In the northern part of the city, in an unnamed guesthouse.
Wei Zhuo came out of the room.
"Boss, you asked me to talk to the team about what they said, and they said they understand."
Ye Yan had just finished his cultivation and was wiping the sweat from his brow with a towel.
He could sense that the opportunity for a breakthrough was in the next few days.
He nodded slightly upon hearing Wei Zhuo's words.
Han Lie was also cultivating with Ye Yan. He had been thinking about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. He looked at Ye Yan and said, "Boss, the pests have already been caught, so why are we delaying our actions?"
Upon hearing Han Lie's question, Wei Zhuo's lips twitched, and he looked at Han Lie with a look of concern.
Upon seeing Wei Zhuo's gaze, Han Lie immediately grabbed him by the throat and shouted.
"Little Seven, what kind of look is that? Are you questioning your Fourth Brother?"
"I won't dare, I won't dare!" Wei Zhuo couldn't beat him, so he could only beg for mercy.
Watching the two bickering in front of him, Ye Yan simply smiled and then said, "Do you remember what Director Luo said when we first went to the branch office?"
"It's just that we can't find information about the [medicine], and..." Han Lie's expression suddenly turned serious as he spoke, "...there are rats in the bureau."
He began muttering to himself again, "Yes, the pests are starting to show themselves, but they haven't even seen a rat's tail yet."
“Those pests and rats are not on the same level. Only we and Director Chen know about Team One’s affairs. Taking action rashly would alert them and expose Team One,” Ye Yan said slowly.
When Ye Yan exchanged information with Xie Wei, he only mentioned that they were colleagues, but given Xie Wei's intelligence, he should be able to guess most of it.
“A small number of pests and rats must maintain contact. As long as a team keeps a close eye on the pests, there is a chance to find the rats as well.”
Han Lie seemed to wake from a dream, and Wei Zhuo shook his head upon seeing this.
Han Lie immediately noticed his action and then gave him a malicious smile.
Wei Zhuo touched his neck and immediately said, "I'll go organize the data and then send it to the higher-ups."
He ran back to his room as soon as he finished speaking.
What Ye Yan didn't say was that he could also do someone a favor along the way.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yaoxia, Qin Mengmeng, and Qian Hao returned from outside.
"Boss, here's the information you requested," Qian Hao said, handing the documents to Xie Wei.
"You've worked hard," Ye Yan patted Qian Hao on the shoulder. He knew that Qian Hao had put in a lot of effort to get the information he had, and his face showed signs of fatigue.
Qian Hao smiled, "Compared to what you'll be doing next, boss, this little bit of hard work is worth it."
"Are you really going?" This was the question Zhou Yaoxia asked Ye Yan.
Hearing Zhou Yaoxia's question, Ye Yan nodded and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mengmeng and Ming will be with me, everything will be fine. I'll leave everything in the team to you from now on."
Zhou Yaoxia asked again, "When do we depart?"
Ye Yan clenched his fist, feeling the spiritual energy within his body.
"Once I break through to the Entry level, it should be within the next few days."
...
Due to Hong Tu's original visit and various other reasons, the two decided to go to the South District, which is the territory of the Shark Gang.
However, Xie Wei approached Lu Changhe before that.
The two agreed to meet at a private teahouse.
When Xie Wei arrived, Lu Changhe was already there and was sitting at the tea table brewing tea.
Upon seeing Xie Weilai, they even poured him a cup of wine.
"Let's be frank, Young Master Xie. What brings you here?"
Xie Wei accepted the tea, somewhat approving of his way of speaking.
"Hehe, it's nothing much, I just happened to find out that you seem to have leaked some important information to the government."
Upon hearing Xie Wei's words, Lu Changhe was startled, his hand paused while pouring water, and the water overflowed onto the table.
"Sorry, I lost my composure," Lu Changhe said, picking up a rag and wiping the table.
"Young Master Xie, you have impressive skills; you even know about something like this."
These were Ye Yan's last words at the senior citizens' park that night.
"According to my investigation, the person who revealed the list of pests released by the Bear Gang was Lu Changhe."
Xie Wei smiled as he thought of this, his movements casual as if he were talking about something trivial.
"It's just that I have some connections."
Lu Changhe had lost interest in making tea and just kept looking at Xie Wei, but he didn't know where to start. He had underestimated Xie Wei's abilities.
“Mr. Lu, there’s no need to worry,” Zhang Xiewei gently blew on the hot tea in his cup, took a sip, and said, “I just wanted to confirm this matter so that we can continue our cooperation.”
"Cooperation?" Lu Changhe asked, puzzled.
“That’s right.” Xie Wei put down his teacup and leaned forward. “I can help you become the leader of the gang, and all you need to do is cooperate with me on a few things.”
Lu Changhe narrowed his eyes, sizing up Xie Wei. "Why are you helping me? What benefit do I get from it?"
Xie Wei smiled and held up two fingers. "First, the Bear Gang is already under police control and won't be able to cause trouble for long. Second, Lu Changqing is going to fall, and you are more suitable to manage a gang than Lu Changjiang. Consider this my investment in you."
"If you don't believe me, you can try refusing me."
Lu Changhe's heart skipped a beat. He was well aware of the Bear Gang's predicament and Xie Wei's strength. After a moment of silence, he asked, "How do you want me to cooperate?"
A shrewd glint flashed in Xie Wei's eyes. "It's simple, just follow my instructions. I'll tell you the specific details later."
Lu Changhe gritted his teeth, "Fine, I agree. But how can I trust you won't abandon me after using me?"
Xie Wei crossed his arms and looked at the other person with a firm gaze, but said in a somewhat casual tone, "I, Xie Wei, have always valued my promises and always keep my word. You can rest assured."
"If you still have doubts about me and don't trust me, it's not too late to back out now."
"Besides, Mr. Lu, you have no other choice now, do you?"
Lu Changhe opened his mouth slightly, wanting to refute Xie Wei's words, but he didn't know how to refute them.
The person in front of me is right.
"I can't see where you're standing," Lu Changhe sighed heavily, then shook his head and asked, "So? Which side is Young Master Xie on?"
"I'm on the side of interests," Xie Wei said calmly. "Whichever side can bring me the greatest benefit, that's the side I'll stand on."
"So, Mr. Lu, do you believe me?"
Lu Changhe listened to Xie Wei's words and pondered to himself. He naturally did not believe Xie Wei's earlier claim of self-interest, but at the moment he could not find any other reason; he could not see through the man in front of him.
"I hope you keep your word." Lu Changhe finally made up his mind.
“A very wise choice,” Xie Wei nodded with a smile. “It will be a pleasure to cooperate.”
After reaching a consensus, the two began to discuss the specific plan.
The story of Nancheng should be reaching its climax.
