Chapter 157: There's No Cat That Doesn't Steal Fish

Chen Yaoxing was sipping tea and smoking a cigarette as he said to Piaohu and Asan: "Piaohu, Asan, the Hung Hing have pressed me too hard, I had no choice. So I sold the debt you owe me to them."

As the head horse of the Hung Hing God of War, Piaohu and Asan naturally possessed extraordinary strength; they immediately sensed from these few people an aura that made them wary, especially the leading man with the big slicked-back hair, whose entire being exuded domineering presence.

"How should I address you, Boss?"

Piaohu looked solemnly at the big slicked-back-haired man.

"Jiang Tianyang."

Jiang Tianyang announced his name; Piaohu and Asan had joined Hung Hing relatively recently, so naturally they did not know the true identity of the person before them.

After a pause, Jiang Tianyang smiled and said: "This debt you've owed for a full year already—when do you plan to repay it?"

As denizens of the jianghu, nine out of ten have the habit of playing mahjong, and one-third of them are outright gambling addicts.

To be a triad member: poor in the third watch, rich in the fifth watch.

Piaohu and Asan are representatives of this—though they hold the esteemed position of head horses to the Hung Hing God of War Taizi, they harbor a gambling addiction; a year ago, they owed a million in high-interest loans at the gambling table.

The person who lent them money back then was Xinji.

Because they were the Taizi's head horses, Xinji dispatched Chen Yaoxing as the debt collector.

After Jiang Tianyang returned to Hong Kong, he teamed up with Xinji's Si Yanlong, learned of this matter, and naturally took possession of the IOU.

Piaohu and Asan naturally knew why Chen Yaoxing had summoned them today, so they also brought some money; Piaohu produced a stack of cash and said with a pleasant expression: "Mr. Jiang, here is two hundred thousand—my meaning is, could we possibly get an extension?"

"Our Taizi brother is currently overseas serving as a judge in boxing matches; once he returns, we will definitely repay in full."

His voice grew lower and lower as he spoke; the other party had brought Shenxian Ke and Che Baoshan, and from their formidable aura, he could tell they came with ill intent.

Jiang Tianyang's face turned stern: "Only 200,000? It's already been a year—this amount doesn't even cover the interest!"

"Bang!"

Saying this, he slammed his hand heavily on the table: "You two are said to be old jianghu hands, yet today you think 200,000 can just send me packing—are you playing me?"

Asan flushed with anger: "Gambling debts are paid at the gambling table—don't you know that principle, Mr. Jiang?"

"What nonsense reasoning—I only know one thing: debt must be repaid! One million principal plus interest—I'll cut you a little slack, 1.5 million! If you don't clear this debt today, don't blame me for not giving you face."

Jiang Tianyang let out a cold laugh.

Chen Yaoxing also coughed once to state his position: "Asan, Piaohu, Mr. Jiang is a friend of our Xinji—don't be ungrateful; either hurry up and call to raise the money."

Piaohu and Asan immediately flushed red; they had owed someone for a full year, and this matter was indeed their fault, but where could they find money now?

Seeing the two hesitate, Jiang Tianyang let out a cold snort: "Well then, since we're all out here making our way, I'm not unwilling to give you time."

"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Jiang, we will definitely repay the money." Piaohu also immediately nodded.

Jiang Tianyang nodded: "Then, how long do you plan to take to repay me?"

As soon as this question was raised, both men's faces darkened again.

Jiang Tianyang saw their empty pockets and said coldly: "How long? Give me a definite time!"

Piaohu and Asan stammered, unable to answer.

Jiang Tianyang tossed his cigar into the ashtray, shook his head, and said: "Turns out you're just two poor bastards! Don't say I didn't give you a chance—now I'm giving you an opportunity to get rich."

"Mr. Jiang, please speak." Piaohu immediately asked.

Jiang Tianyang revealed a hint of a sly smile: "I deal in powder—I have a supply. If you're interested, we can all get rich together; within a month, you'll be able to recoup your money."

Piaohu's face changed drastically; he immediately refused: "Hung Hing's rules—you know them as well as we do—we can't do this."

Noting that Piaohu's exact words were "Hung Hing's rules."

Jiang Tianyang knew these two weren't resolute in their hearts; he spread his hands and appealed to emotion and reason:

"Rules are made by the dead, and also by the living—your big boss Chen Jiajun has just become Dragon Head, exactly the time to win over talent."

"What, not daring? You two have such small guts? If you don't dare, then don't come out here to mix."

Provoked by Jiang Tianyang's words, Piaohu also couldn't keep his composure: "It's not a matter of daring or not—we also have our own difficulties."

Jiang Tianyang suddenly exploded:

"Fuck your mother!"

"Or should I call you big brother instead—it's already been a full year."

"How about you two make a decision quickly—do you want to turn things around or keep sinking into debt? Speak for yourselves!"

Every gambler wants to turn things around—Piaohu and Asan are no exception.

Piaohu and Asan fell silent for over a minute; finally, Piaohu sighed and said: "Then where should we meet for the handover?"

