Venomous Snake Three looked at Zhao Hai and said in a deep voice, "Sir, isn't this too risky? After all, Lin Xiang is a member of the Lin family. If he doesn't believe us, what should we do? Didn't we offend the Lin family? I heard that Lin Xiang is a gentleman. "
"Gentleman? Hehe, how can a person who is about to become the head of the family be a gentleman? Don't worry, I'll test him and see what the results are. "Zhao Hai said in a deep voice.
When Venomous Snake Three heard Zhao Hai's words, he knew that it was useless to say anything else. He only looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Sir, how are you going to test him?"
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "How about this? Help me inquire about Lin Xiang. Where does he live and what does he usually do at night? Come and tell me tomorrow night. By the way, you must be more detailed, but at the same time, don't let anyone know that we are inquiring about Lin Xiang. Otherwise, there will really be trouble."
When Venomous Snake Three heard Zhao Hai's words, he could only nod and say, "Alright, sir. Don't worry, I'll definitely inquire about it seriously."
Zhao Hai nodded and said in a deep voice, "Alright, you guys can go back. Don't tell anyone about this." Venomous Snake responded and led Ice Wolf away.
The two of them returned to the branch hall where Ice Wolf was. After sitting down, Ice Wolf looked at Venomous Snake Three in confusion and said, "Third Master, what do you think Mr. Zhao Hai is doing? Why did he tell Lin Xiang this news? Is there really no other way? Why do I feel that there's a deeper meaning behind his actions? "
Venomous Snake Three pondered for a moment and said, "I don't understand why Sir is doing this either. However, he must have his reasons for doing so. We just have to do our own things. Alright, I'm going back. Don't forget to listen to Lin Xiang's news tomorrow."
Ice Wolf responded and sent someone to send Venomous Snake Three back to the main hall. He was in his room, but he still couldn't understand why Zhao Hai would do this.
However, Ice Wolf wasn't a brainless person. If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it and went to bed early. After waking up early the next morning, he immediately arranged for his trusted subordinates to inquire about the news. Hooligans like them were actually the most well-informed. Snakes have their own ways and rats have their own ways. Naturally, hooligans like them also have their own ways of obtaining information. Therefore, the information that Zhao Hai wanted to know, they only needed a morning.
After dark, Viper Three and Ice Wolf came to Zhao Hai's courtyard. Then Ice Wolf gave Zhao Hai the information he collected.
After Zhao Hai looked at the information that Ice Wolf gave him, he nodded and said, "Not bad, the information is very detailed. Third Master, Ice Wolf, after you return, pay attention to collecting information about the major families in Aurora City. No matter which family it is, you must collect information about all the major families. Don't even let go of information about the City Lord's Mansion."
When the two of them heard Zhao Hai's words, their bodies trembled. Then, they looked at Zhao Hai in shock. They didn't know why Zhao Hai would do this. One must know that if they were to casually collect information about these major families, then they would be finished. Not to mention the City Lord's Mansion. If they were to casually collect information about the City Lord's Mansion and the City Lord found out, they would definitely be charged with conspiracy. At that time, they would really be dead.
Zhao Hai looked at the two of them and smiled, "Third Master, allow me to say something that you don't like to hear. What do you think is your greatest use? If we really want to establish a country, then what would be your greatest help to us? "
When Venomous Snake Three heard Zhao Hai's words, he couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't answer Zhao Hai's question. Instead, he quietly pondered. He knew that Zhao Hai wouldn't say this for no reason. In addition to what Zhao Hai had asked him to do before, his eyes couldn't help but light up. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, you mean, information?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right, it's information. You people from gangs can be said to have been living in the depths of the continent. You have come into contact with all kinds of people. You also have your own methods to obtain any information that you want to know. And this is your greatest use. If I were to ask you to charge and break through enemy lines, would you be able to do it? If I were to ask you to kill generals and capture flags, would you be able to do it? You simply aren't suited to do such a thing. If you do that, then you'll be using your weakness against the enemy's strength. That would be equivalent to sending you to your deaths. Of course, I won't do that. Your gang's greatest use is to gather information, assassinate, and create chaos. This is what you're best at, and this is what I need you to do. Do you understand? "
Venomous Snake Three and Ice Wolf completely understood what Zhao Hai meant. The two of them responded in unison. Zhao Hai looked at the two of them and said, "So you need to start practicing now. You need to learn how to gather information and deal with it. Moreover, you can't let anyone find out about this. Do you understand?"
Venomous Snake Three and Ice Wolf nodded. However, Venomous Snake Three was still somewhat worried as he said, "Mister, what if, I mean what if, what if, we're really discovered? What if?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "There's no need to guard against it. This is just Aurora City. Even if something really happens, what can we do? I just don't want to deal with those people. But if they really threaten our plan, do you think they'll be able to live past tomorrow?"
