Xu Lang didn't turn around, but he had already seen the strange and unpredictable nature of Wesley's shot.
Great!
Xu Lang couldn't help but sigh.
There really are killers in this world who can make bullets curve!
"Alright, you can stay by my side for now. I might need you at any time!"
"yes, Sir!"
Wesley agreed and then left Xu Lang's room.
Just as Xu Lang received his reward and accepted Wesley, the top assassin of the Assassin Alliance, Tang Shan Kui had already taken over all the territory of Taitung Top Village. Dongxing's underlings drove out all the forces of Top Village, and many of Top Village's underlings turned around and joined Dongxing.
Parts of the northern and western districts of Taitung fell into the hands of Tung Sing.
Meanwhile, people at the other two corner bridgeheads and fishing ports in Taitung were having sleepless nights.
The territories of the two corner bosses were closely connected to Dingzhuang. With everything in chaos at Dingzhuang, Daqiaotou and Yugang were naturally also unable to sleep peacefully. Xu Wanhe, the boss of Daqiaotou, could hardly sleep all night. When he learned in the early morning that Dongxing had only taken over Dingzhuang's territory and had not made any outrageous moves against Daqiaotou's territory, he was finally relieved.
"These Dongxing people, although fierce, are still reasonable!"
Xu Wanhe sighed and said to his old friend Uncle Kuan beside him:
"It was Yong Sang who brought trouble upon himself by luring Dong Xing here; otherwise, Ding Zhuang wouldn't have suffered such a devastating disaster!"
Uncle Kuan nodded, but his face showed some worry:
"Boss, we still can't let our guard down. The reason why Dongxing hasn't touched our territory might be because they just arrived in Taitung (with Li Zhao) and don't want to make more enemies!"
"As for what will happen to them in the future, we still need to observe them carefully!"
Xu Wanhe nodded, but couldn't help rubbing his temples.
He was getting old, and seeing the commotion at Dingzhuang all night, he barely slept a wink. Now he just felt a bit of a headache.
Uncle Kuan glanced at it and tentatively asked:
"Boss, you're not getting any younger, it's time to let Michael come back and give you a hand!"
Uncle Kuan is a veteran of the bridgehead and has a very high reputation in the corner. However, Xu Wanhe also has a son named Michael who is studying abroad. In recent years, Xu Wanhe seems to want Michael to come back and inherit his father's business. Therefore, at this critical juncture, Uncle Kuan wants to test Xu Wanhe's words!
Xu Wanhe sighed and said:
"Michael is still young, let's talk about it later..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt dizzy, then everything went black, and he collapsed to the ground.
Chapter 265 Uncle Kuan and Michael fight for power at the bridgehead; Xu Lang aims to unify Taitung.
Taitung, Daqiaotou Main Hall.
At Xu Wanhe's memorial service and memorial ceremony, Uncle Kuan, dressed in black, stood there, seemingly acting as the acting boss of the bridgehead, welcoming and seeing off guests.
The group of underlings at the bridgehead, all dressed in black suits, stood on either side, looking solemn and dignified.
Many gang leaders from all over Taiwan who had connections with Hsu Wan-ho brought their underlings to pay their respects, creating a rather imposing scene. The Taitung Police Station even deployed a thousand officers to maintain order outside.
Taiwan has a gang culture. There have been many gangs in Taiwan since the Japanese occupation period. Although the Japanese adopted various oppressive strategies against the people of Taiwan, they were never able to eradicate the gang culture in Taiwan.
Even after the Kuomintang entered Taiwan, the same thing happened.
Although many mainlanders later established large gangs such as the Sanlian Gang and integrated many local gangs in Taiwan, local gangs like the Tai Kau To were very difficult to suppress because they were native indigenous groups. As a result, police officers often became mere bystanders during large-scale events of these gangs.
Uncle Kuan was maintaining order at the memorial service when suddenly several black cars drove up in the distance and stopped at the entrance of the memorial service. Several young men, about 157 cm tall and wearing black suits, got out of the cars.
The young man leading the group was tall and had a cold look in his eyes. He was none other than Michael, the only son of Xu Wanhe, the big boss of the bridgehead!
As soon as he saw Michael return, Uncle Kuan immediately went over and warmly shook his hand.
“Michael, you’re finally back, your dad…”
Michael shook his head.
He knew that his father, Xu Wanhe, had always had cardiovascular problems, and that Xu Wanhe's death this time was due to his overwork and lack of sleep after witnessing the complete uprooting of the Taitung Dingzhuang faction overnight. This caused his blood vessels in his brain to rupture, and it had nothing to do with anyone else.
"I know my father's health very well. Thank you so much, Uncle Kuan, for taking care of this!"
Michael then walked to the front of the mourning hall, put on the mourning clothes for a filial son, knelt down before the memorial tablet and bowed three times and nine times, and then accepted the condolences of the guests as a filial son.
Soon, the memorial service was completed, and Xu Wanhe's coffin was placed in the funeral home, awaiting burial the next day.
The guests had all left, leaving only Michael, Uncle Kuan, the two headmen of the bridge, Gui Tou, and Ku Cha.
Uncle Kuan glanced at Michael, a cold, unfathomable glint in his eyes.
