The crackdown on organized crime began with the arrest of the mother-in-law.

Chapter 789 The Casino in the Northern Suburbs Mine

As for the reasons given by Tang Zhentian, Tang Haobing felt that all his efforts over the past ten years had been in vain, and that he had not received any attention from his father.

Tang Zhentian actually said that his methods were too extreme. Sihai Group had worked hard to get to where it is today, and from now on it should walk the straight path and not get involved in any gray industries.

Furthermore, certain relationships need to be severed, and the entire Sihai Group needs to be gradually transformed from a gray industry into a legitimate business group, even if it comes at a cost and involves giving up some high-profit industries.

However, the most profitable sectors for Sihai Group over the years have been real estate, mining, and energy, and these industries have only seen significant growth in the last decade or so. This means that such substantial development only occurred after Tang Haobing gradually took over Sihai Group. In recent years, thanks to these industries, Sihai Group has generated over 10 billion yuan in profit annually—that's 10 billion yuan, not 10 yuan.

Now Tang Zhentian is actually going to gradually abandon these industries and hand over the entire Sihai Group to Tang Haorui to manage. What have I been doing all these years?

Back then, Tang Haorui's family was poor, so he dropped out of school to help his father work in the mines to supplement the family income.

Later, as the family's financial situation improved, Tang Haorui and his younger siblings didn't actually suffer much hardship. Tang Haorui, in particular, was sent abroad after high school because of his good grades, and he has been living a life of luxury and extravagance overseas ever since, receiving tens of millions of yuan every year.

Why should the eldest brother be the one to fight on the front lines when it's time to conquer the world, but now that it's time to divide the family property and determine the heir, all the businesses are to be handed over to the second son, who is said to be able to lead the Sihai Group back on track.

Bullshit!

The old man is just biased.

He is old.

Not only is his health failing, but he is also becoming increasingly confused.

Although Tang Haobing was furious inside, he forced himself to remain calm on the surface and smiled as he looked at his second brother, Tang Haorui.

"I was just about to ask about it today, but I didn't expect the old man to make the first move. But if the old man makes a move, he definitely won't leave any loose ends, so you don't need to worry about this anymore. I'll talk to everyone about what happens next, and see if we need to find some people to communicate with the Public Security Bureau again. The new Director Qin is a bit difficult to talk to, but he should listen to what the higher-ups say. We can use our connections and have a meal with him, and that should be enough."

Tang Haorui didn't say anything more. His visit to Tang Haobing's villa was a show of force, partly to let him know he was out, and partly to let him know that his release was thanks to the old man's influence. Of course, in reality, the old man hadn't taken any action, yet he was already out. But Tang Haorui knew very well that Tang Haobing would be jealous, which would lead him to make a mistake. And right now, what Tang Haorui was most hoping for was Tang Haobing making a mistake.

The two ended their conversation in what appeared to be a harmonious atmosphere, and Tang Haorui left immediately.

boom!

The precious porcelain was smashed to pieces by Tang Haobing.

It seems we need to think of some other methods, and we need to speed things up.

It really doesn't work...

snort!

Second brother, don't blame your elder brother for being ruthless. It's just that you shouldn't have come back at this time.

And it's fine if you come back, but wouldn't it be better to just stay home and live a peaceful life? Why do you have to fight me for the inheritance of the Sihai Group?

After leaving Tang Haobing's villa, Tang Haorui glanced back, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.

He left home and went abroad, but he wanted to come back after a short time.

After finally completing his studies, he wanted to come back, but his older brother wouldn't let him, and neither would his father.

Tang Haorui actually suffered some hardships outside. Although he was rich, it wasn't enough to just have money. Some thugs took advantage of him because he was an outsider.

It was precisely because he was often bullied by foreigners while studying abroad that Tang Haorui later joined the mafia organization.

All those who had bullied him were skinned alive and drowned in the sea by Tang Haorui.

After leaving Tang Haobing's villa, Tang Haorui began his collaboration with Qin Chuan.

In recent years, Tang Haorui has also developed some subordinates in China, and has a group of loyal followers around him.

"Expose those two casinos in the North Suburb Mine."

"Yes!"

In fact, Tang Haorui had access to a lot of information about shady dealings within the industries managed by Tang Haobing.

Originally, he wasn't too keen on a complete falling out, intending to take over the Sihai Group step by step according to the old man's plan. In fact, the old man's idea was correct; although Tang Haorui did very ruthless things abroad, he had always conducted business legally in China.

Despite the significant increase in profits at the hotels managed by Tang Haorui, the reality is that all the illegal activities related to prostitution, gambling, and drugs have been eradicated. In recent years, the hotels Tang Haorui has operated have been very legitimate. The reason for the substantial profit increase is due to his focus on improving service and facilities. With more customers and higher quality accommodations, naturally more people will choose to stay.

Previously, under Tang Haobing's management, these hotels were practically a complete mess.

Although we earned a lot back then, we also had to pay a lot in taxes to our superiors, since we were involved in a lot of gambling, prostitution, and drugs.

Tang Zhentian knew very well that he was still alive and that some people who had risen to high positions would still give him face. But if he were to die one day and the leverage he held over them could no longer be used to control them, that would be the time when the Tang family would perish, and Tang Haobing would have no ability to resist.

This is the fundamental reason why Tang Zhentian wanted to hand over the Sihai Group to Tang Haorui. The Sihai Group is simply too big a pie. While he was alive, he could keep things in check, but if he died, there would be many forces that wanted to carve out a piece of the Sihai Group.

Therefore, abandoning all illegal and irregular businesses and focusing solely on legal and compliant operations is the only way forward for the Sihai Group. His sons aren't deeply involved yet, and even Tang Haobing hasn't let anything too serious happen. In other words, even if some major incidents did occur, he's already dealt with them cleanly. As long as they can live peacefully and steadily, that's more important than anything else.

Unfortunately, Tang Haobing did not understand Tang Zhentian's thoughts.

The battle between the two brothers began.

That afternoon, the police conducted a surprise search of the mine in the northern suburbs and indeed discovered two casinos.

The North Suburbs Mine, belonging to a mining company under the Sihai Group, had long been abandoned. Seven years ago, Tang Haobing transformed it into an underground casino.

It's been taken down now.
