Lu Jing sneered, "We were partners before, but not from today onwards. Partnering with a fool like you will only bring me shame."
Cao Da's face was ashen, while Lu Jing's breathing was noticeably labored with anger.
Ultimately, Cao Da still needed Lu Jing's help, so he took the initiative to speak up.
“Mr. Lu, I may have been a bit harsh, but there’s no need to stop cooperating, is there?”
Lu Jing sneered without any politeness, his words dripping with sarcasm, "Because of your suspicion, you've missed the best opportunity to attack. Did you think my grandson wouldn't make preparations?"
"He's not on Slave Island now, so even if he made preparations, what outcome could he change? Besides, as long as you provide me with more heavy weapons, taking Slave Island and taking his life is only a matter of time."
Lu Jing laughed loudly, "Greed knows no bounds, Cao Da, your failure is inevitable, we are no longer partners."
Cao Da's face contorted in pain as Lu Jing mocked him.
The other party hung up the phone, and he smashed it to pieces.
One of the henchmen heard the commotion and came in from outside, looking very nervous. "Boss, what happened?"
"Gather the brothers, attack Ghost Walk tonight! I refuse to believe we can't take down a leaderless organization."
The younger brother hesitated to speak, but ultimately shut his mouth because of Cao Da's gloomy expression.
...
As night fell, even Lin Yusheng noticed that something was wrong with the day.
Her fever came and went, and she was in a daze, not knowing how much time had passed.
The battle raged in places she couldn't see.
The people of Puya Village surrounded Guixing and attacked from the outside, attempting to seize Guixing's headquarters.
The Ghost Walk has a large number of weapons, but not many people.
After Lu Zhengye's Ghost Gang became the overlord of the Island of the Dead, he dispersed the Ghost Gang members to various places to carry out security and management.
Because he strictly controlled the use of weapons on the island of the Dead Slave, no one could cause any trouble without Lu Jing's intervention.
Cao Da wanted to catch Gui Xing off guard.
But to their surprise, even with their ammunition almost exhausted, they still failed to capture the city.
With both sides suffering heavy casualties, ammunition became the key to victory.
Finally, Cao Da had no choice but to retreat with his brothers.
Cao Da threw a huge tantrum as soon as he returned to Puya Village.
The younger brother said with a mournful face, "Boss, what do we do? Now we've made enemies with the Ghost Gang again, and they won't let us off the hook."
"Now even Master Lu doesn't care about us anymore, we're doomed."
"It's all that stinky woman's fault, boss. Let's just kill her and continue to torture her on her way to the underworld."
Cao Da clenched his fists tightly, his face contorted with grotesque injuries.
He said coldly, "Bring her here."

At the Ghost Strike headquarters, dozens of people were cleaning up the mess.
They also suffered heavy casualties, and everyone wore a sorrowful expression.
The leader stood on the sixth floor, surveying the entire situation. Only after his subordinates returned and reported that the crisis had been resolved did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Lu Zhengye was still on the ship when he received the call.
The call connected, and the other party immediately reported.
"Boss, the crisis is over. We have 89 brothers who died in battle and 136 wounded, 30 of whom are still in critical condition."
Lu Zhengye said coldly, "Sparing no effort to save her."
"yes."
The other party continued to report, "We found the hideout of Puyazhuang, which is in the underground casino, but they are very vigilant. Our people cannot enter, nor can they find any trace of the woman you mentioned."
Lu Zhengye's eyes were deep and dark, his heart felt as if it had been stabbed and pulled out by a knife, and he was in unbearable pain.
"Continue the investigation, but don't alert them."
"yes."
After hanging up the phone, the subordinate was still a little doubtful. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that his boss's voice was trembling.
Wei Qing walked in from the deck, and his expression was not good either.
"Boss, the wind and waves outside are too strong, we can't speed it up."
Lu Zhengye's breathing became erratic for a moment, but in the end he just closed his eyes, pinched the bridge of his nose with his index finger and thumb, and said, "I know, go out. Leave as soon as the storm stops."
"yes."
Wei Qing sighed after leaving the house; his worst fears had come true.
Zhou Qi approached him with the laptop and asked, "Brother Lu, are you still unhappy?"
Wei Qing curled her fingers and delivered a critical hit to him, "I call him Boss, and you call him Brother Lu, isn't that a generational difference?"
Zhou Qi covered his head, looking resentful. He made a face at Wei Qing and said, "I'll call him Brother Lu."
After saying that, he scurried away.
"Don't run around here, go back to your room, or a gust of wind will blow you away."

Lin Yusheng was woken up from her sleep by someone dragging her.
She was roughly thrown in front of Cao Da.
The two men who dragged her there threw her down and left.
Now only she and Cao Da are left.
Lin Yusheng was terrified. She looked up at Cao Da, and the next second her chin was almost crushed by him.
She had to kneel on the ground with difficulty to support herself and minimize her suffering.
Cao Da's face, filled with hatred and gritted teeth, loomed large in front of Lin Yusheng. She had already prepared herself mentally over the past few days and was numb to it, so she no longer felt afraid.
At worst, I'll just die.
Lin Yusheng smiled indifferently.
Cao Da was so angry his chest felt like it was going to explode. He grabbed her hair and forced her to look up. "You bitch, you dare to lie to me."
"Believe me, it's only because you're stupid." Lin Yusheng's lips curled into a perfectly timed mocking smile.
As an actress, she knows which expressions are most likely to provoke the other person's anger.
No matter what she had been through, she was still the eldest daughter of the Lin family, and her pride and self-respect would not allow her to submit to such a beast.
If he insists on humiliating her, she will choose to end her life.
But whenever she thought about dying, her heart would clench, and her nose would sting with tears.
She knew she was unwilling to accept being separated from Lu Zhengye in such an ambiguous way.
"Good, what a fine young lady of the Lin family, what a fine woman of Lu Zhengye, she has backbone, I like her." Cao Da's features were ferocious, his face terrifying.
Lin Yusheng continued to laugh, "You like me, but I don't like you. My ex-boyfriend was Lu Zhengye. A man who has conquered a tiger will never submit to a stinking rat in the gutter."
"Hahaha, so Miss Lin is determined to die."
Lin Yusheng met his eyes calmly yet stubbornly, and slowly said, "I would rather die than submit."
"Hahaha, what a fine example of 'preferring death to surrender,' what a fine example of 'a rat in the gutter.' You probably don't know how Lu Zhengye survived in the past. If we're going to compare, he wasn't even a rat in the gutter back then."
"Perfect timing, I have some videos here, and I would like to invite Miss Lin to watch them with me."
Cao Da smiled wickedly.
Seeing Cao Da's excited expression, Lin Yusheng instinctively felt he was no good and turned her head away.
