To marry into the family in place of his brother? Impossible!

Jiang Zhe bent down slightly and looked at Uncle Tai sitting in the back seat through the car door. The scar on his face gleamed dark red in the rain.

"Godfather," Jiang Zhe said, his voice low and muffled by the rain, "you've gotten old."

Uncle Tai stared at him for several seconds, then slowly loosened his grip on the car door handle.

"It's you?"

His face showed disbelief, along with a hint of "I knew it."

Two contradictory expressions appeared in his eyes almost simultaneously!

Uncle Tai spoke up, "Are you sure you want to go this far? Jiang Zhe killed me, do you think you'd survive?"

Jiang Zhe didn't answer, but took half a step back and wiped the rain off his face.

The car lights were still on, casting a dim yellow light on Uncle Tai's pale face, making his expression clearly visible.

A sneer played on his lips.

Jiang Zhe said, "Now you know fear? Tell me, why did you release Jiang Jinhuan in the first place?"

You knew perfectly well that he was the man I wanted to kill, yet you let him go!

And that bitch Yao Jing, she probably slept with him, right?

I'm really curious, why do you all value him so much? What do I lack compared to him?

Uncle Tai was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, laughing until tears streamed down his face.

"What makes you worse than him? Hahaha, only someone like you who can't see himself clearly and is deceiving himself could ask such a question, right?"

Putting aside looks, in terms of knowledge and courage alone, he is far superior to you.

He is a dragon in the sky, while you are nothing but a worm in the gutter. How can you compare to him?

Hahaha!"

Uncle Tai laughed heartily.

Jiang Zhe's eyes turned venomous and crazed.

He waved to the person next to him and then took the gun from that person's hand.

Then he frantically pulled the trigger on Uncle Tai!

The rain was heavy, and the thunder rumbled for a long time.

The thunder stopped at some point.

Jiang Zhe turned around, walked towards the white truck next to him, opened the door, and sat in the passenger seat.

The truck turned around and drove into the rain, quickly disappearing into the night.

The remaining black van also drove away.

The rain washed away the remaining marks on the road, gradually fading the dark stains until they were no longer visible.

The black sedan remained parked in its original spot, its headlights still on and its windshield wipers still moving back and forth.

Bright red liquid was leaking from the seams of the car!

The news slowly spread the next morning.

The bodies of Lao Wei and Uncle Tai were discovered.

Uncle Tai was riddled with bullets.

This can be considered a complete prophecy of an untimely and tragic end.

Because he himself had said that he had done too many bad things in this line of work and would definitely not have a good end.

Now it seems that's indeed the case!

When Jiang Zhe returned to his residence that night, he was soaked in sweat.

He stood in the bathroom, looking at his scarred face in the mirror, turned on the tap, and the hot water washed away the rain and bloodstains from his body little by little.

He looked down at the pale red water stains on the ground flowing towards the drain, reached out and turned off the faucet, and stood in front of the mirror in silence for a long time.

Then he went outside, changed into dry clothes, sat down at the table, picked up his phone, scrolled through his contacts, and put it down again.

The rain outside the window hadn't stopped, and it was pattering against the glass with a soft, rustling sound.

He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and for the first time noticed that the sound of the rain was much quieter than usual.

The news reached the port city the following afternoon.

Sister Yao was in her office reviewing the transformation plan that Jiang Jinhuan had just compiled when Brother Xiong barged in without even knocking.

His face was as white as paper, his lips were trembling, and he didn't know how to speak.

Sister Yao frowned, her eyes showing displeasure: "Why didn't you knock?"

She wouldn't be angry if Jiang Jinhuan was the only one who entered her office without knocking!

"Tell me, what happened?" Sister Yao asked impatiently.

"Sister Yao... Uncle Tai is in trouble."

Sister Yao paused, her pen still.

She looked up at Xiong Ge's unusually terrified face, her tone tinged with annoyance: "What did you say?"

"Uncle Tai...is dead!"

"Thud!" The pen in Sister Yao's hand rolled to the ground.

Sister Yao's face turned ashen, her eyes hardening. "Tell me, what exactly happened? How did Uncle Tai die? Who did it?"

Brother Xiong said, "Last night in the west of Jiangcheng, we were cornered in our car, and Lao Wei and I both died. It was Jiang Zheqian!"

"How is that possible? How could Jiang Zhe, a good-for-nothing, possibly do that?"

"I don't know, but our people found out that Jiang Zhe seems to have gotten hold of all the people around Uncle Tai! That day, these people deliberately didn't follow Uncle Tai!"

"They've got something on them? Could Jiang Zhe really do that?"

"I suspect Jiang Zhe has powerful connections; otherwise, he couldn't have accomplished this much on his own. One wrong step and he'd be dead!"

"You mean Jiang Zhe has someone backing him, and he betrayed Uncle Tai?"

"No, Jiang Zhe probably wanted Uncle Tai dead a long time ago, and this time he did it himself!"

The office was eerily quiet.

Sister Yao slowly closed the plan in front of her.

Then she stood up, pushed back her chair, walked to the window, a sinister smile and hatred on her lips.

"Jiang Zhe? I really underestimated that good-for-nothing!"

At this moment, Brother Xiong said, "Sister Yao, Uncle Tai is dead, what do we do?"

When Sister Yao turned around, her face had returned to calm.

"Since we know Jiang Zhe did it, then Jiang Zhe should die!"

Brother Xiong clenched his fist and said, "I'll take my men back right now!"

Sister Yao shook her head: "No, the situation in Jiangcheng is still unclear. We don't know how many people have sided with Jiang Zhe, what their stance is, how sincere they are towards Jiang Zhe, or whether Jiang Zhe has made any plans against us."

These things need to be investigated thoroughly, otherwise, if we rashly go to Jiangcheng, we'll be the ones who suffer!

"Are we just going to wait like this?"

"No, we can't wait. We just need a plan for our return! We must act secretly!"

"Sister Yao, just give the orders, we'll do whatever you say!"

Upon hearing this, Sister Yao's eyes flickered. "You can leave now. I need to think about this carefully!"

Brother Xiong was startled when he met Sister Yao's gaze, and quickly lowered his head and walked out.

But I didn't dare go far, so I just stood at the door!

He knew that something was about to happen!

Jiang Jin Huan only learned of the news half an hour later.

He was sorting through old warehouse accounts in his office at the dock when Liangzi rushed in, shouting, "Brother Chen, something terrible has happened! Uncle Tai is gone! It was that ingrate Jiang Zhe who did it!"

Jiang Jinhuan paused for a moment, then his eyes narrowed sharply.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, along with a faint smile.

He closed the folder, then stood up, his face revealing little emotion: "Where is Sister Yao now?"

"In the office! I heard she was really angry and furious!"

When Jiang Jinhuan walked out of his office and through the corridor to Yao Jie's floor, he saw Xiong Ge and several of his brothers standing outside the door, all of them looking rather grim.

Seeing Jiang Jinhuan approach, Brother Xiong quickly went to greet him: "Brother Chen, Sister Yao, she..."

"I'll go in and take a look." Jiang Jinhuan walked to the door, knocked twice, and then pushed the door open and went inside!

Brother Xiong next to him clicked his tongue.

Sure enough, only Jiang Jinhuan could freely enter and leave Sister Yao's private territory.

If he knew that Jiang Jinhuan had even admired Yao Jie's personal clothes one by one, I wonder what his expression would be!
