Ning Zhiheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard You Laoliu's words. Yue Sheng, a well-known figure in Shanghai and known as the underground emperor, actually wanted to see him.
He glanced sideways at You Laoliu and chuckled, "Laoliu, it seems money can be a powerful motivator. Your boss has his eye on our meager wealth!"
Ning Zhiheng only needed to think for a moment to know what was going on. Ning Zhiheng was a very influential backbone in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, but he was not well-known outside. With hundreds of thousands of Nationalist troops guarding Shanghai, who would pay attention to the existence of a mere major?
It must be because of this batch of supplies that too many hungry wolves were eyeing him. You Laoliu finally couldn't keep up. Among these eyers, there was probably his big boss Yue Sheng. After all, this was a huge fortune, and no one could resist the temptation!
Ning Zhiheng remained silent, pondering for a while. To be honest, he held these gang members in utter contempt. If anyone wanted to deal with him, Ning Zhiheng wouldn't hesitate to kill them!
Blindly giving in will only make people think you're an easy target, someone who'll take a bite whenever they see an opportunity. In the end, more and more people will want a piece of the pie, making it even harder to resist, and things will only get worse.
Moreover, Ning Zhiheng has a strong personality and would never allow himself to be blackmailed. He now has a group of people under his command, all of whom are well-trained professional agents. He himself is a top-notch action expert. Not to mention that he is now the deputy director of the Shanghai Military Intelligence Station and has the reputation of the Baoding faction. He can transfer and replenish his forces at any time. It can be said that he is not afraid of these gang members at all!
However, Yue Sheng, the number one tycoon in Shanghai, was an exception. This man had connections everywhere and was actually sworn brothers with his superior, the section chief. Their relationship was extremely deep. Even the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Special Operations Team was jointly established and formed by Yue Sheng and the section chief.
The gang members in the special operations team were selected by Yue Sheng from the Green Gang. They were able-bodied young men who could fight and kill. They contributed money and effort, and worked tirelessly to establish the Jiangsu-Zhejiang special operations team. Even the thirty trucks that Ning Zhiheng now uses to transport supplies were donated by Yue Sheng at the beginning of the team's formation.
Ning Zhiheng naturally dared not take such a person lightly. If he really fought and broke off relations, he would definitely not gain any advantage. In the end, he would have to be ruthless and get rid of Yue Sheng. The consequences of that would be unbearable for him.
However, Yue Sheng was not qualified to just snatch the meat from his mouth. Ning Zhiheng was not incapable of getting rid of Yue Sheng, but he was afraid of the unpredictable consequences. If the Chief blamed him, he would have a hard time explaining himself.
But if Yue Sheng really makes exorbitant demands and insists on seizing this windfall, then Ning Zhiheng will have no choice but to take drastic measures to eliminate him.
You Laoliu's smile grew increasingly awkward. Ning Zhiheng's words were direct, but they were indeed true. During this period, You Laoliu had sold off a large quantity of valuable goods, earning considerable profits. Of course, he also gave his master Yue Sheng a gift, but Yue Sheng didn't care for that gift and wanted to take the business directly.
This was unprecedented. Given Yue Sheng's character, he would never normally do such a thing, but this evening he actually summoned You Laoliu and immediately demanded that You Laoliu reveal the source of the goods. Faced with the oppressive power of Boss Yue Sheng, You Laoliu had no choice but to confess Ning Zhiheng.
He may not fear anyone, but he dares not disobey his master Yue Sheng in the slightest. Everything he has comes from Yue Sheng. With just one word from Yue Sheng, he can be reduced to his original form and thrown back to the countryside of Pudong to farm, or he may not even have that chance.
"Captain, Mr. Yue wants to talk to you. In fact, with him stepping in, those guys who have been hiding in the shadows with their eyes bloodshot won't dare to cause any more trouble. Don't you think so?" Old Liu You was afraid that he wouldn't be able to persuade Ning Zhiheng and wouldn't be able to explain to Yue Sheng when he got back, so he quickly tried to persuade him.
Ning Zhiheng snorted coldly, cursing inwardly, "If it weren't for Yue Sheng's close relationship with the section chief, I would have eliminated you and those bastards along with you. You really think you're someone important."
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, pondered for a while, but still dared not actually harm Yue Sheng. Since he could not eliminate him, he could only try to talk to him. So he finally nodded and agreed, "Alright, I will meet this prominent figure from Shanghai and see what he really means!"
The next morning, we arrived at a large mansion in the French Concession. It was a very large detached villa that looked ordinary on the outside, but once inside, we discovered that the quality of the building materials, the fineness of the workmanship, and the exquisite decorations all exuded an air of high-end luxury.
Ning Zhiheng was sitting under a parasol in the middle of the garden, with tea and delicate pastries laid out on a white round table.
He sipped his tea and waited quietly for the long-renowned Green Gang boss.
Soon, the hall door opened, and a thin man of about fifty years old strode out.
He quickly approached Ning Zhiheng, who also stood up and greeted him with a cupped-hand salute.
"Mr. Yue, I've heard so much about you. I'm sorry for being late in paying my respects!" Ning Zhiheng said with a smile.
"Not at all! Station Master Ning's presence is an honor to my humble abode!" This once-powerful leader of the Green Gang was surprisingly gentle in appearance, with a warm smile that made him seem approachable and natural. He didn't resemble a gang leader at all, but rather a refined and scholarly teacher.
His use of "Station Chief Ning" immediately made Ning Zhiheng's eyes narrow.
