Rebirth of the Peak Young Master

Chapter 1417: Reliable Information

Wu Xinruo tapped his fingers on the table: "Brother Zuo, the Xingwu Gang has risen rapidly in recent years. I heard they’ve been recruiting a lot of people lately. Even our top expert at the Rejuvenation Club, Mai Musha, was killed by a newcomer from the Xingwu Gang. If things go on like this, we’ll be forced to death by them sooner or later!"

Zuo Qingyun thought for a moment, then said nothing, simply agreeing with Wu Xin: "Brother Wu agreed!"

Wu Xin continued: "What if we team up to eradicate the Xingwu Gang?"

Zuo Qingyun’s face turned peculiar, and he smiled: "Do you plan to kill the Xingwu Gang? They have about a hundred people. Where can they be so easily killed? Even if the Xingwu Gang is wiped out, we’ll suffer heavy losses. Brother Wu, don’t forget there’s still a lurking tiger pretending to nap over us. Do we really want to fight for such a loss to eliminate the Xingwu Gang? Do you think Li Zhi from Xue Yue would miss an opportunity like this? I believe he would swallow us whole! It’s not worth it!"

"Haha." Wu Xin relaxed and laughed upon hearing Zuo Qingyun’s words, "Brother Zuo, what if we use the power of thunder to kill Zheng Keji and his daughter, and then install a puppet to control the Xingwu Gang? Would Li Zhi dare fight against us then? If a real fight breaks out, the Green Gang from the Southern Province won’t let such a good opportunity slip by! Moreover, a blatant fight involving hundreds, the Grand Hall will never allow such a thing to happen!"

Zuo Qingyun couldn’t help but squeeze the teacup in his hand: "Brother Wu, are you saying you have a plan?"

Wu Xinchao glanced at Wu Shang: "It’s on Shang!"

"Yes!" Wu Shang nodded, taking a step forward. "Boss Zuo, according to reliable information, on the 23rd of this month, that is, tomorrow, Zheng Keji will be flying from Wuzhou Airport to Lijiang. Accompanying him are no more than three people. This is an opportunity!"

Zuo Qingyun thought carefully and nodded: "If the news is reliable, this truly is an opportunity, but isn’t killing Zheng Keji’s daughter, Zheng Xueyun, still there?"

Wu Shang handed Zuo Qingyun a folder: "According to my investigation, Zheng Keji has started to retire in recent years. One reason is that Zheng Xueyun has grown rapidly and has the capability to take over the Xingwu Gang. Another important reason is that Zheng Keji has a heart condition, which has become increasingly severe in recent years. In the document Zuo Zongtang holds, it shows Zheng Keji’s every visit to the hospital; his ex-wife is from Wuzhou City, and her grave is in the Wuzhou City Public Cemetery. Zheng Keji is afraid outsiders might desecrate his ex-wife’s grave, so each time he visits the cemetery in Wuzhou City, he is very discreet, dresses plainly, and is only accompanied by three people, traveling by taxi round-trip. We can take advantage of this by having our people pose as taxi drivers to intercept and control Zheng Keji. Then we could use the hospital to call Zheng Xueyun, informing him of Zheng Keji’s heart attack, insisting on his stay at the Muzhou Hospital. Zheng Xueyun never dares to announce, fearing we might find out. Thus, Zheng Xueyun would only bring a few people to Muzhou City, and we could lure Zheng Xueyun into the Muzhou Hospital and kill him immediately. This way, events will be within our control!"

"Very good!" Zuo Qingyun pounded the table hard.

Wu Shang continued: "When Zheng Keji and his daughter are gone, in the Xingwu Gang only two people are likely to become their leader, one is Zhao Junkai, and the other is Zhong Baitao. Although Zhao Junkai has good Martial Arts skills, he lacks ambition and wasn’t worth worrying about. Once Uncle Zhong Baitao, who is under our control, he will naturally listen to us and become a puppet we support. If he doesn’t, we’ll kill him. At the same time, we shall endorse his brother Zhong Qing, who is short-sighted and ungrateful. He will naturally wag his tail like a dog!"

"Very well, Ashang, do you think this strategy is too clever, allowing Zheng Keji and Zheng Xueyun no escape!" Though Zuo Qingyun didn’t explicitly approve, it’s obvious he agreed to cooperate with Wu Xin.

