Chapter 57: Lei's Industrial Group's Entry Confirmed; The Profits Must Be Received
“Of course my boss wants to talk!” Longhair said, gesturing for them to follow. “Boss Sandman, please come with us to the reserved private room!”
Dongguan boy whispered to the waiter at the hotel entrance, "It's a private room that Mr. Sima Xiang reserved. He asked me to come down and pick him up."
Upon hearing this, the waiter, who was still debating whether to stop the sand bug, stepped aside.
Seeing this, Sandman was secretly surprised, thinking that Big D was actually doing so well.
After Longhair and his men brought Sandman to the private room and sat down, they immediately arranged for the hotel to start serving the dishes.
After sitting down, Sha Meng's eyes sharpened, and he questioned, "Where's Big D? Why didn't he come over, but instead left the two of you here? Is he looking down on me?"
Longhair remained calm and explained with a smile, "Our boss is entertaining distinguished guests next door. He'll naturally come over here once he's finished."
Dongguan Boy, with keen observation, poured Sha Meng a cup of tea, about seven-tenths full. "Boss Sha Meng, don't worry. Big D invited you to the Peninsula Hotel, which shows his sincerity in wanting to talk. However, he can't get away, so we'll wait while we eat."
As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face. Sandman thought it made sense; if Big D didn't want to talk, he wouldn't have changed the address to the Peninsula Hotel.
These short mules had basically never been to such a high-end hotel before. Since someone was willing to be a sucker, Sha Meng immediately told his underlings to eat and drink to their hearts' content.
However, after a few rounds of drinks, Sandman gradually realized something was wrong.
Whenever he asked when Big D would come over, Long Hair and Dongguan Boy would always change the subject and avoid the topic.
"Bang!" Sandman slammed his hand on the table and stood up, questioning, "Isn't Big D taking me too lightly? He's been keeping me hanging here, does he really think I'm made of clay?"
Longhair looked at Sandman with a cold face, "I advise you to sit down and wait for Big D to finish his work before talking about your business, otherwise you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
Upon hearing Longhair's words, Sandfly reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "What did you say? I want to see what Big D is up to next door!"
After saying that, Sha Meng and his henchmen stormed out of the private room and headed to the next room.
"Bang~"
Sha Meng burst into Lei Hao's private room, leading his henchmen inside.
They were all burly and fierce-looking, like a herd of bulls that had stormed into a china shop.
Seeing his target, Big D, sitting near the door, Sandman walked towards him without thinking.
"Big D, you bastard, you stood me up!"
"Explain your brother Lanming Hua's affair clearly, and you won't be leaving the Peninsula Hotel alive today!"
Under the influence of alcohol, Sandman made some harsh remarks, completely forgetting that he was in the Peninsula Hotel.
His underlings, who were dining at the Peninsula Hotel for the first time, couldn't resist the fine wines on the table and drank quite a bit as well.
Now, they're all caught up in the excitement of Sandman's words, and they've completely forgotten who they are.
In the private sea-view room, the crystal chandelier reflected a cool light.
The originally harmonious atmosphere of clinking glasses and exchanging toasts has completely vanished.
Instead, the air became stagnant, as if filled with lead.
The expensive Persian carpet absorbed all the noise, leaving only a stifling silence; even the slight clinking of silver cutlery sounded particularly jarring.
This small space should have been filled with the aroma of cigars and fine wine, as well as the whispers and smiles of important figures.
At this moment, however, it is as taut as a fully drawn bow, as if a single spark could ignite it.
Big D didn't get angry after being scolded by Sandman. Instead, he stood up and said slowly, "I'm entertaining distinguished guests right now and don't have time to argue with you here. Go back to the private room next door and wait for me. I'll come find you after this party is over."
Sandman looked down at Big D, his finger almost touching Big D's nose, and his voice boomed like thunder: "Big D! Just because you've made a few stinking bucks, you think you're not a dwarf? You'd better give me an explanation today for the disappearance of Rotten Life Hua and the twenty-odd East Stars!"
The roar, filled with anger, instantly shattered the tranquility of the private room, drawing alarmed glances from the waiters in the distance.
Inside the private room, Li Shutang and Huang Shitong frowned, extremely dissatisfied with the sudden intrusion of the sand bug.
Lei Hao immediately gave his advisor, Su, a meaningful look.
The latter understood immediately and pulled a voice recorder out of his pocket.
Furthermore, taking advantage of everyone's attention being focused on Big D and Sandman, he went to the cabinet next to him, turned on the DV camera, and pointed it at Sandman.
Big D's lips curled into a cold, mocking smile: "Sandfly! Have you got your brain slammed in a door? Your men are missing, what does that have to do with me?"
"I'm a legitimate businessman. Don't try to pin all sorts of accusations on me. Everything needs to be based on evidence. If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll sue you for defamation!"
Sha Meng grabbed Big D by the collar and said viciously, "Stop playing dumb with me! You dare say that you didn't do the disappearance of Rotten Life Hua and the others?"
Big D slammed his hand on the smooth tabletop with a loud "bang!" which made the teacup jump and spill tea everywhere.
"Your men have gone missing. Instead of looking for them, what good are you coming to me?"
