The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 244 The Situation Escalates: Firearms Are Being Used!

bang bang bang...

Several gunshots rang out at dusk, killing the leader of the Hung Hing Kwun Tong branch.

The entire Hong Kong underworld was shaken.

This was the leader of Hung Hing, the number one triad society in Hong Kong, and he died just like that.

In the past, when triads in Hong Kong Island fought each other, it was rare for bigwigs at the level of gang leader to be injured or killed.

All I can say is that Ma Jiaozai is ruthless, as expected of someone who handles guns!
In an instant, the eyes of numerous triads on Hong Kong Island were all focused on Hung Hing.

At this time, although the Hung Hing was not in a state of panic, it was still in a state of chaos.

For no other reason than that none of the powerful gang leaders, including Jiang Tiansheng, Liang Kun, and Han Bin, were currently stationed in Hong Kong Island.

Faced with such a sudden turn of events, the other hall masters were naturally quite flustered!
They were especially alarmed that they knew who had done it.

"Mr. Jiang, it's nothing, no need to rush back. The sky isn't going to fall!"

Wu Feng immediately called Jiang Tiansheng, his tone very calm.

"Oh, then I'll leave the Hong Kong Island matter to you for now, Ah Fung!"

Jiang Tiansheng's anxious tone softened, and he said in a deep voice, "Do what you should do, follow your own ideas, and if anything goes wrong, the gang will take responsibility together!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I know what to do!"

Wu Feng chuckled and hung up the phone, then called Liang Kun and Han Bin.

The attitudes of these two were very clear, allowing Wu Feng to act freely.

Well, despite all his efforts over the past two years, they have finally yielded some results.

After hanging up the phone, he casually addressed the three somewhat nervous underlings standing in front of him.

"Boss, you can still laugh?"

Li Xin, wearing straw sandals, said urgently, "Kwun Tong is in complete chaos right now, and the other branches are also in a state of panic!"

"Is things getting chaotic in our Saigon branch?"

Wu Feng countered, "Or rather, are there gunmen lying in ambush?"

"Not yet!"

Red Stick Zhang Yong quickly chimed in: "What are you talking about? With the gang's control over the territory, if an unfamiliar gunman appears, it will be hard for him to escape our eyes and ears!"

"Besides, sir, you've always been very concerned about security. Unless you use a long-range sniper rifle, it's quite difficult to get a kill at close range!"

He had something to say but hadn't said it yet!
The bodyguard team around the big boss was composed entirely of retired veterans from the mainland, including combat experts who had experienced the two-mountain battles. It would be extremely difficult to assassinate the big boss Wu Feng under their protection.

He also knew that these bodyguard teams were employees of a legitimate security company in the Commonwealth, the kind with official gun licenses, not just ordinary bodyguards.

With at least four elite thugs by his side, it wouldn't be easy for the gunman to assassinate him.

He didn't know that Wu Feng had an instinctive reaction to danger.

If a sniper were to actually aim at him from a distance, he would react immediately and take cover, not giving the so-called sniper such an opportunity.

Moreover, the use of snipers is completely different from that of ordinary gunmen.

Even if the Hong Kong British government did nothing, many wealthy Chinese would not agree to it.

Once they set a bad precedent, they will live in constant fear and anxiety.

It's just hiring snipers, what wealthy Chinese person doesn't have that kind of financial resources?

If you casually offer a five million bounty, even the world's most famous assassins would be tempted to take action!
But doing that would be breaking the rules!
Unless, in the future, the person from Macau stops operating businesses in Hong Kong and doesn't care about his own casino business, then it's another story. Is that even possible?

"That settles it, what's there to be afraid of?"

Wu Feng scoffed, "Hung Hing isn't a pushover; they won't just give in after a little intimidation!"

Two years ago, that might have been true!
Even the leader of Hong Kong's top triad, who was from Shang'ao Island, felt a little weak in the knees.

But the situation is different now, or rather, the confidence of the leaders and powerful hall masters is not the same as it was two years ago, so naturally there will be different reactions.

Did they really think that two years of maritime cargo smuggling business would have no impact on Jiang Tiansheng and Han Bin?
As for Liang Kun, he also successfully found another path!
In terms of profits alone, Jiang Tiansheng and Han Bin earned at least a billion Hong Kong dollars!
Even the second-best, Liang Kun, has at least 200 million in cash on hand in the past two years!
What is this concept?
In the movie, when competing for the top spot with Lien Sheng, Big D only gave HK$200,000 to his uncles and elders to buy tickets!

That happened in 2005.

But now, it's not even 1990 yet, and Jiang Tiansheng and others are already billionaires.

At this point, while there might be some concerns about the falling out with that person in Australia, I would definitely not back down directly.

