Chapter 145

"Is Macau issuing new casino licenses again?"

Lei Gong asked.

The Sanlian Gang was developing well in Wandao, but their businesses were all things that couldn't be brought into the light; thus, Lei Gong had always coveted the casino business and wanted to get a foot in the door.

However, Macau had long since completed the division of interests, and as an outsider, how could the Sanlian Gang easily get involved?

Only when a new casino license appeared would there be an opportunity.

"It has nothing to do with Macau. A new casino recently opened in Hong Kong, and I heard they obtained a legal license. I've checked into it; behind the casino is the Ni family of Tsim Sha Tsui. How about it, are you interested?"

Gao Laosi said.

Hearing this, Lei Gong quickly reacted and said, "Brother Four, I see you want me to act as your gun to deal with the Ni family."

"Hahaha, with the strength of your Sanlian Gang, taking down the Ni family should be easy. In any case, I've told you the situation; what you do is your business."

After Gao Laosi finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Three days later.

Hong Kong International Airport.

A passenger plane slowly came to a stop, the cabin door opened, and Lei Gong, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walked out.

In the end, Lei Gong still couldn't let go of his greed and came to Hong Kong in person, intending to have a talk with Ni Yongyao.

Beside Lei Gong followed a woman with a seductive figure.

The woman's name was Ding Yao, and she was Lei Gong's mistress.

Behind the two was Lei Gong's bodyguard, Gao Jie.

Outside the airport.

A large group of subordinates in black suits stood in a row; seeing Lei Gong appear, they bowed deeply in unison.

These people had all arrived in Hong Kong by boat.

Immediately, Lei Gong got into a car and headed straight for the InterContinental Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Next to the InterContinental Hotel was the Galaxy Casino.

That afternoon.

Lei Gong brought a large group of subordinates into the casino.

The appearance of so many people immediately aroused the vigilance of the hotel manager, Charon.

"Sir, you've brought so many people, what do you want to do?"

Charon, bringing only two bodyguards, blocked Lei Gong and questioned him.

"Is Ni Yongyao here? I have a business deal to discuss with him."

Lei Gong glanced at Charon and said, "Tell him I am Lei Gong of the Sanlian Gang."

Hearing the words "Lei Gong of the Sanlian Gang," Charon immediately realized that this person before him was not just here to cause trouble.

"Mr. Lei, I will convey your words to Mr. Ni. For now, please move to the reception room."

Charon said.

Lei Gong didn't say anything and led his people into the reception room.

Charon immediately reported the situation to Ni Yongyao.

"Mr. Ni, Lei Gong of the Sanlian Gang has brought a group of men to the casino. He says he has business to discuss and wants to see you."

Charon said over the phone.

"Lei Gong of the Sanlian Gang?"

Ni Yongyao instantly understood Lei Gong's purpose; he was definitely targeting the casino.

"I understand. I'll be there."

Ni Yongyao said, showing no particular reaction to Lei Gong's visit.

Although the Sanlian Gang was not weak, they were, after all, a Wandao gang and couldn't stir up any waves in Hong Kong.

Half an hour later.

The reception room door was pushed open, and several people walked in.

Walking at the very front was naturally Ni Yongyao, followed by Storm Shadow and Sophia.

Other than them, Ni Yongyao brought no other subordinates.

This formed a sharp contrast with the large group of Sanlian Gang subordinates in the reception room.

"Mr. Ni, hearing of you is not as good as meeting you. Seeing you today, I finally understand why the Ni family is thriving."

Lei Gong rose from the sofa and smiled as he reached out to shake Ni Yongyao's hand.

"Lei Gong."

Ni Yongyao shook hands with Lei Gong and said, "I assume you have a reason for coming here so suddenly. Let's get straight to the point."

Lei Gong laughed and said, "Mr. Ni is truly straightforward. Fine, then I'll be direct: I have my eye on this casino and would like to cooperate with you, Mr. Ni."

"A few days ago, Gao Laosi from Macau called me saying he wanted to cooperate, and now you've come to talk about cooperation too. Could it be that he sent you?"

Ni Yongyao said calmly.

"Mr. Ni guessed correctly. I did indeed hear about the Galaxy Casino from Gao Laosi. It just so happens that I've always been interested in the casino business, which is why I came to Hong Kong in person."

Lei Gong said, snapping his fingers.

Beside him, Gao Jie immediately placed a briefcase on the coffee table and opened it with a click.

Inside, it was filled with greenbacks—US dollars.

"Here are two million US dollars. I'll use them to buy a stake. I only want a five percent share. What do you think, Mr. Ni?"

Lei Gong said with a chuckle.

"Two million US dollars for a five percent share?"

Ni Yongyao looked at Lei Gong with a half-smile, as if looking at a fool.

Two million US dollars converted to Hong Kong dollars was only about twenty million; wanting to buy into a casino with that little money was simply treating Ni Yongyao like a beggar.

"What, you think it's too little?"

Lei Gong said.

"Casino shares are not for sale."

Ni Yongyao said expressionlessly, waving his hand.

Hearing this, Lei Gong snorted coldly and said, "I never do anything without preparation. Since I've come to you today, whether you're willing to cooperate or not, I'm determined to have that five percent share!"

After he finished speaking, all the Sanlian Gang subordinates simultaneously pulled handguns from their coats and aimed them at Ni Yongyao.

"Threatening me?"

Ni Yongyao didn't take these gunmen seriously at all; Storm Shadow and Sophia alone could send these people to hell.

"That's right, I am threatening you. You can ask around; whatever I, Lei Gong, want to do, I will definitely achieve."

Lei Gong said confidently.

"Since you're so confident, why don't we make a bet?"

A playful smile appeared on the corner of Ni Yongyao's mouth as he spoke.

"Bet on what?" Lei Gong asked.

"Let's bet on whether you can leave Tsim Sha Tsui alive. As long as you take one step out of Tsim Sha Tsui, I will hand over this casino to you immediately."

Ni Yongyao said slowly.

"Do you believe I'll shoot you dead right now!"

Hearing these words from Ni Yongyao, Lei Gong felt a chill for no reason.

"You don't have the guts."

Ni Yongyao said calmly.

After speaking, he turned and walked out of the reception room, completely ignoring all the Sanlian Gang subordinates.

As for Lei Gong, he struggled continuously, but in the end, he still didn't order his subordinates to open fire.

After all, this was Ni Yongyao's casino, and it was in a busy district; even if Lei Gong were given a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to start a gunfight here.

Otherwise, even if he killed Ni Yongyao, Lei Gong wouldn't be able to escape the pursuit of the Hong Kong police.

"What do we do now?"

Ding Yao asked.

Lei Gong took a deep breath and said, "Notify all the hall masters immediately. Tell them to bring men and rush over here. I don't believe Ni Yongyao can do anything to me!"
