In the meeting room of the Ma Bang Zong Hall.
Xu Hu slowly stood up: "Old Wei, what do you mean?"
"I don't mean it." Wei Xiangzuo ignored the young man whose chin hook he had taken off, and turned to stare at Xu Hu and said, "Xiaofeng's words may be a bit harsh, but they make sense. Master is dead, and the murderer has not been caught yet. Isn't it a bit against the rules for us to gather together to discuss dividing the territory and making money?"
Xu Hu said with an extremely unpleasant expression: "Don't stand on the moral high ground..."
“Bang!”
As the two were confronting each other, Zhang Zhengfang slapped the table and said, "That's enough! One of you is the assistant and the other is the judge. Can you please be more tactful in what you say and do and follow the rules?!"
Xu Hu glanced at Wei Xiangzuo and said nothing more.
Wei Xiangzuo looked up at Zhang Zhengfang and said, "My master's death is obviously suspicious. If we don't investigate this matter, it will be difficult to convince the public to change the old rules and divide the territory. Mr. Zhang, you are one of the elders of the Code Gang. What do you think we should do about this matter?"
In the room, the people who were originally prepared to support Xu Hu were silent at this moment. Because Xiao Feng's words just now were well-founded and could almost prove that Lao Gu's death was not that simple, so if someone jumped out and forcibly helped Xu Hu to smooth things over, it would not be helping him, but harming him.
Since the Code Gang follows the path of the underworld, they must have the spirit of the underworld. They can fight secretly under the table, and show their magical powers, but they still have to be able to handle things on the table, because this is their survival rule.
"What do you think?" Zhang Zhengfang asked the members of the Presbyterian Church in the room.
A few seconds later, an old man smoked a cigarette, frowned at Xu Hu and said, "What Xiao Wei said is right. If you want to be in a high position, you have to convince the others. Let the brothers below obey you and let the people above recognize you. Now someone has expressed a different opinion, which means that some brothers in Zhannan have doubts. If you want to be a leader, you have to take the initiative to solve the problem."
The leader of the Fukuoka district also interrupted and said, "Xu Hu, you want to join the Presbyterian Church and hold a title in the Federation of Trade Unions. This is well known to everyone. I don't mind this. You are senior enough. We advocate that those who are capable will be given the position! But you have to do what you should do beautifully. There is no sound below. I will vote for you."
When everyone heard this, they all nodded. Xu Hu stood there and responded with a smile, but did not say anything else.
Zhang Zhengfang pondered for a while, then slowly stood up and said, "Then let's do this. If you investigate Lao Gu's death, catch the gunman, and make the noise below quiet down, we will agree to your changing the rules and letting you come up. We old guys will sit here and not stop the younger generation."
Xu Hu paused for a moment, then turned to Gu Tongshan's wife and said, "Master's wife, don't worry. If I can't catch these gunmen and kill the people who killed my master in a month at most, I will hand in my chair and leave my job in Zhannan."
"Okay, it's settled." Zhang Zhengfang made the decision: "One month, once you figure out the cause, we can continue the meeting here."
"Okay." Xu Hu agreed immediately.
"Do you have any other questions?" Zhang Zhengfang asked Wei Xiangzuo.
"That's all." Wei Xiangzuo simply shook his head.
"Then listen to me carefully. If what Xu Hu finds out is convincing and well-organized, then you must fully support him." Zhang Zhengfang pointed at Wei Xiangzuo and said, "You are the second-in-command. It is definitely not okay for you to engage in internal strife."
"No problem." Wei Xiangzuo responded again.
"That's it, meeting adjourned!" Zhang Zhengfang waved his hand.
"Walk!"
Wei Xiangzuo called Xiaofeng and led his men away.
Xu Hu stayed in the meeting room and began to see everyone off one by one and communicate with them individually.
…
Five minutes later, inside the car.
Wei Xiangzuo turned his head and looked at Xiaofeng: "Who asked you to speak at the meeting?!"
