Chapter Fifteen: The Crisis of Sanhutang
In Hong Tianhu's study upstairs, Hong Tianhu frowned and lowered his head in silence. Xin Yi and Huang Mang sat on the chairs opposite him.
"Brother, what on earth do you mean? And what on earth do you want to say to us?" Huang Mang was impatient. Seeing that Hong Tianhu didn't speak for a long time, he asked anxiously.
"Third brother, don't worry, I have something to say to Brother Xin," Hong Tianhu raised his head, stared at Xin Yi who was still expressionless and said, "Brother Xin, Sanhu Hall needs your help!" Hong Tianhu is worthy of being a general.
Demeanor, he speaks so straightforwardly from the first moment he opens his mouth.
"Master, please speak frankly. As long as Xin Yi can do his best, he will do his best."
"Good!" Hong Tianhu praised and continued: "Sanhutang is in trouble now. Maybe many people will think that Sanhutang has already unified the underworld in Longchuan. In fact, this is not the case. There has been a force in Longchuan in recent years.
When competing with Sanhutang, I never paid attention to him in the past few years. It was not until the past two years that this force grew rapidly and could almost compete with Sanhutang, and it attracted my attention. However, it was already too late.
Already..."
"Brother, you are talking about Lu Fei's gang, right? How can those shrimp soldiers and crab generals compete with our Three Tiger Hall? Are you too unfounded?" Huang Mang interrupted Hong Tianhu's words disapprovingly.
"Third brother, I blame me for not telling you earlier. The business of Sanhutang has not been very good at all in recent years. The income of the brothers is still at the same level as a few years ago. In fact... there are already many Lu Lu in Sanhutang now.
The one who flies."
"Ah?! Brother, are you serious?! Which bastard dares to eat him inside and out? I'm going to kill him right now!" Veins popped up on Huang Mang's forehead.
"Third brother, don't be impulsive. If you go and kill all these people now, there won't be many people left in Sanhu Hall."
"Ah? So serious? Isn't it?" Huang Mang had an expression of disbelief.
"The second child...actually has been Lu Fei's for a long time." At this point, Hong Tianhu's tone revealed the sadness of a hero's end. Yes, his brother, the second boss of Sanhu Hall, actually betrayed him.
For Hong Tianhu, this is indeed a great sadness.
"Bang" Huang Mang punched the solid wood desk, and his pen, ink, paper and inkstone bounced all over the floor, "When did this happen?! Brother, how did you know?" Huang Mang was obviously extremely angry, completely losing his temper with what he had just said.
Xin Yi played calmly in the match.
"I have arranged my own people around Lu Fei. Okay, third brother, you sit down and listen to what Brother Xin and I have to say."
It turns out that when Hong Tianhu discovered Lu Fei's rapid growth two years ago, he arranged for a capable person to be by Lu Fei's side. The news came back from the inside saying that Lu Fei was not only able to thrive in the underworld, but he was also able to control the wind and rain in the white industry. It seemed that
He has very strong support behind him, and Lu Fei has not been involved in Sanhutang's industry, so Hong Tianhu has never touched him.
Lu Fei was actually just a small gangster who made his fortune by relying on drugs. In the early years, he was completely unknown in Longchuan. He belonged to the lowest level of the underworld. No one would care about him. But just two years ago,
Lu Fei suddenly started to build his own team and turned his drug business into a one-stop industrial chain of production and sales. At first, he just sold it secretly in the premises of Sanhutang. Because Hong Tianhu had already set the rules, he
The brothers of Sanhutang were not allowed to touch things that would harm the country and the people. Although they could not touch them, it did not mean that there would be no market demand, so they gave Lu Fei an opportunity. Later, with the influence of Lu Fei,
As he grew stronger, he began to sell openly in stores affiliated with Sanhutang. Even so, he did not conflict with Sanhutang, and they lived in peace with each other.
After the people sent by Hong Tianhu successfully infiltrated Lu Fei, Hong Tianhu got a lot of shocking news. Lu Fei had connections in the province and was said to be a senior official in the province, so his criminal path was basically a green light.
Even if it is a serious crime such as drug production and trafficking, what is even more shocking is that Lu Fei has bribed many people in Sanhutang in recent years, including Yin Xinli, the second boss of Sanhutang.
Hong Tianhu looked at Lu Fei's power with admiration, and understood that Lu Fei had always adopted the cannibalization strategy, eating in small bites and infiltrating in small steps. This is a very scheming opponent. It seems that his purpose is
Hong Tianhu himself doesn't care about the entire Longchuan underworld, or more likely the entire Binhai Province underworld. What he is afraid of is that after the collapse of Sanhutang, the still loyal brotherhoods will no longer have a foothold.
Recently, Hong Tianhu received news that Lu Fei wanted to take advantage of Hong Tianhu's 60th birthday to unite with the gangsters in several nearby areas to wipe out Sanhutang in one fell swoop. However, despite receiving the news, Hong Tianhu was still at a loss to do anything.
