Chapter 115 Hiring a Killer at Tea Fruit Ridge

Late at night, Tai Kok Tsui Estate.

drip-

As two horn blared from outside the dilapidated sports field in the housing estate, Mo Yiquan, with a cigarette between his fingers, strode toward the Toyota with its headlights on.

Qiu Gang'ao drove over to pick him up.

"Brother Ao, did Mr. He instruct you to do something?"

The vehicle started, and Qiu Gang'ao simply nodded.

Mo Yiquan seemed to understand something when she was suddenly called out to do something in the middle of the night.

This matter may be a bit tricky.

"Where are Brother Hua and Bursting Beads?"

"We're not inviting them this time."

Qiu Gang'ao turned the steering wheel and drove into Tangwei Street.

Then he asked Mo Yiquan a question.

"What have Brother Hua and Bursting Beads been up to lately?"

Mo Yiquan fell silent.

Since their release from prison, they have indeed made a lot of money by working for He Yaozong.

However, they did have criminal records and were former elite officers of the police force.

Few people understand the principle of not flaunting wealth.

“Brother Ao, Brother Hua has a wife and children, and he still has to work at the car wash.”

Although Baozhu is not married, he still has two parents to support. He recently found a job delivering newspapers and occasionally buys lottery tickets.

He hopes to buy a house in Wan Chai while his parents are still alive, so that they can enjoy their retirement.

"What about you?"

"I don't have that kind of leisure for them. I'm only busy eating, so the whole family isn't hungry."

Ever since graduating from Wong Chuk Hang and starting my regular job, I've never thought about what else I could do in my life besides being a policeman.

Qiu Gang'ao nodded, and then said.

“Mr. He called me tonight. I need to go to Macau to take care of something for him. When he comes back, he’ll set up a magazine for us.”

Mo Yiquan was slightly taken aback, then threw the cigarette butt out the window.

"No way, let's not even talk about Brother Hua for now. When Baozhu and I were in police academy, we hated academic classes the most."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have failed the exam for trainee inspector for so many years.

"Set up a magazine for us? This isn't...this isn't..."

Mo Yiquan was at a loss for words and couldn't find a suitable adjective to express his thoughts.

Qiu Gang'ao simply smiled and shook his head.

"Don't worry, we don't need to take care of things at the magazine. What we need to do is take the shares and hire a group of professional paparazzi!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yiquan immediately understood.

However, he still had some doubts.

"Could you elaborate on what Mr. He wants us to do?"
If it's going to be a gamble, I should plan ahead. At the very least, I should use the spare money in the house to support Brother Hua's wife and children.

"No need, it's perfectly safe!"

……

The car drove all the way to Chaguoling, the territory of Qu Wangui, nicknamed "The Fierce Ghost".

The previous times Qiu Gang'ao and others purchased weapons and explosives, they got them from Qu Wangui.

The small tea plantation is dotted with hundreds of huts of all sizes.

This place is a melting pot of all sorts of people, and its level of chaos is comparable to that of the former Kowloon Walled City.

A hoodlum from Southeast Asia, an Indian who makes a living by using his body to transport drugs, and a Vietnamese guy who escaped from a refugee camp.

Half a kilometer from the dormitory area, Qiu Gang'ao parked his car in a bush by the roadside.

If we drive any further, he might come back and not even have a tire left.

With a clear goal in mind, he locked the car and headed towards the slum area.

This wasn't Qiu Gang'ao's first time here, so he knew the way well. He arrived at Chaguoling, bypassed the bustling dormitory area, and came to the door of the only detached house that still looked like a proper dwelling.

After explaining his purpose to the Indian gatekeeper, saying that he was there to see Qu Wangui, the Indian man raised his hand and started yelling.

“Money!”

Qiu Gang'ao looked at the two scoundrels and sneered.

He then pulled out a butterfly knife from behind his back, twirled it in a beautiful flourish, and the blade swiftly sliced ​​across the Indian man's neck.

"Ho..."

The Indian man's eyes widened, and he clutched his neck in pain as blood gushed from between his fingers before collapsing weakly to the ground.

The commotion at the door alerted the thugs inside, and flashlights immediately shone in. Qiu Gang'ao wasn't worried; he simply shook the blood off his knife, then took out a thousand-dollar bill from his pocket and waved it in the direction the flashlight was shining.

“Money!”

The flashlight went out immediately.

