In the sauna room of the bathhouse, Chu Ying and Huang Qiang sat facing each other. The former asked, "What kind of person is Ma Qingfeng?"
The dense scars on Chu Ying's body made Huang Qiang feel a chill. After a moment of thought, he replied, "This guy is a cunning old fox, treacherous and ruthless, willing to do anything to achieve his goals, yet he is very good at flattering people and has a wide network of connections. Ma Tao's involvement in the underworld in Qingyang City is an open secret, but he still thrives, all thanks to Ma Qingfeng's protection, or more accurately, the protection of the people above Ma Qingfeng."
Chu Ying remained silent, pondering whether his decision to refuse Ma Qingfeng's meeting was a mistake. As the saying goes, a cornered dog will jump over a wall, and Ma Qingfeng is a much more dangerous old fox than a dog. What kind of underhanded tactics will he use against me?
Three days is enough time to do many things, even to turn the current situation around. However, it doesn't mean that the situation, which is almost predetermined, can definitely be changed. As long as Chu Ying can figure out what methods Ma Qingfeng will use, he can nip the problem in the bud and suppress the counterattack of the Ma family.
After much thought, Chu Ying believed that it was unrealistic for Ma Qingfeng to directly target him. Ma Qingfeng must have considered this point as well. Therefore, if the Ma family takes any action, they will likely use the people around Chu Ying as leverage.
But then again, Chu Ying thought it was also unrealistic because there were only three days left, and Ma Qingfeng had a lot to do. He wouldn't pin his hopes on Chu Ying returning the diary and the gun. For this reason, Ma Qingfeng had to make the most thorough preparations and the worst-case plans.
"Brother Ying, are you still thinking about the Blood Wolf Gang? Don't worry, we'll know the moment we get any news!" Seeing Chu Ying deep in thought, Huang Qiang patted his chest and guaranteed.
Chu Ying shook his head, "I'm thinking about Ma Tao."
From the movements of the Blood Wolf Gang's leader, Blood Wolf, two conclusions can be drawn: either this leader with a domineering name is a naturally cruel and sinister person, or he is a coward who fears death, otherwise, he wouldn't hide so deeply.
Regardless of what kind of person Blood Wolf is, he won't make any moves without a solid plan. Now that Ma Tao is in trouble, he definitely doesn't have the time or the mind to think about unifying the underworld in Qingyang City. Under these circumstances, the Blood Wolf Gang won't make any moves either.
"Ma Tao? Thinking about him, Brother Ying, you might as well think about women!" Huang Qiang's expression changed, and he said half-jokingly.
Chu Ying took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I have a feeling that Ma Tao will make a move in the next three days. He will either launch a fierce attack on your Tiger Gang or flee. So you need to keep a close eye on him and make sure he doesn't escape from Qingyang City!"
Huang Qiang's expression became even more astonished, and he said doubtfully, "That's impossible! Even if Ma Tao commits a grave crime, his father will cover for him. As long as Ma Qingfeng is in his position, no one in Qingyang City will dare to touch Ma Tao. If he leaves Qingyang City, Ma Tao won't amount to anything. He's not a fool, right?"
Chu Ying shook his head and said slowly, "The situation is different now. Just do as I say, and the most important thing is to prevent him from leaving Qingyang City."
Huang Qiang nodded, seeming to understand, and frowned, "How do you plan to deal with the Ma family?"
Chu Ying's lips curled into a cold smile, and he said in a chilling tone, "What I want is simple: Ma Tao's life!"
It's not a big deal to offend him, but it's absolutely unacceptable to offend his brothers or women. Ma Tao not only offended Chu Ying's brother Huanzi but also offended Ling Siyi, who is about to become his woman. This is absolutely intolerable!
The temperature in the sauna room was extremely high, but Huang Qiang still felt a chill run up from his feet to his head, making his forehead break out in a cold sweat. He could sense the killing intent emanating from Chu Ying.
Chu Ying smiled and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Is there anything fun to do in the city?"
Huang Qiang immediately showed a strange smile and said with a chuckle, "Seeing that Brother Ying is in a bad mood today, how about finding a couple of girls to let off some steam? There are a few women here who are quite skilled!"
Chu Ying laughed and was about to refuse, but then he thought of Li Dong and the others, so he said, "You go and arrange it. Don't worry about me. I need to think things through. Remember to take good care of the brothers I brought."
The purpose of this trip to Qingyang City was not only to let Li Dong and the others see the real underworld but also to let them experience the life of a gangster firsthand. Only in this way could they be influenced from the depths of their hearts and set personal goals for themselves.
Transforming these delinquents is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Chu Ying didn't want to rush them but needed them to go through a gradual process. When they truly realize what they want, they should strive for their goals.
Looking at Chu Ying, who was covering his face with a towel, Huang Qiang's expression changed, and he turned and left the sauna room.
Leaving the bathhouse, it was almost six in the evening. Chu Ying said he had something to do and asked Huang Qiang to continue "entertaining" Li Dong and the others. In fact, he secretly told Huang Qiang to find something for Li Dong and the others to do. Huang Qiang wasn't stupid and understood that Chu Ying wanted to train these people, so he readily agreed.
Chu Ying told Li Dong to meet back at the same place in an hour, bid farewell to everyone, and drove away.
On the way, he called Zhang Hua and asked him to wait at the police station's residential building. This was another purpose of his trip to Qingyang City. It had been a day, and Wang Changyuan seemed to have made no moves, which puzzled him. Could this guy be planning to miss this great opportunity to advance?
But he couldn't directly ask Wang Changyuan about this, as it would give Wang Changyuan the wrong impression or even allow him to seize on Chu Ying's eagerness to bring down Zhang Gang and Ma Qingfeng. In that case, Chu Ying would go from being the active party to the passive one, a situation he didn't want.
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the police station's residential building, and Zhang Hua was already waiting there, though he wasn't standing still but pacing back and forth, showing his anxiety.
Chu Ying got out of the car and asked straightforwardly, "What happened?"
Zhang Hua rushed forward and said urgently, "It's bad! Did Ma Tao come to see you today? Did he bring two guns?"
Chu Ying nodded and frowned, "If it's bad, it's bad for Ma Tao. Why are you so anxious?"
Zhang Hua sighed, "Your girlfriend handed the guns to Chief Tian, causing a huge stir. The city leaders ordered Chief Tian to take full responsibility for the case and investigate it thoroughly!"
Pausing, Zhang Hua continued, "In other words, Chief Wang's credit was completely taken by Chief Tian!"
Chu Ying's expression changed. He hadn't thought of this step before. Wen Jing's actions were too quick, and she hadn't consulted him beforehand. It seemed he needed to reconsider the situation.
"The guns belong to Ma Tao, and with Ma Qingfeng's capabilities, he should be able to handle this. But the diary is fatal. If Wang Changyuan hands over the diary, wouldn't that also be a great achievement?" Chu Ying pondered and asked.
Zhang Hua smiled bitterly, "Chief Tian is the official head of the police station. If Wang Changyuan steps in now, it would be like opposing Chief Tian. Politics isn't that simple."
Seeing that Chu Ying was silent, Zhang Hua delivered another shocking piece of news, "Ma Tao has been arrested!"
