Five days had passed, and the incident of the Yongle Gang being raided at their trading site in the 546th Street District continued to fernt.

From a loss perspective alone, this event was far from shaking the foundations of the financial groups.

However, its impact was enormous.

It stirred up waves within the entire criminal syndicate of the Second District, triggering a series of chain reactions.

It was an unspoken rule among the major financial groups that internal disputes should not openly use governnt forces to fight proxy battles.

However, now the two major factions of the Zhou family were fiercely bombarding each other, dragging others into the fire.

This "malicious" act of breaking the rules of the ga imdiately made the entire Zhou K Group the target of public criticism.

The Wu Group, infuriated to the point of smoke coming out of their heads, followed suit.

Within five days, they reported over a dozen cases of criminal activities by the Zhou K Group's underworld forces.

They had the air of "you started it, I'm just retaliating a little bit legitimately."

Zhou Boxin, the Vice Chairman of the Zhou K Group, was almost spitting with anger.

All the industries under his command were being hit by the Wu family's retaliation, while the instigator, Zhou Nuoman, was completely unaffected!

After pulling off her operation, she simply retreated to her villa in the bustling district and didn't co out.

She even had a group of bodyguards protecting her closely, making it impossible to catch her!

Zhou Boxin swallowed a few blood pressure pills, then began to call his capable right-hand man, Wang Qiang.

"You know about Old Ice's situation? Zhou Ming's secretly ford new faction has already gained montum. What's your take on this?"

Through the receiver ca a ruthless male voice: "I was careless before. We can hire high-priced assassins to infiltrate the villa and kill Zhou Nuoman. Once she's dead, the new faction will crumble."

After a mont of silence, Zhou Boxin pressed his brow and spoke: "Do you really think the old man Zhou above is just a figurehead?

The old fox encourages competition among those below, and it wouldn't be a big problem if soone is ruined or crippled in defeat."

"But if we directly send people to eliminate her, that would be crossing the old man's line!"

After so thought, he continued: "Never mind, it's normal that you don't understand so things about the Zhou family."

"Now that the Empress is strengthening the crackdown on border drug trafficking, I plan to temporarily put that business on hold. Make sure there are no more mishaps with the goods you're responsible for."

"If Zhou Nuoman wants to get involved with Jinxi Entertainnt City, let her. That area will soon be closely watched by the federal governnt. Let's make a quick profit and pull out."

After finishing the call with Zhou Boixn, Wang Qiang had a plan in mind.

The "goods trade" referred to by the other party was naturally not about legitimate commodities, but about human and organ trafficking.

Unknown to outsiders, Jinxi Entertainnt City didn't rely on nightclub business to make money.

After all, being in the Second District, many illegal activities couldn't be conducted openly, as they would be easily detected.

No matter how powerful the local snakes were, they wouldn't dare to openly confront the federal governnt.

Another dark trade with high profits and low costs was the ans by which Wang Qiang and his ilk reaped exorbitant profits.

Places like Jinxi Entertainnt City, built on the outskirts of the city and teeming with a mix of people with frequent population movent, were perfect "warehouses" for Wang Qiang and his kind.

Before targeting their "prey," they would conduct a simple investigation into their identities.

They specifically chose people who were alone and without close contact with friends or relatives.

Many people mysteriously disappeared in the 546th Street District, often unnoticed for months or years.

The disappearance of so people was as insignificant as their existence.

People didn't know they had once lived on this land, nor did they know they had died.

......

On the evening of the sixth day after the Yongle Gang arrest incident, Shen Han returned to Jinxi Entertainnt City with four team mbers.

As soon as they entered the nightclub, everyone felt that the atmosphere was a bit off.

The people were the familiar crowd, but everyone's expression showed caution, with a hint of unease.

Shen Han asked Mu Ze, who had just run to her side: "What's going on?"

Mu Ze looked at the woman before him who always remained calm in the face of change, feeling sowhat admiring from the bottom of his heart.

He hunched his shoulders and said softly: "You weren't here the past few days so you don't know, Brother Hui has been stripped of his Vice President position. Now he's a floor manager like you."

Hearing this, Shen Han wasn't particularly surprised.

Since Ren Hui had chosen to side with Zhou Nuoman, it was normal for him to be affected after the Yongle Gang incident had caused such a stir.

"Has anyone taken over Brother Hui's previous position now?"

Hearing Shen Han's question, Mu Ze first looked around to see if anyone was paying attention to them, then continued: "Manager Zhang has taken the position!"

As he spoke, he suddenly rembered sothing and hurriedly warned: "You haven't had much interaction with him, but you must be very careful of him."

"When you first ca for the interview, all the competitors you t were brought in by him, and he was also the one who had

keep an eye on you at that ti."

Finally having the opportunity to say this, Mu Ze felt relieved but also a bit uneasy.