If that's the case, wouldn't all those years of risking money to sell goods have been for nothing?

Their maritime cargo operations are large-scale, and it's not just about making money; the security forces they've built are also formidable.

To put it more bluntly, Jiang Tiansheng and Han Bin at this time were standard international smuggling tycoons!
He has transcended his identity as a mere Hong Kong triad boss and is now quite influential throughout Southeast Asia, Central Europe, and Western Europe.

With such strength and influence, their ability to withstand pressure is exceptionally strong!
As for Liang Kun, he is a well-known king of erotic films in Southeast Asia, and his reputation is well-deserved.

Faced with this situation, their choice did not disappoint Wu Feng.

"So, boss, what do you want to do?"

Wang Zhi, the calmest among the white-paper-fan experts, asked directly, "After all, the leader isn't in Hong Kong!"

"The first thing to do, of course, is to calm people's hearts!"

Wu Feng sneered, "Go, call all the key figures and tell them that I have received permission from Chiang Kai-shek to temporarily take charge of all affairs of Hung Hing!"

The three strategists immediately sprang into action, making phone calls one by one in front of Wu Feng.

"Hello, is this Brother Ji? My boss has received permission from the leader to invite you to a meeting at headquarters!"

"Hey beautiful mom, I'm Li Xin from Sai Kung Tong Hau. My boss wants to invite you to a meeting at headquarters!"

"Uncle Xing, Mr. Jiang has already given me the big boss's authorization. Please come to the main hall for a meeting!"

"..."

Wu Feng sat quietly in his boss's chair, watching his three subordinates busy at work, his expression calm.

It's clear that some local leaders were quite accommodating and readily agreed.

And some local leaders, for reasons unknown, actually hesitated and tried to find out the truth, behaving like a fence-sitter.

He was actually a little surprised. Hadn't Jiang Tiansheng called them before? In a flash, he realized that Jiang Tiansheng also wanted to take the opportunity to see the true worth of the other Hung Hing leaders.

This incident is extremely serious; the head of the Kwun Tong Hall was shot dead!

If that's the case, and the other hall masters don't share the same sense of sympathy for each other's fate, and still want to be fence-sitters, then Jiang Tiansheng will deal with them without any mercy.

He probably won't be staying in Hong Kong Island for a long time to come!

If something goes wrong and the rear cannot be stabilized, then there's no point in doing anything.

At this time, Jiang Tiansheng, along with Chen Yao and the Crown Prince, was busy with the matter of blocking the ships in Siam.

With Jiang Tianyang's connections, the local Siamese authorities actually gave them face and helped them set up a blockade, allowing the boats to stop and operate in Siamese waters.

This is a very rare opportunity!

If the boat blockade is managed well, wealth will flow in from now on.

Putting aside other factors, wealthy individuals from countries like Siam, Myanmar, and the Indochina Peninsula, if they wanted to participate in the gambling, would choose this gambling boat first, rather than the one on the Australian side.

Therefore, this moment is also quite crucial for Jiang Tiansheng.

The man in Macau who went so far as to send a gunman to kill the head of Hung Hing in Kwun Tong was doing so for two reasons: first, to intimidate the top brass of Hung Hing, and second, to disrupt Chiang Tin-sang's plans and force him to return to Hong Kong ahead of schedule.

It's hard to say what will happen once the blockade of ships on the Siamese side is no longer under Jiang Tiansheng's leadership.

Given how ruthless that guy from Macau is, he'll definitely send someone over to sabotage the boat blockade business!

On the other hand, if the blockade were to succeed by chance, and Jiang Tiansheng did not take charge in the early stages, the local Siamese forces could easily seize complete control.

Although Jiang Tianyang was doing well in Siam, he was no match for the truly powerful local tyrants.

In other words, if the boat traffic jam is to continue operating normally, Jiang Tiansheng cannot leave for at least half a month, otherwise there are too many variables.

And somehow, Liang Kun got involved with a powerful local tyrant in Malaysia!

So when he saw that Jiang Tiansheng wanted to block the boats, he responded enthusiastically and quickly put it into practice.

As a result, he also created a blockade at the boundary between Malaysian waters and the high seas.

This is quite an extraordinary thing!
Even though Han Bin has some connections in Malaysia, he can't do this.

Like Jiang Tiansheng, Liang Kun will have to stay in Malaysia for at least a month.

This guy was also a bachelor. After explaining the situation, he handed over the affairs of the Mong Kok branch to Wu Feng to handle early on, and then left with a large group of capable underlings.

Regarding the shooting death of the Kwun Tong Hall Master, he sounded quite calm on the phone, without any anger or other emotions, and simply told Wu Feng to handle it as well.

