Five days later, Cheng Rang found Xia Zhong.

Xia Zhong looked around cautiously and sat down only after he found that there was no one around.

He kept tapping his feet on the ground, very impatient: "What's the matter? Didn't we say that during this special period, we shouldn't meet unless necessary?"

Cheng Rang said, "I have arranged what the Second Young Marshal asked me to do. I can hand the person over to the Second Young Marshal in the afternoon."

The right foot stops.

Xia Zhong put away his impatient look, and a hint of suspicion flashed across his eyes.

He frowned and asked him, "Are you sure?"

He asked, staring into Cheng Rang's eyes the whole time, trying to find any unnaturalness in them.

The owner of the eyes was not in a hurry.

"The Second Young Marshal wants me to do this, isn't it to make sure I can do it?"

Cheng Rang remained standing, his eyes casually moving around him, "But I have a request."

"You still dare to make demands?"

"Why not? I have done something, shouldn't I ask for benefits?"

Xia Zhong asked unhappily, "What's the request?"

"My request is very simple," Cheng Rang said, "I will give Song Huiyi to the Second Young Marshal, and the Second Young Marshal will return my mother to me."

"You are dreaming!" Xia Zhong's face changed and he shouted harshly.

"Whether it is a delusion or not, you need to ask the Second Young Marshal in person to know. We are all people who work for the Second Young Marshal, so why are you asking me?"

Cheng Rang's question calmed Xia Zhong down a little.

The young marshal still needs Cheng Rang to do things for him, so he can't annoy him now. It won't be too late to deal with Cheng Rang after the matter is over.

Only Cheng Rang can do this.

Xia Zhong made up his mind and softened his tone: "How do you catch her?"

"I have my own way. But I can't do it alone. I need someone to help me."

Cheng Rang said, "I'll wait for you here. Go back and ask the Second Young Marshal first. If he agrees, I'll tell you the next steps."

His tone was somewhat arrogant.

It's not about negotiating conditions, but about making conditions.

Xia Zhong looked up and noticed that there were two people, one standing and one sitting.

This one is nothing.

It was just that Cheng Rang looked down at him with a condescending attitude, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Xia Zhong couldn't help it in the end.

He stood up suddenly, the chair fell to the ground, and he raised his hand to tear off the mask on Cheng Rang's face.

He threw it hard on the ground.

Xia Zhong raised his foot, stepped on the mask, and crushed it repeatedly.

Without moving his feet, he approached him viciously, and squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: "Don't forget, the fact that you can stand on this piece of land in South City is because of the identity given to you by the young marshal!"

Cheng Rang glanced at him and remained calm.

He said, "Then don't forget that it was me who gave him advice, so that the Second Young Marshal had the resources of the Northland and could use them to kill the Third Young Marshal."

"What do you mean?"

Cheng Rang narrowed his eyes slightly and took a step closer to Xia Zhong.

The two of them were so close to each other, which added a lot of deterrence.

Cheng Rang said in a deep voice: "What do you mean? I earned my way to be here!"

He is not afraid of Xia Zhong.

Xia Zhong is Shen Ruye's confidant and the person he trusts the most, but he cannot represent Shen Ruye, and the final decision still lies with Shen Ruye.

Even though he regarded Xia Zhong as his confidant, he would not destroy or disrupt his plans because of his joys and sorrows.

Now, Shen Ruya just wants to turn defeat into victory.

Kidnapped Song Huiyi, threatened Shen Yuqing, and stayed in South City——

These are Shen Ruye’s top priorities.

Xia Zhong was choked by him and couldn't speak.

He calmed himself down before saying, "Your mother is in the hands of the young marshal, and her life and death are also in the hands of the young marshal. If the young marshal wants to kill her, she will die in the next second!"

Cheng Rang sneered: "She's dead, I have nothing to worry about, why should I work for the Second Young Marshal?"

"..."

Xia Zhong didn't have another attack in the end.

He left with a sullen face.

Back in the yard, he told Shen Ruye about Cheng Rang's conditions.

"...Young Marshal, this kid has become too independent. We should teach him a lesson!" Xia Zhong was indignant.

A nobody is so unreasonable!

Xia Zhong is loyal to Shen Ruye. He went out to represent Shen Ruye, but Cheng Rang just challenged him with every word!

Isn't this a slap in the face of the young commander?

Xia Zhong was filled with indignation, but Shen Ru did not react much.

He squatted on the ground, loosening the soil around the flowers and plants with a small hoe.

"He knows I have to use him, so it's reasonable for him to take the opportunity to ask for benefits."

Shen Ruye didn't take her eyes off the flowers and plants in front of her, and said calmly, "As long as he can send Song Huiyi to me, why not give it to him?"

"But……"

"You mean there's nothing holding him back?"

"……Yes."

"If I succeed, it means he has offended the Green Gang. Where else can he go? Returning his mother to him is a sign of my kindness to him. If I fail..."

He turned around and glanced at Xia Zhong with a calm expression.

Then he turned his gaze back.

With the experience of the previous two times, he was neither anxious nor impatient this time.

More haste less speed.

He said: "The governor sent me abroad, and I won't be able to come back in the next few years. The only power left in South City will also fall apart. I can't use him, so what use is his mother to me?"

Originally, his mother's role was to control Cheng Rang.

After all, it is a matter of repaying the kindness.

As long as Cheng Rang could kidnap Song Huiyi, he didn't mind sending this person away.

Always give some sweetness!

"Young Marshal is wise." Xia Zhong cupped his hands, "Young Marshal has thought it through, and he will surely achieve his wish!"

I feel relieved to hear this.

Shen Ruye also showed a faint smile on his face: "I said that I would ask Shen Yuqing to personally ask the governor to keep me here."

Shen Yuqing wanted him to leave, and the governor also wanted him to leave.

He just stayed!

Staff Officer Gao often comes into contact with the military governor, and he would try to curry his favor.

The warlord is soft-hearted, but there is a father-son relationship after all.

"If weeds are not pulled out, they will grow wildly."

Shen Ru also put down the hoe and pulled out the weeds with his own hands. "Since I've been sick for so long, the weeds have grown so much. It's only useful to curb them at the source."

He threw the weeds on the ground.

Shen Ru also stood up and shook the dirt off his hands.

"Write him a reply and tell him I agree."

Shen Ru also said, "Come back when you have made your arrangements. It will be a special experience for us to play chess quietly here on such a lively afternoon."

In particular, even if something happened, he would not be suspected.

He is here, and his confidants are here too.

The person who did the job was Mr. Cheng’s son.

Cheng Rang is a shadow and has no name in this world.

Shen Ru was also very confident that he had left nothing out this time. Even if the warlord investigated, it would be related to past events and an old grudge that had not yet been avenged.

Shen Ru also asked: "Is there anything unusual about him recently?"

"He knew we were following him and he threw us off every time."

Xia Zhong said seriously, "He has always been dishonest. I am worried that he has ulterior motives and has secretly colluded with the Qing Gang to defeat us."
