"Why do you cooperate with the Thunder Gang?" Qin Luoshuang asked him.

"For money," Lin Wen replied nonchalantly.

Qin Luoshuang's expression turned cold. "Don't you know what they do? Don't you know how they operate?"

"I know, their deeds are so dark that I almost went blind. If it weren't for the money, I would have killed them all on the spot," Lin Wen said with a smile.

Seeing Lin Wen's calm demeanor, Qin Luoshuang felt a bone-chilling coldness, as if all warmth had disappeared from her heart. It was like the feeling of the world collapsing when she discovered her father's true face that night. It was a wound that could never be healed.

She thought it had healed, but now she realized that it had always been there, never disappearing.

The Thunder Gang, a gang that trafficked in human beings and drugs, was the greatest evil in the world. Her father controlled countless such gangs, and now he had also gone down this path. Was this retribution?

"Who is she?" Fang Weiwei asked curiously.

"Qin Luoshuang, my counselor," Lin Wen smiled.

"Not anymore," Qin Luoshuang said softly. "If I have the chance, I will repay you for what you've done for me. But now, I have to go."

She turned around.

"Wait," Qin Luoshuang clenched the gun in her clothes, but the expected development of tearing off the mask did not happen.

"You have a small perspective, Phoenix Nest. Your intelligence has not reached the point where you can instantly deduce the whole truth, so it's normal for you to misunderstand," Qin Luoshuang stopped in her tracks.

"I know that saying more at this time is a misunderstanding. But I sacrificed so much for you, and you just left lightly with a few words. Isn't that a bit too much?"

"What do you want?" Qin Luoshuang said softly. She suddenly felt a great sadness, even wanting to give up resistance.

"Follow me. As my counselor, let's handle the aftermath of this matter together. Even if we're even, if you still insist on leaving later, I won't stop you," Lin Wen said with a smile. This was the genius of his negotiating ability, which would not lead to so many dog-blood incidents of pulling and tugging and greatly improved his efficiency.

"Along the way, you should observe, think, and understand carefully so that you can grasp a bit of my vast wisdom."Lin Wen picked up the phone in the private room and dialed the number of the finance department of the county government.

"Hello, is Old Xie there?"

"It's me, Lin Wen."

"Yeah, that's right. Yeah, it's this account. It's anonymous, and the password is 110911120999119. The verification answer is a red sickle."

"What black money and white money? If it can be used for disaster victims, it's good money! You better get me every penny, if there's one penny less, I'll demote you to an ordinary employee! And bring Old Lei back! You'll work under him every day!"

After more than ten minutes on the phone, Old Xie finally got to work.

Lin Wen sneered.

"What a poor ability."

He then called Fang Dashan.

"You immediately organize all the remaining soldiers in the garrison and wait six kilometers west of Mochi River Village within an hour."

Fang Dashan was much more efficient, and he finished with just one sentence.

Support us at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

"Let's go."

Lin Wen smiled happily.

"I still have half of this pork bun left to eat."

Thirteen off-road vehicles with headlights on were speeding on the dark and rugged mountain road.

Duyanlong sat in the middle of the off-road vehicle, chatting and laughing with his men. The foul language and rude laughter echoed far in the silent night.

"Boss, we're really making a fortune this time!"

"I never thought there would be such a decent official."

"Damn it! He's not an official, he's our brother!"

"Yeah, brother. Let's have a drink for Brother Lin."

The wine spilled all over the car, but the gangsters didn't care. Only the driver smelled of alcohol.

Half drunk, a little brother suddenly said, "Boss, if we have his handle, can't we make him listen to us no matter what we say in the future?"

"Yeah." Another little brother slapped his thigh. "If he doesn't listen, we'll just send the video to the governor's office, and he'll be chopped by the governor immediately."

Duyanlong heavily hit his head. "You idiot! My face is in that video too. Do you want me to become an enemy of the empire?"

"Why?" Another little brother asked, "Is this official's relationship so strong?"

Duyanlong sneered. "You bunch of idiots, even if I tell you, you won't understand. I warn you, keep your mouths shut when you go back, and don't leak any information. Otherwise, I'll skin him alive."The subordinates in this car were all the trusted men of the one-eyed dragon, and they were responsible for all the key tasks. Other subordinates were not qualified to participate.

"Yes, boss."

"And, has the missing Ding Wei been found?"

"Not yet, he might have run away."

"Then let him disappear completely. I remember he seems to have a woman in the stronghold. When you go back, you can deal with her."

"Yes!"

At this moment, there was a louder thud coming from the trunk, louder than before.

The one-eyed dragon's face darkened, and he shouted, "Make this bastard quiet down. When we get back, I'll let him taste the pain of skinning, eye gouging, and bone breaking."

The sheriff's car arrived at the designated location in just 45 minutes, a valley six kilometers west of Mohe Village, surrounded by continuous mountains on both sides. In the dark night, it seemed like a giant demon was lying in the darkness.

After getting out of the car, Lin Wen said, "You can stay here."

"Fang Weiwei, you stay with Qin Luoshuang. Later, when Fang Dashan arrives, tell him that seeing her is like seeing me, and all actions should follow her command."

"Qin Luoshuang, when Fang Dashan arrives, let him bring his troops and surround this place."

"The area might be a bit large, and Fang Dashan may have less than 600 people. How to encircle them and not let a single person escape depends on your ability."

After speaking, Lin Wen walked alone into the mountains, not looking back even as the terrifying darkness swallowed his figure.

Only three people were left at the scene - Fang Weiwei, Qin Luoshuang, and the driver of the car.

There was no moon tonight, not even a hint of starlight.

The boundless darkness enveloped them, as if an unknown colossal creature was pressing down on them in the dark. Only the faint light from the car resisted the darkness, illuminating their small area.

Fang Weiwei was a bit scared. The driver was a man with a big beard, so she moved closer to Qin Luoshuang, "Sister Qin..."

Qin Luoshuang stopped her approach with an icy stare.

Suddenly, a strange bird call sounded in the darkness. The distant sound echoed far away in the open space and reflected back from the mountains, like the wail of a ghost.

Fang Weiwei was so frightened that she hugged Qin Luoshuang tightly.
