Chapter 18 The Big Boss's Murder Accident Revealed
"Mad Dog Qiang! What do you mean? When did it become your Dongxing Society's place to run wild on this street?" Ah Gui stepped forward, his eyes fierce, and the bandages on his body did not affect his aura.
Behind him, several brothers from the Heyi Clan stood with their muscles tense, ready to pounce.
Mad Dog Qiang, true to his name, had a manic look in his eyes and grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: "Hey kid, don't talk so loudly! When did Portland Street start putting your name, He Yi Tang, on it? Might makes right! Where's your Boss Li? Did he get beaten up at the funeral and is hiding at home crying? Hahahaha!"
The Dongxing boys behind him burst into laughter.
"I'll fucking kill you!" Ah Gui roared and stepped forward, but was pulled back by a slender hand.
"Brother Gui, Brother Gui! Calm down!" Fang Che peeked out from behind Ah Gui, his handsome face startling even the Dongxing guy opposite him. "It's not worth getting angry with this kind of person! We're civilized people, we have to be reasonable!"
As he spoke, he mentally cursed: "Holy crap! They're about to start fighting already? My foot's still swollen! Where's Brother Li? Didn't the script say the big shots always make their final appearance?"
"Reason?" Mad Dog Qiang seemed to have heard a joke, his gaze sweeping over Fang Che's face. "Handsome, you want to reason with me? Why don't you come back with me? I have a big bed, I can 'talk' to you slowly, okay?"
The vulgarity in his words was undisguised, which made Dongxingzi laugh again.
Fang Che's stomach churned, his inner monologue: "Damn it! This bastard's eyes are disgusting!"
But he maintained his composure and cleared his throat:
"Ahem, Brother Qiang, right? Look, Portland Street here, they believe in first come, first served, and harmony brings wealth."
"We've been operating here for a long time, and the neighbors all know us. Your Tung Sing Society suddenly getting involved—isn't that inappropriate? It could easily trigger large-scale brawls, causing unnecessary casualties and property damage, affecting Hong Kong's social stability and harmony. The police won't be happy..."
He tried to persuade the other party with a theory that blended Northeastern chatter with the concept of the rule of law.
However, Mad Dog Qiang and his men looked at him like he was an idiot.
"What's with this nonsense?"
"Maybe she was scared out of her wits? She's so beautiful, it's a pity she's not very bright."
Ah Gui was so angry his veins were throbbing. He grabbed Fang Che and pulled him behind him: "You're talking to these bastards?! It's like casting pearls before swine! Get out of the way! I'll deal with them!"
Just as Ah Gui was about to get into a fight with Mad Dog, a conflict was about to break out!
Just then—
"Oh."
A cool, light laugh reached everyone's ears clearly.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
In the shadows of the street corner, a black Mercedes-Benz was parked.
The car door opened, and Jiang Tianqi, dressed in a silver-gray suit, stepped out.
He was followed by only two bodyguards in black, and an invisible sense of oppression enveloped the entire room.
"Young Master Jiang!" Mad Dog Qiang immediately dropped his arrogance and bowed respectfully.
Jiang Tianqi didn't look at him. His gaze first fell on A Gui, a playful look on his lips, before finally settling on Fang Che's face.
"Little friend, we meet again." Jiang Tianqi's voice was gentle, yet scrutinizing. "The fire in the mourning hall was quite creative. Didn't Li Hanzhou enshrine you, his 'lucky star'?"
Fang Che's heart skipped a beat: Holy crap! This smiling tiger remembers me?!
He forced a smile and said, "Mr. Jiang, right? The funeral hall incident was an accident! Purely an accident! Today we're discussing Portland Street. Please have your people leave immediately!"
Jiang Tianqi seemed to have heard something amusing. He pushed up his glasses and his smile deepened: "Portland Street? When did Portland Street become the private property of Wo Yee Tong? Hong Kong is a place where the law prevails. Whoever has the strength can stand firm."
He took a step forward, his gaze fixed on Fang Che: "Li Hanzhou has retreated himself, sending out a kid and a bunch of brutes to put on a show? Does Heyitang have no one left?"
These words were extremely insulting, and Ah Gui and his brothers' eyes turned red.
Fang Che was furious. This bastard called them reckless and implied that they were "immature children"!
"You're talking nonsense!" Fang Che's anger flared up, and he burst out in his Northeastern accent, "Our Brother Li is a master strategist! Why would he need to personally deal with you? Let me tell you, Portland Street is our Heyitang property! Not even Jesus could stop it! I'm telling you!"
His bold and outspoken Northeastern accent, coupled with his face, which was made even more vivid by anger, created a truly shocking effect.
Someone from the Dongxing Society couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Jiang Tianqi was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled: "Little friend, you're quite interesting. It's a pity to be fighting and killing with Li Hanzhou. Why don't you come with me? My place is more suitable for you."
Poaching! Poaching in public!
Ah Gui was so angry he almost drew his sword.
Fang Che felt doubly insulted!
They questioned his abilities and even tried to ruin his brotherhood with Brother Li!
"Follow you? Follow you my foot!" Fang Che stood with his hands on his hips, his ankle aching, but he couldn't lose his momentum. "I was born a member of Heyitang, and I'll die a member of Heyitang! Brother Li and I are sworn brothers! Stop trying to sow discord! You look like a wicked person, your face is as white as a hanged ghost!"
Jiang Tianqi's smile froze, and his eyes suddenly turned sinister.
He had never been subjected to such a blatant personal attack in his life.
The scene was deathly silent.
Even Ah Gui was stunned—this idiot, his insults are really vicious!
Just as Jiang Tianqi was about to have an attack—
"My brother, there's no need for Young Master Jiang to trouble himself."
A lazy yet cold voice came from behind the crowd.
Everyone turned around abruptly.
Li Hanzhou was already standing there at some point.
He was still wearing a black shirt, his face was a little pale, but his posture was upright.
Those deep phoenix eyes met Jiang Tianqi's gaze directly.
He didn't look at Fang Che and A Gui, but simply straightened his cuffs and walked over step by step.
Wherever it passed, the crowd automatically parted to make way.
The brothers of Heyitang shouted in unison, "Brother Li!"
The Dongxing Society members instinctively stepped back.
Li Hanzhou walked to Fang Che's side and gently pushed him behind him.
This action is highly protective.
Fang Che was instantly moved to tears, his heart screaming: Brother Li! You're finally here! Did you see that? I was super brave just now! I didn't let you down!
Li Hanzhou then looked at Jiang Tianqi, "Poolan Street, Heyitang has eaten. Your men, get out now. Or, I'll help you get out."
The gentle mask on Jiang Tianqi's face vanished. He stared at Li Hanzhou, then glanced at Fang Che, who was being protected behind him and secretly making faces. He sneered, "Li Hanzhou, you're always so confident. Too bad, times have changed."
He paused, then looked meaningfully at Fang Che: "Sometimes, what you find may not be a treasure, but rather the root of your troubles."
Li Hanzhou's eyes flashed with a fierce light, his killing intent palpable.
The Dong Sheng Society henchmen, who had just been laughing and cursing, suddenly fell silent as if they had been choked.
Several timid individuals instinctively took a half-step back, avoiding the direct gaze.
