Chapter 24: The True Master Appears

Jiang Tiansheng nodded in greeting with a smile on his face, and after entering Zhongyi Hall, he arrived before the Guan Gong Shrine.

The White Paper Fan Chen Yao grabbed a bundle of incense and lit it; the twelve Zha FIT Ren lined up in order behind Jiang Tiansheng to offer the incense.

Jiang Tiansheng sat in that unique armchair, took out a cigar case and placed it on the table, looked around at everyone, and said with a smile, "Apologies, I am late."

"Not at all, Mr. Jiang, we have only just arrived ourselves." Ji Ge, the Zha FIT Ren of the Western District, immediately said with a smile.

"Alright, let's start the meeting."

As he spoke, Jiang Tiansheng cleared his throat and brought the topic to the main point: "Brothers, there are two main things to discuss in today's meeting."

"The first matter: yesterday in Causeway Bay, Hung Hing's Chen Haonan, a subordinate of Da B, took out Fu Ge of the Big Circle, performing a service for the society. Which one is Chen Haonan?"

Chen Haonan stood up excitedly: "Mr. Jiang!"

Shanjie and the others also straightened their backs, feeling a sense of reflected glory.

One must know that not just anyone can enter the Hung Hing Headquarters; under normal circumstances, only Hung Hing's Red Poles are qualified to enter!

And today, as their Big Brother Chen Haonan was about to be promoted to Red Pole, they also felt a sense of pride.

"Not bad."

Jiang Tiansheng nodded with satisfaction.

Dalao B hurriedly reminded him: "Mr. Jiang, Chen Haonan has been with me for several years and has performed many services for the society. I would like to recommend him for promotion to Red Pole."

"Taking out a fleeing Daquan Fu Ge is nothing; you could have sent anyone to get that done," Dalao B's voice had barely faded when Feilao Li, the Zha FIT Ren of North Point who had a grudge against Chen Haonan, said in a low voice.

"You!" Dalao B immediately glared at Feilao Li.

Indeed.

Taking out a fleeing Fu Ge did not amount to much.

If the other party hadn't been a vicious Big Circle member, it is estimated that this matter wouldn't even have been mentioned in the headquarters.

"Both of you, say less," Jiang Tiansheng said coldly.

Back then, Dalao B's sister-in-law had been forced to take many lewd photos, which were published in a magazine by Feilao Li. After Dalao B found out, he immediately sent Chen Haonan and the others to burn the magazines.

Because of this, the two had developed a feud.

Jiang Tiansheng was also aware of this matter.

As soon as Jiang Tiansheng spoke, the two immediately apologized to him.

Jiang Tiansheng continued: "Alright, let's continue the meeting! Whether or not to promote Chen Haonan to Red Pole is related to the second thing I want to talk about."

As he spoke, Jiang Tiansheng looked at Dalao B and said meaningfully: "Da B, let me ask you, does your Causeway Bay Branch specialize in producing talent? Do you have some secret manual? Why not teach us a trick or two?"

Dalao B was still in the dark at this moment, and he puzzledly said: "Mr. Jiang, it is all thanks to your good teaching."

"Yesterday, another major event happened in our Hung Hing that made me very happy."

"Dumu, a subordinate of Da B, led men last night to sweep all the venues of Dapu Hei from Wo Shing Shing, and Dapu Hei was also taken out."

"At noon today, I still have to meet with the boss of Wo Shing Shing to negotiate. Is Dumu here? Come out and show your face so everyone can get to know you."

Jiang Tiansheng truly found it difficult to hide his smile.

After all, Wo Shing Shing's strength was greater than Hung Hing's, and Dapu Hei was a senior who had been famous in the underworld for a long time. Yet, such a guy was taken out by Dumu, who had only joined Hung Hing not long ago, and a large piece of territory was seized. How could he not be happy?

"Clatter!"

A muscular tank with a fierce face and a height of 2.2 meters stood up from the crowd. At the same time, the chair rubbed against the floor, and everyone in Zhongyi Hall immediately felt a sense of oppression bearing down on them.

