I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"Brother Qin, what should we do with those people?"

Hong Zhendong made a throat-slitting gesture, "Why don't we just kill them all? They're no use being kept alive!"

Before Qin Ge could speak, Ouyang Qian was startled, "How could you kill someone so casually?"

"What I mean is, while they are hateful, they don't deserve to be all killed, do they?"

"And are you really okay killing people like this? It's not worth risking your lives for those scumbags!"

Hong Zhendong stared at Ouyang Qian in astonishment, then quickly turned to Qin Ge, smiling as he waited for Qin Ge to speak.

Qin Ge asked, "So, according to your opinion, how should this be handled?"

"Should we send him directly to the police station?"

"Why send them to the police station?!" Ouyang Qian retorted without hesitation. "You killed Jia Shuo in front of so many people. What if they go to the police station and tell the truth, implicating you?"

"Besides, the people behind them seem pretty powerful. They might actually have the ability to get them out, which would be too easy on them!"

She thought about it carefully, "Why not make them return all the money they swindled from others first, and then try to find the victims and refund as much money as possible to them!"

"This money could be a lifesaver for those people, saving not just their individual lives, but the lives of entire families!"

Hong Zhendong couldn't help but ask, "But Miss Ouyang, they're only deceiving young women. Once those women fall into the hands of this Li Yan they've mentioned, do you know what they'll face?"

"Those damages are irreversible and irreparable, and they must have already spent a significant portion of the money they swindled; it's impossible to recover it all!"

"This..." Ouyang Qian was embarrassed, and then subconsciously looked up at Qin Ge.

"Let's do as she says!" Qin Ge made the decision directly. "President Hong, you'll handle this!"

"Make up the difference first, then have Song Qiuxia and the others work for you to pay off your debts. You'll be able to pay it all off eventually!"

"Okay!" Hong Zhendong readily agreed, but his mood wasn't very good.

Why should I pay for your girls?

As they were chatting, Hu Yihui knocked on the door and came in. "Uncle, Li Yan is here!"

"Well done, you didn't mess anything up!" Qin Ge's tone was like praising a child. "I'm too lazy to listen to his nonsense, let's give him a beating first!"

"Tell me when he's willing to cooperate. If not, bring Jia Shuo's body in front of him!"

Ouyang Qian's eyelids twitched. "Why are you doing this again? What if you dialed the wrong number?"

"What I mean is, it's not too late to ask first before calling. What if there's a mistake? There are quite a few people with the same name, so that's still a possibility!"

Seeing that Qin Ge didn't say anything, Hong Zhendong and Hu Yihui went to take care of their business.

"So what if I hit the wrong person? It's not like you or me are the ones getting hit!"

Qin Ge tapped the table, then raised an eyebrow at Ouyang Qian, "I've helped you so much, and you haven't even offered any thanks? You can't even pour me a cup of tea?"

"Stop overthinking it. Let's find out the details before calling. That sounds reasonable at first glance, but the question is, will we even be able to find out the details if we don't call?"

"I don't want to waste so much time on him, and I'm not afraid of hitting the wrong person!"

On the other side, Li Yan was waiting anxiously, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

He had known for a long time that Hu Yihui was Hu Qingshan's son, and that his boss, Duan Tianxing, had always wanted to establish some connection with the Qingshan Chamber of Commerce, but dared not take the initiative to do so.

Duan Tianxing and his group were already far less powerful than the Qingshan Chamber of Commerce, and they were in the kind of business that made them unable to stand up to others. They were already at a significant disadvantage, and if they tried to get closer to the other side, they would only become more worthless.

Therefore, Duan Tianxing only instructed Li Yan to do his best to please Hu Yihui, and not to mention anything else. However, if Hu Yihui brought it up on his own initiative, it would be a completely different story.

This is why Li Yan came to meet Hong Zhendong without even asking why Hu Yihui asked him to.

At this moment, Li Yan was thinking happily that he had already made contact with Hong Zhendong and with the Qingshan Chamber of Commerce protecting him, he would have a smoother future in Donghai!

If he gains Duan Tianxing's favor, he can rise to a higher level. If he gains Hong Zhendong's favor, then Duan Tianxing will have to respectfully address him as Mr. Li from now on!

The Green Mountain Chamber of Commerce looks down on most of the businesses I'm currently in, so they'll take over from now on. I'm about to become the undisputed king of pimping in the East China Sea!

Just as Li Yan was envisioning a bright future, Hong Zhendong and Hu Yihui arrived.

"Hello, Chairman Hong!"

"Hello, Hui Shao!"

Li Yan practically jumped up from the sofa, his face beaming with a fawning smile.

"Li Yan, is this one of your men?" Hong Zhendong waved his hand, and several of his underlings carried Jia Shuo's body and threw it in front of Li Yan.

Li Yan's eyelids twitched, and his face turned deathly pale when he saw the corpse's face clearly. "Chairman Hong, what is this?"

"I...I don't know him. How can he say he's one of my people?"

"What disrespectful thing did this person do to Chairman Hong?"

Hong Zhendong smiled dismissively, "Brother Qin guessed right, you really are a dishonest person!"

"Do you think that since dead people can't talk, I can't do anything to you as long as you don't admit it?"

"Besides Jia Shuo, I also have six other people in my hands, including Song Qiuxia and Guo Kai. They're all alive and can talk!"

Li Yan knelt down with a thud. "Chairman Hong, it's true that I have some business dealings with Jia Shuo and his people, but strictly speaking, they're not my people!"

"The key point is, I didn't instruct them to do anything detrimental to Chairman Hong or the Aoyama Chamber of Commerce!"

"Now you know to kneel? Didn't you say you didn't know him? Too late!" Hong Zhendong waved his hand again. "Go! Beat him up!"

"Beat him thoroughly, just enough so he can still breathe and speak!"

"President Hong, I...I'll talk, I'll tell you everything!" Li Yan gave up after less than five minutes, begging for mercy, "Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!"

"Young Master Hui, please put in a good word for me! I promise I'll tell you everything I know!"

Hong Zhendong remained unmoved. He was a kind-hearted man and insisted that his men beat Li Yan for ten minutes to make it a full ten minutes.

When Hong Zhendong ordered a halt, Hu Yihui had already scurried off to find Qin Ge.

"Little Qianqian, would you like to come with us to listen to a lecture?"

Just as Qin Ge was about to get up, Hong Zhendong had already had Li Yan carried in.

He glared at Li Yan, who was lying on the ground, and said, "How did you get beaten up like this? Can you still talk?"

"Yes, I can talk!" Li Yan quickly got up and knelt down, glancing at Qin Ge before quickly looking away.

Qin Ge nodded slightly. "Then explain yourself properly. Remember, I don't want to hear any nonsense!"

"Besides Jia Shuo and Song Qiuxia, what other deceptive tactics do you use?"

"Do you know Zhang Luoxin, a student from Tunghai University?"
