Chapter 73 Pink Owl's Probing
"How's business at your clothing stores?"
Ao Ming didn't really think much of Chen Fan's clothing business, since it involved selling counterfeit goods.
You might make money in the short term, but this business won't last. Once the big brands realize what's happening, they'll definitely sue you for compensation.
Chen Fan chuckled and said, "It's alright. The combined net profit of the twenty stores is only a little over two million two hundred thousand."
"Two hundred and twenty—how much?"
Ao Ming could hardly believe his ears.
"Two million two hundred thousand, net profit."
"I also brought you a few special items. Try them on later."
Chen Fan patted the clothing bag placed beside his feet.
Inside, of course, are sexy little sets designed to stimulate male hormones.
Ao Ming glanced at the black silk clothing in the bag and rolled his eyes at Chen Fan. "Can't you find someone else to mess with?"
For example, Ah Feng, Ruby————”
During this time, Ao Ming and Li Feng also became friends.
There was no way around it; Chen Fan was just too much of a troublemaker, and she really couldn't handle it if she didn't find her comrades to share the burden.
She also noticed several jars of aphrodisiac medicinal wine in the house.
"It'll be their turn sooner or later. Today I want to try your taste."
"Stop messing around, there's something I want to ask you."
"We can talk about it tomorrow when we have time."
The night is long, and only decent people go to sleep in an orderly fashion.
After a night of exercise, three or four sets of clothes broke into shreds due to excessive wear and tear.
"Xiao Ming, what question did you want to ask last night?"
Chen Fan lifted Ao Ming's chin and asked a question.
Ao Ming forced a smile and said coquettishly, "Moving! The house is all bought, but every time I try to get you to set a time, you always find something to interrupt me with."
"You can handle this little thing yourself. If you can't manage it all by yourself, just ask Ah Feng and Ruby for help."
"Should I let them choose a room in the new house too?"
"That's great, I'm not afraid of being taken advantage of."
Ao Ming pounded Chen Fan's chest with her fists, "Watch out, you might choke to death!"
"Go to bed early. Contact them later to help with the move. Let's finish this as soon as possible so we can move into a mansion."
I slept until the afternoon.
When Chen Fan got up, Li Feng and Ruby were already sitting in the living room.
"Brother Fan."
Chen Fan yawned. "You guys are here so early?"
Li Feng pointed to the clock on the wall, "It's already afternoon."
"Hmm, this is the normal schedule for gangsters. How's Ah Long's preparation going?"
"It's alright. We're making final adjustments, and we're sure we can be in top form for the boxing match."
"Is that boxing match absolutely necessary?"
Ao Ming was puzzled.
Tung Sing has been targeted by the police for a long time and has been almost driven to the brink of madness, yet they still refuse to cancel that boxing match with the multi-million dollar bet.
"It concerns the reputation of two major triads. I heard that Camel, the leader of Tung Sing, and Chiang Tin-sang, the leader of Hung Hing, have also arranged a gambling game in private, with a stake of thirty million," Ruby said leisurely.
"Huh?" Li Feng asked with some worry, "If we lose, will you get into trouble, Brother Fan?"
"I haven't thought I would lose."
Chen Fan actually knew about Jiang Tiansheng's bet with the camel long ago.
He wanted to see Jiang Tiansheng humiliated, but unfortunately, that boxing match was a matter of pride, and he had to win.
"We know you're confident. We haven't had lunch yet, so hurry up and get ready, and then call a few more people to move all your bottles and jars away."
Ao Ming pointed to those wines containing whips.
After a quick meal, just a few minutes after we finished eating, Ahua, Feiji, and Wuying came over.
Chen Fan didn't have much to move. The medicinal wine was simply because time was frozen in his personal space, and the medicinal wine needed time to settle before it would be effective. So he could only leave it outside and wait for it to settle naturally.
It was a bit awkward when she moved Ao Ming's things, as most of what she had to move were guns and ammunition.
They had both long and short guns; the total number of guns was more than the number of clothes Ao Ming wore.
Li Feng had witnessed firsthand what the true depth of an assassin family was like; this depth far surpassed that of their martial arts family.
It took Chen Fan and Ao Ming two or three hours to find a new home, a detached villa in Kadoorie Hill with a private garden.
It has a private swimming pool and is surrounded by lush greenery.
Although the villas in this area are all operated on a rental-only basis, Chen Fan had no choice but to rent them because of their proximity to Mong Kok. Being close to Mong Kok was equivalent to being close to his territory.
Rent for two or three years, and you can save some money by buying property in Repulse Bay or Deep Water Bay in the future.
Hoarding properties?
It's faster to accumulate properties one by one in the future than to hoard a small villa.
Having just finished the chores of moving, Chen Fan was preparing to treat everyone to a nice meal to celebrate when he received a call from Dongguan Boy.
"Brother Fan, someone is selling drugs at our place."
"Who's so audacious?"
