“Take down Ningshang County?” Jiang Ming frowned.

The slum area of ​​Hanyang County was very underdeveloped, but Ningshang County sat between H City and Shanghai Municipality. Because of its proximity, trading with the cities was frequent. It was also a trade route between H City and Shanghai, making Ningshang County the wealthiest county around H City. If the underground influence of this county was taken down, the profit that could be reaped would be overwhelming.

If Ningshang County was really taken down, then the one million dollars that Shao Long brought would be insignificant, so much that it could not be considered as money.

“There are three forces in Ningshang County. They are all well-equipped and difficult to fight against. But I am not planning to fight with them head-on. I only need Brother Jiang Ming to help me settle a few people.” Shao Long went on. “I just moved here, so I don’t have much money in my hands. This one million is just a greeting gift for you. If you can help me take down Ningshang County, I’ll offer you 10% of the profits reaped in Ningshang County in the future. What do you think?”

“10%?” Jiang Ming was moved. After all, the daily account current in Ningshang County was over 1 billion. After taking down the entire Ningshang County, they could collect as much as tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of protection fees every day. Every month, profits would be millions or even tens of millions, and 10% of that would be millions per month. This did not include the costs of running the gang. It would be odd if he was not moved.

However, he calmed down when he thought of what his grandfather had told him before he died.

He and his sister were raised by his grandfather since they were young, and he obeyed his grandfather very much. Before his grandfather died, he told them, “Ming, if I’m not here anymore, you must remember that there are three things that you are not allowed to touch. Gambling, drugs, and underground activities. These three things are difficult to get rid of once you touch them. You will sink deeper and deeper, and even lose your life because of them. And Xiao Wen will definitely be implicated.”

Before his grandfather died, he promised his grandfather that he would never touch these three things.

But once he agreed to Shao Long, it would be equivalent to touching underground activities and violating the oath to his grandfather.

“If Brother Jiang Ming is not satisfied, how about 20%…”

Shao Long saw that Jiang Ming was pondering and frowning from time to time. He thought that Jiang Ming was not satisfied with his offer, so he started to increase the offer.

“This has nothing to do with the percentage. I’m sorry, I can’t help you with your request, please find someone else.”

Without waiting for Shao Long to complete his sentence, Jiang Ming suddenly got up and said to Shao Long, then he headed towards the door.

“F*ck you, we gave you a smile and you don’t give a sh*t…”

Seeing that Jiang Ming declined Shao Long even when he offered such a good price, the subordinate who had previously laughed at the driver could no longer stand it. As an upper-level member of the White Dragon Gang, he stood up and cursed at Jiang Ming.

“Boom~”

But before he finished cursing, Jiang Ming suddenly turned around and sent him flying with a single kick. With a loud bang, the subordinate knocked over the table, vomited blood and fell into a coma.

Jiang Ming glanced coldly at the subordinate who just passed out and said to Shao Long, “In the future, let your underling’s mouth be clean. Otherwise, it will be more than just a serious injury next time.”

After saying that, Jiang Ming opened the door and walked out.

The reason why he struck out was because he wanted to awe Shao Long, deterring Shao Long from putting his mind on him again.

But he didn’t notice that as he left the room, Chikage in his arms slowly opened its eyes.

…

“That’s way too fast!”

When Jiang Ming left, Shao Long, who was still sitting there, displayed a look of shock on his face.
