Betrayal Again
Unknowingly, a storm was brewing. Qin Sheng had already started to take action in Hangzhou. Chang Baji and Bao Fan did not stop in Shanghai.
Late at night, by the seaside of Pudong, Shanghai, it was dark. Only the lighthouse in the distance and the sparks around could be seen. Obviously, this was an undeveloped place.
For many seaside cities, the coastline was definitely the most prosperous and lively place. However, for Shanghai, the most prosperous place was always the two sides of the Huangpu River. There were more ports and docks on the coastline.
Chang Baji and Bao Fan came here alone without bringing anyone with them. This was the other party's request. However, they had waited for half an hour, but the other party still did not show up. Chang Baji and Bao Fan frowned. Were they fooled or set up?
"Why do I feel something is wrong?" Bao Fan was a little worried. They had shown enough sincerity, but if the other party set up a trap, they would walk right into the trap today. Even if Chang Baji was here, they might not be able to leave alive. At that time, they would really suffer a great loss.
Chang Baji was very vigilant. He was always observing the surrounding environment. Once there was any movement, he would definitely run away with Bao Fan immediately. "Let's wait and see.
After all, this is the first time we've met. It's understandable that he doesn't trust us, just like we are also on guard against him. This is all human nature. As long as we reach an agreement today, it won't be so troublesome to meet him again in the future, "Chang Baji said in a low voice. In fact, he was not very confident. After all, they were dealing with Third Master Wu's people. What they knew was what they had heard. As for what exactly was going on, no one knew. Maybe the other party had already told Third Master Wu. If they were killed and beat him at his own game, it would be the worst result.
This meeting between the two parties had already indicated in advance that no one could bring any outsider with them. Once the information was leaked, they might even lose their lives, not to mention the overall situation.
After hearing Chang Baji's words, Bao Fan was a little relieved. He asked with interest, "Do you think Wu Yongchuan will agree?"
That was right. The person Chang Baji and Bao Fan were going to meet was Wu Yongchuan, the foster son of Third Master Wu, who was ranked first. This foster son, who used to be the most powerful under Third Master Wu's command, had become an abandoned chess piece. Even his last power had been taken away recently.
Chang Baji had been studying Wu Yongchuan in the past few days, including what he had done in Hangzhou and what he had done in Shanghai over the years. Only in this way could he accurately predict Wu Yongchuan's future. Chang Baji had been studying Wu Yongchuan's behavior in Hangzhou and his behavior in Shanghai over the past few years. Chang Baji had been studying Wu Yongchuan in the past few days.
Bao Fan sneered as he said, "Look at Wu Yongchuan. If he had been more ruthless in the past, Third Master Wu would not have been here today. I guess he would have been a big shot in the Yangtze River Delta. What a pity."
Chang Baji said slowly, "Some people will betray for the second time if they can do it once. The ambition in their bones will definitely not be extinguished. The only thing is whether they have the strength or not. Third Master Wu has not trusted Wu Yongchuan for a long time. Therefore, no matter how hard Wu Yongchuan works, he will not be put in an important position. This can be seen from the fact that Third Master Wu took away his power this time."
Chang Baji said slowly, "Let's not talk about this. Let's wait for a while. I hope Wu Yongchuan will not let us down. I also hope he still has the ambition."
In the forest not far away, a middle-aged man was staring at Chang Baji and Bao Fan, who were by the sea. In fact, he had arrived long ago, but there was no road. After checking the surrounding environment several times, he finally walked here.
After what had happened in the past, Wu Yongchuan didn't trust anyone anymore, especially when the other party was an unfamiliar power. If the other party wanted to harm him, he wouldn't even have a chance to resist. Who asked him to be a cripple now? What a joke. Back then, who was Wu Yongchuan? Everyone had to give him some face. But now, he was just a joke.
More than half an hour had passed. After making sure that there were no accidents, Wu Yongchuan walked out slowly at this time and walked unhurriedly toward Chang Baji and Bao Fan, who were by the sea.
Chang Baji and Bao Fan had already noticed him. After making sure that there was no one else, Bao Fan felt relieved and said, "He finally came."
Chang Baji said thoughtfully, "Since he has already agreed, he will definitely come. However, whether he will nod and agree or not depends on our efforts."
A few seconds later, the two parties met formally. This was not the first time for them to meet each other. They had met each other on different occasions before. For example, Wu Yongchuan and Chang Baji had met each other at Third Master Wu's birthday party. He and Bao Fan had met each other on other occasions in Shanghai. However, they did not have a deep understanding of each other.
Wu Yongchuan said, "Now at this time, you asked me to meet you. You are really bold. Are you really not afraid that I will set up a Hongmen Banquet?" Wu Yongchuan teased. No matter how Wu Yongchuan, who used to be arrogant, lay low, his momentum would not weaken, let alone his confidence to face anyone.
Bao Fan replied with a smile, "This is also what we want to say. Compared with us, Boss Wu is bolder. If Third Master Wu knows about this, it seems that Boss Wu will be dead for sure."
Wu Yongchuan said, "Hehe, dead for sure? What is the difference between me and a dead person now? Even if he knows about this, so what? Isn't it just death? "He was full of resentment and dissatisfaction towards Third Master Wu.
