Meng Yinglong could not just watch as the Fierce Tiger Gang was being integrated or replaced and do nothing, so he launched a series of actions.
As long as Ye Fan’s actions were stopped, then taking back control of the Fierce Tiger Gang would be much easier afterward.
Meng Yinglong contacted several high-ranking officials one after another, and the result was surprisingly consistent—they were powerless, which almost made him explode with anger.
"These bastards, completely useless, at the critical moment, each one retreats like a turtle," Meng Yinglong fumed, "I just wanted to borrow their help to protect the Fierce Tiger Gang and prevent Ye Fan’s plans from unfolding, and yet, not a single person stepped up to help me. They all say they’re being watched and any action will be caught as leverage against them."
"Master, we hold a lot of leverage against those people. Should we threaten them a bit, force them to help?" A Niu had already returned to Meng Yinglong’s side, respectfully suggesting.
Meng Hao immediately replied, "It’s not right to do so. No matter what, we are all in the same boat. We also know that the organization sees our Fierce Tiger Gang as a thorn in their side. Only with high-ranking officials turning a blind eye has the Fierce Tiger Gang thrived. Without their assistance, the gang couldn’t have grown so large. Tearing the relationship is of no benefit to anyone. If I’m not mistaken, if the organization wants to act against our Fierce Tiger Gang, it would face many obstacles. Now with Ye Fan in the picture, we can use violence to counter violence."
"My son makes a good point, and indeed, it is so," Meng Yinglong’s eyes glowed with intensity.
"Master, do we really just give up ? This juicy piece, the Fierce Tiger Gang, can’t be let go," A Niu was unwilling.
"Let’s ignore it for now; we can’t deal with it anyway. Once this storm passes, we’ll plan carefully. Ye Fan, that bastard, dares to oppose me. I’ll make sure he dies a terrible death," Meng Yinglong said menacingly.
"I will find an opportunity to personally kill Ye Fan and prove myself in front of my father," Meng Hao thought to himself.
What Meng Hao didn’t know was that soon after, his actions would cost him his life.
That is a story for another time.
The losses to the Fierce Tiger Gang caused significant damage to the Meng Family, and the conflict with Ye Fan escalated to its peak.
Previously, Meng Yinglong had dismissed Ye Fan, but now, he paid him high attention.
At the headquarters of the Fierce Tiger Gang, Qiu Wen acted decisively, and in front of Qi Baitian and the four hall masters, directly killed those night club owners guilty of serious crimes and arrested a large group of bosses, preparing to turn them over to Zhang Lu for punishment.
The night club bosses involved in vice activities had no good ending—either dead or captured.
The other numerous bosses, trembling with fear, were utterly terrified of this new leader.
Qi Baitian and the four others watched Qiu Wen’s actions and not only did nothing to stop her but actually helped her in her endeavors.
"From now on, all night clubs will conduct respectable business. No more disgusting deeds. If anyone defies my orders and acts wantonly, they will be executed without mercy," as they say, new officials apply strict measures, and Qiu Wen showed no mercy to the unscrupulous male and female bosses, all adept in the skills of saying one thing to one person and another to another. So, her only method was one of iron and blood.
"Yes, yes, whatever the boss says," the numerous bosses replied fearfully in unison.
This was only the first step, totally intimidating everyone. Next, completely taking over all the former industries of the Fierce Tiger Gang would still require a lot of time and effort to gradually rectify.
The bosses whose personal safety was not compromised went down, grateful to have survived.
Soon, Zhang Lu led the police to the headquarters of the Fierce Tiger Gang.
Qiu Wen handed over the captured bosses to the police and let the police take them away.
"This is the Fierce Tiger Gang. Previously, superiors strictly instructed us never to come here, let alone cause trouble. Now, we’re here to arrest people from the Fierce Tiger Gang," before leaving, these policemen’s eyes were filled with surprise and complexity.
"Congratulations, Knife Sister," Zhang Lu smiled lightly.
"I’m just helping Master share his worries, so I’ll accept this hollow title," Qiu Wen replied openly, "but how we will manage the industries below requires your guidance so I can comply. Also, the name Fierce Tiger Gang can no longer be used. We need you to provide clear instructions on what form we should exist in."
"Knife Sister, you don’t have to be so polite. As for the future organizational form, you all decide. I just need to ensure that harmful industries no longer exist, and I’ll be satisfied. I won’t interfere in other matters," Zhang Lu said nonchalantly.
"At least give me some guidance. Leaving this big operation to me puts a lot of pressure on me," Qiu Wen said helplessly.
"The capable should do more; it’s your hard work, isn’t it? Aren’t you supposed to help your master? How can you not perform well?" Zhang Lu chuckled, encouraging, "In the future, you’ll become your master’s money bag, so you better perform well."
Qiu Wen and Zhang Lu conversed as they came before Ye Fan.
"Taking over the Fierce Tiger Gang so easily, isn’t it a bit surprising?" Zhang Lu fixed her gaze on Ye Fan.
"The relationship between the Fierce Tiger Gang and the Meng Family is known to only a few. Kill the Gang Leader, then with the four hall masters switching sides, it’s easy to take over all the businesses. Nothing unexpected," Ye Fan said seriously.
Zhang Lu hurried to take credit, saying loudly, "If it weren’t for my intervention, could you have taken over the Fierce Tiger Gang’s industries so quickly? Could you be the hidden boss behind the scenes? I’m afraid you wouldn’t even be able to come to the headquarters of the Fierce Tiger Gang."
Recalling the few prominent figures she contacted by phone with Meng Yinglong, Zhang Lu felt a chill down her spine.
"This is your duty, you surely can’t do nothing," Ye Fan said calmly, "Did the Meng Family just abandon the Fierce Tiger Gang?"
"Temporarily it’s abandoned, but once the Meng Family strikes, it will be a major move," Zhang Lu warned earnestly.
"A major move, huh," Ye Fan muttered to himself, "If they dare mess around again, I’ll go directly to the Meng Family and eliminate all the threats."
