“You.. you.... *Pfft*!”
The Crown Prince trembled, pointing at the vulgar face, his blood surged instantly, and his pale face turned red, eventually, his heart was overwhelmed with anger and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled back as he collapsed onto the ground.
“Youngsters are just youngsters, they can't even withstand a little hardship, they're far inferior to the old timers.”
Chen Dong looked at the Crown Prince lying on the ground with disdain, his lips curling into a sneer.
......
“What? Two million?! You think that punk Dong has the life to spend it?”
Deep Water Bay, inside Mei Shu's grand villa.
Mei Shu almost smashed the phone when he heard Gao Jin's words.
However, considering his son was in the other man's hands, Mei Shu managed to hold back.
“Whether he has the life to spend it is none of your business, Mei Shu. Our boss said, eight o'clock tonight, or else. No more extensions.”
Gao Jin ignored the furious Mei Shu and hung up the phone directly.
“*Bang*!”
“This damn bastard.....”
Hearing the other side hang up, Mei Shu slammed his hand on the table in anger.
That was two million, real money, not leaves. That punk Dong just casually asked for two million.
“Grandpa, when will Dad come back?”
At this time, a three or four-year-old child ran to Mei Shu, who was at his wits' end.
“Ah Ren, be good, your Dad will be back tonight.”
Seeing his grandson, Mei Shu turned back into a kind old man, hugging his grandson and speaking in a gentle tone.
For the sake of that punk still being useful enough to give him a grandson.....
“Ah Tai, prepare two million.”
..........
“Big D, what brings you here? You should be thinking about how to get Deng Bo on your side, right? The vote is coming up in two days.”
Seven thirty in the evening, You’ve Got Guts Restaurant, booked by Chen Dong for the night.
Inside the private room, Chen Dong spoke to the smiling Big D who was sitting beside him, a touch of annoyance in his voice.
Tonight was his big payday. Booking the whole restaurant was a bit expensive, but he'd put up with it considering Mei Shu's two million and the five million bribe he'd gotten from the Crown Prince earlier today.
But just as he brought his people in, Big D, who always fished without a helmet, followed in with his right-hand man, Long Mao. If you didn't know his background, you'd think he was just there for a free meal.
“Heard you're settling things with old man Mei tonight, I came here to lend you a hand. How's that, buddy?”
Big D patted his chest, acting like a loyal and righteous brother.
“Need you say it? Everyone in Hong Kong and the New Territories knows you're a loyal and righteous man, a man of great character, a man who goes beyond the call of duty, the fearless volunteer for... Cough cough, just that you’re so busy and still came to lend your support to your little brother, are you sure you’re alright?”
Chen Dong started spouting off all the adjectives he could think of. Just when Big D was feeling smug, he couldn't think of any more idioms and quickly changed the subject.
“Nothing! That old stick in the mud Deng is stubborn as hell.”
“Long Mao, go stand guard outside.”
Big D replied nonchalantly, then motioned for Long Mao to leave.
“Big D, just say what you have to say. We’re good brothers.”
Seeing Big D seemed to have some confidential... pah! words to say, he motioned for Gao Jin and Ah Bao to leave and said.
“Ah Dong... if, I mean if, if I were to establish a new Wo Shing Wo, would you support me?”
Even though they were alone in the private room, Big D spoke cautiously, afraid that someone was eavesdropping.
“Big D, don’t play with me, that's a recipe for disaster. I barely manage my own little patch, even Selling Fish Biu wouldn't be able to handle it. How could you have such a... cough, such an outrageous idea?”
Chen Dong was speechless, looking at this situation, it was clear that Deng Bo hadn’t gone according to plan, instead, it was Deng Bo who had gotten the better of him, and now he was feeling resentful and had this crazy idea.
Found a new Wo Shing Wo?
He didn’t even know how strong Wo Shing Wo was.
They had branches all over Hong Kong and the New Territories.
In all of Hong Kong, only Hung Hing, Tung Sing and 14K could fight Wo Shing Wo on equal footing. Although the Number Gang was also a large gang, it had too many internal factions, each operating independently, it was like a scattered sand.
Big D's strength, while considered the strongest in Wo Shing Wo, was limited to just Tsuen Wan. To go against the entire society with just Tsuen Wan, this guy was using a water tank for his courage!
Moreover, the consequences of betraying the society were far more severe than being caught having an affair with your brother's wife, it was far worse than being subjected to the three strikes and six stabs. Big D dared to do this, he had to be prepared to be hit by the whole society.
What a good brother, he’s going to do this, he’s going to drag me down with him.
“*Slap*!”
“It’s not about two years or not. It's just that I'm not happy. In the past few elections, I wanted to run, but those old geezers either said I was too weak or that I lacked experience. Now, I have the strength and the experience, and I’ve spent so much money, if I can’t get elected, how will my bosses look at me?”
Chen Dong didn't say anything, but the moment he brought this up, Big D immediately slammed his hand on the table and said angrily.
“You're kidding me, Big D. You're the best, much better than Ah Lo. But… even if Deng Bo supports Ah Lo, you don’t need to do this, right? The chairman's term is only two years, if you fail this time, you can run next time. It's only two years, it will be over soon. You’re so powerful, would Ah Lo dare to touch you after he’s in power? He doesn’t have the power anyway!”
Chen Dong twitched his eye. This table cost thousands, and this guy just slapped it like that, who’s going to pay for it when it’s broken… Chen Dong’s wallet or Big D’s? …
Now Big D looked like he was competing for a girlfriend and lost to Ah Lo, he could only go with the flow to avoid this guy from dismantling You’ve Got Guts, he couldn't afford that.
“Brother, it’s not about two years or not. I just can’t swallow this. I’m not happy. In the past few elections, I wanted to run, but those old geezers either said I was too weak or that I lacked experience. Now, I have the strength and the experience, and I’ve spent so much money, if I can’t get elected, how will my bosses look at me?”
“I’m just frustrated, you know? I’m frustrated!”
Seeing Chen Dong didn't understand his feelings, he explained himself.
“..... Didn’t you give those old geezers money? Even if Deng Bo supports Ah Lo, you can just give them a little more, make them bite the bullet, no matter what Deng Bo says, they have to vote for you. As long as you control enough votes, you have a chance, right?”
“But I want to state clearly, my boss, Tong Shu, is Deng Bo’s man, I have to listen to him. However, my heart will always be with you!”
Seeing Big D looking heartbroken, Chen Dong couldn't take it anymore and could only give him some advice, but he also had to remind Big D to avoid him coming in with Long Mao carrying a suitcase full of money and slapping him in the face, making it difficult for him.
“You... you wouldn’t tell Deng Bo about this today, would you?”
Big D suddenly came to his senses, he stared at him with a fierce expression.
Right!
This punk was Deng Bo's man, was he crazy today? Why was he talking about this with this guy?
