At this moment.
Thinking of how his subordinates fared when facing Black Dragon Personnel, Butler Wang Si couldn't help saying, "Old Master! Is it really necessary for us to gamble with our lives? Why don't we just retreat! The Nail Project Team hasn't found any evidence of our fatal crimes. With what we have in our hands, we should be able to leave this place and continue living in unbridled freedom."
"Why bother gambling with our lives here?"
"It's not worth it!"
How should he put it! Not only did his subordinates lack backbone, but he himself had grown old and lost the daring he once had. Moreover, facing Qin Jiang, whose rise was as legendary as a myth, for some reason, he felt completely unsure of himself, especially since the other man's rise was far too legendary, with every opponent becoming a stepping stone for him.
Could the Lin Group really win?
He couldn't be sure!
He didn't dare to gamble!
...
Swish!
Old Master Lin looked at Butler Wang Si in utter surprise. "You're scared!"
Butler Wang Si replied, "It's not that I'm scared. I just feel it's unnecessary."
Old Master Lin asked, "Why is it unnecessary?"
Butler Wang Si answered, "If we leave this place, we can still live very lavishly, and with what we have in our hands, we can create glory once again!"
Old Master Lin countered, "Leave? We rose to power here! We put down our roots here! Can we really leave?"
"Can I leave? Can our brothers under us really leave with us? What about their wives and children?"
"This place is our root! Unless it's a last resort and there's no other way, we can't leave. But now there is a way..."
"The Black Dragon Group is the way!"
"As long as we drag them into the water and splash all the dirty water onto them, we can experience a rebirth."
"By then, not only will the Lin Group not have to leave this place, but we can even counter-occupy the industries of the Black Dragon Group."
Butler Wang Si asked, "Can the Nail Project Team really cooperate with us?"
Old Master Lin said, "Why not? All they want to do is crack major cases. Whether it's the Lin Group or the Black Dragon Group, they are both major cases. Do you think they will care who the case actually belongs to by then? They won't!"
He spoke with absolute confidence!
In fact, his plan was very simple:
It was to bring Qin Jiang and the others to his crime factory and directly finish off Qin Jiang there! Then, pin all the crimes in the factory onto Qin Jiang and the Black Dragon Group.
Of course, it sounded simple, but doing it was not easy:
First:
It was to get Qin Jiang to go to that factory willingly, and not let him bring too many people.
This was originally very difficult. After all, how could someone like Qin Jiang go to a factory without bringing people? Such a person had to bring hundreds of Bodyguards with him at all times!
But what Qin Jiang said during his visit today let Old Master Lin know that he could pull it off.
Although he didn't know why Qin Jiang was doing this, he could sense what Qin Jiang was willing to sacrifice to find evidence.
This... was enough!
...
Second: How to shift all the blame for that factory onto Qin Jiang!
Old Master Lin had already prepared for this long in advance. He had bought off a middle-ranking leader under the Black Dragon Group ahead of time, using the other party's family to keep him from talking nonsense. Then, in that middle-ranking leader's name, he made him the owner of the factory. That way, the factory was nominally the Black Dragon Group's, or at least held by an employee under the Black Dragon Group.
Also...
Some of the people who had been forced over there: Old Master Lin had also had people instill new thoughts into them—that they were kidnapped by Black Dragon Personnel, and the personnel working in that factory all claimed to be Black Dragon Personnel.
In this way, inside and out, that crime factory belonged to the Black Dragon Group, providing the prerequisite for shifting the blame.
...
Of course, these things had many flaws!
After all, the tricks he played were too rushed; everything had only started to be prepared in the past year or so.
It couldn't withstand careful scrutiny!
But why would anyone scrutinize it closely!
As long as Qin Jiang died in that factory, the Lin Group would mobilize their connections to shift all the blame onto the Black Dragon Group. The Lin Group could even package themselves as the good guys who discovered the Black Dragon Group's crime factory, and then clashed with the Black Dragon Group while trying to rescue the victimized people, accidentally harming Qin Jiang. As for Qin Jiang's death! He would have a few pre-arranged people disguised as victims kill him, creating the appearance that the victims had gone mad and killed Qin Jiang to take revenge.
Then!
The Lin Group would directly launch a large-scale propaganda campaign through public opinion.
By then:
The Black Dragon Group would be like mud falling into their pants—even if it wasn't shit, it was still shit!
Who would believe that the Black Dragon Group was innocent?
After all, their reputation wasn't very good to begin with!
Furthermore, after he died, the Black Dragon Group behind him would become a sheet of loose sand. The network of connections they had gathered would naturally be severed, and no one would step up to stand up for them anymore. Even if the Nail Project Team guessed there was something fishy going on by then, so what? Overturn the case? Not to mention how much public pressure they would face, just think about how long it would take to overturn the case, and once it was overturned, could they really find the Lin Group's crime evidence?
Not necessarily!
By then, the Black Dragon Group's crimes would be overturned!
The Lin Group's crime evidence couldn't be found!
All that would be left for the Nail Project Team was trouble.
Therefore, he believed that the Nail Project Team would definitely take the easy way out and directly use the Black Dragon Group to take the fall and complete their mission. By then, the Lin Group would intentionally reveal some minor flaws to hand over to the other party. In short: everyone wins and everyone is happy!
That was it!
That was Old Master Lin's plan: it wasn't particularly ingenious, but it calculated human nature to the absolute limit.
It played dirty to the core!
...
Butler Wang Si: "But..."
Old Master Lin: "But what..."
Butler Wang Si: "I'm just feeling a bit uneasy..."
Old Master Lin: "I have an eighty percent chance of winning!"
He spoke with absolute certainty. In his deduction, the only possibility of failure for his plan was one: that he failed to kill Qin Jiang in that crime factory. If Qin Jiang didn't die, then he was finished...
By then, if Qin Jiang mobilized the network of connections behind him, this matter would be very easy to investigate clearly.
The crime factory would become his fatal Achilles' heel!
The Lin Group would be done for!
Yet he didn't believe he couldn't kill Qin Jiang!
Old Master Lin: "By then, I will allow him to bring at most ten people into the crime factory. Today, I will intercept his reinforcements in advance. His reinforcements will take at least an hour to arrive!"
"An hour! In a closed factory, with ample preparation, if we still can't kill him..."
"We might as well quit!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Butler Wang Si stopped hesitating. Just as Old Master Lin said, having slaughtered his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood over the years, if he didn't dare to take a gamble when there was an eighty percent chance of success, what was the point of even trying to make it in this world:
"Let's fight it out! Either he dies or I do!"
Old Master Lin:
"No! Only he dies! I will not die!!!"
