Ding Wei cursed in his heart, but said: "You will all serve the empire and are heroes of the empire. How can I use you to seek benefits for myself?
Our family's willingness to fund you is also supporting the great cause of the empire, so you don't have to feel pressure anymore and can repay me by contributing to the empire with all your heart!"
Ding Wei's words of righteousness and Ling Ran's expression, coupled with his words, really fooled Xiang Zhizhong.
"It is truly a blessing for the empire to have people like you, sir. If everyone is like you, the great cause of the empire will be successful as soon as possible!" Xiang Zhizhong took the opportunity to flatter him.
Xiang Zhizhong was about to say something else when he heard a voice behind him.
"General Xiangzhi!"
Hearing this voice, Xiang Zhizhong's expression was a little unnatural, and he smiled bitterly at Ding Wei and said, "They are my guards, and I'm worried about overdosing on the medicine and hurting them.
It seems that they woke up sooner than I thought."
Ding Wei smiled and said: "They are also for your safety. When they see that you are not at home, they are naturally very worried. After all, if you are lost, they will not live long."
Xiang Zhizhong looked a little helpless.
"General, are you okay?"
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty General, it was our fault that we failed to protect your safety!"
"Please punish us!"
…
The two of them walked quickly to Xiang Zhizhong and nodded in unison.
Seeing that Xiang Zhizhong was unharmed, they were obviously relieved.
When they woke up and found that Xiang Zhizhong was not there, their hearts suddenly dropped. They thought Xiang Zhizhong had been kidnapped and immediately searched for him along the street.
After asking the front desk of the hotel, I learned that he walked out by himself, wearing a new suit, and no one else was following him.
Hearing the receptionist's description, although they had ruled out the suspicion of being kidnapped by Xiang Zhizhong, there were so many people on the street that they could see what would happen if something went wrong.
Based on the suit Xiang Zhizhong was wearing, they determined that Xiang Zhizhong might be too bored and wanted to go out and relax.
Because the Black Dragon Society was responsible for Xiang Zhizhong's escort work, he once invited him to come to the scene to show off, but before Xiang Zhizhong agreed, he was politely declined by the two escorts.
Thinking about it carefully, Xiang Zhizhong must have gone to the Happy Nightclub to attend the banquet.
The two of them hurried towards Great Happiness, but on the way they heard a burst of fierce gunfire, and the direction of the sound seemed to be coming from Great Happiness.
Their legs were so frightened that they almost rolled and crawled towards the Great Happiness. Only when they saw Xiang Zhizhong safe and sound did they put down the big stone in their hearts.
"Sir, I won't stay with you any longer. I'll take my leave now!" Xiang Zhizhong nodded.
"Your Majesty General, who is this?" the guard asked.
Guard B was a little cautious. They knew very well that Xiang Zhizhong had rarely gone out in Shanghai, so how could he have any acquaintances here.
"Don't think too much, he..." Xiang Zhizhong pondered for a while and said: "He is a friend of mine in China. I didn't expect to see him here, so I chatted with him a few more words."
After a pause, Xiang Zhizhong continued: "And this time I have to thank this gentleman. If it weren't for his help, the guests at the banquet would have turned into a pile of corpses!"
"Thank you sir!" The two guards immediately stood up and expressed their gratitude to Ding Wei.
Since Xiang Zhizhong was unwilling to tell the identity of the person in front of him, they would not feel uncomfortable asking questions to get to the bottom of it.
It's okay for you to understand some things. Knowing too much is not good for you.
"Sir, let's say goodbye!" Xiang Zhizhong nodded slightly and quickly walked out with the two guards.
When he walked to the door, Xiang Zhizhong said a few words to the second lieutenant.
Seeing Xiang Zhizhong walking towards him, the second lieutenant immediately trembled in fright and thought he was going to be slapped again, but Xiang Zhizhong did not hit him and just said a few words to him.
The second lieutenant glanced at Ding Wei with some fear and did not dare to ask any more questions. He just nodded repeatedly.
Xiang Zhizhong turned around again, smiled and waved to Ding Wei, then turned around and left the nightclub.
Watching Xiang Zhizhong leave, Ding Wei suddenly thought, atomic energy expert, forget it if you haven't met him yet.
Now that we have met, we have to tie them up. Moreover, it is not just Xiang Zhizhong alone, but many experts have gathered together, and they are sorry for this hard-won opportunity.
If you can kidnap these guys, you can at least delay the little devil's research in this area.
Although we are currently unable to conduct in-depth research, we can take our time in the future.
