Chapter 128 "128" Loan sharking is a business only the poor do.

"Kill!"

"Kick them to death!"

Hong Xin and Dong Sheng, along with hundreds of others, engaged in a chaotic street battle. Brother B led the charge, slashing down one of the henchmen in front of him with a knife, and then felling three or four more on either side before heading straight for the enemy's trash.

"You bastard, you dug up my boss's ancestral grave? I'll chop you up, you piece of shit!"

"Come on, who's afraid of who?" The trash slashed down a henchman who was trying to sneak up on him, his face contorted with rage, and headed straight for Brother B.

The two instantly grappled, exchanging seven or eight blows in a short time. Their weapons gleamed brightly in the night, sparking as they clashed. Seeing an opening, Brother B swiftly cleaved the lousy machete in two, then thrust the blade directly into Brother B's chest.

However, the knife failed to penetrate; after tearing through the clothing, the tip remained stuck outside.

"Brother B, do you think I'd be unguarded after I was hit by Hong Fei's swift knife and learned you were his master?" Le Se grinned as he tore open his shirt, revealing the metal underneath. Brother B's expression immediately changed.

Trash kicked the man away and then slashed down several of Hung Sun's henchmen. He immediately pointed at Brother B and shouted, "Kill him first!"

……

Inside a stretched Mercedes, Zheng Wei watched the fierce battle of a hundred men not far away, then glanced at the bodyguard beside him: "You want me to help deal with Dong Sheng? How do I do that?"

"It's simple, just take out the ringleader and make our Brother Zheng's name known." Taibao said, puffing on his cigar.

"But you also know that we have no reason. If we attack Dong Sheng without any moral justification or cause, then tomorrow some gangs will attack us for no reason, and there will be more than one."

"It's all the same gang of bosses from Tsim Sha Tsui, Liang Zheng! Maybe a dozen of them will gang up on him. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?" Zheng Wei sneered.

"Of course I'm not afraid." Taibao had expected this. He pointed to Xiaotong, who was looking a little flustered in the passenger seat, and said, "She's Brother Zheng's girlfriend. Is that enough?"

"What do you mean?"

"Xiaotong is a reporter for our newspaper, and his older brother Xiaochun is one of Hong Xin's men. Now, don't we have a legitimate reason? Don't we have a moral high ground?"

"After all, if even the henchman's own brother gets slashed and he doesn't help, how can Brother Zheng continue to work in the underworld?" Tai Bao said with a smile.

Just then, Xiaochun pretended to run out into the street and lay on the ground screaming in pain.

It was covered in red paint, and it looked quite intimidating.

"This works?" Zheng Wei's lips twitched. The smell of paint was so strong, even a fool would know it was fake.

"Whether it works or not, having a reason is enough. As for concrete evidence... we're gangsters, do we need to talk about that? Having a reason to kill someone is enough," Tai-bo laughed.

Then he patted Zheng Wei on the shoulder: "Look how I'm doing now? I get a specially made extended Mercedes for rich people, which costs at least 500,000 yuan..."

Six months ago, I was just a useless parking attendant who often got beaten up by customers.

After following Brother Zheng, my monthly income is seven or eight thousand, and sometimes more than ten. This is more than many people can earn in a lifetime. I earn it in just one month.

This is the life that so many gangsters dream of, while I can live a life of debauchery every day.

You're the senior disciple at the boxing gym now, but that's all you do there.

"Once this matter is settled, I'll recommend you to Zheng Ge. You can live like me every day, indulging in a life of pleasure and debauchery. What woman won't you find then?" Tai Bao coaxed and dangled words, and Zheng Wei was immediately tempted.

In fact, Taibao is a shrewd person. Others may not know, but he can see very clearly that Zheng Wei may have some feelings for Huo Min.

But now he's often seen with his sister-in-law, He Min.

I might even end up sleeping in the same bed as my older brother and sister-in-law in the future...

If he doesn't even understand this much, then Zheng Wei will most likely be killed.

Taibao thought this guy was a talent, and it was a real shame that he was killed like this.

In addition, he also has some grudges with Hong Fei this time. If he can resolve them smoothly, then deal with Dong Sheng, take over Hong Xin's territory, then annex Dong Sheng, and finally help Nan Zheng find a high-quality girlfriend... Damn, seven or eight things in one go.

It would be difficult for Nan Zheng not to give him an important position!

Taibao sometimes has to admit he's a real genius, how come he always has so many clever ideas?

"Okay, I agree." Zheng Wei got out of the car and then pointed to Xiao Chun lying on the ground:

"Stop barking like a dog. If I call you, then let me come."

