Chapter 244: I Won't Collect Your Corpse

"Brother Yan, troubled you again."

Fang Ting looked at the road ahead, glancing at Wang Yan who was driving beside her. She watched Wang Yan slap Ding Yixie away and break the legs of those people. However, compared to being surrounded and pointed at by guns last time, it was still far behind. Her acceptance limit was raised, and not only was she not afraid, she was even a little excited.

"Do you know Ding Yixie was testing?" Wang Yan shook his head and said: "If I hadn't discovered it today, and you hadn't told me, then this time or next time, think about the consequences yourself."

"I know, thank you Brother Yan." Fang Ting smiled sweetly.

Of course she knew the consequences. What wouldn't someone who dared to hold a gun openly do? It was just that she naively thought that with Wang Yan standing behind her, Ding Yixie wouldn't dare to go too far, and it would be nothing more than entanglement. She never thought about borrowing the tiger's power; if the tiger wasn't there, she was the dish.

"Why be so polite?" Wang Yan smiled: "How about going for afternoon tea together to calm your shock?"

"Okay." Fang Ting agreed without thinking: "But let's agree first, it only counts if I treat."

"I'll treat you. Last time I saved Fang Zhanbo, I got this car. This time, I got that convertible Mercedes, so I earned it. So don't grab it, I'll treat. After they send the car over, I'll take you for a ride when I have time."

"Okay, Brother Yan."

The most prosperous place in Hong Kong, now it was just a circle of Central, Causeway Bay, and Tsim Sha Tsui facing each other on the two islands. It had been a long time since he came over, and Wang Yan rarely strolled around when he had nothing to do, basically staying in his own territory. This time, just happening to be on the island, he simply drove to Central, this CBD, to feel the upper-class atmosphere.

There were many headquarters of large groups in Central, and the people coming in and out were white-collar workers in suits and leather shoes, with a prosperous atmosphere. Wang Yan's appearance was somewhat out of tune with this place.

Although it didn't matter what he wore, Wang Yan had long been tired of suits and leather shoes when he had nothing to do, basically wearing whatever was comfortable. Hong Kong was also a subtropical climate, with an average annual temperature of more than 20 degrees, plus the heat island effect under the dense high-rise buildings and dense population. Although Wang Yan wasn't afraid of cold or heat, it wasn't comfortable to be wrapped on his body.

Although it was December now, it was only cold in the morning and evening, and that was above zero, let alone the hot afternoon with the sun in the sky.

So Wang Yan was still his standard configuration: wide half-sleeved, big shorts, cloth shoes, plus the flashy look exposed outside, contrasting sharply with the surrounding environment and people, with a huge contrast. In the eyes of others, this was shameful, perhaps in Fang Ting's eyes too.

Feeling the dense gaze, Fang Ting felt like she was on pins and needles, sitting restlessly. Finally, after eating a piece of tea snack, she couldn't help but lean forward and whisper to Wang Yan who was eating and drinking opposite: "Brother Yan, why don't... why don't we leave."

"What are you afraid of? Just because I'm dressed like this?" Wang Yan waved his hand: "Follow my line of sight."

While speaking, Wang Yan raised his head and swept a circle. He saw that a group of strange and disdainful people's eyes were flying around, avoiding Wang Yan's gaze.

"You see, what is there? Eat steadily."

This place wasn't high-end, it could only be said to be okay, but they didn't encounter the situation where the doorman wouldn't let them in. Although he was a monkey, it didn't matter, it was most important to be comfortable himself.

To be honest, there were rules that must be dressed up in some high-end places. Although he looked down on various things, he wouldn't say anything. After all, the shop was someone else's, so what if they didn't do your business?

But if they were like those who called themselves upper-class, it would be a bit of showing off. It was just that he came in today. If there was a bloody scene, he would definitely make a scene and play. Although with his level, it was a loss of status to be familiar with those people, but he couldn't help it, he was too idle, and it was interesting to pass the time when bored.

Seeing Fang Ting absent-minded, knowing she couldn't stand the gaze, Wang Yan said: "What are you studying, Tingting?"

"Journalism and Communication."

"When will you graduate?"

"Half a year left, I'm going to intern soon, and I have to prepare my thesis."

