Chen Che had to admit that Luo Qingtian indeed had so skills.
It’s no wonder he could make An Nishang suffer losses.
Over the course of several days, Luo Qingtian launched a large-scale attack on Chen Che’s business operations.
With his position as a special commissioner, Luo Qingtian could mobilize the Military Departnt’s troops to aggressively block various smuggling channels.
In just over ten days, Chen Che’s businesses suffered significant disruptions.
...
"Damn it, Master Chen. What the hell is wrong with this guy? Another batch of goods worth 300,000 got confiscated! Damn him, he’s like a damn leech, sticking to us all the ti!"
Bobby had a cigarette in his mouth, took a deep drag, and exhaled a smoke ring before throwing the cigarette to the ground and crushing it with his toe.
Bobby’s face twitched, showing a bit of impatience.
This Luo Qingtian was truly disgusting to the extre.
Chen Che sat behind his desk, his eyes lowered slightly, and said, "After all, he’s from the Night Empire Headquarters and always wants to make an achievent. We are just his cash cow here.
Spread the word; for now, stop all smuggling operations.
I want to see what happens when our Director Luo incurs public wrath."
"Are you saying to completely stop smuggling? Right now, all the cheap goods in the Ninth Special Zone essentially co from our smuggling. If we stop, won’t the prices in the Upper City District skyrocket?
The price of just salt alone might soar..."
"That’s not our problem to worry about. We’ve done all we could; it’s our Director Luo’s problem to worry about."
Bobby, sowhat worried, said, "But Master Chen, I’m just afraid that sothing might be wrong in his head.
If he keeps biting us relentlessly, what should we do?
If our business gets cut off for long, it would be hard to balance everything."
"I say, damn it, just get rid of him," Johnny suggested from the side.
Chen Che waved his hand, saying, "Stop. Killing a Central special commissioner would cause troubles from the Night Empire Headquarters, and the old bastards in the parliant would love nothing more than if we killed him. Then they’d have an excuse to make a fuss.
Don’t consider this plan unless it’s absolutely necessary.
Follow my instructions for now. I’ll figure out how to resolve this situation quickly.
Stop so of the businesses that can be stopped. I only kept running certain businesses because they couldn’t be easily abandoned. I’m not really interested in those businesses.
Perhaps I can use our Director Luo’s sharp blade to cut off these malignant growths."
Chen Che was referring to businesses such as human trafficking, slave trading, and organ selling and others.
In the wasteland of the apocalypse, these businesses were very common.
Chen Che initially didn’t want to operate these businesses, but other gangs and forces in the Upper City District would extensively engage in them.
After Chen Che took control of the entire Upper City District and held so many resources in his hand, there were so businesses you had to do.
After all, many businesses are tied to various supply chains.
If you don’t run these businesses, what happens to the suppliers behind them? Every business supply chain feeds many mouths.
If you don’t feed these mouths, they’ll open wide and viciously bite you.
Chen Che couldn’t ban them all in a short ti; despite not wanting to engage in these businesses, he had to let Bobby handle these ugly matters while holding his nose.
Temporarily stabilize these supply chains until he figures out a solution later.
He always felt that even in an apocalypse, these businesses shouldn’t be touched, for it’s against the natural order!
Now, just as Luo Qingtian’s knife can be used to pause these businesses temporarily, if the suppliers behind him make a fuss,
All the bla can be shifted to Luo Qingtian.
After all, with Luo Qingtian around, even if these businesses were conducted, they’d be captured after Luo Qingtian got the intel, simply leading to losses.
Bobby just nodded, imdiately went to make arrangents.
Chen Che pondered over the various matters, but suddenly received another ssage, and was sowhat surprised by the caller.
It turned out to be Zhou Shaoyang, whom he hadn’t been in contact with for a long ti.
Apocalypse Society.
Ever since he used various alliances to thwart the Apocalypse Society’s attempt to launch a holy war last ti,
The entire Apocalypse Society had fully quieted down and disappeared without a trace.
They hadn’t made any big moves for a long ti, not even Zhou Shaoyang and the others from the Apocalypse Society had contacted him for a long ti.
Now, Zhou Shaoyang suddenly reaching out made him raise his eyebrows. What trick does the Apocalypse Society want to pull at this critical mont?
There was no choice; he still maintained his double agent identity within the Apocalypse Society. Seeing the invitation in the ssage from the other side, after hesitating for a while, Chen Che took Xia Na with him and went.
...
Peruvian Slums.
Zhou Shaoyang and others had been waiting here for over a month. During this ti, Zhou Shaoyang and another Yellow-robed Priest, Arabic, had not taken a single step outside.
After all, the entire Ninth Special Zone was searching for them. Falling into the hands of the Judicial Bureau would be a fate worse than death.
