Simply put, it's about seizing control of Peng City's underground forces...

Once Ye Hao controls Peng City's underground forces from the shadows, it'll be much easier for him to maneuver in Peng City in the future. Of course, Ye Hao doesn't plan to start doing illegal activities just because he's in control of the underground forces.

He just wants to make certain things easier to handle in the future, and considering that Peng City's underground forces have great potential, if managed well, it can generate a huge amount of money. Naturally, if not managed well, losses are also expected.

"Boss, are you saying you're planning to clean up Peng City's criminal scene next?" Qiu San asked excitedly.

"Yeah! For 'Heaven-Filling Heroic Spirit' to grow, we must have stronger financial support. I'm planning to sweep through Peng City's criminal scene and then build a finance team to manage our money professionally. Otherwise, no matter how much we spend, it won't be enough if we don't have control," Ye Hao chuckled.

"Boss is right. Previously, when I had thirty billion, I spent it freely, without thinking about the returns. All I knew was to snatch up those mines, buying them outright so others wouldn't even have the chance to bid," Li Yi said awkwardly.

He himself was a rough and tough guy, but since Ye Hao entrusted 'Heaven-Filling Heroic Spirit' to him for management, he had to specialize in handling this. However, the time was too short, and he hadn't learned much.

"Haha, Li, you're out of date! Even I, who wallows in the criminal world, know to find a financial manager, but you're stuck like a frog at the bottom of a well," Qiu San laughed at Li Yi's words, showing off as if he was more competent.

"Hmph! It's just that the time was too short and I didn't learn much," Li Yi retorted.

"Haha! Anyway, a group definitely cannot do without financial experts. Otherwise, no matter how much money there is, without detailed data, you wouldn't even know if you've gone bankrupt," Qiu San continued laughing.

Lv Dong glanced at Qiu San and sneered, "You talk as if you know a lot, but it's really those two brothers around you giving you tactics and ideas."

Lv Dong knew that Qiu San's success as the boss of Deep Well Gang's Anbao District was all due to the two brothers beside him. Those two, despite being National Martial Arts fourth-level practitioners, had very clever minds.

"Hehe, Dong, you know it, so don't mention it! No matter what, I'm now under your command, right?" Qiu San smiled awkwardly.

Ye Hao saw this and laughed too, feeling relieved when his brothers could happily bicker together.

"Alright, alright, let's get serious!"

"Where do you think we should start? Should we directly confront the Deep Well Gang or take it slow and steady?" Ye Hao asked.

"Boss, considering the urgency of needing money, there's no time for slow approaches!" Lu Yunsong was rather impatient, suggesting combat without considering the consequences.

"Indeed, although the Deep Well Gang is deeply rooted in Peng City, our strength is no longer weak, and with the brothers on Heaven-Filling Heroic Spirit Island, suppressing Deep Well Gang is not hard," Lv Dong also disregarded outcomes and focused on quickly taking Peng City's criminal scene.

"Wouldn't it be improper?" Li Yi frowned and added, "In this civilized era, if we engage in large-scale battles, it would be tough even if the boss had many people at his disposal."

"Indeed," Xue Zhaolong and Zhuorong Town nodded in agreement.

"Haha! This is for you to discuss; Gou and I won't get involved. If there's a fight, we'll be the first ones charging in," Ye Lang said and left with Fei Gou.

The remaining people, led by Ye Hao, continued strategizing on how to handle the Deep Well Gang. Eventually, Ye Hao decisively concluded to infiltrate the top ranks of the Deep Well Gang. However, before doing so, they must seize control of the Gambling King's forces first.

Ye Hao aimed to do this because many of the Gambling King's casinos operated within the Deep Well Gang. If Ye Hao took control of the Deep Well Gang abruptly, the Gambling King's men would be baffled. Chaos might ensue in their confusion.

Ye Hao wanted to avoid stirring up a storm in the city while reclaiming control from these criminals.

"Then let's do it this way!" Ye Hao laughed.

"Alright! Tomorrow, we'll visit the Gambling King," Li Yi grinned.

It was late at night when they all left, and Ye Hao went upstairs to share mutual yearnings with Lin Ruyu and Su Qing.

Ye Hao also confessed Fang Ni's feelings for him, mentioning her downfall due to this, leading her to frequent bars and commit extreme acts.

Although Lin Ruyu and Su Qing felt resentful, they understood the agony of a woman loving a man so deeply, choosing to turn a blind eye.

Moreover, Ye Hao's honesty reassured them of his transparency, signifying no concealment and complete openness towards them.

Meanwhile, in Tianfu District, at the Deep Well Gang headquarters, Datian High-end Club, the gang leader Zhou Zhihui followed a young man with a hint of servility.

Zhou Zhihui was a shifty-eyed middle-aged man, but the henchmen beside him were strong, giving off a feeling of being imposing when walking together.

The young man walking ahead of them was a slim man standing at about one point seven meters tall, his eyes gleaming wisely.

Then Zhou Zhihui spoke up, "Mr. Qin, what brings you here today?"

"Oh, just heard that our Deep Well Gang has been very active lately; I'm curious about what you're planning," the young man turned his head, looking at Zhou Zhihui with a questioning gaze.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhihui was startled, wondering if the upper echelons were cracking down on crime recently. Otherwise, why would Mr. Qin know?

"Um, Mr. Qin..."

"Call me Gang Leader."

Mr. Qin was the son of Qin Kuang, the party secretary of Peng City, named Qin Xiweng. Just returned from abroad, he conquered Zhou Zhihui with his intellect and became the unseen regime controller of Deep Well Gang.

Though Zhou Zhihui was unwilling, Qin Xiweng's backing meant he no longer worried about a crackdown from the powers above. After all, Peng City's prince was Qin Xiweng!

"Gang Leader," Zhou Zhihui called with resentment, but still acted respectfully.

"Let's go inside and talk," Qin Xiweng said, leading the way into the office and taking Zhou Zhihui's usual spot at Deep Well Gang.

Zhou Zhihui's underlings felt uneasy but kept silent. They hadn't forgotten how the Qin surname played Zhou Zhihui and Ran Tai like chess pieces.

Zhou Zhihui delighted so much in this game that he voluntarily surrendered, hoping Qin Xiweng would keep an eye on Deep Well Gang.

Sitting down, Qin Xiweng gestured and said, "Sit down. Tell me why there's a significant mobilization of manpower lately."

"Gang Leader, it's like this, Qiu San in Anbao District has been quite unruly, so we arranged to discipline him," Zhou Zhihui reported respectfully.

"Why unruly..." Qin Xiweng asked casually. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for it, and give it monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
