At night, a very ordinary off-road vehicle drove to the gate of a manor in the western suburbs of Longhai.
At the door, there were seven or eight young men in black, with bulging waists, and they were all obviously carrying firearms.
Two of them stepped forward and stopped the SUV.
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing a handsome face.
"Mr. Xiao?"
One of them asked respectfully.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Mr. Xue and Mr. Luo invited me here."
"Okay, Mr. Xiao, I'll have someone take you in, please."
After this person confirmed his identity, his tone became more respectful.
"Well, that's troublesome."
Xiao Chen nodded and raised the car window.
Then, someone drove ahead to lead the way, and the off-road vehicle slowly drove in.
After the off-road vehicle entered the manor, Xiao Chen looked around and murmured in his heart.
What is this place?
Why does it look like it's heavily guarded?
He had never heard of this place before.
About four or five minutes later, the car in front stopped.
Xiao Chen also stopped the car and looked around. It looked like a private club.
"Mr. Xiao, please."
As soon as the car stopped, someone came over quickly, opened the car door, and greeted him respectfully.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded, got out of the car, and threw the keys over.
"Mr. Xiao, please come with me."
Someone else came up and took Xiao Chen inside.
"Brother Xiao is here, haha, it's a long way to go."
As soon as Xiao Chen walked into the hall, he saw two people appearing, it was Xue Zhanhu and Luo Shijie.
"Haha, Boss Xue, Uncle Luo."
Xiao Chen looked at the two of them and smiled.
"It's a long way for you to run here from the city, right?"
Luo Shijie also smiled and shook hands with Xiao Chen.
"It's okay, Boss Xue, Uncle Luo, this is..."
Xiao Chen shook hands with Xue Zhanhu again and asked with a smile.
"Oh, this is something Lao Luo and I worked up before... We were all young at that time, and later we each led the Qing Gang. After Hongmen, we let people manage this place... On the surface, this place has nothing to do with us.
It has nothing to do with it, but in fact, it is still in our hands!"
Xue Zhanhu explained.
"It's kind of a private club."
"Uh-huh."
Xiao Chen nodded, he also knew some things about Xue Zhanhu and Luo Shijie.
After exchanging pleasantries, the three of them came to the private room upstairs.
"Boss Xue just said that this place is quite secretive?"
After Xiao Chen took a sip of tea, he looked at Xue Zhanhu and asked.
"Well, there are people who know about this club, but not many people know that this club is related to the two of us."
Xue Zhanhu nodded.
"Brother Xiao, what's wrong?"
"Haha, I'm here to meet you two today, so it's better to keep a low profile. The less people know about it, the better."
Xiao Chen smiled.
After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Boss Xue and Luo Shijie glanced at him, then looked at each other again, and their suspicions were confirmed.
"Boss Xue, why didn't you set the meeting place today at the Longteng Club?"
Xiao Chen noticed the two people's reactions and asked with a smile.
"Haha, Lao Luo and I also think that today's meeting should be kept low-key. The less people know about it, the better."
Xue Zhanhu said with a smile.
"It seems that you two have received the news?"
Xiao Chen smiled. He didn't think that some things could be hidden from the two of them.
After all, the Qinggang and Hongmen are existences that can rival the seven major families.
Even, in some aspects, stronger than the seven major families!
"Brother Xiao, are you serious?"
Seeing Xiao Chen mention this, Xue Zhanhu and Luo Shijie both looked a little more serious.
"Haha, isn't Mr. Bai already making plans?"
Xiao Chen looked at the two of them and smiled.
Although they had already made some assumptions, they were still shocked when they heard Xiao Chen admit it personally.
Because when they got the news, their first reaction was that Xiao Chen was crazy!
He has the Qinghong Order, and both of them have already made the decision to 'respect the order'. Therefore, it is equivalent to Xiao Chen taking charge of the three gangs and becoming the real king of the Longhai underground world!
But now, he wants to be the leader of the seven major families?
He wants to take both black and white... No, the term "black and white" is not accurate. He wants to be the king of the entire Dragon Sea?!
After learning the news, both of them couldn't sit still and bumped heads.
After they had some discussions, Xue Zhanhu called Xiao Chen, and then they had a meeting tonight!
Now, Xiao Chen admitted it directly, and they didn't know what to say.
"Haha, do you two have any other thoughts on this matter?"
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
"Xiao Chen, do you know what this means?"
Luo Shijie looked at Xiao Chen and asked slowly.
"I know."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Do you want to control the entire Longhai?"
Luo Shijie asked again.
"Haha, Uncle Luo, this is an exaggeration!"