When Venomous Snake Three and Ice Wolf heard Zhao Hai's words, their expressions couldn't help but change. Then, the two of them understood what Zhao Hai meant. The two of them let out a sigh of relief and didn't say anything else.
Zhao Hai glanced at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "Go back. Don't forget about the matter of gathering information. This matter isn't something that can be done in a day or two. Also, your gang needs to be reorganized and get rid of those unstable members. Even if you don't get rid of them, you have to make them obedient. You absolutely can't let them know what they shouldn't know."
When Venomous Snake Three and Ice Wolf heard Zhao Hai's words, they nodded and said, "Yes, Mister. We'll go back first." Zhao Hai nodded. The two of them left Zhao Hai's room and returned to Ice Wolf's hall.
When they arrived at Ice's hall, the two of them sat down. Ice Wolf looked at Venomous Snake Three and said, "Third Master, do you think what Mister Zhao Hai said is true? If we are really exposed, will he really kill those people? "
Viper Three said, "He will. This Mister Zhao is a vicious and merciless person. And what you said is right. Our biggest use is to gather information. If we can't gather information, then we're really useless." Viper Three nodded. "Yes, Mister Zhao is a vicious and merciless person.
Ice Wolf said in a deep voice, "Third Master, don't worry. I will arrange it. As for what Mister said about grooming his trusted subordinates, what do you think, Third Master?"
Venomous Snake Three said in a deep voice, "We can start on this matter, but we can't be anxious. Even if it's those people we suspect, we can't touch them now. We have to do it slowly. Right now, our Ice Blade Gang has just gone through a turmoil. If we make too big of a move, I'm afraid we will really be finished. I think Mister should know that and won't blame us."
Ice Wolf nodded and said in a deep voice, "Third Master, I don't think you should go back today. Let's discuss the matter of intelligence. It's not easy to gather information on the families in the city. Today, we spent a lot of effort to gather information on Lin Xiang. This is only gathering information on one person. If we were to gather information on a family, it would only be more troublesome."
Snake Three nodded and said, "Alright, then we'll stay here tonight. Actually, we only paid attention to the information that Mister Zhao said. We forgot about the other two points that Mister Zhao mentioned, which are assassination and creating chaos. We didn't do a lot of these two points before, so we should pay attention to them now." Ice Wolf nodded, and the two began to discuss. Snake Three nodded and said, "Alright, then we'll stay here tonight.
Zhao Hai sat in his room with a calm expression. He had been waiting for the time until midnight. Zhao Hai stood up and then disappeared from the room.
Lin Xiang was sleeping. His room wasn't very luxurious, and he only had a servant of the same age as him. He didn't even have a maid. This was where he was smart. Lin Qing was arrogant, causing many elders of the Lin Family to be dissatisfied with him. On the other hand, Lin Xiang was very careful and didn't do anything out of line. Usually, he would just read books and help the family with some things. When he saw the elders, he was always very polite.
His approach was very useful. The elders were very satisfied with his performance, and he even won the title of a gentleman.
The people of the Lin Family didn't know that the reason why Lin Qing became like this was because he deliberately asked someone to teach Lin Qing to do so. Lin Qing had been a famous heavenly talent of the Lin Family since he was young. Moreover, he wasn't a direct descendant, so he didn't receive so many resources when he was young. However, his strength still increased rapidly, which made Lin Xiang feel a great sense of crisis. Therefore, Lin Xiang's father, who was the current Patriarch of the Lin Family, did two things. First, he used the family's resources to nurture Lin Xiang so that Lin Xiang's strength would always be on par with Lin Qing. This way, the Lin Family would think that Lin Xiang was also a genius like Lin Qing. In fact, Lin Xiang was very clear that his talent couldn't compare to Lin Qing.
The second thing was to let those who were close to Lin Qing slowly change his character, making him more and more arrogant and overbearing. This was done by Lin Xiang's father at first, then by Lin Xiang.
Although this method was very slow, it was very useful. Just think about it, when Lin Qing was still a child, he would naturally learn what the adults taught him. Slowly, he would become more and more arrogant and overbearing. When he grew up, this would naturally become his character, and this character wasn't very likable.
Lin Xiang's father trained him to be the next Patriarch of the Lin Family. As a Patriarch, strength wasn't the most important thing. What was most important was another thing, and that was scheming. If your scheming wasn't deep enough, then you wouldn't be able to control a large family. Even if you became a Patriarch, you would slowly be taken over by others. Therefore, Lin Xiang's father began to teach him how to use his scheming to get everything he wanted.
Obviously, his father was very successful. Lin Xiang was now acting like a gentleman, but Lin Qing, who was as famous as him, had been played in the palm of his hand. This was his method.
