Li Chengxing returned to the Fu Bang headquarters with his n, dejected, and found the Gang Leader, Li Wenyuan.
Li Chengxing was Li Wenyuan's own nephew, which granted him a high status in Fu Bang. This relationship also fostered his arrogant and domineering nature. Having suffered a loss at Ye Qing's hands, he could hardly swallow his pride and rushed back to seek his uncle Li Wenyuan's help in exacting revenge.
After listening to Li Chengxing's account of the incident at Tian Sheng, Li Wenyuan's brow furrowed, and he fell silent.
"Uncle, that Ye guy didn't even take our Fu Bang seriously, and even told
to get lost. If this spreads, how are we supposed to hold our heads high in Shenchuan City? Who knows how many people are laughing at us now!" Li Chengxing said indignantly, "Uncle, we must take back our respect, otherwise more people will think they can step on Fu Bang in the future!"
Li Wenyuan ignored Li Chengxing and remained silent for a good while before suddenly asking, "Was it your n who initiated the fight?"
"Uh…" Li Chengxing paused, lowering his voice, "Uncle, you didn't see just how arrogant that Ye Qing was. If you had seen, you definitely would have been upset too. He completely disregarded , and my brothers have a good relationship with . Seeing him insult
like that, they just couldn't stand it!"
"When an elder speaks, what business do the younger ones have interrupting!" Li Wenyuan glared at him and said, "Where are those n who started the fight?
"Uncle, they were just trying to help
save face. Please don't be hard on them. When we do things outside, it's all about representing Fu Bang's face. That Ye guy didn't give
any respect, so it's normal for them to be impulsive."
"Enough with the nonsense, call them in for !" Li Wenyuan commanded sternly, "As mbers of Fu Bang, they have no discipline at all. Allowing the situation to escalate like this, if they are not taught a lesson, will not the others beneath beco even less disciplined?"
Seeing the dark expression on Li Wenyuan's face, Li Chengxing knew he couldn't change his mind and could only turn to leave reluctantly. Less than two minutes later, he hurried back and said, "Uncle, those guys are gone, did that Ye guy kidnap them?"
"What would Ye Qing want with them?" Li Wenyuan shot him a look and asked, "What do you an they are gone?"
"I don't know either," said Li Chengxing. "I only found out they were missing when I went to ask for them just now; they didn't co back with us."
"What?" Li Wenyuan's expression changed dramatically as he suddenly stood up and ordered sternly, "Send soone to find them now!"
Li Chengxing said in a low voice, "Uncle, is that really necessary? Why not just wait for them to co back and then we can talk?"
"You don't know a thing!" Li Wenyuan exploded, "Find them and bring them back imdiately, hurry up!"
Li Chengxing, not understanding why Li Wenyuan had suddenly beco incredibly angry, could only leave to search. After nearly an hour of commotion, he still couldn't find those people and ca back empty-handed.
"How could these people just disappear?" Li Chengxing was puzzled and said, "Uncle, I'm sure they were taken by that Ye guy, hidden away. He's not a good person, he must be holding a grudge and wants to get back at my brothers. Uncle, why don't you send so n with
to raid Ye Qing's place? I'm sure my brothers are over there!"
"Shut your mouth, you useless fool!" Li Wenyuan's face turned icy, "You've been betrayed by your brothers, and you still don't get it?"
"Betrayed? Who betrayed ?" Li Chengxing was astonished.
"Who in Fu Bang doesn't know the rules, who doesn't know how things are done?" Li Wenyuan said gravely, "The fight started without the boss even saying a word, how is that any different from the street thugs outside? Your n, they are long-ti mbers of Fu Bang, and they understand the rules. Given the situation tonight, with Zhao Chengshuang there, a fight shouldn't have started.
But just because those few acted first, the fight broke out. Don't you see? Tonight's brawl was deliberately instigated by your n!"
Li Chengxing was stunned, and after so silence, he finally understood and slamd his fist on the table, angrily exclaiming, "These bastards, what exactly are they trying to do?"
"Do I even need to say it? Obviously, soone wants you to clash with that Ye guy!" Li Wenyuan frowned deeply and spoke seriously, "This way, our Fu Bang will have a feud with Ye, and consequently, we'll be at odds with Zhao Chengshuang and Li Lianshan as well. The person lurking behind the scenes is the biggest winner!"
Li Chengxing looked at Li Wenyuan, "Uncle, who exactly is the bastard that's setting us up?"
Li Wenyuan said, "There are only two possible suspects, either the Tianqing Gang or the Fierce Tiger Gang."
"Tianqing Gang?" Li Chengxing frowned. Like Fierce Tiger Gang and Fu Bang, Tianqing Gang was one of the three big gangs in Shenchuan City.
When the three gangs stood in a triad, there was so semblance of peace among them. Now that the Fierce Tiger Gang has collapsed, Fu Bang and Tianqing Gang are in complete opposition. If you say Tianqing Gang did this, that's indeed possible.
"It wouldn't be the Fierce Tiger Gang, right?" Li Chengxing said, "The Fierce Tiger Gang is too busy dealing with its own issues to mind external matters."
"On the contrary, the Fierce Tiger Gang is the most suspect!" Li Wenyuan shook his head and said, "Tonight, Ye Qing and Zhao Chengshuang forced the Fierce Tiger Gang to give up the managent rights of these twelve venues. How could the Fierce Tiger Gang not be furious?
Although they dare not act openly, they would definitely stir trouble behind the scenes to prevent Ye Qing from obtaining these venues so easily. Those brothers of yours, I suspect, were nine tis out of ten bought by Pi Junchao!"
If Pi Junchao were here, he would certainly be struck by Li Wenyuan's cunning and deep calculations, almost exactly as he said. Those brothers of Li Chengxing were indeed bought by him, inciting tonight's big battle and contributing to the grudge between Fu Bang and the alliance of Ye Qing, Zhao Chengshuang, and Li Lianshan.
"That bastard Pi Junchao, with the Fierce Tiger Gang almost gone, he still dares to pull tricks behind our backs!" Li Chengxing said furiously, "Uncle, shall I send soone to wipe out his Fierce Tiger Gang?"
"Shut your mouth!" Li Wenyuan glared at Li Chengxing and said, "The Fierce Tiger Gang is like a centipede, dead but not stiff. No matter who it is, trying to take them down will cost a great deal. If we strike first, we'll definitely sustain heavy losses of vital energy, and Tianqing Gang will imdiately co to swallow us up!"
Li Chengxing jumped in fright and quickly said, "Then let's not deal with them for now, and let Tianqing Gang make the first move."
"They won't make a move either!
