Hong Kong film: The cop backs down, the ladies beg me to check his license.
Chapter 123 Personal Strength
Ye Tian chewed slowly and deliberately: "I said, all the other hall masters have arrived, I don't believe it."
Luo Tianhong thought for a moment: "It seems that Brother Kun...didn't mention Greyhound and Dafei's names."
Ye Tian took a sip of milk and said calmly, "Because they're also having their 'inauguration banquet' today. Right now, they're probably receiving the 'disciplinary rod' treatment at the police station."
Luo Tianhong's eyes widened: "You cops really dare to arrest people in public? Don't you respect me?"
Ye Tian shrugged: "It's an old tradition. The twelve leaders of Hung Hing are not to be underestimated. The police arrest people at the new leader's celebration, detain them for 24 hours, and show them their power. It's a way of declaring: even if you're a triad boss, you still have to abide by their rules."
Luo Tianhong frowned: "Then... will they come to pull you away later too?"
Ye Tian rolled his eyes: "No."
"Huh? Why?"
Ye Tian sighed and put down his milk glass. "Tianhong, you still have a lot to learn. People are different. What others encounter, I may not. Just like you and Xiaofu both practice martial arts, but can you be the same?"
The blue-haired kid scratched his head, feeling that his boss was scolding him, but he had no proof.
Ye Tian clapped his hands and stood up: "Alright, if you're in such a hurry, let's not dawdle. Jianguo, prepare the car, let's go to the 'Honest and Resolute' Restaurant."
As the car approached the restaurant, Wang Jianjun frowned slightly as he looked out the window at the growing crowd of people, all dressed in black suits. "Boss, aren't there too many people? It's a bit chaotic."
Ye Tian glanced around. The area around the restaurant was densely packed with henchmen from various branches, each with a solemn expression, making the atmosphere on the street very tense, and ordinary passersby avoided them from a distance.
"They're all here to keep things going, they're all on our side," Ye Tian explained.
Wang Jianjun was still a little worried: "The more people there are, the easier it is for things to go wrong. What if..."
Luo Tianhong chuckled, "Don't worry, Brother Jun, our boss is incredibly skilled! Even Brother Fu can't beat him!"
Wang Jianjun calmly said, "Brother Fu told me about the boss's skills. But that was with cold weapons. What if the other side used a gun?"
Luo Tianhong's smile froze.
Ye Tian smiled and said, "Don't worry, no one would dare to use a gun in a situation like this. Those who traditionally engage in shady dealings know that if you use a gun here, the police can immediately arrest you for illegal possession of a weapon, which carries a minimum penalty of fourteen years. Nobody would be that stupid. Besides, everyone here today is someone who respects the 'rules,' so we have to maintain a facade of harmony."
Wang Jianjun's eyes remained firm: "That's true, but one can't be too careful. If anything unexpected happens, I'll stand in front of the boss."
Ye Tian glanced at him, a thought flickering in his heart, and patted him on the shoulder: "Good brother. But we'll both be safe."
The car stopped. Immediately, a henchman ran over, opened the car door, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Brother Tian! I'm here to park your car, sent by Brother D!"
Ye Tian nodded, gesturing for Wang Jianguo to hand over the keys. At the same time, he pulled a roll of banknotes tied with a rubber band from his pocket and casually tossed it to his underling: "Here's some good luck."
The young man took it; it felt heavy in his hand, definitely worth over ten thousand. His face immediately lit up with a smile, and he bowed repeatedly, saying, "Thank you so much, Brother Tian! Brother Tian is so generous! I wish you all the best!"
Ye Tian didn't say much, leading the three of them towards the restaurant's entrance. Luo Tianhong and the other two automatically lagged half a step behind, their eyes scanning their surroundings warily.
Chicken was already waiting at the door. Seeing them arrive, he immediately greeted them: "Brother Tian! You've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you! The big shots are all upstairs!"
