"Speak to me, damn it! You little brat, I've spoiled you too much! If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll notify the Enforcement Hall to deal with you!" Du Tao shouted angrily.
I let out a light laugh, unfazed. "Go ahead, Du Zong, call the Enforcement Hall right now."
As I spoke, I hung up the phone. I could imagine Du Tao's expression at that moment; it must have been quite something! He still didn't know that I was aware of his relationship with Qu Youyang, and he naively thought I would be scared of the Enforcement Hall's visit. Ha! I'm about to become the Enforcement Hall Master; why should I be afraid?
My phone rang again—it was Du Tao calling. I answered, and unsurprisingly, he launched into another tirade. As his subordinate, how dare I hang up on him? He must have been furious.
But the angrier he got, the more excited I became. As the saying goes, what goes around comes around. I still vividly remembered how he made me kneel on broken glass after I saved Yue Qing!
Just thinking about it made my knees ache a bit! How could I not make him furious?
"Cough, cough, Du Zong, please calm down and don't act like a shrew. You're supposed to be a gentleman," I said with a smile. Du Tao pretended to be a gentleman, but in reality, he was just a big pervert. He really annoyed me.
"Who the hell are you talking about? Xiang Dong! You better watch out! I'll see if you can survive until evening!" Du Tao yelled at me. I chuckled in response.
"Can you survive until evening? Want to make a bet?" I asked playfully. Du Tao was probably about to explode with rage as he cursed back, "I bet your mother! If you don't die today, then I swear I'm not a Du!"
Du Tao cursed and hung up the phone in a fit of anger.
I chuckled softly and set my phone aside, leaning back in my chair leisurely as I waited for the Enforcement Hall to arrive.
In the afternoon, the Enforcement Hall personnel arrived. To my surprise, the leader was Qu Zhan, the head of Qing Gang Law Enforcement Hall!
"Xiang Dong, let's go back to Kyoto," Qu Zhan said coldly as he entered my office, sounding like a robot.
"Okay," I replied and followed Qu Zhan out of my office. It seemed that Qu Zhan had come personally to handle my appointment as the Enforcement Hall Master.
That was fine; having the head of Qing Gang Law Enforcement Hall personally appoint me was quite impressive.
I followed Qu Zhan back to Kyoto. The headquarters of the Enforcement Hall was located in Kyoto's central district, very close to Tian Ye Gang's headquarters—just across a street.
During my appointment as the Enforcement Hall Master, Qu Zhan gathered everyone from Tian Ye Gang in Kyoto and appointed me as their trusted Enforcement Hall Master in front of them all.
At that moment, Du Tao's face turned beet red!
He realized that my defiance stemmed from having Qu Youyang backing me! This action indicated that Qu Youyang intended to sever ties with someone like Du Tao—who resembled a parasite—and begin suppressing him!
"Du Zong, why does your face look so terrible? Oh no, it seems your bet is lost; you're no longer a Du. What should I call you now? Tao Du?"
The appointment ceremony concluded, and I took the frail little hand of Yue Qing, walking slowly towards Du Tao, with the sole intention of provoking this brat.
Creak, creak.
I could hear Du Tao grinding his teeth, his eyes burning with anger. Yes, he was definitely furious.
"Don't get too smug. Go back and tell your master that what she did was truly unwise."
Du Tao coldly glared at me, and I couldn't help but laugh heartily in response.
"My master?"
Call it whatever you want; I'll just take it as barking from a dog.
"Is that so? Du Tao, you might be a bit too full of yourself. You think you're a big deal, but to me, you're just the fat beneath the scallion."
I smirked at Du Tao.
When a person gets angry, they lose their rationality, and losing rationality can lead to some incorrect actions.
The current situation in Qing Gang is quite interesting; three factions are vying for power. Although there may be temporary alliances, in reality, everyone is an opponent.
Du Tao is our rival, as well as Lu Ding Tian's rival!
Just imagine, if I were the Helmsman of Tian Ye Gang and Du Tao killed me, he could come up with a thousand excuses. But right now, I'm not; I'm the Master of the Qing Gang Law Enforcement Hall!
What a sensitive position this is! It's akin to being a supervisor or a police officer.
Above me are only the Qing Gang's total Enforcement Hall and Qu Youyang; only they have the authority to kill me without reason.
What if Du Tao attempted to assassinate me?
Then he would be in trouble; what a perfect excuse! Lu would definitely cooperate with Qu to eliminate him!
