Lin Xing, or rather, Xu Shi's "more important matter," was naturally to obtain, as originally planned, the transaction records and various data panels preserved by "Disge" over the years in its operational puppet industry, ahead of Ding Jun.
These items are naturally still kept in Zhang Shijun's residence—he fled in haste, taking only a small portion with him, and the rest were found in a safe in his study.
"This is...unforgivable!"
Although she had just found peace after killing her enemy, Lin Yue was once again enraged upon seeing these things.
— Zhang Shijun is quite the businessman. He meticulously recorded all the quirks of his buyers and used this information to find suitable targets in Sin City. He then used various methods to capture and modify them.
The most precious relatives, friends, and lovers of countless people are nothing more than meat pigs to be traded in his eyes and those buyers.
And this is only what we can see immediately. Once those data bricks are analyzed, there may be something even dirtier hidden inside.
The thought that her mother had been murdered because of this made Lin Yue's clenched fists tremble.
Indeed, it's outrageous.
Lin Xing echoed her, "Luckily, we got these first, otherwise similar tragedies would have continued to happen."
"OK."
Lin Yue remained noncommittal, but suddenly felt something was off. "Speaking of which, you've been through all of this too, little sister... Don't you feel uncomfortable seeing these things?"
In her opinion, Lin Xing's reaction was too bland. Even if it wasn't a gender conversion, it was still unlikely that he would show no empathy at all.
"...All I know is that we have to get going now, sister."
Lin Xing didn't answer the question, but simply extended his hand to her. [The sound of the chariots is getting closer; the "Long Knife Gang" is probably not far away.]
"Can……"
Lin Yue hesitated for a moment. She had obtained the item, but her sister was acting strangely, and there was still no trace of Chen He... But before she could finish speaking, Lin Xing interrupted her.
I know what you're thinking, sister.
She smiled, looking at Lin Yue as if coaxing a child, "But if we don't leave now, we'll be in danger... We can talk about other things later, okay?"
!
For a moment, Lin Yue was in a daze.
Because she always felt that her sister's expression at this moment was exactly the same as the one she saw on Xu Shi's face when she was being tortured by that devil!
Is it just my imagination? That can't be... She quickly shook her head, but considering what had just happened, she couldn't help but have doubts.
But when she came to her senses, she first took her sister's hand and nodded gently, "Mmm."
Because Lin Xing was right, it was not a good place to stay... so she had no choice but to suppress her other doubts and call the others to leave before the "Long Knife Gang" arrived.
...
For Ding Jun, today was definitely a wonderful day.
For a long time, these regional gang leaders have had a long-standing feud—"Disger", "Long Knife Gang", "White Iron" from District 8, "Angry Wolf" from District 10, and "Spark" from before... There have been constant conflicts, big and small.
Who dares to say they didn't intend to kill others? As the leader of the Seventh District, he had a deep-seated grudge against Zhang Shijun.
The two districts are close to each other, and the old fox is incredibly cunning... But Zhang Shijun, relying on the connections and resources of the Night City boss, is more valued by "Dragon City," which makes him lose more often than he wins in the confrontation between the two.
Many times, even if they were wronged, they could only swallow their anger and suffer in silence.
But things are different now.
Look at the gear I have! Who can stop me? Who dares to stop me?!
The attack on "Disgaea" was incredibly exhilarating for him—in just two hours, he captured the sixth district, essentially securing the victory.
The sheer force of the crushing advance left him thoroughly satisfied.
Even killing thousands of pigs probably wouldn't have been this fast... He also dealt with other gangs that tried to take advantage of the chaos. He had just seen the elite members of "Angry Wolf," who were easily beaten to the ground by his own men.
It was so good it could be summed up in one word.
Cool.
As he pondered this, Ding Jun couldn't help but fire a few more shots into the air, then directed the tanks toward the "Disgaea" headquarters.
The refined-looking man in the hooded hat next to Shen He had been riddled with holes, but he and Zhang Shijun, those two scoundrels, were nowhere to be found.
Are they mostly hiding inside, putting up a last-ditch resistance? We mustn't let them escape... and we also need to get our hands on those core documents of "Disgaea" as soon as possible.
But what he didn't expect was that when he led his men into the main camp, all that awaited him were the corpses of the guards lying in disarray.
It was obvious he hadn't been dead long; his body wasn't even cold yet... And what was worse, no matter how thoroughly he searched the place, apart from a few empty safes, there wasn't a single useful item.
Holy crap? Where's the file?
Ding Jun was immediately alarmed. How could he not see that someone had gotten there first and committed murder and robbery!
He did manage to take over the territory, but without those core documents, the value of the Sixth District would decrease significantly—of course, he wanted to take over Zhang Shijun's sex doll business as well; wouldn't it be foolish to give up such a lucrative business?
It's not that we can't do it without those things, but who wouldn't want to have something ready-made? Starting from scratch would involve so many detours... But this is too outrageous. Who could possibly break through the blockade and get here before us?
"I swear! Who did this?!"
Ding Jun grew angrier and angrier, and couldn't help but shout, "Search him now! If you find him, I'll skin him alive..."
Before he could finish speaking, his communication bracelet rang at an inopportune moment.
"Chief Ding, how's the attack on District Six going?"
The caller was naturally Xu Shi.
"Chairman Xu."
Upon hearing it was him, Ding Jun's arrogance subsided somewhat, and he responded as calmly as possible, "We've basically secured it, it's just..."
"So the core information just couldn't be found?"
Xu Shi's tone was filled with a playful laugh.
"...How did you know?!"
Ding Jun was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Could it be..."
"That's right, I sent someone to take the things."
Xu Shi readily admitted, "Those things are also useful to me. I didn't tell you beforehand... Chief Ding won't be angry with me, will he?"
"...Look at what you're saying, how could that be?"
Ding Jun chuckled dryly, "As long as you took it, that's fine. I'm just worried it might end up in someone else's hands... You understand?"
How could he dare to get angry with Xu Shi?
"Haha, that's good."
Xu Shi smiled and replied, "I'll give you the information in a while and contact you then... By the way, there's something else I need to ask you."
"You said?"
"When my men come to you, give them half of the territory in District Six."
