The beautiful CEO falls in love with me

Chapter 781: Chapter 757:

"Hmm, that makes sense!" Zhang Dadan felt the little brother’s analysis was very reasonable. It took over two hours to drive from Jianghuai City to Tongzhou City. Such a long distance, coupled with the need to transport so many people, was indeed a difficult challenge. Moreover, moving so many people out, they were bound to make a big show of it, and the chances of achieving a surprise attack seemed slim. Slogging that far for battle would likely further dampen their morale. Zhang Dadan laughed heartily and said, "That being the case, it looks like our Mad Dragon Gang is safe!"

"Brother Dandan, if you ask me, we should take our territory back!" The little brother, full of righteous indignation, said, "Why should the Heavenly Reversal Gang fight with us over territory? They are just a gathering of third-rate gangs, and now they’re so cocky. If you ask me, we should just strike back at Jianghuai City!"

"No way!" Zhang Dadan immediately waved his hand and said, "Now is probably not the right time. We need to gather enough manpower and then boost the morale before we can figure out a way to strike back!"

"Yes, big brother!" The little brothers all nodded in agreement.

Just at that moment, a little brother who was a sentry rushed in, running and shouting, "Brother Dandan, someone is looking for you!"

"Shit, who is it?" Zhang Dadan asked curiously.

"A tall, dark man, over one meter ninety tall, he says he knows you, that he’s an old acquaintance of yours!" The little brother panted; a mad dash had indeed left him breathless. Zhang Dadan, taken aback, asked, "Huh? Do I know such a person? Why don’t I remember?"

"Well... should I just kick him out then?" The sentry had initially thought it was some friend of Zhang Dadan, but to his surprise, Zhang Dadan had no recollection of this person, so the little brother immediately felt annoyed. Could it be that the tall guy was just fooling him?

"Don’t, a visitor is a guest after all, let him in!" Zhang Dadan immediately said.

"Alright!" The little brother hastily ran out.

Outside the door, a tall man wearing a duckbill cap walked in from outside. He strode with the gait of a tiger, carrying a simple luggage bag that looked heavy, the contents unknown to all. However, judging by the guy’s whole aura, he was certainly not someone ordinary. A few little brothers followed him cautiously, remaining alert.

Two personal little brothers followed close behind the man. Their aura was also extraordinary, and people from the Mad Dragon Gang who saw them felt inferior. Indeed, these were men used to dealing with big affairs.

Zhang Dadan sat upright in the sofa in the hall, tapping his crossed leg, and looked curiously at the three men walking in. The leading man caught Zhang Dadan’s attention; this guy was over one meter ninety tall with bulging muscles, wearing a black tight-fitting vest, and carried a simple luggage bag, looking very strong indeed. However, it was unclear how he performed in actual combat.

"A friend comes from afar!" Zhang Dadan welcomed them with a chuckle and said, "Brothers, serve our honored guest some tea!"

"No need for that!" The man with the tanned face smiled and deliberately pressed down the brim of his hat, then said with a smile, "I just have something to discuss with you!"

"Oh? Please have a seat!" Zhang Dadan laughed and then motioned for the two to sit. Zhang Dadan, curious, asked, "I heard you know me? Could you explain?"

"You really don’t know?" The tanned-faced man smiled.

"Er... I honestly don’t know!" Zhang Dadan immediately shook his head.

"Haha... I’m afraid you really don’t know, but if I mention someone, you’ll definitely know him!" The tanned-faced man laughed and said, "Recently, I was chased all over by Zhang Bufen, and now... do you understand?"

"Ah! You... you’re Hei Hu!" Zhang Dadan immediately widened his eyes.

"It seems you do know me!" Hei Hu chuckled and took off his duckbill cap, revealing a shiny bald head and an evil smile. Zhang Dadan immediately said, "Where, where, Brother Hei Hu’s fame is indeed well-known!"

"Haha..." Hei Hu laughed heartily, "No, no, Brother Dandan, it’s your name that’s really well-known now!"

The two showered each other with compliments, and time flew by swiftly. In the blink of an eye, several minutes had passed. However, Zhang Dadan was extremely anxious. He had heard about Hei Hu’s "legendary" status—a gang leader infamous for his wicked deeds. Yet, Zhang Dadan had no clue why Hei Hu had sought him out. Could it be that Hei Hu had an eye on his small territory? If that were the case, he might well have to step down and yield his position. Hei Hu’s notoriety was well-known.

"Um... I’m not sure why Brother Hei Hu has come to see me..." Zhang Dadan asked curiously.

