"Mr. Xu, you're not lying to me, are you?"
Upon hearing the name "Spark," Ding Jun's face instantly darkened, and his tone became somewhat annoyed, "You mean, Shen He is currently hiding with Zhang Shijun?"
"Perhaps 'sincere cooperation' would be a more accurate description?"
Xu Shi smiled. It seemed he really didn't know; this kind of reaction couldn't be faked... "Didn't Chief Ding investigate? You should know more about the Sin City than I do."
"..."
Ding Jun didn't reply, but his face grew increasingly gloomy. He squeezed the purple clay teapot in his hand until it cracked, and tea was seeping out.
Of course he had investigated. Ever since "Spark" was disintegrated under the repeated attacks of "Shark Tooth" not long ago, he had ordered his men to carefully search for the remnants of "Spark" and kill them one by one without hesitation.
After all, he and Shen He had a grudge against each other before—or rather, many gangs in Sin City were like that. In recent years, "Spark" had developed and expanded incredibly fast, which would inevitably affect the interests of these old-established gangs.
Chenhe has taken away their territory and resources, but it is difficult for them to win when they want to fight back. Every time a conflict breaks out, they are the ones who suffer losses, losing once and losing twice.
Under such circumstances, how could one not feel hatred?
Not to mention the matter of the Birch Plains. The large-scale battle between "Spark" and "Serpent Ring" caused significant damage to the Seventh District under his jurisdiction. Even now, many places have not been fully repaired.
During this time, Ding Jun also had a lot of headaches about these things... It can be said that he hated Shen He to the core.
But after "Shark Tooth" withdrew from Sin City, this group of defeated soldiers seemed to have vanished without a trace, and no matter how hard they searched, they could not find a single trace.
Ding Jun had been puzzled before, but if what Xu Shi said was true, then everything made sense—if "Disge" was intentionally protecting someone, then finding Shen He would indeed be very difficult. As a fellow gang leader, he knew very well that he could do the same thing.
But that's going too far. After all, when Shenhe got into trouble, these gangs who had suffered losses at the hands of "Spark" had gathered together and agreed that no one could take them in. Instead, they would take advantage of their weakness and kill this cancerous tumor completely!
"Damn it, you old dog Zhang, you're two-faced!"
Thinking of this, Ding Jun couldn't help but curse.
Having dealt with the other party for so many years, he wasn't surprised that Zhang Shijun would do such a thing. That was just the nature of that bastard. On the contrary, he had been negligent and should have considered that Zhang might be secretly plotting something.
But he was really angry; he even gritted his teeth to pieces.
"I have no interest in watching Chief Ding get angry. If you're angry, you can vent it after I leave."
Xu Shi shrugged. "Now, why don't you tell me your choice?"
"..."
Ding Jun snapped out of his daze, put down the purple clay teapot in his hand, shook off the water, and looked at him with increasing seriousness.
To be fair, setting aside the inherent hatred that Sin City people have for Night City people, his impression of this young master wasn't actually that bad.
On one hand, the two of them had a common enemy. He had not forgotten what caused the battle on the Huajin Plain. Everyone said that "Shark Tooth" defeated "Spark", but before that, it was this young Chairman Xu in front of him who dealt a heavy blow to Shenhe. If you really want to talk about it, he was the one who played the key role.
Although "Snake Ring" was another culprit in the destruction of District Seven, it did send material aid afterward. Even though Ding Jun knew that such behavior was mostly a show by the Dog Consortium to save face, it is undeniable that he at least gained some benefits.
However, there's no point in bringing this up now; Xu Shi's attitude is already very clear.
To cooperate with "Snake Ring," one must abandon "imaginary numbers," and probably to the extent of a complete and drastic change.
They're giving you such generous weapons aid, they certainly aren't asking you to try and profit from both sides. Even if they did have that intention, they should consider whether they can bear the consequences.
To be honest, he also found it hard to refuse. Not only was he envious of the good equipment, but he was also wary of it. There was more than one gang of his size in Sin City. Even if they didn't come to him, apart from "Disge", Xu Shi could find others to cooperate with.
Once these things fall into other people's hands, Ding Jun will have to worry about his future situation.
"...Then we'll have to rely on Chairman Xu a lot from now on."
Without much hesitation, he made the decision on the spot.
"happy."
Xu Shi clapped his hands lightly, stood up and shook hands firmly with Ding Jun, even exchanging the usual Sin City etiquette with him. "Chief Ding, you can look forward to it. Working under me, you'll get more than just a 'Disguise'... Have you ever heard that saying?"
"What?"
"From this day forward, in the City of Night Sin, white is the greatest, and black is the greatest."
Goodness.
Ding Jun sighed inwardly.
This doesn't sound like a collaboration at all; it sounds more like he's become her henchman... and Xu Shi's words sound quite arrogant.
Putting aside other gangs, Sin City has "Dragon City" above it, so everyone can cause as much trouble as they want, but they would never dare to mess with the big brother.
However, those words were indeed inspiring, and he couldn't help but nod, a smile of anticipation for the future spreading across his face.
...
"Miss Ye will have to take good care of the subsequent equipment delivery."
On the way back after leaving District Seven, Xu Shi instructed, "You should have a lot of experience in this area, so you should be able to do a good job this time, right?"
