Before heading south, Lin Yu had already sent his brothers from the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion to investigate for a long time.
Several powerful financial tycoons in Shanghai must be targeted and dealt with decisively. The main goal is to curb their arrogance.
But as the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.
How could a newcomer like him, without his own team in the south, achieve great things?
However, Lin Yu had read Sun Tzu's Art of War and Chairman Mao's works, and knew what it meant to besiege a point and attack reinforcements, or to encircle the city from the countryside!
To win this battle, we must unite all forces that can be united, and the Green Gang is clearly a very suitable choice.
Moreover, the Green Gang is not just the Green Gang itself; with over a century of operation, the number of forces and ports that rely on it is numerous.
Although most of these people are not respectable, sometimes it is precisely these lower-middle and lower-class individuals who can play a crucial role.
At this time, the Coaster convoy had arrived at a residential area of bungalows.
This is Ningcheng, a small town on the outskirts of Nanjing.
The surrounding area is all rural.
Lin Yu never expected that a powerful figure in the Green Gang would live in such a desolate place.
However, when he led everyone out of the car and into the alley, he immediately dismissed that idea.
There's more to this alley than meets the eye!
The outer perimeter of this alleyway resembles a Bagua (Eight Trigrams) formation, with crisscrossing paths resembling a maze. Those unfamiliar with the area can easily get lost.
Zhu Yeqing led Lin Yu and the others inside, winding around, his expression somewhat embarrassed. "This is an alleyway built by our Green Gang a hundred years ago. After all, our Green Gang is a Jianghu sect, and we have offended some people. We use this Bagua formation to provide some protection! This place was abandoned for a while before, but now my grandfather has renovated it and used it as a sanatorium!"
"In addition, there is a mine dozens of miles away from here. My grandfather has been mining there recently and plans to start a mining business, so living here makes it more convenient to direct operations!" Zhu Yeqing explained.
Lin Yu nodded. "This Bagua formation does have the effect of gathering and storing energy, but one must understand feng shui and be proficient in formations. Otherwise, living in a place of death and desolation will have a great impact on one's health and fortune!"
Zhu Yeqing's beautiful eyes lit up. "Governor Lin, do you mean that my grandfather's illness is very likely related to this Bagua formation?"
The specific cause of her grandfather's illness had never been found, but after hearing Lin Yu's words, she immediately connected her grandfather's illness with the Bagua formation.
Lin Yu shook his head helplessly, "It's hard to say right now. We'll talk about the specifics when we meet your grandfather!"
Zhu Yeqing nodded and continued leading the group inside.
Before long, a large courtyard with vermilion gates appeared ahead.
Two stone lions, baring their teeth and claws, crouched on either side of the gate, with several large seal characters above them: Du Mansion!
Standing beneath the gate, Lin Yu couldn't help but glance at the stone lion a few more times, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Governor Lin, this is the main room of our Du family. Please follow me!"
As Zhu Yeqing was speaking, she was about to lead Lin Yu and the others inside when a girl who looked somewhat like Zhu Yeqing but had a spoiled and willful expression suddenly came out with her entourage, blocking their way.
"Du Xiaoyue, what are you doing back here?"
Zhu Yeqing frowned and said coldly, "Uncle Huai sent me a message saying that Grandpa is seriously ill, so of course I came back to see Grandpa! Du Xiaoman, get out of my way!"
Du Xiaoman is the daughter of Zhu Yeqing's second uncle. The two have been at odds since childhood, with this cousin always trying to take everything from him. Because his parents died early, his grandfather favored her more, which only fueled Du Xiaoman's hatred. She would cause trouble for him every few days and even sabotage his business.
Du Xiaoman sneered, "You mean Uncle Huai? Heh, he's already been arrested by my dad!"
"What? You arrested Uncle Huai? Why did you arrest him?" Zhu Yeqing asked, looking completely bewildered.
Du Xiaoman said sarcastically, "Don't you know we arrested him? We don't usually come to this compound. Only you and Uncle Huai serve Grandpa all day long. Don't you know what you and Uncle Huai have done?"
Zhu Yeqing couldn't help but frown. "What exactly do you mean?"
Du Xiaoman sneered, "I'm not going to beat around the bush with you anymore. My dad invited Dr. Xu from Baozhitang in Hangzhou. Dr. Xu diagnosed that Grandpa's serious illness was due to chronic poisoning, and the only people who could have poisoned him were you and Uncle Huai!"
"Bamboo Leaf Green, Grandpa treated you so well, even entrusting you with the family business, and you still want to harm him? You are utterly heartless! Guards, seize this slut and deal with her according to the gang rules!"
At Du Xiaoman's command, a group of bodyguards immediately rushed forward.
"presumptuous!!"
Just then, Feng Jiu stepped forward, her eyes gleaming like an eagle's and a wolf's, exuding an aura of dominance.
Bang!
The entire group of servants were sent flying backward, coughing up blood.
Feng Jiu was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but frown, muttering to herself, "Are the people of the Green Gang all this weak? I didn't even use my strength."
Lin Yu couldn't help but frown, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, Du Xiaoman became anxious and couldn't help but widen her eyes, pointing at Zhu Yeqing and cursing, "You, Du Xiaoyue, you actually brought outsiders into the house! What are you trying to do? Are you trying to seize power while Grandpa is seriously ill? You traitor, you're rebelling! According to the gang rules, you deserve three cuts and six holes!"
Zhu Yeqing coldly said, "Who's rebelling? I brought a medical team and a renowned doctor with me this time, all to treat Grandpa's illness. You're blocking me from entering; I think you're the one rebelling!"
