Chapter 135

"Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu!"

"Seven o'clock tonight!"

"Wan Chai Longmen Grand Restaurant!"

"Our five triads welcome your arrival!"

Camel made a phone call to Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

Calling it an invitation for Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu to come over was more like an ultimatum, carrying a strong confidence that "the advantage is with us."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu received this call and let out a light laugh,

"Interesting... these five triads have actually united."

He wasn't panicked at all, because he had long anticipated that these triads would do this. Eating alone this time was bound to provoke public anger; it would be strange if those five triads could swallow this insult.

But it doesn't matter, you form an alliance, I can call brothers too.

Thus, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu made a call to Jiang Tiansheng.

"Jiang Sheng..."

He explained everything.

Jiang Tiansheng had naturally been paying attention to the major events in Wan Chai, and he was also very surprised to see that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu had actually suppressed the major triads.

"Good, I will bring Hong Xing's brothers to the scene tonight!"

"Thank you, Jiang Sheng!"

"We are all brothers, no need for courtesy." Jiang Tiansheng laughed; the larger Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's territory, the more Hong Xing could skim off the top—this was a good thing.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu felt a bit strange after hearing this; he didn't expect Jiang Tiansheng's style to have changed, talking about brothers left and right.

What?

Are you like me, also a family-man hero?

After hanging up on Jiang Tiansheng, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu made another call to Huang Bingyao.

A grand gathering of several gangs like this is no small matter; it's better to inform the police.

"Chief Huang, tonight..."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu explained the evening's events in detail, and Huang Bingyao indicated he would make arrangements so the police wouldn't interfere.

Subsequently, Huang Bingyao mentioned one more thing.

"Last time, you said you wanted to get to know the new Chief of the Wan Chai Police Station and wanted to donate some money to the station..."

"As it happens, I have some connection with him."

"I can help you build a bridge, but... he is a person who... well, you'll understand for yourself."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was instantly delighted: "Thank you, Brother Yao!"

I, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, am a legitimate businessman; I love making friends with people from the police force the most!

An hour later,

on the vast sea,

a yacht was anchored on the sea surface west of Lamma Island.

At this moment, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and the Chief of the Wan Chai Police Station, Zhou Chengbo, finally met. (From the movie "Long Arm of the Law II")

Because they didn't know each other, Zhou Chengbo was quite cautious, so he chose the sea, fearing Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu might set a trap. If it weren't for Huang Bingyao's strong recommendation, he wouldn't have dared to come.

"Councilor Guan, I have long admired your great name!"

Zhou Chengbo shook Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's hand lightly, his tone inevitably revealing a hint of arrogance.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled humbly: "Chief Zhou, I have long heard of your lofty reputation as a righteous official. To see you in person today is truly a blessing of three lifetimes."

The two exchanged pleasantries while sizing each other up.

Chief Zhou looked at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and felt that this person was sunny and handsome, with a smile that had strong affinity; he didn't look like a gangster, because gangsters are generally uncultured and vulgar; nor did he look like a rich second-generation playboy, because playboys look gentle but are actually arrogant; instead, he looked more like a dazzling superstar, but with more majesty than a superstar!

And Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu? Looking at this Chief Zhou, his first reaction was that he was greasy and hypocritical; although his build was taller than Huang Bingyao's, his temperament lacked the grandeur of Huang Bingyao.

Some people have naturally compatible auras and feel very close to Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, such as Huang Bingyao.

And some people are naturally mutually repulsive and disgusting to each other, such as this Chief Zhou.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu silently reduced the donation by half.

Of course, on the surface, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu remained very enthusiastic.

10 minutes later,

after some cordial conversation, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu started the main topic.

"Chief Zhou!"

"In recent years, the law and order in Wan Chai has been getting better and better, which is inseparable from the efforts of the officers at the Wan Chai Police Station..."

"In order to improve the working environment of the Wan Chai Police Station and enhance police efficiency, I am willing to donate..."

Then he wrote a check—500,000.

He also tucked in a 500,000 Jockey Club winning ticket and pushed it in front of Chief Zhou.

Chief Zhou took a look,

500,000 check donation.

His expression softened slightly; 500,000, he should be able to skim off 300,000...

Not bad either.

Then he looked at the second one!

500,000 bearer Jockey Club winning ticket!

The arrogance vanished on the spot, followed by shock.

Damn!

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu actually sent such a good thing!

My perspective was too small!

"Hahaha~~~"

"Thank you, Councilor Guan, you are truly too generous! On behalf of all the officers at the Wan Chai Police Station, I sincerely thank Councilor Guan for this 500,000 donation."

