Gao Wu: I'll enjoy the benefits, but you'll bear the side effects.

Moreover, they are certain that they will not use their true abilities, so they will use an absolute advantage to kill themselves at the very beginning.

They will definitely send out their strongest fighters to unleash a fierce and deadly attack before you can even react.

The boxer might approach swiftly like a ghost, his punches and kicks carrying immense power, aiming straight for vital points, giving the boxer no chance to breathe or defend himself.

By then, even if you suffer, it will be difficult to express your pain.

In Jinling City, where the Qin family holds absolute power, who would believe their explanation?

And who can uphold justice for me?

Sister Wen was deceived by them from the very beginning; she probably has no idea what will happen tomorrow.

She was convinced it was just a normal, coordinated fight, completely unaware of the sinister conspiracy lurking behind it.

They might be secretly delighted at being able to establish a connection with the Qin family, dreaming of a bright future, unaware that they are stepping into a death trap set by the Qin family.

I have to say, these bastards are far more shameless than Gao Jie imagined.

No wonder the man surnamed Qin had a stupid son. With his way of doing things, how could he possibly have a smart son?

Qin Hailong is so vicious, treacherous, and cunning. He schemes against others all day long and pursues power and profit by any means necessary. I'm afraid that his despicable character has already affected the bloodline of his family.

How could they be so shameless? They're utterly despicable.

After careful consideration, Gao Jie came up with a new plan and prepared to deal with them.

His eyes gleamed with determination and wisdom as his mind raced, devising one countermeasure after another, determined to make the Qin family pay a heavy price for their actions.

In addition, Gao Jie did not want to die in such a muddled way. Moreover, it was obvious that what was happening in front of him was not a good thing. Therefore, he had to get Wen Jie out of this matter as well. Otherwise, if everyone ran away but Wen Jie could not escape, wouldn't that be harming her?

Although Wenjie and I have only known each other for a short time, she has taken care of me and trusted me, and I must not abandon her.

Gao Jie knew that in this complex world of martial arts, having more friends meant having more strength, and having fewer enemies meant having less danger.

Having thought this through, Gao Jie already knew what was going on. So after they left, he quietly led two people out of the Qin family's ancestral hall.

On the way back, Huang Xu was still quite curious.

"Weren't we just in there, about to wander around for a bit? I didn't get anything, and you guys brought me back. What happened? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Huang Xu frowned, his face full of reluctance. His original excitement and anticipation had vanished, leaving only dissatisfaction and confusion about this sudden change.

In his view, the Qin family ancestral hall might still be hiding countless treasures and secrets, and it would be a real pity to leave so hastily.

Gao Jie thought for a moment and then said to him.

"To tell you the truth, this situation is not simple."

Gao Jie's expression was serious and grave. "Things are likely to go wrong tomorrow. We need to find a way out for Sister Wen as soon as possible, otherwise everything will be in trouble."

His tone carried a hint of anxiety, knowing full well that time was of the essence and that not a single minute or second could be wasted.

Although Huang Muran couldn't quite grasp the nature of the danger, he could tell from Gao Jie's tense expression that there must be some underlying issue. So he readily agreed.

"Then we'll do as you say. Let's resolve this as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications, right?"

Huang Muran looked at Gao Jie with unwavering eyes, his gaze filled with trust.

Gao Jie nodded and then led them to another street in the area where Sister Wen lived, which was the territory of another family.

In reality, the power structure in Jinling is complex and intertwined. Besides the Qin family, there are several other families, and the one that has come here now is the Qi family's territory.

Gao Jie knew the power of the Qi family and had long wanted to set foot on the street where Sister Wen lived. However, Sister Wen and her group had always maintained a firm foothold there, causing the Qi family's plans to fail several times. If Sister Wen came here now, they would be extremely happy.

This means they can launch an attack on the Qin family's territory without difficulty, and at that point, everything will go much more smoothly than they imagined.

If Gao Jie hadn't thought of this, he probably wouldn't have brought two people here. The fact that he dared to come here now shows that he already had a strategy.

In the bustling yet turbulent streets of Jinling City, Boss Qi could often be seen leisurely enjoying tea in a gold shop.

