Chapter 294

A black McLaren came from Yau Ma Tei and entered Causeway Bay.

Finally, it stopped under the Five Star Group building.

"We're here."

Ah Ting, Ah Dong, and Ah Xiang, the three brothers, got out of the car and looked up at the building.

It was 12 stories high, but the exterior lights were brilliant; in the eyes of the three, it appeared so majestic and extraordinary.

Because there was a legendary figure here—Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu!

A big shot who started as a gangster but is now frequently on the news headlines and arm-wrestling with Mr. Li!

A real man should be like this!

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu is Ah Ting's direction forward!

"Let's go!"

The three walked toward the main entrance, and two subordinates at the door blocked their way: "May I ask the three of you..."

Ah Ting said politely: "Brother, I am Wei Ting from Heng Ji; Mr. Guan called me over."

The subordinate contacted the secretary's office upstairs via headset, and only after getting a reply did they let them pass.

"Go up, 12th floor!"

"Thanks!"

The three walked into the lobby; the 6-meter-high ceiling was magnificent and grand.

They took the elevator all the way to the 12th floor.

Arriving at the secretary's office, Fang Ting was working; she looked up and saw the three, saying:

"Brother Zu is inside; which one of you is Ah Ting?"

"Me."

"Go in; you two wait downstairs."

The three of them said respectfully: "Yes!"

Ah Dong and Ah Xiang went downstairs, while Ah Ting followed Fang Ting to knock on the door and walked into Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's office.

"Brother Zu, the person is here."

"Come in."

As soon as Ah Ting entered, he saw Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu sitting at his desk, working, and then he saw the couplet hanging on the wall behind Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

Obey the law!

Be kind to others!

Open and aboveboard!

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looked at Ah Ting: "What? Do you recognize these two characters?"

Ah Ting knew Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was testing him and said solemnly: "These two characters are 'Tan Dang' (Open and aboveboard)."

"Hahaha~~~ Good!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu clapped his hands and laughed: "Many people think these two characters are 'Dang Fu' (promiscuous woman), heh, illiterate!"

That's right, I'm talking about you, Wu Ying!

Wu Ying: Why point me out alone! I'm going to be angry!

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "What is your educational background?"

Ah Ting: "Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Business Administration, undergraduate degree."

He used to be a good student who studied hard, until the year he was in Form 6 preparatory class, one day his mother's fruit stall was bullied by a person named "Jiu Jiu Jiu Wenlong" who wanted to collect protection fees, overturned the fruit stall, and beat his mother; he rose up to resist and was beaten up.

Later, fortunately, he joined the brothers of the Heng Ji triad, called Brother Yao Wen, and Brother Yao Wen pointed at Jiu Jiu Jiu Wenlong and scolded him, "I'll sweep your two streets first, then plant a flag and talk to you," scaring the aggressive Jiu Jiu Jiu Wenlong into fleeing in a sorry state.

It was this majestic scene that made Ah Ting feel that joining the triad might be a good idea.

This experience was the same as Jimmy Zai's.

However, Ah Ting did not give up his studies but continued to study, successfully got into university, and only joined Heng Ji after graduation.

Relying on his unique university student status, he quickly won the favor of Min Shu, who told him to make contributions and get promoted as soon as possible.

Subsequently, he was introduced to the big boss Wang Bo by his classmate Bo Zai and started the building and debt collection project. The so-called building collection was naturally similar to the last time the Li family wanted to demolish those 3 buildings in Wong Tai Sin, using violent means to force residents to move out of their properties. The so-called money collection was the act of using violent means to collect money when usury couldn't be collected.

Relying on his brain and the support of Brother Yao Wen's men, the building and debt collection went smoothly, and he was favored by more and more bosses.

The business grew bigger and bigger.

However, he soon encountered setbacks.

Setback 1: When he was attending a party for the rich second generation with his rich second-generation girlfriend, he was despised by the rich second generation, which poured a basin of cold water on his success.

Setback 2: In building and debt collection, he collected the money of the cooperating boss of another group of people in Heng Ji, Sister Ai Lian, and was caught by Huo Bao Ming, almost beaten to death, and finally saved by Brother Yao Wen.

These two things made him realize that he was too weak and he wanted to be the leader.

There was another boss who valued his ability and wanted to cooperate; that boss would provide money to build houses, Ah Ting would collect the land, and resist other gangsters, and finally give Ah Ting 20% of the shares. The only basis for cooperation was that he had to be the leader.

This made Ah Ting even more eager to get the position of leader.

Just at this time, Min Shu said: The three-year term has arrived, he is going to step down as leader, and a new leader needs to be elected.

Thus,

Brother Yao Wen pushed Ah Ting to the top.

Sister Ai Lian pushed Zi Jian to the top.

The two fought like dragons and tigers.

