Hong Kong Island: From a small stall to a global supplier

Chapter 80 Funeral!

The street was effectively blocked, with six PTU assault vehicles outside and more than 20 uniformed police officers standing on both sides of the road.

Huang Bingyao, dressed in a suit, was standing closest to the mourning hall with his gang members and watching. He had heard that Shengyi Society would come to see him off, and was afraid that a fight would break out between the two sides.

A large black-and-white photo of Jin Yacheng was placed in the mourning hall of the Qi family.

A large series of banners read:

The majesty lasts forever!

Highly respected!

Great virtue and admiration!

Admire the noble character!

Mr. Qi Liancheng will live forever, and the people of Lian Gongle respectfully mourn him!
Mr. Qi Liancheng will live forever, and his fellow Lian Feiying people offer their condolences!
Mr. Qi Liancheng will live forever, and the fellow members of Tongletang pay tribute to him!
Mr. Qi Liancheng will live forever, and all the people of Yi country pay tribute to him!
Mr. Qi Liancheng will live forever, Dongfu and his fellow comrades respectfully mourn him!
In front of the mourning hall, there was a long row of wreaths and elegiac couplets.

The ones on the left are from the four major clubs, and the ones on the right are sent by other clubs.

Chi Gudong led Wang Yaotang and several uncles out of the car, followed by ten younger brothers in black suits, also carrying a wreath with the words "Mr. Qi Liancheng will live forever, respectfully mourned by his fellow He Shengyi people".

"Everyone get ready, rush in immediately if a conflict occurs!" Huang Bingyao said loudly while holding the walkie-talkie.

"He Shengyi is here!"

At the shout, everyone in the mourning hall looked towards the door.

"Oh, the fun is about to begin."

“It’s going to be a big event.”

"Tell me whether it was the God of Wealth Yao who did it."

"Absolutely. There is a business conflict. Who else could it be but him? You? Who knows Jin Yacheng's whereabouts?"

"If it was an old enemy, he would have taken revenge long ago. How could there be so many coincidences?"

"Not necessarily. Didn't the Bones-Chopping East issue a bounty?"

"It's just acting."

Everything was said for a while.

Scorpion Wen, Zhuzai Fei, Datong, Bronze Dog, Dashengtian, Baoji, Datousheng and others, who were originally kneeling on the ground in mourning clothes, suddenly stood up and walked straight towards the door.

"Qi Gudong, Cai Shenyao, how dare you come out!" Scorpion Wen shouted loudly.

"Murderer, kill him!"

"Revenge for the dragon head!"

"Do you understand the rules of the underworld?" Wang Yaotang sneered, "We and Shengyi came to attend the funeral to show respect to Tongxin and the leader Jin Yacheng. Do you think you are the protagonist?"

"Fuck your mother!" Scorpion Wen looked ugly.

"It's your leader's funeral. You are talking so dirty. What do you mean?"

"Who are you?" Ji Gudong glanced at Xie Ziwen coldly, "You haven't become the leader yet, it's not your turn to make the decision with Xinhe."

"Prince Rong!" Qi Gudong looked behind him, "What? Are you four planning to push Fujie to the top?"

Being pointed out, Taizi Rong had to stand up and said, "Who will be the leader is a matter of Tongxinhe internal affairs. Our other societies will not interfere. However, as for the murderer, none of us from the four major societies will let him go!"

The crowd parted, and a tall man with a slicked-back hair walked out slowly.

"Have you found the murderer?" Qi Gudong sneered.

"Isn't the murderer right here?" Prince Rong looked at Wang Yaotang.

Just as Wang Yaotang was about to speak, Qi Gudong stopped him with his hand, "Bring out the evidence. If you must frame us, we, the 'He' characters, can fight you to the point of being exonerated. I wonder if you, Prince Rong, dare to accept it!"

Prince Rong glared. He didn't expect that Qi Gudong was so tough and dared to say such things in front of dozens of community organizations in Hong Kong.

"Okay, okay, this is Jin Yacheng's funeral, let's respect the deceased, OK!" Lao Dong saw that the time was almost right, so he immediately stood up and shouted loudly.

The Associated Press is strong, and Lao Dong has a wide circle of friends, so he is qualified to speak out.

Prince Rong frowned and glanced at Lao Dongjiu. As a member of the 'Twelve Friends of Power', he couldn't just not give him any face.

"Everyone is very sad about Jin Yacheng's death. Not only will Xinhe and the Big Four not let the murderer go, but the trend of assassinating the leader of a gang must not be allowed to continue. This guy must die. All the gangs in Hong Kong and Kowloon will not let him go." The crowd made way for a path, and Lao Dong said as he walked, "But precisely because of this, this matter must be handled with caution. We must find solid evidence and kill him openly."

These words brought the death of Jin Yacheng to another level, and no one could refute it.

Wang Yaotang looked over and nodded slightly.

Gudong immediately took over the conversation, "We are not just talking about revenge for Jin Yacheng. Shengyi and I are offering a reward of 50 in real money. I wonder how much the Big Four are prepared to give!"

Prince Rong sneered, "The four of us will contribute 100 million!"

Gu Dong immediately said loudly, "Okay, everyone has heard the bounty for the four great leaders."

These guys may not understand if you try to sow discord too subtly, so this kind of straightforward approach is good enough.

Prince Rong's expression froze, and the people from the other four societies immediately frowned, wanting to refute but unable to say anything.

The Big Four have always been "fighting together but not eating together", with Lian Gong Le being the leader, but that doesn't mean Tai Zi Rong can be the leader of other clubs.

"I mean, I will join Gongle to offer 100 million on behalf of the four major bounties." Prince Rong quickly began to make amends, "And I propose that whoever avenges Jin Yacheng with Tong Xinhe will be eligible to choose the leader!"