"No problem, bro!" Xiao Chun immediately stood up and said with a grin.

Zheng Wei then turned around and went forward empty-handed.

"Brother Taibao, is this okay? I don't think he even brought a knife," Xiaochun asked again.

"Just watch, his fists are even better than Wang Jianjun's, and his weapons are only slightly inferior to Wang Jianjun's... If even a master like this can't kill Dong Sheng's Red Sticks, then we might as well not be in this business." Taibao sneered.

It is common knowledge that Wang Jianjun, unarmed, and Wang Jianjun wielding weapons are two completely different people.

Those around Nan Zheng were also aware of this.

Zheng Wei's strength is truly formidable; he's probably not much weaker than Luo Tianhong in a melee.

“Now that this is settled, it’s time to get serious, sister-in-law,” Taibao said with a grin as he turned around.

Xiaotong's face immediately turned red.

Taibao had her pretend to be Nan Zheng's girlfriend, and then use this as an opportunity to start a war against Dong Sheng.

What was supposed to be fake could become real; Xiaotong truly hadn't expected Taibao to say such a thing.

……

"Damn it, you idiot, I'm going to chop you up tonight!"

The scoundrel, his face contorted with rage, ordered seven or eight of his henchmen to surround Brother B. Just as Brother B was about to be subdued, a figure suddenly flew out from behind and kicked two of his underlings to the ground.

It flew three or four meters away with that fall, which shows how strong the force was.

Zheng Wei swiftly picked up the machete that was falling from the sky, his eyes sharp, and he weaved through the crowd like a cannonball, slashing down seven or eight Dong Sheng boys.

The rubbish man looked horrified.

Even Brother B was stunned.

Where did this amazing person come from?

"Who the hell are you? You dare meddle in Hong Xin and Dong Sheng's fight? Aren't you afraid of dying?" The scoundrel cursed, then pointed at Zheng Wei and shouted:

"I don't care who you are, give it to me..."

Before he could even utter the word "get lost," Zheng Wei's face was covered in blood, and he looked like Yama, the King of Hell. He slashed at three or four more people and then swung his knife directly at Le Se.

Le Se was terrified and quickly dodged the slashing blade. Just as he was about to raise his hand to retaliate, the blade suddenly lifted up and jammed the hilt.

Zheng Wei suddenly took a step forward, and as soon as Le Se stepped back, the machete slid down and spun rapidly, tearing off three or four of Le Se's fingers.

"what!"

The wretch clutched his wound and screamed in agony, but Zheng Wei slit his throat with a single blow, splattering blood everywhere.

Before he could even beg for mercy, the scoundrel was stabbed several more times.

Every knife pierced through the sheet metal and struck straight at the heart.

It's easy to imagine how powerful the force was; it even chipped the blade of the knife.

Brother B, standing nearby, was dumbfounded. He thought his knife was ruthless enough, but he never expected this stranger to be even more ruthless and vicious, with every move potentially fatal.

Even the dozen or so henchmen who were standing nearby and wanted to help were all dumbfounded.

Zheng Wei's knife was so fast that before they could react, Luo Se was already stabbed into a bloody mess, his body riddled with holes.

After slashing more than a dozen people and stabbing Le Se to death with one blow, Zheng Wei remained expressionless.

He stepped on the still-bleeding scoundrel's neck again, then calmly lit a cigarette, waved to Xiaochun, and said, "Tonight, who among you dares to disagree with what Hung Hing does?"

"Hung Hing?" Brother B's pupils contracted.

"Hung Hing? What are you Hung Hing doing here, given our feud with Hung Sin?" The men of Tung Sing were all stunned. With Le Se dead, most of them had run away, but a few henchmen still mustered up the courage to ask.

Zheng Wei pointed to Xiao Chun, who was jogging over: "This is Hong Xinzai's sister, she's my boss Liang Zheng's girlfriend. What do you think? Do I need to say anything more?"

"Beautiful Zheng!?"

Upon hearing the name, the people of Dong Sheng immediately showed fear. The henchman who had just mustered up the courage to ask was also terrified and ran away as fast as he could.

Brother B stared at Xiao Chun in shock: "Holy crap! You actually brought the Hung Hing people here?"

“Of course, my sister is Liang Zheng’s girlfriend now! How could he not come over?” Xiao Chun said smugly.

It seems he's quite adept at using his sister for personal gain.

Brother B was even more surprised.

Now, Liang Zheng has conquered the entire Tsim Sha Tsui East. I heard that a few days ago she even took down the Kowloon Emperor, Lian Haolong. Now everyone outside is saying that Liang Zheng is the Tsim Sha Tsui East Emperor.

