Chapter 220 What to do when you have money
At four o'clock in the morning, Lin Shihua and Lin Shixia, two super veterans of Xinji, had already woken up early.

All night long, one question lingered in their minds:
Who framed Xinji?

The answer is anyone.

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it, and when the drum breaks, everyone beats it.

The conflict between Xinji and Zhai Yuan and Ye Zhiming over a gambling ship frequently appeared in newspapers, which was definitely not a good thing for a community.

The society makes money in a low-key manner and hides its interests from the public, and it can even be said that it will die in the light.

Competitors such as Liansheng and Number Gang have been eyeing the situation covetously for a long time, and there is every reason to believe that it was they who sent people to set up the 1024 Theater and deliberately divert trouble.

Lin Shixia sat on the sofa, biting a cigarette and said, "I asked He Liansheng's boss Fatty Deng, and he said he didn't do it."

Lin Shihua laughed and said, "The person in charge said it's none of their business if the number is just a bunch of words. They won't admit it even if they did it!"

Lin Shixia licked his lips. "It's a turbulent time. I just called Superintendent Li. He has confirmed that the first target of this investigation is Xinji. He asked us to arrange a lawyer first, and he will send someone to pick us up at dawn to go to the police station to record our statements."

Lin Shihua hummed, sighed and said, "If we can't find evidence, the case will end up in vain. But the police have to show their achievements to the outside world, so our business will inevitably close again. Last year, the society's account revenue was 120 million, but this year it may not even be 100 million. Fortunately, the harvest in the Golden Triangle is good this year, and we can recover the losses after opening up sales channels in North America."

Lin Shixia suddenly said, "We should let Xu Jiayan take the lead. Huang Jun, a person with an outsider surname, has been sitting in the leading position. If it gets out, people will laugh at him. In recent months, many businesses in the Netherlands have been suspended because people only recognize the Xu family's flag. Who knows him, Axe Jun?"

Xin Kee also has branches overseas, but the gangsters never care about the spirit of contract. After going overseas and seeing the world, they don't take Xin Kee in Hong Kong seriously. In the past, there was the Xu family, which had been a famous brand for decades, but now the leader has changed to Huang Jun. The people in the overseas branches have become more and more lax. The accounts can still be deposited into the gang's account as usual every month, but the business partners are not limited to Hong Kong.

Lin Shihua took off his reading glasses hanging around his neck and rubbed his eyes. "Xu Jiayan was involved in the Dragon Head case and used firearms. The lawyer said that he will be sentenced to at least five years in prison this time. Even if he wins the appeal, he will not be released until next year."

Lin Shixia thought for a moment and asked, "The second oldest, Jiarong, is in real estate and has long said he won't get involved in society affairs. What about the fourth oldest, Jiabo?"

"Xu Jiabo is a stubborn person. When Su Long was still around, the two of them were enemies. They also didn't get along with the other uncles in the society. Being a leader doesn't have to have prestige or ability, but if you don't know how to respect your teachers, you'll be in trouble. Huang Jun is smarter than him in this regard. Even if he has a falling out with the uncles, he only picks on the weak ones like the North Point prawns. He is always respectful to us old guys and tries every way to give money to please us... It's a pity that his last name is not Xu."

Lin Shihua took a sip from his teacup and continued, "In fact, I think Xu Jiasheng who came back from Taiwan is pretty good. It's just that he just arrived and doesn't understand the situation in Hong Kong. He has been in Albania for so long, maybe we can bring him back to train him? If he can replace Huang Jun and take the position of the third evil, Xu Jiayan won't have to rush to file an appeal."

Lin Shixia nodded in understanding: "After recording the confession at dawn, I will send someone to Albania... By the way, where is Xu Jiaqiang who came back from Taiwan with Xu Jiasheng?"

Lin Shihua spat out a mouthful of tea leaves, seeming too lazy to comment and sneered through his nose.

"Find some good lawyers for Huang Jun and have him cooperate with the police investigation. For this kind of criminal damage case, he can be detained for a maximum of 48 hours. After he is released, let him get a boat and go out to sea..."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Before Uncle Lin could speak, the door opened from the outside.

Lin Shixia narrowed his eyes and saw clearly the figure standing at the door. It was the younger brother who was assigned to keep watch downstairs.

He frowned and asked, "Did the police station send a car to pick us up?"

The young man at the door said nothing, and the next second he suddenly fell straight down and fell heavily to the ground.

In the living room downstairs, there were also several corpses lying in a pool of blood.

