Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 492, Section 73: The Last Chance (Good Luck on the College Entrance Exam)
(Wishing all the top students the best of luck in achieving the highest scores in the National College Entrance Examination today!)

(Wishing all the high achievers taking the college entrance examination, whether it be themselves or their children and relatives, that they may all pass with flying colors, achieve great success, and be blessed with a prosperous future.)
(As the saying goes, peach blossoms pierce through three layers of waves, osmanthus blossoms reach the highest branch, the east wind blows and the candidate ascends to the capital, their name listed on the golden list at the heavenly gate.)
Da Dong Jiu, whose real name is Mo Shi Jiu, is the nephew (or niece) of the three Shar Pei brothers, and also their disciple.

Currently, among all members of the East Union Society, only Da Dong Jiu is wholeheartedly devoted to the society. Of course, it's not that Da Dong Jiu is great, but rather that the position of the East Union Society's leader will belong to Da Dong Jiu in the future.

The nine generals of the Eastern Alliance are all well aware of the situation, so these people only hand over tens of thousands of dollars a week, each harboring their own wicked intentions.

The scholar-ghost was happy to see this happen. He guarded the East Union's source of wealth, lining his own pockets with money, planning to win more games and rake in more silver, turning the East Union into an empty shell before handing it over to Da Dong Jiu.

And the head of the East Union Society under East Ninth Road is this Tiger Cub.

Tiger Boy followed the same path as Tai Tung Kok, teaming up with Sha Zhong from the Hunan gang in mainland China to organize concerts for Hong Kong stars in mainland China. One concert after another made the two guys a fortune.

“I’ve always said that Yau Ma Tei is my territory, but Tung Kau didn’t believe me, so I said he had two holes under his eyebrows. But now it seems that Tung Kau, this bastard, hasn’t even grown any holes.”

"Take a look down!"

Chi Mengli put her arm around Tiger Boy's shoulder and walked to the windowsill, letting Tiger Boy look down.

Tiger Boy had a bad feeling, but he still glanced downstairs and saw that the whole street was full of brothel henchmen.

"Brother Sheng, you've really messed things up. This whole street is Donglian Society territory. Your gang is coming here to cause trouble. Are you trying to pull off something big?!"

Hundreds of henchmen from the water houses stood on the street chatting, armed with weapons. Even if someone in military uniform saw them, they would act as if nothing had happened. If they were seasoned veterans, they would even write "nothing happened" in their notebooks.

Tiger Cub felt a chill run down his spine, but in the underworld, appearance matters. If he backed down now, there would be no place for him in the Hong Kong underworld.

At this point, even if you're so scared by Handsome Sheng that your legs are shaking, you still have to shout back loudly.

"You bastards! You're talking to me like that? What's your seniority?!"

"Stop your babbling!"

Chi Mengli sneered, walked up to Hua Langgui who hadn't said a word, sat down on the table, stepped on Hua Langgui's thigh, wiped the soles of her shoes clean, and said, "Your ace lost."

"According to the agreement, Toastmasters will switch sides and follow me, while you will end up in a cement coffin."

"As for those old abalones you're raising, I'll definitely keep an eye on them for you. If your brother Dong Jiu comes back and can't come up with something interesting, you'll definitely suffer a terrible fate."

"Where's Jimmy? He's getting old, and that rascal's gotten slower!"

Chi Mengli noticed the bulge at Hua Langgui's waist and gave Xizai a look.

Xizai immediately went around behind Hualanggui, took out the short dog that Hualanggui had tucked into his waistband, and handed it to Chi Mengli.

Chi Mengli skillfully opened the magazine, emptied the barrel, threw the Black Star pistol onto the table, and flicked the bullets from the magazine one by one into Hua Langgui's face.

"Hua Langgui, you really are a stinky bastard. Even when you're out chatting, you bring a short dog along. Are you out of your mind? This is just giving me leverage! I could kill you this time, both morally and legally!"

"Little Tiger, don't you think so?"

Chi Mengli tossed the magazine to Tiger Boy, glanced at the time, and continued, "I'm going to watch the game tonight. It's almost time. Ji Mizi is here. If you, the big boss, don't step up, I'll help him out."

Chi Mengli had no intention of wasting his precious time on these few stinky girls. He stood up, walked in front of Jasmine, reached out and pinched the face of this ghost woman with whom he had a fleeting affair. He looked her over and found no problem.

Tiger Cub glanced at his henchmen behind him, gave them a signal, and instructed them to inform their boss of the current situation and to blow the whistle to call for reinforcements.

Judging from today's situation, they're definitely going to show off their horses; they might even have to put on a big show or something.

If the East Union Society can't hold out immediately, it's possible that Handsome Sheng might take things too far and clear out the venue, planting a flag on the turf.

