Chapter 188 Lu Yongqiang’s New Choice
After knowing the specific situation, Lu Yongqiang, who had already flown from the United States to Thailand, immediately turned around and returned to the United States.
After arriving in the United States, Lu Yongqiang visited Chen Yao again.
Lu Yongqiang didn't beat around the bush with Chen Yao. He told Chen Yao what had happened in Hong Kong over the past two days, and then asked directly, "Brother Yao, I heard from Brother Xiyan that we in Hongxing have a secret hall. This hall has trained many top masters. It is considered a secret trump card of Hongxing to dominate Hong Kong."
"Brother Yao, we in Hongxing have a trump card like the Dark Hall. Do the other top societies like He Liansheng and Dongxing also have such a trump card?"
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Chen Yao hesitated for a moment and said, "Aqiang, since you guessed it, there is no need for me to hide it from you. I will talk to you about it today."
"Aqiang, I think you're familiar with the Five Tigers of the East Star, but have you ever heard of the Three Phoenixes of the East Star?"
Without waiting for Lu Yongqiang to answer, Chen Yao asked himself, "Of the Three Phoenixes of the East Star—the Golden Phoenix, the Silver Phoenix, and the Fire Phoenix—I've only seen the Silver Phoenix and Bai Yuling. As for the Golden Phoenix and the Fire Phoenix, I've only heard the older generation talk about them, but I've never actually seen them.
It is said that these three people are the protectors of the entire Dongxing society. When Dongxing encounters a devastating disaster, Sanfeng will appear with his men and carry out various assassinations against Dongxing's enemies.
Back then, the East Star was targeted by the police and major Hong Kong gangs, nearly being expelled from the city. However, at the last minute, the Chief Superintendent in charge of the case was killed, and two bombs were discovered in the Governor's Mansion. Furthermore, many gang leaders and "Red Sticks" were assassinated. Several leaders of smaller and medium-sized gangs were killed, including our Hongxing's Prince, who was seriously injured, and the "Red Stick" of Liansheng, Mad Dog Biao, who was killed.
At this point, Chen Yaochong chuckled to Lu Yongqiang and continued, "This Dongxing has the Dongxing Three Phoenixes, we Hongxing has the Dark Hall, and He Liansheng naturally has a trump card."
"He Liansheng's trump card is called the Law Enforcement Hall. This hall was originally responsible for supervising, investigating, and enforcing family rules. However, over the years, the Law Enforcement Hall has long since changed its nature. It has become a killer hall, with responsibilities similar to our Hongxing's secret hall.
The only difference is that our Hongxing's Secret Hall is jointly managed by the society's leader and seven elders. Whenever the Secret Hall is mobilized to do something, more than half of the elders and the leader must agree together, otherwise no one is qualified to mobilize the people in the Secret Hall to do things.
The Heliansheng Law Enforcement Hall is under the control of the nine elders. As long as half of the elders agree, the Law Enforcement Hall can be mobilized to do things."
At this point, Chen Yao laughed self-deprecatingly, and continued with some emotion: "In fact, it's not just top societies like us, Hongxing, Dongxing, and Liansheng, that have hidden cards. In fact, all societies with some background have hidden cards.
How could the Ni family in Tsim Sha Tsui keep its four main factions so obedient? It was because the Ni family had an assassination squad. If the leaders of the four main factions had any unforeseen intentions, the Ni family would kill them in no time.
And then there's Jiang Sheng from Xinji. Each of his five Xinji tigers is more formidable than the last. How has he been able to maintain his position as the leader of Xinji? It's because this old man secretly controls a hidden power. No one is confident that his five tigers can handle this hidden power, so they always obey him."
"A Qiang, you may seem very powerful now, and your momentum of rising is very strong, but in reality, you are just that. Compared with those old foxes in the underworld, you are far behind."
"Aqiang, if I were you, what I need to do most now is to keep a low profile. After a few years, when I have developed my own trump card, it won't be too late to be high-profile then."
"Everyone says that the older you get in the underworld, the less courageous you become. It's not that these old guys have lost their courage, but that they have been in the underworld for a long time and know a lot, so naturally they are no longer arrogant."
Chen Yao's heartfelt words silenced Lu Yongqiang. Back then, from Dong Quan, Lu Yongqiang knew that Gangcheng was a place with many bad people and none of those old guys were simple characters.
Therefore, in the past few years, Lu Yongqiang has spent a lot of money to train a group of people, just to deal with these old foxes. However, judging by the current situation, he is still thinking too simply. The people he has trained for a few years are basically no match for the people cultivated by the society generation after generation.
According to the information gathered by Shouhou, He Liansheng dispatched nearly thirty masters last night, and the fighting strength of these people is basically above 40 force points.
The three who ambushed Crow were so powerful that they severely injured him in just a few moves. They were probably no less powerful than Crow. And the men who besieged Xinji's Chen Yaoqing were also as powerful as the ones who ambushed Crow.
