Chapter 160 [Bold Plan]
"Play!"
At this time, rhythmic applause sounded in the originally quiet hall, and Meng Shu was the first to applause.
Meng Shu clapped and smiled, "Brother Li is really good at it!"
Meng Shu applauded, and his subordinates also applauded.
Some of them applauded because Meng Shu applauded, and some of them were shocked by the strength shown by Li Yi!
The applause was given to Li Yi from the bottom of his heart.
Worshiping the strong is something that any circle has, and the underworld is no exception.
"Call Brother Yi!" Meng Shu said in a deep voice when he saw Li Yi return to Tang Hu.
Meng Shu's subordinates heard Meng Shu's words, without saying a word, bowed and shouted: "Brother Yi!"
Seeing this scene, Li Yi's expression was very calm, but Tang Hu was a little confused. In his memory, Meng Shu was a proud and arrogant person, and so was his subordinates. Although Meng Shu did not violate Tang Hai's orders in the past, Meng Shu himself was a little dissatisfied with his current treatment.
Because, except for leaving some difficult problems to Meng Shu to deal with, Tang Hai did not hand over the money-making business to Meng Shu to manage.
To put it bluntly, Meng Shu is Tang Hai's sword. Wherever Tang Hai pointed, Meng Shu would go!
Although he was a little confused, Tang Hu was still very happy. After all, Li Yi was brought into the gang. If Li Yi was not treated well, he would feel sorry.
"Brother Li, then you'll stay here, I'll go back first. If you have any questions, you can call me." Tang Hu smiled and patted Li Yi on the shoulder.
Meng Shu smiled indifferently and said, "Brother Tiger, go and manage your business. You don't have to worry about Brother Li's affairs. I'm here."
Although Meng Shu's words were unpleasant, they were for the sake of Li Yi's goodness. Therefore, Tang Hu didn't say anything else and left the martial arts hall.
"Okay, you continue to train." Seeing Tang Hu leave, Meng Shu said in a deep voice to his subordinates, and then smiled and said to Li Yi: "Brother Li, you are a newcomer and don't understand some places. Come with me to the inner room and I'll explain it to you."
"Okay." Li Yi did not refuse Meng Shu's proposal, so he naturally knew that Meng Shu would have a face-to-face conversation with him.
In addition to a hall, the martial arts hall also has many rooms, including a reception room. Obviously, if you have any important tasks on weekdays, the conversation will be held in the reception room.
It is said to be a reception room, but it is actually just an ordinary room. There is a wooden table in the center and a set of tea sets on the table. A few wooden chairs are placed around the table, and the whole room looks very simple.
After entering the room, Meng Shu walked straight to the table, poured a cup of tea for Li Yi with his own hands, and after handing it to Li Yi, he poured another cup himself.
"Please." Meng Shu made a gesture of asking Li Yi, then picked up the teacup and poured the tea into his stomach in one breath.
Then, Meng Shu wiped his mouth, sat on the chair, and said with a mute riddle: "Brother Li, you used your eyes and communicate just now, but I was a little confused. I am not very clear about what you expressed. Can Brother Li explain it?"
Li Yi put down the teacup and pondered for a moment, "Not wise people say secret words, you and I know the reason why Tang Hai arranged me here. My position is already very clear!"
"You are really not Tang Hai's person?" Meng Shu narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Yi.
Li Yi sneered: "I just joined the gang yesterday. Do you think I'm Tang Hu's person?"
"In theory, the possibility is not high. However... the Chinese Gang rules, if you want to enter the gang, you must do something that convinces the brothers and get the consent of the brothers before you can enter!" Meng Shu said in a deep voice: "Although you killed the shark in the nightclub, that is not a gang business, but Tang Hu's idiot went to gamble on the boxing privately! So, in a sense, you did not do something that convinces the brothers. At best, it was just helping Tang Hu solve a problem. In such a situation, Tang Hai directly lets you enter the gang, what is that?"
When Li Yi heard Meng Shu's words, he was a little surprised. Li Yi was not clear about the rules of the Chinese helper, and Chekov did not tell him.
"I don't know about this." Li Yi shook his head and said.
Li Yi's answer disappointed Meng Shu. He didn't say anything else, but frowned and looked thoughtful.
"You can see it yourself. My brothers and I are very dissatisfied with that old guy Tang Hai, and the old guy doesn't like us." Meng Shu said with a gloomy face: "If the situation was not for the grim current situation and the old guy still needed us, I'm afraid he would have attacked us. The old guy asked you to come here today to try to shake my position in the minds of this group of people. Now that you have not done as he wishes, he will definitely be dissatisfied with you, so all you can do is join us!"
"What's the use of joining you?" Li Yi said disapprovingly.
Meng Shu's face changed: "What do you mean, are you going to stand on the old guy's side?"
As he spoke, a faint murderous intent appeared in Meng Shu's eyes. Feeling the familiar murderous intent, Li Yi understood that the guy in front of him had killed someone, and had killed many of them.
