She wore a black bodysuit that accentuated her tall and slender figure. Her face was exquisitely sculpted, but her eyes were as cold as frost. Her hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, swaying with her movements.
It is worth noting that she was wearing a pair of black leather gloves with her fingertips exposed, but the lining of the gloves faintly emitted the sharp gleam of metal blades.
"I have a mission for you, here is the mission objective!" Mrs. M said, showing Jing the information about Jiang Lai.
Jing is an assassin trained by Madam M. Although she is beautiful, she is extremely dangerous, like a blood-red rose hidden in the darkness, capable of taking a life in an instant.
Jing looked at Jiang Lai's character introduction intently, her expression calm and composed. In her dictionary, all expressions of emotion were merely a disguise.
When she became an assassin, she was destined to be devoid of emotion and compassion, with only missions and goals in mind.
She is like a cluster of spider lilies drifting in the darkness, beautiful enough to be unforgettable, yet capable of dragging people into the abyss at any moment.
After reading Jiang Lai's character introduction, Jing remained silent, only turning her head to nod gently to Madam M.
"What are you planning to do?" Mrs. M was not surprised by Jing's performance, but simply asked what method Jing planned to use to complete the task.
"According to the information, the target of this mission is a Hong Kong man who is a triad leader in the local community. He is quite skilled, but he doesn't usually have many bodyguards with him. My suggestion is to carry out the assassination from a distance outdoors!" As a professional assassin, Jing immediately selected the assassination plan after learning about Jiang Lai's information.
“Okay, I’ll arrange for someone to take you to Hong Kong. Go and get ready!” Mrs. M nodded in agreement when she heard Jing’s plan.
Jing, the most outstanding female assassin she personally trained, currently boasts an astonishing 100% mission completion rate.
Whether it's drug lords, politicians, or underworld bosses, Jing has never failed to achieve her goal.
Therefore, Mrs. M did not take this mission too seriously.
Jing bowed slightly, then turned and left.
After Jing left, Mrs. M picked up a glass of red wine and quietly looked at the other information on the computer.
Meanwhile, after Jiang Lai left the film crew in Shek O.
First, he instructed Fly to take Gang Sheng back to his villa on Victoria Peak, and then the two of them drove to Mong Kok.
The night in Mong Kok, on Portland Street, is a vibrant display of lights and bustling activity.
Fly parked the car in front of Thirteen Sister's nightclub.
After parking the car, Fly casually tossed the keys to a parking attendant.
"Brother Lai!"
"Brother Lai!"
Fly followed behind Jiang Lai. Most of the underlings on Portland Street knew Jiang Lai, and they all greeted him when they saw him.
Jiang Lai nodded occasionally in response, and he and Wu Ying walked into the nightclub together.
Walking through the nightclub's dance floor, the music was deafening and the crowd was boisterous.
Upon arriving on the second floor, Jiang Lai headed straight for Thirteen Sister's office.
Thirteen Sister sat behind her desk, dressed in a black suit, her eyes revealing a hint of fatigue and helplessness.
Jiang Lai walked up to Thirteen Sister and gazed at her quietly.
Thirteen Sister looked up, saw Jiang Lai, and a hint of surprise and joy flashed in her eyes: "Jiang Zi!"
Jiang Lai smiled and called out, "Sister Mei!"
Chapter 168 The Arrival of the Crown Prince
Thirteen Sister looked at Jiang Lai with a hint of a smile in her eyes.
He casually picked up a cigarette from the table, held it between two fingers, and then tossed it to Jiang Lai with a flourish.
The cigarette flew in an arc through the air, and Jiang Lai caught it steadily.
Jiang Lai caught the cigarette, lit it in his mouth, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled.
"The shopping mall has officially started operating!"
Jiang Lai gave Thirteen Sister a general overview of the situation at the mall.
Jiang Lai bought all of the approximately two hundred shops on the street and re-planned the commercial area.
When Jiang Lai first proposed this plan, he intended for Thirteen Sister, Han Bin, and the Crown Prince to participate.
At that time, Jiang Lai's strength was not enough to support such a large operation.
Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince later got into trouble, and the system gave Jiang too much, both in terms of funds and manpower, which he handled all by himself.
However, although Jiang Lai managed to manage the business district all by himself, the business here still needs someone else to get involved.
"You mean to take out a portion of the shops for me and Han Bin to run?" Thirteen Sister asked Jiang Lai, exhaling a puff of smoke.
Jiang Lai nodded. He mainly deals in clothing now, but it's impossible to sell clothing on an entire street. He also needs to arrange for shoes, bags, home textiles, cosmetics, accessories, food, and so on.
Instead of involving others, it would be better to assign the task to Thirteen Sister and Han Bin, since sourcing the goods shouldn't be a problem for Han Bin.
Besides the product, people are also very important.
The management and security of the commercial street are easy to handle; Jiang Lai can make the arrangements directly.
However, positions like sales assistants, cashiers, and waitresses all require female staff, and luckily, there are plenty of girls working under Thirteen Sister.
Adhering to the principle of resource sharing, Jiang Lai plans to have Thirteen Sister contribute a group of beauties!
