Chu Yuntian has been very happy these days.
Once the big worry of the Western Province was removed, there was no substantial friction between the Southern Province and him, and the overall situation was completely settled. Moreover, during this period, Ye Wenli was also systematically transforming the two provinces. Although the transformation has not yet reached the territory of the Western Province, most of the venues in the Guang Province have been successfully transformed. From the original unhealthy, abnormal, and incorrect clubs, they have been successfully transformed into legal and reasonable normal enterprises.
Soon, the news that Bi Shihua had deliberately released came in. Chu Yuntian would not just laugh it off when he apologized to him. He always believed that if no one offended me, I would not offend anyone. The Southern Province had made substantial hostile moves against him, so he usually didn't bother to take such small matters to heart.
However, after a few days, the development of things was beyond Chu Yuntian's expectations.
First, there was news that he did not accept the apology of Bi Shihua, the big boss of Southern Province, and killed Bi Fang, who was sent by Bi Shihua to apologize. Later, even Bi Shihua himself died tragically in his own home, and all the evidence at the scene pointed to Chu Yuntian without a doubt.
When he received the news, it was Tong Zhan who told him. It had been several days since Bi Shihua was killed. After all, the matter in the Western Province had just ended, and everyone would inevitably relax after experiencing a big battle. It was during these few days that the entire Southern Province had begun to stir.
Bi Shihua has been the big boss of Southern Province for many years. Although he is not as popular as the people, he still has many loyal followers. When the news that he was assassinated by Chu Yuntian came out, the whole Southern Province was in an uproar, and countless followers threatened to kill Chu Yuntian to avenge Bi Shihua.
"Mr. Chu, you didn't really kill him, did you?"
Tong Zhan looked strange. Chu Yuntian's image of meticulous thinking had long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Could it be that he really killed Bi Shihua in order to eradicate the roots? However, killing Bi Shihua would not bring any benefits. They no longer had extra manpower to transform the land of Southern Province.
"What do you think?" Chu Yuntian said with a half-smile, "Give me a reason to kill him, or give me a motive to kill him."
“Uh... this..." Tong Zhan froze for a moment. It wasn't that he was against Chu Yuntian killing Bi Shihua out of spite. As a martial artist, he naturally knew that cutting the grass without getting rid of its roots would lead to endless troubles. He just couldn't understand why Chu Yuntian did this.
Chu Yuntian stretched lazily, patted Tong Zhan on the shoulder and said, "Old Tong, I've been framed. I thought I could relax for a while, but now it seems that a big battle is inevitable. This is a fierce battle, tell your men to be ready."
"This..." Taihe smiled awkwardly, and said in disbelief: "Mr. Chu, it's not that exaggerated, right? This is just a rumor, and it will soon be broken. Besides, you also know that the brothers under my command are now participating in the transformation of the two provinces. Everyone has been exhausted recently. If we go to war with the South Province..."
"It's true that rumors will break down on their own, but people can't come back from the dead. As long as Bi Shihua and Bi Fang are indeed dead, this rumor will never break down automatically. I don't want to go to war with the Southern Province now, but they don't think so. Look at those overwhelming rumors, they want to tear me apart alive."
Chu Yuntian smiled bitterly. Taihe was right. Although they were not in a period of bad luck, they were in a period of reconstruction. If they had another tough battle at this time, his and Ye Wenli's plan to transform the two provinces would probably have to be postponed indefinitely.
"Well, Master Chu, I'll just make a sound when I go down. I don't know why the Southern Province is so resentful this time... Hey!"
Tong Zhan shook his head in frustration. This old man always liked to drink. When he was not needed, he would spend his days and nights in revelry. But when it came to the critical moment, he was afraid of making mistakes, so he dared not touch those things. Even Tong Zhan had such an expression, let alone his subordinates.
Chu Yuntian sighed. In this fierce battle, the time, place and people were not on their side. It was because Bi Shihua had been so generous that a provincial tyrant actually asked his son to come and apologize in person. This was unprecedented in history. But now "Chu Yuntian" not only refused to accept the apology, but also killed Bi Shihua and Bi Fang, a father and son, severely slapping them in the face.
This slap not only hit Bi Shihua's face, but also hit the face of the underground world in Southern Province. Just like if a Chinese diplomat was killed by a foreigner, any Chinese would probably feel humiliated.
Chu Yuntian's eyes kept flashing. Who on earth would go to such great lengths to set a trap for him? He had many enemies, but they were either subdued by him or completely dead. The rest could no longer keep up with his current pace, let alone influence the opinions of an entire province.
Could it be...
…
While Chu Yuntian was getting anxious and worried, Zhang Ziqiang and Zhou Sanye were toasting to celebrate. Zhang Ziqiang's face was filled with joy. He never dreamed that the position he had dreamed of would come so easily and be so within his reach.
But despite his excitement, there was a hint of uneasiness in the corner of his eyes.
As expected, Bi Shihua did not choose to compromise. His only son was killed, and he was furious and chose to investigate the matter thoroughly. After all, he was the boss, and he soon found something unusual. All the clues pointed directly to Zhou Sanye and Zhang Ziqiang.
So Mr. Zhou San said that this person could not be kept.
Bi Shihua was dead, killed by Zhou Sanye's hands, but Zhou Sanye's strength as a martial artist at the level of transformation was also completely exposed to Zhang Ziqiang.
As if noticing Zhang Ziqiang's uneasiness, the two of them clinked their glasses. Zhou Sanye seemed to comfort and reassure him, "Ziqiang, don't worry too much. As long as you work honestly for the Zhou family, the Zhou family will never treat you unfairly. Once Chu Yuntian dies, there will be no one to take over the territories of the two provinces, and the Zhou family will have no intention of dealing with things here. Then this big piece of fat meat will be yours."
Zhang Ziqiang nodded with a wry smile, but he felt that it was not very reliable. He knew how thick his calves were. Eating one southern province almost made him die of fullness. He couldn't eat the other two provinces at all. He would choke to death.
Mr. Zhou San let out a long sigh of relief. "To celebrate the success of our first step in cooperation, I have a gift for you. Pay attention."
Zhang Ziqiang was wondering what the gift was, when he saw Zhou Sanye flip his hand and take out a small black pill. A fishy smell immediately emanated from it. Before he could ask what it was, Zhou Sanye flicked his hand and the pill actually bounced directly into his mouth.
With a click, the pill went down his throat. Zhang Ziqiang's face changed drastically, and he stood up pale.
"What is this?" (To be continued)
