Zhutian: Starting from being forced to bind

"Boss B broke the rules. We can't count on Mr. Jiang for this. He will definitely protect Boss B. Besides, we don't have any evidence. If we want to get back at him, we can only rely on ourselves."

"Go on."

"What we need to do now is to make Boss B let down his guard. The more you scold him, the more it proves that you have no way to deal with him. If you had a way, you wouldn't have to scold him in the office."

Liang Kun's eyes rolled and he immediately understood what Chen Xi meant.

"There's no rush for this matter. I'll deal with him in two days."

"Aren't you afraid of being suspected if you take action at this time?"

"We need to take action at this time. We want to create a contrast and make everyone think that we dare not take action. So if someone takes action at this time, it can only be someone who wants to frame you, Brother Kun."

Liang Kun understood immediately that this time it was a psychological warfare. It was really me who did it, but no matter how you look at it, I shouldn't have done it. As long as someone suspected me, I would use this opportunity to clear myself. I could kill Big Boss B and get my revenge without being harassed by others.

"Brother Kun, you know we are not cops. For some things, even if there is no evidence, as long as we determine that you did it, then whether it is true or not... that's it."

Liang Kun knew that this was Jiang Tiansheng's idea. Even if he was cleared of suspicion on the surface, Jiang Tiansheng believed that he did it. He could not escape with or without evidence.

"Dawn, don't worry. I'm mentally prepared. I'll have to turn hostile this time. Jiang Tiansheng is just testing me this time to see if I have the guts to fight him to the end."

"Yes, I think so too. If you fight back, he will just lose a big boss. If you don't fight back, who knows what will be waiting for us next time."

"You're right. Are you sure about handing this over to you?"

"Brother Kun, don't worry, I can not only do a great job, but I can also clear you of suspicion, but..."

"what happened?"

"Brother Kun, what about Boss B's family?" Chen Xi said in embarrassment: "I don't want to do anything to his family, especially since they have two children."

Liang Kun pondered for a moment and waved his hand: "You are responsible for Big Boss B, you don't have to worry about the others."

"Yes, I understand." Chen Xi didn't say anything else. The most he could do was not to do it himself, but if Liang Kun wanted to do it, there was no need for him to stop him for the sake of Big Brother B's family.

To put it bluntly, when Boss B's family is enjoying the wealth he brought back, they should bear the corresponding consequences. Do they really think that joining a gang is a good thing?

Chapter 252 Target Shatin

"I'm telling you, don't say anything without evidence." Liang Kun tapped the table, looking defiant: "Boss B has so many enemies, who knows if he has messed with other people's wives and daughters?"

"You bastard!" Chen Haonan rushed directly to Liang Kun: "You are the one who killed Brother B!"

Chen Xi dodged and stood in front of Chen Haonan: "Go back, or I will kill you!"

Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Jiang Tiansheng slammed the table hard and said, "Alright! Anan, go back and sit down. What happened to Big Boss B was not done by A-Kun."

The leader spoke, and no matter how unwilling Chen Haonan was, he had to retreat. However, he still stared at Liang Kun. He had already determined in his heart that the other party was the one who did it.

Liang Kun acted indifferent and insisted that he didn't do it. The reason was simple. Everyone knew about the conflict between him and Big Brother B. He must be crazy to attack Big Brother B at this time.

Framed!

It must be a frame-up. He was not afraid of investigation into this matter. He even asked Jiang Tiansheng to clear his name.

Liang Kun's attitude really confused Jiang Tiansheng. Before the meeting, almost everyone believed that it was Liang Kun who did it, but after the meeting, Jiang Tiansheng and the other hall masters were no longer sure.

Boss B died in a public place, shot to death. After the incident, the police quickly responded but failed to catch the murderer, so they could only take the body back. No matter who Boss B was, this shooting case had to be investigated. Shooting in a public place caused too much trouble, and the police needed to investigate all clues, including an autopsy. When Jiang Tiansheng got hold of Boss B's body through his connections, he also asked for an autopsy report.

The problem lies in the autopsy report. Although they also died of gunshot wounds, the bullets in Big B's body were completely different from those of the people previously suspected to have been killed by Dawn, and the damage caused by the bullets was also different.

