Chapter 529: Initiating the Plan [For the White Silver Alliance Leader, the Immortal Big Brother, 123 Extra Chapter]
...
Fang Che returned to the Patrol Hall.
Along the way, he rode against the wind, and as the breeze brushed past him, his gloominess dissipated.
Moreover, he understood that after he left, the Night Emperor brothers would undoubtedly have a long conversation.
Unlike the Night Emperor's expectations, Fang Che thought more long-term.
"Grandfather Jiu once said that the worst situations often contain the best opportunities. Therefore, the matter between the Night Emperor and Sikong Dou might not be a bad thing."
"From any perspective, it was the Night Emperor who came up with the idea, but the plan failed, causing me, Fang Che, to lose face completely... This is also a fact."
"However, compared to the bigger picture, what does my lost face matter? So, this incident is actually a great opportunity."
Fang Che sighed in his heart, "It's just a pity that the nine little guys, including Ren Chun, won't be able to seize this opportunity."
"After I leave, the two brothers will have a long conversation. No matter what, the Night Emperor will definitely explain the situation thoroughly. As a result, because I lost face today, Night Emperor and Sikong Dou will feel guilty towards me."
"This sense of guilt, once it appears, is the best outcome of today's events."
"In the future, no matter what we do, it will be much easier. They will also take the initiative to help, and even if they help every time, they will still feel embarrassed in their hearts..."
"If we had successfully obtained it today, it would have given them a sense of 'settling the score.' In that case, it's better not to have obtained it today. So, from this perspective, losing face today was worth it."
"Today, I seemed to have lost face once, but in the long run, a master thief residing in Donghu Zhou and the Night Emperor, who rules the underworld, have both been pulled to our side. When something happens in Donghu Zhou, they can't just stand by and watch. From now on, Donghu Zhou will basically be worry-free... This is a great opportunity."
Upon this realization, Fang Che felt clear and refreshed.
This wasn't his plan; it was like a blessing from above.
"The relationship shouldn't be too strained. After they secretly help us a few times, I'll pay them a visit to mend the relationship. If I continue to pretend to be unaware, I'll be falling into a lower position again... After a few times, the initiative will be handed back to them."
Fang Che sighed in satisfaction, "This understanding of human relationships... It's indeed useful once you can see through it."
He returned to the Patrol Hall.
Fang Che immediately called for a meeting.
"How many people have been killed in the square outside the headquarters these past few days?"
"Almost two hundred thousand."
Feng Xiang Dong brought out the prepared investigation materials, "All death row inmates have been executed in twelve batches. This afternoon, another two thousand will be beheaded. Other severe criminals are also being retried in batches, with stricter and heavier penalties."
"The remaining death row inmates are also being screened to determine if they can be utilized. All prisons in Donghu Zhou under the Southeast Headquarters are extremely busy."
Fang Che sighed and said, "If we had done this earlier, it would have been resolved. They are all death row inmates; beheading them directly would have saved a lot of trouble. Since they are death row inmates, why keep them imprisoned for years? It's a waste of space, time, and manpower!"
Everyone lowered their heads.
Each had their own thoughts.
You also know they are death row inmates, but these inmates are connected to various matters, have resources, and there are clues that haven't been uncovered...
If all of this isn't thoroughly investigated, how can they be so rashly executed?
These are all resources, wealth, and the fulcrum for other matters.
Moreover, all prisons worldwide operate this way, not just the Southeast.
"Bring out the interrogation records related to the brothels."
Fang Che instructed, "It's time to take action. We'll start with the brothels. The prisons should have some empty cells now, but I feel like it's a waste of resources if the cells aren't filled."
All eight people shuddered.
The empty cells were for death row inmates.
The boss wanted to conduct a thorough investigation in Donghu Zhou!
"The brothels on Peace Road and Thousand Blessings Road are the main ones receiving children, while the others haven't been discovered yet. Both are located in the second district of the South."
Donghu Zhou is vast, and the population is enormous.
Therefore, in addition to dividing the region into East, West, South, North, and Central, each area is further divided into districts.
Below the districts, there are further subdivisions. The management is layered.
Each area has about ten districts, with the least populated having six or seven million, and the most populated having over ten million.
The area is densely populated and vast.
"We've investigated these past few days. The person in charge of these two brothels is Ma Yidao, known as the Knife. He is the district chief of the second district, managing six brothels."
"The task of receiving young children is handled by the managers. Hou Guan Shi is in charge of the Peace Road brothel, and Niu Guan Shi is in charge of the Thousand Blessings Road brothel. They usually operate at night."
"These two managers are in contact with the Green Dragon Gang, and the White Serpent Gang also sends children to them. With the White Serpent Gang and other gangs destroyed, these two managers have been feeling uneasy these days."
