Chapter 123: 119 Stepping on Hong Le, Chang Yi Territory

As soon as Brother Nineteen appeared, his fierce and menacing look 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 and swore: "What brother? Are we very close? Damn it, coming to my turf to set up a stall, why didn't you 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, interrupting him directly and kicking a table.

Boom~~~

The table flipped over, and the items on it scattered all over the ground.

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

"This matter was ordered by Brother Zu!"

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

What?

It's Director Guan Zu from Causeway Bay?

Brother Nineteen furrowed his brows instantly.

The arrogance and ferocity from just a moment ago began to subside a little.

But he had already spoken harsh words, and backing down now would be very embarrassing.

Thus, Brother Nineteen was suddenly stuck in an awkward spot.

Finally, he found an excuse and cursed: "But this is Chang Yi territory. You lot from Hong Xing coming over like this, doesn't that count as crossing the line?!"

David didn't want to cause a conflict either, so he cupped his hands: "Brother Nineteen, we aren't trying to cross the line. We aren't collecting protection fees, 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 Xing, aren't afraid of your Chang Yi Society."

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

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 could be bullied, which meant all their opponents gave him no face, and he, as a lackey, lived a very stifled life.

But now?

Just by mentioning Brother Zu, the other party was silenced.

David couldn't help but think: Sin, sin. I'm police, how do I have such dangerous thoughts?

But!

Seeing the arrogant Brother Nineteen 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 to leave, 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, Director Guan Zu from Causeway Bay is crossing the line, having his lackeys step onto our Lockhart Road."

He recounted the events.

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

Old Pan was at a car dealership, 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 Director 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 and hung up, another call came in.

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

Brother Nineteen: "Hmm??"

His brows furrowed tightly again!

A fire rose up.

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

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

"Alright, boss!"

Ten minutes later, his two yellow-haired lackeys dragged a Hong Xing lackey, hands tied behind his back, in front of Brother Nineteen.

"Kneel!"

The yellow-haired lackey shouted.

However, the Hong Xing lackey wouldn't kneel, his face full of indignation: "Don't slander people. We, Hong Xing, 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 boss Old Pan had officially spoken, Brother Nineteen wasn't sure if he would clash with Hong Xing, so he didn't dare to beat this Hong Xing lackey casually.

After all, Director Guan Zu was truly ruthless! Last time, Happy and Xiaosa were sent to prison without even a splash.

Brother Nineteen walked up to the Hong Xing lackey.

"Speak, what does Hong Xing want? Why come to my Chang Yi Society's turf?"

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

Brother Nineteen was surprised: "Just that?"

Hong Xing lackey: "That's right, just that... you can look at the flyer I'm handing out."

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

Although Brother Nineteen hadn't studied much, he was literate. He looked at the flyer; it indeed only mentioned a book stall and nothing else.

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

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

Since he hadn't caught Hong Xing's "criminal evidence" this time, it wouldn't be easy to make things difficult for this lackey.

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

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

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

Soon,

The Hong Xing lackey left.

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

"Brother Nineteen!"

"Hong Xing people came over here and are stopping us from working! Damn it, this is our Chang Yi turf, what does Hong Xing want to do?!"

Brother Nineteen furrowed his brows again upon hearing this.

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

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

Brother Nineteen was truly angry this time.

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

"You grab the Hong Xing people first!"

"Yes, boss!"

"Also, don't hit anyone yet."

"Ah?"

"Do as I say."

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

He complained about Hong Xing!

On the other side,

Wan Chai, Xie Fei Road, a street on the east side.

This was Hong Le territory.

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

Leading the Hong Xing team was Wu Ying's lackey, Axi.

Leading the Hong Le side was Fei Quan's lackey, Fatty Cong.

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

Fatty Cong pointed at Axi's chest: "What does Hong Xing want to do? Shi Shi (nickname, Stone Lion) has already agreed to join our Hong Le! You dare to stop us? This doesn't fit the underworld rules!"

Axi had been with Wu Ying for a long time and was no longer just a small hoodlum; he was a minor leader. Although he was thin and only brought two lackeys, not as many as the other side's eight, his confidence was strong.

He poked Fatty Cong's fat chest with his finger:

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

"Also, Hong Xing has always been reasonable!"

"This Shi Shi is now entrusted by his parents to Hong Xing for study and discipline. He is absolutely not allowed to join a triad!"

"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 behind his parents.

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

The son had always wanted to join a triad and had even paid money. Naturally, they didn't want that, but they were a bit afraid of Hong Le's fierce look.

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 situation in Causeway Bay, and suddenly, like finding a life-saving straw, they quickly paid money, requesting Axi and his group to help pull their son out of the fire pit.

And then this conflict between Hong Xing and Hong Le occurred.

"Damn it, are you stupid? Have you forgotten this is Hong Le territory!"

Fatty Cong poked Axi'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!" Axi shouted back, "We aren't acting in the name of Hong Xing 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, with the government as a safety net, his voice was loud!

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

Axi: "Come on, come on!"

Fatty Cong raised his hand in anger...

But, in the end, he put it down.

"You just wait!"

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

He directly called his boss, Fei Quan, to ask for his opinion, to avoid trouble.

The call to Fei Quan went through.

