The meeting lasted from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. Everyone had to hand in their mobile phones and undergo a body search upon entry, and all accompanying persons had to wait outside.
Lawyers are not allowed to be present, recording is prohibited, and relaying information is not permitted.
Xu Lang didn't come.
He handed over the integration rights to Hu Dami and Hengmei.
But Tiger Dami's first sentence made it very clear:
"You are able to sit at this table today because the money in your hands is still flowing through our Dongxing's accounts!"
"But from now on, anyone who dares to accept money from outside sources without a contract or review process will have their order cancelled on the spot!"
"You can choose not to cooperate, but you need to think carefully about whether you'll still be able to see your accounts tomorrow morning!"
No one dared to speak.
Several people who tried to pretend not to hear were directly called upon to come on stage and explain the flow of funds, and the accounts were reconciled on the spot.
One of the logistics intermediaries had an extra two million yuan in unexplained funds on its books. The person in charge on site said it was for "loan turnover." However, after investigation, it was found that the loan company was affiliated with an overseas trust, and the legal representative was the same person who had left the old association "Juxingtang".
Without saying a word, he simply took the person away.
The entire venue suddenly became as quiet as a cemetery.
After the meeting that night, 42 out of 57 people signed the updated cooperation agreement, while the rest received termination notices and asset freeze orders the next day.
There was no room for negotiation.
Only execution.
After reading the summary of the evening, Xu Lang only asked one question: "Where is the person in charge of the agency?"
Hong Wentong replied in a low voice, "Still waiting downstairs!"
Xu Lang nodded.
"Send it to Lei Yaoyang and let him handle it himself!"
"From now on, anyone who uses this kind of person as an excuse will have their entire supply chain shut down!"
"Dongxing's resources will not be given to those who don't know their place!" (This is a public announcement.)
Chapter 646 Unable to Get Out
"We can forgo the money, we can abandon the territory, but the accounts and the people must be clean!"
He spoke in a flat tone, as if he were talking about the weather.
But this one sentence pushed the rules of the entire underworld a step further.
From that night on, everyone understood that Xu Lang wasn't trying to follow the rules, but rather to change them, and to make everyone listen to his rules.
In the underground of Hong Kong Island, only one voice is allowed.
Only one king is allowed.
Four days after the integration meeting, Hong Kong Island's underworld fell into a brief silence once again.
Those who tried to sit back and watch the fight, or even secretly placed bets, have either withdrawn or voluntarily conceded defeat after this round of reckoning.
No one dares to hide anything behind contracts anymore, and no one dares to use the guise of "chamber of commerce" or "investment" to engage in gang-like activities.
In the past few days, none of the various branches of the Tung Sing Gang have taken the initiative to launch any further attacks.
Xu Lang ordered a temporary halt to operations, drawing the main force back to the interior for a large-scale structural reorganization.
This is not a retreat, but preparation for the next offensive.
In the main hall, Hong Wentong summoned all his deputies, including Lei Yaoyang, Wang Jianjun, Hengmei, Situ Haonan, Hu Dami, He Xigui, the judge, and others. For several days in a row, they held meetings from morning to night to reconcile accounts, check people, restructure all cooperation chains, clean up all personnel arrangements, and completely straighten out the originally loose structure.
Xu Lang did not directly participate in these meetings, but he would personally review the summary reports every night and mark his opinions on them. Sometimes it was just a name, sometimes just a circle. His subordinates would understand immediately that this circle meant either a promotion or dismissal.
He knew that the organization needed to be thoroughly cleaned up in order to truly maintain control.
Once internal corruption begins to thrive, no matter how fiercely external measures are taken, it won't last long.
Although things were calm on the outside, intelligence gathering continued uninterrupted.
Ah-Ji led his team to investigate several intermediary companies with suspicious funds. Following the trail, they arrived at a shell property management company in Sai Wan. They initially thought it was just a nominal institution, but upon entering the premises, they discovered that the place had long been transformed into an underground vault-style document room. Inside, a large number of old invoices for smuggling, bridging loans, and fictitious projects were kept, spanning five years and involving no fewer than thirty companies and individuals.
After the materials were delivered to the headquarters, Xu Lang locked himself in his office for a full six hours.
He went through all the bills and numbers by himself.
Then, on the last page, write a line: "Floating Water Society!"
The Floating Society was one of the oldest underground triads on Hong Kong Island more than a decade ago. In its early years, it controlled the building materials and transportation market in the Southern District of Hong Kong Island. Later, due to internal strife among its senior members and a broken funding chain, it completely disintegrated.
On the surface, this name has long disappeared from the underworld, but the accounts clearly show that at least two companies with the same number were still using the old code name "Floating Water Society" for internal communication until three months ago.
In other words, this triad, which was thought to have "disappeared" by outsiders, has not actually disbanded. It has simply changed its appearance and has been hiding in the lower echelons of Hong Kong Island, relying on various "front men" to attract resources.
And now, they have finally surfaced.
