With determination, Li Xiangdong decided to take a chance and move forward. He thought that if he could control Lin Feng, his followers would have no choice but to obey. Although he wasn’t sure how many were above or how many he could control with his current abilities, after securing Lin Feng, he could always sweeten the deal for these small-time crooks. Perhaps share some of the $1.5 million, give them a couple of thousand each…
“Don’t shoot!” Li Xiangdong made up his mind, standing under the exit, shouting his greeting, not wanting to get shot by mistake.
“Enough talk! Bring the $1.33 million first!” Lin Feng, now fully embracing the mindset of a bandit leader, was frustrated by the sudden calm in the basement, thinking they were preparing for a final charge. The thought of potentially having to shoot someone made him nervous. However, through the gap in the manhole cover, he saw Li Xiangdong struggling to lift a large suitcase. Were they really preparing money for him? This showed the strength of the criminal network below. Money, guns, and manpower—if not for his surprise attack, even a whole police station might not have been able to deal with these bandits.
“There’s money! Money in the suitcase! Don’t shoot…” Li Xiangdong opened the suitcase wide, lifting it to his chest for Lin Feng, his student, to see. He believed this amount of money would make the shortsighted kid bow down to him immediately. Perhaps even Li Xiangdong himself was unsure where this sense of intellectual superiority came from or what it was based on. Why was he so sure that Lin Feng would submit for the sake of money?
Lin Feng indeed saw the bundles of fresh bills, but whether they were the legendary dollars or not, he couldn’t tell, having never seen them before. This slightly disappointed him, thinking he shouldn’t have made such a fuss over dollars. Yet, facing his enemies, he wouldn’t show any sign of weakness. He cursed viciously, firing a burst into the air. The warehouse ceiling echoed with the sound of bullets and dust, making Li Xiangdong, who had just poked his head out, retreat in fear, thinking his plan had been discovered.
