Chapter Eight: At the Intersection of Light and Darkness

Yongxing Bar was closed, but the atmosphere inside was anything but relaxed. Boss Li, Xu Cheng, and Crazy
were sitting at the bar, while a middle-aged man with gray hair sat on the sofa, accompanied by five bodyguards.

"Shen Jin is dead, did you know?" the middle-aged man said. "I heard you sent him to kill someone."

"It was me," Xu Cheng said. "The person I sent to kill was closely related to He Wanxin, and seemed to be He Ping's
accomplice ."

"I provided the intelligence," Boss Li said. "I analyzed the target
's itinerary from our monitoring software."

Madman said, "I've been monitoring that man. No one among us could kill him except Shen Jin."

"But Shen Jin is dead," the middle-aged man said. "What exactly was that man's identity?"

"He used to serve in the Navy SEALs," Xu Cheng said. "We got this information after Shen Jin
left . You know he was unreachable during missions."

"Xu Cheng came to inform me immediately after receiving the news, but Shen Jin's phone was already switched off,"
Boss Li said. "If it had been half an hour earlier... sigh."

Madman said, "With him around, we couldn't have dealt with He Wanxin. He first turned our
informant , then helped the police find my house, and even used his foreign status to force Captain Chen to resign. In just a few days,
he almost blinded us."

"Vice President, we need to activate 'Nightmare'," Boss Li said, "or get Uncle Yang back as soon as possible."

"Yang Keshan has very important business in Europe, and besides, he reports directly to the President; I can't get him to cooperate,"
the middle-aged man As for 'Nightmare,' it's not that we can't use it, but using them all at once would cause too much of a stir. I
'll transfer three people from 'Sleep' for you first. We can't act rashly this time. Even 'Nightmare'
isn't in the same league as the Navy SEALs."

"Vice President, can we try to win him over?" Xu Cheng said. "From what we know so far,
he seems to be very lecherous."

"We can try contacting him, but be careful not to expose your identities."

"There's another matter," Boss Li said. "I'm planning to shut down the underground casino to avoid unnecessary
trouble."

"Is there no chance of Captain Chen being reinstated?" the middle-aged man asked, wiping the face of his watch. "Shutting it down is fine.
Also, it seems a new gang has started in the Rat District. Send someone to make contact and see if there's any possibility of cooperation."

"I'll go," Madman said. "I'm the one who got involved with the Dragon Tiger Gang."

"Speaking of the Dragon Tiger Gang, is there any room for Wen Tao to maneuver?"

"Difficult," Xu Cheng said. "It'll probably be at least ten or eight years before he gets out."

"You guys sort out the remaining Dragon Tiger Gang members and introduce them all to the new gang in Rat District,"
the middle-aged man "You know the local underworld better than I do, so I can't interfere in this kind of thing."

In front of the Guangyi Group building, Zhang Wenhai, carrying a travel bag, sighed as he faced the ascending stairs. After exercising
early in the morning , he discovered that the shower facilities in the security room had malfunctioned, which was really frustrating. Remembering that
He Wanxin's office also had a small bathroom, he planned to borrow it, but climbing thirty-eight flights of stairs wasn't so
easy.

"Hey, you've already set up the cubicle." Pushing open the office door, Zhang Wenhai felt his physical strength
had recovered quite well; this time it was noticeably easier. "That's good. If they can't see you from the outside, it'll be harder to ambush
you."

"Who are you talking to?" He Wanxin suddenly appeared behind Zhang Wenhai. "Looks like the 38th floor
isn't much of a problem for you."

"Oh, I thought you were working in the cubicle." Zhang Wenhai turned around and found He Wanxin empty-handed.
"You didn't see me on the security camera and hide here, did you?"

He Wanxin asked. "Why can't I just go out for work?"

"It's simple. Your office door was open, which means you weren't planning to leave the company, so leaving must be
for work-related matters." Zhang Wenhai said. "But you have a phone and a secretary. What kind of work would require you
to leave the office? And you came back empty-handed. It's not like the chairman is delivering things to employees."

"You're not the chairman, how would you know what my daily work is?"

"I don't know, but I feel like you don't deliberately walk quietly in the company. Even if you usually
wear casual shoes, your footsteps would still be very noticeable in such a quiet environment."

"Oh, I see. You guessed right this time," He Wanxin said. "Did you come to see me about something?"

"The shower in the security room is broken. I'd like to borrow yours." Zhang Wenhai said, opening the bathroom door and walking
in.

"Hey!" He Wanxin didn't have time to stop him before Zhang Wenhai stopped her outside. She sat back down at her desk and
muttered to herself , "What kind of person is he? He didn't even ask if I agreed."

