Chapter 186: 186 Dragon Head: I
"Whether you are a parent or a student, if you encounter bullying by a triad, you can also come to the school. The school will uphold justice for you!"
Offstage,
Bozai's father, standing next to Shek Si Ding, gasped in astonishment upon hearing this. (From *Goodbye Jianghu*, male lead #3)
"This Five-Star Education Group, are they really that impressive?"
Shek Si Ding, hearing this, looked at Bozai's father and asked in surprise, "You don't know them?"
Bozai's father was puzzled: "Are they very famous?"
The two began to chat in low voices.
Shek Si Ding said: "This education group is under the banner of Hong Xing, the largest triad on Hong Kong Island, and belongs to the strongest hall master, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu. In the entire underworld, who is as big a shot as he is? Who dares not give him face?"
Bozai's father: "Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu?"
Shek Si Ding: "He's the Councilor Guan who stood up to Tycoon Li during the Shantou Street fire last time. His influence now basically covers the entire Wan Chai, and he has territory in Wong Tai Sin and Kowloon City. He has at least 5,000 gangsters under him—well, 'washed' gangsters, of course."
"5... 5,000?!"
Bozai's father was shocked.
Now he finally understood!
No wonder the principal on stage had such confidence to say those things.
Bozai's father was curious again: "With so many gangsters, don't the police investigate them?"
Shek Si Ding laughed: "They do legitimate business, white-collar stuff, and they often do charity work and cooperate with the police to crack down on criminals. Why would the police investigate them?"
These are things only people in the underworld understand; ordinary people have no idea.
Next,
Su Jianqiu on stage began to give a presentation using Wan Chai's success stories.
"Starting this year, Wan Chai has established multiple extracurricular tutoring schools, with a total of over 6,000 students..."
"After one month of discipline and academic tutoring, the percentage of students whose grades improved reached 100%. The rate of scoring 90+ in single subjects rose from 2.4% at the start to 14.25%, and the perfect score rate rose from 0% to 2.5%..."
"Our education group will bring Wan Chai's successful educational experience to Shek Tong Tsui Secondary School..."
The series of data made the eyes of the parents below light up...
Bozai's father couldn't help but feel excited after hearing this.
Good!
Too good!
This trash school, he never expected it to have such an opportunity.
His son is only in the second year of middle school; maybe he can even go to university in the future.
In a blink, it was noon.
Su Jianqiu finally finished his speech at the parent-teacher meeting.
"Clap, clap, clap~~~~~"
Thunderous applause erupted. One by one, the parents sent their applause to Su Jianqiu, the new principal, expressing their inner excitement and satisfaction.
Bozai's father returned home in high spirits, but his son Bozai wasn't home; he had gone out to hang out. He checked his wallet and found some money missing.
Bozai's father sighed.
This son is too hard to discipline.
He had no idea it wasn't that his son was hard to discipline, but that his son was being bullied, frequently extorted, and beaten if he didn't pay up.
At this moment, his girlfriend Tan Meili walked in, looking depressed. (From *Goodbye Jianghu*)
Bozai's father: "What? Lost again?"
Tan Meili shook her head, refusing to admit it.
Just now, at Yoyo's gambling den in Sheung Wan, she had lost her mind and borrowed 80,000 in usury from Yoyo. By the time she realized it, it was too late.
Now, she was in a panic.
That was 80,000!
In fact, what she didn't know was that she had fallen into a trap.
The sex industry first requires a large number of women; the source of women is the primary issue for this industry.
There is a specific trade for this, young gangsters who specialize in luring women, commonly known as "pimps," different from a regular pimp.
Many sex workers are lured into the fire pit by the sweet talk or material enjoyment offered by these pimps (like the two best friends of that Ah Ying).
There are also some who sell their bodies voluntarily due to a lack of survival options or to support a poor family (like Zhong Tianzheng's wife in the original plot, who was dragged in by a madam for her son's medical bills).
And Bozai's father's girlfriend, Tan Meili, because she was decent-looking and liked to gamble, had fallen into Yoyo's trap, saddled with usury. With interest rolling on interest, it would roll into hundreds of thousands or millions in just a few months.
According to the original plot, she would be forced to drink with Yoyo's business partner (a drug dealer) and then be... After returning, she would be devastated, have nightmares, and eventually commit suicide.
People with such encounters are everywhere on Hong Kong Island.
If there were no one like Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu to protect them, they would surely die without a burial place.
"Lost is lost."
Bozai's father, seeing his girlfriend in a bad mood, comforted her.
"Just don't gamble anymore in the future."
He thought it was just ordinary money lost; he never imagined she had borrowed usury.
