Chapter 506 - Chapter 506: Chapter 313: Settling New and Old Grudges Together_2 (2/2)

How could he not know that name?

Liu Qing was one of his brother’s top lieutenants, using antiques and antiquities to generate significant revenue for the Old Street Factory District, adept in his methods.

Xiaoyang nodded, pointing to the relevant information on the tablet while explaining to Big Tiger.

Xiaoyang wasn’t a firsthand witness.

Thus, he couldn’t explain the ins and outs of “the love affair between Zhang De and Liu Qing” clearly; he only outlined the general shape of the story.

However, even the rough outline was enough for Big Tiger to understand.

Connecting the dots, Zhang De’s grudge with the Old Street Factory District became clear.

“Good, this time, we’ll settle both new grudges and old scores!”

Big Tiger’s lips curled into a cold, sneaky smile, like a hellhound.

He hadn’t expected that Lin Chuan’s future father-in-law would have such a history.

Firm in his plans, Big Tiger then shifted his focus back onto Zhang De.

Among the key information:

— Zhang De, member of Anling City Anti-Gambling Association.

“So, he’s an anti-gambling expert, huh!”

Big Tiger was even more delighted; he knew a hundred ways to defeat someone in this profession.

He believed all anti-gambling experts were once addicted to gambling themselves.

Gambling addiction wasn’t much different from nicotine addiction.

All you had to do was tell them small bets are enjoyable and it’s like advising people not to gamble; they’d take the bait easily.

Then at the gambling table, the situation would eventually sour as the game went on.

How could a gambler stop themselves?

“Boss, do you already have a plan?” Xiaoyang’s face lit up with a smile as he buttered up to his superior.

“As long as we find a suitable entry point, Lin Chuan, this little web novel writer, won’t be difficult to capture. Currently, Zhang De seems to be the best entry point, so let’s target him!”

Big Tiger powerfully jabbed the tablet where Old Zhang’s photo was displayed, not caring in the slightest whether the screen would break.

“You start investigating everything about Zhang De right now, in more detail.”

Big Tiger began issuing orders.

“Okay!”

Xiaoyang nodded vigorously, ready to leave the office.

“Hold on!” Big Tiger called out to Xiaoyang.

“Boss, any other instructions?” Xiaoyang asked respectfully, bending at the waist.

“Two more things. First, Lin Chuan is proficient in hacking, so we need strong external support. You contact AW for that; AW has a vendetta against Lin Chuan and will likely be eager to cooperate. Second, it’s been a day without any news of Lin Chuan, so find out what he was up to today, immediately.”

Big Tiger spoke with a commanding tone and intense expression.

Xiaoyang silently took note.

1. Contact AW to secure cooperation.

2. Investigate Lin Chuan’s activities for today.

Then,

he left the office.

As Big Tiger’s assistant, he had quite a bit of information at hand, such as how to contact AW.

At that moment,

Xiaoyang pulled out his phone and dialed his contact at AW using a burner number.

Dial tone—

The phone rang for a very long time, unanswered.

“Hmm?”

Xiaoyang frowned; logically, he shouldn’t be getting no answer!

With AW being such a large hacker organization, in theory, these contacts should be on call 24/7 to avoid missing out on critical jobs and events.

Xiaoyang tried calling the AW contact numerous times, but no one picked up.

Strange.

Xiaoyang muttered to himself.

“Never mind, let’s first find out what Lin Chuan was up to today!”

Xiaoyang immediately began reaching out to his informants.

This time, the call was answered quickly.
