Chapter 13 Jiang Tiansheng: How could he have the nerve to ask me for help?
Early the next morning.
Repulse Bay, Chiang Tin-sang's Villa.
"Mr. Chiang is in trouble. Last night, Da Yu's men went to Kowloon City and took down Hung Tai's flag!"
"How is the battle going?"
"Little Tyrant was punched into an idiot by Chen Fan, a guy under Da Yu's command, but Big Head Cheng, a red stick in Kwun Tong, and Snake Boy Chao, a member of the triad, were killed by Ah Wu, a mercenary from the triad."
"Have you secured that territory yet?"
"We've got it. That young man named Chen Fan is very resourceful and clever. He entered the seabed more than half a month ago."
Jiang Tiansheng looked at him strangely and sighed, "Ah Yao, have you figured out the problem?"
"question?"
Chen Yao was puzzled.
"The world is too peaceful now. Many people in high positions have grown old, and their minds and ambitions are no longer what they used to be."
If I remember correctly, Da Yu borrowed several hundred men from Uncle Xing and Ma Wangjian yesterday. Including their own gang's manpower, they definitely outnumbered Hong Tai Xiao Ba Wang's men. Yet, the result of this battle was that the stronger side lost two key members.
At this point, Jiang Tiansheng's face suddenly darkened, like a volcano about to erupt, and he continued:
"Our Hung Hing produces tough guys, but two of Tai Yu's core members are not as good as a young man, even though they are seasoned veterans."
If it weren't for his position as the company's leader, Jiang Tiansheng would have loved to call Dayu and yell at them for being useless.
How can a team with a winning hand still give away two kills? What kind of game is this?
If it weren't for the young man Chen Fan who turned the tide, Hung Hing's reputation for being "good at fighting" for over a decade or two would probably have collapsed.
"Ah Yao, contact Da Yu later and ask him if he wants the original territory or the Kowloon City that was just captured."
"Mr. Jiang, do you want Da Yu to give one of its plots of land to Liang Kun?" Chen Yao asked.
"Da Yu lost two of his arms, while Chen Fan only has one. Kwun Tong and Kowloon City are too big for him to hold.
Hong Tai's original intention was to give Liang Kun a piece of territory. Da Yu would lose any territory it couldn't hold sooner or later, so giving Liang Kun a piece of territory would also allow him to gain a favor.
"Let Da Yu choose whether he wants money or other resources; consider it the gang buying this territory from him."
It's not that Jiang Tiansheng looks down on Dayu, it's just that Dayu's level is only good enough to defend one territory.
To seize territory, they need to borrow troops; even with an advantage, they still lose two key members. Jiang Tiansheng has never seen such a useless gang.
Rather than letting other triads take over Daewoo's territory, it would be better to give up one piece of it. This way, there would be no need to send manpower to help Leung Kwan plant his flag in Mong Kok, which would save a lot of trouble.
Chen Yao cautioned, "But Liang Kun is already prepared for war."
"Preparing is not the same as taking action; just give him a sum of money."
"Also, send a message that I have something to announce at the branch meeting in three days. All the leaders and key members must be present. Hung Hing needs reform!"
Chiang Tin-sang had long wanted to find an opportunity to elevate the unambitious "old guard" of Hung Hing to the position of elder statesman, but he had never been able to find the right opportunity to implement this reform.
With Daewoo's advantageous position having lost two key players, it was undoubtedly the best entry point.
If they give up their positions to younger people, Jiang Tiansheng can regularly pay them to be considered elders. If they refuse to give up their positions, they shouldn't blame him for selecting leaders based on age when the gang has something to do in the future.
"Mr. Jiang, what about Ah B and the others? Chen Mei has secretly bribed him and his men, 2.1 million for six people."
"Isn't he always trying to be clever? How come he's so down on his luck that he needs to ask me for help?"
Upon hearing about Big B, Jiang Tiansheng's anger flared up.
