Hong Kong film: Starts with a ghost on his back, his henchmen are all underworld minions.

"Then we can reap the benefits, and even have people spread rumors within Dongxing to remove Su Zhe from his position as leader."

A sinister glint flashed in Snake Boy's eyes.

After listening, Jiang Tiansheng pondered for a moment and nodded: "Good idea. This way we can avoid direct confrontation with Dongxing and create internal strife."

The problem is, who will be the scapegoat?

“The Number Gang,” Snake said without hesitation. “The Number Gang has always had conflicts with Tung Sing. We can sow discord among them, offer them some benefits, and let them harass Tung Sing.”

"This will create internal strife within the East Star gang, and also sacrifice the Number Gang. A double kill."

Jiang Tiansheng's eyes lit up, overjoyed, feeling that this method was feasible: "Great! Let's do it this way! Snake Boy, what's their boss's name again? Find out and give me his phone number, I'll contact him right away!"

"Yes, sir!"

After Jiang Tiansheng got the number from Ah Ming, the leader of the number gang, he took a deep breath and dialed the number.

The call was quickly connected, and Ah Ming's voice came through the receiver: "Hello? Who is it?"

Jiang Tiansheng smiled and said, "Brother A-Ming, this is Jiang Tiansheng. How have you been lately?"

Upon hearing that it was someone from Hung Hing, Ah Ming's tone immediately became polite: "Oh, it's Brother Tian Sheng! I've been doing alright lately, just quite busy managing gang affairs. Did Brother Tian Sheng need something from me?"

Jiang Tiansheng feigned concern and said, "I heard that your number gang hasn't been doing too well lately, so I wanted to chat with you and see if there's anything I can do to help."

Ah Ming immediately said, "Hey, Brother Tian Sheng, you know too? Our Number Gang has been having some trouble lately. It's mainly because those guys from Dong Xing have become arrogant lately, bullying our small gang everywhere and even seizing some of our territory. They're completely lawless!"

Jiang Tiansheng deliberately said, "Really? Those guys from Dongxing have really become arrogant lately, they don't know their own limitations! I heard they want to take over your Number Gang and make you their underlings, directly under their command."

Ah Ming immediately became excited: "What! They want to swallow up our Number Gang? To become their underlings? No way! The Number Gang has always been independent and will never take orders from anyone! Brother Tian Sheng, don't worry, even if the world turns upside down, we will never surrender and let Tung Sing swallow us up!"

Jiang Tiansheng chuckled inwardly, but outwardly feigned concern, saying, "Is that so? Your Number Gang brothers have such a strong bond. But Dongxing is powerful now, and if you fight them alone, you might suffer. How about we discuss some ways to counterbalance Dongxing and prevent your Number Gang from being bullied?"

Ah Ming excitedly said, "Great! Whatever method you suggest, we at Number Gang will definitely cooperate fully!"

Jiang Tiansheng smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll talk about it in detail another time. Take care of yourself first, and don't hesitate to ask if you need anything."

Ah Ming thanked them repeatedly, and the two hung up the phone.

Jiang Tiansheng chuckled inwardly: Just as he expected, Ah Ming's personality was so easily provoked that using him to target Dongxing would be no problem at all.

With just a little manipulation, offering him some seemingly tempting benefits, he will take the bait and actively seek trouble with Tung Sing.

With Ah Ming's involvement, Tung Sing will inevitably fall into chaos and be unable to form a united front, thus making it impossible for them to stop Hung Hing's expansion.

All of this was under Jiang Tiansheng's control. He sat calmly, waiting for things to develop, ready to reap the benefits.

……

On the other side, after the inauguration ceremony of Dongxing was completed, Su Zhe officially took over as the head of Dongxing Society and delivered a speech on stage.

On stage, Su Zhe delivered a splendid speech: "Brothers, today I, Su Zhe, officially become the new leader of Dongxing. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts over the years, and I first want to thank you all for your support and assistance over the years. I will certainly carry forward Dongxing's fine traditions and, with a benevolent heart, lead everyone to create a glorious new era for Dongxing! (Li Dede)"

A burst of enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted from the audience, and all the brothers of Dongxing were immersed in joy.

