Brother Song was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "So, you really want to get rid of Lu Tao? Have you discussed this with the chairman? Does he agree with you? "
It turned out that Brother Song's real name was Song Xitang, the current deputy general manager of the O 'Neal Hotel Group. He was second only to the chairman, Liu Hong, and the general manager, Liu Feiyan. He came from the most remote mountainous area in Taolin County. The people there were tough, and it was common to practice martial arts. There were several martial arts masters in the old days, and it was famous in the country as the "Home of Martial Arts." Song Xitang had been practicing martial arts since he was young. Because of his high comprehension, his willingness to endure hardships, and the guidance of several martial arts masters, he was the runner-up of the Sanda Tournament in Nanjiang Province at the age of sixteen.
In the mid-nineties, Liu Hong resigned from his position as a high school teacher and founded a martial arts school in Taolin County. He hired Song Xitang, who was only in his twenties at the time, as the head martial arts instructor. Later, he promoted him to vice principal and principal, and let him be in charge of the management of the martial arts school. He retired behind the scenes as the chairman.
During this time, Liu Hong used the students of the martial arts school as the backbone and gradually formed a mafia-like gang. This gang was known for their fierce fighting and internal unity. In just three years, they had beaten the other gangs in Taolin County into submission and bowing their heads to them. Since then, Liu Hong's gang had monopolized the underground casinos and game halls in Taolin County, and they were involved in the entertainment industry, seizing a large amount of ill-gotten wealth.
At the same time, Liu Hong's eldest daughter became the mistress of Luo Qiulin, the director of the County Party Committee Office, and his second daughter, Liu Shuangyan, became the mistress of the County Party Committee Secretary at that time. This gave Liu Hong a strong backing in the "legal" world. From then on, he became more unscrupulous. In just a few years, the power and financial power of his group expanded rapidly. Liu Hong became the richest billionaire in Taolin County, and also the "Big Brother" of the underworld in the county …
Song Xitang, because of his high martial arts, generosity, and loyalty to Liu Hong, became the second most important person in the group, second only to Liu Hong. When he was young, he also led the people of the martial arts school to fight for Liu Hong's "career." Because of his high martial arts, courage, and wisdom, he was very famous in the underworld of Taolin County. Before he was thirty, he was respectfully called "Brother Song" by the underworld, and Liu Hong was called "Uncle Hong."
When the Liu O 'Neal Group was established, Liu Hong appointed Song Xitang as the group's deputy general manager. Since then, Song Xitang had rarely participated in the fighting and killing operations, devoting himself to the management of the hotel. According to the division of labor, he was mainly in charge of the internal management of the hotel group, and rarely showed himself in public. Liu Feiyan, the general manager, was in charge of external communication and relationship coordination.
Because Liu Hong relied heavily on Song Xitang, and Song Xitang's father had passed away very early, Song Xitang had been living in Liu Hong's house ever since he became the head instructor of the martial arts school. His mother was also in charge of cooking and cleaning in Liu Hong's house. Since Liu Hong only had three daughters and no sons, Song Xitang was essentially his adopted son.
Song Xitang had always looked down on Liu Hong's son-in-law, Li Weijun. He felt that this person was wretched on the outside and despicable on the inside. Therefore, when he and Liu Shuangyan had just gotten married, Song Xitang had always called him by his nickname, "Military Cruiser," and never called him by his name. It was not until later that Li Weijun became the mayor and the secretary of the town party committee that he changed the way he addressed him. However, he still called him by his name and was not willing to call him "mayor" or "secretary."
As for Li Weijun, with the promotion of his official position and financial resources, he had become more and more arrogant in recent years. He had always been arrogant and bossy to the other executives and employees of the O 'Neal Group. However, he had an instinctive fear of Song Xitang. Usually, when he met Song Xitang, he would take the initiative to greet him respectfully. Sometimes, he was even more respectful than his father-in-law. Moreover, when he did those shady things that harmed people, he had to find ways to avoid Song Xitang.
For example, when he planned to "kill" Lu Tao this time, he did not dare to mobilize the internal security of the O 'Neal Group, because these security guards were all under Song Xitang's management. Once he used the security guards to kill Lu Tao, Song Xitang would be the first to know. He would definitely obstruct him and even scold him. Therefore, he would rather spend one million to hire another underworld boss, Kang Laowu, than use the security forces of the O 'Neal Group.
But he never expected that Song Xitang would know about it in the end and call to question him …
When he heard Song Xitang ask if Liu Hong knew about the murder of Lu Tao, Li Weijun did not dare to lie and answered truthfully, "I haven't had time to tell the chairman, but Lu Tao, this little bastard, is a great threat to the O 'Neal Group. His backer is Secretary Huang Hongyi of the Songshan Municipal Party Committee. If we don't get rid of him early, our group may suffer a disaster. The chairman also hates Lu Tao now and is thinking of ways to deal with him.
"My idea is that if we don't kill Lu Tao, one day he will put us all in prison. This is a life-and-death struggle. If we don't kill Lu Tao now, we will be killed by him in the future. So, we must strike first to gain the upper hand. Brother Song, you can rest assured that it was my idea to kill Lu Tao. It was also my plan and implementation. It has nothing to do with you. In case something happens, I will take responsibility and will not involve the chairman and you. The reason why I didn't tell you and the chairman about this plan in advance is also because I don't want to involve you. "
Song Xitang snorted and hit the nail on the head, "You really don't want to involve us? In my opinion, not necessarily! The reason why you didn't want to tell us in advance is because you know that once I know about this, I will definitely oppose your reckless and brainless action. The chairman may not agree with your ridiculous idea. Think about it: How big of a storm would it cause by murdering a local tax bureau official? You just said that Lu Tao's backer is Secretary Huang of the Songshan Municipal Party Committee. If you kill Lu Tao, do you think Secretary Huang will let it go? Will he let you go? At that time, not only will you not be able to escape the law, but the chairman and us, the backbone of the group, will definitely be caught in one fell swoop. No matter how big your backer is, it will be useless. Tell me, how big of a disaster do you want to bring to the chairman and the O 'Neal Group? That would truly be a calamity! "