Bao Fan was overjoyed after hearing that. The deeper Wu Yongchuan's resentment was, the greater their chances would be. Consequently, Bao Fan took the opportunity to say, "It seems that Boss Wu has been in a bad mood recently. This is not the Boss Wu in the past. Does Boss Wu have any troubles? Why don't you tell us? Maybe we can help you solve your problems."
Wu Yongchuan raised his head and stared at Bao Fan for a while. Then he smiled with a disdainful look and said, "I say, do you want to do this?"
Bao Fan frowned and said, "Boss Wu, what do you mean?"
"You are Qin Sheng's men, while I am Foster Father's man. My Foster Father and Qin Sheng are like fire and water now. We know better than anyone else what it means to meet each other. It can't be a chat, right? Why don't we be straightforward? Don't waste each other's time in the middle of the night. Just tell us your purpose. If we agree, we will continue to talk. If not, we will pretend that we have never met each other. "Wu Yongchuan's words were quite domineering. No wonder he dared to challenge Third Master Wu's position in the past. It was not without reason.
Chang Baji and Bao Fan did not expect that Wu Yongchuan would take the initiative to start a topic. This was interesting, which meant that Wu Yongchuan should have his own ideas. Taking a step back, the fact that Wu Yongchuan had agreed to meet them had explained a lot.
Now, all they needed to do was to tell each other their needs and interests, and then talk slowly. In the end, as long as they were satisfied with each other, that would be enough.
At this time, Chang Baji opened his mouth and said, "Since Boss Wu is so straightforward, we won't waste any time. Let's talk directly."
"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Wu Yongchuan stared at Chang Baji and said. He knew Chang Baji, who was the number one master on Qin Sheng's side. On their side, only Mr. Chu could be a match for Chang Baji.
Chang Baji said straightforwardly, "Boss Wu, we are very clear about your current situation. Third Master Wu has completely given up on you. Not only did he not put you in an important position, but he also took away your last power. Obviously, Boss Wu has become a sacrificial pawn. Are you really willing to be a sacrificial pawn?"
Wu Yongchuan was not surprised at all. Since these people could meet him, it meant that they had already investigated his situation. He sneered and said, "It seems that you are very clear about my situation. Since you know that I am a sacrificial pawn, what's the point of meeting me? What can a sacrificial pawn do for you? As for whether I am willing or not, it is not up to me to decide. If I have this ability, of course I am not willing. "
Wu Yongchuan said straightforwardly. Chang Baji could tell that Wu Yongchuan was certainly not willing to be a sacrificial pawn. However, he did not have this ability. In this case, it was easy to deal with him.
Chang Baji threw out the bait and said, "We also think that it is a waste for a person like Boss Wu to be a sacrificial pawn. Since Boss Wu is also unwilling to be a sacrificial pawn, we can help Boss Wu."
Wu Yongchuan laughed and said, "What? Do you want me to follow you? Or do you want me to betray my foster father again? "
Bao Fan did not say anything and let Chang Baji talk. He just observed Wu Yongchuan's expression and demeanor, so that he could judge what Wu Yongchuan was thinking. Which words were sincere and which were just perfunctory?
"Boss Wu, as you said, we don't need to hide. Our purpose is very simple. Third Master Wu is our enemy. Naturally, we want to bring him down. Although Boss Wu is Third Master Wu's adopted son, he has already been abandoned by Third Master Wu. Is Boss Wu willing to become useless from now on? Only by toppling Third Master Wu can Boss Wu have a chance to make a comeback. "Chang Baji's words were even more straightforward.
Wu Yongchuan was not shocked at all. He replied, "Then it seems that you want me to betray my adoptive father. Hahahaha, tsk, tsk, tsk. Don't you know that I have already betrayed him once? Back then, my adoptive father did not kill me, but it does not mean that he will not kill me this time."
"How did Boss Wu know that it would fail? As long as Boss Wu agrees, we will do our best to cooperate with Boss Wu. Besides, we have a lot of backup plans, which Boss Wu can't even imagine. "Chang Baji didn't give Wu Yongchuan a chance to breathe.
Wu Yongchuan began to calculate in his heart. He took the initiative to ask, "You want me to betray my adoptive father one more time? If I fail, I might even lose my life, but you guys will still be fine. So what I need to know is, what will I get in return?"
Chang Baji did not promise Wu Yongchuan too much. Otherwise, Wu Yongchuan would be too greedy, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. At that time, we will fully support Boss Wu to take over the position of Third Master Wu. That will depend on Boss Wu's ability. After all, there will be other people sharing the cake. "Chang Baji did not promise too much. Otherwise, Wu Yongchuan would be too greedy.
This sentence was too vague. Wu Yongchuan did not dare to agree easily. He had to figure out how many benefits he would get. However, this was not what he cared about most at that moment. Instead, he asked very seriously, "Then what do I need to do?"
"Help us kill Third Master Wu," Chang Baji said firmly.
Hearing this, Wu Yongchuan was stunned subconsciously. He thought that he was just asked to betray his adoptive father. It did not occur to him that such an important task would be given to him.
Therefore, Wu Yongchuan felt that he had to think about it carefully. He had to sort out his logic again. Otherwise, if this step was wrong, he would really die.
