Chapter 313: Backing

While we chatted and laughed, the cutting progress on the surveillance footage finished. I marked down the few stores that the Shi family still owned. As they say, a tooth for a tooth.
Since Sky City’s headquarters was thrashed, why not give them a taste of their own medicine?
Even though the Shi Family was on its way down, that didn’t mean we shouldn’t help them on their descend. After all, my people had their vent their fury somewhere.
However, in the end, I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I circled three nightclubs and arranged for my people to attack during the day. There would be fewer people, thus fewer casualties.
Su Qian and Su Shen looked at the list of nightclubs, and they smiled at each other. They didn’t say anything. I noticed this and grumbled, “I’m just doing this for our people to vent their anger. Plus, this is just the beginning. I’m not yet done. Furthermore, Shi Feng isn’t at these places either. Why be so ruthless for no reason?”
Su Shen sighed. “Sister Xing, you’re too kind-hearted. How are you going to survive in the underworld?”
I sighed. “Isn’t that why I have you two?”
The two shook their heads helplessly. They were disappointed in me.
However, I still couldn’t find Shi Li’s hideout. This was surprising to me. It shocked Su Qian and Su Shen too.
“What is the meaning of this? Didn’t he want the ransom? How is he going to collect the money if he keeps on hiding?” Su Shen was confused.
Su Qian answered. “I believe this is because we’re not the only one looking for them. Isn’t that the way of the underworld? The wolves come out after the top dog is down. Shi Li has offended many people in the past. However, no one dared to retaliate because of the Shi family’s power. But now…
“The fact that Shi Li is in hiding means that he is cornered. In that case, we don’t need to worry about Ah Mang and Ah Si’s safety. He will not kill them. He still needs them to leverage with Sister Xing.”
Su Qian’s analysis was very logical. I nodded my head in agreement and gave her a big thumbs up. I was thinking about the same thing.
Su Shen glanced at me. “Nanxing, aren’t you going to ask Master Si and Master Qi for help?”
I stretched lazily.
“No, but I’m afraid they’re going to find out anyway.” There was no way this news was not going to get out. Even Su Qian and Su Shen were bodyguards they had assigned to me. Those two men probably knew Sky City better than I did.
However, they respected me and gave me this chance. I didn’t ask for help, so they didn’t provide me with one. However, they would keep a close watch on my movements.
How did Sky City survive in the underworld even though it was so weak? Because we had very strong support. This was something everyone and I in the underworld knew.
The theory went like this, if you find trouble with Sky City’s Sister Xing, you might as well have provoked Dragon’s Gate and Ardent Flame Alliance.
Normally these two forces would never work together, but if you challenged Sky City, then they would jump at you simultaneously.
At that moment, Su Qian and Su Shen’s phone vibrated. “It’s them,” they said in unison.
Gao Jing and Gao Da were looking for them. I looked at them. After they said their hellos, they handed their phones to me.
I cleared my throat. “Brother Xiao Jing, Brother Gao Da, it’s me!”
The two men were instantly silent.
Su Qian and Su Shen pursed their lips into a smile.
I continued, “You already know everything, so I won’t explain myself. I’m waiting for the Shi Family to contact me.. I need to save my people, so I need the ransom money.”
