With the Hong clan supporting them from behind, Hao Qiang and the others were more relaxed in their actions than before. Moreover, as Mu Haotian's illness healed and he left the hospital, he gained a powerful assistant. However, this was only a small victory. Although Hao Qiang and the others had used all sorts of opportunistic methods to make Yuwen Clan suffer quite a few losses, Yuwen Clan was after all, one of the three big families in Demonic City. Wanting to shake its roots was not something that could be accomplished in a day or two.
After Hao Qiang and Hong Luo had reached an agreement, the military brought trouble to Hao Qiang very quickly.
"We want you to represent the military and negotiate with the Hong gang. We don't want you to take this opportunity to get a private person." Vice Commander Liang stood in front of Hao Qiang, looking down at him condescendingly while sitting upright on the sofa.
Hao Qiang raised his head and looked at the door of his villa. He didn't know where this man had come from, and he had clearly planned to renovate the villa to prevent any enemies from invading. However, how did this black-clothed fellow who suddenly appeared in front of him appear in front of him?
"I'm talking to you!" Seeing Hao Qiang's carefree appearance, Vice Commander Liang was enraged and shouted loudly.
Hao Qiang's attention was finally pulled back to the outside world by the sudden increase in his voice as he looked up at him.
"I'm listening." Hao Qiang said seriously.
Vice Commander-in-Chief Liang looked at him, giving him a great deal of face by exposing his lies.
"Give me an explanation." Deputy Liang said.
"Actually, this is truly a misunderstanding. I am not a scam. I am seriously working for the military." Hao Qiang replied in a reasonable manner, "What I did was a long-term plan."
Hearing Hao Qiang's obvious cover up, Vice Commander Liang raised his eyebrows in disbelief.
"Don't believe it." Hao Qiang braced himself and said. How could he really admit that he was doing something like that? It's not like he was intentionally seeking death.
Thus, Hao Qiang continued, "Look at this, the Hong Gang is developing like the sun at its peak, it can be said to be the most glorious moment in history. As such, how could such a gang subdue the military and he obediently accept it? So we have to take it slowly, we have to talk it over slowly, we have to be patient and try to get closer, like these, you see, although it looks like I'm the one who's making the most money, but who's making the most money? "Other than that Mu Haotian, isn't that the Hong Gang?"
"That Mu Haotian …" Deputy Liang looked at him and revealed a smile that was as familiar as the back of his hand.
However, this was not strange at all. Although the Hao family didn't have much fame outside, to the military, such an underworld family was something they had to monitor. Who knew when they would get into trouble? Therefore, towards this little secret that could not be considered a secret, they must have known about it before Hao Qiang himself.
Knowing that the other party was hinting at something, Hao Qiang braced himself and continued: "Although Mu Haotian and I are indeed close relatives, but we have never grown up together, and we don't have any sort of relationship foundation, so our current cooperation is also based on the principle of being profitable. So what he got out of it didn't have anything to do with me, did it. I have only the part that I deserve. "
Hearing Hao Qiang's words, Vice Commander Liang nodded his head.
Seeing that the other party's attitude was about to soften up, Hao Qiang continued, "So, I am doing this for the sake of the military. I will first tie us together with benefits, and then slowly melt his heart so that he will feel like he will have meat to eat with the military. In the end, he will be completely willing to follow the military's footsteps!"
As he finished speaking, Hao Qiang felt that he was wholeheartedly committed to the Board of War and was only bent on following them. He was almost moved to tears, but when he secretly lifted his eyes to look at the Vice Commander Liang who was still standing in front of him, he remained unmoved as he coldly stared at him.
"Cough, cough." Hao Qiang awkwardly coughed.
"Actually, your Board of War has long disliked the three families of Demonic City, right?" "If those three families were to join hands, they would be able to cover the sky with their hands. I am also trying to take the blame for your military."
Hearing this, Vice Commander Liang surprisingly nodded his head. The military had indeed paid attention to the three families of Demonic City for a long time. As historic merchants, they had their own operating system for the past hundred years, and in some areas, they even had the privilege of surpassing the government. Regarding such privileges, the old people of Military Department had long disliked them, but they just didn't have a chance to suppress them.
Seeing his expression, Hao Qiang knew that he had hit the nail on the head, so he added: "Now is a good opportunity, we can bring disaster upon the East and let the Hong clan fight against the three families and watch them fight. In the end, the military will definitely be the biggest winner! "If we miss this village now, we won't have this store."
