To be honest, Jiang Lai couldn't help but want to give Jiang Tiansheng a thumbs up.
If it weren't for his appearance, it wouldn't be unjust if Leung Kwan had been played to death by Chiang Tin-sang.
After all, Brother Kun still has a bit of a code of honor among gangsters.
However, even without Jiang Lai's appearance, it would still make sense for Jiang Tiansheng to be killed by crows later on.
People like Crow, who dare to trample on even Guan Yu, never play by the rules. In their eyes, rules and morality are nothing but bullshit.
Only those who uphold morality will be bound by rules; those who break the rules will be met with two "bangs!" from the trolls.
So what if it's a conspiracy, whether open or covert? What good is it?
Jiang Tiansheng's current move against Jiang Laiwan is a blatant and overt conspiracy.
In his view, as long as Jiang Lai and Thirteen Sister do not object, a piece of territory should be allocated to them in order to weaken their power!
If Jiang Lai and Thirteen Sister are unwilling, then that will suit his wishes even better.
This means that while Jiang Lai has completely broken ties with the Crown Prince, he will also face exclusion from others.
Therefore, no matter what choice Jiang Lai and Thirteen Sister make, he is the winner!
Seeing that Thirteen Sister was looking at Jiang Lai, Jiang Tiansheng asked Jiang Lai again, "Ah Lai, what do you say?"
Jiang Lai listened to Jiang Tiansheng's question but did not rush to answer. He glanced in the direction of the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince's expression became somewhat unnatural when he met Jiang Lai's gaze, and his eyes subconsciously darted away.
Just as he was at a loss, Jiang Lai stood up and calmly asked, "Young Master, Tsuen Wan, Jordan... Tsim Sha Tsui, which piece of land do you want?"
Jiang Lai's words, though brief, struck the Crown Prince like a thunderbolt.
"What?" The crown prince was stunned. His eyes widened, his mouth slightly open, and his face was full of astonishment.
Coming to his senses, the Crown Prince stared at Jiang Lai in astonishment, his voice trembling slightly as he asked incredulously, "You just said... Tsim Sha Tsui?"
"Okay!" Jiang Lai nodded.
“But…” The prince didn’t know what to say. Of course he wanted the territory in Tsim Sha Tsui, after all, it was the territory he had built up over many years and the culmination of his hard work.
But Tsim Sha Tsui is now someone else's territory, so what choice does he have?
The Crown Prince didn't quite understand what Jiang Lai meant.
Even the others looked at Jiang Lai with blank expressions.
“Mr. Jiang, I have no objection to the addition of two new branches in Jordan and Tsuen Wan!” Jiang Lai said casually to Jiang Tiansheng.
After a pause, Jiang Lai looked around and continued, "But...shouldn't we take back the territory in Tsim Sha Tsui?"
Jiang Lai’s seemingly casual words carried a strong sense of pressure, as if taking back Tsim Sha Tsui was a matter of course.
Jiang Tiansheng narrowed his eyes and frowned slightly.
Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Lai continued, "Brother Prince has been the boss of Tsim Sha Tsui for so many years. I think it's better to give Tsim Sha Tsui back to him than to let him start over elsewhere."
What do you think?
The smile on Jiang Tiansheng's face gradually disappeared, and his expression became serious.
He turned his head and glanced at the Crown Prince, only to see that the Crown Prince was also looking at him with hopeful eyes.
Chapter 172 The Crown Prince's Wrath
Although the Crown Prince did not speak, it was clear from his expression that he was more interested in Jiang Lai's proposal.
Having spent so many years in Tsim Sha Tsui, he naturally coveted the area.
Jiang Tiansheng frowned, looking at Jiang Lai with a deep expression, and asked in return, "What do you want to do?"
"If we lose the place, we can just get it back, right?" Jiang Lai said casually.
"Easy for you to say..." Fatty Li picked his nose and muttered under his breath.
Although his voice was soft, everyone heard it.
Jiang Lai turned his head and glanced at him, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Fatty Li met Jiang Lai's gaze and, recalling the fear of being dominated by Jiang Lai, couldn't help but shudder.
Jiang Lai withdrew his gaze and ignored him.
"Ah Lai!" Chen Yao said to Jiang Lai upon seeing this, "Everyone knows that Ah Le and his men swept up the Crown Prince's territory, but Ah Le and Big D are already dead..."
At this point, Chen Yao paused, glanced at Jiang Lai, and continued, "After Ah Lok and Big D died, Tsim Sha Tsui was in chaos, with all sorts of triads wanting a piece of the pie."
"In the end, Tsim Sha Tsui was controlled by the Ni family."
