Chapter 419 A Newly Established Story on the Verge of Collapse
Li Wenbin glanced at him, said nothing, but gave Kuang Zhili a wink.
Three police cars and one armored vehicle were parked outside the courtyard. Neighbors and security guards from the villa area were seen peeking around, but were stopped by uniformed police officers outside the cordon.
After Xu Yan was put into the car, the door slammed shut, and the police car drove away with its lights flashing.
He had already made arrangements for his funeral last night.
Next, it's time to go to court with the police.
As for the new gang's territory, they can only wait until things calm down before reorganizing their forces and fighting back.
......
Inside an abandoned factory in Chai Wan Industrial City.
The gray walls were mottled, the iron windows were tightly closed, and a few incandescent lamps made the factory building appear white.
The air smelled of engine oil and dust.
In the center of the factory was a long table and a few chairs, surrounded by old machines and wooden crates.
Xu Yan's son Xu Cheng, Lin Jiang, Axe Jun, Gui Tian, Du Shun and other senior members of the New Detective Agency gathered together, along with some uncles who were still in the organization, making a total of more than twenty people.
Su Long also arrived.
He was of a higher seniority than most of the people present, and was also the head instructor of the club.
Now that he's older, he doesn't fight as much anymore, but his words still carry weight in the gang.
He glanced at everyone present, and was the first to speak, his tone sharp:
"Accept amnesty, accept amnesty, now look what happened, just like Song Jiang, he lost his entire gang territory."
"I think we should all go our separate ways and launder our money to do business."
"Why are you even bothering to seize territory?"
"What are you going to use to rob it?"
Xu Cheng sat in the main seat, listening calmly.
He was only in his early twenties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He was handsome and fair-skinned, and bore a resemblance to Xu Yan, but with younger features.
He adjusted his glasses and chuckled softly.
"Hehe, Uncle Long, there's no need to be so aggressive right from the start."
"Although the organization is currently in a critical period, the ship hasn't sunk yet."
Lin Jiang stepped forward at the opportune moment and said loudly:
"Young Master Xu is right."
"Regarding this series of premeditated attacks by Tung Sing against our Shin Kei, I believe the triad must unite and resist to the end."
"Although Mr. Xu has been arrested and charged by the police, we will use all legal means to get him out."
He looked around at everyone, his voice rising a few decibels:
"Last night, Mr. Xu made arrangements in advance to let his son temporarily take over all the affairs of the gang."
"During this period, everyone must follow Young Master Xu's orders!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a buzz of discussion broke out in the factory.
They were willing to follow Lao Xu because he was rich and powerful, and had a very influential background. Over the years, he had been providing them with a life of luxury.
But now the old man has been expelled from Hong Kong Island, the two leaders have been arrested and taken to the police station, and a kid in his early twenties has been brought out to lead the gang. What's going on here?
"Ah Jiang, I think you're still half asleep?"
Su Long didn't hold back in his rebuttal.
He didn't take Lin Jiang seriously at all, his gaze bypassing him and landing on Xu Cheng.
"Now the gang's territory is all gone."
"A whole bunch of his underlings are either in the police station or still in the hospital."
"It's being said in the underworld that our new gang has fallen apart."
"What's wrong with you all? You're holding some kind of handover ceremony here, letting a little kid be in charge... Isn't that just plain stupid?"
Upon hearing this, a flash of murderous intent crossed Xu Cheng's eyes.
But his smile remained unchanged, and his tone was still gentle.
"Uncle Long, so you mean we're just going to let the gang continue to rot like this?"
"Who says we can just let it rot? I'm showing you reality!"
Su Long raised his voice a few decibels, his eyes fixed on Xu Cheng.
"You have neither men nor weapons, what are you going to use to fight Tung Sing?"
"With your mouth?"
"Uncle Long, I know you're worried about the safety of the brothers, but the gang isn't at its lowest point yet."
"We still have our roots in Chai Wan. As long as we can win back the hearts of the people, we might be able to fight back."
After Xu Cheng finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Lin Jiang.
The latter understood and gestured behind him.
The three henchmen immediately stepped forward, picked up the six black briefcases that were placed against the wall, and lined them up on the table.
The lids were opened one after another, revealing stacks of bright green US dollars inside.
Axe Jun and the others' eyes lit up instantly, and their necks unconsciously stretched forward.
Even Gui Tian, who had been keeping his arms crossed and not saying a word, couldn't help but take a second look.
Xu Cheng glanced at everyone's expressions, taking in their changes.
He then slowly began to speak, his tone solemn:
"I won't say much, I only have one request..."
"No matter what means we use, we'll take back your territory tonight."
He pointed to the money on the table:
"This money is seed money. Once it's successful, the organization will reward you handsomely!"
"Yes, Young Master Xu!"
Axe Jun was the first to respond, reaching out to grab money from the table and stuffing stacks of US dollars into his pocket.
The others couldn't sit still either, and they all crowded around, each trying to divide the money faster than the last.
He didn't go up to take the money, nor did he say anything more.
He knew these people's character all too well; as long as there was money, anything was negotiable.
Money can buy a few days of hard work, but it can't buy a leader who can win people's respect.
He doesn't have his own territory.
The martial arts school in Yau Ma Tei had long since suffered a sharp decline in business due to pressure from Hung Hing, and eventually closed down and switched to small-scale trading.
Therefore, his losses were actually minimal when his gang's territory was seized.
That's why he had the confidence to go against the Xu family.
He has always been dissatisfied with the Xu family's practice of "using business to support crime and using crime to protect business".
Especially after Old Xu got into trouble, Xu Cheng, this young upstart, actually wanted to learn from the old man and run the gang, which made him even more disgusted.
After the meeting, everyone left with their money, and the factory gradually emptied out.
Su Long didn't leave. He walked to the window, lit a cigarette, and squinted at the gray sky outside.
After a while, he waved.
Three young men emerged from the shadows; they were none other than his prized disciples, Du Shun, Gui Tian, and Li Tai.
The three stood in front of him, none of them speaking, waiting for their master to speak.
Su Long exhaled a puff of smoke, his gaze sweeping over the three faces one by one, his voice low:
"Putting everything else aside, we're definitely going to take back this territory tonight."
"Although that little brat has Old Xu's instructions, he may not be able to sit still in that chair."
"As long as you are willing to help me take the position, I will start all over again after it's done."
"At that time, you will be the second-in-command, the tigers of Tsim Sha Tsui."
Du Shun and the other two exchanged glances, all seeing excitement in each other's eyes.
They had long disliked Old Xu's family, but they hadn't dared to do anything because of their power.
Now that Lao Xu has been arrested and Xu Cheng is too young to handle the situation, this is a golden opportunity.
"Don't worry, Master."
"We'll listen to you."
Du Shun spoke first, his voice filled with suppressed excitement.
Gui Tian and Li Tai nodded quickly.
Su Long looked at them, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Since the Xu family's approach isn't working, let's try a different path.
Using Xu Cheng's money to conquer territory, the empire they conquer may not even belong to the Xu family.
