Ning Chuan's death, although the new boss of Tian Ye Group had never been fond of him, still prompted a thorough investigation into the matter. After all, Ning Chuan was a high-ranking official within Tian Ye Group, and this was a matter of face for the organization.
As Ning Chuan's deputy, Chen Ming successfully took charge of the investigation into his death and quickly arranged for two scapegoats. Within just a few days, he wrapped up the case, and that was that.
With Ning Chuan's demise, the Kyoto Tian Ye Group underwent a dramatic transformation. Chen Ming became the acting leader, which indicated that those above him did not truly want him in that position.
Geng Kun fled as soon as news of Ning Chuan's death spread. Without Ning Chuan to protect him, he knew he was finished; his choice to escape was indeed wise.
However, this left Wu Hai in a difficult position. Geng Kun did not inform Wu Hai before his departure, and Chen Ming found an excuse to expel Wu Hai from Tian Ye Group, confiscating all of his assets in the process. It goes without saying that Chen Ming's actions were illegal and forceful; Wu Hai had no means to resist and dared not report it to the authorities.
As the big winner in this scheme, I had finally become the boss of Kyoto South District! I took over Liu Haoran's position, but Liu Haoran was not demoted; he replaced the Northern District Boss, who was likely another of Ning Chuan's subordinates and had been dealt with by Chen Ming under some pretext.
Of course, Cao Minghui from Vermilion Bird Hall was Liu Haoran's only reliable ally, and he accompanied him to North District. Zheng Yu took over Geng Kun's position and became the head of Azure Dragon Hall.
As for Zheng Yu's identity, it remained unknown. Although I was unaware of his background, he had no connection to this betrayal incident and genuinely helped me, so I didn't press further.
Wan Fei replaced Wu Hai and became the head of Xuanwu Hall.
I continued to lead my subordinates from White Tiger Hall and temporarily filled in for Liu Sen at Vermilion Bird Hall. Now, not only was I the South District Boss, but I also held leadership over both White Tiger Hall and Vermilion Bird Hall.
I, Xiang Dong, had risen to become the number one figure in Kyoto South District! A true social leader!
A month later.
With the name of Tian Ye Group backing me up, my Security Company continued to expand. My subordinates—essentially security personnel—were increasing in number, and business was booming.
Since I let Xiao Dao go, he had been hiding away with little news about him. However, I knew that Chen Ming had sent people searching for Xiao Dao's whereabouts. I understood that Chen Ming would not let Xiao Dao off easily because I held information that Xiao Dao also possessed; he would not allow Xiao Dao to live freely. Moreover, it seemed that Chen Ming had captured Xiao Dao’s girlfriend to coerce him into submission. Yet Xiao Dao still hadn’t surfaced; he remained on the run.
During this month, I encountered several troubles as well. Chen Ming repeatedly tested my limits since I held evidence that could lead us both to destruction. He knew I didn’t want to die either; thus he sought to suppress me without pushing too hard for fear of provoking a strong backlash.
"Chen Ming," I said when I called him up. "What do you mean by letting Liu Haoran open another Security Company? You know how much profit I contribute to the group each month; are you trying to divide my share?"
Just yesterday, North District opened a Security Company too, with my old rival Liu Haoran and Cao Minghui at the helm! They had just started their company and were already poaching my clients. My biggest customer was snatched away immediately! Although they paid a hefty sum initially, they now rejected my Security Company’s services entirely.
In simple terms: they didn’t want my money anymore and didn’t need my security personnel either; there would be no further collaboration.
I knew this was Chen Ming’s doing! With him backing them up, they dared to refuse cooperation with me!
"Oh Xiang Dong," Chen Ming replied smoothly. "What do you mean by that? It’s not like I have any say in it. The higher-ups see that our Security Company is doing well and think having two companies is fine; this decision isn’t mine."
The higher-ups decided? Well then! Since they decided on two companies, there would surely be competition involved. How do those above view competition between their own companies?
I asked Chen Ming about it. He chuckled and said, "I really don’t know; should I ask them for you?"
No need to ask; let reality speak for itself.
With that thought in mind, I hung up the phone.
"What’s wrong Dong Ge? Is Chen Ming ignoring you?" This matter couldn’t just end here. Hai openly rejected cooperation with our company and turned to Liu Haoran’s firm; this set a precedent. If we didn’t respond adequately, all our clients would shift their business over there.
Zheng Yu finished his call and immediately said, "That's right. The only reason those unscrupulous customers buy from my Security Company is because of the powerful Tian Ye Group.