Big Brother B is the hall master after all, and he is one of their own. Even if Liang Kun wants to kill Big Brother B, he can only let his confidant do it. The fewer people who know about it, the better. The first person suspected is Chen Xi.

There must be more than one Chen Xi who has used guns to kill people on the streets of Hong Kong, but among the people offended by Boss B's interpersonal network, only Chen Xi is the one who likes to use guns the most.

Chen Xi is from Hongxing and has a big circle style. Whenever he takes action, he will use a gun and leave no one alive. This has almost become a consensus.

There is nothing wrong with Chen Xi becoming the first suspect.

The forensic autopsy report made Jiang Tiansheng somewhat suspicious, and he had to activate a nail buried next to Liang Kun, and got the most secret information. When Big Brother B died, Liang Kun and Chen Xi were busy with other things.

In other words, Liang Kun and Chen Xi have a perfect alibi. Not only them, but even Liang Kun's subordinates, after careful investigation, can provide proof that it was not them who did it.

There is no need to even consider the younger brothers at the lower level. Even if these short mules have the courage to do it, Liang Kun may not trust them.

As for why Liang Kun did not prove himself, Jiang Tiansheng could understand it. On the day that Big Brother B died, Liang Kun went to prepare a new flour processing plant. He must have kept this matter a secret and could not tell anyone.

Liang Kun would rather bear the suspicion of killing Boss B than tell Jiang Tiansheng about the processing plant. This is because he is afraid of being tricked again.

It can be said that Liang Kun's behavior was completely logical. He did not have the right people to do this, nor did he hire someone to kill someone. At least no one in the underworld had ever heard of this secret.

So the question is, who killed Big Boss B?

Jiang Tiansheng has begun to suspect other societies, wondering if someone is secretly causing trouble. He won't trust everything Liang Kun says, so he has to continue investigating the matter secretly.

It's nonsense to say that he is seeking justice for Big Brother B. Jiang Tiansheng is simply afraid that Liang Kun will not follow the rules. If he can kill Big Brother B today, he can kill him tomorrow. This must not be ignored.

Only Chen Haonan and others firmly suspected that their boss was killed by Liang Kun. Regardless of whether there was evidence or not, they were determined to do so.

The other hall masters acted as if it was none of their business. Big Brother B was alive and had some friendship with them, but he was dead. What's the point of bothering them? He was a gangster, so how could he be so kind-hearted?

The meeting lasted for more than half an hour, and there was still no conclusion on Big Boss B's matter, but the wind direction had changed. Most people were still inclined to frame him. They felt that Liang Kun was not stupid and would not do such a thing at this time.

You have to know that this is killing a fellow disciple, which is a heinous crime in the society.

This is the only way to deal with Boss B for the time being. In order to appease Chen Haonan and win over the forces left behind by Boss B, Jiang Tiansheng suggested that Boss B's position be given to Chen Haonan.

"Ha~" Liang Kun scoffed at the proposal and asked the most crucial question: "What contributions has Chen Haonan made to the society? Why does he become the leader?"

In a word, both Jiang Tiansheng and Chen Haonan were pushed to the wall. In terms of reputation, Chen Haonan has indeed been quite famous in the past two years and is considered the number one general under Big Boss B, but in terms of achievements, there is really nothing to show off.

Liang Kun bluntly suggested that Chen Xi be promoted. Whether in terms of fame or strength, Chen Xi is much stronger than Chen Haonan. The all-powerful team in Causeway Bay was also built up by Chen Xi. Why can't he be the leader?

Chen Haonan was so angry that he was already thinking about how to kill Liang Kun.

Chen Xi sat behind Liang Kun calmly, not expecting much from this matter. He knew that Jiang Tiansheng would never agree to it. Besides, his target was not Tsz Wan Shan.

The second half of the meeting was a confrontation between Jiang Tiansheng and Liang Kun. Both of them argued their case, and the reasons they put forward were both valid.

Jiang Tiansheng felt that Chen Xi had no roots in Tsz Wan Shan, and that Boss B's men would not obey him.

Liang Kun concluded that Chen Haonan was incompetent and had no merit, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

Finally, under the persuasion of other hall masters, both sides took a step back and Chen Haonan temporarily took over the position of Big Boss B, and would only be confirmed as the hall master after he had made achievements.

