Chapter 130: Driving Back Wo Lian Sheng

A Long and A Hu brought over two hundred men under their command; nearly half of these younger brothers had undergone military training at the training ground, their combat strength far surpassing that of ordinary gangsters.

But for the moment they still could not drive back the Wo Lian Sheng men, because the opposing side simply had too many people.

Lin Huaile's side had a full five hundred-plus men—there was no helping it, Wo Lian Sheng just had the numbers.

Wo Lian Sheng claimed to be Gangdao's number one Triad Society, with over fifty thousand members; though that figure was likely exaggerated, it could not be underestimated.

Making up for insufficient combat power with sheer numbers had always been Wo Lian Sheng's way of doing things.

"Guodong, you go help out too. Try to win quickly."

Grabbing territory tonight was not suited for a prolonged battle. Once casualties grew too heavy, it would be easy for others to pick up the advantage.

Shen Guodong and the retired soldiers under him had extremely strong combat ability; the eleven of them were equivalent to over a hundred ordinary younger brothers.

Their addition rapidly changed the course of the battle.

These eleven men were like a sharp blade, plunging fiercely into the Wo Lian Sheng crowd, crushing everything before them.

Using a point to drive a plane, the scales of victory rapidly tipped toward Chen Mo's side.

A few minutes later, the Wo Lian Sheng men began to retreat; in under ten minutes, only Chen Mo's subordinates remained on the entire street.

Though the Wo Lian Sheng men had all withdrawn, Chen Mo was not the least bit happy.

Based on Chen Mo's understanding, Wo Lian Sheng's strength was by no means limited to this—how could they retreat so easily?

There had to be a trick behind this.

"Mo Ge." A Long, having swept the field, learned that Chen Mo had arrived and immediately came to his side to apologize. "I'm sorry, Mo Ge, we almost lost just now."

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Wo Lian Sheng has the numbers; I don't blame you. We won in the end anyway, just hold the position well."

"Guodong, take men to help A Long and A Hu hold this place. Stay alert, and call me if anything happens."

With Shen Guodong and his men guarding, Chen Mo felt relatively at ease. Moreover, the several streets Chen Mo had chosen were all adjacent to Mi Dun Dao, not far apart; if anything stirred, reinforcements could arrive in time.

Chen Mo was similarly unworried about Tian Yang Sheng's side. Chen Mo trusted the skills of Tian Yang Sheng and Tian Yang Yi, and the men they brought were also not few.

As soon as Chen Mo returned to Mi Dun Dao, Ahua came over to report.

"Mo Ge, we just caught a few of Han Chen's subordinates. They say they have news of Han Chen's wife."

"Oh? Where?" A look of delight appeared on Chen Mo's face.

Over the past few days, Chen Mo's men had been watching the Triad Society movements near Jianshazui, and since Mary had also been taken away by the police station, they had not kept tabs on her.

Later, when they wanted to find her, they could not trace her whereabouts.

Now, having casually grabbed two people, they unexpectedly obtained a lead on Mary.

This was truly an unexpected windfall.

"In Tunmen. According to them, Han Chen's wife, after leaving the police station, secretly fled to the Tunmen countryside. The person who drove her there was a friend of these men.

That person, while drinking with them the day before taking Han Chen's wife away, let it slip that he had rented an apartment for her in Tunmen."

"Take a few men and go bring Han Chen's wife back. Hmm... once you've caught her, keep her locked up in the bar. Wait for me to come back before dealing with it."

"Then what about here?"

"I'll stay and hold this place." Chen Mo pulled out a handgun and tossed it to Ahua. "Take it just in case. You know how to use it, right?"

Ahua took the handgun with a face full of pleasant surprise, ran his hand over it a couple of times, and said happily, "I know how. Learned it at the training ground."

"Alright then, go. Call me once you've caught the person."

Although this woman Mary was very beautiful, Chen Mo truly had no interest in her.

Not because she was older, but because this woman was too deep in her scheming, and she deeply loved Han Chen.

Even though Mary did not know that Han Chen had died at Chen Mo's hands, she would certainly pin Han Chen's death on Chen Mo.

