Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

"Snap!" A crisp sound suddenly rang out in the Dongxing headquarters, shaking the surrounding air.

A questioning voice came from the receiver: "Brother Yao, what's wrong? Look at me now..."

The first question was just asked, but before he could finish, it was drowned out by the "beep, beep, beep~" sound as Chen Yao hung up the phone mercilessly.

Seeing this, the white-headed old man had a trace of surprise on his face. He looked at Chen Yao's slightly out-of-control appearance and asked in confusion: "Ayao, it's just that part of the territory was lost."

"You don't have to be so nervous. My Dongxing and your Hongxing have been through a lot before."

Chen Yao smiled bitterly when he heard this. He knew that this was just the norm for turf disputes. But as a capable leader of Hongxing, he knew what this failure meant to him.

As the leader of the East Star, even if he loses his territory, it is just a hurdle for him to take charge of the East Star Society. It may attract criticism from the leaders of the East Star, but it will not lead to his resignation.

"However, can I consider going to East Star to seek asylum?"

He stroked his chin lightly, his eyes flickering as he weighed the possibility of this option.

However, he quickly rejected this idea.

Although Dongxing is also a force, the Crow of Dongxing died in this gunfight, and Bai Sihai was hacked to death in the chaos in mid-August, which seriously damaged Dongxing.

There are only five of the seven hall masters left now. Among them, Situ Haonan not only lost all the territory in Sham Shui Po, but was also seriously injured and almost lost his combat effectiveness.

Lin Peiru of Wan Chai also lost most of her territory, and the strength of East Star was no longer as strong as before.

"It seems that it is impossible to seek refuge in Dongxing." Chen Yao thought to himself, "I can only go with Liansheng or Xinji."

"But with Lian Sheng's men..." Thinking of what happened in the early morning, Chen Yao shook his head: "Obviously it's not the best choice. So, is Xin Ji the only one left?"

After thoroughly considering all the pros and cons, Chen Yao's eyes flashed with determination. He stood up and looked at the old man sincerely:

"Uncle Ben, since our joint operation to take over Yau Tsim Mong has failed, I will not stay here any longer."

"I need to rush back to the West District immediately and report this result to Mr. Jiang. Develop a response strategy to prevent Lian Sheng or Xin Ji from taking advantage of the situation and further encroaching on Hongxing's territory. Goodbye!"

Hearing this, the old man was slightly startled, then nodded to show his understanding. He said earnestly:

"Be careful on the road, A Yao. If possible, I hope that Dongxing and Hongxing can continue to maintain their current alliance and overcome difficulties together!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao nodded heavily and promised to convey his meaning to Jiang Tiansheng.

He turned around and strode out of the East Star Headquarters, quickly disappearing into the night.

As Chen Yao left, the old man slowly stood up, frowned, and looked out the window at the turbulent river and lake, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.

In his estimation, even if the fight failed to take over the Yau Tsim Mong site, the loss would not be so huge. The Sham Shui Po gang was directly defeated, and more than half of the Wan Chai site was lost.

This made him doubt himself: "Is it possible that Hong Xing is against me? Or is it that the decision I made is no longer suitable for the current situation? Maybe I shouldn't have accepted Jiang Tiansheng's invitation to cooperate?"

The white-headed old man shook his head, throwing all these thoughts out of his head, and secretly pondered how Dongxing should make improvements and get out of the current predicament while stabilizing the current situation.

As for the death of Crow, it was not difficult for him to accept. After all, the other party was stupid and ambitious, so it was better for him to die. Anyway, he had no territory, so he could accept a few casualties.

But when he thought of the disabled Situ Haonan, there was a hint of worry in his eyes. Bai Sihai was dead, and Situ Haonan was his only confidant at the level of a hall master in Hong Kong Island.

"Perhaps I really shouldn't have agreed to cooperate with Jiang Tiansheng," the old man thought to himself.

However, there is no regret medicine in the world, and his regret can only turn into a long sigh. The most important thing now is to stabilize the current situation and then find opportunities to improve the situation of Dongxing.

--------------------

In the western district of the island, at Bel-Air Villa, Jiang Tiansheng learned the news of the failure of the joint invasion of Yau Tsim Mong by Tung Sing and Hung Hing a few minutes earlier than Chen Yao.

Obviously, he has an independent and secret channel for obtaining intelligence, which is not only efficient but also fast.

A man in a black suit made a solemn call. "Mr. Jiang, I just received news that the invasion of Yau Tsim Mong by Dongxing and our Hongxing has failed."

Although his subordinate's words were light, they were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Jiang Tiansheng's movements paused slightly. He did not speak immediately. He loosened his water-stained hands, turned around and walked out of the bedroom area, and went to the tea room next door.

"Details." Jiang Tiansheng's voice was calm and powerful, revealing unquestionable majesty.

The men quickly reported everything they knew in detail, including the heavy losses suffered by East Star, the death of Crow, the destruction of the Sham Shui Po gang and the loss of the Causeway Bay territory.

Tiansheng listened quietly, his expression becoming increasingly serious as he listened to the information.

After his men finished their reports, Jiang Tiansheng slowly stood up, walked to the basement, came to the balcony area of ​​the villa, and stared at the night view with dim lights outside the window.

The night breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, but it also seemed to blow away some of the haze in his heart.

"Fortunately, we have brought in the East Star. Otherwise, if only the Hongxing family took action, not only would the Sham Shui Po branch be destroyed, but the Causeway Bay branch would also be destroyed."

"However, the Sham Shui Po, Kowloon and Kwun Tong gangs were destroyed by He Liansheng, and even half of the territory in Causeway Bay was taken away by He Liansheng. I don't know if Liang Kun can still live peacefully."

Jiang Tiansheng's brows were filled with sorrow.

The losses of the community caused by major decisions shall be borne by whoever proposed it. If Liang Kun chooses to challenge him at this point, it will be difficult for him not to be kidnapped and voted out by other hall masters!

Turning back to the desk, Jiang Tiansheng picked up a pen and paper and wrote the names of the hall masters on the paper. Then he thought about which of these people could be won over by him.

For Jiang Tiansheng, what he needs to do at this time is not to consider how to stabilize the current situation of Hongxing, but how to stabilize his own leading position.

In the dimly lit and slightly hurried corridor of Kowloon Hospital, Han Bin and Long Kong walked in quickly but in unison, their faces filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

The unique smell of disinfectant in the hospital was particularly pungent on such a tense night.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the ward, he bumped into Thirteenth Sister. Dinosaur couldn't hold back his inner impatience. With a trembling voice, he asked Thirteenth Sister impatiently:

"Thirteenth sister, how is Ah Xi doing? Is his life in danger?" His eyes were full of expectation, as if Thirteenth sister's answer was his only salvation at the moment.

Although Han Bin did not ask directly, his eyes were fixed on Thirteenth Sister's face. His eyes, which were usually calm and deep, now revealed a hint of barely perceptible panic.

He clenched his fists and rubbed them together unconsciously, a habit he had when he was nervous. Although he tried to remain calm, he could hardly hide his anxiety.

Seeing this, Thirteenth Sister patted Dinosaur's shoulder gently, handed over two cups of warm water, and motioned for the two to sit down and stay calm.
