Chapter 636 Still Trying to Be Stubborn
Situ Haonan submitted the second round of investigations into Jinbao Trading, and discovered that some of their accounts were still under the names of several real estate development companies and registered under the names of intermediaries. They have already made contact with them, but have not yet obtained the original contracts.
Hengmei is providing recent public opinion records from various regions, including the trends of rumors between gangs and information on the private collusion of peripheral gangs.
He Xigui submitted a new list, which listed the names of thirteen small gangs that were quietly developing their power. These gangs corresponded to seven chambers of commerce and five conglomerates. Most of the names did not appear in public, but in fact they had already formed small regional groups.
Xu Lang finished reviewing all the documents without saying a word.
647 He stood up, walked to the map in the conference room, picked up a red pen, wrote down the names of the thirteen gangs one by one, and then circled three key areas.
"Starting tomorrow, we'll take inventory of these three districts one by one!"
"Add all venues, logistics companies, and warehouses that have no contracts, cooperation, or registration with Dongxing to their lists!"
"Call your men over and talk first. If they refuse, smash things up. If they don't comply, beat them up!"
Leave no room for maneuver!
"We're quiet ahead because we need to wrap things up!"
"Now that you've opened your mouth, you have to take the bite!"
Everyone nodded silently, and no one dared to say a word.
(bfea) Xu Lang turned and left the conference room, returning to his office.
He didn't sit down, but stood by the window looking at the sky outside.
He knew this was far from over.
Although the Tojoyama branch has been quiet recently, this is not a sign of giving up, but rather a wait-and-see approach—waiting for the situation on Hong Kong Island to become tense again, waiting for local triads to fight amongst themselves, waiting for someone close to Tsui Long to get into trouble, and waiting for someone to want to replace Tung Sing as the leader.
But he won't give them that chance.
Over the next three days, Tung Sing began making significant moves.
Wang Jianjun led his men to take over the two karaoke bars that Liu Yongxing had previously controlled. One was handed over smoothly, while the other attempted to resist. As a result, the entire building was forcibly cleared out, and the signs on the exterior walls were directly removed and replaced with the new logo of Dongxing.
Lei Yaoyang reorganized the logistics lines in the northern region, requiring all partners to sign supplementary agreements, clarify the delivery channels, and strictly set up a list of expenses.
The two logistics companies that breached the contract were given three days to withdraw. After being notified, the other garment factory immediately sent people to offer gifts and seek reconciliation, expressing its willingness to pay the outstanding fees and hand over the subsequent operating rights.
Situ Haonan and his team made a second round of contact with Jinbao Trading, obtained the original contract, and discovered that there was a small but frequent flow of funds from a film company under the Tianlong Society.
The investigation team has submitted a further freeze application to the headquarters.
He Xigui's men had their eyes on a new name among the thirteen small gangs—the Red Wolf Society.
This is a gang that suddenly appeared in the last month. On the surface, it runs a transportation business, but in reality, it is preparing to recruit people and occupy land. Its background is unclear. Rumor has it that someone behind it has done several big businesses in mainland China and has some old ties with the Tianlong Society.
Xu Lang finished reading the information without showing any expression.
"Find someone!"
"Hengmei and Aji, go check out the Red Wolf Society's manpower gathering point tomorrow!"
"Take two teams, don't alert them!"
"If they really make a move, deal with it in advance!"
"Don't wait until they've actually built it before you make a move!"
"I don't like it when people say 'I'm building it' first, and then talk about 'whether or not to pay land rent'!"
"We're not here to collect protection money; we're the owners of this whole street!"
"They have to ask us for permission before they can do anything here!"
Hong Wentong took notes quickly, but without making a sound.
Xu Lang spoke again.
"Notify the judge again to bring everyone from the contracts department back!"
Chapter 637 Stop with the talk!
"Starting next month, we will begin a comprehensive review of all commercial contracts, including leases, agency agreements, channel agreements, and resource intermodal agreements—we will go through them all!"
"Those who used Liu Yongxing's name to commit crimes should all be shut down now!"
"We're not afraid of them running away, we're afraid they won't run away!"
"If they run away, we can swallow them whole; but if they stay and continue causing trouble, that's truly disgusting!"
After the meeting, Xu Lang did not go home.
He sat alone in his office and went through all the files again.
He knew very well that while Hong Kong Island appeared calm on the surface, things were becoming increasingly complicated underneath.