Lin Shihua and Lin Shixia's pupils shrank, and they could see clearly that the fallen brother had a military knife stuck in the back, and it was obvious that he had died.

Outside the door, several thin men walked in.

The leading man stepped on the corpse on the ground, leaned over, pulled out his saber, and smiled at the two frightened old men sitting on the sofa.

“Chào anh (Hello)”

…………

"How come you suddenly figured out so many things?"

In the hospital ward, Ye Zhiming set up a table, spread out the ginseng, abalone, shark's fin and bird's nest that he had brought with him, and asked Zhai Yuan who was sitting opposite him with a smile.

Zhai Yuan sighed and said, "I'm tired and don't want to play anymore. I'll just flip the table once in a while."

Ye Zhiming nodded in agreement and said, "We should have done this a long time ago."

A few hours ago, he received a call from Zhai Yuan on the gambling boat and immediately took a few people ashore on a speedboat.

When I arrived at the ward, I was alone.

Ye Zhiming said: "You recommended me that handsome guy named Guizai Tian. He is still hesitant now, but he should make a decision when he receives the news in the morning."

Zhai Yuan nodded, thinking that Xu Jiaqiang was also like this, wanting both, how could such a good thing happen?
Why don't I take the initiative this time and help you make the choice.

He asked Ye Zhiming, "How are your arrangements on the ship?"

Ye Zhiming smiled and said, "The families of the six senior police officers are having a great time on the boat. They each won at least $1 million tonight. Does the ICAC have any regulations prohibiting the families of civil servants from gambling?"

Zhai Yuan smiled and said, "There will still be risks. I will set up a scholarship fund overseas later. Next time I encounter this kind of thing, I will give scholarships to their children."

Ye Zhiming gave him a thumbs up: "Eye-catching."

Then he continued, "The gambling boat has been running for such a long time, but I haven't seen you, the major shareholder, go up to play a few hands. When will you come to give us guidance on the work?"

Zhai Yuan smiled and said, "I only do this business but never touch it. It can make people make money, but it's not good for the brain."

Ye Zhiming rolled his eyes and cursed, "It's rare that you took the initiative this time. I really appreciate it. I didn't plan to kidnap my sister to the mainland with you. I heard that you stole the limelight in the mainland this time?"

Zhai Yuan smiled and said, "I was a little bit too much of a show-off. My compatriots in the mainland were very enthusiastic and sent me many letters to ask about my well-being. Later, there were too many letters to store, so I bought a few new houses there to store them."

The last person to receive this kind of treatment was Zhang Mingmin. After singing "My Chinese Heart", he received three letters from fans on the same day.

Zhai Yuan received more and more letters, and he now had more legitimate reasons to invest in buying real estate in the mainland.

The two ate and talked, and after about ten minutes, when it was just getting light outside, Ye Zhiming's phone rang. Ye Zhiming answered the phone, but he didn't say a word, just a slight "hmm".

After hanging up the phone, he raised an eyebrow at Zhai Yuan and said, "It's done. I won't stay with you any longer. Let's go first."

…………

A cool breeze blew in through the window, blowing away the strong smell of blood in the room.

In the living room on the second floor, the teapot on the table was still steaming.

Lin Shihua and Lin Shixia, two super veterans of Xinji, were already leaning straight on the sofa, their dilated pupils filled with resentment.

Deep red blood seeped through the sofa and dripped onto the floor.

There was still shock and anger on Lin Shixia's face, and he held the gun tightly in his hand, but he didn't fire a single bullet. The arm holding the gun was nailed to the back of the sofa by a bayonet, and the fatal wound was a hole at the position of the heart.

There was a hole in Lin Shihua's neck, and blood spurted onto the floor half a meter away, which was shocking.

The alarm sounded outside the window.

…………

As soon as the day broke, the investigation into the case of 1024 being hit by a gate and splashed with oil was officially launched.

The entire Xin Ji, from the gang boss to the street parking attendant, were all taken back to the police station for questioning.

The news of the murder of two uncles from the society, Lin Shihua and Lin Shixia, came out at the same time, shocking the entire underworld.

The Xu family rules the world and the Lin family fights. As the number one contributor, founding marshal, and super veteran of Xinji, after the previous leader Xu Qian died of illness, the Lin brothers went against all odds and assisted the new leader to take office. During the peak of their power, the society was almost entirely composed of their people. They were not the leaders but better than them.

How could such a person be beheaded at home?
So in addition to the people from Xinji who were arrested, big bosses from groups like Liansheng and Haohaobang were also invited to the police station to assist in the investigation.

