Chapter 160: The Dragon Head Contest Has Never Ended
"Sister, Brother Bin, you came here because you want to know why I promoted Big Fei, right?"
Han Bin said, "It was, but on the way back we also figured it out."
The position of the top boss in Causeway Bay, although everyone wants it, there are actually very few who can sit on it steadily.
You promoted Big Fei first, which left Big Fei owing you a sizable favor.
"Brother Bin, true to his name, sees clearly. But during the meeting I didn't consult you, and you were still willing to support me; that really moved me."
"What's the problem? I'm your Big Boss, are you still afraid I'd be set up? As for Han Bin, would he dare not listen to me?" Thirteen Sister said proudly.
"Right, right, I follow your lead." Han Bin took over the topic, "But, Chen Mo, who do you think took out Big B?"
Chen Mo glanced at the few of them and retorted, "What do you think?"
Han Bin said in a low voice, "When I learned of this this morning, I sent people to investigate. While you were still away, my junior sent me news: Big B's subordinate said that last night Big B was taken away by Jingkun's men."
Thirteen Sister stared at Han Bin with a shocked face and asked, "Really? So it was Jingkun who took out Big B? Although they've always been at odds, he wouldn't be that ruthless, would he?"
"Sister, don't rush." Chen Mo poured Thirteen Sister a cup of tea, "The one who acted is probably Jingkun, but Big B's death may not be that simple."
"What do you mean? Is there some hidden detail inside?"
Han Bin also frowned and asked, "Chen Mo, do you know something?"
Chen Mo pressed out the cigarette in his hand and lit another.
"You've heard that Jingkun has suffered huge losses lately, right?"
"Heard about it, seems the police busted several of his powder warehouses. Could it be that Big B wore red shoes and tipped off his warehouses?"
Chen Mo sneered, "Brother Bin, are you overestimating Big B? With just Big B, where did he get the ability to locate Jingkun's powder warehouses?"
"Earlier I used the excuse of ordering a machine to get Jingkun to investigate the Triad Society's business. Later Jingkun told me that among those handling the Triad's affairs, someone was helping Jiang Tiansheng transfer the Triad's assets."
"Yesterday Jingkun took men and captured Chen Yao. Strangely, he didn't kill Chen Yao; instead he found a boat and sent Chen Yao out of Gangdao."
"That night, Jingkun took out Big B."
"Tell me, is there any hidden trick in all this?"
"In the early hours today, Chen Yao returned from the sea. My men followed him all the way to a villa in Shallow Water Bay; now that villa houses Jiang Tiansheng's girlfriend Fang Ting."
Han Bin and Thirteen Sister were stunned.
Chen Mo didn't state it outright, but the meaning was clear: Big B appears to have been taken out by Jingkun, yet the mastermind behind it is Jiang Tiansheng.
However, that conclusion is so implausible that the two found it hard to accept at once.
Konglong spoke, breaking the silent atmosphere: "What are you talking about? How does Big B's death involve Fang Ting?"
【7】 "Good guy, even Konglong only heard the name and understood nothing else."
【8】 "But that's normal; such deep stuff is indeed hard for him to grasp."
【9】 "You shut up and just listen straight. Whatever we say today must not be passed on!"
【10】 "If it weren't for coming straight to Chen Mo's after the meeting, Han Bin truly wouldn't have wanted to bring Konglong."
【11】 "Big B was loyal to him; how could he bear it?"
【12】 "Her dad, Chui Shui Hua, though a junior of Jingkun, entered Great Prosperity with Big B, so Big B is also her boss."
【13】 "Unfortunately, Big B is terrible as a person, and his relationship with Thirteen Sister had long faded."
【14】 "It's only been a few months since the last Dragon Head election, and the next Dragon Head election won't be for nearly three years. You don't think Jiang Tiansheng can just watch Jingkun sit in the Dragon Head seat for three whole years, do you?"
【15】 Thirteen Sister exclaimed, "You say Jiang Tiansheng is coming back to snatch the Dragon Head seat again?"
【16】 "It's not 'again'; the struggle between Jingkun and Jiang Tiansheng over the Dragon Head seat has never ended."
【17】 "Everyone says Jiang Tiansheng went to Holland, but I've always suspected he never left. It's quite possible Jiang Tiansheng is living in that villa in Shallow Water Bay."
【18】 "If Jingkun's killing of Big B's entire family becomes public, Jiang Tiansheng will have an excuse to drive Jingkun off the Dragon Head seat. Then he can rightfully sit back on the Dragon Head throne."
【19】 "I think that's the ultimate purpose behind his scheme to have Jingkun kill Big B."
【20】 "Damn, Jiang Tiansheng, that old fox is so ruthless!" Han Bin couldn't help but curse.
【21】 "Big B has followed him for so many years; since he became Dragon Head he's been loyal, does he not fear that his followers will become disheartened?"
