Chapter 960: Leaving
All these years, everyone relied on Hong Gang to establish their own businesses in Green District. Although it was all illegal work, they had already reached a sustainable scale in their own businesses.
“We can leave, but what about the businesses that we have in Green District? Are we waiting for the military base to crack down on all our shops, arcades, KTVs, and nightclubs?”
“Boss, we’ve been with you for so long. Are you going to abandon the rest of us for your stupid younger brother?”
“Brothers, what do you want to do?” Tao Guangyu asked with a righteous tone as though he was ready to hear the rest of them out.
“Let the people who started it take responsibility, of course!”
“Yes, as long as you send Tao Guanghe and Qi Xiaotian to the police station and let them take responsibility for this matter, we’ll pay the 10 million bucks and pay Young Master Leng’s medical fees. Even if it’s the military base, they won’t do anything rash, right?”
Tao Guanghe and Qi Xiaotian were completely dumbstruck.
None of them expected that a player in a mere game turned out to be the son of the military base’s Commander-in-chief.
“No, no, Big Brother, you mustn’t hand me in! I don’t want to go to jail! I’ll die in there!” Tao Guanghe was so scared that he quickly knelt before Tao Guangyu. He hugged Tao Guangyu’s leg and cried until snot and tears started to flow from his facial cavities.
Qi Xiaotian was so frightened that she trembled and wailed herself hoarse.
“You’re the one who caused this. If you don’t take responsibility for it, how is it fair to cut off all livelihood of the Hong Gang members?”
The people below roared angrily in agreement.
When it came to their own interests, no one wanted to give in.
“Everyone, can I say one more thing?”
Tao Guangyu waited for the crowd to quiet down before continuing, “This Leng Qirui that I told you about just now isn’t just the Commander-in-chief’s son. After all, if this is his only identity, I’ll definitely send Tao Guanghe to the police and let him bear the responsibility. However… this Leng Qirui is also the young master of a second-tier wealthy family in Emperor District. Everyone can investigate the Leng family in Emperor District. They’re equivalent to the upper echelons even in the entire circle of second-tier wealthy families. There’s also no point for me to withhold the information that Leng Qirui is the only patriarchal grandson of the Leng family. Once crippled, even if the military base were willing to let us off, would the Leng family let us off? Even if the military base didn’t confiscate our assets, would the Leng family sit back without making their move? I’m afraid that when they make their move, they’ll be even more ruthless than the military base. In fact, the Leng family will most probably suppress this matter and never lodge a report. Then, they’ll see to this themselves. Now, does everyone still think the best solution here is to hand Tao Guanghe over to the police?”
The hall was deathly silent.
“Then, you should still have a large amount of money in your accounts. Give us the money and we’ll forget about this.”
“That’s for sure. However… the person who spent ten million to kill Leng Qirui said that Hong Gang may be on the military base’s wanted list tomorrow. If we don’t disband now, I’m afraid none of us will have the time to do so,” Tao Guangyu explained patiently, trying to brush off the demand bit by bit.
“Actually, I have thought about sending the money to everyone, but who should I send the money to? Is there someone all of you trust?”
There was silence.
The reason why Hong Gang grew so well was that Tao Guangyu was skilled at manipulation. The people under him did not trust any of their own peers. The only person they trusted was their leader, Tao Guangyu.
“I’ll hide from the military for a period of time. If you’re not afraid of being implicated by me, you can follow me still. After all, I’ll wait for everyone to gather before splitting the money. Therefore, the most important thing now is to retreat. Only…”
“Retreat? How dare you leave after harming my precious little brother?”
