Chapter 29 Prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain
"Um?"
I didn't take it too seriously.
But Ye Tian's answer made Lei Tang's expression freeze for a moment, and then his eyes sharpened considerably.
"What did you find out?"
He stared intently at Ye Tian.
Instead of answering directly, he gave Mei Yongning and the others a wink.
Having been instructed by Ye Tian beforehand, they knowingly changed their positions, intentionally using their bodies to block the view of others.
Although the boxers under Lei Tang did not come over, it was only because they were afraid of offending Lei Tang. Their eyes were always on him, and after noticing this scene, several boxers couldn't help but frown.
"So what does Ye Tian plan to do?"
"What else could it be? Wang Hu is gone, so Ye Tian probably wants to take this opportunity to curry favor with Boss Lei Tang."
"Exactly, his territory is in the west of the city, he definitely wants to come back."
Someone was analyzing the situation with an all-knowing look and a nonchalant expression.
Besides that, there doesn't seem to be any other reason.
,,,
"What do you mean by that?"
After glancing at him, Lei Tang looked at Ye Tian with a meaningful gaze, not worried that Ye Tian would do anything to him at this time.
"Boss Lei, although I haven't found out who killed Wang Hu, I have found out other things."
"What is it?"
Ye Tian moved closer to Lei Tang and deliberately lowered his voice.
"I heard that Wang Hu has some grudges with the other boxers under your command, Boss Lei."
The tone also hinted at something.
"It's normal for there to be some fighting within gangs."
"I thought it was something serious," Lei Tang waved his hand dismissively. Lei Tang was clearly aware that sometimes he was indeed biased, only thinking of Wang Hu for the good stuff, and it was normal for others to be dissatisfied.
Lei Tang, however, was never worried.
It's nothing more than confidence; he feels he can control those people.
"Boss Lei, but I heard that they were all gathered together on the night Wang Hu was assassinated."
In reality, it was purely a coincidence, but coupled with Ye Tian's tone, it inevitably gave rise to some other thoughts in Lei Tang's mind.
One person might not have that courage.
But what if all the boxers participated?
"I've also heard about it."
Seeing that Lei Tang's expression had softened somewhat, Ye Tian immediately increased the pressure.
"Wang Hu usually stays by Boss Lei's side and never goes anywhere else. He's doing fine, so why would anyone try to assassinate him? He hasn't offended anyone else."
"..."
Lei Tang's eyes began to show a hint of suspicion.
Because what Ye Tian said was indeed true, as for those brothel women who had been killed by Wang Hu, Lei Tang didn't even consider that possibility. Would they dare to do that?
"Moreover, if it were a rival gang that made a move, it would be impossible for them not to have any information about it. You know, killing your confidant, Boss Lei, would be a great achievement for them."
Anyone who ventures into the world of martial arts wants to make a name for themselves. With such achievements, they would definitely publicize them extensively and would never hide them.
A series of persuasive statements followed.
Lei Tang's expression changed completely. His gaze swept over the direction of the boxers, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.
Seeing this, Ye Tian realized that his idea of causing trouble had succeeded.
However, one final push is needed.
"Boss Lei, actually, I don't think it's difficult to find out who did it."
"What do you mean?"
Lei Tang withdrew his gaze and looked over.
"It mainly depends on who benefits the most from this matter." There was a hint of seduction in his voice.
"Boom!" Lei Tang felt as if his brain had exploded.
Yes, without Wang Hu, who benefits the most? Who is the most likely to be the murderer?
So who benefits the most?
There was too much. Wang Hu's territory was the richest, and the other boxers in charge had been envious for a long time. Even if they just shared a small portion, they would be able to eat their fill.
I had already started to have doubts.
Thinking about it this way, Lei Tang felt even more strongly that this was likely done by other boxers working together, otherwise no one alone would have the guts to do it.
"good!"
While inwardly on guard, Lei Tang outwardly looked at Ye Tian with an expression of admiration.
"Not bad, not bad!"
He patted Ye Tian on the shoulder with obvious appreciation.
"I didn't realize you were not only skilled but also quick-witted. Don't worry, I'll transfer you over when the opportunity arises."
They're making empty promises again. Anyone who believes that is brain-dead.
He didn't really care, but on the surface, he still pretended to be grateful.
"Thank you very much, Boss Lei. It is my honor to be able to work for you."
"Okay! You can go now!"
Seemingly pleased with Ye Tian's "sensible" behavior, he nodded, indicating that Ye Tian could leave first.
Knowing that the time was right and that saying anything more would be counterproductive, Ye Tian nodded in agreement and led his men away.
As they passed by the boxers, they all snorted at Ye Tian, seemingly quite dissatisfied.
after all.
If Ye Tian is really transferred back to the territory in the south of the city, wouldn't their territory shrink?
"..."
But this scene made Lei Tangxu squint his eyes.
He wouldn't have thought much of it before, but considering what Ye Tian just said, Lei Tang now feels more and more uneasy about these boxers.
Damn it, are all the people around me traitors?
If they dare to mess with Wang Hu today, they'll dare to mess with me tomorrow.
,,,
"Brother, you're really going to kill me and then destroy my spirit!"
On the way back, Mei Yongning could no longer hold back and exclaimed in admiration.
This method is truly ingenious.
Not only did he completely absolve himself of any responsibility, but he also made Lei Tang start to doubt others. Without Wang Hu, and distrusting the other boxers, what difference was there between Lei Tang and a lone wolf?
Hearing Mei Yongning's praise, Ye Tian thought of something else.
"Do you think Lei Tang might raise a new 'favorite son'?"
Prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain; once it appears, it is very difficult to move.
Looking at those boxers now, Lei Tang thinks they're all traitors; it's impossible for him to train them.
However, one cannot remain without someone available indefinitely. In this situation, cultivating a new "own son" is actually the most likely outcome.
Mei Yongning was also taken aback when he heard this, and his tone became more uncertain.
"This...shouldn't be...right?"
"If Boss Lei really does that, those boxers will go crazy."
They had been hoping for the best, but if another biological son were to appear, wouldn't that mean they'd never have a chance to rise in the world? Under such circumstances, wouldn't those boxers go crazy?
When you're out in the world, everyone wants to rise to the top. But if you can't even see a glimmer of hope for advancement...
These people who live by the sword will definitely not let this go.
Mei Yongning did not believe that Lei Tang was unaware of this situation.
