Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 107: Lively Funeral (Part 3)

"What happens in the underworld is left to the underworld."

"I won't cause trouble for Brother Hongtai's family. If I have to, I'll go find Dakouya."

"Uncle Ghost, I still understand this rule."

Hongtai's wife is indeed very beautiful. Whether she is sent to a brothel as a dancer or to a stable as a prostitute, she can make a fortune.

But Hongtai, this old loser, owes a principal of more than one million. Even if the interest is cut in half, it would still be five hundred thousand.

The principal plus interest is more than two million. Even if I receive one hundred customers a day, I still cannot pay back the money. It is better to go directly to Dakouya. This guy has a place and can pay back more than two million in one or two years.

It's better to do less things like giving birth to a baby without an anus, and find more bad people to deal with.

Anyway, Chi Mengli was in a superior position and was not afraid that Big Mouth Duck would create a plane. He was sure that Big Mouth Duck was defeated and could not cause any trouble.

Just as the two were testing each other, a thug from the Donglian Society trotted into the farewell hall. Seeing Scholar Gui and Handsome Sheng chatting, he stood aside anxiously.

Seeing that Donglianshe had some family matters to attend to, Chi Mengli said goodbye and left, sitting in the back seat, waiting for the ceremony to end.

"Grandpa, Yazaku sent a representative who said he was a business partner of Brother Hongtai. He sent a wreath and wanted to come in to pay respects."

"Brother Jiu can't make up his mind, so he's standing in front of you, hoping to get you to make the decision."

When the scholar heard the report from his henchman, his eyebrows immediately frowned. The young man didn't know about the trivial matters of the past, but he was an eyewitness to the internal strife of Hutchison Whampoa and knew the seriousness of the matter.

Not all gangsters are disciples of Hongmen. Only those who open incense halls and hold high positions are authentic disciples of Hongmen. They know the poems of worship, the tea formation, the Spring Classics, and recognize the signboards and flags.

The Honolulu Hongmen General Association issued an order in 1939, prohibiting Hongmen disciples from having any connection with the Japanese devils.

Although the Donglian Society and the Honolulu Hongmen Association only have a succession relationship and do not accept its leadership, if the news that Hongmen disciples are colluding with the Japanese Yazaku spreads to the underworld, it will definitely cause an uproar.

The gangsters present today will definitely spread what they see and hear, making the Donglian News Agency the center of public opinion.

But they came as guests, saying they were friends, and came to pay their respects. They would not allow the representatives of Yazaku to come in and burn incense for Hongtai, and would say that the Donglian Society did not know etiquette.

What a dilemma!

After all, the scholar ghost is an old hand. He glanced at the big-mouthed duck kneeling in front of Hongtai's portrait, burning paper for the Baimen boss, and whispered to the henchman in front of him: "Go ask the duck, he is the one who is in charge today."

"Hongtai is gone. Whether he is a friend or a business partner, only Yazai knows."

"After you ask, just go and give Ah Jiu a reply."

After the scholar ghost finished speaking, he stood up and went to the private room to accompany several uncles from the society to drink tea and chat.

The henchman quickly ran to Big Mouth Duck and told him the situation again.

Hearing that Tiansi had arrived, Dakouya stood up, whispered a few words to his sister-in-law, and then followed the man in charge of reception at the Donglian News Agency out of the mourning hall.

Tian Si looked very handsome today, wearing a handsome white suit, a white top hat, gold-rimmed glasses, and two wreaths and elegiac couplets behind him.

The members of Yazaku were all wearing black suits and standing behind Tian Si. Ape Man Qing, who had fought a bloody battle in Yau Ma Tei yesterday, was also in the team, protecting the president's safety.

At the end of the team, there was a group of people. They were all the men that Tian Si had recruited with his silver banknote offensive. They were all brought here just to boost the momentum of Dakouya and to take this opportunity to officially show themselves in the Hong Kong underworld.

Yazaku officially entered Hong Kong.

Do, who was standing at the end of the team, was pushing Xi Pao who was in a wheelchair. Feiying from Hongxing, with flowing long hair and wearing the currently very popular leather half-sleeves and leather pants, stood beside the two of them.

Ganging up on others is sometimes a way of life.

If Chi Mengli saw this scene, he would only say that it is better for you three to live a good life.

Behind the Do group is a group of miscellaneous soldiers and generals, all of whom are lackeys of Xi Pao and Feiying.

Big Mouth Duck, dressed in mourning, came out and said a few words to Dadongjiu first, giving him some instructions before walking in front of Tiansi.

"Mr. Tian Si, you look so stylish today!"

Big Mouth Duck stretched out his hand and shook hands with Tian Si, then took a look at Tian Si's flashy outfit and made a teasing remark.

Hearing someone complimenting his fashion sense, Tian Si smiled proudly and replied, "You Chinese have a good saying, 'clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha.'"

"Everyone has a pair of eyes that look for wealth. If you don't dress better, you won't be able to negotiate business."

Big Mouth Duck nodded and agreed with this statement. Even if you want to date a dancer, you have to wear a gold watch and wear famous brands, otherwise the dancer will not go out with you.

No matter what you do, you have to look good.

