Chapter 179 The Skills of an Old Man
"So do we need to do anything?" the deputy asked cautiously.

"No need." Kanta smiled, "But if you feel bored, you can go to the East District and put some pressure on Xi Mihua's people."

At this moment, the situation in the East District really became lively. Xi Mihua's men were busy restoring the operation of the place, but they vaguely felt that there were more unfamiliar faces around. These faces did not speak or place bets, but just sat quietly in the corner, as if observing something.

"Who are these people?" Xiao Wu looked at Chen Bing with a frown.

"I don't know." Chen Bing was also puzzled. "But, they shouldn't be Su Hanze's people. They look like outsiders."

"Outsiders?" Xiao Wu was shocked. "Could it be someone from Kanta?"

"No matter who he is, we just need to do our own thing." Chen Bing waved his hand. "Brother Hua means that we should hold on to the situation and ignore those messy people."

On the other side, Lu Dongpi and A Bing were watching the screen in a secret monitoring room. A Bing chewed betel nut and smacked his lips while saying, "Brother Pi, look at those people. They are obviously not Xi Mihua's people, nor do they look like our people. What are they doing?"

"What? What else can I do? Just watch the fun." Lu Dongpi said lazily, "But you see, there are more and more people in Xi Mihua's place now, both openly and secretly. This game is about to get exciting."

"Should we tell Brother Ze?" A Bing asked.

"No need." Lu Dongpi grinned, "Brother Ze has seen through it a long time ago. These people are here to cause trouble. If we watch for a few more days, we will be able to close the net."

Night falls again, and the lights of Haojiang illuminate the city like stars. Xi Mihua stands on the top floor of an old building, overlooking the East District, with a cigarette in his mouth and complex emotions in his eyes.

"Brother Hua, our brothers are all here." Xiao Wu stepped forward and whispered, "However, those unfamiliar faces are still in the field and are not making any moves."

"It's best if you don't make any moves." Xi Mihua exhaled a puff of smoke and sneered, "They wait, and I wait too. There will always be someone who can't help but take action."

On the terrace of the stadium, Su Hanze also stood high up, quietly looking at the East District in the night. His eyes were calm, like a chess player, waiting for his opponent's next reaction.

"In this game of Jianghu, whoever is impatient will lose." He murmured in a low voice, with a meaningful smile on his lips.

The night in Haojiang is getting more and more noisy, and the gossips in the streets and alleys are floating around like the night wind. In every tea restaurant, there are neighbors chatting happily.

"Have you heard? Xi Mihua's business is back!" A middle-aged man wearing sunglasses waved his barbecued pork buns vigorously, saying with great excitement, "This time they are really going all out. I heard the prices of goods have doubled!"

"Why do you care whether the goods double in price or not?" Another middle-aged woman took a sip of milk tea and said with disdain, "His men hang around in the East District every day. If they step on Su Hanze's landmine one day, they will explode directly."

"Su Hanze has already given him face by letting him live this long." A young man took over the conversation, his tone full of confidence, "Just wait and see, how many days can this place last?"

In a yard in the East District, Xiao Wu was nervously checking the trucks coming and going at the back door, his eyes occasionally scanning the men in black standing upright next to him. He pulled Chen Bing's sleeve and whispered, "These people don't look like us. Are we really okay?"

"What are you afraid of?" Chen Bing waved his hand impatiently. "This is arranged by Brother Hua. We just need to do our job. Besides, do they dare to cause trouble?"

"But it's also scary that they just stand there without saying anything." Xiao Wu scratched his head, "It's like they're waiting for us to make a mistake."

"Then don't make any mistakes." Chen Bing patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder. "Brother Hua is right. Just hold on to the show and don't worry about anything else."

At the same time, Lu Dongpi was sitting in an inconspicuous van, chewing melon seeds and watching the surveillance screen. He pointed at a figure on the screen and smiled with melon seed shells all over his mouth: "Look at this, he has been standing all night, don't his legs feel sore?"

"Brother Pi, who are those people?" A Bing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but ask, "They don't look like Xi Mihua's people, nor do they look like Kanta's people."

"No matter who they are, they are here to entertain us." Lu Dongpi shook off the melon seed shells and said in a relaxed tone, "As long as they don't cause trouble, let them watch. It's all free stage anyway."

In the stadium, Su Hanze was meeting with He Qun and the first wife. He Qun took a sip of tea elegantly and looked up at Su Hanze: "Aze, the situation in the East District is getting more and more chaotic. Isn't it time for you to close the net?"

