At this moment:
These people immediately agreed with this decision!
After all:
The possibility of them seeking revenge on the Black Dragon Group themselves was almost zero, but not seeking revenge on the Black Dragon Group would violate their principles.
The principle of being out in the streets was loyalty.
At least on the surface, one had to show loyalty!
How could a subordinate who didn't avenge his boss ascend to a higher position with a clear conscience, and how would the brothers below view him?
Therefore, whether for their superficial display of loyalty or to show the brothers below, revenge was necessary.
What's more:
They didn't just need the support of their subordinates to ascend righteously; they also needed territory. Now that the Yaowu Group had been destroyed by the Black Dragon Group, and the Black Dragon Group was about to occupy this place, where would stray dogs like them find living space? Therefore, combining all these reasons, they thought reporting to the Police was the best method. Although it was a bit shameful for street thugs to report to the Police, currently only this method could both avenge their boss and allow them to ascend.
...
Soon.
They elected a group of people to go report to the Police...
Then they were dumbfounded...
They discovered that upon receiving their real-name reports, the Police not only failed to initiate an investigation, but instead detained them.
All of these people were arrested...
Even on that same day, the Police in the entire region mobilized on a large scale to arrest and blockade various business stalls and affiliated personnel under the Yaowu Group...
This instantly caused another massive earthquake...
Moreover, those who originally thought the Black Dragon Group might face accountability from the Police were also shocked by this scene. They knew no one could stop the Black Dragon Group's momentum of moving forward, and they knew the Yaowu Group completely lost any possibility of a resurgence...
...
The next day!
More people found out about the relationship between the Xu Family and the Black Dragon Group, and they successively prepared gifts to pay visits.
For a time, the Xu Family was bustling with noise and excitement!
...
Outskirts!
Seven or eight men hurriedly bolted out of the mountain forest. They were the remaining people from the factory who had plotted to report. Now they didn't dare to think about how to drive away the Black Dragon Group and ascend themselves; they only wanted to figure out how to run for their lives.
After all:
Those who went to report Black Dragon were all arrested...
In their view, those people were not arrested because they committed crimes themselves; it must have been the Black Dragon Group pulling strings. Coupled with the blockade of all the Yaowu Group's industries and all remaining personnel being added to the arrest list...
They felt like the sky had turned dark!
Thus, they fled overnight!
At this moment, as they looked up at the cloudless sky, they couldn't help but blurt out the exact same sentence:
"This sky... is simply too dark!"
...
Meanwhile.
The events happening in Lin Province quickly spread in all directions...
...
Lin Family Villa!
Elder Lin frowned upon hearing the butler's report: "You're saying the Black Dragon Group wiped out the Yaowu Group..."
Butler: "Yes! The news was passed back just like this. Moreover, according to reliable sources, there were eyewitnesses at the scene who saw many Black Dragon Personnel rush into Yaowu Manor and start a massacre..."
Elder Lin:...
He wasn't surprised by the destruction of the Yaowu Group. To the people below, they might still think the Yaowu Group was at the height of its power, but people at his level had already guessed that the Yaowu Group was finished.
Even:
The Yaowu Group itself must have known as well, but he couldn't understand how this matter could have been done by the Black Dragon Group? It had no reason to do it at all. The current situation in the North wasn't very good, and a storm was clearly brewing. At a time like this, it was too late to keep a low profile; how could they cause such a huge commotion? Wasn't this willingly walking into the firing line? Furthermore, the Black Dragon Group and the Yaowu Group had no grievances between them, so how could it suddenly launch an attack?
Expand territory?
Nonsense!
At their status, would they still need to resort to fighting and killing to expand territory? Wouldn't that be utterly foolish?
Besides, what era is this now?
Who still plays that fighting and killing game?
Isn't that just acting like a reckless fool!
Is Qin Jiang of the Black Dragon Group a reckless fool?
He is not!
If he were a reckless fool, he wouldn't have reached his current status, which makes this matter even more suspicious.
Elder Lin: "How is the Police reacting over there?"
Butler: "This is the most suspicious part! Not only did the Police over there fail to issue a notice or hold anyone accountable for this matter, but overnight they sealed off all the industries of the Yaowu Group, and arrested most of the remaining stragglers and deserters of the Yaowu Group. Only a tiny fraction of smart ones ran away beforehand... The Yaowu Group is completely finished..."
Elder Lin couldn't help but frown even tighter.
No!
Something is extremely, one hundred percent wrong!
Anyone could see that there was a problem with the reaction over there; otherwise, the Police wouldn't have reacted like this.
Butler: "Could the Black Dragon Group's influence really be so great that they can cover the sky with one hand even in a neighboring place?"
Elder Lin: "No! Even with heaven-reaching backgrounds, it's impossible to do that. The Nail Project Team is right in the North! When something like this happens, the Nail Project Team will definitely react. No background can stop the Nail Project Team; after all, it represents the will from above..."
"Unless..."
Butler: "Unless what?"
Elder Lin: "Unless both parties were cooperating from the beginning!"
Butler: "Master, are you saying the Black Dragon Group is cooperating with the Nail Project Team? How could that be? Would the Nail Project Team let him off? In terms of fame and status, he is no worse than us, and perhaps even a step higher..."
Although neither of them wanted to believe these things, currently in the three northern districts, the Black Dragon Group was larger than the Lin Group and the Yaowu Group, and its influence was also greater.
Logically speaking:
He should have been the Nail Project Team's biggest target. How could the Nail Project Team cooperate with him? When do hunters and prey ever cooperate? Isn't this purely seeking skin from a tiger?
Elder Lin: "It's not entirely impossible! You forgot that all businesses under the Black Dragon Group are completely legitimate. Most importantly, after the Shanghai incident, his public reputation completely reversed. Currently, only the three northern districts still circulate some special legends about him, while the legends circulating outside are just about his entrepreneurial experience... He's practically praised as a typical boss, a peerless good older brother who would risk his life for his brothers. It's entirely possible for the Nail Project Team to cooperate with him, perhaps they even promised him some benefits..."
Butler: "Qin Jiang is cooperating with the Nail Project Team, doesn't that mean the Nail Project Team's next target is us."
Elder Lin: "Most likely!"
Butler: "Then what should we do..."
Elder Lin: "What should we do? Play it by ear!" Although he hadn't expected the Nail Project Team to get mixed up with Qin Jiang, things had come to this, and he could only take it one step at a time.
Moreover, in his view, this might just be an opportunity...
Since Qin Jiang could cooperate!
Why couldn't he cooperate too?
Besides, he still had a heavyweight trump card in his hand; bringing out that trump card might just make cooperation possible.
