Chapter 576 The Man Who Killed Ye Qian
I don't understand what Zhou Liang means. Are the things he said to Wang Xing true or false? What makes him so sure that Wang Xing and the others can survive if they follow me?
Just how many schemes did this guy set up?
He must have had a purpose in letting Wang Xing and his group follow him. It's impossible that he simply let them stay by his side just to survive; it's not that easy.
That bastard Zhou Liang must have set up a trap. Once something happens to him, Wang Xing will come looking for me.
I held the wine bottle and stared at Wang Xing in front of me, not in a hurry to speak.
After careful consideration, I suddenly understood why Zhou Liang did what he did.
Because he needs to conserve his strength!
He wants to make a comeback.
He said this to Wang Xing before the incident, so he certainly didn't expect that he would get into trouble so soon. I guess his purpose in doing so was to prepare for the future, so that if something really happened to him, the power in his hands would fall into the hands of others.
Once he puts his power in my hands, it's essentially like putting it in a safe, because he knows I certainly won't watch these people die.
Once he returns, he will likely take over this power directly from me and start afresh.
He's probably out there preparing to make a comeback.
Thinking about this, I suddenly felt so tired.
This kind of power struggle is really boring. Why not just live a good life? Why make it so complicated?
Should I accept Wang Xing and his group now?
If they accept, I'm essentially helping Zhou Liang preserve their strength; but if they don't, they'll likely be wiped out by Xu Sanshui and Ye Qian.
I took a deep breath, completely at a loss for what to do.
I stared at Wang Xing and asked, "What do you think I should do?"
Wang Xing shook his head. "If I knew what to do, I wouldn't have come to you."
I sighed and said, "I can take over your business, but there's something I need to make clear to you."
"What's up?"
I glanced around. This was a bar, and there were quite a few people here. I then said, "Let's find a quiet place. There are too many people around, and it's not a good place to talk."
"good."
After we found a safe place, we closed the door, and there were only two of us inside.
I said, “I can take you in, but there’s something I have to make clear to you. First, although you can come with me, I can’t guarantee your safety. You know the situation in Central Town right now, and you know what Xu Sanshui and Ye Qian are up to. I’m just an outsider, and it’s difficult for me to get involved in their affairs. Second, I can’t take you away from Central Town, so you’ll have to stay here.”
Wang Xing seemed very dissatisfied when he heard what I said. "If you say that, then there's absolutely no difference between us following you and not following you."
I said, "There are differences, let me continue."
"Um."
I continued, "If you're willing to help me, perhaps you can live a peaceful life from now on."
"Help you? Help you with what?"
I didn't say it directly, "You know the situation in Central Town right now. Xu Sanshui and Ye Qian are bound to have a battle in the future..."
Wang Xing said, "You want me to kill them? And then you can take control of Central Town?"
I said, "Listen to me, I didn't ask you to do that."
Hearing my words, Wang Xing breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "Go on."
I continued, "What I asked you to do is very simple: help me kill Ye Qian and his brother."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xing's expression changed drastically. He said, "What's the difference between sending me to kill Xu Sanshui and Ye Qian? Don't you know how many people those two brothers have?"
I said, "Of course I can't let you go and kill them directly. What I mean is, help me deal with Ye Qian and his group, understand?"
Wang Xing's expression softened, and he asked, "How do you want me to deal with them? Let me tell you, it's completely impossible for me to kill those two brothers directly; that would be tantamount to courting death."
I said, "I know. Since I agreed to take over your work, I can't let you take risks. So I won't force you to do things that I can't do."
Wang Xing asked, "So what do you plan for us to do?"
I said, "It's simple, weaken Ye Qian's power."
"What's the meaning?"
I continued, "It's very simple. Since you can't kill Ye Qian and his brother, you should be able to kill Ye Qian's underlings, right?"
Wang Xing nodded: "If it's those people, there shouldn't be any problems."
I said, "Since that's the case, then so be it. Starting today, you will secretly go and kill Ye Qian's people. As long as Ye Qian and his men don't find out, you can do whatever you want. Even if it causes panic on Ye Qian's side, it doesn't matter, as long as you can weaken their power."
“No problem,” Wang Xing said. “However, what is your purpose in doing this? Why did you only target Ye Qian and not Xu Sanshui?”
I said, "Sooner or later, one of them will become the next master of Central Town, and what I need to do is find someone who is relatively easy to control to be the protagonist of this Central Town, do you understand?"
Wang Xing stared at me with surprise. "I understand now. It seems there was some reason why Zhou Liang wanted us to follow you."
Upon hearing this, I was momentarily stunned, gave a wry smile, and said nothing more.
"Since that's the case, then it's settled. Go and discuss it with your people. Remember, don't let anyone find out. Even if you get caught, don't tell anyone about me, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
I left the house and returned to my own room, feeling a bit stressed.
Honestly, I was originally hoping Yao Chengjie would come to my aid, but I didn't expect that Zhou Liang's group of people would take the initiative to defect to me. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
If Zhou Liang were already dead, this would naturally be a good thing, because they would essentially become my strength. However, since Zhou Liang is still alive, it's uncertain whether these people are actually usable.
However, the people used to deal with Ye Qian now are perfectly capable.
As long as we can weaken the power in Ye Qian's hands, everything will be fine.
...
Before I knew it, it was already 11 p.m. Suddenly, I heard a knock at the door. I went to open it and saw Yu Xing standing outside.
He didn't say a word, just handed me a note and ran away.
I opened the note and saw what it said. A slight smile appeared on my lips. "Looks like Ye Qian is finished this time."
