Chapter 123: 119 Trampling Hong Le, Long Yi

As soon as Brother Nineteen appeared, his fierce and menacing aura frightened quite a few children.

"Brother Nineteen!"

David cupped his hands and, bringing along a few lackeys, walked up to greet him.

Brother Nineteen cursed, "Brother what brother? Are we that close? Damn it, setting up a stall on my turf and you don't come over to pay protection money?"

David smiled, "Brother Nineteen, you've misunderstood. We aren't doing business; we're doing charity... our boss..."

"Not doing business?"

Brother Nineteen didn't wait for David to finish; he interrupted directly and kicked a table.

Bang~~~

The table flipped over, and the items on it scattered across the floor.

"I don't care if you're doing business or not. In one word: on my turf, you must pay protection money! Do you understand!"

David felt helpless. Can't people just talk properly?

His attitude also began to harden:

"Brother Nineteen, don't say I didn't warn you. My boss's boss is Brother Zu from Causeway Bay!"

"Brother Zu ordered us to do this!"

"If you want to challenge this, have the guts to call Brother Zu directly. If you don't dare, call your boss, Brother Pan, and have him call our Brother Zu!"

What?

It’s Guan Zu from Causeway Bay?

Brother Nineteen furrowed his brows instantly.

The arrogance and ferocity he had just displayed began to recede a little.

But having already spoken such harsh words, backing down now would be very embarrassing.

Thus, Brother Nineteen stood there, stuck in an awkward position.

Finally, he found an excuse and cursed, "But this is our Long Yi turf. You Hong Hing people running over here like this, doesn't that count as crossing the line?!"

David didn't want to cause a conflict either, so he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Nineteen, we don't want to cross the line. We aren't collecting protection money, and we aren't doing business. We are just doing charity."

Brother Nineteen sneered, "That won't do either!"

David spread his hands, "Won't do? Then what do you want to do, Brother Nineteen? You should know that we Hong Hing aren't afraid of your Long Yi Society."

When he said this, David didn't know why, but a sense of satisfaction from using power to suppress others surged within him.

In the past, when he was in Hong Tai, he was a lackey's lackey under Wei Jixiang. And Wei Jixiang? He was a weak boss who was easily bullied, which meant no opponents gave him any face, and he, as a lackey, lived a very stifled life.

But now?

Just by mentioning Brother Zu, the other side was rendered speechless.

David couldn't help but think internally: *Sin, oh sin. I'm with the police force; why do I have such dangerous thoughts?*

But!

Seeing the arrogant Brother Nineteen left speechless, that feeling was truly satisfying!

Brother Nineteen was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Haha~~ So it was a misunderstanding. Sorry, sorry... Since it's charity, let's leave it at that... Sorry to bother you!"

He cupped his hands,

Then turned around and left with his lackeys.

However, as he turned away, Brother Nineteen's expression darkened instantly.

He was so arrogant, yet he hadn't expected to hit a wall here.

Without a word, he picked up his phone and called his boss, Brother Pan.

"Boss, Guan Zu from Causeway Bay is crossing the line. He let his lackeys step onto our Lockhart Road."

He recounted what had happened.

"Although they say they are doing charity, who knows what kind of conspiracy these guys have!"

Old Pan was at a car dealership at the time, preparing to buy a car.

He was getting old and had money; one of his hobbies was buying cars.

When he finished listening to Nineteen's report, he couldn't help but furrow his brows.

What exactly does this Guan Zu want to do?

Charity?

Is he really doing charity? Or is he deliberately crossing the line?

After Brother Nineteen reported to Old Pan, just after hanging up, another call came in.

"Brother Nineteen, I've intercepted a Hong Hing lackey here. He's sweeping our Lockhart Road buildings and handing out flyers."

Brother Nineteen: "Hmm??"

His brows furrowed tightly again!

A fire rose within him.

Damn it, what exactly does this Hong Hing want to do?

"Bring him over immediately. I want to see what these guys are really up to!"

"Yes, Boss!"

Ten minutes later, his two yellow-haired lackeys dragged a Hong Hing lackey, whose hands were tied behind his back, and delivered him to Brother Nineteen.

"Kneel!"

The yellow-haired lackey shouted.

However, the Hong Hing lackey refused to kneel, his face full of indignation, "Don't slander people. We Hong Hing haven't crossed the line!"

"Damn it! Still not admitting it!"

"Enough!"

"Stop!"

The yellow-haired lackey was about to use rough methods, but was interrupted by Brother Nineteen.

Before Brother Pan had officially spoken, Brother Nineteen wasn't sure if he would clash with Hong Hing, so he didn't dare to beat this Hong Hing lackey casually.

