Chapter 114: Chen Mobilizes Independently

Page (1/3)

Observing the shifting expressions of the three men, Chen Bing continued, “These past two years, the global economy has been turbulent. The surface world has become difficult to navigate, and many powerful figures have turned their attention to the underground realm. For the underground circle, it’s a time of brewing storms and great upheaval. Whether Huang Yulong can continue to flourish as he has is anyone’s guess. But you three have the chance to choose a sturdy ship to weather the coming storm—at least in the imminent tempest, there’s hope of survival. Otherwise, if you accidentally fall into the sea, you’re as good as drowned. As for me, Chen Bing, my combat power surpasses Huang Yulong’s, and I’m not nearly as ruthless. Following me means your income will be at least ten times what you earn under Huang Yulong. Think it over, gentlemen.”

His words were strikingly clear.

Choosing my ship as your stronghold is far wiser than continuing to follow Huang Yulong.

Otherwise, if you fall into the sea by accident, not even immortals can save you.

Du Shisan and the others were no fools; they immediately grasped Chen Bing’s intent.

Chen Bing was aiming to swallow them whole in one gulp.

This meant they would be betraying Huang Yulong outright.

They knew well how ruthless Huang Yulong was.

Chen Bing was powerful enough to dare to wrestle with Huang Yulong, but the three of them were too afraid to do so.

“By the way, I won’t start a war with Mo Han. Since he is Huang Yulong’s enemy, he can be my ally. If we join forces to defeat Huang Yulong, the entire underground circles of Qian City and Yu Prefecture will be ours. With such vast gains, as long as Mo Han isn’t foolish, he will certainly cooperate with me,” Chen Bing chuckled darkly. “Think it over carefully.”

“No need to trouble Brother Bing,” Zhou Shucai waved his hand and stood up. “My life was given by Brother Long. I will never betray Brother Long!”

With that, he headed outside.

Chen Bing’s face darkened to its utmost; only after Zhou Shucai left did he turn to Du Shisan and Wang Jiangren.

“Zhou Shucai is short-sighted; he’s doomed to die soon.”

Chen Bing clenched his fists tightly; his knuckles cracked sharply. “In this world, you’re either friend or foe.”

Changing his sitting posture, he smiled as he looked at the two men. “Gentlemen, would you like to be friends with me, Chen Bing?”

There was a clear threat in his words.

Du Shisan and Wang Jiangren immediately paled.

It was an outright threat!

If they refused to submit, their fate would be grim.

Indeed, if they didn’t agree today, their lives might be forfeit tomorrow.

In times of rising storms, small fry like them are mere playthings, easily crushed.

Yet if they dared to betray Huang Yulong today, Huang Yulong would never let them live in peace.

As the two hesitated, suddenly—

Bang!

A figure was flung into the room.

They focused and saw it was none other than the just-departed Zhou Shucai.

Then, a two-meter-tall burly man entered.

Though a bit crude, his face bore a fierce expression.

Du Shisan and Wang Jiangren’s faces changed again.

This towering man was the second strongest in the Mountain Worship Society—

Living Human Tearing Lu Fei!

Even Lu Fei had been bought over by Chen Bing?

“You see? I told you Zhou Shucai was short-sighted and won’t last long,” Chen Bing said triumphantly.

Du Shisan and Wang Jiangren glanced at Zhou Shucai lying on the ground, only then noticing his neck was twisted.

Clearly, Lu Fei had broken his neck alive.

“I am willing to follow Brother Bing. Please take me in!” Du Shisan no longer hesitated; he stood and bowed respectfully.

“And Wang Jiangren?” Chen Bing’s gaze swept over Wang Jiangren’s alluring figure, a flash of greed in his eyes.

Wang Jiangren caught his gaze, licked her lips slightly, and proudly declared, “I am also willing to follow Brother Bing.”

“Ha! Very well. The sharp-minded seize the moment. You will be glad of your choice today,” Chen Bing laughed heartily.

Though losing Zhou Shucai was regrettable, securing Du Shisan and Wang Jiangren was already enough.

Now with Lu Fei, Du Shisan, and Wang Jiangren under his command, Chen Bing was well-equipped to make moves in Qian City.

“Beauty, how likely do you think it is that Malilai will cooperate with us?” Chen Bing asked, looking toward Wang Jiangren.

“That depends on whether I’m willing to make sacrifices,” she said, swaying her seductive waist.

Greed flickered in Chen Bing’s eyes, instantly understanding her meaning.

Wang Jiangren was willing to use her charms to deal with Malilai, but she wouldn’t do it for free.

“Then it’s settled. If you can persuade Malilai to cooperate with us, you will be the first vice president,” Chen Bing said with a smile.

Since he was going independent, Chen Bing intended to establish a new society.

Du Shisan narrowed his eyes but said nothing.

“Agreed. It’s a promise,” Wang Jiangren winked coyly and smiled.

“Brother Bing, I have a way to persuade Master Wu to cooperate with us,” Du Shisan suddenly said.

“Oh? Even Feng Qiankun failed. What’s your plan?” Chen Bing’s eyes lit up.

“I know Master Wu has a daughter here in Qian City. He won’t dare refuse our cooperation,” Du Shisan said sharply.

“Excellent. If you secure Master Wu, you’ll be the second vice president,” Chen Bing said.

If he could win over Master Wu, Chen Bing felt he wouldn’t need to seek out Mo Han.

Although Mo Han was rumored to be formidable, Chen Bing didn’t truly believe he was that strong.

He thought the Zuo brothers were just overrated.

“You won’t disappoint me!” Du Shisan vowed firmly.

…

Fang Zhuyun hadn’t expected Li An’an to value her so highly; she felt a deep sense of gratitude for being recognized.

Therefore, she threw herself into her work these days, even staying late alone to improve her planning department.

Officially, she was only the head of the planning team, but the entire department had very few people, and she was the sole manager.

It was almost the same as being the director.

The new factory was set to start production in three months—time was short but would pass quickly.

Li An’an demanded a market plan for the new factory’s new drug within a month.

Without overtime, Fang Zhuyun knew she couldn’t finish on time, especially as a novice.

At nine o’clock in the evening, the takeout she ordered finally arrived at the company.

After hastily eating, she returned to work.

She only packed up and left at ten.

The security guards on duty respected her dedication, having just arrived and already working so hard.

Returning to her residential complex, Fang Zhuyun had just stepped out of her car when several men in black approached.

“What are you—what do you want?” Fang Zhuyun’s face changed, fear flashing in her eyes.

“Miss Fang, sorry for the trouble. If you don’t want to suffer, come with us,” Du Shisan smiled and made a polite beckoning gesture.

Fang Zhuyun wanted to scream for help, but seeing the daggers in their hands, fear overwhelmed her.

In the end, she obediently followed Du Shisan into the car.
