Chapter 108: Traitor!

That day, the heads and Big Brothers of every prominent society in the Hong Kong underworld, regardless of whether they held a grudge against Jiang Tiansheng or not, all came to see Jiang Tiansheng off, with the sole exception of the Hongle Dragon Head, Piao Ge, who did not make an appearance.

It could be said that Jiang Tiansheng's death caused a tremor throughout the entire underworld.

Jiang Tiansheng had lived a life worth living.

After a full day of busyness, the funeral arrangements for Jiang Tiansheng were finally completed.

Once the various groups had departed, Chen Jiajun asked Xing Shu, "Xing Shu, has there been no reply from Jiang Tianyang?"

"Ada, you have been in Hongxing for a relatively short time, so the situation is like this." Xing Shu's face showed his difficulty as he recounted the matter.

"Mr. Jiang and his younger brother were enemies. Back then, after Zhen Ge passed away, the rule of the Dual Dragon Heads was established.

But as you know, one mountain cannot hold two tigers, so Mr. Jiang played a trick and sent Jiang Tianyang to Stanley Prison. After Jiang Tianyang was released, he gave him a sum of money and told him to go to Siam to do business. From that day on, Jiang Tianyang never returned to Hong Kong for even half a step."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiajun's brows locked tight: "His own brother died and he still won't show up?"

Xing Shu shook his head and said, "Sigh, there is no help for it. The funeral you organized for Mr. Jiang today was quite grand; in the underworld, who would dare say you are unloyal or unrighteous?"

Xing Shu had actually misunderstood Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun had originally intended to take advantage of Jiang Tianyang coming over to kill him as well, completely severing any potential for the Jiang Family to cause trouble in the future.

After all, compared to Jiang Tiansheng, Jiang Tianyang had a sharper mind and more sophisticated methods.

As long as Jiang Tianyang was not removed, Chen Jiajun would always feel like there was a thorn in his heart.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiajun said, "Go and gather everyone for a meeting."

……

Half an hour later.

Hongxing Headquarters, Zhongyi Hall.

Chen Jiajun reached out to take the three sticks of incense handed over by Xing Shu. All the Hongxing Zha FIT Ren held the incense in their hands, lined up behind Chen Jiajun, and bowed three times to Guan Erye together.

Chen Jiajun sat in the Dragon Head's main seat, still wearing that black suit.

The Hongxing Zha FIT Ren, with the exception of Taizi, were seated on both sides of the long table.

The hall was silent; an invisible pressure bore down on the Zha FIT Ren and Red Poles. Some did not dare to look into Chen Jiajun's eyes and turned their heads away.

In the dim and gloomy Incense Hall, the candle flames flickered.

Half of Chen Jiajun's face remained hidden in the darkness, while the remaining side profile appeared even more majestic under the candlelight.

"In these past few days, have there been any clues?" Looking around, Chen Jiajun finally spoke to ask.

A few days ago, Chen Jiajun had issued a million-dollar bounty for information in the name of the Hongxing Dragon Head, which had shocked the entire underworld.

Suddenly, the entire underworld went crazy.

Especially those young street thugs at the bottom.

What is the point of being in the life? Isn't it just for money!

Xing Shu shook his head and said, "Ada, we have already spent nearly ten million, but there hasn't been a single useful clue."

Of course there were no clues, as the mastermind who did away with Jiang Tiansheng was currently sitting in the Dragon Head's main seat.

Chen Jiajun shook his head: "On the Police side, are there any new clues?"

"I spoke with a Probationary Inspector in charge of the case. He said that from the current perspective, the suspicion of Hongle's Apiao still cannot be ruled out.

The Police received information that before meeting Jiang Tiansheng, Hongle's Apiao seemed to have met with some people, but he did not reveal the truth to the police," Xing Shu replied.

"I received word that he likely went to see the drug traffickers from Myanmar North. Those drug runners can get their hands on anything, and that cyanide stuff is no problem for them at all," Jing Kun, who had also been a trafficker, spoke up; his information channels were quite extensive.

Ji Ge made several attempts to speak, but stopped himself.

Chen Jiajun caught his expression and, playing the thief crying 'stop thief', said, "I suspect the Police definitely have some clues, but they certainly won't tell us the truth. I will arrange a meeting with the Hongle Dragon Head, Apiao, to discuss this matter."

After a pause, Chen Jiajun shouted, "Also, bring Chen Yao, Gan Zitai, and Chen Haonan up here!"

Previously, he had them come forward to wear mourning clothes because it was for Jiang Tiansheng's funeral.

Now that the funeral was over, these people were in a state of atonement and were temporarily unqualified to enter the Zhongyi Hall.

The few of them entered the Zhongyi Hall with their heads lowered.

Chen Jiajun said coldly, "Failing to handle the task, failing to protect Mr. Jiang, how does it feel to be looked down upon by everyone in Hongxing?"

Chen Yao, Gan Zitai, Chen Haonan, Shanjie, and the others could not speak.

These past few days, they had also felt incredibly stifled, like a fishbone stuck in their throats.

Yet they could not say anything.

After all, when Jiang Tiansheng died, they were right by his side.

