Hong Kong variety show: From being bitten by a cockroach to becoming a legend

Chapter 120 Assigning Tasks

The crowd was filled with righteous indignation. Many of the hot-blooded men could no longer contain themselves, their eyes reddening, and they wished they could immediately grab their weapons and charge out.

Seeing that he had stirred up the morale of his men, Song Zhaowen raised his hand and pressed it down. With just this simple action, the boiling clamor immediately subsided, and everyone stared at him expectantly.

"Now Kwun Wo Tai occupies Kwun Tong, Temple Street, and most of West Kowloon. They're powerful and well-equipped. Do you think you can just chop them down like that?"

The plane was taken aback by the question, but stubbornly replied, "Boss, the brothers in Zhengxing aren't pushovers either. Even if it means fighting to the death, we'll teach those traitors a lesson!"

Song Zhaowen scoffed, "The fish may die, but the net might not break. If we fight Guanghetai to the death, who will benefit in the end? Other gangs, right? You need to use your brain more, Airplane."

The plane opened its mouth, but couldn't speak; its face flushed red.

Xiao Zhuoxiao adjusted his glasses and spoke up at the opportune moment: "The boss is right, a head-on confrontation is not the way to go. Guanghetai is currently riding high, and with the three companies united, we've just experienced a split and are weakened. A direct conflict would be counterproductive."

Song Zhaowen glanced at Xiao Zhuoxiao and nodded: "Xiao understands best. So, what we need to do now is not to recklessly fight back, but—to stabilize our position, then cut off their henchmen, divide and conquer them, and finally—"

One blow, one kill.

The Dongguan guy crossed his arms and said, "Boss, you tell us what to do, and we'll do it!"

"Ah-Hau, reorganize all the managers of our remaining territories—Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui, Tsz Wan Shan, Tin Shui Wai—and replace all those who previously followed Lai Tin-Yi and Big Kwong. Those who deserve rewards should receive them. All brothers will receive double pay this month; for those injured before, the triad will cover all medical expenses, plus compensation. I want the brothers still following Cheng Hing to know that following Song Zhaowen will never be a loss!"

"Yes, boss!" Xiao Zhuoxiao immediately wrote it down.

Song Zhaowen tapped his fingers on the table: "The three companies, Guanghetai, seem to be united, but in reality, they each have their own ulterior motives. Big D is greedy and a gambler, Chen Mei is cunning and shrewd, and Li Tianyi and Big Guang are just two self-righteous opportunists. Guanghetai is really just a lump of mud mixed with water!"

"Boss's right!" Dongguan guy's eyes lit up: "That clay thing looks intimidating, but one piss and it'll be washed away!"

This statement, though crude, is not without merit, and it drew nods of agreement from many.

Song Zhaowen gave the Dongguan boy an approving look. Although the kid could be impulsive at times, he was quick-witted: "So, what we need to do is pour this pee" on their most vulnerable spot."

Chen Luojun, who was behind him, immediately stepped forward to light a cigar for him. Song Zhaowen slowly exhaled smoke: "Damn it, as far as I know, Big D lost the battle for leadership with Young Master Lok and started his own faction. Everyone in the underworld says that Young Master Lok is a spineless coward, but I don't think so. And those old uncles at Wo Luen Shing, I don't believe they'll just stand by and watch Big D split up without doing anything?"

As soon as Song Zhaowen said this, the hall fell silent, followed by a chorus of whispers of sudden realization.

"Oh yeah! I almost forgot about Luen Shing!"

"Big D recruited people from Wo Luen Shing to go solo, can Lok Siu tolerate that?"

"If we could join forces with Wo Shing Pharma, dealing with Big D would be much easier!"

Xiao Zhuoxiao's eyes lit up behind his glasses: "Boss, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Lok Siu of Wo Luen Shing is the weakest. He just became the leader when Big D split up. If he doesn't take action, his men will definitely follow suit. Even if we don't make a move, Lok Siu has to, otherwise his time as leader is over. We have the same goal as him. Moreover, Wo Luen Shing has deep roots in Sham Shui Po and Mong Kok. If we can join forces with them, dealing with Big D will be much easier."

"Hsiao, please arrange for Lok to have tea with you tomorrow. Both of our families have produced traitors, so naturally we should discuss joining forces."

"No problem, I've played mahjong with Young Master Lok a few times, I have his phone number."

"As for Chen Mei..." Song Zhaowen sneered.

Speaking of which, six months ago, when Prince Tai was killed, Chen Mei never suspected that Song Zhaowen was the one who killed his son because the matter was handled very cleanly. On the contrary, those Mexicans became the biggest suspects.

Chen Mei and the Mexicans have clashed several times, with casualties on both sides. Now, the two sides have long been sworn enemies, and Chen Mei, fearing Mexican retaliation, always travels with a team of bodyguards.

The Mexicans' retaliation could be deadly!

Beheading, dismemberment, stabbing the whole family are all child's play~

If Mexico and Hong Kong weren't separated by the Pacific Ocean, preventing local Mexicans from receiving support, Chen Mei's entire family would have been wiped out long ago.

Song Zhaowen turned to Ah Hua: "Ah Hua, doesn't your adult film company have a bunch of foreigners? Have them dress up as Mexicans and make a big show of themselves near the airport. Then you can leak the news that these Mexicans are coming to Hong Kong to avenge their brothers!"

Ahua patted his chest and assured him, "Boss, my adult film company is currently shooting a few international action movies," and with a legal pretext for the transfer of props and personnel, it's very convenient."

