunity to talk face-to-face, he feels it's necessary to ask some questions to avoid misunderstandings and any negative consequences.

"My plan?"

Tao Yu frowned slightly, his face filled with hesitation.

"Confidential, right?"

Tao Yu was unwilling to speak, but Wang Qian spoke for him, saying, "If you really can't say, I won't force you. However, I will carry out this plan according to my own ideas."

"But……"

Tao Yu was about to say something when Wang Qian interrupted him, "Don't worry, you didn't drag me into this. I was originally Scarface's target. Even if something happens to me, it has nothing to do with you."

He paused, then added, "Besides, I'm already in a bind. The threat won't be truly eliminated until I wipe out Scarface and his gang."

Tao Yu frowned deeply.

Although he didn't want Wang Qian to put himself in danger, he had to admit that what Wang Qian said was true.

Wang Qian was originally Scarface's target, and now Scarface and Zuo Xianglong have regarded Wang Qian as a lamb to the slaughter. If Wang Qian pretends to fall for it, he will at least be safe for a short period of time.

If Wang Qian were to withdraw temporarily, it would definitely provoke a vicious and insane personal attack from Scarface.

After much deliberation, he compromised, "Fine, you can join us, and I can tell you our plan, but you have to listen to me."

"Can!"

Wang Qian readily agreed to Tao Yu's request.

They share a common goal, and since Tao Yu is a police officer, cooperating with police operations is the duty of every citizen.

"Our plan is as follows..."

Having received Wang Qian's assurance, Tao Yu stopped hiding anything and immediately gave a general overview of their plan.

After hearing this, Wang Qian's heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, things unfolded exactly as he remembered from his previous life.

This means that if he doesn't intervene forcefully, Tao Yu, this unsung hero, will soon become a martyr.
