Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

Chapter 162 The Ding Family's Scheme
The sun slowly sets, and the city lights begin to come on.

At this time, the Dongfeng Express store was finally much more relaxed than during the day, while Portland Street's nightlife began to flourish.

Ye Dongsheng was checking the transportation situation between Hong Kong Island and Chaoshan area in the store when he suddenly heard a commotion outside. He took Gao Jin out and saw two groups of people confronting each other on the roadside not far away.

One group was Tongyitang, while the other group was led by the Ding family's three crabs!
Tony and his men blocked the three Ding family crabs, frowning as he asked, "Ding Xiaoxie, do you dare to cause trouble here?"

Ding Xiaoxie waved his hand, and two men carried Fang Zhanbo, whose face was bruised and swollen, up.

"I don't want to cause trouble, I just want to find my brother!"

"Looking for your brother? Ha! Hong Kong Island is so big, you can look anywhere, but your brother isn't here!"

Ding Xiaoxie's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Tony: "Don't play dumb. Only your Tongyitang and that guy surnamed Fang were involved in what happened that day!"

Tony scoffed, "So what if you are? The facts are crystal clear. Your brother kidnapped someone, and then you got kidnapped yourself. Instead of obediently paying the ransom to rescue him, you're trying to blame it on my Tongyi Hall?!"

Mentioning this made Ding Xiaoxie even angrier. It wasn't that he didn't pay the ransom; he paid a full 1000 million, and then completely disappeared afterward!
At first, Ding Xiaoxie still held onto hope, thinking that Ding Yixie might have been taken to a remote suburb and released but didn't have time to go home.

But as the days went by without any news, Ding Xiaoxie's hopes grew increasingly faint.

One possibility he didn't want to face was becoming increasingly likely: the robbers had broken their promise and killed the hostage after taking the money!

But how could I possibly get him to accept that?
He had to seize the last possibility and hope to get some different information from Fang Zhanbo and Tongyitang, such as whether they might have colluded to set a trap for the Ding family.
"Tony, my brother's fate is unknown, and you all surnamed Fang are involved. You must give me an explanation!"

"Give me an explanation, my ass! Damn it, who hasn't had someone die in their family when they're in this business? You think I have to explain your brother's death? What about the deaths of Hung Hing and Tung Sing members tomorrow? Do you expect me to explain that too?! Who the hell do you think you are?!"

As he spoke, Tony spat on the ground.

The atmosphere between the two sides was already tense, and it looked like they were about to fight.

At this moment, a dark figure darted out and kicked Ding Xiaoxie squarely in the chest with great force. Then, with a turn, he swept Ding Wangxie's head. After losing his footing again, he delivered a heavy knee strike to Ding Lixie's stomach.

With a clean and swift movement, Gao Jin knocked all three Ding brothers to the ground in an instant!

This sudden scene stunned everyone around, and the Zhongqing Society members surrounding them dared not make any further moves.

Then Gao Jin stepped on Ding Xiaoxie's neck, and with a flash of cold light in his hand, a bloody mark instantly appeared on the latter's face.

He looked down at Ding Xiaoxie: "Ye Sheng said that if there's a next time, all three of you brothers will disappear!"

For a moment, Ding Xiaoxie was intimidated by Gao Jin's imposing aura, as if he were being stared at by a ferocious beast, and felt an instinctive fear.

He could tell that this guy really meant what he said!
At this moment, Ding Xiaoxie was also awakened by the beating, as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water. Ding Xiaoxie was not afraid of death, but he still had two younger brothers!
We can't sacrifice the third and fourth children for the sake of the second!
After Gao Jin finished speaking, he stepped over him, then grabbed Fang Zhanbo with one hand and took him away.

Ding Xiaoxie remained silent, got up quietly, knowing he wouldn't get away with it today, and decided to leave with his two brothers first.

But Tony and his men surrounded them. Several of his men held down the three Ding family crabs, and then he punched Ding Xiaoxie hard, yelling, "Trying to leave? Damn it! Not so easy!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and heavy punches and kicks rained down on Three Crabs. The group of Zhongqing Society underlings behind him wanted to fight back, but they had already lost their momentum and were no match for him.

Just then, a police whistle rang out: "Hey, what are you doing?!"

Tony grabbed Ding Xiaoxie by the hair, slapped his face, and said viciously:

"Ding Xiaoxie, Mr. Ye is in a good mood today, so I'll let you off the hook. But if I find out you dare to come near here again, I'll bring my men to wipe out your Chung Ching Society and chop up your whole family!"

