Chapter 502 - 498: The Pretty Boy (1)
"I hope so too, I don’t want any unpleasantness among us either." Having said that, Ling Chen picked up his teacup and continued, "Since everyone is here, I have a favor to ask. I want you to firmly secure control over East Sea City’s territories in the shortest time possible."
Jiang Hao curiously asked, "Chen, why?"
"I’ve run into some trouble; someone is out to get me, and they’re a force to be reckoned with. However, their influence hasn’t extended to East Sea City yet. Before it does, I hope you can keep an eye out for any suspicious individuals making an appearance."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhengxiong and the others exchanged glances, with a trace of unease flickering in their eyes.
Seeing that no one spoke, Ling Chen continued, "I know this is a difficult task, but right now, you guys are the only ones I can count on, so..."
"Chen," Nanrong Hao interrupted Ling Chen, adding, "We didn’t say we’re not going to help you. In fact, we’ve been prepared for such a situation and have been planning for a long time."
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Hao said with a smile, "Chen, weren’t you always wondering why we insisted on opening courier companies? It’s not just courier services, but also the taxi industry; we’re involved in it all. Once we’ve organized all the territories, half the city’s taxi companies will be under our control. Both couriers and taxis interact with the largest number of people and are the quickest ways to acquire information. Our initial idea was to build a complete intelligence system. Each courier company is an information outpost, with couriers specifically tasked with gathering intelligence, which is then filtered through multiple layers to retain valuable data. With this system, as long as it’s in East Sea City, we can be the first to know about anything that happens."
Ling Chen’s eyes lit up as he listened to Jiang Hao’s explanation. If it weren’t for his normal sexual orientation, he would have felt like kissing Jiang Hao right then. This news was undoubtedly the best surprise for him; having his own source of intelligence would make many things much more convenient in the future.
"Good job, well done," Ling Chen said with a grin, "I hadn’t realized you had such foresight."