So with my identity as the Enforcement Hall Master, I can be infinitely arrogant towards Du Tao unless I make a mistake and he catches me with evidence.
Otherwise?
Du Tao simply doesn't have the ability to do anything to me!
"You little schemer!"
Du Tao cursed at me in anger. I chuckled at his words. A schemer? Just because of an attitude and one incident, can you really distinguish who is a schemer? But I nodded in acknowledgment: perhaps so; I hope you can show some mercy.
"Go to hell! Just wait for me!"
Du Tao angrily cursed at me before turning away without any grace. I laughed lightly; why would I be afraid of you?
After completing my duties, I arrived at my office building.
The Enforcement Hall occupies this nine-story office building in Kyoto, but its influence can reach any corner of Tian Ye Gang without restraint.
Perfect!
My office is on the top floor, the ninth floor. Qu Zhan brought me up and reminded me to behave myself; he would keep an eye on me before leaving.
This bastard likes to act cool as if he's some top-notch assassin; who knows how skilled he really is?
As I familiarized myself with my office—spacious and well-lit—my phone rang. It was Qu Youyang checking in on how things were going.
Of course, I told her about how Du Tao was furious because of me, which made her laugh heartily.
"Not bad! Not bad! Du Tao relies on being from the Du Family and thinks he's impressive because of his contributions in reclaiming Tian Ye Gang. Well, it seems I've finally put him in his place."
Qu Youyang spoke with great excitement, clearly having wanted to confront Du Tao for a long time but never finding the right opportunity. Now that I had helped her do it and made Du Tao so angry, Qu Youyang was thrilled.
However, I was very curious about how Du Tao managed to take control of Tian Ye Gang!
"By the way, Qu Youyang, how did Du Tao manage to take down Tian Ye Gang?" I asked. If someone else could take over Tian Ye Gang, Qu Youyang would definitely not let Du Tao handle it. After letting Du Tao take care of it, she would have to let him return to Qing Gang, which was already chaotic; this would only make things worse.
"You should stop prying into that matter; it's all in the past and doesn't really matter," she replied.
But Qu Youyang didn't tell me. Many people knew about it, but no one spoke up, as if there were some kind of taboo surrounding the issue. Since Qu Youyang wouldn't say anything, I decided not to ask further. Regardless of how Du Tao took down Tian Ye Gang, he was still Linna's enemy and mine as well!
After discussing Du Tao's situation, Qu Youyang asked about my next plans. I explained what I intended to do next.
My next step was to start making things difficult for Du Tao and begin competing with him for control over Tian Ye Gang, just like He Bei Zong Duo. I aimed to take everything piece by piece.
I also analyzed the current situation with Qu Youyang. Internally, Qing Gang was still dominated by Lu, so if Qu wanted to target Du, Lu would not support him at all. Lu could only take one of two actions:
First, join forces with Qu to divide up Du's territory and strengthen themselves.
Second, use this opportunity to suppress Qu.
I asked Qu Youyang which scenario was more likely to occur. Her answer aligned with my thoughts: the second scenario had the highest probability.
Lu was very powerful and essentially controlled eighty percent of Qing Gang's internal strength. Even if Qu Youyang managed to swallow up Du's Tian Ye Gang, it wouldn't pose an effective threat to Lu. However, if Qu Youyang lost even twenty percent of her power within Qing Gang, Lu Ding Tian would definitely kick her out of Qing Gang, forcing her to rely on Tian Ye Gang to oppose Lu Ding Tian's Qing Gang.
That would be like striking a rock with an egg; she would still be devoured by Lu Ding Tian. Therefore, Lu Ding Tian would likely focus on monitoring Qu Youyang's strength within Qing Gang.
If that were the case, I couldn't interfere; she would have to deal with Lu Ding Tian on her own. There would be many uncertainties in this situation, such as Du Tao—if Qu Youyang suppressed him, he would surely try everything possible to resist.
But how could he resist?
This was indeed a troubling matter. If he attacked Qu Youyang, it would only aid Lu Ding Tian. Once Lu Ding Tian stabilized Qing Gang, would he allow Du Tao to live? Certainly not.
So right now, the most difficult position belonged to Du Tao.
Another uncertainty was Hongmen; Qing Gang and Hongmen were rivals. While internal strife occurred within Qing Gang, they were also preparing step by step for a confrontation with Hongmen. When would this conflict officially begin? No one knew.
