Chapter 177

Thirteen Sister, having some understanding of the discord between Jiang Tiansheng and his brother, comforted him.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tiansheng nodded and said nothing more.

Creak!

At this moment, three cars pulled up to the side of the road. The doors opened, and over a dozen dark-skinned Siamese men stepped out.

"Which one of you is Jiang Tiansheng?"

The leading Siamese man was named Ya Ge, a trusted aide to Jiang Tianyang.

"I am."

Jiang Tiansheng said.

"Mr. Jiang asked me to pick you up. Get in the car."

Ya Ge sized Jiang Tiansheng up for a few moments before beckoning.

"Let's go."

Jiang Tiansheng and Thirteen Sister followed Ya Ge into the car, and the group immediately left the airport.

They drove for over an hour, only reaching their destination after leaving the city.

This was a manor covering a vast area.

The manor was surrounded by walls and patrolled by a large number of Siamese men.

The main entrance was even more heavily guarded, with over a dozen armed Siamese guards stationed there.

Ya Ge and his group drove through without obstruction, entering the interior of the manor.

They finally stopped in front of a building with Siamese architectural features.

"Mr. Jiang is waiting for you. Follow me."

Ya Ge said to Jiang Tiansheng.

Jiang Tiansheng and Thirteen Sister exchanged a glance, stepped out of the car, and followed Ya Ge into the building.

After passing through the building, the group arrived at a courtyard.

In the courtyard stood an exquisite pavilion, inside which sat a stout, portly man—none other than Jiang Tianyang.

Beside Jiang Tianyang were several scantily clad Siamese girls, some gently fanning him with feather fans, others massaging him, and some kneeling to the side, holding various fruits.

At a glance, Jiang Tiansheng felt that Jiang Tianyang was practically a local emperor.

"Mr. Jiang, I have brought them here."

Ya Ge reported to Jiang Tianyang.

"You may go."

Jiang Tianyang waved his hand, then fixed his gaze on Jiang Tiansheng, smiling silently as if waiting for Jiang Tiansheng to speak first.

The scene fell into silence.

A moment later, Jiang Tiansheng, being the one in need of help, had to take the initiative and walk up to Jiang Tianyang, saying: "Tianyang, long time no see."

"Hahaha, it's been at least twenty years. Sit."

Jiang Tianyang laughed heartily and pointed to the seat in front of him.

Jiang Tiansheng nodded, and he and Thirteen Sister sat down.

"You aren't in Hong Kong acting as the Dragon Head of Hongxing; how do you have the time to come all the way here to see me?"

Jiang Tianyang asked.

"I've encountered some things recently that are very tricky, so I came here to ask for your help."

Jiang Tiansheng said directly, without beating around the bush.

"Asking me for help? Is there something you can't handle?"

Jiang Tianyang sneered.

Jiang Tiansheng remained composed, as if he hadn't heard the mockery, and continued: "The Ni family in Tsim Sha Tsui has changed heads; Ni Kun's eldest son, Ni Yongyao, now controls the Ni family.

Ni Yongyao is highly ambitious and possesses the capability to match it. Under his leadership, the Ni family has risen rapidly and clashed with Hongxing, with two of our hall masters already dead at his hands.

If this continues, it won't be long before Hongxing is swallowed up by the Ni family."

Hearing this, Jiang Tianyang put away his smile and said solemnly: "Continue."

"Tianyang, I know the past made you uncomfortable, but Hongxing is, after all, the Jiang family's Hongxing; it cannot be destroyed in the hands of outsiders."

Jiang Tiansheng said.

"There's no need to mention the past. You can see how I live now—it's no different from being an emperor. I have no interest in Hongxing."

Jiang Tianyang snorted and said: "However, the society was left behind by our father; it truly cannot be destroyed by outsiders."

"So you agree to help?"

Jiang Tiansheng looked pleased.

"It's rare for you, the big brother, to come begging me. I will help you once."

