177: The white gloves of the Bai family

"There's nothing to hesitate about. You can rest assured, with my big brother's help, plus our two families joining forces, Zhang Biao is definitely dead this time." Zhao Zheng knew that with Geng Long's help, he and Zhang Biao would at most be evenly matched. He had to pull Big Sister Ma to his side to gain a clear advantage.

"Heh heh, Zhao Zheng, you know it wasn't easy for me to build this foundation. Allow me to go back and consider it. I'll give you an answer in two days."

Big Sister Ma, a woman, was able to carve out a niche in the City's underworld. Besides her own skill, her mind was naturally very astute. Now, both Zhao Zheng and Zhang Biao had Xuan-rank Masters backing them, putting her in an absolutely weak position.

If she sided with either party, no matter who won in the future, they would not tolerate Ma Fangfang. As the saying goes, how can others snore under one's bed? It would be better for her to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, letting these two families fight to the death. In the cracks, she might still survive. Once either side completely won, she would be the one to die. Therefore, Ma Fangfang immediately found an excuse to prevaricate.

"If you don't want to, then forget it. I'll deal with Zhang Biao myself. After it's done, don't regret it." Zhao Zheng saw Big Sister Ma's hesitant attitude, clearly one of watching the tigers fight from the mountain, and immediately felt a bit displeased.

"Oh, Brother Zhao, look at what you're saying. I'm just a small woman, I don't have ambitions as grand as yours, I just want to peacefully guard my small territory and comfortably live out the rest of my life."

Big Sister Ma smiled charmingly. Although Zhao Zheng's tone was unkind, she didn't dare to get angry. She even changed her form of address, no longer daring to call him by his name. After all, he now had a Xuan-rank Master backing him. If she angered Zhao Zheng, and he turned around to deal with her first, she wouldn't be able to resist.

"Hmph!"

Zhao Zheng's face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly, then turned and left the private room.

"You cheap woman, with your meager strength, you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight? When my big brother arrives, I'll be the first to swallow your territory, and then slowly contend with Zhang Biao."

Big Sister Ma watched Zhao Zheng walk away, her expression shifting between clear and cloudy. She was already secretly wondering if she should just go and rely on Zhang Biao.

She knew Zhao Zheng's style of doing things; he was much more ruthless than Zhang Biao. Before, Zhao Zheng didn't have enough power, but once he did, he would definitely not tolerate her.

As soon as Zhao Zheng walked out of Big Sister Ma's bar, his phone rang again.

He thought it was Geng Long calling again, so he didn't dare to delay. He quickly picked up his phone to look, but found that it wasn't Geng Long, but Young Master Bai Junchen of the Bai family.

Zhao Zheng didn't dare to be negligent and quickly answered the call.

The reason he had what he had today, besides his own capabilities, was more importantly that he had latched onto the Bai family's hidden line, becoming a white glove for the Bai family to reap benefits. If it weren't for the Bai family covering for him, he would have been swallowed up by Black Liu long ago.

"Hello, Young Master Bai, it's been a long time since I've seen you. You didn't even inform me when you came to the City last time. I would have prepared a banquet to welcome you!"

"Zhao Zheng, you should know about the Municipal Government's renovation plan for the North City Suburbs, right?" As a superior, Bai Junchen didn't bother with pleasantries with Zhao Zheng and went straight to the point.

"Oh! Of course, I know. Heh heh, thanks to your advance notice, Young Master Bai, I also bought a few properties there, just waiting for the demolition compensation." Zhao Zheng was full of doubts, thinking, 'I can't get involved in this kind of real estate development, so why is Young Master Bai calling me about this?'

"It's good that you know. There are some troublesome people there who are not satisfied with the demolition compensation plan offered by my Bai family's real estate company. They're stubbornly refusing to leave now. I don't care what methods you use, but settle this for me. However, it's best not to cause any deaths."

"Heh heh, that's easy to say, it's just..." Zhao Zheng's tone was a bit hesitant.

Bai Junchen's tone was cold: "Just what? Zhao Zheng, without my Bai family's protection, do you think you could have thrived in the City's underworld all these years? Asking you to do things for my Bai family is giving you face, and you still want benefits?"

Zhao Zheng said with a fawning smile, "Heh heh, Young Master Bai, you've got it wrong. How dare I ask you for benefits! It's just that, as you know, I also bought a few properties there. You can't let me lose out on my demolition compensation, can you?"

"Hmph! Don't worry, you won't suffer a loss. Your demolition compensation will be according to the standards set by the Municipal Government. But as for everyone else, you need to find a way to settle them, understand?"

"Understood, Young Master Bai, you can rest assured. I'll have my brothers handle this matter right away."

"Very good, and you don't need to make a big deal out of it. Just make a few examples, and these people will know fear, and then it will be easy to handle, understand?"

"Heh heh, understood. Young Master Bai, you can rest assured about how I handle things. I guarantee it will be taken care of properly." Zhao Zheng nodded repeatedly.

"That's it then. I'll send you the difficult 'nail households' later. I'll be waiting for your good news." After saying that, Bai Junchen on the other end of the phone directly hung up.

"Pah! Isn't he just a Pretty Boy born into a wealthy family, relying on his elders? Damn it, why is he so arrogant?"

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Zheng cursed Bai Junchen with an annoyed expression.

However, despite his annoyance, Zhao Zheng knew that he still had to rely on the Bai family for now. He immediately dialed a number and arranged for his subordinates to do Bai Junchen's bidding.

In Black Liu's private estate, Qin Shou was currently half-reclining on a leather sofa.

Across from him, Zhang Biao, who had not fully recovered, sat in a wheelchair, smiling broadly at Qin Shou. Tie Wei stood respectfully beside him.

"Brother Qin, you've made a special visit. Have I, the junior, been doing something wrong recently?" Zhang Biao's tone was tentative, fearing that he had done something to displease Qin Shou.

Qin Shou picked up the teacup in front of him, took a light sip, secretly activated his skill [Aura of Hegemony], and said calmly, "Are the other two forces in the City making any moves recently?"

The effect of Qin Shou's [Aura of Hegemony] would become more formidable as his status and strength increased. Both Zhang Biao and Tie Wei felt a terrifyingly powerful aura suddenlyattack from Qin Shou, scaring them both into a shiver. They felt that Qin Shou's aura was much stronger than the last time they saw him.

Zhang Biao immediately said tremblingly, "Thanks to you, Brother Qin, ever since Brother Niu crippled Chen Long and Lei Chuan last time, they've been very well-behaved these past few days."

"Hmm, that's good."

Qin Shou nodded, put down the teacup in his hand, and continued, "I've come to find you two this time because I want you to help me find someone."
