Chapter 250 Rules are rules, and no one is exempt.
Li Zhengkai's words were sincere and resonant.
After he finished speaking, he ignored the surprised looks from everyone present.
He slammed his forehead heavily against the ground, completely abandoning his former demeanor as the leader of a gang.
Li Zhengkai felt completely at ease; those words he had just spoken were the most sincere he could think of.
If this still can't move the young master in front of him, then it seems that Li Zhengkai's fate has run out today!
It's nothing more than death, but thinking of the wealth and fortune accumulated by the Giant Whale Gang over generations...
He was about to fall into the hands of that beast Li Tianhao, and a sense of sorrow inevitably welled up in his heart.
"Would you be willing to serve as my henchman?"
Dan Tianxie raised an eyebrow slightly, first showing surprise, then came to his senses and muttered it twice.
The more he read, the brighter his eyes became...
Dan Tianxie thought Li Tianhao was already an old and shrewd man, and his reaction speed was astonishing.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhengkai was no less capable than anyone else!
It even implies that the student has surpassed the teacher...
Moreover, Li Zhengkai's reading of this book hadn't been in vain; his way of speaking was indeed quite different.
They have such a good vocabulary! Look at their choice of words, "hawks and hounds"!
It sounds impressive but incomprehensible!
Previously, he had been considering whether to change his plan and support Li Tianhao to take the position, based on Li Tianhao's performance.
As a result of Li Zhengkai's actions, it became clear that comparing goods is like throwing them away, and comparing people is like dying.
I'm sorry, Li Tianhao, but Li Zhengkai really said too much!
However, despite saying that, Shan Tianxie did not completely change his mind because of a single sentence.
Instead, it was a decision made after careful consideration, for three reasons.
Firstly, Li Zhengkai had been the gang leader for so long, even if he had neglected gang affairs somewhat before, which allowed Li Tianhao to seize power.
However, Li Zhengkai is ultimately the rightful heir, which will save a lot of trouble later on.
Secondly, as the power base of the First Prince of the Vast Ocean Kingdom, if Li Zhengkai continues to be the leader of the Giant Whale Gang,
It can also serve to lull the eldest prince into a false sense of security. If they were to support another prince to ascend the throne later, it would be like planting a thorn in the enemy's side from the outset!
As for the last point, he was still somewhat disgusted by Li Tianhao's collusion with Japan.
As the saying goes, "love me, love my dog," so it's natural to hate me, and in his eyes, Japan was a place that should be destroyed.
Previously, it was only because Li Zhengkai was incompetent that Li Tianhao was chosen to stabilize the situation.
But since Li Zhengkai is now a promising talent, why make things difficult for yourself?
Having made up his mind, Shan Tianxie slowly walked up to Li Zhengkai and looked down at him.
"As the saying goes, hawks and hounds are a common sight, but unfortunately, I only need hawks that soar high, not dogs that wag their tails and beg for mercy! Do you understand this?"
"Zhengkai, I understand!"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhengkai breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally overcome this hurdle.
"Ah."
Upon seeing this, Shan Tianxie nodded slightly, then took out a jet-black pill from his pocket, tossed it casually, and the pill traced an arc in the air before landing in front of Li Zhengkai.
"Eat it, and you'll be one of us from now on."
"Yes!"
Li Zhengkai didn't even blink. He picked up the pill without any hesitation and then swallowed it.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Shan Tianxie curled his lips into a playful smile, pointed at Li Tianhao beside him, and casually said, "Whether he is an eagle or not depends on how you deal with him."
After saying that, Shan Tianxie flashed to the side and waited with great interest.
He wanted to see how Li Zhengkai would deal with his uncle who was trying to usurp the throne!
Upon hearing this, Li Zhengkai was slightly taken aback, then came to his senses. He slowly bent down, picked up the long knife beside him, and stared at Li Tianhao.
Li Tianhao, however, seemed to have become a puppet, staring blankly at his great nephew.
Unexpectedly, one wrong move and the whole game is lost!
I underestimated my good nephew!
Who would have thought that my nephew, who looks like a refined scholar and has thick eyebrows and big eyes, only knows how to play the zither, chess, calligraphy and painting?
But when it came to this critical moment of life and death, they started saying flattering things, one after another, and actually turned the tide!
He looked at Li Zhengkai, a complex expression flashing across his eyes.
There was resentment, regret, bitterness, and a hint of satisfaction at realizing something.
"Good nephew, I didn't know you had this trick up your sleeve! It seems you've won this time!"
Li Tianhao's tone was cold, like the chilly winter wind.
"You can't learn something from a lifetime of being taught by a person, but you can learn it after just one lesson."
Li Zhengkai spoke slowly, then a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"This is all thanks to my uncle. Uncle, do you want me to send you off, or do you want to leave on your own?"
The word "uncle" sounded strangely comical at that moment, as the uncle-nephew relationship between them had completely vanished.
"Hahaha, you think Yagyu Tajima-no-kami is your uncle's real backer?"
Li Tianhao seemed to have gone mad, his eyes shooting out an extremely venomous light, as if he wanted to devour Li Zhengkai alive.
"Just wait for that person to come and kill you! Your uncle will be waiting for you in the underworld!"
"Hmm? Explain yourself!"
Li Zhengkai frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart, but it was too late for him to make a move.
After Li Tianhao finished speaking, he drew his long sword from his waist without hesitation and then slashed it fiercely at his own neck.
In an instant, blood splattered out, and Li Tianhao's body slowly fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Li Zhengkai stared at Li Tianhao's slowly collapsing body, his brows furrowed.
He didn't know who Li Tianhao's real backer was at the end.
However, looking back on everything, I couldn't find any clues for a while.
After a moment, Li Zhengkai realized that it didn't matter who your backer was or what your relationship was with him.
Just because you, Li Tianhao, have powerful backers doesn't mean I don't.
After thinking it through, Li Zhengkai suppressed those thoughts in his heart, turned to face Shan Tianxie, and knelt on one knee.
"Thank you for your kindness, young master. I will live up to your expectations and will reorganize the Giant Whale Gang to serve you faithfully."
Dan Tianxie nodded and then instructed them to prepare to go to Hanhai City in the next two days, and told Li Zhengkai to go and make the preparations.
After Li Tianhao accepted the order and left,
Dan Tianxie then turned his gaze to Shangguan Haitang, who had been left standing to the side for a long time. He walked up to her and looked her up and down with a half-smile.
"What, does Young Master Shan want Haitang to take medicine too?"
"Rules are rules, and no one is exempt."
Dan Tianxie nodded slightly and said with a serious expression.
Gu Santong, who was standing to the side, smiled slightly upon hearing this.
