Chapter 1434 - 134: The Only One
A few days later, the entire city of Yanghe heard the news that the Qingyun Gang had joined the Revitalization Society. The generosity of the Qingyun Gang threw the entire underground organization into chaos. The former underground gang was the only gang where a hundred flowers bloomed. Of the nearly 300 people in the province, the Blood Moon was the strongest, while others like the Revitalization Association, Xingwu Gang, and Qingyun Gang were among the middle-ranked gangs, along with 56 powerful underground gangs and countless smaller gangs of thirty to forty people.
Now that the Revitalization Association has accepted the Qingyun Gang, they have 200 people. In the face of Blood Moon, there would be a voice. This is also the only underground organization in years in Xiang Province that can compete with Blood Moon. Blood Moon remained silent about this. It seemed unconcerned about the new Rejuvenation Society. Other underground gangs also began to fall into danger. Everyone feared that the Rejuvenation Society would swallow them to fight Blood Moon, and also worried that Blood Moon would swallow them to suppress the Rejuvenation.
At night, Zhong Baitao, who was busy with his business, headed home with Zhong Qing. After the two were separated by some distance, a red BMW sports car sped directly towards Zhong Baitao’s vehicle. Quickly, the BMW suddenly stopped. Zhong Baitao was stunned and rushed to hit the brakes. Zhong Qing pushed the door open and got out, cursing: "Who is he, blind? How is he driving?"
Four black sedans quickly gathered around the burning BMW. A dozen burly men in suits got out of the cars. The leading big guy respectfully opened the BMW’s door. A young man got out of the BMW. The person was Li Xiaoyu. Li Xiaoyu looked like a handsome young gentleman, opened his mouth at Zhong Qing, "It’s Zhong Qing from the Xingwu Gang!"
Zhong Qing carefully looked at Li Xiaoyu. Zhong Qing didn’t recognize Li Xiaoyu, but when he saw Li Xiaoyu’s flashy sports car and the crowd of a dozen people coming out with him, he must have some background. Zhong Qing couldn’t figure out Li Xiaoyu’s identity and didn’t dare to speak.
After Zhong Qing, Zhong Baitao immediately recognized Li Xiaoyu. Zhong Baitao looked at Li Xiaoyu strangely, "It’s Li Shao. I don’t know how Li Shao came to Yanghe? If Botao doesn’t treat Li Shaoshu well, Li Shaoshu will be punished. If Boss Li knows that Botao isn’t treating Li Shao well, it will be very difficult for him!"
Li Xiaoyu grinned, "Zhong Baitao, I came to find you. I can also tell you clearly that I want you to consider something!"
"Consider something? What’s the matter, Li Shao?" Zhong Botao looked at Li Xiaoyu in confusion.
"You should have heard that the Qingyun Gang attended the Revitalization Conference? Your Xingwu Gang, the Revitalization Association, and the Qingyun Gang are enemies! The two of them will come to deal with you! So, I think you can consider joining our Blood Moon. To your south is our Blood Moon, and to your east is the Revitalization Association. Choose one of them!"
Zhong Baitao didn’t speak, and Li Xiaoyu seemed to have anticipated Zhong Baitao’s reaction. He smiled and said, "You can come find me anytime when you’ve decided. I’ll be waiting for you in Sha City!"
Li Xiaoyu got back into the BMW and quickly left with his men. Zhong Qing came up intending to say something. Zhong Baitao’s face turned pale, and he reached out to stop Zhong Qing from speaking. "We’ll talk about it when we get back!"
They quickly returned home. After getting home, Zhong Baitao couldn’t suppress his anger. He threw all the cups on the table to the ground.
Zhong Qing stood behind Zhong Baitao. He was very worried, but seeing Zhong Baitao’s reaction, Zhong Qing sighed in relief and didn’t speak.
Zhong Baitao slammed the table hard, saying, "That second-generation ancestor, aside from a powerful father, what else is there to boast about? And what does he mean by telling me to choose another side? Is that how someone tries to persuade surrender? I want to show you how high someone’s posture can be? Want me to kneel down and beg him to let me join?"
