Chapter 327
Chai Shu pointed at Ma Wang with his finger and continued: "With your current mindset, even if you entered the gates of Hongfa Mountain, you wouldn't last a few days. Don't you know what temper A Xin has?"
If you deal with him with a transactional mindset, he could sell you out at any time.
As for ways to die, you can recall which ones!
If it weren't to let Ma Wang take over, Chai Shu wouldn't say these things—it's just wasting breath!
Ma Wang suddenly lifted his head, uncertainly asking: "Chief, are you stepping down?"
Chai Shu nodded: "Not too stupid; the brothers of Yi Hai all say I'm clinging to power, so I'll take the initiative—don't wait for them to ask me to step down, that would be ugly!"
You say, isn't that right?
Who dares?
Ma Wang suddenly stood up, excitedly saying: "Chief, rest assured, the profitable areas of Yi Hai are in our hands; whoever acts recklessly, we'll wipe them out."
Yi Hai's current status is all thanks to you Chiefs; without the Yi Hai sign, they'd be eating shit—no, they wouldn't even get to eat shit.
I know the internal noise of the gang; I know who did this, and I and Red Sister already have leads; when the chance comes, we'll take care of them to vent your anger, Chief.
Now the monitoring rights of the Mong Kok Mahjong Hall are held by Fei Lin; I have Jordan; Red Sister has Line: Bolanjie; Yuanbao has Yau Ma Tei; don't mention stepping down anymore—no one can replace your position.
Chai Shu laughed, looking very happy: "Ma Wang, do you know why I'm telling you all this?"
I know, but I can't hold up Yi Hai; its expansion is too fast now, I don't have the ability to take over the Chief's position.
If I step down, could I go to Hongfa Mountain and become a senior elder of the Punishment Hall?
Chai Shu said with a smile.
Ma Wang widened his eyes, somewhat glumly asking: "In other words, can Xin Ge accept you, the Chief, entering Hongfa Mountain, but not Yi Hai?"
Exactly! A Xin dislikes the trouble of Yi Hai; we old-timers can go to Hongfa Mountain to retire, but you cannot.
After Chai Shu finished speaking, he himself laughed, somewhat proudly saying: "A Xin has left us a position; how Yi Hai goes from now on is up to you; I'll just take the signboard with me."
Ma Wang slowly sat in the chair, pulling his hair, asking: "Chief, can I follow you? Letting go of Jordan is fine!"
Impossible; if you clean up Yi Hai well, I can say a few good words to let Yi Hai join Hongfa Mountain as a subordinate; how to do it is your choice, I won't force it.
After Chai Shu finished saying these words, he waved his hand directly: "You may leave; before the meeting starts, you still have room to choose."
……
That day, at the conference site, three of the Yi Hai Ten Heroes died; the attackers were Chai Shu's former bodyguard Fei Lin, Red Sister, chief of the Line: Bolanjie hall, Ma Wang, chief of the Jordan hall, and Yuanbao, chief of the Yau Ma Tei hall.
The dead were the Mong Kok hall chief Daoyou Hui, the Kowloon City hall chief Tuhuo Ming, and the Sham Shui Po hall chief Xian Shi Liang.
After the conference ended, Ma Wang became the new Chief of Yi Hai; Fei Lin led the Punishment Hall forces to clear out the three halls' bases, directly letting Ma Wang take personal control of the halls.
Ma Wang directly controlled the four halls of Yi Hai, with Red Sister and Yuanbao backing him up, becoming the de facto Chief of Yi Hai.
Fei Lin, due to infighting among fellow disciples, stabbed himself three times in the Yi Hai Punishment Hall, quit Yi Hai, and handed over the monitoring rights of the mahjong hall.
Xi Gong Red Xin Hospital.
This was Huahua's doing; she directly bought a hospital and hired many good doctors with generous pay.
After more than half a year of development, it can now undertake most medical surgeries.
Huahua walked side by side with Li Xin, laughing: "A Xin, you don't need to worry; Fei Lin's minor injury won't cause any problems in our hospital."
Li Xin put his arm around Huahua's shoulder, smiling and replying: "It's not that I'm worried about the hospital's skill; I just want to see Fei Lin—this silly kid is loyal!"
"It's rare to have someone who, instead of being a good little boss, takes the blame for Ma Wang and follows Chai Shu into retirement!"
Huahua laughed and said: "That's indeed beyond discussion; Fei Lin's loyalty is sufficient."
"What people in the jianghu are like, we've all experienced firsthand; someone like Fei Lin is truly rare, a rare find!"
Li Xin laughed and said: "That's why I had to come see him; this kid has some hot blood."
"Not talking about others, just speaking of those around us: the Crown Prince has someone flighty beside him, I have someone named Tianhong beside me; can you pick out anyone else?"
"Those few close attendants of Brother Tai, who don't draw life-and-death lots—if you want them to voluntarily take the blame, who could do that?"
"When you're out in the jianghu, everyone damn well cares about the return ratio; for something with no benefit, no fool would voluntarily do it."
Chai Shu brought several elderly Yi Hai members, guarding outside the ward; seeing Li Xin arrive, Chai Shu opened his mouth to ask.
"A Xin, how did you come over?"
Li Xin let go of Huahua, smiling and replying: "Chai Shu, Fei Lin can lay down his life for you; he is the red pole of Hongfa Mountain, and from now on he'll obey your commands in the Punishment Hall."
"There aren't many such fools; I like that kind—come take a look at him."
Gen Shu laughed and said: "A Xin, Fei Lin did it himself; it's just giving Yi Hai an explanation, nothing major."
Chai Shu interjected: "I advised Fei Lin that after this matter ends, he at least will be a hall chief; but this fool says only he can do this, no one else is qualified!"
"He's doing this to earn face for this old bone of mine, to let others know that even if I step down, someone will still lay down his life for me!"
Li Xin saw Chai Shu looking somewhat sorrowful and consoled: "Chai Shu, you have Fei Lin; I have Tianhong; I understand your feelings."
"If one day I encounter difficulties, Tianhong could do the same, so I regard Tianhong as a brother."
"Among brothers, there's no need to quibble too much; if you quibble over these trifles, it means you don't regard Fei Lin as one of your own, and he won't be happy."
"The Fifth Brother of the Red Flag of Hongfa Mountain—this is my acknowledgment of Fei Lin; from now on he can act under my name."
Just as Li Xin's words fell, Chai Shu brought the elders of Yi Hai, clasped fists and bowed.
"Under the Hongmen Hongfa Mountain sect, the Punishment Hall has paid respects to the Mountain Chief."
Li Xin laughed while helping everyone up: "Hongmen is a brotherhood; once you enter the mountain gate you are brothers; fathers and sons may be on different mountains, but brothers can enter the gate; coming to Hongfa Mountain makes you brothers; too much ceremony makes you seem distant."
"Moreover, you are seniors; being able to settle in Hongfa Mountain adds glory to me—don't let me lose longevity!"
After the greeting rites were completed, Chai Shu then said: "Mountain Chief, entering the mountain gate, observing the rules—this is the tradition of the older generation."
Li Xin extended his arm forward, cutting off Chai Shu's words: "Chai Shu, you're here to help me, not to be restrained!"
"From me onward, Hongfa Mountain speaks of brotherly love, not of etiquette and hierarchy."
"I, A Xin, since entering the jianghu, will never forget my roots."
Gen Shu took the lead and said: "Mountain Chief, you are magnanimous; we also must not forget our duty; though we won't say we'll add bricks and tiles, we also cannot tear down the stage."
"I have seen the Mountain Chief of the Hongfa Mountain Criminal Hall."
"This time their tone was completely different from before!"
