Without even considering it, I immediately replied, "Quan Wu Xing!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Mengqing on the other end of the phone said, "According to Old Dog Zou, Quan Wu Xing will definitely go all out, and they'll make a bloody mess of it!"
"His quoted price is a thousand per head for appearance fees, with all props like steel pipes and knives included! A hundred people will cost exactly one hundred thousand!"
"If there's bloodshed, injuries, or if someone needs to take the fall, all related costs like hush money and settlement fees will be settled separately!"
After a brief pause, I immediately agreed, "Okay! No problem!"
"Have him call me directly. I'll handle the rest with him!"
It would definitely be more effective for Shen Mengqing to approach Old Dog Zou first, rather than me directly.
Besides Yun Jin, Shen Mengqing was the only one in Rui Chi who could make the final decisions.
After Ying Baolin initiated the 'United Front' plan, the entire underground casino landscape in Wenzhou was affected and impacted.
Especially the visibly lucrative loan sharking business. Old Dog Zou, who was once holding a stable job, was almost on his last legs after Ying Baolin's aggressive intervention.
Whether other casinos would switch allegiances, Old Dog Zou wasn't sure. What he was certain of was that after the previous two incidents, Rui Chi was likely to go head-to-head with Ying Baolin until the very end.
Therefore, all he could do was to further deepen his cooperative relationship with Rui Chi, who was unwilling to accept Ying Baolin's merger (takeover) plan.
If I had approached him, even though Old Dog Zou would have agreed, he would definitely not have provided such enthusiastic manpower, nor would he have offered such a per-head fee.
This old fox was incredibly shrewd!
With ample manpower, when I faced Yu Shuang's counterattack again, I would not only make her pawns bleed but also force her to show weakness first!
She wants me, and at the same time, she's planning to scheme against me again. Does Yu Shuang really think I'm a pushover she can manipulate at will?!
...
Not long after hanging up the phone, as we turned onto a small road, Han Jinlun, who was driving, suddenly said, "We have tails following us!"
Hearing this, I, sitting in the passenger seat, immediately pressed myself against the seat, slightly turning my body and glancing at the rearview mirror.
On the sparsely populated road, I saw a Jinbei minivan, which had appeared the previous night, following us at a leisurely pace.
If Han Jinlun hadn't pointed it out, given the distance the Jinbei minivan was maintaining, I might not have noticed.
These guys are really fast!
However, this also proved that Shen Mengqing's "Need for Speed" escapade this morning, which she thought had shaken off the tails, had actually failed.
It seemed that the rented apartment, which we had just moved into, had been exposed again.
With this in mind, I decisively took out my phone and called Cheng Minglang.
When I learned from the phone call that Xianyu had brought his brother Yu Fei to meet us, I immediately told Cheng Minglang, "Pack your things quickly and get ready to move!"
"Once you're out, and before you find the tails, be sure not to take taxis, as that makes you too obvious!"
"I'll give you an hour. If you can't shake them off, we'll meet at the most crowded mall."
Hearing my extremely serious tone, Cheng Minglang didn't waste any words and directly replied, "Okay," and hung up the phone.
After arranging things with Cheng Minglang, I glanced at the Jinbei minivan behind us in the rearview mirror. After a moment of thought, I said, "How about this, let's head directly towards a crowded area."
"No matter what these people want, a crowded mall will help conceal our movements."
"Once Cheng Minglang and the others get back to me, we'll make other plans!"
Hearing this, Han Jinlun, who was concentrating on driving, said nothing but nodded heavily.
Then, we pretended not to notice we were being followed and continued driving at our previous speed towards the nearest mall.
Yu Shuang is targeting me so closely this time, not even giving me a moment to breathe, which is really too abnormal.
My intuition tells me there's a big problem here!
As for what it is, I can't be sure.
Once I connect with Old Dog Zou and find a relatively safe and hidden place to stay, I can start planning my counterattack...
...
As soon as we arrived near the mall, I asked Han Jinlun to stop the car and turn off the engine.
After locking the car, we both quickly headed towards the crowded mall lobby.
The moment we walked through the mall entrance, and I looked back, five or six people rushed out of the Jinbei minivan.
After spotting Han Jinlun and me, they chased after us.
The two leading them were the security guards who were first mobilized by Zheng Xinyi last night to surround me.
Judging by their momentum, they seemed determined not to stop until they found us.
Even so, I don't believe these people would dare to make a move inside the mall in broad daylight!
"Split up and lead them around inside the mall! Remember not to leave the mall!"
After saying this, Han Jinlun and I went our separate ways, each darting off in different directions...
With three to five quick steps, I merged into the dense crowd and then, using the escalator, rushed up to the second floor.
Seeing this, the three people following me immediately sped up and rushed after me.
Like mad dogs, these three pursued me relentlessly, striding onto the escalator and going up.
During this process, the people on the escalator were pushed aside by the three, who were shouting, "Make way!"
The innocent bystanders, while moving to avoid them, cursed them for being crazy.
The three ignored them.
Upon reaching the second floor, I quickly surveyed the surroundings.
This area was dedicated to men's and women's clothing, clearly divided, with multiple passages leading freely upstairs and downstairs.
If I walked straight through the men's wear section, I might not be able to shake off those three quickly.
With this in mind, I made up my mind to head directly to the women's wear section.
Quickly approaching a specialty store selling women's lingerie, I glanced at the open fitting rooms. Just as I was about to use one to hide from my pursuers...
"Chen Xiang!"
A clear female voice called out from my left.
At the sound, I instinctively turned my head to look...
