"Time flies. Even before Zhang Keqi was imprisoned, this street was still a filthy, festering money-making machine. Beyond that, countless dignitaries from other places, like migratory birds, would fly to this island and settle there at the right time. It was truly like a huge gold mine, inexhaustible, with surprises at every turn."
"So you see, there are secret guards standing everywhere on the street, doing who knows what. Can you tell if they are Li Ze's, Ai Chunxiao's, or someone else's?"
Wang Jinling said, "They all think this street is theirs."
Chen Tinghan could naturally see the various anomalies in this street: tourists dressed as if they were traveling but standing still for a long time, busy browsing their phones; vendors who were clearly out setting up stalls but remained silent despite having few customers; and the same car that had passed by this street three times. All these things were suspicious.
Chen Tinghan was a little confused and asked, "Is it really that serious?"
"Very much so." Wang Jinling said: "You think the Wang family is so glorious, but Wang Kai also has his own difficulties. In the past, they had more business and a bigger plate. The money seemed to come like a strong wind and could be given to more people. Now it's different. The cake is so big.
The domestic illicit drug market, dominated by Wang Kai, suffered a devastating blow, its market share shrinking rapidly. On the one hand, the thugs he previously employed, who had given him such prestige at Wanghai, now had to be dismissed in droves, and he had to be extremely cautious to avoid a backlash. After all, no one wanted to be the next pawn to be discarded.
"So Wang Kai had to stir up trouble..." Chen Tinghan understood the purpose of this street, the origin of the chaos, and why it continued to this day. "If Wang Kai didn't push these things out and let them fight among themselves, they would have pointed their guns at Wang Kai."
"Many people believe Zhang Keqi was imprisoned because Li Ze had purged him, because the conflict between them had become irreconcilable. However, the truth is exactly the opposite." Wang Jinling revealed the Wang family's secret: "They get along very well."
"So, Wang Kai instigated Li Ze to suppress Zhang Keqi?" Chen Tinghan frowned. "But, Li Ze wouldn't be so obedient. He's not stupid. He knows that if he defeats Zhang Keqi now, he'll be next."
"The same old three: incitement, deception, and manipulation. Sounds the same, right?"
As they spoke, the two of them walked to a residential building. Although it only had six floors, it was already quite impressive on this street. Before Wang Jinling could say anything, someone inside opened the door for them and invited them in.
It was an auntie who opened the door for the two of them, reported on the cleaning work, and then left tactfully.
Chen Tinghan was a little numb and asked, "Is this building also yours?"
"It was at the end of the last century." Wang Jinling smiled and said, "At this point, what's there to be surprised about?"
"It seems the Wang family has really taken a staggering amount of money from the people." Chen Tinghan chuckled sarcastically. "So who really owns this building now? Li Ze, Wang Kai, Ai Chunxiao, or you, Wang Jinling?"
Wang Jinling didn't explain the problem, but instead said, "Wang Kai has reached his current position because he's good at intimidating and greedy people. Li Ze is both greedy and fearful right now. He's been tempted by Zhang Keqi's resources, but he's afraid that if he doesn't act now, Zhang Keqi will push him into it."
"Zero-sum game." Chen Tinghan said it succinctly.
"That's right." Wang Jinling said as the elevator went up to the top room on the sixth floor. What caught her eye was a... bar?
The bar was simply furnished with a bar counter, a few cabinets, a record player, a whole wall of fine wines, and a pool table. She walked over, used a corkscrew to remove the cork, and there was a popping sound as the cork popped out.
Wang Jinling leaned in and sniffed it, revealing a look of fascination or disgust. She asked, "Wine, would you like a glass?"
Chen Tinghan said firmly: "Minors are not allowed to drink."
"You're so rigid," Wang Jinling pouted in dissatisfaction, showing her little girl's attitude. "But I'm an adult now, you have no right to control me."
Chen Tinghan said coldly: "You are talking nonsense, your birthday is clearly at the end of next month."
"That's the birthday set by my family. Wang Kai, who has done so many bad things, believes in this. He found a fortune teller to tell my birthday right after I was born. I don't know what the fortune teller said, but he insisted on postponing my birthday for a month." Wang Jinling said helplessly, pouring herself a glass of wine.
Chen Tinghan said without mercy, "Don't talk nonsense, I've seen your ID card."
"..." Wang Jinling fell silent. She put down her wine glass, rolled her eyes angrily, and said, "What a spoiler."
"Then play two rounds with me." Wang Jinling said, not giving him a chance to refuse. She put on a glove with two fingers exposed and threw the club to him, as if she would ignore him if he didn't obey.
Chen Tinghan had no choice but to pick up the club.
Although the decoration of this place is not complicated, it is very thoughtful. The original partitions of the entire floor have been completely demolished and integrated. When you come out of the elevator, you can see a full floor-to-ceiling window directly in front of you. The view is also very spacious and you can see the situation outside at a glance.
It can't be said that you can see the whole world, and there are no stunning views for the two of them to see. The only advantage is that they can play ball while watching the hustle and bustle outside.
Wang Jinling took the lead and scored a goal on her tee shot. Seeing her leaning over the table with her beautiful body leaning forward, she skillfully hit one shot after another as if she wanted to clear the table, Chen Tinghan didn't know whether he was admiring her skills or something else.