Chen Xi's words provided him with a shortcut. As long as he could conquer his own territory, it would not be impossible for Hongxing to set up another gang, and he would be the leader of the new gang.

This is also the bottom line of Liang Kun and Chen Xi. This is what they want. Autonomy is much better than designation.

The meeting was over, Liang Kun left in a swagger, and Chen Xi followed silently behind him. The two of them pretended not to see Chen Haonan's murderous look.

The other hall masters also said goodbye and left. After they left, they were still talking about what happened. Han Bin, who was a close friend of Thirteenth Sister, approached her and asked, "Do you think it was Liang Kun who did it?"

"Does it matter whether it is or not?" Thirteenth Sister chuckled: "This matter has nothing to do with us. Let Liang Kun and Mr. Jiang fight, and we will just watch."

"That's what I mean." Han Bin continued, "No matter who wins in the end, as long as it doesn't harm our interests, we don't care."

"That's it."

Among the leaders of Hongxing, there are obviously three factions. There are those who stand on Jiang Tiansheng's side, such as Big Brother B, Prince, and Chen Yao. There are also those who stand on Liang Kun's side, such as Brother Ji and Fatty Li. Then there are the neutral factions such as Han Bin and Thirteenth Sister.

Jiang Tiansheng's faction doesn't care who the real murderer is, whether it is Liang Kun or not, when the time comes to settle accounts, it can be blamed on Liang Kun. What they care about is whether Chen Haonan, the person who replaced Big Brother B, is on the same side as them.

In order to win over Chen Haonan, Jiang Tiansheng had to give Chen Xi the right to be independent. The price he paid was not small. As long as Chen Xi could take over a street, he would be the new hall master, which would once again strengthen the strength of Liang Kun's side.

Privately, Jiang Tiansheng also discussed with Chen Yao who killed Big Brother B. Was there really someone secretly doing something, or was it Liang Kun who was deliberately creating confusion?

The person who killed Big Boss B was doing an internship. Chen Xi disguised Kawakami Tomie and shot Big Boss B, making him look like a certain Dongxing younger brother. He then gave the other party a psychological hint, subtly making the other party believe that he was the one who killed Big Boss B.

Liang Kun did not ask about this matter at all. He could have sworn that he did not kill Big Boss B. Indeed, he did not know what Chen Xi had done. He only knew that the result was good.

Similarly, Chen Xi did not ask about Boss B’s family and announced to the public that they were missing. Anyone with a discerning eye knew what happened: the whole family was wiped out.

Chen Xi didn't know who Liang Kun asked to do this, and he didn't ask. He would be upset if he knew, and it would be bad if it affected the relationship between him and Liang Kun.

After returning to Liang Kun's company, the two discussed what to do next. According to Liang Kun's idea, they would directly take over Yau Ma Tei. Yau Tsim Mong is a prosperous area, Mong Kok and Bowl Lane belong to Thirteenth Sister, and Tsim Sha Tsui is the territory of Prince. Only Yau Tsim Mong is a mixed bag. If the place can be made into a uniform one, no one in Hongxing will oppose Chen Xi becoming the new leader.

Chen Xi gave a direct PASS to this. He looked down upon the current operation model of the community. Even if they took over Yau Tsim Mong, it would be nothing more than collecting protection fees. There was no point. If he wanted to do it, he would just be his own boss.

"I'm going to Shatin."

"Where are you going?" Liang Kun's hoarse voice was almost breaking.

"Shatin, New Territories."

The expression that Liang Kun gave Chen Xi was exactly the same as that of the old man looking at his phone in the subway.

"That place doesn't look prosperous now, but the future prospects are very good. Most importantly, there are many people there."

"There's no use having more people!" Liang Kun looked down on the people there: "They are all poor people. Do you still want to collect protection money from a bunch of poor people?"

"No, I plan to open a factory. The Shatin District is considered a light industrial area in the government's planning. There are favorable policies for opening a factory there."

This is the blind spot of Liangkun's knowledge. His eyes are full of confusion. Factory? Policy?

"Brother Kun, there are only a few businesses you can do when you're in a gang, and they're all saturated now. How much can you get from eating from the same pot as those people? Besides, the pot isn't that big to begin with."

"Yeah." Liang Kun nodded, indicating that what you said made sense: "Then if you open a factory, you will be sure to make money?"