After saying that, Tony walked up with a smile: "Officer, we saw a few people fall down here, so we kindly came to help them up."

Several PTU officers separated the two groups, frowned at the appearance of the three Ding family members, but then glanced at Tony, turned a blind eye, and said:

"This is a busy area. I'm warning you, don't cause trouble here, or I'll take you to the police station!"

"Understood, officer. Our Tong Yi Tong is the most law-abiding."

Ding Xiaoxie didn't say anything, but helped his two younger brothers and led his men away.

"Mr. Ye, thank you!" Fang Zhanbo wiped the blood off his face and bowed to Ye Dongsheng.

Seeing Fang Zhanbo's miserable state, Ye Dongsheng waved his hand, thinking to himself, "Why does this kid always get beaten up every time I see him?"
"Be careful in the future, and don't worry your family."

Ye Dongsheng said something indifferently and then ignored it. They weren't particularly close anyway, and saving him was just a small favor.

As for the feud between the Fang and Ding families, it really had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to get involved. Fang Zhanbo should take revenge himself if he had the ability.

At that moment, Tony walked over, head bowed, and said, "Mr. Ye, I'm sorry, those bastards disturbed your peace and quiet..."

Ye Dongsheng said calmly, "Don't let it happen again. Also, have someone keep an eye on them. If they dare to make any moves, you know what to do!"

"Yes!"

Ye Dongsheng is, after all, a respectable businessman, and he doesn't want to cause trouble everywhere. These kinds of things should be left to Tongyitang to handle; that's what they're here for.

As for whether Chung Ching Society dares to make any further moves, if Ting Hau-hai were all alone, he might actually dare. However, with two younger brothers, he has a weakness, and Ko Chun's words just now were a warning; he should understand.

……

The Ding family villa was brightly lit.

The three Ding family crabs, covered in wounds, rubbed each other with medicinal wine. The fourth brother, Ding Wang, said indignantly, "Big brother, why didn't you fight them?!"

Since the Ding family made something of themselves, they hadn't suffered such humiliation in a long time.

The third lawyer, however, was more composed: "How can we fight them? Tongyitang is powerful now, it will be very difficult for us to win!"

"We're not afraid of even the Tongyi Hall! Back then, we brothers were penniless and had nothing, but we still managed to build this empire. What's there to be afraid of!"

The third lawyer said, "It's not that we're afraid, it's that we can't fight. Do you know that our Chung Ching Society is already in trouble?" The fourth lawyer wanted to say something more, but Ding Xiaoxie raised his hand to stop him.

"Fourth brother, your third brother is right, we can't fight now! We're out of money!"

Ding Lixie opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything more.

Of course he knew that fighting also required money!
Every time the gang launches a large-scale battle, they have to prepare a sum of money. Mobilization fees, bail fees, medical expenses, and red envelopes are all indispensable!

Otherwise, if you can't pay your men after a fight, who will stay with you? Some people will just run away!

In order to pay the 1000 million ransom to Ding Yixie, the Zhongqing Society not only mortgaged their villa but also emptied their working capital.

If we were to fight Tongyitang now, losing wouldn't be so terrible. What would be terrible is if we couldn't pay up and all the underlings ran away, leaving us in a state of collapse!
Ding Lixie felt aggrieved and slammed his fist on the sofa: "Then let's just leave Second Brother's matter as it is!"

"of course not!"

Ding Xiaoxie looked at his third brother: "Third brother, do you think that the second brother's matter has anything to do with Tongyitang?"

The lawyer, Ding Wangxie, remained quite calm throughout; he shook his head.
"Brother, in my opinion, it has nothing to do with Tongyitang. It just so happens that Second Brother went to cause trouble for Lei Dabiao's family, which dragged Tongyitang into it."

Tongyitang had no reason to collude with the Fang family and help them. Moreover, a long-established triad like Tongyitang generally wouldn't break its rules or resort to kidnapping.

Kidnapping is something only outsiders do. These gangs are local bullies who live off the land. If you kidnap my family today and I kidnap yours tomorrow, everything will be in chaos.

Therefore, generally speaking, unless the two sides have become mortal enemies, they will not resort to kidnapping family members.

“Then wouldn’t Second Brother be…” Ding Lixie said sadly.

The third brother didn't say anything. In fact, given the current situation, all the brothers knew that their second brother had most likely been killed by the kidnappers, but they just didn't want to face it.

