Hong Kong variety show: I can boost loyalty, the most generous boss.

Chapter 170, page 169: The third leader of the Yamada Group was attacked. Who was it?
"Feng Zhenguo, someone has come to bail you out. You can leave now!"

Inside the prison, Dizang (Feng Zhenguo) could hardly believe his ears. He could get out?

"Sir, are you sure you're not mistaken? Can I really go out?"

Jizo was completely bewildered. He had just killed a Japanese man in the street in front of the Happy Valley Police Station, and there were two police witnesses. And now he was being released like this?

The prison guard said with a smile:

"You've hit the jackpot, kid! Five Legislative Council members signed a petition to bail you out, spearheaded by Hong Kong's richest man, Councilor Yang. You've really made it big this time!"

Ksitigarbha's eyes widened in disbelief. Mr. Yang had personally bailed him out?
This, this, this.
Ksitigarbha was overjoyed, his head was buzzing, and he walked out of Lai Chi Kok Prison.

Lai Chi Kok Prison is different from Stanley Prison. It holds suspects who have not yet been sentenced and prisoners with shorter sentences. It is similar to a detention center in mainland China. They will go to Stanley Prison to serve their sentences after they are sentenced.

At the prison gate, Ksitigarbha walked out carrying a bag.

"Don't come here again, this place is no good!"

The prison guard kindly offered a reminder, to which Ksitigarbha replied with amusement:
"You think I wanted to come here, officer? The food here is terrible!"

Ksitigarbha looked towards the entrance and found more than a dozen luxury cars parked there, all of them Mercedes-Benz W8s, except for one Rolls-Royce in the middle with the license plate number 8.

In Hong Kong, cars with odd-numbered license plates are usually owned by the wealthy and powerful. The car with the number one license plate is the official vehicle of the Commissioner of Police, hence the Commissioner of Police is also known as "Brother One".

The Hong Kong tycoon with the license plate number 8 is none other than Mr. Yang. It's said that he spent over 100 million HKD to acquire it at an auction, setting a record for license plate auctions.

"Brother Dizang, Mr. Yang is here to pick you up in the car~"

Da Dong, accompanied by two bodyguards in suits, spoke to Jizang.

Mr. Yang really came? Dizang was flattered. He was just a lowly scoundrel before, and he couldn't even see the big boss Luo Tianhong, let alone Mr. Yang, the richest man in Hong Kong.

Jizang followed Da Dong and got into a Rolls-Royce, where he met the legendary Mr. Yang.

So young, even younger than in the newspaper photos, probably a few years younger than me.

"Mr. Yang!"

Ksitigarbha bowed respectfully to Yang Jun at a 90-degree angle, showing great deference!

When Yang Jun saw Ksitigarbha, who was dark-skinned and handsome, he thought, "Isn't that Louis Koo?"

Finally remembered who Jizang is? Isn't this the Jizang from the second major villain in the anti-drug campaign, the unlucky guy who was wrongly accused of drug trafficking by the triad and had three fingers cut off, who gave up on Zhengxing after leaving the triad and eventually became a big drug lord?

He looks so much like Louis Koo, but he's not an undercover agent. Interesting!
"Your name is Dizang? Aren't you from Zhengxing?"

Ahua coughed and said to Yang Jun:
“Zhengxing was a small gang that was wiped out long ago by Tianhong’s team. Zhengxing’s underlings also joined us and Liansheng.”

So that's how it is. Yang Jun has paid little attention to triad affairs in the past two years, leaving everything to Luo Tianhong and others. Unexpectedly, Wo Luen Shing has wiped out quite a few triads, and the number of triads in Hong Kong has been reduced to just over 30.

Big fish eat little fish. Only in the last two years have large triads like Tung Sing and Hung Hing survived, while many small triads have disappeared into the dustbin of history.

"Ahua, give him the check!"

Yang Jun, with a cigar in his mouth, instructed Ahua to hand a check to Dizang.

When Ksitigarbha took the check and looked at it, his heart pounded, and he couldn't help but gasp.

Really, five million US dollars?

"Mr. Yang, is it really five million US dollars?"

Yang Jun exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a playful smile:
"Am I a person who breaks his word? Of course, I should be rewarded for my meritorious service!"

Ksitigarbha was so moved that he immediately bowed to Yang Jun.

"Thank you, Mr. Yang!"

Yang Jun waved his hand and said to Ksitigarbha:
"Alright~ But let me make this clear from the start: the biggest rule in the gang is no drug dealing!"

"If you dare to disobey, you will be punished according to family rules, and it won't be as simple as just cutting off your fingers!"

Dizang nodded. He knew the rules: if the gang discovered drug trafficking, they would bury the victims alive, with no chance of survival!

However, since he was already a multi-millionaire and also trafficked in drugs, he immediately patted his chest and guaranteed it.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yang! I will strictly abide by the rules of the club."

Yang Jun nodded and smiled as he said to Ksitigarbha:
“You have made contributions to the organization, so we will give you a position. You will be promoted in the same batch as Ah-Ji.”

