On a street bustling with traffic.
A sedan, moving slowly.
The Tai Zi sat in the back seat, his resentment still lingering.
This day was so humiliating!
Especially losing face on his own turf.
This score, he would settle with Lu Yan sooner or later.
He wouldn't be a man until Lu Yan was dead.
However, for now, killing Lu Yan required a long-term plan.
Tai Zi was well aware of how difficult it was to kill an inner family expert.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, an explosion sounded.
The sedan jolted twice.
“Big Brother, a flat tire…”
The driver, his younger brother, turned to look at Tai Zi, then opened the door to get out.
“A flat tire?”
Tai Zi was even more annoyed.
This was so unlucky.
“Won’t there be a traffic jam?”
Tai Zi looked ahead, noticing the vehicles slowing down.
“Big Brother, we forgot to bring the spare tire.”
The driver shouted.
“Damn!”
Tai Zi cursed in annoyance, then got out of the car to buy a bottle of water to quench his thirst.
“Big Brother, be careful!”
Suddenly, the driver yelled.
“Hmm?”
Tai Zi instantly looked up, just in time to see a flowerpot falling from above.
“Close call!”
Tai Zi immediately took two steps back.
“Bang!”
The flowerpot shattered, scattering soil everywhere.
If it had hit him, Tai Zi would have surely died.
“Hmm?”
Tai Zi was about to step back again, but discovered his back foot was in the air.
He had stepped onto a sewer manhole.
“Big Brother, move quickly!”
The driver yelled in panic once more.
Tai Zi subconsciously looked up, only to see a cleaver falling from the sky.
“No!”
Tai Zi screamed in terror.
At that moment, Tai Zi’s back foot was off the ground, his body involuntarily tilting back, as the cleaver was about to land on his forehead.
Tai Zi instinctively tilted his head to the side, the sharp blade grazed his face, severing his ear.
Blood seeped out, horrifyingly.
“Big Brother!”
The driver rushed over, grabbed Tai Zi’s collar, preventing him from falling into the sewer.
“Bang!”
A television set fell from the sky, smashing heavily onto the driver's head, then hitting Tai Zi’s face.
Blood splattered everywhere!
“Ah!”
A wave of fear erupted from the crowd.
The timid ones turned away, unable to bear the sight.
It was so brutal!
Tai Zi and the driver died instantly!
“Call an ambulance quickly!”
Someone instinctively yelled.
However.
The road was blocked at this point, even if an ambulance came, it wouldn’t be able to reach them.
…
Yanlong Auto Repair Shop.
Office.
Lu Yan was reviewing the week’s accounts, quite focused.
Everything was going smoothly.
This was the outcome Lu Yan wanted.
Yanlong Auto Repair Shop now had over 150 members, 40 of whom were high-level members.
Lu Yan knew these were wealthy individuals with intricate personal connections, but he didn’t need to use them yet.
Next, Lu Yan planned to expand his security company.
It was only natural for wealthy people to hire bodyguards.
As for how to win them over, it would take some cleverness.
Security wasn’t about just claiming to be safe; it needed to have visible strength that truly inspired confidence.
“Yan Ge, look at the news!”
Song Xiao Hui pushed the door open and entered.
“Hmm?”
Lu Yan looked at Song Xiao Hui in confusion.
Song Xiao Hui didn’t explain much, but turned on the TV, which was broadcasting a breaking news bulletin.
The news was simple.
Tai Zi was dead.
As for the reason.
A couple upstairs was having an argument, and they started throwing things out the window, typical high-rise object throwing.
Unluckily, Tai Zi was hit and eventually killed by a television set, along with his driver.
“So powerful?”
Lu Yan was quite surprised, the effects of the bad luck card were simply amazing.
“Yan Ge, will the Hong Xing gang blame us for this?”
Song Xiao Hui asked worriedly.
“That’s not something you need to concern yourself with.”
Lu Yan said calmly.
Song Xiao Hui nodded, then changed the subject, “I found out that most of the triad members who came today were instigated by Liang Kun.”
“Liang Kun?”
Lu Yan gave a cold smile, “Don’t mind him for now, he won’t last long.”
For Lu Yan, the priority was to sell those refurbished appliances in the Panda mainland.
Most importantly.
With Tai Zi dead, Liang Kun wouldn’t have time for other things, at least he wouldn’t be focusing on Lu Yan, but would inevitably be busy pushing for power within the Hong Xing.
Liang Kun had immense ambition—
To become the head of the Hong Xing!
Not content with just a district leader position.
“Alright.”
Song Xiao Hui wouldn’t ask any more questions, and changed the topic again, “I’ve settled the matter with the Kowloon City Wharf, it’s under Yan Ge’s control now.”
“Oh?”
Lu Yan was pleasantly surprised, he looked at Song Xiao Hui and said with appreciation, “Seems like I underestimated your abilities, I thought it would take a few more days.”
“It’s just that they give Yan Ge face.”
Song Xiao Hui didn’t brag.
“What reward do you want?”
Lu Yan said seriously.
There should be a reward for merit.
There should be punishment for wrongdoing.
“Let me think.”
Song Xiao Hui looked up at the ceiling, thought for a moment, then said, “Can I ask Yan Ge out for dinner?”
“Dinner?”
Lu Yan didn’t expect Song Xiao Hui to ask for such a reward.
“Is this reward excessive?”
Song Xiao Hui said softly.
“Not excessive.”
Lu Yan glanced at the time, it was already past work hours, “Okay, you choose the time.”
“Then now, I’ll go make a reservation first.”
Saying that, Song Xiao Hui quickly left.
Lu Yan stood up, stretching.
“Hong Xing?”
He knew that Tai Zi’s death wouldn’t end there.
With Tai Zi gone, this Tsim Sha Tsui territory would face another round of bloodshed.
After all, it was a lucrative place, everyone wanted a piece of the action, especially the Hong Xing districts, all eager to get involved.
And the Eastern Star, the Wo Shing Wo, the Loyal Qing, these other wolves and tigers were also eyeing this piece of fat, waiting for their opportunity, including the Big Boss.
Let them fight first.
Among them, the Wo Shing Wo had been wanting to break into Tsim Sha Tsui for a long time.
Lu Yan planned to sit back and watch the chaos.
Once he was done with the Shenzhen matters, these societies should be worn down from fighting, then he could take advantage of the situation.
About half an hour later.
Song Xiao Hui walked out of her room.
“This is too much, right?”
Lu Yan couldn’t help but smile when he saw Song Xiao Hui.
Song Xiao Hui had not only showered, but also applied light makeup, wearing a black evening gown, elegant and sophisticated, looking incredibly glamorous and grand.
Her gown, clearly brand new, probably bought recently.
“Too much?”
Song Xiao Hui adjusted her sapphire and platinum earrings, her gaze always on Lu Yan’s face. Seeing the surprise on Lu Yan’s face, she felt secretly pleased.
“A bit.”
Lu Yan nodded, “Let’s go.”
“Mm.”
Song Xiao Hui hesitated for a moment, quickly stepped forward, naturally slipping her arm around Lu Yan’s, like they were actually attending a grand event.
Thankfully, everyone was off work, back in their rooms, unable to see this scene.
Otherwise, Song Xiao Hui wouldn’t dare do this.
