Chapter 485: If the Signboard is Big, It's Bound to Attract Wind

Lin Huaile made his move, and naturally, Da D was not about to fall behind.

It was just that he was too overbearing, and the uncles of the society did not like him much.

And Da D had never looked up to those Laogui of the society either.

Since that was the case, he might as well use this time to strengthen the forces under his command.

"Shuangfan Dong, has that batch of goods gone out yet?" Da D irritably pushed away the hostess beside him and said to Shuangfan Dong.

Shuangfan Dong nodded: "The goods are already prepared!"

"What is the situation on Lin Huaile's side?" Da D turned his head to ask his trusted aide Zhang Mao.

Zhang Mao sneered and said: "Still the same, he's been getting very close to a few of the society's uncles!"

"These old fogies, they'll definitely help that bastard Lin Huaile again this time!" Da D said with a gloomy expression.

Zhang Mao, however, shook his head and said: "Boss, that might not be the case!"

"Hmm?" Da D said, puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Mao thought for a moment and said: "I've heard quite a few people say that the ones the society's uncles are favoring this time aren't Lin Huaile, but Jimmy Zai!"

"Jimmy Zai? That kid who sells Category III Pirated Disc, Lin Huaile's godson?" Da D was stunned for a moment and said: "What right does he have?"

Zhang Mao said helplessly: "This kid is very good at making money, and he's doing legitimate business with quite a few Big Bosses!"

"Hmm?" Da D frowned and said: "Since when did this kid start making it big?"

Now, all the societies in Hong Kong were "de-blackening"; if he had a choice, Da D wouldn't want to touch Laundry Powder and arms either, as the risks were simply too great.

But his own temper was irritable, and he wasn't suited for doing business with people at all, so he could only engage in illicit trades.

Looking at Jimmy, who was doing legitimate business, he really had too much of an advantage.

Zhang Mao smiled and said: "But Boss, you don't need to worry too much. We're guarding against this Jimmy, but Lin Huaile has an even bigger headache! You have to know that Jimmy is his godson; dealing with him is even more troublesome!"

Hearing this news, Da D's expression finally looked a bit better. He pondered for a while and said to Zhang Mao: "I'm thinking, should we find a way to make the two of them fight like dogs?"

Dongguan Zai smiled and said: "That's a good idea, let me handle it!"

Da D nodded and said: "Dongguan Zai, do a good job! Next term, I'll back you to be the Headman!"

"Many thanks, Godfather!" Dongguan Zai said with a smile.

After returning from Guangdong Province, Jimmy had been thinking about his own problems.

It was clearly no longer an option for him not to take the position of branch leader now.

Not only did he have to take it, but he absolutely had to win! After all, although he was the one who spearheaded this Logistics Park, there were several Big Bosses behind it.

If this matter fell through, he would be the first to suffer the consequences.

Thinking of this, Jimmy Zai gritted his teeth at Daquan Bao; he was really quite unhappy about being forced into this position.

Moreover, the interior of Wo Shing was full of dangers; not to mention that this guy Da D was brainless, his own godfather Lin Huaile was a cunning old fox.

Wanting to beat him was likely not an easy task.

What he needed to do now was to rapidly expand his own forces.

So he called for Shiye Su and began to put the word out to recruit soldiers and buy horses.

Incidentally, he also went to the nursing home to see his former Boss, Long Gen.

Long Gen had already retired; now he sat paralyzed in a wheelchair, relying on Jimmy's support to survive.

Although he was also one of the society's uncles, he did not have the same say as Deng Bo, Chuan Bao, and the others.

However, Long Gen was very useful; not only were his connections extensive, but he could also maintain Jimmy's legitimacy.

Otherwise, some people would bring up the fact that Jimmy used to be a Majai for Ma Wang.

After talking things over with Long Gen, the old guy was very happy that Jimmy was running for branch leader, and he agreed immediately that he would help handle a few of the uncles.

And Shiye Su also brought back some good news; he had found a fierce powerhouse for Jimmy.

"Brother Jimmy, this is Wu Ge! From the 14K side, he's a good friend of mine!" Shiye Su boasted: "I helped him win several lawsuits; I was the one who handled his murder case last time—it was ruled as manslaughter, and he got out after sitting for three years!"

Wu Ge patted Shiye Su: "Get lost, didn't I pay you!"

As he spoke, he said to Jimmy: "I only recognize money, not people. Give me money, and I'll do things for you!"

Jimmy smiled and said: "I'm just buying insurance! I hope to get things done without troubling you!"

"That's none of my business. You came to me; whether I do it or not, you pay!" Wu Ge said coldly: "Remember, if you're a dime short, I'll slaughter you!"

