C195

In the month that Zhou Heng had dived into the water, two major events occurred in the Coastal City.

The first was, of course, the extermination of the Black Tower's foothold near the sea by Ding Long's men. They did not let any of their friends who were crippled go off. The battle against the Black Tower was fought in secret between dusk and midnight. Furthermore, the battlefield was in a deserted area of the city, so only a few people knew of the results of the battle. However, the impact was not small. The Foreigners who were peddling the strange drugs in the city all disappeared in one night, and the kidnapping of women also never happened again. Some said that before the Black Tower's stronghold was breached, the berserk Magi had killed their entire captives, and some said that Ding Long's men were the ones who prevented the news from leaking, and thus killed these innocent women. However, both sides had only speculated that the lack of strong testimony would eventually come to naught.

Compared to the previous matter being kept a secret, the second major event was even more sensational. Ding Long had officially unified the underworld that surrounded the sea. There were no longer any factions or organisations that disobeyed him, and there were no such words as "subordinate gangs". All of the large and small associations, including those street hoodlums and jobless gangsters, had become under Ding Long's banner during this month. Some people predicted that an empire of the underworld would soon rise up within the sea, and some people believed that China's national situation was different from that of other countries. The country would not allow such an organization to sit idly by and do nothing, so Ding Long being so arrogant, would definitely be punished by the law. But at least from the looks of it, Ding Long was going step by step past his past self, towards an even higher peak.

And Cao Tai, who had become the stepping stone for Ding Long's father and daughter, was currently lying in a dark underground room. For the past month, he had been staying here and did not take a step outside.

"I beg of you, quickly send this evil star away!" Another woman's voice sounded from above his head. This woman was Wang Yi's wife.

"What are you saying!?" "He's the eldest young master of the Cao family. Right now, the entire ocean is looking for him. If I send him out, will he still be alive?" Wang Yi's voice also sounded.

"You also know that the entire area near the sea is looking for him?" The woman started an argument, "If you don't send him away, one day when Ding Long comes to our heads, our family will all die!"

"Can you lower your voice a little?" Wang Yi's tone was a little impatient, "Don't shout so loudly."

"Heh, you also have times of fear. If you dare to do it, don't be afraid of others knowing. Let me tell you, Miss Ding has offered a bounty of 2 million, that is 2 million bounty … "

"Stop it!" Accompanying Wang Yi's fury was the sound of someone heavily hitting the table.

"You told me that it would be beneficial to hide this young master of the Cao family, so I agreed. In this month, I've been sending you food and medicine. Now, I haven't seen a single cent of it, and I've even invested quite a bit myself!"

Cao Tai who was in the basement was squatting at the corner of the bed, hugging his knees.

"Money, money, money, you only know money. Without the Cao family, how can you live in such a big house? If you remember money, why don't you remember gratitude? "

"Now, Lin Hai's surname is Ding!" You will not have a good ending if you do this without telling the Miss Ding! "

"What does a woman like you know! How can an upstart like Ding Long be compared with the Cao family of the Beiping! "

The two of them were arguing more and more intensely above Cao Tai's head.

"Cao is so powerful, why can't he protect his own eldest son? I still need to rely on a nameless nobody to protect me!"

"This is none of your business, you can't be in charge."

"Alright, Wang Yi, you can play with me now, can't you?"

Wang Yi did not speak.

"Done!" I will take my son away, but you have to play with the fire yourself, don't implicate your son! "

Cao Tai still did not hear his voice. There was a rustling sound from above his head, as if Wang Yi's wife was packing up her things.

After a long while, a few new voices came from the top of the building, but the voices were not as loud as before, so Cao Tai was unable to hear what they had said clearly.

After a while, there was a bang above his head. It was the sound of a heavy door closing. Wang Yi's wife probably really left with her son. Cao Tai sat on the bed, quietly making no sound, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

During this month, he tried countless of times to contact the Cao family in Beiping, but no phone calls could be made, and the letters could not be delivered. also did not relax even once every day as the bounty on his life continued to rise. Maybe it was as Wang Yi's wife had said, as long as he was still at Seaside, there would be a day when she would find him. At that time, Wang Yi would definitely be implicated by his.

In the darkness of the basement, Cao Tai buried his head in his knees.

Just then, the basement door opened, Wang Yi walked in with Cao Tai's dinner. He first turned on the light in the basement. Usually, when Cao Tai was alone here, he would not need any light.

Wang Yi carried the food and arrived in front of Cao Tai. Hearing his footsteps, Cao Tai also "looked" in Wang Yi's direction.

Wang Yi placed the rice bowl in front of Cao Tai. "Young master, the food is here." "No," he said.

Cao Tai did not reply him, nor did he reach out to touch his bowl.

"Young Master, the food is here!" Wang Yi said again as he raised his voice.

"Has your wife left with her son?" Cao Tai suddenly asked.

"That's right," Wang Yi's tone did not sound sad at all, but on the contrary, carried a hint of happiness, "My son misses his grandmother. I want my wife to bring my son to meet his parents for a few days."

"Don't worry Young Master, I can cook too. My cooking skills are no worse than my wife's." Wang Yi patted his chest and said.

"Is that so?" Cao Tai knew that Wang Yi was lying to him. He didn't want Wang Yi to worry about his family's situation. In the past, Cao Tai never knew that there were other people who were so loyal to him, or it could be said that he had never considered the question of the loyalty of his subordinates.

He was a proud son of heaven, so others should flatter and obey him.

Until they met Ding Ling, this terrifying woman pushed him down from the clouds. Cao Tai finally realized that without the protection of his clan, he was just a simple idiot. The current him did not have any qualifications to contend against a woman like Ding Ling.

The only thing Cao Tai could do was wait. When the day of his communication with the clan came around, he would make Ding Ling, Ding Long, and the people of the entire Coastal City that had once defied him pay the price.

In this one month, Cao Tai had only learned one thing and that was also the most important thing — — Patience.

[The bitter man, the heavens will not let him down. It is time to test his courage.
