Chapter 737: 730 From Now On, the Landlord Club Belongs to Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu

One week later,

The sky over Hong Kong was gloomy, with thick clouds pressing down so heavily it was hard to breathe.

At Sima Xiang's home,

The space had been converted into a mourning hall, where Sima Xiang's funeral was being held.

Outside the hall, wreaths were lined up, and white funeral couplets fluttered in the wind, covered in words of remembrance for the deceased.

Many bosses from the Hong Kong business community, dressed in black suits, slowly walked into the hall.

Even though they did not want to be associated with Sima Xiang, they had all engaged in insider trading with him and were forced to attend, fearing retaliation from the Landlord Club.

They likely had no idea that Sima Xiang had been killed by someone hired from within the Landlord Club.

At this moment,

Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Shitong of the Landlord Club walked into the hall, accompanied by Chen Zhan, Mai Mai Shengyun, Lin Lin Rundong, and others.

With expressions of deep grief on their faces, they walked to the coffin, offered incense in turn, and then bowed deeply.

They then approached Sima Xiang's wife and Sima Nianzu, who were standing to the side:

"Sister-in-law, Nianzu, please accept my condolences."

"Sister-in-law, I hope you can stay strong!"

"A-Zu, your father was a man of great sentiment and righteousness; we are all heartbroken by his passing."

Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Shitong's words, while seemingly sorrowful, were actually hypocritical.

The other three were more sincere, as they truly respected Sima Xiang.

Sima Nianzu remained expressionless: "Thank you!"

In the crowd, Luo Luo Minsheng stood in a corner, his expression conflicted.

He looked at Sima Xiang in the coffin, then at Uncle Tong and the others, his heart struggling intensely.

Having experienced the meeting between Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu and Sima Xiang, he was certain that Uncle Xiang's death was far from simple, but his own interests prevented him from easily voicing his suspicions.

Yet, looking at Sima Nianzu's sorrow and his own gratitude toward Uncle Xiang, he could not bear it.

Suddenly, he thought of Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu; if Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu was paying attention to this matter, had he already found out...

So, would the Landlord Club be unable to survive?

If so, wouldn't it be better to defect to Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu sooner?

With this thought, Luo Luo Minsheng finally made his decision.

After the funeral ended,

The crowd gradually dispersed.

The Sima family villa became quiet again, leaving only Sima Nianzu, his mother, and the staff.

As night fell,

Luo Luo Minsheng drove back.

"Luo Luo Minsheng?"

Sima Nianzu looked coldly at Luo Luo Minsheng: "What are you doing here?!"

Seeing Sima Nianzu's attitude, Luo Luo Minsheng realized that Sima Nianzu had also sensed something.

"There is something I think you should know!"

"What is it?"

"Let's go inside to talk."

Luo Luo Minsheng went in, and the villa door closed.

In the living room, the lights were dim.

Sima Nianzu's expression was cold: "Go ahead..."

Luo Luo Minsheng took a deep breath: "I assume you, A-Zu, have also felt that Uncle Xiang's death is not simple."

Sima Nianzu snorted coldly and said nothing.

Luo Luo Minsheng said seriously: "The hospital's examination report stated that Uncle Xiang died of a myocardial infarction, fainted, hit his head, and unfortunately passed away, ruling it an accident rather than homicide. But if you think about it carefully, the death is truly suspicious. I suspect it was murder!"

Sima Nianzu: "I know all of this, but do you have evidence? If not, then forget it..."

Luo Luo Minsheng: "Sorry, I don't."

Sima Nianzu was filled with resentment: "If you don't have evidence, then you're talking nonsense."

How could he not know about these suspicious circumstances?

His father died just after entering prison; it was too fast, unreasonably fast!

Luo Luo Minsheng: "Although I don't have evidence, there is something else I want to tell you."

Sima Nianzu frowned: "Hmm?"

Luo Luo Minsheng said: "Actually, on the night the Independent Commission Against Corruption investigated, Uncle Xiang called an internal meeting of the Landlord Club. He decided that as the oldest, he would take the fall and shoulder everything, and he also said he would pass his position to Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Shitong, telling the Landlord Club to do more charity to atone for their sins in the future."

