Chapter 16: Jingkun Wants to Be the Dragon Head

Leading Da Tou back to Nüren Jie, they arrived at Jinsha Nightclub.

Entering the office, Chen Mo looked around.

Last night, the Hong Tai people had been driven out, and now the entire office had been cleaned up.

Chen Mo took another stack of Hong Kong dollars from his bag and handed it to Da Tou.

"Da Tou, take this money and get yourself settled.

Starting tomorrow, the five bars on Nüren Jie are yours to manage; you get twenty percent each month."

"Thank you, Mo Ge!" Da Tou took the money. Without counting, just from the thickness, he could tell it was tens of thousands.

This instantly made Da Tou's blood boil again, and he felt like kowtowing to Chen Mo.

After all these years of hustling, this was the first time he had gotten so much money at once.

Compared to Chen Mo, that stingy old Da B had the nerve to call himself a boss.

Clearly sitting on a treasure spot like Causeway Bay, his underlings were all poorer than the next.

"Ah Jin, have someone bring the stuff from my office over here. From now on, this is my office. Also, bring me the account books for Zhongguocheng Nightclub; I'll return them to Sister Mei later."

Since he had already established a foothold on Nüren Jie, it was only natural to return the Bolan Street turf to Thirteen Sister.

After arranging things, Chen Mo took the account books and headed to Dafuhao Nightclub.

It was still early, and the nightclub hadn't started filling up yet.

Chen Mo walked into Thirteen Sister's office.

"Sister Mei!"

"Ah Mo, wait a moment, I'm busy sorting out the accounts!"

Thirteen Sister was already getting irritated by the account books.

"Why not just have someone else handle the accounts? No need to do it yourself, right?"

"Damn, those sluts under me are all pros at seducing men, but when it comes to math, forget it—they're even worse than me!"

Account books for a branch hall were very confidential, usually only entrusted to the hall master or the White Paper Fan.

But right now, Thirteen Sister didn't have a single person capable of being a White Paper Fan under her—just hostesses and floor guards.

That meant she had to handle the accounts herself.

Chen Mo had already handed over all the accounts for Nüren Jie to Gao Jin.

He trusted Gao Jin completely.

Gao Jin was indeed a talent—not only could he fight, but his management skills were solid, and he kept the accounts crystal clear.

Chen Mo sat on the sofa and waited a while until Thirteen Sister finally got the accounts in order.

"What brings you here?"

Thirteen Sister sat down on the sofa at the other end, leaning back as if she had just been freed.

Chen Mo placed the account book in his hand on the coffee table in front of him and pushed it over to Thirteen Sister.

"Sister Mei, the account book for Zhongguocheng Nightclub!"

"What, you don't want the turf anymore?"

Thirteen Sister was a bit surprised.

Zhongguocheng Nightclub brought Chen Mo several hundred thousand a month—no small sum for someone in the Triad Society.

"I've got Nüren Jie now; it wouldn't be right to keep holding onto the Bolan Street turf."

"Alright." Thirteen Sister took the account book, glanced at it casually, and tossed it back onto the table. "Pass the turf over to Fatty Hui later; he's been with me for many years."

Fatty Hui, as Thirteen Sister's top lieutenant, had been with her much longer than Chen Mo, but he wasn't as good a fighter as Chen Mo, so Chen Mo had always stolen the spotlight.

Now that Chen Mo had gone to Nüren Jie, Fatty Hui had finally made it through.

After finishing the account book matter, Thirteen Sister brought up another topic.

"I called Jingkun today, and his attitude was a bit strange! You're smarter than me, help me figure it out."

"What's wrong?" Chen Mo asked, puzzled.

"Logically, Jingkun is the boss of Wang Jiao. As my subordinate, you planting a flag on Nüren Jie should have pissed him off, but instead, he was overly nice to me today. Don't you think that's weird?

Do you think there's something fishy going on?"

Chen Mo thought for a moment and figured that Jingkun was probably already thinking about becoming the Dragon Head.

Of course, he wouldn't dare offend Thirteen Sister now.

Once he offended Thirteen Sister, he would lose the support of three branch leaders.

"Sister Mei, the Dragon Head of Great Prosperity is supposed to be elected every three years, right?"

Chen Mo's casual remark stirred up a storm in Thirteen Sister's heart.

"You mean, Jingkun wants to be the Dragon Head?" Thirteen Sister said in disbelief.

Chen Mo's theory was far too unexpected.

For so many years, everyone in Great Prosperity had tacitly assumed that the Dragon Head's seat belonged to the Jiang family; no one had ever thought otherwise.

Ever since Jiang Tiansheng's father, Jiang Zhen, started it, the rule of electing the Great Prosperity Dragon Head every three years had been as good as a decoration.

Now that Jingkun had the idea of becoming the Dragon Head, in Thirteen Sister's eyes, it was no different from rebellion.

How could that not shock her?

"Great Prosperity's rule is no drugs, but everyone knows Jingkun is dealing powder.

Lately, Da B has been going head-to-head with Jingkun, and it's hard to say Jiang Tiansheng didn't have a hand in that.

Otherwise, with Jingkun's men and money now, where would Da B get the guts to cause him trouble?"

Chen Mo slowly lit a cigarette and continued.

"Plus, a few days ago, Da B's underling Chen Hao Nan killed Jingkun's sworn brother, Ba Bi."

It is estimated that Jingkun has already discovered that Jiang Tiansheng is targeting him.

So Jingkun has the idea of becoming the Dragon Head, both to save himself and to be able to expand the white powder business.

Thirteen Sister sat up straight and slapped the tea table with a palm.

"Damn, I said Jingkun's attitude toward me was so good, it turns out he wanted my support."

"Not bad! It's not just your support."

"Your relationship with Han Bin and Konglong is known throughout Great Prosperity. Gaining your support means gaining the support of the three leaders."

"So Jingkun will definitely not offend you before he takes the position of Dragon Head."

"Do you think Jingkun can become the Dragon Head?" Thirteen Sister asked, frowning.

Thirteen Sister is ultimately just a woman.

Whether she dresses as a man outside or plays with women, it's all just her disguise.

She has no ambition; she just wants to make a living on Bowl Orchid Street and doesn't want to get involved in pointless struggles.

"Hard to say, but what does that have to do with us?"

Although Great Prosperity only has one Dragon Head, the twelve leaders don't have much connection with the Triad Society.

Everyone just develops independently, not interfering with each other.

"No matter who becomes the Dragon Head, it's still the same payments, the same profit sharing, and it doesn't affect us much."

As for who becomes the Dragon Head, Chen Mo doesn't care; he only cares about who can bring him the greatest benefit.

Chen Mo's biggest plan now is to prepare, during the period when Jingkun is the Dragon Head and before Jiang Tiansheng takes him out, to seize as much territory and money as possible from Jingkun.

Just like he got money from Ba Bi's hands before Ba Bi died.

"By the way, you can also talk to Han Bin when you have time. Whether it's Jingkun or Jiang Tiansheng, as long as they give benefits, we'll take them; we just need to stay neutral."

After thinking, Chen Mo still reminded Thirteen Sister.
