Chapter 112: The Hall Meeting That Started Well but Ended Well
The current Hung Hing is not as united as it was during the time of Chiang Tiansheng. The twelve leaders have now formed their own gangs and divided into several small groups.
Seeing that Liang Kun had been rambling for a long time without getting to the point, Prince Gan Zitai said, "Liang Kun, as the leader of the Hongxing faction, what is your attitude towards the East Star's declaration of war? Just tell us directly. Isn't it just a waste of everyone's time to keep rambling on?"
After hearing what the prince said, Liang Kun thought for a moment and then asked Thirteenth Sister, "Thirteenth Sister, what's the situation with Da Mi now? And after all, you were the one who started this incident. What do you think? Are you determined to fight, or is there a possibility of further negotiations?"
Thirteenth Sister spoke up, "Da Mi is still alive. I can let him go, but I definitely won't give the territory back. This time, it was Da Mi who plotted against me first. He was the one who started the trouble. My intervention was justified and did not violate the moral code of the underworld."
After Thirteenth Sister finished speaking, Liang Kun thought for a moment and said, "Since Thirteenth Sister said so, I'll give Luo Tuo a call and see what he says. If he insists on starting a war, then we Hongxing will accept the challenge. I wonder if you all think this is okay?"
After Liang Kun finished speaking, no one spoke for a long time.
Seeing that no one spoke, Liang Kun called out their names, "Longlong, Qiangzi, your Tuen Mun branch happens to be right next to the East Star headquarters. What do you think about this? If a war breaks out, the Tuen Mun branch will definitely bear the brunt of the attack, and the losses will definitely be huge."
As soon as Liang Kun finished speaking, Long Kong said, "Of course I support the war. I've long disliked the Dong Xing people. If a war really breaks out, I, Long Kong, am willing to be the vanguard and guarantee to kill those Dong Xing people."
After Dinosaur finished speaking, everyone looked at Lu Yongqiang, wanting to hear what Lu Yongqiang had to say.
Seeing everyone's gazes, Lu Yongqiang spoke up, "Since Brother Dinosaur has said so, I naturally support the war. But how should the accounts be settled? Besides, our Tuen Mun sect alone certainly can't hold up the entire East Star. How many people can the other sects have to support us? And if we take over East Star's territory, how will we deal with it? It's best for us to decide these things right from the start to avoid arguments later."
To be honest, Lu Yongqiang was reluctant to go to war with Dongxing because it wouldn't do him much good. The people in Dongxing were all focused on selling powder, and none of them had much in the way of assets. Seizing Dongxing's territory would only allow him to collect protection fees, but wouldn't yield any assets, so the benefits were minimal.
But given the relationship between Dinosaur and Thirteenth Sister, it would be useless even if he didn't agree. After all, Dinosaur was the leader of the Tuen Mun Gang, and he had the final say.
Since the result had already been determined, Lu Yongqiang naturally would not object. This could be considered as doing Thirteenth Sister a favor.
As Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Liang Kun said, "Since it's a war between two societies, all expenses will naturally be paid from the public account. As for how to provide support, we will discuss this matter later.
Now let's vote on whether everyone supports going to war. Let's get this settled first so I can call Camel."
As soon as Liang Kun finished speaking, Thirteenth Sister, Han Bin, and Dinosaur immediately raised their hands, and then Liang Kun also raised his hand. When Fatty Li and Brother Ji saw Liang Kun raise his hand, they also raised their hands.
At this time, there were already six votes in favor of starting a war. Thirteenth Sister looked at Big Brother B. Under Thirteenth Sister's gaze, Big Brother B raised his arm.
During Chiang Tiansheng's time, fourteen people voted.
But after Liang Kun became the leader, he gave Chen Yao five million and let Chen Yao leave Hong Kong City, so Chen Yao did not attend this conference.
Liang Kun used to be the leader of the Tsim Sha Tsui gang, but after he became the leader, he handed over the management of Tsim Sha Tsui to his confidant Lao Hei. However, Lao Hei's status was not high enough. He used to be just a "four-nine boy" and now he is just the person in charge of the Tsim Sha Tsui gang. In fact, he is not the leader. He is not even qualified to participate in a meeting like today.
So there were actually only twelve people in the room with the right to vote, and seven votes in favor of going to war, which meant the outcome was already decided. Seeing this, the other leaders who had not raised their hands also raised their arms, which meant that it was a unanimous vote.
Afterwards, Liang Kun took out his cell phone and called Luotuo in public.
The phone rang for a long time before Camel answered it.
Liang Kun didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "Mr. Luo, Thirteenth Sister said that she can release your Dongxing's Da Mi now, but Da Mi was the one who plotted against her first, so she will not return Da Mi's territory to you. As for giving you an explanation, there is no question of that.
If you agree to this, I will ask her to release him now. If not, then soldier against soldier, general against general, we will have a showdown tonight and determine who is right and who is wrong based on strength."
After Liang Kun finished speaking, there was silence for a long time on the camel's side before they said, "Let him go! We don't want the territory anymore. This time, we, Dongxing, admit defeat." Before he finished speaking, the phone was hung up.
