Chapter 240 Thunder God is dead
Seeing Ding Yao, Shan Ji said, "Have I become a joke?"
Ding Yao held Shan Ji's arm and said gently, "Don't say that. It's because the old man didn't consider your feelings that you feel so caught between a rock and a hard place."
"I'll find time to talk to the old man. Hongxing is also a top society in Hong Kong. If our Triple Alliance Gang and Hongxing fall out, it will be a loss."
After Ding Yao finished speaking, Shan Ji said, "Ayao, why is Mr. Lei so determined to get the casino on Ao Island? The casino on Ao Island is profitable, but our Triple Alliance is a big and powerful gang, so there's no need for us to have a casino there, right?"
After Shan Ji finished speaking, Ding Yao chuckled and said, "Gambling in Macau is a legal industry, and the money won in the casino in Macau is also legal income.
The old man is now a member of the Legislative Yuan. In the future, he will have to deal with high-ranking officials and celebrities, and there will be a lot of bribery. If our Triple Gang has its own gambling hall in Macau, then whether it is bribery or not, it will be very convenient and safe.
As Ding Yao finished speaking, Shan Ji suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"
Ding Yao smiled and said, "What do you think? Our Triple Alliance Gang is involved in so many industries in Taiwan, and there are some that are more profitable than gambling. Have you seen which industry the old man is so concerned about?"
"The old man is old and has made enough money. Now he's just greedy for power. Just being a legislator isn't enough for him. He wants to move up the ladder, so bribery is inevitable. And how to make the bribe-takers feel comfortable taking the money is his most pressing concern."
"Don't worry, Shan Ji. I will persuade the old man to reconcile with Mr. Jiang from Hongxing. By then, the misunderstanding between the two sides will be resolved. You have the support of two top gangs, the Tri-Union Gang and Hongxing, and your future is limitless."
After being enlightened by Ding Yao, Shan Ji's depression was swept away. He hugged Ding Yao with a smile on his face and said, "Ayao, it's great to have you."
The two of them were affectionate for a while, and Ding Yao found an excuse to leave.
Shan Ji was in a good mood and wanted to have a drink with his good brother Chen Haonan, so he drove directly to Causeway Bay.
After Shan Ji drove away, two figures walked out from the corner, one was Ding Yao and the other was Lei Gong's personal bodyguard Gao Jie.
Ding Yao said, "The old man will go to Ao Island tonight. After you go there, prepare everything according to the plan."
"As for me, after the old man leaves, I will go find Shan Ji, and then take him and his sworn brother to Ao Island, and then proceed according to the plan."
As Ding Yao finished speaking, Gao Jie said, "Wasn't our plan to make Lu Yongqiang a scapegoat? Why did we change the plan again?"
Ding Yao said, "I've met with Lu Yongqiang. He's not easy to deal with, and I have a feeling he knows our plan..."
"Anyway, this guy is a bit difficult, so it's better for us not to provoke him. Besides, anyone can be the scapegoat, there's no need to make things more complicated."
That night, Lei Gong led his men to leave the port city, while Ding Yao stayed.
In the middle of the night, Ding Yao went to the bar opened by Chen Haonan and Shan Ji.
Shan Ji hugged Ding Yao and happily introduced her to Chen Haonan: "Brother Nan, this is the Miss Ding Yao I often mentioned."
"Ayao, this is my best brother—Brother Nan!"
Ding Yao nodded to Chen Haonan and said, "Brother Nan!"
After greeting Chen Haonan, Ding Yao said to Shan Ji, "Shanchi, I've convinced the old man that he's willing to resolve the conflict with Hongxing. After all, when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured."
After Ding Yao finished speaking, Shan Ji said happily: "When does the old man decide to meet with Mr. Jiang?"
Ding Yao shook her head and said, "Pheasant, the old man is not planning to meet with Mr. Jiang in the short term."
"After all, after what happened last time, the old man didn't dare to see Mr. Jiang, and Mr. Jiang probably didn't dare to see the old man again."
"The old man knows that Brother Nan is Mr. Jiang's confidant, so he wants to meet Brother Nan first to clear up the previous misunderstanding, and then find an opportunity to meet with Mr. Jiang."
Ding Yao smiled apologetically at Chen Haonan, and then continued, "Brother Nan, the old man originally planned to meet you at the villa tomorrow and have a good chat with you.
But unfortunately, something urgent happened in Ao Island, and the old man has already gone there.
Now I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you, Brother Nan, to go to Ao Island to meet the old man."
Ding Yao finished speaking, Chen Haonan did not speak, but Shan Ji said: "Going to Ao Island? You won't use guns again when we meet, right?"
After Shan Ji finished speaking, Ding Yao said, "Sha Ji, you told the old man during the day that you wanted to quit the San Lian Gang, which made the old man very dissatisfied.
I tried so hard to convince you, old man, and I'm so sad that you don't believe me."
As she spoke, Ding Yao pretended to be angry and tried to break away from Shan Ji's arm.
Shan Ji hugged Ding Yao and said, "Ayao, don't be angry! It's not that I don't trust you, but I don't trust the old man. After all, after what happened last time, it's hard for me to trust the old man."
Ding Yao said, "Don't worry! The old man is the leader of the Sanlian Gang after all. Would he lower himself to deal with Brother Nan?"
"Brother Nan, whether you want to go to Ao Island to see the old man is up to you. If you are willing, I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow and take you to Ao Island to see the old man.