Jiang Tianyang smiled: "Come on, I'll take you to get the goods."

Half an hour later.

Several people appeared in Kowloon Walled City; Jiang Tianyang led them to a heavily guarded room, where the guards at the door all had dark skin, with bloodlines from certain places in Nanyang, appearing non-Chinese.

"Mr. Jiang, A Zha is inside."

The guards saw Jiang Tianyang and immediately made way.

"Mr. Jiang!"

The boss of the Vietnam Gang, Tony's three brothers—A Zha saw the visitors, stood up, and strode over, clasping Jiang Tianyang's hand.

"A Zha, how's business?"

Jiang Tianyang shook hands with him, smiling as he spoke.

"Thanks to you!" A Zha beamed.

Jiang Tianyang revealed a hint of a meaningful smile: "I've brought two friends—Piaohu, Asan, Hung Hing youths—they want to take delivery."

A Zha looked them up and down: "I don't care about anything else—cash on delivery, goods on delivery."

"How much goods do you two want?" Jiang Tianyang turned and asked the two.

However, Piaohu and Asan had just paid the interest; now they were truly penniless.

Seeing the two exchange glances, Jiang Tianyang stepped forward and whispered: "Hey, you won't have brought no money, will you? Take out whatever you can—this stuff turns money fast; later you can come pick up goods yourselves."

Piao Hu spoke in a low voice: "I just paid the interest, I didn't bring any money."

Jiang Tianyang made a look of sudden understanding; he naturally knew these two had no money left.

He smiled and looked at A Zha: "A Zha, give them goods worth 1 million first, let them owe the money for now."

"Against the rules!" A Zha firmly refused.

Jiang Tianyang smiled and said: "He is the Red Pole of Tsim Sha Tsui for Hung Hing; them doing business with you is giving you face! Besides, I guarantee them!"

A Zha still had to give Jiang Tianyang face, after all, he and his superior Ba Mian Fo are very familiar.

A Zha looked at Piao Hu and Asan, then looked at Jiang Tianyang and said: "Since you've said all that, I'll give you the goods."

Jiang Tianyang stepped forward and patted his shoulder: "Loyal enough, I'll find you a few Malay girls later, let you have a good time."

After the transaction, several people left Kowloon Walled City.

Before getting into the car, Piao Hu said: "Mr. Jiang, why are you helping us so much?"

Jiang Tianyang looked at the two and said: "Whether I help or not doesn't matter; I, Jiang Tianyang, am just like this—I help those who look pleasing to the eye, no more words, waiting for your good news."

After saying that, he revealed a faint, thought-provoking smile and got into the car.

Leaving Kowloon Walled City, in the Bentley.

Jiang Tianyang took a puff of his cigar, revealed a faint cold smile, and said: "Majai, Shenxian Ke, remember to mix more poison into the goods we got from the Vietnam Gang; tomorrow send people to scatter the goods at various venues in Tsim Sha Tsui, including Xinji's venue."

"Brother Tianyang, I understand."

Che Baoshan nodded repeatedly; at this moment, Che Baoshan obviously still didn't know his true identity.

Jiang Tianyang had never told him either, only taught him a full set of skills.

To Che Baoshan, Jiang Tianyang was like an elder brother and father to him; no matter what, he would follow Jiang Tianyang's orders.

"Mr. Jiang, Hung Hing has had such a big incident; they will definitely tighten defenses." Chen Yao reminded, he deeply knew Chen Jiajun's character.

Jiang Tianyang looked at Chen Yao and said:

"Exactly, he will definitely order everyone tomorrow, no allowing Dao friends to enter Hung Hing's venues!"

"But there's no cat in this world that doesn't steal."

"Tonight our people go to scatter the goods; if something happens, did Piao Hu and Asan clearly say who is scattering the goods?"

"They are already in my grasp; I want to handle them however I want, and I will."

"You guys don't forget, spread the news that Piao Hu and Asan got goods from the Vietnam Gang."

Jiang Tianyang's tone was full of indifference.

To Jiang Tianyang, what are a few lives?

Shenxian Ke asked: "Brother Tianyang, should we recruit a batch of Majai? We now have only a hundred people combined; if we really fight with Chen Jiajun's people, we really won't be enough."

"No need to rush that much."

Jiang Tianyang sat calmly, his voice full of confidence: "Soon, we will have a batch of capable assistants! They dare to fight and kill, dare to do anything."

"Mr. Jiang, are you referring to the Vietnam Gang?"

At this moment, Chen Yao already understood Jiang Tianyang's scheme; he looked at Jiang Tianyang with a shocked expression.

"Hehe, get ready to watch the show."

Jiang Tianyang didn't answer, but looked out the window.

As Jiang Tianyang expected, Chen Jiajun, who spent a night in the Hong Kong Royal Police, was released on bail and immediately ordered all halls to tighten defenses!

Sunset, moonrise.

As night fell, the city quickly fell into darkness again.

Following the lights turning on, the city sparkled with charming yet sinister light.
