Chapter 56: The Mission of Tian Xiong

  Zhao Heng looked at Du Tianxiong, with a flicker of doubt in his eyes.

  Du Tianxiong nodded slightly, a warm smile still on his face: "That's right, although I can settle the grudge between you two, Mr. Zhang is after all a big shot in Huahai, so you should give him some face, tonight, have a drink with him and wipe out past grievances like chalk marks, how about that?"

  Zhao Heng thought for a moment: "Go!"

  In an unavoidable situation, Zhao Heng would not hesitate to go to war with the Qingbang, but if there was a turning point in their relationship, he would not refuse either. After all, he is still not strong enough and has to consider Qiao Baozi and Song Qingguan. Therefore, facing Du Tianxiong's mediation, Zhao Heng did not hesitate much, a good man does not miss out on immediate benefits.

  "It's settled then."

  Du Tianxiong smiled and pulled his daughter: "Let's have dinner together tonight!"

  Du Ziyuan nodded happily: "I'll come pick you up the day after tomorrow."

  Then she didn't wait for Zhao Heng to answer and pulled her father away, apparently afraid that her shyness would be seen by Zhao Heng. It wasn't until they reached the door that she realized she had forgotten to ask Zhao Heng which club he was joining. Ding Lingling glared at Zhao Heng fiercely, then stomped her foot and turned to head towards the Taekwondo Club, needing to inform her brother as soon as possible.

  Zhao Heng smiled and went to find Qiao Baozi and the others.

  After sending Du Ziyuan into the armored vehicle returning to the Du family, Du Tianxiong leaned on another bulletproof car seat, pinched a copy of intelligence and opened his mouth: "This news came a bit late, Lao Lu, did Zhao Heng really become so abnormal? Cutting off the hands of more than 100 Qingbang members? This kid... is even more ruthless than I was when I was young."

  "Compared with the Eastern hero who buried alive three thousand enemies, there is nothing to be proud of."

  He threw the letter on the chair and sighed: "I wonder if he's okay now?"

  The middle-aged man in the driver's seat took a deep breath and didn't answer Du Tianxiong's last question. Instead, he waited for his emotions to calm down slightly before speaking: "It was indeed Zhao Heng who did it. At the Huahai Bar, not only did he knock down all of Qing Bang, but also chopped off the hands holding knives one by one, which made Zhang Xiaolin extremely angry..."

  "It was just these days that they didn't kill him when investigating Zhao Heng's background."

  After a brief pause, the middle-aged man added a few more sentences: "Now Qing Bang has confirmed that Zhao Heng has no background or connections, they can take action without any scruples. Zhang Xiaolin issued an order to kill Zhao Heng half an hour ago, and it's said that he's also preparing to call in Tie Luo Han, one of the top ten assassins, to deal with Zhao Heng. I think Zhao Heng won't live for more than a few days."

  "I just agreed with Zhao Heng to help him smooth out the grudges of the Qing Bang."

  Du Tianxiong sat up straight, his face calm: "I was still planning to let him toast Old Zhang with a cup of wine tonight, I didn't think things were so serious. But no matter what, it's all good now. I promised him in front of Zi Yan that the grudge between Qing Bang and him would be eliminated. Lao Lu, you go visit Zhang Xiaolin personally tonight."

  "Tell him to come over later and have some wine."

  "I understand!"

  A middle-aged man nodded slightly, not feeling too difficult about this matter. In Hua Hai, as long as Old Man Du wanted to smooth things over, they had to be smoothed over. Even if Zhang Shulin's woman was killed by Zhao Heng, Zhang Shulin would still have to lower his head and compromise. Among the three big shots in Hua Hai, only Old Man Du could truly call the shots.

  "You just said Qing Bang is still investigating Zhao Heng's background?"

  Du Tianxiong thought of a detail when he was about to close his eyes: "Didn't the bar owner do anything before seeking revenge? Why did it take a hundred people to investigate?" The gentle breeze outside the window lightly swept Du Tianxiong's hair, and the sunlight shone down at an angle, revealing a deep and mysterious smile on Du Tianxiong's face.

  "Qing Bang certainly investigated."

  A middle-aged man stepped on the accelerator and drove towards Du's house, his voice still low: "Before Qing Bang sought revenge at Hua Hai Bar, he had already found out that Zhao Heng was just a powerless and influenceless young man, but when they took action, Yan Ruyu from the First Floor appeared, not only giving Zhao Heng 100,000 yuan as a thank-you gift, but also inviting him to join the First Floor on the spot."

  After a brief pause, he added a few more sentences: "Because of the first floor's intervention, Zhang Xiaolin re-investigated Zhao Heng's background to see if he had any connections with the first floor or Ye Shifu. The Qingbang and the first floor have always been at odds, and Zhang Xiaolin didn't mind using this opportunity to stab Ye Shifu in the back."

  "Is this true?"

  Du Tianxiong's eyes reopened, flashing a hint of curiosity: "Unexpectedly, Hua Hai has changed so much. It seems I need to shift my focus back to Hua Hai from the capital, or else I won't even know when the sky changes. But why would the enchanting woman Ye Shishi take an interest in Zhao Heng? Doesn't she worry about offending Qing Bang because of this?"