After Luotuo hung up the phone, Liang Kun was stunned. Luotuo's attitude was not like this this morning. He was very determined to start a war. How could he become so easy to talk to in just half a day? This really caught Liang Kun off guard.
It was because he could tell that Luotuo didn't sound like he was speaking in anger that Liang Kun notified everyone to hold a meeting. Now that Luotuo had done this, Liang Kun felt a bit like a clown for some reason.
In fact, in the morning, Camel was really determined to go to war with Hongxing.
After all, a lot had happened in Dongxing yesterday. First, Smiling Tiger, one of the Five Tigers, was found dead in the hospital. Then, that same night, not only was Da Mi's territory raided, but he was also arrested. If Dongxing didn't react, they would be looked down upon by their fellow guild members.
What Luotuo didn't expect was that just when he had discussed with the gang members and was mobilizing his troops, the police actually came out to make trouble.
First, several gang leaders were invited to the police station for coffee, and then problems arose in several warehouses where goods were stored, and the police found a lot of things in them.
The camels thought that what happened a few years ago was going to happen again. They were frightened and started to prepare to run away.
Later, he received a call from the foreigners, saying that their people from Dongxing had offended the Zheng family in Hongcheng, and the old man of the Zheng family had gone to the office of the top police officer. This police action was to give an explanation to the Zheng family, and they also asked Luotuo to arrange for several important people to surrender to the police station and settle the matter as soon as possible, otherwise things would become more troublesome.
After asking carefully, Luotuo found out that the girl he had been thinking about, Da Mi, not only plotted against the Thirteenth Sister of Hongxing, but also boldly plotted against the young master of the Zheng family, which led to the disaster of Dongxing.
When Liang Kun called Luotuo, Luotuo was arranging for someone to surrender to the police station.
After hearing what Liang Kun said, Luotuo almost said that there was no need to release Da Mi. This kind of trouble should be killed directly. The reason why he waited so long before speaking was not to think about the pros and cons, but to calm down his emotions, afraid that he would say something he shouldn't say.
Speaking of which, Dongxing was somewhat implicated by Lu Yongqiang this time.
Da Mi did plot against the third son of the Zheng family. If this happened before Lu Yongqiang fought against the Zheng family, the Zheng family would have found a way to warn Dongxing and would definitely not have directly contacted the police chief and asked the police to crack down on Dongxing.
The Zheng family was frightened by Lu Yongqiang's tough tactics and had to give in, but this incident also made many people in the Zheng family very angry. At this time, Da Mi plotted against the third son of the Zheng family and walked directly into the trap.
For the Zheng family, dealing with the conflict with Lu Yongqiang was already embarrassing. If they didn't fight back, where would the Zheng family put their face? Would anyone dare to plot against the Zheng family in the future?
At the beginning, the Zheng family had thought about using the power of the police to deal with Lu Yongqiang, but after investigation, they found that all the businesses under Lu Yongqiang's name were clean. He did not run a casino, lend money at high interest rates, or sell drugs. Even the gray industry such as Ma Kan was an industry of a gang. They collected protection fees and set up a security company, and they also paid taxes to the government. In this case, except for framing him, the police would definitely not be able to touch Lu Yongqiang in the short term.
However, although the Zheng family is powerful, it is not easy to frame someone. If the truth is revealed, they will have to face Lu Yongqiang's bloody revenge.
But Dongxing is different. He seems to be even harder to deal with than Lu Yongqiang, but because he is not clean himself, as long as the Zheng family can give certain benefits, it will be easy to injure Dongxing.
The gang meeting ended in a whimper while Liang Kun was confused. After leaving the Zhongyi Hall, Lu Yongqiang was about to drive back, but he unexpectedly received a call from the foreigner Carter, who asked Lu Yongqiang to meet him.
This foreigner is not honest. After Smiling Tiger was arrested by the police, he left Hong Kong in a hurry. Judging from his behavior, it is obvious that he is also involved in the powder business.
In a private room of a Western restaurant, Lu Yongqiang was eating steak with relish. Carter tried to talk about business several times, but was interrupted by Lu Yongqiang.
After putting the last bite of steak into his mouth, Lu Yongqiang patted his stomach in satisfaction. Seeing Carter's sad face, Lu Yongqiang smiled and said, "Mr. Carter, it's just a few more pieces of steak. Are you reluctant to eat it?"
Lu Yongqiang used to have a big appetite, but as his physical condition improved, his appetite became even bigger, a bit exaggerated. He now eats as much as three or four people. For example, at today's meal, Lu Yongqiang ate five steaks by himself.
Lu Yongqiang had a big appetite and ate a lot, but Carter had a sad face. It was not because he felt sorry for the money spent on the steaks, but because his grandson was pretending to be pitiful.
Others didn't know that Smiling Tiger was collaborating with Carter to sell powder, but Camel knew it. Smiling Tiger died in the hospital, and Camel immediately suspected that Carter had killed him to silence him. After all, if Smiling Tiger was still alive, he might have betrayed Carter.
