"Nonsense..." Black Bear slammed his hand on the table. "What's next? Do you think they'll just let this go?"
"Boss, there are some things I'm not sure if I should say." The underling swallowed hard and looked at the black bear with some fear.
"Speak! At this point, what is there that you can't say?" Black Bear gave him a look of exasperation.
"Boss, normally, this kind of petty incident in a nightclub wouldn't warrant such a huge mobilization." The underling hesitated for a moment before saying, "Which city doesn't have some prostitution, gambling, and drugs? Which city doesn't have some drugs?"
“In other places, the local police usually handle it. Unless it’s a transnational criminal organization committing crimes on the move, I don’t think the military would be needed.”
"Moreover, it's military operations in a different location. When have you ever seen anything like that since the founding of the country?"
"You're right, this isn't worth it for us." Black Bear gritted his teeth: "Then what do you think they mean?"
"Brother, I think the reason they're doing this is because they're targeting our superior," the younger brother said cautiously. "After all, what he's doing is a crime that could implicate nine generations of his family."
Black Bear suddenly realized that these people weren't after him, but rather his boss.
His small-scale business ventures were hardly worth the attention of the prison authorities.
If he continues to hold out like this, wouldn't he be taking the blame for something else?
“You’re right, I can’t go on like this, otherwise I’ll be taking the blame for someone else’s crime.” Black Bear muttered, “Old Yao is a fool, let him bear it if he wants to, I haven’t lived enough yet.”
"Brother Xiong, I heard that Old Yao is gone." The younger brother said with lingering fear.
"What did you say? Old Yao, he's gone?" Black Bear's heart pounded; he hadn't heard about these things.
After all, he had been fighting with Lao Yao for most of his life, but they both served the same boss.
Although it's a matter of life and death, we would never kill each other. But now that the other person is dead, this has had a huge impact on him.
"Yes, I heard he was gone that very day. The other side showed no mercy whatsoever. Old Yao is loyal to Na Shao, and he's not afraid to die, but we brothers are just trying to earn a living. It's not worth risking our lives." The younger brother said with a mournful face, "So, Brother Xiong, I'm planning to run away."
"Run, I have to run! I have to get out of here. I can't just sit here and wait to die!" The black bear panicked and started thinking about where he could escape.
“Brother Xiong, I can run away because I’m just a nobody, but you can’t.” The underling shook his head and said, “Because you’re one of Na Shao’s men, they’ll definitely have a lot of things they want to know about you. Even if you run away, they’ll do everything they can to bring you back.”
"What should we do then?" Black Bear was completely dumbfounded. Yes, he wasn't just an ordinary underling; he was a leader.
Since the other party wouldn't even let Lao Yao go, they probably won't let him go either.
If he really runs away, the other side will definitely try everything to catch him. What will happen then?
"So... Brother Xiong, if I were you, I would take the initiative to cooperate with those people..." the underling said cautiously, "That way, at least I can save my own life."
"You mean you want me to betray Young Master Na? No, no way, he'll kill me. His Blood Guards are too terrifying. No way." Black Bear shook his head hurriedly; the idea was truly too horrifying.
Although he was slightly tempted, he quickly banished the thought from his mind.
Everyone in Jiyang City knows who Na Yuanzhen is.
He is an extremely perverted and cruel being, and I witnessed him killing someone at Na Yuanzhen's place today.
With a single swipe of its claws, it can rip a person's heart out. Such a terrifying person would never inspire the courage to betray them.
"Brother Xiong, you're confused! What era are we living in now? Throughout history, which era has had a stronger national power than this?" the younger brother earnestly advised. "Na Yuan is indeed powerful, but can he fight against the nation?"
"Now is a critical moment, you must make sure you're on the right side, one wrong step and it will be all over."
The black bear was deep in thought, but his underling's words instantly brought him to his senses.
Yes, so what if Na Yuanzhen is powerful? Can he stand against a massive state apparatus?
Moreover, judging from the current situation, it seems that the authorities intend to erase him from this world. The Na dynasty, which he has painstakingly built, will likely fall apart soon.
At this point, he should consider his future path. After all, Na Yuanzhen has done too many ruthless things over the years, and he can't possibly take the blame for Na Yuanzhen.
He's not that stupid Lao Yao. Blind loyalty cost him his life.
"Okay, I understand. You can go now. Let me think about what the future holds." Black Bear waved his hand, then slumped weakly onto the sofa, lost in thought.
The henchman quickly bowed and left. After exiting the room, he checked that no one was around, then promptly took out his phone and dialed a number, speaking in a respectful tone: "Mr. Ye..."
"How's it going?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“Mr. Ye, the matter has been taken care of. I have explained the pros and cons to him as you instructed.”
“I believe that as long as he’s not an idiot, he should know how to choose.”
"Very good, well done. You can go back now." Ye Xingchen hung up the phone on the other end.
"Will this really work?" Zhang Shih-hao wondered.
That underling was captured by Ye Xingchen, who used both threats and bribes to get him to persuade Black Bear.
Those words were Ye Xingchen's analysis for Black Bear.
"Don't worry, it won't be long before Black Bear contacts us on his own." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "I've investigated, and Black Bear isn't as loyal as Old Yao."
"This guy is greedy and afraid of death. People like that are actually the easiest to deal with and the easiest to control."
"You're still the most insidious one." Zhang Shihao gave Ye Xingchen the middle finger. "But it seems there's no better way right now."
"Yes, there's no better way right now." Ye Xingchen nodded slightly. "After all, Na Yuanzhen is in the shadows, while we are in the open."
"If this guy wants to do something underhanded or hide, there's nothing we can do. So the only thing we can do is use the people around him to slowly drag him out."
"Is that Black Bear on the right track or not?" Zhang Shih-hao couldn't help but feel worried.
After all, the old Yao was a real man, one who would rather die than submit.
“He’ll get the hang of it. I told you, this guy is greedy and afraid of death. We have plenty of ways to deal with people like him.” Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
