At 4:30 p.m., it wasn't until Su, the clerk from Yau Ma Tei, appeared as a triad lawyer and paid bail to the police station that the rest of the gang were released from jail.
Of course, Dongguan Boy was an exception. The Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) charged him with murder, and he had no hope of getting out of jail for at least the next week.
"Ah Le, I'm not so old that I can't walk!"
At the entrance of the police station, Fat Deng pushed away Lin Huai Le, who came to help him, and walked unsteadily toward the Crown car that his advisor Su had parked at the entrance of the police station.
Lin Huai Le sighed, then told Ah Ze, who had come to the police station to pick him up, to drive away with Long Gen and the other uncles first. He then looked at Chen Piao and Shark Boy who were following behind him.
"I'll trouble you two to go back on your own. I have something to discuss with Uncle Deng."
"Let Daozai get on the bus too!"
Just as Lin Huai Le was about to open the car door for Fei Deng, Fei Deng slammed his cane heavily on the ground, his tone clearly leaving no room for doubt.
"This... Uncle Deng..."
"I know what you want to say. With such a big incident, the whole plan has been ruined. You suspect there's a mole in the teahouse!"
But I still maintain that people sincerely came to vote for us and Lian Sheng. Asking them to recuse themselves at this time would only invite criticism!
Fat Deng shakily climbed into the back seat of the car, took a breath, and placed his crutch across his legs.
Sitting in the car, he looked at Chen Piao outside.
"Get in the car, I happen to have something to ask you too!"
Chen Piao was still figuring out how to continue his plan when Fat Deng delivered a boost to his already dozing off.
There wasn't much to say, so he chuckled at Fat Deng, told Shark Boy to go back to the City That Never Sleeps first, and then got into the Crown car.
Helpless, Lin Huai Le had no choice but to go around to the driver's seat and look at the advisor Su, who was about to start the car.
"Ah Su, why don't you take a taxi home? I'll take Uncle Deng home!"
As a triad lawyer, Master Su is naturally very perceptive.
Without hesitation, he opened the car door and got out.
He first smiled at Fat Deng, and then stammered a reply.
"Well... then I'll trouble you, Godfather. Just park the car in Jordan, I'll... I'll have someone pick it up later!"
The vehicle drove towards Fat Tang's residence in Mong Kok.
Fat Deng started the conversation at the right time.
"Don't be discouraged by what happened. It's normal to be watched by the police when you're out in the business. Only those with rotten or moldy characters are left unattended!"
However, there is one thing we must be aware of: the police have learned of our conversation in the teahouse, including the plan for the nine districts to join forces and expand into Tsim Sha Tsui.
The original plan has to be completely overturned. I'm old and my mind isn't what it used to be, so I'd like to hear what good ideas you young folks have to offer!
Lin Huai-le was the first to speak.
"Uncle Deng, if we can't deal with the Ni family, then we'll have to resort to bribery."
I thought it through clearly when I was in jail. Now that things have come to this, we can only rely on the Tsuen Wan side to take action.
The Ni family has several hundred people working and eating in Tsim Sha Tsui. If all else fails, they can ask the nine district branches to allocate some business to them. The point is to establish a foothold in Tsim Sha Tsui first.
Chen Piao couldn't help but sneer inwardly. What kind of power did the Wo Luen Shing triads have? When it came to electing a leader and getting votes, an uncle could be bribed with just 200,000!
What kind of business could they possibly have that would be of interest to the Ni family and their associates?
However, he knew it wasn't the right time for him to speak, so he remained silent and waited for Fat Deng and Lin Huai Le to finish their conversation before speaking.
Sure enough, Fat Deng's face turned slightly gloomy.
"If you do it this way, then your position as the leader will be worse than a chicken's!"
Don't forget what your slogan was when you first came out to run for office. You said you wanted to lead the various district branches to share a piece of the pie in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Now that you haven't even taken over Tsim Sha Tsui, you're asking the leaders of the nine districts to allocate their businesses to other areas for recruitment. Do you think they'll still respect you?
Lin Huaiyue frowned deeply; every word of Fat Deng's was like a knife to the heart.
He knew full well that while Fat Deng was saying that the district leaders wouldn't submit to him, in reality, he, the de facto ruler of Wo Luen Shing, had reservations about his proposal.
