Hong Kong variety show: My Boss, Thirteen Sister

The younger brother swallowed hard and nodded to Jiang Tiansheng to confirm.

"Who did this?" Jiang Tiansheng asked with a gloomy expression.

"I don't know, Fatty Li had just stepped out with Shengfan when Shengfan's head was smashed!" the underling honestly replied.

Jiang Tiansheng fell silent, seemingly lost in thought, staring at the ground for a long time without uttering a word.

The younger brother stood next to Jiang Tiansheng, not daring to breathe loudly.

"Where is Jiang Lai?" Jiang Tiansheng asked his underling after thinking for a while.

"At...at the door!" the underling replied nervously upon hearing Jiang Tiansheng's question.

"Where's Fatty Li?" Jiang Tiansheng continued to ask.

"It's still at the door!" the younger brother continued to reply.

"Is he alright?" Jiang Tiansheng then asked his underling.

"He's fine, it's just..." The younger brother seemed hesitant to speak.

"What is it? Speak!" Jiang Tiansheng said impatiently.

"He...he was so scared he peed his pants!" the younger brother said, wanting to laugh but not daring to.

"Scared to death?" Jiang Tiansheng looked up at his underling in disbelief after hearing his words.

"Yes!" The younger brother nodded, indicating that he was not lying.

Jiang Tiansheng remained silent for a moment.

Hey!

Jiang Tiansheng let out a long breath, feeling a bit tired for a moment. He pointed to the door and, with a helpless tone, continued to instruct his underling, "Go, call Jiang Lai in!"

"Huh? Oh, okay!" the younger brother replied quickly after hearing Jiang Tiansheng's words.

"Come on... Brother Lai, Mr. Jiang wants you to come in!" The underling ran to Jiang Lai's side, lowered his head, and whispered.

"Hmm?" Jiang Lai narrowed his eyes, then nodded and followed his underling inside.

"Mr. Jiang, you wanted to see me?" Jiang Lai asked calmly as he saw Jiang Tiansheng sitting in the chair.

"Jiang Lai, you've gone too far!" Jiang Tiansheng stared at Jiang Lai and said with an unfriendly expression.

He knew that Jiang Lai's actions were undoubtedly an expression of dissatisfaction, but such behavior had crossed his bottom line.

"I don't quite understand what Mr. Jiang means!" Jiang Lai said calmly without saying much more.

Chapter 70 Jiang Lai's Dialogue with Jiang Tiansheng

"Is it because the savages came out to choose from you, and you were dissatisfied?" Jiang Tiansheng looked at Jiang Lai and said with a gloomy face.

“Mr. Jiang, you seem to have misunderstood something. I have never minded who would choose me for the position of leader of Causeway Bay!” Jiang Laiyu replied calmly and confidently.

"Then why did you kill him, especially at the entrance of the Hung Hing branch!" Jiang Tiansheng pointed to the entrance, somewhat dissatisfied with Jiang Lai's attitude, and raised his voice slightly.

"Mr. Jiang, don't wrong me. We're all in this together. What does it have to do with me if Shengfan offends someone and wants to kill him?" Jiang Lai wasn't stupid enough to admit that he was the one who hired someone to kill Shengfan.

"Fine!" Jiang Tiansheng pursed his lips, a hint of exasperation in his smile. He nodded, suppressing his anger, and stared at Jiang Lai, saying in a gloomy tone, "So you're dissatisfied with me, and dissatisfied with Hung Hing?"

“Mr. Jiang, I can’t accept this label. I have never had any complaints about you or Hung Hing!” Jiang Lai replied to Jiang Tiansheng very seriously.

"Jiang Lai, I've always thought highly of you. You're a good fighter, loyal, and you get along well with the other brothers in the gang. You've also done a lot for the gang. I know all of that!" Jiang Tiansheng said earnestly as he listened to Jiang Lai's emotional appeal.

Jiang Lai didn't speak, but simply nodded in agreement, signaling Jiang Tiansheng to continue.

"I believe the 'Shengfan' can't compete with you for the position of leader of Causeway Bay. It's a sure thing, so why are you doing this? Is it worth it?" Jiang Tiansheng said to Jiang Lai earnestly.

Jiang Lai understood what Jiang Tiansheng meant. He was saying that killing the savage would not only be of no benefit to his fight for the leadership of Causeway Bay, but would also cause other bosses, including Jiang Tiansheng himself, to change their opinion of him.

