Chapter 51

The attitude was completely different from the coldness when Ding Qing first entered.

"I will."

Ding Qing also wore a smile as he shook hands with Austen.

But in his heart, Ding Qing did not feel even a shred of mirth.

Ding Qing had no fondness whatsoever for this group of foreigners who were wreaking havoc on the island.

"Don't forget to attend the knighthood banquet in seven days."

Austen said.

Ding Qing nodded, then took his leave.

This trip had gone very smoothly; Ding Qing had achieved his goal without much effort.

On one hand, Ding Qing had been lavish with his spending, using a massive sum of ten million to stun Austen.

On the other hand, Ding Qing's current fame, along with the Galaxy Communications Company, had also played a significant role.

No matter how casual the New Territories Justice of the Peace position might be, it had to be held by someone with social influence; it was absolutely impossible for an ordinary commoner to hold it.

……

Nathan Road.

Yaoyang Bar.

A man sat at the bar, holding a goblet in his hand, swirling the crimson wine against the light.

This person was one of the Five Tigers of Eastern Star, the Racing Thunder Tiger, Lei Yaoyang.

"Boss, the person is here."

At this moment, a lackey ran over and said in a low voice.

Lei Yaoyang turned around and saw a young man with a cold expression standing at the bar entrance.

"Chen Yongren? Truly a talent, come, come, come, sit over here."

Lei Yaoyang laughed heartily, walked over, pulled Chen Yongren, and sat him down at the bar.

"Who are you? What do you want with me?"

Chen Yongren pulled a long face, sizing up Lei Yaoyang.

Previously, Chen Yongren had been taking a walk outside when he was stopped by Lei Yaoyang's lackeys, who said someone wanted to see him, and then dragged him into a car without further ado and brought him here.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Lei Yaoyang; you can call me Mr. Lei.

You've heard of the Five Tigers of Eastern Star, right? I am the Racing Thunder Tiger."

Lei Yaoyang said.

"You're from Eastern Star, what do you want with me?"

Chen Yongren had absolutely no interest in Lei Yaoyang.

Ever since Huang Zhicheng died at the Sai Kung pier due to incorrect intelligence, Chen Yongren's spirit had been sinking day by day.

Chen Yongren guessed that Ding Qing suspected his identity, and staying at the Ding house wouldn't yield any criminal evidence, but he was unwilling to fail just like that.

In the end, he had become someone who just muddled along, wasting time.

"Ding Qing gave me an ultimatum to withdraw my bar from Nathan Road within two days.

I know this is your Ding family's sphere of influence.

But I'm not here to stake a claim, just running a bar to do some business; there's no need to drive me to extinction, right?"

Lei Yaoyang rambled on at length, took a sip of red wine, and continued: "I invited you here this time because I want you to help me mediate.

Put in a good word with Ding Qing to let me keep this bar.

You are brothers; he will definitely listen to what you say."

Hearing these words, Chen Yongren suddenly felt a jolt.

Lei Yaoyang's identity, the Eastern Star behind him, and the conflict now arising with Ding Qing because of the bar.

Connecting these together, Chen Yongren realized in an instant that this was an opportunity.

If handled correctly, it could completely force Eastern Star and the Ding family into war.

At that time, it would be much easier to collect criminal evidence on the Ding family.

Thinking of this, Chen Yongren changed from his previous indifference and squeezed a smile onto his face.

"What's in it for me if I help you?"

Chen Yongren deliberately put on the appearance of a gangster looking for a payout.

"Benefits, there will definitely be no shortage of them for you."

Lei Yaoyang hooked his arm around Chen Yongren's shoulder, becoming much more intimate. "Come, let's have a few drinks first, we'll talk about the benefits later."

Saying this, Lei Yaoyang poured Chen Yongren a glass of whiskey.

"Cheers."

Lei Yaoyang raised his glass.

"Cheers."

Chen Yongren originally didn't want to drink, but to achieve his goal, he had to clink glasses with Lei Yaoyang.

He drank the whiskey in one gulp.

But a few seconds later.

Chen Yongren felt something was wrong; a strong sense of dizziness made it impossible for him to even sit still.

"What did you put in the wine..."

Chen Yongren glared at Lei Yaoyang, but before he could get an answer, he could no longer hold on, his body swayed, and he collapsed onto the bar.

"Fool, did you really think I was asking you for help?"

Lei Yaoyang kicked Chen Yongren, confirmed he was completely unconscious, and casually poured the red wine from the goblet onto Chen Yongren's head.

"Next, we wait for the other protagonist to enter."

Lei Yaoyang muttered to himself, while simultaneously telling the bartender to turn on the music and play Mozart's Requiem.

One hour later.

The bar door was pushed open, and a lean man walked in.

This person was named Dinosaur, the Tuen Mun hall master of Hung Hing.

"What's going on, playing this kind of music in a bar, no wonder there isn't a single customer."

"Hey, Lei Yaoyang, tell me what you want quickly, my girl is waiting for me to get to work."

Dinosaur looked around, shook his head in disdain, and then walked toward Lei Yaoyang.

"Do you recognize this person?"

Lei Yaoyang pointed at the unconscious Chen Yongren and said.

"Who is it? The pretty boy is actually quite handsome."

Dinosaur said.

"He is Ding Qing's younger brother."

Lei Yaoyang's mouth curled into a playful smile, and he said: "I know your Hung Hing's Crown Prince fell into Ding Qing's hands not long ago.

I heard Hung Hing was scared stiff by Ding Qing? You don't even dare to get your territory back?

It doesn't matter, as long as we control Ding Qing's brother, we can threaten him however we want; the Ding family values family affection the most."

"Pfft, I thought you had some big news to tell me, just this?"

Dinosaur finished listening to Lei Yaoyang's words and snorted.

"Do you take me for a fool? Even the Crown Prince fell; I'd have to be out of my mind to go against Ding Qing."

After Dinosaur finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the bar.

In Dinosaur's view, Hung Hing's face had nothing to do with him; that was the headache of the dragon head, Jiang Tiansheng.

As long as he guarded his own little patch in Tuen Mun, he could live happily.

However, before Dinosaur could reach the door.

Bang!

A crystal ashtray smashed solidly onto Dinosaur's head.

"Damn it, you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"

Lei Yaoyang cursed while smashing him fiercely with the ashtray.

He smashed him more than a dozen times, until Dinosaur's head was flattened, before he stopped.
