Chapter 564 The Dual Leaders' Covert Struggle: Hung Hing Breaks the Stalemate!
Late at night, in a room at the Hung Hing headquarters, Ye Haoxuan was inspecting his weapons when Tachibana Masahito pushed open the door and handed him a short knife.
The blade is long and narrow, gleaming with a cold, sharp light, and the Yamada-gumi family crest is engraved on the hilt.
“This was given to me by Kazuo Kusakari when I was in Japan. He recognized this knife.” Masahito Tachibana said calmly, “Nanako Kusakari is his most beloved daughter. The marriage alliance is just his bargaining chip. He wants to use Hung Hing to stabilize the internal strife of the Yamada Group. You don’t have to take it seriously, but don’t offend him either, lest you escalate the conflict.”
Ye Haoxuan took the short sword, tucked it into his waistband, and patted Tachibana Masahito on the shoulder: "I know. Kusakari Kazuo is an old fox. I won't fall for his tricks. This trip to Japan is twofold: first, to resolve our grievances, and second, to cut off the Camel's external support. As long as the Yamada Group doesn't help the Camel, he won't be able to cause much trouble."
Tachibana Masahito nodded: "I've already spoken to the Prince and Han Bin on the Hong Kong side. If Camel launches a surprise attack, they will hold the headquarters until we return."
Ye Haoxuan hummed in agreement, walked to the window, and looked at the patrolling underlings downstairs with a deep gaze:
“The old man will definitely take advantage of the chaos to make a move. Tell the prince not to act rashly, stabilize Tsim Sha Tsui first, and deal with Wo Luen Shing after dealing with the Camel.”
"I have already given the Crown Prince his instructions." After exchanging a few more words about precautions in Japan, Tachibana Masahito turned and left, leaving Ye Haoxuan alone in the room.
He took out the thermos of Qiu Ti's stewed beef brisket, opened the lid, and the aroma wafted out, dispelling some of the chill of the late night.
He recalled Qiu Ti's bright smile and Luo Huiling's gentle words of advice, and his heart softened.
He fought in the martial world not for territory or power, but to protect the people who cared about him and to maintain a peaceful life.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Ye Haoxuan got ready and left his residence.
Qiu Ti and Luo Huiling had already prepared breakfast: white porridge, fried eggs, and his favorite pickled vegetables, all laid out on the table.
"Eat something quickly, it's not good to travel on an empty stomach." Luo Huiling served her a bowl of porridge, her tone gentle.
Ye Haoxuan sat down, quickly finished his breakfast, and stood up, saying, "I should go."
Qiu Ti stepped forward, straightened his collar, and said softly, "When you get to Japan, remember to call us so we don't worry."
"Okay." Ye Haoxuan nodded, hugged the two of them, and turned to walk out the door.
Tachibana Masahito and Feng Yuxiu were already waiting for him at the door with samurai, and the car was ready.
Ye Haoxuan got into the car, rolled down the window, waved to Qiu Ti and Luo Huiling, and the car slowly drove away.
Not long after the car drove away, Tony hurriedly caught up on his motorcycle.
Ye Haoxuan told the driver to stop the car, and then rolled down the window.
Tony rode up on his motorcycle and said:
"Brother Xuan! Something terrible has happened! The casino in Tsim Sha Tsui has been vandalized by the Wo Luen Shing gang, and five of our brothers have been injured! Also, news came from Ah Hu that Camel's smuggling boat is setting off tonight, a day earlier than expected, and is estimated to arrive at Hong Kong Island by tomorrow morning!"
Ye Haoxuan's eyes instantly turned cold, and his fingertips clenched into fists.
He hadn't expected the white-haired man to be so bold, or the camel to be so eager to make a move.
"Where is the prince?"
"The prince has already taken his men to Tsim Sha Tsui, saying he's going to smash up the Wo Luen Shing triad!"
"Stop him!" Ye Haoxuan said in a deep voice. "Tell him to guard Tsim Sha Tsui and not to provoke trouble. Stabilize Wo Luen Shing first, and deal with Camel later. As for Han Bin, tell him to send more men to guard the Western District Pier, and also inform Ah Hu to keep an eye on Camel's boats and report their movements at any time."