"Let me introduce you. This is Ah-Ji. Like you, he was just released from prison!"

Dizang looked at Aji next to Yang Jun. He was dressed in white clothes and pants, with white fur on his head. He had a blank face and sharp eyes. He was obviously not someone to be trifled with.

"Brother Ji, please take care of me in the future!"

"I'm treating everyone tonight at Caesars Nightclub, remember to come along."

Ksitigarbha had just made a fortune and been promoted to Red Pole, so of course he had to treat the brothers in the gang to a celebration, since they would all be colleagues from now on.

Yang Jun saw that Dizang's loyalty was rising steadily. This kid knew how to be grateful, and it quickly rose to over 80 points.

Aji is the same; his loyalty score is over 80. This is mainly because Yang Jun has arranged for people to take care of Aji in prison for the past two years, so Aji hasn't suffered much in prison.

After Yang Jun dismissed Ksitigarbha, he said to Aji:

"Go to the island nation and take out this target!"

Yang Jun took out a photo, pointed to an old man in it, and said with a smile.

"He's Daiki Takagi, the third-generation leader of the Yamada-gumi, the largest yakuza group in the island nation, and also the boss of Takahashi. What? Scared?"

The Yamada-gumi is the largest yakuza group in Japan, headquartered in Kobe, with at least 30,000 members.

When Aji heard that he was to assassinate the leader of the Yamada Group, his heart skipped a beat. It wasn't because he was afraid, but because he knew nothing about the island nation, was unfamiliar with the place, and didn't speak Japanese!
Yang Jun said with a smile:

“I won’t let you go alone, Ahua. Go to the special forces and pick a few people who can speak Japanese to go with Aji.”

Ahua nodded. Selecting a few people who could speak Japanese would be easy. Their special forces brigade also had language classes that taught English, French, Japanese, Spanish, and so on.

"Boss, I've always operated alone before and have never cooperated with anyone."

Ah-Ji was afraid that others would drag him down, after all, this was a very dangerous job, and if a bad teammate came along, it wouldn't be as simple as just dragging him down.

"Don't worry, the people assigned to you are all special forces soldiers, and their skills are no less than yours!"

"They just don't have experience as assassins, so you'll have to take them along!"

Yang Jun sent Aji to test him. If Aji could kill the third head of the Yamada Group, he would be considered one of his own!

A pledge of loyalty! That's the rule.
Why did they kill Takagi Daiki? The Yamada Group has been causing trouble for them time and time again. Do they really think they are easy targets?
Yang Jun planned to eliminate the problem completely, going all the way to the end, and directly eradicate the third generation of the Yamada Group, which would be enough to keep the Yamada Group in chaos for a while.

The next day, Aji and four other men flew to Kobe and entered the country legally. As soon as they exited the airport, two Chinese men came to pick them up. "Brother Aji, these are the things we prepared for you!"

Sitting in the van, one of Dafei's underlings handed me a bag and said very politely.

"These are all top-quality goods. Brother Fei instructed us to treat you well these next few days."

Ah-Ji glanced at the weapons in the bag: two pistols and two submachine guns. Most people would never find such weapons.

Dafei had clients in the island nation and arranged for a few underlings to sell arms in Kobe. For them, acquiring these guys was easier than drinking water or eating.

"No need for hospitality, we're used to coming and going alone."

Ah Ji politely declined Da Fei's offer, insisting that they stay at a hotel. Da Fei then smiled and said:

"Alright, we'll be going now."

After they left, Aji explained to the special forces soldiers around him:
"Kobe is the Yamada-gumi's stronghold. Who knows if any of them have been bribed? It's best to be careful!"

Ah Ji was very cautious and could only trust himself, and the other team members nodded in agreement.

"Brother Ji, we'll do whatever you say. Just tell us to do it, and we'll do it."

The four special forces members had already received orders that after arriving in Kobe, Japan, all their actions would be under the command of Aji.

Aji nodded, quite satisfied with the four soldiers; at least they wouldn't act on their own and hinder his progress. He said calmly:

"Let's find a hotel to stay in first, and tell everyone that we are businessmen who do trade."

Kobe was the largest port in the island nation in the 80s, with a large number of long-distance merchant fleets coming and going every day, so there was a large influx of people from outside the country. No one paid any attention to the presence of five men, including Aji.

Aji sent his Japanese-speaking team members out to scout out Kobe's main streets. After spending five or six days exploring Kobe's streets and alleys, they finally held their first meeting in the hotel.

"This is intelligence from above. Tian Gang Da Xiong goes to the company every morning at 7 o'clock to handle work. This is his route to work. Judging from this route, this Gongtian Street is a good place for us to make our move!"

Aji's assassination plan was straightforward: he simply blocked Tian Gang Da Xiong's convoy and brutally shot him.

"any questions?"

"no!"

The next day, Daiki Takagi walked out of the villa, got into a Mercedes-Benz W140 with two bodyguards, and went to work at the Yamada Group headquarters, 10 kilometers away, as usual.