"Mr. Jiang, what do you think is the most important thing for us when we're out in the game?" Jiang Lai didn't answer Jiang Tiansheng directly, but instead looked at Jiang Tiansheng seriously.

Seeing that Jiang Tiansheng did not speak, Jiang Lai continued, "Loyalty? Face? Money? I don't deny those, but the most important thing to me is conscience!"

"Conscience?... Heh." Jiang Tiansheng was a little surprised when he heard Jiang Lai's words, then smiled disdainfully.

"It's ridiculous, isn't it!" Jiang Lai replied nonchalantly, and continued, "That's just the kind of person I am. If someone is kind to me, I will repay them a hundredfold."

Jiang Tiansheng remained silent, his mocking expression vanishing, and looked at Jiang Lai intently.

"You know, my sister treats me like her own brother and takes good care of me," Jiang said, making it sound like a casual remark.

Then he continued, "So the Flower Buddha of the United Alliance died, and the Crow of the East Star also died. Silly Qiang threatened Sister Mei, and he also didn't see the sun rise the next day. Even his boss Liang Kun's venue and business were all wiped out by me."

Jiang Lai spoke slowly and without any excitement; he was simply stating a fact.

"So, you killed the barbarian just because of Thirteen Sister?" Jiang Tiansheng's tone was filled with disbelief, and he looked at Jiang Lai with some shock: 'Just because he glared at Thirteen Sister just now?'

Jiang Tiansheng had considered many possibilities for Jiang Lai to kill the savages, but he never expected Jiang Lai to give such an answer. He stared at Jiang Lai in disbelief, as if he had never really seen this person clearly before.

"Mr. Jiang, would you mind having a cigarette?" Jiang Lai asked politely.

Without waiting for Jiang Tiansheng's reply, Jiang Lai casually lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

"Do as you please!" Jiang Tiansheng didn't mind, but his expression returned to calm as he looked Jiang Lai over again.

"Mr. Jiang, do you know that since I came into this world, not many people have cared about me? Of course, not many people have cared about me either, but I cherish every bond I have with you!" Jiang Lai said with some emotion.

Jiang Tiansheng felt a little confused when he heard Jiang Lai's words, but he did not interrupt Jiang Lai.

"Well, Sister Mei is my first bond in this world, so I won't allow anyone to hurt her, not even the slightest possibility!" Jiang Lai said this with a very serious tone.

"Just because Thirteen Sister is your boss?" Jiang Tiansheng still didn't understand Jiang Lai's words, thinking that Thirteen Sister was his boss, which was why he did this.

“No, you don’t understand. This has nothing to do with her identity,” Jiang Lai said naturally, then continued, “Whether she is my boss or not, whether she is a boss of Hung Hing or not, I would do the same thing.”

"Why? Could it be that you have feelings for Thirteen Sister...?" Jiang Tiansheng really couldn't understand why Jiang Lai did this, and could only think of one possible reason.

Hearing Jiang Tiansheng's words, Jiang Lai glanced at his expression, rolled his eyes, and felt that all his words had been in vain. He could only say helplessly, "It's not what you think. This kind of feeling has nothing to do with identity, status, money, or even her gender."

Before Jiang Tiansheng could speak, Jiang Lai continued, "You can think of it as a kind of family affection!"

"Family ties?" Jiang Tiansheng was increasingly confused as he listened, looking at Jiang Lai with a puzzled expression.

"Hmm!" Jiang Lai nodded in agreement. He really didn't know how to express it, so he could only give Jiang Tiansheng this general idea.

“Fine, even if it’s for the sake of family, do you know this is the headquarters of Hung Hing, and besides, he’s one of Hung Hing’s own people?” Jiang Tiansheng didn’t want to care about Jiang’s talk of family anymore, and asked in a somewhat reproachful tone.

"So what?" Jiang Lai looked at Jiang Tiansheng without backing down and answered calmly.

Ha ha!

Jiang Tiansheng smiled at Jiang Lai's answer, a very sinister smile.

"So what? Jiang Lai, do you know that you've crossed the line? This is the headquarters of Hung Hing. Sheng Fan died here, shot right at the entrance. What will the other gangs think of us?" Jiang Tiansheng was very dissatisfied with Jiang Lai's answer. His body, which was suppressing his anger, began to tremble, and he spoke in a gloomy tone with murderous intent.