As for the one from Macau, Liang Kun sneered repeatedly, saying that once his boat blockade was running smoothly, he would have a good time.

This is what a true hero from humble beginnings looks like!
Clearly, as Leung Kwan became a renowned king of erotic films in Southeast Asia, his vision and ambition were no longer limited to Hong Kong Island.

With such vision and breadth of mind, one can naturally be more calm and rational in viewing the murder of the Kwun Tong Hall Master. It would be impossible not to feel a sense of shared sorrow over the death of a fellow rabbit.

However, after a calm and rational analysis, you will know which choice is the best.

If people panic and lose their composure at the slightest provocation, then the instigator will only benefit.

In fact, during the phone call, Leung Kwan frequently cursed the late Kwun Tong triad leader as a good-for-nothing.

Because of Wu Feng, or rather, the trend he set, the leaders of the Hung Hing gang followed suit.

Don't be fooled by these guys' private mockery of Wu Feng for being cowardly and afraid of death. Over time, they all started bringing along plenty of elite thugs to protect him when they went out.
Even Jiang Tiansheng imitated Wu Feng's style of doing things, always having at least two carloads of bodyguards with him whenever he went out.

Under such circumstances, it would not be an easy task for an outsider to assassinate the leader of the Hung Hing Society.

But the fact that the Kwun Tong Hall Master was killed in one blow is quite intriguing.

Hong Kong's underworld isn't without its share of yakini (male escorts) from Macau who do enjoy playing with firearms, but they're not powerful enough to instill fear in every Hong Kong triad.

It can only be said that the head of the Kwun Tong Hall must have let his guard down, which is why he fell victim to the attack.

His being shot is not the main issue; what matters is that it affected the business of the Hung Hing leader and several other powerful branch leaders, which will not be viewed favorably.

In short, Liang Kun made it very clear on the phone that he would not be returning to Hong Kong Island in the short term, and that Wu Feng would have to personally handle the matters on Hung Hing's side.

His requirement was very simple: Hung Hing must not be thrown into chaos!
The three Han brothers shared the same thoughts.

Han Bin has very strong connections in the Philippines, and he even joined forces with local power brokers to stage a similar incident of blocking a boat.

The situation in the Philippines is similar to that of powerful clans during the Sui and Tang dynasties in mainland China.

There, families, much like powerful clans, ruled over a region, making the situation quite complex.

It was quite an achievement for Han Bin to be able to establish connections with one of the families.

To be on the safe side, he not only took action himself, but also brought along his two brothers, Dinosaur and Thin Eyes, as well as hundreds of elite thugs.

It can be said that Han Bin took this ship blockade very seriously!
At this point, even if it were just a problem with one of the Kwun Tong triad leaders, or even if the triad leader Chiang Tin-sang had a problem, the three brothers might not be willing to return to Hong Kong Island.

In fact, Han Bin's two brothers originally wanted to compete for the positions of leader of Hung Hing Tuen Mun and Kowloon Tong, and Jiang Tiansheng also gave them enough convenience.

Dinosaur was a high-ranking member of the Tuen Mun triad, waiting for the triad leader, Uncle Hing, to retire so he could take over.

The situation is similar for the smaller one. He is also a "red stick" in the Kowloon Tong area, just waiting for the current leader to retire so he can directly become the head of the Kowloon Tong area.

Of the three brothers, they were the ones who least wanted Hung Hing to have problems.

The three brothers themselves constituted a formidable faction within the Hung Hing organization!
If the opportunity is right, Han Bin, as a core member, may even have the chance to become the leader of Hung Hing.

In fact, Han Bin in the comic book story actually became the leader of Hung Hing.

But the situation is completely different now. Wu Feng's appearance has made Han Bin a major smuggler in Southeast Asia ahead of time. His strength is among the top in the entire Hong Kong underworld.

Compared to the astonishing profits earned from maritime smuggling, the meager earnings from the gang's business seemed insignificant.

That said, whether it was Han Bin who turned Kwai Tsing into a uniform area or the dinosaurs who turned Tuen Mun into a uniform area, neither was considered a particularly lucrative place in the division of Hong Kong's triads.

In other words, Kowloon Tong under the leadership of Siu-yan is much better, but the competition in Kowloon Tong is also very fierce.

In addition, Han Bin is fond of gambling and often loses tens of millions of dollars in Macau. In fact, when he was holed up in Kwai Tsing, he didn't have much money. Dinosaur was in an even worse situation.

Tuen Mun is still an enclave within Hung Hing's territory, separated from Kwai Tsing by Tsuen Wan, which is controlled by the Lien Shing Big D.

But now that the three Han brothers have tasted the wonderful benefits of shipping goods by sea, how could they possibly give it up so easily?