There was a trace of a smile at the corner of Zhong Qing’s mouth, and then he said, "Sigh, big brother, Li Xiaoyu is right. None of us expected the Qingyun Gang to join the Revitalization Association. Now the Revitalization Society is like a wolf, and Xue Yue is like a tiger. Both sides want to restrain each other by fighting. If we don’t make a statement, we’re likely to be torn apart by both sides in turn!"
"So you agree with that?" Zhong Baitao turned to look at Zhong Qing. "At first, you agreed that Rong was a spy. Now it’s fine, the person we thought was a spy ran alone to the Victory Restaurant and killed Zuo’s father and son to avenge the mistress. And what about us who claim to be loyal and righteous? Sitting here doing nothing!"
Zhong Qing was unhappy: "Then what can I do? I didn’t expect Jiang Guangrong not to be a spy. Oh, brother, stop talking. The main culprit is the Qingyun Gang! It was Zuo Muyang who killed the old lady. The Rejuvenation Association was just an accomplice. If we can calm the brothers of the Xingwu Sect, then joining the enemy, isn’t that right?"
Zhong Baitao hesitated for a while, shaking his head and said: "No, no, I don’t know what to say. The other brothers in the gang definitely won’t agree. They will surely oppose it. No one will support it!"
Zhong Qing saw Zhong Baitao’s heart was moved and knew there was a chance. Zhong Qing stepped forward and continued to gently entice Zhong Baitao, "Brother, don’t forget your current situation. You are the leader of our Xingwu Gang. After a while, you will become the absolute leader of the Star Sky Gang. When you become the Leader, you should have the spirit of a Leader. We just stand in the ranks, not like the Qingyun Gang that can turn around and stab when the time is right. You’re the boss now. Who dares not to listen to you? That would be a rebellion. What’s there to keep from the rebels? You can take this opportunity to eliminate them, right?"
After a long silence, Zhong slowly said, "I’m thinking about it! I have to go out first."
"Very good!" Zhong Qing also knew that now was not the time to push Zhong Botao.
Zhong Baitao had just gone out when Zhong Qing’s phone rang. Zhong Qing extended his left hand and took out the phone. It was Wu Shang.
Zhong Qing hurried into the bathroom and made a call: "Hello, not yet!"
"Brother Qing, how are you?" Wu Shang’s sincere laughter came from the phone.
Zhong Qing looked respectfully: "It’s still rare. Today, Li Xiaoyu came to us, saying they wanted us to join Blood Moon!"
"Oh? What did Zhong Baitao think?"
"Haha, Li Xiaoyu’s attitude was very arrogant, which made my brother very annoyed with him. I believe, with my efforts, our Star Sky Gang won’t rely on Blood Moon, and eventually, we’ll play the least!"
"Very good, very good!" Wu Shang seemed very satisfied. "I’ll leave Xingwu Gang’s business to you. Brother Qing, when you help me complete it, I’ll give you a big reward!"
"Alright! Thank you very much!"
Zhong Qing hung up the phone, satisfied. Zhong Qing turned around and left the bathroom. After turning around, Zhong Qing suddenly found Zhong Baitao somehow standing at the bathroom door. At this moment, Zhong Baitao’s entire face was cold, his lips trembling, and his eyes staring at Zhong Qing.
Zhong Qing’s heart sank. It seems Zhong Botao has already heard his conversation with Wu Shang. Zhong Qing’s mouth twitched slightly, "Brother..."
"Dog bastard!" Zhong Botao let out a beastly roar, rushed towards Zhong Qing, grabbed Zhong Qing’s neck with his right hand, then lifted his right knee and slammed it into Zhong Qing’s abdomen.
Zhong Qingtong broke out in a cold sweat, and Zhong Botao reluctantly pressed Zhong Qing’s head into the sink with his left hand, reached into his pocket with his right hand, took out a gun, and forcefully hit Zhong Qing’s temple.
Zhong Baitao’s breathing became rapid, his entire body shaking with anger, Zhong Baitao shouted, "I never thought it would be you who betrayed the Mistress! You dog bastard, I will avenge the elder today. I’ll shoot you dead!"