Without Deng Xiaoping's support, his position as leader would be nothing more than an empty shell.
If Jordan's core support base doesn't develop, other branches will outwardly comply but inwardly defy him, and in the end, he'll be like the former leader who boasted—sitting in the top position for two years without accomplishing anything.
This is definitely not what Lin Huai Le wanted to see.
Fortunately, Chen Piao spoke up at that opportune moment.
"Uncle Deng, if I may say something I shouldn't, I actually think Brother Le's suggestion is good."
"A direct confrontation is definitely not an option right now, but winning over the Ni family doesn't necessarily mean using the business in District Nine as bait!"
Fat Deng glanced at Chen Piao sideways and spoke leisurely.
"From the fact that you were able to think of taking down Han Chen and stirring up the waters of Tsim Sha Tsui again, I know you're smart."
"Just say what you need to say. Don't feel like you're new to Wo Shing Wo and act timidly!"
"Alright, Uncle Deng, Brother Le, let me give you my opinion."
With Fat Deng's "golden words" spoken, Chen Piao's next words seemed much more natural.
"I worked for the Ni family for three years. Although I wasn't a big shot, I knew the Ni family's staff very well."
After Ni Kun died, Ni Yongxiao, in order to seize power, ruthlessly killed all four big shots who used to work for the Ni family.
Now that Han Chen is dead, there's only one person left who still has the authority to make decisions within the Ni family's inner circle!
Lin Huaiyue couldn't help but exclaim, "You mean Ni Kun's illegitimate son?"
"That's right!"
Chen Piao nodded: "It's Chen Yongren. Ni Yongxiao is a decisive man, but he values family the most."
In the past two years, he has been working hard to clean up his image, but all the family's shady businesses have been handed over to Chen Yongren.
This has led to Chen Yongren enjoying considerable prestige among these younger brothers. If we can win him over, we could even establish our dominance in Tsim Sha Tsui without firing a single shot!
Fat Deng chose not to speak. He knew that at this point, it was time for Lin Huaile, the leader, to discuss countermeasures with Chen Piao.
Lin Huaiyue didn't dare to be negligent and quickly asked.
What is your relationship with Chen Yongren?
"We wouldn't call ourselves close, but we've met a few times."
However, I know that Chan Wing-yan is a rather weak-willed person. Ni Wing-hau had asked him several times to come out and take charge in Tsim Sha Tsui, but he refused each time.
If I'm not mistaken, Chen Yongren is the kind of person who just wants to stay in the background and make a fortune, and is unwilling to step forward and take the lead!
This isn't Chen Piao making things up. If Chen Yongren's identity were that of an undercover agent, Chen Piao would have to praise him for his unwavering perseverance, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people!
But if you put him in the position of a gangster who makes a living through shady dealings, he can indeed be described as weak.
He himself was an undercover agent, so he knows best what undercover agents think about all day long.
They were constantly worried about their identities being exposed, yet they had to spare no effort in completing the tasks assigned by the police force.
However, you can't go too far, or you'll cause irreparable trouble, and it will still be noted on your record.
Even if you return to the band in the future, your future will be ruined. Even if you are assigned to the Silver Band to play drums and gongs, no one will respect you!
Lin Huai Le's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, but just to be on the safe side, he couldn't help but ask.
"Chen Piao, be honest with me, what do we and the Luen Shing need to give up to deal with Chen Yongren?"
"It's hard to say, but I can go talk to him right now!"
Whether or not we can reach an agreement, I'll give you an update as soon as possible!
"Excellent!"
This time, it was Fatty Deng who spoke, and his gloomy expression gradually relaxed as he reached out and patted Chen Piao on the shoulder.
"I can give you a bottom line right now: if Chan Wing-yan is willing, he can take over Tsim Sha Tsui and then hand it over to him to manage!"
If he doesn't want to take the lead, he can simply register under our company and Lian Sheng, and sit back and collect his lucky money every month.
As he spoke, he looked at the back of Lin Huai Le's head.
"Ah Lok, you absolutely have to seize this opportunity. For decades, I don't want to always be riding in a police car when I go to Tsim Sha Tsui!"
