Unknown Club.
A man woke up, nudging the woman sleeping beside him gently, and opened the television. As soon as both saw the news, their eyes widened and sleepiness flew away.
It was Lin Fan and the woman was the same one he slept with before meeting with Ling Qingyu. She was the leader of one of the four main gangs in Province N.
Lin Fan's pupils constricted at the fierce fight and inquired the woman through his eyes.
"It's not mine." The woman shook her head, dubious about the chaotic events.
What happened? The couple just indulged themselves and the sky changed. Why didn't her subordinates inform her about this important news?
If her subordinates heard her blame, they would have no place to cry for innocence. The leader had admonished them once for disturbing the couple's sweet time.
And no one dared afterward. Since the leader announced no disturbance, they just followed orders. Poor times, even following orders could get you blamed and become a nuisance in your superior's eyes.
Lin Fan adjusted herself and stretched his limps. He stood up naked yet confident in his display of bodies. Lan Xi blushed as she remembered last night's passionate activities.
Crack!
"Eyes up here." Lin Fan snapped his fingers and warned her amused.
Lan Xi felt shame rising but she controlled herself and licked the corner of her lips slowly as her eyes moved up and down. Soon, the news drew their attention as they watched drone footage of the firefight.
The two magnet-like attractions dissipated when concerning serious cases. Lan Xi said. "I think it's not going to be peaceful."
"I would rather say, there'll be a bloodbath. Do you have any news or forewarning?" Lin Fan inquired about her gang's intelligence, prompting Lan Xi to think for a while.
Lan Xi was known as a Red Rose, full of beauty and thorns. Among the underground forces, especially the four main gangs, her group was known for adept intelligence and connection.
Even though the combat power was incomparable, no one dared to underestimate her group. It wasn't without reason for her Vermillion gang to rank high.
Despite the ranking system being more like an agreement between gangs, it displayed some truths. Of course, being the weakest in combat, and as a female leader, Lan Xi was suppressed on various fronts.
The leaders of the other 3 major gangs—Dragon, Tiger, and Wolf—lusted after her body and temperament, and tried to seek cooperation with her. In addition, they envied her group intelligence ability.
"My Rose Queen knows everything." Lin Fan praised and he was genuine because he understood those working underground were easily swayed by sweet candies by the officials.
Everyone wanted to turn from black to white again. But how many succeeded without repercussion?
Lan Xi's heart sped up, hearing Lin Fan's praise. It was different when she heard it from her man. "Alright, who's your queen? I bet those Tiger gangs should suffer a lot now. Should we fight for more territory?"
Lan Xi already had a picture of which gangs were involved without her subordinates' investigation, displaying her resourcefulness and talent.
And her choice to expand her territory was based on the fact that the opposition lost their strength. But Lin Fan shook his head. He could see more than Lan Xi because his experience was incomparable.
"You better lay low these days. I'm sure, this is just the beginning. Warn your subordinates not to indulge themselves."
Hearing this, Lan Xi wiped away the teasing and answered: "You're right. Now that I think about it, I felt bad."
"These are just my guess. Let me investigate first." Lin Fan shrugged his shoulder. Both of them quickly finished their bath and exited the room. Lan Xi prepared make-up for herself, why Lin Fan made a call to his subordinates overseas to investigate.
The result was quickly reported via phone and details were written on the message they sent. Lin Fan hung up the call and read the messages one by one, studying the cause of today's chaos.
Putting the phone down, Lin Fan dressed himself simply while savoring Lan Xi's beauty as she put on her gown. "I've got the news and it's what we anticipated. The two officials are fighting."
Lan Xi sat in front of the mirror as her expression beckoned for more information. Lin Fan continued: "The new police chief of City N made a ruthless move, prompting fierce resistance from officials whose interests got hurt. Now this fight is a battle of wits and blood between corrupted and uncorrupted."
"You mean the new police chief is uncorrupted." Lan Xi heard his interpretation.
"Correct. To be honest, I admire the new police chief's resolute and it seems she is winning."
"But if she wins..." Lan Xi didn't speak but Lin Fan nodded.
"Our interest might suffer in the coming future."
For the underground organization, the best living environment was chaos and no restraining laws. Now that the new police chief had taken over the chair, the sky was going to change.
Their Vermillion group would also suffer if the security of Province N improved under the leadership of a new police chief. Freedom would disappear and they could no longer obtain profit as before.
The other gang leaders were going through the same thought process as Lin Fan and Lan Xi. While sneering at Tiger gang demises, they were worried about the future.
For now, everyone must stay low and avoid attracting the central government's eyes.