Xiao Chun actually invited Liang Zheng's people, how could Brother B not be surprised?

After all, the gap between Hung Sin and Hung Hing is too big, not to mention the difference between the two names.

Even if you bring out Liang Zheng's people, they could take on three or four Hong Xins.

"Things' settled, you two can chat now." Zheng Wei casually tossed away his cigarette and strode away.

Back in the car, Tai-bo laughed and said, "Well done. As long as word gets out tomorrow, Hung Hing can officially make its mark in Tsim Sha Tsui."

"We also need to find Hong Fei and see where that kid is."

"Brother Zheng specifically requested to see him."

"Don't forget your promise to me." Zheng Wei thought for a moment and then said directly:

“Gao Jin, Wang Jianjun, and the others all get the same salary, so I also want 50,000 a month.”

"I'll give you 50,000 right now!" Taibao patted Zheng Wei on the shoulder and laughed loudly.

He knew that wealth could be a powerful motivator.

Then he turned to look at the driver, then glanced at Xiaotong in the passenger seat, a mischievous grin on his face:
"Let's go back and see Brother Zheng."

"Tonight, I'm bringing a new sister-in-law home to see him."

Xiaotong's face turned red again.

……

Meanwhile, Nan Zheng arrived at Shengli Finance Co., Ltd. and went straight into the office.

"Bring your manager here."

"Hello, Mr. Nan." A moment later, a slightly more energetic middle-aged man in a suit walked in.

"What's your name?" Nan Zheng asked casually as she sat down and flipped through the files.

"Mr. Nan, my surname is Li."

"Manager Li, right? Since you already know who I am, you should also know why I'm here," Nan Zheng said. Manager Li nodded.

"Of course we understand. Mr. Tang has already told us that from today onwards, you are our boss. We will do whatever you ask us to do."

"Just leave all the messy and shady accounts here to my people to handle," Nan Zheng said, pointing at Xiahou Wu.

"He'll collect it later."

“No problem, Mr. Nan,” Manager Li said with a smile. “We still have more than three hundred contracts here. No one has come to see them since the incident with Zhongyixin. Now is the perfect time.”

"Hmm." Nan Zheng glanced at the contracts and then said, "The interest payments for those ordinary people and the poor have all been settled."

They're all just salted fish; you can't squeeze much more out of them, so it's better to take it while you're ahead.

"And from tomorrow onwards, Victory Finance Company will be renamed Night Without End Finance Company. As for the remaining middle-class and lower-class individuals, they will all be subject to the 'nine out, thirteen back' policy, with no interest compounding or interest accruing... all of that will be eliminated."

"Uh, Mr. Nan, is this feasible?" Manager Li asked hesitantly.

"What, do you look down on me? Or are you still thinking about your old master? Do you want me to take you to see him?" Nan Zheng tilted her head.

Manager Li's hair stood on end upon hearing this, and he quickly replied, "Whatever you say, Mr. Nan, I'll get it done right away."

"Distribute the information to all employees at the same time, so that everyone is clear about it within an hour."

"That's right." Nan Zheng nodded in satisfaction.

If it weren't for this finance company, and the fact that he hadn't officially changed careers yet, he wouldn't even want to be middle class.

What's faster than robbing someone?
The way the Lao family runs these companies is, frankly, to make money from money. They lend money to people who are short of cash, and then collect the money back when the time is right, using intimidation and exploitation.

But times have changed. What kind of profit can you make from this?
Of course, the idea is to proactively lend money to those who are considered wealthy or influential, then ask them not to repay it, then ask them to be arrogant, and finally ask them to beat up one's own employees, so that one can openly rob the wealthy and take everything from them...

Since they are in the wrong, it's not wrong for me to confiscate their entire family's property, right?
This is the fastest way to get rich! One must always keep up with the times!

Even if he didn't borrow money from his family, lending it to those rich kids in gangs would still be much more profitable than being a poor wretch collecting debts and doing loan sharking now.

Most importantly, the risk is minimal.

If the other party refuses to give it, just kill them, wouldn't that solve everything?
At most, it's a little heartbreaking; it's just about letting people take the money to their graves.

This is also why they keep Uncle Si around; not only can they bleed him dry, but they can also bleed his business associates dry—killing two birds with one stone.

Nan Zheng briefly renovated the company and left half an hour later. Xiahou Wu couldn't help but say from the side, "Is it appropriate for me to manage this? I've never done this before."

