Chapter 157: The Candidate for Causeway Bay Big Boss

Last night we buried Big B and his entire family alive, and cleaned the scene spotless; in theory, even after several years, the bodies of Big B's whole family might never be discovered.

Yet after just one night, the police discovered Big B's corpse.

It must have been someone who called the police and told them the burial site.

Last night Big B was taken away by Jingkun's subordinate Sha Qiang, and many people know this.

If Big B and his family vanished alive and their bodies were never found, Jingkun could still brush the matter aside.

But now his whole family is dead; even if Jingkun stubbornly refuses to admit it, some will think Jingkun did it.

Indeed, Jingkun is the one who did it.

Nevertheless, since there is no evidence, people will only discuss it privately and won't act against Jingkun openly.

However, Big B is one of the twelve big bosses of Great Prosperity, and his death is no small matter.

Holding a Triad Society meeting for this is worthwhile.

"Since everyone is present, let's start the meeting now."

Chui Shui Ji turned his head and asked, "Mr. Li, Chen Yao hasn't arrived yet; should we wait for him?"

Jingkun glanced at Chui Shui Ji and said to the crowd, "Chen Yao has some personal issues and needs to leave Gangdao for a while. The matters he was handling, I will have someone temporarily take over, and will return them to Chen Yao when he comes back."

Any other questions?

Seeing no reaction, Jingkun continued, "Today's meeting is about Big B."

"This morning, the police informed us that Big B's whole family was eliminated; you all should know, right?"

The big bosses sitting at the front, some of whom are well‑informed, had already heard the news before arriving.

Those who hadn't heard earlier just now passed the news among themselves, and now everyone knows.

Among the big foot soldiers sitting in the back, some who arrived later only learned of it now and were startled by the news.

"Brother Jing, which bastard killed our Big B? Great Prosperity will definitely avenge him!"

"Exactly, we must take revenge."

A few big foot soldiers from Causeway Bay stood up and shouted.

They are the Causeway Bay big foot soldiers; Big B is their leader, and avenging their leader is a matter of principle.

However, though they shout loudly on the surface, we don't know if they truly feel that way inside.

Over the years, Big B has constantly suppressed the development of his subordinates, so they are not much stronger than the old Four and Nine.

With Big B dead, not only is the suppression gone, they might even ascend to become big bosses themselves, perhaps they're happy about it.

Nevertheless, Big B was the Causeway Bay big boss, their leader, and having just died, they will certainly put on a show outwardly.

The other big foot soldiers, spurred by a few, also began shouting for revenge for Big B, and the main hall erupted in noise.

"Quiet!"

Jingkun patted the table, silencing the crowd.

"Big B is our Great Prosperity big boss; he cannot die in such an unclear way. We must avenge Big B."

"However, we must not rush revenge; once the police find the murderer of Big B, we will make him pay with blood!"

Jingkun wore a righteous expression; if Chen Mo hadn't already guessed the truth, seeing Jingkun's demeanor, he wouldn't have suspected Jingkun of killing Big B.

"Now that Big B has just died, we have many more important matters to handle than avenging him."

"Ak, after this go to the police station and collect Big B's family's bodies. Their funeral will be handled by you; no problem?"

Chui Shui Ji pounded his chest and said, "No problem, we're all brothers of Great Prosperity; I will arrange Big B's funeral splendidly."

Jingkun nodded, "The funeral expenses and burial plot purchase will be covered by the Triad Society."

"Next, let's discuss what to do with the Causeway Bay big boss position. With Big B dead, the Causeway Bay territory can't be left unmanaged; does anyone have a recommendation?"

Jingkun's words pulled everyone in the main hall out of the previously somber atmosphere.

Especially a few Causeway Bay big foot soldiers, whose eyes began to shine.

Finding the murderer, avenging Big B, Big B's funeral—

These matters seem trivial compared to the upcoming question of who will claim Causeway Bay.

Do they really think these shorties are so loyal!

The real highlight of today's meeting is who can sit in the Causeway Bay big boss seat.

Although Causeway Bay's territory is small, its wealth is the best among Great Prosperity's lands.

Even Wang Jiao and Jianshazui can't compare.

When Big B was alive, Jiang Tiansheng backed him, and no one would think about the Causeway Bay big boss position.

But now Dragon Head is no longer Jiang Tiansheng, and Big B is dead.

Causeway Bay has now become a piece of juicy meat that everyone wants—a tasty morsel.

However, the Causeway Bay big boss seat isn't something anyone can just take.

Causeway Bay does have big foot soldiers.

Logically, one should be chosen from these big foot soldiers to ascend.

However, their strength is too weak; even if they get the seat, they may not hold it steady. Moreover, without a big brother now, no one backs them.

They are essentially eliminated; no one present would consider them.

Thus, the one who sits in that seat is more likely a subordinate of another big boss, or a big foot soldier affiliated with the Triad Society.

However, gaining the position is one thing; holding it firmly is another.

To keep the Causeway Bay big boss seat stable, one must be strong enough.

Chen Mo looked around and found that aside from himself, Thirteen Sister, Han Bin and a few others, the rest all wore solemn faces, eyes flickering, each clearly scheming.

The group of big bosses, each appearing steady‑eyed, kept their peripheral vision on the surrounding people's movements, and no one spoke first.

Everyone wants to push their own people into this seat, but they also know it's not easy to snatch; whoever speaks first will be easily targeted by others.

After several seconds of silence, the eldest and most senior Uncle Xing spoke first: "Um, Mr. Li, Da B's bones aren't even cold yet, and now you want someone to take his place— isn't that a bit too soon?"

Jingkun didn't directly answer Uncle Xing, but asked the other heads, "Do you also think that?"

After another silence, Aunt Jing said: "How about this: the position can stay vacant for now; whoever helps Da B avenge him can take the Copper Gong Bay head position."

Aunt Jing's words prompted the big shots behind to nod in agreement.

This plan looks the fairest right now and is also the least likely to cause trouble.

Chen Mo watched the crowd's reaction, then suddenly realized: "Isn't this meant to leave the Copper Gong Bay head position for Chen Hao Nan?"

"No!"

Chen Mo suddenly realized how to trip Jiang Tiansheng up.

"Aunt Jing, I think your plan isn't quite appropriate."

"Now we don't even know who killed Da B—how can we avenge him?!"

"If we never find Da B's killer, does that mean the Copper Gong Bay head position stays vacant forever?"

"Jingkun saw Chen Mo step forward, his eyes lighting up: 'Ah Mo, what do you think?'"
