Chapter 109: The Winds Rise and Clouds Surge

What Piao Ge had failed to calculate, despite all his scheming, was that the petty grievances between Chen Jiajun and Ji Ge had long since been wiped clean. Chen Jiajun had indeed harbored some murderous intent toward Ji Ge before, but considering Ji Ge's ability to play both sides, he decided to let him off the hook.

Another reason Ji Ge refused to cooperate with Piao Ge was that the strength Chen Jiajun currently displayed was far from as simple as just two thousand men; Ji Ge knew Chen Jiajun had a group of subordinates working at the construction sites of the Heng Lung Group.

Ji Ge had been looking for an opportunity to inform Chen Jiajun of this for several days, but because Chen Jiajun had been busy handling the funeral arrangements for Jiang Tiansheng, it had been delayed time and again.

After hearing Ji Ge's words, Xing Shu was furious. He slammed his fist onto the hardwood table, his eyes spitting fire as he gritted his teeth and said, "Measureless! Horse King Sword! Fat Li! These three turncoats! Ada, we must clean house!"

"First, go and invite Hua Shu, Han Bin, Konglong, Xiyan, and A Kun to come over."

Chen Jiajun stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, a thick Cigar clamped in his hand, watching the endless stream of vehicles and people below.

Having just become the Dragon Head, his position was unstable. He urgently needed a whetstone; he needed a hearty, decisive battle to stand firm and unite Hongxing.

And in this battle, the casualty ratio could not be too high.

Furthermore, Chen Jiajun could not send men to assassinate Piao Ge, because once that happened, the police would re-examine the case of Jiang Tiansheng.

Therefore, this battle could be won through strategy, but the key still depended on head-on strength. One more thing: he must ensure that Hongle and Piao Ge were taken down without shaking Hongxing's cash flow.

If a large number of Hongxing boys were arrested, the society would need a huge sum of money to bail them out, which would also be a troublesome matter.

To summarize: how to take down Hongle and Piao Ge with the minimum cost, without causing a massive uproar from the police, and without shaking Hongxing's cash flow?

This question!

Just standing quietly by the window for an hour, Jing Kun, Han Bin, and the others had already arrived, and they had long since learned from Ji Ge's mouth about Piao Ge inviting Measureless and Horse King Sword to defect.

"Better to clean house first. If you don't clean house, there will be trouble later," Jing Kun coughed and said to Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "No, that would alert the enemy."

"I'll go find a group of gunmen and just blow away Piao Ge of the Hongle Society. If we don't do something, people in the underworld will laugh at us," Han Bin said viciously.

"Taking out Piao Ge is simple, but it will trigger a large-scale clash between the Hongle Society and Hongxing. The police will definitely make arrests this time. When that happens, family support funds, medical expenses, and bail money—all of these will be problems."

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said.

"This won't work, that won't work, then what should we do?" Jing Kun said again.

Shisimei shook her head and said, "The police have been watching very closely lately. I think we should still clean house first. Once we start a major war with the Hongle Society, other societies might see us as easy targets and attack us all at once."

"I have already thought about what to do, but the attitude of the police is very important."

Suddenly, Chen Jiajun's tightly locked brows unfurled. He tossed the Cigar into the ashtray, looked around at everyone, and said, "Feilao Li did not join forces with Piao Ge, so let him go for now."

"Once the war with Hongle starts, Wanchai, Central, and Causeway Bay will likely be the targets of Piao Ge's attack. I need people to clean up the two turncoats, Measureless and Horse King Sword. Who among you will go?"

"I will go," Han Bin replied in a deep voice.

"You and Shisimei go together. Remember, bring them back to face Family Law," Chen Jiajun instructed.

"Understood." Han Bin and Shisimei looked at each other and nodded.

Chen Jiajun continued, "Konglong, you guard Tuen Mun. The Hongle Society has significant influence in Yuen Long."

"Don't worry," Konglong nodded.

Chen Jiajun then said, "A Kun, when the time comes, bring your elite to Wanchai. You, the fighters, and the other brothers hold the line."

"Mr. Chen, I would like to plead for a chance for Taizi," Hua Shu said in a deep voice. After finishing, he shouted toward the door, "Are you still not going to roll in here?"

The door pushed open, and Taizi walked into the reception hall, dejected.

Hua Shu shouted at Taizi, "Are you still not going to apologize?"

"Sit down first," Chen Jiajun pointed to the chair in front of him.

Gan Zitai sat down.

"Smoke," Chen Jiajun took out a pack of cigarettes.

