Bang!

A s in the water and floral patterns had an inti into pieces

Lai Wuyi’s expression was extreh he was already two hundred years old, Lai Wuyi had preserved his etic

When this energy transfor

“SU CHEN!” Lai Wuya growled, gritting his teeth

“Father, things are a bit troubleso Clear Gang, the first thing he did was co the matter He said that if we didn’t settle it quickly, Su Chen would exterminate every last one of the Wenxin to hand over the perpetrators of the murder within a certain period of ti Wenxin has already found the culprits, but he hasn’t handed the to hear our opinion”

“What does heto hear our opinion?”

“He wants us to bear the responsibility for this Without question, he is lowering his head to Su Chen! Si Liu Jiyun’s assassination and justifying Su Chen’s actions This is way too e to hi Wenxin doesn’t want to make that decision, so he handed it over to us”

Lai Wuyi harrumphed, “He can’t just hand over a few rando to do so,” Lai Tianli replied

“Oh? Why is that?” Lai Wuyi said with some surprise

“Father, think about it Let’s put aside the fact that Su Chen isn’t an easy person to deceive and talk about the matter itself We were the ones who ordered to make aleader’s trusted aides To wang Wenxin, the for leader has only just died, and reht still be there It’s hard to avoid there being so who are still loyal to him Anyone who could carry out the assassination of Liu Jiyun must be one of Li Yue’s trusted aides, who also happens to be theWenxin wants to take care of them now” Lai Wuyi understood

“Yes, but it’s best if he doesn’t make the move himself,” Lai Tianli added

“So he handed the blade to Su Chen”

“Yes, but he wants us to be the ones to hand Su Chen the blade, not himself”

“That bastard!” Lai Wuyi ser “He dares to use us to take the heat off of hi Wenxin was part of the Long Clear Gang, as being suppressed Even though we controlled the Long Clear Gang, it was through Li Yue, not through wang Wenxin He has no gratitude towards us, and that’s the truth”

“What about trying to rope him in now?”

“It’s too late for that,” Lai Tianli said “Even though he hasn’t handed the individuals over yet, wang Wenxin has already given Su Chen a list of names, and he’s even prepared an oral confession Both the human testi Clear Gang’s assassination of Liu Jiyun can be considered an open and shut case now The only thingis that the perpetrators themselves haven’t been turned over yet”

“He’s afraid that we’ll force him to switch out the individuals!” Lai Wuyi said in shock

“That’s exactly his intentions Now that things have reached this point, Father, what should we do?”

Lai Wuyi shut his eyes helplessly

After thinking about it for a long tiree to hand the people over, Su Chen will openly wipe out the Long Clear Gang with the Origin Bureau, further increasing his prestige He could even continue to pursue the ree to hand the people over, we are lowering our heads to Su Chen, and our prestige and influence over the Long Clear Gang will be greatly di Clear Gang Is that the situation we are in?”

“Yes sir!”

“Ai! Looks like we’ll have to pick the lesser of two evils,” Lai Wuyi said reluctantly

“Your son understands”

Even though giving wang Wenxin co didn’t benefit the Lai Clan, it was just aas they let him in on the profits and softened hiain control of the Long Clear Gang That wasunder their protection and further escalating the situation

Even though nobility Clans were powerful, they still needed to knohen to stop It was precisely because they didn’t have the power to shake the heavens that they needed to control their ambition; otherwise, they would be wiped out sooner or later

“Then, what about Su Chen……” Lai Tianli asked

Lai Wuyi thought for a moment, then said, “Nan’an Street, Ten Kilometers Pavilion, and now Clear River Dock…… do you not understand yet? This person isn’t simple at all”

“Absolutely Someone who is able to trap us nificant ath, even to the point that he killed Li Yue and the other two single-handedly, cannot be underestihed

“Our previous defeats were precisely because we underestiain It’s ti”
