Chapter 366 Don’t offend the river
Brother Ji raised his hands and scratched the back of his head, looking relieved. While scratching, he made excuses, "This damn weather is really uncomfortable. My scalp is always itchy. It seems I need to change my shampoo..."
Brother Ji was like a clown trying hard to immerse himself in his own world, performing hard under the spotlight. As for the ridicule from the onlookers, he simply chose to ignore it.
It feels like everyone else is awake, but I am the only one who is drunk.
Such clownish behavior not only made the younger brothers of Hutchison Whampoa look at him with contempt, but even the younger brothers of Hung Hing felt ashamed. They all subconsciously lowered their heads and dared not look anymore.
"This is still a veteran of Hongxing. If this is how one can become a veteran, then I think I can be one too."
"Forget about it. Forget about being a veteran. You even have trouble peeing."
The Hongxing brothers' chattering made Brother Ji's face turn red immediately, and it was obvious that he was feverish.
Faced with this situation, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't stand it.
Fortunately, Jiang Tianyang spoke at the right time and rescued Brother Ji.
"Brother Dadi, this is not the place to talk. Why don't we go inside and talk in detail?"
The main purpose of Jiang Tianyang's words was, of course, not to help Brother Ji out of trouble, but to test Da Bo's bottom line, or Wei Longhao's attitude.
In his opinion, if Hutchison wants to fight to the bottom, the bottom should definitely not be like it is now.
"Then I'd better obey your command." Dadi nodded and did not refuse.
Just when Jiang Tianyang was secretly happy, Dadi changed the subject and spoke again, "However, before we go into the house to discuss in detail, Mr. Jiang, please hand over the personnel list and account books of Hongxing to me first."
"Also, immediately issue an order to withdraw all personnel from the subordinate sites, and let Hutchison take over the full control."
"Otherwise, there is no need for us to sit down and talk."
Although, Dadi wanted to appear as calm and composed as possible, just like Brother Hao usually does.
However, even though he tried his best, he still couldn't learn even a third of the essence.
Not only does it have nothing to do with the four words "calm and gentle", but it also seems a bit too much, giving people the feeling of being full of threats without any room for maneuver.
The moment he said this, Dadi knew that he had messed up, but since Brother Hao had given the matter to him, he had to hold on no matter what.
After realizing this, Dadi once again felt endless admiration for Brother Hao.
Normally, he felt that for Brother Hao to do this kind of thing was not as easy as breathing, but at best it was no different from drinking water or eating.
However, when he actually started, he found out how difficult it was.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in Hongxing changed their expressions.
The people at the bottom of the society were fine, they just felt that the bullying was a bit too much, and apart from humiliation, they didn't have much other feeling.
But it’s different for senior management. They know more and naturally think more.
It is understandable that they handed over the territory. After all, Hutchison made such a big fuss and sent so many people to carry out a surprise attack. It would be strange if they did not gain any benefits.
But what does it mean to hand over personnel rosters and account books?
This means that Wei Longhao intends to take advantage of this opportunity to take down Hongxing in one fell swoop!
From ancient times to the present, for any organization, no matter its size, the importance of personnel and financial power is self-evident!
If you lose territory, you still have a chance to fight it back. If the worst comes to worst, you can just spend money to redeem it. The social societies will also use the system of ceding land and paying compensation.
However, if the personnel and financial power are controlled by Wei Longhao, Hongxing will never have a chance to rise again!
After realizing this, the faces of the Hongxing executives looked very grim.
But no one is strong enough in the current situation, and they dare not say much. They can only focus their attention on Jiang Tianyang.
After all, now that Jiang Tiansheng is not around, according to nominal orthodoxy, Jiang Tianyang has the final say.
"I'm sorry, but I'm the boss of Hongxing now, so I don't know where the things you mentioned are."
Jiang Tianyang was naturally not stupid. He found a plausible excuse and rejected it.
No matter what, Hung Hing was the business founded by his father, and he would definitely not agree to hand it over to outsiders.
No matter how the two brothers fight, even if they go a little too far sometimes, the result is nothing but meat rot in the pot.
After all, you can't write two "Jiang" characters with one stroke.
However, if Hongxing was taken away by Wei Longhao, that would be a completely different matter and the nature would be completely different.
What's more, Jiang Tiansheng hasn't shown up yet, so it's still unknown who will win.
Hearing this, Dadi sneered and said meaningfully, "Mr. Jiang, I would like to talk to you for a moment. Is that convenient?"
Jiang Tianyang had no idea what Dadi was up to, so he nodded in agreement immediately.
Anyway, there are so many people standing here, and he doesn't believe that the other party dares to attack him in public.
Jiang Tiansheng followed Dadi for a few steps and left the crowd, but still remained in everyone's sight.
After estimating that people should not be able to hear the conversation at this distance, Dadi stopped, lowered his voice, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, to be honest, your boss Jiang Tiansheng will definitely not be back tonight."
"If you insist on talking, maybe he will appear in your dream seven days later."
