Chapter 31 "Good Brothers" Must Be Taught a Lesson Together
"Yesterday, the president of XX Financial was struck in the left eye by a scalpel that flew from an unknown direction as he disembarked from the Suzuki Group's Salibates. He died instantly. No suspicious persons were found at the scene, and the police are currently investigating..."
Bai Yexiu picked up the remote and turned off the TV.
It's not uncommon for his work to be featured on television; he's used to it, and sometimes he even finds it a bit noisy.
Moreover, he has important business to attend to today.
The old man who bought information from him at the Izu bar that day—he found out that this man was a yakuza executive named "Mo Se"—and coincidentally, "Mo Se" was also on his blacklist.
Bai Yexiu felt as if the heavens were helping him.
"Ahem," Bai Yexiu answered the call from the old man, speaking in Fulian's voice, "Hello, this is Fulian."
"Ah, it's you..." The person on the other end sounded very surprised: "Did you really find out which gang was behind this?"
Bai Yexiu smiled. "Of course, that's on the condition that I pay you upon delivery. But I have a discount to offer, I wonder if you'd like it?"
discount?
The old man opposite him was stunned. This was the first time he had ever encountered someone offering a discount when selling information through chains.
"May I hear what kind of discount it is?" the old man asked tentatively.
“I’ve found their gang’s headquarters. Isn’t this a perfect opportunity for revenge for you, Mo Se?” Bai Yexiu leaned back on the sofa with an enigmatic smile on his face.
He spent the entire morning searching for Anqing's stronghold.
The old man was stunned again. He hadn't expected the chain binding to be so efficient. In just a few days, they had already found out which gang the person impersonating him belonged to, and what gang's headquarters it was.
It seems that Fu Lian is a natural-born intelligence broker. He is not only good at negotiating business, but also shrewd and has an exceptionally high efficiency in gathering intelligence.
The old man silently admired the chains in his heart.
"You mean... you can sell me both pieces of information?"
Hearing the old man's words, Bai Yexiu smiled and said, "Two pieces of information, the second one is half price."
"I'll buy it!" The old man became excited, as if afraid that someone else would buy the two pieces of information first.
Great, the fish has taken the bait.
"Okay, the transaction will take place at Adachi Alley in Beika Town at 7 PM tonight." Bai Yexiu hung up the phone with a smile.
……
It's evening, 7 PM.
Adachi-dori is a very desolate and small street in Beika-cho. There is only one office building and a few shops on this street, but most of the shops are closed.
There are no residents here, and it is very quiet at night. Because of this characteristic, the street has become a gathering place for many gangs and thugs.
The headquarters of Anqing that Bai Yexiu discovered was naturally that office building.
Bai Yexiu, wearing a chained vest, sat on a bench by the roadside, waiting for his check.
The Dark Green and Ink Color gangs are among the top ten most powerful gangs recently. Moreover, Dark Green is extremely rebellious and has a large and powerful force, so Bai Yexiu cannot possibly take them on alone.
Meanwhile, the Mo Se gang also disobeyed the organization's control and had been thinking about going solo recently. Its numbers were about the same as An Qing's, and its strength was slightly stronger than An Qing's. However, Mo Se's financial resources have been damaged, so let's assume that the two gangs are equal in strength for now.
Bai Yexiu always prioritizes convenience and taking shortcuts in his actions. He wouldn't be foolish enough to take on an entire gang by himself; firstly, he has no subordinates, and secondly, he couldn't possibly defeat a group of people alone.
By the light of the streetlights, Bai Yexiu could see a large group of people walking towards him from afar.
Bai Yexiu estimated that there were probably one or two hundred people. If he were to go and deal with them all by himself, he would probably be exhausted and there would be huge risks involved.
The leader of that group was the old man he had spoken to on the phone today—a cadre in dark robes.
"Mr. Chains." The old man walked up to him and pulled out two checks: "I wonder... is this enough for you?"
Bai Yexiu stood up, took the check, glanced at the number, and did some mental math.
"Of course it's enough!" Bai Yexiu put the check back in his pocket and pointed in the direction of the office building: "See that? It's Anqing. Their headquarters is in that office building."
"Dark Green?" The old man's expression changed, and anger flashed across his face: "I've tolerated them for a long time."
Bai Yexiu watched the large group of people walk towards the office building and followed them at a distance.
As far as he knew, Anqing and Mo Se had worked together many years ago, but later they had a falling out due to some irreconcilable conflicts, which led to them becoming enemies.
This suited him even better.
"Good brothers" should be disciplined together, even if they were only brothers in the past.
Bai Yexiu leaned against the side of the office building, and after confirming that no one was around, he tore off his disguise. He was about to use his position within the organization to make some inquiries (and gain some influence).
Bai Yexiu climbed into the office building through a window on the side.
The office building was clearly deserted, as people seemed to have all gathered on the first floor, where a loud argument was taking place, suggesting that two parties were arguing.
If he wasn't mistaken, he remembered that there seemed to be beams on the ceiling of the first floor.
Yes, it's rare to see ceiling beams in modern buildings these days, but this office building is quite old and clearly a vintage building, so it's not surprising that it has beams.
When Bai Yexiu reached the first floor, he found that the two sides were arguing fiercely, and the two leaders were almost shouting at each other.
Taking advantage of the fact that both sides' attention was diverted, the agile Bai Yexiu quickly climbed onto the roof beam. No one present noticed him.
The roof beam was just right to cover Bai Yexiu's body, but it didn't prevent him from watching the show; it was practically the best vantage point.
His plan has been a complete success.
Since he wouldn't have an advantage if he took on either gang alone, it would be better to let the two evenly matched gangs fight to the death, then step in and take them down together, reaping the benefits in one fell swoop. Wouldn't that be better?
Moreover, I can also make some money on the side, so this deal is a win-win situation.
Bai Yexiu nodded to himself and continued watching the show.
Both sides became agitated, and some even clashed with the other side.
Finally, the arguing ended, and the tearing each other apart began.
In Bai Yexiu's ears, screams, roars, and gunshots were incessant. He wasn't worried at all that the police would come here, because this street was already close to the suburbs, and patrol officers rarely came here. Besides, a lone patrol officer wouldn't dare to rush into this office building crammed with two or three hundred people, because it was simply too terrifying.
Most people wouldn't dare to get involved in a fight between two gangs.
After watching for a while, Bai Yexiu inexplicably felt a bit bored, so he simply picked up his digital camera and started taking pictures everywhere. He wanted to take some photos of these two extremely stupid gangsters.
Because we won't be able to take pictures later—
Soon it will be Bai Yexiu's turn to give him a good talking-to, he doesn't have the time to take pictures.
He has to seriously crack down on the gangs that use his name to make money off him.