"Mr. Duck, let me introduce you."

"This one is Hu La, this one is Jian Hui, this one is Ma Lan Zhen" "The three behind are Miss Do, Brother Xi Pao from Yi Qun, and Brother Fei Ying from Hong Xing."

"Everyone is here today to show their support for you, Mr. Ya, and to burn a stick of incense for Mr. Hongtai."

Tian Si introduced the subordinates he had recruited, all with smug smiles on their faces.

Dakouya immediately understood Tian Si's voice-over. He looked around, took a step forward, and whispered, "Mr. Tian Si, I've heard something recently."

"The person Mr. Tian Si wants to find is in the hands of Handsome Sheng. I also heard about the passionate fight last night. If I am not mistaken, Hei Ah Hu, who was surrounded by his men, should be Mr. Tian Si's man."

"The water room has more than 200 people in Yau Ma Tei. The people you recruited cannot break in."

"I have an idea that can help you solve this problem. Can we sit down and talk about it after the funeral?"

The bunch of small fry behind Tian Si can't get into Yau Tsim Mong. It's not easy to polish the signboard and set up shop. Without the support of the boss and the reputation of the boss, no one can do it.

"I really want to be friends with Mr. Duck. It's my honor to be able to chat with him."

"I heard that handsome Mr. Sheng is also here to pay respects to Mr. Hongtai. Can you help introduce him to me?"

Tian Si knew very well the quality of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals behind him. They could share wealth but not adversity. If he failed, these subordinates would definitely bite back and tear a piece of meat from him.

The friendly-looking big-mouthed duck in front of me should have the same intention.

"Of course, please come this way."

Dakouya had a lot of things to do today and couldn't chat too much with Tiansi. Plus, there were so many people from the martial arts world around him, so he couldn't be too enthusiastic.

The Hong Kong underworld is very xenophobic. Even if the Hongmen societies from Macau and Tainan come to do business, they will be treated differently.

Tian Si walked to the gift table and placed a check on it. It was a cashier's draft from HSBC Bank for 100,000 yuan.

The Donglian Society henchman in charge of registration looked at Dadongjiu standing beside him, and seeing that the other party remained silent, he could only write down the gang name and the amount of the gift money silently.

Dadongjiu didn't say a word the whole time. He looked at Dakouya and Tiansi's backs thoughtfully as they left, thinking to himself that he should stay away from Dakouya in the future.

Guo Guohao, who was across the street, also heard the report from his men. He quickly got off the assault vehicle and saw Tian Si's face.

He was not unfamiliar with this dangerous man from Japan. They had fought secretly several times, but he came up empty-handed every time and found no substantial evidence.

"Mr. Guo, this punk has finally shown his face. Do you want me to bring some people in to handcuff him?"

Azi handed a cup of freshly bought Yuanyang milk tea to Guo Guohao and asked in a low voice if he wanted to arrest someone.

Guo Guohao opened the lid, took a sip of milk tea, and shook his head: "We have no evidence. The Marine Wharf is the territory of the foreigners. We don't have a search warrant from the Department of Justice, so we can't get in at all."

"Don't alert the enemy!"

"Tian Si showed up on his own initiative this time, probably just to fill his mouth. I'll let the guys from the intelligence department follow him later. They are professionals and have more experience than us. They need to know where this pouncer is hiding."

"It's getting late. These gangsters have food and drink. It makes no sense for us to have none. Send someone to order some food, one for each person, so that they can have something more substantial."

"I need a receipt. I need to write a report and get reimbursed."

Guo Guohao opened his wallet with a painful heart and took out two big gold bulls from it. Although the activity funds could be applied for reimbursement, and he did apply in advance, the approval process would take seven working days.

He could only pay for it himself first, then take the receipt and get reimbursed later.

A superintendent's monthly salary is only over 6,000 yuan, which sounds like a lot, but he has to pay the mortgage, support his wife and children, and pay the servants at home. Everything costs money, and this little money is just a drop in the bucket.

"I know. I'll have someone decide now."

He felt a little sympathy for Guo Guohao, but it did not affect Azi from taking the two big golden bulls. He saluted and continued to stand under the scorching sun, staring at the young and dangerous guys across the street, silently warning these bastards not to mess around.

This is what it means to be a boss. You have to take the blame, fight for the benefits and honors for your subordinates, and take the lead in paying the bills. Only in this way will your guys and brothers dare to follow you and move forward.

Tian Si lit a stick of incense for Hongtai with a serious face, chatted with Hongtai's wife, and then, under the guidance of Dakouya, walked in front of Chi Mengli.

Ji Mi, Hei Ahu and other thugs all stood up and stood in front of Chi Mengli.

When Hei Ah Hu saw the ape man Qing behind Tian Si, he was so angry that his teeth were itching. Although his ribs were not broken, they were fractured and he needed to have steel nails put in to heal for a while.

This account must be settled properly by Ape Man Qing.

Chi Mengli held a cigarette in his mouth and looked at Tian Si with great interest. Although this was the first time they met, they had already memorized each other's appearance in their minds and were considered the most familiar strangers.

As for the ape man Qing behind Tian Si, he had no interest in him at all.

What is his identity? You need to keep it in mind.