If not for Chen Mo's instigation, Han Chen would not have ended up in his current state.

At this moment, Mary must hate him to the bone.

If she were allowed to escape, she might find every possible way to seek revenge against Chen Mo in the future.

Though Chen Mo was not afraid, he did not want to leave himself any trouble.

There was one more thing: after Han Chen's death, much of his property had been confiscated by the police, but there must still be some hidden dirty money in Mary's hands.

Chen Mo wanted to get his hands on that money—even a mosquito's leg is still meat.

In Zuodun, at Lin Huaile's hall, several Wo Lian Sheng uncles and Dragon Head Chui Ji were gathered around a round table drinking tea.

Although Chui Ji was Wo Lian Sheng's Dragon Head, the one sitting in the seat of honor was Deng Fei.

Lin Huaile questioned with a face full of indignation, "Chui Ji, why did you call and tell the brothers to retreat? If we'd held on just a bit longer, we definitely could have driven Chen Mo's men away!"

"A Le, a young man needs to keep his composure." Deng Fei stopped Chui Ji, who was about to speak, and spoke himself.

"The situation on the ground has already been reported to me. Chen Mo's side has quite a few experts; you wouldn't have been able to beat them.

It's not even twelve thirty yet, and there are still over three hours left. No need to rush."

Chui Ji spoke up to persuade him, "Uncle Deng, how about we switch to a different place to fight? Jianshazui isn't just those few streets."

"No good," Lin Huaile said anxiously.

"We've already had quite a few brothers killed and wounded over those few streets. If we stop fighting now, others will think Wo Lian Sheng is afraid of Chen Mo!"

Lin Huaile absolutely could not give up those few streets. Those streets were right next to his Zuodun territory; once they were taken, they would be his.

If they took a few streets somewhere else, it would have nothing to do with him. After all, the men used to fight for territory were from the Triad Society's other halls; he had no reason to claim the territory as his own.

"That's right, those few streets must be taken." Deng Fei also supported Lin Huaile; his thinking was the same as Lin Huaile's.

Lin Huaile was the next Dragon Head he favored; he had to start building momentum and strengthening his power now.

"The Divine Regiment must take those few streets. If any of your subordinates want to go grab territory elsewhere in Jianshazui, I won't stop them. But the Triad Society won't provide support either—they'll be on their own."

Wo Lian Sheng claimed to be Gangdao's number one Triad Society, with over fifty thousand men under its command, but everyone present knew the real situation.

Those fifty thousand-plus only counted if you included all the stable hands and hostesses under their command, plus those old-timers who had already retired.

If you only counted the fighters, having over ten thousand would already be considered good.

Among the various halls of the Heliansheng, only a few had the strength to fight for territory in Jianshazui, but they had no interest in Jianshazui's turf at all.

Like Da D and Dapu Hei—one was busy taking over Quanwan entirely, the other busy with smuggling and selling pills—neither took Jianshazui's territory seriously.

"Tell the men below to send more people over. Chuan Bao, you have Da D arrange for two hundred men to come."

"Uncle Deng, Da D won't agree to it. He's short on manpower too," Chuan Bao refused.

"That's right, Uncle Deng. Sending people to fight for Jianshazui means easy casualties with little reward. It's already hard enough scraping together over five hundred men."

The words of several uncles made Deng Fei very displeased, and he slammed the table hard.

"All of you, shut up! The younger generation these days truly doesn't know the rules, making excuses at every turn when doing business for the Triad Society. If this goes on, how will our Heliansheng still establish itself in Gangdao!"

"A Le, once Jianshazui's territory is taken, the turf is yours. Besides paying the Triad Society's cut, you'll give an extra thirty percent to be split equally among the halls that helped. Any problem with that?"

"No problem for me," Lin Huaile quickly nodded.

Earning a little less was still better than earning nothing at all.

Besides, with the territory in his hands, how the books were done would be up to him when the time came.

After Lin Huaile agreed, Deng Fei looked at the several uncles beside him with a dark expression. "Did you all hear that? Long Gen, Chuan Bao, Huo Niu, Shuai Gou, Shuang Fan Dong—you few, call your subordinates and have them send men over."
