Chapter 241: The Torture of Three Knives and Six Eyes

Ah Qiang's buttocks froze in place; he almost sat down in that seat. That old guy, in the end, still came.

Ah Qiang didn't sit down, but slowly stood up and looked at Zeng Guolong who walked in.

Zeng Guolong ignored him completely. He slowly walked to the spot and plopped down in his seat.

Four bodyguards stood on either side of him, intimidating the entire scene.

The scene was completely silent.

Ah Qiang didn't say anything, he just looked at him.

Zeng Guolong sat there, leaning on his cane, and slowly said, "Heshenghe is the empire that we old guys fought for. Although I am old, I am not dead."

Zeng Guolong's gaze then fell on A-Qiang.

"Ah Qiang, is it that nobody listens to this old man's words anymore?"

Ah Qiang sneered inwardly, but outwardly he said respectfully, "Boss, say whatever you want to say, I'm listening."

Zeng Guolong nodded and said to those below, "First of all, your boss died under mysterious circumstances. Has anyone thought about avenging him?"

Secondly, it's up to me who will be the leader of Heshenghe. Did you ask me before you chose your leader here?

No one can become the boss of Heshenghe without my consent.

This is similar to the emperors of ancient times; if they didn't inherit the throne, their rule was illegitimate and their authority questionable. That would be considered usurpation.

Ah Qiang sneered inwardly, but outwardly treated him with courtesy: "Boss, Hua Ge's matter is rather troublesome. We already know who the murderer is, but avenging him will not be easy."

Besides, the gang couldn't be without a leader for even a day; it was in complete disarray. I was planning to reorganize the gang before avenging Brother Hua.

There was no other way; if possible, A-Qiang still wanted to gain the old man's approval.

In this way, it would be perfectly legitimate. He could then sit securely in the leader's position.

Zeng Guolong slammed his cane on the ground and said coldly, "Is difficulty an excuse? Has any of you actually done it?"

"Hehe, I'm putting this out there today: whoever avenges Brother Hua will be the boss of Heshenghe."

His words were undeniably insidious.

Anyone with even a little ambition would jump up to help him if they heard him say that.

Because everyone wants to be the boss.

Zeng Guolong thought he could still intimidate everyone, but unfortunately, the people standing there had already sided with A-Qiang.

Anyone who dared to oppose A-Qiang was dealt with by him.

Therefore, when Zeng Guolong said this, the reaction below was not very intense, and was even somewhat subdued.

Ah Qiang laughed, his face no longer showing that respectful expression: "Boss, the gang is in such a mess right now, without a leader, how can we avenge Brother Hua?"

So I think that if we want to avenge Brother Wah, we must first elect a leader. Without someone to command, how can we fight this battle? Right?

Zeng Guolong looked at him coldly and said, "You can't do it? I bet you've never even tried, right? You haven't even thought about it, have you?"

Ah Qiang quickly said, "I will definitely avenge Brother Hua, but not now."

"Heh... Keep pretending."

Zeng Guolong sneered, "Don't think I don't know, you're a damn traitor. You colluded with outsiders to murder your own boss, do you think I wouldn't find out? When I was killing people, you were still suckling!"

Ah Qiang's face instantly turned cold.

"Boss, you can eat anything, but you can't say anything! Do you have any evidence for what you're saying?"

"Evidence? Heh..."

Zeng Guolong sneered, "Don't think I'm really old. Bring the person in."

He shouted that last sentence outwards.

Soon, sounds came from outside.

One of A-Qiang's henchmen was brought in by two men.

Upon seeing this underling, A-Qiang's expression changed drastically. This underling had been standing not far away when Lao Mo spoke to him that day.

In the world of gangsters, loyalty is very important, and betraying one's own people is a serious taboo.

If people find out that he conspired with Lao Mo to kill the boss Zhang Guohua, his reputation as A-Qiang will suffer.

Zeng Guolong said coldly, "A-Qiang, you know this brother, right?"

Ah Qiang nodded, turned to look at his underling, and said coldly, "Ah Ming, is someone coercing you to say things you don't want to say?"

Amin lowered his head and said weakly, "Boss, I'm sorry, they kidnapped my family. I... I had no choice!"

Upon hearing this, A-Qiang sneered and looked at Zeng Guolong.

"Boss, isn't what you're doing wrong? You've arrested my brother's family and forced him to say things he doesn't want to say. Do you think what he says will stand the test of time?"

Zeng Guolong said coldly, "That's the truth. Qiang, stop pretending. Ah Ming has already told me everything about your conversation with that old Mo that day. Do you think you can still be the boss?"

"Hahahaha..."

Ah Qiang suddenly laughed, then sneered, "Right now, besides me, who else can be the boss of Heshenghe? Whoever becomes the boss will be thrown into chaos. Zeng Guolong, are you so old that you can't even see this much of the situation?"

Ah Qiang has come clean; he's not pretending anymore.

He's dealt with so many hall masters, how could he not deal with an old man like you?

Zeng Guolong laughed too: "Hehehe, Qiang, the world can keep turning no matter who's missing, so don't take yourself too seriously."

Ah Qiang sneered, "Tell me, besides me, who can be this boss?"

Zeng Guolong sneered, "If no one else can sit here, then this old fellow will sit here himself. What? A-Qiang, you're not happy about that?"

Ah Qiang laughed: "Zeng Guolong, I think you're just here to die. If you behave yourself and act like a retired emperor, I'll give you a sum of money every month to live on in your old age."

You're so old you can't even move, yet you still want to cause trouble. You really don't respect us young people at all!

I've laid my cards on the table, I'm not pretending anymore. Anyone with a brain knows what's going to happen next.

Zeng Guolong remained completely calm, leaning on his cane and coldly saying, "I'm old, not dead. Ah Qiang, you traitorous bastard."

Zhang Guohua was a boss I personally trained, my apprentice, and you killed him without a word. Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner, right? Do you think I'll let you get away with this?

Ah Qiang looked at him and said coldly, "So what do you want?"

Zeng Guolong responded just as coldly: "Today, I'm going to clean house. Chen Dongqiang, you colluded with outsiders to kill your own boss. According to gang rules, you deserve the punishment of three cuts and six eyes. Aqiang, are you ready?"

"Three cuts and six eyes" means that three knives pierced the body, leaving six holes.

P.S.: Sorry it's getting late. I'll finish this chapter first and write through the night. No matter how late it gets, I'll finish the next two chapters later.
