Hong Kong film: The cop backs down, the ladies beg me to check his license.

Uncle Ben lit a cigar, took a deep drag, and frowned slightly.

He knew the negotiations would be troublesome, but he didn't expect them to be this troublesome.

In fact, everyone at Tung Sing was mentally prepared for this negotiation.

Communication between the two organizations has always been smooth.

After all, the seven-day mourning period for Babi hasn't passed yet. They had already communicated about his matter once before, and this was just another one.

However, when the conversation actually began, it became clear that this time was completely different from the last.

The white paper fan of Hung Hing is clearly Chen Yao's. Even when Chen Yao came to negotiate last time, he was not as aggressive and difficult as Ye Tian.

As expected of one of Hung Hing's most famous straw sandals, it truly lives up to its reputation.

Fortunately, Jiang Tiansheng didn't send him out last time; otherwise, it's hard to say whether Dongxing would have been able to secure that route in the Golden Triangle.

Uncle Ben is not only a veteran of Tung Sing, but also its main financial backer, controlling the organization's economic lifeline.

He had a vague feeling that the club was going to suffer a huge financial loss this time.

Lei Yaoyang will definitely be protected; that's not a problem at all.

The real problem lies in the compensation issue surrounding the death of B; that's the most troublesome part.

Uncle Ben discreetly observed Ye Tian, ​​secretly thinking, "How come I never noticed this kid before?"

"It seems we'll have to keep a close eye on him from now on. He's definitely a tough character and could very well become a big problem for Dongxing in the future."

The camel took a deep breath, suppressing its anger, its tone tinged with impatience.

"Everyone's time is precious. If you have any requests, just state them all at once. Don't waste time by dawdling around here."

Ye Tian clapped his hands, a hearty smile appearing on his face, his tone decisive and straightforward.

"Excellent! Camel is indeed a senior, he does things decisively and efficiently, unlike some people who are so indecisive."

"Our requirements are very simple, just three points."

"First, Little B's funeral must be held in a grand manner. We must give him a magnificent funeral so that he can leave with dignity."

Wu Zhiwei, the "smiling tiger," said with a forced smile and a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"That's your Hung Hing's business, your internal funeral. What does it have to do with our Tung Sing? Why should we interfere?"

Ye Tian shook his finger, his tone carrying a sense of entitlement.

"Wrong, this is not just a matter for Hung Hing, but also for your Tung Sing."

"All expenses for Little B's funeral must be paid by Tung Sing!"

What?

Camel slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, his eyes blazing with anger, and his voice carrying a hint of roar.

"Ye Tian, ​​you've gone too far! This is simply pushing your luck!"

Ye Tian's face turned cold, and his tone carried a chilling warning.

"We've already shown Dongxing considerable respect by not making Lei Yaoyang pay for his crimes in blood; we've done more than enough!"

"Siu B was killed by your Tung Sing people. Shouldn't you pay for his funeral? That's basic common sense, isn't it?"

Uncle Ben quickly reached out and tugged at the camel's arm, giving him a wink to calm him down.

Camel suppressed his anger, glared at Ye Tian fiercely, and said through gritted teeth.

"Okay, we agree to this condition."

"If you have any other requests, just say them all! Don't waste any more time!"

Ye Tian smiled with satisfaction and continued.

"Secondly, Hung Hing has spent a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources investigating Case B. You, Tung Sing, need to compensate us double for this amount."

Camel slammed his fist on the table again and said angrily.

"What do you take my Tung Sing for? Your Hung Hing's ATM? To have your expenses reimbursed at will? That's wishful thinking!"

Ye Tian met the camel's gaze without fear, his tone carrying a hint of self-righteousness.

"This money should have been paid by the murderer in the first place."

"When I was investigating, I never imagined that the person who killed our Hung Hing leader would be one of your Tung Sing members."

"Debts must be repaid, and murderers must pay with their lives—isn't that a matter of course?"

"When people offer incense to Guan Yu, aren't they all praying for this most basic fairness?"

"Why does it all change here? Are you just going through the motions when you offer incense to Guan Yu?"