"dong dong dong"

A long series of footsteps came from the stairs. Jimmy, dressed in a leather jacket, came up the stairs, followed by his henchmen carrying a burlap sack, and entered the second floor of the teahouse.

"Brother Sheng!"

Jimmy greeted them and stood behind Chi Mengli. He snapped his fingers and told his younger brother, McCaw, to take the poop out of the bag.

McCaw pulled a butterfly knife from his pocket, a sinister smile spreading across his face. He patted the sack, located the spot, and then plunged it in with all his might.

"Awooo..."

The sack inside shook violently, emitting inhuman howls.

McCaw smiled smugly, then pulled out the butterfly knife, but without pulling it away from the sack, he slashed upwards and cut the sack open.

Inside the sack was a familiar face to Hua Langgui. Bai She, who should have been enjoying the beautiful women at the Zhixin Bar, was coughing up blood, her eyes pleading, hoping that her good brother Hua Langgui could save her. Unexpectedly, this bastard also appeared in this chaotic situation.

"Alright! Everyone's here now!"

"What is Dong Jiu Ge still hiding from?!"

Seeing that the white snake had been brought to justice, Chi Mengli coughed and told Tiger Cub to call the person out, as he was in a hurry.

Tiger Cub was also amazed by the efficiency of the water room. In less than an hour, they had exposed the White Snake who was causing trouble behind the scenes.

White Snake is a loan shark, a high-ranking member of the same gang, and a big shot in the underworld. Loan sharks are most afraid of gangsters, South Asian gangsters, and ruthless lone wolves.

She must have had plenty of henchmen around her, but it's unbelievable that Chi Mengli could scrape out the white snake with just one order!
Tiger Cub doesn't care whether White Snake lives or dies, but he must support Flower Wolf to the end and not let Handsome Sheng take people away.

"Brother Sheng, please be magnanimous and wait a moment longer. My boss will be out soon."

Tiger Boy could only endure it, cursing inwardly at his henchmen for not arriving sooner.

"Brother Sheng, what are you doing! I'll go get you an apology gift. You can't rush things!"

Da Dongjiu returned carrying a bag, walked up to Chi Mengli with a smile, threw the bag on the table, looked at Hua Langgui, and said, "Agui, hand over the written agreement, and we'll let this matter drop."

Paying back debts is a matter of course!

Even if Hua Langgui had eight more lives, he wouldn't be able to say those words now. After all, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. After weighing the pros and cons, he took out Jasmine's loan agreement and placed it on the table.

This is their last act of defiance!

Xi Ren chuckled, picked up the loan documents on the table, read them carefully, and then walked up to Bai She, asking, "Is this the only one?" Bai She, whose eyes were already swollen, struggled to move her head, but her eyes were too swollen to open, and she was indeed somewhat powerless.

McCaw, who was standing to the side, immediately took action and used his hands to pry open the white snake's already bruised eyelids, so that the bastard could have a good look at it.

"Aaaaaaaah..."

Forced to open her eyes, the white snake saw the document and kept begging for mercy, "Big sister, please spare me. There's only this one copy, so let's just sign this one agreement."

"Brother Sheng! Master Sheng! Great Father! I only signed this one agreement. I don't know if Hua Langgui signed any other agreements... Great Father, please let me go!"

The white snake, whose whole body ached, kept begging for mercy, hoping that Handsome Sheng would let her go.

McCaw felt the white snake was being a bit noisy, so he released the snake's eyelids, wiped it on the scumbag's body, then forcefully pulled the snake's ear and shouted, "Don't disturb the boss, shut up!"

Chi Mengli didn't even glance at the white snake lying on the ground like a dead dog, and said to Jasmine, "Is this the only serving?"

Jasmine looked at the man she had a brief affair with and didn't know what to say. She could only nod to indicate that this was the only one available.

"Jimi, send someone to take Miss Jasmine to the Madus Hotel and find two of your cousins, Mimi, to keep her company."

Since only one document has been signed, Jasmine doesn't need to stay here. This ghost woman has a special identity; she's a needle just like herself, and she has to do things behind this ghost woman's back.

"Brother Sheng, why don't I go keep Miss Jasmine company?"

Xiren volunteered to go and keep Jasmine company.

Jasmine is shrewd and calculating, but she's no match for the old fox, Xiren. Whether you're a man or a woman, you learn knowledge before you turn eighteen, but after eighteen, you live by experience.

Jasmine is not experienced enough and lacks knowledge to face Xiren, so she shouldn't throw her life away.

"I bought a bag of popcorn and two bottles of beer. Now that you're gone, who will keep me company?"

"Jimi, get to work!"

After giving her instructions, Chi Mengli ignored Xiren and walked up to Da Dongjiu, saying with a smile, "Brother Dongjiu, we need to talk about the rest of the matter."