Dalao B widened his eyes in disbelief, stood up, and looked at Dumu.

What!

Dumu led men to sweep Wo Shing Shing's venues? Even Dapu Hei was dead!

What is going on?

Why hadn't he received any word of this?

Also, since Dumu and his group had already taken out Dapu Hei!

Then, before Dapu Hei died, did he implicate him?

At this very moment, endless fear engulfed his entire body. He kept swallowing his saliva, and even in this early spring, sweat kept pouring down.

Chen Haonan and the others, who knew the inside story, also stood up in shock at the same time.

"Everyone, sit down."

Jiang Tiansheng did not know the inside story at this time, and he gestured for everyone to sit down.

Afterwards, he said with difficulty: "Now everyone knows why I am so conflicted, right? According to the rules, Chen Haonan has been in Hung Hing longer than Dumu, but Dumu's contribution is greater."

"I am very conflicted."

"How about this, one branch having two Red Poles at the same time?"

He paused and continued: "Forget it, if that happens, you other branches will have something to say too."

"How about this: who should be the Red Pole? Every Zha FIT Ren, speak your mind."

"I voluntarily give up the position of Red Pole."

Almost as soon as Jiang Tiansheng's voice fell, Dumu stood up again.

"Uh!"

"Hm?"

The eyes of everyone in the headquarters fell on Dumu. Was there actually someone who would refuse such a good thing?

The whole room went quiet, looking at him. Dumu paused and continued: "Because there is someone more suitable than me to be the Red Pole, and that is my Big Brother!!"

"What does that mean?"

"Lanzai Jun?"

"Didn't he get taken out?"

The Zha FIT Ren and Red Poles in the headquarters whispered to each other, not understanding what Dumu meant.

Just at this moment,

"Sorry, I'm late."

Outside the door, a voice as refreshing as a spring breeze rang out.

A young man with handsome features, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walked slowly into the main hall.

In an instant,

Dalao B was scared out of his wits, pointing at Chen Jiajun in disbelief.

The reason was simple: murdering a brother is a grave crime in any triad!

Furthermore, his income within the triad would be confiscated; such a turncoat is almost universally despised by gangsters.

Chen Haonan could barely stay seated either, because he was also aware of this matter.

How could a dead man possibly come back to life?

Chen Jiajun looked slowly toward Dalao B and smiled: "B Ge, I'm not dead! Is it a surprise?"

"Fuck your mother, what is going on with you?" Shisimei stood up, her eyes red as she pointed at Chen Jiajun, feeling as if her emotions had been toyed with.

Jiang Tiansheng wore an amused smile, his gaze shifting between Dalao B and Chen Jiajun: "You must be Lanzai Jun, right? What exactly is going on?"

"It's simple."

"Yesterday, B Ge sent me to the Walled City to collect a debt from Heishui Qiang, but I was ambushed as soon as I entered."

"Luckily, I brought enough men, and with plenty of men and guns, I took care of the four killers!"

"Unfortunately, no one was left alive."

At this point, Chen Jiajun showed a look of regret on his face: "I continued to find Heishui Qiang to collect the debt; Heishui Qiang wouldn't give me face, so I sent him straight down to sell salted duck eggs and collected five million."

Lao E, who had accompanied him, threw a bag of Hong Kong Dollar onto the table.

Everyone's heart tightened, and some even clenched their fists until their knuckles turned white.

Heishui Qiang was a long-established drug dealer known for his ruthlessness; Chen Jiajun spoke of it lightly, but a total of fifty-eight people had died inside!

How did Lanzai Jun manage it?

If it were any one of them, they wouldn't dare guarantee they could escape unscathed in such a situation, let alone wipe out Heishui Qiang's entire operation.

Chen Jiajun's voice continued:

"After leaving the Walled City, in order to investigate who wanted to kill me, I didn't dare show my face, so I had my brothers return to Causeway Bay first to set off a Smoke Bomb."

"The mastermind behind the scenes will always surface."

"And this person!"

As he spoke, Chen Jiajun paused, his eyes drifting over Dalao B.

Dalao B's hands could not stop trembling, and his features were twisted because of it.
