Finally hearing a clue about the main quest, Yang Sheng breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although Yang Sheng had already adopted the mindset of "every day I can live is a day more" before entering the cycle of reincarnation, no one would want to die if they could live.
He had the mindset to fight to the death, but he didn't want to die in vain.
Upon hearing Chai Jiu mention the Qi Family Saber, Yang Sheng asked calmly, "The Qi Family Saber? What is that?"
Chai Jiu raised an eyebrow: "You don't even know about the family heirloom of Hong Shenglian?"
Yang Sheng said with a wry smile, "I've only been with Hong Sheng Lian for a few months."
Chai Jiu gently shook his head and said, "It's not something of great value, but it can be considered an antique. However, it is of great significance to my Hongmen lineage and Hong Shenglian."
That thing was a Qi Family Knife from the Qi Family Army of the Ming Dynasty. It was passed down as a token of a branch of the Hongmen during the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. When the Hongmen was at its most prosperous, there were many such tokens.
Hong Shenglian has always been a direct descendant of the Hongmen, so it's not surprising that he has such a thing. This can also prove Hong Shenglian's status as a direct descendant of the Hongmen.
Therefore, all the disciples of Hong Shenglian attach great importance to it and worship it every year. It is only brought out on important occasions.
If you ever decide to establish yourself in a business or open a branch of the Qi family, you will also have to swear a blood oath before this Qi family sword.
At this point, Chai Jiu suddenly gave Yang Sheng a deep look and said, "Kid, you're a talent, not the kind of thug who only grows muscles but not brains."
It's a pity you stayed with Hong Sheng Lian. Those three old guys, He Wenchang and his gang, will never give you a chance to open your own branch or make a name for yourself.
Ten years have passed, and the entire Hong Sheng Lian has only produced one Red Pole, Di Wei. If they don't die, you'll have a hard time getting ahead.
If you're willing to join my British Associated Press, you can choose any branch in Yau Tsim Mong, I'll open a branch for you right away and you'll become a Double Flower Red Pole!
Don't worry, I'll talk to He Wenchang, and I guarantee he won't dare say a single 'no'."
If it were before, Yang Sheng would definitely have agreed to Chai Jiu's request to switch to the British Associated Press.
None of those three old guys from Hong Shenglian are reliable, and they're weak too. It would be better for them to join a large gang and use their strength to find clues.
But now that he knows the Qi Family Blade from the main quest is in Hong Shenglian, he certainly won't agree.
After all, this world is just a passing place for him, and he has no intention of being a gangster here for the rest of his life.
“I’m sorry, Brother Chai Jiu. When I first came to Hong Kong, I was so poor that I could hardly afford to eat. It was Hung Shing Lian who took me into their church and saved me from starving to death on the streets.”
I don't know if Uncle Chang and the others will pressure me, but if I just switch to the British Associated Press like this, it would be too ungrateful.
Today I was able to switch to the British Society for the sake of your double-flower red stick position, Brother Chai Jiu. In the future, I may switch to other societies due to other conditions.
If I agreed to your request so easily today, would you still trust me? Aren't you afraid I'll become the next Luo Rong?
Chai Jiu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "To be honest, not being able to trust them is a real dilemma."
Alright, kid, good luck to you.
In short, if you want to rise to power in Hong Sheng Lian, you not only need to be wary of those three old guys, but also of Di Wei.
"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Chai Jiu."
After saying goodbye to Chai Jiu, Yang Sheng felt an extreme sense of exhaustion as soon as he stepped out of Rongsheng Restaurant.
Although he had only been in this world for a dozen hours, Yang Sheng had already experienced two battles and an extremely dangerous fight to the death. He also had to outwit these old foxes one after another, keeping his nerves on edge.
At this moment, things finally came to an end, and I felt relaxed, but the feeling of exhaustion also welled up in my heart.
However, it's not time to completely relax yet.
Yang Sheng's backpack also contained various items he had looted from Luo Rong, which he had no intention of handing over to Hong Shenglian.
Although he cannot take this money out of the cycle of reincarnation, it will give him more autonomy in this world.
Therefore, Yang Sheng did not return to Hung Shing Lian immediately to report back. Instead, he went to a small attic he rented in Kwun Tong and hid all the money there before returning to Hung Shing Lian.
Inside Hong Shenglian, the three elders and Di Wei sat silently in the inner hall, their expressions a mixture of shock and disbelief.
The foreigners, including Wen, had already returned ahead of schedule, bringing news that Yang Sheng had killed Luo Rong.
They never imagined that Yang Sheng and his team could actually kill Luo Rong, the most powerful leader of the British Associated Press, with just six people.
Even though Uncle Chang had given Yang Sheng 300,000 yuan before, he didn't have much confidence in Yang Sheng and wasn't genuinely convinced by him.
That was simply because Yang Sheng didn't fall for the trap and refused to obediently go to Luo Rong's place to die.
Left with no other choice, Uncle Chang finally agreed to Yang Sheng's plan.
In any case, the maximum loss is only 300,000 yuan and a few underlings. It avoids offending Luo Rong and prevents him from handing over his own underlings and damaging his reputation. It can be considered as losing money to avoid disaster.
Who would have thought that Yang Sheng would actually pull off something so out of the blue?
At this moment, Diwei suddenly said, "Don't think too highly of things. It's a happy ending for everyone that Yang Sheng is dead, but he killed Luo Rong, which may bring even bigger trouble."
Overnight, two of the three tigers of the Commonwealth News Agency were killed by Yang Sheng, and Luo Rong was also taken down by him. How could the Commonwealth News Agency possibly let this go?
The expressions of Uncle Chang and the other two changed slightly, clearly indicating that they had also thought of this.
Just then, the henchman outside reported that Yang Sheng had returned, and Uncle Chang quickly said, "Let him in quickly."
Yang Sheng strode into the hall and said in a deep voice, "Old Master, I have not failed you."
From this day forward, no one outside will dare call me the Hung Sheng Lian Sunset Club anymore!
