Chapter 143 The Jianghu Situation Six Months Later
Although their statuses were reversed, Lin Huaile became more polite to Da D, and would ask Da D to go fishing or have a drink whenever he had nothing to do.
Under Lin Huaile's masterful performance, Big D didn't find any problems at all, and was even complacent, saying everywhere that he and Lin Huaile were closer than brothers.
Lu Yongqiang's men have been keeping an eye on Lin Huaile and Da D, and have successfully placed spies around Da D and Lin Huaile. The spies on Da D's side are one of Da D's bodyguards. This person is not Da D's confidant, and usually he can't even enter Da D's villa. In fact, he is not very useful, but it is better than nothing.
The thorn on Lin Huaile's side is quite powerful. It is the driver who drives for Lin Huaile. This man has followed Lin Huaile for almost ten years and is considered to be Lin Huaile's absolute confidant, but now he is overwhelmed by Lu Yongqiang's one million yuan per month.
Lin Huaile is a master of performance. His generosity is not real at all, but an act.
In the past, Lin Huaile was poor, so his confidants suffered with him. But now Lin Huaile has become rich, but he is very generous to outsiders, but very stingy to his confidants. The driver who drives for him is considered to be Lin Huaile's absolute confidant. Not only does he have to drive for Lin Huaile, but he also has to help Lin Huaile do some dirty and tiring work, including killing people and disposing of corpses. However, he only gets a fixed salary of 20,000 yuan a month.
A monthly salary of 20,000 yuan as a driver is actually a high salary, but if you drive for a big boss in a gang, this salary is too little.
Because when you drive for a gang boss, you are not just a driver, sometimes you are a bodyguard, sometimes you are a black glove. You do life-threatening work and get paid as a driver. No one would be happy about that.
Under the leadership of Lin Huaile, He Liansheng is now growing stronger and stronger, and there are signs of revival.
If things are developing in a positive direction for Heliansheng, then the situation of Dongxing and Hongxing is now a bit delicate.
After the battle between Dongxing and Heliansheng, Heliansheng regained some cohesion, but Dongxing almost fell apart.
Although the war lasted only three days, it inflicted heavy losses on Dongxing, with dozens killed and over a thousand injured, including over two hundred disabled. The cost of resettlement and medical treatment for these people was astronomical.
The loss of money was secondary. The territory of Da Mi was lost, which made Da Mi's boss, Uncle Qi, very dissatisfied. He originally supported Camel, but since Da Mi lost his territory, the relationship between Uncle Qi and Camel became a little subtle, and later he even had contact with the white-crowned sparrow abroad.
After Smiling Tiger's death, Dongxing had no one to take the Five Tigers' place. Two months ago, someone from Dongxing's uncle generation suggested that they choose a new member through a boxing match.
As the second most important person in Dongxing, Bai Tou Weng naturally could not be absent from such a big event. He returned to Hong Kong City from abroad two months ago.
After Bai Tou Weng came back, Dongxing held a boxing match, and the winner was Bai Tou Weng's confidant Zhuo Kele.
Zhuo Kele is not an unknown person. He is a red stick under Bai Tou Weng. He was also a tough guy in Gangcheng back then. He followed Bai Tou Weng to go abroad for a long time in recent years, and gradually lost his reputation in Gangcheng.
After becoming one of the Five Tigers, Zhuo Kele naturally wanted to make a name for himself in Hong Kong. He led his men directly to Bolan Street to plant flags, used numbers to help Mei Zidui, and directly pulled out the flags of Mei Zidui. After that, he cooperated with the Thirteen Sisters of Hongxing and Hua Fu of Liansheng. The three of them joined forces to clear Bolan Street.
Now, Bolan Street is divided up among the three major gangs. Thirteenth Sister's territory is the largest, Hua Fu's is the second largest, and Zhuo Kele's is the smallest.
Of the Five Tigers of Dongxing, three are now Bai Tou Weng's confidants, while only two are Camel's men. Add to that the Seventh Uncle's ambiguous attitude, and the current situation in Dongxing is a bit delicate.
The situation on the East Star side is delicate, and the same is true on the Hongxing side.
