It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

For the leaders such as Nan Qian and Zhang Shan (Shen Qin and Zhao Yuan), as well as some of the smaller leaders under them, there are also things that are worthy of their headaches.

The situation outside the city was fine, and the "Forgotten" who stayed behind were still relatively united, but it was a different story inside the city - it had to be said that Xu Shi's approach of "winning over one group, dividing one group, and suppressing one group" really hit them right where it hurt. The "Forgotten" stationed in the City of Night Sin found it difficult to get together as their conflicts were deliberately diverted. On the contrary, they were fed up with each other and kept fighting each other.

Why are you treated better than me? I don't accept it!

As the leader, Shen Qin's own voice was actually greatly reduced, and he completely lost his previous cohesion and appeal.

"Not entirely. I think your leader Li Si seems to be enjoying it."

Thinking of this, Lin Wenhua couldn't help but say a few more words.

"That is an outlier. Mr. Lin can't generalize."

Shen Qin gritted her teeth, her tone full of contempt for Song Chen.

She had been at odds with that guy for a long time, and it was even more so after entering the City of Night Crime - this damn sophisticated egoist not only sold everyone out during the negotiations, but now he was enjoying being treated like a dog by "Prism". It was said that he didn't even care about his former subordinates anymore, which was really infuriating.

So she didn't even consider doing anything with him. Who knows if this kind of person would sell her out for his own future.

"……maybe."

As the conversation progressed, Lin Wenhua's concerns were gradually dispelled, and he began to examine Shen Qin seriously. "Tell me about your plan and ideas?"

"It's actually quite simple."

Shen Qin smiled and said, "Although my power over the Forgotten has been weakened, fortunately there are still many people willing to follow me. The people scattered all over the Night Sin City together are a force that cannot be underestimated."

"And I have also made backup plans outside the city. As long as we make some arrangements, we can start a large-scale riot that will spread throughout the city at the right time with the help of internal and external forces."

"Of course, this is just the first step. Our real purpose is to take advantage of the riot to behead Xu Shi."

"As long as we can take his life, the operation will be half successful."

"At that time, we just need to hold on to the results we have achieved and we will get what we need."

"..."

Hearing Shen Qin say this, Lin Wenhua was stunned for a moment.

Wow, this girl has a very cruel idea. A city-wide riot?

To be honest, this is indeed beyond his expectations, and do you really have the strength to support, or launch such a large-scale operation?

"That's why we're here to find Lord Long."

Shen Qin continued leisurely, "What we lack are weapons and equipment, but these things are firmly in Xu Shi's hands."

"But if we can purchase in small batches under the name of 'Dragon City', this problem can be alleviated."

"Whether it's the 'Forsaken' who chose to settle in Sin City or the people under Lord Long's command, together they are a very powerful new force."

"... Stop, stop. I haven't promised you yet."

Long Tianding felt his scalp tingling after listening to this. Oh my goodness, this guy is treating me as his base?

The key point is that Nan Qian is really a bit too crazy. He has occupied half of the territory of Night Crime City and has never thought of such a thing. As a result, you arranged it like this when you came here? It sounds weird.

"To be honest, my relationship with Xu Shi is not good, but it is definitely not bad either."

He looked at the two people in front of him and asked, "Why should I go crazy with you?"

"Let alone how much benefit I can get after the success, it is still unknown whether you can succeed."

"Lord Long, you are joking. How can anything in this world be 100% successful?"

Shen Qin was not afraid at all when he heard this. "It just depends on whether you dare to take a gamble... Of course, if you really don't want to take the risk, you can also arrest us now and hand us over to Xu Shi for disposal."

"Anyway, as far as I know, City Lord Long, you have been suppressed quite a bit by Xu Shi, so it would be good for you to bring him down. As for how many there are, why do you need me to list them out for you one by one?"

"..."

Long Tianding pursed his lips.

These words really touched his sore spot.

It would be a lie to say that he was not suppressed by Xu Shi. In the previous incident, the opponent had already devoured the "Long Knife Party". Ding Jun, the ungrateful wolf, could no longer be regarded as his henchman, and the Sixth District was also falling apart.

Including subsequent chips and equipment and so on... It was obvious that Xu Shi did not want to maintain a cooperative relationship with him, but to suppress him. He had suffered a lot in these matters.

Long Tianding would never admit that he wanted to sit there and wait for death. At least, breaking the ice with "Feather Pen" was one of his actions.

But it is undeniable that this approach will not produce immediate results, and one must also consider that if Sin City really breaks down the barriers with Night City, his status and control will not increase. On the contrary, by then the other five conglomerates will have taken root in Sin City, and his power will inevitably be further weakened.

To be honest, this was a little hard for him to accept. It was like cutting meat with a blunt knife.

So for him, it is indeed time to make a choice.

Should I do as I said before and continue to get along well with Xu Shi and develop the livelihood of Sin City together?

Or will he choose to join forces with Lin Wenhua and the "Forgotten" and take a gamble to overturn the existing situation?

"Although you are targeting Xu Shi, don't you worry about the other financial groups?"

He clasped his fingers together and thought, "If there really is such a huge wave, they can't be silent at all."

"I think, as long as we can take down Xu Shi, or the Snake Ring, as quickly as possible, the others will naturally know how to take advantage and avoid harm?"

Shen Qin pondered, "Or does Lord Long think that if Xu Shi is destroyed, they will wholeheartedly avenge him?"

