Hearing Qin Feng"s firm tone, Zhao Jun began to plan. Could this guy really have the ability to turn his life around? You never know. From the moment this guy came to the Free Man Bar, Zhao Jun had known he was different. First challenging Ji Dongchen in public, then fighting against the arson gang at the back door of the club and even hitting the Bar"s front hall manager. Zhao Jun had also just now received the news that Kun had been beaten up by him. The thing that made Zhao Jun not dare to underestimate him the most was that this guy displayed a cool and charisma that no ordinary waiter would have. He expressed his admiration for Xiao Jinhua despite knowing full-well that Zhao Jun himself was interested in her, brazenly challenged Zhao Jun, and now claimed to have "contained" Director Jia. All this showed one thing - Qin Feng was by no means ordinary. He appeared in Tianhe out of nowhere and tried to keep a low profile to fool everyone, but he was much more than a simple waiter. He certainly had some unknown agenda.
After careful consideration by the astute Zhao Jun, he still believed in Qin Feng, mostly because he had no other choice. If he did not trust the boy, he would be stuck in a fight on all sides. When the time came, the boy would fly away with Xiao Jinhua, leaving him to deal with the mess in Tianhe on his own.
" I just don"t know how to start. After all, Meng Zhaolin"s strength is greater than ever, while Ji Jiangshan has been acc.u.mulating wealth from his dirty business dealings for years. They"re both powerful enough to crush me. Even if I strike first, I have no chance of winning."
Zhao Jun was telling the truth. He was struggling to maintain his position. In fact, in terms of raw power, he was much weaker than the other two.
Even one-on-one, he would have a difficult time, let alone one-on-two.
"I know that, and I"m not asking you to take them down. You can"t do that even if you fight to the death. I only need you to intervene, to show your intentions, to let them know that Sister Flower and the Free Man Bar are under your protection, and turn their attention onto you, understand? Then, I will help you again. Otherwise, where is your personal credibility? Who among your men will be willing to work for you? When things went down, you hid farther away than anyone. Who would follow such a leader?" Qin Feng said.
"It"s true that it is on this basis that I have decided to give it a bold try. Think of me struggling for so many years. My status and power should be so much more than they are. Perhaps, I got too comfortable and allowed my glorious deeds in the underworld to be forgotten too soon," Zhao Jun sighed. "The sword that leaves the sheath shall be invincible. You can rest a.s.sured in that. I will manifest the strongest resolve and force them both to retreat!"
"I hope so."
Qin Feng hung up.
It was 11:30pm. He looked over to the window of Sister Flower"s office, with its dim lights. He knew that today"s experience was definitely a disaster for Sister Flower. Facing the trial of life and death was enough to shake anyone"s soul. Her trembling heart could not be settled for a long time.

Inside a certain red-walled villa in the third ring of the capital city, Gu Shaoyun, dressed in a light blue brocade robe, stepped down from the second floor. He turned on the record player, which had been preserved since the last century, next to the TV cabinet, and the sound quality was as clear as the sound of nature. Then, he sat on the luxury American sofa and crossed his legs, a cigar in his left hand and a gla.s.s of red wine in his right. The rich and mellow 30-year-old Lafite from Chile could not be sampled by just anyone.
Green Dragon stood in front of him, respectfully holding up a Zippo to help Gu Shaoyun light the cigar, and carefully reported the recent happenings in Tianhe City.
"What? You haven"t got the list yet?"
Gu Shaoyun was surprised, "What have been doing these last few days? With your skill, is stealing a little piece of paper so hard?"
Gu Shaoyun"s deep eyes showed a complex emotion for a moment. His old fox"s eyes were hard to read. In front of Gu Shaoyun, Green Dragon had always felt a kind of inexplicable suffocating feeling. He was very afraid, very nervous, afraid of making a mistake and s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g up his future.
"But it is in Qin Feng"s hands. You know Qin Feng"s abilities. I wanted to use his row with Meng Zhaolin, a local thug, to stir up a fight, and then use the distraction to get my hands on the real prize," explained Green Dragon. "I couldn"t get the list in the end. Chief, as you know, Qin Feng is very cunning. If I act rashly, I am afraid that he will see through my plans and then follow the trail of clues back to you... My personal safety doesn"t matter, but you are… "
Even if Gu Shaoyun had doubts about his loyalty, he could not find any evidence.
Everything was just speculation, but now, of the Golden Four, only Green Dragon could do this. So, from a certain perspective, Gu Shaoyun couldn"t control Green Dragon. The choice was in the hands of Green Dragon, unless Gu Shaoyun could find other help in the outside world. But in that case, things could spread out more widely. After all, this list was top secret. The fewer people in the world knew of it, the better. It involved too many people"s lives… and production lines worth hundreds of billions or even trillions of Yuan.
"Enough! My personal safety doesn"t matter! To tell you the truth, even if you do not get the list, Qin Feng will still die, because he crossed the line for a certain organization. Do you understand? That"s an untouchable minefield! This son of a b.i.t.c.h was only ordered to secretly investigate the Golden Triangle drug lord"s nest. If he had just finished the task and come back, that would have been perfect. Why did he have to steal the list, and get Xiao He killed and Green Snake missing-in-action? On the basis of this charge alone, I can easily put him in front of firing squad," Gu Shaoyun said.
"Sir, may I venture to ask, what is this organization you are talking about?"
Although Green Dragon had vaguely guessed the answer, he couldn"t believe that there would really be a traitor among the top generals in the military, who would collude with outsiders to poison the people of China.
Gu Shaoyun suddenly raised his brows, and then stood up, eyes like flaming torches, fiercely staring at Green Dragon, "You should not have asked. Be careful not to bring disaster down on yourself with that big mouth of yours."
"Yes, sir," Green Dragon responded with a dull voice.
"I will give you three more days. Be sure to get me that list. You must be cautious, and when necessary, just kill Qin Feng!!!"
Gu Shaoyun sighed, "He knows what he should not know, and he must pay the price."
He looked at Green Dragon with a complicated smile, "I hope you can be smarter. Do not see what you should not to see. Do not to take what you should not take. Otherwise, your fate will be the same as Qin Feng"s."
"Yes, sir!" Green Dragon responded loudly.
Just then, a quiet sound came from the staircase.
Gu Shaoyun"s ears quivered. He swiftly picked up the fruit knife on the tea table beside him, and threw it with force.
Boom!
The young beauty standing at the corner of the staircase died instantly, blood spattering all over the staircase.
Gu Shaoyun looked at the dead body in front of him and said with a cold voice, "Don"t listen to what you shouldn"t listen to."
