After reading the conversation between Su Yu and his wife, Tang Qing suddenly remembered something.
"Tang Yi, are Su Yu's nearby assassins still present?"
He recalled that Myanmar had also left a backup plan this time. If Su Yu did not surrender, they would send him to heaven, which would make it much easier to either frame Ling or deal with the chaotic subordinates of Su Yu.
Why was this method not employed before?
Quite simply, the conditions were lacking. As long as illicit trade continued, not just Su Yu and his associates, but also leaders of minor forces, would resist to their death rather than contemplate surrender.
Now that they had lost their main source of income, this plan could proceed.
In reality, Tang Qing was truly reluctant to engage with the darkest aspects of this world and commit murder, but he had no choice. Since he desired power, he was inevitably going to encounter and even employ these sinister methods.