"Wait a little longer." Su Hanze's eyes were calm, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table. "Xi Mihua hasn't completely jumped out yet. His current actions are all testing us."

"But the longer he tests, the more opportunities Kanta has." The eldest wife put down her teacup, her tone gentle but revealing deep meaning, "Kanta's people have begun to frequently enter and leave the East District. He wants to wait for us to fight Xi Mihua to the death so that he can reap the benefits."

"I know Kanta's plan." Su Hanze smiled softly, "The more he wants to take advantage of others, the more we have to muddy the waters."

"What are your plans?" He Qun asked curiously.

"It's very simple." Su Hanze stood up, walked to the window, and looked towards the East District in the distance. "Let the people from East Beer go to the East District to spread the news that a batch of goods from the Golden Triangle will pass through Ximihua's yard."

"Fake?" He Qun raised his eyebrows.

"Of course." Su Hanze raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "But Kanta and Xi Mihua can't tell the real thing from the fake, so they will definitely snatch it. This snatch will reveal the flaw."

At night, the atmosphere in the East District seemed more tense than during the day. Xiao Wu suddenly received a call from an unfamiliar number. A deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm telling you, Brother Hua, there is a batch of goods that will pass through the East District. It's not light. Whether he wants to move it depends on whether he dares."

Xiao Wu hung up the phone, his face turned pale, and he quickly ran to find Xi Mihua: "Brother Hua, this is bad, someone said that there will be goods crossing the border tonight, and it's from the Golden Triangle!"

"Golden Triangle?" Xi Mihua frowned, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, "Are you sure the information is reliable?"

"They didn't leave their name, but their tone sounded like they were deliberately trying to trick us." Xiao Wu swallowed, "Brother Hua, should we move?"

Xi Mihua pondered for a moment and sneered: "Move? Of course. Even if it's fake, we have to pretend it's real. Let the brothers go all out. This time, we have to force Su Hanze to show up!"

At this moment, Kanta's deputy also hurried over and handed over a piece of intelligence: "Mr. Kanta, there is news from the East District that a batch of goods from the Golden Triangle passed by Xi Mihua's yard tonight."

"Interesting." Kanta smiled slightly, "Will Xi Mihua move?"

"He should." The deputy whispered, "But this may also be Su Hanzeb's plan." "It doesn't matter." Kanta picked up the wine glass and shook it gently, "Send someone to the East District to keep an eye on it. Don't interfere. Just watch the show first."

The night in the East District was getting deeper and deeper, but the place was getting more and more lively. Xi Mihua's men were ready for battle, and the eyes hidden in the dark were getting more and more intense. Everyone knew that the situation in Haojiang was about to become more intense that night.

In the monitoring room of the stadium, Su Hanze quietly watched the screen with a sharp gaze. He knew that the game had been set, and now he just had to wait, waiting for his opponent to fall into his trap step by step.

The air in the East District was filled with a hint of tension. Everyone was looking forward to the appearance of the rumored "Golden Triangle Goods". Xi Mihua sat in the warehouse behind the venue, with a cup of almost cold Tieguanyin in front of him. He stared at the screen of his mobile phone, as if waiting for some important news at any time.

"Xiao Wu, have you arranged everything?" Xi Mihua put down his phone, speaking in a low voice.

"Brother Hua, everything has been arranged. There are brothers guarding every point, and no one can slip away from under our noses!" Xiao Wu answered confidently, but a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Very good." Xi Mihua nodded, with a hint of sneer on his face. "If Su Hanze dares to move this time, let him see what the old tricks are."

At the same time, Su Hanze was sitting on the terrace of the stadium, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand. A Bing stood beside him, chewing betel nut and muttering, "Brother Ze, this game is well planned. Xi Mihua is fully prepared. All that's left is to get the goods from the Golden Triangle out!"

"The more nervous he is, the more flaws he will reveal." Su Hanze took a sip of tea, his eyes deep, "However, the key to this scene is not Xi Mihua, but Kanta."

"Kanta?" A Bing was stunned. "Isn't he watching the show?"

"The people who watch the show are the most dangerous." Su Hanze said softly, "He is waiting for both us and Xi Mihua to lose, and then he will clean up the mess himself."

"Then let's give him a good show!" Ah Bing laughed, "I've sent someone to pass on the false news. Kanta will definitely be unable to hold back."

At this moment, Kanta's phone rang. He picked up the phone and after listening to his subordinates' report, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Su Hanze is an interesting guy. He actually wanted to use fake news to hook me. However, since he gave me the opportunity, I won't be polite."