"...What you said makes sense."

Long Tianding did not comment. In essence, there needs to be a link of interests between the six major conglomerates.

Now everyone follows Xu Shima's lead, and the premise is that he has indeed brought a lot of benefits to everyone.

But if they just keep an eye on him and try to get him fired, other people's first reaction will definitely not be to wear mourning clothes or turn hostile. Instead, they will wait and see how things develop and make a decision after weighing the pros and cons.

They may even defect and try every means to get a piece of the pie - just like what happened to the "Refraction" and "Mianhe" back then, when the two huge buildings collapsed suddenly, the people below immediately became like jackals smelling blood, and quickly divided up their remnants.

As one of the people who had witnessed this change, Long Tianding was very familiar with it.

Of course, such a premise must also be based on the fact that the current "Snake Ring" has been destroyed to the level of "Refraction" and "Milky Way".

Or maybe there is an insider like Lin Wenhua, even if the degree is lighter, it is not a bad idea?

Seeing that Shen Qin was quite confident, Long Tianding was somewhat moved by what she said.

But there are still concerns - at least "Prism" and "Quillen" cannot be ignored. Xie Qingyan is okay, as he knows something about this woman's character, but Wen Shengkui is hard to say. The old man is very old-fashioned and may not be willing to help his eldest grandson even if it means sacrificing his bones.

and so.

After careful consideration.

Long Tianding’s choice is.

"There are quite a lot of Forsaken joining the Fifth District, and I can't take care of them all right now."

He took a breath and said, "If Miss Nan Qian could help take care of it, I would be very grateful."

"As for the purchase of weapons... we in Dragon City naturally need to arm ourselves and strengthen ourselves. If you want to take a ride, that's fine... Of course, you have to solve the funding problem yourself."

This attitude is very ambiguous. It sounds like not agreeing, but it seems like agreeing.

Naturally, Shen Qin and Lin Wenhua quickly understood what he meant - Long Tianding's move was actually a bit of a double-edged sword. Providing them with the Fifth District as a platform was a bit of support, and he even told them the method for the relatively important issue of weapons.

If the plan to overthrow Xu Shi could really succeed, then he would naturally have accomplished a great feat. But conversely, if they failed, Long Tianding could also get himself out.

He can then shirk responsibility by saying that it was just his own negligence, and that it was these "Forsaken" who wanted to cause trouble, right? Sin City is so big, it's normal that he can't take care of it all... Why would I want to start a riot? Not long ago, I said we should work together to develop people's livelihood infrastructure, you really wronged me.

It is also in line with his character - whether it is riot or development, it is just a means for Long Tianding.

To be honest, such statements and results could not satisfy Shen Qin and Lin Wenhua. They certainly did not want to have their cake and eat it too. However, they also knew that if a cunning old man like Long Tianding could be persuaded to surrender in just a few words over something that could not guarantee success, that would be abnormal and hypocritical.

"...In that case, we still have to thank City Lord Long for at least giving us a place to garrison."

So Shen Qin didn't say much, "As for the funds for purchasing weapons, in this regard... I'm afraid I have to rely on you, Mr. Lin?"

"No problem, I'll do my best to solve it."

Lin Wenhua agreed without much hesitation. Money was not something he was short of, but what he needed were the personnel to support the operation.

Shen Qin is just the opposite. In a sense, the two of them complement each other.

Although this would cost him a large piece of flesh, he also knew that now was not the time to feel sorry for the money, otherwise Xu Shi would take preemptive action and he would lose the wealth he had accumulated over the years.

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation."

Seeing him nod, Shen Qin also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ha, happy cooperation."

Lin Wenhua forced a smile.

To be honest, he looked down on this group of "Forgotten" from the bottom of his heart - he didn't know the real purpose of Shen Qin's action, so in his eyes, they were just a group of hungry ghosts, not to mention that they had no choice but to seek refuge in the Night Sin City, and now they were still thinking about such things, which was really greedy to the extreme.

Shen Qin also looked down on Lin Wenhua. The two of them formed a temporary alliance simply because they had the same goal.

"Well, we can't stay here for long, so let's go back and prepare?"

They all came out secretly without anyone knowing, which would naturally arouse suspicion over time, so after a brief discussion, they left separately.

After leaving Sin City, Shen Qin immediately contacted Shen He who was still outside the city.

The reason why she wanted to take action now was, on the one hand, because she saw the conflict between Lin Wenhua and Xu Shi, and on the other hand, her brother told her that there had been some progress on his side as well.

And...he needs to return to the City of Night Sin.

……

the other side.

"I guess Lin Wenhua is having a very pleasant conversation with Long Tianding now, right?"

On the way to the "Feather Pen", Xu Shi looked up at the sky outside the skylight and said thoughtfully.

He had no doubt at all that Lin Wenhua would betray him.

Not to mention that the old man already had a criminal record in the original book. I have already pushed him to this point. It would be too rude for him to die in silence.

"Including Miss Shen Qin, I'm afraid she will take this opportunity to do something."

He couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this. He was obviously a good person who didn't bother with others, but he always had to endure this unnecessary malice.

I'm so angry that I feel like crying.

"Master, since you said that, I knew that even if they were put together, they wouldn't be able to make any waves, right?"

Su Lin smiled. She understood Xu Shi's thoughts very well. If he really had any concerns, he would not have spoken in that tone.