Chief Zhou extended both hands,

gripping Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's hand tightly!

A hundred times more enthusiastic!

Just like seeing his own brother!

At the same time, he began to secretly envy Huang Bingyao, feeling that Huang Bingyao must have skimmed quite a lot from Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu!

Evening.

Wan Chai,

the night sky was like ink.

Longmen Grand Restaurant, East Banquet Hall, brightly lit.

Inside the banquet hall, the space was spacious yet appeared unusually crowded.

Chui Ji of Wo Luen Shing, Brother Piao of Hong Lok Society, Brother Sheng of Hong Sheng Society, and Gui Li Gao of Dong Xing Society also took their seats, each occupying a side. The trusted subordinates behind them were all sizing up the people from other triads.

At this moment, the door opened.

Camel arrived with the Three Tigers of Dong Xing and He Yong.

"Brother Camel!" *4

Chui Ji, Brother Piao, Brother Sheng, and Gui Li Gao hurriedly stood up to greet him.

Camel scanned the entire room and frowned:

"Not a single person from Hong Xing came?"

As soon as he finished speaking, from the other side, a sound of footsteps came.

Only to see the Dragon Head of Hong Xing Society, Jiang Tiansheng, walking in slowly, closely followed by Chen Yao, Tai Lo B, Prince... and a dozen other hall masters, walking into the banquet hall.

"Hahaha~~~ Sorry for the wait!"

"There was a traffic jam on the road!"

Jiang Tiansheng laughed and apologized, cupping his hands to everyone.

"Jiang Sheng!"

"Jiang Sheng!"

Chui Ji of Wo Luen Shing, Brother Piao of Hong Lok Society, Brother Sheng of Hong Sheng Society, Gui Li Gao of Dong Xing Society, and others had no choice but to cup their hands to Jiang Tiansheng.

This is the strength and status of Hong Kong's number one triad.

Camel scanned the room and didn't find Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, feeling a bit dissatisfied: "Where is Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu? Didn't he come?"

Jiang Tiansheng smiled: "Sorry, A Zu just called to say that he was just discussing some Wan Chai government affairs with the foreign official of the Wan Chai government, but he has finished talking now and is on his way."

"............"

Camel, Chui Ji, Brother Piao, Old Pan, Brother Sheng, and Gui Li Gao were silenced instantly.

Fine, fine, fine!

Showing off to us before even arriving, right!

Damn!

Being a councilor is such a big deal, huh!

Damn it, be careful, I'll run for councilor in '93 too, I'll be a councilor too!

Of course, that was just talk; none of them had washed their hands of crime, so it was still very difficult to run for councilor.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu hadn't arrived, so naturally, the matter couldn't be discussed.

Jiang Tiansheng acted as the host, called the waiter to order dishes for everyone, and then raised a glass on the spot to have a drink with everyone.

The atmosphere was enthusiastic!

Watching this scene, Camel felt a surge of frustration.

The tense atmosphere, which had been on the verge of breaking out, was directly reduced by a third.

Ten minutes later,

"Clang~~~~"

The door of the banquet hall opened again.

"Hahaha~~~ Sorry, I'm late!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu arrived.

Behind him followed the Four Great Vajras: Gao Jin, Xiao Fu, Li Jie, and A Bu.

Chen Ho Nam, Sheng Fan, and others hadn't seen Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu for some time. Now, seeing Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, who had become a councilor, his temperament had undergone another earth-shaking change.

He was even more majestic, confident, and imposing.

Not only did they feel this way, but even Chen Yao, Tai Lo B, and Prince felt that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was becoming increasingly different.

He had completely detached himself from their level.

They secretly thought: "No wonder Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu dared to take on six alone this time, awesome!"

People from other triads felt the same way.

The aura Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu brought in through the door was very strong, no worse than the aura Jiang Tiansheng had when he arrived just now.

Hua Fu, who had already hired a gunman to assassinate Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, couldn't help but be shocked upon seeing Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, feeling subconsciously guilty and avoiding eye contact.

Camel felt this change and knew he couldn't let things go on like this; they were here to hold him accountable, not to celebrate Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's success.

"Bang!!!"

Camel slapped the table and said loudly,

"Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, today we are here to reason with you, not to eat with you!"

"Reason? That's good, I like reasoning."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu sat leisurely in the empty seat next to Jiang Tiansheng and smiled:

"I don't know what reasoning you want to talk to me about, Mr. Camel."

Camel looked at Brother Piao, Old Pan, Brother Sheng, Gui Li Gao... the five of them.