After all, Guan Zu was truly ruthless! Last time, when Happy and Xiaosa were sent to prison, not even a ripple was made.

Brother Nineteen walked up to the Hong Hing lackey.

"Speak. What does your Hong Hing want to do? Why come to my Long Yi Society's turf?"

"Brother Nineteen, we are just handing out flyers and telling the neighbors we have a book stall, and calling on everyone to donate idle books..." the Hong Hing lackey said truthfully.

Brother Nineteen was surprised: "Just this?"

Hong Hing lackey: "That's right, just this... You can look at the flyer I'm handing out."

"The flyer is here." The lackey handed one to Brother Nineteen.

Although Brother Nineteen had little education, he was at least literate. He looked at the flyer; it really only mentioned the book stall and nothing else.

"Hahaha~~~ Sorry, brother..."

Although Brother Nineteen was fierce, as an old hand who had been in the game for a long time, he was no longer a greenhorn.

Since he hadn't caught any 'evidence of crime' from Hong Hing this time, he couldn't make things difficult for this lackey.

Brother Nineteen took a knife and cut the rope, releasing the Hong Hing lackey.

"A misunderstanding, brother, don't take offense."

The Hong Hing lackey breathed a sigh of relief; he didn't want to be beaten either.

Soon,

The Hong Hing lackey left.

Not long after he left, Brother Nineteen's phone rang again.

"Brother Nineteen!"

"Hong Hing people ran over here and are stopping us from doing our work! Damn it, this is our Long Yi turf. What does Hong Hing want?!"

Upon hearing this, Brother Nineteen's brows furrowed tightly again.

"Tell me in detail, what's going on?"

"The thing is, we were collecting protection money from a student, and they came over to stop us, saying we couldn't collect it, saying it was entrusted by the parents..."

When Brother Nineteen heard this, he was truly angry this time.

Collecting protection money from students was one of his sources of income. What does this Hong Hing mean? They want to meddle in this too?!

"You hold onto the Hong Hing people first!"

"Yes, Boss!"

"Also, don't hit anyone yet."

"Ah?"

"Do as I say."

After Brother Nineteen finished giving instructions, he called Old Pan again: "Boss..."

He complained about Hong Hing!

On the other side,

Xie Fei Road in Wanchai, a street on the east side.

This is Hong Le's turf.

At this moment, inside a certain building, a conflict between Hong Hing and Hong Le was erupting.

Leading the Hong Hing side was Ah Xi, a lackey of Wu Ying.

Leading the Hong Le side was Fei Zai Cong, a lackey of Fei Quan.

Both sides had triggered a conflict because of a Form 5 student.

Fei Zai Cong pointed at Ah Xi's chest: "What does your Hong Hing want? Shi Shi (nickname, Stone Lion) has already agreed to join our Hong Le! You dare to stop us? This doesn't follow the rules of the underworld!"

Ah Xi had been with Wu Ying for a long time and was no longer just a small-time thug. He was, after all, a small leader. Although he was thin and only brought two lackeys, not as many as the other side's eight, his confidence was very strong.

He poked his finger at Fei Zai Cong's fat chest:

"Fatty! Since you know we are from Hong Hing, how dare you be so arrogant?"

"Also, my Hong Hing has always been reasonable!"

"This Shi Shi has now been entrusted by his parents to our Hong Hing for his studies and discipline. He is absolutely not allowed to join a society!"

"We are protecting him so he can focus on his studies!"

"We aren't here to snatch your manpower!"

And at this moment,

That Form 5 student, a short, chubby 15-year-old boy, was being protected by his parents behind them.

The parents looked nervously at the confrontation between the two groups.

Their son had always wanted to join a society and had even paid money. They naturally didn't want that, but they were a bit afraid of the fierce Hong Le members.

Just then, people from Causeway Bay came over to hand out flyers, saying they were doing charity and focusing on teenagers.

The parents had long heard about the things in Causeway Bay, and suddenly, as if they had found a life-saving straw, they quickly paid money and requested Ah Xi and his group to help pull their son out of the sea of fire.

Then this conflict between Hong Hing and Hong Le occurred.

"Damn it, are you stupid? Have you forgotten that this is Hong Le's turf!"

Fei Zai Cong poked Ah Xi's chest and cursed: "Is it your turn to call the shots here? What? Want to cross the line?"

"You're the one who's a damn fool!" Ah Xi shouted back, "We aren't acting in the name of Hong Hing now. We are doing charity! It's a public welfare project that Brother Zu wants to do! The government approved it, do you understand!!" Backed by Brother Zu and with the government as a safety net, his voice was loud!

Fei Zai Cong was amused by the anger: "Think doing charity makes you great? Believe it or not, I'll beat you up!"