Over thirty experts showed up in one night. It was unclear whether He Liansheng had any backup plans. If Lu Yongqiang were to make the arrangements, he certainly wouldn't play all his cards. He'd have to keep some cards in reserve for emergencies, right?
Therefore, Lu Yongqiang suspected that there were still experts in Liansheng who had not appeared. Given the current situation, he was afraid that he would not be able to take action against Tsuen Wan.
Just as Lu Yongqiang was pondering his thoughts, Chen Yao said, "Aqiang, why aren't you saying anything? Honest advice is hard to hear. Are you angry?"
Lu Yongqiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, then said, "Brother Yao, I was just shocked by the news you said, so I didn't react for a moment. How could I be angry with you!"
Chen Yao smiled and said, "I'm glad you're not angry! Qiangzi, are you interested in the land in Yau Ma Tei?"
After Chen Yao finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang looked at Chen Yao in surprise, then reacted and asked, "Brother Yao, is Mr. Jiang going to take action against Liang Kun?"
Chen Yao looked around and then whispered, "This morning, Mr. Jiang called me and said that Lin Huaile from Liansheng had contacted him. From Mr. Jiang's tone, it seemed that Liansheng was planning to take action against Liang Kun. This was to inform Mr. Jiang in advance to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
Mr. Jiang was almost ready. If He Liansheng wanted to take action against Liang Kun, Mr. Jiang would definitely not miss this opportunity and would probably join forces with He Liansheng.
"Based on Mr. Jiang's personality, after dealing with Liang Kun, I'm afraid a large number of people in the Yau Ma Tei gang will be purged.
Yau Tsim Mong has always been a piece of juicy meat in the eyes of major social groups. After being cleaned up, Yau Ma Tei needs a capable person to take charge.
Among the younger generation of Hongxing, your abilities are unparalleled, and you are the most suitable candidate to lead the Yau Ma Tei branch."
"Qiangzi, if you have any ideas about Yau Ma Tei, maybe I can help you with a little bit." At this point, Chen Yao smiled and nodded at Lu Yongqiang, then continued: "Of course, I can't do this for free. Qiangzi, you need to consider a benefit for me."
After Chen Yao finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang started to think about the pros and cons.
Yau Tsim Mong area has always been a prosperous place in Hong Kong. Although the territory of the Yau Ma Tei branch is not large, the income of the branch is much greater than that of the entire Tuen Mun branch.
The rewards are high, but the risks are also high. Yau Tsim Mong is a battlefield, with countless short mules emerging from the underworld, and there is no shortage of tough guys who can make it big every year. If you really go to Yau Ma Tei, you're afraid you'll never have peace again.
Places like Tuen Mun and Tsuen Wan are considered rural areas in Hong Kong and have never had much profit. Some places are even so poor that they have difficulty even supporting their own people.
However, although the benefits are not great, there is also an advantage, that is, there is little competition. It may take three or two years for a powerful figure to emerge in Hong Kong. Staying in such a place can be relatively stable.
Lu Yongqiang pondered for a long time and said, "Brother Yao, do you think it's possible to send Dinosaur to Yau Ma Tei?"
As soon as he said this, Lu Yongqiang saw a suspicious look on Chen Yao's face, and immediately continued to explain: "Brother Yao, my food factory and real estate company are both in Tuen Mun. These two companies are the capital of my livelihood, and I really can't let them go.
"If you can find a way to get the dinosaurs out of Tuen Mun, I'll definitely give you a big red envelope." Lu Yongqiang held up a finger.
Chen Yao glanced at Lu Yongqiang and said tentatively, "One million!"
Lu Yongqiang shook his head.
Chen Yao said in surprise, "Ten million! Qiangzi, are you willing to invest such a large sum of money?"
Lu Yongqiang said, "Brother Yao, if you can get Dinosaur out of Tuen Mun and let me become the leader of the Tuen Mun gang, I can give you 10 million US dollars!"
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Chen Yao was stunned. After a long while, he spoke to confirm, "Qiangzi, are you sure it's 10 million US dollars? A man should keep his word. You can't deny the debt and argue later."
Lu Yongqiang said, "Brother Yao, I can give you two million dollars upfront. But let's be clear, I can give you the money first, but if the job doesn't work out in the end, you have to pay me back in full."
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Chen Yao lowered his head and thought for a while. He raised his head and said, "Okay! We have a deal." As he spoke, Chen Yao stretched out a hand.
Lu Yongqiang reached out and patted Chen Yao, then said, "Brother Yao, should I give you the two million dollars in the next two days, or wait until you return to Hong Kong City?"
Chen Yao thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it after I return to Hong Kong City."
Lu Yongqiang smiled and said, "Okay! I'll prepare the money for you, Brother Yao, in advance. Whenever Brother Yao asks for it, I'll give it to him."
Lu Yongqiang was frightened by He Liansheng's sudden surge of strength and was forced to rethink his plans. He had originally considered taking the risk of attacking the Tsuen Wan side, but Chen Yao's move gave him a new option. If spending money could secure the top spot, Lu Yongqiang would rather spend more. Not to mention $10 million, even $20 million would be worth it.
