Chapter 225 Cooperation
A light rain drizzled down, wetting the streets. The damp streets reflected puddles, and a few raindrops clung to the treetops.
In the darkness, Chi Chengling sat in the car, half-lowered the window, and skillfully lit a cigarette. A faint light flickered in the dimness, and the smell of tobacco spread.
"This matter of yours might be a bit difficult." The man outside the window roughly threw away his cigarette butt and stomped it out. He habitually scratched his bald head, his hand lingering on the tattoo on the back of his neck.
"The matter is settled, the price is negotiable." Chi Chengling took a deep drag, smoke rings swirling upwards, a leisurely expression awaiting the man's affirmative answer.
“Last time, my brothers went in and never came out again. Some of them barely managed to keep enough for funeral expenses. The loss was too great.” The man leaned against the side of the car, his head down. His shiny forehead reflected the light under the streetlight, making it impossible to see his expression.
After finishing one cigarette, Chi Chengling casually removed the cigarette butt from his lips, his eyes narrowing. "This time he won't have a chance to take revenge on you. He's doomed."
"You have no choice but to cooperate with me. There are several factions in your underworld now. If you agree to stand with me on the opposite side of Chi Ruiche, then your non-participation tonight will also be considered as your doing."
Chi Chengling's brows relaxed, and a smug smile appeared on his lips; clearly, everything was going according to plan.
The man froze, then let out a long sigh. His expression calmed down, no longer showing any impatience, as if he were making a huge decision, and everything had to be done flawlessly.
"Okay, what do you need me to do?"
"Have your people stand by in these locations at any time, find a few people to form a 'suicide squad,' and make sure the compensation amount is in place."
He is like a spider weaving a large web, and now he is not as impatient as usual, but rather proceeds cautiously, aiming to be number one in every move.
"it is good."
The car window slid up, separating the two people, who remained unusually calm as they waited.
The rain at the end of spring, mixed with the spring breeze, brought the heat of early summer. Jiang Yi slept soundly that night. Raindrops dotted the flowers and plants in the courtyard, bringing a touch of warmth to the early summer.
"Aunt Wang, did my brother come back last night?" Jiang Yi felt that someone called her name in the hazy last night, but perhaps because she was too sleepy, her eyelids were drooping and she never looked.
"No, did you sleep poorly?" Aunt Wang deftly set out the straw bowls and handed a glass of warm milk to Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi shook her head, glancing uncertainly at the study. In this large villa, she was alone with only a few maids. A strange emptiness welled up inside her, as if she had overlooked something.
"Miss, would you like to have wontons today?" Aunt Wang gently wiped Jiang Yi's hands with a warm towel and then adjusted the position of the new bowls and chopsticks.
Jiang Yi was stunned. She had encountered such details before, but she was puzzled and couldn't remember who did it.
"it is good."
Jiang nodded. Thin dumplings, as delicate as cicada wings, floated in the clear broth, each bite delicious.
"Aunt Wang, did you just learn this? It tastes great." Jiang Yi tasted another one with satisfaction, the familiar taste making her feel a little uneasy.
"…Yes…"
Abu rushed over as soon as he finished dealing with several contract disputes. "I arrived at just the right time."
"Are you that free, CEO?" Jiang glanced at him, rolled her eyes, and remained unmoved.
"Aunt Wang, make me a bowl too. I've been drinking all night, and my stomach really needs it."
Abu leaned back unceremoniously in his dining chair, deliberately shaking his legs, giving off the impression of being the head of the household.
"I'm off today. Where do you want to go? I'll go with you." Abu yawned, his voice sounding like he was about to cry.
"Be courteous for nothing."
"You silly girl, can't you think about the good things about your third brother? When you were little, wasn't it always your third brother who took you to play?"
"I don't want to go anywhere today."