In Cha Kwo Ling, a human life is worth less than a dog's.

Once you get rid of this Indian gatekeeper, a large gold bull will be enough to easily settle things.

Inside the detached house, Qu Wangui, with his square face, was combing a stack of small bills.

After Qiu Gang'ao and the other man were brought in, he didn't turn his head, but asked with some displeasure.

"Next time, could you please not kill someone in front of my house? I always have to clean the floor, it's such a hassle!"

"So, tell me, what kind of difficult-to-obtain things do you want to buy this time?"

Qiu Gang'ao walked behind Qu Wangui and then spoke.

"This time I'm going to take a group of people out!"

"Oh!"

Upon hearing that Qiu Gang'ao had come to ask for a job, Qu Wangui was somewhat disappointed. He then put down the banknotes in his hand and turned around to ask.

"How many people are needed?"

"Ten or so will do, but there are requirements!"
He must be Vietnamese, a former soldier, and able to fire a gun!

"Having served in the military and knowing how to fire a gun, we'll have to negotiate the price."

Qu Wangui chuckled, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"Last year I brought back quite a few Vietnamese guys from the sea. They helped me go out to sea to distribute goods, and they were definitely skilled enough."

I don't know what you're going to do with them, but my only request is that you take them away and don't send them back. I don't want them to cause me any trouble.

Qiu Gang'ao understood that Qu Wangui was trying to raise the price arbitrarily.

Buying out this group of Vietnamese guys in one go clearly means they're preparing to ask for an exorbitant price.

"How much do you want?"

“The last few times you and I did business deals worth hundreds of thousands or even millions, so this time I'll give you a special price.”

It's 20,000 yuan per person, plus the commission paid to the Vietnamese guy, but I can help you reduce it to 30,000 yuan.

Also, if things get complicated, you need to arrange for those Vietnamese guys to escape by boat and cover the costs.

"make a deal!"

Seeing Qiu Gang'ao agree so readily, Qu Wangui was taken aback.

"Qiu Gang'ao, what big business have you found this time?"
If you need any help, just let me know; I'm interested in investing!

"You ghost, I advise you to refrain from asking questions you shouldn't!"

"Okay, where's the money?"

Qiu Gang'ao waved to Mo Yiquan behind him, and then Mo Yiquan threw the handbag she was carrying at Qu Wangui's feet.

"Here's 800,000. Brother Ao said the extra is for you to have some tea!"

Qu Wangui bent down and unzipped the handbag.

Seeing that it was indeed filled with banknotes, I couldn't help but smile.

"Doing business with you is becoming more and more pleasant. Here, I'll pick out twenty good men for you."

"Consider the extra as a gift from me!"

Qiu Gang'ao waved his hand and said coldly, "No need, fifteen is enough!"

At exactly 1 a.m., Qiu Gang'ao led the group of Vietnamese men selected by Cha Kwo Ling onto a fishing boat bound for Haojiang at Lei Yue Mun.

The group of Vietnamese guys were very excited after learning they were going to Macau.

After the boat started moving, some Vietnamese men who had been staying on Hong Kong Island for a long time began to approach Qiu Gang'ao to find something to talk about.

"Boss, I heard from the ghost that after we finish this deal, each of us will get 100,000 yuan, is that right?"

"That's right!"

Qiu Gang'ao sat in the cabin, chewing a piece of chewing gum. He really didn't want to talk to this group of Vietnamese refugees.

Unexpectedly, the group of Vietnamese guys seemed unusually excited.

"Can we go for a few laps around Haojiang?"

"Fuck your mother! We're from the Macau Number Gang. We hired you to do something in Macau, to shoot and kill the leaders of two gangs!"
"Otherwise, do you think earning 100,000 is so easy?"

Mo Yiquan was getting annoyed by the noise from the group of Vietnamese guys, so she immediately retorted as Qiu Gang'ao had instructed her.

In an instant, the Vietnamese men in the cabin fell silent.

Qiu Gang'ao stood up and reassured the group of Vietnamese men, "Don't be alarmed, I will arrange boats for you to escape at the outer harbor pier."

Tomorrow, just do as I tell you. If it doesn't work out, just leave.

"Well done! I'll hire you again next time!"

The Vietnamese guy who had just spoken to Qiu Gang'ao immediately shook his head.

