Chapter 53: Was the entire Wo Luen Shing Group merged into Hung Hing?
"Now, we only have one path before us, and that is to fight." Uncle Deng said, his gaze sweeping around, his tone firm, "That Big D dares to bring their territory and assets to Hung Hing, we must fight them, we must let them know that we are with the Luen Shing..."
"Uncle Deng, stop being so reckless. What are you fighting for? Are we going to fight over there now?" Before Uncle Deng could finish speaking, Gao Lao interrupted him impatiently.
From the very beginning, it was Uncle Deng who provoked Hung Hing, and then he had to fight with Hung Hing.
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Okay, if you're going to fight, then win!
We lose every time we fight, we've lost everything, why do we still want to fight?
What can we use to fight?
Are you suggesting we get these old bones to pick up knives and start killing people again?
Uncle Deng used to be very prestigious in the gang, but after several incidents, his prestige has declined to the point that now even Tall Guy dares to directly confront him.
"That's right."
Chuanbao's voice was also annoyed: "With the gang like this, how are we supposed to fight? Who's going to fight? You? You? Or me?"
Each person pointed at by the string of explosives shook their head.
Ultimately, it was Wo Shing's rules that harmed them.
These uncles never wanted to step down, which prevented the younger generation from getting ahead.
When problems arise, these old guys can't step up, and the juniors below aren't qualified to either.
If the Wo Luen Shing triad didn't have someone like Uncle Tang, who, despite having stepped down, still wanted to use his status as an uncle to control the organization, perhaps the Wo Luen Shing wouldn't have declined so quickly.
Back when Wo Luen Shing was at its peak, Chiang Chen had just founded Hung Hing and was no match for Wo Luen Shing.
“If none of you agree to fight, what are we going to do now? Just watch Big D switch to Hung Hing and do nothing? Then the lower-ups will follow suit and all switch to other triads.”
"What will happen to us and Wo Luen Shing then? If Wo Luen Shing is gone, do you think we old guys will live comfortably?" Uncle Deng was also angry, pointing at everyone and shouting loudly.
"Actually, there is another way."
Just then, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open, and Lin Huaiyue walked in.
"Ale?"
"Who let you in?" Uncle Deng looked at Lin Huai Le who had suddenly entered, and a bad feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.
"Uncle Deng, times have changed. The martial world no longer belongs to you old folks." Lin Huai Le looked at Uncle Deng and everyone else present, his eyes filled with undisguised sarcasm.
He'd been annoyed with these old guys for a long time.
They rely on their age and seniority, constantly using their uncle status to suppress others and prevent them from holding their heads high.
If you want to do anything, people will criticize and point fingers at you.
"Lin Huai Le".
Uncle Deng and the others immediately looked at Lin Huaile with hostility.
"If you want to live on and enjoy your old age, then listen to what I have to say. Otherwise, just kill me right now..." Lin Huai Le said, pulling out a knife from his pocket and slamming it on the table.
"I promise I won't fight back. Come on, kill me..."
As Lin Huai Le spoke, he opened his arms and closed his eyes.
But more than ten seconds passed, and the scene remained silent. A slight smile appeared on Lin Huai Le's lips.
Then he opened his eyes, looked at everyone, and said, "Since you are all willing to listen to me, then I will tell you my thoughts."
"If you want everyone to live out the rest of their lives in peace, there is only one way: join Hung Hing..."
"What? Join Hung Hing?"
After hearing this, the people present immediately began to discuss it amongst themselves.
At first, they were very angry, but the more they thought about it, the better they felt this was a good idea.
If we join Hung Hing, we'll all be one family.
With Hung Hing as their backer, who would dare to mess with them and Luen Shing?
The danger is gone, and it's safer now—it's definitely a win-win situation.
"Ah Le, please continue."
The tall man looked at Lin Huaile with a smile.
“What I mean is that all of Wo Shing and Wo Shing should be incorporated into Hung Hing…” Lin Huai Le was interrupted by Uncle Deng slamming his hand on the table before he could finish speaking.
"No way, absolutely impossible."
Uncle Deng looked at Lin Huai Le with a face full of anger and said, "Are you trying to ruin my and Lian Sheng's century-old foundation?"
Wo Luen Shing has been around for almost a century.
He absolutely cannot let Wo Shing sever ties with him; he absolutely cannot.
With Deng Bo leading the charge, the others frowned slightly but remained silent.
"A century-old foundation?"
Lin Huai Le sneered and said, "Do you think that if we don't merge with Hung Hing, what right does Hung Hing have to be our backer? If you were Jiang Tiansheng, would you do this?"
I can say with certainty that if I were Jiang Tiansheng, I would strike while the iron is hot and take over Wo Luen Shing in one fell swoop.
After Lin Huai Le finished speaking, Gao Lao, Chuan Bao, and the others couldn't help but nod.
Indeed, if one were in Jiang Tiansheng's shoes, one would certainly make the same choice.
“So, if we don’t join Hung Hing, why should Hung Hing protect us? Everyone can give me a reason.” Lin Huai Le said, glancing around.
"That won't do either. I, Deng Wei, would rather die than live in dishonor. I would rather live and die with Wo Luen Shing than let Wo Luen Shing be merged into another triad under my control." Uncle Deng disregarded all that and directly objected.
