Hong Kong variety show: My Boss, Thirteen Sister

Chan Ho-nam drove, listening silently to what Brother Kei said, without arguing back, and even nodding in agreement.

Seeing that Chan Ho-nam agreed with his point of view, Brother Kei continued, "So, fighting is not an option, and not fighting is not an option either. We can only sit down and discuss it, and just pretend to do it!"

After speaking, Brother Kei looked at Chan Ho-nam, waiting for his reply.

"Aren't you afraid of Mr. Chiang finding out?" Chan Ho-nam asked, glancing at Brother Kei as he drove slowly.

"Will you tell Mr. Chiang?" Brother Kei looked at Chan Ho-nam, though he wasn't worried at all.

Chan Ho-nam glanced at Brother Kei, their eyes met, and he gently shook his head, saying, "No!"

"Haha!" Brother Ji laughed when he saw this, and Chan Ho-nam's lips also curled up slightly.

Both of them had their own agendas; one wanted to take advantage of the chaos, while the other harbored ulterior motives. However, they unexpectedly found themselves discussing how to deal with Jiang Lai.

After a short while, the two calmed down, and Chan Ho-nam drove towards Causeway Bay.

"Hao Nan, do you know why I asked you to come with me?" Brother Ji asked Chen Hao Nan.

"Why?" Chan Ho-nam asked calmly, without telling Brother Kei about his relationship with Jiang Lai.

“I saw it coming a long time ago…” Brother Ji paused for a moment.

Chan Ho-nam unconsciously tightened his grip on the steering wheel, glanced at Brother Kei, and asked expressionlessly, "What?"

“You’re exactly like me when I was young. Not only are you brave and daring, but you also value loyalty and righteousness. Most importantly, you know how to use your brain!” Brother Kei said to Chan Ho-nam with a look that said, “I’ve seen right through you.”

"Oh?" Chan Ho-nam felt relieved, raised an eyebrow at Brother Kei, and smiled slightly.

"You can't survive in this world by just fighting and killing!"

"I started working in the underworld when I was a teenager. Most of my peers have already failed, but I'm still doing very well. Do you know why?"

Chan Ho-nam glanced at him but didn't reply.

Brother Ji continued, "When you're out in the game, you have to use your brain and be quick-witted!"

"Those old bastards were a bunch of idiots, only thinking about making contributions to the gang. Whenever a fight broke out, they would charge in headfirst and get hacked to death in just a few blows!"

"But I'm different, because I know how to use my brain; when it's time to step up, I'm decisive, and when it's not, I keep a low profile!"

"Mm!" Chan Ho-nam nodded in agreement as he drove.

"For example, this time, Mr. Jiang insisted on attacking Jiang and ordered us to take action."

"When thousands of people are fighting in a chaotic melee, once they're in a frenzy, who the hell will care who you are?"

"Who knows, some punk might just pop out of nowhere, rush up and kill you with a single slash."

"Do you think it's worth it?"

Chan Ho-nam shook his head.

"Right? And even if we beat Jiang Lai, what then? In the end, our brothers below will be either dead or wounded, and we'll still have to deal with it ourselves."

"In this situation, we have to keep a low profile, don't you think?" Brother Kei was probably a little tired of talking, so he asked Chan Ho-nam one last question.

“That’s right!” Chan Ho-nam agreed, extending a hand and giving Brother Kei a thumbs up, saying, “I’m truly impressed by your words…!”

Chapter 182 A Restaurant with Backbone

Inside Jiang Tiansheng's villa, the Hung Hing gang leaders and the remaining elders all left.

"Ah Yao!" After everyone left, Jiang Tiansheng called out to Chen Yao, who was about to leave.

“Mr. Jiang!” Chen Yao stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at Jiang Tiansheng with a puzzled expression.

"Come and sit down!" Jiang Tiansheng beckoned to Chen Yao.

Chen Yao glanced at Jiang Tiansheng, then walked over and sat down in the chair next to Jiang Tiansheng.

"You don't agree with taking action against Jiang Lai either?" Jiang Tiansheng asked calmly.

Chen Yao shook his head slightly and said, "I'm just worried that if a fight breaks out, both sides will be injured, and then their gang will benefit from it."

"Hmm!" Jiang Tiansheng nodded noncommittally, then continued, "But now... things have come to this!"

"If we don't fight, how will Hung Hing maintain its standing in the underworld!"

After a pause, Jiang Tiansheng instructed Chen Yao, "Help me make an appointment with Uncle Deng and tell him I'd like to invite him for tea!"

"Also, let's give the police a heads-up!"

Chen Yao frowned slightly, but still nodded and replied, "Okay!"

As the gang's liaison officer, Chen Yao was mainly responsible for contacting other gang leaders for Jiang Tiansheng and frequently liaising with the police.

Chen Yao stood up, walked to the side, and took out his phone to his ear.

Jiang Tiansheng picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and gazed at Chen Yao's retreating figure, lost in thought.

A moment later, Chen Yao returned to Jiang Tiansheng's side.

"At eight o'clock tonight, at the Youguqi Restaurant, in the Yizi Hall!" Chen Yao said to Jiang Tiansheng.

"it is good!"

"Ah Bing!" Jiang Tiansheng beckoned to one of his two henchmen standing at the door.

Upon hearing Jiang Tiansheng's greeting, Ah Bing respectfully walked up to him, bowed slightly, and leaned in to say, "Mr. Jiang!"

"Make arrangements. We'll go to the 'Honest and Resolute' restaurant at 8 p.m.!" Jiang Tiansheng instructed casually.