In order to fulfill his promise to give Liang Kun, who had just graduated from advanced studies, a whole territory to develop, he shamelessly asked Uncle Bo to cooperate in ripping off Hong Tai. He was acting well at first, but Big B, that good-for-nothing, somehow got on the wrong side. Even when they were at the negotiating table, he didn't know how to find fault or overturn the table, and he forced Chen Mei to mediate the matter.
Left with no other choice, Jiang Tiansheng had to find another gang to work for. Da Yu was unlucky and drew this lot. After all the arrangements were made, Da B's men came out to cause trouble again.
Let him steal the credit if he wants; as long as it can instigate a major battle and superficially deceive other top-tier gangs, Jiang Tiansheng will accept it.
But Chan Ho-nam and his gang were too ruthless, slashing and finishing off Chan Mei's only son.
Leaders of top-tier triads such as Wang Bao of the Number Gang, Deng Fei of Wo Luen Shing, Lao Xu of Sun Kee, and Sha Lao Tai of Wo Hop To all called him to condemn Hung Hing for disregarding the code of honor among gangsters.
They launched a war without warning, acting too ruthlessly, and in one strike, they ensured that Chen Mei would have no descendants.
Jiang Tiansheng was thoroughly scolded and humiliated, and he didn't even have a chance to refute it.
Now they still have the nerve to shamelessly ask him for a solution. He's already fulfilled his duty as the leader by not expelling Big B and Chan Ho-nam from Hung Hing.
"So we're just going to let Big B get assassinated like this? I heard from the Dragon City Gang that a lot of outlaws in the city are interested in those two million dollars," Chen Yao continued.
"Chen Mei only has one son. If only he had known this would happen, why did he do it in the first place?" Jiang Tiansheng paused, then said explicitly, "Tell Big B that he should either take his henchmen and leave Hong Kong Island, or go all the way and have Chen Mei killed by drawing lots."
If you can't solve the problem, solve the person who raised it.
With Chen Mei dead, there was no one to settle the bonus, so anyone who wanted to earn that money would naturally give up the idea.
…………
At the same time, Chen Mei learned that Hung Hing had seized Kowloon City territory and that Little Tyrant had been beaten into an idiot, and her face turned ashen.
Before his son's seven-day mourning period had even passed, Hung Hing was already impatient and took action against him.
His capable subordinate was crippled, and his territory was seized. Isn't this just like taking a dump on his head and farting?
This is absolutely outrageous!
Chen Mei turned to look at the group of triad members who had come to offer their condolences and said in a deep voice, "You've all heard about what happened. Hung Hing wants to wipe out Hung Tai. First it was my son, then Little Tyrant, and next it could be you."
"Damn it, we have no grudges against them, not even now. They clearly want to wipe out Hung Tai! Uncle Mei, let's fight Hung Hing to the death!"
"Yeah, even if we can't win, we'll still knock their teeth out!"
"Uncle Mei..."
Hongtai's core members all spoke up.
It's been less than two days since Chen Tailong died. With Wei Jixiang now crippled, Hongtai has lost three key members. One dead and two crippled, isn't this tantamount to annihilation?
As long as they remain in Hongtai, they could be the next ones to be killed or crippled.
"Alright, since everyone supports going to war with Hung Hing, then let's fight!"
Chen Mei's gaze swept over several key members, and she said coldly, "A Bao, A Fei, A Pei, you guys are the flag bearers. Tonight, we'll split into three groups."
Ah Bao, you're in charge of taking back Kowloon City;
Ah Fei, you take your men to Tsz Wan Shan and capture Big B and those other bastards;
Ah Pei, you lead your men to attack Hung Hing's Tsim Sha Tsui. I don't expect you to defeat Kam Chi-tai, just make a splash in his territory.
"Uncle Mei, I know what to do."
"Big B is just a sham who recruits juvenile delinquents; it's easy to deal with him."
"Uncle Mei, don't worry, we will definitely make Hung Hing pay the price they deserve!"
The three of them, Bao Rong, spoke in unison.