The gold shop was decorated in an extremely luxurious manner, with carved beams and painted rafters, and a dazzling array of precious gold ornaments on the counter, as if to show off Boss Qi's wealth and status.

With his understanding of the distribution of various forces in Jinling City and the intelligence he had previously collected, Gao Jie found the gold shop where Boss Qi was located with almost no trouble.

When Gao Jie led Huang Xu and Huang Muran into the gold shop, the atmosphere inside instantly became somewhat subtle.

Qi Laoda was comfortably leaning back in his armchair, legs crossed, gently swirling a cup of fragrant tea in his hand. The aroma of the tea rose and filled the entire shop.

Upon seeing these three uninvited guests, he paused slightly, then a strange expression appeared on his face, followed by a cold smile. There was no friendliness in that smile; instead, it seemed as if he was mocking these arrogant young people.

"So it's you little brats looking for me, huh? Get to the point. I don't have time to waste with you. If you can't explain yourselves, get out of here. I don't waste my breath on anyone, you hear me?"

Qi Laoda's voice shattered the original tranquility of the store; his words were like sharp blades, piercing straight at Gao Jie and his group.

His eyes radiated arrogance and majesty, as if he were the ruler of Jinling City, and these young people before him were nothing but insignificant ants, daring to trespass into his territory and disturb his peaceful time.

"You dare come here looking for me? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

He put down his teacup, slowly stood up, and his tall and slightly burly figure cast a shadow in the shop.

His voice was low and hoarse, carrying a strong sense of threat. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, sending chills down one's spine.

Gao Jie knew that his situation was extremely delicate, and that the slightest mistake could anger Boss Qi and lead to a complete defeat.

But he showed no sign of backing down. He raised his head slightly, looked directly into Qi Laoda's eyes with a frank expression, and then explained his purpose in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.

"Boss Qi, we know you've always wanted to go to that street across the street, but you haven't had a good opportunity and have been biding your time. So we've come here hoping to cooperate with you and help your forces smoothly cross over. What do you say?"

As Gao Jie spoke, he kept a close eye on Qi Laoda's expression, his eyes like those of a keen hunter, trying to capture Qi Laoda's true thoughts from the subtle fluctuations in his expression.

"I'm not kidding you. If you're willing, we'll stand with you and help your faction crush them. What do you think of that?"

Gao Jie continued, his words concise and powerful, attempting to make Boss Qi understand the pros and cons of cooperation in the shortest possible time.

He knew that Boss Qi had been navigating the complexities of Jinling City for many years and was an extremely shrewd and cautious man who would not be easily swayed by others.

"You might be wondering why we're here to help you. It's because the Qin family has already given up on Sister Wen's influence. Before long, they might wipe her out. At that point, no one can guarantee what will become of her."

Gao Jie dropped this bombshell, knowing it was one of the key factors that attracted Boss Qi to cooperate.

Upon hearing these words, Boss Qi frowned slightly. A hint of doubt flashed across his previously confident face as he pondered the veracity of Gao Jie's words.

"You're not kidding me, are you? I'm warning you, if you dare to talk nonsense to me, don't blame me for turning on you, you hear me?"

Qi Laoda sat up straight, a hint of wariness in his eyes. He had seen too many conspiracies and tricks in Jinling City and knew the wickedness of people's hearts, so he naturally wouldn't easily believe Gao Jie's words.

His hands unconsciously gripped the handrails tightly, as if he were ready to deal with any possible changes at any moment.

Gao Jie smiled calmly.

"If I were talking nonsense, how could you possibly let me off the hook? What do you think?"

Gao Jie responded cleverly, trying to dispel Qi Laoda's doubts.

"So this matter is definitely not that simple. As long as you're willing to help me, there will absolutely be no problem with this intelligence. How about our cooperation?"

Hearing what Gao Jie said, Qi Laoda hesitated for a moment. His fingers tapped the armrest unconsciously as his brain raced over the pros and cons.

After much deliberation, he agreed with Gao Jie's assessment. After all, this was a rare opportunity to expand their influence, and if what Gao Jie said was true, it would have an immeasurable positive impact on the Qi family's rise in Jinling City.

