Chapter 131: Chapter 116 The settings in the movie are still too modest

March 31st, nine in the morning.

After a recent personnel change, Xianghe Real Estate once again experienced some disturbances.

Puffing on a cigar, the man strutted as he flung open the doors to the company headquarters’ boardroom.

Although he hadn’t slept all night,

he appeared especially spirited this morning.

His steps were steady and forceful, each one exuding immense confidence and decisiveness.

Looking at the many directors around him, waiting anxiously for him to speak, he couldn’t help but reveal a smile.

His name was Tan Bingtang, the owner of the Heaven Nightclub.

In some sense, he was also the third in command of Xianghe Real Estate, which formerly was a gang organization; after all, the Heaven Nightclub was Xianghe’s primary industry before going legitimate, and not just anybody could handle it.

However, due to various struggles, he had gradually become a nominal third in command, only able to spend his days at the Heaven Nightclub, smoking cigars and reveling night after night.

But things were different now.

The First Master had died from illness, and the newly appointed Second Master had been killed by someone else.

Acting swiftly to implement a series of measures and taking over, addressing all resources and connections, he was no longer the ousted third in command pushed to the fringes of Xianghe’s power.

He was now truly the master of Xianghe.

Looking at the many anxious directors below, waiting for him to speak, Tan Bingtang couldn’t help but smile.

He had waited far too long for this day!

...

Not long after,

following the meeting where he had given some details after assuming his new role,

Tan Bingtang, sitting alone in the meeting room, couldn’t help but reminisce about last night’s events.

It was simple.

A fearsome figure had barged in, swiftly killed the two bodyguards of the Second Master, and then forcefully took the Second Master away.

Compared to their twisted and competing struggles, this straightforward action was a game-changer, momentarily confusing everyone about who still had gang ties.

But this had helped him greatly.

As the gradually ousted third in command, he had wanted countless times to return to the power center of Xianghe, to control this giant with both a publicly acknowledged market value of over ten billion and considerable undisclosed assets.

But the First Master, who died from illness, had ostracized him, and the newly appointed Second Master had also ostracized him, eventually leaving him to be in charge of the Heaven Nightclub, with no ties to Xianghe’s main current real estate business.

Tan Bingtang felt indignant; after all, he had fought his way up since the days when Xianghe was still a gang. Being pushed out of the power center was hard for him to accept.

He wanted to play hardball behind the scenes, but he never had the right opportunity.

That night, however,

as Tan Bingtang, bound in a corner, watched the Second Master being taken away by the fierce man he had offended, he knew.

He was doomed!

Nobody knew better than Tan Bingtang how ruthless and indifferent to life this fierce man was.

As the real wood table flew up and brushed past his body that night, Tan Bingtang, through the shower of scattered poker cards, caught a glimpse of that man’s eerily calm gaze.

What kind of look was that, which regarded one as completely insignificant?

Tan Bingtang had never seen such a look before, but he knew well that this fierce man’s gaze was full of contempt for everything around him, as if he placed himself above all.

And indeed,

just as Tan Bingtang had guessed, afterward, the Second Master indeed ended up dead.

After being untied and deep in thought on what to do next, when Tan Bingtang received the call from the Second Master and heard the command from that fierce man to handle the body and clean up, he didn’t hesitate at all.

If he didn’t go,

the next to die would likely be himself.

Tan Bingtang was very clear about this.

And suddenly, he realized it was an opportunity.

An opportunity to quickly gather connections and take over the resources from the Second Master, leveraging his existing position as the third in command to legitimately rise to power as the decision-maker of Xianghe, all before the new power contenders within Xianghe could even hear the news.

He just needed to pay the price of helping to dispose of the body and wrap up the follow-up work, allowing the Second Master’s death to sink like a stone in water.

He could easily secure this opportunity to rid himself of the Second Master, capitalize on the information gap, and successfully ascend.

So, why not do it?

Beyond that,

he also thought he might have gained a valuable chance for communication.

Since that fierce man had asked him to handle the aftermath, letting the matter casually fade away, perhaps there was a possibility of contacting and communicating with him to do something in the future?

After all, he had been particularly humble on the phone, almost openly expressing his desire to be a subordinate.

The reason he was so eager for that fierce man to command him wasn’t because he was masochistic.

But because that night, when he arrived at the villa district and saw the charred remains of the headless corpse in the Mercedes of the Second Master, with only half of its neck left, Tan Bingtang was deeply imprinted with the idea that he absolutely must not offend that fierce man.

He didn’t know how such a brutal thing was done—it was too cruel!

Such a manner of death chilled him to the bone.

Tan Bingtang did not have grandiose desires of receiving any help from that fierce man.

He just hoped that the fierce man would keep in touch, command him now and then, otherwise he always felt like his maneuver to seize power could be retaliated against, always felt a certain lightness to his life hanging in the balance,

Reflecting, Tan Bingtang couldn’t help but shudder.

Feeling light-headed wasn’t a joke; he genuinely believed that fierce man could take his life at any moment.

After all, when replaying the events afterward, he understood even more thoroughly just how terrifying that fierce man was.
