The Southern China Gang, particularly the Meng clan, may be the first biggest gang in China but they were only active in the Central Plains.
In the eyes of other newer gangs, the Southern China Gang was able to maintain their power by depending on their deep-rooted influence and they never opposed the government. In fact, they were actually getting on the good side of the party.
However, that wasnât just some foolish impression they had on them. The gang couldnât stay strong if they kept a low profile without having any actual abilities.
Regardless of the time, whether it was during the time of war or now, the status of the Southern China Gang had been impregnable.
As for the Meng clan, they were able to lead other clans because of something they have kept hidden for years. That was their trump card.
Even so, for an ancient clan to survive in the modern world, there was a need to swallow their pride to maintain the awkward relationship with the government.
Although other people would have forgotten about the trump card that had been passed down by the ancestors of the Meng clan for centuries, the elders knew better, especially the patriarchs whose clan was under the rule of the Meng clan.
They would never reveal their trump card until the last second.
However, there was a limit to keeping a low profile. Someone had barged into their ancestral hall and if they had still persisted to keep a low profile, the Meng clan would have to end their own lives!
Under the lead of Meng Kaiyuan, the elite troops of the Southern China Gang took out submachine guns from the hidden spot and set out for the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall was located in the middle of the mansion and they could easily access it through three archways.\nThe moment they reached the first arch, gasps escaped their mouth when the scene unfolded in front of them.
The first archway was broken forcefully, where the sides and the top crashed into bits, causing debris to cover the floor!
It was obvious that the truck had run into the archway mercilessly!
Meng Kaiyuan was furious and the rest of the clan members were sprouting out curses angrily.
They quickly rushed to the path leading to the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall was built with rock pillars to support the architrave and the frame of the hall. There were four pillars around the three floors and near the third floor were three plaques pinned onto the architrave.
The lines were graceful and with the eaves complementing each other, it was an icon of nobility for the Meng clan.
Unfortunately, this was all ruined by a truck that stopped right at the entrance of the ancestral hall. Chips of paint were scraped off the truck and the windscreen was broken to shards!
Before Meng Kaiyuan arrived with others, the guards already had the culprit surrounded.
It was blatantly obvious that Yang Chen was the one who crashed into the hall.
Yang Chen was getting annoyed from waiting and he happily patted the dust off his pants as he got up. While standing on the stairs, Yang Chen spat out his cigarette.
Zhang Ling and Meng Zhexin were aghast and confused to see him here.
Meng Kaiyuan seemed to be in disbelief that the culprit was a young man. He eyed Yang Chen up and down and smiled, âYouâre a bold one. Who are you?â
âFather, thereâs no need to ask. Just kill him.â Meng Que tightened his fist and cracked his knuckles, ready to attack.
âScram! I didnât say you could talk!â Meng Kaiyuan kicked his son.\nYang Chen was surprised. Although his divine sense was weaker than before, he could tell from Meng Kaiyuanâs movement and strength that he had cultivation.
As expected, they couldnât be an ordinary gang.
Even so, he didnât have time to deal with him as he diverted his gaze towards Zhang Ling.
âOy, Zhang, I texted you. Do you really think I wouldnât dare to burn your house down? So? Would you like to kowtow to me now?â
While saying so, Yang Chen lit another cigarette.
He wasnât craving for a whiff of cigarette but he needed it to use the things in his car.
Zhang Lingâs legs were trembling and people finally placed their gazes on her.
Meng Qin was reminded of the text and he reprimanded his wife, âZhang Ling, what is going on?!â
Zhang Ling didnât dare to hide the truth anymore and she kneeled facing Meng Kaiyuan while bawling, âFather! Iâve wronged you, Iâve wronged the Meng clan but I had my reasons!!â
She was good at acting, being able to shed tears within seconds.
âTell me what happened.â Meng Kaiyuan said flatly.
Zhang Ling immediately reiterated the whole story with exaggeration.
She turned the whole story upside down, saying that Li Jingjing seduced Meng Zhexin for his position. She went and persuaded the Li family but they mistreated her and even crashed her car so her subordinates crashed Li Jingjingâs car.
After that, Li Jingjing was arrested and she ended up hooking up with Yang Chen.
âFather! How can I kowtow to an outsider as a daughter-in-law of the Meng clan? Iâve told the police officers that Iâll send them gifts as an apology but he wouldnât accept it! I didnât expect this to happen! Father, itâs all my fault, please punish me!â Zhang Ling played the mind games and feigned a pitiful expression.\nThose who were familiar with her personality knew that she must have made up the story but regardless of the truth, she was still part of the Meng clan. If she kowtowed to a Yang clan member, wouldnât they be inferior to the Yang clan?
Nothing mattered more than reputation. Itâs a small thing to send some gifts and say some good words of apology to someone, but they couldnât be an embarrassment to the Meng clan!
After all, Zhang Ling dealt with Yang Chenâs lover, not his wife or someone that was actually part of the Yang clan.
Meng Kaiyuanâs expression was unreadable whereas everyone else was tossing weird glances at Yang Chen. Some of them had heard about his brutality and how he murdered Liang Shengchuan and his family.
Plenty of clans and forces had been calling him a violent psycho.
No one expected their first meeting would be him driving a truck into their ancestral hall!
Now that they were aware of Yang Chenâs identity, they no longer glared at him in fury. Some were curious, some were impressed and some were suspicious of his motive.
âKid, I know youâve great abilities but you overstepped the boundaries this time.â Meng Kaiyuan spoke up.
Yang Chen didnât answer him, thinking that there was no point to it. He walked to the back of the truck and opened the door.
The moment the items within the truck were revealed, the Meng clan and gang members were bewildered!
They were all explosives?!
âSir, these are just some rock explosives, itâs not very powerful but itâs still dangerousâŚâ Bai He immediately recognised the explosives since he was familiar with underground trades.
Liu Qingshan couldnât get C4 or RDX military explosives but he was crazy enough to get a truck full of rock explosives.\nThe cigarette held between Yang Chenâs lips had turned into a terrifying spark!
Yang Chen turned around and grinned excitedly, âHow about this? They might not be the best but this whole truck of explosives should be more than enough to bomb the ancestral hall down. Weâll be having an exciting firework show today.â
âYouâŚZhang Ling, how could you do this?!â Meng Qin yelled at his wife, pretending that he knew nothing about this just in case his father would blame him.
âHmph! Meng Qin, donât you dare try to get out of this!â Zhang Lingâs father, Zhang Yun snorted, âYouâre a coward. Zhexin wouldnât have gotten himself involved with some random woman if you had paid more attention to him, and this wouldnât have happened!â
Having heard his insult, Yang Chen immediately looked at Zhang Yun with a cold expression.
Zhang Yun cared less about his reaction, âWhere are you looking at?! You think youâre the best just because youâre the young master of the Yang clan?! Youâve barged into the Southern China Gang. This isnât Beijing! Donât you dare ignite the explosive or else Iâll push it down your throat!â\n
