snort!"
Faced with Qin Songbai's harsh words before leaving, the members of the Black Dragon organization remained indifferent and disdainful.
"These few rotten garlic cloves don't even deserve to be associated with Brother Jiang! They even dared to come and inspect? They're not worthy..."
"Exactly! Do they really think Brother Jiang takes them seriously? They're just playing with clowns..."
"Just wait and see what happens..."
They all knew, more or less, that Brother Jiang had absolutely no interest in these relatives from his hometown in the mountain city.
Even among his relatives in Lianhua Township, Brother Jiang didn't care much, let alone his hometown in the distant mountain city.
Still acting so arrogantly, they really don't understand the situation!
...
Soon, Qin Shouye and his convoy arrived at the north gate of Songjiang Never Sleeping City, which has four gates: east, west, south, and north.
South Gate!
This is the main entrance! It's the gate through which Songjiang Never Sleeps welcomes visitors! Almost all tourists from outside enter through this gate.
East Gate!
It's the auxiliary gate! When the flow of people is very large, the east gate is opened, which will disperse the flow of people entering and exiting. At the same time, the east gate is close to the food street, and locals will enter from the east gate to go straight to the food.
West Gate!
It's the gate to the mansion! This gate is close to many luxurious mansions near Songjiang Never Sleeps City. People who live in these mansions usually enter and exit through this gate, which helps them avoid large crowds. There is also a lot of greenery on this side, making it much quieter. It's a peaceful oasis amidst the hustle and bustle.
North Gate!
It's the back door! No one except members of the Black Dragon Group is allowed to enter or exit through this door; it's guarded 24 hours a day.
Entering through the North Gate leads directly to the headquarters of the Heilong Group! It occupies a considerable area, approximately one-tenth the size of the Songjiang Everbright City. Don't underestimate one-tenth; the Songjiang Everbright City covers a vast area, and one-tenth of it could easily accommodate 10,000 to 20,000 people if it were only used for office work.
boom...
This time, Qin Shouye and his convoy headed straight for the North Gate.
But this time:
They were stopped by the railing before they even got close to the North Gate, where several stern-looking Black Dragon personnel stared at them with sharp eyes.
Qin Songbai: "Honestie!"
beep...
The driver honked the horn!
The Black Dragon personnel remained unmoved, showing no intention of stopping the barrier. Instead, nearby Black Dragon personnel ran towards the scene in unison, their faces cold as they stared at the vehicles, some already holding black umbrellas.
See here.
Qin Shouye, Qin Songbai, and others dared not be presumptuous.
Whoosh...
Qin Songbai rolled down the car window, stuck his head out, and looked at the Black Dragon personnel, saying, "My name is Qin Songbai! I'm your chairman! Qin Jiang invited us here... Open the gate!"
The captain of the guard strode over, looking at Qin Songbai and the others with indifferent eyes, and said, "Get out of the car!"
Qin Songbai: "Ah..."
Guard Captain: "What?! Everyone get out of the car!"
Qin Songbai: "We're here for an inspection! We were invited by your Chairman Qin?"
The guard captain said, "Vehicles without serial numbers are not allowed to enter the Black Dragon headquarters; you must enter on foot!"
Qin Songbai: "What serial number? I'm Qin Jiang's brother!"
The guard captain's face turned even colder when he heard him call Qin Jiang by his full name: "First of all, you can't just call Brother Jiang by his name like that. Secondly: Don't get out of the car! Don't leave!"
Having just suffered a setback at the entrance of the Heilong Group on Xuefu Road, Qin Shouye was no longer in a good mood. After being coldly reprimanded by the Heilong personnel, he could only say, "Get out of the car!"
Whoosh...
Qin Shouye, Qin Songbai, and others got out of the car and then led more than a dozen bodyguards inside...
"Wait..." The guard captain looked at Qin Shouye and the others, "You can go in!" He then looked at the remaining bodyguards, "As for these people waiting here, they are not allowed to enter!!!"
Before Qin Songbai and the others could even get angry, the bodyguards were all trembling with fear and retreating.
Qin Songbai: "Why are you retreating?"
The bodyguards waved their hands frantically, not daring to move forward at all.
"Um...we're not doing it...we can't do this job..."
"Yes! We'll refund your money...we'll leave now..."
:"goodbye..."
They bowed and scraped to the Black Dragon personnel before turning and running away without hesitation—they ran incredibly fast! They had initially assumed Qin Shouye and Qin Songbai were relatives of the King of Shenjiang—of high status! Being their bodyguard was naturally an honor, and they had secretly fought amongst themselves for the positions. These past few days, they had been incredibly dedicated, even secretly hoping these people would join the Black Dragon Group and become big shots so they could rise to power along with them. But now, the situation was clearly different!
.....
These people quickly disappeared!
They ran until they reached a secluded corner before stopping, when a dozen or so bodyguards were present. One of the bodyguards asked in confusion:
Why are we running?
"I also feel there's no need to run?"
"Brother Niu! What's the reason?"
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Their gazes fell on the leading bodyguard: Brother Niu! It was Brother Niu who had just given them the signal to leave.
Brother Niu: "What do you know? Haven't you noticed the problem? If the Black Dragon personnel at the Black Dragon Group gate on Xuefu Road were rude because they were from a branch and didn't recognize Qin Shouye and his group, these Black Dragon personnel in front of us clearly know who Qin Shouye and his group are. Even after knowing their identities, they're still cold and indifferent, not even letting us drive in... We're being turned away. What does that mean?"
Someone said, "Is this a show of force?"
Brother Niu: "There might be an even more serious problem. These people are too arrogant. I originally thought they were really important to Brother Jiang, but now it seems they're just using him as a shield! My intuition tells me that this group of people probably won't have a good ending! As for us! We simply can't afford to gamble!"
"We won the gamble! Judging from the current situation, it might be difficult for these people to even join the Black Dragon Group, let alone bring us along!"
"We lost the bet! If the Black Dragon Group and everyone else hold a grudge against us, then we're completely finished."
The other bodyguards also realized that this was the case, but some still felt that Brother Niu's analysis might not be accurate. However, due to Brother Niu's prestige and status, they did not say anything. But if Brother Niu's guess was wrong this time, his prestige within the group would surely be destroyed.
......
North Gate!
As Qin Shouye, Qin Songbai, and the others watched the numerous bodyguards flee in fear, their imposing aura diminished further. Facing the cold-faced Black Dragon personnel, they dared not question them further.
Qin Shouye: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do! Lead the way!"
The guard captain assigned a member of the Black Dragon organization: "Take them to their headquarters." At the same time, he told Qin Shouye, Qin Songbai, and the others: "Don't wander off on the road, or don't blame me if something happens."
Qin Shouye:...
Others:...
They opened their mouths but ultimately said nothing, following the black-clad man who was leading the way into the fenced area.
...
at the same time.
Inside the new headquarters of Heilongjiang!
Zhu Zheng received the message and said to Qin Jiang:
"Brother Jiang! They're here..."
"Arrangements have been made to ensure their journey is fraught with hardship, and they are expected to be extremely angry upon arrival."
Qin Jiang: "Angry? They're still angry about to get even more..."