"It's not that we're afraid, it's just that we feel that 100,000 is a bit too little to take down the leaders of two big gangs!"

"In that case, you'll give each of us an extra 50,000!"

Mo Yiquan immediately became angry: "Wasn't it agreed that it would be 100,000 yuan? Why is the amount being increased at the last minute?"

Are you going to do it or not? If not, set sail and go back immediately, and we'll find someone else!

"It wasn't us who added this on the spur of the moment; you didn't tell us what we were supposed to do in the first place!"

The Vietnamese guy suddenly stood up and met Mok Yik-chuen's eyes. None of the people making a living in Cha Kwo Ling had a good temper.

Seeing that a dispute was about to break out, Qiu Gangao also stepped between Mo Yiquan and the Vietnamese man and pushed them apart.

He then looked at the Vietnamese guy and smiled.

"Add another 50,000 if you want. When the ship arrives at Haojiang, I'll pay you a deposit of 50,000."

"As long as you handle things well, we can discuss adding more money."

"You should have said that earlier!"

The Vietnamese guy sat down again and then whispered to a group of his accomplices in his native language for a while. Many of the Vietnamese guys who didn't understand Cantonese gave him a thumbs up, followed by a burst of noisy laughter.

“Brother Ao…”

Mo Yiquan grew increasingly disgusted with the group of Vietnamese guys, so she sidled up to Qiu Gang'ao and shouted through gritted teeth.

Qiu Gang'ao simply patted Mo Yiquan on the shoulder, then pulled him out of the cabin and to the stern.

Looking out at the dark sea, I glanced back to make sure no one was outside.

Qiu Gang'ao said in a low voice, "You don't need to dislike them. It's okay to give them an extra 50,000."

They might earn that money, but they won't live to spend it!

Mo Yiquan immediately understood and then lowered her voice as well.

"If that's the case, why not save the extra 50,000?"

"We cannot afford to be careless! This is a matter of great importance, and we cannot afford to make the slightest mistake!"
-

The next day, the sky east of Haojiang was just beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn.

Shui Fanglai got up very early. After having his morning tea, he made a phone call and summoned Toastmasters Adidas.

“Adi, He Yaozong contacted me this morning.”

"You handled things exceptionally well last night. He's already arranged to meet me tonight at the Fortress Hotel to discuss how to completely shut down Broken Tooth Koi and his gang in Macau!"

Shui Fang Lai seemed to be in a very good mood. He and Wan Kuok Koi had a history of grudges and grievances for over twenty years. They had been friends in the past, and they had also become enemies.

But he hadn't initially expected that the dispute over the brothel business would escalate to this point.

It can only be said that money can move people's hearts; no matter how complex the emotions in this world are, they can hardly withstand the test of money.

Adi first lit a cigar for Shuifang Lai, and then answered thoughtfully.

"Ah Da, I think He Yaozong's reaction was a bit too extreme?"
"If he wants to fight the Number Gang, he can easily discuss it with us privately. There's no need to make it known to everyone in Macau, is there?"

Shuifang Lai chuckled, took the cigar, and took a puff.

"You don't understand. I guarantee that the people you sent to cause trouble at Willie Hall last night will not be able to hide it from He Yaozong."

However, I did this simply to warn them that if they want to make a living in Macau, they not only have to be mindful of the gambling king's mood, but also of my mood, Lai Tung-sing!

He had no choice but to speak out loudly, wanting to stand with the waterworks staff and hoping I would give him a handout!

"Ah Da is truly brilliant. He can both force Wo Luen Shing to fight with Broken Tooth Koi's men and force Wo Luen Shing to obediently surrender to us."

That's truly killing two birds with one stone! Brilliant!

Adidas's flattery skills weren't very good, and Shuifang Lai had had enough of it.

"Alright, since they've shown their sincerity, we should reciprocate."

Go and say hello to Hei Zai Rong, and ask him to visit He Yaozong at the Willie Hall before noon.

"We've made our junket business with Wo Luen Shing completely public. We're having dinner together tonight to liven things up and get those smart guys in the junket business thinking about switching sides as soon as possible!"

Adi paused, then asked, "Ah Da, are we really going to disclose the entire junket business to Wo Luen Shing?"

"Why are you talking so much? Whether or not I give them the business is entirely up to me."
"If you're so eager to learn, I might as well send you to work under Hei Zai Rong!"
-

"Damn it! Last night, we Hung Hing worked ourselves to the bone in the casino, while they and Luen Shing just turned around and left!"