These people aren't afraid of you; they're just worried about whether you'll do anything to them.
He can't just make one move and then stop; he has to keep moving so everyone knows that Xu Lang isn't someone who talks, he's someone who fights.
Night had fallen outside, and the sky over Hong Kong Island remained shrouded in fog.
But for Xu Lang, this oppressive night made him more awake than during the day.
A new cleanup operation has quietly begun under the cover of night.
He doesn't need to announce it, nor does he need to explain it.
He just wants results.
On Hong Kong Island, there can only be one voice, and that is—Tung Sing.
The next afternoon, Xu Lang had just come down from the conference room upstairs and sat down in his office when the phone rang.
It was a furious attack.
The Red Wolf Society has come knocking.
Instead of sending invitations or apologizing, they stood outside a nightclub in the Tung Sing Sai Wan area for three hours, set up a table, and displayed a bunch of so-called "Hong Kong Island New Business Association" promotional materials. They didn't name names, but everyone could see that they were after Tung Sing's business.
After listening, Xu Lang did not get angry immediately, nor did he immediately order the people to move. Instead, he got up and walked to the French window, looked at the gray shadow on the horizon, and remained silent for a few seconds.
Who's in charge of the place where they set up their tables?
"Situ Haonan!"
"Let him go there now!"
"Don't mess with their people unless you're trying to cause trouble!"
"Let him stand there for ten minutes and see if those Red Wolf Society members can stay still!"
"If they really can stay put, then let's wait and see what they do!"
"If they make the first move, things will be much easier!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Lang did not return to his seat, but turned around, opened the back door of the office, and walked into the adjacent archives room.
He walked to the innermost row of old filing cabinets, pulled out an old contract from the third drawer. It was the original draft left behind when the Tung Sing gang first acquired the nightclub operating rights in the Sai Wan area.
·····Requesting flowers····0
Although this contract has been updated many times, the original version has never been thrown away.
Besides the seals of both parties, the document also bears the name of the former triad that Situ Haonan and Lei Yaoyang took down back then: Nan Ji.
Xu Lang crossed out that name and wrote a new one: Red Wolf.
He wasn't writing notes; he was setting goals.
Everyone who dares to cause trouble on Dongxing's lips deserves more than just a slap.
.................
At this moment, Hong Wentong came in, holding a new regional inventory report.
"Brother Lang, the latest three sets of peripheral data have arrived. Two logistics warehouses have reported discrepancies in their accounts, especially a company called 'Sheng Hua Freight' in Yau Ma Tei. They've handled a lot of nighttime orders in the past two weeks, but all the documents are internal transactions with no records left behind!"
Xu Lang took the documents and glanced at them, his eyes lingering on the words "Shenghua Freight," his tone remaining calm.
"We were the ones who were monitoring this company before?"
"Originally, it was Liu Yongxing's men who were making the liaison. After we took it back, we assigned a deputy director to keep an eye on it, but judging from this situation, that person may have been bribed!"
Xu Lang didn't speak, turned the page, and scanned the company's shareholder information and recent account transaction records on the back.
Chapter 638 Subdued All
"Call them back!"
"That deputy director is suspended from duty and is under investigation, effective today!"
"Let Lei Yaoyang go down and take over!"
"Not a single discrepancy in these accounts can be overlooked!"
"You tell He Xigui to start checking 'Shunhuo,' 'Lida,' and 'Jiacheng' in groups, one by one, starting today!"
“Tell them—Dongxing is auditing the accounts, not to solicit opinions, but to count money!”
"If you can't pay up, then we'll just call it quits on June 47th!"
"They can say whatever they want, but if the accounts don't match, they can get out!"
Hong Wentong nodded, made a note of it, and went out.
Xu Lang sat down and took out the information about the Red Wolf Society again.
This club's background is too clean, so clean that it's uncomfortable.
Most of the registered members are foreigners who returned to Hong Kong Island three years ago. They all own newly registered companies and do not belong to any existing associations or chambers of commerce. However, they have been frequently appearing in Sai Wan, Wan Nam and East Wan in the past few days, which shows that they are preparing to expand their business.
What bothered him even more was that the Red Wolf Society was not operating independently.
There are people pulling the strings behind the scenes.
It is not yet clear who it is.
But those who dare to set up a stall and make pronouncements right under Tung Sing's nose can't just be a few small-time crooks who came back from out of town.
He stared at the photos of those people for a few seconds, then closed the folder.
Where is Aji?
