"I also have a backup plan outside the city. With further arrangements, we can launch a large-scale riot that will affect the entire city at the right time."
"Of course, this is only the first step. Our real purpose is to take advantage of the riots to behead Xu Shi."
"If we can take his life, then the operation will already be half successful."
"At that time, we only need to hold onto the results we have obtained to get what we need."
"..."
Hearing Shen Qin say this, Lin Wenhua was stunned for a moment.
Goodness, this girl's idea is ruthless enough—a city-wide riot?
To be honest, this was indeed beyond his expectations, and do you really have the strength to support, or rather, launch such a large-scale operation?
"That's why we came to find Lord Dragon City."
Shen Qin continued leisurely, "What we lack is weapons and equipment, but unfortunately, Xu Shi has them firmly in his hands."
"But if we could make purchases in small batches under the name of 'Dragon City,' this problem could be alleviated."
"Whether it's the 'Forgotten Ones' who chose to settle in Sin City, or the people under the Dragon Lord's own command, together they form a very powerful force."
"...Stop, stop, I haven't agreed to that yet."
Long Tianding felt a chill run down his spine. Good heavens, so they're using me as their base?
The key point is that Nan Qian is really too crazy. Even though he occupies half of the Night Sin City, he never thought of such a thing. And you come up here and set it up like this? It sounds ridiculous.
"To be honest, my relationship with Xu Shi is not good, but it's definitely not bad either."
He scrutinized the two people in front of him. "Why should I go crazy with you two?"
"Leaving aside how much benefit I will receive after it's done, whether you can even succeed is still unknown."
"Lord Long is joking. Nothing in this world is ever 100% guaranteed to succeed."
Shen Qin was not afraid at all upon hearing this. "It just depends on whether you dare to take the gamble... Of course, if you really don't want to take the risk, you can arrest us now and hand us over to Xu Shi for disposal."
"Anyway, as far as I know, Lord Long, you have been suppressed by Xu Shi quite a bit, so taking him down will naturally benefit you. As for how much, why do I need to list it out for you one by one?"
"..."
Long Tianding pursed his lips.
These words hit a nerve with him.
It would be a lie to say that Xu Shi hadn't suppressed them. In the previous incident, Xu Shi had already eroded the "Long Knife Gang." Ding Jun, that ingrate, could no longer be considered one of their henchmen, and the Sixth District was also falling apart.
Including subsequent chips and equipment... It's clear that Xu Shi doesn't want to maintain a cooperative relationship with him, but rather to suppress him. He has suffered a lot in these matters.
Long Tianding would never admit that he wanted to sit and wait for death; at least breaking the ice with "Feather Pen" was one of his actions.
However, it cannot be denied that this approach will not produce immediate results. Moreover, it must be considered that if Sin City and Night City truly break down their barriers, his status and control will not increase. On the contrary, once the other five conglomerates have established themselves in Sin City, his power will inevitably be further weakened.
To be honest, this was a bit hard for him to accept; it felt like being cut with a dull knife.
So for him, it was indeed time to make a choice.
Is it as previously agreed, to continue to be on good terms with Xu Shi and work together to develop the livelihood of Sin City?
Or should they choose to join forces with Lin Wenhua and the "Forgotten Ones" and take a gamble to overturn the existing order?
"While you're targeting Xu Shi, aren't you worried about the other conglomerates at all?"
He clasped his hands together in deep thought and said, "If such a huge wave were to be stirred up, it's impossible for them to remain completely silent."
"I think that as long as we can take down Xu Shi, or rather, 'Snake Ring,' as quickly as possible, the others will naturally know how to maximize their gains and minimize their losses?"
Shen Qin pondered for a moment and said, "Or does Lord Long think that if Xu Shi is destroyed, they will be wholeheartedly devoted to avenging him?"
"...What you said makes sense."
Long Tianding remained noncommittal, but in essence, the six major conglomerates also need to link their interests together.
Now everyone follows Xu Shi's lead, on the premise that he has indeed brought a lot of benefits to everyone.
But if we only focus on him and target him for dismissal, other people's first reaction will definitely not be to mourn him and turn against him. Instead, they will wait and see, weigh the pros and cons, and then make a decision.
They might even turn against their own side and try every means to get a share of the spoils—just like the "Refraction" and "Heavenly River" back then. When the two behemoths suddenly collapsed, the people below immediately acted like jackals smelling blood, quickly dividing up their remaining parts.
As one of those who witnessed this change, Long Tianding was very familiar with it.
Of course, this premise must be based on the fact that the current "Snake Ring" has been destroyed to the level of "Refraction" and "Milky Way".
Or perhaps Lin Wenhua is an inside man, even if the involvement is minor, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
Seeing Shen Qin's confidence, Long Tianding was somewhat tempted by her words.
However, there are still concerns—at least the "Prism" and "Feather Pen" companies cannot be ignored. Xie Qingyan is alright, as he knows the woman's character to some extent, but Wen Shengkui is a different story. The old man is very old-fashioned and might very well help his eldest grandson even if they are separated by blood.
