【042】Bumper Harvest
Inside a small house in Sha Tin.
Ring ring ring~
A sudden, urgent ringing of a bell woke the camel, who had already gone to bed.
"Who?"
Camel picked up the phone, pressed the answer button, and asked.
"Old Ding, something's happened. Lin Haowen's men have stormed into Baole Lane and wiped out all of Dongxing's establishments."
Hearing the name "Lin Haowen," Camel felt a chill run down his spine, his sleepiness instantly vanishing. "What happened? Where's Lei Yaoyang?"
Lui Yiu-yeung's ability to be the only Tung Sing member in Tsim Sha Tsui, owning three bars, a nightclub, and a hotel on Prat Lane, a prime bar street, is all thanks to his talent and influence.
He had nearly 400 thugs and over 1,000 henchmen, making him one of the top five strongest gangs in the Tung Sing saga.
Camel didn't believe that Lin Haowen, a guy who had only risen to prominence a few days ago, could sweep away Lei Yaoyang's territory.
"Lei Yaoyang is dead. His men are leaderless and can't withstand Lin Haowen's gang of Diaojingling Big Circle Boys."
Upon hearing this, the camel sat up abruptly, its face filled with shock: "Lei Yaoyang is dead? How did he die?!"
"It is said that Yao Yang seduced Liu Yaozu's woman, Meng Na. Liu Yaozu went to catch them in the act, but Yao Yang killed him in return. Afterwards, Yao Yang tried to silence Meng Na, but she killed him in return."
"I confirmed with Yao Yang's men that Yao Yang did indeed meet with Meng Na at the Jingjing Hotel, and that someone did indeed break into the hotel and knock out Yao Yang's trusted henchman."
"Damn it, Crow and Wu Zhiwei have only been dead for a few days, and now Lei Yaoyang is dead too. Will the Five Tigers of Tung Sing become the Tigerless Tung Sing in a few more days?!"
After venting his anger, Camel continued, "Immediately notify all the leaders of the gang's branches, whoever it may be, to protect the gang's territory in Baole Lane, and I will hand over those territories to them!"
Camel knew very well that Lei Yaoyang's death was suspicious. He clearly remembered that Lei Yaoyang had told him last night that Liu Yaozu wanted to cooperate with him to deal with Lin Haowen, and now both of them were dead. What kind of coincidence could there be in this world?
However, Camel didn't think about it too much, because he knew better that the most important thing now was to stop Lin Haowen, not only to protect the lucrative Baole Lane, but also to protect the reputation of Dongxing.
Being kicked out of Tsim Sha Tsui by a newly emerging nobody makes Camel's face burn with embarrassment just thinking about it.
"Old Ding, Lin Haowen's gang of big-time thugs are like they've been injected with chicken blood, they're incredibly fierce, they've already taken over all of Lei Yaoyang's territory..."
The person on the other end of the phone said cautiously.
"Lin Haowen, I'll fuck your mother!"
Camel roared, "Damn it, Lin Haowen, that bastard, doesn't know the rules, does he? Notify everyone in the gang, no matter who it is, as long as they take back the territory in Baole Lane, I will not only let them manage these territories, but also promote them to the position of Second Marshal of the gang."
At this moment, Camel no longer cared about the promise he made to Li Wenbin. In his position, face was sometimes more important than life. Even if he would be severely punished by the O-Division later, he had to protect the reputation of Tung Sing tonight.
"Also, have someone keep a close eye on Mona and find an opportunity to bring her to me. I know Lei Yaoyang's skills; to be killed by a woman? Ha!"
The camel sneered, "I'd like to see which powerful figure is backing this woman!"
If Lin Haowen hadn't made a move tonight, he would have continued to investigate Lei Yaoyang's death at his own pace. After all, the reputation of seducing his second sister-in-law and killing the victim was indeed too tarnished, and he couldn't openly help Lei Yaoyang take revenge.
But at this moment, the camel just wants everyone to know that dragons have scales that cannot be touched, or death will ensue.
……
On the other side, inside a wine company in Mong Kok.
"Uncle Ben, Madman Fai was killed by Chan Ho-nam and his men from Hung Hing."
The leopard strode up to the old man and spoke.
"Okay, I understand."
The old man with white hair nodded slightly.
"Uncle Ben, Madman Hui was one of our men. He's been killed. Should we...?"
The leopard seemed about to speak but then stopped.
"A few days ago, Kuangren Hui met with Camel. Guess what conditions Camel offered Kuangren Hui?"
The old man with white hair shook his head and chuckled softly.
