Chapter 089: The Gang’s Young Master
Chapter 89: The Gang Leader's Heir
Very soon, everything that had happened at Morning Dragon Club spread everywhere. People could not help but let their imaginations run wild over this club that had reopened. How had Morning Dragon Club become so formidable all of a sudden? Not only had it laid down those outrageously arrogant three rules, but there was also word tonight that a mere security guard had taken on dozens of men alone. Every one of these rumors left a deep impression on people.
Before long, the news also reached the ears of a young man in the southern provincial capital. If Ye Feng had been there, he would have recognized him at once. He was the same fellow Ye Feng had taught a lesson to in the garage the last time. He was Jin Qingyun, the young heir of the Invincible Gang.
"Chen Cheng, tell me what exactly happened tonight at Morning Dragon Club," Jin Qingyun said to the man beside him, who was bent low in respectful deference.
"Young Master, we did know about the club's reopening tonight. As you know, in the provincial capital, no one opens a club or a bar without first coming to us for guidance. But this club never came to pay their respects, so I had been planning to ask what your attitude toward this was," Chen Cheng said respectfully to the young master seated before him, who was a few years younger than himself. It could not be helped. He served the young master, so naturally everything had to follow the young master's arrangements.
"Oh? So that's how it is. In that case, call Zhu Neng over and ask him exactly what is going on. Damn it!" the young master said with great displeasure. In the provincial capital, when had the Invincible Gang ever not been able to do as it pleased? Yet the last time he had run into that fellow, that man had somehow possessed inner strength several levels above his own. Damn it. The next time they met, he would definitely kill him.
"Yes, yes, Young Master!" Chen Cheng immediately felt the formidable pressure radiating from the young master. He hurried away with a flurry of nods and bows. The young master's words were commands, and his skill was not to be underestimated. How could Chen Cheng dare linger even for a moment?
Watching Chen Cheng leave, Jin Qingyun fell into thought. Although the Invincible Gang's influence in the provincial capital remained as strong as ever, he still felt that something was not quite right. There were too many secrets hidden in the provincial capital now. Even his father's Invincible Gang no longer felt as calm as before.
Besides, the matter tonight likely had some report on the other side from that mysterious man. Why not ask clearly? Thinking of this, the young man pressed that familiar number. "Hello, may I speak with Alpha?" His tone had become exceedingly obedient. Ever since he had followed them onto this road of no return, he had always been careful to stay compliant; otherwise, his death would be a miserable one.
"Hm. Speak." A cold voice came from the other end of the line, as though completely indifferent to worldly affairs. Even toward the young man, it carried a dismissive chill that made one feel cold all over. Jin Qingyun could not help but shiver slightly.
"It's like this, Alpha. A club in the provincial capital reopened tonight, but not only did it fail to notify us in advance, it also seems to have caused some trouble. Word is that many customers gave the club very high praise." The young man spoke with some irritation. Damn it, did they not know whose territory this was?
"Oh, that matter. I had just received word from my subordinates as well. It seems the people who were dealt with belong to your Invincible Gang." Alpha's tone remained utterly calm, so calm that it made the heart tremble. Jin Qingyun knew just how terrifying Alpha was, or he would never have reached such high mastery in such a short time.
"What, what!" Jin Qingyun was startled this time. If they had gone after anyone else, he would not have cared. But now they had trampled on the Invincible Gang itself. What a disgraceful thing that was. If this matter got out, the impact on the gang would be immense, and Jin Qingyun knew that very well.
Alpha's tone remained flat. "Yes. Although those men were masked, I know they were from your gang. For this matter, I think it would be better for you to handle it yourselves. And as for my cooperation with you, do not let your father know for now, to avoid unnecessary trouble."
"Hm, I understand. Since I have chosen to follow you, I will naturally follow you all the way. Rest assured, once the time is right, I will cooperate with you and help seize the position of gang leader of the Invincible Gang." Jin Qingyun said with a slight smile. He had long coveted the seat of gang leader. His standing within the gang was not especially high, so he still needed help.
By chance, Jin Qingyun had once met a remarkable man who called himself Alpha. Alpha had personally taught him some martial arts. From that point on, Jin Qingyun's position in the Invincible Gang gradually rose. With Alpha's help, he also eliminated some of the dissidents within the gang. Moreover, the tasks assigned by the gang leader were often carried out excellently by Jin Qingyun, and everyone began to look upon this young heir in a new light.
Not long after Jin Qingyun hung up, Chen Cheng brought Zhu Neng in. Zhu Neng greeted Jin Qingyun with a slight tremor in his voice. Jin Qingyun was the young heir, and it would not be long before he became the gang leader. How could he not curry favor with him? Zhu Neng respectfully offered his greetings.
To his surprise, Jin Qingyun courteously said to him, "Brother Zhu, please sit. I want to ask about what happened tonight, and I hope Brother Zhu will tell me the truth." Jin Qingyun smiled faintly. Though his expression was mild, Zhu Neng did not feel the slightest bit pleased. Instead, he felt that trouble was at hand.
"Y-yes, certainly. As long as the young heir needs it, this subordinate will report everything truthfully." Seeing the young heir's faint smile, Zhu Neng could not help but wipe the sweat from his brow. The young heir looked quite affable on the surface, but in truth he handled matters cleanly and decisively, and struck ruthlessly. Truly, like father, like son.
Jin Qingyun seemed rather proud of the fear he inspired in his subordinates. Back when he had wanted to strengthen his influence within the gang, he had directly killed a traitor who had fled from the organization. The scene had been truly spectacular. After that incident, Jin Qingyun's position in the gang was gradually cemented, and no one dared underestimate this young heir.
"Mm, good. Brother Zhu, regarding what happened tonight at Morning Dragon Club, does it have something to do with your people?" Jin Qingyun's tone remained calm, but beneath that calmness lay dissatisfaction. After all, the face of the Invincible Gang was paramount. How could it be allowed to be taken away by others?
"Yes, yes. Tonight one of my subordinates, Wu Tianlin, intended to go avenge a grievance, and he came to me for support. I sent Dog Egg to go with him, but in the end it still went wrong," Zhu Neng said somewhat dejectedly. He had originally thought it was only a small club, and that Dog Egg and Wu Tianlin would certainly be able to handle it. But in the end, they were still dealt with by someone else.