Signaling for them to go ahead.

Camel's status was that of the Dragon Head of the major Dong Xing triad; his opponent should be Jiang Tiansheng, not Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

As his gaze fell, Brother Piao, Old Pan, Gui Li Gao, and Chui Ji all lowered their heads. Camel was simply furious!

Mud that can't be plastered onto a wall!

Especially Chui Ji, you're the leader of Wo Luen Shing, and Wo Luen Shing is a major triad, after all; how could you be so weak as to fear Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

Finally, it was Brother Sheng of Hong Sheng who was a bit tougher,

Brother Sheng slapped the table: "Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, that Hong Xing territory, we had clearly already seized a part of it; by what right did you bring people to go and snatch our territory?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looked at Brother Sheng without speaking, sized him up a few times, and then let out a scoff, as if mocking him.

Brother Sheng's face flushed red, and he became angry from embarrassment: "What are you laughing at?!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu threw a cigarette into his mouth with a light, leisurely laugh, lit it, took a slow drag, and finally said with a mocking smile:

"So you are Brother Sheng of Hong Sheng Society..."

"I've long heard of your reputation, but I've never met you. Seeing you today, it really lives up to the name."

"Six years ago, Wan Chai had a very impressive Nine-Patterned Dragon, whom you sent to Myanmar and Thailand to collect debts, and then you sold him out..."

Before he could finish, Brother Sheng was so angry his face turned purple!

!.

"Nonsense!"

"I would never betray my own subordinates!"

However, as soon as his words fell, everyone from the triads present showed strange expressions.

Who in the Jianghu doesn't know about this?

And you're still denying it here?

"Clang~~~"

Camel slapped the table directly,

"Enough!"

He glared at Brother Sheng; truly, he couldn't accomplish anything and only ruined things!

Camel looked at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "Regardless of what you say, that Hong Xing territory is not yours, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu. We occupied it first, so naturally, it's ours! You sending people later to beat our people is your fault!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was surprised: "That's not right, it should be me who was first... Fei Long of Hong Xing Society personally said that the Hong Xing territory was handed over to me, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, to handle... According to Jianghu rules, this Hong Xing territory is mine, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's."

Camel sneered: "Fei Long's words are worth nothing; he has been washed clean for three years, how can he represent Hong Xing?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu spread his hands: "You say your reasoning, I say mine, so there's nothing to talk about, right? In the end, it still depends on whose fist is harder, isn't that so?"

Camel slapped the table and cursed: "Are you an idiot? We have so many triads, can you, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, handle it?"

"Haha~~~"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu couldn't help but laugh, mocking: "You say I'm an idiot, I think you're the senile one. What era is this? Still using the old style of the 70s and 80s, fighting and killing, bringing people to cause trouble at every turn..."

"Last night, if I hadn't spoken to the police, do you think you could have brought so many people over? That was me giving you a chance to fight me; whoever wins, the territory is theirs."

"As a result, you were all disappointing and all lost."

"Everyone is an adult; since you lost, you have to admit defeat. Don't be shameless, thinking you didn't lose. Still wanting to play dirty, thinking that by pressuring me, you can get the territory—where in the world is there such a cheap thing?"

The entire room fell silent instantly.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu wasn't wrong.

Last night, they had indeed lost.

"Wrong!"

Brother Sheng stood up at this moment and shouted at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "You, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, colluded with the police, violating Jianghu morality; from the very root, you were wrong."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu rolled his eyes: "Damn it, I told you you were an idiot and you didn't believe me. What is my status now? I am a councilor, a public official; what's the problem with cooperating with the police!"

"Also, have you forgotten the nature of my company? Legally paying taxes, a legal enterprise, having property security contracts with those shop owners... You bringing people over to collect protection fees is illegal, it's a crime; and my property company resisting you is legitimate self-defense and is legal!"

"Under normal circumstances, as long as we call the police, you all have to go to prison."

"Last night, I already gave you enough face by letting A Bu make an appointment in the park to give you a fair chance to compete. Who told you to be so weak? A Bu actually took out all of you."

"In short, if you're weak, practice more; don't cry when you lose, rolling on the ground, playing the rogue—that will only make people look down on you!"

Camel, Brother Piao, Old Pan... and everyone else fell silent again.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's words were truly damn unpleasant!

What was even more heart-piercing was that they didn't know how to refute him.

Their few triads had indeed been pierced through by A Bu and his men.

"I'm not convinced!"

Brother Sheng was still very angry and said loudly:

"You, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, eating alone is just wrong!"

