Chapter 025 As a cop, it's reasonable for him to have a gun, right?
Lin Huaiyue looked at Chen Piao.
"Knife Boy Piao, what do you mean?"
"Brother Le, who in this business doesn't want to get ahead? Would you believe me if I said I didn't want to be this regional leader?"
Chen Piao smiled as he spoke, then picked up his knife and fork and began cutting the steak on his plate.
He then said, "I don't want to lie to Brother Le, but ultimately, the decision on how to arrange things is up to you, the one in charge!"
Lin Huaiyue nodded, then fell into deep thought.
He originally had his eye on the power behind Dongguanzi and wanted to take the opportunity to help Dongguanzi rise to power and gain the strong support of the big boss Quan's faction.
But Dongguan Boy is now imprisoned, and the triad lawyer told him that even if he is acquitted, it will take at least half a month before he can get out of the police station.
Moreover, having learned from past mistakes, Dongguan Boy will definitely be a key target of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) in the future. It can be said that from the moment he was taken away by Wong Chi-shing, Dongguan Boy completely lost his right to run a business in Tsim Sha Tsui.
However, even though Dongguan Boy was no longer eligible, Lam Wai-lok still didn't want to bet on Chan Piao.
Firstly, he knew that by supporting Chen Piao to take control, although he nominally secured Tsim Sha Tsui for the triad, his actual control over the area would be compromised, which was not what he wanted.
Secondly, Chen Piao is an outsider, and he doesn't have any powerful gangs behind him that he can win over, which isn't a good thing for him to consolidate his power as the leader.
After much deliberation, Lin Huaiyue began to consider other candidates.
At the beginning of his reign, he adopted five godsons.
Of the five godsons, the most powerful is Jimmy, who has a thriving business in Sham Shui Po.
This guy is nominally the younger brother of Kwan Tsai-sum, but everyone knows that he is the real boss of Sham Shui Po.
In terms of strength, it is no less than Big D of Wo Shing FC.
Lin Huai Le had considered trying to win him over, but Jimmy was only focused on business, and his handling of the matter of Big D crippling Long Gen was lacking, which made Jimmy hold a grudge against him. Therefore, Lin Huai Le had no choice but to give up on this option.
That leaves only three candidates.
Su, the lawyer in Yau Ma Tei, is quite capable in all aspects and is also the gang's top lawyer. It's just a pity that he has a stutter and can only handle some clerical work. He doesn't have a team that can stand firm in Tsim Sha Tsui.
In addition, he was close to Jimmy and did a lot of business with Jimmy. If Jimmy didn't want to take the lead, he might not accept his offer.
Lin Huai-le doesn't like to do things that are thankless and require a lot of effort.
Feiji from the Lei Yue Men is a character who is eager to get ahead, and he is also extremely loyal to his godfather, doing whatever he is told.
Unfortunately, this guy is simple-minded and only knows how to fight and kill. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who can be a regional leader.
In addition, there were many dirty and tiring jobs that he needed to do, and Lin Huai Le was reluctant to take the chamber pot out, so he also excluded the airplane.
As for Yuen Long's big head... Lam Wai Lok never considered him from beginning to end.
This guy is a complete good-for-nothing, except for his ability to recite the gang rules by heart!
Sending a good-for-nothing to oversee Tsim Sha Tsui is laughable. Not only would he, as the boss, not agree, but he, Lam Wai-lok, would also have to get past Fat Tang.
After careful consideration, Lin Huai Le finally had to admit that, at the moment, only Dao Zai Piao, an outsider, was someone he could support.
At this critical juncture, if they miss this opportunity, it's uncertain how much pressure and difficulties Wo Luen Shing will face in establishing a foothold in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Besides, Chen Piao is still following my lead, so I'll just consider it a favor and hope that this guy will be as loyal to me as Fei Ji!
Having made up his mind, before compromising, Lin Huai-le decided to ask a few questions that concerned him most.
"Chen Piao, you call me 'Big Boss,' and you've gone to great lengths to help Wo Luen Shing establish its presence in Tsim Sha Tsui. Logically and emotionally, it wouldn't be unreasonable to elevate you to the position of leader in Tsim Sha Tsui!"
Then he changed the subject: "But you should also know that you have a special identity. Although you were quite well-known in Tsim Sha Tsui before, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold your own!"
Actually, I really want to ask, why doesn't Mr. Chan personally step forward and take up the mantle of Tsim Sha Tsui for us and Luen Shing?
Chen Yongren waved his hand: "Brother Lok, the cops are keeping such a close eye on the Ni family. If I come out to take the lead now, it will only bring trouble to you and the Wo Shing."
I witnessed Brother Xiao being shot and killed by the police, and I don't want to be in the limelight right now.
As for Lok's concern that Chan Piao wouldn't be able to handle the situation, it's not a big deal. The Ni family owns many properties in Tsim Sha Tsui, and the rent has been paid up to ten years from now.
With these territories under his control, I can assure you that the men below will not disobey him!
"I see. Forgive me for being nosy, but I heard from Daozaipiao that he and you are not familiar with each other."
