Volume 1 Chapter 37: Mediterranean Power

  Whether it can be stopped or not, Shen Qingyang's words don't count, and neither do San Ye and Yu Furen's! Any development of things has its own internal logic, according to Marxism... this internal logic is: momentum!

  At that time, Dr. Sun Yat-sen overthrew the feudal imperial system and gave up the position of provisional president to Yuan Shikai. As one of the "Shanxi Ten Evils", President Yuan was a master of "borrowing power". Therefore, Shen Qingyang must learn to "borrow power" in order to complete his own task!

  Whose momentum to borrow? How to borrow? The academic issues here are huge! Ah-yi's Tianmeng, the mysterious Bai family, "Three Days and Four Lands" and other miscellaneous people, all need to make good use of their relationships with each other. Didn't Liu Bang, a small gangster from Sishui Town back then, rise to prominence by borrowing momentum? I, Shen Qingyang, also want to do so, and must do so, this is the organization's requirement!

  Xu San Ye narrowed his eyes, Shen Qing Yang lit a cigar for him, while Yu Jie stroked the red wine glass lost in thought. The effects of the alcohol had worn off, and San Ye was much clearer-headed now. Had he spoken too much earlier? Was this chef an idiot or something? Were his wife's demands too high? All these were just nonsense!

  This cook looks just like a man, someone he both admired and feared, a big shot who once dominated the Mediterranean - Shen Jun Ci! However, this little guy's surname is Shen, not "Shen", Madam wrote it correctly on the table.

  "Brother, what are you thinking about?" San Ye puffed out a mouthful of smoke and looked at Shen Qingyang with affection. However, his hairy hands reached for Madame Yu's slender waist. Madame Yu didn't dodge or flinch, her pretty face flushed with shyness, her eyes filled with emotions, but drifted towards Shen Qingyang's angular forehead!

  All of this was in Shen Qingyang's eyes, but he pretended not to see it!

  "Third Master, there are three urgent matters to be clarified. The first is the safety of the two of you. On your way to the banquet, did you encounter Xu QingSong, also known as Old Master Xu from Tianze Garden?"

  San Ye's eyelid twitched, and the muscles on his face jumped up and down like a convulsion, nodding slightly, but he didn't say a word.

  "What happened last night has spread like wildfire throughout the city, and everyone in Zhonghai City knows that something went wrong at Tianze Garden in Cao City. The rumors circulating on the streets may not be credible, but I can responsibly tell you two that the truth is even more outrageous than the rumors!" Shen Qingyang sat across from San Ye and Yu Fu, some things still needed to be clarified, no matter what angle you looked at it, he had to establish an extraordinary relationship with these two people as soon as possible.

  Madam Yu looked at Shen Qingyang in surprise, this cook was indeed not simple! After wandering the Middle Sea for over a decade, aside from that Second Master Shen, he was the first guy to earn her admiration!

  "The chaos of the Mediterranean is none of your business!"

  Shen Qingyang lit a cigarette, and San Ye basically had no reaction, probably thinking about this sentence! This is a sentence with enough lethality: The chaos in the China Sea before was very likely to have your "credit", the current chaos in the China Sea should be attributed to me, and the future chaos in the China Sea will depend on you and me! Or this sentence can be said as "The chaos in the China Sea is not our fault"! It's all because of them forcing us!

  On the surface, the Mediterranean chaos is a result of the struggle for interests in the underworld, but everyone must remember that this is an international anti-China hub!

  "So being able to win in chaos still depends on this!" Shen Qingyang calmly pointed to his own head, implying that one should think things through and not be like Qi Huan, who didn't even know how he died!

  "Brother is absolutely right!" Third Master nodded.

  "Secondly, last night's incident seemed like a trivial and ordinary disturbance, and Tianyuan Garden didn't make a big fuss about it either. But Third Master shouldn't forget that a dog that bites doesn't bark! They're playing an inside tight and outside loose game. If I'm not mistaken, within three days, something even more shocking will happen in the Central Sea!"

  Last night's commotion, San Ye also heard from his subordinates, the specific situation is unclear, and he deeply believes in those mysterious rumors. But judging from Xu Lao Ban's attitude of being furious and wanting to thoroughly investigate the person who caused the disturbance, the kitchen staff was right, Tian Ze Garden has indeed taken action, but it's a pity that they have to deal with these noisy women, and things haven't even been thought through yet!

  How did Shen Qingyang know that something big was going to happen? It's obvious, the dumb uncle's plan will be carried out three days later, and the target is the Purple Gold Card! Who has the Purple Gold Card? In the Zhonghai territory, apart from the Emperor Hotel gang, the only one left is Xu Qingsong, the boss of Tianze Garden!