Hao Qiang had braced himself to say all these. Otherwise, with just the Yuwen family, he wouldn't have the confidence to convince Deputy Liang. Although he said it very easily, if he really wanted to use the Hong Gang to deal with the three great families, let alone the power of the fisherman, he didn't know if he would still be able to leave behind a crabfoot when the time came! Furthermore, just him alone, how to make these four families fight was a problem.
"Sure." After hearing Hao Qiang's words, Vice Commander Liang finally spoke with absolute certainty.
Facing his sudden change in attitude, Hao Qiang was stunned.
"However, the military wants 30% of the shares of each of the three families." Deputy Liang said.
Hearing his words, Hao Qiang didn't know what to say.
Thirty percent! Thirty percent! Furthermore, it was 30% of the shares of each of the three families! What kind of concept was that? Was the military planning to take control of the business in Shanghai at any moment? Are you sure this isn't a problem?
Are you sure this is legitimate? Are you sure that doing this won't cause the entire Huaxia Empire to fall into a punitive war against the military?
And was he sure he hadn't said the numbers wrong?
"Are you sure that the military wants 30% of the shares?" Hao Qiang confirmed in disbelief.
Deputy Liang nodded noncommittally, "It is indeed thirty percent, but of course it is not for the military. It is for the country to own."
Hearing this, Hao Qiang heaved a sigh of relief. "Can I trouble you to explain yourself before you speak again?"
"If you agree, I will leave now. The military will not intervene no matter what you do. They will open the door for you if necessary." Deputy Liang said.
With regards to this, Hao Qiang naturally nodded without any hesitation.
What a joke. Only a fool wouldn't agree to his request. Compared to the money, public discovery was naturally more important! Furthermore, if he were to give away the shares to the country, there was nothing for him to object to. Think of it as contributing to the building of the country.
"Then let's make a deal. I will draw up a contract and you can come to the military to sign it yourself." Deputy Liang said.
Hao Qiang nodded.
"Then I'll be going. See you next time." Deputy Liang.
Hao Qiang nodded.
Vice Commander Liang turned around and walked towards the door. Hao Qiang looked at him and thought, just how did he get in?
Results... Vice Commander Liang simply opened the door and swaggered out.
Hao Qiang: "…" Doesn't it feel good to be mysterious at all?
Of course, Vice Commander Liang did not know what he was thinking. Before closing the door, he turned around and warmly reminded, "You should change the lock."
Hao Qiang looked at the broken lock, which could no longer be seen as a prototype, and nodded his head sadly.
With a final glance at the staircase, Vice Commander Liang waved his hand and disappeared into the night.
With his departure, Yin Ning walked down the stairs.
"Why aren't you sleeping this late?" Hao Qiang said.
Yin Ning shook her head, "I can't sleep."
"Annoyed?" Hao Qiang guessed.
Yin Ning shook her head, not replying, "The one just now was someone from the military, right?"
Hao Qiang nodded his head without hiding anything, "He came to talk to me about the matter of the Hong Gang."
"I heard you guys talking about the Three Great Families." Yin Ning asked in puzzlement.
Speaking of this, Hao Qiang felt a little discouraged. The three great families that he mentioned just now were only there to deal with Deputy Liang. However, in the end, they still brought trouble upon themselves. It seemed that this matter still needed to be properly planned.
Looking at Hao Qiang's dejected expression, Yin Ning seemed to understand what he was worrying about. However, there was nothing she could do. She could only look helplessly at Hao Qiang's dejected head, deep in thought.
"Let's not talk about this first." In the end, Hao Qiang waved his hand and said.
"How are you feeling?"
"What?" Yin Ning was stunned.
Speaking of which, Hao Qiang still felt a little awkward, so he prodded him, "I'm talking about your body … …" "Now that I have lost my superpower, I don't feel like there's anything out of the ordinary."
Looking at that obviously guilty expression, Yin Ning let out a smile as if a burden had been lifted from her shoulders, "Not bad." "Although I'm not as nimble as I used to be, I'm still an assassin with strict training. Without my Discipline, I won't be able to accomplish many things."
Looking at Yin Ning's expression, Hao Qiang knew that she was truly thinking this. However, he didn't feel relieved at all. Even though he had an extra ability in his body, he still felt that it wasn't his own, which was why he had never used it before.
As someone who had been with him for so long, she knew what he was thinking.
As a natural born Adept, losing her Discipline was indeed a very painful thing. If it was anyone else, Yin Ning would never let that person go. However, if it was Hao Qiang, Yin Ning didn't feel the slightest bit of pain.