"We caught two. One said he was with Ni Jia Gan Di; the other was called Scarface, and he said he was with Kowloon City Xiao Sa; there was also a Vietnamese gang member, but I wasn't paying attention and he got away through the back door."
"Send the prisoners to the dog cage, then notify Uncle Da to issue a kill order in my name, offering 300,000 to take down that Vietnamese gangster Dan San."
"Run? I'll see if he can escape my pursuit."
In less than a month, three groups of people have already come to test us. If we don't make an example of them, we'll probably have a hard time finding peace in the future.
Of the three groups, the weakest is undoubtedly Kowloon City's Xiao Sa. Chen Fan hadn't even gone after him yet, but Xiao Sa himself came knocking on the door first. And that Scarface seems to be Xiao Sa's right-hand man.
I wonder if this scoundrel has taken advantage of Zhu Wanfang, this beauty.
The Vietnamese gangs are a bit tricky to deal with. Strictly speaking, they are not a criminal organization. They are a group of refugees who have illegally crossed the border from Vietnam, similar in nature to the Big Circle Gang, except that the Vietnamese gangs mostly make a living by drug trafficking.
After all, the local specialty of the Golden Triangle in Southeast Asia, "Double Lions Treading on a Ball," is famous all over the world and has an excellent reputation.
Vietnam is extremely close to the Golden Triangle. These days, Vietnam is still at war and has no intention of controlling the drug trade, so their procurement costs are quite low.
There are several Vietnamese gang leaders, and these bastards don't care about any underworld rules, especially the three inhuman Tony brothers.
These three bastards even cheated Ah Shan, who was also from the Vietnamese gang. They took 80 million worth of goods without hesitation, and then beat people up afterward.
They even threatened the Vietnamese gang's "four-eyed" men with wives and children, telling them not to get involved in this feud.
No matter which leader that scoundrel is affiliated with, he is doomed to die; even Jesus couldn't save him!
Once we've dealt with this idiot, we'll slowly wear down the other leaders of the Vietnamese gang, one by one, until we've completely squeezed them dry.
If even a single Ah Shan can produce goods worth 80 million, then the bigger bosses like Four-Eyes can definitely drop even more gold coins.
The Ni family, in particular, far surpassed the Southern Gang in size.
The Ni family is a family-run triad. Under Ni Kun are five powerful figures: Han Chen, Guo Hua, Gan Di, Hei Gui, and Wen Zheng.
Ni Kun held a high position in the underworld, being of the same generation as Deng Fei of the Wo Luen Shing triad. In his youth, he had been involved in triads, and during the era of the Four Great Detectives, he seized the opportunity to break away and establish his own power, the Ni family.
The Ni family also started out with heroin. After acquiring territory, their business grew bigger and bigger, and their power expanded rapidly. They had money and manpower whenever they wanted.
Among the Five Great Vajras, Wen Zheng is the youngest and the weakest.
Han Chen is a smiling tiger with the most cunning and ruthless methods;
Guohua excelled at both gambling and prostitution, and enjoyed crossing the sea to have sex with married women.
Black Ghost, true to his name, enjoys double-crossing others.
Gandhi is a huge victim of injustice. He had just dealt with the foreign boss behind Romao Sen a while ago and managed to kill one of his men. He never expected to run into this unlucky guy again.
This guy's territory seems to be limited to Mong Kok, Kowloon City, and Wong Tai Sin.
However, considering the illegitimate nature of this scoundrel, there are two possibilities for why his underlings came to distribute the goods.
First, Gandhi was deliberately testing the waters; second, Gandhi was being used as a pawn by others.
Regardless of the possibility, if Chen Fan wants to eliminate future troubles, the only way is to have the entire Ni family ascend to heaven. Whether it's someone surnamed Ni or the Five Vajras under Mo, they all have to die!
All the troublemakers are dead, so trouble can't catch up with him anymore!
Knowing the plot well, it would be easy for Chen Fan to wipe out the Ni family. Once Ni Kun dies, the four powerful figures, apart from Han Chen, will become rebellious and want to establish their own independent businesses.
Chen Fan only needs to expose all the dirt on the Four King Kongs before Ni Yongxiao can use it to manipulate them, which will directly cause three of the Four King Kongs to turn against each other.
Then they would expose the fact that Han Chen's wife and Huang Zhicheng conspired to kill Ni Kun.
Given Ni Yongxiao's personality, he would definitely suspect that his father's death was related to Han Chen.
In this way, the five Vajra Kings will be divided into four groups, and by attacking them separately, it will only be a matter of time before they are completely eliminated.
After finishing their meal, Chen Fan led Ahua and the others straight to the dog cages.
At this moment, Dongguanzi was disciplining two prisoners.
"Brother Fan."
Upon seeing Chen Fan arrive, Dongguan Boy quickly stood up to greet him.
Chen Fan nodded, then turned his gaze to the scarred man. "Do you know the rules of my territory?"