Tan Meili nodded.
Although she was in a bad mood, she was relatively naive and hadn't realized the horror of usury, thinking Yoyo had a good relationship with her and would definitely give her an extension, letting her work to earn money to pay it back slowly.
Soon,
Bozai returned.
On his face, there was a new bruise, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth.
Bozai's father saw it and was instantly furious:
"Bozai, were you beaten again?"
"Who hit you?"
Bozai lowered his head and said: "No one hit me, I bumped into something."
Bozai's father pressed him several times, but Bozai said nothing.
Bozai's father was very annoyed: "Fine! You won't say it, right? That's okay, I can't handle it, I'll find your school to handle it!"
Bozai heard this and didn't want to talk; he felt his old man was just naive.
Bozai's father picked up the phone number he had written down today and dialed.
"Hello, this is the Five-Star Education Group call center. How can I help you?"
"Hello, I am a parent of a student at Shek Tong Tsui Secondary School, my son is a student at the school..."
He told the whole story.
Customer Service: "Okay, I will record this first. Someone will go to the school tomorrow to find your son to understand the situation, and we will give you an answer within three days..."
Bozai's father heard this and realized it was actually possible!
6!
Customer Service continued: "Please rest assured, this parent, our Five-Star Education Group has always had zero tolerance for such illegal and criminal acts!"
Bozai's father was grateful: "Thank you!"
After hanging up the phone, Bozai's father smiled.
Bozai said disdainfully: "Old man, it's useless, the school can't control those bad guys at all."
Bozai's father knocked Bozai on the head: "Now your school has changed management, from now on you just study hard, you know?"
Bozai curled his lips, not believing it.
In his world, teachers were trash and couldn't control those bullies at all.
And at this time,
The Peninsula Hotel,
In a private room, Jian Aowei was treating Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu to a meal.
"Mr. Guan, it's been two weeks since our last meal..."
"I heard recently that Mr. Guan has acquired a new school in Shek Tong Tsui."
"Congratulations, congratulations."
Jian Aowei had been very enthusiastic since they met.
It was just a bit too enthusiastic, making Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu suspicious.
And Jian Dingchi didn't come this time.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu put down his cup: "It seems Lawyer Jian has already made a choice."
Jian Aowei paused and said apologetically, "I am very sorry, and I am also very grateful for Mr. Guan's sincerity."
"My brother and I are very moved by Mr. Guan's sincerity, especially my brother, who has always wanted to be a councilor."
"But after careful consideration, we feel it is not suitable."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details!" Jian Aowei said: "I have always felt that my brother lacks the drive to advance but has enough to hold onto what he has. Being a Legislative Councilor is still too dangerous for him... but being a District Councilor is very suitable for him."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu thought of Jian Dingchi's silly appearance; in the original plot, he even went to the Hong Xing assembly to canvass for votes, and was finally dragged by Brother Ge and others to take photos for the newspapers.
Indeed, if Jian Dingchi were made a Legislative Councilor, he would probably be played to death by those old schemers.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu raised his glass: "That's a pity... I hope we can still be friends in the future."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu didn't absolutely need Jian Aowei.
In two years, let alone a lawyer, I, myself, will be the law!
Jian Aowei breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, we are still friends!"
He didn't dare to agree to Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu for another reason.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's identity as a Hong Xing boy.
Logically, it would be simple for Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu to leave the triad; he just needed to go to the "Triad Membership Cancellation" department, register, fill out a form, go through the motions, and then announce he was leaving Hong Xing and drawing a line, and he would be completely ashore.
But...
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu didn't!
Instead, he continued to hold this Hong Xing identity!
!.
Does he have a big scheme?
Does he want to do something bigger and more dangerous himself?
Or is someone (from the North) asking Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu to do something bigger?
Jian Aowei didn't continue to think.
He still wanted to be an independent barrister without any political stance.
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was not disappointed by being rejected after the meal with Jian Aowei.
Instead, he became even more determined!
To forge iron, one must be strong oneself!
Let me develop slowly, develop slowly...
Currently, it's Hong Kong Island: I have gradually settled Wan Chai and the Central and Western District; next, there are still North Point, Chai Wan, and the Southern District (remote, luxury residential area)...
After settling Hong Kong Island, there are still Kowloon and the New Territories...
When I develop to the later stage, no one will be able to stop me!
At the door,
The two parted ways.
Jian Aowei suddenly said: "Mr. Guan, I don't know if I can ask, why not leave Hong Xing?"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled: "There are many reasons... but the most important thing is that I still have many Hong Xing brothers. I said I would lead them to live a stable and good life. If I leave, what will happen to them?"