"It won't be that easy to take back our territory in Tsim Sha Tsui!" Chen Yao said, shaking his head.
He was not very supportive of Jiang Lai's suggestion to take back the territory in Tsim Sha Tsui.
"What do you think?" Jiang Tiansheng asked the other hall masters.
The others looked at each other in bewilderment.
"I heard the Ni family has swept through all the venues in Tsim Sha Tsui!" Wang Jian, the head of FIT in Chai Wan District, interjected.
“It’s easier to manage if they’re all the same color!” Tai Yu from Kwun Tong District chimed in.
"Now that Tsim Sha Tsui is in the hands of the Ni family, it won't be easy to take back Prince's territory!"
"Yes!"
"Everyone's out here trying to make a living, it's all the same no matter where you are."
"Why fight and kill when there's new territory!"
"Yes!"
...........
The other leaders were also discussing the matter, and most of them were against taking back Tsim Sha Tsui.
After the Ni family took control of Tsim Sha Tsui, they are now riding high.
The current conflict with the Ni family is different from the conflict with some smaller gangs outside.
To take over Tsim Sha Tsui from the Ni family, it would probably have to be another chaotic battle involving thousands of people.
Moreover, even if they get the land in Tsim Sha Tsui back, what good will it do them?
As he listened to the crowd's chatter, the Crown Prince's face grew increasingly grim, his patience reaching its limit.
"enough!!"
The crown prince stood up and roared angrily.
Everyone was startled. In an instant, they all fell silent and turned to look at the Crown Prince.
The prince's sharp gaze swept over the crowd: "In the past, when any branch encountered trouble, didn't I always provide both manpower and resources?"
"What do you mean by this?"
"Don't get agitated, Your Highness!" Da Yu advised the Crown Prince, "We're just discussing the matter at hand!"
"Let's stick to the facts?" The Crown Prince turned to look at Da Yu.
"Okay, then I'll discuss this with you."
"Years ago, you owed Fatty a gambling debt and were being chased and attacked. Who helped you settle things?" The Crown Prince stared intently at Da Yu and asked, word by word.
"It's me!" the crown prince shouted, pointing at himself.
"Without me, you'd be fucking dead by now. Are you trying to talk to me about the facts?" The Crown Prince's sharp gaze was fixed on him.
Faced with the Crown Prince's sharp gaze, Da Yu swallowed hard, subconsciously averted his eyes, and lowered his head without saying another word.
The resources come from the Internet and are only used for learning and communication. The copyright of the novel resources belongs to the original author
The crown prince turned his gaze away from Da Yu and looked at the others.
The people who had just spoken all avoided the Crown Prince's gaze.
The Crown Prince was a man of great loyalty and righteousness, and many people had received his help.
Seeing that everyone was avoiding him, the crown prince said no more.
Finally, he turned his gaze to Jiang Tiansheng and calmly asked, "Mr. Jiang, I would like to ask if I, the Crown Prince, have ever shortchanged the company by even a single penny each month?"
"No!" Jiang Tiansheng replied calmly.
"Is the territory in Tsim Sha Tsui a branch of Hung Hing?" the prince continued to press.
"Yes!"
"Since Tsim Sha Tsui is Hung Hing's territory, why is it that when my territories were raided and my brothers were killed or injured, the triad did nothing?"
As he said this, the prince's voice involuntarily rose.
Jiang Tiansheng remained silent.
"what?"
"Tell me why?" The Crown Prince roared, his eyes bloodshot as he stared intently at Jiang Tiansheng.
He clenched his fists and braced them on the table, veins bulging on his forehead, his teeth clenched, as if he wanted to vent all the injustice and anger he had recently suffered.
Upon seeing the Crown Prince's condition, Jiang Tiansheng couldn't help but frown.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Tiansheng still spoke up: "As you know, the Yau Tsim Mong area, Tsuen Wan, Jordan, and even the entire Hong Kong Island were in complete chaos a while ago."
“Besides Tsim Sha Tsui, street fights are also common in other areas.”
"what is the reason?"
Jiang Tiansheng glanced around and his gaze landed on Jiang Lai. "Because Wo Luen Shing led men into Tsim Sha Tsui, our Hung Hing also took over Jordan and Tsuen Wan."
Shifting his gaze from Jiang Lai, Jiang Tiansheng continued speaking to the crowd: "Although it's normal for us to fight and kill each other when we're out in the world!"
"Today you take my territory, tomorrow I take yours. We're all just trying to make a living, so we each rely on our own abilities. There's nothing more to say!"
"But there is a bottom line to everything."
“If you cross the line, something terrible will happen, do you understand?” Jiang Tiansheng said, then looked at the Crown Prince and asked rhetorically.