Wu Shang added: "Another thing to note, there is a newcomer from the Xingwu Gang named Jiang Guangrong. This kid has an expert by his side. When you take action, you need to find a way to get rid of this expert to overcome future difficulties."

Wu Xin nodded: "Alright, this small task, Ashang, will be yours!"

"Yes!"

Wu Xin smiled at Zuo Qingyun: "How about it, Brother Zuo, are you interested in doing something big?"

"Yes! I’m interested! Of course, I’m interested! Very interested! Since Zheng Keji dares to fly to my territory, I’ll give him a ticket to hell! Zheng Keji, Zheng Keji, this will be your death. Don’t blame me!"

"Good! Then let’s start dividing the work now!" Wu Xin slapped the table, indicating the two had reached a consensus.

"Brother Wu, how will the work be divided?"

"My people will be responsible for neutralizing or controlling other important figures of the Xingwu Gang. Brother Zuo, you’re responsible for capturing Zheng Keji. Once Zheng Xueyun steps in, you’re responsible for dealing with Zheng Xueyun. Zheng Keji is our commission to solve. So, even if the remaining stubborn members of the Xingwu Gang want revenge, they won’t just target either one of us. After that, Yanghe City next to Muzhou City in the west, our territory belongs to Brother Zuo, Tanxing City’s eastern territory belongs to our Revitalization Association. The two of us have already signed an alliance agreement. If Xue Yue dares to loot a burning house, the two of us must unite tightly!"

"Very good!" When Zuo Qingyun heard from Wu Xin that Zheng Keji and Zheng Xueyun had solved one of the problems, he relaxed, raised his cup without any objection. "Brother Wu, a toast to our flawless plan!"

"Cheers!"

Soon, the waiter began serving dishes. Wu Xin and Zuo Qingyun had no appetite. Shortly after, Zuo Qingyun left. Wu Xin, Wu Shang, and Wu Feng remained in the whole room.

Wu Shang laughed: "The boss is wise, pushing the task of killing Zheng Xueyun onto the Qingyun Gang. I guess in the future, the Xingwu Gang people will all go to the Qingyun Gang for revenge!"

"Haha." Wu Xin laughed, knowing that the old fox Zuo Qingyun had finally been fooled this time. Zheng Xueyun had taken over the Xingwu Gang in recent years. The members of the Xingwu Gang regarded her as the head of the gang. After Zheng Xueyun took power, she placed newcomers in key positions. Now the backbone of the Xingwu Gang was mostly newcomers. Those guys would prioritize seeking revenge on the old fox Zuo Qingyun. Let’s sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."

"But Dad, do we really want to give the entire western part of Yanghe to Zuo Qingyun? The west of Yanghe City is the most prosperous place!" Wu Feng asked incredulously.

"Haha..." Wu Xin laughed deeply, saying, "Afeng, you need to learn.

The next morning, Zheng Keji stepped out with packed belongings. Zheng Xueyun hugged Zheng Keji tightly: "Dad, relax and have fun. With Xingwu Gang around, there’s nothing to worry about. Take good care of yourself!"

Zheng Keji affectionately patted Zheng Xueyun’s head: "Alright, Dad knows. Weren’t you still a child when I was your father? Hahaha, I do hope for his health to improve. When will you find a suitable man to marry, allowing Dad to hold his grandson? Maybe then Dad’s condition will get better!"

"Dad, what nonsense are you saying! Do not rush your daughter into marriage!" Zheng Xueyun laughed, but the smile was a bit stiff. She keenly sensed the deep meaning in Zheng Keji’s words.

"Alright, Dad’s leaving."

"Brother Min, bring more people!" Zheng Xueyun instructed a middle-aged man.

"Understood, Miss, Boss, let’s go!"

Zheng Keji nodded, walking toward the door. Brother Min promptly opened the door. Zheng Keji turned back to glance at Zheng Xueyun, grinned, waved to indicate she should head back, then climbed into the back seat of the car.

Brother Min hurried to the front passenger seat, and soon the convoy started.

With a complicated feeling, Zheng Xueyun watched the distant car, inexplicably filled with a subtle sorrow of separation.

At this moment, the driver softly asked, "Boss, are we going straight to Muzhou Airport?"
