Chapter 104 Matching Teammates for the Great Misunderstanding "Gandhi"

"Afan, aren't you planning to take this opportunity to expand your territory?"

Liang Kun was puzzled.

Chen Fan clearly had a grudge against Gandhi before, but now that Ni Kun has fallen, isn't the remaining half of Gandhi's territory Chen Fan can have for himself?

"Expansion is certainly a good thing, but we cannot expand blindly."

"The nail that sticks out gets hammered down; it's not a good thing for someone to be too popular."

Chen Fan didn't want to get too involved with Liang Kun, otherwise Jiang Tiansheng would definitely try to trip him up.

Moreover, Liang Kun is an unstable bomb. There is no way he can end well if he is involved in drug use and vying for leadership. Chen Fan does not want to be implicated.

Of course, when Leung Kwan is about to die, he wouldn't mind helping him inherit his family fortune.

"Ah Kun, I think Ah Fan is right. We can expand our territory, but we can't fire the first shot. We should know when to stop so we can land safely," Han Bin reminded him.

If Liang Kun doesn't ask the three brothers for help, he won't bother to offer it up; rushing to offer help is just being a sycophant.

Han Bin never intended to get involved in the factional struggles within Hung Hing.

"I have no reasonable reason to fight even if I want to."

Chen Fan didn't take the bait, leaving Liang Kun feeling helpless.

He had no enmity with the Ni family.

He would just start fighting directly. The people around him could beat him to the point of questioning his existence. His original idea was to have Chen Fan restart the war with Gandhi. He would block the Ni family's support for Gandhi under the guise of helping them. During this time, he would have someone stir up trouble and provoke the Ni family to make the first move, so that he would have a legitimate reason to retaliate and plant his flag.

In this way, it would be in accordance with the rules for him to seize a piece of territory, and afterwards he would not interfere with other gangs dividing up the Ni family's land.

This creates a situation where everyone is happy.

Gan Zitai sighed, "Let's wait and see. It's still undecided who will succeed the Ni family. The five powerful figures have different ideas. Let the underlings prepare for war so we don't get caught off guard."

The death of a highly influential figure in the underworld has disrupted the balance of interests, making a new conflict inevitable.

After chatting about some other trivial matters, Chen Fan left first.

Back on his own turf, as soon as he entered, he saw Airplane, Dongguan Boy, Fly, and the others looking eager to try their luck.

The plane spoke first: "Brother Fan, when are we going to start the war?"

"That old bastard from the Ni family is dead. This time, no one can protect Gandhi. Brother Fan, let me lead the charge and make sure that old man Gandhi is taken down."

"I'll capture the boy alive." The Dongguan guy patted his chest and guaranteed.

The fly looked at Chen Fan with pleading eyes and said, "Brother Fan, if I don't want to be the warden of the dog cage, I can take a knife and fight people!"

Cao Dahua, standing to the side, spread his hands, looking utterly helpless.

These three brats somehow got wind of Ni Kun's death and immediately started asking him when he would raise the flag and when the battle would begin.

The constant buzzing early in the morning almost drove Cao Dahua crazy.

"What's the rush?"

"It's uncertain whether the world will be in chaos this time. Even if it is, Gandhi's territory is not our first choice. There's no profit to be made from robbing it, and the returns aren't high."

Chen Fan was impressed by these three warmongers.

If they could channel that drive into their studies, Cao Dahua's private tutor wouldn't feel like he was going to his execution every time he had a class.

"Not seize Gandhi's territory? Then where should we seize it?"

The three people on the plane were puzzled.

Gandhi is their best target, and he's also a "good neighbor," so who else would they target if not him?

"We'll talk about it when things get chaotic. These next few days, you guys need to patrol the streets more diligently and make sure no one affects the businesses that pay their property fees."

"Also, we're not low-level thugs. Stop shouting about fighting and killing. Our property management company pays taxes according to the law. In the future, if you take any action, remember to say that you are protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the homeowners."

Chen Fan scoffed at the kind of behavior that only involved sweeping streets and planting flags.

His underlings were all registered under the property management company. As long as they used the right banner, they could fight other gangs in front of the police, and the other gangs would not only be unable to stop them, but might even have to lend a hand.

