"Is that all?"
Zheng Shaojie asked calmly.
The Green Ghost sighed, "If only it were just that. According to my investigation, when Uncle Chai approached Bazhi Kun, who was in charge of selling drugs in the Green Gang, he not only asked for a resale fee, but also asked for 15% of the sales dividend. For this reason, Uncle Chai even signed a secret agreement with Bazhi Kun, allowing the Green Gang to sell goods at the border of his territory..."
"snort!"
Zheng Shaojie snorted angrily, slammed his right hand on the table, and cursed: "I knew it, this damn old guy only has money in his eyes. How many times have I told him not to touch that thing? It seems that he has turned a deaf ear to my advice!"
"Bang!"
He slammed his right fist on the table, and the lighter slipped out of his hand, smashing the exquisite porcelain on the table with the brush on it.
When the Red Ghost and the Green Ghost saw this, they were both startled.
The two looked at each other, the Green Ghost nodded slightly, the Red Ghost swallowed, walked forward carefully, picked up the lighter from the porcelain fragments, took out a cigarette, walked to Zheng Shaojie with a smile, and wanted to light a cigarette for him.
"Brother Prince, calm down, calm down!"
"Uncle Chai has always loved money, you know that, and it's not too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost. Now the batch of goods is still in our hands, we just need to call Uncle Chai and his trusted men, and just sell them without touching them!"
Zheng Shaojie glanced at him coldly.
After just one glance, the red ghost froze in his action of lighting a cigarette and did not dare to continue.
Zheng Shaojie said calmly: "Do you think so?"
The red ghost's heart trembled, and he lowered his head. He didn't dare to speak, and could only agree.
Zheng Shaojie sneered and said, "I know Uncle Chai better than you. He is a man of integrity, but he is also a complete bastard. This time, he has been aroused by the profits from this batch of goods. If I handle it with care, it will only make his greed grow stronger..."
Zheng Shaojie shook his head and said with certainty, "Believe me, he won't give up. Even if I dissuade him this time, he will only blame me for being nosy and blocking his way to wealth. He won't think I'm doing this for his own good. If there is such an opportunity again in the future, he will definitely keep it secret from me and go it alone. If Dad retires by then, I believe he will even do something stupid like starting his own business!"
The red ghost suddenly raised his head and said in astonishment: "That's not possible, that's Uncle Chai, the original territory of the Red Gang was won by him with his life!"
Zheng Shaojie said calmly: "The merits are the merits, the faults are the faults, the two cannot be offset - Ah Qing!"
Qing Gui immediately took a step forward and said respectfully, "Brother Prince!"
There was a trace of struggle in Zheng Shaojie's eyes, but he finally waved his hand and said softly: "Go contact Tiancan Dique and get rid of Uncle Chai!"
The blue ghost and the red ghost looked at each other, the latter couldn't help swallowing, the former was also shocked, but still said respectfully: "Yes!"
After receiving the order, the two turned around and left the study together.
Looking at the backs of the Red Ghost and the Green Ghost, Zheng Shaojie couldn't help but sigh softly.
Before knowing the profit of this batch of goods, Chigui was still indignant about Uncle Chai's behavior, but after knowing the huge profits behind it, Chigui suddenly changed his attitude and began to speak carefully for Uncle Chai.
Money can move people’s hearts!
Even the most loyal red ghost could not escape this truth of the world.
Although he knew that this was a normal reaction of gangsters, Zheng Shaojie was still somewhat disappointed.
After all, gangs are gangs. No matter how noble their stance is, they cannot escape the common problems of bandits.
It is undoubtedly a fantasy to want to achieve anything by relying on these people!
The ones who can truly realize his ambitions are those who work hard in the dark and speak for the people...
Thinking of this, Zheng Shaojie couldn't help but open the drawer of the desk and took out a magazine with three words written on it - New Youth!
…
…
On the stairs outside the study, an old man with white hair and beard was climbing the stairs with a middle-aged man wearing glasses.
The Red Ghost and the Green Ghost happened to walk out of the study at this time. When they saw the old man, they hurriedly stopped and moved aside.
"Uncle San!" x2
"It's Ah Chi and Ah Qing!"
Looking at the Green Ghost and the Red Ghost who had just walked out of the study, Uncle San's eyes flashed with surprise, but he still smiled and asked, "Is Ajie here?"
The red ghost smiled and said, "The prince is in the study."
Uncle San smiled and nodded, "That's good. I'm here to discuss some things with Ajie, and chat about family matters. You two have done a great job this time. As your elder, Uncle San is also very pleased to see that there are successors. By the way, are you free tomorrow? Uncle San will treat you to a celebration banquet!"
"Haha, Third Uncle..."
The red ghost had a smile on his face and was about to politely refuse, saying that he had something to do tomorrow, but the green ghost next to him interrupted and said, "Okay, Third Uncle, we two brothers are just worried about where to treat our brothers to a meal, and you actually came to our door - let me make it clear first, we are here to eat and drink for free!"
