Chapter 355 A Tentative Counterattack

With the introductions from Hua Zai, Xing Baohua and Camel Chen shook hands and exchanged a few words of admiration.

Both parties sat down and asked the shopkeeper to bring them their food.

Andy Lau smiled and said to Xing Baohua, "Brother Camel booked the whole place because he was worried that some random people might bother you."

"Thank you very much, Brother Camel." Xing Baohua bowed and expressed his gratitude.

"It's nothing, this shop is run by one of my employees, we're all on the same side." As he spoke, seeing that his employee had already brought out all the food, he waved his hand and told his men to leave.

Turning to Xing Baohua, he asked, "Mr. Xing, you didn't come to me just to thank me, did you?"

Xing Baohua smiled, took a check out of his pocket, placed it on the table, and pushed it towards Camel Chen.

He said, "Brother Camel, I won't say any more thanks. This little bit of money is nothing but a token of my appreciation. Take it and have some tea."

Camel Chen didn't stand on ceremony either, and with a smile, he picked up the check. When he saw the number on it, he was shocked.

It's not that he's never seen money. After all those years of hard work, wasn't he just trying to make a living? His underlings might need a bite to eat, but he doesn't. He's after development and a wide range of sources of income.

Furthermore, there are certain rules to follow when giving a thank-you gift, but the amount Xing Baohua gave was many times greater than the expected amount.

A thank-you gift of 50 million is still a small amount!

When did Hong Kong's wealthy tycoons become so generous? Even the rich people Camel Chen has met are stingy and calculating, haggling over every penny.

It's rare to see a wealthy person like Xing Baohua who is so generous with money, giving it away so casually. Usually, it's only a few hundred thousand yuan, and even for close friends, it's only a little over a million yuan.

In fact, Xing Baohua really wanted to show off, so he took out a blank check and let Camel Chen fill it in however he wanted.

After thinking about it, he decided not to pretend anymore and just write down a number. What if Camel Chen was very honest and wrote down .99 for all the ten-digit checks?

This check's maximum payment amount is just one cent short of 1 billion.

Xing Baohua can't pull off this act.

Camel Bro was also stunned. With so many members in the gang, even if they worked hard all year, they couldn't earn more than a few hundred million H coins.

Without being polite, he accepted it on the spot. He was afraid that if he was too polite, Xing Baohua might change his mind and take it back, and he would regret it terribly.

Seeing that the other party put the check into his pocket, Xing Baohua had someone bring over a handheld video camera and showed the video of Watanabe Yoshizawa to Camel Chen.

He was speaking in Japanese, and surprisingly, Camel Chen understood a little bit of it.

While listening, the other person even nodded slightly. It was only through this gesture that Xing Baohua could tell that the other person understood to some extent.

As expected of the club leader! This is probably a study tape he got from Japan, and he learned while reselling the pirated copies!

After watching the five or six-minute video, Camel Chen said to Xing Baohua, "This is Watanabe Yoshizawa, currently the acting head of the Yamaguchi-gumi. When I met him, he was still the third head's direct associate of the Yamaguchi-gumi."

This person is very vicious. He learned a lot from the third generation leader, Kazuo Taoka. The Yamaguchi-gumi is still in chaos. If he purges some of the members, he might directly take over the Yamaguchi-gumi and become the fifth generation leader.

To enhance his reputation, he publicly claimed to be the acting chairman of the Yamaguchi-gumi. In reality, he had two rivals who hadn't yet taken him down.

Listening to Camel Chen's explanation, Xing Baohua knew he had come to the right person for advice. Indeed, Camel Chen had a wide circle of friends and even knew a great deal about the Japanese.

Just as I picked up my cup to take a sip of water, I heard Camel Chen say, "Aren't you curious how I know so much? Haha! I'm the leader of the Chinese group in Yamaguchi."

Xing Baohua almost spat out the tea in his mouth.

He looked at Camel Chen with a surprised expression.

"I participated in a Japanese boxing match in 1983 and defeated my opponent in half a minute. Later, the fourth generation leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi found me, praised my kung fu skills, and said that I had been the leader for so many years. He then directly formed a Chinese group and made me the leader." Camel Chen said with a smile as he recounted his glorious deeds back then.

Xing Baohua gave a thumbs up and couldn't help but think to himself: Awesome.

Do you know why I was chosen as the team leader?

Xing Baohua shook her head and said she didn't know.

"It's because in the 1970s and 80s, Chinese people in Japan also formed gangs. The Northeast Gang, the Shanghai Gang, and the Fuqing Gang were three gangs that made their names through fighting."

As Camel spoke, Xing Baohua nodded in agreement, noting that the name itself suggested a regional group working together. Back in the day, those who couldn't leave through legitimate channels would hire smugglers to take them out.

Without proper identification, they are inevitably bullied by outsiders and have no choice but to band together to fight back.

When you're out there, you still have to survive, right?

"The Fuqing Gang consists of people from the southern Fujian region who have scattered across several major cities in Japan. They were frequently bullied by Japanese gangs, so they banded together and became quite aggressive. They are especially sworn enemies with the Yamaguchi-gumi, and members of the two gangs fight whenever they meet."

When the Yamaguchi-gumi members met the Fuqing gang, they immediately reported it to the police. Last year, I was invited by the Yamaguchi-gumi's deputy to go and mediate. How could mediation possibly succeed?

As the saying goes, revenge only begets revenge, and that only applies when there's no mutual benefit involved; otherwise, it might be resolved through mediation. But when it involves territory and interests, it becomes a life-or-death situation. I only went because of face-saving.

After finishing his sentence, Camel Chen took a sip of tea.

He asked Xing Baohua, "Now that Watanabe Yoshizawa has taken full responsibility, what do you want? Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"What do you think would happen if I asked the Fuqing Gang to help me kill Watanabe Yoshizawa?" Xing Baohua asked.

"You may not understand the Japanese mentality. Watanabe dared to admit it, which made him prepared for retaliation."

The first is their biggest rival, the Fuqing gang. Perhaps they've already thought of something, or are preparing something?
