Chapter 5 The Cowardly Wei Jixiang

Lanmingquan called out "Brother Ze" first.

He originally followed Ah Ze when he was with Blue Lantern, and was later planted as an undercover agent in Hong Tai.

Aze nodded and said to Ale, "Brother Le, we've found a place, it's very safe."

Ah Le nodded and continued to tell Lan Ming everything, "Tell Ah Ze what you need. I'm counting on you this time!"

Lanming nodded, his eyes welling up with tears, deeply moved. This was a true leader, this was true brotherhood!

Compared to Brother Le, Wei Jixiang is like trash compared to gold.

Aze's underlings pushed the wheelchair-bound Lanmingquan away.

The door closed.

Ah Ze handed the document to Ah Le, who flipped through it. Ah Ze added from the side:

"Brother Le, this is Gao Qiang and Cao Dahua's information in the gang. I personally verified it."

It was confirmed that Tsao Tat-wah was an undercover cop; even the cleaners at the Yau Ma Tei Police Station knew.

But he failed every single one of his undercover missions; he was utterly useless.

Ah Le wasn't too surprised.

It's normal for gangs to have undercover agents; only stagnant or declining gangs don't have them.

Besides, he doesn't touch laundry detergent, so he's not afraid of the police.

But sending a good-for-nothing like this is a bit disrespectful.

Without changing his expression, he looked up at Aze and asked the question that concerned him most:

"What about Gao Qiang? Was he an undercover agent too?"

Aze shook his head. "It shouldn't be."

Ah Le narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to look through the information Ah Ze was checking, circling the parts of the information that interested him with a pen.

"Lei Yue Mun, a fishmonger, trained in kung fu under Chan Pak-kwong, was harassed by the Number Gang and couldn't do business, wanted to join Hung Hing but was rejected, saved the lame man from Castle Peak in Tsuen Wan and was introduced to the gang..."

When he drew the part about "having one-night stands with many housewives at the fish market,"

She couldn't help but sneer, looking at Aze, "How's Ruby doing?"

"The manager said that as soon as they brought the person in, before they could even exchange two words, Gao Qiang forced himself on her."

"He's a complete lecher, a disgrace to the underworld, worse than a beast!"

"Hahaha--"

Ah Le burst into laughter, which was quite rare. "It's understandable that martial artists have a fiery temper."

He seemed to see his younger self in him, only Gao Qiang was better at martial arts than him.

For Ah Le, having weaknesses is actually an advantage, making him easier to exploit and control.

He then asked:

"If you and Gao Qiang fought, who would win?"

"I could kill him with my bare hands, but with weapons, he wins," Aze answered honestly.

After a moment's thought, Ah Le said, "Bring Gao Qiang to the negotiations the day after tomorrow."

He wanted to find an opportunity to test and bribe Gao Qiang.

"Yes," Aze replied.

Then Ah Le waved for Ah Ze to leave.

He rested one hand on the table, rubbing his chin with his palm as he pondered.

"Have the police check Ah-Qiang's identity. If he's not an undercover agent, he's a good tool."

The money I got from Hong Tai this time will be used to win over my uncle.

Then, using Ruby as bait, they took the opportunity to wipe out Hongtai's territory in Shanghai Street.

You can also gain a loyal and capable underling, and garner some votes before running for office—killing three birds with one stone.

"Big D, what makes you think you can compete with me for the top spot?"

As he pondered this, a wicked smile crept onto Ah Le's lips.

……

Jordan.

In the villa of Chen Mei, the head of Hongtai Group.

"Damn it, are you going to talk or not!"

A henchman in a black suit was swinging a baseball bat, hitting a standing sack while asking questions.

A muffled scream came from inside the sack, and dark red blood seeped out continuously.

At a table not far away, several bigwigs in suits were leisurely eating dinner.

"Let me do it, I don't believe you won't tell."

A burly man with a tough face stood up from the table, took the baseball bat from his underling, and swung it forcefully at the sack.

He said viciously as he hit the man:

"Wei Jixiang, do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"

"That's three million! How many lifetimes will it take you to pay that back with your worthless life?"

A middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table took a deep drag on his cigar, exhaled it without taking a deep breath, and said with a hint of helplessness:

"Your Highness, his mouth is gagged. What do you mean?"

"Ah Xiang, nod if you want to explain."

The person inside the sack nodded frantically.

The prince roughly untied the sack and abruptly pulled the cloth strip out of Wei Jixiang's mouth.

Wei Jixiang, his face and clothes covered in blood, coughed twice and said weakly:

"Uncle Mei, this has nothing to do with me. I didn't arrange for the knife hitman."

Uncle Mei, the leader of Hongtai Group, sat at the main table and shook his head helplessly. He wasn't concerned about whose people the knife-wielder was, but rather who would pay the two million yuan.

"That's what I told Uncle Deng of Wo Luen Shing, and guess what Uncle Deng told me?"

"He said his worthless life was all because of you, and if it weren't for your orders, would he have dared to kill Ah Lok?"

After hearing his father Chen Mei's words, the Crown Prince's anger surged up again.

He pulled a pistol from his waist, cocked it with a click, and pointed it at Wei Jixiang's head:

"You really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"

Wei Jixiang felt wronged, cowardly, and afraid. He desperately shook his head and pleaded while explaining:

"Uncle Mei, Prince, and Lanming are all my men, but I really didn't order Ah Le to be killed."

Wei Jixiang couldn't understand where this unexpected disaster came from.

This afternoon he was still faithfully watching over Hongtai's place.

Because his younger brother, who is considered a scoundrel, has to go back to see his sick mother today, and with one less person to do things, he doesn't dare to leave for even a moment.

He received a call from the Crown Prince, who asked him to come to his house, saying that he had good news for him.

Wei Jixiang thought it was because the Crown Prince had promised to give him a red stick title.

To this end, he even paid out of his own pocket to find two people he knew, known as "Blue Lanterns," to help watch the venue.

I never expected to be beaten so badly, and now I'm almost dead.

Upon hearing this, the crown prince flew into a rage:

"Hold him down."

"Hold him down."

"Hold it down!"

Two thugs in suits quickly grabbed Wei Jixiang and forced him to bend over and kneel.

Wei Jixiang didn't even dare to resist; he just begged for mercy verbally.

"Don't kill me! I have a wife and children, please don't kill me..."

Then a gun was pressed against his head, and he shut up.

Wei Jixiang was so frightened that his legs trembled uncontrollably, and his lower body seemed to have lost control.

Just as the Crown Prince was about to pull the trigger, Chief Chen Mei gripped the gun and waved his hand:

"Never mind, Ah Xiang has done so much for the gang over the years, he deserves credit for his hard work even if he hasn't made any great contributions."

"Thank you, Uncle Mei, thank you."

When Wei Jixiang heard Chen Mei speak up for him, he was so grateful that tears welled up in his eyes.

He was grateful that he had always worked diligently for the company and had never slacked off.

Ultimately, it saved his life at the crucial moment.

The prince hesitated, but since his father was opposite him, he reluctantly put away his gun.

He wrinkled his nose, smelled a strong odor of urine, and looked down to see yellow liquid flowing out of the sack.

"You good-for-nothing, how could I have ever fallen for a coward like you!"

The prince rolled his eyes at him, turned around and went back to the dining table, wiping his hands with a towel.

Chen Mei helped Wei Jixiang up from his kneeling position and smiled:

"Ah Xiang, call your wife and kids and ask them to come over and take care of you for the night."

"You'll go with me to the negotiations tomorrow. Explain things clearly, and everything will be fine."

Although Wei Jixiang was cowardly, the Crown Prince had already drawn his gun, so this matter wouldn't be so easy to get away with.

He also needs to call his wife and children over.

He had a bad feeling.

Wei Jixiang quickly knelt down again, sobbing, "Uncle Mei, I don't need anyone to take care of me."

I will definitely explain it clearly tomorrow.

Please don't mess with my wife and children...

Chen Mei, her face darkening, glared at Wei Jixiang and said coldly, "What nonsense are you spouting? You're utterly hopeless!"

The crown prince understood immediately and gave Wei Jixiang another beating until he was knocked unconscious.