Only Hengmei looked disdainful and snorted coldly: "Hmph, a mere nobody dares to take over as leader. It's truly the twilight of the martial world, with petty thieves and scoundrels everywhere!"

Situ Haonan, standing beside him, frowned and asked in a low voice, "Brother Hengmei, why are you doing this? Su Zhe's appointment as leader is the result of our brothers' unanimous recommendation. Why are you saying this?"

His brows furrowed, and he lowered his voice, saying, "Brother Situ, I really can't stand this Su Zhe! He was just a newcomer a few years ago, how could he have risen to the top position? Clearly, someone is sabotaging him behind the scenes!"

Chapter 256 Undercurrent

Upon hearing this, Situ Haonan vaguely guessed what was going on and pressed, "Brother Hengmei, what do you mean by that? Is someone causing trouble behind the scenes?"

A sinister glint flashed in his eyes as he said in a low voice, "You and I have been veterans of Dongxing for many years, so we know this best. A few days ago, Camel Dragon returned from drinking with me, and he had already seen through Su Zhe's ambition. I'm afraid he wants to take my place."

"So Camel Dragon Head hinted to me that in the future we might need to rely on the strength of you and me to counterbalance Su Zhe. After a few rounds of drinks that day, Camel Dragon Head had already explained most of the matter."

Upon hearing this, Situ Haonan vaguely sensed something amiss, but maintained a smile on his face: "Brother Hengmei, I understand your concerns. But Dongxing has always been a nomination system; the greater one's strength and contribution, the greater the chance of becoming the leader."

"The reason why Brother Su Zhe was able to become the new leader is that his qualifications and achievements are unmatched. If you and I want to surpass him, we can only rely on our own efforts."

He snorted and lowered his head, pondering for about 510 seconds, seemingly considering Situ Haonan's words.

Situ Haonan, however, turned his gaze back to the stage, his face still bearing a calm smile, but his heart was in turmoil—

So that's how it is. The former leader, Camel, saw through Su Zhe's ambition and had already laid a trap within Dongxing!

Whether Su Zhe taking over as leader is a blessing or a curse remains to be seen. I will wait and see how things develop, and when the time is right, I will make my own move!

As Su Zhe's speech on stage drew to a close, he said with great enthusiasm, "I would like to thank everyone again for your support over the years! Let us work together to create a glorious legend for Dongxing!"

"Long live Su Zhe!"

"Long live Dongxing!"

The Dongxing brothers in the audience cheered enthusiastically, expressing their highest respect for the new leader.

Su Zhe was secretly pleased. Tung Sing had now regrouped and was poised to unify Hong Kong in no time!

After Su Zhe's speech, it was time for the usual banquet to entertain his brothers.

Su Zhe announced, "Brothers, to celebrate my official appointment as the new leader of Tung Sing, I have booked a private room at the most upscale restaurant in Hong Kong. Please join me for a banquet tonight to celebrate the rebirth of Tung Sing!"

The hall masters and underlings present all expressed their agreement and enthusiastically responded to Su Zhe's warm invitation. Only Hengmei looked disdainful and said loudly, "I'm already full, I'm not going to join this fun!"

Jimmy couldn't stand it any longer and pointed at Hengmei, angrily scolding, "Hengmei, how can you be so disrespectful? The boss is treating you to a meal; you should go respectfully!"

Upon hearing this, Hengmei flew into a rage, stood up, pointed at Jimmy, and roared, "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that? Believe me or not, I'll break your legs right now!"

Su Zhe frowned, reached out to stop Jimmy, and said calmly, "Today, I, Su Zhe, officially become the leader of Tung Sing. Attending my banquet is a sign of respect for me, Su Zhe, and also an indication of your acceptance of me as the new leader. If anyone here thinks I am not suitable to be the leader, or wants to oppose Tung Sing, they can stand up and say so now."