Not going to help? Try filing a complaint with a top lawyer.

Chen Fan spent a lot of money to hire two top lawyers, Huang Dawen and Chen Tianyi, as legal advisors for the property management company.

Since we've already paid them, we definitely need to find some work for them to do. We can't let them feel guilty about getting something for nothing.

The fly scratched its head and asked, "So what should we shout when we plant a flag in the future?"

"Nonsense, of course it's about expanding our business." Dongguan guy thought for a moment, then added, "Expansion through on-the-ground promotion."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan couldn't help but clap his hands.

It seems that it's actually useful to get these scoundrels to read more books.

Is this no longer necessary?

"If you read more books, you'll become our chief sales representative for Extraordinary Property. Airplane and Dongguan Boy are number two."

Number Three is specifically here to help you coordinate.

"Am I the chief ground sales representative?"

The fly could hardly believe its ears.

Does this mean that his status is above that of the airplane and the Dongguan boy?

Wouldn't that make him the fifth-in-command of the team?

In Fly's mind, Chen Fan is the boss, followed by Ahua, then Uncle Da, and Jimmy, being the moneybag, is definitely of higher status than him.

Previously, when the battle started, Feiji and Dongguan Zai Chong were always at the forefront, and he didn't have any highlights. The title of chief salesman of the property company sounds very impressive, and Feiji and the others have to be ranked behind him.

Watson?

He was a factory security chief, a marginal figure under Dassmore, so let's not even mention him.

"Do a good job, fly."

Ahua patted Fly on the shoulder, the smile on his lips looking rather wicked.

The plane and the Dongguan guy, who knew the weight of flies, also gave each other plenty of face.

After all, whether we can expand our business in the future depends entirely on how well the flies perform.

Having gained the approval of the three men, Fly felt an unprecedented sense of pride; he had finally made something of himself!

Chen Fan didn't disturb Wu Ying's self-indulgent fun. He called Ahua and Cao Dahua and went into the office.

"Brother Fan, is it really appropriate for us to prank Fly like this? What if he gets too cocky and gets killed?" Cao Dahua said with some concern.

Chen Fan waved his hand, "Don't worry, Ahua has assigned him some good men. At most, he'll get a beating but won't die."

"Uncle Da, Fly started out following me. I've always considered him a brother and would never harm him," Ahua explained.

It's such a waste to use a natural "Han envoy" like fly only once and then discard it.

"Ahua, have you organized everything I asked you to collect?"

"We've already gathered all the evidence. Guohua was having an affair with Gandhi's wife in Macau, the black guy was embezzling Gandhi's goods, and Wenzheng was instigating Gandhi's men to provoke us. Gandhi's wife was also transferring Gandhi's assets."

Furthermore, Guohua, Heigui, Wenzheng, and others have business dealings with Lian Haolong, Wang Bao, Futou Jun, Lei Yaoyang, and Situ Haonan, and they all have a habit of secretly instructing these people to smuggle their own people's goods.

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment after hearing Ahua's report.

Holy crap, Gandhi was such a terrible fool!

The four knives—the three brothers and his wife—were aimed at vital points with every strike, each one a critical hit.

Honest people are undoubtedly miserable.

The infighting among Guohua and his two brothers was quite interesting. They colluded with outsiders to rob their brothers of their property, which, according to the Thirty-Six Oaths of the Hongmen, should have resulted in their execution by Five Thunderbolts.

Damn it, people who get involved with drugs really have no humanity. This industry is truly chaotic!

"Did Gandhi have any connections with other organizations?" Chen Fan asked again.

"Yes, there are, but they are all normal business dealings. The people I have the closest personal relationships with are probably He Lian Sheng Da Pu Hei and Si Yan."

"Sitting at the same table with two good-for-nothings, no wonder I'm being treated like a blood bag."

Chen Fan looked disdainful.

Birds of a feather flock together.

This principle was perfectly embodied in Gandhi.

Tai Po Hei doesn't have much power in Wo Luen Shing. In the movie, if it weren't for Tung Chung Tsui supporting the show, the only thing worth bragging about is his business of smuggling chilled chicken.

In the movie, even the three Tony brothers couldn't handle Four-Eyes. Tony and Tiger dared to come to his door and threaten his son and wife. He's the worst of the worst, and the only thing he's good for is the money in his pocket.