"I just said everything you can't say." Xiao Feng replied indignantly: "In the matter of Mr. Gu being killed, Xu Hu is the only one who has the biggest vested interest. He himself is worthy of suspicion. How can such a person call the shots in Zhannan at this critical juncture? He even wants to change the rules. Let's not talk about the fact that we didn't agree to sell gold bricks in the first place. Even if we agreed, he can't have the final say! If Xu Hu hadn't played tricks and you happened to be on the run, the gang leader should have been yours."
Wei Xiangzuo frowned and looked at Xiaofeng: "How do you know what I'm going to say?"
"Brother, we are doing this for your own good. I am not the only one feeling upset. All of us brothers are feeling unbalanced." Xiao Feng said angrily, "As soon as Mr. Gu died, Xu Hu stopped paying us the interest for last month. Why?!"
"Alas!" Wei Xiangzuo sighed, pointed at Xiaofeng and said, "I know what I want to do and what I should do. Next time there is such an occasion, if you still talk nonsense, I will chop off your mouth."
Xiao Feng was still quite afraid of Wei Xiangzuo. When he heard him say this, he immediately smiled: "... I still have to call you big brother with this mouth, are you willing to chop it off!"
“Little bastard…!” Wei Xiangzuo cursed with a squint and turned to look out the window.
…
Within the union.
After Xu Hu sent Zhang Zhengfang away, he met with the Longkou District Court judge alone.
"Wei Xiangzuo seems to be a little dissatisfied with you!" Longkou District sat in the hall and said in a low voice: "With him tripping you up from behind, it will be difficult for you to take over this power."
Xu Hu frowned and looked at him and said, "I'll talk to him."
"What's the point of talking? If you don't agree, I'll beat you to death." The Longkou District Judge frowned and said, "Power struggles are cruel. You should understand this better than me!"
Xu Hu was actually annoyed by this unruly man, but because he had to use his power, he whispered back, "I know my own business. I will do what I promised you."
"That's good." The other party nodded.
…
In a high-end hotel in Longkou District.
Su Tianyu drunkenly dragged Dabai to the corridor and asked him urgently: "Did you find a place with young men?! The boss was so anxious that he pinched the inside of my thigh four or five times. If you dawdle for a while longer, I'll be in trouble...!"
"Fuck, he can't just go to any place. He wants high-end and good quality. Don't I have to ask now?!" Dabai also replied anxiously: "I don't usually go to places like this...!"
"Hurry up!" Su Tianyu urged.
"You go back first, I'll make two calls." Bai Hongbo replied.
"Hurry up!" Su Tianyu said, and walked into the box with a smile, and sat down next to Leader Dong with a little bit of a pinch: "I'm in touch, let's go right away, Brother Dong."
“If it doesn’t work, forget it…” Brother Dong looked at Gou Liuzi with intoxicated eyes.
"Why not? Right away, right away!" Su Tianyu replied a little stiffly.
Brother Dong held his chin with his chubby little hand, looked up at the door, and suddenly asked: "... Hey, that little white fat guy outside the door... His words are quite interesting! He is also fair-skinned and good-looking."
Su Tianyu was stunned. He turned around to look at the corridor and saw the fat figure of Dabai.
"This boy is pretty good-looking." Old Dong added, "Does he have anything to do tonight? How about we take him out for some tea?"
Su Tianyu nodded immediately after hearing this: "He... he should be quite convenient. It's okay, I'll ask him for you."
"Haha, okay!" Old Dong smiled and nodded.
Su Tianyu stood up and muttered to himself, "Shit, it's not me that he's interested in? I'm safe then!"
A minute later, Dabai stared at Su Tianyu in amazement and said, "Don't be ridiculous! My family has never done this for 18 generations... If this gets out, will I be dead?!"
"No, you should fool him first. I misunderstood just now. He doesn't like me. He likes fat girls..."
"Get the hell out of here!" Dabai walked over with the phone in his hand and yelled in a broken voice, "Hurry up and find a place! If you're any later... I've had my hemorrhoids cured!"
…
As soon as Wei Xiangzuo arrived in Zhannan, Xu Hu suddenly called him: "Hello, Lao Wei, I'll be back soon. Do you have time? Let's chat!"