This kind of expert training will be very troublesome. It would be a pity if the ready-made dishes are not carried away in whole plates. Moreover, if you use them in the future, you will at least avoid a lot of detours.
Ding Wei really wanted to express his gratitude to those who usurped the throne. If it hadn't been for them, he would not have taken action, nor would he have known Xiang Zhizhong.
In any case, this is a blessing in disguise.
Although the nightclub was in a mess, it was still a near miss.
Because the monks and the others appeared in time, the rebels changed their targets. Except for a few people who were injured due to panic, no guests died.
Because of Xiang Zhizhong's explanation, the Japanese second lieutenant who was slapped briefly recorded what happened tonight and concluded that it was an internal dispute within the Black Dragon Society.
Immediately, soldiers were dispatched to escort the banquet guests home, and finally left in a panic.
Seeing that the second lieutenant didn't come to cause trouble, Mikuyama Jian was relieved, but also a little scared.
If several important people really died here tonight, even if Ken Chikayama tried to cover up what happened tonight, he would not be able to do so.
If nothing else, if the Shanghai garrison knew about it, they would definitely hold the Black Dragon Society accountable.
Kyoyama stood at the door, calming down the guests one by one, saying he would hold a banquet at the Chinachem Hotel in a few days to express his apology, and then sent them away one by one.
Ding Wei knew that the reason why he chose Chinachem was most likely because he lived there. He was obviously apologizing, but in fact he wanted to get closer to him.
Ding Wei didn't bother to expose Jinshan Jian's little thinking.
Qiu Chan was full of questions and just wanted to take Ding Wei back to the hotel and ask him what all this was about.
But after seeing off the last guest, Jin Shanjian walked quickly to Ding Wei.
"Master, I owe everything to you tonight!" Takeru said gratefully again.
After saying that, Jin Shanjian looked at the sofa where Toushan Manman's body was placed, and said sadly: "The teacher is dead..."
"Die well, I won't be able to deal with you even if you don't die," Ding Wei thought to himself, but patted Minayama Jian's shoulder to express comfort.
He said: "Don't worry about being sad, there are still many things to deal with now."
"Ah?" Jin Shanjian was a little surprised.
Ding Wei sneered and said, "You don't really think that this matter can end so easily?"
Chikayama Ken probably thought that the sudden death of Touyama Mitsuru was too much of a shock to him, and his mind has not yet turned around.
Ding Wei reached out and gestured, and the two sat on the sofa.
"Come, have a glass of wine to calm down." Ding Wei said with a smile.
Then he picked up a bottle of wine on the table, poured him a glass of wine, and handed it over: "You are now the head of the Black Dragon Society, show some courage."
Take the glass of wine fearfully and drink it all in one gulp. A glass of wine was poisoned, and his mood obviously improved a lot.
"Although those who opposed you are dead, their subordinates are still there." Ding Wei said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Jin Shanjian immediately understood what Ding Wei meant. Those remaining remnants might take revenge on him because of what happened tonight.
Even if he failed to succeed, he, the president, would not be able to sit still due to the revenge day after day, and would feel very uncomfortable. He had to be on guard against assassination every day.
"Then what should I do?" Chikayama asked.
"Simple."
Ding Wei made a beheading gesture with his backhand and said: "One word, kill, kill all those people and replace them all with your own people.
"Kill them all?" Jin Shanjian's face was full of astonishment. He didn't expect Ding Wei to be so cruel.
"Otherwise?" Ding Wei raised his eyebrows.
"..." Jin Shanjian was silent.
Ding Wei added: "They dare to kill even your teacher, let alone you. Since they have chosen to attack you, they will not go through with it in one go.
The most important thing is, after what happens tonight, will you still believe them?"
"No." Jin Shanjian said softly.
Just kidding, if you are going to kill yourself, how can you continue to trust their people? Who knows if one of them is his direct descendant and is secretly planning revenge.
"So." Ding Wei said: "You definitely won't believe them. They know this very well. Their masters are dead and you are alive. What do you think they will do?"
"..." Jin Shanjian was silent again.
Ding Wei patted Jin Shanjian on the shoulder and said: "Remember this sentence, strike first to gain the upper hand. Now is a good opportunity to strike.
Kill a group of people first, at least kill all those who openly oppose you as a warning to others, and we will slowly deal with those who oppose you secretly."
After a pause, Ding Wei continued: "It's like pulling out teeth. You need to pull out bad teeth. Some teeth with hidden diseases need to be discovered slowly."
Jinshan Jian immediately felt in awe of Ding Wei for no other reason than Ding Wei's words were exactly the same as what Toushan had taught him before.
