Chapter 78 Lei Tang Comes Knocking, Watching from the Sidelines
Chapter 78 Lei Tang Comes Knocking, Watching from the Sidelines
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
That evening.
Ye Tian slept soundly, but some people were not so able to.
Take Lei Tang, for example, right now.
Upon hearing the news brought back by the servants, the irritable Lei Tang smashed several vases, leaving shards of broken vase scattered all over the front yard.
"Damn bastard!"
Although I guessed it.
Lei Yushan wanted to win over Ye Tian, but Lei Tang didn't expect that Lei Yushan would actually want his daughter to marry Ye Tian in order to win him over.
Moreover, I heard news from my subordinates who had bribed servants in Lei Yushan's household.
Lei Yushan and Ye Tian's discussion on this matter went quite smoothly. If it really comes to fruition, will Lei Yushan still need his help in the future?
Enraged, Lei Tang found it difficult to calm down.
Just when his anger was still burning...
Then another subordinate came to report.
"Brother, Chi Hu has once again led his men into your territory."
Since that incident, Chi Hu has frequently trespassed into Lei Tang's territory without cause, and on several occasions he has even conducted business directly on Lei Tang's land.
He knew in his heart that Chi Hu was not only testing his attitude, but that this underling had completely lost control.
"Didn't they have someone kick them out?"
"We chased them away, but it was no use; Chi Hu wouldn't listen at all."
The subordinate spoke with a face full of grievance.
If we could just get rid of them, would we need to come back and talk about this?
"Damn it!"
Lei Tang's face contorted with anger.
"Ungrateful wretches, a bunch of ungrateful wretches, Wang Hu's death must be related to them."
This brings to mind the words Ye Tian had spoken back then.
"..."
The subordinates didn't know what to say, or rather, they didn't understand why Lei Tang would implicate Chi Hu and his men in Wang Hu's death.
He's been the leader for so many years.
Lei Tang thought he had everything under control, but now it seemed that everyone was starting to betray him, which Lei Tang could not accept.
Without me, they would never have everything they have today. They don't even have basic gratitude; they are truly a bunch of ingrates.
But the most crucial thing is...
Lei Tang was at a loss for what to do and sent people to drive the Red Tigers out.
But once something like this happens, it will happen again. If you can't eliminate the problem completely, you'll only keep causing yourself trouble.
"Master..."
Just when everyone was silent and dared not offend Lei Tang.
One of the servants in the mansion suddenly spoke cautiously.
"I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should."
"Um?"
For a moment, many people looked over with surprise and doubt, seemingly not understanding how a servant dared to speak at such a time.
Lei Tang frowned.
Whether it was out of a sense of desperation or not, Lei Tang still waved his hand.
"explain!"
The servant looked relieved and, without hesitation, carefully expressed his thoughts.
"I just think that both Boss Lei and the Red Tiger Fist Masters believe that Master is currently trapped in his current situation, which is why they dare to do this. If Master were still at the height of his power, they would certainly not dare to deceive Master."
"What the hell are you talking about? Do you even need to tell me?"
I thought you'd come up with something useful, but it turns out it's just this.
How could I not know this principle?
Lei Tang felt like a tiger fallen into the plains, bullied by dogs. If he hadn't fallen on hard times, how could those people have dared to treat him like this?
"Please forgive me, sir."
The servant immediately knelt down, his face filled with fear.
"I think that if you, sir, could really become the head of the hall, those people would probably be unwilling to accept their current situation."
"Um?"
These words surprised Lei Tang, and the impatient expression on his face disappeared.
He nodded, signaling the other person to continue.
"After all, Master has spent a lot of money before. If there is any confirmed news at this time, Master will definitely be able to take the position of Hall Master without any problem, right? Why don't you go and see the Hall Master yourself?"
"Even though the master has had some trouble recently, the money he gave out before was all real money."
A series of words followed.
Lei Tang was actually persuaded.
Yes, my reputation has indeed been a bit bad lately, but the money I gave before wasn't fake, and Senlao didn't confiscate it.
Since Lei Tang had no other way to change the situation, he might as well try going to Sen Lao.
"Excellent! Excellent!"
Upon thinking this, Lei Tang immediately understood, and the gloom that had been lingering in his heart dissipated considerably.
"If I truly ascend to the position of Hall Master, the credit will go to you."
They habitually make empty promises, never specifying what rewards they can offer right now.
The servant quickly kowtowed and agreed.
"It is our honor to serve you, sir, and we dare not ask for any reward."
"Hahaha!"
,,,
"Is Lei Tang here?"
Normally, because of his age, Senlao would go to bed very early.
But today is different.
The events at the restaurant are still vivid in his mind, and he can't forget them. Whenever he thinks about them, he feels a surge of anger that he can't quell, and he tosses and turns, unable to fall asleep.
Because of this incident, Sen Lao has almost become a laughing stock in the entire Blackwater Gang.
Previously, when their position was secure, a newcomer who had just joined the gang could do whatever they wanted.
But things are different today.
Everyone in the Blackwater Gang knows that Sen Lao is about to step down, and his men are all thinking about how to use this opportunity to rise to power. There's no one who genuinely wants to work for Sen Lao anymore.
otherwise.
Senlao wouldn't be single-mindedly focused on making more money at a time like this.
Just as he was struggling to sleep, a servant came to report that Lei Tang was requesting an audience. Upon hearing this, Sen Lao was stunned, not understanding why Lei Tang would seek him out at such a time.
Considering that Lei Tang had recently given him a lot of money.
Sen Lao didn't say anything about kicking them out.
"Have him wait in the front yard, I'll be there shortly."
"Yes, sir!"
After receiving the order, the servant quickly left.
After simply putting on an outer robe, Sen Lao went straight out.
,,,
"Master!"
It was as if there were nails on the stool; Lei Tang kept shifting his body, unable to settle down.
Upon seeing Sen Lao emerge, he immediately stood up and bowed to greet him.
"Um!"
Even though he was about to step down, Sen Lao still had a firm grasp on the leader's mannerisms.
He nodded expressionlessly.
He then sat down in the main seat and finally looked directly at Lei Tang.
"Speak, what is it?"
He couldn't help but wonder if Lei Tang was here to give him money again.
"Master, I would like to know when the appointment of the next Master will be finalized."
As he spoke, Lei Tang chuckled and took out a 10,000-tael silver note from a money exchange from his pocket.