  Du Tianxiong knew that Ye Shisheng and Zhang Xiaolin had never gotten along, and it was common knowledge that they secretly stabbed each other in the back. However, on the surface, they were still polite to each other. How could he not follow the rules when doing things for Qingbang? This went against the agreement made by the three parties at the beginning. Without a reasonable explanation, it would make the Du family point their guns at the First Floor.

  At this time, a middle-aged man smiled: "Ye Shifu has a good reason for helping, Zhao Heng saved Ye Lao."

  Du Tianxiong burst out laughing and patted his thigh, saying: "I remember, Zi Yan just introduced Zhao Heng earlier and said that the kid sent Principal Ye to the hospital due to a sudden heart attack. I didn't expect Master Ye to stand up and help Zhao Heng because of this. It seems that this adopted daughter still has filial piety towards Old Ye."

  At this point, Du Tianxiong's expression suddenly turned cold again: "However, Ye Shifu has not only a filial heart but also ulterior motives. She and Zhang Xiaolin are the same, wanting to change the situation in Huahai and divide more cake and benefits, but they don't know that the current situation is most beneficial to all three parties. If there's an opportunity, I'll teach them a lesson."

  A middle-aged man slightly bites his lip and quietly listens to his master's words.

  After a moment of killing intent, Du Tianxiong revealed a hint of helplessness: "The Qing Bang has 3,000 disciples, the first floor is filled with beauties, and both sides have different paths to take. Their interests haven't clashed much, and they often cooperate to make money. I really can't understand why they still want to swallow each other up? It's truly a case of 'a snake swallowing an elephant'."

  As the middle-aged man was slightly surprised, Du Tianxiong closed his eyes and rested, throwing out the last few words: "Lao Lu, you have to keep an eye on all sides of Huahai, small fights are okay, but if things get out of hand, it's absolutely not allowed. I've been strengthening communication with the capital recently, hoping that the Du family will be safe in Huahai for a hundred years."

  The middle-aged man nodded respectfully: "Understood."

  Here is the translation:

  "Up to this point, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before adding in a low voice: "If, if Qing Bang really can't swallow this breath, and on the surface they yield but secretly continue to retaliate, what then? The current development momentum of Qing Bang is very strong, although Zhang Xiaolin is still keeping a low profile, his confidence has increased a lot."

  "He sighed and said, 'It's inevitable to be proud of oneself.'"

  "Then kill Zhao Heng!"

  Du Tianxiong's eyes flashed with a hint of cold light, and he calmly threw out a few sentences: "If the Qing Bang really won't give up, then I'll kill Zhao Heng to calm down the storm. In any case, I cannot let Huahai make a big mistake. Killing Zhao Heng... will create an opportunity to kill Zhang Xiaolin in the future and offer sacrifices to him, allowing Xiao Mianhu to take over as the leader of Qing Bang."

  Middle-aged man stunned: "Kill Zhao Heng? That young lady..."

  Du Tianxiong waved his hand and said lightly, "I also appreciate Zhao Heng, but when the time comes for him to die, I will show no mercy." He then changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Old Nan is coming to Huahai for an inspection in a few days. Tell all parties to do things cleanly and efficiently, lest the Nan family point fingers at Huahai again."

  "My life's greatest mission is to prevent the four major families from occupying Huahai."

  "It's a pity I'm getting old after all."

  A middle-aged man slightly lowered his head, then threw out an incomprehensible question: "Old master, actually we want to absolutely stabilize Huahai, why not eliminate the First Building and Qingbang? Without these two guys making trouble, we can control Huahai more easily and proactively, and don't need to often mediate between them."

  "When the water is clear, there will be no fish!"

  Du Tianxiong took a deep breath, his fingers tapping on the edge of the car window: "Although the First Building and Qing Bang have brought us many problems, they also helped us block the infiltration of the four major families, stabilized the black and white forces in Huahai, and didn't let the Du family be too busy to worry about it. After all, my energy and that of the Du family are limited."

  "We, Ye Shishi and Zhang Xiaolin all have a consensus!"

  After a brief pause, he smiled and added: "That's why the Wu family's cake must not be tainted by outsiders. They are also aware that if the four major families enter the Wu Sea, their interests will definitely be damaged. After all, relying on individual strength is difficult to withstand the ambitions of the four major families, so they won't become traitors like Wu Sangui."

  Du Tianxiong leaned back in his chair and sighed, "The only thing I didn't expect was the ambition of Ye Shisheng and Zhang Xiaolin. In recent years, their rapid development has led them to have the idea of swallowing each other up. It's also because their development in Huahai has reached a bottleneck, and if they can't expand outward, they can only die in Huahai."

  "But understanding is just understanding, suppression still needs to be suppressed!"

  Du Tianxiong waved his hand:

  "In the East, before Dongfang Xiong destroys the country of Yuè, Huá Hǎi absolutely cannot make any mistakes!"