Since the rise of Leung Kun's power, many small gangs in Hongxing have joined forces with Leung Kun, and for a time, Leung Kun's prestige in Hongxing has also increased greatly.
It might be an exaggeration to say that Liang Kun is vindictive, but he's definitely not a mean-spirited person. Ever since his rise to power, Liang Kun has been targeting Big Brother B and Liang Ma. Every gang meeting is filled with tension between Liang Kun and Big Brother B. Not only do they argue openly, but they also frequently clash in secret.
A month ago, Liang Kun was planning to open a nightclub in Causeway Bay. He had rented a shop, but a month later, he had not even started decorating it.
At first, Liang Kun asked Lu Yongqiang's decoration company to help with the decoration, but when he heard that the nightclub was on the territory of Big Boss B, Lu Yongqiang directly refused.
Later, Liang Kun contacted Ji Ge’s decoration company. Ji Ge was a man who sometimes couldn’t see the situation clearly, but he agreed without hesitation.
But after taking the job, the work done during the day was smashed to pieces at night. It was useless to send people to guard the store. In the middle of the night, a group of masked people appeared and not only smashed things but also beat people.
At this point, Brother Ji also knew that it was Big Brother B who was behind the incident. He approached Big Brother B, but Big Brother B refused to admit it. In the end, the matter had to be left unresolved.
In fact, Liang Kun also contacted Big Brother B. He did not contact Big Brother B to discuss the decoration of the nightclub, but to discuss cooperation with Big Brother B. He was willing to hand over the nightclub to Big Brother B, but Big Brother B was determined to go against Liang Kun.
There is a lot of tension between Liang Kun and Big Brother B, so the others form various groups and cooperate in order to deepen their relationships.
Like Prince and Small Eyes, they partnered to open a bar in Mong Kok, and Ma Wangjian and Wuliang also partnered to open a restaurant in Aberdeen.
Han Bin was also trying to win over Lu Yongqiang. Not only did he give Lu Yongqiang a sum of money for free in the land-grabbing business, he also asked Lu Yongqiang to cooperate with him to set up a freight transportation company.
This business was a way to make money for Han Bin given by his boss behind the scenes, the Zhao family. The Zhao family owned dozens of ocean-going cargo ships and had great influence at the Kwai Chung Container Terminal. Han Bin's freight transportation company depended on the Zhao family for its livelihood.
In fact, many of Han Bin's smuggling channels were provided by the Zhao family. The old man of the Zhao family was known as one of the three largest shipping kings in the world, so he naturally had to protect his reputation. The Zhao family would naturally not engage in smuggling business, which led to Han Bin's rise.
Lu Yongqiang did not refuse Han Bin's kindness. He invested five million and acquired a 10% stake in the company.
Originally, Han Bin was willing to give up 30% of the shares, but Lu Yongqiang refused. Since this source of wealth came from the Zhao family, if he held more shares, he would inevitably be involved with the Zhao family.
Lu Yongqiang doesn't want to get involved with these famous families, no matter they are good or bad. After all, sometimes these people are the real cannibals and are even more cruel than the people in the gangs.
It was just that Brother Ji and Fat Lao Li were secretly forming a group. As Liang Kun's flour business grew bigger and bigger, Brother Ji and Fat Lao Li began to get scared. After all, selling flour was a serious crime, and the police were investigating it strictly.
Although these two fence-sitters are greedy for money and lustful, they are also absolutely afraid of death. Now that Brother Kun is too high-profile, the two are naturally afraid of being implicated by him.
During this period, the two have begun to back down, but some things cannot be backed out just because they want to. If the two dare not do the flour business at this time, I am afraid that Liang Kun will deal with them next.
Unable to retreat, the two could only look for scapegoats. Fatty Li set his sights on Zhang Shun, while Brother Ji actually set his sights on Lu Yongqiang.
The two men followed Liang Kun in the flour business for a few months and made a lot of money. However, seeing that Liang Kun was becoming more and more high-profile, they were really afraid that they would have the chance to earn the money but not be able to spend it, so they decided to run away with the money.
At a gang meeting a few days ago, Brother Ji and Fatty Li announced that they were old and wanted to retire and live abroad.
