Deng Wei took the pipe out of his mouth and shouted at Chen Jialuo and the others.
Chen Jialuo and the others quickly addressed him as "Uncle Chicken" according to their seniority.
Deng Wei pointed at Chen Jialuo and said, "Brother Lao Ji, this is Tommy, who caused trouble in Temple Street. His older brother, Babi, just died, and he stepped forward to take on Babi's debts. Don't let his youth fool you; he's loyal and righteous. Everyone in the Wo Shing family, from the brothers to the uncles, gives him a thumbs up. Young people are bound to have some temper."
(PS: Minor edit. I rewatched the Hong Kong version of the movie "Triad," and in the film, Hang Kee should be associated with contracts. When the male lead was taking his job, the person with the white paper fan shouted, "On the left, dragon, tiger, turtle, and snake gather; on the right, carved beasts and contracts." This has been corrected but does not affect readability.)
Chapter 13 Reason prevails above all, let's take over Temple Street!
"It's not just about anger..."
Before Deng Wei could finish speaking, Brother Chicken spoke calmly, emanating an aura of authority.
He took two puffs of his pipe and said slowly, "Tonight, the chief inspector of the West Kowloon Regional Anti-Triad Unit called me to inquire about the situation. I'm getting old, and I rarely get involved in Temple Street matters under normal circumstances."
"Today, your two families have made a big scene in Temple Street, which has violated the rules I set. Rules are rules, and I haven't been involved in Temple Street for a long time. So, since you asked me to step in tonight, I'll take advantage of my seniority and act as a peacemaker."
"Brother Chicken, Tommy, he..."
Deng Wei was about to speak.
"Hey, Fatty Deng, you don't need to say anything more."
Old Chicken Brother spread his hands to stop him from continuing, and his cloudy eyes sharpened at the same time. He stared at Chen Jialuo and said, "You're Tommy, right? I'm asking you, what exactly happened tonight?"
For a long time, no one dared to cause trouble in Temple Street because of Brother Chicken's existence.
After all, Brother Chicken had a legal gun license and the backing of his foreign superiors. The four Chinese detectives of the Money Age were quite powerful, weren't they? They all had to respectfully call Brother Chicken "Brother Chicken."
Old Chicken Brother's status in Temple Street is equivalent to that of the Godfather in the movie "The Godfather".
He is the godfather of Temple Street.
“Alo, when your Uncle Chicken asks you a question, you must answer honestly.”
Deng Wei looked at Chen Jialuo, signaling him to speak.
"Yes."
Chen Jialuo responded and asked Min Ge, "Uncle Min, may I ask how much my elder brother Babi owes in the contract? Huo Baoming initially told me it was 5.5 million, and that I should pay back 5 million. When I asked him for an IOU, he told me to come up with 1 million and that would be the end of it."
"Young man, you've already taken down Fiery Ming, so you can say whatever you want now. But tonight's events didn't need to go so far, did they? I know your leader so well, we're both from the same gang, a single phone call would have been enough, why make such a fuss!"
Min Ge spread his hands, shook his head, and gave a bitter laugh, his tone filled with endless desolation.
Both being companies with the "He" character in their names, Hehe Cooperative's strength is far inferior to Heliansheng, not to mention Hehe Cooperative, which has lost Yaowen and Huobaoming.
"It's not hard to figure this out. Go ask them whose place they were causing trouble at tonight, and call the boss over here."
Brother Chicken called out to his son-in-law.
"understood."
His son-in-law immediately got up and went outside. About five minutes later, he brought in a middle-aged man wearing a shirt.
As soon as the middle-aged man entered, he walked up to Brother Chicken and said respectfully, "Brother Chicken."
Then he pointed to Chen Jialuo and the others and said, "It was them who had late-night snacks at my food stall tonight. I remember it very clearly."
With a pig, a monkey, a dragon, and Chen Jialuo's face, it's hard for him to forget them.
"Sit down and talk."
Old Chicken nodded to Big Bull and then said, "This is Big Bull. He said Tommy had his midnight snack at his place tonight. Big Bull, what happened tonight?"
"Thanks, Brother Chicken."
After the middle-aged man sat down, he pointed at Chen Jialuo and began to recount the whole story, including the details of Huo Baoming's initial attack with a knife.
When Huo Baoming brought his men over, Huo Baoming, as the boss, was afraid something might happen, so he rushed over and stayed there all night.
"Alright, Big Cow, go back to sleep."
After hearing this, Brother Chicken waved his hand, and after Big Bull left, he said to Brother Min, "Ah Min, how much money does Babi of Wo Luen Shing owe you?"
"Brother Chicken, Huobaoming was clearly at fault in this matter. We have to admit defeat according to the contract. I'm even afraid of losing face if word gets out."
The truth has come out, and Min-ge has nothing more to say. He can only blame Huo-bao-ming for his foolishness.
"So how much money do you owe us exactly?" Old Chicken continued to ask.
"We've already brought the IOU."
Min nodded to Daweicheng, who then took out an IOU and placed it in front of Laoji.
Old Chicken took the IOU, glanced at it, shook his head, and chuckled, "The IOU says 500,000. Huo Baoming didn't act smartly, so he can't blame others. Here's what we'll do: according to the rules of the underworld, nine out of 13 will be returned, so you'll give 650,000 to the contract. Let's make it 50/50,000, for a total of 1 million, as compensation."