"Have you found their residences and travel routes?"
Fang Che asked, "Have you figured it out?"
"Yes, we have a clear understanding."
"What about their martial cultivation?"
"Ma Yidao's cultivation is around the King level. As for the two managers, they are just ordinary Martial Arts Grandmasters, and their ranks are not high, probably second or third-grade."
"Did you alert the people inside?"
"No."
"Where is Ma Yidao tonight?"
"According to his habit of inspecting a spring pavilion every two days, Ma Yidao should be at the Qian Xiang Road Spring Pavilion tonight."
Fang Che said, "Feng Xiang Dong, you, Mo Gan Yun, Yu Zhong Ge, and Jingshuanggao, you will go to the Peace Road Spring Pavilion to capture him."
"Xue Wanren will accompany me tonight."
"Everyone, take a break. Tonight, we're going to the brothel!"
This statement caused Night Meng, who was listening in on the meeting, to roll her eyes.
Her pretty eyes shot out two cold rays.
Her baby-fat face was covered in frost.
The brothers all fell silent, heads bowed.
Fang Che, unperturbed, said calmly, "Going to the spring pavilion is just for work. It's not what you're thinking. So, everyone, behave yourselves, especially Dong Yun Yu. Don't let your old habits resurface. If you really go to the brothel, don't blame us for ignoring you. We're not that kind of people!"
Dong Yun Yu suddenly widened her eyes, "Me... When did I ever have such... habits?"
All the brothers kept their heads down, their shoulders trembling.
Fang Che ignored Dong Yun Yu's explanation and said calmly, "We'll start at 9 PM tonight."
"After you capture him, bring him directly to the Qian Xiang Road Spring Pavilion!"
"Yes!"
...
For the next half afternoon, Fang Che watched as the nine youngsters studied.
The nine little ones stood in horse stances, sweating profusely as they recited their lessons.
First, they made a pot of porridge with two low-grade Essence Nourishing Pills, and each of them had a bowl.
Then, they began.
Fang Che, with his hands behind his back, paced back and forth. In his hand, he held a thin willow switch with tender green leaves still attached.
For those who couldn't endure, a whip would come down.
"You can quit if you can't take it."
Fang Che's tone was gentle and persuasive, "Quitting is not a problem. I'll find you a place to study, and when you grow up, you can become an accountant. A lifetime of a warm family is also a good choice."
"Your legs are shaking so much, quitting isn't shameful. Practicing martial arts is tiring, and you'll get beaten if you don't keep up."
"It's better to take it easy."
"You started too late, and you didn't receive any cultivation in your childhood. So, your bodies are filled with impurities. If I, and your brother Qiu, eat one portion of bitterness to take one step forward, you might have to eat ten portions to even take that first step."
Fang Che watched as the nine youngsters gritted their teeth and persevered through the sweat. He paced and spoke slowly.
"So, if you choose the martial path, your future will be bitter, very bitter, even more bitter than now! The requirements for you will be much stricter than for others!"
"Even after enduring such hardship, you might still be defeated by a powerful opponent with a single strike after decades of hard work."
"So, there's no shame in giving up."
Fang Che's eyes flashed with determination as he walked slowly, speaking calmly.
However, although the little ones were wobbling and struggling to endure, they still clenched their teeth and persisted.
They had been bullied since childhood, and their desire for martial power was almost an obsession. They were willing to risk their lives for it.
Not to mention just enduring some hardship? The current training was tough, but it was nothing compared to the suffering they had endured before.
Even the hunger they once experienced couldn't compare!
Although they were young, Ren Chun and the others understood that this was their only chance to change their fate.
So, they held on tightly.
A few days ago, before they started training, Ren Chun had warned his sister Ren Dong, fearing she couldn't endure the hardship.
"If you can't take the hardship of training, we won't acknowledge you anymore! You're not allowed to call me brother ever again!"
"If you get bullied in the future, we won't even look at you!"
The little girl was scared, afraid she wouldn't be able to endure the hardship, but after starting the training, even she realized, "Oh, it's just tiring..."
She felt relieved.
If even the little girl had this reaction, the others would surely feel the same.
So, after half an afternoon of training, Fang Che was satisfied.
The sweat on the little ones was no longer dark or yellow, indicating that the toxins and impurities from their abused bodies were being purged.
In other words, they were finally returning to the healthy state of normal children!
For this day, Fang Che had used a total of twenty-four low-grade Essence Nourishing Pills.
Each meal was carefully selected to suit their physiques and improve their conditions.
When it was time to rest, all nine youngsters collapsed on the ground, panting heavily, their little faces pale.
Beneath their small bodies, sweat soaked the ground, visible to the naked eye.
