Chapter 77: A Fire Burns Everything Clean

  Chapter 1 Chaos KTV

  The chaotic brawl ended after a full ten minutes, and by the time all the thugs had scattered, the police arrived in a timely manner. This was their usual style, always appearing proudly after things had ended, looking mighty and powerful.

  Qiang is the younger paternal cousin of Provincial Hall's Director Hong, and this matter is not trivial. However, after the police symbolically inquired about the situation, they found that whether it was Jiaolian's guests or onlookers, everyone unanimously said that Qiang led hundreds of people to arrive in a frenzy, and Jiaolian's victory was merely self-defense. Yi Jun also made a phone call to Zhang Ziqiang, the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and as a result, these police officers from the Jinwan District Public Security Sub-Bureau immediately left, even exempting Yi Jun from making a written record.

  ……

  On the other hand, just as the fierce battle between Qiang and Jiaolian was about to end, his old nest - the company headquarters where he had gathered the mixed children at the beginning - suddenly caught fire for no reason!

  No one knows the cause of the fire, but it really happened. The wolf smoke rolled over, piercing the sky, and a 12-story office building became a huge fire scene!

  Someone frantically reported a fire, and the fire department indeed dispatched a fire truck at the first time. However, on the nearest road that must be taken, a small car accident occurred. When the fire truck turned around and rushed to another road, strangely, there was an excavator working on that road!

  Under helplessness, when the fire department thoroughly solved the obstacle and arrived at the headquarters of Qiang's company, the fire had already spread.

  The big fire was finally extinguished, but after a rough estimate, the specific loss may exceed 30 million!

  His family was not very wealthy, roughly similar to that of Jinwan District's Seventh Brother, around 50-60 million. A disaster beyond his control caused him to lose so much, isn't this taking his life?

  Most of the money for these big mixers is still in circulation. Once he loses so much, he doesn't even have the money to redecorate. And floors one to ten of this office building are rented out as offices, and without this rent, his days will be even harder!

  In addition, there is a hidden danger: Qiang is a major usurer in the Jiangning underground circle! Relying on his powerful forces and no one daring to owe him money, he has issued a large amount of usury. Others may dare to owe bank money, but they do not dare to owe him. Even more so, Qiang dares to borrow over 20 million yuan from the bank at low interest and lend it out at high interest, earning a huge difference in interest.

  But that was in the past. Now, Gao Qiang has fallen and lost his intimidating power. Those who lend money at high interest rates are often not easy to deal with, and if they see Gao Qiang's decline, they may start to default on their debts or delay payment. Once someone takes the lead in doing so, a small trend will inevitably form. By then, Gao Qiang will really be in trouble. Not only may he lose all his money, but he may even be unable to repay the bank loans he took out himself.

  Looking at the blackened building, even some floors were burned into a steel-reinforced concrete frame, he was so angry that he wanted to cry but had no tears. He had already rushed to the hospital to treat his injuries, but after hearing this shocking news, he couldn't sit still. After simply treating himself, he rushed straight to the scene. When he arrived here, he almost fainted, feeling only that his eyes were blackening.

  The current underground circle is no longer an era where you can just fight and kill with your fists. Without a strong financial foundation, you can't even support a few followers. Is it just brotherly love? Yi Jun may be able to hold onto one Xiao Zhan, but even he can't keep the "Tao City Three Wolves". In this era of reality where conscience has been eaten away by half, so-called loyalty also comes with a price.

  The economic base determines the superstructure, this is a truth that applies universally, and it is even more prevalent in the harsh realities of the underground world.

  Now, Qiang's economic foundation has been burned clean by a fire!

  Bitter, powerless, sorrowful and resentful! Gnashing his teeth in despair, for he seemed to see no hope of a comeback. Of course, the intensity of hatred in his heart was beyond ordinary people's imagination.

  The police have also arrived, busily investigating the truth of the fire. Because the police felt that a big underground mix like Qiang had offended many people, and once the fire was extremely likely to exist, there was a possibility of malicious revenge by opponents. However, the police investigated for half a day, but they didn't investigate any clues.

  Sitting on the stone bench at the edge of the square in front of the building, Qiang's eyes were dull and his teeth were clenched. Next to him, someone said timidly: "Brother Qiang, we had a fight with Yi Jun's side, and then this heartbreaking thing happened here, it's too coincidental."

  "Gritting his teeth in intense hatred, to the point of making his gums bleed, he furiously said: 'Do you still need to think about it? It's definitely Yi Jun who is colluding with Jiao Lian and sabotaging us at the same time, while also sending people to steal our secrets! Even using one's butt to think, one can figure it out! Damn it, this is a challenge to a life-or-death battle between me and him!'"

  Can't help but say, Zhang Yaqi is really just a good-for-nothing who only thinks with his butt. In fact, the arson of the building and Yi Jun have nothing to do with each other. The real mastermind is calmly drinking a pot of green tea in that villa by the river.

  Xie Pu put down the teacup in her hand with a smile and said, "The kid we sent out didn't do a bad job. The police couldn't find any clues."

  Qian Qi Yun smiled and nodded, saying: "This time, I'm afraid Qiang will thoroughly hate Yi Jun to death? He had his prestige and reputation beaten away, and now he's been burned by a fire that destroyed his path to wealth. What can Qiang have left? He can only drag out the background behind him, fight with his back against the water, and make a desperate strike!"

  The timing of sowing discord is ripe, and the fire in the furnace is burning brightly.

  Xie Pu shook her head: "A thing that relies on its connections to show off, only knows how to be arrogant and cruel, will never make it to the top. Even if it's glorious for a while, it'll eventually fall and die. It's laughable that this kind of person is still eyeing our position covetously, does he even qualify?"

  "Now that you mention being ruthless and fierce, I'm actually quite interested in that Yi Jun brother. What's his name again?" Qian Qi Yun said.

  "Xiao Zhan Xiong - one battle to fame, Jiangning all know." Xie Pu's usual calm and composed face changed slightly, sighing, "One easy army has made us two old guys so exhausted, now another Xiao Zhan Xiong has emerged out of nowhere, really giving people a headache."

  Suddenly, two young men appeared, not only surprising but also somewhat unreasonable. What were their identities? Qian Qi Yun was old and cunning, always thinking carefully about the problem, "Let's investigate them thoroughly, especially that Xiao Zhan Xiong, see if we can use him as a breakthrough point to find Yi Jun's true roots."

  After all, Qian Qi Yun values Yi Jun more. This old fox who can cover the rain and turn the clouds with one hand has extraordinary eyesight. For Yi Jun and Xiao Zhan Xiong, Qian Qi Yun can distinguish between primary and secondary at a glance.
