Chapter 237

Wo Liansheng headquarters.

"The failure of the previous attack on Tsim Sha Tsui was my misjudgment; I won't deny that."

Facing Da Pu Hei's sarcasm, Lin Huaile said: "In this meeting, I want to discuss with everyone the matter of Ni Yongyao attacking Yau Ma Tei."

"Yau Ma Tei? That's Wang Bao's territory. What does his life or death have to do with us?"

Uncle Chuan Bao said.

"I think everyone has heard the story of 'when the lips are gone, the teeth are cold.' Now the Ni family's influence is growing larger and larger, having already controlled Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Xing, Zhongxinyi, and other territories. If we let the Ni family get Yau Ma Tei, the next target will likely be us."

Lin Huaile said in a deep voice: "We cannot let the Ni family continue to develop; we must limit the Ni family's momentum of expansion."

"Ah Le, just say it straight: what exactly do you want to do?"

Big D spoke up.

"What I want to do is very simple: aid Wang Bao and help him block Ni Yongyao's offensive."

Lin Huaile said.

"Aid Wang Bao? We aren't related; why should we help him?"

Fire Ox said coldly.

"Exactly. A few years ago, Wang Bao even sent people to stomp on one of my venues. Now that he's in trouble, he wants us to help?"

Cold Guy snorted, displeased.

Others also showed a lack of interest to varying degrees.

Lin Huaile took all of this in, sighing inwardly. Before coming, he had guessed that convincing these people to take action wouldn't be easy.

If one had to blame someone, it was Wang Bao's overly domineering behavior in the past, which had caused friction with quite a few hall masters of Wo Liansheng. Although the matters weren't big, they were enough to make people refuse to help.

"Helping Wang Bao is not just helping him; it's also helping the triad. If Wang Bao falls, the next one to face the Ni family directly will be us."

Lin Huaile took a deep breath and looked at everyone.

"Ah Le, I think you've been scared out of your wits by Ni Yongyao! The triad has tens of thousands of people. As long as we don't provoke Ni Yongyao, is he going to go crazy and attack us?"

Chui Ji said dismissively.

"Do you think that if you don't provoke Ni Yongyao, he won't attack? Have you forgotten that Ni Yongyao hasn't stopped expanding since he took charge of the family!

Wang Bao didn't provoke Ni Yongyao either, yet he was still attacked, wasn't he?"

Lin Huaile said.

"Ah Le, what you say makes sense."

At this time, Uncle Deng spoke up: "But there is one question you need to answer for me."

"Uncle Deng, go ahead."

Lin Huaile looked at Uncle Deng, his attitude respectful.

Even though Lin Huaile was already the triad leader, facing Uncle Deng, the uncle with the most prestige, he had to maintain superficial respect.

"I'll just ask you one thing: if we aid Wang Bao, do you have absolute certainty that we can block Ni Yongyao?"

Uncle Deng stared at Lin Huaile and asked.

Facing this question, Lin Huaile was silent for a few seconds before shaking his head and saying: "No."

The current Ni family was no longer the Ni family of the Ni Kun era. No matter how optimistic Lin Huaile was, he didn't dare to guarantee he could handle Ni Yongyao's offensive.

"Then there's no need to talk; the triad cannot take risks."

Uncle Deng said.

Although Uncle Deng had been humiliated by Ni Yongyao when he acted as a witness for Han Bin and Ni Yongyao, Uncle Deng had walked the rivers and lakes for so many years that his perspective on things had long since shifted from a personal one to one based on the triad's interests.

"Uncle Deng, if we continue to let the Ni family expand, later on..."

Lin Huaile said hurriedly.

But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Uncle Deng.

"Not taking action at least won't lead to mistakes. The triad has so many people and a large family business; once a wrong decision is made, this responsibility is not one you can bear."

Uncle Deng said.

"Ah Le, I think Uncle Deng is very right; there's no need to take risks for Wang Bao."

Big D said.

"Perhaps after Ni Yongyao swallows Yau Ma Tei, his appetite will be satisfied."

Da Pu Hei said.

"You all..."

Lin Huaile looked at Big D and the others, feeling a heavy sense of powerlessness welling up in his heart.

"Ah Le, you've heard everyone's opinion; no one wants to go to war with the Ni family. Don't bring this matter up again in the future."

Uncle Deng finished speaking and stood up to leave his seat.

Seeing this, the other uncles also left one after another.

Then, one hall master after another stood up.

"Ah Le, didn't expect it, did you? Now no one in the triad supports you.

Oh right, don't forget what you promised me; remember to support me in the next election."

Big D walked up to Ah Le and patted him on the shoulder.

Previously, in order to win over Big D to act against Tsim Sha Tsui together, Ah Le had promised Big D that he would fully support him to become the leader in the next election.

"We'll talk about it when the election comes."

Lin Huaile's expression was ugly; he shook off Big D's hand and walked straight out of the headquarters.

On the way back.

"A bunch of short-sighted old things!"

Lin Huaile cursed through gritted teeth.

In his view, Ni Yongyao's threat was already imminent, and if the Ni family's momentum of expansion wasn't curbed, it would soon be Wo Liansheng's turn.

But the attitude of the others in Wo Liansheng made Lin Huaile completely unable to understand.

What followed was a deep sense of powerlessness.

Clearly, he, Lin Huaile, was the triad leader, yet he could do nothing, only watching helplessly as the Ni family continued to expand.

This feeling was almost as painful as killing him.

Half an hour later.

Lin Huaile returned to the tea restaurant and met Wang Bao, who was waiting for news, in the private room.

"Mr. Lin, how did it go?"

Wang Bao asked hurriedly when he saw Lin Huaile enter.

"I didn't expect that everyone else in the triad had been scared out of their wits by Ni Yongyao; no one dared to stand up.

They don't want to go to war with Ni Yongyao."

Lin Huaile said, shaking his head.

Upon hearing this, the expression on Wang Bao's face slowly solidified.

"No matter what, I owe you a favor."

Wang Bao said.

After saying this, he had no heart to say anything else to Lin Huaile, bid him farewell, and left the private room.

Wang Bao didn't expect that first Camel from Dong Xing gave him a cold shoulder, and then Wo Liansheng also chickened out, which left Wang Bao feeling somewhat bewildered for a moment. In the vast Hong Kong, who else could he turn to for aid?

And relying solely on the manpower of the Wang Bao Group, it was impossible to block the Ni family's offensive.

The change of ownership in Yau Ma Tei was only a matter of time.

"Beep, beep, beep!"

At this moment, Wang Bao's phone rang.

"Boss, hasn't the support arrived yet? Luo Tianhong just led men to attack, and many more venues have been taken out. We can't hold on much longer."

His confidant, Ah Jie, said.

"Hold on for a while longer; let me think of a way."

Wang Bao hung up the phone after saying this.

Ah Jie's news made Wang Bao's heart sink. He hadn't expected Luo Tianhong's speed of attack to be so fast; it looked like it wouldn't be long before all his territories were taken down. ===== CHAPTER 239 =====