"Madman Hui has followed you for so many years, how could he...?"
The leopard looked astonished.
"Every man for himself, and the world will destroy him. Camel offered him a position among the Five Tigers. He's been stuck in Portland Street for so many years, it's normal for him to want to advance."
The old man with white hair spoke slowly.
Ring ring ring~
Just then, a cell phone rang.
"Mr. Jiang, you're better informed than I am. I only just found out that Madman Hui was killed..."
The old man with white hair smiled broadly. "You're too kind. Come to my company for wine tasting sometime. I've got a batch of 1985 Romanée-Conti..."
The old man with white hair finally hung up the phone after talking to Jiang Tiansheng for several minutes.
Standing before the old man with white hair, the golden leopard finally understood that the old man's secret help to Chen Haonan kill Madman Hui was not only to clean house, but also a collaboration with Jiang Tiansheng.
This also sent a chill down his spine; these old hands were all incredibly cunning and treacherous.
Tap tap tap~
A series of hurried footsteps sounded, and soon Cola rushed to the old man with white hair. "Uncle Ben, I just received news that Lei Yaoyang is dead. Lin Haowen's men stormed into Baole Lane and wiped out Lei Yaoyang's territory!"
"Lin Haowen killed Lei Yaoyang?"
The old man with white hair frowned slightly.
"No, Lei Yaoyang was caught cheating on Liu Yaozu's wife by Liu Yaozu..."
Cola recounted the story of Lei Yaoyang's "seduction of his second sister-in-law and murder of the victim" to the old man in detail. "I suspect that Lin Haowen took the opportunity to break into Baole Lane after hearing that Lei Yaoyang was dead."
"That kid's really well-informed."
The old man with white hair sneered, then continued, "However, this is also an opportunity for us."
"Uncle Ben, should I take some men to Baole Lane right now and take this lucrative piece of land back?"
No sooner had the old man with white hair finished speaking than the leopard, who had always wanted to be the boss, couldn't help but speak up.
"How much protection money do those bars and nightclubs collect in a month? If Camel can't handle Lin Haowen this time and get his revenge, I can make trouble for him."
"Once I'm in charge of Tung Sing and integrate all of Tung Sing's resources, I'll earn more than ten times the protection money I collect from these few plots of land in Bao Le Lane."
Seemingly sensing the leopard's disappointment, the old man with white hair said with a smile, "Leopard, Madman Hui is dead. You're in charge of his territory on Portland Street. Don't let me down."
"Uncle Ben, I promise I won't let you down!"
The leopard's eyes lit up suddenly, and it repeatedly assured him.
"Haha, if you work hard for me, you'll have power, status, and money."
The old man with white hair laughed heartily, then waved his hand, signaling the leopard and cola to leave.
Then, the old man with white hair picked up his phone and dialed a number.
"Give Charlie, the foreigner at Yau Tsim Police Station, five million dollars and let him find a reasonable excuse to crack down hard on those who are causing trouble in Bower Lane."
The police force's high-ranking officials only intervene in two situations: when they receive orders from their superiors, or when they have received sufficient benefits.
……
Inside a villa in Kowloon Tong.
If Liu Yaozu hadn't "voluntarily" confessed, Lin Haowen would have had a hard time imagining that this guy would buy the villa next to his own, dig an underground tunnel to connect the two villas, and turn the other villa into a "treasure vault".
Looking at the wall of Hong Kong banknotes in front of him, Lin Haowen's smile was extremely bright.
With this money plus several bearer checks from HSBC worth 20 million, the total came to over 70 million. Add to that the 300 million bonds that Robinson hid in the pet carrier, and Lin Haowen made a profit of 370 million tonight—a truly windfall.
This money is also his biggest source of confidence to take action against Tung Sing tonight.
After all, in Hong Kong Island, money is no object. As long as money is used properly, you can make even a millstone turn a ghost, let alone a ghost.
Ring ring ring~
Just as Lin Haowen was considering whether to spend money to upgrade the lottery system, a cell phone rang, interrupting his thoughts.
"Brother Wen, we've gotten all the bills, VIP lists, loan shark ledgers... we've gotten them all."
Wang Jianjun's voice came through the receiver.
"Thank you for your hard work. Clean your hands and feet thoroughly."
Tonight, the fish in Victoria Harbour will have an extra feast.
Ring ring ring~
Shortly after Lin Haowen hung up on Wang Jianjun, another cell phone rang.
"Lin Haowen, come to our usual spot right now, I need to see you!"
Lin Haowen had just pressed the answer button when Ya Zi's voice came through the receiver.