"Understood!" Tony replied, then turned and rode away on his motorcycle.
As the car continued driving forward, Tachibana Masahito said, "Brother Xuan, should I go back first? With the camel attack, headquarters can't be without top-notch combat power."
Ye Haoxuan shook his head: "No need. You come with me to Japan. We have to go to Kusakari Kazuo's place. We have Prince, Han Bin, and the brothers in Hong Kong. We can hold on. Camel wants to take action while I'm away. I'll let him know that the brothers of Hung Hing are not to be trifled with!"
The car drove away from Causeway Bay and headed towards the airport.
Ye Haoxuan gazed at the fleeting street scenes outside the window, a sharp glint in his eyes—he needed to settle his trip to Japan as soon as possible, and the accounts in Hong Kong would be settled one by one when he returned!
“Wo Luen Shing is a dual-headed company, Lok and Big D. They appear friendly on the surface but are actually at odds.” Tachibana Masahito suddenly spoke, twirling his scabbard between his fingers. “Big D is arrogant and domineering, wanting to take over Wo Luen Shing for himself. Lok is shrewd and has been patient. This time, Big D dared to smash up Hung Hing Casino, most likely without consulting Lok. He wanted to use the power of the camel to suppress Lok and seize Hung Hing’s territory at the same time.”
Ye Haoxuan raised an eyebrow: "You mean, Ah Le might not know that Big D is colluding with Camel?"
“Most likely.” Tachibana Masahito nodded. “Lok values rules the most. Knowing that Big D is colluding with foreign enemies, he will never sit idly by—what he wants is the power of Wo Luen Shing, not to perish together with Hung Hing and Tung Sing.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Haoxuan's cell phone rang; it was an unfamiliar number.
He answered the phone, and a steady voice came from the other end, tinged with a hint of probing: "Mr. Ye, this is Ah Le."
A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Haoxuan's eyes, followed by a cold laugh: "Young Master Le is quite well-informed, knowing that I'm going to Japan."
“Nothing in Hong Kong can be hidden from me.” Ah Lok’s voice was very low. “Big D smashed your casino in Tsim Sha Tsui and colluded with Camel to try to attack Hung Hing while you were away. I didn’t know about this and I didn’t agree with it. Wo Luen Shing is a dual-headed organization, but the rules can’t be broken. Colluding with external enemies is a major taboo for the triads.”
"What does Young Master Le want?" Ye Haoxuan asked bluntly.
“I’ll help you keep things stable with Wo Luen Shing and prevent Big D from sending any more help to Camel.” Ah Lok said confidently, “After you come back, I’ll spare Big D’s life. I’ll make him return the place in Tsim Sha Tsui to you and pay you HK$500,000 for medical expenses. In addition, I can keep an eye on Camel’s old men. I’ll notify you immediately if they show up on Hong Kong Island.”
Ye Haoxuan ran his fingertips along the edge of the mobile phone, pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay. But I have one condition—Big D smashed my casino and injured my brothers, and this debt cannot be left unpaid. I want him to cut off one of his fingers and publicly apologize to Hung Hing."
After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, Ah Le said in a deep voice, "Deal. Don't worry, Mr. Ye, I will make sure he gets it done."
After hanging up the phone, Feng Yuxiu sneered: "That old fox, A-Le, wants to use you to deal with Big D and consolidate his own position."
“It’s just a mutual exploitation.” Ye Haoxuan’s lips curled into a faint smile. “He wants power, I want to stabilize Hong Kong Island. We each get what we need. Call the Prince immediately and tell him not to fight the Wo Luen Shing gang head-on. Just hold onto Tsim Sha Tsui. As for Big D, Ah Lok will handle it. Also, tell Han Bin to keep a close eye on Big D’s men. If they dare to contact Camel’s men, take action immediately without hesitation.”
Feng Yuxiu responded and took out his mobile phone to make a call.