And then there was the scene of Ah Ting and Zi Jian showing off their horses tonight.

……

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu got to the point: "I also watched the excitement tonight... What? In the entire Heng Ji, only the two of you are coming to compete?"

Ah Ting raised his head and said proudly: "Hmph, that Zi Jian has no brains at all, he only knows how to fight and kill; those uncles and elders know that only I can bring new development to Heng Ji."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled: "It seems you think you will definitely win?"

Ah Ting nodded, full of confidence: "I have money, I have a lot of bosses supporting me, and I have already obtained the votes of most of the uncles and elders; I have definitely secured this leadership position!"

Pfft~~~

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu laughed: "Sorry, I usually don't laugh, unless I really can't help it."

Ah Ting was stunned.

Realizing something, he hurriedly lowered his body respectfully and said:

"Please give me some guidance, Mr. Guan!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled and told the story of Piao Ge and Old Pan: "These old people enjoy the benefits of the triad, so they naturally won't want Fei Quan and Shi Jiu to take the top spot..."

"In the end, Fei Quan died, Shi Jiu died..."

"Tell me, don't you think the situation between you and that Zi Jian is like Fei Quan and Shi Jiu?"

At this time, Ah Ting's head was buzzing~~

He had never thought of this situation at all!

He still wanted to defend himself: "But... Min Shu is quite good to me... and those uncles all support me..."

"Hahaha~~~ You are so naive, it's quite cute..."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu said: "You don't even think about it, Min Shu and the others are so old, why hasn't anyone taken over their shift until now?"

Speaking of this, Ah Ting was stunned.

That's right.

Why?

Min Shu is so old, half-buried in the ground, why is he still the leader?

If I remember correctly, some time ago, Huo Bao Ming (another big Red Pole in Heng Ji, Zi Jian's boss) was dissatisfied with the triad's profit distribution and wanted to be independent.

Then Min Shu issued a kill order, and he was finally killed by Ah Ting, rewarded by Min Shu, successfully established his position, and became a Red Pole big shot.

At first, Ah Ting felt that Huo Bao Ming was wrong and shouldn't have betrayed Heng Ji. But from another perspective, wasn't it because Min Shu and these old people were occupying most of Heng Ji's profits, making Huo Bao Ming, who was working like a horse, dissatisfied?

If he took the top spot, he would naturally want to share these uncles' profits, and they would definitely be dissatisfied.

He would probably follow the same path as Huo Bao Ming.

The last glimmer of luck in Ah Ting's heart disappeared.

"Then Mr. Guan, what is your purpose... Everyone definitely wants to get benefits; I don't know what benefits you want, Mr. Guan?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu said lightly: "I want him to die, and then replace him with a smart person to manage Heng Ji!"

Ah Ting: "Why?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "Because he rejected my proposal."

Ah Ting: "…………"

So overbearing!

He rejected you, so he must die?

However, Ah Ting thought about who was in front of him, and it seemed quite reasonable.

Ah Ting lowered his head: "I don't know what Mr. Guan's proposal is?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looked down at Ah Ting:

"We won't interfere with your protection fees, usury, and so on... but Five Star Education and Five Star Property must enter, and you must abide by the rules of Five Star!"

"In a word, from now on, my rules are the rules of Yau Tsim Mong." Ah Ting gasped.

No wonder Min Shu refused to agree; even if it were him, he wouldn't agree to this kind of thing!

Because his main means of making money is building and debt collection, which naturally conflicts with Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu!

Unless he is willing to make trade-offs.

Ah Ting bowed: "Please give me some time to consider, Mr. Guan."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looked at Ah Ting and smiled:

"I think highly of you, university student, smart, knows the situation, can see the future... If you come to help me do things, I will be very happy."

"However..."

"I have always felt that there is only one fate between people. And my fate with you only lasts for three days... After three days, if you make a choice, then the fate is over."

"Understand?"

Ah Ting's heart tightened, and he bowed: "Okay!"

He knew that the so-called "fate is over"... means becoming an enemy.

Becoming an enemy with Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu?

Just thinking about it makes him feel the pressure.

!.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu waved his hand: "Go!"

"Goodbye!" Ah Ting bowed, retreated with worry, went downstairs, and joined the three brothers Ah Dong and Ah Xiang.

"How was it?"

"What did you talk about?"

Ah Ting's face was solemn: "Let's talk in the car."

The three got in the car, and the car left Causeway Bay and arrived at the seaside.

At this time, Ah Ting told Ah Xiang and Ah Dong about the meeting.

Ah Ting was tangled: "What do you think I should choose?"

Ah Dong heard this and didn't hesitate: "Of course agree to Mr. Guan! Need you ask!"

Although Ah Dong is a gangster, he hasn't studied much.

But!

He has an identity—husband, father!

His wife has been with him for a few years... and his son is already 4 years old!

