As for the remaining four Helmsmen?
Of course, I would have to use coercive measures. They wouldn't go to my He Bei Zong Duo, but they would still return to Hui Wang's Anhui Headquarters. By that time, I would be in cahoots with Hui Wang, and all the little brothers in Anhui would be at my disposal for relocation. How could those four refuse? They wouldn't escape unscathed!
Now, don't report this to Du Zong, alright?
I instructed Yue Qing, who shot me a glance filled with disdain. But after returning home, Du Tao called me.
Haha! Xiang Dong, I heard you wrote a passionate piece that lambasted me thoroughly.
Damn it!
I glared at Yue Qing, who was flipping through a magazine beside me. That little brat must have snitched! But Yue Qing didn't even look my way, engrossed in her magazine. I really wanted to strangle her; I truly did.
Uh, Du Zong, I'm really in a bind here; please forgive me.
I chuckled, knowing it wasn't good for Du Tao to find out about this situation, but it wasn't too serious either. After all, I was working for him, and everything was aimed at achieving his goals. If Du Tao couldn't handle something so trivial, he didn't deserve to be the general manager of Tian Ye Group.
What’s there to forgive? I think your method is quite clever. You should know that most people wouldn't come up with such an interesting approach. It seems this tactic of yours can win everyone over. Choosing you for this task was indeed a wise decision on my part.
Du Tao laughed, and there was no hint of anger in his tone.
What he said was true; if it were someone else, they wouldn't dare to pull off such bold and shameless actions. But without the guts to try something unconventional, it would be hard to deal with seasoned players like Hui Wang.
Thank you for the compliment, Du Zong. I'm just thinking of the company’s best interests; I'm glad you understand.
I said with a smile and chatted with Du Tao for a bit before hanging up. After the call ended, I looked at Yue Qing. This was the first time Du Tao had called me during this period, and I knew Yue Qing would definitely report my situation to him.
However, since leaving Hui Wang's place, I hadn't seen Yue Qing make any calls or even fiddle with her phone. How did she report back?
If you're going to do something, don't be afraid of being found out. Du Zong isn't that petty; you can rest assured.
Seeing me staring at her, Yue Qing spoke up sincerely.
You seem to admire Du Zong and know him well; is he your idol?
I asked with a smile while looking at Yue Qing. I knew nothing about Du Tao—the man who had killed my father-in-law—and I doubted Yue Qing would tell me how she reported my information to him; it wouldn’t make sense anyway.
It might be better to learn about Du Tao from Yue Qing since he would eventually become my opponent.
Yes, that's right. What’s up?
Yue Qing admitted calmly as if she saw nothing wrong with it.
Can you tell me more about Du Zong? He seems so magnanimous; he must not be an ordinary person, right?
I asked with a smile. After hearing this, Yue Qing smiled back at me and said lightly: Du Zong is a true man; he is a great Heroic Figure.
Oh? How so?
I asked with a grin, but Yue Qing fell silent.
A Heroic Figure?
Typically associated traits of a Heroic Figure include being cold-hearted and ruthless in pursuit of their goals. One must admit that those who can be called Heroic Figures possess charisma in life—especially towards women.
Women find them manly, but liking a Heroic Figure is undoubtedly a risky affair.
Today’s dealings with Hui Wang went smoothly; the next steps shouldn't be too difficult for me either. The most important thing now is what the situation is like over at Linna's side.
If Linna doesn't handle things well on her end and my situation progresses too quickly, then this matter will truly follow the plan I made with Qing Gang, forcing them to rebel and then eliminating them.
I called Zheng Yu. I couldn't ask directly because Yue Qing was always watching me, but I could ask indirectly.
"How's everything going?" I inquired when I reached Zheng Yu. He naturally understood what I was asking about.
"It's all taken care of. I was just about to inform you; your girlfriend's situation has been smoothed over," Zheng Yu told me.
"Really? That's great! I knew Linna was capable!"
"Will she come looking for me?" I asked, meaning whether Hongmen would come to find me.
"She might. Today she mentioned that she would come to see you tomorrow. Just lay low and do what you need to do," Zheng Yu replied. His words were quite clear; tomorrow, people from Hongmen would be in position, and he implied that I should continue with my plans with Qing Gang. At the critical moment, someone would show up.
"Is that true? I have something big happening tomorrow; she better not complicate things!" I hurriedly said, essentially confirming with Zheng Yu whether Hongmen would indeed be ready.
"That's not for me to say," Zheng Yu chuckled. I understood his implication: they would definitely be ready!
The next day, Hui Wang gathered the other four Helmsman at the largest and most luxurious hotel in Anhui. They often met up to discuss the current situation and occasionally brainstorm business ideas.
That night, Hui Wang had booked a private room at the hotel for their meeting. I waited for everyone to arrive.
By six o'clock, everyone was there. I could hear the noise from the next room; they seemed happy, but I wondered if they would still feel the same once they saw me.
I stepped out with Yue Qing and Liu Sen, making my way to the door.
Bang!
Without any unnecessary words, I kicked the door open!
I made a grand entrance!
The room fell silent instantly as everyone turned to look at me.
"Xiang Dong?"
Lao Liu stared at me in disbelief, as did the others. Just a week ago, I had been one of them, celebrating together as part of their new rising force, the Helmsman. But since entering the Enforcement Hall a few days ago, everything had changed; they wouldn't even answer my calls.
"Hello everyone, long time no see!" I smiled as I entered the room and pulled out a chair to sit down. The expressions on their faces were anything but pleasant.
"Oh, it’s been a while, Xiang Laodi. I heard you entered the Enforcement Hall a couple of days ago? You're still in your observation period, right? It’s not appropriate for you to be out and about right now; you’d better stay home for a while," Lao Liu said with a grin. To them, it seemed like I was still under observation.
"Are you worried that my presence here might drag you down?" I sneered, raising an eyebrow at Lao Liu. That was their real concern.
Bang!
Suddenly, someone slammed the table. It was Lao Hu, the Helmsman from He Nan Province.
“Xiang Dong! Don’t be ungrateful! The Enforcement Hall has already set their sights on you. Don’t drag us down with you! Get out of here, or I swear I’ll throw you out myself!”
Lao Hu was notorious for his bad temper.
But I knew this was just a facade. If he were truly ruthless, would he still be bullied by the Qing Gang? He would have quit long ago!
I didn’t believe him. I smiled calmly and said that Lao Hu had a good relationship with Old Wang, and this was Old Wang’s territory. He thought he could command Old Wang’s men to throw me out.
But could he?
“Old Wang, what are you waiting for? Throw him out!” Lao Hu shouted at Old Wang.
Yet Old Wang ignored him, smiling as he looked at me and asked, “Xiang Lao Da, do you want me to take care of him?”
Oh?
I suddenly became interested; this could be entertaining.
“Make it spectacular,” I said, crossing my legs. Everyone stared in disbelief, probably wondering why Old Wang was acting like my subordinate.
After all, I held the knife that could take down Old Wang!
“Bring him in! Beat him into a pulp!” Old Wang commanded loudly. Instantly, several of his little brothers rushed in from outside, all arranged by Old Wang beforehand.
Of course, these Helmsmen had their own followers as well, but it didn’t matter. This was Old Wang’s territory; no matter how many men they brought, could they outnumber Old Wang’s?
Old Wang’s actions were undoubtedly meant to show his loyalty to me. He wasn’t a fool; since he had no other choice but to follow my path, he would certainly want to do it well.
This is reality!