"Of course, Third Uncle is also a man of good reputation. How can he let a meritorious official pay for it?"
Uncle San answered with a smile while looking at the expression on Qing Gui's face.
Seeing that he was smiling all the time, Uncle San chuckled and said, "How about tomorrow at noon?"
Qing Gui readily agreed: "Okay, I'd love to!"
After the Third Uncle and the middle-aged man with glasses left, Chigui, who had remained silent, turned around, frowned, and whispered: "Ah Qing, have you forgotten what the prince just told us? We have something to do tomorrow and can't attend the banquet!"
“…”
The smile on Qing Gui's face faded, and he glanced at him coldly: "Fool, do you really think that Third Uncle wants to treat us to a meal?"
Seeing the coldness in the green ghost's eyes, the red ghost suddenly came back to his senses, widened his eyes, and whispered: "Is he testing us?"
Qing Gui glanced at him and shook his head, saying, "I guess he's here to speak for Uncle Chai. Well, don't worry about it. We are the crown prince's confidants. We will be the crown prince's third uncle and Uncle Chai in the future. Just follow the crown prince and don't worry about those trivial things."
"You know what kind of person the prince is. As long as you don't seek death, even if the sky falls, the prince will help us..."
Hearing this, the red ghost shrank his neck and muttered, "You're right, I'd better listen to you and the prince and be a good lackey. These big guys' affairs are not something I can get involved in with my brain..."
The green ghost twitched the corner of his mouth, shook his head, and walked down the stairs on his own.
"Hey, Ah Qing, wait for me!"
The red ghost came to his senses and hurriedly chased after him.
…
…
“Boom boom boom—”
There was a knock on the door. Zheng Shaojie, who was flipping through a magazine in the study, paused, opened the drawer, put the magazine back in place, and said calmly, "Come in."
Uncle San pushed the door open and walked in, laughing and saying, "Ajie, you did a great job leading the team to kill the Crazy Chen from the Axe Gang this time. When that guy gets crazy, even Boss Zheng and I are scared of him. You actually took hundreds of people to take him down. You really deserve to be Boss Zheng's son!"
Zheng Shaojie smiled and raised his hand gently, saying, "It's Uncle San. Come and sit down!"
After getting Zheng Shaojie's permission, Uncle San pulled out the chair opposite the desk and sat down with a smile.
Zheng Shaojie glanced at the respectful middle-aged man behind his uncle and asked with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment, uncle. Why did you come to see me now? Is there something wrong?"
"Why, are you tired of it?" Uncle San joked with a smile, "If there's nothing wrong, then Uncle San can't come to your temple?"
"How could that be!" Zheng Shaojie said he dared not, and said with a smile, "What are you talking about? You watched me grow up, and you were the first among the eight uncles in the Inner Eight Hall to express your support for me. My respect for you is second only to my father!"
Hearing Zheng Shaojie's sincere words, Uncle San showed a relieved smile on his face.
He said with a smile: "Once this matter spreads, the name of Hong Gang's Prince Jie will be truly famous. The gang is also talking about it, and all the uncles are praising him. It is estimated that it is a foregone conclusion that Boss Zheng will pass on the throne in the future!"
“…”
Zheng Shaojie's heart moved, as if he had heard the hidden meaning of his uncle's words, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
"Uncle San, you know my temper. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
"…Then I'll just say it straight!"
The smile on Uncle San's face also faded, and he turned serious and said sincerely: "Let Lao Chai go. After this, the eight of us will fully support you to take the throne!"
Zheng Shaojie said calmly: "So Uncle San came to make a deal with me..."
Uncle San shook his head and said seriously, "No, I'm just here to plead for Lao Chai. Whether you agree or not, I will fully support you, so this is not a deal, it's just an old man's request to save face!"
Looking at the sincere eyes of his uncle, Zheng Shaojie sighed softly and said in a faint tone: "Since you have lowered your face to come to me, you should also know what Uncle Chai has done, right?"
"……Know."
Uncle San sighed and said sincerely, "Lao Chai is old after all, his eyesight is dim and he can't see the way forward clearly. If you let him go this time, I promise he will never do it again!"
Zheng Shaojie said calmly: "Do you believe this yourself?"
Uncle San fell silent after hearing this, and a silent expression appeared on his old face.
Zheng Shaojie said softly: "Given the relationship between you two, you should have persuaded Uncle Chai before coming to see me... But you still came to see me. I'm sure you know what this means."
After saying that, Zheng Shaojie did not give Third Uncle a chance to explain. He just leaned back on the chair and said softly, "Besides, you are late. I have already ordered the killer to get rid of Uncle Chai!"
"…You've already given the order?!"
Uncle San stood up suddenly and looked at Zheng Shaojie across the desk in astonishment.
Suddenly, he recalled the Green Ghost and the Red Ghost he had just met.
Thinking of Qing Gui's natural and quick reaction, Uncle San couldn't help but sit down dejectedly, and sighed softly: "Young people are formidable... Young people are formidable!"
