Chapter 340

Chapter 340 Eliminate Him at All Costs!

The driver’s name was Yang Kang, a trusted subordinate of Wanyan Zhengyong who handled many affairs within the gang, and his status had been gradually rising.

Clearly, this simple sentence had already stirred up tremendous waves in the vehicle!

“Is it him?”

Wanyan Huazhong already felt his breathing suddenly become rapid!

“Is the information reliable?” After a full ten seconds of silence, Wanyan Zhengyong finally spoke. His gaze remained deep and calm, as if he hadn’t been too shocked.

However, Old Tian, who had followed him for many years, knew that when Wanyan Zhengyong was at his calmest, that was when he was most unsettled.

The calmer the sea surface, the more likely it was to hide turbulent undercurrents!

“The information is absolutely reliable. We have quite a few moles inside the Azure Dragon Gang, all carefully cultivated over the years. Some are even originally members of our Yuanwei Gang.”

Yang Kang quickly organized his words, trying to report as clearly as possible: “The incident occurred at Caesar Palace, a venue under the Azure Dragon Gang. Our informant was present and witnessed the entire process firsthand.”

“What exactly happened?” Wanyan Huazhong hurriedly asked.

In fact, finding out what happened was actually very simple – just grab any survivor from Beitang and ask. But ever since spending 50 million to ransom back those so-called Beitang elites, Wanyan Zhengyong felt extremely displeased and ordered them to reflect behind closed doors, not even bothering to speak a word to these people.

To lose face for the gang like this before the Ten-Year Competition even began – if he let these subordinates wrapped in bandages out again, wouldn’t that invite even more gossip?

It was precisely this simple reason that caused Wanyan Zhengyong to miss the truth of the matter.

If he and Old Tian had known in advance that Su Rui alone had killed so many people from the Yuanwei Gang, who knows if they would still have praised him so highly!

Yang Kang hesitated, glanced at Wanyan Huazhong, then respectfully said to the gang leader: “In response to the gang leader, this subordinate dares not conceal anything. According to the informant’s report, it was indeed the Four Tigers of Beitang who first provoked trouble at Caesar Palace. The four of them injured a female waitress and declared they would kill Li Yang that night and seize the forward position in Ninghai.”

Yang Kang was a trusted confidant who only answered to Wanyan Zhengyong, so naturally he wouldn’t favor any side in his words. Therefore, he truthfully reported what Beitang had done.

Yang Kang knew this would certainly offend Wanyan Huazhong, the actual head of Beitang, but the matter was significant – he had to explain everything clearly, even though the young gang leader’s face had already darkened like water!

“Huazhong, is this Beitang being eager to achieve merit, or are you eager to achieve merit?” Wanyan Zhengyong’s tone suddenly turned cold, and a suffocating chill gradually spread throughout the room!

As the gang leader, Wanyan Zhengyong naturally knew how much money his son had poured into Beitang over the years. The Yuanwei Gang explicitly prohibited this kind of private cultivation of one’s own forces, but since it was his own son, Wanyan Zhengyong had turned a blind eye.

Who could have imagined that Beitang would be so incompetent and reckless! Just after arriving on someone else’s territory, they were already shouting about capturing Ninghai’s forward position. With such a commotion, even if Li Yang were a fool, he would realize that the Yuanwei Gang intended to make a move against the Azure Dragon Gang!

Thinking of this, Wanyan Zhengyong was immediately filled with rage.

It had been a very long time since he had been this angry. His gaze was so gloomy it was frightening!

Infected by this atmosphere, Wanyan Huazhong didn’t dare say a word and could only try hard to control his body from trembling.

After a moment of silence, Wanyan Zhengyong gradually withdrew his gloomy aura and said softly: “Two of the Four Tigers of Beitang still survive.”

“Yes.” Yang Kang answered.

“Considering their years of loyal service to the Yuanwei Gang, spare their lives but expel them from the gang.” Wanyan Zhengyong’s voice was very cold.

“I’ll arrange it immediately.”

Yang Kang said this and began editing a text message.

Wanyan Huazhong on the side felt like he was going to die from the loss! Those two people cost him a full 20 million to ransom back, and if he had known his father would expel them from the gang, he wouldn’t have wasted that money!

“Huazhong, after the Ninghai matter is concluded, you will resign from your work in Ninghai. The wasteland reclamation still needs manpower – you can stay there for a year.” Wanyan Zhengyong said indifferently.

Hearing this order, Wanyan Huazhong was almost speechless. Making him leave the glamorous world of Ninghai to return to that harsh land to reclaim wasteland? No normal person would agree!

“Dad… I think I’ve already established a foundation in Ninghai, and the connections I have can help us in the future…”

Wanyan Huazhong wanted to say more, but Wanyan Zhengyong directly interrupted: “The sharp edge of a sword comes from grinding, the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold. My mind is made up, say no more.”

Wanyan Huazhong could only close his mouth awkwardly, but when he turned around, he glared fiercely at Yang Kang with rather venomous eyes.

If this guy hadn’t been so quick to tell the truth, why would he need to go reclaim land for a year?

Wanyan Zhengyong’s gaze drifted toward Su Rui again, saying: “What I’m worried about isn’t that Beitang will ruin the gang’s century-long plan, but rather him.”