"Sir, what you mean is..." the deputy asked tentatively.

"Let someone intervene, ostensibly to help Xi Mihua keep an eye on the goods, but actually to keep an eye on his people. If this is a setup, let Xi Mihua jump in first, and then we'll decide whether to take action." Kanta put down his wine glass gracefully with a relaxed tone.

The night in the East District gradually deepened, but the lights in the venue were brighter than usual. Xiao Wu patrolled the back alley and couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "It's almost midnight, will the goods arrive?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Chen Bing patted his shoulder. "For things like this, patience is needed. Didn't Brother Hua say that we have to hold on until the last moment this time?"

"But I always feel that something is wrong..." Xiao Wu was about to say something else when a brother hurried over and reported in a low voice: "Brother Wu, there are a few more cars outside. They don't look like they are delivering goods. They look like people from Kanta."

"Kanta's people?" Xiao Wu's face changed. "Why are they involved?"

At the same time, Lu Dongpi was hiding in a small van, chewing his favorite braised chicken feet. He looked at the screen and laughed so hard that he slapped his thigh: "Look at this game, it's getting more and more lively! Kanta's people came to join in the fun. I'm afraid Xi Mihua will be furious this time."

"Brother Beer, should we add more fuel to the fire?" Ah Quan asked from the side.

"Add fire? How?" Lu Dongpi said while chewing chicken feet, "Our brother Ze's plan is the fire. Now we are just waiting to see how fiercely they burn."

On the other side, the first wife and He Qun were sitting in the VIP room of the venue. The first wife sipped her tea elegantly and said softly, "Aze's plan this time is very interesting, but did he underestimate Kanta's reaction speed?"

"No." He Qun smiled. "Aze knows very well that the faster Kanta moves, the easier it is to reveal his true intention. This game of chess is to make Kanta and Xi Mihua hinder each other."

"But if that happens, Aze will be under more pressure." The eldest wife's tone was filled with a hint of worry.

"Isn't this what makes Jianghu games interesting?" He Qun said with a faint smile, "Aze is a good chess player. He won't let the situation get out of control easily."

The clock struck midnight, and the atmosphere in the East District became even more tense. Xi Mihua's cell phone finally rang, and he hurriedly picked up the call. After listening to the call, his face suddenly turned pale.

"Brother Hua, this is bad!" Xiao Wu ran over, panting, "We just found a group of strangers entering the area. They are not our people!"

"Do I need you to tell me that?" Xi Mihua gritted his teeth, "It's obvious that these people want to invade our territory! Let's get ready, brothers. No matter who comes, if they dare to move, we will beat them down!"

The night in the East District seemed longer than usual. The brothers in the field looked around vigilantly and couldn't help but whisper. The tense atmosphere was like a taut string, and no one dared to relax.

Xiao Wu paced back and forth at the back door of the venue, his face clearly showing anxiety. He leaned close to Chen Bing's ear and whispered, "Brother Bing, the atmosphere here doesn't seem right. Have we fallen into a trap?"

Chen Bing held a toothpick in his mouth and waved his hand impatiently: "Don't scare yourself. Brother Hua said that tonight is your chance, hold on!"

"But Kanta's people are also hanging around..." Xiao Wu scratched his head, "Are they here to help us, or to cause trouble?"

"Who knows?" Chen Bing snorted coldly, "No matter what they do, Brother Hua asked us to guard them, so we will guard them. It's none of our business to worry about other things."

At the same time, Kanta's deputy was hiding in the dark, reporting the situation through the headset: "Sir, our people have already sneaked into the periphery of the venue, and Xi Mihua's men are all on alert. It seems that they really believe that the goods will come."

Kanta sat in a luxurious box, twirling a glass of red wine in his hands. After listening to the report, he smiled softly and said, "Let them guard it. The more nervous Xi Mihua is, the more it shows that he is panicking. We won't move and let him reveal himself."

"But, what if Su Hanze also has arrangements..." the deputy suggested cautiously.

"I can see clearly what Su Hanze is planning." Kanta took a sip of wine. "He wanted to use Xi Mihua as a target to test our reaction, but he didn't expect that we wouldn't even hit the target."

In the monitoring room of the venue, A Bing was staring at the screen, chewing betel nut and muttering: "Brother Ze, is this game too complicated? The people from Kanta are almost surrounding the East District into a tourist attraction, and Xi Mihua is still guarding it stupidly. What are these two sides doing?"
