"They don't want to go against me?" Xu Lang sneered. "They're trying to poach my men right under my nose!"
"What do we do now?" Tiger Dami asked. "Should we just go and knock on their film company's door?"
"No rush!" Xu Lang leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the table.
"We don't lack money or manpower right now, what we lack is an excuse!"
"If we're going to take action, we must ensure they have no chance to fight back!"
"Do you remember last month at the Macau casino, there was a design outsourcing company that didn't submit their documents and it was three days late?"

"Remember!"
"It's a subsidiary department of this film company!"
"Good!" Xu Lang's eyes sharpened. "Have Aji take some men there, but don't alert too many people. Let them know—this money isn't something just anyone can touch!"
"I'll go to Haojiang myself. I want to see what kind of person this guy surnamed Ji really is!"
...............
"When you go to Haojiang, do you want to take Hengmei with you?"
"No!" Xu Lang shook his head. "I'm taking Wang Jianjun!"
"Jianjun is currently overseeing the new batch of goods at the factory!"
"Call them back."
He's the most suitable person for this!
Tiger Dami nodded and picked up the phone to make the arrangements.
Xu Lang stood up and put the documents on the table back into the file folder.
He knew that the Yamaguchi-gumi had switched from direct confrontation to covert infiltration, and their actions were becoming increasingly daring and their reach increasingly extensive.
He had to plan ahead, lure out these opportunists one by one, and then skin them alive, one by one.
Returning to the main building from the office, I was greeted by He Xigui as soon as I entered.
"Boss, news came from over there: the leader of the Twin Dragons Gang has suddenly been stabbed!"
"Who did this?"
Chapter 658 Dare to Talk Nonsense Again
"I don't know, they died completely, leaving only one card behind!"
What brand?
"The famous thorn of the Tojo Mountain branch!"
Xu Lang's expression didn't change, he just paused for a second.
"What does it mean?"
"It looks like they're making an example of us, or doing this for our benefit!"
"Do they think we can't tell?"
"It's not us, it's those clubs that are just watching!"
"We want them to know who the 'new boss' of Hong Kong Island is?"
"That's what it means!"
Xu Lang laughed, but not a happy laugh; it was more like watching a joke.
"They really treat me like I'm just a decoration!"
"Should I leak the news?"
"put!"
"Just say we were laughing when we received this card!"
"I, Xu Lang, am just watching the show!"
He Xigui nodded and left.
Xu Lang stood there for a while, then took out his phone and dialed a number for the Macau casino.
"I am Xu Lang!"
"From this moment on, all financial statements must be delivered to me within three days. I want to review them personally!"
"If there's another unresolved debt, I'll personally go and tear down your building!"
"Did you hear that clearly?"
The person on the other end of the phone repeatedly agreed.
Xu Lang hung up the phone, walked out the door, stood on the steps, and squinted at the sky outside as it began to lighten.
Three days later, Xu Lang arrived in Haojiang.
This time, he didn't make a big fuss or notify his local connections in Macau. He only brought Wang Jianjun, Aji, and two Alpha Commando members.
The night before his departure, he did not inform anyone. Even Hong Wentong and Hu Dami thought he had changed his plans at the last minute to go to the factory to inspect the goods. It wasn't until the next morning that the Tung Sing headquarters received the news that the boss had arrived in Macau.
His goal for coming here was very clear—this outsider surnamed Ji, and the funding channels hidden in the film companies behind him.
The Macau casino was built by Xu Lang with a large investment in the local area.
The entire building covers a total area of 4,000 square meters, with one underground floor and six floors above ground. Inside, there is a large entertainment venue, theater, restaurant, VIP club, conference hall, and a commercial street connected to the surrounding business district.
Other triads may have connections in Macau, but in this area, no one dares to make any moves.
His trip began at this entertainment complex.
Xu Lang didn't go to find the man surnamed Ji first; he checked the accounts first.
Upon receiving the news, the casino's finance manager rushed there overnight with all the accounts...
Xu Lang sat in the VIP room on the top floor, turning the pages of the reports one by one, his gaze calm, but his hands never stopped.
Wang Jianjun stood behind him without saying a word, while Aji sat by the window, his eyes scanning the entire private room with a wary expression.
The finance manager was a woman in her thirties surnamed Su. She used to be the chief accountant at a nightclub on Hong Kong Island. She was recruited by Ho Sai-ki and was quite capable, never making any mistakes.
This time, being personally called out by Xu Lang made her tremble with nervousness, fearing that she would be thrown downstairs if she made the slightest mistake.
Xu Lang observed very carefully.
He checked every single expense, from external procurement and entertainment investment to renovation settlements, labor wages, and equipment maintenance, stopping at one particular expenditure.
That was the production cost of a certain performance project, and the payer was "Hanhui 4.0 Cultural Communication Co., Ltd." The project number included several smaller, separate payments.
"Who arranged these accounts?" Xu Lang asked calmly, but his eyes were glued to them.
The accountant surnamed Su swallowed hard and said that the project manager had asked Lin Yongxiu to arrange it. The other party was from the Ministry of Culture and was responsible for handling the contract. He was a person designated by the film company.
"Is this Lin Yongxiu still at the entertainment center?" Xu Lang asked without looking up.
Chapter 659 Breaking the Game First
"Yes, I'm currently in charge of the theater rental project. I'm in my office on the fifth floor every day!"
"Call him over here!"
"Yes!"
Before long, Lin Yongxiu was brought up. He was in his early thirties, dressed in a sharp suit, with a slight smile on his face, like someone who had been in the entertainment industry for many years. His eyes were shifty, his lips always left room for maneuver, and he spoke with perfect tact.
Xu Lang didn't give him a chance to speak.
He pointed to the bill: "Did you arrange these expenses yourself?"
"Yes!" Lin Yongxiu nodded: "This project is a collaboration with a production company under our film industry..."
"Cooperation?" Xu Lang looked at him, his eyes turning cold.
"Yes, mainly for consolidated expenditures in cost accounting; separate accounts make it more convenient to process them!" (15)
"To facilitate your money laundering?"
Lin Yongxiu's expression changed.
Xu Lang stood up, walked over, and stared at him.
"I didn't look at these accounts before because I trusted you."
"But you dare touch my assets? Do you want to die?"
"No, I was just following procedure..."
"process?"
Xu Lang sneered, reached out and grabbed his collar, lifting him up.
"You're fucking going to explain the process to me?"
"Who gave you the courage?"
While struggling, Lin Yongxiu hurriedly explained that it was a matter for the company's decision-making level, and he was just carrying it out. He didn't know the specifics and was only responsible for relaying information. He did not misappropriate any funds.
"Can't explain it?"
Xu Lang let go, pushed him to the ground, and turned to say something to Aji.
"Take him away and question him thoroughly!"
Aji nodded, walked over, and picked the person up like a dead dog.
The room became quiet again.
Xu Lang sat back down and continued reviewing the accounts.
The accountant surnamed Su stood to the side, too afraid to move, his hands trembling and cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
Wang Jianjun glanced at the reports beside him and said, "These accounts look fine, but there's a detour involved in the actual operation!"
"The reason for going around one layer is to make room for going around several more layers later!"
"This is no longer about saving taxes, it's about spreading the burden of responsibility!"
