Chapter 1164: Chapter 1050: Display of Strength “What’s… what’s going on.” Manager Huang looked at Zhang Bei in confusion. “That woman is not really a novice, she’s just pretending.” Zhang Bei said calmly, “I’ve been with many women, so I recognized it immediately. For anyone who deceives me, I always have one method of dealing with them, and that is to make them perish.” “Is she really pretending?” Manager Huang had an embarrassed look on his face, “I… I don’t know about this, I just happened to notice someone promising, so… I thought to introduce her to you, Brother Zhang. Alas, it’s my bad, got you deceived as well. Now that this has happened, Brother Zhang, let me handle it for you. Just hope you’ll look after me in the future, let’s keep in touch.” “Sure will.” Zhang Bei replied, “Sorry to trouble you, Manager Huang.” “No problem, no problem, I’ll handle this, ensuring Brother Zhang has nothing to worry about,” Manager Huang said with an awkward laugh, though in his heart he cursed Zhang Bei viciously. It’s likely that the little chick provoked the wrong person, ending up at the hands of this bastard. Too bad for such a lovely girl. Seeing Manager Huang acting so subservient, Zhang Bei once again felt the perks that come with power. However, the sudden appearance of Song Yun the previous night really left Zhang Bei quite shaken. Song Yun didn’t even ask where Zhang Bei lived, yet he still found his place. This isn’t just wide-ranging intelligence, it’s practically magical! Why could Song Yun so easily find Zhang Bei’s residence? It’s simple, Zhang Bei guessed, Song Yun must have a vast intelligence network, one that can monitor Zhang Bei’s every move, ready to act at any moment. Otherwise, how to explain that right after Zhang Bei received a new assignment and arrived at some dog fighting ring, Song Yun appeared promptly? Is this coincidence? Zhang Bei figured it couldn’t possibly be coincidence. If the world had so many coincidences, everyone might as well wait to see if by chance a wealthy relative dies childless and leaves all their fortune to you. “Terrifying, this man is not to be messed with.” Zhang Bei shook his head, his mind filled with the eerie smile of Song Yun. At that moment, Zhang Bei sat in his room, each thought of Song Yun bringing an involuntary chill down his spine. He looked around. Could Song Yun have left some cameras hidden in this room? Zhang Bei searched everywhere, confirmed nothing was left by Song Yun, then chuckled to himself, feeling a bit paranoid. “Alas, better stick to straightforward business.” Although Zhang Bei’s courage wasn’t entirely shattered by Song Yun, his ambitions were certainly diminished. Having ambition is good, but if you lack the fortune to achieve it, then all ambitions are just fleeting clouds. Compared to your life, ambition is somewhat negligible. “Alas, tonight’s event is troublesome too.” Zhang Bei rubbed his temples. Tonight, he had to lead some people to cause trouble at the Money Group’s place. Such business is not straightforward; it requires a worthy pretext, like Xu Xian causing a scene at Li Baoshi’s car exhibition. Altogether, without a noble cause, it’s easy to expose your true intention, and it also reveals a lack of cunning. In the Martial World, showing a lack of cunning means no one will seek your counsel. It’s not about playing dumb to catch the wise, but about straightforward displays of strength. Playing dumb often results in genuinely being treated like a pig and devoured by many. The timeline moves back a bit. Song Yun calmly strolled out of the private club with Jue Wu. “Brother Song Yun, why not dispose of him?” Jue Wu asked curiously. “It’s rare to have a pawn showing potential development, it would be a shame to just discard him.” Song Yun shook his head, “Let’s give him a chance. If he is insightful, he can continue as a pawn and might eventually become a player. If not, we can always discard this pawn, in exchange for something else.” “Oh?” Jue Wu asked puzzled, “Brother Song Yun, how to exchange?” “Heh, a spy always holds some value. Someone will definitely pay to clear spies from their organization. Just like myself, if someone told me there’s a spy in our Shura Alliance for five million, I would definitely pay, of course, provided the spy holds some status.” Song Yun said.

Never underestimate others’ intelligence. In such matters, the best way is to always keep a humble heart.” “Understood.” Jue Wu nodded, saying, “I’ll go back and with Hua Manlou, put more effort into internal reorganization, striving to leave no room for spies.” “Heh, keep a light perspective.” Song Yun said, “Spies will exist at any time, just a matter of whether they can be useful.” “Aren’t they all harmful?” Jue Wu asked. “Some spies, if used well, can actually bring us benefits. But if poorly managed, they could bite back. Everything has two sides, it depends how you perceive it. If an HQ is internally stable and externally robust, with a positive spirit, then a spy has no ground. Throughout history, whenever spies have been effective, it has always been within a group already on shaky ground.” Song Yun said, “Zhang Bei is ambitious but lacks enough courage. Otherwise, he would have turned against us long ago. Why hesitate until now? Thus, I’ll give him a strong warning to suppress his unmonitored thoughts. At least in this Pearl River Delta game, I need him as a frontline warrior for me.” “Alas, Brother Song Yun, being around you makes me feel pressured.” Jue Wu said, “To fight, you’re better than me, more clever… I feel like I almost have no reason to exist.” “Heh, you can still be my assistant and errand runner.” Song Yun laughed and said.
