After Xie Wei got off the plane, Zheng Qi came to pick him up with a large group of people. They were so impressive that they almost hung up a banner that said he was the crown prince of the Xie family in the capital.
People at the airport were speculating about who the person arriving was. Some had already reported this to their superiors.
This was arranged by Xie Wei; only with this kind of spectacle could attention be drawn.
This time, Nan Cheng's actions are different from the last time he did abroad. He's not in a hurry to do business now. His purpose this time is to cause trouble and stir up trouble.
He cooperated with Ye Yan and his group; he was in the open, while Ye Yan and his group were in the shadows.
Xie Wei understood the principle of stirring things up before making a decision.
On the bus, Xie Wei listened to Zheng Qi report on the situation in Nancheng.
The industries involved in these gangs in the southern part of the city are all similar, except that a few gangs have outstanding industrial chains.
For example, the Shark Gang, which we had previously contacted, is located in the southernmost part of Nancheng. On the surface, they only make a profit by running shops, but in reality, they secretly control black industries such as gambling dens, foot massage parlors, and bars. The gang leader is named Wu Yue, and he has a son named Wu Tao.
The Bear Gang, located in the most central area of Nancheng, has a cooperative relationship with the government. Most of the real estate revenue flows into their accounts. The gang leader is Lu Changqing, and he has two sons, Lu Changjiang and Lu Changhe.
The Eagle Gang is located in the northern part of the South City and occupies the largest territory. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the largest tobacco manufacturing base in the South City. It controls the tobacco market. The gang leader is named Xiong Shanjing. He has a son and a daughter. His daughter is named Xiong Shuran and his son is named Xiong Jinqiang.
The Crocodile Gang is located in the east of Nancheng, by the sea, giving them a natural advantage. They control most of the seafood markets in Nancheng. The gang leader is named Hong Tu. His eldest son, Hong Yi, was killed two years ago in the territory of the Shark Gang. He also has a younger son named Hong Shi.
The Rose Gang, in just one month, rapidly rose from one of the four major gangs to become known as the five major gangs. Located in the west of the southern city, its leader is known as Black Rose, and nothing else is known about him.
The reason why Nancheng has become what it is today is largely because the Dragon Kingdom did not initially establish effective laws for cultivators, which allowed some cultivators and evil practitioners to take advantage of the loopholes. That period was the darkest time for Nancheng.
The laws concerning practitioners, the Zhao family, and the National Security Bureau were born at this moment.
The chaos eventually subsided, but some ordinary people in the southern city were able to come into contact with the world of cultivators and obtain some cultivation techniques.
Since the obtained technique was incomplete, the strength gained was certainly limited, which led some people to have the idea of stealing other people's techniques.
However, their vision was limited and their thinking narrow. They considered the problem from the perspective of ordinary people, believing that having more people meant a higher chance of winning, and began to gather the people they could find around them.
This is where the gang warfare that later evolved began.
Xie Wei looked out the car window at the scenery, his eyes, hidden by his stray hairs, seemed to reveal a thoughtful expression.
There are certainly some smaller gangs surviving in other places, but they need to rely on larger gangs to survive.
After so many years of gang warfare, the leaders of the original four major gangs must have been quite powerful. And this newly established Rose Gang, which managed to take over the West District right under the noses of the Eagle Gang and the Bear Gang, is probably not much weaker either.
However, none of these are worth Xie Wei's concern. What he should really pay attention to are the people from other countries who have been sent in, and the people from that organization.
According to Zheng Qi, things have been getting increasingly turbulent in Nancheng lately. Street fights seem to be happening more and more frequently, and it seems that some foreigners have reached some kind of cooperation with gangs.
"The West District, huh?" Xie Wei, sitting in the car, suddenly said this. Although he didn't know which direction the South City was, he had seen a map of the South City and could roughly tell which area it was from the road signs.
Moreover, with smartphones being so advanced these days, you can easily find your location by checking any navigation app.
“I’m sorry, young master. When we chose our accommodation, the West District didn’t belong to anyone. I didn’t expect the Rose Gang to suddenly reappear after we finished settling in. This is my dereliction of duty,” Zheng Qi said, bowing his head as he told Xie Wei what had happened.
Once people climb to a certain height and enjoy the convenience brought by power or money, they cherish their lives more, and this is especially true in Nancheng.
Therefore, the stronger the gang in a region, the safer they are. In the case of the Rose Gang, with the other four gangs eyeing them covetously, they will probably send someone to test the waters, and there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the near future.
However, since there were no powerful gangs protecting the West District, few people dared to settle there.
However, Xie Wei had no such concerns, and Zheng Qi was not worried about his safety either. After all, he could no longer discern Xie Wei's cultivation level; he could only sense that the aura emanating from Xie Wei was becoming increasingly similar to that of the guardian of the Zheng family.
Xie Wei sent Zheng Qi and his group to Nancheng. He thought it was the same as when they were abroad. He felt that Xie Wei wanted the land in the West District, but now that the land had been taken by someone else, he should be punished.
Xie Wei waved his hand, knowing that Zheng Qi had definitely misunderstood him.
The West District lacks the protection of powerful gangs, leading to constant infighting among smaller gangs. The four major gangs must also want to expand their territory. They chose the West District because it was the fastest way to spread their news to the major forces in the South City.
Even without him making any move, the various forces will begin to suspect the reason for his arrival in Nancheng. When someone can no longer contain themselves and comes to him in person, he can say whatever he wants, which will truly stir up the most trouble.
However, now that the West District has been taken over, he doesn't really care. When he learned of this, he had other plans.
As for safety, with the imminent breakthrough to the late stage of the Mortal Realm, plus the boost from the third level of the Asura technique that will barely allow them to enter the realm, and with the Asura Purgatory Spear, Tai Chi, and Free and Easy techniques, and several members of Zheng Qi's group having broken through to the Innate Realm, there shouldn't be any problem.
The place Zheng Qi found for Xie Wei was a villa built halfway up a mountain. The mountain was not steep, otherwise it would have been impossible to build a villa there, but it was the only villa on the entire mountain.
I heard that the person who bought this mountain originally planned to build all around the mountainside and develop it into villas to make money. However, as mentioned before, the situation in the West District is that he later incurred a lot of debt, and after building the road and the villa, he was imprisoned.
The original builders did a good job of constructing the road, which, due to the shape of the mountain, is like a gentle slope.
The location is also quite good. This mountain is roughly in the middle of the western district, making it very convenient to go anywhere. If this were in Beijing, I don't know how much the housing prices would be inflated.
The villa occupies about two acres of land and is roughly divided into two areas: the master bedroom and the servants' quarters. Because Zheng Qi had tidied it up, the interior is fully equipped and has everything one could need.
After distributing the pills obtained from the Heartless Immortal to the women, Xie Wei still had quite a few left. He took out a few suitable for cultivation and gave them to Zheng Qi and the others, telling them to cultivate diligently and strive to reach the Innate Realm.
He's going to start cultivating too.
