Chapter 395: A Big Deal
Liu Yaofang sneered, "The society won't pay for this. Since this was Chu Ying's plan, let Chu Ying pay for it."
Chu Ying was a man of the previous leader and held a lot of the former leader's property. Liu Yaofang thought that this was a good opportunity to raid Chu Ying's house and get back some of the property.
After making up his mind, Liu Yaofang first convicted Chu Ying, denounced his evil deeds, and then immediately ordered people to liquidate Chu Ying's property.
Chu Ying's faction, of course, refused and strongly opposed the move, but Liu Yaofang used the Yi Hai Gang as an excuse to forcefully confiscate the property. Ultimately, Liu Yaofang's faction was powerful, Chu Ying was absent from the overall situation, and Chu Ying was in the wrong. Ultimately, all of Chu Ying's property was confiscated, with some used as compensation and the rest secretly embezzled by Liu Yaofang.
Chu Ying knew nothing about this. He was in the hospital and was under heavy guard. He had no idea that both the Changxing Society and the Yihai Gang were using him as a scapegoat, and that he was responsible for paying for the losses of both groups.
The Changxing Society took part of Chu Ying's property to compensate the Yi Hai Gang. Luo Cheng accepted it but was very dissatisfied.
The Changxing Society was only willing to compensate for the losses of Xiangluo Street and add an additional one million yuan in apology fees. This amount of money was far less than the ten times what Luo Cheng wanted, so Luo Cheng was unwilling to settle the bill.
"I said ten times, and that's ten times, not a penny less! Besides Xiangluo Street, there's also compensation for the casualties of our gang members, as well as relocation fees for the brothers who were captured by the sir, and my confiscated gun. Ten times everything!"
Li Biao said with an apologetic smile, "Mr. Luo, we have already acknowledged the losses reported by Xiangluo Street and have also paid an additional one million for medical expenses. We are sincere in our intentions. Please give us some face."
The point is, everyone knows how much of the losses reported on Xiangluo Street are exaggerated. It's best to leave some room for improvement so we can meet again in the future.
Luo Cheng's face was grim and ugly. "Sincere? Putting aside other things, my face alone is worth more than this little money. You made me, Luo Cheng, lose face in the underworld, and you still dared to bargain. Do you think I, Luo Cheng, have no temper? Good! Very good! I, Luo Cheng, have started to do legitimate business in recent years and don't want to get involved in bloodshed. Do you think I am a toothless tiger and not a threat, right?"
Luo Cheng ordered Li Biao to be dragged away, his legs broken, and then thrown back to the Changxing Society.
This fight completely aroused the conflict.
Li Biao is the leader of the Changxing Society. He went to negotiate in a friendly manner but his leg was broken. The two countries did not kill the envoys when they were at war. Luo Cheng was so disrespectful to the Changxing Society. Liu Yaofang was also angry and vowed to take revenge on the Yihai Gang.
Luo Cheng was even more annoyed. Breaking Li Biao's legs did not satisfy his anger. He was tricked by the Changxing Society. Not only did he lose money, but he was also humiliated. He originally endured this for the sake of ten times the compensation.
Since the other party is unwilling to pay ten times the compensation, let’s start a war!
As a result, the conflict between the Yi Hai Gang and the Changxing Society escalated and frictions continued. Fights between the two societies broke out almost every day. Both sides suffered casualties every day, and the conflict escalated again and again.
Hu Xiaoxiao paid close attention to the situation of the two families. The situation was even more intense than she had imagined. Although there was no large-scale retaliation, friction occurred every day, and it was very lively with both sides going back and forth.
After Hu Xiaoxiao discussed with Huang Yuliang, he picked up the phone and called Luo Cheng.
Hu Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Mr. Luo, congratulations. I heard that Mr. Luo has made a fortune recently. How is it? Now that you have made so much money, when will you treat us to a meal? After all, we have known each other for so many years and are friends. If you are going to treat me, remember to invite me."
Although he said congratulations, it actually made people feel cold.
How could Luo Cheng not hear Hu Xiaoxiao's ridicule and kicking someone when they're down? "Miss Hu, you really like to watch the fun. Do you want me to give you some fun?"
The threat is self-evident.
Hu Xiaoxiao laughed again, sitting in her office chair, which spun with her relaxed mood. "Luo Sheng, why are you so angry? If you have a sore throat, ask your sister-in-law to make some herbal tea."
"If you're calling me to make fun of me, Luo Cheng, then hang up."
"Don't worry, what's there to worry about? Luo Sheng knows that I'm a very lucky person. I called you because I want to get rich with you. What's the matter? Luo Sheng is no longer interested in money?"
Luo Cheng began to not understand what Hu Xiaoxiao meant. He joined forces with the Changxing Society. Although they were targeting Huang Yuliang, Hu Xiaoxiao and Huang Yuliang were partners. Going after Huang Yuliang was equivalent to offending Hu Xiaoxiao. Yet he said he wanted to get rich together with him?
"What do you mean?"
"Isn't the meaning clear enough? The Changxing Society is causing trouble for us. If we don't fight back, won't anyone dare to bully us in the future?" Hu Xiaoxiao said, "If Mr. Luo is interested, you can discuss cooperation with Mr. Huang."
Luo Cheng frowned and asked, "I've been working with the Changxing Society to deal with you. We're enemies now, and you still want to cooperate with me?"
"Mr. Luo, you're joking. How can we be enemies? You cooperated with the Changxing Society because you were deceived by them. Moreover, you were dealing with Huang Yuliang, not me. Brother Shan even kindly gave me advice before, hoping that I could avoid this feud. So how could we be enemies? We were clearly still friends. As for Huang Yuliang, Mr. Huang and Mr. Luo had no friendship before. Unlike the Changxing Society, they pretend to be brothers but stab you in the back. Now that we know that you were deceived by the Changxing Society, of course we should settle the score with the perpetrator. Mr. Luo, you were humiliated and lost money by the Changxing Society, and we were also greatly harmed by the Changxing Society. Our enemies are clearly the same..."
With the help of Hu Xiaoxiao, Huang Yuliang and Luo Cheng met and talked several times. The two shook hands and made peace. They decided to work together to deal with the Changxing Society and formed an alliance.
With the addition of Huang Yuliang, the Yi Hai Gang's counterattack against the Changxing Society became more fierce.
Luo Cheng started out trying to save face, but in the end, he decided to work with Huang Yuliang to divide up the Changxing Society's territory.
Huang Yuliang's idea was very simple. He wanted to retaliate. Since he couldn't deal with the two major gangs at the same time with his current power, he would start with one of them and bring it down to scare the others. He would let the other gangs that were ready to make a move know the consequences of offending him, Huang Yuliang.
By the way, expand the territory and gain some properties, the best of both worlds.
Of course, Luo Cheng, the old fox, knew Huang Yuliang's idea, but it was not important. What was important was that he could benefit. If the Changxing Society could be brought down, the Yihai Gang would gain the most benefits, and Huang Yuliang could not compete with him at all.
As for whether Huang Yuliang would become so powerful after taking over part of the Changxing Society that he could compete with him, he was not worried at all.
Because in a few years, when Huang Yuliang grows to a point where his power is equal to his, Baogang will no longer be the Baogang it is today. By then, all the foreigners will be gone, the world will have changed, and the path of the underworld will no longer be viable.
He just took advantage of these years to strengthen himself, make as much money as he could, and then get out of the trouble as soon as possible to become a legitimate businessman.
Luo Cheng still had the same idea as before: to make a big deal before retiring.