He Wanxin glanced at the reports from each department, then, as if suddenly remembering something, got up, walked to the coffee machine,
picked up a bag of unopened new coffee beans, brewed two cups of coffee, and brought them back to her desk.

Zhang Wenhai had just finished showering and came out, picking up a cup to taste. "How did you know I like this?" he asked.

"Pshaw, it's a Walmart bestseller, perfect for someone as tasteless as you."

"It's a bit low-class, but it's not fancy to drink," Zhang Wenhai said, sipping his coffee. "The thing is
, this isn't your usual coffee. Did you buy this just for me?"

He Wanxin blushed and immediately protested, "It just happened to be on sale. Who would buy it just for you?"

"Since you like it too, I happen to have half a pack left, so I'll just bring it over," Zhang Wenhai said. "
Anyway, I don't have a coffee machine, so it'll just sit on the table as a decoration."

"Okay, I admit it, I bought it just for you," He Wanxin said. "I also bought a coffee
machine, which I was planning to bring over this afternoon, but you can take it with you."

"What's going on? Did you get employee benefits?"

"I saw you work hard, so I thought I'd reward you," He Wanxin said. "I need to go on a business trip for a week,
leaving tonight."

"I'll go with you," Zhang Wenhai said. "With no one to protect you, I'm afraid Gu Fang might take advantage of the situation."

"Don't worry, I'm with Tan Lili, she'll protect me. Besides, the Lonely Palace is internally divided, so it's possible..."
"It's none of my business," He Wanxin said. "By the way, how do you know the Lonely Beauty Society has split?"

"Because Shen Jin wants to kill me."

"Is there anything wrong with that?" "

From the moment I arrived in Shuoqu City, the Lonely Beauty Society has been secretly monitoring me, or at least they think they are
. So why would they suddenly become so aggressive and send Shen Jin to kill me?"

"Maybe they think the time is right."

"Then how do you explain Captain Chen? He appeared much earlier than Tan Lili, who received the alarm,"
Zhang Wenhai said. "This is enough to show that Captain Chen was nearby when Shen Jin tried to kill me, but that's clearly
Tan Lili 's patrol area, so Captain Chen's appearance is very strange."

"It could also be a coincidence, like Captain Chen went there on personal business and only rushed over after hearing the gunshot."

"Does a private matter require so many police officers? He arrived far too quickly, almost at the
same time I killed Shen Jin. Not only that, he also managed to pinpoint my room precisely," Zhang Wenhai said. "That hotel has a
back alley that's usually deserted, which is why Shen Jin chose to break in through the window. Yet Captain Chen
found it just by the direction of the gunshots. Keep in mind, this was during the day; all sorts of noise in the city
can be distracting."

"So that means..."

"Exactly, Captain Chen must have known beforehand that Shen Jin would kill me at the hotel, so he must also be
a member of the Lonely Beauty Society."

"That makes sense."

"Given this, his motive for appearing at the hotel is very strange," Zhang Wenhai said. "Firstly,
Captain Chen might have been there to meet up with Shen Jin, in which case he and Shen Jin should have communicated beforehand. But Shen Jin entered through
the window ; if he wanted to meet up, he should have stayed in the alley, not gone directly upstairs."

"You think he was actually after you?"

"That's the only explanation. Otherwise, why didn't he hesitate at all when he saw Shen Jin lying on the ground, and
just took me away without even asking any questions?" Zhang Wenhai said. "In other words, he not only knew Shen Jin would kill me, but he also knew
I was stronger than Shen Jin, or rather, he wanted me to kill Shen Jin, which is why he went straight upstairs."

"I see."

"That's not all. My situation clearly falls under self-defense, and a little investigation would be enough to determine the nature of the crime. So,
following normal procedures, I could leave the police station quickly." Zhang Wenhai continued his analysis. "And Captain Chen took
me directly to a room without surveillance equipment, simply to interrogate me first and find out
how much .

" "Did he get the information?"

"Of course not. He even tried to scare me, but I confiscated his gun."

"Thinking about it, it's quite ridiculous." He Wanxin chuckled.

"Have you noticed the contradiction?" Zhang Wenhai asked. "On one hand, they sent Shen Jin to kill me, but on the other hand, it seems
they knew all along that Shen Jin would be the one to die. What does that mean?"

"Oh, so that's why you said the Lonely Beauty Society is internally divided," He Wanxin said. "They're using someone else to do their dirty work
.

" "You once said that Shen Jin was Yang Keshan's subordinate, right?"

"Yes, my dad told me that."

"So either Shen Jin betrayed Yang Keshan, or someone in the Lonely Beauty Society wants to get rid of Yang Keshan,"
Zhang Wenhai asked. "Which possibility do you think is more likely?"

"I don't know," He Wanxin said. "I don't know either Yang Keshan or Shen Jin; I've only
heard my dad mention them."

