At this moment: Qin Jiang and Elder Lin looked at each other, both seeing an inexplicable meaning in each other's eyes.
Elder Lin: "Why are you telling me these things..."
Qin Jiang: "Because I want to cooperate with you."
Elder Lin: "Reason!"
Qin Jiang: "The Nail Project Team destroyed Yaowu Group in my name, and now my reputation is known to everyone."
"Do you think they are truly sincere about cooperating with me? Do you think I can get any good after you are wiped out?"
"There are too many legends about Black Dragon Group outside right now, and me! I certainly don't want to be discarded like a worn-out hound once the hares are killed!"
"You and I both understand the principle that when the lips are gone, the teeth feel cold!"
"But it's also impossible not to cooperate with them!"
"Similarly, you should also be very clear that they will never let go unless they grab some of your criminal evidence."
"Since that's the case, you and I cooperate: you take out a little bit of your criminal evidence and give it to me, the non-fatal kind! I will hand these criminals over to the Nail Project Team, so that I complete my mission! The Nail Project Team also finds your fault, and although Lin Group will suffer some heavy blows, it can still be considered a cicada shedding its shell to escape!"
"Then you use some connections to get away!"
"The best of both worlds!"
Elder Lin: "The best of both worlds!"
Qin Jiang: "Right!"
Elder Lin: "I really didn't expect someone like you to act as a double agent."
Qin Jiang: "It's all to stay alive!"
Elder Lin: "To stay alive? Yeah! It's all to stay alive! But I need to consider this matter."
Qin Jiang: "Alright! It's understandable that when you get older, you can't figure many things out right away! I'll wait for your news!"
"But the time can't be too long..."
"Three days! If I don't receive your news within three days, then just pretend I never came today!"
Elder Lin: "..."
He was extremely dissatisfied with Qin Jiang's every retort, but under the current circumstances, he really couldn't do anything to Qin Jiang. Qin Jiang had stepped into his Lin Group manor today in full view of the public, and any mishap happening to the other party would be blamed on him. Not to mention the thousands of Black Dragon Personnel waiting outside, even the Nail Project Team might use this as a handle. By then, Lin Group would only become even more passive!
Elder Lin could only grit his teeth and say: "Alright! I'll give you an answer in three days!"
Qin Jiang: "Then I'm leaving..." He didn't drag his feet either, directly standing up and leaving with Si Jiu. Elder Lin neither asked him to stay nor saw him off.
Before leaving, Si Jiu deliberately glanced at the door behind the reception room, his gaze flashing with a cold, sinister smile.
The dozens of elite thugs of Lin Group behind the reception room only felt a chill all over their bodies, as if they were being stared at by some peerless fierce beast, and as if they would face mortal danger in the next moment.
"Gulp!"
"Gulp!"
Quite a few people subconsciously swallowed their saliva!
...
Si Jiu just glanced at it and followed Qin Jiang to leave...
...
Outside!
Only a little over twenty minutes had passed since Qin Jiang stepped into the Lin Group manor, and the atmosphere outside had already become extremely solemn. The people of Black Dragon Group were already prepared to make a move, and the people of Lin Group also saw that Black Dragon Group was ready to strike, making them even more incomparably on guard.
At this moment:
The battle seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.
Right at this atmosphere oppressed to the limit.
They saw Qin Jiang and Si Jiu walking out of the Lin Group manor. Although no one accompanied them, the two of them walked as if they were strolling in their own back garden—so domineering and so deterrent!
Si Jiu didn't even need to curse that good dogs don't block the way!
Swoosh...
The crowd from Lin Group immediately cleared a path!
Qin Jiang and Si Jiu walked out of the Lin Group manor, and then got into the car surrounded by the crowd of Black Dragon Personnel:
Roar...
Roar...
The car team turned around and left this place with a roar...
...
Whew... Whew...
Seeing the Black Dragon Car Team leave, the crowd from Lin Group couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, feeling that their backs had just been soaked...
This scene:
Made Butler Wang Si, who came out to check the situation, wear a complex expression.
This was the Lin Group manor after all!
This place was their territory after all!
Under this natural geographical advantage, his own people still didn't have enough confidence when facing the people of Black Dragon Group.
This could reveal many problems...
First: Lin Group had been peaceful for too many years, resulting in a gap in generations. The older generation who could fight and dared to fight and struggle had all retired, and the new generation hadn't experienced too many battles, naturally lacking so much courage.
Of course, this wasn't just the problem of their Lin Group alone; it was a common ailment of all social forces in their old age.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be that saying:
"Each new generation replaces the old!"
"Waves behind push waves ahead, and the newer waves drive the older ones onto the beach!"
Once upon a time, they were the newer waves: daring to fight and struggle, carving out a brand new territory. But with the passage of time, they became the older waves, losing the indomitable momentum of the newer waves!
Most importantly:
They had now run into Black Dragon Group, whose prestige was too strong, making them a legendary newer wave! A newer wave capable of fighting against Lin Group at its peak, and even beating Lin Group to retreat from Songjiang two years ago. Under such circumstances, it was completely normal for the people of Lin Group to lack confidence!
"Sigh..." Butler Wang Si sighed and instructed the others: "You guys keep watch and don't let anyone in."
Then he returned to the villa once more:
"Master! He's gone..."
Elder Lin: "Mm!"
Butler Wang Si: "What he said just now was fake, right?"
Elder Lin: "Of course it's fake!"
Butler Wang Si: "Since it's fake, what's the significance of him coming to say that? Does he think we couldn't guess that his cooperation is fake? Logically speaking, he shouldn't be so foolish."
Elder Lin: "Of course he isn't that foolish. He knows we can guess it. The reason he came to tell me these things is none other than to let us know that he is ready for a quick battle and a quick decision! He's only giving us three days! He wants to shorten the time to the absolute minimum and not give us too much time to react, so that we cannot make more adequate preparations."
Butler Wang Si: "Then should we buy time?"
Elder Lin: "We can't drag it out! If we try to buy time, he might really pack up and go back."
Butler Wang Si: "No way!"
Elder Lin: "We can't gamble! Isn't he the key person for whether Lin Group can survive this crisis? Where else can he find a heavyweight scapegoat when he goes back? Just as he said, the Nail Project Team definitely won't leave without substantial gains, and small fights won't do! There needs to be a heavyweight to take the rap, and this rap is either Black Dragon Group or Lin Group!"
"So right now, we must never let Black Dragon Group escape the vortex, otherwise the unlucky one can only be Lin Group."
Butler Wang Si: "Since he dared to come, is he fully prepared?"
Lin Group: "He is definitely well prepared! From the people he brought, it can be seen that he is well prepared, but why is he forcing us to make a quick decision? It's because he doesn't have absolute certainty."
"At this time, we are gambling!"
"Let's see whose scheme is deeper, who is more fully prepared, and whoever loses will be sacrificed! Although I don't know why he clearly has the right not to step into the vortex yet still actively stepped in, since he dares to, why shouldn't I!"
"Qin Jiang... This old man is going to bet his life with him!"
