Hong Kong film: Zhou Chu eliminates the three evils, I am the leader of the Sanlian Gang

Ren Jiu looked at Chen Guilin beside him, not expecting him to make such a big fuss. He then patted Chen Guilin on the shoulder and said:

"Guilin boy, remember this: we're going to a funeral, not to fight. Why are you bringing so many people?"

Chen Guilin scratched his head and said, "Boss, you've taken care of Han Chun. Aren't you worried that the people from the North Pavilion might try to stab you with knives later?"

Chen Guilin was still quite worried about Ren Jiu's safety, mainly because Han Chun had been killed by their Sanlian Gang. Now Ren Jiu was going to Han Chun's funeral to join in the fun, wasn't that just a direct provocation?

He was afraid that the people from the North Pavilion would be tempted to attack the boss, so he brought several hundred men with him.

Hearing this, Ren Jiu realized that Chen Guilin's words made sense, patted him on the back, and said with a smile:

"Guilin boy, you're getting more and more thoughtful. Not bad, short mule needs to learn to use his brain."

Gui Dong and Han Chun's father are sworn brothers, so there's a real possibility that he might actually try to kill Ren Jiu. However, Ren Jiu only thought about it for a moment and then dismissed the possibility.

Mr. Gui has such a good temper, or to put it bluntly, he's easy to bully. In the movie, even though many of his underlings died, Mr. Gui still chose to tolerate Liu Jian's repeated bullying from the Jianhehui. He's even more tolerant than the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Liu Jian was practically riding on his face, and Gui Dong didn't react at all. How dare he fight the Sanlian Gang? What a joke! He just brought some men along just in case.

Chen Guilin then opened the car door for Ren Jiu, who got into the Mercedes-Benz van, intending to join in the fun and make some contact with the people from the North Pavilion. He also invited Lao Shuming and the others to come with him.

……

Meanwhile, at Han Chun's home in New Taipei City, wreaths and elegiac couplets were displayed. Several pale-faced opera singers were invited to perform outside the mourning hall. There was no boisterous banging of gongs and drums, only the occasional sound of sobbing.

The entire mourning hall was quiet and solemn. Han Chun's photo was hung in the center of the hall. Most of the people who came to visit today were dressed in black suits or wearing white mourning clothes to pay their respects to Han Chun.

The master of ceremonies was also presiding over the funeral. Gui Dong, dressed in a black suit and hat, leaning on a cane, was with Ah Ren by his side, comforting Han Chun's family.

After comforting them, Gui Dong sat down with A Ren, sighed, and said to A Ren, "After the funeral, send some money to Han Chun's wife and children as my way of taking care of them."

Mr. Gui is a man of great loyalty and righteousness. Otherwise, his North Pavilion would have swallowed up Han Chun's territory long ago. Han Chun's father and Mr. Gui are sworn brothers, and he has done everything he could to be kind and righteous.

Ah Ren nodded and then said, "Boss, I understand."

Just then, more than 20 Mercedes-Benz vans suddenly pulled up in front of Han Chun's house. The emcee, who had also received prior notice, shouted loudly:

"Welcome to the memorial service by Jiu, the head of the Yizitang branch of the Sanlianbang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Jiu arrived with a large group of burly men in black suits. On his left and right were Lao Shuming and Chen Guilin, while Black Caesar Duncan and White Ghost remained seated in the car.

The appearance of the Sanlian Gang made the people in the North Hall frown, especially Ah Ren staring at Ren Jiu, wondering what the Sanlian Gang meant. Wasn't this a case of the rabbit mourning the fox's death?

However, seeing that the Sanlian Gang had brought so many people, they dared not make any rash moves and believed that the Sanlian Gang would not cause trouble at the funeral.

The emcee handed Ren Jiu three incense sticks and announced, "First bow, second bow, third bow..."

After Ren Jiu finished his casual bow, he picked up three incense sticks and placed them in the incense burner. After offering the incense, he took out 10 NT dollars and handed it to Han Chun's wife, saying with a smile:

"This is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."

After saying this, Han Chun's wife felt a little uneasy and quickly took the money.

After delivering the money to the family members, Ren Jiu sat on a chair next to him. There were a dozen or so empty chairs there, specifically for guests to rest.

