Upon learning of Tiger's arrest, Qin Tian's eyes flashed with barely suppressed elation, as if a long-dormant beast had caught the scent of blood and instantly become excited and ferocious.
A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips as he plotted how to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to completely overturn the underground order of Binhai and elevate himself to the supreme throne.
Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Tian quickly gathered hundreds of his desperate men, who were usually obedient to him. Now they were eager to fight.
Under the cover of night, a massive convoy, led by Qin Tian, surged toward Tiger's former territory like an unstoppable black torrent, leaving behind only fear and unease in its wake.
Upon arriving at their destination, Qin Tian personally donned his armor and led a group of fanatical followers in a rampage of vandalism, looting, and arson.
Armed with sticks, knives, and even homemade guns, they smashed shops to pieces and scattered goods everywhere they went; innocent people fled in terror, their cries and pleas for help creating a human tragedy.
Qin Tian, however, seemed detached from the situation, a smug smile on his face, enjoying the twisted pleasure brought by power and violence.
Under Qin Tian's command, his subordinates had a clear division of labor: some were responsible for violent destruction, others for robbing property, and some shrewd individuals began to take over the management of these territories and establish a new "order".
Qin Tian's arrogance was no less than that of Tiger in the past, and perhaps even surpassed it. He seemed determined to prove with his actions who the true king of Binhai was.
In just one night, several important strongholds that originally belonged to Tiger changed hands. Qin Tian's flag flew high in these places. Qin Tian stood on a ruin that was reddened by firelight and loudly announced to his subordinates: "From today onwards, I, Qin Tian, am the true number one boss in Binhai!" His voice was full of unquestionable domineering and arrogance.
However, Qin Tian and his men were unaware that their actions were being closely watched by an invisible eye.
Behind the scenes, an elite investigation team is working diligently to gather evidence of their crimes. Every act of violence and every instance of plunder is meticulously recorded, becoming irrefutable evidence to bring them to justice in the future.
Hanging out in the underworld? You could manage before, but now? The authorities have started a crackdown!
Tiger has already gone in, and Qin Tian still doesn't understand what's going on. He still wants to be the boss?
I wonder if he'll still be this crazy when he gets arrested.
===
Zhang Fan knew that Qin Tian would try to seize territory. Before, when Tiger was still around, he could only be considered the second-in-command. Now? He wanted to be the number one.
The top leader must have real strength; taking over Tiger's territory is proof of that strength.
In the underworld, it's all about who's more ruthless; only the ruthless earn respect.
These days, money alone isn't enough; you also need social connections.
Zhang Fan sat happily in the shop, everything going according to his plan.
Looking at the hooded man in front of me, he's here again.
Zhang Fan initially thought Lin Dong was just a pretty boy, but now it seems he's not that simple.
Otherwise, why would Wang Qingyan be with a pretty boy? And why would she let him steal even though she knew he was doing it?
This Lin Dong has quite a powerful background.
However, no matter how difficult it is to deal with the underworld, one still has to honestly admit defeat.
Lin Dong has already given Qin Shao a small amount, but it's still not enough.
I need to find a way to make some money now, and the only way is to sell my girlfriend's valuables.
This time, he must have brought something good. Lin Dong had no other choice. Going to other places was unreliable, so this kid in front of him was better.
Zhang Fan looked at the jadeite rough stone in front of him, a smile playing on his lips. It was obvious that Wang Qingyan had taken precautions; this was a gift she had given him.
In front of me is a jadeite rough stone weighing about ten kilograms. It has already been drilled and its eye has been opened. When a light is shone inside, it is immediately clear that it is a top-grade imperial green.
This is something that excites people.
The highest grade of jadeite is imperial green, specifically glass-type imperial green.
Then, to calculate the value, you need to see how many bracelet slots there are. The size and shape of the stone are right in front of you, and you can estimate how many bracelet slots there are just by drawing a few lines with a pen.
"Can you eat it?"
Lin Dong looked smug.
Can you eat it?
This thing, wherever you take it, as long as someone knows it, can give you a minimum guarantee of more than a small goal at a glance.
Zhang Fan smiled. He was different from others because he had X-ray vision. How could he not know what kind of stone it was?
At first glance, apart from the drilled area, the rest of the material is a mess of textures, faults, and blank surfaces. It's just a piece of scrap material that has been carefully cut open. The material exposed by the drilled hole isn't even enough to cover a cabochon!
Are there any other good things?
Zhang Fan smiled.
"Two small goals."
Lin Dong quoted a price directly.
If there's nothing wrong with the product, then the market price is acceptable; with some haggling, a small profit would be about right, but Zhang Fan had absolutely no interest.
No matter how much it costs, you'll lose a fortune if you buy it.
So this time, it's hard to tell whether Lin Dong stole something or Wang Qingyan sent him to scam people.
"I don't gamble on jade; I want transparent goods."
Zhang Fan sipped his tea.
Lin Dong was taken aback.
"A small goal."
If you don't believe it yourself, good things will still be unwanted!
If the price is right, it should be easy to sell.
Seeing that Zhang Fan was still shaking his head, Lin Dong got angry: "Do you know how much this thing costs?"
How much? I don't want it myself.
Lin Dong was so angry that he grabbed the stone and left. "If they don't want it here, there are plenty of other places that will!"
Seeing that Lin Dong had left, Zhang Fan wasn't angry. Whoever bought it would be unlucky and go bankrupt.
He didn't have much capital to begin with, and he finally earned tens of millions.
We don't want to export everything just because of a piece of scrap material.
Lin Dong was furious, cursing under his breath.
He went to the other side of the antique street and came to the shop of the second-in-command.
Anyone who comes here to sell things will choose this place; it's obviously a prestigious place.
Zhang Fan was fooled by the impressive facade of this place; it was actually a shady business.
The second-in-command has been having a tough time lately; he's been set up and hasn't figured out how to get revenge yet.
When the second-in-command saw a hooded man carrying a stone come in, he immediately became interested.
"Shopkeeper, can you afford the price?"
Lin Dong put the stone down.
The second-in-command immediately closed the door, then took out a flashlight and shone it around. After looking at it, his eyes were filled with excitement.
This is amazing! Top-quality imperial green!
That's a huge stone, enough for at least dozens of bracelets! You're rich!
How do you want to sell it?
The second-in-command looked at Lin Dong, his mind starting to race with ulterior motives.
"Two small goals."
Lin Dong extended his two little fingers.