"Although I wasn't very optimistic about what you meant, it does seem quite interesting now."

Qi Laoda narrowed his eyes slightly, crossed his arms, and looked Gao Jie up and down with a scrutinizing and playful look in his eyes.

"Alright, I'll agree to your terms now. Let's work together. But I'm warning you, if things go wrong, don't blame me for making trouble for you."

His voice was deep and hoarse, and his words carried an undeniable force, as if in this city of Jinling, Boss Qi's word was law, and if Gao Jie failed to perform his duties, he would surely suffer his wrath.

"Besides, that woman, Awen, is not simple. Are you sure she'll definitely come?"

Boss Qi frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He knew that Awen had some influence and power in Jinling City and was not someone who could be easily swayed by others. He couldn't help but feel worried about Gao Jie's confident attitude.

Gao Jie nodded, his expression firm in his assurance. His eyes shone with confidence and determination, which made Boss Qi nod slightly in agreement.

So Qi Laoda reached out and picked up the teapot on the table, skillfully pouring three cups of tea.

"After drinking this cup of tea, we are brothers. We will stand together through thick and thin in the future."

Boss Qi picked up a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp, displaying the demeanor of a powerful figure in the underworld.

Gao Jie, Huang Xu, and Huang Muran also picked up their teacups one by one and drank the tea in one gulp. After finishing their tea, Gao Jie and the others turned and left.

However, they hadn't gone far from the gold shop when Huang Xu suddenly reached out and grabbed Huang Muran's hand tightly, demanding angrily, "Who exactly are you? You're definitely not the kind of person we think you are. What do you do?"

Huang Xu's eyes burned with the flames of anger and doubt, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"We're warning you, don't talk nonsense to us. We're not stupid. Tell us what really happened!"

Hearing this, Gao Jie also looked puzzled. He stopped, turned around, and looked at Huang Xu and Huang Muran, asking with a face full of doubt, "What exactly happened? I didn't feel anything was wrong just now. Are you sure something's going on?"

Gao Jie's brows were tightly furrowed like two twisted ropes, and his deep eyes were full of confusion and bewilderment.

He couldn't understand why Huang Xu would suddenly launch such a fierce interrogation of Huang Muran at such a crucial moment.

"We've come to this critical moment, so let's not cause trouble among our own people. If you ask me, it's better for us all to resolve the issues that need to be resolved than anything else."

Gao Jie's words clearly carried a hint of dissatisfaction; his voice rose slightly, and his pace quickened unconsciously, his anxiety evident. He was keenly aware that the current situation was like a taut bowstring, and any slight disturbance could trigger unpredictable consequences. Internal conflicts and disputes were absolutely unacceptable.

However, Huang Xu stubbornly insisted, his face flushed, that he had just seen Huang Muran give Ambassador Qi a meaningful look.

Huang Xu's eyes burned with fury, his gaze seeming to see right through Huang Muran. He wasn't lying; just a moment ago, while Gao Jie was talking to Boss Qi, Huang Muran had quickly given Boss Qi a wink.

The glance was extremely subtle; if Huang Xu hadn't caught it out of the corner of his eye, he would have been completely unaware. At the time, Huang Xu was watching Qi Laoda's female secretary, and after she swayed away, his peripheral vision happened to capture this unusual situation; otherwise, he wouldn't have noticed this peculiar occurrence.

Looking at Huang Xu's confident demeanor, Gao Jie's previously firm belief began to waver, and he started to hesitate.

His gaze was like a sharp sword, shuttling back and forth between Huang Xu and Huang Muran, trying to uncover the truth from the subtle changes in their expressions.

Huang Muran's face flushed red and then turned pale, and his once bright eyes were now filled with panic and helplessness.

His lips trembled slightly. He opened his mouth, but something seemed to be stuck in his throat. He wanted to explain, but he was speechless and didn't know where to begin.

In an instant, the once bustling street seemed to be shrouded in an invisible net of silence, and the atmosphere became tense and heavy, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

The three of them stood there quietly, none of them speaking, like three statues, locked in a stalemate.

Passersby cast curious glances, but after sensing the tense atmosphere, they hurried away, afraid of being drawn into this inexplicable conflict.