Sima Nianzu: "I know that."

Luo Luo Minsheng: "But the next night, Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu of the Five Star Group met with Uncle Xiang, and I was present."

At this, Sima Nianzu's expression changed completely.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu?

How did Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu get involved?

Luo Luo Minsheng said: "As soon as Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan spoke, he pointed out that Uncle Xiang intended to take the fall and warned him that people change, telling Uncle Xiang to be careful of the brothers around him."

Luo Luo Minsheng clenched his fists, his voice filled with regret,

"It's a pity that Uncle Xiang didn't believe him at the time, thinking Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan was trying to sow discord... Now that I think about it, every word Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan said has come true!"

Hearing this, Sima Nianzu's fists were already clenched tight.

So, there was definitely a major problem with his father's death.

In that case...

He had to pay Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan a visit.

Perhaps he knew more!

"Dad..."

"If you were truly murdered, I will definitely avenge you!"

Sima Nianzu's eyes were filled with hatred.

At Mingxin Hospital,

As the Five Star Group gradually expanded, Mingxin Hospital also grew, eventually surpassing the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals.

In the obstetrics and gynecology department,

The examination room was bright with soft lighting.

Le Le Huizhen lay flat on the examination bed with her abdomen bulging high, and Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu held her hand.

The fetus was now 8 months old, with a due date in early September.

Le Le Huizhen said distressingly: "Doctor, this little one is so naughty, moving non-stop in my belly."

Doctor Wan Wan Ansheng smiled: "That just means it will definitely be a very energetic little baby."

Wan Wan Ansheng skillfully operated the ultrasound machine, and the image of the fetus gradually appeared on the screen.

Wait...

Is the baby throwing punches?

The three of them: "????"

They stared wide-eyed at the ultrasound screen at the little baby who was constantly throwing punches.

Wan Wan Ansheng laughed: "It seems her vitality is quite strong."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu glared at Le Le Huizhen: "Looks like she takes after you."

Le Le Huizhen: "............"

Indisputable!

Wan Wan Ansheng adjusted the instrument and began to measure.

"Amniotic fluid depth is 60mm, which is excellent, within the normal range of 3 to 8 centimeters."

"Judging by the data, the fetus's size matches the gestational age, with an estimated weight of around 2000 grams and a length of about 45 centimeters. Furthermore, the fetal heartbeat is strong and regular, at 140 beats per minute; these are all signs of excellent health."

Le Le Huizhen: "Dr. Wan, with such frequent fetal movement, could there be a problem?"

Wan Wan Ansheng explained with a smile: "At 8 months of pregnancy, frequent fetal movement is normal, indicating she is healthy and responsive to external stimuli. However, as the fetus grows, the activity space becomes relatively smaller, so the movement might weaken slightly, but as long as the movement remains regular, there is no need to worry."

The examination concluded, and Wan Wan Ansheng summarized: "Overall, the fetus is developing very well, and you are doing a good job maintaining your health, Ms. Le. You should continue with regular prenatal check-ups and pay attention to rest and nutrition."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu and Le Le Huizhen: "Thank you, Dr. Wan."

The two left Mingxin Hospital and got into the black Chevrolet.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu dropped Le Le Huizhen off at home,

And his phone rang.

"Hello~~" said Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Liang Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Liang Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Liang Uncle Uncle Uncle Liang Uncle Uncle Liang Liang Xiaorou.

"Boss, a rather special person says he wants to see you. He says his name is Sima Nianzu, Sima Xiang's son."

"Sima Nianzu? Good, have him wait at the company; I'll be back in an hour."

"Understood, Boss."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu hung up the phone.

He chuckled softly.

As expected, Luo Luo Minsheng is very smart.

One hour later,

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu returned to Central Plaza, arrived at his top-floor office, and met Sima Nianzu, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan!"

Seeing Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, Sima Nianzu hurriedly stood up from the sofa in the reception room and bowed.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu looked at the Ah Zu before him and inexplicably thought of—Ah Zu, stop now!