"It's OK. Even if I make money, it's not quick money, but it's safe."

"Tsk!" Liang Kun chuckled, "Dawen, you said you're already in a club, but you're still thinking about making some quick bucks. What's the point of that?"

"Brother Kun, we have different ideas. I know selling powder can make money, but I don't want to touch that. I'm not good at other ways to make money quickly, so I'll just take it slow and steady."

"Are you serious?"

"Well, as long as I'm not dead, there will always be a day when I can make a fortune, right?"

Liang Kun stopped trying to persuade him. He couldn't understand Chen Xi's ideas. Like other bosses, his thinking patterns had become rigid, and it was difficult for him to accept new things that he had never seen before.

"Since you have thought it through, just go for it. If you need my support, just ask."

"Thank you, Brother Kun." Chen Xi smiled and said nothing else. This time he was not going to use knives and guns to grab the territory. He wanted to settle in the Sha Tin District in an open, reasonable and legal manner.

Let’s start with the property management company. First, use the polite approach. If you encounter those who refuse to accept the consequences, then use the violent approach.

In the following days, Chen Xi began to move towards the Sha Tin District, renting land to build a factory, handling a series of factory procedures, relocating the property management company, etc.

Not only Liang Kun, but other leaders of Hongxing were also stunned. They thought Dawn would take over the fat piece of meat of Yau Ma Tei in one fell swoop, but the result was like this?

Chapter 253 Ruan Mei

Chen Xi was not sure how long he would stay in this world. Seeing that 97 was about to come, he did not want to confront the Chinese government head-on, as he really could not afford to offend that government.

If he doesn't want to be liquidated by the Chinese government, then he should just be a good boy. Compared with the identity of a gangster boss, he would rather be an entrepreneur. The more workers who rely on him for jobs, the safer he will be.

Regardless of whether he can be whitewashed or not, he must have the attitude to whitewash himself. But in essence, his identity as a member of Hongxing cannot be changed, and there are many people who want him dead.

Chen Xi is well aware of the trick of having three burrows, and has prepared many safe houses outside. He does not need his subordinates to follow him when he travels. His main purpose is to prevent others from knowing where he is.

Who would have thought that Chen Xi, who was about to become one of the leaders of the Hongxing Gang, would live in a public housing estate in the Sha Tin area, and even then, it was rented.

Chen Xi's image and temperament are indeed not like those of a gangster, but more like an intellectual. His neighbors living in public housing could not guess his identity. To others, he told others that he was an accountant.

Luo Huiling and Ruan Mei both have a good impression of Chen Xi. It is great to have an educated neighbor as it can reduce many neighborhood disputes. They are afraid of encountering an unreasonable neighbor.

Chen Xi's gentle and refined image is extremely deceptive, and no one in the public housing estate can associate him with a member of a society.

Smelling the aroma coming from next door, Ruan Mei suddenly felt that her own food was not fragrant. It was okay before she made a comparison, but now when she smelled this smell and looked at the leftovers on the table, she could hardly eat it.

“Knock, knock!” There was a knock on the door, and Chen Xi’s voice came from outside: “Grandma Cai, A-Mei, are you home?”

"Coming~" Ruan Mei responded, walked over and opened the door, looking at Chen Xi outside in confusion. What was he doing?

"Amei, it's so nice to have you at home. I eat alone and want to eat everything. I accidentally made too much. I don't want to waste it. How about you and Granny Cai help me?"

Ruan Mei: “???”

What do you mean?

I understand every word you said, but I don’t understand how you put them together.

"Wait for me." After Chen Xi finished speaking, he went back to his room and soon came out again with a few plates in his hands, on which were the dishes he had cooked.

Ruan Mei understood now and became a little nervous: "Brother Xi, no need, my mother-in-law and I have almost finished eating."

"I haven't finished eating yet. I can't finish it all by myself. Do I have to throw away all these dishes?"

"That won't do!" Ruan Mei said reflexively, "We can't waste it. There are so many dishes. It would be a shame to waste them."

"Then I'll have to ask you and Grandma Cai to help me eat more." Chen Xi smiled and walked past Ruan Mei, then went in and put the plate on the table.

Ruan Mei stood there at a loss, wanting to stop him, but the other party moved too quickly, and by the time she came to her senses, he had already put it away.