"Hey, boss!"

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

Fei Quan furrowed his brows instantly upon hearing this.

!.

He had just become a minor leader, not even a Red Pole. He still wanted to become a Red Pole, and he needed to recruit many, many lackeys.

And what is Hong Xing doing?

Running to Hong Le territory to stop me from recruiting lackeys?

"Where are you? Did you run to Hong Xing territory?"

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

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

"The thing is..." Fatty Cong began to recount everything.

Fei Quan was instantly furious upon hearing this.

Charity?

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

Fei Quan had his own logic of behavior. He was a newcomer to the underworld, he wanted to rise, he had extraordinary ambitions, he was enterprising, and he was sharp-edged. That's exactly 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 regarding the Xiaosa incident last time, where Brother Piao retreated before Hong Xing without daring to let out a fart.

Also, those hall masters and Red Poles were all over 40, and not a single young person was rising.

This Hong Le is old!

Fei Quan wants to rise and revitalize Hong Le!

Thinking of this, he showed a fierce look and said to Fatty Cong: "Beat them! But pay attention to the measure, don't kill anyone!"

Fatty Cong, on the other end of the phone, felt a boost in spirit: "Alright, boss!"

Having received Fei Quan's order, Fatty Cong laughed and pointed coldly at Axi and the other two,

"Beat them!"

"Beat them hard!"

Several newly joined lackeys, all wanting to stand out, were naturally very excited upon hearing this,

And pounced on Axi and the other two.

"Fatty Cong!"

Axi and the other two were shocked,

"Has your Hong Le gone crazy?!"

"Dare to hit us, Hong Xing?"

Fatty Cong laughed loudly: "That's right, we're hitting you, Hong Xing!"

"Beat them!"

Soon, a chaotic battle began.

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

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

Just at this critical moment,

A figure rushed over.

"Boom~~~"

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

Gao Gang had arrived.

Gao Qiu had anticipated there would be a conflict, so he had arranged manpower long ago. Gao Gang had been idle recently, so he was sent over.

"Who are you?"

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

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

Fatty Cong was furious: "Damn it, kill him!"

He rushed towards Gao Gang with a group of lackeys. He didn't believe that with eight people, even random punches couldn't finish this guy off.

"Tch~~"

Gao Gang gave a disdainful laugh, stomped on the ground, and his body surged up like a cannonball out of the chamber.

A lackey was about to punch him, but Gao Gang used a lightning-fast grapple, locking his wrist firmly, then used the lackey's own force against him, performing a shoulder throw and 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 two more lackeys.

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

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

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

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

Soon, the other few lackeys were cleanly and neatly dealt with by Gao Gang.

All of them were finished.

Axi and the other two, faces bruised and swollen, seeing Gao Gang so fierce, shouted excitedly:

"Brother Gang, awesome!!"

Every move just now was full of power, 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, there was no sense of achievement at all.

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

Heard there was also a very strong one called A Bu, who would be coming soon, which put even more pressure on Gao Gang.

"Hey hey hey~~~"

"A Cong!"

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

Gao Gang picked up the phone and said: "He's fainted, come over 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 felt it made sense, so they started moving immediately.

One hour later,

Ming Xin Hospital,

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

No one expected that Hong Xing's people would be so strong!

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

But Fatty 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 annoyed.

Whether it was to rise,

Or for his brother,

This time, he must find Hong Xing to get back at them!

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

He walked over angrily and said:

"Uncle Piao, this time Hong Xing went too far, we must fight back!"

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

He tried to appease Fei Quan: "Don't be impatient, what if there's a misunderstanding? Everything should be discussed by sitting down; only if it can't be discussed should we fight! Not fight directly!"

Fei Quan said impatiently: "What's there to discuss? They ran to our turf and even beat up our people!"

Uncle De became increasingly dissatisfied with Fei Quan's disrespectful attitude, but held back: "Tell me in detail about the process."

Fei Quan began to exaggerate, saying Hong Xing was on Hong Le's turf, stopping him from recruiting lackeys, and beating 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 Director Guan Zu to talk first!"

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

At this, Uncle De next to Brother Piao slammed the table, stood up, and pointed at Fei Quan, cursing:

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

"What is your status? A small 'Four-Nine', not even a Red Pole. Uncle Piao said he wants to talk; what qualification do you have to disagree?"

Fei Quan was in a fit of anger and pointed at Uncle De, cursing: "Dead old man, I've tolerated you for a long time too. You're so old, yet you occupy the position, not giving young people a chance to rise, contributing nothing to Hong Le!"

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

Brother Piao was also angry, glaring 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... the current Hong Le is too old. Every hall master is over 40, not a single young person. How can Hong Le fight like this? How can it grow?"

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

The lackeys present, upon hearing this, felt their emotions stir, feeling what he said was too right.

And Uncle De and those hall masters? They had all fought for the world with Brother Piao back then, and now they wanted to enjoy it. 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 annoyed with Fei Quan.

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

Brother Piao suddenly smiled and patted Fei Quan on the shoulder: "You want to rise, right?"

Fei Quan nodded: "Yes!"

Brother Piao said: "Good, I'll give you a chance... Sang Bo in 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 Xing more!"

To avenge his brother!