For some reason, after listening to Meng Shu's previous words and seeing the expressions that Meng Shu showed at this time, a bold idea appeared in Li Yi's heart!
Li Yi first adjusted his emotions, and then said: "I am a very realistic person. I will stand on the side wherever I am strong!"
Li Yi's answer made Meng Shu feel a little uncomfortable. He smiled sinisterly: "What do you mean is that the old guy is stronger than us? Boy, you have to know that if it weren't for me and my brothers, the old guy would have been swallowed up by other gangs long ago!"
"Don't think too much about you." Li Yi said disdainfully: "Without you, Tang Hai is still the leader of the Chinese gang in Los Angeles, but he is just weaker."
"Fuck! All the Chinese Gangs can beat me. If I hadn't had my brothers and I, the Chinese Gangs would have suffered a great loss long ago!" Meng Shu cursed with wide eyes.
Li Yi stared at Meng Shu's eyes, and his expression became a little gloomy: "Don't forget that the Los Angeles Chinese Gang is just a branch of the American Chinese Gang. Tang Hai is the person in charge here. Although I don't know much about the Chinese Gang, I also learned some inside information before joining the Chinese Gang. It can be said that the American Chinese Gang, at present, except for New York, the Chinese Gang in Los Angeles is the second largest force, and its annual income is second only to the New York Chinese Gang. In such a situation, if Tang Hai is really in trouble, will people from other places help? Or, there is no one in the entire American Chinese Gang except you?"
When Meng Shu heard Li Yi's words, he was shocked.
Obviously, he understood that what Li Yi said was the truth.
"Then according to what you said, we will have no effect?" Meng Shu was a little unwilling.
Li Yi shook his head and rejected: "No. At present, you have a great role."
"Why?" Meng Shu was puzzled.
Li Yi said seriously: "Don't forget that Tang Hai is a very ambitious person. Such a person will not ask Chinese help from other regions until he has no choice. In that case, if he owe favors from Chinese gangs in other regions, his prestige will be greatly affected in the gang! The most important thing is that if Tang Hai asks Chinese gang members to help from other regions, it will be a disguised way to tell everyone that he is almost out of reach. If the leader of the Chinese gang knows this news, do you think the leader of the Chinese gang will retain power?"
"Yes!" Meng Shu replied subconsciously.
Li Yi nodded: "That's right! Think about it, if Tang Hai lost you and your brothers, he would not only lose the bargaining chips to compete with other gangs, but also lose the bargaining chips to challenge the headquarters. By that time, even if he, the leader, could continue to move forward, would not be very happy. But he is an ambitious person. An ambitious person does not like to be restrained by others."
"Hey! It seems that you are prepared to join the Chinese Gang?" Meng Shu sneered, but was shocked. It can be said that everything Li Yi analyzed just now was something he had never thought about.
"It doesn't matter whether we are prepared or not. What's important is that we will not become enemies." Li Yi smiled slightly.
Meng Shu stared at Li Yi thoughtfully and said, "Why do you say that?"
"If I'm right, your dream is to replace Tang Hai and become the eldest brother of the entire Chinese gang in Los Angeles?" Li Yi answered the question irrelevantly.
When Meng Shu heard Li Yi's words, he did not answer immediately.
As Li Yi said, Meng Shu’s dream is indeed this.
This is also his goal!
"I'm not hiding it from you, I really think so." Meng Shu said gloomyly: "What? Do you want to tell Tang Hai? I tell you, Tang Hai has known for a long time that I am very ambitious."
"You are stupid." Li Yi sighed softly. In his opinion, if it weren't for the special situation now and Tang Hai did not have a second powerful force, then Meng Shu would have died thousands of times!
Meng Shu looked disdainful: "You can say I'm stupid, but so what if he knows? You said just now, he won't touch me!"
"That's just for the moment." Li Yi corrected Meng Shu's mistake and then said coldly: "And I can tell you very clearly that if you continue like this, you will never be able to replace Tang Hai! If I was right, Tang Hai has now established a force in secret, a force that can replace you and your subordinates. But that force is not strong enough now. Think about it, while he secretly establishes his own force, he treats you and your brothers as suicide squads. When the force he secretly establishes is strong, what will happen to you and your subordinates?"
Li Yi's words shocked Meng Shu!
"Hey! To put it bluntly, you and your subordinates will not die at that time, that is a blessing in disgrace." Li Yi said without hesitation: "And after all, the one waiting for you is death. Of course, maybe your brother is expected to save his life, but you must die!"
Li Yi's words were like a sharp dagger that penetrated into the weakest part of Li Yi's heart.
Even cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"What the hell are you trying to do? Why did you say this to me?" Meng Shu looked at Li Yi with an ugly face.
"If you want, I will help you fulfill your dream." Li Yi answered the question irrelevantly.
Meng Shu sneered: "Why should I believe you? It's because you are better than me?"
"Because, my goal is to become the leader of the entire Chinese gang!" Li Yi said with a proud look at Meng Shu.
Chapter completed!