He had always been Xu Wanhe's right-hand man, holding the position of deputy head within the bridgehead organization. He had originally planned to take Xu Wanhe's place after Xu Wanhe's death, but he didn't expect Michael to return so quickly, and it seemed that he was not prepared to give up the power left behind by Xu Wanhe.
Therefore, Uncle Kuan felt it necessary to give the other party a warning:
"Michael, how long will you stay this time?"
Michael smiled faintly;
"I'm not leaving. Dad's dead. I'm going to take over from the eldest brother and hold up the bridgehead!"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Kuan's expression immediately turned cold, and he gave a cold laugh:
"Michael, you studied abroad for several years and never got involved in any club affairs. Suddenly you come back and are ready to take over the bridgehead. Don't you think that's a bit too easy?"
"Over the years, although your father has been the nominal boss of Daqiaotou, I have actually been in charge of the vast majority of affairs. You could say that without me, there would be no Daqiaotou as we know it today!"
At this point, Uncle Kuan paused for a moment, then patted Michael on the shoulder:
"Michael, you young people have your own world. You've been studying abroad for several years, why not go straight and do something legitimate? Why come back and get involved in the murky waters of the triads?"
Michael gave Uncle Kuan a cold look and said;
"Uncle Kuan, I know you've worked very hard managing this corner all these years!"
"However, my dad sent me abroad to study business administration. You should know about this subject; it's about managing businesses using modern methods, just like with the corner store! He had me study this so he could hand over the management of the corner store to me!"
Uncle Kuan couldn't help but laugh:
"Michael, this corner of the bridge was built by your dad and me with a bunch of brothers back in the day. Who told you it could be inherited? You really think you're the prince!"
He turned and walked out, but stopped at the door, turning back to look coldly at Michael:
"Michael, let me give you another piece of advice: you'd better stay away from the murky waters of gangsters. Go back to being a proper senior business management manager. You can't handle fighting and killing!"
After saying that, he walked out of the funeral home with the ghost head and the bitter tea.
Michael watched Uncle Kuan's retreating figure, but his eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of hatred and hostility.
At this moment, the younger brother, Lighter, came over:
"Brother, it seems the old man wants to seize power. What should we do?"
Michael sneered:
"Never mind him, I'll kill him right after my dad's burial!"
"He still thinks it's the world where fists and kicks reign supreme. I'll tell him that in the future, the underworld of Taiwan will be ruled by guns!"
When Michael returned from abroad, in addition to his henchman Lighter, he also brought back more than a dozen henchmen from overseas.
These underlings all had experience in the underworld abroad and were proficient in firearms and hand-to-hand combat. Michael planned to use them as his trump card to deal with Uncle Kuan.
Therefore, although Michael had just returned from abroad, he was extremely confident that he could defeat Uncle Kuan.
……
Meanwhile, Hu Yi and Tang Shan Kui have taken over all of Ding Zhuang's territory and are currently staying in the new branch of Dong Xing in Taitung. Hu Yi, as the head of Dong Xing, also went to Xu Wan He's memorial service to pay his respects and met with Uncle Kuan and Michael.
He instinctively sensed the tension between Uncle Kuan and Mike, and quickly found out from his underlings about the argument between Uncle Kuan and Mike at the funeral hall.
Then, Hu Yi immediately reported the matter to Xu Lang.
"Brother, Xu Wanhe's son Michael is back. It seems that the cunning Uncle Kuan is not going to relinquish power. The two are bound to have a fierce power struggle!"
Xu Lang nodded and said:
Which side do you think has the better chance?
Hu Yi thought for a moment and said:
“I have a higher opinion of Uncle Kuan. He was the deputy head of the gang before, and he actually handled a lot of affairs in the gang. He also has a high reputation in the gang. Michael studied abroad for many years and doesn’t have much of a foundation in the gang!”
"If the two groups really fight, Michael's chances of winning are very low!"
Xu Lang nodded, agreeing with Hu Yi's idea. However, it was impossible for Michael to be completely unprepared, so it was really hard to say who would win in the end.
As he was thinking, a crisp system notification sounded in his mind:
"System task triggered!"
"Please, host, conquer the entire Taitung Corner within a week and turn Taitung into a one-size-fits-all Tung Sing!"
"Upon completion of the mission, the host will receive a reward: the 100% loyalty of one hundred Alpha Commandos!"
Chapter 266 Xu Lang's attempt to recruit Michael was rejected; Michael, in a desperate gamble, decided to kill Uncle Kuan.
Upon hearing the system notification, Xu Lang couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.
Unexpectedly, the system triggered a mission at this time, ordering him to unify Taitung Corner and turn it into a unified Dongxing district.
It makes sense. Since the largest corner house in Taitung has already been taken over, and the Daqiaotou area is currently in turmoil due to a power struggle, why not just take over Taitung in one fell swoop and make it a one-size-fits-all place for Tung Sing!
Thinking of this, Xu Lang smiled and said:
"Huyi, tomorrow is Xu Wanhe's funeral. I'll go with you!"
Hu Yi was slightly taken aback:
"Brother, you don't need to go to Xu Wanhe's funeral in person. It would be too much of a burden!"
Xu Lang smiled faintly:
"It's okay, I mainly want to meet this Michael!"
