Ah-hua said, "Last night was Jimmy's birthday. Brother Dong, my brothers and I played until 2 a.m. before going home. We didn't have time to go and kill Big B and his whole family. But you, Fatty Lai, I strongly suspect that Brother B died at your hands, because you've always coveted the prosperity of Causeway Bay."
Fatty Li flew into a rage: "Bullshit!"
Ahua said calmly, "You look like someone who's furious and embarrassed after their secret has been exposed."
Shen Dong gave Ahua an approving look, stood up, and said, "I've heard some rumors in the underworld that I killed Brother B's entire family. Now, in front of everyone, I solemnly swear that if I, Shen Dong, did this, may I die without a burial place and never be reincarnated."
Han Bin said, "Ah Dong, there's no need for this. We trust you."
Everyone else chimed in.
Seeing this, Fatty Li sat down with a sullen expression.
"Alright," said Liang Kun. "The most urgent thing now is to find Big B. Who saw him last night?"
The group looked at each other and shook their heads.
Shen Dong thought to himself that this handsome Kun really knew how to act.
"How about this," said Liang Kun. "We'll search for Big B together for a week. I'll temporarily send people to manage his territory. If we can't find him or if something really happens to Big B, then we'll choose a new boss for Causeway Bay. What do you all think?"
Chen Yao immediately replied, "I have no objection."
Everyone else agreed.
"Any more questions?" asked Liang Kun.
Prince said, "Brother Kun, when will the police stop checking license plates? My place in Tsim Sha Tsui is almost going to go under."
Brother Ji said, "The prince is right. My place has no customers now, and the daily income is less than the expenses."
The other leaders also chimed in.
Liang Kun frowned and said, "I will find a way to handle the police matter. Don't worry, things will return to normal soon."
Everyone curled their lip, scoffing at Liang Kun's words.
If he could handle it, he wouldn't have waited until now.
After the meeting, Thirteen Sister, Han Bin, Dinosaur, Ahua, and Shen Dong found a teahouse and sat down together to drink tea.
Thirteen Sister said, "Ah Dong, I'm planning to open a women's clothing store on Bolan Street. Can you supply me with the goods?"
Shen Dong was taken aback and asked, "Why would you suddenly have such an idea?"
Thirteen Sister said helplessly, "The police come to my place almost every night, which makes the customers afraid to come here anymore."
"This experience taught me that relying solely on shady dealings won't work. It's best to have a legitimate business so that I don't end up starving."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "I see. Okay, no problem, I'll take care of your goods and give you the lowest price."
Thirteen Sister picked up a cup of tea and said happily, "I knew you were the most loyal person, thank you."
Shen Dong touched her hand and said, "Don't mention it, it's nothing."
Han Bin said, "Ah Dong, I heard that you and Liang Kun set up a clothing factory and an instant noodle factory in Ah Hua's territory, and the customers are our compatriots in the north, is that right?"
Shen Dong nodded and said, "That's right."
Han Bin asked, "Can I earn a lot?"
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Brother Bin, this is a trade secret. I can only tell you that the profits are very considerable. Of course, it can't compare to your smuggling."
Han Bin scoffed and said, "Don't give me that. How would you know how much I earn?"
Shen Dong said, "I sent people to investigate the situation in the north. The price difference between the two sides, plus the exchange rate, is enough to make your profits two or three times, or even higher. Am I right?"
Han Bin chuckled and said, "It's not as amazing as you make it out to be. I also need to make some costs. Ah Dong, I'm asking you this not for any other reason than that I think you'd better not get too close to Liang Kun."
Shen Dong's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Brother Bin, what do you mean by that?"
Han Bin said, "We're all on the same side, so I'll be frank. I suspect that Big B's entire family has been killed by Liang Kun."
Thirteen Sister asked, "Why do you think that?"
Han Bin shrugged and said, "Intuition. Also, the police have been keeping a close eye on Hung Hing lately; there's definitely someone pulling the strings behind the scenes."
Shen Dong said, "To be able to mobilize the entire Hong Kong police force to deal with Hung Hing, one must be at least a chief superintendent or higher. Heh, there's only one person in Hong Kong who has connections with Hung Hing and can speak with such a high-ranking officer."
The dinosaur asked curiously, "Who? I'll go chop him up."
Han Bin patted his head and said, "Who else could it be?"
Ahua said, "It's Mr. Jiang."
Dinosaur exclaimed in shock, "Mr. Chiang is behind the Hung Hing movement? No way!"
Shen Dong laughed and said, "He's not targeting Hung Hing, he's targeting Lung Kwan. We've just been implicated a little."
Thirteen Sister said, "Ah Dong, I remember you said before that Handsome Kun couldn't beat Mr. Chiang. Now it seems that's true."
Han Bin's heart skipped a beat. He pointed at Chen Dong and cursed, "Damn it. So that's what you were planning all along."
The dinosaur asked, "Big brother, what are you saying?"
Han Bin said, "Think about it, Liang Kun can't beat Mr. Jiang, and the final result will inevitably be his death. If Liang Kun dies, what will happen to the money he invested in the clothing factory and the instant noodle factory?"
"Furthermore, once Mr. Chiang takes power, it will definitely be impossible for him to remove Ahua."
"At the same time, the six streets in Mong Kok will return to Ah Tung's hands."
"Holy crap."
Thirteen Sister slammed her hand on the table and said, "Liang Kun has been in power for more than two months, and you have successfully pushed Ahua to the top and swindled tens of millions of yuan from Liang Kun. Adong, your trick of getting something for nothing is too ruthless."
Dinosaur looked at Shen Dong in shock, and eight words suddenly popped into his mind: "Strategic planning and decisive victory."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "You overestimate me. How could I have thought of so many things?"
Han Bin snorted and said, "You think more than we do. You plan ten steps ahead for every one you take. Ah Dong, I'm so glad we became friends. If we were enemies, I probably wouldn't have peace of mind even in my dreams."
Thirteen Sister and Dinosaur nodded at the same time.
Shen Dong chuckled and said, "Brother Bin, don't flatter me. Let's get down to business. I reckon Mr. Jiang will soon step in to deal with Liang Kun. We'd better cooperate with him. Otherwise, once he takes power, he'll definitely make things difficult for us."
Han Bin said, "That's right. But, Ah Dong, now that you have plenty of money and your business is booming, haven't you ever thought about competing with Mr. Jiang for the top spot?"
Shen Dong replied without hesitation, "I've never thought about it. My goal is to make a lot of money in business. Whoever wants to be the leader of Hung Hing can be. As long as it doesn't interfere with my making money, I'll support whoever it is."
