Chapter 27
Breaking the Stalemate, Turning the Tide

“That’s right.”

Since Thirteen Sister had already made it clear, Chen Yao naturally wouldn't hide it.

“I won’t…”

Having received the answer she wanted, Thirteen Sister was about to refuse, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by Chen Yao.

“Thirteen Sister, don’t be so quick to refuse, hold on a moment while I tell you the conditions Mr. Jiang gave you.” Chen Yao waved his hand to interrupt Thirteen Sister.

“Alright, you tell me.”

Thirteen Sister nodded.

Considering their years of connection, Thirteen Sister decided to wait for Chen Yao to speak.

“Mr. Jiang said that if you’re willing to help him, once he takes control of Hong Xing, he will declare war on the United Society, helping you avenge your father’s death.” Chen Yao said, observing Thirteen Sister's expression as he spoke.

When Chen Yao mentioned ‘avenging your father’s death’, Thirteen Sister’s face instantly turned pale.

It could be said that avenging her father’s death had always been a nightmare that haunted Thirteen Sister’s heart.

“Did Mr. Jiang really say that?”

Thirteen Sister steadied her mind, looking seriously at Chen Yao.

“Yes.”

Chen Yao nodded, continuing, “Not only that, Mr. Jiang also said that after taking over the United Society’s territory on Pottinger Street, he will put you in charge of it all.”

Pottinger Street was just a single street, but it housed over three hundred brothels, all concentrated on this one street.

Almost every influential triad in Hong Kong had a presence here.

Some had several venues, while others had two or three.

The United Society, while not a major triad, had twenty-plus venues on Pottinger Street.

Thirteen Sister already had fifty-plus venues on Pottinger Street, and adding these twenty-plus would almost double her strength.

“I need to think about it.”

Thirteen Sister took a deep breath, her expression grave as she spoke.

Honestly, this condition really tempted Thirteen Sister.

Not only could she avenge her father, but she could also expand her territory.

If it weren’t for her years of friendship with Han Bin, she would have definitely agreed immediately.

“Okay, no problem, I can give you time.” Chen Yao nodded, then added, “However, I need to say this in advance, these two conditions are what Mr. Jiang is offering you now.

If things change later on, the conditions might not be as good, so grasp this opportunity well.”

After saying this, Chen Yao got up and left.

He had said everything he needed to say, there was no point in saying anything else. Whether the other party would agree or not, Chen Yao didn’t know, but he estimated that it would probably be a yes.

“Mr. Jiang.”

Inside the villa, Luo Bing Wen stood nervously before Jiang Tian Zheng.

“From now on, you’re following me. No need to be so tense.” Jiang Tian Zheng looked at Luo Bing Wen with a gentle expression.

“Yes, Mr. Jiang.”

Luo Bing Wen nodded.

“Ah Bing, can I trust you?” Jiang Tian Zheng suddenly looked at Luo Bing Wen seriously.

“Mr. Jiang, from this moment on, Luo Bing Wen’s life is yours.” Luo Bing Wen hurriedly said.

“Good.”

Jiang Tian Zheng nodded, then said, “Next, I will arrange for you to join the Tuen Mun branch. What you need to do is gain Kong Long’s trust, improve your standing in Tuen Mun…”

Jiang Tian Zheng instructed Luo Bing Wen.

When Luo Bing Wen had gained Kong Long’s trust, it would be the time for Kong Long to die.

“Yes, Mr. Jiang, I will not let you down.” Luo Bing Wen said seriously.

“Remember, don’t tell anyone about this.”

Jiang Tian Zheng said seriously.

“Yes.”

After Luo Bing Wen left, Jiang Tian Zheng felt a sense of relief.

With this pawn in place, gaining complete control of Tuen Mun was not far off.

“Mr. Jiang, I’m back.”

Not long after Luo Bing Wen left, Chen Yao arrived.

“What did Thirteen Sister say?”

Jiang Tian Zheng looked at Chen Yao and asked.

“Thirteen Sister said she needs to think about it.” Chen Yao reported, “But I already told her that the conditions are like this now, maybe tomorrow they’ll be different.”

“I reckon, in less than ten minutes, Thirteen Sister’s call will come in.” Chen Yao said, glancing at the time.

“If we can get Thirteen Sister on our side, things will be much easier.” Jiang Tian Zheng nodded.

As Jiang Tian Zheng and Chen Yao chatted, time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, five minutes passed.

Suddenly, Chen Yao's pager that was lying on the side rang.

“Here it comes.”

A smile appeared on Chen Yao’s face, and he answered the phone: “Hello?”

“Yao Ge, I’ve agreed.”

On the other side, Thirteen Sister had never left, she was still sitting at her stall, lost in thought.

In her memory, her father, Blowhard Da, loved to boast, but he was genuinely good to her.

Even when they were broke, he would often take her out to eat good food.

“Han Bin, I’m sorry…” Finally, Thirteen Sister made her decision, and she called Jiang Tian Zheng.

When she hung up the phone, a wry smile flashed across Thirteen Sister’s face.

Since she had made her decision, she wouldn’t regret it.

However, as Mr. Jiang had said, she wouldn’t reveal her change of allegiance to the outside world for now, waiting for the opportune moment to make her move.

“Ah Yao, give this five million to Ji Ge and tell him to be smart.” After securing Thirteen Sister, Jiang Tian Zheng also looked relieved.

Next, all that was left was to buy Ji Ge, and his position within the triad would be as solid as a rock.

He would then be able to slowly free up his hands to deal with those who opposed him.

Jiang Tian Zheng believed that Ji Ge was a smart man. After he saw the situation clearly and accepted his money, things would be almost a sure win.

“Tell Hao Zi to work hard.”

This time, he would leave the Macau matter to Hao Zi. Both Leung Kun and Han Bin would go all out to help him.

Little did they know, Hao Zi was actually their man.

“Yes, Mr. Jiang.”

Chen Yao nodded in response.

“By the way, go and investigate, did the 14K’s Spotted Leopard from Macau arrive yet?” Jiang Tian Zheng suddenly remembered and instructed Chen Yao.

He should have arrived by now. Macau wasn’t that far from Hong Kong, the other party should have arrived already.