No matter what, they could not shirk the blame.

Chen Jiajun continued, "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Our Hongxing has lost too much face this time; we must fight, we must raise our banner again! Only blood can wash away the humiliation we have suffered.

Taizi, Chen Haonan, how to do it is up to you!"

"Yes!" Taizi replied in a deep voice, raising his head with a look of battle intent.

"Understood." As for Chen Haonan, his eyes flickered, and it was unknown what he was thinking inside.

"Rest for two days, everyone get prepared. Meeting adjourned." Chen Jiajun waved his hand.

After watching the Hongxing Zha FIT Ren leave, Chen Jiajun made a phone call to Ji Ge. The call was answered quickly: "A-Ji, is there something you found inconvenient to say in the Zhongyi Hall?"

"Yes, yes! Ada, I want to tell you something in private, it's very important!" Ji Ge nodded immediately, his tone even carrying a sense of urgency.

"Come to Guojun Building alone, I am waiting for you at Guojun Building."

……

Guojun Building, top-floor reception hall.

"Ada, the situation is like this. A few days ago, Shenshi Sheng suddenly called me and asked me out..."

As soon as he arrived at Guojun Building and saw Chen Jiajun and Xing Shu, Ji Ge couldn't wait to spill everything.

Two days ago.

Ji Ge received a phone call that left him feeling very surprised.

Shenshi Sheng arranged to meet him, and later, bringing a few underlings, the two sides met at a small Bar in Kowloon.

However, what shocked Ji Ge was that besides Shenshi Sheng, Piao Ge, the Dragon Head of Hong Le, was also at the scene.

Ji Ge said in a fit of shame and anger: "A Sheng, are you playing me!"

After speaking, he turned to leave, but the Hong Le underlings at the door all drew their Handguns.

Piao Ge stood up, smoked his Cigar, and said with varied intonation: "A Ji! I gave you face, which is why I specifically had A Sheng invite you out! No matter what, you will sit down for me whether you want to or not; don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"

With his head under the eaves, Ji Ge had no choice but to bow; Ji Ge turned and sat down in front of Piao Ge.

Shenshi Sheng filled Ji Ge's glass, and Piao Ge tossed a Cigar to Ji Ge, saying indignantly: "Jiang Tiansheng's death has nothing to do with me; now the whole of Hong Kong is pinning the blame on me!"

"Damn it! A Ji! Think about how many years I've known old Jiang; if I really wanted to finish him off, would I need to poison him? This matter might just have been done by Jing Jun!"

"He turned into a ghost, and came over to poison Mr. Jiang?" Ji Ge asked rhetorically.

At this moment, if Piao Ge could jump into the Yellow River to wash away his grievances, he would certainly jump into the Yellow River.

He had racked his brains for the past two days and still couldn't figure it out. He had even privately seized those waiters from the Gaorfuqiuchang and interrogated them under torture, but there were no clues at all.

Seeing Piao Ge's restless and unbearable expression, Ji Ge laughed in spite of himself: "A Sheng came to talk to me, wanting to turn a big problem into a small one; what do you want me to do?"

Piao Ge smoked his Cigar very urgently: "Peace talks are impossible."

Ji Ge nodded in agreement: "It's very difficult."

Brother Piao looked up at the ceiling and exhaled a long trail of Cigar smoke, "I've met with Ma Wangjian, Wuliang, and Fat Li; Wuliang and Ma Wangjian support me, while Fat Li neither supports nor opposes."

Ji Ge's heart skipped a beat, and he said sternly: "What do you mean?"

Piao Ge waved two fingers at his subordinates, and a subordinate brought over a briefcase, opened it, and placed it on the table.

"Jing Jun said he wants to unify the Hong-character factions when he has the chance; even if I reach an agreement with Jing Jun this time, he will definitely find an opportunity to mess with us in Hong Le later. Now that his foundation is unstable, we in Hong Le have a chance," Piao Ge explained.

Ji Ge understood, and he said calmly: "You want me to be a turncoat?"

"What turncoat, this is cleaning up the house! Also, Li Pangzi told me that you didn't vote for him; you took his money but didn't do the job, do you think you'll have a good end?"

Piao Ge used gentle persuasion, beginning to incite a defection.

Ji Ge looked at the pile of money, then looked at Piao Ge, and remained silent.

Piao Ge continued to analyze the situation for Ji Ge: "In the entire Hong Xing, his die-hard supporters are A Kun in Mong Kok, Shisimei in Portland Street, Han Bin in Kwai Tsing, Konglong in Tuen Mun, and Xiyan in Kowloon."

"On Hong Kong Island, he doesn't have many people he can use. I've checked his background; the number of people he can actually use on Hong Kong Island is only two thousand, and they are all planted in various venues."

"As long as you four remain still, I have the certainty of victory."

"Baji, one must be realistic."

After hearing Piao Ge's words, Ji Ge asked: "You want me to remain still?"

"You can be like Fat Li and choose to remain still. Or you can learn from Wuliang and Ma Wangjian and defect to our Hong Le; there will be no shortage of benefits for you. See how you choose for yourself."