He could feel that Manager Shen was treating him sincerely, but he had initially approached her with the purpose of surveillance.

This had been weighing on his mind, feeling heavy and uncomfortable.

Shen Han had long known that this person had once reported her daily whereabouts to others.

In the ga of strategy, this was normal, so she didn't mind at all.

But the fact that Mu Ze took the initiative to reveal this and the mastermind behind it surprised and moved Shen Han.

"Alright, I understand. After Manager Zhang took over, has there been any impact on your night market stalls?"

"When I just ca in, I didn't see your stalls in their original positions."

Mu Ze nodded honestly: "Manager Zhang drove us away."

"But you don't need to go find him, we're planning to move our stalls to the street corner now. We can do business for several entertainnt cities at once!"

Hearing him say this, Shen Han felt reassured.

After saying a few more words, she led her four team mbers directly to the second-floor comprehensive conference room.

Reportedly, the newly appointed Vice President Zhang was holding a eting with everyone.

Shen Han wanted to listen in and see what plans he had.

The situation was gradually becoming clear.

Both she and Ren Hui had been labeled as part of the new faction, so those moving against her side must be from the other faction.

When Shen Han arrived at the comprehensive office, she found that Zhang Lei had already finished the eting and left.

The room was left with Ren Hui, who didn't look too pleased, and a group of employees who usually had good relationships with her.

Yan Ni and other drink promoters were among them.

Upon seeing Shen Han, these people's previously anxious faces imdiately lit up.

Shen Han raised her hand to respond to everyone's greetings, indicating that they could go about their business.

She herself walked over to Ren Hui and asked curiously: "Brother Hui, what are you packing up?"

Ren Hui didn't even look at her and snorted coldly: "Vice President Zhang had people throw out all my office belongings. What do you think I'm packing up?"

At this point, he threw the already broken photo fra into the storage box, turned sideways and pointed at Shen Han's nose, gritting his teeth: "Isn't it cleaning up the ss you caused!"

Seeing Ren Hui losing his temper, the four team mbers standing behind Shen Han imperceptibly tensed up.

If he made any aggressive moves, they would imdiately step forward and restrain him.

The lower-level service staff scattered around the comprehensive office looked worried.

They wanted to say so good words for Shen Han but didn't dare to interfere in matters between the two managers, so they could only stand aside and pray, hoping that Ren Hui wouldn't give her too much trouble.

Being scolded with a finger pointed at her nose, Shen Han didn't show any anger.

Because the Brother Hui before her had indeed taken a lot of bla for her.

He seed to have been implicated quite badly, but in reality, he had once again chosen a difficult but correct path.

Shen Han naturally wouldn't explain too much to him now.

She rolled her eyes slightly and spoke with three parts surprise and three parts apology: "Brother Hui, did I cause you big trouble with the Yan Bo incident before?"

Hearing this, Ren Hui imdiately beca furious.

He thought to himself: Don't you have any idea whether you caused trouble or not?

At this mont, Shen Han spoke again: "Brother Hui, about the Yongle Gang incident a few days ago, Brother Qiang didn't put the bla on you again, did he?"

Adding insult to injury!

Just as Ren Hui was about to throw his water glass, he heard Shen Han quickly mutter: "Brother Qiang is so scary, not like , I only care about Brother Hui."

As soon as these words fell, the entire comprehensive office suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

The service staff were all stunned!

Such teasing words could actually be heard from Manager Shen's mouth?

The four team mbers standing behind Shen Han, as well as the special task force mbers monitoring through the detection glasses, all had strange expressions.

Was this Captain Shen's true ability?

It was terrifyingly formidable!

Ren Hui laughed out of anger.

He stopped packing and carefully examined the young woman before him who was of equal height.

He really wanted to ask Zhou Nuoman where she had dug up such a rare talent.

Not only was she a troublemaker, but she could also infuriate people with just a few words!

Most importantly, even though his lungs hurt from anger, he couldn't hit her because he couldn't win.

After holding back for a long ti, Ren Hui ultimately chose not to confront her head-on.

He glared at Shen Han and left carrying his storage box.

In a place unnoticed by everyone, Ren Hui slowly let out a long breath.

He knew that this ti he had probably chosen the right side again!

Zhang Lei was soone who operated in the shadows, but now he had been brought to the forefront.

In Ren Hui's view, this sowhat had the feeling of a cornered dog jumping over a wall.

And the attitude Manager Shen had just revealed was clearly one of having nothing to fear.

At this point in the ga, it seed both sides were about to make lethal moves against each other!

Thinking of this, Ren Hui shook his head slightly.

It would be best not to get too involved in such life-threatening matters. He would wait for both sides to finish fighting and then wait for rewards based on rits.

Although he might not get too many benefits, at least he could ensure his safety.

If he lost his life, no amount of money earned could be enjoyed.
