"I actually feel a bit of a headache."
Lin Yue thought about it and laughed, then teased her sister, "It's already a hassle to manage half of the Sixth District, and now there's half of the Tenth District too, hmm..."
Versailles, huh? Xu Shi rolled his eyes behind her back, but that was exactly what he wanted to say to Lin Yue.
"Actually, I've been considering using the tenth district we've acquired to make a deal."
"Um?"
"My idea is that it's better to break one finger than to injure ten fingers. Of course, that's not an exact analogy, but that's the idea."
Lin Xing explained, "Instead of splitting the Sixth and Tenth districts in half, why not use this to gain complete control of one district? What do you think, sister?"
"Ah, you mean..."
Lin Yue then realized what was happening.
“That’s right, we used half of District 10 to exchange for the other half of District 6 from Ding Jun.”
Lin Xing said seriously, "In that case, we will have a truly complete base in the future."
"Actually, it's the same on the other hand. We could exchange District Six for District Ten, but we've been running this place for so long, it would be more troublesome to start from scratch."
"you're right."
Lin Yue wholeheartedly agreed. Putting everything else aside, what she wanted most was a complete Sixth District—this was where her heart truly lay, a clean and pure land free from the filthy business of sex dolls. To her, this was perhaps more important than territory.
only……
Will Ding Jun agree to this deal?
She still had some concerns. What she wanted to exchange was territory, not radishes and cabbages; there were countless complex and intertwined factors involved.
It's true that you managed District Six, but the other party did too. Exchanging half a relatively stable area for a newly changed area isn't exactly an equivalent exchange in a sense.
I think he will.
Lin Xing wasn't worried about this.
Even if I didn't put pressure on him, he might not have held onto the Sixth District.
The sex doll business he took over from Zhang Shijun did not bring him the expected profits—of course, Lin Yue's interference played a significant role in this. Many sex dolls even risked everything to profit from their Sixth District West. Under such circumstances, it was good that Ding Jun did not lose money.
This half of the sixth district, east, became a burden for him.
"My sister is such a bad person~"
At this point, Lin Xing couldn't resist making a joke.
"What are you saying, you brat?"
Lin Yue playfully flicked her nose, "But there's another problem. If we take complete control of the Sixth District, won't our armed supply channels still be..."
"The distribution channels follow the people. As long as you win over those few middlemen, it won't be a big problem."
Lin Xing rubbed his nose, feeling wronged. "Besides, a leader-level gang that controls an entire region has a higher strategic position than one that controls two half-regions. In every aspect, they will value us more."
These words were all fine, but she thought to herself that the more important reason was that whether or not she sold him the equipment was just a matter of her word.
If I don't want to, you can eat the entire Sin City and still not get any equipment.
But Lin Yue was clearly unaware of all this; the poor older sister was being manipulated by her younger sister and the big devil behind her...
However, these reasons were enough to convince her, and after making sufficient preparations, she sought out Ding Jun for negotiations.
Ding Jun readily agreed, and after some discussion, he did.
This was clearly at Xu Shi's behest, but it's also true that he didn't want District Six anymore.
Ultimately, he was the top leader of the gang, not some lowly sycophant like Xu Shi. The profits he could make in the Sixth District were really meager; how many of his men were relying on him for their livelihood...
This kind of thing is difficult to resolve because Lin Yue fundamentally abhors the sex doll business. No matter what you say, it's useless; she'll only cause you trouble... Moving to the tenth district would actually be more advantageous for him, since Song Ziyou and he are on the same path.
Whether they fight to the death or collude, the benefits they gain will only be greater.
"I really underestimated you."
As the second handover came to a close, he couldn't help but sigh.
These words were absolutely sincere. Although he knew that Lin Yue's rise was inseparable from Xu Shi, if she herself was not capable enough, no matter how many people helped her, she would still be a hopeless case.
Just like Xu Shi himself, he was quite surprised by that person's change.
"Chief Ding is too kind. We still have a lot to learn from you seniors in this regard."
Lin Xing exchanged a few polite words and pleasantries before leaving.
However, Xu Shi, who was behind him, also noticed that after the dust settled, his good sister didn't seem as happy as expected. She was a calm person and wouldn't cry or laugh in an exaggerated way, but she shouldn't have shown an expression that was almost melancholy.
"What's wrong, sister? Is something worrying you?"
As a caring younger sister, she still had to ask.
"...It's nothing, I just might need some time to process it?"
Lin Yue snapped out of her daze, waved her hand, and smiled seemingly nonchalantly, but her eyes unconsciously kept glancing at her left hand.
Left hand?
Lin Xing blinked, then remembered her severed little finger... So it was caused by her previous inappropriate analogy?
"Speaking of which, was my sister's severed finger also caused by that bastard Xu Shi?"
She thought for a moment, then asked the question knowing the answer already.
"...Didn't I tell you?"
Lin Yue shook her head. "It wasn't him, it was... someone else."
Her sister's words did indeed remind her of many things, especially the fact that she had to submit to the "Disgae" drowning river in order to survive, and that was why she had lost her finger.