"However, when that time comes, it may not be a good thing for you..."
Hearing Dadi's words, which were intended to cover up the truth but could not be more clear, Jiang Tianyang was immediately shocked and subconsciously froze in place, like a statue, motionless.
The Hongxing people who were watching not far away saw this scene. Although they were confused, they did not dare to say anything.
After all, Hutchison's younger brothers were standing by with weapons in their hands, watching with eager eyes.
Seeing this scene, Brother Ji subconsciously reached into the inside pocket of his shirt, wanting to smoke a cigarette to relieve his nervous mood.
The next second, two machetes flashing with cold light were placed on Brother Ji's neck.
"Plop! What are you doing?"
"Take your hands out, quick!"
Such a sudden scene made everyone in Hongxing a little confused, and all their attention was focused on Brother Ji.
After all, in their impression, Brother Ji has always been timid and fearful, and he doesn't look like someone who would have the courage to stand up at a time like this.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding..."
"I just want to smoke a cigarette..."
Brother Ji was frightened and trembled. He subconsciously raised his hands, looked sad, and spoke stutteringly.
Of course, He Ji's younger brother would not believe his one-sided story. After searching carefully, he removed the machete from Ji Ge's neck.
"Just smoke if you want to. You look so nervous. It makes you look like a guilty thief..."
"You're lucky if you weren't shot dead."
Faced with the scolding from Hutchison's younger brothers, Brother Ji did not dare to retort and just nodded and bowed in response.
Seeing his look, Hutchison's brothers lost interest and stopped talking nonsense to such a coward.
At this time, Jiang Tianyang also came out of his shock. His lips were trembling slightly uncontrollably, and his sadness was evident in his words.
He grasped his collar with his left hand, reached into his pocket with his right hand, took out a pack of Jian cigarettes, took out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth.
Afterwards, Jiang Tianyang touched his pockets with trembling hands, trying to find the lighter.
But after groping for a long time, there was nothing.
His mood became more and more irritable.
Seeing this, Dadi took out a lighter and lit it.
Jiang Tianyang patted the back of his hand and took a deep breath. Under the effect of nicotine, he gradually calmed down, but the sadness on his face still lingered.
He exhaled a puff of smoke and slowly said, "He, is dead?" Dadi nodded slightly and said, "Do I need to lie to you about this kind of thing?"
"I believe you can see this news on the evening news."
Jiang Tianyang did not continue to dwell on this topic, but instead asked, "Did you do it?"
Facing this question, Dadi's heart trembled slightly, but thinking of Brother Hao's instructions before he left, he took a deep breath, tried not to look so nervous, and said, "What? Is the answer to this question very important to you?"
"Or do you plan to avenge your boss?"
After saying this, Dadi was filled with emotion again. What on earth is wrong with Brother Hao's head?
Not only could he predict Jiang Tianyang's reaction in advance, he could even guess what he would say, so he could tell him how to deal with it in advance.
This incredible operation is completely beyond the acceptable range of the sole.
As a person who is not too cunning, when he saw Brother Hao's operation, he was simply amazed and regarded it as a miracle!
After all, in Dadi's opinion, as long as you have money and connections, it is enough to make a living. He really cannot adapt to these brain-intensive operations.
Hearing this, Jiang Tianyang looked at Dadi deeply. With his shrewdness, he could of course tell that these words were probably not something Dadi thought of himself.
Judging from Dadi's poor performance just now, he is definitely not a cunning guy.
So, who told Dadi this?
Thinking of this, a name emerged in Jiang Tianyang's mind.
Weilonghao!!!
After figuring out the key points, Jiang Tianyang took another puff of his cigarette and said, "No matter what, Jiang Tiansheng is my boss. Blood is thicker than water, and this is a fact that no one can change."
"However, given his personality and character, if he had the chance to kill me, he would probably not show mercy."
"Family affection is family affection, and interests are interests. In the face of great enough interests, family affection can also be abandoned. This is something that Jiang Tiansheng can do..."
Jiang Tianyang's words made Dadi a little confused, but he did not rush to express his opinion. Instead, he waited for further comments before making a response.
"Actually, I know that what you just said is what Brother Hao meant, right?"
"Since Brother Hao intends to let you come over to test me, then you should have made a decision."
"And if I want to survive, what other choice do I have besides agreeing to cooperate?"
Jiang Tiansheng's words completely turned the tables and made Dadi become passive.
Seeing that Dadi remained silent, Jiang Tiansheng continued, "Brother Dadi, I think it would be better for me to talk to Brother Hao face to face. This would benefit everyone and it wouldn't waste your time. What do you think?"
Although Da Di is not very cunning, he knows that he must obey Brother Hao's orders no matter what. "I told you that Mr. Jiang is more suitable to be the leader of Hongxing."
"It was our first contact, and we only exchanged a few words, but you almost saw through my underwear."
"In terms of scheming, I can't beat you."
