Section 176: Ambition

"Brother, I've got my eyes on him." Inside the Hongsheng Hotel, Xiaobanzi stood respectfully before Liu Qing, reporting in a low voice.

"What happened last night" Liu Qing held a cigarette in her hand, extinguished it in the ashtray, and then stared at Xiaobianzi and asked.

"The Azure Wolf and the Black Fox are fighting," Xiao Bianzi whispered.

A complex expression flashed across Liu Qing's face, and he nodded slightly. After a moment of contemplation, he continued, "What's the old man's reaction"

Last night, Uncle Qi gave an order, demanding that each faction keep their men in check and absolutely avoid conflict with them. Now, the only thing to do is endure. Xiaobanzi relayed the information Uncle Qi had passed on yesterday. Last night, Liuqin was sleeping with that cheongsam woman in his arms, and Xiaobanzi didn't disturb him; he just passed on this information to the brothers below.

"Endure" Liu Qing frowned, as if thinking of something, the corners of her mouth curled upward, drawing a sneer, and then said: "How much longer do we have to endure"

After finishing his words, he let out a light, cold snort.

It has to be said, Liu Qing's ambition is huge. He wants to take down Lang and Heihu, for a very long time now. The thing is, he's currently just a hall master of the Nanlong Gang. Although he is the designated successor, Liu Tiannan hasn't fully handed over the Nanlong Gang to him yet.

At least, before verifying his abilities.

As the next leader of a gang, what could one possibly do Every time he thought about this, Liu Qing felt a sense of powerlessness, which then transformed into resentment towards his father. Since he had decided to take over as the next gang leader himself, why not give himself some more power

Ideal is full, reality is cruel. Liu Qing had to cultivate his own direct lineage and develop potential forces himself. But it was still a bit lacking.

After all this time, he had managed to cultivate six bodyguards. These six weren't bad at all; in terms of skill, they were probably only second to Qin Biao. Yesterday afternoon, he sent all six out on a mission: to kill Ye Fan.

And the little braid that always followed him closely, this fellow was quick-witted and had a plethora of bad ideas. Don't be fooled by his thin and small stature; those beady little mouse eyes kept rolling around, and in the blink of an eye, he could come up with a nasty scheme. After discovering this talent, Liu Qing immediately recruited him into his ranks, directly appointing him as his military strategist.

This braid is indeed quite capable. In recent years, it has helped Liu Qing accomplish a lot. Especially in the open and secret struggle with her younger brother Liu Jun, she made him suffer quite a bit.

Little Braid also knew Liu Qing's ambition. Seeing his composed face at the moment, he immediately said beside him: "Big brother, you don't have to wait long. I think now Canglang and Black Fox will soon start fighting. Let them fight first, we sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, wait until they are almost done fighting, then we will take the opportunity to wipe them out, and establish the position of the first largest gang in Linhai."

Xiao Bianzi is good in this regard, always able to say something that makes Liu Qing's blood boil at critical moments. As soon as these words were uttered, a blush appeared on Liu Qing's face, and he took over Xiao Bianzi's words: "Yes, watching the tigers fight from the mountain, forging the status of the first gang. Hahaha...Xiao Bianzi, I like you more and more..."

"To be appreciated by Big Brother is my honor," Little Braid said with a flattering smile, bowing her head.

"Go, get me that bottle of Bordeaux I have in my collection. You're drinking with old man today." Liu Qing waved his hand and said boldly.

"Oh." Little Braid nodded excitedly, then turned to walk towards the liquor cabinet.

The Ding family.

Cangkong held the tea Ding Ran had brewed for him, took a sip, and then put it down.

After the incident last night, Ding Lei seemed very calm and didn't summon him. It wasn't until morning that Ding's housekeeper called him, saying that Ding Lei wanted to see him.

Cao Kongkong knew what Ding Lei wanted to say, and he rushed there as soon as possible. Luckily, there wasn't the furious outburst he had expected. Ding Lei seemed very calm.

Kong Kong knew in his heart that Ding Lei could only calm down because of Ding Ran, who wore a chillingly cold smile on her face. Ding Zhang's daughter was terrifying; at just over twenty years old, she already possessed such skill that he couldn't help but be wary of her.

"Old Master," Ding Lei played with the Pi Xiu pendant in his hand and said faintly, "Do we need to report on what happened last night"

He nodded slightly, he had long been prepared for how to answer, calmly said: "Master Ding, last night was the reckless friction caused by the younger brother below, I have already dealt with it."

"Is that so" Ding Lei glanced at Cangkong, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Just a little friction"

"Yes." Cang Kong replied calmly, his face unchanged.

"That's good then." Ding Lei lightly placed the Pixiu ornament in his hand on the table. He picked up his teacup, blew away the loose tea leaves beside the cup, and took a small sip.

Throughout the entire conversation, Ding Lei remained expressionless, a stark contrast to his usual restlessness and anxiety. Though he was well aware that yesterday's events were more than just a simple disagreement, facing Cang Kongkong, this old family patriarch, who was as cunning as a fox, made him hesitate. Before he firmly secured the position of head of the family, there was no way he could intimidate Zhu Hu.

Ding Ran remained silent, only staring at Cang Kongkong. Her bright, sparkling eyes seemed to see right through him. Seeing her brother no longer speak, she suddenly interjected: "Old Master Cang, you are also an elder from my father's generation, aren't you My father was never unkind to you."

"Kongkong shook his head, looking serious and said, “Master Ding has been very kind to me.”

Ding Lei lowered his eyelids, but suddenly widened his eyes and stared at the ceiling. His tone was a bit unfriendly, with a hint of questioning as he said, "Last night, someone saw you went to Ding Chan's house."

"Yes," Cang Kong nodded. "After the incident last night, Ding Can asked me to come and inquire."

"That's it" Ding Lei continued to ask.

"Yes." Cang Kong wore a smile.

Ding Ran smiled faintly and said, "Old Master, let's end it here today. You should go back first."

Cangkong knew that Dingran had given him the order to leave. So he stood up, nodded at the two people, and then turned to walk outside.

As soon as he reached the door, Cang Kong heard Ding Lei's voice coming from inside.

"Old man, remember this: you'll always just be a dog of the Ding family. Without the Ding family, there is no Canglang. Now, take care of yourself."

Cang Kong's face changed slightly, but he didn't hesitate and left the Ding family courtyard directly.

After he left, Ding Ran said coldly, "That old fox."

"Brother, don't worry about him. The most important thing now is Ding Can and Ding Jianlin, they are our real opponents." Ding Ran said calmly.

Yes, the Azure Wolf Gang was only established by relying on the Ding family. Without the protection of the Ding family, it would have long since vanished into oblivion. Everything Cang Kongkong has today is ultimately given by the Ding family. Such a gang and figure, the Ding family could never take seriously.
