Three days later, the entire gangster community in X Port was in chaos. Everyone knew that He Ci's fate was unknown, and it was estimated that he was likely in grave danger.
The Qinghai gang lost a third of their territory in a short time, and they showed no signs of stopping.
Luca was extremely anxious and at his wits' end. At this time, his father, Lu Bi, began to have an idea. Now that there was no leader, their Lu family had the best opportunity to take over.
"Aka, bring all your men back. The He family has fallen; we must rise up on our own from now on."
Luca couldn't believe his father had said that. "Don't even think about it. I won't agree to it."
Lu Bi thought his son was stupid. "Aka, back then, our Lu family, Qin family, and Yu family checked and balanced each other, and in the end, the He family benefited."
“After He Ci took power, he immediately wiped out the Yu family. If we don’t seize power now, we’ll have no chance when He Ci comes back.”
Luca thought his father was too naive. Having followed He Ci for so many years, Luca knew better than anyone how much strength he had.
"I won't stop you if you want to die, but don't involve the Lu family. We can't afford to play this game, and you certainly can't afford to lose."
On the other hand, He Jin was also in a real bind. Usually, her father and younger brother would handle these matters, but now that the gang was in complete chaos, she felt increasingly powerless.
Someone in the family has already taken the lead in electing a new head of the family, which He Jin isn't afraid of. What she's most afraid of is that the company her father built will be taken away by those people.
The shareholders' meeting is in the afternoon, and they will elect new directors. He Jin only has 10% of the shares, which is not convincing at all.
For the past three days, Su Ning has locked herself in her room, unaware that chaos has broken out outside. He Jin is also exhausted, both physically and mentally, and she doesn't know if she can hold on.
When Bai Yi arrived, he saw Su Ning lost in thought. He went over but didn't know how to comfort her. Su Ning looked so pitiful.
Su Ning sat on the bed without saying a word. Bai Yi wanted her to cheer up, because as long as He Ci's body hadn't been found, it meant he was still alive.
"Su Ning, please stop. The He family needs you now. We don't know how much longer A Jin can hold on. Do you want A Ci's hard work to be destroyed like this?"
Su Ning's eyes were filled with tears. "Ayi, I'm just a weak woman. I can't handle those things."
“The child is gone. When Ci-ge comes back, he will definitely blame me for not protecting him. My parents-in-law died and were injured while protecting me. I am just a burden to them.”
Bai Yi walked over and grabbed Su Ning's shoulders with both hands, his eyes full of heartache.
"Su Ning! Listen to me, you're not alone. Cheer up, I'll help you."
Looking at Bai Yi's serious expression, Su Ning felt all the sadness, self-blame, and heartbreak she had felt over the past few days well up inside her.
"Ayi, don't force me, I really can't do it."
Bai Yi wiped away Su Ning's tears. "Su Ning, look at me. You can do it. From now on, I will be your strong support."
At the police station, Gao Yaoguang slammed his fist on the table in anger. "Bai Yi, are you crazy? I don't agree!"
Bai Yi placed his identification documents, gun, and resignation letter in front of Gao Yaoguang, his tone leaving no room for argument.
"Whether I resign or not is my business! Whether you agree or not, I'm quitting this police job."
Gao Yaoguang didn't understand why someone would resign when they were doing so well.
“Bai Yi, your father and I have been friends for decades. He was a good policeman who sacrificed himself for the country.”
"Like father, like son. You are someone I have personally trained and have a bright future ahead of you. I will be retiring at the end of the year, so this position is yours."
Becoming a policeman has been Bai Yi's dream since childhood. He wants to be like his father. Now he has to give up his dream, and it may be a one-way trip.