"Brother Fan, I—I was just out of my mind. This is my first offense. Please be magnanimous and just let me go."
Scarface begged for mercy repeatedly.
"Who sent you? Give me a name that satisfies me, and I'll make your suffering less."
"I—I'm the boss, Xiao—carefree."
"Your boss is just a nobody, how dare he offend me? Looks like you're not exactly honest."
Chen Fan gave Dongguan Boy a look, and the latter understood, picking up a steel baseball bat and swinging it repeatedly at Scarface's right hand.
Muffled thuds, accompanied by Scarface's screams, echoed continuously in the room.
The unlucky fellow from the Ni family looked ashen-faced. Once the scar was treated, it would soon be his turn.
The scar was so painful from being hit that it caused him to faint.
Chen Fan looked at Gandhi's men and asked, "It's your turn. Tell me, who gave you permission to transport the goods?"
"I'm with Brother Gandhi from the Ni family."
"And then? Who brought you here? Who else but you? When did you start selling yourself? Did anyone in my establishment give you preferential treatment?"
"It's because Brother Gandhi wants to expand his business, so he sent me to try out Ladies' Street. Brother Fan, I just started today, and nobody's interested."
"Nobody told you to come to my territory and risk your life? Have you never heard of the rules I set, or do you simply not respect me at all?"
"I----"
The man was speechless.
He was actually drunk, and the alcohol emboldened him. Plus, he ran into a fellow Daoist friend who was also there, so he introduced the goods he had to the other person. But before the deal was finalized, he was caught red-handed.
"Another one who won't shed a tear until he sees the coffin."
Chen Fan sighed and gave the Dongguan boy a look.
Not long after, another unfortunate soul was born with a comminuted fracture of his right arm.
Let the flies wake Scarface up, and a new round of interrogation begins. Soon, Scarface reveals Wu Zhiwei, the Smiling Tiger of East Star, an adversary that Chen Fan should keep in mind.
Smiling Tiger is Xiao Sa's supplier, Scarface helps Xiao Sa distribute goods, and Xiao Sa ships goods for Smiling Tiger.
Rounding down, it's like the Smiling Tiger ordering Scarface around—that makes perfect sense!
Another debt to settle with Tung Sing.
As for the remaining Gandhi subordinate, Chen Fan had no intention of delving into the details of the feud. He simply had someone prepare a meal for them to eat their fill before leaving.
These lowly thugs can't get the ransom, and the shrew can't offer a price. Gandhi won't accept it, and filling the sea directly would save on food expenses.
"Brother Fan, are we about to start a war?"
The Dongguan boy was eager to try.
Starting a war means there's a chance to capture prisoners, and capturing prisoners means exchanging them for ransom.
These are all great opportunities to make money!
"No rush."
"I've spread the word that I'll make Gandhi come and give me an explanation; that good-for-nothing, I'll deal with him myself after tomorrow's tribal meeting."
"Brother Fan, what about that Vietnamese gang?" Ahua asked, puzzled.
"You have to eat one bite at a time." A glint of shrewdness flashed in Chen Fan's eyes. "First, find out which boss of the Vietnamese gang the escaped Dan San was with. After we've dealt with Xiao Sa, we can slowly settle accounts with the Vietnamese gang."
"Ahua, contact the marginalized people and Meng Bo. I need detailed information on all the leaders of the Vietnam Gang, as well as the Smiling Tiger of Dongxing."
In addition, Meng Bo was instructed to monitor the major figures of the Ni family, with a particular focus on recording the scandalous affair between Han Chen's wife and a corrupt cop named Huang Zhicheng.
"clear."
Ahua nodded.
"Airplane, Dongguan Boy, you two take your men and conduct a thorough search of all the venues right now. Remember to close them before you move in, so they don't get away again," Chen Fan continued to instruct.
The plane and Dongguan boy acted swiftly and decisively, immediately calling people to assemble upon receiving instructions.
Before long, the two men, leading a small team of about fifty people, began a sweep of all the venues within their territory.
Whether it's selling powder or pills, Chen Fan has zero tolerance.
This raid was quite large. There were customers carrying prohibited items, but no one was found selling them or chasing people around the premises.
Upon receiving the results of the investigation, Chen Fan knew that today's test was just the beginning.
As soon as Cao Dahua issued the kill order, the entire martial arts world was in an uproar.
Those fan groups who were still watching and observing have now fully realized Chen Fan's determination.
Even a low-level smuggler is wanted with a 300,000 yuan bounty.
If they genuinely want to expand their business into Chen Fan's territory, they will likely face the same fate of being purged.
The Vietnamese gang was decisive; as soon as the kill order was issued, they immediately arranged for someone to kill that small fry. They didn't even come to collect the bounty.
It's obvious without even guessing that this was a cover-up, as if as long as they did it cleanly, they wouldn't be involved in this matter.