In order to pass on the blame, the two men each found a successor. Fatty Lai recommended Zhang Shun, saying that Zhang Shun could take over his business, while Brother Ji recommended Lu Yongqiang, saying that he was willing to give the Sai Wan site to Lu Yongqiang.
Lu Yongqiang didn’t know whether Zhang Shun agreed or not, but Lu Yongqiang directly refused.
When Zhang Shun transferred to Fatty Li's tutelage, it was a deal. After the transfer, Fatty Li gave Zhang Shun a piece of land and never cared about Zhang Shun again.
Zhang Shun was indeed a capable man. After arriving in North Point, he relied on his personal abilities to conquer a lot of territory in North Point.
Now his territory is even larger than Fat Lai's, and he has more than a thousand men under him. His power should be comparable to that of Da Fei in Kwun Tong.
Zhang Shun is good at grabbing territory, but he is not so good at making money. He only owns a few nightclubs and a small casino. The rest of the work he does is to look after people, do some pornography business, and collect some protection fees. It is enough to support his subordinates, but he does not get much.
In the past six months, Lu Yongqiang has been very low-key. Apart from running his previous companies, he has not made any other moves.
But there is still some good news. Li Jie works as a bodyguard for Lu Yongheng. After the two of them have been together for a long time, Lu Yongheng actually caught Li Jie's eye.
Two months ago, Lu Yongheng encountered an assassination attempt.
That day, Lu Yongheng left the company and was driving home. Halfway through the journey, he encountered a truck that had broken down on the road. There were many cars stuck on the road at that time.
Lu Yongheng and the others didn't notice the problem. After waiting for a long time, Lu Yongheng became impatient in the car and wanted to get out to smoke a cigarette.
As soon as he got off the car, he was attacked by a gunman. Fortunately, Li Jie noticed the problem and knocked Lu Yongheng to the ground, which saved Lu Yongheng from danger.
Just as Li Jie knocked Lu Yongheng down, more than a dozen gunmen got out of two vans and started shooting at Lu Yongheng.
These more than ten people are not simple. Each of them holds a light machine gun, and their firepower is too strong. With one move, they suppressed Lu Yongheng and made him flee in panic.
In order to ensure Lu Yongheng's safety, Lu Yongqiang not only asked Li Jie to protect him, but also arranged six subordinates to be by his side.
However, the gunmen's firepower was too strong, and the six men were shot to pieces before they could even fire back. Only Li Jie shot and killed two people.
Seeing that the firepower of this group of gunmen was too strong, Li Jie could only protect Lu Yongheng and flee everywhere.
But Lu Yongheng was also a weak fighter. His skills were too weak. Even with Li Jie's protection, he was soon injured and was shot in the thigh.
With his thigh injured, Lu Yongheng knew he couldn't run away, so he let Li Jie walk by himself, but Li Jie was unwilling to leave Lu Yongheng behind.
With Lu Yongheng as a burden, no matter how good Li Jie's skills were, it was of no use, and soon his arm was injured.
Just when the two were in despair, two people came out of a car, a man and a woman. They took advantage of the fact that the gunmen had their backs to them and opened fire at the same time, killing five gunmen in succession.
Someone suddenly shot an arrow in the back, and five people died in an instant, which made the group of gunmen panic. Although Li Jie was injured in the arm, he seized the opportunity and immediately fired back at the moment when the group of gunmen panicked, killing three more people in one go.
There were only a dozen gunmen in total, and most of them were lying down. The rest were frightened and retreated immediately.
Afterwards, Lu Yongqiang asked Shouhou to find someone, and Shouhou did not delay and found the whereabouts of the gunmen that night.
However, Lu Yongqiang met his match this time. After finding the whereabouts of several gunmen, Lu Yongqiang personally led people to capture them. However, when he arrived, it was too late. All the gunmen had been killed.
Afterwards, Shouhou tried to gather information everywhere, but he found no clues at all. These gunmen seemed to have appeared out of thin air, and Lu Yongqiang also investigated the two vans that the gunmen were riding in. He found out that the vans were stolen by these gunmen, and all the clues were gone.