"I..." But Jinshan Jian was still a little hesitant.
"But they are all meritorious people, and they have contributed a lot to the organization." After holding it in for a long time, Jinshan Ken finally said this.
"But they killed your teacher. This is no longer something you can't deal with if you don't want to." Ding Wei said in a bewitching voice.
"Your teacher is dead, and you also said that once a teacher is always a father, in other words, your father died in front of you, don't you want to take revenge at all?"
"Master, are you still willing to help me in the future?" Chikayama realized that if he wanted to secure his position as president, he must find a suitable backer.
The legacy left by the teacher, but it is his after all, not his own. Tou Shanman once taught him something.
What belongs to you is your own, and what is given to you by others will always belong to others if you cannot grasp it.
Moreover, Jinshan Jian didn't think that some people would sincerely cooperate with the Black Dragon Society after Tou Shanman's death, so he had to find a backer of his own.
At least, with him here and in charge, some people can continue to help the Black Dragon Club with peace of mind. No matter how stuck, Minamoto Kotaro is the best choice.
He did not answer Ding Wei's question, but asked a question.
"Then it depends on what conditions you give." Ding Wei did not hide it, playing some boring riddles for Jinshan Jian, and said with a smile: "I think I have told you enough."
"If you want to continue talking about this matter, it depends on how sincere you can be." Ding Wei looked at Jiandao near the mountain.
Want money?
Simple!
Jinshan Jiandao: "Young master, don't worry, although the teacher has passed away, I will continue to pay you monthly according to the conditions he gave you!"
It's just a 20% profit. If you can really hold on to your thighs, the 20% profit will be nothing at all.
"Are you really going to fool me like this?" Ding Wei said with a smile.
"Uh..." Jin Shanjian was stunned for a moment and said cautiously: "I don't know what you mean, young master?"
"Do you think that in this situation, the previous report is still significant enough?" Ding Wei sneered.
"..." Jin Shanjian immediately understood what Ding Wei meant, he was going to increase the stakes.
"You also heard that the guy lying on the ground is willing to give me double the reward. As long as I help him, it will be 40% of the profit." Ding Wei said with a smile.
"But in the face of this temptation, I still stand firmly on your side. Don't you really think that I can bribe you just for your 20% profit?"
"Master, what do you think?" Minayama Jian was a little panicked: "If he knew about the 40% profit, he would definitely not agree to it. Even if he is willing to give it to you, it will never last long."
"Of course I know, so I only want 30%, 30% profit every month." Ding Wei said directly: "Don't say no, 30% is nothing for you.
It's just that you make less money and use a little money in exchange for a big backer. Don't you think this deal is worth it?"
After a pause, Ding Wei said again: "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. If you can't find a big backer to help you stabilize, the Black Dragon Society will disperse.
By then you will have nothing but an empty shell of the Black Dragon Society!"
Ding Wei's words directly exposed Jinshan Jian's disguise.
"In this world, no matter what you want to gain, you have to pay the corresponding price." Ding Wei left the words and stood up directly, preparing to leave.
"Wait a minute, young master!" Jin Shanjian stood up quickly and called out to Ding Wei.
Ding Wei turned around and looked at Jin Shanjian without saying anything.
Jinshan Jian bowed deeply and said: "Everything will be done as you say, young master. As long as you are willing to help me, these conditions are not a problem."
Hearing this, Ding Wei suddenly showed a satisfied smile.
"Master, please continue to give me guidance!" Jinshan Jiandu said.
"I have given you the method. As for whether you are willing to do it or not, that is your problem." Ding Wei said.
"If you don't even try to intimidate, but instead swallow this breath alive, they will not take it seriously in the future."
After a pause, Ding Wei added: "The last piece of advice is, if you want to take action, do it as soon as possible. If you delay for one day, your majesty will be reduced."
After saying these words, Ding Wei stopped caring about Jin Shanjian and left the nightclub with Qiu Chan in his arms.
All the guests at the banquet have also left, leaving only Jinshan Jian and other people from the Black Dragon Club.
Chikayama leaned on the sofa, looked at Touyama Manto's body, grabbed the wine bottle and took a sip of wine, then smashed the bottle to the ground.
"Come here!" Jinshan Jian said fiercely without turning his head.
"Hai!" A man immediately walked up to him and paused: "Mr. President, what are your orders?"
"Get started immediately!" Mikasa Ken said in a deep voice: "Send our people out to clean up the remaining remnants. As long as they are their people, we will kill them all without leaving a trace!"