Now that Chen Duo is personally backing the Security Company, do they really want to support me and offend Chen Duo?
Logically speaking, that would be impossible.
But why the hell should I play by the rules?
Let’s go! Bring the brothers; we’re heading to the Hai Family Enterprise Group!
With that, I gathered my crew of over a hundred and left the Security Company.
I couldn’t afford to back down in this situation; if I did, it would mean I was accepting Chen Ming’s attempt to weaken my power!
And that was out of the question!
I, Xiang Dong, am not someone to be easily bullied! You think you can test my limits, Chen Ming? I’ll show you what happens when I lose it!
The Hai Family Enterprise Group is also located in the Kyoto South District, not too far from my Security Company. I drove my car with about a hundred of my brothers following behind—some in cabs, others in company vehicles—creating quite a scene.
When we arrived at the entrance of the Hai Family Enterprise Group, I was suddenly stopped by a security guard.
“Hey! What are you doing? This is the Cheng Group headquarters; no outsiders allowed!”
The guard was quite arrogant!
It was obvious he was one of Liu Haoran’s men. Our Security Company wasn’t completely idle; we did take money from them and would send a few guards to their company as a symbolic gesture.
Outsiders? Who do you think you’re calling an outsider? Can’t you see who this is? This is Xiang Dong, the boss of Kyoto South District! Tell your boss to come out!
Zheng Yu pointed at the guard and shouted, but Xiao Bao An just looked at him disdainfully. Clearly, he knew my identity and had been told by Liu Haoran and others not to fear me.
So what if you’re not afraid?
Smack!
I stepped forward and slapped him hard across the face!
Xiao Bao An was stunned! He pointed at me and said, “I’m telling you, this is Tian Ye Group’s territory! My boss is—”
“Charge in and smash everything!” I shouted loudly!
I don’t care who your boss is; it doesn’t matter to me!
None of my brothers dared disobey my orders! With a single command, they surged into the Cheng Group like a tidal wave!
It was time to smash things up!
You think you can start a Security Company to replace me, Chen Ming?
I have no benefits, I can't support a bunch of underlings, and I can't strengthen my own power? Is it really that simple? With you steering the ship, what does it matter? I'll just crash the party! If you don't like it, let's go at it! Let's make this a big deal! Let's go down together!
I wonder if you dare!
What are you doing? What do you think you're doing? Xiang Dong, you're also part of Tian Ye Group. Our company is recognized by the organization! Do you really think they'll be pleased with your actions?
While my underlings were causing chaos, I stood outside soaking up the sun when a Lesser Boss rushed out to talk to me.
What’s there to talk about?
He can do whatever he wants; just don’t bother me, or I’ll take him down too.
I shot him a cold glance. Very few knew about my dealings with Chen Ming, but today many would likely catch on. Chen Ming couldn’t control me.
You’re being so rebellious?
The Lesser Boss looked shocked. What? His words irritated me.
Smash him.
I pointed at the Lesser Boss, and immediately my underlings surged forward, grabbing him and starting to beat him up!
How dare he call me rebellious? He really has some guts!
Just after we dealt with that Lesser Boss, another young man in a suit burst out of the company. This guy was Hai; I recognized him.
I had spoken to him when he first joined Liu Haoran's company. What did this guy have to say?
Sorry, Xiang Zong, good birds choose good trees to perch on. You should open your eyes and not offend people you shouldn’t. That’s it; consider my previous investments a small gift. Let’s not keep in touch anymore.
I didn’t say a word.
Hai was a schemer; it was normal for him to say such things to someone like me. After all, he thought clinging to Chen Ming's leg was the safest bet. He believed that with Chen Ming backing him, no one would dare touch him. He could never imagine I would dare to cause trouble even with Chen Ming's protection.
In reality, many things are not as simple as they seem. Am I really that easy to mess with? Chen Ming is just shooting himself in the foot!
Xiang Zong, what are you doing? You know my company is collaborating with North District and Haoming Company, right? That’s also under your Tian Ye Group! You should know that Haoming Company has powerful backing! Otherwise, why would I switch over?
Hai looked nervous, his merchant facade showing through. I smiled.
So what? Don’t say anything more. I'm here to cause chaos today. Call Liu Haoran or your Security Company and see if they can resolve this.
I told Hai that my high-profile entrance into his company was meant to show him who’s really in charge!
As long as I remain strong! Chen Ming has no way to deal with me. Let’s see who dares refuse to cooperate with me, Xiang Dong, and switch over to Liu Haoran! Who else would dare switch over to Liu Haoran!
