You were put undercover, and you've risen to become the boss.
Chapter 58 Forced Cooperation
The butcher swallowed hard and recounted everything that had happened the night before without hiding anything, including the time when Wang Kun had asked him to team up with Leopard.
"Master Zuo, I was being chased by Wild Boar's men all night. It took a lot of effort to escape. All my brothers died. Only this brother of mine escaped with me."
As he spoke, he pointed to Chen Hui standing to the side.
"Master Zuo, if you don't believe me, you can investigate freely. As for how Wang Kun died, I really don't know, I don't even know myself. If you hadn't said he was dead, Master Zuo, I wouldn't have known until now. Everything I've said is true, Master Zuo, you can investigate freely!"
Zuo Min nodded slightly, her gaze shifting to Chen Hui beside her.
Sensing Zuo Min's gaze, Chen Hui subconsciously lowered his head and looked down. This old guy's eyes were too sharp, and he was afraid that he would see through something, so he simply pretended not to dare to meet his eyes.
Zuo Min stared at Chen Hui for a long time, trying to figure something out, but he was disappointed and withdrew his gaze, looking back at the butcher.
"What investigation? I'm just asking to find out what really happened. No matter what, you're all Three-Eyed people, practically fellow disciples. Wang Kun actually colluded with outsiders to harm his fellow disciples; he deserves to die!"
Upon hearing this, the butcher's tense expression finally eased considerably.
"Master Zuo, you have a clear understanding!"
Zuo Min's eyes flickered a few times as she looked at him.
"I called you here today for two reasons. First, to find out what happened last night, and second, to discuss matters in Yangcheng."
The butcher asked in surprise.
"Master Zuo, what's going on in Yangcheng?"
"Of course it's the business in Yangcheng. With Sanyan gone, this business can't be delayed. Originally, I wanted Wang Kun to help me manage the business in Yangcheng and become my new partner, but I didn't expect that he would also be gone in just a few days."
"My business has been delayed for too long. Tell me, who should I partner with?"
Upon hearing this, the butcher's eyes darted around, unsure how to respond.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Zuo Min's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she said with a smile.
"How about you help me manage the business in Yangcheng?"
"Ah! Me...?"
The butcher's eyes widened in horror.
"Yes, you're the one. In Yangcheng, you're the only person I can trust who is also capable!"
The butcher quickly shook his head.
"Master Zuo, I can't do it. I know my own abilities very well. I'm afraid I won't do a good job and will ruin your business!"
Let him take over San Yan's job? San Yan has already gone to the underworld to report. If he takes over San Yan's job, he will probably follow in his footsteps before long.
After Three-Eyes died, he didn't even want to touch drugs anymore. That stuff was far too risky, let alone getting him to handle the transactions. It was like dancing on a knife's edge; every time he went out, he had to risk his life.
The businesses he currently owns are enough for him to live a comfortable life.
Zuo Min squinted at him, her smile fading.
"Of course it's possible. I think you're perfect for it. You did a great job under Three-Eyes before. Besides, my business has been delayed for so long, it can't be delayed any longer. Butcher, aren't you going to help me? I value you highly!"
The butcher's eyes darted around as he quickly considered how to refuse. Before he could even speak, Zuo Min took out several photos from the side and placed them in front of him.
"I heard you have a son and a daughter, both of whom have been sent abroad. They're both quite good-looking, especially your younger daughter, who's so pretty. Having a son and a daughter is a good thing. But for so many years, you've kept this a secret and claimed to the outside world that you have no children. You're not a good father."
"It's a holiday now, so I invited them to travel to Northern Shan State for a while."
Looking at the photo, the butcher's pupils dilated sharply in horror. A powerful surge of energy rushed to the top of his head, and he almost fainted.
Once he embarked on this path, he knew that his wife and children were in the greatest danger. For so many years, no one knew that he had a son and a daughter. He secretly sent them abroad and sent them money every month, all to prevent them from being threatened in this situation.
But to everyone's surprise, he couldn't escape it in the end; it's likely that Zuo Min had already found out about his situation.
"Master Zuo, I haven't done anything to wrong you, can you please let me go..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zuo Min interrupted him.
"Butcher, your children are my children too. Don't worry, I'll definitely take care of them. I brought them over to give them a change of scenery and to relieve your worries. With me looking after them, I believe your business will thrive even more!"
The butcher was speechless for a moment, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness. He made a last stand, hoping that Zuo Min would take pity on him and let him go.
"Mr. Zuo, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you, it's just that my abilities are limited, and I'm afraid I'll ruin your business!"
"It's alright, ability isn't important. If you're worried about your abilities, I can send someone over to help you so you can completely control the situation in Yangcheng. Butcher, you have a son and a daughter, especially overseas, where monthly expenses are quite high. Don't you want to save some money for them?"
Hearing this, the butcher knew he had no choice, and Zuo Min's words had struck a chord with him, as he did indeed want to save a large sum of money for his son and daughter.
"Master Zuo, could you give me some time to think about it? I need to go back and discuss it with my men!"
Zuo Min smiled again.
"Of course, but don't take too long, one day is fine. I'll give you one day, then call me."
After saying that, Zuo Min stood up, walked to his side, and patted him on the shoulder.
"I haven't touched this food yet, so it's on me. I've already paid the bill!"
After saying this, Zuo Min left the private room.
Upon seeing Zuo Min emerge, the people at the two tables of food outside immediately stood up. Some led the way, while others went ahead to observe the surroundings.
Chen Hui couldn't help but sigh inwardly; a major drug lord is indeed a major drug lord, and the people under his command are no ordinary individuals.
The butcher stood there, stunned, staring at the photos on the table, lost in thought.
Chen Hui closed the door to the private room again and walked to the butcher's side.
"Butcher, are you alright?"
Upon hearing his words, the butcher raised his head, his face grave.
"Ahui, do you think I should say yes to Zuo Min?"
Chen Hui pursed his lips and asked in return.
"Butcher, can you refuse? Don't you want your wife and kids?"
Upon hearing this, the butcher fell silent. His son and daughter were still in their hands. Unless he found another woman to have another child, he would have to give up the two of them.
Zuo Min had arranged everything before he arrived, leaving him no choice but to agree.
