Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

Chapter 524: Holding a Funeral Together

The night is like deep ink, growing thicker and thicker, leaving behind endless darkness.

When the hour hand and minute hand quietly overlap and cross midnight, a new day quietly arrives.

As the society made profits in the early hours of yesterday morning, Liang Kun, as the acting leader, summoned the nine hall masters in the afternoon and told them to be vigilant.

Although a new day had arrived, in every territory of Hongxing, whether it was the hall master or the younger brothers, they all held weapons and were ready for battle.

However, until 5:30 in the morning, when the sky was gradually turning pale, all of Hongxing’s territories had not been invaded by other forces.

Jiang Sheng, the leader of Xinji, was detained for 48 hours as a warning by the senior police officers who personally ordered him to be arrested because he clearly stood on the side of the North.

Before leaving, the leader Jiang Sheng specifically reminded the hall masters of Xinji not to act rashly.

The Eastern Star White-headed Mang was hiding and licking his wounds because of the heavy losses inflicted on it by Liu Xu's group when they joined forces with the Hung Hing to attack Yau Tsim Mong.

As for Lian Sheng, with Liu Xu's words, they would not suffer any losses in their own territory, so naturally they would not think of singing against the tide.

As for second-rate forces such as the Number Gang, Heji, Hehetu, Ni Family and Hongyi Society, without the leadership of the four major societies, they also had no intention of making wedding dresses for others.

Especially the Ni family and the Hehetu family.

Among them, the Ni family has never participated in any land fights since losing the territory in Tsim Sha Tsui. Instead, they bought a large number of houses in various places in Wan Chai and started to whitewash their identities.

The former subordinates and thugs were assigned to the security departments of various office buildings and hotels.

As for the Hehetu force, without being notified by Liu Xu, Tonkotsu, the leader of the group, would not take any unnecessary actions.

It is much better to follow the boss obediently and drink soup than to pay for sin!

Just like how Wo Hop Tu was able to gain a foothold in Wan Chai this time, it was because of Liu Xu's advance warning that allowed the cooperation between Hung Hing and Chui Ji, which allowed Lao Pao to easily grab the two streets of San Kee in Wan Chai.

The remaining forces such as Hutchison, the Number Gang and Hongyi wanted to take action, but as the four first-rate forces remained quiet, it would be difficult for them to produce any substantial results if they took action alone.

However, acting blindly can easily lead to others making trouble. This is why the Hongxing territory has not been invaded.

But not all places in Hong Kong Island were calm during the early morning hours.

Small-scale armed fights broke out in places such as Kwun Tong, Tai Po, Lai Chi Kok and outlying islands.

----------

The next day, September 25th, was the Double Ninth Festival, a time when funerals were held but water was not a good thing.

The Hong Kong Island Funeral Parlour at the junction of King's Road and Java Road in North Point was crowded with people.

Today is not only the day of the funeral of Hung Hing's former leader, Gao Laofa, and his uncle Deng Bo, but also the funeral date chosen by Liang Kun for the former leader of Hung Hing, Jiang Tiansheng.

Mainly a companion!

Enze Hall and Zhuze Hall house the bodies of Gao Laofa and Deng Wei respectively, Shoushan Hall houses the body of Jiang Tiansheng. The three halls are connected to each other.

He Liansheng, the existing hall masters of Hongxing, the red sticks, the straw sandals, the white paper fans and some of the old four-nine men gathered here with solemn expressions.

Although the two sides were not from the same society, they were clearly separated and there was no noise or disturbance.

The host of this funeral was Chuanbao from Liansheng and Liangkun from Hongxing. The two sides started two hours apart to make it easier for the two sides to pay respect to each other.

As the funeral officially began, the first to burn incense were He Liansheng and his uncles.

Then, the hall masters of He Liansheng saluted and burned incense, followed by the red sticks, white paper fans, straw sandals and the old four-nine people kneeling down and burning incense one after another.

When all the members of He Liansheng had finished their ceremony, it was the turn of Liang Kun to bring the leader of Hongxing to burn incense, followed by Tong Gu Zai of Wo Hop Tou, Shen Xian Ju of He Kee and Lian Haolong of Zhong Xin Yi.

