Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 507, Section 97: Teaching the Younger Brothers the Rules

"Brother Sheng!"

Ah Cong walked up to Chi Mengli and greeted her coldly.

"work!"

Chi Mengli took the cigarette out of her mouth, threw it on the ground, stomped it out with her heel, and told Acong to lead the way.

Ah Cong glanced at Xi Ren and saw that she still had a smile on her face, so he felt relieved and led the way forward. After going through the alley and turning several times, they finally arrived at an old apartment building.

The building is quite old, and the entrance is dilapidated. A South Asian man was sitting at the front desk. When he saw someone arrive, he quickly stood up and said in a strange Cantonese accent, "It's been under repair all day, but the electricity still hasn't come back on. The electric fan isn't working, and it's so hot!"

Ah Cong didn't say anything, but he understood. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a box of Marlboro Red, and threw it at the face of the South Asian security guard.

The South Asian boy caught the red cigarette with both hands, made an OK sign, and walked into the alley without looking back to relieve himself.

Seeing that the people in the way had moved aside, Ah Cong gestured and whispered, "Sixth floor!" before leading the way upstairs.

Chi Mengli looked around and, seeing that no one was around, quickly followed A Cong upstairs.

The two men went upstairs, but Xiren didn't follow. Instead, she sat on the South Asian boy's chair, crossed her snow-white legs, took out her cigarette case, and put a Sobranie menthol cigarette in her mouth. She smoked while keeping watch.

Ah Cong and Chi Mengli rushed up to the sixth floor in one breath. Ah Cong's henchmen, who were squatting on the stair landing smoking, all stood up and hurriedly threw the cigarette butts out of their mouths onto the ground.

"Victory..."

"Shut up! Get to work!"

Chi Mengli waved his hand, telling his henchmen to shut up. There were countless eyes watching them from inside the building. Revealing their underworld reputations here was no different from turning themselves in to the police.

The henchmen all wisely shut up. Ah Cong pointed to the door on the sixth floor and told the henchmen to do their thing.

A well-mannered-looking henchman stepped forward, took out a black box from his pocket, pulled out two thin wires from inside, inserted them into the keyhole, and rattled the lock.

"Click..."

The spring made a crisp sound, and the security door opened a crack. A rotten smell wafted out from the crack, causing Wenque, who had opened the door, to back away and cough incessantly.

Chi Mengli took out a silk handkerchief, covered her mouth and nose, took a step back, and looked warily at the open security door.

Wenque retreated in a panic, making way for the door. Ah Cong's henchmen looked at each other, then two of them stepped forward, mustered their courage, and encouraged each other as they walked into the room.

Ah Cong also wanted to rush in, but Chi Mengli immediately pressed Ah Cong's shoulder down, telling him not to rush and to wait for news.

Five minutes later, the two henchmen came out excitedly, their pockets bulging, looking like they had struck it rich.

Chi Mengli smiled knowingly, pressed hard on Acong's shoulder to suppress his raging temper, and led the way into the room.

Upon receiving the instructions, Ah Cong remained silent and followed Chi Mengli into the room. The henchmen behind him also noticed something amiss and were all overjoyed, knowing they were about to make a fortune.

Chi Mengli covered her mouth and nose as she looked around the room. The source of the rotten smell was the apples on the coffee table; these three apples were completely rotten.

It takes about three weeks for a fresh apple to go from spoiling to rotting, so it seems this room hasn't been visited in a long time.

"Close the door!" Chi Mengli instructed Acong. A henchman's henchman, not her own, could easily cause her to lose face if she spoke carelessly.

Ah Cong didn't utter a word, nor did he give any orders to his henchmen. Instead, he went forward himself, closed the door tightly, and stood guard at the entrance.

Chi Mengli looked at the two henchmen who were standing at the front and had entered the room first. He smiled slightly, and like a ghost, he quickly took a step forward and punched the laughing henchman in the stomach. Then he delivered a knee strike to the henchman's forehead.

The henchmen were stunned, not knowing what Brother Sheng was going to do, and they were all too scared to move.

The henchman who was beaten first bent over to vomit, but before the liquid in his esophagus could be expelled, he was kneed, his face covered in bruises. He cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

After taking down one of them, Chi Mengli looked at the other henchman with a hostile expression.

When the scoundrel saw Chi Mengli looking at him with a serious expression, his legs went weak, and he knelt down with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly.

“You are both Ah Chung’s younger brothers. According to the rules of the underworld, I shouldn’t punish you two. But Ah Chung is the head of Shui Fong and also the head of the Yau Ma Tei branch. You are the younger brothers of Shui Fong and Yau Ma Tei branch.”

"I'm Handsome Sheng, the leader of the Yau Ma Tei branch of the Shui Fong gang. I have the authority to manage any member of the Yau Ma Tei gang, including those who are 'blue lanterns'!"

"If you're short of money, you can talk to the big boss, but you can't take it yourself."

"If everyone takes it all for themselves, what's the point of paying respects to the big shots?"

Chi Mengli took out a cigarette case, put a Double Happiness cigarette in his mouth, lit it with a lighter, and told the terrified henchmen in front of him why he was going to take action.

The scoundrel who had been kowtowing repeatedly suddenly realized what was happening. He pulled out a stack of bundled banknotes from his pocket, placed them all on the ground, and quickly kowtowed twice to Chi Mengli.

Then, out of a sense of loyalty, he took all the money from the unconscious idiot and put it into the pile of money.

“Ah Cong, these are all your younger brothers. They call you boss, so you’re in charge.”

Chi Mengli was not going to let it go so easily. She called Acong over and, in front of all the brothers present, carried out the family discipline.

This is Professor A's cash cow. There are at least tens of millions of dollars in cash here. The gangsters could fight amongst themselves over a few hundred thousand dollars. Now that there are tens of millions, they might turn against him.

Punishing two unruly thugs now will instill fear in the other henchmen, preventing them from making any rash moves and saving a lot of trouble.

Ah Cong, who was standing at the door, was no fool. He understood what Sheng Ge had done in an instant. He walked up to the kneeling Xi Lao and, without hesitation, quickly drew his knife, leaving several three-inch-deep scars on the face and body of the kneeling Xi Lao.

His moves were swift and decisive, drawing blood cleanly and efficiently; he truly lived up to the reputation of being a master trained by the Water Room Punishment Hall.

Chi Mengli believed he could kill Acong within three moves, but he wasn't sure how big of a scar Acong would leave on him within those three moves.

"Find something to bandage them up!"

Ah Cong coldly ordered his men to give the two punished brothers a simple bandage.

"Wait a moment!"

Slowly bending down, Chi Mengli took all the banknotes in his hand, counted them, and found that the two bastards had only taken a little over 200,000. He snorted disdainfully and stuffed the banknotes into the pockets of the unconscious henchman.

"These are the rules given by the boss. If something goes wrong, the boss will cover for you. I'll only teach you the rules once. If you break them again, I'll have to use the rod!"