【22】 Chen Mo shrugged, "Can't help it; Big B has no brains or strength, so his loyalty is useless."
【23】 "Perhaps in Jiang Tiansheng's eyes, Big B is only good for that."
【24】 "Alas!"
【25】 Thirteen Sister let out a sigh, not knowing whether it was for Big B's pathetic state or Jiang Tiansheng's cruelty.
【26】 "You brain‑players, your hearts are truly rotten."
Meanwhile, at the Shallow Water Bay villa, Chen Yao hung up the phone and entered Jiang Tiansheng's study.
"Mr. Jiang, Uncle Xing just called, saying the Causeway Bay position fell into Big Fei's hands."
"Big Fei?" Jiang Tiansheng frowned, "What happened? How did it get settled so quickly?"
"Uncle Xing said it was Chen Mo's suggestion. Most of the top bosses agreed; he couldn't stop it."
"Damn!" Jiang Tiansheng slammed the table in anger, "Why is it Chen Mo again! That damned bastard, ruining my plans again."
"Mr. Jiang, lately Chen Mo's influence has been growing rapidly, and he has many business dealings with the top bosses of the Triad Society."
"Now, when he says something, a majority of the top bosses in the Triad Society back him; if this continues, I'm afraid…"
It's only been a few months since the last Dragon Head election, and the next one is still nearly three years away. You wouldn't think Jiang Tiansheng could just sit by and watch Jingkun occupy the Dragon Head seat for three full years, would you?
Chen Yao's suggestion left Jiang Tiansheng in silence.
After a long while, Jiang Tiansheng said, "The top priority now is to deal with Jingkun. Jingkun currently sits in the Dragon Head seat, and he has a foreign backer; the longer it lasts, once he solidifies his hold on the Dragon Head, he'll be an even bigger trouble for us."
"As for Chen Mo, we can't ignore him. If he keeps developing like this, he'll inevitably become the next Jingkun."
Once the matter of Jingkun killing Da B's entire family is exposed, Jiang Tiansheng will have an excuse to drive Jingkun from the Dragon Head position. Then he can legitimately take back the Dragon Head seat.
"You contact the outside hitmen and see if they can take him out."
"Chen Mo's growth is fast, but compared to Jingkun, his foundation is shallow; in Jiang Tiansheng's view, Chen Mo is much easier to handle."
Da B has followed him for so many years, ever since he became Dragon Head he's been utterly loyal—doesn't he fear that his followers will lose heart?
Chen Mo shrugged: "No way, who let Da B have no brains and no real ability—aside from loyalty he's useless."
Probably in Jiang Tiansheng's eyes, Da B is only good for that.
Sigh!
Thirteen Sister let out a sigh, not knowing whether it was because of Da B's pitiable state or because of Jiang Tiansheng's ruthlessness.
You schemers, your hearts are truly dirty.
At the same time, in the Repulse Bay villa, Chen Yao hung up the phone and entered Jiang Tiansheng's study.
Mr. Jiang, Uncle Xing just called, saying the position in Causeway Bay has fallen into Da Fei's hands.
Da Fei? Jiang Tiansheng frowned, "What's going on? How was it decided so quickly?"
Uncle Xing said it was Chen Mo who proposed it; most of the big bosses agreed, and he couldn't stop it.
Damn it! Jiang Tiansheng slammed the table in anger, "How is it Chen Mo again! That damned bastard, ruining my plans again."
Mr. Jiang, Chen Mo's influence has been growing rapidly lately, and he also has considerable business dealings with the Triad Society's big bosses.
Now when he speaks, over half of the Triad Society's big bosses support him; if this continues, I'm afraid...
Should we take him out first?
Chen Yao's proposal left Jiang Tiansheng silent.
After a long while, Jiang Tiansheng spoke: "Right now the main thing is to deal with Jingkun. Jingkun now sits in the Dragon Head position, and behind him he has foreign backing; given time, once he secures the Dragon Head seat, he'll cause us even more trouble.
As for Chen Mo, we can't ignore him either; if we let him keep developing like this, he will surely become the next Jingkun.
Like this, let our people not move.
You contact the outside hitmen and see if we can take him out.
Although Chen Mo's development is fast, compared to Jingkun his foundation is too shallow; in Jiang Tiansheng's eyes, Chen Mo is much easier to deal with.
Okay, I'll go now.
Chen Yao turned to leave, but Jiang Tiansheng called him back again.
Don't forget to spread the news that Da B was taken out by Jingkun. Also, find a way to pass this news to the Shan Ji of Bay Island.
Should we hand over the evidence of Jingkun killing Da B to the police?
No need. Let's see how Chen Hao Nan performs first. If Chen Hao Nan wants to avenge Da B, we'll leave it to him; otherwise, we'll hand it to the police.
Okay, I understand.
