Returning wealthy individuals develop their hometowns and become rich in the 1980s

"what!"

The blond-haired big guy was still lying on the ground, clutching his left knee, howling and rolling around. After Snake Brother's two henchmen finished beating him, they drove away the onlookers.

"Get away from me! What are you looking at? What's so interesting?"

"You're not happy about it, you bastard!"

"I'll smash your glasses in, you four-eyed guy!"

"Still watching!"

"..."

Seeing that the blond-haired guy's leg was crippled, Bill sneered and waved to Zhang Tiejun and Wang Xuewen, saying, "Let's go!"

"Don't go! No one is allowed to leave!"

Outside the crowd of onlookers, two patrol officers squeezed into the crowd, adjusting their hats. One of them had his hand on a walkie-talkie to his chest, reporting something.

"Sir, what are you doing?" Snake Brother shouted at the two patrol officers who had just arrived, seeing that Bill was finally about to leave.

"You hurt people, and you're asking me what's going on?" The patrolman pointed at the few people still groaning on the ground, said to Snake, then pointed at Bill and his two companions, "You're not allowed to leave either."

"Hey, now you guys have to take care of me if I fall down while walking? If you're so kind, go help this old lady cross the street, don't be so nosy," Snake said to the two patrolmen with the complete demeanor of a thug, showing none of the politeness he had shown Bill earlier.

"What fall? You clearly started it by hitting someone. I have witnesses here who can testify to that," a patrol officer said.

"Who?"

Snake glared at the onlookers and shouted at them, "Our own brother from Xin Yi An accidentally fell down, and it was some idiot who called the police!"

Upon hearing that they were from Xin Yi An, most of the people who had been surrounding them immediately dispersed. The remaining students, oblivious to the gravity of the situation, stood there laughing and pointing.

"Hey, don't go!" The two patrol officers shouted to the crowd as soon as they saw that most of the onlookers had left. But the more the officers shouted, the faster the crowd ran.

Seeing that the men didn't even turn around, the patrolman could only say to Snake, "You fell like that, did you break your leg?"

"Yeah, and there are people who got their heads smashed, their arms and legs broken. What's so strange about this world?" Snake Brother lit a cigarette and said to the patrolman.

"Should we call a taxi for you?"

"No need, officer, we can take them to the hospital ourselves," Snake said, a cigarette dangling from his lips. "Those three gentlemen were just passing by; it's none of their business. Don't wrong innocent citizens."

"Mr. Liang, it's alright now," Snake said with a smile to Bill and the other two. Bill opened the driver's seat, and Zhang Tiejun and Wang Xuewen got into the back seat without even turning their heads. The car sped away.

The two patrol officers then asked the group of people lying on the ground groaning, "Do you want to call the police? Do you need us to call an ambulance?"

"No need, I tripped and fell by accident. I can go to the hospital myself!"

"Need not!"

The men lying on the ground all waved their hands, saying they didn't need anything. They were helped up by Snake's henchmen and left. The patrolman had no choice but to shake his head and leave.

On Chen Dong's team's side, Zhang Yi asked Chen Dong, "Tony, what happened just now?"

"It's nothing, just some thugs causing trouble. Bill can handle it himself. Let's continue shopping," Chen Dong said to the driver. "Wei, to Causeway Bay?"

"Okay, Mr. Chen!"

Later, in the Mercedes-Benz that Chen Zaixing and his group were riding in, Chen Zaixing curiously asked his second brother, Chen Zaisheng, "Second brother, what happened just now? I saw those people lying on the ground, and some of them had broken arms and legs. Will this cause trouble?"

When the driver in front saw Chen Zaixing ask this, he smiled and said, "Brother Xing, it's okay. Brother Hua can easily handle this little situation."

"Does Dongzi have a lot of influence here?" Chen Zaixing asked curiously.

The driver smiled and said, "Chen Sheng doesn't know many people here, but he is known by many influential figures in both the legitimate and underworld circles."

"Why? How come Dongzi doesn't recognize them, but they do?"

"Because Mr. Chen is the head of our Zhigongtang," the driver said, and then explained the different generations of the Hongmen to Chen Zaixing, Chen Zaisheng, and Chen Lianxiang.

Chen Dong's position as the head of the family was inherited from his grandfather, Chen Shengyu. In the Hongmen, the head of the family is responsible for supervising the management of money and supplies, similar to the financial director of the Hongmen.

Below the head and deputy head of the Hongmen are seven senior ranks: the seated leader, the assistant leader, the manager, the punishment leader, the executioner, the etiquette leader, and the head. These seven people belong to the middle and upper levels of the Hongmen, and the head and deputy head are usually selected from these seven people.

The New One in Hong Kong was established independently from the Hong Kong Hongmen. Although it was independent, they still had to obey orders from the Hongmen. For example, if the Hongmen issued a bounty or a kill order, all Hongmen members had to carry it out.

The Hongmen's businesses in America were basically managed by Chen Dong's grandfather, Chen Shengyu. Originally, it wasn't Chen Dong's turn to take over, but his father, Chen Xianhua, "unexpectedly" got into trouble. The Hongmen investigated for a long time but couldn't find any clues, so they had to let Chen Dong, who had just graduated from university, take over the Hongmen's businesses.

To prevent any accidents from happening to Chen Dong, the gang's most capable fighter, Bill, was assigned to protect him.

After listening to the driver's explanation, Chen Zaixing's mouth dropped open, and it took him a long time to finally utter, "So Dongzi is this awesome in America!"

Chen Zaisheng then warned Chen Zaixing, "Just keep this to yourself. When you get back to the village, don't gossip about it. Don't get Dongzi into trouble!"

"Don't worry, Second Brother, I'm very tight-lipped!"

Meanwhile, at the Xiang family home, Xiang Qiang was on the phone. "Uncle Quan, it's me, Qiang. Today in Central, some of Snake Min's thugs didn't know their place and offended Mr. Chen. Yes, yes, I know!"

"Uncle Quan, could you please arrange a meeting with Mr. Chen? I'll set up over a dozen tables at Hongfu Restaurant for a celebratory feast. I'd like to invite Mr. Chen to come and personally apologize to him!"

The elderly voice on the other end of the phone replied, "Ah Qiang, Mr. Chen is not easy to schedule a meeting with. He came to Hong Kong this time in secret; the headquarters didn't inform us either. It's a difficult situation!"

After listening to the old man's words, Xiang Qiang cursed inwardly, "Old man, if it weren't for needing you old guys to contact America's headquarters, I, Xiang Qiang, would give you the time of day. Why are you putting on airs like this?"

No matter how difficult it is, it all comes down to money and profit sharing. But right now, his men have offended Mr. Chen and can't be invited out. If the matter isn't resolved, and the main branch finds out, especially since Mr. Chen is in charge of the main branch's businesses...

He was still thinking about doing some business with the main branch, but if he offended this money-making god, and the boss rejected everything, he would suffer a huge loss.

Left with no other choice, Xiang Qiang had to promise Uncle Quan that if he could get Mr. Chen to come out, he would contribute 10% of the "appearance fee" from the Lixing Hotel to the branch.

"Qiang, since you're willing to go to such lengths, I'll swallow my pride and help you make an appointment with Mr. Chen!"

"Thank you so much, Uncle Quan!"