  The people of Emperor Hotel have established some kind of relationship with Tianze Garden, but what is the goal now is unknown.

  "The third thing, don't say I'm spreading rumors, Third Master, Interpol has launched a new round of operations, I don't know if you've received the news?"

  San Ye's face immediately turned green! The big brain was sweating profusely, and Yu Furen also furrowed her brow, staring at Shen Qingyang with almond-shaped eyes. What kind of background does this guy have? Is Interpol also under his surveillance? Unbelievable! I've been with that Bai Xue all day, how come she never mentioned it to me?

  "Madam, do you have any news about them?" San Ye's face was as calm as water, his facial muscles tightened, and a layer of frost floated up. Obviously, he had an opinion about Madame Yu. Dong Xing Tian Ge's reputation in the Central Sea was not particularly impressive, belonging to a third-rate superior force.

  This has to start with the distribution of power in the Mediterranean. "Three Days and Four Lands, Five Dragons" is a nickname for the underground world. Although Dong Xing Tian Ge belongs to the "Three Days" category, the business it operates is security, in other words, collecting protection fees! The only business that can be taken out is the "Hei Shi Company" established by Xu Zuozi!

  This is a later story and will be told another time.

  The second-tier forces are Tianze Garden, Tiān Xià Spring, and Xī Xíng Tiān Gé. Tianze Garden is the leader in the catering industry, Tiān Xià Spring is a giant in the entertainment and sex industry, while Xī Xíng Tiān Gé not only controls the Hǎi Lán pier but also has control over the mineral resources of Hēi Shí town. As for "Tiān Wài Tiān" and "Hēi Lóng Bāng", those are just legends! The first-tier forces, Shen Qingyang hasn't fully grasped yet, so it's not convenient to comment.

  "Third Master, I always inform you of any news at the first time, but Shen brother's matter I don't know. Bai Jia dog rarely goes to Heishi during this period, and Tianxia Chun only has these two places, there is no place to gather information!"

  The Tianxia Chun is a licensed brothel, a government-issued plaque hangs on the door. I don't know how such a place can be included in the "Three Days". Shen Qingyang has no interest in this at all, since it's one of the "Three Days", her power cannot be underestimated, if she can pull strings then she will, if she can make connections then she will, having one less opponent is like gaining an extra path!

  But little do people know, what kind of place is the Tianxia Chun? In ancient times there were "Smoke and Flowers Lane", "Paifang Street" and "Green Building Lane", all referring to the sex trade. This industry has existed for over a thousand years, flourishing without decline, what's the reason behind it? It's where the "world above ground" and "underground world" intersect, also the dividing line between the black and white paths!

  To a certain extent, "Tian Xia Chun" should be the most powerful among the "Three Days"! Behind it are the black and white factions, the entire Mediterranean Sea!

  Third Master's fluffy hand grabbed a handful of Jade Sister's buttocks, his face full of lust! That's why men are all beasts, taking advantage of the situation and rejoicing, especially when the object is one of the "Four Beauties" - "Sai Xiao Xiao" Su Xiaoyu, her butt isn't something just anyone can grab, it's very possible to lose your life if you try!

  Who is Xiaoxiao? Suzhou's famous courtesan Su Xiaoxiao! The middle sea still has a group of literati and scholars.

  Jade sister didn't dodge, but instead stared at Master Xu San with a fiery gaze, her face flushed with countless blushes: "Master San, if you have the guts, come to Tianxia Chun and I'll guarantee you won't last two rounds!"

  Blunt! Extremely blunt!

  "Haha, no dare, no dare! Let's just listen to my brother talk seriously!" So in some cases, San Ye didn't even dare to tease Yu Jie, but today was an exception, and Yu Jie was on a roll!

  Shen Qingyang pretended not to see it and smiled calmly: "Third Master, are these three things important?"

  Third Master nodded thoughtfully: "This matter really needs to be considered from a long-term perspective!"

  The wine was spilled, the dishes were cold, and the table full of dishes had hardly been eaten! It was already afternoon, and the autumn rain was hitting the windowsill again. Yujie glanced at her wrist: "Oh dear, Third Master, we've delayed Miss Bai's time, today is really...!"

  "Haha! Madam, today is your treat and the timing was arranged by you, so don't blame Xuzi. It seems to have nothing to do with my brother either!" San Ye laughed generously: "Let me send you to that little star using my car!"