"Wasn't the Governor of Hong Kong also a first-time human being? He still became the Governor of Hong Kong on his first try."

"A little more study is enough," Nan Zheng said dismissively, raising her hand to draw a few circles.
"Besides, what I just targeted were all sorts of gangs. If you lend money to these people in the future, nine out of ten won't pay it back... You'll be chopping people until your hands are sore!"

"Is there really such a good thing?" Xiahou Wu was immediately eager to try it out.

When he came to Nan Zheng's place, he didn't really care about anything, except for fighting with people.

However, apart from Gao Jin, whom he couldn't defeat, Xiahou Wu had a fairly good understanding of the others.

It's time to go and have a showdown in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Looking back now, managing this finance company was actually quite good...

At least the people he fought were all gangsters, so he wouldn't go to jail even if he was beaten to death.

His profession was a perfect match for Xiahou Wu's.

However, before Nan Zheng and her group could leave the company, a dozen thugs walked in and swaggered to the front desk, shouting at the female employee, "Where's today's protection money? Have you paid it?"

"No," the female employee replied directly.

"No?" The blond-haired man paused, then said contemptuously, "Bitch, you're getting all arrogant now, aren't you? Do you remember what I said yesterday?"

"If I don't get paid today, I'm going to smash this place up... Go for it!"

A dozen or so people behind her immediately pulled out steel pipes, and the female employee panicked.

However, turning his head, he immediately pointed to the zither:
"You want money, right? Go get it from him."

"Alright." The blond-haired man sneered, unafraid despite the large group surrounding Nan Zheng, and directly extended his hand: "Judging from what she's saying, you're the new boss here?"

"Give me the money, or I'll smash up your shop."

"I've collected protection money before, but this is the first time I've ever been charged protection money," Nan Zheng said with a smile, lighting a cigarette.

When Huang Mao saw that the other person looked down on him, he was immediately enraged. But before he could open his mouth to curse, a bulging arm grabbed his neck.

Then twist it hard.

His neck was snapped in an instant with a single hand, and the blond-haired man immediately went limp.

The thugs behind them were completely dumbfounded.

"Killing gangsters isn't illegal, is it?" Xiahou Wu then turned to look at Nan Zheng, a cruel smile creeping onto his lips.

Nan Zheng glanced at the time: "It's illegal, of course it's illegal, after all I'm a law-abiding citizen... Well, it's not illegal now, it's just past midnight."

"Great!" Xiahou Wu's eyes lit up with excitement, and he charged into the crowd like a cannonball.

"Kill him!" a group of thugs shouted, but before they could even make a move, several of them were knocked down, followed by a whole bunch of others. Screams and the sounds of various joints breaking echoed from the crowd.

The waitress screamed in fright when she saw it.

Dan Ying was also somewhat pale, because she had never seen her senior brother so bloodthirsty and brutal.

Actually, if I had just mentioned the name "Liang Zheng," the other party would have backed down if they weren't stupid.

After all, Leung Kwong lived a secluded life, and few people in Yau Tsim Mong and Kowloon had ever seen him. After all, he wasn't the Governor of Hong Kong; why would he attract attention?

But if you bring out Duo (nickname), it's a different story.

But there was no need. Nan Zheng also wanted to see how arrogant these people were, actually collecting protection money on the streets before midnight.

"You'll get used to it. Killing more of these scoundrels will be good for Hong Kong's security in the future." Nan Zheng exhaled a cloud of smoke, a carefree smile on her face.

Dan Ying swallowed hard: "If murder weren't illegal, my senior brother wouldn't have gone to jail before."

"That's because he's stupid. He doesn't even understand the most basic order in Hong Kong before he tries to cause trouble... If you work after midnight, you're lucky if the cops catch you." Wang Jianguo said disdainfully from the side.

"Furthermore, accidental death and manslaughter are two different things. Your senior brother admitted to both, so the judge had no choice but to sentence him."

Dan Ying nodded thoughtfully.

"Xiahou Wu, are you fucking an idiot? You've made a bloody mess at the entrance. Do you think you can just leave the door open for business forever?" Nan Zheng suddenly cursed.

"I know what I'm doing." Xiahou Wu's face was stained with a few drops of blood, and his bloodlust intensified. His smile grew wider and wider, as if he were a madman.

Nan Zheng thought this guy was definitely crazy; he must have been suppressing his feelings for too long.

Damn, it's just like Iori Yagami.

They are friendly and open with people as soon as they meet them, and they are very sincere and open with each other.

"Throw them all out." Nan Zheng walked over, found a henchman who wasn't too badly injured, kicked him, and asked directly, "Whose men are they?"