Jian Aowei was stunned.
It's that simple?
A new day,
Bozai's father drove his truck to send Bozai to school.
Before entering the school gate, Bozai's father took out 100 Hong Kong dollars and handed it to Bozai: "Study hard, eat well... also, I will come to pick you up at 21:30 tonight."
Bozai was speechless: "Old man, you forgot again, I get out of school in the afternoon."
Bozai's father smiled without saying a word.
After Bozai returned to school, he walked slowly back to the classroom.
At this time, two tall and strong people with red armbands on their arms, written "School Discipline Group," walked in.
"Who is George!"
"I am!" George stood up.
"We are from the school discipline group, now you are suspected of *****, please come with us."
Yellow-haired George looked disdainful:
"You dare to control me?"
"Do you know who my boss is?"
Yellow-haired George snorted coldly, pointing his thumb at himself, very arrogant.
The discipline group members were Five-Star lackeys, and after hearing this, they sneered directly.
Have a boss?
Even better!
Now, there's money to be collected!
"Who is your boss?"
"Open your ears and listen well, our boss is named Brother Dog, and the triad is He Lian She!"
The Five-Star lackeys were happy after hearing this.
"He Lian She, right? Dog, right?"
George was furious upon hearing this: "Fine, fine, fine, you look down on my Brother Dog, right? Soon I will let you know what kind of person Brother Dog is!"
Hong Xing lackey: "No need, we will call Fei Zhan and let him come to talk to your so-called Brother Dog."
George: "??"
Fei Zhan?
Isn't this Uncle Zhan's nickname?
Isn't he the current boss of He Lian Sheng?
Why do these people in front of me seem to give Uncle Zhan no face?
Soon,
He was grabbed and taken to a classroom and locked up. Locked up with him were several others, all bully classmates he usually hung out with.
Not long after,
Fei Zhan ran to the school panting.
He asked to see Su Jianqiu.
"Brother Qiu!" Fei Zhan was a generation older than Su Jianqiu, but at this time he was still respectful, calling him Brother Qiu in a low voice.
Su Jianqiu turned his pen, his eyes sharp: "I heard you have a very powerful lackey under you, called Brother Dog, who scared my students so much they have no heart to study... Tell me, what should we do?"
Fei Zhan was so scared he quickly said: "We didn't know this school was bought by Brother Zu, I'm sorry, we will definitely not cause trouble in the school in the future."
Then he shouted outside,
"Brother Dog" was tied up with a rope and pushed in, his face bruised and swollen, obviously having been beaten hard.
"Kneel!"
Fei Zhan kicked him angrily; damn it, they keep causing trouble for me!
"Brother Qiu, I'm sorry, I won't do it again, spare me."
Brother Dog was crying in his heart; damn it, do these people under Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu have something wrong with them? Isn't it good for you to manage the territory of He He Xing? Why are you still acquiring schools?
So wronged!!
"Begging for mercy?"
Su Jianqiu's expression was indifferent: "If begging for mercy was useful, what would we need the school for? The old rules, if you do something wrong, you have to admit it."
Fei Zhan's old heart trembled with fear.
It's over, I have to spend money to avoid disaster again!
Su Jianqiu took out a piece of paper: "Brother Zu taught us that we must be fair in doing things, so I won't cheat you..."
"You were ***** (harmonized) in the school, so that adds up to 400,000!"
Fei Zhan's face turned green.
Su Jianqiu: "Also, if you do something wrong, you have to do some good deeds. How about this, donate 200,000 to our Five-Star Charity Foundation..."
Fei Zhan's face turned pale.
These people, they say they are doing charity, but they are really ruthless when they cut the knife!
He couldn't help but suspect whether these guys were using the name of charity to scrape money!
Su Jianqiu: "A total of 600,000... Fei Zhan, when will you give the money?!"
Fei Zhan gritted his teeth: "Within 10 days, I will definitely give it!"
Su Jianqiu nodded: "Good... then get out!"
Waving his hand,
Fei Zhan took his men and turned to leave.
At this time, Su Jianqiu said: "By the way, those students, they only know how to harm classmates and don't study... I hope you can help them turn over a new leaf and return to school to study seriously, understand?"
Fei Zhan quickly said: "Understood."
Half an hour later,
George and those students returned to the classroom with bruised faces and bleeding mouths.
They had been taught a lesson by Fei Zhan.
Fei Zhan told them directly that if they didn't study well, he would beat them every time he saw them.
This is called—persuading learning with fists and feet!
Fei Zhan was also very speechless in his heart: I've been a gangster for decades, and this is the first time I've done something so positive!
And I was forced to do it.
Family, who understands this!
