"Therefore, I must prepare in advance and find a way out for myself and my brothers." Fang Cheng, through Xiao Shuai’s perception, caught a hint of fear and unwillingness in Chen Chen’s words. He then spoke to Xiao Shuai in his mind: "Tell him, even so, there’s no need to assassinate Noah’s senior officials; the risk is too great." Xiao Shuai immediately continued, saying: "Chairman Chen, even if Noah does encounter problems in the future and you want to protect yourself early, there’s no need to choose this method, right?" "Assassinating a senior official within the organization, once exposed, it’s a situation of no return." Chen Chen sneered several times: "I am a lone wolf, why should I fear him?" "Besides, the person I want to eliminate is precisely the head responsible for controlling us external forces in the Noah Organization." "Over the years, he has constantly set obstacles for me, planted spies, and restricted my development. He is like a sword hanging over my head, ready to fall at any moment." "Only by getting rid of him can I truly be free to integrate the underground forces of the East Capital and secure a bigger deal for myself." "It just so happens that the Noah Organization has recently suffered a severe setback, surely their surveillance over us external forces will loosen. Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" He looked at Xiao Shuai with burning eyes, then changed the subject. "I know that assassin seems to have an unending vendetta with the Noah Organization, right?" "I assume he wouldn’t mind killing another member of Noah; I can provide him with detailed intelligence, including the target’s movements, habits, specific capabilities, and so on, ensuring nothing goes wrong." "During the operation, if there’s a need for support, or if a safe retreat route and hiding place are needed afterward, my Red Tiger Gang will fully cooperate." Chen Chen said this, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes. He deliberately paused, observing Xiao Shuai’s reaction. Fang Cheng naturally detected the probing intent in Chen Chen’s words and did not respond directly. After a brief thought, he proposed his conditions through Xiao Shuai. "Chairman Chen, words are not enough; cooperation is possible, but we need to see your sincerity." Guided silently by Fang Cheng, Xiao Shuai was no longer nervous or intimidated. He sat up straight, putting on airs, even crossing his legs like Chen Chen. Although the posture looked a bit comical due to his injuries, the air of authority was not diminished. "Moreover, as far as I know, Noah’s power in the East Capital is significant." "Relying on just our leader, even if we can kill the so-called ’Scorpion’, a Level Eight official, it would be tough to escape unscathed. How much support can you provide?" "Besides, there’s a code, even among robbers there’s a code; if you want our boss to act, you must play by the rules." "Otherwise, recklessly making enemies with a major force like Noah would be hard to justify to our boss and those above." Upon hearing this, Chen Chen’s eyes glinted, and then he laughed heartily: "Brother Xiao Shuai, you’re straightforward, I like it!" He patted his chest and said boldly: "I understand the rules, don’t worry!" "As long as that gentleman is willing to take action, besides all the information on Scorpion, I can also provide a substantial amount of operational funds, ensuring satisfaction." "If this cooperation is successful, we can engage in deeper collaboration." "I’ve been operating in the East Capital for many years, with contacts in both the underworld and the legitimate world. Whether it’s intelligence, funds, or manpower, I can offer significant support." "For example, helping that gentleman handle some inconvenient matters or providing some hidden shelters." "Even, if the gentleman is interested, we can share certain resources of the East Capital’s underworld." "As for Noah’s setup in the East Capital, I’m clearer than anyone else. This intelligence would surely be valuable to the gentleman..."