After settling down, his thinking matured rapidly, and he began to feel that this triad had no future; all that building and debt collection were industries walking in the gray area.

If he could follow Mr. Guan, then there's no need to choose!

"That's right, I also think we should agree to Mr. Guan!" Another iron brother, Ah Xiang, also echoed.

Ah Ting was surprised.

In a fight, Ah Xiang puts in the most effort, and he actually has this idea too?

Ah Xiang analyzed: "I think, it's 1991 now, it won't be long before the handover, and by then, everyone in the triad won't be able to run... I don't want to emigrate either, so I think following Mr. Guan is a very good way out."

In the original plot, when Ah Dong was protecting Ah Ting (being hunted by Min Shu's hitmen), he was hacked to death, Ah Ting became even more eager to be the leader, and Ah Xiang persuaded Ah Ting to run away, but Ah Ting didn't agree, so Ah Xiang scolded Ah Ting for being power-hungry and finally said he wanted to break off the relationship.

Obviously, Ah Xiang sees reality more clearly than Ah Ting.

Being a gangster has no future!

"You both want me to follow Mr. Guan... but after following him, we might not be able to collect buildings and debts. Real estate development and listing plans will be even further out of reach."

Ah Ting looked at his two brothers.

The two brothers responded with firm eyes.

At this moment, Ah Ting fell into deep thought.

Actually, he had another way out, which was that his girlfriend's father was a rich man. But if he chose this way out, he would be choosing the path of a son-in-law, being pointed at, and being suppressed by his father, which was unacceptable to Ah Ting.

10 minutes later,

He called Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "Brother Zu, I'm with you!"

……

……

On the other side,

In the bar office.

Zi Jian was talking with Sister-in-law Ai Lian (Huo Bao Ming's wife) about how to deal with Ah Ting.

"Latest news, more than a dozen uncles all voted to support Ah Ting."

"Those damn old guys, each one is happy after being coaxed by Ah Ting with money; I'm afraid our chance is gone."

Zi Jian cursed.

Sister-in-law Ai Lian said coldly: "Just kill him, then no one will compete with you."

Ah Ting killed her husband Huo Bao Ming, so she naturally hated Ah Ting to the bone.

Zi Jian heard this and cursed directly: "Kill him, then everyone will definitely suspect me; can I be the leader? By then, all the bosses will have run away; how can I help them collect debts? How can my subordinates survive?"

Sister-in-law Ai Lian: "It's precisely because everyone thinks so that they won't suspect you."

Zi Jian sneered: "Sister-in-law, don't think I'm easy to fool just because I haven't studied; you just want to avenge the boss and then let me take the blame."

Sister-in-law Ai Lian scolded: "You damn thing, you still remember he was your boss? You don't want to avenge him at all?"

Zi Jian sneered: "Alive, I call him big brother; dead, he's nothing."

Now Zi Jian has strong soldiers and horses, masters financial and military power, and doesn't look down on Sister-in-law Ai Lian at all.

He forced Sister-in-law Ai Lian and pointed at her and scolded:

"Behave yourself, I'll call you sister-in-law; if you don't behave, I'll kill you!"

After saying this,

Zi Jian turned and left.

Sister-in-law Ai Lian's face was uncertain, and finally, she made a call to Min Shu.

……

……

On Min Shu's side,

He was playing mahjong with a group of triad elders.

One of the uncles: "These punks, the times have really changed; if we really let them change the dynasty, will we still have a foothold?"

Another uncle: "That's right, crazy, hahaha~~~"

Min Shu laughed easily: "Those little kids don't have enough heat; let them kill each other, and we'll clean up and occupy their assets... we'll just treat it as collecting rent once every three years."

All uncles: "Well said, hahaha~~~"

……

Every triad faces the same contradiction.

The old don't want to retire.

The new want to get to the top.

Chang Yi and Hong Le are like this, He Lian Sheng is like this, and Heng Ji is like this...

To see, it depends on whose means are more ruthless.

Chang Yi and Hong Le were won by the older generation.

The result of Heng Ji will be...?

……

……

Soon,

The hitmen sent by Min Shu made their move.

A van saw Ah Ting, Ah Xiang, and Ah Dong alone.

Late at night, no one around.

Only occasionally one or two cars passed by.

Brake———

The van suddenly appeared in front of Ah Ting, Ah Xiang, and Ah Dong, and the door opened...

"Whoosh~~~~"

More than a dozen men in masks rushed out from inside, holding machetes, and rushed toward Ah Ting, Ah Xiang, and Ah Dong.

Ah Ting was not only not panicked but showed a sneer.

We've been waiting for you!

"Whoosh~~~~"

A group of subordinates rushed out from all directions and surrounded the van men.

Ah Ting waved his hand:

"Kill!!"
