Chapter 505: Losing the fight means paying compensation
“Let go, let go…”
After struggling for more than ten minutes, Crow decided to let the murderer Cao's wife go.
"Brother, are you letting me go now?"
"The rules of the underworld are that if you come out to kill someone, their entire family will be killed. There's no reason to give the murderer Cao a chance to change his wife. Let him go quickly, quickly!"
If you don't let him go, Brother Crow will be furious.
Kidnapping someone's wife is both a form of fun and a threat.
But the murderer Cao's wife is really hard to describe. He doesn't want to get into trouble himself, and he also wants the other party to change his wife openly.
He would never do such a thing that would benefit others at the expense of himself.
So the crow was left alone.
…
Upon learning about this, Lao Cao was furious.
He immediately sent someone to settle the score with the Crow, but the guy was too cunning and had already run away without a trace.
Fortunately, my wife was unharmed, so I let this matter go for the time being.
With the new gang taking over, the old local gangs also have to make a statement.
This is not a rule, but a social custom.
The other party has already compromised, acknowledged the existence of the Xiaomeng, and sent the post, so there is no reason to refuse.
"Brother, are you going or not?"
Lao Cao took the post and asked Lei Zhen.
There are two copies of the post, one for Lei Zhen and one for Lao Cao.
"Why not?"
"I'm afraid it's the Hongmen Banquet."
Lao Cao's worries are correct. The local gangs and the police have always adopted a high-pressure attitude towards them.
Because the big circle back then was so cruel, people came here just to commit crimes, which was completely different from gangs.
Moreover, he suffered a great loss this time and was very reluctant to acknowledge the Alliance.
I'm afraid they will take action in such a situation. It's up to them whether they admit it or not.
"We have to get through this one no matter what." Lei Zhen laughed, "It's all our first time as human beings. Some teach others, and some are taught. Haha."
"That's right, then let's teach them a lesson!" Lao Cao also laughed.
There is a ceremony for admitting who is in charge, which is that all the leaders sit together and discuss territory matters.
Although this was not something that was discussed, the long walk must be done.
One is to officially announce to the underworld that there is a new gang, and the other is to use some rules to impose restrictions.
To put it simply, you have the ability to eat from the big pot with us, but you have to abide by our rules, otherwise you will lose your job.
After completing the ceremony, it means you can eat together.
As for how much you can eat, it all depends on your ability.
The next morning, Lei Zhen and Lao Cao took two luxury cars to Central and arrived at Yongchang Building.
This place integrates shopping, entertainment, leisure and dining, and is a company under the Ngee Ann Gang.
After the two got off the car, they were warmly welcomed.
There was not only a red carpet, but also lion dancing. The scene was grand and gave enough face.
"Welcome, Mr. Cao."
"Welcome, Mr. Lei."
The person who came to greet them was the leader of the Ngee Ann Gang. He was wearing a neat suit and gold-rimmed glasses, and looked very gentle.
But in fact, this is a famous vicious tiger in Hong Kong Island. He has chopped his way up from the bottom, and his hands are stained with countless blood.
"Please come in, Mr. Cao. I will introduce you to the leaders of all the gangs later."
"good."
Lao Cao walked in with seven or eight of his most capable brothers and was taken to the room where the person in charge was.
The next step is to arrange Lei Zhen.
"Mr. Lei, Mr. Jiang, Mr. Luo, and Mr. Guo are waiting for you on the top floor. Please follow me."
The person in charge is the boss, who is at the same level as Lao Cao.
Normally, the person who is in charge of a gang is the most powerful one, but there are special cases, such as Mr. Jiang of the Yi'an Gang, who are the leaders behind the scenes.
They rarely show up in public and don't even care about gang affairs, but they can decide who will be the next leader.
"Thank you."
Lei Zhen took King Qin and Sun Yinhu and took the elevator to the top floor.
This is a top-floor villa with a swimming pool and even a helicopter pad. It is extremely luxurious.
Mr. Jiang from the Yi'an Gang, Mr. Luo from 21K, and Mr. Guo from Shenghe Club, as well as Lei Zhen, are waiting upstairs.
As for the other gang leaders, they are not here because there is still a gap in their status.
"Mr. Lei, welcome!"
"I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Lei, you're young and promising."
"No, no, thank you all for your care. I am very grateful..."
He was very polite and enthusiastic.
They were observing Lei Zhen and all showed surprise at the same time, because he was too young and there was a sense of disparity between him and the methods he used.
Lei Zhen was also observing them.
Mr. Jiang from the Ngee Ann Gang was all smiles, giving people a very generous feeling; Mr. Luo from 21K was thin and seemed easy to get along with.
Mr. Guo from Shenghehui has the temperament of a Confucian businessman and is more like a successful businessman.
But these are just first impressions.
Whether it is Mr. Jiang, Mr. Luo, or Mr. Guo, they are all at the top of the Hong Kong gang pyramid and hold the power of life and death.
"Mr. Lei, I have prepared some special dishes on the side. Why don't you let these two young brothers go over and have a rest?" Mr. Jiang said with a smile.
"Since it is Mr. Jiang's good intention, King Qin and you should go and have a rest." Lei Zhen waved his hand.
The boss is talking here, so the younger brother has to stay away.
"Wait a minute—" Lei Zhen said to the King of Qin and the other man, "Don't fight. The guest should follow the host's wishes."
After giving the instructions, he seemed to feel something was wrong and quickly apologized to the three bosses.
"We two are used to being wild, and we're afraid we'll leave all of you behind." Lei Zhen said with a smile, "It's best to give you some warnings. Sorry."
What a loud tone and what a crazy attitude.
Mr. Jiang kept smiling, Mr. Luo frowned slightly, and Mr. Guo smiled while biting a cigar, but there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
Lei Zhen captured the subtle expressions of the three people clearly.
It’s no wonder that the Yi’an Gang is the most powerful and has transformed the fastest. Only Mr. Jiang remained expressionless throughout the whole process.
"Hong Kong Island is a great place. It's fair, just, open, free, and ruled by law..." Lei Zhen sighed. "This reminds me of the first unequal treaty signed in 1842, which ceded Hong Kong Island to Britain and paid 21 million silver dollars in compensation. So much has changed in the blink of an eye. A century has passed. Every time I think of it, I can't help but shed tears."
The three dragon heads looked at Lei Zhen with different expressions on their faces, waiting for him to continue.
"Now that I'm only a year and a half away from returning, I feel deeply moved. The child who left home is finally coming back..."
No one knew what Lei Zhen wanted to say, but he looked very excited, as if he had been looking forward to returning for a long time.
"Mr. Lei is a man of great character, and his patriotism is something we deeply admire," said Mr. Jiang, with admiration. "We are also eager to return and are willing to witness Hong Kong Island achieve greater success together."
"Mr. Jiang, you may have misunderstood."
"What I meant was that if you lose a fight, you have to cede territory, and if you lose a fight, you have to pay money. Since you lost this time, you should pay some money."
"It doesn't matter how much it is, a billion or eight billion is enough as a gesture. We are in this business, so we have to follow the rules. What do you think, leaders?"
After these words were spoken, all three of them stood there in a daze.
Maybe no one has ever dared to be so arrogant in front of him, or maybe he felt that what Lei Zhen said... made sense?