He beckoned.

"Come to my office."

Soon,

The two sat down on the sofa in Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's office.

As soon as Sima Nianzu sat down, he couldn't wait: "Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan, I want to ask about my father's affairs."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: "I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious yet."

Then Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Liang Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Liang Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Liang Uncle Uncle Uncle Liang Uncle Uncle Liang Liang Xiaorou poured tea, and Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu took a delightful sip.

"In the last dozen years or so, the Landlord Club has relied on its strong position in the financial market to stir up quite a bit of trouble, resulting in everyone wanting to beat them up, and their reputation stinks to high heaven..."

"And I have a grand plan for '97, which absolutely does not allow for the influence of trash like the Landlord Club, so I am going to finish off the Landlord Club."

"However, even a piece of toilet paper has its use, so I want to preserve a portion of the Landlord Club's strength to help me out when the time comes... and your father is the only person in the Landlord Club who still has humanity."

Humanity?

Upon hearing this, Sima Nianzu couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Indeed, he had humanity—so much humanity that he was killed by his own brothers.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: "It's a pity your father clearly didn't believe my words, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, and instead trusted his old brothers more."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu stood up, walked to his desk, took out a file, and threw it in front of Sima Nianzu.

"This one is the interrogation record from the prison side..."

They were just a few prisoners; with a casual instruction from Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, someone would naturally help him get it done.

Sima Nianzu picked it up and began to read.

Inside was recorded the process of those five prisoners killing his father.

The more he read, the angrier he became, his eyes turning blood-red.

Finally,

The leader confessed the mastermind—Cha Kwo Ling's Ou Ou Wangui.

(Image: From "Raging Fire")

Then Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu threw another file to Sima Nianzu.

"This is information on Ou Ou Wangui, a small-time boss in a place in Cha Kwo Ling where all sorts of people mix."

"Inside this Cha Kwo Ling, there are a large number of illegal immigrants from various Asian countries, and the government has never gone in to clear it out..."

"It's very chaotic, so be careful if you go."

(Image: Cha Kwo Ling)

Sima Nianzu glanced at Ou Ou Wangui's photo, packed up the files, and said solemnly to Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: "Thank you, Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan. I will definitely repay this favor!"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: "If you need my help, I can also assist you."

Sima Nianzu: "Thank you, but I can handle it myself."

At this moment, his heart was filled with a rage that desperately needed to be vented.

"Good."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu smiled.

This Sima Nianzu is a talent; his strength and intelligence are both decent, and he will be useful in the future.

At night, the streets of Kwun Tong were dyed in the intoxicating glow of neon lights.

Ou Ou Wangui, with three of his men, was drinking in a bar until his face was flushed red.

Past 22:00,

They stumbled out of the bar and got into a car.

The car drove in the direction of Cha Kwo Ling.

The night highway was somewhat empty, and the car sped along under the dim streetlights.

Suddenly, a black sedan rushed out from a side road like a ghost, and with a "bang," it slammed heavily into Ou Ou Wangui's car.

The massive impact caused Ou Ou Wangui's car to jolt violently and flip over.

Before they could react, the door of the black sedan opened, and a person wearing a mask rushed out.

"Bang, bang, bang~~~"

A few gunshots rang out, and the three subordinates fell instantly.

Ou Ou Wangui widened his eyes in terror, wanting to resist, but was smashed on the head by the other party's gun butt and knocked unconscious.

The person quickly dragged Ou Ou Wangui out of the car, stuffed him into the black sedan, and then drove away at high speed, leaving behind only the shattered vehicle and the corpses lying in a pool of blood...

One hour later,

In a warehouse, Ou Ou Wangui was splashed awake with a basin of cold water.

What followed was a brutal interrogation...

10 minutes later,

Ou Ou Wangui's ten fingers had already been smashed to pieces, and he was a horrific sight to behold.

"I'll talk, I'll talk..."

"It was Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Shitong, it was Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Shitong who gave me 2 million!"

"Just give me a quick death!"

Bang~~~

One shot, his head blown open.

Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Shitong's villa,

The study light was on.

