Chapter 032 Remember whose food you're eating!
The plane thought that its words would immediately intimidate everyone present.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and even Chen Yongren cast a questioning glance at Chen Piao.
It seems the plane's whistle wasn't loud enough; Lin Huai-le had simply been too "protecting" him.
Chen Piao scoffed, "Did you hear what he just cursed at you?"
Sha Qiang was the one who spoke, and he immediately nodded to Chen Piao in a serious manner.
"Brother Piao, he just called us losers!"
"Good to hear. What kind of stray dog dares to impersonate the dragon's godson here?"
"Sha Qiang, go slap him twice."
Chen Piao already understood Lin Huai Le's purpose in arranging the plane to come.
The Ni family is now ready to hand over their account books and lists. The plane is coming under the banner of the Dragon Head. If I give them the territory in Kowloon Center, it would be like showing weakness in front of these gangsters.
A wise bird chooses its tree to perch on. These bosses will surely lose confidence in me and may eventually bypass me and gravitate towards Lin Huai Le. In that case, the base I have painstakingly built will be over before it even begins.
If we were to make a big fuss about shooting down the plane here, that would be just as troublesome.
After all, the other party had made a name for themselves and used Lin Huai Le's name. Lin Huai Le had every reason to interfere with the allocation of land in Tsim Sha Tsui as the leader!
Fighting now is not an option, and not fighting is even worse. Faced with this dilemma, Chen Piao decided to play dumb.
No matter what, just stick to your guns and refuse to admit that it's an airplane.
Sha Qiang was a simple and honest man. When he heard Chen Piao call out, he immediately got up, rolled up his sleeves, and stretched out his right palm to hit the plane in the face.
The plane was stunned for a moment. He still couldn't accept reality. Could it be that after fighting so many bloody battles in the streets for Wo Luen Shing, there were still hardly any people who knew him?
However, just as Sha Qiang's slap was about to land on his cheek, he cleared his mind of all distractions.
Intense resentment and humiliation combined to create a raging fire of anger, a state known as "being enraged out of shame."
As expected of the top-notch henchman chosen by Lam Wai-lok, his reaction was incredibly swift.
He suddenly reached out with his left hand and firmly grabbed Sha Qiang's wrist just as the palm wind was about to hit his face.
Then, with a sudden, explosive movement, his right knee bent, and a powerful elbow strike landed squarely on Sha Qiang's chest.
"Ugh—"
Sha Qiang let out a muffled groan and curled up into a ball, but the plane's anger was clearly not over yet. It grabbed Sha Qiang's left hand and twisted it, wrapping Sha Qiang's forearm behind its neck.
With a crisp "crack," everyone knew that Sha Qiang's arm had been dislocated.
"That's enough!"
Just as the plane was about to launch its next heavy attack, Chen Piao chose not to stand idly by.
His body moved so fast that it seemed as if the sound had barely reached the plane's ears before the whistling wind of his punch followed.
Just as the plane turned around, a heavy punch landed in his eye socket.
Chen Piao held back more than 60% of his strength in this punch. Right now, he couldn't afford to hurt the plane badly, but he also had to hit it properly.
Caught off guard by the punch, the plane instinctively freed its right hand to retaliate.
Besides using a knife, he also studied wrestling in his early years.
It's all about brute force. Although Chen Piao's punches were completely haphazard and unpredictable, they were all deadly. Every time Feiji blocked one of Chen Piao's attacks, his arms felt weak and numb.
Soon, Chen Piao's offensive surged like a rising tide, while Fei Ji's courage faded like the receding tide.
In less than a few breaths, the plane, which had originally wanted to counterattack, was completely demoralized and squatted on the ground with its head in its hands, letting Chen Piao's barrage of attacks fall on it.
It's worth mentioning that airplanes are indeed a tough nut to crack.
Even after he was beaten unconscious, he didn't utter a single sound.
"Fuck your mother, throw him out with me!"
After flipping the plane, Chen Piao straightened up, shook his neck, and greeted the young man at the door.
Only after the plane was dragged away like a dead dog did Chen Piao return to the main seat and continue speaking.
"Stop standing there, hand over the roster and account books!"
"oh oh!"
……
The scene immediately sprang into action. Even Sha Qiang, whose left arm was dislocated, endured the pain and got up from the ground, handing over the account books and rosters he had brought to Chen Piao.
"Brother Piao, I'm having trouble breathing and my head is spinning. I've already handed in the account books and ledgers. Could I see a doctor first?"
After handing over the account book, Sha Qiang was almost unsteady on his feet, but Chen Piao showed no intention of letting him leave.
"No rush, let me finish what I have to say. If you wanted to die, you would have died already!"
Then Chen Piao lit a cigarette and looked around at everyone present.
"When you get back, tell your bosses that I'm hosting a banquet at Ping Cui Lou this afternoon at six o'clock."
Everyone is welcome to come and eat. Call out "Brother Piao" on the spot, and everyone will receive a 2,000 yuan red envelope!
Two thousand yuan?
When Chen Piao announced the number, everyone present doubted that they had heard correctly.
To be honest, a red envelope of two thousand dollars isn't much for these big shots, but if everyone in the Tsim Sha Tsui triad had one, even when Ni Yongxiao was still around, they never gave out red envelopes this generously.
Chen Yongren also stood up.
"Chen Piao, you need to understand that the underwater register sent here contains more than 360 names just for being listed."
Not counting those Blue Lanterns who haven't been officially registered yet, you're treating at least 800 people to this banquet!
Two thousand each, that's one million six hundred thousand!
Chen Piao simply waved his hand. He knew that Chen Yongren thought he was an undercover agent and couldn't possibly have that much money. If he exaggerated the situation, he would only embarrass himself.
Chen Piao was too lazy to explain, and then dropped a bombshell that completely convinced the remaining stall owners.
"What Brother Ren said is true. Pingcui Tower is not big. Even if we book the whole place, it won't be enough to take care of all eight hundred brothers."
Then I made another call and booked out Jade Jade Pavilion in Yau Ma Tei as well.
Also, to thank you for your support, I'll be paying the salaries of all the younger guys working for your establishments from now on!
hum-
The scene immediately erupted in chaos.
It is important to understand that the structure of the community is similar to the feudal system in ancient Europe, where the so-called vassal of my vassal is not my vassal.
Chen Piao is now the leader of the Wo Luen Shing branch in Tsim Sha Tsui, and he also runs several stalls. To the younger men who make a living at those stalls, he is their boss.
The salaries of these younger brothers were all paid by the stall owners. Some even gave their most capable brothers a business deal as a bribe, instead of paying them a salary. They also had to pay the bosses a fixed amount every month.
For the first time ever, Chen Piao paid all the wages of the young men working in the entire gang!
"Brother Piao, I feel like I'm not feeling so bad anymore."
I'll go to the hospital later and be there promptly at 6 PM!
The first person to come out and show their support was Sha Qiang again.
With Sha Qiang taking the lead time and time again, the way the other gang leaders called him "Brother Piao" became much easier to say.
Flattery and sycophancy were incessant, which made Chen Piao understand why ancient feudal emperors were so fond of treacherous officials.
Only after the flattery had become to everyone's liking did Chen Piao wave his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
He piled up the ledgers and rosters on the table, and his gaze began to sharpen.
"I'm telling you all this just so you can understand one thing."
How you used to make a living can be put aside for now; now you need to remember whose food you're eating!
As he spoke, Chen Piao's voice suddenly rose.
"Tell me, whose food are you eating?!"
"We...we'll eat Brother Piao's food!"
"Eat Brother Piao's food!"
