This bodyguard is too invincible

Swish! Dong Yongping's face suddenly turned deathly pale! He had just been about to flee, yet he'd been blocked right at his doorstep?

Before Dong Yongping could even react, a large group of suit-clad enforcers had already rushed down from the imposing fleet of cars.

These enforcers exuded a murderous aura, emitting a terrifying pressure.

Soon, a path was cleared among the crowd of enforcers, and a young man in a suit, sporting slicked-back hair, was slowly walking forward.

The man had a cigar clenched between his teeth, his demeanor calm and composed.

He slowly made his way in front of Dong Yongping.

"Big Dong, in such a hurry to leave, where were you planning to go?"

Swish~! Upon seeing the young man, Dong Yongping's complexion changed drastically once again!

Because he recognized the young man before him.

"Du... Master Du... What brings you here?" Dong Yongping forced a smile onto his face.

The man before him was surnamed Du, named Tingchao.

He was the Crown Prince of the Du Family, one of the four century-old noble families in the underworld of Hai City!

Du Tingchao's lips curved upwards slightly, "I know that your Peace Society's days are numbered, so I thought I'd come and lend a hand."

Hearing this, Dong Yongping's face was a picture of confusion and suspicion.

"How is it that, upon seeing our Master Du, you don't invite us in?" Du Tingchao's female secretary spoke in a cold tone.

Dong Yongping's body trembled, and he quickly bowed and stooped to invite Du Tingchao into the Peace Society's gambling den.

In the presence of Du Tingchao, the Crown Prince, Dong Yongping did not dare to offend.

Because the Crown Prince before him was none other than the Crown Prince of the Du Family from Southern Jiangnan.

The Du surname... had a legacy of a hundred years!

A century ago, turbulence engulfed Hai City! At that time, Qing Gang, the underground organization, virtually ruled the underworld of the entire East China region.

The Qing Gang of a hundred years ago... reigned supreme! Even the foreign armies would make a detour upon seeing Qing Gang members.

And the leader of Qing Gang back then bore the surname Du!

His full name: Du Yuexiao!

In those days, Du Yuexiao, along with three other overlords... were respected by the world... as the Four Big Bosses of Hai City's underworld!

And the Master Du Tingchao before him was the great-grandson of the Qing Gang leader, Du Yuexiao, from a hundred years ago!

After the establishment of the new Yanxia nation, although the Qing Gang had perished, the bloodline of the Du Family continued to this very day.

Today's Du Family had continued for a hundred years, accumulating an unprecedented network of influence in the Jiangnan region.

"Master Du... Your Du Family... hasn't it been a long time since you've meddled in worldly affairs... Why come to me out of the blue tonight?" Dong Yongping asked cautiously.

In front of Du Tingchao, Dong Yongping even dared only to refer to himself as 'this humble one.'

Decades ago, during the reform and opening-up, the Du Family had faced suppression from the authorities; to avoid risks, the Du Family chose to retreat from public life and henceforth refrained from underworld activities, peacefully and humbly conducting their business.

Yet tonight, the Crown Prince of the long-silent Du Family suddenly made an appearance, approaching Dong Yongping.

This made Dong Yongping extremely nervous, with an ominous premonition.

Du Tingchao sat on the sofa, legs crossed, smiling lightly, "I've said it already, I'm here to help you."

"Bai Wangchuan is dead, his biggest backer, Deputy City Lord Gao Yuan, has also been taken down. Dong Yongping, as Bai Wangchuan's business partner, you too cannot escape responsibility. However, if you run away now, wouldn't it mean that the gambling empire you built over decades would just fall into someone else's hands?" Du Tingchao's voice was playful.

Dong Yongping's expression was somewhat embarrassed; indeed, if he fled tonight, all his assets in Jiangnan might be confiscated, and these assets in Jiangnan could not possibly be transferred or taken with him.

Dong Yongping asked complicatedly, "May I ask, Master Du... how can you help me?"

Du Tingchao took a deep drag on his cigar and said indifferently, "I can help you by mobilizing the power of my Du Family to deal with Su Wanqiao, as well as the umbrella protecting her. Once Su Wanqiao is taken care of, the situation in Hai City will be reorganized, and your Peace Society will become renowned in a single battle; from then on, your Peace Society will reign supreme in Hai City, and no one will dare to touch you. After the Su Family is destroyed, you can take over the Su Family's assets, and your Peace Society can be successfully legitimized. Even if the authorities want to crack down on organized crime, you can throw away the empty shell of the Peace Society for them to investigate, and you can sit back and enjoy the white-billion assets of the Su Family, becoming a legitimate businessman who removed himself from the underworld for good. What do you say? Will you consider it?"

Upon hearing this, a slight twitch crossed Dong Yongping's brows; the proposal... was indeed very tempting.

"Master Du, why don't you take on the Su Family yourself?" Dong Yongping asked uncertainly.

If the Du Family took action, they could annihilate the Su Family in minutes. So why would they need to collaborate with his modest Peace Society?

With a slight curve to his lips, Du Tingchao said, "My Du Family has been in retirement for decades, and it is not convenient for us to take action now. That's why I'm using the name of your Peace Society to act. All I want is Su Wanqiao herself and the formula for Heavenly Medicine she holds. Once we take down the Su Corporation, all its assets will be yours to keep. I don't want them."

After much deliberation, Dong Yongping finally nodded his agreement.

Du Tingchao extended his hand with a smile, "Big Dong, it's a pleasure doing business with you."

"Master Du, may I ask... when do you plan to act against Su Wanqiao?" Dong Yongping asked cautiously.

Elevating his deep arc, Du Tingchao proclaimed, "Why wait for another day? Let's act tomorrow."