Upon seeing Ren Jiu, Director Gui frowned, then, leaning on his cane, rose and, accompanied by Ah Ren and several of his underlings, approached Ren Jiu. He then said to Ren Jiu:

"Master Ren, let's go outside and talk."

Ren Jiu smiled and looked at the distinguished chairman in front of him, saying, "No problem."

After saying this, Ren Jiu led his men and the nobleman out of the mourning hall. Once outside the villa, Ren Jiu lit a cigar and looked at the nobleman in front of him, saying:

"How do you want to talk?"

Mr. Gui also knew that the Sanlian Gang had stormed into New Taipei City and taken over its territory in the western district. He then spoke:

“Master Ren, New Taipei City has always been our North Hall’s territory.”

Previously, New Taipei City was mainly dominated by two corners, Beiguan and Beicheng. The remaining three districts were all Beiguan's territory, and the boss of Beiguan was Gui Dong.

After speaking, Mr. Gui paused again: "I hope that your Sanlian Gang will stop causing trouble in Beiguan. Beiguan has always been our territory, and I hope that everyone can get along peacefully."

Mr. Gui also intended to give Ren Jiu a warning. Who knows if the Sanlian Gang's influence will target the other three districts after entering New Taipei City, since those three districts are also their Beiguan territory.

Ren Jiu smiled upon hearing this, then said nonchalantly, "If I cause trouble, what does your North Pavilion want to do? Want to fight me? What do you have to fight me with?"

Ren Jiu's words completely disregarded Gui Dong, knowing he was just a ninja turtle.

Upon hearing this, Director Gui was surprised that Ren Jiu showed him no respect whatsoever, and his expression instantly turned ugly.

Ren Jiu smiled, took a puff of his cigar, and slowly exhaled: "Mr. Chairman, you're getting old. You should step down. Why are you competing with the young people for a position?"

Mr. Gui has held this position for many years. If Mr. Gui were to step down, Mr. Ren would definitely take his place. In fact, Mr. Ren's subordinates are quite dissatisfied with Mr. Gui.

Otherwise, when you suffered a sudden heart attack, even though Ah Qing saw the medicine next to you, he didn't hand it to you, hoping that you would step down as soon as possible.

Mr. Gui's face was somewhat gloomy. Although he was quite old, he still wanted to be the boss of the North Pavilion and never thought of stepping down, which had long made many of his subordinates restless.

Before Mr. Gui could continue speaking, Ren Jiu turned his head and smiled, saying:

"Hehe, Mr. Chairman, I was just joking with you. You don't need to take it so seriously. Of course, I hope to get along well with you in New Taipei City. My Qiangwei Beer business is also planning to have a big sale in New Taipei City. I will need your help to take care of it then."

After saying this, Ren Jiu ignored the boss's expression and left with his men, merely informing him of the situation.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Gui Dong and A Ren both looked rather grim. They hadn't expected the Sanlian Gang to be so domineering. The Sanlian Gang was blatantly humiliating them by coming to Han Chun's funeral today. What kind of enemy would attend a funeral?

But Mr. Gui still held back and watched Ren Jiu leave.

After Ren Jiu left, Ah Ren, who was standing to the side, looked somewhat gloomy. He had been holding back his anger because the boss hadn't spoken. Then he said to Chairman Gui:

"Boss, these guys are too arrogant. The Triads don't take us gang leaders seriously."

The gang leaders are quite famous among the triads in Taiwan because they have stronger cohesion than triads like the Triads. Most of their subordinates are loyal and follow your orders.

Unlike the Sanlian Gang, which is divided into five main halls, each of which had its own agenda, the two main hall leaders of the Sanlian Gang are now Ren Jiu's men, so their cohesion has been much stronger.

Hearing what Ah Ren said, Director Gui frowned. He preferred harmony and disliked fighting and killing. He then said:

"Ah Ren, don't cause trouble. Let's just let this matter go and avoid conflict with the Sanlian Gang."

Actually, Mr. Gui also has his own concerns. If he fights, what can he use to fight the Sanlian Gang? As the largest gang in Taiwan, the Sanlian Gang can crush them with one hand, so he can only swallow his anger.

