Lin Song and Feng Qi's faces turned white, and Feng Qi's teeth were even trembling constantly, "Ye...Ye...Prince Ye!"
Inside sat two groups of people, strikingly Prince Ye and United Hearts Gang's Gang Leader Lei Lingfeng!
"Who are you?" Ye Tian looked coldly at Feng Qi and Lin Song outside, "Get in here!"
Feng Qi and Lin Song exchanged glances, then sheepishly walked in.
Feng Qi smiled ingratiatingly, "Crown Prince, I am the Feng Family's eldest, Feng Qi. My father is the Chief of Public Security, Feng Yunshan."
Ye Tian nodded his head, "So it's you, what's with all the noise outside! Don't you know that I'm here hosting esteemed guests?"
Bowing her waist, Feng Qi smiled, "I heard that the Crown Prince was here, so I wanted to pay my respects. I never expected this little misunderstanding!"
"Oh, really?" Ye Tian looked at Feng Qi with a smile, terror sweat began seeping from her forehead.
"Since that's the case, you two just stand aside!" Ye Tian said.
Feng Qi and Lin Song felt a sigh of relief, then found a secluded spot to sit down.
"Gang Leader Lei, although Flame Hall has joined with us to become one of Yanjing's Three Great Underworld Forces, we all know very well that the people of Flame Hall are no cause for concern! Right now, there's an excellent opportunity before Gang Leader Lei. I wonder if you are interested?"
Grazing his ring, Lei Lingfeng smiled and said, "I wonder what opportunity Prince Ye is referring to..."
"Absorbing Flame Hall and ruling the Yanjing Underworld!" Prince Ye said indifferently.
Lei Lingfeng's heart stirred, and he said, "Prince Ye's words strike at the heart! Even if United Hearts Gang had the intention, we lack the strength, and besides, the higher-ups would never allow the Underworld in Yanjing to unify. That does not align with their interests!"
Taking a sip of coffee, Prince Ye smiled and said, "Since I brought it up, naturally I have my reasons! Indeed, the Underworld can never contend with the state apparatus, but Gang Leader Lei, have you never thought about cooperating with the state?"
Lei Lingfeng's gaze flickered, "What do you mean by that?"
Ye Tian said quietly, "In this world, there is light and there is dark. No matter how powerful a country is, there are shadows it cannot touch, giving rise to the Underworld! The people at the top know this, that's why they turn a blind eye to Yanjing's Underworld. In other words, we are merely a product of their tacit consent! Once they decide to wipe us out, we wouldn't have any power to fight back!
Gang Leader Lei, you do acknowledge this, don't you?"
Although the words were a bit harsh, Lei Lingfeng slowly nodded his head in agreement, as this tacit understanding was well known.
"However, the situation has now changed!" Prince Ye spoke in a low voice, "Gang Leader Lei, have you heard of the Werewolf incident?"
Lei Lingfeng frowned and said in a deep voice, "Of course I've heard of it. It is said that because of this incident, the higher-ups are very dissatisfied with the Underworld, believing that some Underworld forces provided assistance to the Werewolf!"
Slapping his palm, Prince Ye said, "Exactly, this incident is an opportunity! Because of this, the people at the top have already decided to reorganize Yanjing's Underworld forces. However, there is one condition, this newly-formed power must obey the nation's orders!"
Ling Feng's breathing became somewhat rapid, if what Ye Tian said was true, this was absolutely an opportunity that comes once in a millennium!
Yanjing is where? This was the Imperial Capital! To be able to unify the Underworld of the Imperial Capital would mean, he could be called the uncrowned king of Huaxia's Underworld!
"However, why are you telling me this?" Lei Lingfeng's eyes blazed as he looked at Ye Tian and said, "I think the people above would feel more at ease compared to the Taizi Club, wouldn't they?"
"You're right!" Ye Tian said with a light chuckle, "But the Taizi Club has a serious flaw, which is being too closely connected with the people above! It's no exaggeration to say that forty percent of the younger generation in Yanjing are members of our Taizi Club! Do you think they will let the Taizi Club become the Underworld leader of Yanjing?"
"For them, the underground forces can never go public! If the ties are too deep, it holds no benefit for their political career!" Ye Tian said with a smile, "Gang Leader Lei, you understand now, don't you? Apart from you, only Fierce Flame Hall's Wei Meizi has the strength, but I don't like Black Widow Wei Meizi, so I want to cooperate with you!"
Lei Lingfeng understood that the people above wanted to consolidate the underground forces and needed an obedient sharp knife, and Prince Ye also wanted to use this opportunity to soar to great heights! And who this sharp knife would be, Ye Tian had chosen himself!
However, Lei Lingfeng also had some doubts in his heart. Although what Ye Tian said had no flaws, this matter was of great importance, a slight misstep could even bring about a catastrophe!
Although Fierce Flame Hall's strength was slightly weaker, being known as one of the Three Great Powers, its foundation was not something Lei Lingfeng could easily shake!
"Gang Leader Lei, you don't need to be so troubled!" Ye Tian said with a gentle laugh, "I am simply giving you a heads up! It won't be long before you will learn about this news as well! After all, integrating the Underworld is something that can't happen without involving United Hearts Gang and Fierce Flame Hall!"
Lei Lingfeng lifted his head and said, "Very well, I'll go back and prepare for this. If it's as Prince Ye says, I, Lei Lingfeng, will not forget this kindness!"
The preliminary intention to cooperate had been established by the leaders of both sides.
Lei Lingfeng left, and Ye Tian's eyes narrowed, contemplating something unknown. This opportunity was rare, and to get what he wanted, Ye Tian had to firmly seize this chance. Only then could he rightfully reclaim what was his.
Meanwhile, Feng Qi and Lin Song had turned extremely pale; they hadn't expected Ye Tian to reach such a staggering agreement with Lei Lingfeng here! It was conceivable that the Underworld of Yanjing would experience a tumultuous bloodbath in the future. Joined by United Hearts Gang and the Taizi Club, who could stand against them?
"You two... you know what to do, right?" At that moment, Ye Tian's voice came through, and Feng Qi and Lin Song quickly nodded.
Some things are best left to rot in the heart forever!
At this point, the doorbell rang, and Chen Qi walked in. Seeing Feng Qi and Lin Song, he nodded slightly; he had a bit of an impression of these two.
"Crown Prince, here is all the information on that person!" Saying so, Chen Qi handed a stack of documents to Ye Tian.
Lin Song caught a fleeting glimpse and saw a familiar photo, exclaiming involuntarily with a "huh."
"Lin Song, do you have something to say?" Chen Qi asked, looking at Lin Song.
Lin Song pointed at the stack of documents and said, "This person on top, I find him somewhat familiar!"
The person Lin Song was pointing to was none other than the photo of Ling Feng!
