Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Du Pengfei (2)_1

However, fortunately, just as he had received his first task from his superiors, which was to come to Capital City and stir up the Underworld there, he got captured.

"Hehe, I know, I shouldn’t have betrayed my country, I shouldn’t have worked for Country Y. To tell the truth, when I was captured by you yesterday, I actually felt a sense of relief," said Du Pengfei, sitting there, his expression having shifted from initial surprise to calmness. He hadn’t expected that the intelligence network of the Dragon Society was so powerful that it managed to find out all his information.

What he couldn’t have imagined was that his information hadn’t been unearthed by the people of the Dragon Society, but rather, he had revealed it himself.

"So, are you interested in cooperating with us?" It was only after listening to what Du Pengfei said yesterday that Situ Xin changed her mind and decided to spare him. Otherwise, Situ Xin wouldn’t have wasted so much time on Du Pengfei.

"Cooperate with you?" Du Pengfei didn’t understand what Situ Xin meant. Or rather, Du Pengfei didn’t understand what kind of cooperation Situ Xin was referring to. He definitely didn’t think that the Dragon Society wanted to cooperate with Country Y.

"Yes, cooperate with us. To cooperate in purging Country Y’s influence from your Green Tiger Gang," said Situ Xin casually.

Du Pengfei hadn’t expected that the cooperation Situ Xin was talking about would be this. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What’s your purpose in doing this?" Du Pengfei didn’t doubt the truth of Situ Xin’s words or the Dragon Society’s ability to do so. Rather, he believed that there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If Situ Xin said she wanted to cooperate, then she must have an ulterior motive.

"Hehe, the purpose? The purpose is quite simple. It’s to become everlasting partners with our Dragon Society. And, when I need the help of your Green Tiger Gang, you must lend a hand," Situ Xin said this, also considering her family.

After thinking it over, Du Pengfei responded, "Alright, I agree to cooperate with you." However, Du Pengfei felt it strange. With the current power of the Dragon Society, coupled with the fact that he was now detained by them, the underworld forces of Province Z should be like a dragon without a head. It wouldn’t be impossible for the Dragon Society to take over the underworld in Province Z. So why bother to cooperate with him?

Situ Xin hadn’t simply gone to take over the underworld in Province Z as Du Pengfei mentioned. It was easy to take it over, but managing it afterward was not. Moreover, Province Z was not far from Capital City, so deciding who to send there to manage was difficult. Therefore, after consideration, Situ Xin thought it was better to let Du Pengfei continue in charge, as long as he ensured that he would not oppose the Dragon Society in the future.

Nor could Situ Xin have imagined that although she didn’t take over the underworld of Province Z, in the near future, the Green Tiger Gang’s attitude towards her would become the same as towards the Dragon Society. Of course, this was a story for another time.

After talking with Du Pengfei for most of the day, Situ Xin walked out of the small room. As soon as she stepped out, she saw Liu Yuxiang pacing anxiously outside the door. "Ay, Mentor, you’re finally out." "Is there something you need from me?" Situ Xin asked Liu Yuxiang, who seemed so anxious she thought something might have happened.

"No, I was just worried about you," Liu Yuxiang said, a bit embarrassed. Upon hearing Liu Yuxiang’s words, Situ Xin’s eyes widened in surprise. Worry about her? With her current skill, who could harm her? Still, Situ Xin was somewhat touched by Liu Yuxiang’s words.

"Alright, I’m fine. By the way, let Du Pengfei out later. Find him a room with better conditions," Situ Xin said as she sat on Baibai and headed to the top floor office.

"What? Let Du Pengfei out?" Liu Yuxiang thought there must be something wrong with his ears.

"Yes, you heard right. I’ll tell you about Du Pengfei’s situation later," Situ Xin said after reaching the top floor. Then she briefly informed Liu Yuxiang about some matters regarding Du Pengfei. Then she spoke, "Regarding the cooperation between the Dragon Society and Du Pengfei, I will give you a plan tomorrow. Then, take it and discuss it with Xia Yujie and Du Pengfei."

After hearing about Du Pengfei, Liu Yuxiang did not view him as unfavorably as before, but he still had some misgivings about Situ Xin’s approach. "Mentor, why don’t we take this opportunity to annex the underworld of Province Z?" "And after annexing, who will manage it? You should know that annexing is easy, but managing it is a big deal. If there isn’t a suitable person to manage, Province Z will become a ticking bomb," Situ Xin said, looking into Liu Yuxiang’s eyes. "If you’re willing to go to Province Z, I won’t mind taking over the underworld there."

As soon as Situ Xin made this suggestion, Liu Yuxiang shook his head vigorously. "Mentor, no, I’m good staying in Capital City. I think cooperating with Du Pengfei is a good idea." Liu Yuxiang didn’t want to leave Capital City. He still wanted to stay by Situ Xin’s side and learn martial arts.

"Okay, then discuss this matter with Xia Yujie. I’m heading back," Situ Xin said.

The next day, Situ Xin wrote out the plan for reorganizing the Green Tiger Gang and driving out Country Y’s forces, and she handed it over to Liu Yuxiang.

After receiving the plan, Liu Yuxiang shared the idea of cooperating with the Green Tiger Gang as Situ Xin had mentioned, with Xia Yujie. When Xia Yujie heard this, he didn’t ask incessantly like Liu Yuxiang but pondered for a while and then understood the significance of Situ Xin’s actions. He didn’t object, but instead, he went to find Du Pengfei personally and discussed Situ Xin’s proposed plan with him.

And Du Pengfei, knowing that the plan was written by Situ Xin, was quite astonished. Although he knew from his interactions with Situ Xin that she was extraordinary, he had never imagined that her thoughts were so meticulous.

After the plan was presented, Situ Xin also found time to give Du Pengfei some training before he returned to Province Z. When he saw Situ Xin’s face, he was slightly surprised. Fortunately, Situ Xin was still young at the time and had not yet fully grown; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been just a slight surprise.

Du Pengfei found that every time he interacted with Situ Xin, he was always notably shocked. When he saw Situ Xin extend her hand, he no longer knew what expression he should display.

This made Liu Yuxiang, who was watching from the side with delight, run over to Du Pengfei and laugh, "Haha, how about that, were you scared by how formidable my mentor is? Let me tell you, my mentor’s prowess is not just what you see here."
