After successfully extorting a big shot from the cultural relics world, the Scorpion Gang did not go back on their word and rewarded this big shot with 200,000 yuan. In other words, the Scorpion Gang had only taken 4.8 million yuan from this big shot. With this successful extortion experience, the Scorpion Gang chose a few big shots in the cultural relics world who had private clubs to extort. These people all had close personal relationships with this big shot.
All the targets of extortion sent their money to this big shot, who then handed it over to the Scorpion Gang. However, there was a big shot who thought highly of himself and did not pay according to the time set by the Scorpion Gang. The Scorpion Gang exposed the fact that he had collaborated with several big shots to auction the Tri-colored Lottery of the Tang Dynasty to earn money. They also told him that if he did not pay up, the punishment would be increased.
This big shot had no choice but to bite the bullet and send the money to that big shot. However, the Scorpion Gang did not stop there. They even handed over the matter of him illegally smuggling cultural relics and providing false identification to earn commissions to the big shot. They asked him to talk to the big shot and handed him the letter from the Scorpion Gang.
This big shot had read the letter sent to him by the Scorpion Gang and knew that they had so many things on him that he had no choice but to lower his head. From then on, the Scorpion Gang's control over the big shots of the cultural relics world would become even stronger. As long as the cultural relics industry had a big profit, the Scorpion Gang would naturally get a share of the pie.
However, the Scorpion Gang also knew the consequences of draining the pond to catch the fish. Therefore, the Scorpion Gang had restrained their demands on the cultural relics world. The main purpose of the Scorpion Gang's extortion of the cultural relics industry was to establish the prestige of the Scorpion Gang, so that people would be afraid of the Scorpion Gang and steal some money.
When the news of the Scorpion Gang extorting the cultural relics world reached the ears of the gangs, the gangs felt that the Scorpion Gang was just so-so. They did not dare to lay their hands on the powerful gangs like them, so their guard against the Scorpion Gang was relaxed. The Scorpion Gang also took the opportunity to send people into the interior of these gangs to learn as much as possible about the illegal and criminal activities of these gangs, so as to accumulate materials for future extortion.
From the information returned by the members of the Scorpion Gang who had infiltrated the third-tier drug trafficking gang, this drug-related gang might have also attracted the attention of the public security organs. Many of their peripheral members had been arrested by the public security organs. It was very likely that the undercover agents of the public security organs had already hidden in the gang.
After receiving such information, Wang Ying and the others felt that they could not use the usual extortion methods against the gang members. They had to take them by surprise and attack them when they were unprepared. They had to cheat and rob as quickly as possible without contacting the public security organs. Once the extortion was successful, they would immediately retreat and no longer interfere with the drug gangs. Wang Ying knew very well that anything that the public security organs paid attention to was the most dangerous thing. It was the easiest to expose the identity of the Scorpion Gang members.
After careful discussion, Wang Ying and Wu Xiaobo decided not to touch the drug trafficking gang for the time being. They would let the Scorpion Gang brothers who had infiltrated the gang specifically collect information on larger transactions. If there was a big deal, the Scorpion Gang would rob and swindle to get the money. It would also take the opportunity to intimidate the drug gangs and make them accept the orders of the Scorpion Gang.
As for the Northwest Wolves, the Scorpion Gang's target was weapons. They wanted to extort a batch of more advanced weapons from the Northwest Wolves. Therefore, the Scorpion Gang decided to set a long line for the Northwest Wolves to catch a big fish. They would not move for the time being and observe in secret. He would try to cheat and rob as much as he could. He would first get his hands on the weapon and then seize the opportunity to control the Northwest Wolf.
The Scorpion Gang was prepared to make a fool of the Amur Tiger's protection fee collection gang. They not only wanted to extort the gang, but they also wanted to extort their umbrella and informants. The Scorpion Party's three teams infiltrated the Amur Tiger's internal department. Their goal was to fully investigate the Amur Tiger's collection of protection fees, assess the amount of money they collected, and determine the amount of extortion. The best result would be to control the Manchurian Tiger, take them in, and turn them into a peripheral organization of the Scorpion Gang.
Just as the Scorpion Gang continued to send people into the gang to investigate the situation, the Scorpion Gang's investigation of the private club also had new results. There were a few larger clubs that were frequented by upper-class figures and celebrities. Some female artistes who were slightly famous also provided erotic services to members in the club. With this information, the Scorpion Gang began to extort private clubs.
The Scorpion Gang focused on investigating three larger clubs. One was called Zhiyin Hall Club, one was called Xiaoxi Building Club, and the other was called Peach Garden Club. The owners of the three clubs were all famous big bosses who had close relationships with the upper class and celebrities from all walks of life. These clubs all had a membership system. The membership fee was 200,000 yuan, and one had to have a public and legal upper-class identity. No one could enter.
There were also some special members who didn't have to pay for it themselves and enjoyed exclusive membership benefits. The boss only had the details of these people on his secret list. These people were all powerful figures and were the targets of the boss's research. They could provide protection for the boss to a certain extent. They were also a small group. Without the recommendation of internal staff, they could not enter.
