Insufficient balance
That night, Feng Siniang was left behind by Kang Zhuo. After dinner, she was pulled back to the room by her, and the two of them went away whispering, leaving Li Hu and Ye Yizhe staring at each other in dismay.
"Brother Ye, this is too awesome!" Li Hu looked at Ye Yizhe with a face full of admiration and said in a worshiping tone, "It's only been so short a time, yet you've already taken down Feng Si Niang. Just look at her attitude towards you... tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really hard to imagine that she's the same Tong Ye Qing from before. Brother Ye, how could you not have told me about this?"
Yi Zhe saw that he was in a state of personal worship again, stretched out his hand to knock on his head, but was dodged by Li Hu who had already discovered his movement, and couldn't help but laugh and say: "Brother Ye, this trick doesn't work anymore."
He couldn't help but shake his head, and Ye Yizhe said: "I'm telling you, not to spread it around, Wind Tian Nan just left recently, this news isn't suitable for spreading either, do you want your brother Ye to be hunted down?"
With a wronged expression, Li Hu looked at him and muttered: "I won't go around talking nonsense."
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore." Ye Yizhe interrupted his emotions, knowing Li Hu could understand and had no idea how to bring up the matter. Was he supposed to call Li Hu just to say, "Tiger, I'm with Feng Si Niang now"? That would be ridiculous. Li Hu perked up his ears at this, only to hear Ye Yizhe continue: "Now that Feng Tian Nan is dead, no one in the Green Gang can control the situation anymore. This is the best opportunity to strike while they're in disarray. Tiger, if you really want to take down the Green Gang, this is your chance."
Li Hu nodded and said in a low voice, "This is indeed an opportunity. The high-level members of the Tiger Head Gang have discussed it, but everyone knows the situation, and no one dares to take the lead, fearing that they will be morally disadvantaged and then surrounded by other gangs, which would be a loss."
"You're not wrong, but it's not the right time to make a move yet. It seems you've really grown up," Ye Yizhe said with a relieved smile as he looked at Li Hu. "I've studied the current situation of the Qing Bang. Originally, when Feng Tian Nan was around, because he had the most seniority, no one, whether it was helping or the other five elders, dared to disobey him. Now that he's gone and there's no one to succeed him, the mountain has no tiger and the monkeys are claiming to be king. Everyone wants to be the leader of the Qing Bang, but for now, they're still in the mourning period for Feng Tian Nan, so no one is making a move yet. Once this phase passes, someone will definitely come forward first. So, during these days, you must prepare for all situations and be ready to seize the opportunity at any moment."
"But I still don't understand one thing." Li Hu said with a puzzled expression, "How did Feng Tian Nan suddenly die that day? What was the situation really like? Was he really a suicide as they said?"
Ye Yizhe murmured and said: "What's more lamentable than the death of one's heart? Perhaps his heart had already died when Feng Hua Tian died."
He didn't want to bring up the past again, especially since it would remind Feng Si Niang of those unpleasant memories.
"Same old rule, don't come looking for me unless your life is in danger. I don't want to be wiping your butt every day, got it?" Ye Yizhe thought for a moment and added another sentence before entering the study and closing the door behind him. Li Hu nodded and walked into his room to rest, although he still wanted to spend more time with Kang Zhuo, but with Feng Siniang around, he knew it was impossible. The first meeting with his daughter-in-law must have a lot of things to discuss.
A three-bedroom, one-living room apartment. Ye Yizhe's master bedroom was given to Kang Zhuo and Feng Siniang. He and Li Hu each had a small room. The study was unused, with only a bookcase of books placed by Yang Zhi inside. Li Hu also knew that Ye Yizhe disliked others being in the study when he was there, so he didn't follow him in.
Sitting at the desk, there was a piece of paper on it, which had already been densely filled with many things, and many lines indicating the direction of flow. If one paid attention, they would find that all the major powers in Jiangzhou were marked out, and compared according to their top masters, number of people, and financial resources. Many things were not from the materials provided by Feng Si Niang, but rather calculated based on the current situation. Looking at the Hu Tou Bang, which was ranked last among the four major gangs, he thought for a moment and then wrote a question mark after the three characters. As for the powers outside of the Qing Bang and the four major gangs, Ye Yi Zhe didn't even bother to look at them, directly using Feng Si Niang's estimates, they couldn't stir up much trouble.
Put away this paper, and there is another one underneath. On the large A4 paper, only two words were written: Sang Teng, followed by a big question mark.
After some thought, Ye Yizhe added another name on top, Zhe Tianci.
The next morning, Kang Zhuo proposed to leave. Ye Yizhe and Li Hu wanted her to stay for two more days, but Kang Zhuo smiled and said: "What's the difference between leaving a day earlier or later? I'll go back to Mo Town first, and when Ye Zi has a holiday, you can all come back together."
Ye Yizhe and Li Hu could only reluctantly agree with her opinion, they had been brought up by Kang Zhuo since childhood, and they all knew that Kang Zhuo was not like Zhe Yang, as long as she made a decision, no one could refute it.
He directly bought her a ticket to Lhasa that afternoon, bid farewell with a few words, and didn't make much small talk before sending Kang Zhuo onto the plane. The three of them left only after watching the plane take off.
"Yesterday you talked all night, what did the teacher's wife say to you?" Ye Yizhe asked Feng Siniang on their way back.
Feng Si Niang shook her head and smiled insincerely, "She said that if you bully me, I should tell her, and she'll come to Jiangzhou to help me beat you up."
Ye Yizhe and Li Huyi burst out laughing upon hearing this.
Let Li Hu send himself back to school, Feng Si Niang and Li Hu went straight to Fang Fei.
Now that the matter of Feng Si Niang and Ye Yi Zhe is known, the two are already considered one family, and there's no need to hide anything anymore. Many plans need to be understood by each other, those who need to stay will stay, and those who need to provide cover will also stay behind. The integration of the two forces has begun, with Feng Huang She's intelligence and cooperation with Hu Tou Bang's military might, even Ye Yi Zhe cannot deny that they are already the number one gang in Jiangzhou, aside from Qing Bang.
However, even so, the two of them still don't have much confidence in taking down the Qing Bang. The Qing Bang is too large, and even though it's now loose, a dead camel is still bigger than a horse. The two need to carefully plan this out, prepare everything they can think of, and consider all possibilities, so that in the future they can gain an advantageous position and strike a favorable blow against their enemy from the shadows.
Feng Si Niang still remembers the shock she felt when Ye Yi Zhe first mentioned that he wanted to help Li Hu take down Jiangzhou. It was something she could only dare to think about in her dreams, and yet her beloved Ye Yi Zhe had already started working with Li Hu. Just from a standpoint of courage, she had to admit defeat to Ye Yi Zhe.
She naturally knew that Li Huo would take action at this time just because Ye Yizhe had arrived.
She also clearly knew that Ye Yizhe's strength was far from what it is now, Ye Yizhe had told her that he had a fight with Nie Huangyan without holding back, and with such a hidden master behind him, the confidence that originally didn't exist slowly rose up.
What they fear most is not the tens of thousands of members of the Green Gang, nor the few elders with unknown assets in their hands, but the four great warlords of the Green Gang and the hundreds of people under each of them.