After speaking, Su Zhe stared at Hengmei with lightning-fast eyes and asked, "(bibh) I wonder if Brother Hengmei would do me the honor of attending my banquet?"

Everyone present silently turned their gaze to Hengmei, who felt his legs go weak and was sweating profusely.

He knew that if he publicly refused the leader's invitation to the banquet, it would be tantamount to openly turning against Su Zhe, which would be equivalent to openly betraying Dongxing, and the consequences would be catastrophic.

With a forced, awkward smile, he said, "Boss, you're joking. As the head of the hall, how could I possibly miss your banquet? Even if I'm stuffed, I still have to attend. It's my responsibility to Dongxing."

Su Zhe smiled, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Jimmy whispered to Su Zhe, "Boss, I almost burst out laughing when I saw that embarrassed look on his face. You were absolutely brilliant at dealing with him!"

Su Zhe smiled slightly and remained silent.

He knew that Hengmei had already harbored resentment and would definitely try every means to oppose him in the future.

However, with Hengmei's abilities, what kind of storms could he possibly create?

Rather, Su Zhe actually hoped that Heng Mei would do something outrageous immediately, so that he would have an excuse to take him down!

After the banquet began, Su Zhe deliberately targeted Hengmei, frequently raising his glass to clink glasses with him, and each time he made Hengmei drink a whole glass of strong liquor.

Hengmei was not good at drinking, and with Su Zhe forcing him to drink repeatedly, he quickly became completely drunk.

His face was oily, his eyes were glazed, and his body swayed from side to side, as if he might fall to the ground at any moment.

But Hengmei, suppressing his heavy drunkenness, tried his best to stay sober.

He knew that if he revealed that he was drunk in such a situation, he would become the object of ridicule and make fun of everyone, and he would lose all face.

So he glared and gritted his teeth, gripping the edge of the table tightly with both hands, struggling to support his body.

Whenever Su Zhe raised his glass to toast him again, he would force himself to stay alert and drink it all in one gulp.

Then he would shake his head vigorously, trying to clear his head.

Chapter 257 Rage and Hatred

But the effects of the strong liquor were getting stronger, and Hengmei's mind was completely in a state of confusion.

His vision was blurred, and all he could hear was the clinking of glasses and the boisterous laughter of the crowd.

He could barely distinguish east from west and north, and could only maintain his sitting posture by instinct.

Several times, Hengmei almost fell to the ground, but luckily she was caught by the people around her.

Cold sweat beaded on his furrowed brow; he knew he couldn't hold on any longer.

But to save face, he struggled to sit up, pretending nothing was wrong, and solemnly raised his glass to toast and drink with the others.

The humiliation overwhelmed him; he wished he could smash his head against the table and die rather than look so pathetic.

At this moment, Su Zhe stood up, raised his glass and shouted: "I would like to thank all my brothers for your support and assistance over the years! Let us carry forward the glorious tradition of Tung Sing, prosper and make Tung Sing the number one gang in Hong Kong!"

"Long live the dragon head!"

"Long live Dongxing!" came a rousing cheer from the audience.

Su Zhe raised his glass and delivered a passionate speech to the brothers present.

Amidst enthusiastic applause and cheers, Su Zhe's speech came to an end.

At this moment, Hengmei barely sobered up from his drunken state, stood up shakily, and also raised his glass.

He knew that he had to show support and loyalty to Su Zhe at this time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just as Hengmei was about to speak, he suddenly stumbled and fell forward. Before anyone could react, there was a loud bang, and Hengmei had crashed heavily to the ground, his two red buttocks sticking up high.

"Hahahaha..." Everyone present burst into laughter, pointing and mocking Hengmei.

He was filled with shame and embarrassment, his face flushed red, but he couldn't get up no matter what he did. That fall had sobered him up considerably.

"You damn scoundrel, you're so drunk and you still dare to pretend to be sober! Get up now!" someone said contemptuously.

"Haha, how can a drunkard like him become a hall master in the future?" someone else mocked.
