Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 565, Part 155: I Can't Stand in My Brother's Way (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
"Xi-zai, you take Xi-ren back to the antique shop first. I'll take the car behind and go to Wan Chai."

To ruin the event during the Chinese New Year is like inviting trouble for yourself!

Chi Mengli snorted coldly, waved her hand, and beckoned the van behind her to drive over. When the van pulled up in front of her, she opened the passenger door and got in.

"Sister Xiren, I'll take you home."

Xi-zai wanted to follow, but seeing that the van had already sped away, he could only ask Xi-ren to get in the van first, return to the Tuo Di Hong Sheng Mahjong House, and then blow the whistle to call for help.

Smoking is not allowed inside the church. Chi Mengli sat in the passenger seat of the van, took out a cigarette case, and lit a Double Happiness cigarette.

Who did it?

Who vandalized Ririfresh's flagship store No. 5?!
Black Tiger?
impossible!
Chi Mengli immediately rejected this answer, saying that this loser wouldn't dare to do such a thing.

Someone is fanning the flames!
Chi Mengli, who was smoking a cigarette, figured out the intricacies of the situation and burst out laughing.

It seems he's not the only player in this chaotic game!

The van drove for fifteen minutes and arrived at the Riri Fresh Wanchai No. 5 flagship store. As soon as the van stopped, Chi Mengli pushed open the door and jumped out.

In front of the Ri Ri Fresh Wanchai No. 5 flagship store, a cordon had been set up. Two military uniforms were taking statements from concerned citizens. When they saw Chi Meng-li lift the cordon and rush in, they quickly stopped her.

"Sir, this is the crime scene. Please do not cause any trouble. If you want to buy seafood, go somewhere else. We are not open today."

Junzhuang quickly put down his pen, walked up to Chi Mengli, and told him to go buy seafood elsewhere.

"Excuse me, officer! This is the boss of our Daily Fresh restaurant. He's just here to check things out. Please excuse me and do me a favor!"

When the manager of the No. 5 flagship store saw Chi Mengli arrive, he quickly put down his broom, ran out from the mess, greeted the soldiers, and took out two packs of cigarettes, stuffing them into their hands.

Seeing how cooperative the staff at Ri Ri Fresh were, the soldier didn't waste any more words, turned around, and continued taking statements from the enthusiastic citizens.

"Brother Sheng, this happened so suddenly! A dozen masked thugs rushed in, beating people and smashing goods! They even stole all the cash from the cash register!"

"After smashing everything, they all got into their cars and left, without giving me any time to call them."

The store manager's face was also bruised and purple, so he must have been hit a few times. He looked miserable as he spoke to Chi Mengli.

The store was a mess, with all the seafood spilled on the floor. The staff of RiRiXian were cleaning it up one by one.

"Everyone has had a fright today! Here's a red envelope of five hundred yuan for each of you big shots. Please go and have some calming tea."

Chi Mengli opened her wallet, pulled out all the large gold bulls inside, stuffed them into the shop manager's hand, and then said loudly, "Everyone, I've arranged a banquet at Fulimen. After you've cleaned up this trash, go and have a meal."

"After you finish eating, go to the clinic. I've already made arrangements. You can all get a checkup. If there's a problem, you'll be admitted to the hospital; if not, you can go home."

"Don't leave any seafood on the ground. Throw it all into the trash can. We don't care if someone picks it up, but contaminated seafood is not allowed to be sold again."

"After you finish eating and the inspection, those of you who are fine will have a holiday starting today. You were frightened, so you will have a holiday until the third day of the Lunar New Year. On the fourth day, you will all go back to work and receive red envelopes."

"From the fourth day of the Lunar New Year to the Lantern Festival, it's all double hourly pay!"

"We apologize for any discomfort caused!"

"Sorry! Sorry!"

Chi Mengli clasped her hands together, bowed twice to the employees of the Riri Fresh No. 5 flagship store, and then took the shovel and started helping with the work.

The henchmen standing at the gate also hurried in and began to help clean up the trash.

After the uniformed officers finished taking their statements, they left. Everyday Fresh was Handsome Sheng's business, and even the stray dogs on the street knew it. Since there were no deaths, it wasn't enough to warrant a serious crime report; it would only be transferred to the anti-triad unit.

The anti-triad unit in the Hong Kong Bay area didn't send out a single plainclothes officer; they only had uniformed officers help take statements and take photos. By the time the anti-triad unit actually handles the matter, who knows when it will be resolved.

Upon hearing that a business on his territory had been vandalized, especially one that was a lucrative source of income, Huang En quickly drove over. Nearly fifty years old, Huang En was heartbroken to see the Riri Fresh No. 5 flagship store smashed to pieces.

The No. 5 flagship store pays a fee every month and receives a 20% commission every month. The seafood platters and fruit platters sold at the entertainment venue in Wan Chai are all fresh daily.

Just from the dividends and commissions, there are thirty to forty thousand every month.

This kind of legal and compliant way of making money is something that any big shot in the underworld would like.

Huang En walked into the store and saw Liangzai Sheng cleaning up the high-end seafood on the ground with a shovel. He frowned, looked around, and seeing that there were no cops, said, "It wasn't those thugs from Wan Chai who did it."

“They were all unfamiliar faces. They were either drug addicts from Kowloon Walled City or residents of public housing estates in Yuen Long and the New Territories, or gangsters.”