Jimmy started to laugh, nodded, and then said to Shiye Su: "You take Wu Ge to get settled first!"

After seeing off Shiye Su and A Wu, Jimmy was just about to go back to rest.

At this moment, his phone suddenly rang; he picked it up and saw that it was actually a call from Ma Wang.

"Ma Wang, you looking for me for something?" Jimmy said, feeling a bit strange.

"Yeah, I heard you're preparing to run for Wo Shing's branch leader?" Ma Wang said with a chuckle.

Jimmy said with some surprise: "You're so well-informed, you even know about this kind of thing?"

Ma Wang gave a laugh and said: "I naturally have my own sources of information. How about it? Have time to come out and chat?"

"Sure! You name a place, and I'll be there right away!" Jimmy pondered for a moment and then agreed.

Soon, Jimmy took a car and arrived at a teahouse in Tsim Sha Tsui.

As soon as he entered the private room, Jimmy saw Ma Wang, as well as three muscular men with bulging muscles.

After Jimmy sat down, he said to Ma Wang: "Brother Ma Wang, what kind of favor do you have for me?"

"Introducing a few people for you to meet: the Jin, Yin, and Tong brothers. I found them as mercenaries from abroad! Not only are they great at hacking people, but they are also top-notch when it comes to playing with arms!" Ma Wang said exaggeratedly.

A flash of surprise crossed Jimmy's eyes; he had seen that these three muscular men were extraordinary the moment he walked in.

They even gave him a sense of oppression stronger than what he had felt from A Wu earlier.

"Brother Ma Wang is so generous; surely there isn't something you need to ask of me?" Jimmy looked at Ma Wang with a half-smile.

Ma Wang laughed awkwardly: "I heard you're doing business back home, take me with you!"

Jimmy reacted immediately; so this was what Ma Wang was after.

However, he said calmly: "Brother Ma Wang is well-informed, but my business hasn't even begun to take shape yet. If you send three fierce men over now, aren't you afraid I won't get elected and end up losing money?"

Ma Wang waved his hand dismissively and said: "Just consider it an early investment. You're a businessman too, you understand what I mean, right?"

Jimmy pondered for a moment, then smiled and raised his glass: "Then I thank Brother Ma Wang for your high regard!"

"Easy, easy!" Ma Wang said with a chuckle. After the two chatted for a while, Jimmy stood up to take his leave.

From this moment on, the three brothers Gold, Silver, and Copper became Jimmy's personal bodyguards, specifically to protect his safety.

Things were unexpectedly smooth, which made Jimmy Zai feel more confident, and his gaze became much firmer.

After Jimmy left, Ma Wang immediately let out a sigh of relief, took out his phone, dialed Chen Jiajun's number, and said with a fawning expression: "Mr. Chen, the task you entrusted to me has been completed! Your three subordinates have been taken away by Jimmy!"

Chen Jiajun chuckled and said: "Very good. I will have United Aerospace Capital help you settle your businesses in Los Angeles, but only this once!"

Ma Wang hurriedly said with gratitude: "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Chen! If you have time, please let me treat you to tea!"

"Enough. Since you've immigrated, don't linger in Hong Kong anymore, or be careful about getting caught and sent to the firing squad!" Chen Jiajun said irritably.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jiajun smiled and said: "Now that the news of Jimmy Zai recruiting men has spread, I estimate Lin Huaile and Da D will have new moves soon!"

Su Xingbai also added: "No need to wait for soon; I just received news that these two have already arranged to meet."

"Tsk, teaming up so quickly? Jimmy Zai is putting on enough pressure!" Chen Jiajun said with a smile.

By the fish pond, Da D was fishing with Lin Huaile.

"Before he said he wouldn't run, now he's running again. The punk actually dares to play us!" Da D said with a furious look.

Honestly, in this day and age, having money can represent many things.

For example, Majai, weapons, and so on. Even if a fight breaks out, if one side gives enough family support money and the other can't come up with that much, it will affect the outcome of the clash.

Jimmy Zai has been throwing money around in large amounts lately, which really scared Da D.

If they really fought, he might not necessarily be Jimmy Zai's opponent.

The other party could just crush him with money!

Lin Huaile smiled and said: "The guy is rich enough; he can casually throw out tens of millions to play with us. Today's young people are truly something!"

"What, are you scared?" Da D said with a dark face: "You didn't call me out here just to say this kind of nonsense!"

Lin Huaile shook his head and said: "Of course not, I'm saying let's join forces!"

"Again!" Da D said coldly: "You backstabbed me before, and I haven't even settled that score with you yet!"