Seeing that Jiang Lai did not respond, he stood there calmly, like a withered tree.

Jiang Tiansheng was somewhat exasperated and continued, "The death of the barbarians must be explained."

Jiang Tiansheng glanced at Jiang Lai's expression and continued, "Otherwise, we won't be able to explain this to outsiders, and it won't be right even within Hung Hing. Don't force me to do things, you understand, Jiang Lai?"

“Mr. Jiang, I said, the death of the barbarians has nothing to do with me!” Jiang Lai ignored Jiang Tiansheng’s face, which was already as black as it could possibly be.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, although it has nothing to do with me, he died at the gate of Hung Hing, right when he stood up to compete with me for the leadership of Causeway Bay. To prove my innocence, I helped him find the murderer. Isn't that fulfilling my duty as a fellow member of the same sect?"

Chapter 71 Framed?

Jiang Lai looked completely innocent and shrugged.

Jiang Lai's meaning was already very clear: he would not admit to the death of Sheng Fan, but finding a scapegoat would at least give everyone an explanation.

snort!

“No ordinary person would be so bold as to kill someone in Hung Hing’s territory!” Jiang Tiansheng understood Jiang Lai’s words, snorted coldly, and said with an unfriendly expression.

Jiang Lai understood what Jiang Tiansheng meant: don't just find a henchman to cause trouble; that's not a valid argument.

Jiang Lai nodded in agreement.

"I heard that Fatty Li has been getting very close to Lei Yaoyang of Dongxing lately. Coupled with his unusual behavior towards Shengfan, do you think they might be working together to frame me?" Jiang Lai did not deny Jiang Tiansheng's words, but asked in return with a thoughtful expression.

"Hmm?" Jiang Tiansheng squinted at Jiang Lai.

"Is that possible, Mr. Jiang?" Jiang Lai raised his eyelids and continued to ask Jiang Tiansheng.

“Fatty Li has never done anything wrong to Thirteen Sister!” Jiang Tiansheng said earnestly, worried that Jiang Lai might kill Fatty Li as well.

"So he's alive and well, isn't he?" Jiang Lai said matter-of-factly.

"So you're planning to target Lei Yaoyang of Dongxing?" Jiang Tiansheng asked Jiang Lai in a serious tone.

"If he really is the murderer, I think he will get what he deserves!" Jiang Lai neither admitted nor denied it, but simply said calmly.

Jiang Tiansheng nodded.

“Fine, but this time it’s your own business, the gang won’t get involved!” Jiang Tiansheng said with a warning tone.

Jiang Lai understood what he meant: no matter what the situation, don't expect the gang to step in and solve the problem.

"Hmm!" Jiang Lai nodded casually.

“Now that the bastard is dead, no one in Causeway Bay will be competing with you anymore. Find the murderer, and you can take over!” Jiang Tiansheng said to Jiang Lai with a tone that was both helpless and admiring.

Jiang Lai nodded indifferently, looked at Jiang Tiansheng, and then continued, "Mr. Jiang, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now!"

Jiang Tiansheng ignored Jiang Lai and waved his hand helplessly, signaling him to leave quickly.

Jiang Lai shrugged and turned to walk outside.

"How was it, Jiang? Mr. Jiang didn't give you any trouble, did he?" As soon as Jiang Lai walked out of the conference room, Thirteen Sister immediately stepped forward and asked.

Jiang Lai smiled with relief, then said to Thirteen Sister, "Of course, Mr. Jiang just wanted to ask me who killed the barbarian!"

“Then…” Thirteen Sister looked at Jiang Lai with a worried expression.

"Alright, Sister, don't worry, it's nothing serious!" Jiang Lai said, comforting Thirteen Sister who looked worried.

As Jiang Lai and Thirteen Sister were talking, Han Bin and Dinosaur came to their side again.

"You little rascal, you dress so elegantly every day, but your methods are so ruthless!" Han Bin looked at Jiang Lai as if he were an alien, as if he were meeting him for the first time, and said with a touch of emotion.

"Alright, Bin-ge, don't you know what kind of person I am?" Jiang Lai said to Han Bin, somewhat speechless. Then he turned to look at the dinosaur: "Your little brother is dead, aren't you heartbroken?"
