Hong Kong Movies: Red Stick Chen Haonan? Turns out he's just a scoundrel

"Mr. Jiang, I have nothing to do, so I came to Central to do some work. I came to see Mr. Jiang after I finished it."

Jiang Tiansheng nodded silently after hearing this, but he didn't believe it at all.

Han Chen had just been killed, what were you doing in Central with nothing to do? You were clearly here to show off your power.

Seeing that Jiang Tiansheng just nodded in silence, Cheng Yaodong said with a smile.

"Mr. Jiang, I believe you must have heard about Han Chen's affairs, right?"

"I heard that Han Chen was suddenly arrested by the police and shot dead while fleeing. Adong, you did this, didn't you?"

Cheng Yaodong shrugged noncommittally and said.

"The details aren't important; what matters is the outcome. Han Chen is dead. Now, I can focus on dealing with Ba Bi. This Han Chen actually told me to get out of Yau Ma Tei within three days. Damn it! We, the Hongxing, have finally established a presence in Yau Ma Tei. How could we be driven out by a mere profiteer like him?"

"Indeed, Yau Ma Tei is a big piece of lucrative territory. Now you've gained management rights over three streets. Congratulations, A-Dong. I've always said that among the younger generation, you're the most capable."

Jiang Tiansheng continued speaking with his signature warm smile on his face.

"Ah Dong, from now on, just focus on dealing with Babi. As long as you kill Babi, I promise that Hongxing will not treat you unfairly. Once you successfully kill Babi, you can try to expand the territory of Yau Ma Tei. If you need help then, I will definitely help you."

Listening to Jiang Tiansheng's meaningless words, Cheng Yaodong just felt funny. This guy didn't even want to draw a cake for him?

However, Cheng Yaodong will never let go of what belongs to him.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang. However, things haven't been going well for me lately..."

Cheng Yaodong sighed and shook his head.

Seeing this, Jiang Tiansheng knew that Cheng Yaodong had something else in mind, but he still asked.

"Are you in trouble? Feel free to tell me. As long as it's within the rules, I'll try to help you."

Cheng Yaodong looked at Jiang Tiansheng with gratitude, nodded, and said.

"Mr. Jiang knows that now that I've taken over three streets, even though there aren't many shops there, I'm running out of manpower. You know, after I left Big B, I only had thirty old "four-nine" guys with me, and not a single "Blue Lantern" guy. I wanted to find some more people, at least some "Blue Lantern" guys. But they weren't very willing to work with me. Some even said I was just a "four-nine" guy and had no business setting up shop in Yau Ma Tei."

"Mr. Jiang... I'm in a dilemma too. But if we can't find more manpower, I'm afraid it won't be easy to do this. I just happened to remember that Mr. Jiang seemed to have told me that as long as I could kill Han Chen, he would support me as a Red Stick. I think Mr. Jiang shouldn't have forgotten this, right?"

Seeing that Cheng Yaodong still took the initiative to bring up this matter, Jiang Tiansheng knew that he had no way to avoid it today, so he said.

"Of course I won't forget, A-Dong. Not only did I promise you that if you kill Han Chen, I'll make you a Red Stick, but I also promised you that if you kill Ba Bi, I'll let you take over his territory in Mong Kok and make you the thirteenth leader of my Hongxing. But..."

Jiang Tiansheng hesitated for a moment and continued.

"Ah Dong, you're a veteran of Hongxing, you should understand. Whether it's the Red Stick or the Hall Master position, they're both major events for the society, and both require a dedicated hall. You promised me that you'd kill Babi within a week, and there are still six days left. To be honest, I'm very optimistic that you can kill Babi. If you do, I'll make you the Hall Master."

"But if I give you the red stick during this period, and then promote you to the position of hall master in a few days, such frequent openings of the hall would be against the rules and would also cause gossip from others. A-Dong, I'm not going to go back on my word, but I'm thinking, wouldn't it be better if I could open the hall and make you the hall master right after you kill Ba Bi? What do you think?"

After Jiang Tiansheng finished speaking, he looked at Cheng Yaodong calmly.

Cheng Yaodong cursed in his heart, this bastard is really good at shirking his responsibilities.

However, if he happily stabbed himself with the red stick, he would no longer be called Jiang Tiansheng.

Since Cheng Yaodong came to find him on his own initiative, he naturally knew what was going on.

"Mr. Jiang, after what happened at the headquarters last night, I deeply understand how good Mr. Jiang is to me. So I will do this according to what Mr. Jiang said. However..."

"Don't worry."

"Mr. Jiang, I was able to successfully kill Han Chen thanks to some tricks and luck. But Babi is different. He is the boss of Liansheng in Mong Kok and has many subordinates. With my power, it is impossible to kill Babi head-on. I can only find a way to kill him secretly first."

Cheng Yaodong sighed and continued.

"But Chen Haonan has already failed once. Babi now has to bring a dozen minions with him even to go to the bathroom. It's extremely difficult to kill him. Mr. Jiang, I'm even a little regretful now. I boasted at the headquarters yesterday, and I was a little overconfident."

Cheng Yaodong's words made Jiang Tiansheng frown instantly. He had been paying attention to Cheng Yaodong all along. How could such words come out of his mouth?

Are you pretending to be nice, or are you really having trouble?

According to Cheng Yaodong, this difficulty is true. On the surface, Cheng Yaodong is not qualified to fight against Ba Bi. Because of Chen Haonan's failure, assassination is also extremely difficult.

So, Cheng Yaodong wants to give up?

"Adong, what do you mean..."

"Mr. Jiang, since I promised the society about Babi, I will do my best to do it. Even if I, Cheng Yaodong, die at Babi's hands, I will never regret it. But I do have some difficulties now and need Mr. Jiang's help."

Jiang Tiansheng was thinking in his mind, but his expression did not change.

"Adong, if you have any difficulties, just tell me. As long as it's in accordance with the rules, I will definitely help you."

Jiang Tiansheng deliberately emphasized the four words "in accordance with the rules". As for what rules or whose rules, these can all be used as excuses.

Cheng Yaodong seemed not to have heard it, and nodded quickly.

"Mr. Jiang, I've come up with a plan. As long as it succeeds, I'm 80% sure I can kill Babi. But to implement this plan, I need some funds. As long as the funds arrive, I guarantee that within five days, Babi will be dead without a burial place!"

Jiang Tiansheng cursed in his heart, this Cheng Yaodong wants to borrow money from him?

He thought of ten thousand possibilities and even came up with more than nine thousand excuses, but he never expected that the help Cheng Yaodong mentioned was actually borrowing money.

How could I refuse this? I kept saying I was helping them, saying I had good intentions for them, and I was also a big shot and a big boss. How could I refuse when they asked me to lend you money?

He says he is the leader of the Hongxing gang, but he is actually not rich?

Jiang Tiansheng exhaled slowly. Although he wanted to curse, he still maintained his smile and spoke patiently.

"As for money, in this world, anything that can be solved with money isn't a problem. However, everyone has their own value. If the price is right, then there's no problem. But if it exceeds that, then you might have to consider whether there's something wrong with the way you're doing things. Ah Dong, tell me, how much money do you need?"

Cheng Yaodong's eyes lit up after hearing this and he quickly spoke.

"Mr. Jiang, I don't need much."

Then, Cheng Yaodong made a gesture, five.

"Five...million?"

Jiang Tiansheng originally wanted to say 500,000, but was afraid of appearing too stingy, so he asked if it was 5 million.

Cheng Yaodong shook his head and said seriously.

"Mr. Jiang, it's 50 million."