Although he and Han Chun's father were sworn brothers and he had been taking care of Han Chun all these years, he really didn't dare to mess with the Sanlian Gang, and there was something about them he couldn't afford to offend.

However, his gang's influence was not small. As the leader of the North Hall, he couldn't possibly be intimidated by Ren Jiu's words, otherwise he wouldn't be the leader of the North Hall.

Mr. Gui was no longer in the mood and said, "I'll be leaving now. I have some things to take care of. Remember to send some money to Han Chun's wife and children later."

Upon hearing this, Ah Ren looked disappointed but didn't say anything. He simply nodded and said, "I understand, boss."

Ah Ren also knew that the boss valued harmony and was unwilling to fight, so as his subordinate, he naturally wouldn't interfere.

As the funeral was drawing to a close, Ah Ren took a NT$150 million check from his underling and went to Han Chun's wife, who was crying with red eyes while holding her son.

Ah Ren approached Han Chun's wife and said, "Sister-in-law, this is a small token of your appreciation from Chairman Gu."

After saying that, Ah Ren handed over a check for NT$150 million. Han Chun's wife nodded quickly, bowed, and said, "Thank you, thank you."

After all, for them, losing Han Chun meant losing their source of income, and they needed the money, so they didn't refuse.

After delivering the money, Ah Ren left with his underlings.

……

On the other side, Ren Jiu was sitting in the nanny van, with Chen Guilin and Lao Shuming beside him. Black Caesar Duncan and White Ghost were sitting in other cars. At this moment, Ren Jiu took out a cigar from his suit pocket.

The quick-witted Lao Shuming immediately took out a lighter and lit it for Ren Jiu, his face full of respect.

After taking a puff of his cigar, Ren Jiu looked at Lao Shuming and said with a smile, "Ah Ming, you're the most perceptive one."

Mouse Ming chuckled: "You're the best teacher, boss."

Ren Jiu then tossed a cigar to Lao Shuming and Chen Guilin, who were sitting in the passenger seat, and then puffed on it.

After flicking off some cigar ash, Ren Jiu instructed Chen Guilin and Lao Shuming:

"Tomorrow you should bring the Qiangwei Beer business directly over here, and then sell it throughout the entire New Taipei City."

Upon hearing this, Chen Guilin was slightly taken aback and asked with some doubt, "Boss, are they also selling in the North Pavilion area?"

It's important to understand that they only took over the West District of New Taipei City; the other three districts are under the control of the North Group. If they were to monopolize these businesses, it could very likely cause dissatisfaction among the people at the North Group.

Hearing this, Ren Jiu smiled and said, "Sell? Why wouldn't we sell? This Mr. Gui is a coward. Even if we sell the business to his territory, he won't dare to fight us."

Upon hearing this, Chen Guilin nodded, agreeing to do as his boss instructed: "I understand. I'll arrange for someone to promote Qiangwei Beer tomorrow."

They were already very experienced at doing these things, Ren Jiu thought with a hint of sarcasm. Since the esteemed chairman liked being a Ninja Turtle, then let him continue being one.

He was determined to expand and make money from the Qiangwei Beer business. Ren Jiu came here not only to attend Han Chun's funeral, but also to expand the beer business to the entire New Taipei City.

New Taipei City isn't that big, but it's not that small either; it's a piece of meat. The reason Ren Jiu dared to sell his beer business in Beiguan territory was largely because he was certain that Chairman Gui wouldn't dare to attack them.

After all, in the movie, Mr. Gui really did play a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. His underlings were extremely dissatisfied with him, and even good-natured Ah Ren wanted to take revenge on the Jianhe Association, but Mr. Gui stopped him.

Even if Liu Jian stepped on your face, you still wouldn't fight. You still wanted to sit down and negotiate peacefully. Unless it came down to life or death, you might not dare to fall out with Ren Jiu.

That's why Ren Jiu dared to expand his beer business, and he wasn't afraid of Gui Dong causing trouble; he didn't have that kind of guts.

P.S.: I'd like to get some review votes and some 2-star ratings.

Chapter Ninety: Deputy Director Gao's Promotion

Meanwhile, in the North Pavilion, Ah Ren was in his company with a group of his underlings, gathered around a green table, playing dominoes.

Pai Gow, a traditional gambling game, is quite popular among dwarfs because it is simple and straightforward.