Ye Zhiming and Zhai Yuan were also suspects of the police, after all, their previous gambling boat scandal had been reported in the newspapers.

But Zhai Yuan is recovering in the hospital.

Ye Zhiming had testimony from everyone on the gambling ship that he was playing cards with the rich guy last night and never left.

In the police station.

The arrogant Huang Jun was stunned when he learned from the police that Lin Shihua and Lin Shixia had been murdered.

Although these two old guys treat themselves as puppets, they are indeed capable. Before they die, will those bosses still hand over their business to Xinji? Will the overseas gangs be willing to pay on time? What if they completely fall out with Liansheng and the Number Gang and cross the line?
A series of questions buzzed in Huang Jun's mind.

The lawyer next to him reminded him, "Brother Jun, don't think too much about it. The most urgent thing is to deal with these policemen and let them release you as soon as possible to stabilize the situation."

at the same time.

Gui Zai Tian has already left the gambling boat and headed straight to the Central Police Headquarters with a few of his confidants.

When he arrived at the front desk, Gui Zai Tian said to the police officer on duty, "I want to see O."

…………

In just one day, first Lin Shihua and Lin Shixia were killed, and then Gui Zai Tian, a capable subordinate of Huang Jun, turned into a tainted witness, accusing his boss of being the leader of Xinji and being suspected of multiple murders.

The underworld hasn't been so chaotic in many years.

Only then did Xu Jiaqiang understand what Zhai Yuan meant by "helping you to the top".

"I deeply sympathize with the murder of your two uncles in the Lin family. Nowadays, those who come out to make trouble have no sense of loyalty. A little brother actually accused his own boss. This is really the decline of morals."

Zhai Yuan sat back on the bed, glanced at Xu Jiaqiang who was standing timidly in front of his bed, and asked, "I read the Hong Kong government's report. Hong Kong now has a population of more than five million, and triad members account for more than 200,000 of them. Among them, nearly 100,000 have a Xinji background?"

Xu Jiaqiang said yes with a complicated expression.

The 100,000 people are not soldiers, but registered members, ranging from construction teams to parking attendants. These people have the identity of a community and stick together, so they can gain more benefits whether they are looking for a job or asking for salary.

But it is also equivalent to giving up one's own future. A record will be made in one's file that one has been a gangster all his life. There is no way he can take the civil service exam, and it is even difficult for him to apply for a clerk position in a regular company (the Hong Kong government only began to implement the "Washing Triad Membership" program in 1988).

Zhai Yuan sighed and said, "If Xinji disbands this time, the employment problem of these 100,000 people will be very serious! I can't sleep well thinking about this matter from last night until now. I am worried, so someone must stand up and carry the banner of Xinji."

Chen Lan forced a smile and said, "Mr. Zhai, I think Fourth Brother Xu Jiabo is very suitable for this position. Xu Jiasheng is not bad either. Besides, in addition to the Xu family, Xinji also has several good elders..."

"Women shouldn't interrupt men when they're talking." Zhai Yuan interrupted her and turned to ask Xu Jiaqiang: "Brother Qiang, what do you think?"

Xu Jiaqiang swallowed.

Dragon head! The place that I never dared to think about before now seems to be within reach.

He took a deep breath, ignoring Chen Lan's eyes that tried to stop him, and said to Zhai Yuan in a deep voice, "Mr. Zhai, I want to try it."

Zhai Yuan pretended to be surprised and said, "Three evil positions! The one who sits at the office is the office, the one who sits at the office on 1, 3 and 5, and the one who sits at the funeral home on 2, 4 and 6. Think about it carefully."

Xu Jiaqiang said, "I will go to the prison to see my boss Xu Jiayan later. The situation is so chaotic now. If Xinji replaces another outsider with a leader, it will be completely over. I think he will support me."

Zhai Yuan said, "Okay, as long as you can handle it and help these 100,000 people find employment, I can give you some money every month to support you and take care of those uncles and lackeys."

Seeing Xu Jiaqiang's happy expression, he continued, "But it's not suitable for you to stay at Sanhe Film Company. Let Sister Lan do it alone. The shares will also be redistributed when the time comes."

Xu Jiaqiang said, "I understand."

Zhai Yuan looked at him with a smile: "You are someone I can trust. Xinji will always belong to your surname Xu, and harmony is the most important thing between us. Well, that's all I have to say. Go back and wait for my notice. By the way, go see Xu Jiayan. Sister Lan and I will talk about the equity distribution of Sanhe."