“No! He wasn’t dead before the second brother’s body was found!” Ding Xiaoxie said firmly.

He looked at Ding Wangxie: "Third brother, spread the word in the martial arts world: 10 for anyone with information about the second brother! 100 million for anyone who can find the second brother!"

Then he hugged his two younger brothers: "From now on, when you go out, you must have someone with you to protect you. I don't want what happened to the second brother to happen to you!"

"Ok!"

Then the third brother said, "Big brother, the gang's cash flow is so tight right now, what should we do? Besides, we still owe Daoheng Bank a sum of money!"

Hearing this, Ding Xiaoxie frowned. After all, that was 1000 million. It would be a huge financial blow once it was paid out, and it wouldn't be easy to make up for it.

For a moment, the room fell silent.

At this moment, Ding Lixie said, "Brother, there's something I need to tell you."

"Huh? What?"

"I gained a lot from my trip to the mainland this time."

"Oh? You mean the delivery service?"

The eldest and third sons were somewhat surprised. The Ding brothers had previously planned to enter the express delivery industry, so they arranged for the fourth son to go to the mainland for research.

However, given the current situation, this delivery business is not so easy!
The fourth brother pulled a bottle out of his pocket and said with a smile, "I brought this with me when I went through customs and immigration on the mainland this time!"

When Ding Xiaoxie saw this thing, he instantly lost his composure, grabbed Lao Si by the collar and roared, "Are you out of your mind? What if the mainland personnel find out?"

No wonder he was so excited, because this thing is not an ordinary medicine, but a head-shaking pill!
Although this was only introduced to Hong Kong Island this year, these people all know that it is poison!
The mainland is very sensitive about drugs; if you get caught, you could be shot!

Ding Lixie comforted him:

"Don't worry, brother, I'm perfectly fine. I've already told you, strictly speaking, it's not a hard poison, it's just a psychotropic drug. Right now, the Americans have only temporarily listed it as a controlled substance."

In Hong Kong, there is still no official status for it, meaning that it is currently considered a regular drug there!
The mainland is very backward, and they have no idea what this is. Their inspectors have never seen it before either. I just reported that it was my personal medication, and they let me through!
Pass through openly and fairly!

Even so, Ding Xiaoxie still scolded him, "You! You're too reckless! What if something really happens?"

Ding Lixie chuckled and said, "Brother, I'm confident. I'm a doctor, so it's normal for me to bring a bottle or two of medicine. Even if I get detained, they won't do anything to me!"

Ding Wangxie pressed on, "Fourth brother, what do you mean?"

Ding Lixie straightened his clothes, then puffed out his chest and said:
"Big brother, third brother, actually I started researching this three years ago. Its main ingredient is MDMA, and it can already be produced in stock! Now, as long as we get the raw materials, we don't need to import from the US; we can make it ourselves!"
Whether in Hong Kong or mainland China, it is not considered a drug. Since we are short of money, we should seize this opportunity and make a fortune!
"We can stop when it's really going to be banned by the police!"

Ding Xiaoxie hesitated for a moment, as he really didn't know much about this, and then looked at his lawyer brother: "Third brother, do the fourth brother's ideas work?"

Ding Wangxie nodded: "Legally speaking, as long as it's not classified as a drug, it's legal for us to sell it! The police can't do anything to us, and even if it goes to court, the judge will rule in our favor!"

Ding Lixie said, "Brother, the cost of making it is one-fifth of what I bought from the dealer, so it's definitely profitable!"

There are no legal risks on Hong Kong Island, and we don't know anyone on the mainland. This is the best money-making opportunity right in front of us!

Ding Xiaoxie thought for a moment and said, "Let the third brother check the laws in Hong Kong again. As for the mainland, there are still risks!"

Ding Lixie was getting anxious: "Brother, we have to compete with other triads in Hong Kong. We can't break into their territory at all and can't sell much. But the mainland is a completely untapped market! As long as we get in, we'll definitely make a fortune!"
You don't need to worry about security. Just have your courier company act as a cover to deliver it. None of the three of us need to go through customs personally. Even if we are checked someday, the mainland won't come to Hong Kong to arrest us!

Ding Xiaoxie then looked at the third brother, who nodded and said, "The fourth brother is right. As long as we don't go to the mainland, they can't do anything to us!"

Seeing that both the professional doctor and lawyer in front of him said so, and considering their current financial difficulties, Ding Xiaoxie made up his mind:

"Alright, then we'll do our best to make Fing Head Pills for you, Fourth Brother!"
