Chapter 11 They're not giving me any face.
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because saying it only made Lei Tang angrier.
"Lei Ludu has been arrested, and you still don't know? How are you managing this territory?"
"What?! Young Master Lei has been arrested!"
Ye Tian was utterly shocked.
Mei Yongning, standing to the side, was in the same state of shock, but subconsciously glanced at Ye Tian a couple more times.
Lei Tang had no doubts.
After all, those people said yesterday that dozens of people had taken Lei Lu away, but Ye Tian had just arrived and wouldn't have that many people under his command, so Lei Tang didn't suspect Ye Tian at all.
It's just that I'm filled with anger and have no one to vent it on.
If Lei Lu hadn't been arrested on this street, Lei Tang wouldn't have come looking for him.
"Don't worry, Boss Lei, even if I have to turn the whole street upside down, I will find Young Master Lei."
As he said this, Ye Tian's eyes were filled with ferocity, as if he was willing to disregard everything else in order to find Lei Lu.
"Um!"
Ye Tian's attitude calmed Lei Tang's anger somewhat, and he nodded in satisfaction.
At this moment, Mei Yongning, who was standing to the side, also spoke up at the opportune moment.
"Boss Lei, it's also possible that the Earth Dragon Gang kidnapped Young Master Lei."
"Um?"
The Earth Dragon Gang? This made Lei Tang frown.
However, when Lei Tang saw Mei Yongning, his eyes showed even more doubt, as if he was pondering the man's identity.
"Brother Lei, my name is Mei Yongning, and I am a scholar here."
Seeing that look in his eyes, Mei Yongning immediately introduced himself.
"Scholar!"
Lei Tang nodded, then stopped paying attention and asked directly.
"You just said that the Earth Dragon Gang kidnapped Lu'er. What do you mean by that?"
"Boss Lei, you may not know this," Mei Yongning explained.
"Just recently, when Young Master Lei was visiting a brothel, he got into a fight with one of the Earth Dragon Gang's Red Serpent's men because of a woman. Young Master Lei even hit the man. Perhaps..."
Mei Yongning didn't say what came next, but everyone understood what he meant.
"Red-banded Serpent!"
Lei Tang frowned even more deeply. If the Crimson Serpent was involved, things would become even more troublesome.
As a gang of similar size to the Blackwater Gang, the Earth Dragon Gang's organizational structure is also similar to that of the Blackwater Gang.
The Blackwater Gang has eight hall masters, while the Earth Dragon Gang has five snakes, with the Crimson Serpent being one of them. Its status is equal to that of a hall master, and Lei Tang is not yet a hall master.
If a conflict were to actually arise with the Crimson Serpent, Lei Tang would undoubtedly be the one to suffer.
"Are you sure you're one of Red-Striped Serpent's men?"
"I am absolutely not lying."
This kind of thing can be easily found out with a simple search; who would dare to lie?
Moreover, what Mei Yongning said was indeed true. However, the other party was actually a subordinate of a subordinate of Chi Lian She, so how could he not be considered a subordinate of Chi Lian She?
"..."
Lei Tang fell silent.
He seemed to be weighing whether or not to offend the Red Serpent of the Earth Dragon Gang for the sake of Lei Lu, or rather, for the sake of Lei Yushan. Now was the crucial moment for him to compete for the position of hall master. If something went wrong...
Thinking of this, Lei Tang's eyes became dark and unfathomable.
"What red-banded snake? I've never even heard of it."
Before Lei Tang could think it over, Ye Tian immediately patted his chest and said to Lei Tang with a face full of assurance.
"Don't worry, Boss Lei, I'll take some men and kill that Red Serpent right now. He dared to kidnap Young Master Lei, I think he doesn't respect you at all. I'll go teach him a lesson now."
As he spoke, Ye Tian immediately went out to gather more people.
"Stop right there."
Without time to think, he quickly told Ye Tian to stop.
Teach rules? Teach rules to whom? If we're going by seniority, the Red-Striped Serpent is older than me.
If something really goes wrong, you, the underling, will be fine, but the boss himself will be in trouble.
"Brother Lei, don't worry, Young Master Lei disappeared on my turf. I will definitely give you an explanation."
"etc!"
He was somewhat afraid, but he couldn't directly say no, otherwise where would his authority as the boss be?
"Ahem, Ye Tian, right? We need to consider this matter more carefully."
"Take it a long way? But Boss Lei, that Red-Striped Serpent doesn't take you seriously at all. He's practically throwing your face on the ground and shitting on your head. He..."
The more Lei Tang talked, the darker his face became.
If it weren't for Ye Tian's indignant expression, Lei Tang would have suspected that he was indirectly cursing him.
"In short, wait for my instructions. Do not act without my orders, understand?"
"Understood, Boss Lei."
Ye Tian still looked puzzled, but since it was Boss Lei speaking, he could only reply in a muffled voice.
"Um!"
Seeing Ye Tian's reaction, Lei Tang was finally satisfied.
He then left with his men, fearing that if they stayed any longer, Ye Tian might utter some more earth-shattering words.
After Lei Tang and his men left.
Ye Tian's expression quickly returned to normal, and Mei Yongning beside him also regained his composure.
"This is an opportunity."
Mei Yongning spoke.
"That group of people are the ones who killed the Ghost Head brothers during the previous fight. If Master Ye can deal with them, given Ghost Head's personality, he will definitely follow your lead."
So, did you guess something?
He was a smart man. Even though his suspicions were guessed, Ye Tian was not flustered. Although there were system rewards, if he wanted to firmly control a territory, it meant that he needed a large number of subordinates.
Mei Yongning's talent made Ye Tian want to recruit him.
"And what about you? You're so smart, you can read and write, why did you come to look at this land?"
Only after getting familiar with it did I realize that this territory was a trap, and it could be taken away at any time. No wonder Lei Tang was able to give this territory to me directly.
"Boss Lei sent me."
Mei Yongning's tone remained unchanged.
"Three years ago, Boss Lei sent me to this street to be a scholar, saying it was to train me and that he would transfer me back after a while. So I've been here ever since."
Judging from Lei Tang's reaction just now, he has clearly completely forgotten about Mei Yongning.
I have absolutely no recollection of such a person.
"I admire you, Lei Tang doesn't need you."
After saying that, Ye Tian patted Mei Yongning on the shoulder and left.
There's no need to directly recruit them; words of loyalty are just empty promises. What matters is how they act.
Seeing Ye Tian leave, Mei Yongning's eyes flickered, and then he continued to look at some business ledgers, as if nothing had happened.
,,,
After leaving, Ye Tian went straight to Lei Lu's place.
Overnight, Lei Lu became noticeably weaker. When Ye Tian approached, she didn't even dare to speak so boldly as she had yesterday, nor did she dare to say anything threatening to Ye Tian.
"It seems your father doesn't care much about you. His first thought wasn't to raise money, but to send Lei Tang to find you. What a pity."
As he spoke, Ye Tian shook his head with a hint of regret.
Ignoring the terror in Lei Lu's eyes, he glanced at Wei Wu and said something.
"Cut off his hand, then send someone to deliver it. If he still doesn't behave, the next time we'll send his head."
