Chapter 422: Chapter 153 Nan Batian: Chen 94, Do You Still Take Me Seriously? (10,000 Words for Subscription)_5

”Elder Liu Laoguai!”

Hearing this, a crowd turned their gaze toward Nan Batian, who said, ”After my people investigated, they found that the monthly purchase volume of the citizens of Tute has not decreased; however, all the purchases are now going to Elder Liu Laoguai, so we are unable to secure any orders!”

”This!”

Everyone paused upon hearing this, and Nan Batian continued, ”This can’t go on. Our Fishing Guild can’t lose this big order. Additionally, I heard that Elder Liu Laoguai will resort to any means to secure the orders. Not only did he offer a large sum of Silver Coin to the purchasing envoy from Tute but also gifted the envoy with two beauties, enchanting him to the point where he gave all the orders to Elder Liu Laoguai!”

On hearing this, Qin Ying slammed his hand on the table and said, ”No, we can’t let Elder Liu Laoguai have all the benefits. If the Gang Leader won’t, we can also offer money, offer women.”

Nan Batian said, ”That won’t do. A method once used won’t work if used again, and even if we offer more money, Elder Liu Laoguai can also increase his offer. Continuing like this, we won’t earn much either.”

After hearing this, Qin Ying asked, ”Then, Gang Leader, what do you suggest?”

Nan Batian said, ”Either don’t do it at all or do it thoroughly. I’ve received intelligence that they will conduct an ironware transaction at the Xiantao Town Ferry at 3 AM tomorrow. My plan is to find a way to intercept these goods, to make Elder Liu Laoguai lose credibility with the citizens of Tute. Only in this way can we cut off the roots and completely sever Guild Cao’s iron mine business, thereby securing the trading rights for this iron mine for ourselves.”

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances. Their Gang Leader was quite scheming, coming up with such a plan.

Thinking this, Nan Batian asked, ”What do you all think?”

Hearing this, Tang Ziyue said, ”It’s indeed a brilliant move. As long as Guild Cao loses credibility, they will no longer have the qualifications to supply ironware to the citizens of Tute, and we could secure the trading rights. In the future, our financial resources will be vast.”

Nan Batian, upon hearing this, said, ”Mr. Tang speaks very truly.”

Qin Ying said, ”Hahaha, good. I’ve long been displeased with those bastards in Guild Cao. This is a good opportunity to teach them a lesson!”

At this moment, Nan Batian turned to look at the always silent Liu Yishou and asked, ”What does Elder Liu think?”

Liu Yishou coughed lightly and said, ”Gang Leader, if it’s about sickness, I understand how to treat it. As for these matters of fighting and killing, I do not understand, nor can I figure it out. Let the younger ones decide.”

Hearing this, Nan Batian looked at Chen Jie and said, ”Jiu Si, what do you think?”

Chen Jie fell silent for a moment. In fact, if he considered the plan from Nan Batian and the others’ standpoint, there really wasn’t anything wrong with it. Thinking this, Chen Jie said, ”The Gang Leader truly has a natural brilliance, to come up with such an ingenious plan. Impressive, impressive.”

Hearing this, Nan Batian laughed heartily and said, ”Jiu Si flatters too much. This world, sooner or later, will belong to you young people.”

After speaking, Nan Batian glanced at the crowd and said, ”However, there’s still a problem at hand. Who, exactly, should we send to intercept these goods before dawn tomorrow?”

Looking around at a few individuals, Nan Batian scanned the room.

Qin Ying stood up and said, ”I’ll go!”

Nan Batian frowned, and Tang Ziyue chuckled, ”Hehe, Master Qin’s courage is commendable, but he acts too rashly. Such an important matter requires a steady and experienced individual.”

Qin Ying glanced at Tang Ziyue.

What does this guy mean?

Although Qin Ying often acted recklessly to show Nan Batian, he wasn’t actually foolish. Tang Ziyue stating this must have a purpose.

Thinking this, Qin Ying said to Tang Ziyue, ”Mr. Tang, what are you implying? Who is steady? Is Chen Jiusi steady?”

Having heard this, Tang Ziyue said, ”Master Qin, I didn’t mean that, but what you said is not wrong. Master Chen indeed is a steady person, it’s just that Master Chen’s relationship with Elder Liu is good. Doing this would betray a friend!”

”He has a good relationship with Elder Liu Laoguai, huh? Make it clear, he is Chen Jiusi of the Fishing Guild, not Guild Cao’s Chen Jiusi. Is your loyalty misdirected?”

Qin Ying said this as he looked at Chen Jie, ”Chen Jiusi, lately I’ve heard guild members calling you the peerlessly brave and loyal Fifth Master Chen. Our Fifth Master Chen wouldn’t be a traitor, would he?”

Chen Jie’s expression remained calm.

It seemed as if he could smell the scent of conspiracy, his intuition becoming sharper and sharper.

”Cough, cough, Master Qin, do not speak nonsense. Jiu Si is the Hall Master of the White Tiger Hall of our Fishing Guild. How could he side with outsiders? If you continue with this nonsense, do not blame me for taking you to task,” Nan Batian said seriously, then looked at Chen Jie, ”Actually, Jiu Si would indeed be a great candidate, but considering Jiu Si’s relationship with Elder Liu, I too fear he may not be able to act decisively.”

”Furthermore, so here’s what I think: we can send Qin Ying, but we need to send someone astute and experienced to assist him. Thus, at the Xiantao Village Ferry where the transaction is happening, have our Fishery Manager, Wu Zhong, assist Qin Ying in this matter.”

Hmm!

At this moment, Chen Jie suddenly looked at Nan Batian, whose mouth curled into a knowing smile as if anticipating Chen Jie’s reaction.

Qin Ying was stunned, then said, ”Gang Leader, I don’t need any Wu Zhong to help me, I will surely accomplish this task and make it flawless.”

”Rubbish! Qin Ying, I know what you are like. Let me tell you, Wu Zhong is an elder of our Fishing Guild, especially since his father-in-law is Mr. Bai Wenjing, who was once one of the Inner Hall Eight Doctors. You must show him the utmost respect.”

”Also, with this upcoming conflict with the guild, swords and spears have no eyes. You must ensure Wu Zhong’s safety, otherwise, I will hold you accountable!”
