The port city was brightly lit at night, and there weren't many people on the streets at around 10 p.m., with only a few cars passing by occasionally.
Qi Yan was the last to arrive; Lu Zhou, Xiao Lin, and Luca were already waiting downstairs at some point.
When the congratulatory message came down, Qi Yan began to complain.
"Next time we can discuss things, can we do it during the day? I'm still working in the fields, and getting stuck halfway through could easily lead to trouble."
Xiao Lin couldn't help but tease, "A-Ci is doing this for your own good, be careful with your kidneys."
He Ci didn't joke around with them like before. His expression was serious. This was the real He Ci. No one knew when, but He Ci had taken off his mask of pretense.
"Thank you for making this trip, brothers. Some plans need to be moved up. Take a look at this and tell me your thoughts?"
He Ci distributed several documents to everyone, and everyone's expressions varied after reading them.
Qi Yan spoke first, "Aci, this is too risky. Our chances of winning are less than 20%."
Lu Zhou chimed in, "Yeah! That's too risky. Did something happen that made you so eager to change your plans?"
Qi Yan then looked at Luca and Xiao Lin, "What do you think?"
Luca threw the file on the table. "I'm the gun in your hand. I'll shoot wherever you point."
Xiao Lin also felt this was too risky. "May I ask what the reason was that you moved your plans forward?"
Everyone was waiting for He Ci's explanation! Xiao Lin was asking the same question they wanted to know.
"I want to get the gang back on track quickly; I've had enough of this fighting and killing."
Everyone knew that He Ci wasn't telling the truth. Since he didn't want to talk about it, no one asked him anymore. Even if the chances of winning were zero, they would still stand by He Ci's side.
He Ci never imagined that his decision would later lead to the deaths of his parents.
The next day, Su Ning got up very early. She looked around and confirmed that He Ci had not returned last night, and she felt a little disappointed.
After quickly finishing breakfast, Su Ning prepared to go to work. When she got downstairs, she didn't see He Ci's car or A Rang, so she decided to walk to the flower shop.
Across from them, Su Tian, Sun Man, and Wang Meng had just come down, followed by Qiao Zhenzhen.
Su Ning saw them turn to leave, but Su Tian called out to her from behind.
"Ning'er! Shall we talk?"
Su Ning stopped and turned around. "Your choice of Qiao Zhenzhen means we can never go back. I will never forgive an executioner."
Qiao Zhenzhen suddenly looked pitiful. "Ning'er! I know I was wrong before, and now I'm getting my comeuppance. If you don't like me, I'll leave. I hope you won't take it out on Tian Tian and the others."
Su Ning thought Qiao Zhenzhen was so fake. How could she have been so stupid to not have noticed how good she was at acting?
"Sweetie, Mengmeng, Manman, you should go to work right away! I'm leaving soon. I can't let my presence affect the friendship between you sisters."
Su Tian frowned slightly. Over the past few days, she had also noticed that Qiao Zhenzhen had changed a lot. What she said sounded reasonable at first glance, but upon closer inspection, one could find that it contained a provocative element.
"Zhenzhen, your injuries are almost healed. If there are no major problems, go back as soon as possible!"
Wang Meng and Sun Man exchanged a glance but neither of them spoke. Su Tian was their leader, and everything she said and made was based on her own reasoning.
Qiao Zhenzhen's tears fell freely, and it was hard to tell how much of it was real and how much was fake. She smiled and nodded.
"Okay, I guarantee you won't see me when you come back tonight."
