Chapter 61

"Stay here, no one is to approach the security room without my permission!" As a top-ranking gang leader in Qingyang City, if Huang Qiang were deaf and blind, and had no knowledge of recent major events, he would have been killed long ago. So, upon hearing Chu Ying's words, he immediately sensed that the matter was not simple.

Chu Ying was very satisfied with Huang Qiang's reaction. The two returned to the security room, and Chu Ying asked, "Are these people reliable?"

Huang Qiang replied, "Absolutely reliable!"

Chu Ying nodded and slowly said, "I don't want anyone to know about my meeting with you today, not even those two young security guards!"

Huang Qiang patted his chest and guaranteed, "Eagle Brother, rest assured. I guarantee that no one will have seen Eagle Brother tonight, including myself."

Chu Ying picked up the pack of cheap cigarettes on the table, gave one to Huang Qiang, and lit one for himself. After a few puffs, he said calmly, "Qingyang City's three major gangs: Wild Dragon, Fierce Tiger, and Blood Wolf. I wonder if your Fierce Tiger is genuine or just a false reputation."

Pausing, Chu Ying continued in a solemn tone, "This conversation concerns the future of your Fierce Tiger Gang. I hope you don't hide anything from me."

If anyone else had said these words, Huang Qiang would have been furious, but since it was Chu Ying, a man who could take on fifty to sixty people alone, Huang Qiang, despite his resentment, could only suppress it.

After a moment's thought, Huang Qiang sighed lightly and said, "Eagle Brother might not know, but Wild Dragon and Blood Wolf have secretly formed an alliance, planning to launch a one-time attack on our Fierce Tiger Gang's territory. Ma Tao even boasts that he will drive me out of Qingyang City and have his uncle, Fat Ma, take my place."

Chu Ying frowned slightly, really not understanding what Ma Tao was up to. Huang Qiang helping Zhang Gang indicated a close relationship between them, and Zhang Gang and Ma Qingfeng were in cahoots. Moreover, Huang Qiang and Ma Qingfeng were related. Why would Ma Tao do this?

Furthermore, the last time Fat Ma called Ma Tao in front of him, it was clear that the uncle and nephew were not on good terms. Why would Fat Ma replace Huang Qiang now?

After a moment of contemplation, Chu Ying suddenly had an epiphany!

Ma Tao wanted to dominate the underworld of Qingyang City!

Chu Ying had never met anyone from the Blood Wolf Gang, but he was sure that their backing was far inferior to Ma Tao's. Ma Tao's alliance with them was a facade; his true goal was to unify the underground forces of Qingyang City.

Although Fat Ma and Ma Tao were not on good terms, they were still close relatives. Fat Ma's success in Qingshan Town was largely due to his relationship with Ma Qingfeng.

Given this, Fat Ma would be much easier to control than Huang Qiang, so Ma Tao planned to eliminate his rivals and achieve his goal of domination.

Realizing this, Chu Ying felt he had come at the right time. If he waited until Ma Tao made his move, it would be too late to turn the tide. With the diary, even if he couldn't eliminate Ma Qingfeng, it would be enough to keep the Ma family busy for a while.

During this time, Chu Ying could do many things. The top gang leader in Qingyang City would not be Ma Tao, but him, Chu Ying!

"Since you know Ma Tao is targeting you, why are you still here? Or do you have a comprehensive plan to confront him?" Chu Ying asked calmly.

Huang Qiang laughed dryly, his expression bitter. "I could leave, but I have dozens of brothers under me, many of whom have been with me since they were teenagers. Besides, our roots are in Qingyang City. Where else would we have a place to stay if we left?"

In fact, there was another reason Huang Qiang didn't mention. As one of the top three gang leaders in Qingyang City, he had his own dignity and principles. If he left like a coward, he would never be able to hold his head high again.

A man has his limits, and although Huang Qiang's activities were not above board, he was a true man at heart. Being a coward was more painful for him than death.

Chu Ying pondered, "If I help you deal with the Blood Wolf Gang, do you have the strength to take down Ma Tao?"

Huang Qiang was initially stunned, then his face lit up with joy, and his voice trembled, "If Eagle Brother can find a way to hold back the Blood Wolf Gang, a mere Ma Tao can be handled with one hand!"

Chu Ying said calmly, "Don't be too confident. Aren't you related to Ma Qingfeng? Why are you and Ma Tao at such odds?"

Huang Qiang sneered, "Ma Tao is just a power-hungry second-generation official. Because his father, Ma Qingfeng, oversees the public security in Qingyang City, he has the opportunity to act. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be worth a damn!"

Spitting on the ground, Huang Qiang continued, "At first, Ma Qingfeng did help me, but ever since Ma Tao started the Wild Dragon Gang, Ma Qingfeng has been suppressing me. Although we are related, he has profited enough from me over the years. If killing didn't require a life sentence, I would be the first to take down Ma Qingfeng!" His voice became almost shrill at the end, showing his deep hatred for Ma Qingfeng.

Chu Ying said coldly, "If you take down Ma Tao, won't you fear Ma Qingfeng's retaliation? Don't forget he's the police chief."

Huang Qiang didn't answer directly but asked, "Ma Qingfeng has long seen me as an obstacle to Ma Tao's development, but he has never dared to move against me. Do you know why, Eagle Brother?"

"I understand!" Chu Ying nodded, realizing that Huang Qiang, like Zhang Gang, must have something incriminating against Ma Qingfeng, which allowed him to survive under Ma Qingfeng's suppression.

Huang Qiang said solemnly, "As long as we take down Ma Tao's Wild Dragon Gang, the Blood Wolf Gang will pose no threat to me. Then, the entire underworld of Qingyang City will be under Eagle Brother's control!"

Chu Ying's expression changed slightly, then he shook his head and smiled, "I have a job and a steady income. I don't want to go down this path. Qingyang City will be yours in the future!"

Huang Qiang was completely taken aback by Chu Ying's words, but he was a man who repaid kindness. If Chu Ying really helped him deal with the Blood Wolf Gang, he would have no rivals in Qingyang City, "Eagle Brother, what are you saying? Even if you don't take the position, I, Huang Qiang, will still consider you my boss. In the future, one-third of my business will be your share!"

Chu Ying's eyes lit up. Although Qingyang City was just a county-level city, it was not without its profits. Industries like KTVs, bars, and internet cafes were highly profitable and closely tied to the underworld. Even a small share could bring in a million a month, and one-third would be three hundred thousand.

However, Chu Ying didn't want that much. Huang Qiang needed to develop, and he had dozens of people under him. If he unified the entire Qingyang City, he would have even more subordinates, all of whom would need money.

"I only want ten percent. The rest is yours," Chu Ying said calmly.

Huang Qiang was flustered, "Eagle Brother, this—"

Chu Ying waved his hand to interrupt Huang Qiang and smiled, "If you feel uncomfortable, I have over ten people under me who need some training. You can help arrange that for them!"

Huang Qiang laughed heartily, "Eagle Brother's brothers are my brothers!"

This conversation formed an alliance between Chu Ying and Huang Qiang, and Chu Ying officially intervened in the underworld of Qingyang City with a transcendent status.