"Have you found a place?"

"Metropolitan Finance Magazine, working as an intern reporter."

This question and answer temporarily relieved a little bit of the wrongness in Fang Ting's heart. Then Wang Yan talked nonsense about journalism and communication. When talking about the major, Fang Ting also gradually opened the conversation.

Although Wang Yan's image of a sloppy man lowered his score in Fang Ting's heart, the spirit of talking about heaven and earth and waving his hands made Fang Ting have a further understanding of Wang Yan. Combined with Wang Yan's identity, the sloppy man didn't count for anything. After all, he didn't even care about human life, so would he care about those small details? Instead, it showed his temperament more...

Overall, this afternoon tea was quite pleasant.

Sending Fang Ting back to the public housing, Wang Yan drove to the gym. Except for the subordinates patrolling the street and maintaining order, the remaining one hundred and more people were basically here.

Wang Yan hadn't been idle for these two months. After stabilizing the situation and standing firm, he had already started to recruit newcomers. With the time difference of withholding a month's wages, it was enough to ensure that he could continue to expand without collapsing. So one after another, Long Teng absorbed more than a hundred people, reaching five hundred.

Although Wang Yan was short of money this time and withheld a month's wages. But when it came to paying wages, the people who came first were paid truthfully in real money, absolutely without a cent less. With examples in front, plus the people working in the factory were mostly family members of the first subordinates, and the wages weren't low. It could be considered giving the later subordinates a beautiful fantasy, and Long Teng's good reputation was naturally spread out.

It was just that Long Teng's influence was too weak now, otherwise the anti-exploitation struggle of gangsters would still be staged in this world. People are afraid of comparison. On one side, they eat and drink well every month, and are paid five thousand, and their family's work might be solved. On the other side, the big brother eats and drinks well, changes his woman every day, and they get nothing. If they don't pay money, it's earning. How could they have no ideas? As long as there were a few people shouting, the mob bosses who were used to being comfortable still had to cut meat.

And after this period of time, the Ma'anshan area was basically developed. Gambling stalls, dance halls, bars, game halls, and so on, the big entertainment venues were all Long Teng's, protection fees were implemented on every shop, local ruffians and the like were all cleaned up, and it was prosperous.

It was also because of this that income, strength, and power couldn't continue to grow and improve explosively. Except for expanding outward, there was no other way. Now he was raising a thousand people, and the monthly salary was 2.5 million. Counting the salary differences of subordinates, it was heading toward 3 million. Counting the people raised by the technology company he set up, the monthly expenses were not small. Now the Body-Strengthening Pills hadn't opened the market, and the shoe and clothing factory had just made a name for itself and started to make a profit. To make money fast, he still had to fight and grab others.

So, this time, he wanted to swallow Sha Tin.

"Brother Yan, Ding Xiaocheng sent a car this afternoon, and also brought the procedures for the previous Mercedes. What happened?"

Seeing Wang Yan coming over, Xu Guanwen hurriedly ran to him, took out a cigarette and handed it to Wang Yan, and lit it dog-leggedly.

Wang Yan puffed out a smoke ring, lightly: "Ding Yixie caused trouble again, just broke one of his legs, nothing."

"Brother Yan is domineering, broke someone else's leg, and still wants people to apologize, powerful."

"Stop flattering." Wang Yan smiled and swept a circle of subordinates who were exercising in the field, and asked: "Are you all ready?"

"Rest assured, Brother Yan, guarantee no problem." Xu Guanwen patted his chest: "The brothers have practiced for so long, and we are still acting secretly without leaking the wind. It's absolutely one-sided."

Going out to grab territory, although it was also a big fight, the first-mover advantage was always there, and it was very big. So except for a few high-level subordinates who knew they were going to swallow Sha Tin, others knew nothing. If a subordinate knew they were going to do something big and talked everywhere, it would affect the plan. It was better to save effort if they could.

And the group of gangs in the center of Sha Tin, some big and some small, and several were even top gangs with thousands of people behind them. After this shot, Long Teng would basically be a public enemy in Hong Kong. But similarly, after this time, his strength would also expand, and he would have at least a thousand people, which wasn't easily manipulated by others. As long as he stood firm, it wouldn't be a big problem to come to a combination of vertical and horizontal later.