With this kind of setup, it would be hard for Gandhi not to lose.

"Pack up all the dirt on Gandhi and sell it to Wang Bao for one million."

Since Gandhi himself wasn't up to par, Chen Fan had no choice but to manually match him with teammates.

Wang Bao wields considerable influence in Tsim Sha Tsui, after all, he's the arrogant man who can declare, "After midnight, he's in charge of my territory."

Wang Bao is also involved in heroin production, so he definitely lacks supply channels.

"Is one million too cheap?"

Cao Dahua couldn't help but offer a reminder.

The kidnapping and extortion prize pool has already reached 50 million, so the reward for introducing teammates is too small.

This doesn't quite match Cao Dahua's understanding of Chen Fan.

"Dragons do not dwell with snakes."

"Gandhi is such a useless piece of trash, Wang Bao wouldn't accept a price that's too high. The one million is only because Gandhi controls the supply channels."

"Ahua, contact Aji and have him tell Wang Bao that Wang Bao is willing to listen to what Huang Mao said."

Ever since they made the agreement that Aji and Luo Tianhong were welcome to challenge them at any time, these two blue and yellow "war wolves" have been coming to see Chen Fan almost every two weeks.

The relationship is alright, but if they play two more times, these two will have to keep their promise and switch sides.

"clear."

Ahua nodded, then asked, "Are you going to sell the other dirt on other gangs too?"

"Sell Wen Zheng's dirty laundry to Lian Haolong through Luo Tianhong for 1.2 million."

"If the black guy likes to double-cross others, sell him to the smiling tiger for 1.5 million."

"The last Guohua is given to Xinji. It's up to anyone, two million is the price. If they don't want it, it will be transferred to Wo Luen Shing Fish Head."

Hearing Chen Fan's arrangement, Cao Dahua exclaimed, "Wow, Brother Fan, your method of dividing the pork is truly brilliant!"

Selling this dirt can make a fortune, and it can also incite these gangs to fight each other while we sit back and watch. It's a perfectly legitimate scheme.

You can choose not to join, but if others use this negative information to attract people and grow their business, while you remain stagnant, your market share will eventually be gradually eroded by others.

In the world of martial arts, it's always a matter of either advancing or retreating.

"What's the big deal?" Chen Fan asked again. "Uncle Da, you should use your connections to spread the word that the Ni family's top leaders want to start their own business."

"What about Han Chen? This guy should be the most cunning of the five great masters of the Ni family."

Having spent many years in the underworld, Cao Dahua knew very well that the most ruthless people in the underworld were not the villains who looked fierce and acted arrogantly.

Rather, it's those who smile while harboring malice, and who appear harmless in ordinary times.

When Han Chen came to redeem Gandhi last time, Cao Dahua could tell that this guy was not easy to deal with.

Chen Fan smiled. "Uncle Da, Ni Kun was killed by Han Chen's wife and a corrupt cop. What do you think will happen to Han Chen if this news gets back to the Ni family?"

"What kind of corrupt cop is so arrogant?"

Cao Dahua was startled.

This guy is incredibly audacious; he did many things that cops wanted to do but dared not.

It's a pity he's a corrupt cop; if he could gather evidence, it would be a great achievement.

"Don't worry about that. Just focus on doing what you're doing right now. Keep the truth about Ni Kun's assassination a secret for a while."

To maximize its value, time will definitely have to be spent.

I don't know if I can get Liu Jianming and the others' information from Han Chen.

If possible, Chen Fan has his own informants within the police force, and he can definitely help these people rise to higher positions; otherwise, relying solely on Huang Bingyao is not safe.

Old Huang's position is too low; his authority cannot cover all departments of the police force.

Develop your own undercover agents?

Chen Fan himself felt that there wasn't enough talent, so where would he find people to send to the police force as informants?

The traitor was already on a path of no return, and Chen Fan didn't want to push him into the fire himself. He'd rather let Liu Jianming and the others suffer.

Anyway, they're already tainted and can't be cleaned up, so working for someone else is still working for them.

Han Chen doesn't treat them like human beings, so Chen Fan only needs to treat them with a little more dignity, and that will be enough.
