In the corner, a masked man sat at a table.
He seemed preoccupied with something, sipping his drink one mouthful after another.
If he were to take off his mask, many people would probably recognize that this drunken guy is Qin Fufeng, the young master of the Qin family!
Qin Fufeng had already heard the news that Mu Qing would appear in the black market. He had convinced himself many times to let go and not appear.
But in the end, he still inexplicably appeared here.
Qin Fufeng didn't even know how he got there. It was hard for him to describe the feeling. He knew it was all in vain, but he still wanted to try.
He could only try to numb himself with alcohol, but the bitter taste made his heart ache.
Just as Qin Fufeng was drinking heavily, a figure came up and slowly sat down next to him.
"Young Master Qin, are you having a drink?"
Qiao Suinian appeared next to Qin Fufeng with a smile. Guan Yan had planted spies everywhere in the black market. The moment Qin Fufeng stepped into the black market, the news reached Qiao Suinian.
"What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me? You even told me your name was Ye Difeng, and that you wouldn't try to steal Miss Mu Qing from me!"
Qin Fufeng's eyes reddened, and he clenched the wine glass in his hand until it shattered.
"Qiao Suinian! You're ruthless! You've been hiding your true colors better than anyone else!"
"Oh dear, what's there to worry about in a man not having a wife? Besides, Miss Mu Qing and I are just playing around. Once I'm done with her, you'll still have a chance to win her over."
"What did you say?!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Fufeng stood up abruptly, his eyes burning with fury.
"Miss Mu Qing is about to go on stage. Are you trying to ruin her first performance in Kyoto by attacking me here?" Qiao Suinian looked at Qin Fufeng with a half-smile.
Qin Fufeng hesitated for a moment, then slowly relaxed his clenched fist. He sat down with a thud, glaring angrily at Qiao Suinian.
"Qiao Suinian, you son of a bitch! What exactly do you want?!"
"I mainly wanted to discuss cooperation with Young Master Qin, after all, we're old friends." Qiao Suinian picked up his wine and poured himself a glass. "I wonder if Young Master Qin is interested in bringing down the Qiao family?"
"Destroy the Qiao family? The Qiao family is no weaker than the Qin family. Even if I become the head of the Qin family, I wouldn't dare say I can destroy the Qiao family. What makes you think you can cooperate with me? Are you trying to trick me into being your pawn?" Qin Fufeng glared coldly at Qiao Suinian.
"What are you saying! What are you saying! Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Qiao Suinian said indignantly. "Do you think I'm the kind of person you'd use as a pawn? We're good brothers!"
"You are!" Qin Fufeng's expression was anything but kind.
"Just tell me if you're interested or not. If you bring down the Qiao family, your position as the head of the Qin family will be secure," Qiao Suinian said.
"Tell me what you're planning to do first!" When it came to serious matters, Qin Fufeng's expression became more serious. As the young master of the Qin family, he was naturally not a fool.
He was naturally aware of the feud between Qiao Suinian and the Qiao family, and considering the terrifying strength Qiao Suinian had displayed in Jinling City, there might actually be some truth to it.
"It's simple, just rush over and kill the entire Qiao family."
Qin Fufeng looked at Qiao Suinian as if she were a fool.
"Do you think you're some kind of gangster? You dare to openly and directly attack the Qiao family? Let's not even talk about whether you can take on the entire Qiao family by yourself. Even if you could, the higher-ups would just have the Four Symbols Legion wipe you out. No matter how strong you are, can you fight the Four Symbols Legion alone?"
Those in power have only one requirement for the situation in Kyoto right now: stability.
Instead of focusing on internal stability before external threats, the main focus now is on dealing with foreign tribes. This is why Kyoto does not allow factions to fight to the death, which effectively weakens Kyoto's power.
"Just kidding." Qiao Suinian shrugged. "I've investigated. The Qiao family's influence is deeply rooted in the business, political, and military spheres. To eliminate the Qiao family, we need to start from these three areas."
"Commerce is the main source of income for the Qiao family. I can use the black market to target the Qiao family's related industries and cut off their economic resources. This will force the Qiao family to use their connections in the political arena, and that's when you will be needed to make a move."
"I'm not good at playing the political game, so you can handle it. I only have one request: that the higher-ups not interfere. I'll handle the rest myself."
Qiao Suinian's voice was calm, as if he didn't intend to destroy the Qiao family, but simply to pour boiling water on an anthill.
His only concern regarding the Qiao family is the official power of the Great Xia Kingdom. He is not so arrogant as to think he can be an enemy of a country.
As long as the Qin family takes action and prevents official intervention, he is confident in dealing with the Qiao family!
"Is that really true? All I need to do is stop the official forces from the Qiao family?" Qin Fufeng narrowed his eyes. "And what will I get in return?"
“Once the Qiao family is destroyed, all of their resources will be divided equally among us!” Qiao Suinian said, staring into Qin Fufeng’s eyes.
Qin Fufeng's breathing became somewhat rapid. As one of the four major families in the capital, the Qiao family must possess resources that would rival those of a city.
Once the Qiao family is destroyed, and the Qin family swallows up half of the Qiao family's resources, then the Qin family will become the most powerful force in the capital!
At that time, the four great families in Kyoto will no longer be on equal footing, but the Qin family will be the only dominant family!
If Qiao Suinian said that all of the Qiao family's resources belonged to him, he would not believe it and would think there was something fishy going on. In his opinion, the suggestion of splitting them equally was the choice that a normal person would make.
