After everyone left with excitement and ambition, only Chen Feng and Da Zhuang remained in the office.

Chen Feng lit the cigarette he had been holding for a long time, took a deep drag, and the smoke he exhaled shimmered and changed in the sunlight.

"Dazhuang, go and bring Tietou in."

"Yes."

A few minutes later, Tie Tou was brought in.

Compared to his spirited core brothers just now, Tie Tou's state can only be described as "a stray dog".

Although he had changed into clean clothes, he was hunched over, his eyes darting around, and he dared not look directly at Chen Feng.

Last night, he personally killed his elder brother who had followed him for over a decade. The psychological impact and fear he experienced left him like a frightened bird.

"sit."

Chen Feng pointed to the chair opposite him, his tone flat, revealing neither joy nor anger.

Tie Tou sat down cautiously, only daring to touch half of the chair with his bottom, and placed his hands awkwardly on his knees.

"Brother Feng...you were looking for me?"

"How was it? Did you sleep well last night?"

Chen Feng fiddled with the lighter in his hand, the "click, click" sound particularly jarring in the quiet room.

Tie Tou shuddered and said with a wry smile:

"Brother Feng is joking, I... how can I sleep? Every time I close my eyes, all I see are Brother Qiang's eyes..."

"That's because you have a guilty conscience."

Chen Feng coldly interrupted him, "Killing one is killing, killing two is killing too. Since you've already done it, don't pretend to be a girl here."

Tie Tou was speechless, so he could only lower his head.

"I've taken care of things with Ninth Master."

Chen Feng's sudden remark made Tie Tou abruptly raise his head, his eyes flashing with unbelievable surprise:

"Really...really? Ninth Master isn't going to pursue this?"

"As long as Mad Dog Qiang's territory remains peaceful, and as long as the monthly payments are submitted on time, Ninth Master won't investigate how you got to your position."

Chen Feng looked at him with a half-smile, "Iron Head, congratulations, you've saved your life."

Tie Tou let out a long sigh of relief, his whole body looking as if he had been pulled out of the water, his back already soaked.

He stood up excitedly and bowed deeply to Chen Feng:

"Thank you, Brother Feng, for saving my life! From now on, my life belongs to you, Brother Feng. I'll do whoever you tell me to do!"

"sit down."

Chen Feng pressed his hand down, his eyes instantly turning sharp. "I don't lack dogs, I lack people who can do the work."

He pulled a list from the drawer and threw it in front of Tie Tou.

"These are the remaining two hundred or so men under Mad Dog Qiang. Besides those good-for-nothing thugs, there are also a few former underlings. This group is now leaderless and in a state of panic."

Iron Head picked up the list and looked at it. There were several familiar names on it, all of whom were people who were close to Snake Eyes or who were dissatisfied with him, Iron Head.

"I need you to do this."

Chen Feng leaned forward, the oppressive aura making Tie Tou gasp for breath. "Go and recruit these people. Tell them Mad Dog Qiang is dead, and now the Chen family owns Nancheng. Those who want to stay, follow my rules and you'll have food to eat; those who don't want to stay, get out."

"But—" Chen Feng's tone shifted abruptly, becoming chilling, "There are a few people among them who are shady characters and have been flirting with Lei Hu's group. Those are the ones circled in red on the list. Do you know what to do?"

Tie Tou looked at the names circled in red; they were all his former colleagues, and he had even drunk with two of them.

But he knew that this was Chen Feng's pledge of allegiance to him, and his only chance to establish himself in the new system.

"I know."

Tie Tou gritted his teeth, a fierce glint in his eyes. "These people are just a menace if they stay alive. Don't worry, Brother Feng, I'll make them disappear completely and won't cause you any trouble."

"very good."

Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction. "Also, you must remember your place."

"identity?"

Iron Head was taken aback.

"In front of outsiders, you are the leader of Mad Dog Qiang's old subordinates, and the eldest brother who succeeded Mad Dog Qiang."

Chen Feng stood up, walked over to Tie Tou, and straightened his collar. "But to me, you're just the person I want you to be. Understand?"

This is a blatant warning and control.

Looking at Chen Feng, who was so close, and into those unfathomable eyes, Tie Tou felt a deep sense of awe.

He understood that from then on, although he was nominally the leader of those old subordinates, he was actually just a puppet in Chen Feng's hands.

But he had no choice.

"I understand! I understand!"

Tie Tou nodded repeatedly, "Brother Feng is the master, and I am the knife. The knife doesn't care about right or wrong, it only listens to its master."

"Go."

Chen Feng patted him on the shoulder, "Stop acting like a coward. If you're going to be a big brother, you have to act like one. Don't embarrass me."

"yes!"

Tie Tou took the list, bowed, and left.

The moment he closed the door, his back visibly straightened a bit, and the fear in his eyes dissipated, replaced by a gleam of "ambition" and "cruelty."

He's going to clean house.

After closing the office door, Chen Feng sat back down in the boss's chair.

Sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, casting dappled shadows on the floor.

He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and let the pungent smoke swirl in his lungs.

There's been so much going on these past few days.

Mad Dog Qiang, Snake Eyes, Ninth Master, Iron Head...

Names swirled in my mind, each one entangled with complex interests and calculations.

Chen Feng leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and tried to relax his tense nerves.

Although I enjoyed myself at Jiang Hong's place last night, I barely slept a wink.

I went to see Ninth Master again early this morning, and had a close call with death.

After returning, he was busy allocating assets and arranging manpower, so busy that he didn't even have time to drink water.

At this moment, a wave of fatigue washed over me.

"Ring ring—"

The phone on my desk suddenly rang.

Chen Feng frowned and reached for the receiver.

"Feed?"

"Hey, Mr. Chen, why does your voice sound so listless?"

A languid and alluring voice came from the other end of the phone, sweet and seductive, like it had been dipped in honey.

Ah Zhen.

Chen Feng's lips curled up slightly, as if the sound had dispelled some of his fatigue.

That little devil, her information is really accurate.

When he was allocating the assets, he deliberately didn't mention the casino.

He originally intended to leave those casinos to Ah Zhen.

I didn't expect that the phone call would come so soon.

"Sister Zhen, your information is more accurate than a dog's!"

Chen Feng joked, "I just finished a meeting, and I haven't even had a chance to sit down properly yet."

"That's right."

Ah Zhen gave a reproachful look, then changed the subject, her tone becoming sweet and coquettish, "Congratulations, Boss Chen, on acquiring such a large piece of land. You're now one of the most important figures in the South District."

"What kind of big shot is Sister Zhen talking about? He's just running errands for Master Jiu."

"Heh, running errands?"

Ah Zhen chuckled softly, a laugh that melted your heart, "Mad Dog Qiang's territory is all yours, and you call that running errands? Boss Chen is too modest."

Chen Feng leaned back in his chair, listening to the woman's deliberately lowered voice on the other end of the phone. Her alluring face and irresistible body involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
