You were put undercover, and you've risen to become the boss.

The butcher remained expressionless and continued talking as he watched him.

"Old Zheng, you've followed me for so many years, you have to take these places. It's what you deserve. Otherwise, people outside will say that I, the Butcher, can't tolerate my own brothers!"

Zheng Kai said with a serious expression.

"Brother, I really can't take these places. If I do, I'll be scorned by everyone in the underworld! I hope you can grant my request!"

The butcher's eyes flickered a few times, then he waved his hand.

"Fine, if you insist on not taking it, there's nothing I can do. You can leave now. If you don't want to get involved in this business, hearing too much won't do you any good!"

"Take care, brother!"

Zheng Kai bowed deeply to the butcher, then turned and left the abandoned factory.

Tang Chao frowned, watching his disappearing figure.

"Butcher, Old Zheng has become increasingly timid over the years. If he's so cowardly, what if something happens to him and he falls into the hands of the police? To save his own life, won't he betray us?"

The butcher squinted, also watching Zheng Kai's disappearing figure. His eyes deepened, a cold glint flashing within them, and he spoke calmly to Chen Hui beside him.

"Ah Hui!"

"Butcher Bro!"

"Zheng Kai can't be allowed to live. He'll only cause trouble if we keep him around. If he utters a single word, we're all doomed. Go and take care of him!"

"His wife and children should also be dealt with. If we don't nip it in the bud, there will be endless trouble later!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened, they gasped, and stared at him in shock.

Even Old Scar's eyes flashed with surprise and disbelief.

Zheng Kai has been by the butcher's side since he debuted, and is his absolute confidant. Now, because of this matter, he actually wants to kill him.

He didn't even spare his wife and children. Suddenly, everyone felt that the butcher was a stranger, a frightening stranger, and their hearts were filled with awe.

That's exactly the effect the butcher wanted.

In the past, his business mainly involved selling goods in the market. Even if he was caught, he could easily find a scapegoat.

As for fighting over territory, finding connections shouldn't be a big problem.

Now it's different; that used to be something that could cost you your head at any moment.

He needed his subordinates to work together without any dissenting opinions, and he also needed to intimidate everyone to establish his authority.

Since Zheng Kai has ulterior motives, it's a good opportunity to use him to establish authority, so that everyone will fear him and dare not have any other thoughts.

Chen Hui understood the butcher's thoughts very well. Those who are not in a position should not concern themselves with its affairs, but those in a position should. If you want to become a powerful figure, you have to do what you are supposed to do in whatever position you are in.

"I understand. Do I need to bring the body back?"

The butcher shook his head.

"No need, just dispose of it yourself, don't leave any trace!"

"clear!"

Chen Hui took two steps forward when the butcher suddenly called out to him, his eyes flashing.

"Ah Hui, Old Zheng has followed me for so many years. Let him have a quick death, don't let him suffer too much. This is my last act of kindness towards him!"

Chen Hui nodded and quickly chased after him.

Tang Chao looked at Chen Hui, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Brother, is this kid reliable? He hasn't been with us for very long."

Upon hearing this, the butcher's face darkened, and he squinted at him from the side.

Tang Chao was startled by his cold gaze and instinctively lowered his head.

"Big brother... I'm doing this for our own good."

The butcher sneered, staring intently at him.

"You think Ahui can't handle this? Why don't you take charge of it?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of panic flashed in Tang Chao's eyes; he certainly didn't have that ability.

"Brother, I... I don't doubt his abilities, I just think he's too young and I'm afraid he's not mature enough..."

The butcher withdrew his gaze, interrupted him, and said coldly.

"I trust Ah Hui to handle things; his abilities are undeniable. I don't want to hear about this again!"

"Yes... Big Brother!"

The butcher glanced at the crowd.

"Listen up, everyone. When you get back today, clean up your men. Get rid of those who can't keep their mouths shut, those who are timid and hesitant, and those who don't want to make money. Make sure they're not involved in the core matters!"

"clear!"

"Old Scar, when you get back, try to use our connections. Several of our establishments have been shut down. Find out what's going on and see if you can get them unsealed."

Old Scar nodded.

"Understood, big brother!"

the other side.

After leaving the abandoned factory, Zheng Kai got into his car and drove straight home. At the same time, he took out his phone to call his wife and told her to pack her things and prepare to leave Yangcheng to live in another city.

He knew that he could not stay in Yangcheng any longer, so he might as well leave as soon as possible.

After hanging up the phone, he frowned, looked in the rearview mirror, and noticed a motorcycle closely following him.

To verify his guess, he looked at a side road and drove in without hesitation.

Sure enough, the motorcycle behind him was still following.

Zheng Kai's eyes widened, revealing a fierce and ferocious look. He glanced around and saw that there were no pedestrians around. The suburbs were deserted in the evening. He stepped on the gas pedal hard, and the car accelerated suddenly.

The motorcycles behind also sped up.

After sprinting for a hundred or two meters, Zheng Kai slammed on the brakes.

The car screeched to a halt and slid more than ten meters away. The sudden high-speed braking, combined with the force of inertia, brought the car to a stop in the middle of the road, nearly causing it to overturn.

The motorcycle behind also braked suddenly, otherwise it would have definitely crashed into Zheng Kai's car, resulting in a fatal accident.

At this critical moment, the person on the motorcycle braked suddenly and jumped off the motorcycle, rolling several times on the ground to dissipate most of the impact before landing in the roadside bushes.

The motorcycle sped along the ground.

"Bang!"

It crashed hard into Zheng Kai's car.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Kai's eyes widened. He immediately pulled a shark scythe from under the passenger seat, opened the car door, and headed towards the bushes where the driver had fallen.

I jogged to the roadside bushes and was surprised to find that there was no one there, only a patch of flattened weeds.

His gaze followed the trampled grass, searching for traces, when suddenly his expression changed drastically. A bad feeling rose in his heart, and he turned around abruptly.

A man wearing a helmet appeared behind him.

He raised the shark-shaped cleaver in his hand, pointed it at the driver, and asked in a fierce voice.

"You've got some nerve, openly following me. Tell me, who sent you? Who are you?"

Under his watchful eye, the rider slowly removed his helmet and threw it on the ground.

"It's you!"

Upon seeing the person's face clearly, Zheng Kai was shocked and incredulous.