Haha, Qi Gudong laughed softly.

"I agree!" Scorpion Wen was the first to respond.

"agree."

"Agree." Several other clubs also responded.

According to the usual rules, the elders of the society vote, and now there is an opportunity to take power back from the old bones, and the big guys are of course willing to do so.

Fair play!
The atmosphere had reached this point, and the elders of Tong Xinhe could not object.

"Okay, now that everyone has reached an agreement, let the funeral continue. No matter what, we must give Jin Ya a grand funeral today." Lao Dong said loudly.

Prince Rong, Scorpion Wen and others looked at Qi Gu Dong deeply, snorted coldly, and returned to their respective seats.

He Shengyi's people lined up again, with Ji Gudong standing at the front. He took the flower basket with both hands and bowed. He handed the flower basket back, and then stabbed his partner with both hands and bowed first.

Then straighten the chest and put hands on waist again, pull the left leg back, stand with the right leg in a bow shape, Phoenix nods three times, nods four times in a row, closes the body, puts hands on waist again and bows three times in a row.

This is the etiquette of Hongmen. If the phoenix nods three times, it means three for life and four for death.

Tong Xin and a group of people bowed in return, and the whole process was completed. Then they found a seat and sat down.

Wang Yaotang followed suit throughout the whole process. He felt that no red stick had the right to speak here, not even a double-flowered red stick.

However, not speaking does not mean not attracting attention.

As the suspected murderer, the most powerful Double Flower Red Stick in the underworld, others were still very curious. They all looked at him carefully to see what ability this young man had to cause such a big commotion.

The funeral process was completed and there was no need to stay for dinner. Chi Gudong and his group got in the car and left under police surveillance.

On the way back, Qigudong called Wang Yaotang into the car.

"Tsk tsk, Brother Dong is really training his successor." The Fourth Master said with a smile.

"It's all because the younger generation in the club is not ambitious enough. We haven't seen such outstanding young people in many years." Silly Lin replied with a smile.

"We still have to survive this." Uncle Niu whispered, "Tell me, is it this kid?"

"Well, theoretically speaking, he is the most similar."

"I can't tell."

In the car, Ti Gu Dong suddenly asked, "What did you find out?"

"Ah?" Wang Yaotang was stunned. "What?"

"I asked you to stay by my side. Do you think you can protect me?" Qi Gudong said unhappily.

"Ha." Wang Yaotang gave a polite yet awkward smile.

"Old Dong has a conflict with Prince Rong."

"Ah?" Wang Yaotang frowned.

"You don't think that Lao Dong is here to help you, do you?" Qi Gudong glanced at Wang Yaotang.

"No, I thought he was trying to show off his status in society." Wang Yaotang quickly defended himself.

Aren't you here to help me?
He gave me a look on purpose!
Gu Dong sneered, and Wang Yaotang blushed. "Old Dong will let Donglianshe show its strength again. It has the support of Dongguan people. It is not a simple person, but Prince Rong inherited the family business and is also a person standing at the cusp of the storm."

"Who is speaking louder among the Twelve Friends of Quan Xiong? Does Prince Rong just like to support Lao Dong?"

Wang Yaotang suddenly realized that he was just a nobody before and didn't know so much about the affairs between these underworld bosses. He foolishly thought that the "Twelve Friends of Quanxiong" were all loyal heroes.

"Prince Rong is too active." Qi Gudong narrowed his eyes. "I thought he wanted to show his authority, but he backed off after I tested him. It's obvious that he can't suppress other societies, but he's still holding on to the matter of Tong Xinhe..."

So, the old guy's statement of 'bounty for the four leaders' was a trap?

Wang Yaotang smacked his lips. These old guys were able to fight their way out of the crowd of millions of dwarf mules. They were indeed smart people.

"After hearing what you said, Uncle Dong, I suddenly thought of something." Wang Yaotang said with a smile.

"What?"

"Cao laughed and said: Yuan Shao looks fierce but has a weak courage, is good at making plans but has no decision, is willing to work hard but cherishes his body, forgets his life when he sees little profit, he is not a hero."

"Ha, haha, hahaha." Qi Gudong laughed.

After a while, Qigudong stopped laughing and was about to say something when Wang Yaotang's pager rang.

He picked it up and looked at it, then raised his eyebrows, "It's Lao Dong's phone number."

"What does he want from you?"

"Find a phone call and ask him."

The car stopped on the side of the road. Wang Yaotang found a phone and made a call. Lao Dong then invited him to have tea.

I told Uncle Dong, and he started to curse for a while, saying things like "Old Dong is still evil and bullying you because you are young" and other things that are hard to understand...

But let Wang Yaotang go by himself.

He got off the car and called his people. After more than ten minutes, they arrived at the teahouse. Aji got off the car first to look around, and let people go into the teahouse for a walk. Only then did Wang Yaotang get off the car.

"Shuanghua Honggun, you are so careful, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by your fellow martial artists?" Lao Dong, who saw the whole process from upstairs, teased with a smile.

“Oh, while I’m alive, whoever dares to laugh at me will be hit on the head by me. But if I die, it will be a joke.” Wang Yaotang pulled out a chair and sat down.

"No wonder you got rich and have a clear mind. If you think about fighting and killing all day long, you will never get ahead in your life." Lao Dong poured a cup of tea with a smile and raised his hand to signal.

"Thank you." Wang Yaotang picked up the glass and drank it all.

After chatting about some matters in the martial arts world, Lao Dong saw that Wang Yaotang was not in a hurry, so he said something shocking, "Jin Yacheng's death was really because of you."

"what!"