Uncle Yuan's eyes lit up: "Awen, great idea! Chen Mei is a real coward. If he finds out that a bunch of Mexicans are coming across the sea to seek revenge, he'll definitely run faster than anyone else."

Song Zhaowen nodded: "That's right, that's exactly the effect I want to achieve. Chen Mei has a business empire in Thailand, so he'll definitely fly there to avoid trouble. Chen Luojun will take a team of Mad Dogs brothers to Thailand to send Chen Mei off to meet his son. By the way, Chen Mei has a few Muay Thai experts around him, so you need to be careful."

Chen Luojun, who had been feeling stifled lately, licked his lips: "An expert? I love sparring with experts! Brother Wen, don't worry, I will definitely not let Chen Mei return to Hong Kong alive."

Song Zhaowen nodded in satisfaction, but didn't forget to remind him: "Remember, be clean and discreet. Be extra careful when working on someone else's turf. Once you get to Thailand, find out Chen Mei's whereabouts and bodyguard configuration first. Don't be reckless. A Yong, you'll be with Luo Jun. You'll be in charge of logistics. Make sure to arrange the weapons, intelligence, and rendezvous routes."

Wu Zhaoyong replied coolly, "Roger that, Brother Wen! I guarantee everything will be arranged perfectly, sending that old guy down to sell salted duck eggs; however, Brother Wen's trip to Thailand might be a bit expensive..."

"I knew you were like that. Go to the finance department and get ten million. Use any leftovers for the brothers' vacation in Thailand."

Wu Zhaoyong rarely smiled, and he rubbed his hands together. Ten million in activity funds was a huge sum for a gang, enough to make things comfortable in Thailand, with plenty left over for everyone to "relax."

"Haha, the boss really understands me~"

"Don't just focus on having fun." Song Zhaowen reprimanded, "If you do things well, you'll have plenty of money to play with later. If you mess things up—" He didn't finish his sentence, but the coldness in his eyes said it all.

Wu Zhaoyong's expression turned serious: "Don't worry, Brother Wen, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

"Very good." Song Zhaowen looked at Tony: "Tony, you're the best at leaking information. This time, you need to team up with Ahua and create a huge stir. You need to make Chen Mei believe that a large number of Mexican assassins have really come. There need to be traces at the airport, the dock, and the places he frequents." "Spend money to find some tabloids and underworld informants to spread the news, the more sensational the better."

"Got it!" Tony chuckled. "I'm a pro at this kind of charade, scaring old foxes."

.

Seeing that everyone else had something to do, Feiji couldn't contain himself any longer: "Boss, what about us? Just sit around waiting? I want to kill those two bastards, Li Tianyi and Da Zhi Guang, right now!"

Song Zhaowen glanced at the plane: "What's the rush? Once Chen Mei kicks the bucket and Big D and Le Shao start fighting, Li Tianyi and Big Guang will be isolated. At that time, they'll be even more anxious than we are. Once they're anxious, they'll make mistakes, and once they expose their weaknesses, we'll strike decisively and achieve the greatest success with the least cost!"

"However, we can't let them get too comfortable. Feiji, send a few teams of unfamiliar faces to take turns patrolling the outskirts of Kwun Tong and Temple Street. They don't need to lift a finger, just keep an eye on the places Li Tianyi and Da Zhi Guang frequent, as well as their main territories. Make them feel the pressure, let them know we're watching them at all times. If they dare to send people out to cause trouble or harass our territory—"

Song Zhaowen looked at Luo Tianhong: "Tianhong, you take the most elite members of the Mad Dog Group and provide mobile support. Anyone who dares to show their face, chop off their claws without mercy."

Luo Tianhong nodded silently, her hand gently stroking the scabbard.

The plane then perked up: "Got it, boss! I'm an expert at surveillance and pressure! I'll make sure they can't eat or sleep!"

Having made these arrangements, Song Zhaowen felt that things were about right. He had stabilized what needed stabilizing, dug the necessary traps, and deployed the necessary tools.

"Alright, everyone understands their tasks, right?" Song Zhaowen stood up: "Ah Xiao, make an appointment with Young Master Le as soon as possible."

Ah-Hua, Tony, you two need to act quickly. I need to make Chen Mei feel like she can't stay in Hong Kong within three days. Luo-Jun, Ah-Yong, you two be ready to leave at any time. Fei-Ji, Tian-Hong, keep a close eye on Li-Tian-Yi and Da-Zhi-Guang. Uncle Yuan—”

He looked at the old man in the wheelchair and said, "Please take good care of yourself. We young people will take care of the affairs of the community."

Uncle Yuan nodded with satisfaction: "Awen, you've made excellent arrangements. I'm old and can't fight anymore, but seeing you lead the brothers step by step to take back the territory and eliminate the traitors, I can close my eyes in peace."

"Uncle Yuan, may you live to be a hundred years old, and may you see Zhengxing flourish and have many descendants." Song Zhaowen rarely spoke so softly.

After discussing some more details, everyone dispersed.

Song Zhaowen returned to his lounge behind the main hall, and had just sat down and lit a cigarette when Xiao Zhuoxiao knocked on the door and came in.

"Boss, it's arranged with Young Master Lok. Tomorrow at 3 PM, at Luk Yu Tea House in Sham Shui Po," he said, referring to a private room.

Song Zhaowen chuckled: "It seems that Young Master Le is even more anxious than we are. Ah Xiao, come with me to meet this new head of Wo Luen Shing."
