At this moment.
Qin Jiang stepped onto the ice step by step, the creaking sound of the ice bearing his weight coming from beneath his feet.
Bai Weiguo:...
What the hell do you mean by "walking on thin ice all your life"?
Can your legendary status even be counted in this sense? Have you ever encountered any difficulties? Haven't you just been making others walk on thin ice instead?
And you're asking if you can make it to the other side?
Nonsense!
Even though the ice is making creaking sounds right now, it is the end of December. While nobody can guarantee a car could drive across this ice, a person walking on it will definitely not fall through.
Can you walk to the other side?
As long as you don't turn back, you will definitely be able to walk to the other side!
Of course, Bai Weiguo also understood the meaning behind Qin Jiang's words: he was asking if he could survive this crisis.
Can he?
Mostly yes!
He himself, along with the entirety of Songjiang and the North, supported the Black Dragon Group, and the Nail Project Team's intention to cooperate with Qin Jiang meant that the prerequisite conditions to overcome this crisis were met. As long as the cooperation could be completed, the future would definitely be smooth sailing. However, to say there was not a single bit of danger would be pure nonsense: the Lin Group was not an easy entity to deal with. If the Black Dragon Group intended to find criminal evidence against the Lin Group, then Qin Jiang would very likely be putting himself in danger.
Coupled with the fact that the Lin Group already had a grudge against Qin Jiang, the danger was doubled! Anything was possible!
Whether Qin Jiang could walk to the other side... would depend on his fortune!
...
At this moment.
Zhang Chi and the others waiting on the shore were dumbfounded at first when they saw their Brother Jiang walking onto the ice, and then Zhang Chi shouted: "Leave a group of people to guard the cars, everyone else follow me!"
He immediately led his men quickly onto the ice to catch up with their Brother Jiang.
...
Bai Weiguo watched as Qin Jiang led the group of Black Dragon Personnel across the ice toward the opposite bank, his expression complex: "I believe your legendary life will not end here! By then, the North will usher in complete light!"
A moment later!
He took out his phone and made a call:
"He has agreed."
"You guys over there should make the plan!"
After hanging up the phone.
Bai Weiguo fished for another half an hour, and after finding that he couldn't catch a thing, he picked up his fish basket and headed straight for the vegetable market.
...
"Cough, cough..." Qin Jiang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of Black Dragon, overlooking the river surface he had just walked across, his eyes flashing.
Si Jiu handed over a cup of ginger cola and said with extreme worry and anger: "Brother Jiang, hurry up and drink this to warm up! Your body is already afraid of the cold, how could you walk across the outdoor river surface like that? What are those brats downstairs good for? You're already coughing, I'm going to have to find them and spar..."
As he spoke, he intended to go out and settle accounts with Zhang Chi and the others.
Swoosh! Qin Jiang waved his hand to stop Si Jiu: "It has nothing to do with them! If I want to walk across, no one dares to stop me!"
Zhu Zheng asked: "Brother Jiang! What did Bai Weiguo say to you? Is it about the cooperation with the Nail Project Team?"
Qin Jiang replied: "Two things. First, regarding the cooperation with the Nail Project Team: they intend for us to help them look for evidence against the Lin Group."
Zhu Zheng said: "This isn't going to be easy! The Lin Group has been rooted in Qing Province for many years with intricate and complex connections. It is extremely difficult for us to find criminal evidence against them there, and since the Nail Project Team chose to cooperate with us, they must be in a huge rush with a time limit."
Qin Jiang: "For sure! They want us to feign cooperation with the Lin Group under that guise to extract criminal evidence."
Zhu Zheng: "Cooperate with the Lin Group? Old Man Lin is not a simple existence! With age comes wisdom! The destruction of the Yaowu Group must have made him guess that we are connected to the Nail Project Team."
"Going to cooperate with the Lin Group at a time like this, the other party will definitely be on guard, and it will be very hard to find criminal evidence."
"Brother Jiang! Did you agree?"
Qin Jiang: "I agreed!"
Zhu Zheng was puzzled: "Why? Even if we don't agree, the Nail Project Team can't do anything to the Black Dragon Group either. Why take the risk, and moreover, it requires you to personally take the risk!"
Qin Jiang: "Consider it putting another layer of protective clothing on the Black Dragon Group!"
Of course, there was still a sentence in his heart:
"Consider it atonement..."
That's right! It was atonement!
Atonement for his sins from his previous life!
Seeing Qin Jiang be so certain, Zhu Zheng didn't say anything more, but instead directly began planning: "Facing the cunning fox that is Old Man Lin, we must formulate a foolproof strategy."
"They are going under the guise of cooperating with him, and he surely knows the situation. While we want to find criminal evidence against him, he might just want to use this opportunity to trap us. We must strictly guard against it and not capsize in the gutter."
Qin Jiang: "Indeed! When we go to cooperate with him, he will certainly know that we are undercover agents sent by the Nail Project Team. Likewise, we also know that he has guessed we are undercover! If I'm not mistaken, he definitely wants to use us to clear his own name while trapping us along the way. We will just go along with his act..."
"When it reaches the level of the Black Dragon Group and the Lin Group, conspiracies are no longer important. What matters is simply who has more trump cards, whose luck is better, and who emerges victorious depends on each other's abilities!"
Zhu Zheng: "Alright! I'll go make preparations!"
Qin Jiang: "Yes, make foolproof preparations, especially positioning equipment. No matter how much it costs, we must buy the most advanced ones, preferably the kind that can guard against signal jammers."
Zhu Zheng: "I understand!"
At this moment.
Qin Jiang looked at the river outside and was already deducing in his heart the various dangers after clashing with the Lin Group.
Although he wouldn't go alone!
Although he had the Nail Project Team behind him!
But once an emergency happened on the opponent's territory coupled with losing his location contact, it would be a case of heaven not answering his calls. Therefore, he had to ensure he could contact the outside world at any time, and even if he couldn't, he would let his subordinates know his location at the first possible moment. But were advanced communication devices really useful?
Not necessarily!
Right now, communication devices haven't developed as well as jamming devices. Sometimes no signal just means no signal!
How could one always have a signal?!
Suddenly.
A dark shadow flashed past his eyes—it was a bird!
Qin Jiang's gaze suddenly lit up:
"I have it..."
Zhu Zheng: "What do you have?"
Qin Jiang whispered a few words in his ear, and Zhu Zheng's eyes lit up: "Alright! I'll send someone to look for it right now... I guarantee I'll find the best ones..."
...
After Zhu Zheng arranged all sorts of matters.
Zhu Zheng: "Brother Jiang! What is the second matter?"
Qin Jiang: "The higher-ups plan to let us take over a piece of land belonging to the Yaowu Group in Gandhi and do business there."
Zhu Zheng: "Gandhi! Do the higher-ups plan to have us check and balance Nest Gate, or act as an advance party?"
Qin Jiang: "Yes!"
Zhu Zheng: "This is a good thing! If we open a Black Dragon branch in Gandhi, we can have one more path in the future."
Qin Jiang: "I refused!"
Zhu Zheng: "Why?"
Qin Jiang: "Gandhi is not a good place, and I don't want the brothers underneath to risk danger!"
Zhu Zheng: "Brother Jiang... so righteous!"
