  Xiao Yu walked closer and took a look, indeed, Xiao Qing's hand was grasping the military dagger, although her hand had no strength, she still grasped the dagger tightly, as if this dagger was her life.

  Her eyes were wide open, although she knew this was Xiao Yu's store, but the surrounding environment made her feel very strange, as if only the military knife was her reliance.

  "Xiao Qing, can you let go of it for now? It's safe here, we don't need it." Xiao Yu's voice appeared beside her ear, his voice warm and reassuring.

  For some reason, she faintly felt that Xiao Yu had become the only person besides her master who made her feel a sense of closeness.

  Xiao Yu's gentle face appeared in front of Xiao Qing, looking at Xiao Yu's clear eyes, Xiao Qing loosened his grip on the dagger, and Xiao Yu lightly placed it beside Xiao Qing's pillow.

  "Xiao Yu, who... what kind of person is this girl? Why is she still carrying a weapon?" Zhou Xin called Xiao Yu to one side and asked with some lingering fear.

  "Oh, Little Xin sister, her name is Xiao Qing, she practices martial arts, don't worry, she won't get hurt, she's a bit physically weak, tomorrow let Xiaodao make something easy to digest and nutritious for her to eat."

  Zhou Xin nodded and said, "Got it, Little Yu. I'll take good care of her. Let me go get some water first to help her wipe down, so she can rest well... This is a girl's room, you should leave first!"

  After finishing speaking, he pushed Xiao Yu out of the room.

  Xiao Yu couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, he was actually driven out, but it's also good this way, with Zhou Xin taking care of Xiao Qing by her side, he could also feel at ease doing his own things.

  "Xiao Yu!"

  A voice called out from a short distance away. Xiaoyu turned his head to look, and saw Xiao Dao standing at the staircase entrance, beckoning him over with a sly expression.

  "Little knife, what's the matter?" Xiao Yu walked up to him and looked him up and down, thinking that this little guy had a sly look in his eyes and was definitely not up to any good.

  "Xiao Yu, where did this chick come from? Do you two have...?" Seeing no one around, Xiao Dao got straight to the point.

  Xiao Yu slapped him on the head, "Didn't we all say that she's just my friend? Now she's sick and recuperating at my place, how can you think of such a dirty thing!"

  Xiao Dao covered his head and saw that Xiao Yu was a bit angry, so he didn't dare to make any more jokes. To be honest, sometimes he felt a little intimidated by this younger brother.

  "Xiao Dao, Xiao Qing is feeling weak now. Tomorrow make her something delicious and easy to digest to nourish her a bit, got it?" Little Yu was afraid Zhou Xin would forget this matter, so since Xiao Dao was here, he specially mentioned it again.

  "Don't worry, can't you trust my skills? I guarantee she'll be so satisfied that she won't want to leave!"

  Xiao Yu was delighted, "That's great, ah, by the way, I didn't see my godfather downstairs just now?"

  "Uncle Gan? Oh, at 6 o'clock he received a phone call, seemingly from the neighborhood committee, saying that his house is going to be demolished and asked him to attend a meeting!"

  "Demolition?" Xiaoyu was stunned, the house opposite the market is going to be demolished? Could it be that what the fat policeman said when they registered their household last time was true?

  Pudong Hilton Hotel

  From 4 pm onwards, the service staff at the hotel entrance were somewhat nervous and frightened, unsure of what was going to happen here today.

  Only saw a group of people with weird and scary faces getting out of luxury cars, surrounded by bodyguards, and walking into the hotel one after another.

  Some of them were dressed in suits and ties, while others looked unkempt. Some were dressed like nouveau riche, while others were indistinguishable from street thugs. However, the bodyguards beside them all looked like tough guys, with sharp eyes and an aura of menace.

  These service staff are not inexperienced, usually they don't know how many guests they need to receive, but with just one glance, they can tell how much RMB is in their pockets, so for the guests who came today, they naturally have a rough idea.

