The other building leaders hadn't expected Zhang Yi to use this approach to deal with them.
After all, Zhang Yi had been going out every day to search for supplies during this time.
This made them naturally assume that Zhang Yi had to go out and search for supplies in order to survive.
But now, Zhang Yi was standing with his hands in his pockets, showing his cards directly!
"You want to fight me?"
"Come at me, I'm hiding in my iron turtle shell—let's see what you can do!"
When everyone was feeling conflicted, it was Li Jian who broke the deadlock.
"I think negotiation is the best way to resolve this issue. It's better than a fish dies and the net is torn."
"If we're negotiating, I can step in."
Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Li, I really appreciate your attitude. Back in the company, I always thought you were the most reasonable one."
"Come over and talk to me, I'm much more at ease with you. Not like those bastards who love to ambush others!"
Zhang Yi deliberately called Li Jian "Mr. Li," letting everyone know that he and Li Jian were familiar with each other.
He also took the opportunity to put down Huang Tianfang and Wang Qiang.
To deal with such temporary alliances, Zhang Yi needed to create conflicts within their ranks.
Although the 29 building leaders had temporarily formed a united front, they were not all on the same page.
If it weren't for their shared goal of dealing with Zhang Yi, they would be fighting amongst themselves.
Sure enough, this statement had some effect.
Wang Qiang sneered, "Li Jian, can you represent all of us?"
Huang Tianfang coldly said, "We can't let you go alone to negotiate with him!"
Chen Lingyu said, "In that case, I'm going too!"
Everyone was worried that someone else might strike a deal with Zhang Yi in private, so they were all scrambling to meet with him.
Once this conversation started, the others couldn't hold back and wanted to negotiate with Zhang Yi as well.
Zhang Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent.
He wasn't afraid of them coming; he was just afraid they wouldn't come!
"Fine, tomorrow at 2:30 PM, I'll be waiting at Building 25 for your esteemed visit. Don't be late!"
Zhang Yi left this message and immediately exited the chat group, giving them no room for negotiation.
If all went well, tomorrow he would kill all 29 of the building leaders!
Though this would surely provoke the collective hatred of their subordinates, without a leader, they would fall into chaos and fail to unite quickly.
Zhang Yi would have time to pick them off one by one.
Still, his confidence came from his powerful firepower and impregnable fortress.
He was both offensive and defensive, unafraid of any opponent!
The foot bath had cooled down a bit, and Zhang Yi lowered his head, speaking to Zhou Ke'er, "Alright, help me dry my feet!"
Zhou Ke'er nodded and used the foot cloth to dry his feet.
She went to the bathroom to pour out the foot bath water, then came back to massage Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi turned his head to look at the beautiful female doctor, his eyelids lowered, and suddenly he stretched out his hand.
"Don't use your phone for the next few days. Hand it over to me."
The big battle was imminent, and he needed to prepare thoroughly to eliminate the people who posed a threat.
Any unsafe factors also needed to be completely eliminated.
Zhou Ke'er was momentarily stunned but then handed her phone over to Zhang Yi.
"Are you going to fight them?"
She softly asked.
Zhang Yi replied indifferently, "Maybe. But I need to prepare for the war in advance. After all, the number of enemies this time is nothing compared to before."
"Oh, I understand."
Zhou Ke'er nodded and continued massaging Zhang Yi without asking any further questions.
Having spent so much time together, she had come to understand Zhang Yi's personality.
When he was in a good mood, joking and chatting was no problem.
But when he was serious, it was best not to talk too much or ask questions.
Looking at Zhang Yi's serious expression and the occasional sharp glint in his eyes, Zhou Ke'er knew that Zhang Yi was deeply contemplating strategies.
She couldn't do anything else for him right now, but she could fulfill her duties as a woman.
After a moment of thought, Zhou Ke'er moved behind Zhang Yi.
Her soft white hands placed gently on his shoulders, beginning to knead with just the right pressure.
Then, Zhang Yi felt the back of his head being enveloped by a mysterious, soft, and powerful force.
"This is…"
Zhang Yi's gaze became hazy.
The sensation was like a euphoric pleasure, as if he had ascended to heaven.
He didn't expect Zhou Ke'er to have such a skill!
"Ahh, so comfortable~"
Zhang Yi couldn't help but speak out.
Zhou Ke'er's heart lifted with joy, and her face turned red as she said, "I'm glad you like it. I only recently learned this."
Zhang Yi leaned back against Zhou Ke'er's chest, feeling surrounded by the warmth and softness, which made him relax significantly.
His thoughts also became clearer and more focused.
Zhang Yi closed his eyes, secretly pondering.
He had arranged a meeting with the 29 building leaders.
If they all showed up tomorrow, Zhang Yi would not hesitate to kill them all!
The remaining people would be in disarray, and Zhang Yi would have the chance to take them down one by one.
But those people weren't all fools.
Some might not show up, opting to watch from the sidelines.
If that happened, attacking them would alert the snake and cause trouble for future plans.
What should he do in that case?
Zhang Yi's mind sank into the ebb and flow of thought.
After some time, he made up his mind.
If those people didn't show up according to his plan, or if fewer than half of them came, he would temporarily pretend to agree to their demands.
He would hide his strength and let them grow complacent.
Then, using a series of methods, he would instigate infighting and weaken their combat strength.
Afterward, he would wait for the right opportunity to eliminate them all!
After all, time was on Zhang Yi's side. As long as he didn't take the initiative to attack other buildings, he could easily crush all of them.
"I must not be in a hurry. If I rush, I might make a mistake, and one mistake could lead me into danger."
"I need to be a patient hunter, setting traps step by step, and then letting the prey walk right into my snare."
Zhang Yi's thoughts finally became clear, and he figured out how to deal with them.
Perhaps Zhou Ke'er's new massage technique had something to do with it.
In preparation for tomorrow's negotiation, he needed some manpower to maintain the situation.
The first person Zhang Yi thought of was Uncle You.
He picked up his phone and sent Uncle You a message, briefly explaining tomorrow's plan.
Uncle You immediately responded, "Tell me what to do, and I'll handle it. I'm at your service!"
Over the past few days, Zhang Yi had been doing small favors for Uncle You, and through the several battles that showcased his marksmanship, he had completely won Uncle You's loyalty.
Now, Uncle You was fully devoted to following Zhang Yi and would carry out his orders without hesitation.