After becoming the chairman of the Landlord Club, Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Shitong held great power; every day he was immersed in the excitement of handling various affairs, as if he had returned to his younger days.

Power is a man's best stimulant!

23:00,

He was finally tired, rubbed his sore shoulders, finished his whiskey in one gulp, and prepared to go to sleep.

While passing through the living room downstairs,

Tap, tap, tap~~~

A strange rhythm of footsteps came from behind, without any attempt at concealment.

"Who's there!"

Startled, he hurriedly turned around to look in the direction the sound came from.

He saw Sima Nianzu walking out of the shadows.

Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Shitong forced himself to stand straight and squeezed out a smile: "Ah Zu? What brings you to my house so late?"

"Why did you kill my father?" Sima Nianzu looked at Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Shitong with fury.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't Brother Xiang die in an accident?" Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Shitong feigned shock.

"Ou Ou Wangui... you should know this person, right?"

Sima Nianzu sneered.

Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Shitong: "............"

He didn't expect Sima Nianzu to have actually investigated this far.

Why?

He had clearly done it flawlessly!

Ou Ou Wangui, you piece of trash!

(Ou Ou Wangui: I've already become trash~~ idol!)

"He went to jail for you, and you actually had him killed," Sima Nianzu roared with ferocious anger.

At this moment,

Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Shitong looked at the gun in Sima Nianzu's hand, sweating profusely.

Am I going to die here?

No,

The servants!

I still have servants; as long as I stall for time and wait for the servants to call the police, I will have a chance to survive.

I must stall for time!

Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Shitong: "You must have made a mistake, or someone is framing me. I don't even know any Ou Ou Wangui..."

"Refusing to admit it, are you!"

Sima Nianzu fired a shot directly into Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Shitong's leg.

"Ah~~~~"

Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Shitong screamed, trembling as he covered his wound: "I didn't~~~"

Next,

Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Shitong was subjected to a bout of venting torture by Sima Nianzu.

At this moment, Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Shitong also realized something; he suddenly discovered that the living room was terrifyingly quiet—the servants who should have come running at the sound were completely silent.

He realized that the servants had likely already been dealt with by Sima Nianzu.

At this moment,

he fell into despair.

He stopped pretending!

"There is a ledger!" Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Shitong cursed angrily, "Before your father went to prison, he held a huge stack of documents and insisted that I turn against those wealthy tycoons, forcing us to help those crappy companies and some stupid charity fund. He was simply muddled. Engaging in public welfare at his age. He thought he was so great; if he hadn't died, who knows how many people he would have harmed!"

Upon hearing this, Sima Nianzu became even more furious: "Do you know that before he went to prison, he burned all the transaction records just to avoid implicating you all? But what about you? As soon as he went to prison, you hired a killer! He treated you like a brother and groomed you to be his successor, yet you wanted to kill him!"

Sima Nianzu violently grabbed Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Shitong's tie and pinned him against the wall.

Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Shitong retorted: "What was the use of burning the ledger? How did I know when he might change his mind and betray us..."

How could a selfish person like him ever think he was in the wrong?

Sima Nianzu looked at Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Shitong's arguing and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

"Heh heh~~ Hahaha~~~~"

He laughed.

He laughed at the fact that the brother his father had trusted had such a disgusting face.

Then, with a ferocious expression, he pressed the gun against Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Shitong's head.

Bang~~~

Headshot.

Outside the door,

in a black car.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu and Luo Luo Minsheng watched as Sima Nianzu drove away.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu said to Luo Luo Minsheng: "Next, the Independent Commission Against Corruption will enter the scene... I will help you protect a portion of the Landlord Club's financiers... In '96 and '97, you will act as a turncoat and cooperate with foreign hot money!"

Luo Luo Minsheng felt his hands and feet go cold, not daring to disobey: "Yes! Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan!"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: "Don't be afraid~~~ Call me Brother Zu, and I will guarantee you a lifetime of wealth!"

Luo Luo Minsheng's eyes immediately lit up: "Yes, Brother Zu!"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu smiled.

From now on,

the Landlord Club is just a dog under Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's command!