  Is Miss Bai the "Little Calamity Star"? Shen Qingyang had heard this phrase more than once, "Ghost Fox" Hu Zonghan said it, Yaobo said it, and Xu Jiazizi also said so! There must be some story behind this, but now is not the time to listen to stories!

  Shen Qingyang thought for a moment, then stood up and looked at Yujie. Hehe, Yujie was tidying up her belongings on the fox fur mat, revealing black lace garters, with the flesh inside squeezed like a bun, as if it were about to burst out. Her snow-white chest was tender and smooth, her rosy face had a satisfied smile, just like she had just finished doing something in bed. It was a lazy, gentle, and obedient look, but also a bit wanton!

  Yu Jie is still Yu Jie! I don't know how she compares to Su Xiao Xiao from back then?

  "Third Master, Jade Sister can't ride in your carriage!" Shen Qingyang withdrew his X-ray vision and said seriously. The reason is self-evident.

  "Damn it, who dares to block my way again? I'll blast him!"

  "I heard that last night at the Paradise Club's brutal duel, someone saw that dog's soul come out. Do you believe it, Third Master?" Shen Qingyang didn't want to offend Third Master, so he spoke in a roundabout way.

  "Bullshit!" San Ye exclaimed, his eyes bulging with rage: "If I could leave my body, those damned ghosts would have strangled me to death by now!"

  "Haha!" Shen Qingyang knew that San Ye's words meant: I've killed countless people, what the hell do you believe?!

  Jade sister's pretty face lifted, and the elegant and noble color returned to her temperament, just like the lady of a large aristocratic family, proud and elegant, confident and domineering! Who would have thought that this charming woman was actually Su Xiaoyu, the behind-the-scenes boss of the "Tianxia Chun" brothel?

  "Third Master, I believe you!"

  "Seen with one's own eyes?"

  Third Master and Jade Sister were both shocked, staring at Shen Qingyang. Third Master took two steps forward and punched Shen Qingyang's chest with a fist. Shen Qingyang didn't dodge, his punch was fast, but for Shen Qingyang it was still too slow, very slow, the time it took to throw the punch allowed Shen Qingyang to drink a cup of wine and eat a few peanuts!

  All that was heard was a "bang" sound, and the fist landed squarely on Shen Qingyang's chest, stunning Yujie so much that her face lost its beauty!

  "Hmph, men... are all beasts who love to fight!"

  "Grass! Brother, why didn't you dodge?" San Ye's face was red with anger, yet he blamed Shen Qingyang instead.

  Don't be an idiot! In the underworld, you'll encounter other people's schemes and tests at any time and place. It depends on the situation!

  "Third Master wants to hit his brother, why hide? Hiding is still a brother?" Shen Qingyang smiled lightly: "Yu Jie, you'd better drive your own car, Third Master and I are both worried about your safety!"

  She nodded, glanced at Shen Qingyang with a sly smile, and got out of the car. Shen Qingyang personally opened the door for Yu Jie and placed his arm on the door frame like a bodyguard: "Be careful, Yu Jie!"

  Yu Jie was naturally careful, and she also stroked Shen Qingyang's ancient bronze-colored arm with her small hand: "Hehe! Brother Shen, tomorrow at Heishi Tianxia Chunlai, sister will give you a surprise (not a typo, think about it yourself)!"

  "Hehe, thank you Sister Yu!"

  The car drove away from Yishui Studio, leaving an arc-shaped trail behind. Just as the car was about to disappear, two figures appeared inside the gate of Tianze Garden, looking out through the glass door towards the opposite side of the street.

  "Old ghost, were they at Yishui Zhai all morning?" a low voice asked.

  "Haha! Mr. Lin, I also heard it from a brother, and it feels a bit unbelievable. Now you see it, right? Madame Yu is coming out of there!" Hu Zonghan stared at the old building where "Yi Shui Zhai" was located. What the hell are Heishi Town's Xu Diaozi and Madame Yu doing in that godforsaken place? Want to demolish my building? Haha!

  "Find two reliable brothers, 24 hours surveillance!" Lin Tao lit a cigar, his face somewhat pale. Yesterday was made a fool of by Xu Qing Song like a grandson, but also can't blame others, who the hell called their own men wine bags and rice bags? Caught two people didn't catch, and don't even know who it is!

  "Hu Zonghan, the 'Ghost Fox' didn't say a word, do you still need to tell me? The ambush was arranged three days ago, but... there hasn't been any report of the situation in these few days!"

  "Someone, bring Sì Yǎnér to me!" Hu Zonghan shouted sternly.
