Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Chapter 109 Twenty-five boys!
On that day, all the prominent triad leaders and bigwigs in Hong Kong's underworld, regardless of whether they had any grudges against Chiang Tin-sang, came to see him off. Only Hung Lok leader Piao Ge did not show up.

It can be said that Jiang Tiansheng's death caused a shock throughout the entire martial arts world.

Jiang Tiansheng's life has not been in vain.

After a busy day, we finally finished handling Jiang Tiansheng's funeral arrangements.

After everyone had left, Chen Jiajun asked Uncle Xing, "Uncle Xing, hasn't Jiang Tianyang replied?"

“Ah Da, you haven’t been with Hung Hing for very long. Here’s what happened.” Uncle Hing looked troubled as he recounted the story.

"Mr. Jiang and his brother had a feud. After Brother Zhen passed away, they established a rule of having two dragon heads."

But as you know, two tigers cannot share one mountain. So Mr. Chiang used a scheme to send Chiang Tin-yeung to Stanley. After Chiang Tin-yeung's release, he gave him a sum of money to do business in Siam. From then on, Chiang Tin-yeung never returned to Hong Kong.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiajun frowned: "Your own brother is dead and you won't even show up?"

Uncle Xing shook his head and said, "Alas, there's nothing I can do. The funeral arrangements you made for Mr. Jiang today were quite grand. Who in the martial arts world would dare to say that you are disloyal and unjust?"

Uncle Xing misunderstood Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun originally intended to take advantage of Jiang Tianyang's arrival to kill him as well, thus completely eliminating any future trouble the Jiang family might cause.

After all, Jiang Tianyang was more astute and more skillful than Jiang Tiansheng.

As long as Jiang Tianyang is not eliminated, Chen Jiajun will always feel that there is a thorn in his side.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiajun said, "Go and call a meeting."

……

Half an hour later.

Hung Hing Headquarters, Chung Yi Hall.

Chen Jiajun reached out and took the three incense sticks handed over by Uncle Xing. All the Hung Hing leaders held incense sticks in their hands, lined up behind Chen Jiajun, and bowed three times to Guan Yu.

Chen Jiajun sat in the head seat, still wearing that black suit.

Apart from the prince, the leaders of Hung Hing FIT took their seats on either side of the long table.

Silence fell over the hall. An invisible pressure swept over the leaders and members of the Red Guards. Some dared not look Chen Jiajun in the eye and turned their heads away.

Inside the dimly lit incense hall, candlelight flickered.

Chen Jiajun's face was half hidden in the darkness, while the other half of his profile looked even more majestic in the candlelight.

"Have you found any clues these past few days?" Chen Jiajun asked after looking around.

A few days ago, Chan Ka-Chun, in the name of the Hung Hing leader, issued a million-dollar order to collect clues, which caused a sensation throughout the underworld.

Instantly, the entire martial arts world went mad.

Especially those young hooligans from the bottom of society.

What's the point of living like this? It's all about money!

Uncle Xing shook his head and said, "Ah Da, we've already spent nearly ten million in silver, but we haven't found a single useful clue."

Of course, there were no clues at all, since the mastermind behind Jiang Tiansheng's death was now sitting in the top position.

Chen Jiajun shook his head: "Any new leads from the police?"

“I spoke with a trainee inspector in charge of the case, and he said that, based on the current situation, the possibility of Hung Lok being a ghost cannot be ruled out.”

The police received a tip that before meeting Jiang Tiansheng, Hong Le's ghost seemed to have met with some people, but he did not reveal the truth to the police. "Uncle Xing replied.

“I heard that he’s probably going to meet with drug dealers in northern Myanmar. Those drug dealers can get anything, so cyanide is no problem for them,” said Liang Kun, who was also a drug dealer before. He had more sources of information.

Brother Ji seemed about to speak, but hesitated and stopped.

Chen Jiajun took in his expression and then said, "I suspect the police have some leads, but they definitely won't tell us the truth. I'll meet with Hong Le Long's ghost to discuss this matter."

After a pause, Chen Jiajun shouted, "Also, bring Chen Yao, Gan Zitai, Chen Haonan, and the others up here!"

The reason they were asked to wear mourning clothes beforehand was to arrange Jiang Tiansheng's funeral.

Now that the funeral arrangements have been completed, these individuals, burdened with guilt, are temporarily ineligible to enter the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness.

The group entered the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness with their heads down.

Chen Jiajun said coldly, "How does it feel to be looked down upon by everyone in Hung Hing for failing to perform your duties and protect Mr. Chiang?"

Chen Yao, Gan Zitai, Chen Haonan, Shanji and others were speechless.

They had also felt incredibly stifled these past few days, as if a fishbone was stuck in their throat.

But they couldn't say anything.

After all, they were by Jiang Tian's side when he died. In any case, they cannot escape blame.