  However, they all knew that at this moment it was best to work more and talk less, otherwise who knows when there would be a few fewer parts on their bodies.

  In the conference room on the fourth floor, more than half of the people were already seated beside the rectangular conference table. These people were smoking heavily, making the conference room hazy and smoky, while those bodyguards had vanished without a trace.

  At the head of the conference table sat an old man with a white beard, about sixty or seventy years old, although his hair was all white, he was still spirited and sharp-eyed.

  On the left side of the old man with a white beard, a stout man in his forties or fifties was sitting, speaking to the old man with a white beard with great enthusiasm.

  If Little Yu were here, he would definitely recognize that this fat man was the chairman of Wantong Group, Han Biao, whom he met at Jinjiang Paradise last time.

  "I'm telling you, Old Jin, that Dragon Flying kid has been getting too out of hand lately. He's swallowed up the 'White Gang' just like that, and that lecher Liu is still nowhere to be found even now. The backbone of his underlings have all been killed off by Dragon Flying, if we let him continue to develop like this, he'll be pissing on our heads soon."

  Han Biao's words immediately resonated with many people. Sitting to the right of the old man with a white beard was a middle-aged man with a gold tooth and wearing a floral shirt, who nodded frequently after hearing Han Biao's words, saying, "Brother Biao is right, Long Fei is ruthless in his actions. From what I know, Cai Baozi from the 'Cabbage Head Gang' in Minhang was killed by someone sent by him at a bath center."

  This 'Big Golden Tooth' is Wu Kui, the boss of Hongkou's 'Golden Dragon Gang', and also a ruthless figure in Shanghai's underworld.

  Han Biao and Wu Kui are both senior figures in the underworld, they scolded Long Fei's injustice, suddenly other big brothers also became emotionally agitated, some even started scolding their mothers.

  The old man with a white beard sitting in the top position, however, had his eyes slightly closed, and there was no emotional fluctuation on his face.

  "Hmm, no wonder I kept sneezing just now. So many people are scolding me, huh?" A gloomy voice sounded from the doorway.

  Everyone turned their heads to look, a man in his thirties with a hawk-like nose was standing at the door of the conference room, scanning the crowd with a cold gaze. Those whose eyes met his couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines, and the insults that were about to be spoken were swallowed back down.

  Long Fei slowly walked to the other side of the conference table and sat down in the position opposite the old man with a white beard, and everyone's faces changed.

  "Dragon fly! How dare you! Is this seat also available?" A bald middle-aged man nearby shouted.

  "Huh? Why can't I sit down? Whose territory is bigger than mine now? Who has more men than me? Wang Tuzi, the 'Hei Shui Gang' is right next to my territory. Believe it or not, I'll make a call and have my men take over their nest right now! It's perfect timing to unify Changning District!"

  "!" Wang Tuizi was furious, and at the same time, he felt a wave of fear in his heart. The "Hei Shui Gang" he belonged to was located in Changning District, and Long Fei's "Hei Long Hui" headquarters was also in Changning District, near Hongqiao. Normally, there were constant frictions between the two gangs. With Long Fei's absorption of "Cai Tou Hui" and "Bai Gang", it was natural that he could swallow up "Hei Shui Gang" at once.

  "Wang Tu-zi, don't be discouraged. If Long Fei dares to attack the 'Hei Shui Gang', I'll immediately send someone over to help!" Han Biao stood up, he had long been displeased with Long Fei and seeing him brazenly wanting to annex the 'Hei Shui Gang', naturally wanted to support Wang Tu-zi.

  "Right! Wang Tuzi, I can support two or three hundred brothers, no problem!" Wu Kui saw Han Biao take a stand and immediately stood with him.

  Seeing the two big brothers speaking up, several other gang leaders stood up to support Wang Tuzi. Wang Tuzi suddenly felt a surge of courage and puffed out his chest, his eyes fixed on Long Fei with a defiant glare, full of provocative meaning. "You think you're tough? Let's fight and see!"

