Wang Yangsheng fell silent. Yes, he was too old to exist, and he wasn't worried about his sons and grandsons. He was only worried about his old brothers. If he were gone, how could his son, in his condition, possibly help them?
Seeing that Wang Yangsheng had softened, Yan Wu pressed on and gave him one last promise, "I can guarantee that as long as I gain a foothold in Haishi, I will absolutely support you unconditionally."
Whether you want to start your own company or cooperate with us, we are open to both. What do you think?
Wang Yangsheng was completely moved by this offer.
In recent years, their lives have become increasingly difficult. As society has improved, no one needs thug organizations like theirs anymore.
The port land belongs to the state and is not something they can touch.
So, these two boys really hit the nail on the head; he really needs a different way out right now.
He knew very well that if he didn't agree to these two people's conditions now, he would hardly find such a good opportunity again in the future.
Finally, Wang Yangsheng sighed, "Alright! This old man who's about to die will accompany you young people in your passion one more time. You tell me, what are you planning to do?"
Yan Wu and Yun Hao were both delighted. Although they had anticipated Wang Yangsheng's reaction, they still did not expect him to agree so readily.
Yan Wu's expression turned serious. "Don't worry, neither of us are people who break our promises. If I were capable of doing something like that, not only would my family not allow it, but they would also not allow it."
"Looks like you're more powerful than I thought. Fine, I'm on your side now, whatever you say goes."
We uneducated people can't compare to young people like you, so we don't know what to do at the beginning. Just tell me what we need to do now.
Yan Wu looked at him with a serious expression. "First of all, I have a question for you."
You know about the recent crackdown on a secret port, right?
"I know, that's a gambling den run by water rats. Their family has been running that den for generations, doing shady business, but because someone above them helped cover it up, it was only discovered today."
"He deserved it. That kid thought he wouldn't get into trouble, and he's done a lot of heinous things over the years. He's finally getting his comeuppance," Wang Yangsheng said with a sigh.
"That's what I wanted to say. Do you know who this 'water rat' has been cooperating with all these years?" Yan Wu stared at him intently and asked in a deep voice.
Wang Yangsheng frowned. "Others certainly don't know, but I've lived for so many years, so I naturally know a little bit. This kid seems to have connections with the Japanese."
Yun Hao was startled. "You knew?"
“How could I not know? I’ve been living here in Haishi for sixty or seventy years. No one knows better than me what this place was like before the founding of the People’s Republic of China and what it was like after the founding of the People’s Republic of China.”
"Then how come you..." Yun Hao swallowed the rest of his words.
Wang Yangsheng scoffed, "You want to ask me why I didn't report it, right? Let me tell you, actually, quite a few people knew about this more than ten years ago."
Before the Japanese army withdrew, the Japanese army frequently used Shuihaozi's place. After the Japanese army withdrew, Shuihaozi's family took over.
At the time, some people suspected them and reported them, but all of those who reported them never returned. Do you understand what that means?
Yan Wu's expression darkened slightly. "Of course I know, but I thought these people should have been eliminated in the previous incident..."
Wang Yangsheng sneered, "That's why I don't like people like you who have come from afar."
"They're far from the emperor's reach and know nothing. Let me tell you, there's a big fish hiding in Wang Liang's department..."