Lin Huaile said indifferently: "We can't let the two of us fight and let Jimmy Zai pick up the bargain! After we win, we will still be the dual Headmen of Wo Shing!"

After pondering for a moment, Da D compromised.

There was no other way; the odds of winning against Jimmy and his group were truly very small.

Da D himself had no confidence against Jimmy, and the same went for Lin Huaile.

Thus, Da D said to Lin Huaile: "You tell me first how we should do this!"

Lin Huaile smiled and said: "Since he has money, we'll target his money! The reason this kid is so arrogant is because he has a Big Boss backing him. As long as we kidnap his boss and cut off his source of wealth, how can he fight us?"

Da D's eyes lit up: "That's a pretty good idea, but kidnapping these wealthy people carries significant risk!"

Lin Huaile put away his fishing rod and said calmly: "I already have a target. Recently, a boss surnamed Guo has been very close to Jimmy, and it just so happens I know a thing or two!"

Hearing Lin Huaile's words, Da D gritted his teeth and said: "Fine, I'll trust you one more time!"

A few days later, Wo Shing held a meeting to select the candidate for the next Dragon Head.

At the very beginning, quite a few uncles were backing Jimmy.

"Last time we clashed with others, brothers lost hands and feet, signed guarantees, and raised money for family support. Has Jimmy ever failed to pay? He paid the most. For the sake of the gang, one can pay money and exert effort. Now, who has more money than him?"

An uncle-generation member started by praising Jimmy to the heavens.

But Chuan Bao immediately sang a different tune: "Is it true that whoever has the most money can be the Dragon Head? Then we aren't needed anymore? Right, Deng Bo?"

Deng Bo had used this line to shut Chuan Bao up before, and now Chuan Bao used the exact same words to retort.

Then Chuan Bao continued: "I'm worried he will harm the gang! I'm not targeting you, Jimmy! He has an Undercover by his side. If he becomes the Headman and gets snitched on by the Undercover! Our Account Book and lists will all be exposed, and maybe even the Dragon Head Staff will be sent to the Peak Police Museum for an exhibition!"

This meeting was for the uncle generation to select the next candidate.

However, the current Dragon Heads could not participate.

But even if Lin Huaile and Da D didn't participate, they could still veto Jimmy through others.

For instance, this old guy Chuan Bao.

This old guy had always been backing Da D to go against Lin Huaile, but after getting benefits from following Lin Huaile, he turned around to support him. He could be called a standard fence-sitter and had never really gotten along with Deng Bo.

Using such a person to stir up trouble was the best thing to do, just like right now.

Although he kept saying he wasn't targeting Jimmy, anyone who wasn't a fool could see what this old guy was trying to do.

However, since Jimmy dared to run, he wasn't without preparation.

Soon, an uncle-generation member stood up and said: "Nonsense, who is it?"

Chuan Bao was prepared and said to Jimmy: "Don't you have a subordinate named A Li? The one with long hair! That underground gambling den in Yau Ma Tei was hidden enough, right? How did it get raided by the Police?"

Subsequently, Chuan Bao said to another uncle-generation member: "Da She, you speak! You're the one supporting him!"

The uncle-generation member called Da She was silent for a moment, then said: "One of my subordinates got caught, and he said it was A Li who leaked it!"

A Li was the little brother who went to Yuezhou with him last time.

The person was very honest and very obedient; Jimmy liked him a lot and had originally planned to personally take him under his wing.

Now with this happening, it was forcing him to kill his own subordinate.

So Jimmy's expression was very ugly: "Once I investigate clearly, I will handle it!"

"Good!" Chuan Bao clapped his hands and said, "Investigate slowly, clearly and thoroughly; don't wrong anyone and don't have any misunderstandings! Let's hold the election next term!"

Chuan Bao intended to dismiss Jimmy Zai's eligibility for the election in a lighthearted manner.

It had to be said that these old things all still had a few tricks up their sleeves.

Unfortunately, Jimmy was handpicked by Deng Bo; it was impossible for him to watch him be besieged, so he stood up directly and said, "Which society doesn't have an Undercover? Only a moldy society would have no one paying attention to it! Chuan Bao, you've been followed by people, and I've been followed by people too. Who among those present hasn't been followed?"

"If the signboard is big, it will definitely attract wind; that's just the fact! Jimmy, as long as you take care of A Li, everyone will have nothing to say!"

Jimmy fell silent and did not speak for a long time.

At this moment, an uncle-generation member who supported Jimmy spoke up, "If you can't bring yourself to do it, I'll find someone to do it!"

"No need, I'll take care of it myself!" Jimmy said coldly. (End of chapter)
