Amidst the chaos that had enveloped the Xiaodao Gang, their remaining members were quick to rally, seeking revenge for the deaths of their leaders and key figures. However, before their retaliation could take form, another tragedy struck: the remaining four backbone members were found dead, shot multiple times in what appeared to be a personal vendetta. The timing and precision of these killings only fueled the Xiaodao Gang's rage.
Enraged and seeking vengeance, the gang members pointed fingers at Hongyitang and Baiyun Pavilion, convinced that their rivals were orchestrating the downfall of the Xiaodao Gang. The simmering tension erupted as they prepared to launch an assault on the territories of their perceived enemies.
However, before their plans could materialize, the three suspected Xiaodao Gang members, who were believed to have orchestrated the initial key member killings, vanished without a trace. It was as though they had evaporated from the face of the earth, leaving the gang members baffled and incensed.
Frustration and anger boiled over, and the Xiaodao Gang found itself divided and leaderless, grasping at straws to make sense of the rapid series of calamities that had befallen them. The lower-ranking members, bereft of guidance, lacked the cohesion to mount an effective retaliation.
In the midst of this turmoil, the Xiaodao Gang's desperation was seized upon by Baiyun Pavilion and Hongyitang. The two powerful factions saw an opportunity to further weaken their rivals and extended their reach into the newly vacated territories. The timing was perfect for an organized takeover, and the rival factions wasted no time in asserting their dominance.
As the Xiaodao Gang's grip on power crumbled, a group of gold-medal thugs from Baiyun Pavilion and Hongyitang stormed into the scene, pistols at the ready. With a swift and calculated move, they asserted control over the situation, effectively quelling any resistance from the remaining Xiaodao Gang members. The once-feared gang was reduced to a shadow of its former self.
Meanwhile, at Fang Yan's lakeside villa in Jinghua Garden, a sense of calm prevailed as he enjoyed a leisurely meal. Jarvis relayed the latest developments, informing Fang Yan of the Xiaodao Gang's downfall and the swift takeover by Baiyun Pavilion and Hongyitang. Fang Yan's lips curled into a satisfied smile as he contemplated the success of his calculated moves.
Fang Yan's strategy had achieved its desired outcome: the Xiaodao Gang was dismantled, and its territories were absorbed by the two rival factions. The balance of power in the city was shifting, and the once-mighty Xiaodao Gang had been erased from the map.
With the pieces falling into place, Fang Yan's vision for restructuring the criminal underworld of Ningcheng was well on its way to realization. The strategic use of information, timing, and calculated manipulation had proven to be formidable tools in his hands.
As Fang Yan savored his meal and contemplated his next moves, the ripple effects of his actions continued to reverberate through the city. The landscape of power and influence was undergoing a transformation, and the legacy of the Xiaodao Gang was fading into history.