Although the Yamada Group is the largest yakuza group in the island nation, its internal power is very fragmented, with each faction having its own agenda. Daio Tago can only control a portion of the Yamada Group's power, such as the Taiyo-kai, which is Tago's direct subordinate.

"Takahashi was attacked and killed in Hong Kong. It was done by Mr. Yang, the underground godfather of Hong Kong, who issued a kill order and assassinated Takahashi on the street."

Yamamoto Inabe, the leader, reported to Takashi Daio that he had received news that the Yamada Group's branch in Hong Kong had been wiped out, with only a few members escaping back to Kobe, Japan, while the rest had been shot dead.

Tian Gang Daxiong frowned, his face grim, and said:
"Damn it, this Mr. Yang is far too domineering. He killed so many of our people in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and now he's destroyed our base in Hong Kong. This is simply outrageous!"

Tian Gang Da Xiong slapped the car, his face turning frighteningly dark!

For the Yamada Group, this was a blatant declaration of war. The Hong Kong Triads had killed so many of their people; if they didn't retaliate, how could the Yamada Group maintain its foothold in East Asia?

"Pass down the order: the Yamada Group is officially declaring war on the Wah Lian Sheng! I want them to pay a bloody price!"

"Hey, I'll immediately convene the leaders of all the major organizations to discuss how to deal with Hong Kong and Luen Shing."

The Yamada-gumi is not a unified entity, but rather an alliance of hundreds of groups. The third generation leader is essentially the leader of the alliance, while the group leaders below each act independently, disliking each other and forming their own independent factions.

Takashi Daiki wanted to get a share of the pie in Hong Kong, but he was unexpectedly driven back by the powerful Wo Luen Shing. Not only was his trusted confidant Takahashi killed, but his prestige within the Yamada Group was also diminished.

At this moment, the vehicle had just entered Gongtian Street, and the number of vehicles on both sides gradually increased. The road was relatively narrow, making it most prone to traffic jams!
Suddenly, the driver slammed on the brakes, and the vehicle slid forward due to inertia.
Tian Gang Da Xiong lost his balance and fell forward due to inertia, his head hitting a seat in front of him.

"Baka! How do you drive?!"

Tian Gang Da Xiong angrily grabbed the driver's hair and slapped him across the face. The driver quickly explained:

"Sorry! The truck in front of us stopped suddenly, and we're stuck in traffic."

The driver was wronged. If he hadn't stopped suddenly, his vehicle would have crashed into the truck, and the impact would have been even more severe.

However, the driver didn't dare to argue with Tian Gang Da Xiong, so he was beaten for nothing and could only give a pathetic explanation.

Tian Gang and Da Xiong also noticed the large truck blocking their way. They were furious. The truck was stopped in the middle of the road and wouldn't move, blocking their Mercedes-Benz.

"You bastards! You two get out of the car and take a look!"

The driver and a bodyguard got out of the truck aggressively. The driver, in particular, looked fierce and grabbed a baseball bat, then banged it hard on the back of the truck.

"You bastard, get out here! How do you drive?"

Because the road was narrow, the driver and a bodyguard couldn't get through the truck's cab, so they could only vent their anger by smashing the truck's trunk.

The driver smashed the truck with even more force; he had just been beaten up by the big boss and was determined to get revenge on this unlucky truck driver.

The truck's trunk door slowly opened, and the driver and bodyguard's eyes lit up; they were about to rush up and give it a good beating.

The scene before them left the driver and bodyguard completely dumbfounded: four masked men stood in a row, each holding a gun, two submachine guns, and two pistols, all pointed at them.

"Baka! What the hell?"

The driver and bodyguard stared wide-eyed, frozen in place. What was going on?

Aji, dressed in white, curled his lips into a wicked smile and pulled the trigger of his submachine gun.

Da da da da da.
The driver and bodyguard standing outside the carriage were riddled with bullets. Their bodies shuddered, and then they collapsed in a pool of blood.

"Aaaaaah~ Murder!"

"Help!"

The onlookers, who were expecting a good show and hoping the truck driver would be beaten up, were instead shocked when four masked gunmen appeared in the truck.

The streets were thrown into chaos as people abandoned their vehicles and fled, or buryed their heads in the sand like ostriches.

Aji and the other three jumped off the truck, stepped over the body of the Yamada Group driver, and walked step by step toward Daikichi Tago.

"What should we do, Mr. Tian Gang!"

Tian Gang Da Xiong swallowed hard, his heart pounding with panic, but he forced himself to calm down.

"We can't go out. Get backup quickly! My car is bulletproof; it can hold out for a while longer!"

The bodyguard frantically made phone calls to the other leaders of the Yamada Group, asking them to come to their aid immediately, as the Third Boss had been attacked.

Tian Gang's aged face was filled with shock. Who was it?

His first thought was the Sumiyoshi Association, a hostile force of the island nation.
Or it could be an internal power struggle within the Yamada Group. These people are all possibilities. Overthrowing superiors is a traditional virtue in island nations, so it wouldn't be surprising at all!