Chen Jiajun continued, "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Hung Hing has lost face big time this time. We must fight and make a comeback! Only blood can wash away the humiliation we have suffered."

"Prince, Chan Ho-nam, what you do is up to you!"

"Yes!" the crown prince replied in a deep voice, raising his head with a look of fighting spirit.

"Understood." As for Chen Haonan, his eyes flickered, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Take two days off, everyone get ready, meeting adjourned." Chen Jiajun waved his hand.

After watching the leaders of Hung Hing FIT leave, Chan Ka Chun made a phone call to Brother Kei, who answered quickly: "Brother Kei, is there something you can't say in the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness?"

"Yes, yes! Ah Da, I want to talk to you about something in private, it's very important!" Brother Ji nodded immediately, his tone even carrying a hint of urgency.

"Come to Guojun Building alone, I'll be waiting for you there."

……

The rooftop reception room of Guojun Building.

"Ah Da, this is what happened. A few days ago, Gentleman Sheng suddenly called me and asked me to meet up..."

Upon arriving at the Guojun Building and meeting Chen Jiajun and Uncle Xing, Brother Ji couldn't wait to lay out some things.

Two days ago.

Brother Ji received a phone call that surprised him greatly.
Gentleman Sheng arranged to meet him, and later brought a few of his underlings. The two sides met at a small bar in Kowloon.

However, to Brother Ji's great surprise, in addition to Gentleman Sheng, Hong Le's leader, Brother Piao, was also present at the scene.

Brother Ji, enraged and embarrassed, retorted, "Sheng, are you kidding me?!"

After saying that, he turned to leave, but Hong Le's henchmen at the door all pulled out their pistols.

Piao stood up, puffing on his cigar and saying in a dramatic tone, "Aji! I gave you face by having Asheng invite you out! No matter what, you have to sit down, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Brother Ji turned around and sat down in front of Brother Piao.

Gentleman Sheng poured Brother Kei a full glass of wine, while Brother Piao tossed Brother Kei a cigar, saying indignantly, "Jiang Tiansheng's death has nothing to do with me, yet the whole of Hong Kong is pinning the blame on me!"

"Damn it! Ah-Chi! Think about how many years I've known Lao Jiang. If I really wanted to get rid of him, would I need to poison him? This might very well have been Liang Jun's doing!"

"He turned into a ghost and came to poison Mr. Jiang?" Brother Ji asked rhetorically.

If Piao Ge could jump into the Yellow River to clear his name at this moment, he would definitely do so.

He's been racking his brains for the past two days, but he still can't figure it out. He even secretly arrested and tortured the golf course staff, but still found no leads.

Seeing Piao Ge's frustrated expression, Ji Ge chuckled and said, "Ah Sheng came to me and said he wanted to make a big deal out of a small one and a small deal out of a big one. What do you want me to do?"

Piao Ge puffed on his cigar quickly: "Peace talks are impossible."

Brother Ji nodded in agreement, saying, "It's difficult."

Piao Ge looked up at the ceiling and exhaled a long puff of cigar smoke. "I've met Ma Wangjian, Wuliang, and Fatty Li. Wuliang and Ma Wangjian support me, while Fatty Li neither supports nor opposes me."

Brother Ji's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in a serious voice, "What do you mean?"

Brother Piao waved two fingers at his subordinate, who then brought over a combination lock box, opened it, and placed it on the table.

“Liang Jun said he would unify the Hong family if he had the chance. Even if I reach an agreement with Liang Jun this time, he will definitely find another opportunity to target us Hong Le. Right now, his foundation is unstable, so we Hong Le have a chance,” Piao Ge explained.

Brother Ji understood. He said calmly, "You want me to be a traitor?"

"What traitor? This is cleaning house! And what's more, Fatty Li told me that you didn't vote for him, you took his money and didn't do your job. You'll get what's coming to you?"

Brother Piao patiently and skillfully began to persuade him to defect.

Brother Ji looked at the pile of money, then at Brother Piao, and remained silent.

Piao Ge continued to analyze the situation for Ji Ge, saying, "The entire Hung Hing, his staunch supporters are: Ah Kun in Mong Kok, Sister Thirteen in Portland Street, Han Bin in Kwai Tsing, Dinosaur in Tuen Mun, and Slim Eyes in Kowloon."

He doesn't have many people he can use on Hong Kong Island. I've investigated him; he only has about two thousand people he can truly use there, and they're all planted in various establishments.

"As long as the four of you remain still, I am confident of victory."

"Bucky, be more realistic."

After listening to Piao Ge's words, Ji Ge asked, "Are you telling me to hold back?"

"You can choose to stay put like Fatty Li. Or you can follow the example of Wu Liang and Ma Wangjian and switch sides to Hong Le. You'll get plenty of benefits. It's up to you to choose."