After Gan Zitai took one and lit it, he said, "Ada, the waters of the underworld are truly too deep. I started as a fighter; before, I did whatever Mr. Jiang told me to do. Only after this incident did I realize that some things are not that simple..."

After Jiang Tiansheng died, Gan Zitai realized that the society's accounts were a complete mess.

And the fact that Chen Jiajun had handled it with such leniency also made Gan Zitai re-evaluate Chen Jiajun.

"Don't mention the past anymore; what matters is the future," Chen Jiajun stopped him as Gan Zitai was about to continue.

Xing Shu asked, "Ada, what should we do next?"

"I plan to do it this way..." Chen Jiajun laid out his plan in detail.

At the same time.

On Baoyun Road, inside a luxurious and imposing villa.

The Wanchai Tiger, Chen Yaoxing, sat respectfully before the Xinji Dragon Head, Si Yanlong:

"Boss, Piao Ge of Hongle came to see me. He said he wants to join forces with me to take over Chen Jiajun's territory in Wanchai. Whatever we grab is our own. However, our relationship with Hongxing has always been good, so this matter..."

"Did Apiao tell you how he plans to do it?" Si Yanlong was wearing silk pajamas and pushed up his black-rimmed glasses.

"Measureless and Horse King Sword have already agreed to defect to Hongle. Feilao Li will not intervene. Baji is wavering. Piao Ge says he is one hundred percent certain."

"I had some unpleasantness with Jing Jun before. This person is vindictive, so I want to take this opportunity... Of course, Boss, I listen to you."

Chen Yaoxing was from Kwun Tong, the Wanchai Tiger among the Five Tigers and Ten Heroes of Xinji. Later, after the Axe-man Jun ran away, he was the one who single-handedly upheld the reputation of the new generation of the Five Tigers of Xinji, undefeated throughout Wanchai.

"Ah Hing, decide for yourself. Do whatever you want to do."

Si Yanlong handed Chen Yaoxing a Cigar. The Xue family and the Jiang family had some friendship, but now the Hongxing Dragon Head was Jing Jun. Since there was a chance to bite off a large piece of meat, Si Yanlong decided to let Chen Yaoxing do it.

"Boss, I understand." Chen Yaoxing showed an excited expression.

"Do it well," Si Yanlong patted Chen Yaoxing on the shoulder.

Ciyunshan Estate.

Shanjie snuck into a dilapidated small room and took four or five Sanjiaqiang out of his pocket, tossing them in front of Chen Haonan and the others.

"I've gotten the hardware for you. What do you plan to do?"

Chen Haonan smoked and said, "If I really want to take out Jing Jun, will you support me?"

"We are brothers for a lifetime, we face mountains of blades and seas of fire together; I just hope that before you make this decision, you will be more cautious," Shanjie lit a cigarette and replied.

Hearing this answer, Chen Haonan's eyes suddenly welled up with tears: "Shanjie, Datian Er, Jiaopi, I am tired during this period of time; sometimes I don't even know what I am living for in this life of crime."

"That bastard Jing Jun, he knew that Mr. Jiang and we were plotting against him, yet he chose to let us go, but the death of B Ge!"

Speaking up to this point, Chen Haonan wiped his nose and said: "I know B Ge did things very excessively, but I was brought up by B Ge, and B Ge also sincerely wanted to help me rise to the top; I cannot forget this debt of gratitude."

"On one side is loyalty, on the other is emotion; what is right, and what is wrong?"

"I can no longer tell the difference."

"Apart from this matter of B Ge, Jing Jun and I don't have any deep hatred; since he let us go, then let our business with him be wiped clean."

"After the matter with Hong Le is finished, I won't owe Hong Xing anything either; I want to have a good rest, go to Sai Kung to open a small Bar, and I want to be alone for a while."

After finishing, Chen Haonan let out a heavy sigh.

Shanjie remained silent and patted him on the shoulder.

Datian Er looked at Chen Haonan with concern.

Chen Haonan, Datian Er, Shanjie, and Jiaopi—these few people are actually the most simple-minded group in the underworld; they value loyalty and care about saving face.

If it weren't for the temptation of a promotion, Chen Haonan would absolutely never have become enemies with Chen Jiajun.

Previously, because of B Ge's death and seeing the other party living so splendidly, Chen Haonan did indeed hate Chen Jiajun to the bone, but after Jiang Tiansheng died, Chen Jiajun chose to let them go, which made Chen Haonan feel incredibly tormented inside.

It also left Chen Haonan feeling lost.

Looking back on all the grievances and grudges along the way, Chen Haonan made his own choice.

He chose to stay away from the underworld after this battle!