, the chance of winning in a head-on fight is very slim. Even if all the brothers in Sanhu Hall are still loyal, they are no match for the forces united by several regions. What's more, many people in Sanhu Hall are now facing defection.
"Then what do you need me to do?" Xin Yi asked after hearing Hong Tianhu explain the situation.
"I think with your skills, combined with the third brother and the trustworthy brothers below, we should be able to defeat Lu Fei's forces in every aspect. By then, he will be too busy to take care of himself and will have no time to think about other things."
"Then why not just kill him?" Huang Mang said beside him.
"I have thought about it this way, but first of all, Lu Fei is never far away from anyone. Even when he is sleeping, there are always people on duty, and the people around him are armed with guns, so it is difficult to attack. Also, Lu Fei is not the real boss at all.
The real boss is the person behind him. Even if he is killed, someone will take his place immediately, so it doesn’t make much sense." Hong Tianhu said.
Xin Yi has been thinking, and he also thought of Huang Mang's proposal. With his ability, not to mention Lu Fei, even if he is ten times stronger than Lu Fei's defense ability, he is sure of success, but as Hong Tianhu said, doing this
It doesn't mean much, besides, he doesn't want to kill people at every turn, he just performs tasks.
"Master, can the people you arrange around Lu Fei report his whereabouts at any time?" Xin Yi, who had been pondering for a long time, finally asked.
"I'm not sure about this. Although he can know it, he doesn't have the opportunity to report it at any time. I heard from him that Lu Fei has strict control over the people around him. What does Brother Xin want to do?"
"I think only by finding the person behind Lu Fei can the crisis be truly resolved."
"That's the truth, but it's difficult."
"Do you think this will work?..." Xin Yi said his countermeasures.
…
An hour later, Hong Tianhu and Huang Mang sent Xin Yi downstairs. Hong Tianhu said heartily: "Brother Xin! On behalf of all the brothers in Sanhu Hall, thank you!"
"The eldest master is very polite. I only hope that all the three tiger cousins in the future will be as upright and bright as the eldest master and the third master. Then I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of Longchuan."
"Hahaha……"
"Hahaha……"
Both sides laughed heartily.
Hong Tianhu and Huang Mang kept Xin Yi in the car. When the car drove out of the heavily guarded manor in Sanhutang, Xin Yi turned back and glanced at this manor, which is strong on the outside and capable on the inside. It turns out that every corner of the world is everywhere at every moment.
The war between the weak and the strong is going on all the time.
"Where are we going now?" Li Jie drove the car, turned to look at Xin Yi, and asked.
"Let's go home." Xin Yi replied naturally.
"Yes." Li Jie replied softly, then turned to look at Xin Yi, her eyes full of tenderness and happiness.
"By the way, Li Jie, we have to do some things in the past two days. Maybe I need your help, okay?" Thinking of the incident at Sanhutang, Xin Yi asked Li Jie for his opinion.
"Of course, do we still need to be polite to each other?" Li Jie glared at Xin Yi angrily.
"Haha, that's true."
"What did you talk about? Can you tell me about it?"
So Xin Yi simply stated the situation of Sanhutang and the current crisis. After listening, Li Jie frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Why do you spare no effort to help Sanhutang like this?"
"Although I still don't know who the enemy who killed my parents is, but judging from my grandfather's refusal to tell me for so many years, this enemy must be quite powerful. Therefore, we also need to have some power of our own.
This will give you a better chance of winning if you take action in the future.”
"Are you sure that if you helped Sanhutang this time, they will help you in the future?"
"Judging from the character of Hong Tianhu and Huang Mang, they are not ungrateful people. I think they will help."
"Well, then I'll listen to you."
…
After buying some daily necessities and necessities, Xin Yi and Li Jie drove back to the farm. Li Jie cooked a few dishes. During the meal, Li Jie opened another bottle of wine. The two drank and chatted in the room.
It was a happy place inside. Xin Yi was filled with emotion, this is the life she wants, a warm room, a loving lover, and home-cooked meals. If there are two kind old people and lively and lovely children, then this kind of scene will be perfect.
It's perfect, this is the life that normal people live.
After dinner, Li Jie pushed Xin Yi into the bathroom to take a shower, saying that she would clean up the dishes and chopsticks. She looked at Li Jie acting like a housewife, and after drinking a little wine in the evening, her delicate little face was as red as a flower.
Xin Yi's heart trembled, and some bad nerve began to trouble her. As soon as Li Jie turned around, Xin Yi hugged her from behind.
"Let's wash together..." Xin Yi rubbed her chin on Li Jie's shoulder, the hot breath from her mouth caressed her ears, and her hands began to move up.
"You... bad guy..." Li Jie murmured weakly, but his breathing was already out of rhythm.
Chapter completed!
