Seeing that Jiang Tiansheng was in a difficult position, Chen Yao coughed and said, "Ah Dong, Ah Bin, the incident in Tsim Sha Tsui has nothing to do with Mr. Jiang and Prince. I wanted to get more of the company's share, so I had Prince and his two underlings take over Tsim Sha Tsui. I'm ashamed to say that I oversimplified the problem. I didn't expect that Tung Hing and Hung Tai would join forces to attack us, so I had no choice but to shamelessly ask you guys for help."
"Mr. Chiang, fellow bosses, I am sorry to everyone, I am sorry to Hung Hing, and I am willing to accept any punishment."
Upon hearing this, a hint of gratitude flashed in Jiang Tiansheng's eyes.
Chen Yao took the blame, which pulled him out of the mire.
Otherwise, if Shen Dong and Han Bin continue arguing, I'll lose all face.
Shen Dong knew, of course, that Chen Yao was taking the blame for Jiang Tiansheng, and said calmly, "Brother Yao, all of us bosses only get 30% of the profits. Is it really worth making such a fuss over such a small amount of money?"
Chen Yao said, "I admit I'm a bit petty. I have no objection to whatever punishment you give me."
Since Shen Dong had already criticized Jiang Tiansheng, he naturally didn't mind giving Chen Yao a piece of his mind. So he said, "I heard that more than 560 Hung Hing brothers were killed or injured last night, and the medical expenses and resettlement fees alone amounted to HK$100 million."
The prince couldn't help but say, "Ah Dong, Brother Yao has made great contributions to the gang, you..."
"Crown Prince."
Shen Dong interrupted him directly, saying, "Merit is merit, and fault is fault. How can they be confused? If the deaths and injuries of more than 560 people, plus a loss of 100 million, can be easily overlooked, then wouldn't the rules of Hung Hing be rendered meaningless? Brother Yao, you are the white paper fan of Hung Hing, and you are most familiar with the rules. Tell me, what crime should you be guilty of?"
Damn it, aren't you, Chen Yao, supposed to take responsibility?
Okay, I'll make sure you can't afford it.
Chen Yao broke out in a cold sweat.
For the first time, he experienced what it meant to be caught in a dilemma.
According to the gang rules, he caused such great losses to Hung Hing, so he must be severely punished.
If things go wrong, you could even lose your life.
Chen Yao's original intention was to flatter Jiang Tiansheng, but he never expected to end up like this.
Jiang Tiansheng said, "Ah Dong, what do you want? To kill Ah Yao?"
Shen Dong laughed and said, "I was just joking. Yao is the strategist of Hung Hing, it's normal for him to make a mistake once. Even the brilliant strategist Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms lost Jieting, let alone Yao."
Hearing Shen Dong's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, everyone realized how terrifying Shen Dong could be when he got angry, a man who was usually unassuming.
Jiang Tiansheng said, "I may be spared the death penalty, but I can't escape punishment. Ah Yao, we'll each cover half of the brothers' expenses. Any problems?"
Chen Yao quickly replied, "No problem."
Jiang Tiansheng asked, "Ah Dong, what do you think?"
Shen Dong said, "You are the leader, so of course you have the final say."
Jiang Tiansheng said, "Okay. Let's discuss what we should do next."
The crown prince replied without hesitation, "Of course we'll fight. This grudge must be avenged."
Shen Dong said, "Since Tung Sing and Hung Tai have joined forces, why don't we go after Wo Luen Shing? I heard that Wo Luen Shing is desperate to get into Tsim Sha Tsui."
The Crown Prince said, "Wouldn't doing this mean giving half of our territory to Wo Luen Shing?"
Shen Dong said, "Dongxing and Hongtai's territory in Tsim Sha Tsui seems to be much larger than Wang Bao's territory."
Jiang Tiansheng thought for a moment and said, "I'll go talk to Uncle Deng."
After the Hung Hing meeting, Shen Dong, Han Bin, Thirteen Sister, Ah Hua, and Dinosaur sat together to have breakfast.
Thirteen Sister said, "Ah Dong, Ah Bin, you have really offended Mr. Jiang this time."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Why didn't it happen that Mr. Jiang offended us? Thirteenth Sister, to be honest, I didn't want our relationship with Mr. Jiang to turn out like this, but there's nothing I can do. People who are kind are often bullied. If we don't teach him a lesson, he will only become more and more aggressive in the future."
Han Bin said, "Ah Dong, you need to be careful."
Shen Dong shrugged and said, "I'm first, you're second, we're even."
Thirteen Sister frowned and said, "Mr. Jiang shouldn't go that far, right?"
Han Bin sneered, "In the twelve years since Mr. Jiang took the helm, those who have been eliminated have basically been outstanding leaders who posed a threat to him. I was originally Mr. Jiang's main target, but then Liang Kun rose to prominence, which greatly relieved the pressure on me. Now, A Dong's momentum is too rapid, and he is a greater threat than Liang Kun. How could Mr. Jiang let him go? Our joint effort to embarrass Mr. Jiang this time is to warn him not to go too far, or we will not be easy to mess with."
Shen Dong said, "Prince, Ah Nan, and Da Fei are the key figures that Mr. Jiang has been supporting, with the aim of having them check and balance me and Brother Bin. It's funny, the two of us are focused on business and have no interest in the position of leader of Hung Hing. Instead, we have become a thorn in Mr. Jiang's side. It's like I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the gutter."
Dinosaur slammed his fist on the table and said, "What's there to be afraid of? If Mr. Chiang goes too far, the five of us bosses will unite and form a new Hung Hing, and see what he does then!"
Han Bin waved his hand and said, "Unless we can find evidence that Mr. Jiang is targeting us, it will be difficult for us to maintain our foothold in the underworld. Moreover, we've already offended many members of various triads. If we become independent, not only will Hung Hing gang fight us to the death, but other triads will also intervene. Things will get complicated then."
Shen Dong said, "We'll deal with whatever comes our way. No matter what, Mr. Chiang is the leader of Hung Hing. From his position, he can't openly deal with us, so he'll have to outsmart us at most. Everyone, remember this: there's no such thing as a free lunch. If one day Mr. Chiang suddenly gives you a free lunch, you must be very careful, because there's a 90% chance that the free lunch is poisoned."
Everyone nodded in unison.
On the other side, Jiang Tiansheng slammed his mobile phone hard onto the floor.
Chen Yao had been making Hung Hing white paper fans for so many years, but this was the first time he had ever seen Chiang Tin-sang so angry.
Even when facing the power-grabbing Liang Kun, Jiang Tiansheng always appeared to be in complete control.
This shows that Jiang Tiansheng lost his composure in the face of the combined forces of Shen Dong and Han Bin.
"Ah Yao, I'm sorry you had to go through this. Don't worry, I'll cover all the medical expenses and resettlement costs for the younger brothers."
After venting his anger, Jiang Tiansheng regained his composure.
Chen Yao said, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Tiansheng asked, "What's your opinion on today's meeting?"
Chen Yao pondered for a moment and said, "It's not optimistic. Shen Dong and Han Bin have clearly joined forces, with Ahua and Dinosaur close behind. Although Thirteen Sister hasn't spoken, her relationship with Han Bin is too ambiguous. Of the twelve branches, five are disloyal. If we don't handle this well, our Hung Hing risks falling apart."