Jiang Tianyang said.

"Tell me, how do you need me to help you?"

Jiang Tianyang asked.

Jiang Tiansheng took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and said: "The simplest and most direct way is for you to take out Ni Yongyao. As long as he dies, the Ni family will collapse immediately."

"I've been away from Hong Kong for so many years; I don't even know what kind of person Ni Yongyao is or how large his influence is. How am I supposed to help you take him out? Or are you saying a few hitmen could finish him off?"

Jiang Tianyang said.

"It's not that simple. If a few hitmen could handle Ni Yongyao, I would have already done it."

Jiang Tiansheng gave a bitter smile and said: "I don't know how Ni Yongyao managed it, but since he took over the Ni family, they have successively opened a communications company, casinos, and a security company.

Especially the security company; it is now the industry leader, with at least over a thousand employees."

"Running a security company? Then there is indeed no need to send hitmen."

Jiang Tianyang took a puff of his cigar and said.

"Tianyang, I need you to lend me a group of men, the elite kind. I plan to gather all my strength to strike the Ni family down directly, without giving Ni Yongyao time to react."

Jiang Tiansheng said.

This was a decision Jiang Tiansheng had long since made. Seeing Ni Yongyao's influence growing, sending hall masters was no longer effective; only by staking all of Hongxing's strength would there be a chance to deal with the Ni family.

"So you intend to go all in and fight the Ni family to the death?"

Jiang Tianyang looked at Jiang Tiansheng with interest.

"It's the only way. Ni Yongyao has casinos and a security company; who knows how much cash flows into his pockets every day. If we don't fight now, in a little while, we won't even have the chance to risk our lives."

Jiang Tiansheng said helplessly, having witnessed the entire process of the Ni family's rise.

From initially not taking the Ni family seriously, thinking that Prince alone could handle them, to later seeing Prince lose an arm and realizing Ni Yongyao's ruthlessness.

But even then, Jiang Tiansheng didn't see the Ni family as a major threat; he gave Prince eight hundred men, waiting for news of the Ni family's destruction.

Who would have thought that Prince and the eight hundred men would vanish into thin air, never to be heard from again.

Only then did Jiang Tiansheng begin to take the Ni family seriously, subsequently inciting Hon Ban to enter the fray, kidnap Chen Yongren, and fight Ni Yongyao to the death.

But unexpectedly, Hon Ban also fell at the hands of Ni Yongyao.

And immediately following that, the Ni family's development took off like a rocket; casinos and the security company appeared one after another, all becoming famous throughout Hong Kong in a short time.

Only then did Jiang Tiansheng realize, in hindsight, that the Ni family had become a behemoth he had to face.

Moreover, due to the system of Hongxing's twelve hall masters, territory and manpower were scattered among them, making it impossible for Jiang Tiansheng to gather all his strength to confront the Ni family.

This was why he had no choice but to run to Siam to seek help from his younger brother, Jiang Tianyang.

"Although I don't know this Ni Yongyao, judging by what you've said, he is quite a character."

Jiang Tianyang smoked his cigar, thought for a moment, and said: "How about this: I'll give you one thousand men. They are all veterans retired from the Siamese army; their quality is not something those Hong Kong street thugs can compare to.

Dealing with a mere Tsim Sha Tsui Ni family, I think that will be more than enough."

"One thousand veterans?"

Jiang Tiansheng nodded and said: "The number is still a bit low, but I can still draw another thousand elites from the society. Gathering two thousand men to attack the Ni family should be no problem."

"Is there a need to be so cautious? My one thousand men will be enough."

Jiang Tianyang said with a smile.

"You don't understand the Ni family, and you understand Ni Yongyao even less."

Jiang Tiansheng didn't explain further, just sighed.

"Fine, no matter how you plan to do it, I can only lend you one thousand men. I have enemies in Siam as well and must keep enough men to defend myself."

Jiang Tianyang said.
