"audacious in the extreme!"
Inside the Hong Sheng Lian Tang, He Wenchang angrily slammed the teacup beside him onto the ground, smashing it to pieces.
He Wenchang wasn't angry that Yang Sheng killed Di Wei, but rather that Yang Sheng dared to kill Di Wei.
A difference of just one word can have vastly different meanings.
As the head of Hong Sheng Lian, He Wenchang has an extremely strong desire for control.
Whether it was the scheming Huang Wen or the ambitious Di Wei, they were both actually controlled by him through power struggles.
Diwei can die, and even Huang Wen and Yu Laoqiang can die.
But only if we let them die can they die, instead of dying suddenly and unexpectedly like they are now.
This gave He Wenchang a sudden sense of unease that he couldn't control.
"Old Ding, Uncle Wen and Uncle Qiang are here, and Yang Sheng is waiting outside too."
A younger brother cautiously entered to report.
He Wenchang frowned: "Did you capture Yang Sheng?"
The henchman quickly shook his head.
"No, he came by himself."
He Wenchang had just learned of Di Wei's death and ordered the men left behind in the gang to search for Yang Sheng, fearing that he had escaped.
But in reality, very few people actually dared to search for Yang Sheng.
That's a formidable man who killed three double-flower red sticks. Going to capture him? That's practically suicide.
He Wenchang frowned and gave a soft snort: "Bring him in."
A moment later, Huang Wen and Yu Laoqiang entered first, followed closely by Yang Sheng.
He Wenchang frowned slightly.
Because at this moment, Yang Sheng showed no worry or fear on his face, and even the cautious demeanor he had put on earlier was gone.
He didn't look like someone who had just killed his own gang leader at all.
"Yang Sheng! You have committed treason and massacred your gang members, and now you dare to come back? You have some nerve!"
Yang Sheng said in a deep voice: "Old Ding, Di Wei is a top-ranking member of the gang and a big shot who has opened a branch."
Even if I were insane, I wouldn't need to kill him; there's more to the story.
"If you still insist on punishing me after hearing this, I, Yang Sheng, will not resist!"
He Wenchang said with a gloomy face, "Speak, let's see what kind of nonsense you can come up with!"
In short, every club has its rules, and fratricide is a major taboo in any club!
There needs to be an explanation for this matter.
Yang Sheng took a deep breath and said, "I killed Di Wei because the One-Eyed Leopard of the Alliance wanted to recruit Di Wei to join the Alliance."
Diwei had long been dissatisfied with Lao Dingni, saying that Lao Dingni should have stepped down long ago, but he had been occupying the position of leader and not giving him a chance to rise.
However, the One-Eyed Leopard of the Alliance promised him that he would become the leader of the Alliance in three years, which naturally tempted Diwei.
Dewey specifically called me here because he wanted to get me to go to the Union with him.
The death of Feng Le, a Red Pole, in Helian is not a loss, as it instantly adds two more Red Pole-level figures.
But when I, Yang Sheng, first arrived in Hong Kong and was almost starving, it was Hung Sheng-Lian who gave me a chance, preventing me from starving to death on the streets of Hong Kong.
The four words I, Yang Sheng, value most in my life are: gratitude and repaying kindness!
So I directly refused Dick Wei, but Dick Wei threatened me to have the underlings of the Wo Lian identify me as colluding with the Wo Lian, and then deal with me according to gang rules, and then he would switch sides to the Wo Lian himself.
In a fit of rage, I fought with Dewey and accidentally killed him.
If you don't believe me, you can ask the younger men who ate with me at the restaurant tonight. They can all testify that it was Diwei who sent people to pick me up.
And one of Dewey's henchmen can testify that One-Eyed Leopard secretly came to see Dewey tonight!
Yang Sheng's words were a mix of truth and falsehood, and although they were completely contrary to the truth, they seemed flawless to outsiders.
After all, it's true that One-Eyed Leopard came to find Di Wei, and it's also true that Di Wei came to find Yang Sheng.
Most importantly, He Wenchang was somewhat hesitant after hearing this, because it did seem like something Di Wei would do.
Having suppressed Diwei for so many years, Diwei must have long been dissatisfied.
Now that One-Eyed Leopard from the Alliance has come knocking on his door, promising him a position as the leader, even if he were in Dee Wei's shoes, he would definitely be tempted.
Transferring between different triads used to be a very serious matter.
They would only choose to switch to another organization if they had an irreconcilable conflict with their leader or were pushed to the limit.
But nowadays, all the major gangs are driven by profit, and switching allegiances isn't a big deal as long as the benefits are sufficient.
So if things are really as Yang Sheng said, then Di Wei truly deserves to die.
Yang Sheng killing him was actually doing himself a huge favor.
However, He Wenchang was inherently suspicious. He distrusted Di Wei, and he distrusted Yang Sheng even more.
At this moment, Yang Sheng said in a deep voice, "Old Ding, although outsiders call my Hong Sheng Lian a sunset gang, we still need a red stick to maintain appearances."
I'm here to uphold the reputation of Hong Sheng Lian, which is much better than that coward Di Wei who didn't even dare to participate in the Dragon City Championship.
Although Diwei harbored ulterior motives, my decision to kill him without authorization was indeed a violation of gang rules, and I will explain myself for that.
If Lao Ding nods in approval, I'll raze all of Wo Lian's territories tonight and kill One-Eyed Leopard to give the gang an explanation!
"The merit of destroying a gang should be enough to earn me a Red Pole rank, right?"
He Wenchang's brow twitched immediately.
Yang Sheng has some nerve!
He not only killed Deewell, but also wanted to replace Deewell!
However, if he can really wipe out the United Front, then he will definitely be more than qualified to be a Red Pole (a high-ranking official in China).
While there are no explicit rules regarding the positions of Red Sticks in various gangs, in addition to fighting ability, battle record is also very important.