Ah Xi: "Come on, come on!"

Fei Zai Cong raised his hand in anger...

But in the end, he put it down.

"You just wait!"

Fei Zai Cong waved his hand: "Stop them, don't let them run."

He directly made a call to his boss, Fei Quan, to ask for his boss's opinion, to avoid any trouble.

The call to Fei Quan went through.

"Hey, Boss!"

"A lackey we were going to recruit is now being blocked by Hong Hing, saying we aren't allowed to recruit him?!"

Fei Quan furrowed his brows instantly upon hearing this.

!.

He had just become a small leader and wasn't even a Red Pole yet. He still wanted to become a Red Pole, and he needed to recruit many, many lackeys.

And what is Hong Hing doing?

Running to Hong Le's turf to stop me from recruiting lackeys?

"Where are you? Did you run to Hong Hing's turf?"

"No, we're still on East Xie Fei Road."

"Tell me in detail what's going on?"

"The thing is like this..." Fei Zai Cong began to tell the whole story.

Fei Quan was instantly furious upon hearing it.

Charity?

Crossing the line is crossing the line. Think using charity as an excuse can brush things over?

Fei Quan had his own set of behavioral logic. He was a newcomer to the underworld, he wanted to climb up, and he had extraordinary ambitions. He was aggressive and sharp; that's the kind of person he was.

Even if Brother Piao scolded him for being wrong, as long as he thought he was right, he would insist he was right and Brother Piao was wrong.

A very self-centered, very crazy person!

Fei Quan was actually very dissatisfied with Hong Le at this time.

Brother Piao, this boss, was timid and fearful, especially after the last Xiaosa incident where Brother Piao retreated from Hong Hing without daring to say a word.

Also, those hall masters and Red Poles were all over 40 years old, and not a single young person was climbing up.

This Hong Le was old!

Fei Quan wanted to climb up and revitalize Hong Le!

Thinking of this, he showed a fierce look and said to Fei Zai Cong: "Beat them for me! But watch your measure, don't cause any deaths!"

Fei Zai Cong, on the other end of the phone, felt a boost in spirit: "Yes, Boss!"

Having received Fei Quan's order, Fei Zai Cong laughed, sneered, and pointed at Ah Xi and the other two.

"Beat them!"

"Beat them hard!"

Several newly joined lackeys, all of whom wanted to make a name for themselves, were naturally very excited after hearing this.

They pounced on Ah Xi and the other two.

"Fei Zai Cong!"

Ah Xi and the other two were shocked.

"Is your Hong Le crazy?!"

"Dare to hit us Hong Hing?"

Fei Zai Cong laughed loudly: "That's right, we're hitting you Hong Hing!"

"Beat them!"

Soon, a chaotic battle began.

That student Shi Shi and his parents were so scared that they retreated one after another.

Two fists are no match for four hands. Ah Xi and the others could fight back a little at first, but later they began to retreat steadily, falling to the ground and suffering constant punches and kicks.

Just at this critical moment,

A figure rushed over.

"Bang~~~"

With one kick, he sent a Hong Le lackey flying, hitting other lackeys, causing a mess.

Gao Gang has arrived.

Gao Qiu had anticipated there would be conflicts, so he had arranged manpower long ago. Gao Gang had been idle and put out to pasture recently, so he had been sent over.

"Who are you?"

Fei Zai Cong looked at the not-so-tall Gao Gang who had suddenly appeared, his face full of anger.

Gao Gang didn't say much: "Guan Zu's subordinate, Gao Gang!"

Fei Zai Cong was furious: "Damn it, kill him!"

He led a group of lackeys to rush at Gao Gang. He didn't believe that with 8 people, even random punches couldn't finish this person off.

"Tch~~"

Gao Gang gave a disdainful laugh, stomped on the ground, and his figure erupted like a cannonball out of a barrel.

A lackey was about to punch him, but Gao Gang used a lightning-fast grapple, locking his wrist firmly, and then using the opponent's force against him, performed a shoulder throw, slamming him heavily onto the ground.

Immediately after, Gao Gang didn't stop, turned around, and kicked out a sharp back-spin kick, carrying a gust of wind that sent another lackey flying, knocking down 2 more lackeys.

Before the dust settled, Gao Gang had already turned to face another lackey who was trying to sneak an attack. His eyes turned cold.

Gao Gang's fist arrived like steel, hitting the face squarely. The powerful force caused the lackey to lose consciousness instantly, and he fell softly to the ground.

At this time, Fei Zai Cong and another lackey rushed over, but unfortunately, the gap between him and Gao Gang was too large.

