Chapter 2135 The robbers robbed the robbers

Jiang Yuanzheng strongly argued that Lu Chengwen should not be killed.

The four major families cannot blindly follow the Elders' Council's lead, nor can they do whatever they are told without using their own brains, thus losing their ability to judge and control the overall situation.

However, Mo Haiping strongly opposed it.

Mo Haiping believes that the Elders' Council's algorithm is relatively safe.

Lu Chengwen's very existence is a threat. He's not someone anyone can control; his backing is too powerful. It's virtually impossible to detain him. If any of those old men came to your door demanding his release, would you give it to them?

However, releasing him would be a hidden danger. Once he is captured by Skynet, no one can predict what the consequences will be.

After years of silence, Skynet has suddenly mobilized a large army and made a desperate gamble to capture Lu Chengwen, which shows that Lu Chengwen is of great strategic value to them!

That could be a chilling outcome for everyone!

With Lu Chengwen dead, Tianwang suffered a huge loss, while their side suffered a small loss, or even broke even.

This is a great deal.

Jiang Yuanzheng looked at Xia Ying, who bit her lip:

“We have received orders, and orders… must be carried out. I have no authority here to discuss or make decisions with you. I am here to carry out orders, not to discuss the orders themselves.”

Jiang Yuanzheng then looked at Bai Men Keke.

Bai Menke coughed and said, "The Bai family does not intend to explain the purpose and objective of this operation to anyone."

Jiang Yuanzheng understood.

No one here, except himself, will protect Lu Chengwen.

Jiang Yuanzheng bit his lip: "How about this! I'll capture Lu Chengwen alive and take him away myself! The Jiang family will protect him! When the Five Elders come to demand his release, the Jiang family will negotiate! Is that acceptable?"

Mo Haiping frowned, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Jiang Yuanzheng looked at Xia Ying and Bai Men Keke.

Xia Ying sighed: "I have no authority to discuss or make decisions here; I am only responsible for carrying out orders."

Cocoa Baimen still uses the same phrase.

No comment.

Jiang Yuan collected his belongings and stood up: "Fine! I'll personally kill Lu Chengwen! But you have to give me time. I'll take him back, at least settle the business, and make him cough up more money, okay? The business will still be run by the four of us, right? We've all spent a lot of money on him! Give him three or four days, or a week, that should be alright, right?"

Jiang Yuanzheng began his lobbying:

"Do you think I love Lu Chengwen? What kind of trouble has that scoundrel caused the Jiang family? If it weren't for his money, I would have killed him first!"

"Trust me! As long as the money and business are settled first, I guarantee I'll kill him without hesitation!"

"I've been watching this business for a whole year now, and everyone involved has invested a lot! On a smaller scale, it means consolidating or even rewriting the power structure of the underworld, affecting future generations and involving the lives and property of countless people!"

"On a grander scale, it means what kind of life we'll lead, what clothes we'll wear, and what kind of alcohol we'll drink in the future!"

Mo Haiping understood; this gentleman simply couldn't bear to part with his money.

Lu Chengwen is his lucky charm, and he can't bear to part with him.

So he smiled and said, "Since Fourth Master has said so, let's do it that way. However... we must do it discreetly, otherwise it will look bad for everyone if word gets out."

"Absolutely secret!"

Jiang Yuanzheng said, "I'll say he drowned in the pool after drinking! Or I'll say he lost control of his bladder and died because of a woman, that he ruined his life by indulging in pleasure, and that he's the one who's shameful! Is that okay?"

Xia Ying said irritably, "Then hurry up and get started. We can deal with a small family directly. The main problem is the luminous pearl. Without it, we can't enter the secret realm."

Jiang Yuanzheng said, "I'll take care of it!"

After a moment's thought, Jiang Yuanzheng had an idea.

He laughed and said, "I'll send a team to pretend to be robbers, steal the luminous pearl, and then leave. You guys are responsible for surrounding the Wolf Fang Gang and capturing Lu Chengwen alive, how about that?"

Xia Ying said, "I'll bring the guy who's had too much time on his hands last to step in and stabilize the situation."

"Ok, deal!"

……

The gang leader had a dream. In the dream, he was wearing a five-colored holy robe and holding a halberd, slaughtering everyone in his path!

All people under heaven worship him.

Red flags are waving, and there are crowds of people...

Suddenly, the sounds of fighting erupted, and the gang leader sat up abruptly: "You've taken them down? Hahaha!"

He threw on his clothes, grabbed a knife, and came out: "What's wrong? What happened? How is my nephew?"

They rushed to the backyard and found it full of robbers.

The gang leader scratched his head: "Where are they?"

The robbers in the yard stared at each other, completely bewildered. They looked around, weapons in hand, all wearing masks. It was obvious they were all robbers, and everyone was on their side.

"What happened? Where is the young sect leader?"

"Wait a minute, bro, it seems like we have a few more people!"

"Damn it! Take off your mask and talk!"

"No, boss, we're pretending...we're robbers, we can't take off our masks!"

"They're all wearing masks, who's going to rob whom?"

Lu Chengwen, wearing a mask, leaned closer and said, "Brother, here's what we'll do: we'll go back to where we came from! Those who aren't part of our group don't know the way."

The eldest brother nodded and gave Lu Chengwen a thumbs up: "Insightful! Brothers! Let's retreat!"

With a whoosh, the group of robbers retreated together, heading in the same direction.

The gang leader watched the group leave, stood there, and looked at the butler: "Are they out of their minds?"

The steward said, "It's over! The young sect leader and the others must have gotten away with it!"

The strategist narrowed his eyes, aimed at one person, and suddenly darted forward: "You audacious robber, don't you recognize me!"

*Slap!*

The strategist is brilliant!

With one slap, his arm was shortened to countless pieces. He lay on the ground, clutching his arm and wailing, "Ouch! My damn arm! My arm!"

The man turned and blended into the group of robbers, who scattered and surrounded him in the center.

He was unwilling to give up and kept walking into the crowd with his head down.

The crowd scattered again, as if he had a plague.

The gang leader helped the strategist up: "What happened?"

"He cheated me! I don't know what method he used, but he was fine when I hit him, while my arm was broken!"

How did you recognize him?

"He was hunched over and reeked of alcohol. Our brother... no, the robber, didn't let him drink at all for tonight's business."

The gang leader roared, "All brothers! Kill this fake robber!"

"Roar--!"

"Kill them—!"

"Kill him!"

"Oh my god!"

Lu Chengwen pulled Zhao Ritian, along with Long Aotian and Feng Xianzi, and quietly walked to the back of the crowd to begin their retreat.

At this moment, something strange happened.

That so-called robber, he can't beat anyone!

The crowd rushed towards him, but he calmly pulled out a gourd of wine, drinking and begging for mercy as he beat everyone to the ground.

The gang leader looked at him, his head buzzing.

He nodded: "I see you've had too much to drink. I'm not going to rob you. You can go now."

The robber lifted his mask and took a sip of his drink: "Damn it, without the luminous pearl, I'm not going anywhere!"