"You have to share some with our few triads, otherwise, if our few triads gather our men, I want to see if you, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, can hold out!"

"I think Councilor Guan should care about his reputation, right? You wouldn't want to see news reports of large groups of gangsters causing trouble in your territory every day, right?"

Brother Piao, Old Pan, Brother Sheng, Gui Li Gao, and others' eyes lit up upon hearing this.

That's right!

Why didn't they think of that?

What kind of person is Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu?

A councilor!

He has to care about his reputation!

If they sent people to cause trouble in Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's territory every day and then found newspapers to smear Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, let's see if Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu can hold out!

Good idea!!

Who knew...

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu just sneered: "Calling you naive is really being naive... So what if you cause trouble? My company is a legally tax-paying company; calling the police is enough."

"As it happens, the police force also needs performance results; your bail money is a performance bonus for them. I believe the Wan Chai police force will be very welcoming of you doing this."

Camel and the others: "............"

Silenced again.

At this time,

"Enough!"

"I, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, am not an unreasonable person."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu also knew that one shouldn't push things to the extreme; being too rigid makes one easy to break, so he knew when to stop.

This group of people had such great resentment; if things went wrong, they might cause trouble for him, or even resort to shooting from the shadows.

So it was better to offer some sweetness.

"I promise, in these few streets of Hong Xing, illegal places like gambling dens, brothels, foot massage parlors, bathhouses, saunas... except for Hong Xing, you can also operate them!"

Anyway, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu doesn't do these things, so throwing them to them is fine.

As soon as Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's words came out,

everyone's eyes lit up.

Especially Brother Piao, Old Pan, and Gui Li Gao, who were already tempted.

"But I have two conditions!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu held up two fingers.

"The first condition, property management fees, I'm charging 5 times!"

"The second condition, no drug trafficking, otherwise don't blame me, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, for being ruthless!"

Here, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu also deliberately dug a pit for these people.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu didn't believe they wouldn't traffic drugs.

When Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu wanted to annex their respective territories, he would need an excuse to act, and this drug trafficking would be that excuse!

Camel didn't buy the benefit Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu offered.

He thought to himself, I, the dignified Dong Xing Dragon Head, came here, and only got this little benefit?

Didn't I come here for nothing?

Moreover, Sha Mang was dead, and he should have been more concerned about Sha Mang's matter, but he still came here and showed enough importance to this place.

Camel was just about to speak,

when Brother Piao slapped the table: "I agree!"

Old Pan and Gui Li Gao followed closely: "I agree too!"

The three of them were all old men, their triads were small, and they had families and grandchildren; they were at the age to enjoy their twilight years.

There was no need to fight too fiercely, lest they suffer a disaster.

Once these three expressed their stance,

Camel: "............"

His mentality exploded instantly!

He was so angry he almost kicked these three old things to death!

Mud that can't be plastered onto a wall!

They agreed so easily?

And on Brother Sheng's side, after thinking carefully,

This Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu is notoriously insidious and likes to collude with the police. And he himself had dirty hands, relying on the drug money from that Myanmar-Thailand line; if he really offended Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu too deeply and Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu let the police sweep his territory, wouldn't he be finished?

He felt it was better to stop while he was ahead!

Although it was a pity not to have taken the territory, he would remember this grudge; if he found an opportunity in the future, there would definitely be a heavy reward!

Thus, Brother Sheng also followed: "I agree too."

At this point, only Camel was left in the room who hadn't expressed an opinion.

Camel: "............"

He almost spat out a mouthful of old blood!

This group of teammates, they were all pigs!

There was no other way; Camel could only hold his nose: "Since everyone agrees, if I don't agree, it would seem a bit out of place."

He raised his glass.

Took a sip.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was already very clear.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu laughed: "Thank you, Mr. Camel, and all the Dragon Heads for your support!"

"From now on, let's be harmonious and get rich together!"

"Cheers!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu raised his glass.

"Cheers!"

The atmosphere in the room finally eased, and they all toasted together.

Jiang Tiansheng raised his glass and took a small sip, unable to help sighing inwardly: "I didn't expect A Zu to have grown to this point now; he doesn't even need me to back him up anymore."

You know, a few months ago, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was just a small-time thug.

And the other hall masters of Hong Xing also felt the strangeness of fate; Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was like a protagonist of destiny, turning into a dragon once he encountered the wind and clouds, soaring into the sky.

As for Hua Fu at the second table, seeing Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu so majestic, he felt a surge of jealousy.

"No rush, once I frame the boss this time, I can ascend!"

"The one who laughs last will be me!"