Gao Gang nimbly dodged Fei Zai Cong's punch, followed by a close-range elbow strike, knee strike, and palm strike. The series of attacks were like a storm, leaving Fei Zai Cong unable to parry at all, causing him to feel intense pain all over, fainting on the spot, and finally falling heavily to the ground.

Soon, the other few lackeys were cleanly and neatly taken care of by Gao Gang.

All of them were down.

Ah Xi and the other two had bruised faces, and seeing Gao Gang so fierce, they excitedly shouted:

"Brother Gang, awesome!!"

Every move just now was full of power; it was simply too cool!

The three of them couldn't help but admire Gao Gang.

Gao Gang, however, wasn't proud. This Hong Le was just a bunch of trash, and there was no sense of achievement at all.

His goal was Brother Jin, Brother Fu, and Brother Jie.

He heard there was a very strong one named Ah Bu who would be coming soon, which put even more pressure on Gao Gang.

"Hey hey hey~~~"

"Ah Cong!"

At this time, Fei Zai Cong's phone rang with Fei Quan's voice.

Gao Gang picked up the phone and said: "He fainted, you come and take him to the hospital."

Very polite.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Gang suggested to Shi Shi and his parents to move to Causeway Bay. His parents heard this and felt it made sense, so they immediately started moving.

One hour later,

Mingxin Hospital,

Fei Quan looked at Fei Zai Cong, who was still unconscious on the hospital bed, his fists clenched tightly, his eyes fierce.

No one expected Hong Hing's people to be so strong!

8 people weren't enough for one person to fight!

But Fei Zai Cong had grown up with him since childhood, and their bond was extraordinary!

This time, although the doctor said there was no major problem, it still made him very angry.

Whether it was to climb up,

Or for his brother,

This time, he had to find Hong Hing to get even!

Fei Quan quickly left the hospital and found Brother Piao in a bar.

He walked over angrily and said:

"Uncle Piao, this time Hong Hing has gone too far. We must fight back!"

Brother Piao furrowed his brows instantly, not liking Fei Quan's tone, and furthermore, he didn't want to go to war with Hong Hing.

He tried to appease Fei Quan: "Don't be impatient. What if there's a misunderstanding? Everything should be discussed sitting down. Only if it can't be discussed should we fight! Not fight directly!"

Fei Quan said impatiently: "Discuss what? They ran to our turf and even beat up our people!"

Uncle De became even more dissatisfied with Fei Quan's disrespectful attitude, but he held back: "Tell me in detail, what happened."

Fei Quan began to add fuel to the fire, saying Hong Hing was on Hong Le's turf, stopping him from recruiting lackeys, and even beat up his people.

Brother Piao knew he couldn't listen to one side of the story.

Brother Piao advised: "How about this, I'll make an appointment with Guan Zu to talk about it first!"

Fei Quan was dissatisfied: "What's there to talk about? Just fight!"

At this, Uncle De, who was next to Brother Piao, slapped the table, stood up, pointed at Fei Quan, and cursed:

"Young man, I've tolerated you for a long time!"

"What is your status? A small-time thug, not even a Red Pole. Brother Piao said he wants to talk; what qualifications do you have to disagree?"

Fei Quan was in a fit of anger and pointed at Uncle De to curse: "You old bastard, I've tolerated you for a long time too. You're so old, yet you're still hogging the position, not giving young people a chance to climb up. You haven't contributed anything to Hong Le!"

Uncle De was so angry his fingers trembled: "You... you... you..."

Brother Piao was also angry and glared at Fei Quan: "Fei Quan, are you saying I'm not doing a good job as the leader?"

Fei Quan stiffened his neck: "Uncle Piao, you're not wrong, but I still think... Hong Le is too old now. Every hall master is over 40, and there isn't a single young person. How can Hong Le fight and grow like this?"

Then he said loudly: "I think we should give young people a chance to climb up!"

The lackeys present, after hearing this, felt their emotions surge, feeling that what he said was so right.

And Uncle De and these hall masters? They had fought for the empire with Brother Piao back in the day, and now they wanted to enjoy themselves. You young people want us to step down?

Damn it!

Instantly, they all looked at Fei Quan with great dissatisfaction.

Brother Piao was also very angry at Fei Quan.

But he knew he couldn't suppress Fei Quan directly, because Fei Quan now represented the hearts of the lackeys below. If he suppressed Fei Quan, would the lackeys still fight for Hong Le in the future?

Brother Piao suddenly laughed and patted Fei Quan on the shoulder: "You want to climb up, right?"

Fei Quan nodded: "Yes!"

Brother Piao said: "Good, I'll give you a chance... Sang Bo from Yuen Long, go kill him for me, and when you come back, I'll promote you!"

Fei Quan furrowed his brows: "But, I want to fight Hong Hing more!"

To avenge his brother!