"If this bag of banknotes were a Taurus, you could empty your entire savings for your funeral and still not fill it."

"Just say what you have to say!"

Da Dong Jiu smiled and said, "Brother Sheng, you are truly a genius. I, Old Scholar Ghost, have already spoken with Uncle Jin. Since it's a misunderstanding and A Gui was in the wrong first, we'll offer 300,000 and beg Brother Sheng to be lenient."

"These days, big bullheads and golden bullheads are troublesome commodities, while red snapper and blue crabs are popular commodities that everyone likes."

"All the numbers you have are attributed to my Da Dong Jiu."

"Brother Sheng, the Dragon Palace Nightclub is thriving. Everyone's in the same boat, so please try not to get angry. Just like erasing chalk marks, wipe away all the unpleasantness of tonight."

The leaders of the two gangs had finished their discussion. No matter how arrogant and domineering Handsome Sheng was, he couldn't continue. Big East Nine had calculated this, which is why he paid out 300,000 in "tea money" to get rid of Handsome Sheng.

Three hundred thousand!
Tai Tung Kowloon is really making a fortune lately!

Chi Mengli chuckled, picked up the bag from the table, unzipped it, roughly counted the banknotes inside, and finding the amount correct, began to divide them. He first counted out 30,000 yuan and threw it at the white snake's head: "Damn it!"

"You stinking bastard, you don't even know your place as a loan shark, you dare to cause trouble for anyone."

"The accounts are settled! If you ever show your face near Jasmine again, I'll break your legs and throw you into the dog farm as fodder."

"Throw him out of here and notify the Tong clan to come and arrest him."

"I'll attack your mother!"

Jimmy waved to McCaw, signaling his younger brother to carry the man away.

When Lao Ding gave the order, McCaw certainly didn't dare to disobey. He picked up the 30,000 dollars on the ground, stuffed it into White Snake's clothes, and ordered his henchmen to drag him out of the teahouse by his limbs.

Chi Mengli then pointed out another 100,000 yuan and tossed it to Ji Mi: "The brothers haven't had any late-night snacks yet. It's cold, let's go eat Chongqing hot pot. Order a couple more plates of meat so the brothers can warm up."

"Distribute the remaining amount as overtime pay for the brothers."

Ji Mi didn't stand on ceremony. He stuffed the 100,000 yuan into his pocket. Luckily, it was a bundle of banknotes, otherwise his pocket really wouldn't have been able to fit it.

"Brother Dong Jiu, you have ten minutes left. If I don't hear Lao Ding's voice, I guarantee I'll send Brother Hua Lang Gui to the underworld. Brother Gui's face is very handsome, and he'll definitely sell more salted duck eggs."

"The female ghosts will definitely patronize your business, Brother Gui!"

Chi Mengli gave Da Dongjiu an ultimatum. Giving this favor to Da Dongjiu would be like casting pearls before swine. Don't be fooled by their current good relationship, where they can sit together and discuss business. When things turn sour, they'll be having a great time.

But it's different if you do favors to Shen Xian Jin. This old scoundrel Shen Xian Jin will have to stay in his position for at least six more years. If Shen Xian Jin doesn't cause trouble for us during these six years, the development of the Yau Ma Tei branch will be limitless.

Da Dongjiu looked terrible. He felt like he'd been tricked by Liangzai Sheng, but there was nothing he could do but call his good brothers.

In the world of gangsters, power and influence are paramount.

Tai Tung Kok established itself in Hung Hom by relying on the Twelve Friends of Kwun Hung, twelve major triad groups that came together to make money and do business.

Among the twelve friends of Quan Xiong, only a few have real power and influence. The top-ranked ones are Gao Lao Fa from Shui Fang, Big B (the actor) from the Chao Zi Tou (a nickname), and Guang Rong Ge.

This is imitating the Twelve Beauties and Twelve Golden Dragons of yesteryear, all methods that Qi Weiwen didn't want to use.

Neither Glorious Brother nor Big B Brother could defeat Handsome Boy; they couldn't suppress him even if they tried.

The favor I did for the scholar ghost has already been used up, and besides, the scholar ghost wouldn't be willing to call the immortal brocade again, since being humbled once a night is enough.

But Handsome Sheng has already said that he will only have ten minutes and will only listen to the boss.

The best course of action now is to find Gao Laofa, one of the twelve friends of Quanxiong, and have him call Shenxianjin to try and talk to Liangzaisheng.

Da Dong Jiu didn't hesitate and called Gao Lao Fa's place directly. But when he learned that Gao Lao Fa was accompanying his uncle, Shen Xian Jin, to watch a play, he quickly called Sheng Ping Theater.