Ye Tian was a little surprised: "Oh? They're here even earlier than me? I thought they were all sleeping until noon like me."
Chicken laughed: "Who doesn't know your schedule? But today, all sorts of big shots are here, treating your celebration as a social event to do business and build relationships, so naturally they arrived early. By the way, Big D and his wife are here, as is Situ Haonan from Causeway Bay, along with representatives from other triads. It's quite lively."
Ye Tian raised an eyebrow: "Situ Haonan is here too? Interesting. Who else is here?"
Chicken rattled off a list of names; basically, every well-known triad in Hong Kong had sent representatives.
Ye Tian clicked his tongue: "This is practically turning into a martial arts convention. Let's go up and see what these big shots want to talk to me about."
Shanji laughed and replied, then, seeing the Wang Jianjun brothers, asked Luo Tianhong, "Brother Tianhong, who are these two?"
Luo Tianhong introduced: "Brother Jun, Brother Guo, these are the boss's new security company supervisors, they're very skilled. Brother Jun, Brother Guo, this is Shanji, Brother Kun's right-hand man, one of our own."
Both sides nodded in greeting. Chicken was secretly alarmed; for the arrogant Luo Tianhong to call him "brother," his skills must be terrifying.
Ye Tian ignored their pleasantries and went straight up to the second-floor lobby. His appearance immediately made him the center of attention.
Jiang Tiansheng stood up with a smile: "Look everyone, the main character has arrived!"
Ye Tian strode forward, first bowing to Jiang Tiansheng, "Mr. Jiang, thank you for waiting." Then he turned to the crowd, his smile impeccable, greeting them perfectly, "Big D, Mrs. D, thank you for coming." "Lin Longtou, it's an honor to meet you." "Senior Bai Touweng, you're in good health." "Situ, it's nice to see you again." "Mr. Xiang, it's been a long time."
He spoke at a moderate pace, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant, and he greeted everyone with ease. Luo Tianhong, watching from behind, was somewhat stunned; it was the first time he had ever seen his boss so "social."
Shanji pulled him over to the reception desk, pointing to a thick stack of red envelopes and a list: "Brother Tianhong, you've come at the perfect time. The guest red envelope lists are all here; you can keep them safe. I have other things to attend to."
Luo Tianhong looked at the pile of things, a little confused: "Huh? You're giving it to me?"
Pheasant asked curiously, "Aren't you Brother Tian's most trusted subordinate? Brother Tian can rest assured leaving you in his care."
Luo Tianhong puffed out her chest: "Yes! Leave it to me!" She spoke toughly, but she was a little unsure of herself.
Wang Jianjun stepped forward and took the gift list: "Tianhong is young, I'll handle these details. Don't worry, there won't be any mistakes."
Seeing Wang Jianjun's calm demeanor, Shanji felt much more at ease and whispered to him about the backgrounds of some important guests and their relationship with Hung Hing.
Wang Jianjun listened attentively and quickly took notes. Pointing to a name on the list, he whispered, "Brother Chicken, this guy... seems to have some issues with Hung Hing? Why is he here too?"
Pheasant's lips twitched, and he said tactfully, "The underlings might fight to the death when they meet, but once they get to the top... everyone's just trying to make a living. Negotiations are more important than fighting, and appearances have to be kept up."
Wang Jianjun glanced at Shanji and nodded: "Understood. Profits come first, face is secondary."
Pheasant was taken aback, and thought to himself: The people Brother Tian recruited are indeed extraordinary.
Over there, Big D had already come over and given Ye Tian a firm hug: "Tian! Thank you! My move to Hung Hing is settled!"
Ye Tian smiled and patted him on the back: "Congratulations! The Three Saints Palace will open its gates on the sixteenth of next month, and I will definitely be there."
Big D beamed, "It's all thanks to you speaking up for me in front of Mr. Jiang!"
Ye Tian waved his hand: "It mainly depends on your own strength."
