"I swear, I absolutely won't go. If I see them, I'll stay far away and definitely won't have any conflicts."

"Very good." Luke stared at the other person's face and asked, "Do you know Zheng Lagong?"

"Are you talking about the Vice Hall Master of the Flying Dragon Gang's Iron Blood Hall, Zheng Lagong?"

"How much do you know about him?"

"Zheng Lagong is Southeast Asian, to be precise, he's Thai, not of Chinese descent.

I don't know about his ancestors hundreds of years ago, but he looks more like a Thai person.

The Flying Dragon Gang originally only recruited Chinese near Chinatown, but as it got harder to recruit, they started taking in some Asians.

Zheng Lagong was among the first Asian recruits of the Flying Dragon Gang. It's said that this guy practiced Thai boxing and even killed a fighter from He Sheng Hall in an underground black boxing match. He was also a tough character before.

Recently, there have been many rumors about him, saying he kidnapped a gambling king from Southeast Asia and extorted money from him.

Some say he was killed by the gambling king; I don't know the specifics.

Yesterday, the Flying Dragon Gang reported new information about him, saying he was hiding in a motel.

The He Sheng Hall people also got interested, wanting to find the gambling king through him, but when they went to the motel, no one was there, a wasted trip.

At night, there was news that the undercover within the Flying Dragon Gang was beheaded." Blue Hair shivered, looking at Luke with some fear.

Luke guessed he might be feeling a sense of "when the rabbit dies, the fox grieves."

"Yesterday, there was a shootout between law enforcement and the Flying Dragon Gang, did you know?"

Blue Hair nodded, "I think I heard about it."

"It was Swat Team from the Bureau." Luke explained, "The Bureau's informant was also exposed; they went to rescue the informant.

As long as you're loyal enough, the Bureau won't abandon you.

And you should know that being involved in a gang is ultimately not the right path, few have a good ending.

The Bureau is also a way out for you.

As long as you're on the same page with me, I'll cover for you."

"Thank you." Blue Hair still wanted to refuse, but he had no choice.

"Tell me about Zhang Qilong, how did he die?"

"I don't know.

That night we drank too much and had a conflict with Will.

I and Scarface, Bear went to chase Will, and when we came back, Brother Long was already gone.

The next day, they found his body."

"Do you think Will killed him?"

"Honestly, I don't think Will dared to kill someone, and there's no need for such a trivial matter."

"Then why did you go to the restaurant to trouble him?"

"Brother Long was killed, we as his subordinates have a responsibility.

At the time, we all went after Will, so he has a certain responsibility too.

It's better for him to take the blame than us.

Besides, if I want to take Brother Long's place, I have to do something, the simplest is to find Will and beat him up.

This not only gives an account to Brother Long but also shows the gang, so I can secure Brother Long's position."

Blue Hair's statement was similar to what Luke suspected, so he continued to ask, "Did Zhang Qilong show any abnormalities before he died?"

"Brother Long was very extravagant those days, saying he got connected with someone influential, and once the matter was completed, he'd receive a large sum of money."

"Who was this influential person?"

"Brother Long was very tight-lipped, just laughed and didn't say."

"What task was this?"

"That influential person asked him to find a plastic surgery clinic, one that the police couldn't trace. Brother Long even had me help look, otherwise, I wouldn't have known.

Brother Long instructed that this matter must be kept secret, if it got out, not only would he not get the money, but there could be danger.

So he only told me, Scarface and Bear didn't know.

In the end, Brother Long was dead before he got the money."

"Did you find a suitable plastic surgery clinic?"

"Yes, we found a place in a beauty salon on Kauwila Street. If there's a need for plastic surgery, they can contact big hospital's plastic surgeons for surgery, but it costs more."

"Did Brother Long pass this information to the 'influential person'?"

"Probably not, Brother Long was smart, he said it was 'money for information'.

Brother Long hadn't got the money before he died, he couldn't have told him."

"Are you sure it was not that he got the money but didn't tell you?"

Blue Hair "..."

"It shouldn't be...right." Blue Hair's voice was somewhat shaky.

An influential person? A plastic surgery clinic?

Luke immediately thought of Gambling King Zhou Tiansheng.

According to Chen Yue's description, that corpse was likely Song Jinbao.

Luke and the others suspected that Zhou Tiansheng might prepare to escape after plastic surgery.

Because Zhou Tiansheng and Zheng Lagong were close, and since Zheng Lagong is missing, the Bureau suspected Zhou Tiansheng might have used Zheng Lagong's connections to find the clinic.

But unexpectedly, Zhou Tiansheng didn't use Zheng Lagong's connections.

Instead, he found a small leader, Zhang Qilong, from the opposing power of the Flying Dragon Gang, He Sheng Hall, to search, and afterward, Zhang Qilong died mysteriously, it looked like silencing.

...

Kauwila Street, Venus Beauty Salon.

The salon had three floors; usually, only the first two were used, and the third served as storage.

In a room on the west side of the third floor of the beauty salon, the curtains were drawn, and the lights were on.

The room was transformed into an operating room, with the surgery table in the middle, many instruments on both sides, a doctor in a blue surgical suit, with three nurses beside.

At the moment, lying on the surgery table was an Asian man, around forty, medium build, very lean, and seemed like a capable person.
