“Ah? A... a gun?”
“Uncle Mei, this...”
Wei Ji Xiang was stunned when he saw the gun Uncle Mei placed in front of him.
They, these low-level gangsters, didn't mind using knives to chop people, but if they used guns, it would be a big deal if things got exposed. The Wo Shing Wo wouldn't let him off easily.
“Don't worry, I’ve already spoken to Fat Deng. This young punk, Lan Chai Dong, is arrogant and doesn’t even care about Fat Deng and the Wo Shing Wo. It’s just that this kid is Old Ghost Tong’s subordinate, and they’re not comfortable moving against him. If you hang Lan Chai Dong, they’ll be overjoyed. Moreover, Uncle Mei has some face. I can definitely save you.”
Uncle Mei assured him with a confident pat on his chest.
As long as Gou Jai Xiang hung Lan Chai Dong, they’d immediately announce that Gou Jai Xiang wasn’t part of their Hong Tai, and that the gun attack on Lan Chai Dong was a personal grudge. Didn’t Lan Chai Dong start a fight with their Hong Tai for his cousin?
Then Gou Jai Xiang just shot Lan Chai Dong dead for his cousin!
Hmm... This excuse is quite reasonable.
“Alright, stop thinking too much. Go back and get ready. I’ll personally celebrate your success in two days.”
Seeing Wei Ji Xiang hesitate, Uncle Mei didn’t give him a chance to speak, stuffed the gun on the table into his arms, and then let him leave.

“What? The Wo Shing Wo’s Lan Chai Dong took over Hong Tai’s territory? Old Ghost Lu is dead? When did this happen?”
In Mong Kok’s Potland Street, in Hong Xing’s Thirteen Sister’s territory, Thirteen Sister had just woken up when she heard the news brought by her subordinate. Her sleepiness instantly vanished.
“Last night. I heard a few days ago, Old Ghost Lu’s subordinate wanted to chop Lan Chai Dong’s cousin in Temple Street. While he didn’t succeed, he beat up Lan Chai Dong’s cousin. Last night, Hong Tai’s prince and Lan Chai Dong’s cousin fought over a woman in Old Ghost Lu’s territory. The Hong Tai prince beat him badly, and he’s now in the hospital. Lan Chai Dong was furious and first captured the Hong Tai prince, then led his men to fight with Old Ghost Lu. The result...”
The subordinate said.
“Damn it, Lan Chai Dong is so quick!”
Thirteen Sister listened to the subordinate’s words and felt regret and loss. If she knew that Lan Chai Dong would fight with Hong Tai last night, she could have gotten involved and gotten her hands on one or two streets.
But it was too late to say anything now. Old Ghost Lu’s territory was already occupied by Lan Chai Dong. If she really wanted to fight with Lan Chai Dong, she wasn’t confident. After all, Lan Chai Dong’s record of chopping down two streets with dozens of men was there. In one night, he swept away Old Ghost Lu’s entire territory and even hung Old Ghost Lu. It would be a waste of effort to attack Lan Chai Dong now. If she had joined in last night while Lan Chai Dong was fighting with Old Ghost Lu, it would have been different to take one or two streets from Old Ghost Lu.
“It’s all because of that bastard Han Bin, who insisted on taking this old lady out drinking!”
Thinking about it, Thirteen Sister’s anger flared up...
“Ding-a-ling...”
Just as Thirteen Sister was getting angry, her phone rang.
“Hello? Mr. Jiang? Yes, I understand...”
........
“Emperor, Lan Chai Dong has hung Old Ghost Lu and gained another four streets. Should we take action?”
In Mong Kok’s Nathan Road, the Dong Xing Emperor had just woken up from his girlfriend’s bed when his subordinate rushed over.
“Slap!”
“You can do your damn thing. Why didn’t you tell me last night? What use is it now? The boss called me early in the morning and told me not to move.”
The Emperor yawned and slapped his subordinate, saying impatiently.
The boss called him this morning to tell him to stand still. You could tell by the way he spoke that the Wo Shing Wo’s Deng Bo and the cops had already spoken to his boss, Camel. If it was last night, when Lan Chai Dong was fighting with Hong Tai, they could have joined in even if they didn’t get involved in Lan Chai Dong and Hong Tai’s affairs. It would have been no problem to plant their flag in other gangs’ territory. But now, the fight is over, and the police have come out to maintain order. Taking action now is just sticking a hornet’s nest.
In some prosperous areas of Hong Kong, things are basically fixed for fifty years. Even if there’s a change, it can only be small-scale. So last night, when Lan Chai Dong was fighting with Old Ghost Lu, was the best opportunity. The cops would turn a blind eye. But it’s different during normal times. The cops won’t let them stir up trouble. Whoever makes a move, the cops will target them. The anti-triad team leader who just transferred here had recently spoken to him.
“.........”
The subordinate was aggrieved but dared not speak.
You were the one who said before you went to sleep with two hot girls last night that even if your own father was being beaten, you couldn’t be disturbed. Now you blame me for this...
........
The news of Lan Chai Dong hanging Hong Tai’s Old Ghost Lu and taking four streets spread throughout Mong Kok’s big and small gangs the next day. The big gangs’ leaders received calls from Deng Bo and the cops early in the morning. Even if they regretted their actions, it was useless. They could only call their subordinates in Mong Kok to stop making trouble. As for the smaller gangs, they were just trembling with fear, with no other reaction.
Lan Chai Dong took over four streets from Hong Tai overnight and even hung Old Ghost Lu. They couldn’t compare to his strength. What else could they think? They were grateful that Lan Chai Dong didn’t attack them!
They missed Old Ghost Tong more and more. Youngsters like Lan Chai Dong, to put it nicely, were ambitious and had a drive. To put it rudely, they were the most troublemakers. Who knew if they would set their sights on them?
But then they thought that Lan Chai Dong had been watched by the cops for a while now. He dared to make a move at this time, so it’s likely that the cops would come knocking on his door.
Thinking about it, they were relieved.
“Brother Dong is amazing. He took over four streets from Hong Tai in one night. Now, you’re officially one of our top ten outstanding youths.”
Their guesses were correct. The next day, Chen Dong had just left Old Ghost Lu’s house, where he had comforted the grieving wives, and arrived at the Prince Edward Road bar. He was just sitting down, clutching his waist, when Li Wen Bin, the anti-triad team leader, arrived with his team.
“Li sir, I can’t help it. I promised you I wouldn’t cause trouble. You see, I’ve been so well-behaved these past few days, haven’t I? But they’re treating me like dirt, spitting on me and pooping on me. If I keep putting up with it, I won’t be able to mix it up anymore. I’ll have to go home and sell salted duck eggs. My cousin is still in the hospital, fighting for his life. I just wanted to teach Old Ghost Lu a lesson, but who knew he was so frail... By the way, is there a prize for this top ten outstanding youth you mentioned?”
Seeing Li Wen Bin’s team arrive, Chen Dong immediately spoke the lines he had prepared the previous night. He complained bitterly and then blinked his big innocent eyes at Li Wen Bin, as if he really didn’t know what this so-called top ten outstanding youth was.
He never expected that the Killer Scissors’ efficiency would be so high. He had planned to use these lines to deal with Li Wen Bin when he arrived last night, but Li Wen Bin didn’t show up all night. Now he’s here. He knew it was his old colleague Wang, who worked with the Killer Scissors, who must have informed him…