"I don't know them either, but that doesn't affect my reasoning." Zhang Wenhai put his empty coffee cup
on the table. "This represents Yang Keshan. The fact that he has a subordinate like Shen Jin means he holds a high
position ."

Zhang Wenhai then picked up a coffee bean and threw it into the cup, saying, "This bean represents Shen Jin. Suppose he wants to
break free the constraints of this cup, what would he need to do?"

"If the coffee bean could move, it would just crawl out of the cup."

"Then he'd have to know where the cup's rim is first," Zhang Wenhai said. "And he'd have to make sure it crawls
out lands on the table, not on the floor."

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

"I'm saying that if I were Shen Jin, I would have prepared before betraying Yang Keshan. Finding a replacement was
essential ." Zhang Wenhai took the coffee bean out of the cup. "So who would send Shen Jin to kill me? Since
the intention was to kill him, it shouldn't be someone he found. It could only be Yang Keshan, who was betrayed. But
since has already betrayed me, why would he still obey orders? It can only be because he wants to continue his undercover work."

"Undercover work?"

"Yes, undercover work," Zhang Wenhai said. "Did you notice? After analysis, the two hypotheses I
mentioned are logically consistent. That is to say, there must be someone within the Lonely Fragrance Society who wants to deal with Yang Keshan,
and he is the person we need to focus on next."

"You can think of so many things just from Shen Jin and Captain Chen's actions?" He Wanxin found it unbelievable.
"Do you Navy SEALs also work as detectives?"

"A rational action will always reveal some information. The more you do, the more mistakes you make—that's
the principle of 'least effort.'"

"In that case, I'll try to find out about Yang Keshan for you. I'll let you know if I find out anything,"
He Wanxin said. "You should go back to school right now."

"I have something else to tell you," Zhang Wenhai instructed. "If you get into a car accident,
make sure to lock the doors before the police arrive. Don't get out of the car under any circumstances."

"Why?"

"I've been thinking about it, and this is probably the only way the Gu Fang Society can target you," Zhang Wenhai said. "
Now that they know my identity and strength, they might try to blackmail me through the people around me."

"Who are the people around you!" He Wanxin blushed again. "Take care of the four women at your school
."

Inside Yongxing Bar, the vice president of the Gu Fang Society had already left with his men, while the remaining three were still discussing things together.

Xu Cheng said, "Boss Li, the first step is complete. What should we do next?"

"Let's hold off for now. I didn't expect the consequences to be this serious," Boss Li said. "The vice
president's attitude is unclear, and we have no idea what Uncle Yang is up to. I want to wait until the situation is clearer before
planning what to do next."

"Boss Li, this is supposed to be a matter between you and Young Master Xu. As his lackey, I shouldn't say much," Crazy said.
"But since I'm involved, I'm risking my life along with you. I don't care about anything else,
but there's one thing I have to say."

"Go ahead." "

No matter how powerful Uncle Yang is, we can eventually dig him out bit by bit. But all our current plans are from
our own perspective, completely ignoring external interference."

"You mean the SEALs?"

"We sent Shen in to kill him, and while the result was good, what if he harbors hostility towards the Lonely Fang Society because of it?
Who knows what might happen that's detrimental to us?"

"You don't need to worry about that," Xu Cheng said. "The big boss said that the Lonely Fang Society originated in the United States and has a long history of feuds
with the SEALs , so he will always see us as enemies."

"Being chased around can be called having feuds?" Boss Li sneered. "
Those foreigners are really good at patting themselves on the back."

“No matter what they say, as long as the Seal is against us, it’s not good news,” Madman
said. “I’ve almost fallen into the police’s hands twice already, and I don’t want a third time.”

“It’s okay, we’ll all play it safe for now, and we won’t get any leverage over him,” Xu Cheng said. “When you go to
the Rat District to contact that new gang, remember to disguise yourself a little; there might be plainclothes officers lying in wait nearby.”

“Don’t worry, changing my gait is one of my specialties,” Madman said. “Is there really no
way kill that Seal?”

“How? We don’t even know the name he uses in China,” Xu Cheng said. “His name in America is
Richard Zhang, but I asked the airline to check, and no
one uses that name on a flight.”

“Maybe he didn’t fly from America,” Boss Li said. “With our capabilities,
we’ll have to think of another way to find out his name.”

“Maybe we can just go and ask him,” Xu Cheng said. “Find a woman; we have
all .”

"The honey trap probably won't work," Boss Li shook him. "The three women I sent to control him
not only failed to provide us with any useful clues, but also became his concubines."

"I'd really like to meet him and see what kind of impressive training methods he has," Xu Cheng said. "Even my teacher couldn't subdue three women in one
night ."