After all, no matter how complicated the situation is, it boils down to the word "interest." As long as it doesn't reach the point of life and death, as long as you understand the interests of everyone and every gang, there is room for negotiation and reconciliation.

"Don't be careless. If something really goes wrong, I'll take you first."

Xu Guanwen touched his head and smiled. He didn't dare to answer. If there was a mistake, what if Brother Yan broke his leg?

Wang Yan didn't care, just scaring him casually. After all, he was the big brother, and if something really happened, it was his problem. As long as the subordinate's handling of affairs had problems, it was his big brother's lack of knowledge of people. Similarly, if the subordinate's subordinate had problems, that was the subordinate's problem.

With nothing to do, Wang Yan understood the situation, guided the subordinates' training, and didn't leave until dinner time to return to the public housing.

Ruan Mei really took Wang Yan's words to heart. Dinner was really rich. Only to take care of the old lady's taste, she made a soup and a vegetarian dish. Others were either meat or seafood. Of course, there was no lack of iced beer.

Seeing Wang Yan eating sweetly, Ruan Mei was secretly happy, but didn't show it on her face, and gave Wang Yan vegetables without good air: "This meal cost more than two hundred yuan, must eat it all, don't leave any."

"Won't leave any. Come, grandmother, it's okay to eat a little less of this." Wang Yan made a big mess, cared about the old lady, and said: "Your craftsmanship is getting better and better, it's good."

"That's it, I said I was very smart, but you always said I was stupid, annoying."

Wang Yan shook his head: "It's different. Cooking well can't be equated with other things. It can only be said that you have talent in this aspect. As for the others... tsk tsk, forget it."

Ruan Mei rolled her eyes, and gave Wang Yan a punch on the shoulder fiercely: "Can't eating block your mouth?"

Wang Yan raised his hand and made a gesture of flicking his forehead, scaring Ruan Mei to shrink her neck, then reacted that he was scaring her, glared at him without good air, hummed, and continued to eat.

It was quiet for less than two minutes, Ruan Mei remembered the matter at noon: "Hey, how is Fang Zhanbo's master? Is he really crazy?"

"It can be considered half-dreaming and half-waking, but even if he hasn't reached the level of mental illness now, it's almost the same. It's all played out by playing stocks."

"Stocks? Fang Zhanbo is apprenticing to learn stock speculation?" Ruan Mei was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "That's right, didn't his father play stocks? It can be considered inheriting his father's business. I heard that stocks are very profitable, is it true?"

"Then haven't you heard of those who lost their underwear and jumped off the building?" Wang Yan said: "Just stop thinking about good things, wake up. You are so stingy, and you have that little heart, even a little loss makes your heart beat faster. If you lose a lot, I'm afraid you don't need to go to the rooftop..."

"I don't speculate in stocks, I'm telling you. Since you are not afraid of going to jail, are you still afraid of losing money? If you make a fortune, won't you save from being a gangster?"

"Do you think I'm a gangster to make money?"

"Isn't it?" Ruan Mei stared at Wang Yan with big eyes. He grabbed so many shops and collected protection fees, why not for money?

"Of course not." Wang Yan shook his head: "I'm a gangster, at most I'm doing some usury, gambling stalls, dance halls, bars, and collecting management fees. How much money is that? Do you know my newly opened shoe and clothing factory? A pair of shoes for one or two hundred, two or three hundred, I can earn nearly 50%. Isn't it more profitable than being a gangster?"

He was doing wholesale, and he had to leave profits for the distributing merchants. If he sold it himself, he could earn even more. The reason why he didn't open a shop to get any counters was because the price was wrong. No matter how much he said, it was useless. Everyone knew it was fake, and the difference was just that feeling. As long as his ex-factory supply price held up, the distributing merchants wouldn't lower the price to grab business, and the brand could stand up.

Of course, it was only pirating now. He hadn't made his own brand yet, otherwise he would open a shop. After all, his brand positioning was high-end, and he wouldn't go to the street stall to lower his status. The location of the shop had been selected, and it was being decorated according to the later big windows. In a while, he would go to the counter with other shoes and clothes, feeling ten pairs of shoes and nine fakes...