"Heng, Heng remembers Jian Ge's people..."

"Tell your boss I'll personally pay him a visit tomorrow. If he wants to play, I can play with him until the entire Hengji is wiped out." Nan Zheng sneered, kicked the man three or four meters away, and then strode away.

He didn't use his full strength because he was afraid that if he kicked someone to death, no one would speak up and he would have to start over.

After all, their status is different now; they're very sparing with words.

……

Almost simultaneously, Ah Jian received the news, and his face immediately turned extremely ugly.

Of the dozen or so thugs led by Huang Mao, all but one had their arms and joints broken by hand.

They were thrown into the trash can one by one, like dead dogs.

This is practically treating gangsters like hazardous waste.

"Whose people are they?" Huo Baoming asked with a grim expression.

Ah Jian shook his head: "It's not clear yet, we haven't found anything either."

"Now it seems that this is a new gang member that Tang Yuli has found."

"Damn it! Lian Haolong just died, didn't he? Zhong Yixin was just swallowed up, didn't he? Where did Tang Yuli get the speed to find a new background figure so quickly?" Huo Baoming raised his hand and flipped the table, pacing back and forth in anger.

To put it bluntly, the Lau family is all about making money, but they also have enemies who don't get along with each other.

It's just like gangs fighting each other.

Various interests and conflicts led to escalating grudges and fierce battles that intensified at night.

Essentially, these gangsters are no different from triad leaders; they always have their subordinates do the dirty work, and whoever steals the other's business gets to become the biggest.

The only difference between the Lao family and triad leaders is that they have a legitimate background.

That's it.

The fiery businessman behind the scenes is Robinson Crusoe, a financial tycoon who has been at odds with Tang Yuli in the business world for a long time.

Both sides have always wanted to take over each other's business.

Previously, Robinson Crusoe was always the one being suppressed, and later, the infighting within the Loyalty and Righteousness faction led to Tang Yuli's disadvantage.

After Lian Haolong's downfall, Robinson seized business from more than a dozen of his rivals.

This finance company is the next one.

Unexpectedly, only a day had passed, and Tang Yuli had already found a new owner to take over. It would be strange if Huo Baoming wasn't angry and surprised.

Do you know whose side they are on?

“I don’t know, but I’ve already called the water office and they’re not one of them. They’re probably not with Wo Luen Shing either; they run their own businesses and don’t need to get involved in land-based industries,” Ah Jian said.

"Also, the lookout said that the other party also said that if Hengji wants to play, then they will play until our entire Hengji is wiped out."

"Damn, they're really awesome!"
"There are only a few names in Yau Tsim Mong. My Heng Kee is the undisputed leader in Yau Ma Tei. I don't believe the next owner who takes over from Tong Yu-lai would dare to challenge me!"

"Unless he brings Liang Zheng, I'll burn his company down tonight," Huo Baoming sneered.

Aside from Liang Zheng, Huo Baoming really isn't afraid of anyone in Yau Tsim Mong.

However, Lian Haolong and Liang Zheng are locked in a fierce battle, and Lian Haolong's superior is Tang Yuli, so it's unlikely that Tang Yuli would have any connection with Liang Zheng.

Given Liang Zheng's personality, it's already a miracle that Tang Yuli wasn't killed by her. How could she possibly help Tang Yuli manage any business?

With that in mind, things become much easier.

That very night, Huo Baoming gathered more than thirty men and ordered A-Jian to vandalize Shengli Finance Company.

However, Xiahou Wu only brought seven or eight people, and he drove them all out.

Even Ah Jian had his leg broken and was thrown out like a dead dog.

Enraged, Huo Baoming stormed out of the car and yelled at Xiahou Wu, "Who do you think you are, you bastard? How dare you hit one of my men? I am Huo Baoming from Yau Ma Tei!"

"I don't fucking care who you are." Xiahou Wu sneered, stepped on A Jian's other leg, and stomped hard. A crisp cracking sound of bones breaking rang out, and a scream instantly came from the ground.

Deafening.

Xiahou Wu then threw the person into the trash can: "If you want to play, I'll play with you slowly."

My lungs are so hot and full of energy they feel like they're about to explode.

He immediately pointed at Xiahou Wu and roared, "Since you want to play, then I'll play with you to the very end."

"I don't care who your boss is, I'm going to beat you and your boss to a pulp."

"Remember that, he's fucking wiped out!"

Xiahou Wu was not afraid; instead, he looked amused and his face was full of mockery.

Huo Baoming's words are really intriguing.

He really wanted to see who would die completely.
