Chapter 23 Does this count as acting on behalf of Heaven?
Chapter 23 Does this count as acting on behalf of Heaven?
Don't be fooled by the fact that Wang Hu follows Lei Tang around all day and seems to have nothing else to do.
But in fact.
Wang Hu's territory was the wealthiest among these boxers. However, Lei Tang arranged for several scholars to help Wang Hu manage the business on his territory.
In other words.
In fact, Wang Hu doesn't need to do anything. Even if he sleeps every day, he will still get paid, and he will get the most among all the boxers under Lei Tang.
Whenever there's an opportunity to make money or rise in rank, Lei Tang always thinks of Wang Hu first, while everyone else has to take a backseat.
Listening to Mei Yongning's description.
Ye Tian's smile grew even wider.
"With Lei Tang showing such favoritism, won't the other boxers have any objections?"
"Of course, there are objections."
Still not understanding Ye Tian's meaning, Mei Yongning still told him what she knew.
"But after all, the other party is Lei Tang's 'own son,' so what use are other people's opinions?"
When he mentioned his biological son, Mei Yongning emphasized the words.
To take care of someone to this extent, isn't that like having a biological son?
"Haha, if Wang Hu is gone, will the other boxers still be able to hold back?"
Ye Tian smiled, but his words were quite intriguing.
At this moment, Mei Yongning finally understood what Ye Tian was planning to do: instead of targeting Lei Tang, he was targeting Wang Hu.
But after a moment of surprise, Mei Yongning began to analyze the various possibilities that would arise without Wang Hu.
"If Wang Hu is gone, the boxers under Lei Tang's command will probably all become restless. After all, Wang Hu's territory is the richest, and they can't possibly not want a share of the profits."
Despite their seemingly harmonious appearance, they are absolutely loyal to Lei Tang.
That's because they haven't encountered any problems yet.
Everything he said was directed at his subordinates. Anyone who's been in a gang for a long time is always thinking about making money.
If Lei Tang dared to pick out another "favorite son" to cultivate at that time, it would only cause greater dissatisfaction. If one "favorite son" is gone and another one appears, wouldn't this mean that these people would never have a chance to rise in the world?
If he were to cause discontent among all his subordinates, then Lei Tang could forget about being the boss.
At that time, Lei Tang was too busy managing his subordinates to have any time to care about Ye Tian.
What is Wang Hu's personality like?
His eyes gleamed with a sharp light.
Ye Tian didn't know much about Wang Hu, having only fought him once before. Wang Hu's skills were decent, but nothing special. He appeared honest and simple, but anyone who could reach this position would have died long ago.
"I don't know the specifics, but I've heard some rumors."
Having been in the Blackwater Gang for so many years, Mei Yongning couldn't possibly be completely unaware of anything.
"Wang Hu is known in private for being a womanizer. He almost never goes home and when he's not with Lei Tang, he spends all his time in brothels."
There are several brothels in Wang Hu's territory, and he might even try out brothels in other territories just for the novelty.
"Not only that, Wang Hu is ruthless in private and enjoys toying with women. Just from what I've heard, the number of women he has tortured and killed is no less than five."
Visiting brothels is one thing, but to commit torture and murder?
He really is a scumbag. He deserves to die. It's true what they say, you can't judge a book by its cover.
But nobody cares about this kind of thing, and Lei Tang won't care either.
Given Wang Hu's status, even if someone knew, they would probably only praise him for his genuine personality.
"Then would I be considered to be punishing evil and upholding justice on behalf of Heaven?"
"Whatever my elder brother says, that's what it is."
Mei Yongning was also quick to agree; although his eyes twitched as he listened, he still chimed in with a comment.
"Hahaha!"
Ye Tian simply waved his hand and smiled, seemingly unconcerned.
Now that we know where Wang Hu frequents, things become simple.
"Little Grass." A voice called out.
The little grass, still seemingly recovering from its earlier surprise, looked over with a blank expression and asked, "Huh?"
Fortunately, Ye Tian was already used to his dazed and silly appearance.
"We've got a job. Take out this Wang Hu, the one you just saw."
Ye Tian briefly described Wang Hu's appearance, then raised a finger.
"One hundred taels!"
"!!!"
Upon hearing about another opportunity to make money, Xiao Cao's eyes immediately lit up, and her previous timid demeanor vanished instantly.
"I'll go."
As if afraid that Ye Tian might change his mind, Xiao Cao quickly raised one hand.
"I've got it." Ye Tian hadn't finished speaking yet.
"When you do it, no one can find out, no one can see that it was you who did it, understand?"
"I see."
Scratching his head, Xiaocao was a little bewildered, as this was the first time he had dealt with something like this, unlike the last time he dealt with the venomous fangs.
But thinking of the hundred taels, Xiaocao nodded.
"I see."
"Mei Yongning will tell you Wang Hu's location later."
Having learned from the incident with the venomous fang, Mei Yongning would not underestimate Xiaocao just because of her thin and weak appearance.
The seemingly harmless little girl didn't hesitate at all when she pricked the venomous fang last time.
In fact, in terms of martial arts skills, Iron Fist and Ghost Foot are clearly more suitable. However, considering that this was an assassination, Ye Tian finally decided to entrust the matter to Xiao Cao.
After arranging this matter...
Ye Tian continued to focus on the issue of territory.
They planned to demolish one of their existing restaurants and rebuild a larger one to serve as a showcase for their property. However, building such a restaurant wasn't something that could be done on a whim, not to mention the various materials required.
Even if it's done manually, it's still a delicate task.
"Don't worry, brother, leave this to me."
As a local strongman who has lived in Linshui City for so many years, this little thing is no problem for Mei Yongning.
However, Mei Yongning thought of something else.
"By the way, brother, what should we name this newly built restaurant?"
"Golden Wind Pavilion!"
Clearly, Ye Tian had already come up with this name long ago.

After handing Wang Hu over to Xiao Cao, Ye Tian stopped paying attention to Wang Hu's matter.
Although he often frequented brothels, it wouldn't be easy to find out which brothel Wang Hu was in just a day or two; it would definitely take some time.
And during this period.
Ye Tian's territory became increasingly well-organized.
Similarly, there is another problem that worries Ye Tian.
"We're short-staffed!"
Ordinary members can be easily recruited, but talented people are not something that can be recruited so easily.
Walking alongside Ye Tian on the streets of his territory, Mei Yongning was filled with helplessness; he really had no way to solve this kind of problem.
"Um?"
Just then, Ye Tian, whose face was full of worry, suddenly noticed something, raised his eyebrows and stopped in his tracks.
He glanced sideways at the entrance of an alley.
There, Ye Tian heard a series of hurried footsteps approaching.
The number seems to be quite large.
Iron Fist and Ghost Foot immediately blocked Ye Tian's path, their expressions fierce.
"Big brother?"
"Don't worry."
Ye Tian had already seen them; they were a group of menacing people who seemed to have ill intentions.
Ye Tian wasn't worried. He waved his hand, interrupting Mei Yongning, who was about to say something.
