Chen Tinghan suddenly stopped and turned to look at Wang Jinling, but saw that there was no sign of arrogance or pride on her face. Instead, she seemed a little humble. This look made him alert and he looked at her more carefully.
For a moment, he suspected that the woman who was good at killing had returned, but then it seemed to be just an illusion. The Wang Jinling at this moment was somewhat different from the Wang Jinling in every stage of his previous life.
He controlled his reason, took a deep breath, and then said, "Whose people are those two in the car?"
"Li Ze, or Ai Chunxiao, to be honest, I don't care much. If you want to know, I can ask for you." Wang Jinling leaned the stick in her hand against the table, walked towards the bar counter, picked up the wine glass she had just put down, and the mobile phone next to it with one hand.
"Let me see. Someone who... doesn't have a gang background, isn't a familiar face, or a 'law-abiding citizen,' but Ai Chunxiao's people, that's not uncommon."
Chen Tinghan still focused on the key point first: "No one will die?"
"If you look at it from the perspective of the underworld, it won't even hurt anyone," Wang Jinling said, holding a wine glass, slowly walking towards him, and said with a smile: "You are a discerning person. I won't do anything that will hurt anyone's life in this place, because you can see it and find out. Even if it's in secret, I don't want to disappoint you.
On the other hand, if there was a real murder or even an injury in this place, it would give people something to criticize. They only had minor injuries, at most, a little embarrassment."
Ai Chunxiao... Chen Tinghan went over her deeds in his mind at this time. There was not much known about her in her previous life because she packaged herself as a "legitimate businessman". Although she did a lot of shady things in secret, she hardly fought and killed like the "brothers on the road".
How could someone like her infiltrate this street?
Chen Tinghan pondered for a moment and guessed, "Let me guess, did she send someone in to ruin your business?"
"It's not ours, it's everyone's." Wang Jinling smiled and said, "This street no longer has drugs, gambling machines, or prostitutes. And on this street, the gangsters are a minority, and the majority are just people going about their daily lives."
Chen Tinghan looked at her and suddenly felt moved. He wondered whether all the things he had done and the efforts he had made had yielded results, and whether they had more or less led the girl away from the path she had taken back then.
He didn't want to indulge in excessive optimism and quickly broke free from it. He suddenly said, "They were fighting over the cake. That's why Zhang Keqi is in jail because Wang Kai couldn't come up with the money to deflect the conflict. Now that you've ruined this cash cow, how are you going to pay them to keep them working for you?"
"It's a very pointed question, but I can answer it," Wang Jinling said, holding up her wine glass. "Part of this is Zhang Keqi's old money. All the funds he transferred are in my hands. He agreed to use this money to settle his subordinates. The other part is Ai Chunxiao's investment."
"Investment? She invested in you?"
"Investment, but not for me." Wang Jinling tilted her head to look out the window and said with a smile, "She believes that the excellent geographical location of this street and the 'migrant' dignitaries will make this place look brand new, with high-rise buildings rising from the ground, office buildings, and commercial streets. This is a new trend, and this is what Wang Kai needs.
That's why a man with such a strong desire for control would choose a rotten crotch as his mistress and let her participate in his family business."
Li Ze, on the other hand, wanted to use his usual tactics to force these people into submission. Two styles, two methods. Chen Tinghan understood, and asked pointedly, "Do you believe that these people under you can bring about these new trends?"
Wang Jinling tapped his lips with her index finger, pushed him to the edge of the pool table, and said, "I like your cleverness in asking every question to the point—frankly, I don't believe it."
"There are many smart people in the Wang family, many of whom have been cleared of wrongdoing, but they are clearly not among them. They enjoy violence too much and are too accustomed to it. Moreover, they have many murders on their backs that they will never be able to wash away in this lifetime. Wang Kai can suppress it, but when Wang Kai is gone, no, even now when Wang Kai is still here, these things are time bombs that he is eager to get rid of."
"So, they have to die." Chen Tinghan said in a deep voice.
"Yes, they must die, and their deaths must have nothing to do with me or the Wang family." Wang Jinling's eyes were blazing as she spoke, "And this is exactly what you've been pursuing. The punishment for the sins is what they deserve, and good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished."
Chen Tinghan looked at her, suddenly laughed bitterly, and said, "You know, I've always thought you were terrifying. How could you be so calm and calm as to give these people who work for you such a tragic ending?"
"Is it scary? Perhaps, but this is me, always the same. My goal is to clear the Wang family's hidden dangers. I will take their place, but there is still a dispute between us about the scope of this hidden danger to be cleared."
Wang Jinling said in a very gentle tone, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, there's not that much hatred between us. Don't let those memories, or rather, don't let the me of the past and future, influence your judgment. I'm not her."
Without a doubt, these words touched Chen Tinghan's heart. This was exactly the answer he had always wanted to hear. It had to be said that it was too bewitching and inflammatory. The words mixed with the body fragrance penetrated into his nostrils, just like a strong drug. It was chosen at this vulnerable point when his family was attacked and the attitude of his backers was unclear, making it difficult for Chen Tinghan to resist.
"It's okay if you think I'm scary, but you have to ask yourself, is that really all you think I'm scary?"
