Special District 9 Chapter 90: Yuan Hua’s High Regard

Yong Dong lit his smoke as he pondered for a brief moment before he replied, “Unlikely. I don’t think that he’ll change his mind.”

“He was backstabbed at a critical moment,” Yuan Hua pointed out with a frown. “He might try to get revenge on us.”

“If the Ma Family doesn’t know that he’s the culprit, he might still try to exact vengeance against us over this matter,” Yong Dong replied analytically.

“But even a fool can tell that the goods in the Ma Family’s warehouse were swapped by Little Qu. Do you think that lad would still head back to the Ma Family and try to pull something?

Yuan Hua paced around the room for a moment before he turned to Yong Dong and said, “It’ll be safer if I entrust this job to you. You can deal with this while you lie low elsewhere.”

“Leave it to me,” Yong Dong accepted the job right away.

“Let’s end the game here for today,”
