The sirens of the police car started blaring, and it was at this moment that Ye Hao felt a tinge of regret, because he had fallen for a trap...

Earlier, he believed this was a confrontation within the Black Sect, and the local police wouldn't intervene, but he underestimated Qin Xiweng's cunning...

That's right! Where is Qin Xiweng? Ye Hao thought of the mastermind behind the conspiracy, Qin Xiweng, and immediately had the eighth-generation system scan the surroundings within six hundred meters.

However, there was no trace of Qin Xiweng's figure; instead, several people were seen on the other buildings looking through binoculars.

"Beep! Beep!" The police cars honked, and many armed police officers with live ammo got out of their vehicles.

Seeing this, Ye Hao waved his hand, signaling his people to retreat to the door. He didn't want his brothers to be shot by the police in the chaos, as fighting back under police fire would be very serious.

"People gathering for the melee ahead, listen up! You are surrounded by the police. Raise your hands immediately, face the wall and lie down, or the police will use force to arrest you." A person, seemingly the leader of the operation, stood on the front of the car and shouted loudly with a megaphone.

The armed police moved forward gradually, carrying glass shields in one hand and high-voltage electric batons in the other hand, approaching the increasingly distinct groups.

Lv Dong was standing at the gate of Wealth Island with Ye Hao at that moment, while the other subordinates had entered the club. As for the dead and injured, they were quickly taken into the club to avoid being accused by the police later.

"Boss, what should we do?" Lv Dong asked anxiously.

"Let's see what they say. Whether it's putting us all into cells or stopping the confrontation, if we're heading to cells, you should immediately take Li Yi and the others back to Wealth Island. Don't show yourselves frequently; I'll take care of it." Ye Hao planned to handle the matter alone.

After all, the law doesn't punish the masses. Once Ye Hao takes all the blame, Qiu San and the others can continue operating their entertainment venues, though they'll be under scrutiny.

Ye Hao wanted Li Yi and the rest to escape the scene; naturally, he didn't want them to be listed on the national blacklist again. They already had one record in the past, and now they were involved in a brawl in the bustling city; the charges would be very different.

"Boss!" Li Yi, Gambling Life, Ran Tai, and others shouted in unison, their eyes filled with restless fear.

As for Old Man Su Chenhong, he was sipping tea as if nothing was wrong, and did not come out. He wanted to see whether Ye Hao was a man with responsibility. If Ye Hao shrank in this situation, he would despise Ye Hao. But if Ye Hao stepped up in such a situation, he would think Ye Hao is a qualified boss, but not a qualified businessman.

Of course, Su Chenhong preferred men with responsibility, not businessmen playing circles all day.

"Enough said, stand further back. If the situation goes wrong, head back to Wealth Island immediately, and do not go anywhere else." Ye Hao frowned and directly issued his command.

Gambling Life wanted to say something, but Ran Tai pulled his hand, knowing Ye Hao had decided. Ye Hao didn't want them to suffer imprisonment, so if things went awry, Ye Hao would step forward alone.

"Yes!" Gambling Life struggled internally for a while, then stood behind.

Wu Gang also led twenty-nine men to stand behind them, with subordinates wisely making way for them, then standing in front to shield Wu Gang's group.

Lv Dong stood behind Ye Hao, and after a while, he guiltily said, "Boss, sorry for dragging you into this."

"Haha, we're family, no need to say such things." Ye Hao waved his hand and laughed.

He admired Qin Xiweng too, realizing that Qin Xiweng was indeed the son of Peng City's municipal secretary, Qin Jun. Utilizing his father's influence, he first infiltrated Deep Well Gang, and then used Deep Well Gang's power to instigate conflicts between Ran Tai and Anbao District's Qiu San.

This move truly was a bird with one stone. Once Ran Tai made a move for Humen Gang, he'd face the forces of Wealth Island and Qiu San's Anbao District. If Wealth Island and Qiu San were unable to resist Ran Tai, Qiu San and Wealth Island would be wiped out by Ran Tai.

Moreover, Gambling King had opened so many casinos in Anbao District; he wouldn't watch the interests being taken by Ran Tai and would also want a share.

The inclusion of Gambling King might lead Ran Tai to take a step back, giving Gambling King some territory, but Peng City's underground forces still had one other.

That was Poison King. There was a message earlier stating that Anbao District will prohibit drug sales. This was merely Qin Xiweng providing a rightful excuse for Poison King Hong Guang to intervene.

Afterward, Poison King indeed made a move on Qiu San's territory, and Ran Tai also arrived.

Nevertheless, Qin Xiweng was disappointed that Gambling King did not react when Ran Tai acted, followed by Ye Hao's appearance that disrupted Qin Xiweng's preliminary plans, because Ye Hao had already subdued Gambling Life.

However, when Ran Tai attempted to deal with Ye Hao, he was subdued by Ye Hao, and even Poison King Hong Guang was severely dealt with by Ye Hao.

Initially, Ye Hao thought Qin Xiweng would cease action or remain calm for a long while, but surprisingly, Qin Xiweng not only didn't stop but also brought in Hua Gate's forces.

Ye Hao initially viewed this as Qin Xiweng having no other way out, hence inviting trouble, but now understood that Qin Xiweng always had an avenue, and it was a path he laid for Ye Hao's Wealth Island and Hua Gate's forces to tread.

Even Deep Well Gang was included in his calculations.

Why say Qin Xiweng paved the way for Ye Hao's Wealth Island and Hua Gate's forces? Because he wanted to create a scenario of cross-regional melee, which would significantly attract local government attention.

At that time, Qin Jun wanted to address it, and the city government would support Qin Jun, as Qin Jun represents the party's direction.

If he wanted to intervene, be it severe actions or targeting, nobody in the city government dared to oppose, as the scenario was so massive, they couldn't just profit from it or be bribed by the Black Sect and attempt to protect them.

"Nice trick, Qin Xiweng, we must meet again properly next time." Ye Hao's lips curved into a smile.

The chaotic situation gradually calmed under police suppression. Those involved in the underworld wisely raised their hands and lay on the walls.

They knew their backers would step forward to redeem them. It was the leaders who bore the consequences; they were merely participants.

At most, their names would be recorded in the government system.

"Everyone, kneel down and hold your heads; anyone attempting to flee will be shot without mercy," another leader among the armed police shouted coldly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Hao realized the situation couldn't peacefully end. So, he whispered to Lv Dong, "Let Li Yi and the others retreat, we will bear the burden."

"Alright!" Lv Dong nodded, his body concealed by Ye Hao as he moved back.

Lv Dong went behind and said to Li Yi, "The boss asked you to return to Wealth Island and remember not to make trouble again."

Li Yi nodded with difficulty, feeling incredibly miserable… (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets; your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