"Earn so much? It's true that black-hearted merchants are not wrong." Noticing Wang Yan's face, Ruan Mei stuck out her tongue, and then asked: "Then why are you a gangster?"

"Of course, it's for self-protection, not letting others bully me." Wang Yan shook his head: "Don't say I can fight, who dares to bully me. I can fight ten, one hundred, and two hundred? My shoe and clothing factory is so profitable, it's been fine until now, why do you think? Officials, businessmen, gangsters, who do you think is a good person? Without controlling power, how can you mix out? Just having money is not enough, you must have energy that matches it, understand?"

Looking at Ruan Mei's tangled and thoughtful appearance, Wang Yan patted her small head: "Don't think about it, it has nothing to do with you, eat."

Patting away the warm big hand on her head, Ruan Mei pouted: "How would I know if you don't tell me, really..."

Seeing Wang Yan eating by himself without paying attention to her, Ruan Mei continued: "Are you still going to the bar tonight? I haven't been there yet, why don't you take me to see it?"

Wang Yan shook his head immediately: "Not recently, wait a week. You'd better stay between the school and the public housing, don't walk around."

Ruan Mei's brain turned quite fast in this regard, and she instantly thought of the key, frowning: "Are you going to fight again?"

"Can it be, you thought of it so quickly?"

"Can't you not fight? It's not good to hurt others or hurt yourself. Last time you were locked up for 24 hours, I don't know if you'll be so lucky this time."

"I have to pay 3 million in salary to my subordinates every month. Do you think it's okay not to fight?"

"Didn't you just say the shoe and clothing factory..."

"You are very nagging, do you know? I have a sense of proportion, don't say it again." Wang Yan waved his hand: "After tonight, the whole Sha Tin must be decided by me."

Ruan Mei whispered: "Then don't let me walk around, really..."

Wang Yan shook his head without speaking. Her words really poked his lungs. No matter how powerful he was, he still couldn't protect his woman and had to be careful. But he had no choice. Unless Ruan Mei was with him 24 hours a day, otherwise there would be no safe time. Even if people from other gangs didn't move Ruan Mei, there were accidents, like a car accident, and the person would be gone.

Knowing that he couldn't control Wang Yan, and saying too much would annoy people, Ruan Mei stopped and ate one bite after another.

Wang Yan ate like a whirlwind and finished quickly. Looking at the rice still left in Ruan Mei's bowl, knowing she was worried about him, he smiled: "Come, call me Brother Yan."

"Don't want to."

"Call it to bless me with good luck."

Ruan Mei twisted and whispered: "Brother... Brother Yan."

"Louder."

"Brother Yan! Brother Yan! Brother Yan!" Ruan Mei shouted loudly, looking at Wang Yan angrily: "Is that okay?"

Wang Yan laughed, held Ruan Mei's face with both hands, and kissed her directly with his oily mouth, separating at a touch.

"Leaving, grandmother."

Then, he said to the old lady on the side who didn't want to look, and turned to leave. He didn't even go home, just went downstairs.

Behind him was Ruan Mei's shout after she reacted, and then she chased him out. But what she saw was the elevator closing and Wang Yan's gentle smile.

Staring at the elevator, for a long time, Ruan Mei pursed her lips and laughed, then her face straightened, and she wiped her mouth disgustedly: "Damn it... I won't collect your corpse..."

After speaking, she hopped back into the room to clean up the bowls and chopsticks...

Because this time it was to unify Sha Tin, and that was a downtown area, it shouldn't be moved too early. Otherwise, if it was too big, it wouldn't be easy to end. Until after eleven o'clock at night, when there were fewer people on the street, cars, new cars, old cars, good cars, broken cars, sedans, and vans started from all over Ma'anshan, merged into the traffic, and gathered toward the prosperous downtown area of Sha Tin.

Wang Yan arrived one step ahead, parked the car in the middle of the long street openly, leaned on the car, lit a cigarette, and puffed out smoke, with a faint smile on his face that wanted to be beaten... ===== CHAPTER 245 =====

Wang Yan arrived first by car, brazenly parking it in the middle of the long street, leaning against the car to light a cigarette and puffing away, a faint, punch-me-in-the-face smile hanging on his face...