If Brother Nan doesn't want to, then forget it. I'll talk to the old man again and see if we can arrange a meeting time next time I come to Hong Kong City."
Chen Haonan had no conflict with the Triple Gang, and Chen Haonan could not decide the ownership of the Macau Island Casino. Logically speaking, Lei Gong had no reason to deal with Chen Haonan.
Besides, Lei Gong is the leader of the Sanlian Gang, so there is really no reason for him to lower his status to deal with Chen Haonan.
So after Ding Yao finished speaking, Chen Haonan said, "Then please, Miss Ding, send someone to pick me up in Causeway Bay tomorrow."
That night, the news that Ding Yao met Chen Haonan reached Lu Yongqiang's ears.
After receiving the news, Lu Yongqiang knew that the show was about to begin.
Lu Yongqiang had no intention of getting involved in the upcoming show. He asked all his subordinates, big and small, to keep a low profile recently, and also asked Shouhou to pay attention to unfamiliar faces on the street, especially those with Taiwanese accents.
The next day, Shan Ji and Chen Haonan followed Ding Yao to Ao Island.
What happened afterwards was similar to the plot. Ding Yao and Gao Jie teamed up to kill Lei Gong, while Chen Haonan and Shan Ji became scapegoats.
After Lei Gong's accident, Ding Yao did not rush to deal with Shan Ji and Chen Haonan, but was focused on seizing power in the Sanlian Gang.
The Sanlian Gang is similar to the Hongxing Gang. There are many factions within the gang. Now that the old man Lei Gong is dead, there are many people eyeing the position of gang leader. It will not be easy for Ding Yao to hold on to the position of gang leader.
But Ding Yao is a smart woman. She directly uses the name of temporary replacement to stabilize those who want to fight for power.
The Tri-Link Gang, like the Hung Hing Gang, also holds elections every three years, and there is less than a year left until the next election. Lei Gong's death was too sudden, and the ambitious people in the Tri-Link Gang had no preparation at all.
At this time, Ding Yao showed that he had no ambition to be the gang leader, and said that he would only temporarily take over the position of gang leader for less than a year, which happened to satisfy all parties.
With Ding Yao's clever planning, the leaders of the various branches of the Sanlian Gang actually agreed to let her temporarily take over the power of gang leader.
After becoming the temporary gang leader, Ding Yao did not rush to avenge Lei Gong. Instead, he used a large amount of money to bribe Mr. He's confidants in Macau Island and snatched the casino business of the new hotel in Taipa from Hongxing.
By taking over the casino business of the new hotel, Ding Yao has temporarily gained a foothold in the Sanlian Gang.
If Ding Yao wants to truly become the leader of the Sanlian Gang, it is not enough to just gain a foothold temporarily. She must eliminate those in the Sanlian Gang who pose a threat to her.
On the seventh day after Lei Gong's accident, the Sanlian Gang had just finished Lei Gong's funeral, and Ding Yao actually secretly came to Hong Kong City and even came to Tuen Mun.
In a teahouse in Tuen Mun, Ding Yao, wearing a veil and wrapped tightly, walked into a private room.
Lu Yongqiang was the only one in the private room. When he saw Ding Yao come in, he said, "Miss Ding, I wonder what you want to see me about?"
Ding Yao first took off her thick coat, then removed the veil from her face, and then said, "Mr. Lu, I haven't offended you, have I? I really don't know why you are so hostile to me."
Lu Yongqiang smiled and said, "Miss Ding, you misunderstood. I'm not hostile to you, but I'm afraid of trouble. Beautiful women are usually troublesome, especially a rose with thorns like Miss Ding. It's even more troublesome."
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Ding Yao smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, you know that the more you try to avoid trouble, the more trouble you will encounter."
"Mr. Lu, did you know that Lei Gong had a deal with Jiang Tiansheng of your Hongxing gang? He gave the casino business of the new Taipa hotel to our Triple Gang, and the Triple Gang helped him take out a few people, one of whom was Mr. Lu."
After Ding Yao finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang shook his head and said, "Miss Ding, Mr. Jiang is the leader of the Hongxing Group, and I am the leader of the Hongxing Group in Tuen Mun. If something happens to me, it won't be a good thing for Mr. Jiang."
"Don't try to sow discord unless you can provide solid evidence."
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Ding Yao shook her head and said, "Mr. Lu, I know you're well-informed. You must have heard that our Triple Alliance Gang has taken over all the casino businesses in the new Taipa Hotel."
"Mr. Lu, you should know that the casino business of this new hotel was promised to Jiang Tiansheng by Mr. He from Aodao himself."
"Mr. Ho of Ao Island is a man of integrity and has always been a man of his word. Now that he has made a promise, no one can make Mr. Ho change his mind unless Jiang Tiansheng says he wants to back out."
"Mr. Lu, you are a smart man. I believe you can judge whether what I said is true or false?"
After Ding Yao finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang was stunned and his face looked a little ugly.
Indeed, the loss of the casino business of the new hotel in Taipa by Hongxing was a bit too inexplicable.
What is even more puzzling is that after losing such a big business, Jiang Tiansheng did not allow Hongxing to fight back.
The Tri-Union Gang was indeed powerful, but the Hung Hing was no pushover either. The Tri-Union Gang had stolen the Hung Hing's business. No matter what, the Hung Hing should have fought back. However, Jiang Tiansheng forcibly suppressed the voice of counterattack during the meeting.