They're closed for rectification today, and their boss still has the nerve to play bowling here!

At four o'clock in the afternoon, on the sixth floor of the Willy Hall, a Hung Hing member leaned against the outside of the bowling alley and couldn't help but mutter a complaint to a companion.

"Stop complaining. Last night I spent the whole night with Baofanzi and the others catching dung beetles in the VIP room. You have no idea how disgusting it was."

Those dung beetles crawled everywhere in the casino, and no matter where they jumped, they left several yellow footprints wherever they landed.

We worked all night, and in the end, Brother Dafei even slapped me a few times. Who can I complain to?

After the Hung Hing member who responded finished speaking, he suddenly shoved his companion.

"Hey, stop talking, Mr. Jiang is here!"

The two of them stood still and greeted Jiang Tiansheng, who was walking from the elevator.

Jiang Tiansheng simply waved his hand and then strode into the bowling alley.

bang-

As He Yaozong threw a bowling ball into the lane, it struck the last pin perfectly.

"Damn! Another one!"

He Yaozong shook his head, and then saw Jiang Tiansheng walk in from outside.

"Ah Yao, you seem to be in good spirits!"

"Mr. Jiang, would you like a couple of balls?"

He Yaozong took off his wristband and responded to Jiang Tiansheng.

"Forget it, I'm not in the mood."

Would it be convenient for us to go over there and have a quick chat?

After saying that, Jiang Tiansheng pointed to the lounge on one side of the ball court.

The two entered the lounge and asked someone to turn up the air conditioning. Jiang Tiansheng then spoke first.

"Are you going to the Fortress Hotel at 7 PM tonight to discuss cooperation with Lai from the Water House?"

"That's right!"

He Yaozong wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued.

"If someone takes a single grain of millet from me, I will destroy three bushels of their grain!"
Anyway, the order of the Macau triads has always been maintained through fighting and killing; it's time to do something exciting.

Jiang Tiansheng pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"But don't you think it's too strange? The Number Gang is clearly declining now, so why are they still making such a big fuss about causing trouble in our casino?"
Aren't they afraid that our two Hong Kong Island triads, together with the Shui Fong triad, will force them to leave no room to survive in Macau?

"Mr. Jiang, what you're saying is not within my consideration."

All I know is that someone is trying to sabotage our business, and I have to retaliate!

With a sigh, Jiang Tiansheng said in a deep voice.

"Ah Yao, I'm afraid we've fallen into a trap set by the water room!"

I have a feeling that what happened last night was instigated by the water room, and that the water room wants to use us to completely destroy the number gang.

Once the number pool in Macau is gone, the rights to the junkets will fall entirely into the hands of the money launderers. At that point, it will be extremely difficult for us to negotiate with them!

He Yaozong couldn't help but sneer.

"Mr. Jiang, I never expected that doing business in Macau would involve such a three-way power struggle. What, is this the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"

"The words may be rough, but the principle is sound. We don't have the right to use the code-changing feature. If we help the smugglers to destroy the number gang, we might receive support from the smugglers' code-changing business in the short term."

But in the long run, this is absolutely the worst possible solution!

"So, Mr. Jiang, what should I do?"

Are we going to let the gangs from Macau continue causing trouble in our casino? If this continues, I'm afraid no customer will dare to gamble at Willy's Casino anymore!

These words left Jiang Tiansheng speechless.

Indeed, for Hong Kong Island triads to establish themselves in Macau, clashes with local triads are inevitable.

After another difficult period of thought, Jiang Tiansheng finally spoke.

"Ah Yao, you can fight if you want, but I hope you won't help the water room kill the number!"

Today we're partnering with a water company, who knows, tomorrow we might have to partner with a number-sharing company.

Regardless, we should always leave ourselves some room to maneuver.

He Yaozong shook his head.

"Mr. Jiang, all this scheming and backstabbing is just too tiring."

I prefer to resolve casino crises quickly and decisively.

But please rest assured, I also own half of the casino business, and I will carefully consider how to proceed.

Faced with He Yaozong's ambiguous answer, Jiang Tiansheng could only sigh again.

"Alright, if there's anything you need my help with, just let me know."

As you said, we all prosper together and suffer together.

Even if business fails here in Macau, we can't just cower and run back to Hong Kong Island!
