Chapter 324: Chapter 13: Three People with Their Own Plans_3
Tan Lang stood there, legs slightly apart, hands clasped together, his expression as sincere as possible.
Old Jiang also stood silently beside him, half of his body hidden in the darkness, with no one noticing his tense nerves.
...
Li Xiaotian waited quietly here.
Soon, immense wealth would come rushing in, with brothers around guarding tightly, with their people under the shadow of every pillar.
This was also to guard against being double-crossed.
However.
Being in this environment, Li Xiaotian never let his guard down, his daily sixth sense was also very sharp.
In theory, all of them were trusted, so it should be foolproof...but.
He looked around, always feeling that something was off.
The brothers appeared cautious; Tan Lang and Old Jiang, his two reliable aides, were beside him, while other middle and high ranks were scattered throughout the market, unable to get involved...
Li Xiaotian thought carefully and suddenly realized something terrifying—
Why did all these faces seem so unfamiliar, leaving him with no impression at all?!
He walked around the scene again and again, observing all the hidden people in turn.
Their expressions were tense, bodies straight, exceptionally vigilant. Whenever he got close, the person would immediately appear more focused.
—Something’s not right.
His subordinates, to be blunt, had shed blood often; naturally, they would want to prove themselves in such a major event. But most of them hadn’t received formal training; who could stand still for half a day without moving?
But Tan Lang and Old Jiang had not even the slightest doubt about these unfamiliar faces, and the key positions were all arranged meticulously.
Was he being too suspicious, or was there really something he hadn’t noticed?
At this moment, Li Xiaotian had not yet realized it was an undercover police operation; he simply diverted his thinking in another direction.
—For so many years, he never appeared in person, with all the formal work being done by Tan Lang; could it be that he had nurtured the other’s ambition?
This group of strangers, whom he had no impression of at all, could they be manpower borrowed from some partners? Or were they secretly raised by him?
Li Xiaotian’s expression gradually turned icy.
"I’m going out for a bit."
He subtly probed.
Old Jiang, however, spoke up at this time: "Brother Li, it’s likely those guys are observing us now. To be safe, we should move around less, our brothers are here, safe."
Frankly, Old Jiang was also puzzled about the manpower Tan Lang brought.
There wasn’t a single familiar face, past data seemed to all become obsolete. He also thought of what Li Xiaotian could think of—
Could it be that Tan Lang wanted to usurp the position and become the leader himself?
Either way, it was also a good thing, just the right opportunity for him to take advantage, to find the precise timing in this struggle, to once again elevate his position, then he could collect more evidence.
Currently, Li Xiaotian was highly vigilant; though he chose the identity of Old Jiang, all core affairs were still in Tan Lang’s hands, making it indeed a bit difficult to do anything.
...
Facing his suggestion, Li Xiaotian understood—
No wonder recently all reports were made by Old Jiang alongside Tan Lang; the two had already reached a collaboration at this point!
He stood there, nodding slightly, but in his mind, he was swiftly thinking of a way to get out of this situation.
Trusting Tan Lang too much, to the point where he had no available manpower, it was now impossible for him to force his way out of this place.
Thus, the only plan was to wait for the clients with whom the collaboration was discussed to arrive. Then he could take the opportunity to disrupt the scene, making it easier for him to fish in troubled waters and escape this deadlock.
Thinking again of that utterly frustrating Bai Mengyu, and recalling Tan Lang’s previous advice...
Li Xiaotian cursed in his heart—
Damn it.
He insisted that such a foolish woman was hard to find in this world; it turned out Tan Lang had arranged it intentionally to break his will!
Li Xiaotian’s abnormal expression was obviously noticed by Tan Lang.
But he didn’t care.
Everything was now under control, surrounded so tightly that unless he intentionally let someone go, there was no way Li Xiaotian could escape.
Looking again at the brothers who, after brief training, had initially shed the rigid aura of SWAT officers...
Tan Lang was confident about tonight’s operation!
Three people, three different thoughts, at this moment reached a bizarre balance.
All that was left was the arrival of the major clients.
...
PM, deep night.
Several low-key cars drove into the long-abandoned construction site, clients coming from neighboring provinces and cities, wary at heart, each bringing capable subordinates.