"Understood!" Ah Bing nodded respectfully after hearing Jiang Tiansheng's instructions.

"Also," Jiang Tiansheng continued, "notify all the branches that none of the brothers should make any rash moves tonight."

Ah Bing accepted the order and left, leaving only Jiang Tiansheng and Chen Yao in the room.

Jiang Tiansheng silently sipped his tea, while Chen Yao stood quietly to the side, awaiting Jiang Tiansheng's next instructions.

"Ah Yao, I heard from the brothers downstairs that you recently moved to Repulse Bay?" Jiang Tiansheng asked casually.

Chen Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, but he still answered calmly, "Yes, Mr. Jiang!"

Jiang Tiansheng stared at him expressionlessly.

Chen Yao continued, "The environment is better over at Repulse Bay!"

"Hmm!" Jiang Tiansheng nodded, gave Chen Yao a meaningful look, and didn't say anything more.

She said with concern, "You've been busy with club matters lately, so I'm sorry to trouble you!"

"Of course!" Chen Yao replied calmly.

After giving a few words of advice, Chen Yao turned and left Jiang Tiansheng's villa.

After Chen Yao left, Jiang Tiansheng beckoned to his underlings and whispered a few instructions in their ear.

After a moment's thought, he took out his phone again and dialed the number once more.

As night falls, the restaurant with backbone remains!

There were fewer pedestrians on the street than usual, but the number of short mules near the restaurant was much higher than before.

The doors of the restaurant, Youguqi, were open, but a sign above them read "Temporarily Closed." Several of Wo Luen Shing's underlings stood guard at the entrance.

In the lobby on the first floor, tables and chairs were neatly arranged.

The few lights that were on overhead made the entire space appear even darker than usual.

Under the lamplight, only a few short mules sat around the table and chairs, whispering and talking to each other.

These people seemed to be divided into four groups, whispering to each other while remaining somewhat wary of the others.

The Hall of Righteousness is on the second floor!

As a restaurant with integrity, it uses one of the fewest rooms available, and it is generally not open to the public. It is only used when discussing business with the veterans of the Lian Sheng Group.

Inside the room, a large character for "righteousness" stands out prominently on the blood-red background wall. Below the character is a statue of Guan Yu, and in the incense burners to the left and right of the statue, sparks flicker at the tips of the incense sticks. As the sparks burn, wisps of smoke rise and fill the entire room.

Beneath the statue of Guan Gong, an eight-immortal table bearing the marks of time is placed steadily in the room.

In the dimly lit space, four figures sat around an eight-immortal table on the only four armchairs, each with a cup of blue and white porcelain tea in front of them.

These four people are none other than Deng Wei, the Supreme Elder of Wo Luen Shing, Jiang Tiansheng of Hung Hing, Camel of Tung Sing, and Ni Kun, the head of the Ni family!

Deng Wei sat back in the main seat under the statue of Guan Yu, his hands casually crossed over his abdomen, his gaze calm and unperturbed, as if he didn't care about anything, yet also as if he was in control of the whole situation.

Deng Wei was flanked by Camel and Ni Kun on his left and right, respectively, while Jiang Tiansheng sat opposite Deng Wei.

Ni Kun sat to Deng Wei's right, wearing a white shirt and a black vest. Although he had a gentle smile on his face, his eyes revealed a sharpness that should not be underestimated.

In terms of strength, Hung Hing, Tung Sing, and Wo Luen Shing are all top-tier triads in the underworld, while the Ni family could only be considered a second-rate triad at best.

However, after the Ni family acquired the territory in Tsim Sha Tsui, Ni Kun opened up a supply channel from Thailand and made a fortune in Tsim Sha Tsui.

After reaping substantial profits, the Ni family's power expanded rapidly. The number of its henchmen and peripheral members exceeded ten thousand, making them a near-first-class force.

"Jiang Lai is preparing to raise his flag in Causeway Bay, saying he wants to establish a Jiang Alliance!" Jiang Tiansheng took a sip of tea, his gaze calmly sweeping over the three of them, breaking the silence first.

"I hope everyone can join forces to deal with Jiang Lai!" Jiang Tiansheng said bluntly.

“Jiang Lai is a member of Hung Hing. If he wants to establish a banner, according to the rules of the underworld, shouldn’t it be Mr. Jiang who takes action?” Ni Kun said, glancing at Jiang Tiansheng.

The Ni family has taken over all the entertainment venues in Tsim Sha Tsui and has enough to make money. Before their strength is completely consolidated, Ni Kun does not want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

Although he had previously promised to kill Jiang Lai for Jiang Tiansheng.

But now and then.

The Ni family's power continued to grow, while Hung Hing suffered a significant setback. It can be said that Hung Hing's strength no longer makes Ni Kun feel afraid.

Jiang Tiansheng smiled slightly, as if he had expected Ni Kun's reaction. He shook his head gently and said, "Jiang Lai is a traitor to my Hung Hing, that cannot be denied."

"But if he wants to raise his banner, then everyone here taking action wouldn't be considered a violation of the code of chivalry!"

After saying that, Jiang Tiansheng turned to stare at Ni Kun and said in a calm tone, "Do you believe that if we don't take action against Jiang Lai now, the first thing he will do after he sets up his flag will be to attack Tsim Sha Tsui!"

Chapter 183 The Four Great Bosses Join Forces

"Do you know why Jiang Lai left Hung Hing?" Jiang Tiansheng asked, staring at Ni Kun.

Ni Kun remained silent, waiting for Jiang Tiansheng to continue.