“If you share the same idea as Uncle Deng, that’s fine too. But I’m going to switch sides to Hung Hing. I don’t want to be wiped out along with Wo Luen Shing.” With that, Lam Wai Lok turned to leave, but before leaving, he said, “I just thought that you uncles have always been good to me, Lam Wai Lok, so I was just trying to give you a safe way out before I left. Since you don’t want it, then forget it.”
After Lin Huai Le finished speaking, he walked outside.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Finally, just as Lin Huaiyue took the fifth step, a voice came from behind him.
"Wait a moment!"
Upon hearing this voice, Lin Huai Le's lips curled into a triumphant smile, but the smile vanished when he turned around.
"Uncle Longgen, is something the matter?"
Lin Huaiyue looked at Longgen and asked.
The person who just called out "wait a moment" was Long Gen.
"Tell me your thoughts," Longgen said, his voice slightly hoarse.
Clearly, he was also in a difficult position when making this decision.
"Longgen, what are you doing?" Uncle Deng looked at Longgen with displeasure and asked.
"Uncle Deng, we just want to survive." Longgen looked directly at Deng Wei without flinching.
"We're all getting old, and now we just want to enjoy our retirement. Is that wrong?"
After Longgen finished speaking, Gao Lao suddenly said, "Uncle Deng, we won't stop you if you want to die, but don't stop those of us who want to live."
"Yes, Uncle Deng, you can't speak for all of us."
“The triad doesn’t belong to you alone. We’re also saddened by the merger into Hung Hing, but there’s nothing we can do about it.”
"That's right, you can't just think about yourself, you're too selfish, Deng Wei."
Immediately afterwards, the barrage of attacks from the volleyball, the chicken-blowing, and the double-headed Dong opened fire on Deng Wei like a machine gun.
The same old saying still holds true.
The older you get in the martial arts world, the more afraid you become of death.
It hasn't been easy for them to get to this point after all these years.
Those who joined the club with them back then have long since turned to dust.
Now that they're finally about to retire, who wouldn't want to enjoy their twilight years in peace and quiet?
"You, you guys..." Deng Wei looked at the group of people and suddenly felt they were all strangers.
Suddenly, he felt that all his insistence and defense had become so ridiculous.
If he hadn't let his uncles continue to hold power and instead promoted younger people, perhaps Wo Shing wouldn't be in this situation today.
Now that the community is in trouble, their first thought is for themselves.
“It’s my fault, it’s all my fault…” Uncle Deng gave a bitter laugh.
On the surface, he kept saying that his uncle's power was for everyone's good, but in reality, it was just to maintain his own power.
In terms of selfishness, he is the most selfish.
Uncle Deng bears 80% of the responsibility for Wo Luen Shing's current predicament.
Seeing Uncle Deng's bitter smile, the people present were filled with mixed emotions.
But soon, they put that aside; they wanted to survive.
"If everyone agrees, I will represent you to talk to Mr. Chiang at Hung Hing. But there is one thing I hope you all understand: if Wo Luen Shing really merges into Hung Hing in the future, the status of you uncles will be gone." Lin Huai-le looked at everyone and said slowly.
"Ah Le, can't we try to fight for it?"
The tall man looked at Lin Huai Le with hope.
"impossible."
Lin Huaile shook his head.
Are you kidding me? Who do you think you are?
In Wo Luen Shing, you are my uncles.
But after you merged into Hung Hing, you were the losers. Do you think we can let you continue to be uncles?
That's not how you do it, even in your wildest dreams.
“Ah Lok, you go and negotiate. If the conditions are similar, we will agree to merge with Luen Shing into Hung Hing.” Chuen Po looked at Lam Wai Lok and said seriously.
"Okay, I'll go now."
Lin Huai Le said this, then turned and took his leave.
Actually, that was his purpose in coming here.
Big D's sudden switch of allegiance to Hung Hing greatly affected Lam Wai-lok, who knew that the Wo Luen Shing ship was doomed to sink sooner or later.
Given this, he wouldn't sell it for a better price before Wo Shing sang its boat.
His visit to Jiang Tiansheng this time was not to fight for anything for his uncles, but to fight for himself.
"Do you think our decision was right?" Lin Huai Le asked, and Shuang Fan Dong suddenly sighed.
It's impossible to say that these uncles had no feelings for the gang.
After all, they had spent their entire lives with Wo Shing Wo.
"What else?"
Chuan Bao gave a wry smile and said, "Now, the entire martial arts world is watching to see what our next move will be with Lian Sheng."
They either fight Hung Hing, but everyone knows whether they can win.
But if we don't fight, the other major triads will be able to see through our true strength and weaknesses, and that of the SUPP.
"At that time, numerous triads will swarm in and devour us and the Lian Sheng triad. You can imagine what will become of us uncles."
Bar………"
Just as Chuan-Bak said, Wo Luen Shing has been driven to the brink of despair.
Unless you are put in a life-or-death situation, you will survive.
However, Wo Luen Shing had no such opportunity, not even a tiny bit.
"Uncle Deng, we..."
As Chuanbao spoke, he looked at Uncle Deng, about to say that they had no choice but to do so.
However, the latter simply looked at them indifferently, without saying a word.