Chen Che arrived at the Peruvian Slums and asked Xia Na to wait in the car while he ventured inside alone.
Upon entering the slums, as was customary, he zigzagged through the alleys until he reached a certain house.
Chen Che could see that the house was heavily guarded by followers of the Apocalypse Society, indicating that Zhou Shaoyang and Arabic were inside.
With purposeful strides, Chen Che entered the house and saw Zhou Shaoyang and Arabic.
Their ntal state was nothing like the vibrant ease they had before becoming fugitives.
Zhou Shaoyang’s chin was covered with stubble.
Upon seeing Chen Che, a glint flashed in Zhou Shaoyang’s eyes as he sneered sarcastically, "Master Chen, your fa is growing louder in the entire Upper City District, the godfather of the underground there. Have you forgotten your faith and the Master of Revelation?
Or have you already betrayed the Master of Revelation!"
Chen Che imdiately flew into a rage upon hearing this. Without hesitation, he stepped forward and slapped Zhou Shaoyang across the face with a crisp sound, catching everyone off guard.
A red swelling appeared on Zhou Shaoyang’s face as he stood there, bewildered, clearly not fully grasping what had happened.
Once he ca to his senses, he beca furious but saw Chen Che grabbing him by the collar, his eyes bloodshot, glaring at him nacingly as he said, "If you ever dare to blasphe my loyalty to the Master of Revelation again, I’ll damn well kill you!"
Seeing the murderous intent in Chen Che’s eyes, a sliver of fear suddenly flitted through Zhou Shaoyang’s heart.
This madman!
Chen Che’s sudden change took all the faithful present by surprise.
Could his faith and loyalty to the Master of Revelation really be this deep?
It was sowhat unexpected.
Seeing this, Arabic stepped in to diate, "Enough, we are all followers of the Master of Revelation! Don’t cause internal strife!"
Only then did Chen Che snort coldly, tossing Zhou Shaoyang aside, "Next ti you dare to blasphe my faith in the Master of Revelation, I’ll definitely cut off your tongue!
My faith is solely with the Master of Revelation, rember that!"
Zhou Shaoyang rubbed his face, montarily unsure whether Chen Che was faking or genuinely sincere. It didn’t seem like an act.
He spat a bit of blood to the side, unwilling to argue further with Chen Che, and said coldly while staring, "I want to leave. Find a way to get out of the safe zone!"
"Impossible."
"Bullshit! Your wanted posters are everywhere! The Judicial Bureau is crazily hunting you down, getting out is simply impossible," Chen Che replied without hesitation.
Zhou Shaoyang sneered coldly, "Don’t give that crap, I’m not negotiating with you, this is an order! I have urgent matters at the headquarters, I must go back. I know that with An Nishang’s rise these days, the Judicial Bureau is preoccupied, and oversight on us has slackened.
You’re the underground emperor of the entire Upper City District, and you can’t even get one person out? You think I’ll believe your bullshit?"
Chen Che frowned upon hearing this; clearly, sothing significant had happened at the Apocalypse Society Headquarters.
"I’m just warning you kindly, now is really not the ti to leave. What kind of urgent matter requires you to risk your life?"
"Ha, I might as well tell you. The Pope has perceived guidance from the Master of Revelation and wants to summon all major division leaders back.
I must return, I cannot miss the guidance of the Master of Revelation.
As the most devoted disciple of the Master of Revelation, you should know how important this is! I know you’re reluctant to send out for fear of implicating yourself, but as a follower of the Master of Revelation, you can’t be so cowardly!
Bottom line, you must get out. If you can’t even do this, I see no reason for you to stay in the Upper City any longer.
I’ll have your identity information spread throughout the entire city and make sure you won’t be able to stay in the Upper City!"
Hearing Zhou Shaoyang’s threat, Chen Che knew that Zhou Shaoyang was determined to leave. An idea suddenly struck Chen Che, and he said,
"I have many smuggling routes under . If you really want to leave, I can indeed get you out, but let be clear first.
The Ninth Special Zone recently got a new person, Luo Qingtian. You should know him; he’s the Director of the Anti-smuggling Bureau, probing my smuggling routes and business like crazy.
The route to get you out might also be discovered by him.
When that happens, you’ll be on your own."
Zhou Shaoyang furrowed his brows, clearly aware of this, and was montarily hesitant.
Seeing this, Chen Che advised, "If I were you, I’d focus on the big picture and wait until this blows over."
But Zhou Shaoyang, after pondering briefly, resolutely said, "No! I must go out, arrange it for imdiately, I need to leave the city within ten days!"
"Or we’ll fight to the death."
Chen Che gazed intently at Zhou Shaoyang for a mont before saying, "Alright. Wait for my news."