"You expect me to give you an explanation? Who do you think you are!"
When Sha Mengfei saw that Big D was unwilling to admit that the disappearance of Lan Minghua was related to him, he was furious.
He couldn't resist the urge to attack Big D.
But suddenly, a slender, fair hand reached out and firmly grasped his hand, rendering him unable to move.
"Who are you?" Sandman squinted at the owner of the hand.
Lei Hao smiled faintly: "My name is Lei Hao. You should release my older brother first. If this gets out of hand, it won't be good for anyone."
As he spoke, Lei Hao gave him a casual shove.
Sandman stumbled back three steps before regaining his footing with the help of his underlings.
"How is this possible?" Sha Meng looked at Lei Hao with a look of surprise and uncertainty. Although he had been drinking, he was not so weak that he was pushed back so many steps.
Lei Hao showed off his skills, which was not surprising to Su He, who often followed his advisor, Dongguan Boy.
However, Big D, Li Shutang, Raymond and the others were shocked.
To their utter surprise, Lei Hao's gentle push sent the burly sand bug staggering backward.
So they remained silent, wanting to see how Lei Hao would handle the situation.
Lei Hao raised the corner of his mouth and said with a half-smile, "The rotten life Hua you mentioned is the one who colluded with people from the north to spread laundry detergent in Tsuen Wan, right?"
Sha Meng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a sneer, "You still say you don't know about Lanminghua? Did you team up with those people from the north to kill them all?"
Hearing Sha Meng speak so disparagingly of him, Lei Hao scoffed, "Do you think I'm some kind of stinking rat from the gutter? I made HK$56 billion today just from investing in futures. You short mules who only know how to sell laundry detergent can't even imagine that!"
Upon hearing this, Sha Meng and his henchmen were stunned for a moment, then exchanged glances and burst into laughter.
"If you've gone mad from your illness, you should go see a doctor right away. How could a pretty boy like you make 56 billion in futures trading?"
At this point, Sandman looked at Big D and said, "Big D, aren't you going to do anything about your brother who's got a screw loose?"
Big D snorted coldly: "My brother's affairs are none of your business, you're just a piece of trash who only knows about laundry detergent! And don't let your people come to Tsuen Wan to sell laundry detergent again, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Sandman's smile vanished instantly. "I knew it. The deaths of Lanminghua and the others are related to you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lei Hao interrupted him: "Listen carefully, Lan Minghua colluded with a group of people from the north to sell laundry detergent in Tsuen Wan, but we drove them away."
"As for what happened to him, you'll have to ask those people from the north. Maybe he got robbed because the two sides didn't split the loot properly."
"Also, remember one thing: we brothers only do legitimate business. You shady characters, don't try to scam us!"
Sha Meng stared intently at Lei Hao and Da D. The two brothers spoke in exactly the same tone, showing that they didn't take him seriously at all.
Now that things have turned sour, Sha Meng no longer concealed his intentions: "Big D, if you're not going to sell laundry detergent outside the industry, then don't just occupy the position without doing your job. From now on, I'm taking over Tsuen Wan!"
"Heh, how dare you say you want to sell laundry detergent right in front of me?" At this moment, Li Shutang, who had been silent all along, spoke up with a cold face.
Sha Meng looked at Li Shutang with suspicion, "Who are you? This is a feud between me and the two brothers, Da D. I advise you not to meddle, or you'll have to ask Dongxing if they'll allow it!"
"Who do we have here, with such audacity to cause trouble at the Peninsula Hotel? Turns out it's that shorty from Tung Sing." Li Shutang slowly stood up and said, "Since you ask who I am, then I'll tell you, I am Li Shutang, Chief Superintendent of the Hong Kong Police Force's Organized Crime and Triad Bureau!"
Li Shutang's voice wasn't loud, but it rang out like a great bell in Sha Meng's ears, startling him so much that he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
"Hiss, Chief Superintendent of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau?!" Sha Meng and his underlings gasped in shock.
Chief Superintendent of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB), also known as the head of the Hong Kong Police Force's anti-triad unit.
If you were to make threats in front of someone like Sha Meng, wouldn't you be jumping into a fire pit yourself?
Just then, Lu Qichang, who had been waiting in the next private room for a long time, appeared outside the room with his members from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau.
"I heard there are people here claiming to be triad members, and saying they're going to sell laundry detergent in Tsuen Wan?"
Lu Qichang and his men surrounded Sha Meng and his gang.
At this point, even if Sandman was stupid, he would understand that Big D had deliberately set a trap for him.
His drunkenness had been mostly sobered up by the fright.
Then look at the other people in the private room.
To Sha Meng's horror, he discovered that the two financial tycoons, Sima Xiang and Huang Shitong, were sitting inside.
When the sand gnawed in, Li Shutang had already signaled Raymond and Cai Yuanqi to block their view.
Therefore, the sand bugs did not initially discover their existence.
The sand bug turned deathly pale instantly, as if struck by lightning.
He had just offended not only the Chief Superintendent of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, but also two financial tycoons. He knew that today's events would not be easily resolved.
At the same time, he kept cursing Big D and Lei Hao in his heart for being so insidious, for digging such a deep pit of fire for him to jump into.