The camel was speechless after Ye Tian's words. Its face turned pale and then red. It was so angry that it was trembling all over, but it couldn't find a reason to refute him.

Uncle Ben looked at Ye Tian with a strange expression. He suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was definitely not an uneducated gangster, but rather like one of the college students in his company who had studied abroad. He could argue eloquently and logically, leaving no room for rebuttal.

In terms of debating skills alone, Camel is definitely no match for this kid. Even if all the people in Dongxing were combined, they probably wouldn't be his match.

"Okay, we agree to this condition."

Uncle Ben spoke first, making the decision for Camel, and then whispered to Camel, "We're in the wrong now, there's no need to dwell on this and waste time. Let's finish this quickly and get it over with."

The camel turned its head and glared angrily at Uncle Ben, its tone tinged with confusion.

"Ben, at most we'll just pay them back for the investigation costs, why double it? Isn't that just giving them money for nothing?"

Before Uncle Ben could explain, Ye Tian spoke first to the camel.

"Senior Camel, do you really think that Hung Hing only paid a little bit of money?"

"Little B is the head of our Hung Hing branch, the person in charge of Causeway Bay, and holds a very important position."

"His entire family was wiped out, a horrific event that caused a huge shock within the gang."

"The entire triad is in a state of panic. All branches have put aside their other tasks and are focusing all their efforts on investigating the cause of Sze B's death."

"Don't you owe money for the business that was delayed during this period? Don't you need to compensate for the lost profits?"

"Shouldn't this incident have caused psychological damage to my Hung Hing brothers? Shouldn't it be compensated with money?"

"Don't those bosses who rely on our Hung Hing for protection deserve compensation for the losses they suffered because of this incident?"

"Aren't these all considered costs?"

Wu Zhiwei could no longer hold back and burst into a tirade of curses.

"How can you be even more shameless than me? You've completely shattered my understanding of shamelessness!"

"So many people in Hung Hing were busy working on your 25 million dollar bounty, and now you have the nerve to ask us for compensation? It's utterly shameless!"

Ye Tian glanced at Wu Zhiwei with disdain, his tone carrying a hint of righteous indignation.

"Nonsense!"

"Our Hung Hing has always been known for its loyalty and righteousness. How could we possibly mobilize such a large force for such a petty amount of money?"

"Early this morning, all the hall masters and high-ranking members of the gang personally went up the mountain to see off Little B."

"If it's for that little bit of money, wouldn't it be better for them to stay home and sleep? Why risk traveling so far?"

"You are tarnishing the reputation of Hung Hing; you must be punished!"

"I suddenly realize that doubling the 25 million investigation fee isn't enough; it needs to be tripled!"

Wu Zhiwei was so angry that his hands were shaking. He had never seen such a shameless guy in all his life.

They're clearly after money, yet they make it sound so righteous and high-sounding; it's utterly disgusting.

"I'm going to have to write this down carefully. Next time I'm negotiating with other gangs, I'll use this trick to infuriate them!"

The camel was also so angry that it trembled all over, its chest heaving violently, clearly on the verge of exploding.

Uncle Ben pulled him back again, shook his head at him, and said with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"Boss, we're a big organization, making money is our top priority."

"We are indeed in the wrong now... Let's just admit it and pay to settle things, it's better than starting a war."

The camel gritted its teeth, making a grinding sound, and finally nodded dejectedly.

He knew in his heart that Uncle Ben was right.

Joining a gang isn't ultimately about fighting and killing; it's all about business and making money.

Although tens of millions hurt, it's nothing compared to the entire Tung Sing triad.

As long as this matter can be resolved and I can continue to make money peacefully, spending a little money is worthwhile.

The camel took a deep breath and said with a hint of weariness in its voice.

"Okay, three times it is, we agree to that condition, is that alright?"

Ye Tian nodded, his tone carrying a sense of matter-of-fact.

"That's how it should be. You were in the wrong first, so you should naturally pay a higher price. That's only right."

"The money is settled, now let's talk about the territory."

Upon hearing this, everyone from Dongxing was immediately enraged. They all stood up, their eyes filled with fury and their voices filled with disbelief and anger.