“Amin, since the Temple Street branch of Wo Luen Shing has been broken up, Temple Street will be under Wo Luen Shing’s management from now on. You all have no objections, right?”
The phrase "nine out, thirteen back" means that out of a 500,000 IOU, 50,000 is withdrawn, and the remainder is repaid at a 30% interest rate.
"I have no problem, thank you for upholding justice, Brother Chicken. Amin, I'll have someone bring you the money tomorrow."
Deng Wei's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter; naturally, he had no objections.
Brother Laoji upheld justice, and even if Brother Min regrets it in the future, he will have nothing to say. If he does regret it, then he is disrespecting Brother Min.
Min-ge's heart was bleeding, but there was nothing he could do. He had to give up this lucrative area of Temple Street, even if he didn't want to. Fiery Ming and Yao-wen were already dead, and there was no powerful figure to protect them from the storm. They would lose it sooner or later.
He said to Brother Chicken, "Hey, Brother Chicken, you're in charge now."
"We're all on the same page, so let's shake hands and make peace. I don't want you guys fighting and killing each other. Alright, I'm going to sleep now."
At this point, Brother Chicken stood up and looked at Chen Jialuo, saying, "And you, Tommy, you'd better keep Temple Street in check for me. If anything happens, I'll hold you responsible."
"Yes, Uncle Chicken."
Chen Jialuo quickly expressed his opinion.
It was already 3 a.m. when the group from Wo Luen Shing left the mahjong parlor. The dim streetlights cast long shadows of them.
Chen Jialuo looked at Deng Wei with a docile expression, "Grandpa, I'm sorry to have troubled you with the expense."
"Don't spend any money, Alo, you did a great job today. You're right to speak your mind. As the person in charge of Wo Luen Shing, I will definitely support you all to the end."
After a pause, Deng Wei said with a pleased expression, "Tomorrow, the news of what happened to you guys will spread throughout the entire martial arts world. Very good. This way, you can secure your position as the leader of the Yau Ma Tei branch! No one else in the martial arts world will look down on you. Alright, you guys should go back and get some rest."
"Yes, Grandpa."
Chen Jialuo opened the car door for Deng Wei.
"Go to bed early."
Deng Wei waved to Chen Jialuo.
After Tiger Head left Temple Street, Deng Wei couldn't hold back any longer and excitedly slapped his thigh, "I knew this kid had guts! White Head, pick a good day, after that bastard Chan Ho-nam is dead, we'll have a big celebration with the Luckin Chow at the Three Saints Palace."
"A Luo is young after all, with little experience in the martial arts world. Who will give him double flowers when the time comes?"
Being called a "Double Flower Red Stick" means that in addition to your own gang giving you the title of "Red Stick," other gangs in the martial arts world also give you the title of "Double Flower," acknowledging that you are a "Red Stick."
This is what you call a double-flower red stick.
"Based on tonight's battle, are you still worried about not having a top score and getting a double flower for him?"
Deng Wei laughed heartily.
(PS: Minor edit. I rewatched the Hong Kong version of the movie "Triad". Heng Kee should be the contract. When the male lead takes the job, the white paper fan shouts: "On the left, dragon, tiger, turtle, and snake gather; on the right, carved beast and contract." It doesn't affect the reading experience.)
Chapter 14 Those who live by the sword never let revenge linger overnight.
Watching Tiger Head gallop away, Deng Wei's face, brimming with barely suppressed excitement, remained vividly in Chen Jialuo's mind.
It's just a temple street, yet Uncle Deng, the head of Wo Luen Shing, is so excited. No wonder everyone in the underworld says that Wo Luen Shing is now a sunset society.
You should know that the large nightclubs on Kimberley Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, Tolo Street in Causeway Bay, and Portland Street all charge millions for a venue rental fee.
Like Axe Jun, who previously moved from Wo Luen Shing to Sun Kee, some big fishmongers even personally invited him to check out their establishments, easily earning tens of millions in a year.
Of course, being able to take over Temple Street and kill Fiery Ming and Yaowen also meant that Chen Jialuo had entered the inner circle of the martial arts world.
Temple Street is known as Hong Kong's "people's nightclub," with just one street bringing in millions of dollars in revenue for the establishment each month, thanks to its thousands of stalls. Previously, the contract was with this place, collecting a protection fee of one thousand dollars per stall per month.
In addition, Temple Street is a melting pot of all sorts of people, making it an excellent gathering place for young ladies, so it's no wonder Deng Wei was so excited.
After Tiger Head Ben disappeared into Temple Street, Park Che Wei finally asked, "Brother Luo, should we take over the Temple Street territory after dawn?"
"Tomorrow morning, you two will go and take over Temple Street. It's already quite late, so you two should go back and rest. Be careful on your journey."
Chen Jialuo turned around and glanced at him, then said.
"Goodnight, Brother Luo."
"Brother Luo, you should go to sleep early too."
Black Star and Park Chewei said goodbye to Chen Jialuo and then left.
"Let's go, get the guys ready."
Chen Jialuo's eyes turned cold as he opened the car door of Dajinmen.
"Brother Luo, where are we going now?"
