Xu Chunliang did intend to move against the Mingde Group, but he hadn't planned on joining forces with Liu Haiyu; Liu Haiyu was a deeply scheming sort, and working with him would probably bring Xu no benefit.
The biggest takeaway from Xu Chunliang's talk with him tonight was that he needed to probe the inside of the Jingfu Building as soon as possible.
At midnight, Xu Chunliang came alone to the Jingfu Building. He looked up at the tower looming in the moonlight like a giant, then circled around to the back of the building, where he changed into a black tracksuit in the trees and put on an old-man cap that covered his nose and mouth. Ever since the Taibai Ghost Market, Xu Chunliang had discovered how useful this cap was, so he'd bought two and carried them with him for convenience.