I wonder why Mr. Chen is so keen on supporting his rise to power? Oh, and please don't misunderstand, I'm just genuinely curious!
"Simple!"
Chen Yongren chuckled and said, "Whoever becomes your brother Le first, I'll support them to take the position."
We're under a lot of pressure right now. Daozai Piao paved the way for me, so it's only natural that I support him!
"Alright! Then let's do as Mr. Chen says."
From now on, the Ni family will be doing business under the Wo Luen Shing name. I'll go find Uncle Tung tomorrow and open a separate branch in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Chen Piao will be the one in charge of this branch!
Having said all that, Lam Wai-lok knew that further discussion was pointless. Rather than continuing to ramble on, it was better to simply sell them both out, since planting the flag in Tsim Sha Tsui was the most important thing right now.
Chen Piao immediately raised his glass: "Thank you for your care, Brother Lok. I wish Wo Luen Shing all the best and good fortune!"
……
It was already past midnight when we got back to the city that never sleeps.
Shark Boy had brewed a bitter hangover tea in a beer mug and had been waiting for Chen Piao on the 5th floor for quite some time.
"nailed it?"
Upon entering the room, Chen Piao immediately asked the question that concerned him most at the moment.
"It's done! That bastard C, his eyes lit up when he heard I had 30 million worth of goods!"
"Damn, judging from the way he was inspecting the goods today, it seems we've been fellow Daoists for quite a while!"
Shark Boy quickly put down his wine glass and responded to Chen Piao in the same way.
Chen Piao sneered and walked up to Shark Boy.
"He thought I knew nothing, but actually I was just too lazy to settle accounts with him."
But it's good now, I was just worried about not having a reason to deal with him!
"Little Shark, get ready, we're going to Wan Chai."
"Brother Piao, what are you doing in Wan Chai so late?"
"Buy guns! Or are you really planning to sell that batch of goods?"
As Chen Piao spoke, he tossed Shark Boy's coat, which was hanging on the sofa, to him, and then pulled out a cigarette and lit it.
"You may not know this, but people in Tsim Sha Tsui call me Knife Boy, but actually I'm best at firearms."
Back when I was training at the police academy, I got A+ in all three shooting subjects!
Hey, how's your shooting score?
"A little bit worse than you, Brother Piao. By the way, who should we buy the guns from?"
Feeling guilty, Shark Boy was too embarrassed to admit that he had failed all his shooting tests except for the stationary target. He quickly changed the subject to try and cover up this embarrassing moment.
Fortunately, Chen Piao didn't press the matter further, and simply responded.
"Looking for the judge in Shui Bian Wai, those guys have made a fortune somewhere recently, partying in bars in Wan Chai until dawn every night."
I'm planning to go to him and get a few silenced pistols. A cop can't be without a gun, right?
Shark Boy gave a wry smile, didn't reply, but simply nodded.
……
Lockhart Road, Wan Chai, Tung Yiu Bar.
This is Tung Sing Yiu Yeung's territory. As a strip club, the atmosphere here is so intense after midnight that it's hard to describe.
On the stage, a dazzling array of women were showing off their figures while holding steel poles, each with a charming and seductive demeanor that made one's blood boil.
Looking into the dimly lit and noisy bar, the scenes were even more astonishing. There were even drug addicts who were having a good time and the dancers they had ordered flirting with each other, and some were even bragging!
Chen Piao led Shark Boy into the crowded area and found Judge, who was entertaining a few of his younger brothers, in a booth in the corner of the bar.
The judge was dressed in a burgundy suit, with light eyeshadow on his eyes.
To Chen Piao's dismay, the judge was actually holding a heavily made-up man in his arms.
The two were deeply in love, lost in their passionate kiss.
This scene gave Chen Piao and Shark Boy goosebumps.
"Judge!"
Unable to bear it any longer, Chen Piao couldn't help but shout at the judge, who immediately looked up sharply.
Upon seeing Chen Piao, the judge's lips curled into a smile.
"I recognize you. Uncle Ni brought you here to buy a gun before!"
Your eyes are mesmerizing; I can't forget them after just one glance!
Being admired by a gay man is definitely not a good thing, Chen Piao curled his lip and got straight to the point.
"I won't take up your time, I'll just get straight to the point."
I need you to do a business deal. I need two Glock silenced pistols and two hundred rounds of ammunition.
"Have someone take me to get the goods. You can continue your leisurely pursuits!"
The judge pushed away the male companion who was still lying on his chest and stood up immediately.
He picked up a glass, poured a full glass of undiluted whiskey, and handed it to Chen Piao.
"You're looking down on me for just two handguns?"
"No problem, if you finish this glass of wine in one gulp, I'll give you both guns, no problem!"
"I won't drink it, I'm afraid you'll mix in a little bit!"
Chen Piao refused without even thinking. At that moment, a hot girl next to him suddenly started laughing.
"Hahaha, Judge, you still don't have enough face in front of the Ni family. They won't even drink a cup of your wine!"
Immediately afterward, a burly man slammed his fist on the table and stood up, pointing at Chen Piao's nose and roaring angrily.
"Kid, don't push your luck!"
No one dares to refuse what the judge wants to deliver!