What was even more coincidental was that among these special people, there were also people who had been extorted by the Scorpion Gang. The Scorpion Gang wanted to use the people they had extorted to extort the club owner and all the members.
Among the members of the three clubs, there were also people that Wang Dafa and Liu Deshui knew. The Scorpion Gang informed Wang Dafa and Liu Deshui to spread the rumors of the Scorpion Gang's extortion to the club members they knew. They had to spread the rumors as scary as possible. The more mysterious, the better. The goal was to intimidate the members of these clubs and let them spread the rumors about the Scorpion Gang to facilitate the extortion.
Some of the rich bosses did not dislike the Scorpion Gang. Why? Because the Scorpion Gang kept their word and never went back on their word. Secondly, the Scorpion Gang did not harm human lives, kidnap, or kill hostages. They only wanted money, and they asked for money in a controlled manner. They did not want people to go bankrupt. Therefore, the rich big shots were not afraid of the Scorpion Gang's extortion. They did not take the Scorpion Gang seriously because they had money in their hands. The big shots believed that things that could be settled with money were not problems.
The Scorpion Gang's extortion of celebrities was firstly to create momentum and create deterrence. The second was money. As long as there was money to be earned, he would not hurt anyone. The Scorpion Gang would not harm anyone who could hand over the money according to the Scorpion Gang's request. They would even give a small reward. The reward for the Scorpion Gang had become a joke in society. Everyone thought that the Scorpion Gang was interesting, fun, and funny.
Actually, there was another reason why the Scorpion Gang had set up a small reward. It was to reduce conflicts and prevent the extorted person from becoming the Scorpion Gang's mortal enemy. They did not want the extorted person to hate the Scorpion Gang and engage in a life-and-death struggle. Wang Ying told all the members of the Scorpion Gang that the main purpose of the Scorpion Gang was to get money, not to hurt people. As long as they paid, the Scorpion Gang would not hurt anyone.
Why did the Scorpion Gang want so much money? The main reason was that the Scorpion Gang wanted to use money to defend themselves. Some of the older members of the Scorpion Gang were too old to work and needed to retire. The Scorpion Gang had to fork out a large amount of money to support these people in their old age. In addition, some members of the Scorpion Gang died. As for those who had contributed to the Scorpion Gang, the Scorpion Gang would take care of them. This was also a huge expense.
More importantly, there were more and more members of the Scorpion Gang. They needed a lot of money to feed themselves. Relying on the Scorpion Party's own businesses to earn money was not enough for the Scorpion Party's expenses. Therefore, the Scorpion Gang had to extort money, the more the better. Even if they were blackmailing the gangs, as long as they did not resist and paid, the Scorpion Gang would not harm their lives.
However, the Scorpion Gang showed no mercy to the gang leaders who had committed heinous crimes and disobeyed the orders of the Scorpion Gang. They killed them without leaving any corpses or traces. Moreover, there was a rule in the Scorpion Gang. Every member of the Scorpion Gang could only be executed once. They only had one chance to kill. After that, no one was allowed to kill anyone, no one was allowed to show off to others that they had killed anyone, and no member of the Scorpion Gang was allowed to ask if their accomplices had killed anyone. The first time he was questioned, he would be given a minor demerit, the second time a major demerit, and the third time a severe punishment or death penalty.
Due to the strict rules, the members of the Scorpion Gang had erased the killing from their memories. Any member of the Scorpion Gang who had carried out an execution was not allowed to mention their execution to others for the rest of their lives. Therefore, it was impossible for the accomplices of the people killed by the Scorpion Gang to find the killers in the Scorpion Gang. This was also a way for the Scorpion Gang members to protect themselves.
The rumor that the Scorpion Gang only wanted money and did not hurt people became more and more popular in society. There were even rumors that the Scorpion Gang was chivalrous, which made the public's impression of the Scorpion Gang better and better. The common people did not hate the Scorpion Gang because of their extortion. The common people hated those who had power and hated those who had money. For those who were unkind and rich, they cursed them to be blackmailed by the Scorpion Gang. They even took the initiative to provide information about the blackmailed people to the Scorpion Gang. This was very helpful for the Scorpion Gang's extortion.
Those who were angry and rich became the targets of the people's complaints to the Scorpion Gang. The members of the Scorpion Gang heard that the rich man had betrayed the common people and had done something heartless. They collected and recorded it as a resource to be extorted. Once the Scorpion Gang needed money, he would make a move on them. Some people were extorted by the Scorpion Gang. When the people heard about it, they set off firecrackers to celebrate, which indirectly increased the prestige of the Scorpion Gang among the people.
The Scorpion Gang's extortion operation was elusive. No one knew who the next person to be extorted by the Scorpion Gang would be. Moreover, those who had been blackmailed by the Scorpion Gang did not dare to disclose the information of their extortion. Firstly, they were afraid that others would clap their hands and laugh at them. Secondly, they were afraid that their illegal and criminal acts would be exposed and punished by the law. In this way, the Scorpion Gang's extortion crimes were protected, and the Scorpion Gang's extortion successfully escaped the law.