"Hehe, let’s get down to business!" Hei Hu, with a cigar thick as two fingers between his lips, let out a laugh and said, "I heard that Brother Dandan was beaten to a pulp by the Heavenly Reversal Gang and even chased out of Jianghuai City? Displaced like a stray dog—I wonder if there’s any truth to that!"

"No, no, not at all!" Zhang Dadan, eager to save face, planned to take revenge for his defeat sooner or later. How could he possibly admit to being beaten? So, he quickly denied the incident with the Heavenly Reversal Gang.

"Haha, it doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it!" Hei Hu laughed and continued, "This time I’ve come to talk to Brother Dandan about a partnership. Back in the Northeast, my Fierce Tiger Gang was driven to ruin by the Heavenly Reversal Gang. If not for the support of the Japanese, I’d probably be dead by now!"

"Uh? How do we collaborate?" Zhang Dadan only caught the word "collaborate" but didn’t mention anything else.

"We join forces against the Heavenly Reversal Gang!" Hei Hu revealed a smile and explained, "There’s no need for me to elaborate on the strength of the Heavenly Reversal Gang. Neither my Fierce Tiger Gang nor your Mad Dragon Gang could stand against them alone, so I think, might as well unite and take out the Heavenly Reversal Gang once and for all!"

"But the domestic forces are just a fraction of the Heavenly Reversal Gang. Their real power lies abroad! How then shall we eliminate them?" Zhang Dadan asked eagerly.

"Haha, that’s not a problem!" Hei Hu laughed and assured him, "Their division of forces is a benefit for us. We concentrate our strength and wipe out one of their factions, inflicting a huge loss on the Heavenly Reversal Gang. We’re bound to confront them sooner or later, so taking out one of their members is one less to worry about. What does Brother Dandan think?"

Zhang Dadan’s eyes whirled as he crossed his legs and began to bluster. He was a greedy man, or else he wouldn’t have been wiped out by Ye Chen. With a smile, he said, "I’d cooperate with you, give my best, but I don’t see what’s in it for me!"

Clang...

Hei Hu tossed a simple duffel bag at his feet, saying, "If Brother Dandan agrees to collaborate, Jianghuai City’s territory will still be yours. And these items will be yours as well!"

Zhang Dadan was startled and swiftly fumbled with the bag, which was surprisingly heavy, weighing at least dozens of kilograms. He yanked open the bag’s zipper and suddenly, a golden light shimmered within. Dumbfounded, Zhang Dadan looked at the hefty gold bars inside, along with the glittering diamonds lying at the bottom of the bag, and his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

"Shit..." Zhang Dadan greedily swallowed his saliva. Such precious items stored in a simple duffel bag—if there were to be the smallest hole, he feared the diamonds might all spill out. He quietly estimated the contents of the bag to be worth at least several million. Swallowing hard, he forcibly calmed himself down, then pushed the bag aside with a chuckle, "One mustn’t accept a reward without merit. Such a generous gift—I’m afraid I can’t justify accepting it!"

"Haha, the conditions are simple: we join forces against the Heavenly Reversal Gang!" Hei Hu blew on the tea in his hands, took a sip, and said, "When the time comes, you’ll follow my orders, and together we’ll strike at the Heavenly Reversal Gang!"

"Besides us, who else is in?" Zhang Dadan asked urgently. The temptation was too strong; he was already set to confront the Heavenly Reversal Gang, and now he had a partner to help him, offering him millions. How could he decline? Zhang Dadan was inwardly thrilled, trying only to suppress his overwhelming excitement.

"I’ll continue contacting other forces, like the Gray Wolf Gang and the Thirteen Eagles..." Hei Hu said with a faint smile.

Sst...

Zhang Dadan gasped, "Shit," marveling at Hei Hu’s might. To be able to pull together two massive gangs from the Northwest and Southwest—if these two gangs also pitched in, their strength would surge uncontrollably.

"Good!" Zhang Dadan immediately nodded, saying, "Since Brother Hei Hu has offered so generously, how could I refuse? It’s settled then. If we’re going to hit the Heavenly Reversal Gang, you need only say the word, Brother Hei Hu!"

"Haha, that’s excellent, just excellent!" Hei Hu laughed heartily.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Hei Hu took his leave, and an agreement was reached. Hei Hu was not afraid of Zhang Dadan reneging. First, he had complete control over Zhang Dadan’s strength, and besides, the Dragon Gang and the Thirteen Eagles had already agreed to cooperate with him. It would be fine if Zhang Dadan behaved, but if he were to play dirty, Hei Hu would muster his forces to crush him with a thunderous blow.