"But Brother Hao's orders have been very clear. If you don't hand over the account books and rosters and ask your men to leave the field, then there will be no room for negotiation."
Jiang Tianyang smiled and said without any hesitation: "Since it is Brother Hao's intention, I dare not disobey."
"Come on, follow me to get the account book and roster."
"As for the regional leaders of Hongxing, I will call them and tell them, but whether they will listen is not something I can decide."
With Jiang Tiansheng confirmed dead, Jiang Tianyang naturally had the nominal highest right of inheritance. In addition, Wei Longhao's attitude was clear, so he had no choice but to hand over his things honestly.
Dadi didn't hesitate and followed Jiang Tianyang into the house with a dozen of his brothers.
Finally, the roster and account books, as well as some Hongxing’s land deeds and properties were found in a rather hidden safe.
After taking a quick look, Dadi handed it to his younger brother behind him and said, "Changmao, protect Mr. Jiang and go back to meet Brother Hao, and then hand these things over."
"Don't mess this up, okay?"
The Long-haired Man lived up to his name, with all his hair combed back in a long ponytail and wearing square-framed glasses. He looked gentle and more like a scholar than a gangster.
"Don't worry, Boss. I will complete the task."
Changmao also knew the importance of this matter and did not dare to be vague at all.
Just as Jiang Tianyang was being taken to Yau Ma Tei by Changmao, the two toughest bones in Hongxing, Benny Tiger Han Bin, and Hongxing's leader Red Stick Prince, were also blocked at the entrance by Chen Guoqiang and Tornado.
Kwai Fuk Road, Kwai Tsing.
Han Bin was the first one standing in front of the hall, and Thirteenth Sister lagged behind him half a step behind.
Next came his subordinates, all of whom were holding machetes and looked really tough.
As the leader of Kwai Tsing, Han Bin has always had a high prestige in Hung Hing. In addition, he has good fighting skills. Facing the aggressive attack of Hutchison Whampoa, after a brief panic, he was able to gain a firm foothold and launch an effective counterattack.
After both sides injured more than twenty of their own men, they tacitly chose to stop the fight and tried to settle the matter with a general-to-general approach!
"Tornado, ever since you suddenly came to Hutchison Whampoa with your help, we have been keeping to ourselves."
"Now you are bringing thousands of people into my territory, what does that mean?"
"Today, if you don't give me an explanation, don't blame me for being rude!"
As soon as the words fell, the brothers behind Han Bin immediately raised their weapons and shouted in unison: "You're welcome!"
"You're welcome!"
"..."
Although it sounds a bit childish, the morale has indeed improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Obviously, Han Bin is also a capable person and knows how to deal with the current situation.
Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that while he was fighting hard and refusing to give an inch, the main hall was directly robbed by Da Di. Moreover, while Jiang Tiansheng had already gone downstairs to sell salted duck eggs, Jiang Tianyang, the only legal heir, was already on his way to Yau Ma Tei to meet Wei Longhao.
Tonight, Han Bin is destined to be isolated and helpless.
I just don’t know what consequences his persistence will bring.
"Benny Tiger, you transferred from Wo Hop Tu to Hung Hing. If you look at it from this perspective, we are actually from the same group."
"Although we have never had any dealings with each other, judging from your reputation in the martial arts world, you are a pretty good person."
"To tell you the truth, you only have two choices today, retreat, or die!"
Tornado stood straight in place with a calm expression, not showing any sign of nervousness at all.
He must complete today's task beautifully no matter what!
He wants to prove to everyone that he, Tornado, deserves the treatment of a bolt from the blue, and deserves to be reused by Brother Hao!
Tonight, Tornado must take down Han Bin, this tough nut to crack!
The younger brothers behind him were all full of fighting spirit and looked excited!
Because of the gang transfer, most of Tornado's subordinates are former members of the Dragon City Gang, and a small number are new recruits.
Naturally, they also want to prove their abilities through this matter!
"Tornado, you are so arrogant. People in the martial arts world say that you have combined the knowledge of hundreds of schools and created your own Whirlwind Fist. You can be called a martial arts genius."
"Today, I want to see whether you, the so-called genius, are worthy of the reputation!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Bin rushed out, moving very quickly!
In the eyes of the onlookers, it seemed as if they had rushed to the tornado in the blink of an eye!
The tornado just stood there, motionless, with no intention of dodging at all.
It looked as if he was frightened and stunned because he couldn't react in time.
Seeing this, Han Bin was immediately delighted and threw a jab with his right hand!
He has not learned the so-called traditional Chinese martial arts, but he is very proficient in free fighting.
It is no exaggeration to say that ordinary underground black boxers in Hong Kong Island are no match for him.
It’s just that, because the Prince of Hongxing was too prominent, Han Bin’s skills have never been well-known. He is a typical example of someone whose strength is greater than his fame.
This punch was not only fast, but also fierce!
And the target is right at Tornado’s chest!
Judging from the sound of the wind breaking, the force is definitely strong enough!
Another ten thousand, please give me a monthly ticket!
