Li Zhen said, "Master Kun was the underground boss who dominated Yun City ten years ago. At that time, both Mountain Chicken and I were his underlings. Master Kun was ambitious and wanted to unify the Yun City underground, but faced resistance from several major factions at the time. It ended up in chaos and drew attention, leading to an operation from above that wiped out all major underground factions. Master Kun was imprisoned and soon died of illness. Since then, there have been no major factions in the Yun City underground. After many years, it has become a scattered state with many small factions, but due to its obscurity, no one else bothers with it."
Li Zhen's concern is that the Mountain Chicken Gang wants to unify Yun City's underground, which is following in Master Kun's footsteps and won't end well.
Mountain Chicken is brave but not smart, and his nature is fierce. If he truly unifies the Yun City underground, it will become a mess.
Li Zhen opposes Mountain Chicken; he doesn't attend the gatherings to show his stance. Li Zhen just wants to safeguard his own little territory.
However, under a toppled nest, no egg will remain intact. If Mountain Chicken truly causes trouble, Li Zhen will certainly be implicated; this is what concerns him.
Lin Fan was learning for the first time about the Yun City underground situation. It seems his visit is quite worthwhile.
"Given the situation, does Brother Zhen have any plans?" Lin Fan asked.
Li Zhen shook his head with a bitter smile, "What can I do? The Wei Family is aggressive and determined to succeed. Even if I want to stop them, it's not easy. I haven't fought anyone for years. Today's comparison with Miss An made me realize that I'm far past my prime. I might not even be a match for Mountain Chicken now. Or..."
Li Zhen paused, looking at Lin Fan, "If Mr. Lin and Miss An could lend a helping hand, maybe there's a glimmer of hope!"
It turns out Li Zhen invited Lin Fan and Anna because he wanted their help to stop Mountain Chicken Gang and the Wei Family!
Li Zhen said, "You two are masters among masters. With your help, we can prevent an underground catastrophe. If you two are willing to help me, I'll certainly treat you well. I'm not very wealthy, but I have the ability to improve your lives a bit."
Upon hearing this, Anna seemed to hear a joke, and almost laughed out loud.
Li Zhen didn't know that the man in front of him is the richest man in Yun City, trying to help the richest man improve his life?
Anna looked at Lin Fan, wondering how Mr. Lin would respond.
Lin Fan appeared to be in deep thought.
It turns out Lin Fan suddenly heard a system prompt in his mind.
"System task: Unify Yun City's underground.
Task Level: Important.
Task Progress: 0/100"
Lin Fan inwardly exclaimed; although the system seemed to have a bug, the bug seemed like a reward, and tasks continued to be issued.
This time, the system's task is for him to unify Yun City's underground?
Lin Fan broke a sweat; hearing Li Zhen say earlier, unifying Yun City's underground is a hot potato. If done wrong, it could bring disaster.
But now that it's a system task, Lin Fan has no choice but to complete it. It seems he needs to find a proper way to handle it.
"Alright, I agree with you. I will help you stop Mountain Chicken." Lin Fan said.
Anna was taken aback. What, Mr. Lin actually agreed with Li Zhen?
However, Anna quickly calmed down.
Since it's Lin Fan's decision, she will follow it.
Li Zhen was very happy, saying, "With you two helping me, it's great news. Mountain Chicken certainly won't succeed this time!"
Lin Fan suddenly said, "Brother Zhen, have you considered unifying Yun City's underground?"
Li Zhen was shocked, "Mr. Lin, what do you mean? I don't have such an idea. Master Kun's fate has always been a warning to me. It's better to be low-key and keep my little land."
Although Li Zhen is an underground boss now, he indeed hasn't fought anyone for years, not competing or vying.
He sees this as a life-saving principle.
That's why he opposes Mountain Chicken and focuses on managing his own little territory.
Due to other bosses' concerns about Li Zhen, nobody dares to provoke him, so he has been doing well over the years. His club business is thriving and so are a few other ventures, all generating a considerable income.
He's quite content now.
He absolutely doesn't want to unify the underground. High-profile people die quickly, just like Master Kun did.
Lin Fan said, "Mountain Chicken wants to be the king of Yun City's underground, so he has allied with the Wei Family, trying to leverage their power to achieve his goal. If they succeed, it will be a disaster for Yun City. But the Wei Family's involvement in Yun City leaves no room for retreat. The war has started; it will be either victory or defeat, success or failure. Brother Zhen wants to guard his little territory, but it's no longer possible. It's like the tumultuous times of the Three Kingdoms; the trend is a unified world, no one can remain untouched. Given this, why not be the king yourself!"
Li Zhen was stunned; this was the first time he heard such a statement, yet it was so profound, it felt like the truth!
The situation indeed is as Lin Fan said. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁
If there's definitely going to be a king, why not have that king be himself, since he doesn't want Mountain Chicken to be it?
Li Zhen felt a surge of heat in his heart, as if his long-stilled inner ambition was reignited.
One must know, back when Li Zhen followed Master Kun to conquer the world, he was a fierce warrior, only later struck by Master Kun's fate causing his heart to settle.
Unexpectedly, today, Lin Fan's words once again ignited his ambition.
Lin Fan didn't wait for him to decide, smiling, "Brother Zhen, you might consider it seriously, no need to rush a decision. I have some matters to attend to; I'll leave now. Three days later, let's meet at the underground gathering."
Lin Fan decisively left.
Only Li Zhen remained, lost in thought.
Outside the Moonlight Club.
They boarded the Rolls-Royce and returned to Yunding Manor.
Anna curiously asked, "Master, why did you say those words to Li Zhen? Do you intend to become the king of Yun City's underground?"
Lin Fan laughed, "You're quite clever. Whether Li Zhen becomes the king of Yun City's underground or not, I don't care. Yes, I want to be the king of Yun City's underground."
Anna felt a bit dazed.
Lin Fan once again made her admire him repeatedly.
Last time, Lin Fan said he wanted to be the richest man in Jiangnan; this time, he said he wanted to be the king of Yun City's underground.
Is this about going to war with the Wei Family?
Lin Fan is already the richest man in Yun City now, he indeed has the qualification to compete with Jiangnan Wei Family.
On the surface, Lin Fan persuaded Li Zhen to become the king of Yun City's underground, but in reality, Li Zhen will be just a puppet, and the real king will be Lin Fan!
This is Lin Fan's plan.
"I don't ever want to encounter what happened today again. These hoodlums blatantly causing trouble are really arrogant beyond measure. It's time to rewrite the rules of Yun City's underground."
Lin Fan said with a resolute look.