Xu Lang circled the line of text three times, then said to Hong Wentong:
"The next ones, it'll be them!"
"check!"
"dig!"
"Uproot it completely!"
Hong Wentong immediately issued orders, and Aji, He Xigui, and Lei Yaoyang took action separately to begin a thorough search of the former territory of Fushui Society.
The first place to run into problems was an old logistics factory called "Hengyun Warehousing".
Chapter 647 I'm not trying to scare you
This factory was once the most core asset under the name of Fushui Society. Later, it was transferred to a company called "Mingchuan Investment" under its name. Then, it was attached to a trading consortium composed of three small shareholders. After several changes, it appeared to have been cleaned up on the surface.
However, within half a day of Lei Yaoyang's men entering, they found over three thousand transaction records from the past year on the hard drive of an abandoned computer in the corner, of which more than six hundred were transferred to peripheral companies cooperating with Dongxing.
Everyone knows what this means.
Xu Lang knew that this was no longer a simple infiltration, but a blatant act of "betrayal."
The resources under the name of Dongxing were smuggled out by these remnants of the Fushui Society through various means. They themselves did not show their faces, but were covered by layers of "agents", "investment advisors" and "transfer companies", so that even they could not recognize who was taking the money.
"You've really gone deep!" Xu Lang sneered as he sat in his office.
"Even our people can't get around it!"
"They think they can fool everyone by changing their appearance a few times!"
"If they want to pull this stunt, then don't blame me for tearing them apart!"
He quickly issued the order:
All companies, organizations, and projects associated with "Mingchuan Investment" are frozen immediately; all intermediaries with records of contact with former members of Fushui Society are to be brought back for investigation; and all peripheral units of Dongxing that have had overlapping data during the audit process are to have their cooperation suspended and be reorganized.
This round of operations was internally referred to as "Operation Uprooting".
Xu Lang personally selected fifty-six names and distributed them to various branches, requiring them to be processed within seven days without delay.
This isn't a task assignment; it's a declaration of war.
The various branches are moving very quickly.
Wang Jianjun immediately led his men to seal off an old outpost of the Fushuishe community in Wannan. It was an abandoned seafood warehouse with a sign outside saying "Site for Rent," but inside was a set of fake ledgers and a batch of mobile phone cards, bank cards, and fake ID cards.
Hengmei led his men to investigate a property management company in Wanbei. They discovered that the company was secretly controlling the leasing relationships of four commercial office buildings, kicking out the people under the name of Dongxingtang for "security checks" and replacing them with their own contacts.
That very night, Hengmei smashed down the door and sealed off the building.
Ah-Ji followed the clues in the old files and found an internal personnel list in a book rental shop. One of the people was a relative of the finance director of the Floating Water Society and was now listed as a "Regional Business Independent Consultant" who had connections with several bulk material companies.
·····Requesting flowers····0
The man was immediately invited to the main hall.
Xu Lang has not made any public statement regarding this round of "uprooting operations." All personnel actions, contract suspensions, account freezes, and venue seizures have been carried out quietly behind the scenes.
But the Hong Kong underworld knows that the target this time is not a new enemy, nor an outside force, but the older generation.
...............
It is the remnant of those old triads that once dominated Hong Kong Island but were later buried by time.
This time, Xu Lang isn't targeting his opponent, but rather "history."
His move was meant to tell everyone that Dongxing's existence was not to replace anyone, but to completely rewrite history.
On this island, no matter how many years you've been involved, no matter how well you've hidden yourself, if you're not a member of Tung Sing, and if you dare to take a single bite of Tung Sing's money, you have to be prepared to spit it out, with interest, with your face, with your past life—you have to hand it all over.
This is not a warning.
This is liquidation.
It was an old bill personally drawn up by Xu Lang.
No one can escape.
On the fifth day of the "Uprooting Operation," the remaining forces of the Floating Water Society were basically eradicated.
Chapter 648 Daring to Gamble and Daring to Lose
Of the fifty-six names circled, thirty-seven have been apprehended. The rest are either on the run or have gone missing, but none of them dare to reappear.
All funding chains associated with "Mingchuan Investment" have been severed, 24 shell companies have been deregistered and liquidated, and nine entities with business ties to Dongxing's peripheral companies have been permanently shut down.
Xu Lang sat on the sofa in the main office, holding a summary of the operation that had just been delivered that morning. He didn't open it, but just quietly held the "663" in his hand.
What he was waiting for was not the outcome of this battle, but the enemy's next move.
Because he knew very well that this was not the end, but only a phase of clearing out the accounts.
The Tojoyama branch won't give up; they can't possibly explain themselves to the Yamaguchi-gumi.
All the resources, manpower, and connections they invested, along with the local capital they gathered, went down the drain. They were wiped out by Tung Sing before they could even establish a foothold.
If the Tojoyama branch wants to save face within the Sankou-gumi, it has to take action.
The only questions are when and how they will release it.
At this moment, Aji delivered some documents.
