Rob!
It's a complete housing rush!
Countless people frantically pushed forward, afraid of missing out, and many wives and girlfriends at home gave them strict orders.
You can get married as long as you own a house in Junfuting!
No... we'll talk about it later...
Half an hour later.
The three men, Old Leader, Black Knife, and White Whip, emerged looking disheveled and still shaken.
Bai Bian: "These people are even more terrifying than tomb raiders; they almost ripped my clothes..."
Black Knife: "I'd rather run into those bastards from the Southern School underground than go through what just happened again. I don't even remember how many times they cursed at me... These people are too troublesome..."
Both of them looked like they absolutely didn't want to do it again. The three of them also wanted to buy this house in Junfu Court. The two of them were the main force rushing in just now. Although they were both experts, that was only when facing enemies. They could use any means to deal with those people from the Southern School, but they couldn't do that when facing these customers who were vying for houses. They could only rely on their physical speed to squeeze through. Fortunately, the two of them had excellent physical fitness and were able to squeeze to the front!
But this also attracted a lot of abuse, especially from the old ladies and old men who cursed so filthyly that Black Knife almost couldn't help but strike. Fortunately, reason calmed him down, and in the end, the two of them managed to stand at the front and grab a house that satisfied them.
Old leader: "At least our efforts weren't in vain!"
Black Knife: "Boss! Why do we have to buy a house here? Isn't it all the same for us?"
Old foreman: "The same?"
Black Knife: "Isn't it the same? What's the difference between Songjiang and other cities? They're all pretty much the same!"
The old foreman said, "The cities aren't that different! But the people are... Songjiang has people! It has Qinjiang! Can you see the difference?"
Bai Bian: "He is very powerful, domineering, and resourceful. He can even scare that ruthless person with a self-igniting mentality to kneel on the ground."
Black Knife: "He has a lot of followers, more than the Southern Faction..."
The old leader nodded, then shook his head: "Yes! And no! The real difference between him and us lies in his local influence: Did you notice the security guard who led the charge in just now? You can tell from the insignia on his shoulder that his position is definitely not simple, at least a squadron leader or even a battalion commander... Such a person still shows great respect to Qin Jiang, and even believes the absurd things the kneeling man said? Why does he believe him! Isn't it just because this person is Qin Jiang? But would you find such a thing in us? Could the Southern faction do that?"
These words were spoken.
Black Knife and White Whip also started to realize what was happening.
Yes!
The fundamental difference between Qin Jiang and them lies in their power and status! This status is something they can never reach. Even if the Southern faction is so powerful and has such a large influence in the South, they are still just small fry when facing a security captain like Bai Meng, who can easily control them.
Black Knife: "Our forces aren't strong enough, and we don't have enough men!"
The old leader said, "Not at all! What difference does it make if there are more of us? It just means we'll make more contributions to maintaining public order."
Bai Bian: "We're not honest enough. We should also do some legitimate business on the surface!"
The old foreman: "Those people from the South run a lot of antique shops? But what's the use? They're still slinking around in fear when it comes to law enforcement..."
White Whip: "What's that?"
The old boss said, "It's about what you do, what you can contribute to the local area. Looking at the Black Dragon Group's business, you can see that there's nothing illegal, not even any gray-market activities: it's all legitimate catering, tourism, film and television, and real estate! This means that his identity is respectable. Secondly, his business has created countless jobs for the local area. These jobs are for ordinary people, not those who skirt the edges of our industry. Most importantly, his tourism industry has a huge impact on the local economy, making it even better. The local government will naturally respect and protect such enterprises. Even if such enterprises have had some shady dealings in the past or present, as long as it's not excessive, the authorities will turn a blind eye."
"A black body against a white background, and contributions made! This creates a golden body! This is the way to last forever!"
Do you understand?!
Black Knife and White Whip nodded as if they understood.
White Whip: "Old leader, do you mean we should defect to Black Dragon!"
Black Knife: "Let him help us clear our names!"
The old leader shook his head again: "Our relationship with Black Dragon is precious, we can't waste it on this."
"Moreover, given Qin Jiang's style of doing things at the Black Dragon Group, even if he helps us clear our name, he will still demand that we remain innocent afterward."
"The craftsmanship passed down from our ancestors: I don't want it to be completely lost in our generation..."
"Northern tomb raiding cannot be without..."
He spoke with absolute certainty.
If it's really as simple as the two of them say: he would have taken the two of them to a secluded place to live the lives of ordinary people long ago, so there's no question of whitewashing or not whitewashing. In fact, this inheritance in their generation is basically not for money. At least the three of them are not short of money and they still continue to do it so that the world knows that the Northern School still exists.
But he couldn't let go of this legacy!
Even if this kind of inheritance is not respectable!
Even if this tradition is illegal!
even if.....
It must be passed down from generation to generation and cannot be lost in our hands!
White Whip: "Then...what do we do!"
The old leader said, "He's just putting on a golden coat for himself!"
Black Knife: "What do you mean?"
The old foreman said, "From now on, we will no longer rob graves!"
White Whip: "Ah...won't that still mean the lineage will be severed?"
The old leader said, "No! Besides our two factions, North and South, there's an even larger faction in this business, do you know that..."
Black Knife: "A third faction? Where did they come from? How come I... Wait, boss! You don't mean to say..."
The old foreman said, "That's right! It's archaeology! Although they do similar things, they do it legally and in accordance with regulations. They can not only walk openly in the world, but also be respected, gain access to important institutions, and even serve as role models for others!"
Black Knife: "What do you mean! We're going to do archaeology too? But will they even accept us?"
The old leader said, "Going directly is definitely not an option! So you need to offer a pledge of loyalty!"
Bai Bian: "What pledge of allegiance?"
The old foreman: "Donate the cultural relics!"
Black Knife: "Donating cultural relics?"
The old foreman said, "Yes! But it can't be unearthed locally; that would be counterproductive. We need to excavate from other places! For example, Gandhi, enclaves—these neighboring regions have many cultural relics from the past that belonged to China. We can retrieve them and donate them to China. Then we can legitimately make some requests: for example, joining an archaeological team. Who knows, in the future we might even be able to teach and promote the Northern School of Archaeology..."
These words were spoken.
The eyes of the black-clad swordsman and the white whip gleamed with a peculiar light...
...
The Black Dragon convoy carried Qin Jiang and the others away.
Zhu Zheng: "Ma Jun resorted to such despicable tactics, clearly aiming to inflict heavy losses on both sides, a true test of who has the greater health. If Brother Jiang hadn't restrained that man today, something truly terrible would have happened..."
Qin Jiang looked out the window with a cold expression: "Since he wants to resort to such underhanded tactics, let's see who's worse!"
