Chapter 149 Du Pengfei (2)_1
However, fortunately, just as he had received his first task from his superiors, which was to come to Capital City and stir up the Underworld there, he got captured.
"Hehe, I know, I shouldn’t have betrayed my country, I shouldn’t have worked for Country Y. To tell the truth, when I was captured by you yesterday, I actually felt a sense of relief," said Du Pengfei, sitting there, his expression having shifted from initial surprise to calmness. He hadn’t expected that the intelligence network of the Dragon Society was so powerful that it managed to find out all his information.
What he couldn’t have imagined was that his information hadn’t been unearthed by the people of the Dragon Society, but rather, he had revealed it himself.
"So, are you interested in cooperating with us?" It was only after listening to what Du Pengfei said yesterday that Situ Xin changed her mind and decided to spare him. Otherwise, Situ Xin wouldn’t have wasted so much time on Du Pengfei.
"Cooperate with you?" Du Pengfei didn’t understand what Situ Xin meant. Or rather, Du Pengfei didn’t understand what kind of cooperation Situ Xin was referring to. He definitely didn’t think that the Dragon Society wanted to cooperate with Country Y.
"Yes, cooperate with us. To cooperate in purging Country Y’s influence from your Green Tiger Gang," said Situ Xin casually.
Du Pengfei hadn’t expected that the cooperation Situ Xin was talking about would be this. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What’s your purpose in doing this?" Du Pengfei didn’t doubt the truth of Situ Xin’s words or the Dragon Society’s ability to do so. Rather, he believed that there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If Situ Xin said she wanted to cooperate, then she must have an ulterior motive.
"Hehe, the purpose? The purpose is quite simple. It’s to become everlasting partners with our Dragon Society. And, when I need the help of your Green Tiger Gang, you must lend a hand," Situ Xin said this, also considering her family.
After thinking it over, Du Pengfei responded, "Alright, I agree to cooperate with you." However, Du Pengfei felt it strange. With the current power of the Dragon Society, coupled with the fact that he was now detained by them, the underworld forces of Province Z should be like a dragon without a head. It wouldn’t be impossible for the Dragon Society to take over the underworld in Province Z. So why bother to cooperate with him?
Situ Xin hadn’t simply gone to take over the underworld in Province Z as Du Pengfei mentioned. It was easy to take it over, but managing it afterward was not. Moreover, Province Z was not far from Capital City, so deciding who to send there to manage was difficult. Therefore, after consideration, Situ Xin thought it was better to let Du Pengfei continue in charge, as long as he ensured that he would not oppose the Dragon Society in the future.
Nor could Situ Xin have imagined that although she didn’t take over the underworld of Province Z, in the near future, the Green Tiger Gang’s attitude towards her would become the same as towards the Dragon Society. Of course, this was a story for another time.
