“Why do I listen to you? Why do you seem to know that someone from the Hongbei family is planning to rebel and usurp the throne?” Elder Liu’s interest was piqued by Chen Meng’er’s words. The intelligence network of the Green Gang had always listed the Hongbei family as an extremely dangerous group.
Therefore, when there was information about the Hongbei family, the intelligence team would transmit it to Zhuge Yu at the first possible moment, and Zhuge Yu would also transmit it to Elder Liu at the first possible moment.
However, Elder Liu could not remember if he had received any news that someone from the Hongbei family wanted to usurp the position of the family head and pull Hongbei Liang down. If Elder Liu knew, he would have taken the initiative to go up and help them.
From this, it could be seen how much Elder Liu hated Hongbei Liang. However, Elder Liu had to admit that Hongbei Liang was a character. Whether it was the management of Hongbei Liang’s family or his own skills, Hongbei Liang was meticulous.
“I happened to pass by and eavesdropped. However, the Hongbei family really has a lot of talents.” Chen Meng’er recalled last night that Hongbei Liang and his sons were very cautious. They turned off the lights in the middle of the night and discussed such a big matter.
“I knew it.” It was impossible for their intelligence network to be wrong. “However, Hongbei Yongye didn’t really notice that the person who always followed Hongbei Liang and flattered him was actually the one who tricked him in the end. I think that Hongbei Liang would be furious if he knew.”
No matter what, Chen Meng’er wasn’t interested in the final outcome of the Hongbei family.
However, Chen Meng’er was very interested in the conflict between her grandfather and the Hongbei family, or rather, Hongbei Liang.
“Grandpa, I’ve told you everything you want to know. Now it’s your turn to fulfill your promise.” Chen Meng’er blinked her eyes and looked at Elder Liu.
“Ah, what? Why don’t I remember?” Elder Liu wanted to shy away from the past by pretending to have lost his memory.
However, how could Chen Meng’er let him get what he wanted? “Grandpa, you’re setting a bad example. Maybe I’ll learn from you next time.”
“Okay, okay. I know I can’t escape from your demonic grasp.” When Elder Liu saw Chen Meng’er, he could only surrender.
Elder Liu’s feud with Hongbei Liang started during the war.
That year, Elder Liu had a comrade whom he had a close bond with. He was captured by the Japanese and injected with the poisonous reagent.
And in a fortuitous situation, Elder Liu learned from others that it was Hongbei Liang who captured his comrade back then and injected the poisonous reagent into his him. In other words, Hongbei Liang had killed Elder Liu’s comrade.
By the time Elder Liu learned of this news, he had already established the Green Gang, and the Green Gang’s influence in Japan had stabilized. The young and impetuous Elder Liu, filled with hatred for Hongbei Liang, led his men and barged into the Hongbei family, intending to avenge his comrade.
However, Elder Liu had underestimated Hongbei Liang’s strength, as well as the Hongbei family’s strength. In that battle, neither the Green Gang nor the Hongbei family had been able to gain any advantage. Both sides suffered heavy losses.
After this battle, Elder Liu and Hongbei Liang had gained a certain understanding of each other’s strength. They were also wary of each other and did not dare to make a move rashly.
It could be said that even though Elder Liu and Hongbei Liang had not fought for so many years, they had been paying attention to each other’s every move. Both of them were waiting for the day they could destroy each other.
