Since it was brought up, Li Chonglou also made a call.
Not long after, Sen Lang’s voice came from the other end of the phone: "Boss?"
"How's your brother's condition?"
Sen Lang's light laughter came from the other end of the phone: "He's fine now, boss. We're all patrolling with Brother Hei."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Sen Lang suddenly said in a low voice: "Boss, are there any other jobs to help with? It's really boring here."
Li Chonglou smiled. At this moment, Chen Pao and a few others had left as ordered, and only Yue Hai remained.
So he had no worries and said directly: "Bear with it even if you're bored. Hei Dao is also a priority. In a while, you two will probably be asking for reinforcements."
Upon hearing this, Sen Lang had nothing more to say, after all, he was the boss. However, Li Chonglou's next sentence made his expression falter.
"However, since you brought it up, it's not that there are no other tasks, it's just that..."
Before Li Chonglou could finish, Sen Lang excitedly interrupted: "No 'just'! As long as it's something we two can do, we guarantee completion!"
It seemed he was truly bored.
Li Chonglou wasn't surprised by this. Since the General Bureau intervened in Shangjing, all major gangs had been in hibernation, daring not to cause trouble. Therefore, all major factions were now quiet.
The Green Gang, as the leader of the four major gangs, was naturally no exception.
So it was inevitable that Hei Dao would be bored during this period, but it wouldn't last long!
As the saying goes, extreme things must reverse. The calmer it is now, the greater the storm will be later! This was the experience summarized by the ancestors, and Li Chonglou felt it was almost certainly true.
So it was reasonable to let the two relax, but whether they could truly relax depended on their own thoughts.
Thinking of this, Li Chonglou no longer refused and said directly: "Alright, then you two should go back to the company first."
Sen Lang on the other end of the phone was overjoyed and hung up after repeatedly expressing his thanks. Li Chonglou then looked at Yue Hai.
"When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow morning."
Yue Hai scratched the back of his head, appearing somewhat uncomfortable. Li Chonglou understood his intention and proactively said: "Then if there's nothing else, you should go back and prepare. If there's anything, tell me or notify Zhou Tong."
"Okay, Brother Li!"
Yue Hai quickly nodded and then left in a hurry, as if he was afraid that if he walked any slower, Li Chonglou would stop him to inquire about things.
"This kid actually has secrets now. I hope it's nothing bad."
To be honest, Li Chonglou was always a bit uneasy about Yue Hai. Although he had opened up, he lacked experience in dealing with matters. Having him follow Chen Pao and the others was for this reason.
He didn't expect him to have his own little secrets so soon. Although Li Chonglou was worried now, he could only let go and not interfere. After all, he was his subordinate, not a slave.
After resolving these matters, Zhou Tong suddenly appeared.
"You're still awake so late?"
Zhou Tong said, fighting off sleepiness: "I fell asleep after washing my feet. Sen Lang called me awake."
This guy!
Li Chonglou was a little speechless. It was almost two in the morning. It was normal for him to be awake because he had to guard the night shift, but Zhou Tong had to go to work normally. This guy actually turned around and asked about matters.
However, he could understand Sen Lang's feelings and didn't blame him. Instead, he apologized to Zhou Tong: "I forgot to tell him to contact you tomorrow. It's nothing, I just wanted him to come back to guard the company. I sent Chen Pao and the others out."
Zhou Tong sat on the sofa and asked doubtfully: "Did Hu Han really have an accident?"
Li Chonglou nodded, but also explained: "Something needs to be resolved, it's not what we thought."
He then briefly explained the matter. Zhou Tong's brows furrowed slightly: "After listening to you, I feel a bit uneasy. Could there be other major forces behind this? Like the eight great families?"
Li Chonglou immediately rolled his eyes: "Don't be a harbinger of doom here. That's exactly what I'm afraid of right now."
Zhou Tong said unhappily: "Who isn't afraid? Anyone who has seen a ghost is afraid of the dark. The Gao family incident has already given me psychological trauma. If we hadn't invited Elder Du back, we would have suffered a major setback this time."
When this was mentioned, Li Chonglou instinctively asked: "Has everything been handled over there now?"
"You mean the old man from the Gao family?"
Li Chonglou nodded. Zhou Tong grinned and said smugly: "This guy's reputation in his later years is ruined. Elder Du dug up his dark history, and Lantian Company was forced to terminate its cooperation with him the day before yesterday."
This was indeed a satisfying turn of events. If it weren't for inviting an expert back, he might have succeeded with his last move!
Now that he had been outmaneuvered, Li Chonglou felt extremely pleased!
However, the key was in Zhou Tong's implication: "Wait, you mean we no longer have external competition?"
Zhou Tong nodded: "No, it was today. No, it should have been yesterday, the general manager of Lantian Company personally came to seek peace."
"Although we suffered heavy losses in this competition, they were not doing well either. Both sides spent money and offered benefits, resulting in mutual destruction."
Li Chonglou understood this. His focus was not here, but on Du Tian.
His task in inviting Du Tian back was to deal with Lantian Company. It had only been a few days? The matter had already been resolved, but why had he not made any moves?
It seemed he was still helping him deal with other company matters?
Zhou Tong looked at Li Chonglou's furrowed brow and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
Li Chonglou walked over and sat opposite Zhou Tong. Their relationship was close enough for him to be candid, so Li Chonglou directly said: "I'm worried about Du Tian now."
After explaining the cooperation with Du Tian, Zhou Tong immediately sat up straight: "But, I didn't see Elder Du having such intentions. He hasn't even left his office in the company these past few days; everything was done based on the information I provided."
He hadn't even stepped out of his office, so how could he do other things? This was Zhou Tong's thinking, but he overlooked one point.
That was the experts whom he couldn't see or sense.
Li Chonglou pointed out directly: "Have you seen the few people he brought with him these past few days?"
Zhou Tong's expression froze.
Li Chonglou continued: "This guy is not an ordinary person. There is something strange suppressing his strength, which is why he appears as an ordinary person. If we talk about strength, perhaps even Xiao Hai couldn't defeat him."
Zhou Tong was clearly startled and jumped up from the sofa.
"Brother Li, are you serious?"
"But you don't need to worry too much."