Everyone understood what Wanyan Zhengyong meant. Su Rui was now an enemy, not a friend, and having such a powerful enemy was something no one wanted to see.

Thinking about how he had actually considered recruiting this person today, Wanyan Zhengyong couldn’t help but find it somewhat laughable.

“He saved Wang Dazhuang today, which shows this person perhaps doesn’t have any deep hatred for the Yuanwei Gang. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have intervened at that moment.” Old Tian’s skills were very formidable, but he still didn’t want to have such a terrifying and young enemy. If such a person were to guard Ninghai, whether the Yuanwei Gang could bring down the Azure Dragon Gang would be hard to say!

You must know that in their view, Su Rui was the kind of sharp blade that could take an enemy general’s head from among ten thousand troops! Without a foolproof strategy, there was no way to stop him by force alone!

Wanyan Zhengyong’s voice suddenly became slightly hoarse: “Old Tian, if it were you, facing an assault by forty-four Beitang elites, could you remain completely unharmed?”

Old Tian shook his head very decisively: “I’m well aware of Beitang’s combat power. I couldn’t do it. Among those forty-four people were skilled fighters like the Four Tigers of Beitang. If they all rushed at once, they could wear me down to death, let alone remain completely unharmed.”

Old Tian’s words shocked everyone in the vehicle once again! Even Master Yu on the side showed an expression of disbelief!

He was confident in his own skills, but once facing Old Tian with his ethereal demeanor, he admitted he had no chance of winning! Was Beitang’s combat power really that formidable?

“Forty-four people, all rushing at once – unless one knows lightness skills, it would be very difficult to escape.” Old Tian’s name was Tian Bingyi, and his background was quite mysterious. It was said he was an expert Gang Leader Wanyan Zhengyong had known since his youth.

“Then doesn’t that mean this Su Rui is unstoppable?” Wanyan Huazhong seemed to have already moved past the earlier punishment and said in shock. He had thought Su Rui was strong, but never imagined he would be strong to such an outrageous degree!

It had been a long time since Wanyan Zhengyong had furrowed his brow so tightly. He looked at Old Tian, somewhat surprised: “So you’re saying his combat power is even above yours?”

“It shouldn’t be, otherwise I would have lived all these years in vain.” Old Tian shook his head: “He must have used some method of intimidation to make Beitang’s people lose their will to fight. Otherwise, even if he could defeat Beitang’s elites, it would at most be a pyrrhic victory.”

“Indeed, as Old Tian said.” Yang Kang interjected: “Su Rui used absolute force to intimidate everyone except the Four Tigers, and even… even made them kill each other…”

Saying this, Yang Kang lowered his eyes. Sometimes truthful reporting also required tremendous courage!

“Kill each other? What do you mean?” Hearing this, Wanyan Zhengyong’s tone immediately became stern, and his body suddenly sat upright!

Two cold lights also shot from Tian Bingyi’s eyes!

“This subordinate dares not deceive the gang leader in the slightest.” Yang Kang didn’t dare face such gazes, so he reported the entire situation at the scene in complete detail.

By the time he finished, the scene had fallen completely silent!

Thinking that the fourth of the Four Tigers of Beitang had actually been beaten to death by his own subordinates, everyone in the Mercedes commercial vehicle felt a strong chill rise through their bodies!

Once on the battlefield, they were brothers, comrades, people who could entrust their backs to each other! Yet these people had engaged in fratricide!

Wanyan Zhengyong’s eyes were terrifyingly gloomy: “To think such a thing could happen within my Yuanwei Gang. Those ransomed Beitang members, according to gang rules, those who kill each other shall all be executed without exception.”

This made Wanyan Huazhong shudder!

This decision meant that all of Beitang’s elite combat power had perished, and it also meant that all of Wanyan Huazhong’s years of painstaking efforts had completely gone down the drain!

He didn’t hate his father. He knew that no matter who it was, as long as they sat in that position, they would make the same decision! Beitang’s fratricide made even him, the young gang leader, feel a chill down his spine!

Wanyan Huazhong looked at that proud figure outside the window, his eyes flashing with crazy hatred!

If not for him, how would Ye Binglan have been taken away?

If not for him, how would he have suffered defeat before even achieving success?

If not for him, how would he have been ordered to reclaim wasteland in that harsh land for a year?

If not for him, how would Beitang have done something as chilling as fratricide?

The culprit behind all of this was Su Rui!

It was him who made him lose all face! It was him who caused the deaths of forty-four Beitang brothers! He didn’t kill Boren, but Boren died because of him!

Everyone in the vehicle looked at Su Rui in unison, their gazes extremely complex.

Old Tian had once thought that Su Rui used a special method to fight against the forty-four members of Beitang, but he absolutely never imagined it would be this kind of method! It simply couldn’t be described with just the word “cruel”!

Thinking about how the third brother had been grabbed by the neck by Su Rui and thrown to death from the sixth floor, the temperature in the vehicle seemed to drop several degrees!

After a long while, Wanyan Zhengyong finally uttered a sentence: “If this person doesn’t die, we cannot capture Ninghai. At any cost, eliminate him!”