  Long Fei didn't expect so many people to help Wang Tuzi, even if he was bold and daring, he wouldn't dare offend the crowd. He laughed and said, "I was just joking, is it that serious? Besides, this position is directly under the air conditioner, I've had a bit of a cold these past few days, afraid of the draft, let's switch positions instead."

  After finishing speaking, he left his seat with a huff and sat down on one side.

  Seeing Long Fei's softened expression, these big shots were finally satisfied and exchanged a glance with each other before sitting down in their seats.

  "Alright, now that everyone is here, let's get started with the meeting!" The old man with a white beard finally spoke up.

  This white-bearded old man surnamed Jin, he is one of the Shanghai underworld's elder statesmen, among these people, his qualifications are the oldest, his underling 'Green Gang', is also one of the most powerful gangs in Shanghai.

  So every time the gang held a meeting, he would take the seat of the host.

  As soon as Jin Lao spoke up, the venue immediately fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to his location.

  "According to reliable sources, the police's next crackdown will start from next month."

  As soon as the old man spoke, the faces of the people below changed color. Generally speaking, the police's severe crackdowns are always followed by a pause, with a two or three-year break in between. But last year's crackdown had just ended, and now another round has started? Is this still allowing people to live?

  Jin Lao looked at the faces of everyone and continued, "I have long warned you all that we must get rid of those shady businesses from our past and transform as soon as possible. Otherwise, every time there is a crackdown, it will hurt us to the bone. Recently, the country has been cracking down on black societies with great force, and what happened in Chongqing is a good example. We can't wait until the knife is at our throat before carefully considering the development path of our gang, that would be too late!"

  "Old Jin said it! The recent underground casino business has also become more and more difficult to do, several of my points have been raided by the police, losing tens of millions!" Wu Kui angrily pounded the table with his fist.

  "That's right! Our 'Hei Shui Gang' drug business hasn't been going smoothly either. Several times when we went to pick up goods, the police ambushed us!" Wang Tuizi glared at Long Fei with suspicion, thinking that it was probably Long Fei who had intentionally leaked their pickup location to the police.

  Long Fei took out a nail clipper and calmly trimmed his nails, completely ignoring Wang Tuzi.

  "We should all learn from Han Biao, isn't his real estate business doing very well? He earns more than any of us, and is not affected by the strict crackdown at all. We don't lack funds in our hands either. In fact, there are many legitimate businesses worth doing, it's just that we haven't found a way yet." Jin Lao smiled and nodded to Han Biao in encouragement.

  Han Biao laughed and said, "Old Jin is overpraising me. In fact, I just took a step ahead of everyone else, it's not a big deal. Doing business in the right way isn't difficult at all. If we people from the underworld were to do it, it would be even easier. Many things can be solved in secret using our methods, and on the surface, we have a respectable identity. Old Jin, don't be modest, I'm likely to be elected as a member of the Municipal Political Consultative Conference this year. At that time, those police officers will only be able to nod their heads and bow to me!"

  "Ah!~~~~~~~"

  Everyone present looked at each other with envy, casting admiring glances at Han Biao. The underworld boss had actually become a member of the Municipal Political Consultative Conference, something that they dared not even think about. Many bosses secretly wondered if they should also find some legitimate business to do and become a political consultative conference member themselves.

  Long Fei gave Han Biao a disdainful look and snorted, continuing to trim his fingernails.

  Jin Lao nodded at Han Biao again, looking at the crowd and continuing, "This matter will be put on hold for now. The next thing is about the disputes between gangs. I reiterate that in the near future, gang mergers are not allowed. This will only attract police attention and bring disaster to our Shanghai underworld. Only if we unite and present a united front can we survive the police crackdown. However, there are still people who treat my words as nothing but rumors!"

  At this point, Jin Lao's expression turned serious, and his two eyes shot towards Long Fei like two sharp knives.