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"I have never thought about controlling the entire Longhai, and I don't think I can control the entire Longhai... You know, Longhai is an international metropolis, and there are so many outstanding people here, creating one legend after another! Although I am
Quite narcissistic, but not so arrogant that he wants to control the entire Dragon Sea! Furthermore, the whole world is not the royal land, this Dragon Sea does not belong to someone, but... the imperial court!"
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xue Zhanhu and Luo Shijie both breathed a sigh of relief.
They were really afraid that Xiao Chen was too young, didn't know how high the sky was, or was blinded by ambition, so they made a crazy and death-defying decision.
Now it seems that this is not the case.
"Boss Xue, Uncle Luo, I understand your worries."
Xiao Chen looked at the two of them and smiled.
"The seven major families and the three major underground forces cannot represent the entire Long Hai, right?"
"But even if you can't represent it, you can still control fifty-six out of ten!"
Xue Zhanhu said slowly.
"Fifty-six out of ten, it has already touched the bottom line of the court."
"Haha, so, I came here in a low-key manner tonight, and you two also chose such a low-key place."
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"There is no airtight wall in the world. I'm afraid I can't hide this."
Luo Shijie shook his head.
"I don't expect to keep it secret for long. This is just an attitude I gave."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"manner?"
Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xue Zhanhu and Luo Shijie were startled, and then understood.
"If I unite the two gangs in a high-profile manner and then become the leader of the seven major families, the higher ups will definitely not be happy... But if I keep a low profile and let them feel that I don't have any big ideas, then even if they know it, they will not be happy..."
It doesn’t necessarily mean that we won’t tolerate it, what do you think?”
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Um."
Luo Shijie thought for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about our affairs first."
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded. He also wanted to know how the two people talked and what decision they made now.
"Brother Xiao, where is Qinghong Ling?"
Xue Zhanhu looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"At this."
Xiao Chen took out the Qinghong Order. He thought he might need it tonight, so he took it with him.
Xue Zhanhu and Luo Shijie looked at Qing Hongling on the table, narrowed their eyes, and strengthened their thoughts.
"Xiao Chen, Lao Xue and I have already discussed this."
After a long while, Luo Shijie spoke first.
"Well, Uncle Luo, please tell me."
Xiao Chen nodded, he was still looking forward to it.
"The Qinggang and Hongmen were once a family, but they separated due to certain factors... Although it may not be realistic to reunite them, they should maintain the 'Qinghong' heritage."
Luo Shijie looked at Xiao Chen and said slowly.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"So, after discussion, Lao Xue and I both decided to 'respect the order', just like Qinghong did back then... However, due to the differences in the general environment, it is difficult for the Qinggang and Hongmen to reproduce the 'Qinghong Gang'
Glory, so we can only use our own way to 'respect the order'."
"Can."
Xiao Chen nodded, and he didn't ask much about how they wanted to 'respect orders'.
"Brother Xiao, from today on, our Qing Gang will be at your disposal. As long as the 'Qing Hong Order' appears, then our Qing Gang will have nothing to say."
Xue Zhanhu answered.
"But... the Qinggang, there is still the Qinggang. This is what we talked about last time."
"Haha, I didn't object last time."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Boss Xue, Uncle Luo, if the Qinggang and Hongmen merge into one, plus Longmen, do you think I should accept it? I don't dare. If I really dare to do this, plus the seven major families, even if I
If you keep up with me, the outcome will probably not be too good."
"Um."
Xue Zhanhu and Luo Shijie nodded. Xiao Chen knew this and that was the best.
"In the face of national interests, any personal friendship is probably useless... Although I feel that I control this power and will not do anything that harms the country, the country cannot trust me, which I can understand."
Xiao Chen lit a cigarette.
"So, the Qing Gang and the Hongmen will be left as they were in the past. I will not interfere... and the leaders of the Qinggang and the Hongmen are still the same two."
Hearing what Xiao Chen said, Xue Zhanhu and Luo Shijie both nodded. This would not affect their interests.
"I, Hongmen, are the same way. We 'respect orders' and wait for your orders..."
Luo Shijie pressed Xiao Chen and said.
"Um."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"I can't tell you about the job. I'm still a junior in front of you...so I can use people from different factions because I know how to balance...balance each person and each faction."
"In ancient times, this was the art of emperors, right?"
Xue Zhanhu looked at Xiao Chen and joked.
"Emperor's art? Haha, I haven't studied this thing before."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Why, Boss Xue has studied it?"
"Well, I have studied it, and yours is the art of the emperor."
Xue Zhanhu nodded.
"Not really. I just do it out of my heart. There is no imperial art."
Xiao Chen waved his hand.
"No matter what the technique is, we will just listen to you."
Xue Zhanhu and Luo Shijie looked at each other and said.
