"Then tell your people that I'm bringing Ma Chenglong back to Nanshi, making the Zhang family step aside, and that I'm going to rebuild the Ma family's power with him," Ye Xingchen said.
"Are you crazy? Do you think drug trafficking is fun?" Bai Zilin was stunned; she was completely shocked.
"If I were to actually stand on the opposite side, you wouldn't have a chance of winning at all," Ye Xingchen rolled his eyes.
"Then what exactly are you trying to do?" Bai Zilin looked at Ye Xingchen in confusion: "Doesn't Nanshi need stability? By putting the Zhang family in power and cutting off the last link in the Iron Triangle, Jinluo City won't be able to open up routes in the future?"
“But Jinluo City is still here. Even if the Zhang family takes power, how long can things be stable? Five years, ten years?” Ye Xingchen said, “The city outside our border is a malignant tumor. The only way to cure it is to remove it.”
"Ma Chenglong returned to Nanshi to rebuild his remaining forces and wait for an opportunity."
"But Jinluo City's expenses have been too high in recent years, making it difficult to support the city's operation. Therefore, they need the domestic market. If Ma Chenglong goes back, I can find a way to lure Huang Tai out. Using Huang Tai as a breakthrough point, I will have a way to take over Jinluo City..."
The thing Ye Xingchen described was too big for Bai Zilin to process for a while, and it took her a long time to come to her senses.
“I understand what you mean. Huang Tai is Jin Xiang, and he has to show up,” Bai Zilin said. “But are you sure he’ll show up if you do that?”
"I'm not sure, but I can force him to show up." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "Huang Tai is actually under a lot of pressure. His father gave him a task, and he has no clue what to do. If he doesn't speed things up, he won't be able to deliver."
"So even though we're being careful, as long as the bait is good enough and the baiting area is big enough, that guy will fall for it sooner or later."
Bai Zilin pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "Okay, what you said makes sense. I'll report to my superiors and make an exception for you."
"That's good. Now that Huang Tai has shown up, you can go back to Yanjing. Your anti-drug work can be considered to be over for now," Ye Xingchen said.
"I'm not going back. I want to stay with you." Bai Zilin shook her head and refused without even thinking.
"You're being willful." Ye Xingchen glanced at her and said, "Your dad in Yanjing is worried sick about you, aren't you going back to see him?"
“I’m a police officer, what does he have to worry about?” Bai Zilin said. “Besides, I’m not a child anymore, I have my own thoughts and judgments.”
"That's true, but you should still go back. Don't be too willful," Ye Xingchen said. "I'll wait until I've resolved the matter in Jinluo City before making any decisions."
Although she was not entirely willing, Bai Zilin nodded slightly. At this point, she probably only listened to Ye Xingchen's words.
That evening, Ye Xingchen arrived at Liu Kun's place.
Ma Chenglong had woken up. He sat there motionless, not uttering a word, his eyes bloodshot and his gaze fierce.
Ma Chenglong has now become a complete desperado. He has lost everything and could lose his life at any moment.
When people are driven to desperation, they are capable of anything, which is why every fugitive is an extremely dangerous individual.
"Young Master Ma, are you alright?" Ye Xingchen asked with concern.
Ma Chenglong shook his head and forced a smile: "It's nothing."
"Take care of yourself, everything can be rebuilt," Ye Xingchen comforted him.
Ma Chenglong nodded, then looked ahead.
Liu Kun has already come over. He had spoken with Huang Tai in the afternoon and said he would try to get Huang Tai's support.
Huang Tai should have sent back news by now. He looked at Liu Kun with eager eyes: "President Kun, how is it? What did Young Master Huang say?"
“Young Master Huang has already agreed,” Liu Kun said. “He will find a way to settle everything you are burdened with, and he will also find a way to help you rebuild the Ma family. But there is one condition: the Ma family will have to listen to him from now on.”
"As long as it allows me to rebuild the Ma family and avenge my family, my life belongs to Young Master Huang." Ma Chenglong's eyes were bloodshot.
“Alright, this time the losses are heavy. The bosses from all over the country who were in contact with your Ma family have suffered a lot of losses. It can be said that you have been severely weakened.” Liu Kun said, “We all need some time to recover. You can stay here and lay low for a while, and then go to Nanshi. I will also find someone to help you take back the territory you have lost.”
“I don’t trust anyone, I only trust Brother Ye.” Ma Chenglong shook his head.
“No problem, I will have Brother Ye accompany you to revitalize the Ma family.” Liu Kun grinned. “Moreover, Young Master Huang attaches great importance to this matter. Once you have recovered a certain amount of territory, he will come over in person.”
"Is Young Master Huang coming?" Ye Xingchen's pupils contracted slightly.
“Yes, Young Master Huang’s mission is to open up new routes and open up the domestic market, but he has repeatedly failed.” Liu Kun said, “The city lord is already very dissatisfied, so Young Master Huang must speed things up. All matters from now on will be handled by Young Master Huang personally.”
"Okay." Ye Xingchen nodded, and he really breathed a sigh of relief. After digging for so long, Huang Tai finally took the bait. All his previous efforts had not been in vain.
"Brother Ye, it's all up to you now. Do your best, and I'm sure Young Master Huang will really like you," Liu Kun said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Mr. Kun, I promise I won't let him down, and I definitely won't embarrass you." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
"Okay, I believe you." Liu Kun chuckled and said, "Young Master Ma, stay here for the next few days. When Young Master Huang arrives, we'll discuss the rest together. Don't worry about staying here; we're all on the same side now."
"Thank you, Mr. Kun. You're the only one who's willing to take me in right now," Ma Chenglong said gratefully.
"Haha, no need to be polite, we're all on the same side." Liu Kun laughed heartily, "Brother Ye, take Young Master Ma out for some fun and a good time to relax."
"Understood," Ye Xingchen nodded and walked to Ma Chenglong's side: "Young Master Ma, let's go have some fun and relax."
Ma Chenglong nodded slowly and left with Ye Xingchen.
Ye Xingchen took Ma Chenggong to the club upstairs, called a few girls, and ordered several bottles of good wine.
Ma Chenglong was in a terrible mood. He opened a few bottles of wine and drank them by himself.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood and wouldn't even touch her hand, the girl took the initiative to approach him and said coquettishly, "Young Master Ma, why are you ignoring me? Am I not pretty enough?"
To be fair, the girls in the club were all from out of town who came to make money, and they all had good figures and looks, but Ma Chenglong was in no mood to pay attention to them right now.
"Get out of my way, don't fucking bother me." Ma Chenglong shoved the girl aside.
