Chapter 295: First Encounter with Jiang Tianyang

The meeting ended, Han Bin and Thirteen Sister and the others returned to the bar office with Chen Mo.

Just as they sat down, Han Bin impatiently asked, "Mo, who exactly is this Jiang Tianyang that Chen Yao and the others mentioned today? You didn't seem surprised at all; did you already know about this person?"

Chen Mo nodded, "I know a little, but only that such a person exists. As for what he does or what he looks like, I'm not sure."

"Tsk tsk tsk," Han Bin said with a rueful face, "What a pity about Jiang Tiansheng's inheritance. I originally wanted a share of it."

Now there's no chance!

Thirteen Sister glanced at Han Bin and said, "Look at you, such a good‑for‑nothing; are you short of that bit of money?"

"I'm not short, not at all; isn't it good to get a free sum of money? I originally wanted to use that money as your bride price!"

"Damn!" Thirteen Sister cursed, "Did I agree to marry you?"

Besides, using a dead man's money as a bride price—don't you find that inauspicious?

"Hahaha......"

Chen Mo and the others laughed uproariously beside them.

Han Bin's face turned embarrassed from Thirteen Sister's words.

After the laughter, Chen Mo looked at Gao Jin and said, "Gao Jin, how's Shen Shui Bu? How long until it's completely cleared?"

Gao Jin thought briefly, "It's almost done. The small Triad Society in Shen Shui Bu has been cleaned up. Only two territories remain, those of Lian Sheng and Wang Bao."

Once we handle the few streets these two families control, Shen Shui Bu will be completely cleared.

Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "I'll have Da Tou and Fei Ji bring people to help you, and drive them out as soon as possible."

"Is now not the right time?" Thirteen Sister objected, "Wang Bao and Lian Sheng aren't easy to deal with. Moreover, Jiang Tiansheng just died, and Great Prosperity hasn't appointed a new Dragon Head yet.

Getting on their bad side now would be too risky, wouldn't it?"

"No problem!" Chen Mo said confidently, "It's just a Dragon Head that died; our strength isn't diminished, so if we need to fight, we'll fight."

The more this moment arrives, the more we must be strong, lest they think we're easy to bully.

"I think Mo is right," Han Bin agreed, "Gao Jin, if you're short of men just let me know, and I'll send people to help!"

Gao Jin smiled and replied, "Don't worry, bosses; if it truly becomes necessary, I won't be polite about it."

The next day, Chen Mo and the others went to Jiang Tiansheng's memorial hall to pay respects.

Originally, for a Triad Society Dragon Head like Jiang Tiansheng, after a seven‑day mourning period, a grand burial would be the proper way.

However, who made his death so dramatic!

Although the public obituary stated he died of a sudden illness.

But there's no wall that doesn't leak.

The rumor that Jiang Tiansheng died of a 'horse‑wind' still inevitably spread.

This made some senior members of Great Prosperity feel a bit ashamed.

Whose family has a Dragon Head die so miserably! So loss of face!

The original seven‑day mourning was reduced to a simple three days.

Yesterday was the first day of setting up the memorial and issuing the obituary; today is the second day of mourning; tomorrow the farewell ceremony will be held and the burial will take place.

"Guest arrived—"

"Please step forward and pay respects—"

"One bow—"

"Second bow—"

"Third bow—"

"Family replies—"

The ceremony today was still hosted by Chui Shui Ji.

He's long familiar with this work.

After all, in the past year, under his hand, Great Prosperity has already seen four or five big bosses go, and this Dragon Head is the second.

However, the family member isn't the familiar Fang Ting, but Jiang Tianyang, who just rushed back from Siam.

After Chen Mo offered incense, Chui Shui Ji introduced him: "Mo Ge, this is Mr. Jiang's younger brother, Mr. Jiang Tianyang."

Jiang Tianyang is a bit plumper than Jiang Tiansheng and looks considerably younger.

Even in today's setting, his face shows little sorrow over his elder brother's death, instead bearing a warm smile.

Although somewhat untimely, it looks sincere.

At least it's more sincere than Jiang Tiansheng's smile.

Chen Mo didn't expect his first meeting with Jiang Tianyang to be in such a setting.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang!" Chen Mo smiled and shook Jiang Tianyang's hand.

"Hello, I've heard you mentioned by Chen Yao and the Prince; you're the rising star of Great Prosperity, the most capable big boss." Jiang Tianyang's voice was deep and carried a convincing force.

"Mr. Jiang, you're flattering me; everyone's praising me!" Chen Mo said modestly.

"I heard you like doing business. As it happens, I'm also a businessman; perhaps we'll have a chance to cooperate in the future!"

"Of course that's great! I've also heard Mr. Jiang's business in Siam is huge; cooperating with you is my honor!"

The saying goes, don't strike a smiling person.

Although Chen Mo still doesn't know what Jiang Tianyang truly thinks, there's no need to offend him right away.

After a brief chat, Chen Mo led his men out of the hall.

He looked around, saw Han Bin and Thirteen Sister, and walked toward them.

After taking two steps, Chen Mo suddenly remembered something and whispered two orders to Shen Guodong behind him.

Shen Guodong nodded and left alone.

Chen Mo then continued walking to Han Bin and Thirteen Sister's side and sat down.

"Ah Mo, you've come over? Have you seen that Mr. Jiang Tianyang inside? What do you think of him?"

"Yeah, I've seen him." Chen Mo lit a cigarette for himself and asked back, "What do you guys think?"

"I feel this person is not bad; his manner and cultivation are quite good, and he has wide connections in Siam."

"He also said a few days ago he wants to talk business with me!"

Thirteen Sister also said: "I also think this person is not bad; at least he's stronger than Jiang Tiansheng."

"He just suggested that I bring some Siamese ladyboys into Bo Lan Street; he has the connections."

"What do you guys think? Is there any profit in it?"

Chen Mo frowned, shrinking his neck back in disdain: "You want to bring ladyboys into Bo Lan Street?"

"I suggest you open a separate shop; maybe someone would actually like that."

"Otherwise, if you mix those ladyboys with those girls, you might ruin your own sign."

Han Bin also agreed: "Exactly, everyone goes to Bo Lan Street to have fun; if you accidentally encounter a ladyboy, you'd be scared to death!"

"Damn!" Thirteen Sister rolled her eyes at the two of them, "You think I'm stupid!"

"Once I get the ladyboys, I'll let you guys experience them first!"

"Forget it, forget it," Chen Mo waved his hand to refuse, "Those ladyboys, being half‑male half‑female, suit you well, sis; you'd better keep them for yourself."

"No way!" Han Bin got angry this time, "Just bring your girls properly; don't go off‑track!"

"If Thirteen Sister, who's neither male nor female, really ends up matched with those half‑male half‑female ladyboys, then wouldn't Han Bin become a clown?"