Of course, this matter will definitely follow the principle of voluntariness, and Jiang Lai will not force any of the ladies under Thirteen Sister's command to become sales assistants!
However, some people willingly degenerate, while others are forced into it.
After all, life is never easy. Jiang Lai had been in Portland Street for quite some time and knew that many of the girls under Thirteen Sister's command were forced to work at the nightclub because of their family circumstances.
If he had a suitable, respectable job, Jiang Lai believed he could still poach quite a few people from Thirteen Sister.
After all, apart from lazy people and some prostitutes, how many people are willing to work as prostitutes and face social discrimination and prejudice?
"I'll have someone book a private room, and I'll also call Han Bin over!" After thinking for a moment, Thirteen Sister decided to call Han Bin over to discuss the matter together.
Jiang Lai thought for a moment and then told Thirteen Sister about the Crown Prince's recovery.
"What do you plan to do?" Thirteen Sister first called Han Bin, then asked Jiang Lai hesitantly.
She always felt that when the Prince and Ah Lok were fighting each other, she and Jiang Lai were reaping the benefits behind the scenes and taking over the territory in Jordan and Tsuen Wan, which might cause the Prince to misunderstand.
“The Crown Prince is with me. I’ll send someone to fetch him!” Jiang Lai knew what Thirteen Sister meant, but he still spoke without hesitation.
Thirteen Sister glanced at Jiang Lai with a complicated expression, her eyes filled with worry.
“After all… it was agreed that he would get a share!” Jiang Lai knew Thirteen Sister’s concerns and still replied.
Jiang Lai had discussed the business district with the Crown Prince before, and there were plans to include the Crown Prince in the deal.
Even though the Crown Prince has lost power, Jiang Lai has no intention of abandoning him. Whether in his personal conduct or in his work, Jiang Lai has his own principles.
Although the biggest winner in the Tsim Sha Tsui battle was Jiang Lai, Jiang Lai won the land in Wo Luen Shing.
He didn't interfere in the Tsim Sha Tsui area.
Therefore, from beginning to end, Jiang Lai never felt that he owed the Crown Prince anything, let alone plotted against him behind his back.
At best, he was just going with the flow.
After all, it wasn't Jiang Lai who orchestrated Ah Lok's attack on Tsim Sha Tsui with Wo Luen Shing.
Even if Jiang Lai hadn't intervened, wouldn't Ah Lok have attacked Tsim Sha Tsui back then?
Jiang Lai simply knew the plot and did a little more than necessary.
Moreover, the prince himself knew that Lok had announced his intention to establish a presence in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Given his relationship with Jiang Lai and Thirteen Sister, even if the gang doesn't intervene, Jiang Lai and Thirteen Sister will still send people to provide support with just one phone call.
However, throughout the entire process, the Crown Prince neither waved the flag nor notified Jiang Lai and Thirteen Sister.
What reason would Jiang Lai have to take people to Tsim Sha Tsui?
It's all because the Crown Prince was too arrogant!
Believing himself to be a strong and well-equipped force, he led about a thousand men and directly confronted Ah Lok's entire Wo Luen Shing organization. However, he was outnumbered and ended up seriously injured.
At the last moment, Jiang Lai sent men to save the prince, preventing him from being hacked to death, and also helped him kill Big D and Ah Le!
The private room arranged by Thirteen Sister was very large, with a long leather sofa that could seat more than ten people. In front of Jiang Lai, Thirteen Sister and the others, there were foreign liquors and fruit platters. The liquid in the glasses shimmered with an enticing light, reflecting off the lamplight.
"Want me to arrange one for you?" Thirteen Sister, dressed in a black suit with her hair tied up, swirled a wine glass in one hand and had a girl on her arm in the other, raising an eyebrow as she asked Jiang Lai.
Jiang Lai rolled her eyes and gave her a disgruntled look.
Jiang Lai exhaled a puff of smoke, stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, then crossed his legs and leaned back lazily on the sofa.
He simply couldn't understand why Sister Mei, as a woman, always liked to drink with other women.
Half an hour later!
"Thirteenth Sister!" Han Bin pushed open the door of the private room and shouted loudly to Thirteenth Sister.
Thirteen Sister glared at him, annoyed: "Sit!"
Han Bin was used to Thirteen Sister's attitude and sat down directly between Thirteen Sister and Jiang Lai.
Then, in a very casual manner, he greeted Jiang Lai, "Long time no see, Lai!"
"Long time no see, Brother Bin!" Jiang Lai raised his glass in response.
Seeing this, Han Bin picked up a glass of wine from the table and clinked glasses with Jiang Lai.
"I heard from Thirteen Sister that the business district you wanted to develop has been completed?" Han Bin finished his drink and went straight to the point, asking Jiang Lai.
"Hmm!" Jiang Lai was about to continue speaking.
The door of the box was opened again.
"Your Highness!" Upon seeing the newcomer, Thirteen Sister immediately stood up.
Jiang Lai and Han Bin also turned their heads to look towards the door.
At the entrance, the Crown Prince, dressed in a black suit with a blue shirt underneath, looked at Jiang Lai and the others with a complicated expression.
The prince looked a little haggard, but his injuries had basically healed!
"Prince!"
"Prince!"
