Chapter 57: Tan Haitao's Scheming (Seeking Bookmarks)

  Watching Wang Mingde stir up trouble in Weidong County, his prestige grew day by day, and a large number of officials were secretly or openly surrendering to him. Gradually, there was a trend of emptying himself. Zhao Zhenhua felt more and more uncomfortable, but the background of Wang Mingde was much stronger than his. Although he had the heart to make some trouble for him, every time at the critical moment, he always hesitated because of the adverse consequences that might arise from it, so he gave up. In his heart, he hated the butcher's face even more!

  But Tan Haitao has yet to make any move, and the business of that beef noodle restaurant is getting better and better, even opening branches in surrounding counties and cities. This is really something Uncle can tolerate but Auntie cannot!

  "Tan Haitao, what did you tell me before the Spring Festival? We can't move Wang Mingde, can't we even take down a small noodle shop?" Zhao Zhenhua was furious after receiving the news that Zhang's Beef Noodle Shop had opened branches in surrounding counties and cities, and he dialed Tan Haitao's phone number, yelling at him.

  Tan Haitao's original plan was to gather the entire Black Tiger Gang's strength and take action against the Wolf Association after the New Year, but during a phone call with a trusted subordinate, he inadvertently said something that shocked Tan Haitao greatly, making him dare not to easily take action against the Wolf Association. Instead, he put all his energy into thoroughly controlling his subordinates.

  After he secretly sent someone to teach a lesson to Wang Lao Wu and several others who were close to Yang Xiao Tian, these guys on the surface began to show respect for him again, and all of them swore an oath to promise that they would never get too close to Yang Xiao Tian in the future, even if he stuffed money into their hands, but whether there was still resentment in their hearts is unknown.

  For this reason, he must think of a way to eliminate Yang Xiao Tian, the heart of the Black Tiger Gang, otherwise, he would be hard-pressed to feel at ease. After receiving Zhao Zhenhua's phone call, Tan Haitao suddenly had an idea.

  "Secretary Zhao, there was a problem in the village recently, so I didn't have time to deal with them. Now that the problem is solved, I can take care of those scattered ones. Just wait for my good news!" Tan Haitao made this promise directly to Zhao Zhenhua without further explanation.

  "Haitao! You can't personally sit in the gang now, you must prevent someone from taking advantage of the fire!" Zhao Zhenhua, a cunning old man, immediately heard the problem from Tan Haitao's words and reminded him with a heavy heart. After all, there were still many common interests between them, and after Ma Jianbang was killed, Tan Haitao became his only money tree.

  "Secretary Zhao, don't worry! If anyone wants to snatch food from Tan Haitao's bowl, let's see if they have the ability!" Tan Haitao said with a ferocious expression.

  "Alright, I'll be waiting for your good news then!" After hanging up the phone, Zhao Zhenhua took out his SIM card and threw it out of the window.

  After hanging up the phone, Tan Haitao thought carefully and called Zhang Jian, the leader of his thirteen bodyguards. This Zhang Jian was one of the best fighters in the Black Tiger Gang and also one of the most loyal to him. Only by letting him personally execute this plan could he feel at ease. Like Wang Lao Wu and those guys, they had already been listed as untrustworthy objects in his mind and it was absolutely impossible for them to know these crucial details.

  "Boss, what are your orders?" came Zhang Jian's crisp and powerful voice from the other end of the phone.

  "Lao Jian, I have a task for you to complete. If you succeed, the position of deputy leader of the Black Tiger Gang will be yours!"

  Tan Haitao first threw a big pie to Zhang Jian, because from Wang Lao Wu and others he also reflected on himself. In recent years, he has been too harsh on his subordinates, caring too little about their lives and income, which made them easily hit by Yang Xiaotian's sugar-coated shells.

  "Boss, just give the order! As for the deputy leader position, I don't care about it!" Zhang Jian was a straightforward Northwest Han man. He had been following Tan Haitao with loyalty because in his most difficult time, Tan Haitao helped him out, not for the sake of the so-called deputy leader position.

  "I'm going to wipe out those scoundrels from the Wolf Gang, but this time I must get Yang Xiao Tian to lead the team and take care of it!" Tan Hai Tao's words suddenly revealed his intention, but he still habitually left half of what he wanted to say unspoken, aiming to test Zhang Jian's reaction.

  "Let Deputy Master Yang lead the team? Then why did you say that this task should be handed over to me?" Zhang Jian, who was straightforward in character, couldn't hear the deeper meaning in Tan Haitao's words and directly expressed his doubts on the phone.

  As for Zhang Jian's reaction, Tan Haitao was very satisfied. From his straightforward inquiry about the reason, it can be seen that there is no connection between him and Yang Xiao Tian. Moreover, he has a slight disrespect for Yang Xiao Tian's leadership, which can be seen from his subconscious direct question without any thinking.

  "Lao Jian, on the surface, I'll let Yang Xiao Tian take charge of this matter, but behind the scenes, our brothers will all be looking to you for cues and taking action. With your prestige among the brothers, it shouldn't be difficult to achieve this, right?" Tan Hai Tao guided the conversation back on track, one sentence at a time.

  "Older brother, what do you mean?" At this time, Zhang Jian could hear some different tones even if he was very straightforward and silly.

  "If Yang Xiao Tian brings your thirteen Taibao and eight Golden Eagles, as well as his four Great Evil Wolves, and can't even take down a small Wolf Group, do you think he has the face to stay in our Black Tiger Gang? Even if he has the ability to wipe out the Wolf Group for me, wouldn't you let the brothers give him some leeway first, and have him and his four Great Evil Wolves go fight to the death with the Wolf Group before coming up?" Tan Hai Tao finally revealed his entire plan to Zhang Jian at this point.

  "Alright, I understand what to do! The Wolf Gang will be destroyed, Yang Xiao Tian and his four top henchmen, I'll find a way to take care of them too!" Zhang Jian was also a ruthless character, after understanding Tan Hai Tao's words, he directly guaranteed to Tan Hai Tao.

  "Well, I just wanted to hear you say that!" Tan Haitao hung up the phone with satisfaction and then redialed Yang Xiao Tian's number.

  "Big brother, how have you been lately? I've been worried about you all along!" Yang Xiao Tian hastily put on an excited tone and asked with concern over the phone after receiving Tan Hai Tao's call.

  "Brother Xiao Tian, I'm fine, thank you for your concern. Lately, it's inconvenient for me to show up, so I'll have to entrust the matters of our organization to you. However, there is one thing that must be handled by you personally, and it's something you've been looking forward to for a long time!"