"The plane was launched on my turf. Even if you're a gangster, according to the rules, you, Handsome Sheng, are a big fish in the sea. I have nothing to say."

"I'll take full responsibility for all the losses this time: renovations, compensation for lost inventory, and relocation expenses for the employees."

“Ah Sheng, your younger brother Black Tiger has fallen out with Ninth Sister from the Number Gang. If I’m not mistaken, there will definitely be more scenes like this in the future.” “Those bastards from the Number Gang who come here to cause trouble, I’ll settle accounts with them, but you’ll have to settle accounts with Black Tiger yourself!”

Huang En is still Huang En. Back then, the Wan Chai Killer King, he single-handedly took down six thugs from the Number Gang. When he spoke, he exuded domineering aura. After finishing his sentence, he extended his hand, ready to shake hands with the younger gangster in front of him.

Chi Mengli nodded without speaking, but handed the shovel in her hand to the henchman next to her, shook hands with him with her left hand, and squeezed Huang En's shoulder with her right.

His muscles are still very firm; it seems he's still got it.

After confirming Huang En's condition, Chi Mengli spoke up, saying, "My younger brother caused this trouble, so as the boss, I have to stand up and support him. We'll split it 50/50."

"Don't worry about the goods at the entertainment venue. I'll get them from other stores. I guarantee it won't cause any delays. Everyone's counting on this Lunar New Year's Eve to have a good year."

"Peace is paramount! Let's get rich together!"

Chi Mengli loosened her grip, taking half of the loss upon herself.

"Handsome guy wins, that's really impressive! He's a real pro! I think Ninth Sister has really messed up this time!"

"Ah Sheng, if my henchmen and cronies were half as sharp and intelligent as you, I could close my eyes right now and rest easy!"

Knowing when to advance and when to retreat, and daring to stand up for his younger brother, he's already 99.9% a true gangster.

Gangsters are all like this: they enjoy the good times while others take the blame, without exception.

“Ah Sheng, you are good to your younger brothers, but they think it’s only natural. They’re all grown up now and want to go out and take over the family business.”

"I just heard that Old Ghost Deng went to find Deng Qi. They are cousins, and although they are in two different gangs, they still share the same blood. As long as the price is right, there will be no problem."

"Black Tiger is from the Water Room, why would you let Wo Luen Shing's uncle stand up and set out tea to negotiate? Is there no one left in the Water Room?"

"Also, Ninth Miss is taking advantage of her father being Deng Qi, she's a crazy old woman who's ruined her brain. She's also taking advantage of Qi Weiwen's assassin gang, so she's reckless. Be careful, don't let someone plot against you!"

Since the Emperor had spoken so graciously, there was no need to continue. He coughed, then took his leave.

A seasoned veteran is indeed a seasoned veteran; with just a few words, he can sow discord. Impressive!

You can't find fault with what I said, and you can't get angry, because Huang En is telling the truth. If a hot-tempered thug heard Huang En's sarcastic remarks, he might actually go and cause trouble for Ninth Sister.

However, even if Chi Mengli wanted to back down now, his underlings wouldn't agree. When they went out to make money, they didn't rely on the reputation of the brothel, but on the name "Handsome Sheng".

If the pile of sturdy boys falls, they'll have to get soaked in the rain and fight for their own future.

We definitely have to fight, but we can't pick an unlucky guy to fight. We can only target Ninth Sister and make sure she submits to the Number Gang.

The henchmen standing next to Chi Mengli and the employees of Riri Fresh all subconsciously kept their distance from this big boss, because they had never seen anyone with a gloomy face, looking as if their father had died, yet still able to let out a pleasant smile.

Half an hour later, Spinach Dong and Jimi arrived at the Wan Chai Daily Fresh No. 5 flagship store.

By this time, the garbage had been cleaned up, and nearly a thousand kilograms of seafood had all been put into the garbage cans.

The two walked up to Chi Mengli, and Spinach Dong spoke first: "Big Mouth has been spreading rumors that Black Tiger did it!"

"Someone saw Ha Niu get into a van!"

"I've already sent Fire Dog and Fire Nan to scrape Haniu. If it really was this bastard who did it, I'll skin him alive and pull his tendons out!"

That big mouth is really big; this scoundrel is just spouting nonsense.

Xi Ren only went to see Hei A Hu at noon. Hei A Hu must be out of his mind, so he wouldn't make a move at that time.

Chi Mengli sighed, but did not object to Spinach going east to scrape the cow.

Ji Mi took out a cigarette case, handed it to the boss with both hands, and lit it for him. After lighting the cigarette, he said, "These bastards! They're going too far! Do they really think we're pushovers?!"

"Brother Sheng, last time you went to help the gang leader, Black Tiger was acting strangely. As the saying goes, you can guard against anything, but it's hard to guard against a thief within your own ranks!"

"Should we find someone to kill Black Tiger?"

As Jimi finished speaking, he quietly gestured with his hand across his neck.

Some things are like a thorn stuck in your heart; if you don't sort them out, you won't have peace day or night.

Ji Mi now dislikes Hei A Hu and wants to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Currently, the only top leaders in the Shui Fong Yau Ma Tei branch are myself and Black Tiger. If Black Tiger falls, I can take over the position.

Those brothers who stand in my way deserve to die!
