Han Shifei's eyes were sharp, filled with aggressive glints.
In this moment, the 'King Han' who had disappeared for only a few minutes reappeared, exuding an overwhelming aura of dominance, as if his cultivation was profound and he could control it effortlessly.
He was indeed the biggest figure in Yongnan County's underground grey economy. Ordinary people would have been intimidated by this aura alone.
But Qin Chuan paid no heed. Having lived two lives, his actual age was no less than Han Shifei's. He had experienced countless situations like this in his previous life.
If he hadn't felt a slight gap in strength between himself and Han Shifei, Qin Chuan would have already had this person thrown out!
To act arrogant in front of him was truly like a centenarian hanging himself, not wanting to live anymore!
Therefore, after Han Shifei finished speaking, Qin Chuan immediately struck back.
"Brother Han, is there something wrong with what I'm doing?"
"I brought down the Guo family myself, without any help from anyone. I get to decide the fate of the Guo family's businesses!"
Qin Chuan said coldly.
"If I wasn't uninterested in the flesh trade, do you think anyone in this county town today could monopolize it?"
Qin Chuan slowly explained a simple principle, and then, without waiting for Han Shifei to speak, continued.
"Now, by giving up those flesh trade businesses, the only thing I'm doing is asking for a little renovation fee from those who want to open hotel businesses. This small request, no matter how you look at it, isn't excessive!"
"Furthermore..."
Qin Chuan paused here, his gaze fixed on Han Shifei.
"Among the businesses the Guo family was involved in, there were also illegal casinos and loan sharking. I haven't touched any of these, letting those hidden individuals profit. Is this not being merciful enough?"
"Strictly speaking, I am their great benefactor, because without me, they wouldn't have been able to secure those businesses!"
"Heh!!"
After Qin Chuan finished speaking, a light chuckle was heard. Han Shifei, sitting on the sofa, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled.
The area between the two men became hazy, enveloped in smoke.
"Qin Chuan, listening to you, you've really done a great deed for our county town."
Han Shifei's voice was ethereal and unfathomable, making it impossible to gauge his true thoughts.
"I wouldn't call it a great deed, but one thing is clear: I've increased income for more people!"
Qin Chuan replied.
"Then... what if I said that the Guo family was merely a dog of mine..."
Suddenly, Han Shifei slowly uttered.
Qin Chuan, who had been calm, finally showed a change in his expression for the first time. His pupils contracted violently, like an animal encountering a strong threat, its fur standing on end.
The information conveyed by this sentence was too overwhelming, too much to bear.
And just as Qin Chuan's expression changed drastically, Han Shifei stood up from the sofa, adopting a condescending posture, looking down at Qin Chuan.
"Brother Qin, do you know?"
"Actually, the person who lost the most when you brought down the Guo family was me!"
Han Shifei's voice was eerie, like a call from hell, his breath hitting Qin Chuan's forehead.
"Originally, my subordinates suggested that you disappear. After all, you've gone too far this time! You should have been sent to your grave!"
"But I stopped them in the end!"
"Do you know why?"
Qin Chuan shook his head, his face pale.
"Because I recognized your intelligence. Compared to those idiots in the Guo family, you are many times stronger!"
"If we cooperate, we'll be a truly perfect partnership!"
"And you won't just make money in real estate, but in other fields as well!"
"I'll give you three days to consider. Give me your answer when you've made up your mind!"
After Han Shifei finished speaking, he walked out of the corrugated iron room. Shortly after, a Mercedes-Benz and two Wranglers quickly drove away.
"Boss!"
"Boss, what's wrong?"
After Han Shifei and his entourage left, Zheng Chengdao, Bai Xiaoguang, and Yao Dong quickly entered the corrugated iron room. They were very curious about what their boss had discussed with Han Shifei.
But upon entering, the three saw their boss sitting blankly on the sofa, motionless, as if his soul had left his body.
This scared them greatly. Since they had been following Qin Chuan, they had never seen him with such an expression.
"I'm fine..."
Fortunately, at this moment, Qin Chuan's spirit returned, and he said softly. Zheng Chengdao, Yao Dong, and Bai Xiaoguang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Qin Chuan's next words soon shocked the three of them.
"Do you know that the Guo family was actually just a dog of Han Shifei?"
The three looked at each other, wide-eyed.
"Boss, where did you get this information?"
Zheng Chengdao asked.
"Yes, we've been in the county town for so long, and this is the first time we've heard something so shocking!"
Qin Chuan replied, "Han Shifei told me himself just now!"
"What?!"
Faced with this news, Zheng Chengdao, Bai Xiaoguang, and Yao Dong were all stunned.
"Then, boss, what exactly did Han Shifei want when he came here?"
Yao Dong asked anxiously.
Zheng Chengdao and Bai Xiaoguang also stared intently at Qin Chuan, awaiting the final answer.
Hearing Yao Dong's question, a vortex seemed to swirl in the depths of Qin Chuan's pitch-black eyes, and he sneered, "What else could he want? He wants me to be his dog!"
"The Guo family was originally Han Shifei's dog. Now that the Guo family is in trouble because of me, this position will be taken by me!"
"He's only giving me three days!"
The atmosphere in the corrugated iron room became deathly silent. After a long while, a barrage of curses erupted. Both Zheng Chengdao, Yao Dong, and Bai Xiaoguang were enraged.
"Boss, you absolutely cannot agree!"
"This guy named Han, I knew he wasn't coming for anything good!"
"You son of a bitch, does he really think he can do whatever he wants in this county town? If you piss me off, I'll risk my life and take him down by myself!"
"We're all human, with two shoulders supporting a head. I don't believe his brain is harder than a knife!"
Seeing his three enraged generals with flushed faces, Qin Chuan felt a surge of relief.
He could tell that Zheng Chengdao, Bai Xiaoguang, and Yao Dong truly cared about him, fearing that he would be controlled by Han Shifei and end up like the Guo family.
"This Han Shifei is forcing me to become his enemy!"
"Originally, I didn't want to confront this old rogue so soon, as I'm just getting started. But since they've bullied me to my doorstep, if I don't react, I'll be slaughtered!"
Qin Chuan said slowly, his voice extremely cold.
Hearing his words, Zheng Chengdao, Bai Xiaoguang, and Yao Dong's eyes lit up. It was clear from his words that he intended to challenge Han Shifei.
They were all fearless individuals. They had played a significant role in bringing down the Guo family before. This time, Qin Chuan was going to wrestle with Han Shifei, which was truly exciting!
"Boss, just give us your orders, and we guarantee to complete the mission!"
Yao Dong took the lead, his dark face filled with excitement and determination.
"Are we going for a battle of wits or a battle of strength?"
Zheng Chengdao also asked. The usually calm him now had a fiery glow burning in his eyes, a glow of excitement.
As for Bai Xiaoguang, there was no need to mention him; he was constantly licking his lips with his crimson tongue...