These three are the ones who arrived at the funeral home at the beginning, sending wreaths, as well as the old man with white hair from Dongxing, the leaders of the Number Gang, and Ni Kun and Ni Qian from the Ni family.

Sun Kee is the largest gang in Hong Kong Island. Since Jiang Sheng is still detained in the police station, the people who came are Axe Jun and Gao Tengfei, the leaders of Tsim Sha Tsui East.

However, the guests who came to burn incense had one thing in common: they left in a hurry after burning incense. It was as if the King of Hell was chasing them to death. However, the members of the Helian Sheng did not ask any more questions.

It doesn't matter if members of third-rate societies don't come to the funeral of the head of a first-rate society. But if no one from other first-rate and second-rate societies comes, it's no different from making enemies.

The club values ​​face, and not coming means looking down on the other party. In this case, if there is a chance, the other party will not mind kicking you when you are down.

The entire process, including the guests burning incense and the religious ceremony, plus the relatives and friends saying their final goodbyes to the deceased, took a full two hours.

Chuanbao, the host, looked pale with tiredness.

Next is Shoushan Hall.

He Liansheng in the morning and Hongxing in the afternoon.

Contrary to what was agreed, when Liu Xu was burning incense in the afternoon, he suddenly found that the host of the funeral had been changed from the original Liang Kun to Big Brother B.

Liu Xu guessed that he was scared off by the trivial process, but it had nothing to do with him. He inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner and stared at the black and white portrait on the mourning hall for a moment.

He muttered to himself, "Haha, you won't feel lonely on the road to the underworld, right, Jiang Tiansheng? After all, I am sending the woman you love most to the underworld with you!"

"Don't thank me, it's your fault that you didn't have the diamond to provoke the living devil! Rest in peace!"

The funeral host, Boss B, saw that Liu Xu had a blank expression and was full of solemnity, and nodded secretly in his heart.

"It is rumored that Jiang Tiansheng and Deng Wei died at the hands of Feng Xu, but looking at his appearance, it seems that the rumor is just a lie."

Fortunately, Liu Xu didn’t know what he was thinking, otherwise he would have to give Big Boss B a thumbs up!

When He Liansheng and his uncles and the hall masters had finished offering incense one by one, they returned to Enze Hall and watched the bodies of Gao Laofa and Deng Wei being sent for cremation.

Led by Kuwaba, the group took the ashes of the two men and buried them in the Hong Kong Island Cemetery.

Finally, arrange for family and friends to have a meal together to express support and comfort to each other.

Only Lian Sheng's men participated in this event, with no other club members participating.

This is where the saying "people leave and tea gets cold" comes into play. Gao Laofa's situation is fine, as his confidant Shanghai Zai is in charge of matters concerning the tombstone.

As for Deng Wei, his family was sent out of Hong Kong Island more than ten years ago. As for where they are now, apart from the parties involved, only Liu Xu knows the specific location through the plot of the previous life.

Liu Xu likes to help others and will do it. But if the target is Deng Bo, from his point of view, the other party is not a good person.

Without family members around, neither Chuanbao, Leng Lao, nor Lao Guigang, showed any interest in the selection of materials for Deng Bo's tombstone and the tidying up of the cemetery.

But this has nothing to do with Liu Xu, and he doesn't care about it either.

However, he still helped with Gao Laofa's funeral.

In addition, a small incident occurred during the process of collecting the ashes.

Because the bodies of Jiang Tiansheng and Deng Wei were cremated at the same time, the staff collided when transporting the ashes, and the ashes of both parties were scattered all over the ground.

Faced with the members of Hongxing and He Liansheng who surrounded them, the two staff members were so scared that their faces turned pale and they kept apologizing in a trembling voice.

However, neither Hongxing's Liang Kun nor He Liansheng's Chuanbao blamed the two staff members. After looking at each other inexplicably, they silently bent down and picked up half of the ashes.

As for the hall masters and red sticks of Hongxing and Liansheng, seeing that the parties involved did not express their opinions, they naturally did not say much.
