Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Chapter 386 A Moment of Chaos

Lin Shengyuan rushed forward and slashed several members of the Yi Hai Gang, drawing their hatred, before disappearing into the street.

The street was old and dilapidated, with most of the streetlights broken and no one having repaired them. Because of the tense atmosphere tonight, no lights were turned on in the buildings on either side, making the street dimly lit and difficult to see people clearly.

After Lin Shengyuan rushed in, he heard shouts and cries of battle coming from the other side. Although he couldn't see how many people were on the other side, judging from the sounds and movements, there were definitely more than a few hundred.

On the other side, the person running in front was none other than his former comrade-in-arms, Liu Guohao.

The number of people chasing after Liu Guohao was so large that it was impossible to tell how many there were.

Seeing Liu Guohao arrive, Lin Shengyuan stopped running and turned back to join Liu Guohao in hacking at the Yi Hai Gang members, who cursed and swore. Immediately afterward, their companions who had disappeared into the shadows reappeared and joined Lin Shengyuan and Liu Guohao in the attack.

When the Yi Hai Gang saw that Lin Shengyuan's helpers were arriving in waves, and that countless more were about to arrive, they hurriedly called on their brothers to come up and help!

The Yi Hai Gang members behind them also saw countless people coming with knives and clubs, and immediately swung their knives and clubs to meet them.

On the dimly lit street, the two groups clashed and immediately engaged in a fierce battle. Knives and clubs flew, some bleeding profusely from the cuts, others suffering heavy blows to the head. Shouts, curses, and screams mingled together in complete chaos.

It wasn't until several members of the Yi Hai Gang were chased and slashed under a streetlamp that they recognized who it was and exclaimed in surprise, "Aren't you from the Chang Hing Society? When did you join Huang Yuliang's side?"

The man chasing and slashing also recognized the Yi Hai Gang members and exclaimed in surprise, "Aren't you a member of the Yi Hai Gang? When were you bribed by Huang Yuliang?"

"I'm from the Changxing Society! I'm not one of Huang Yuliang's people!"

"I'm also from the Yi Hai Gang. I came here specifically tonight to kill Huang Yuliang!"

The moment they started talking, they immediately realized something was wrong: "Damn it! We've been tricked!"

They hurriedly shouted to the gang members who were still locked in a fierce fight, "Stop fighting! Stop fighting! We've been tricked! We're all brothers! We've fallen for Huang Yuliang's trap!"

"Boss! We were killing members of the Yi Hai Gang, not Huang Yuliang's men!"

"Stop! Stop fighting! The other side are brothers from the Changxing Gang! Stop killing each other!"

But the fighting had already started, and it wasn't something that could be stopped with just a few shouts. Moreover, the battle line was very long, almost stretching from one end of the street to the other, involving thousands of people, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

The important point is that not all members of the Changxing Society and the Yihai Gang know each other. A society with hundreds of thousands of members doesn't even know all its own members, let alone members of other societies. Who knows if the other party is Huang Yuliang's man?

The fight lasted for nearly an hour, until more and more people chased and slashed their way out of the street and came under the bright streetlights. As more and more people realized something was wrong, the farcical brawl finally ended.

But at this point, both groups suffered heavy casualties.

"Huang Yuliang is such a scoundrel! He's so insidious!"

"I will never let Huang Yuliang get away with this! And that bastard Liu Guohao, he tricked us!"

"The one who tricked our Yi Hai Gang was Lin Shengyuan, a despicable and shameless scoundrel!"

"We fought them!"

The members of the two gangs were furious, while on other streets, Liu Guohao and Lin Shengyuan quietly slipped away through the alleys when the two gangs had just clashed, leaving the battlefield to the members of the two gangs.

Their companions who had gone fishing with them earlier also returned. Liu Guohao and Lin Shengyuan counted the number of people, and they were all there.

Half of these people were comrades-in-arms from Taiwan, and the other half were the most clever, fastest, and most familiar with the terrain among the 20,000 gangsters who had defected.

When Liu Guohao saw that everyone had arrived, apart from a few people who had been accidentally slashed, most of them were alert and returned unharmed.

Liu Guohao said, "Huang Sheng said that after the mission is completed, everyone will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan in cash, and each of the injured brothers will receive an additional 50,000 yuan. Next, Ah Zhong, you take a few of the injured brothers to the hospital for treatment. There are company people guarding the hospital, so you can go directly there. The company will pay for the medical expenses. The rest of you, come with us to another place."

After sending their injured comrade for treatment, Liu Guohao and Lin Shengyuan divided the available personnel into two groups, each leading one group to assist in another mission.

Tonight's operation, involving the two major gangs and other organizations, is said to have over 100,000 people, but that's definitely not the actual number. However, the number is certainly substantial; it's impossible to cramm so many people into districts five and six. If they did, it would be so crowded that you couldn't even move.

Therefore, only a portion of the personnel were deployed to the front-line positions, namely the fifth and sixth districts, and these personnel were distributed throughout the streets and alleys.

The vast majority of people were stationed outside the fifth and sixth districts, mainly guarding various intersections and catching any who managed to slip through the net.

Because they were far from the front lines, most of the Yi Hai Gang and Chang Xing gang members came to watch the spectacle.

When the fighting broke out in Districts 5 and 6, the intensity of the battle attracted many gang members to watch. Amidst the excitement, numerous false rumors spread, causing gang members who were originally stationed at various intersections to leave their posts.

Some places were packed with people, while others were completely empty and not a single person could be seen.

Especially in the rear of District 4, the territory of the Yi Hai Gang, it was almost impossible to find a single person. And because this was the rear, the Yi Hai Gang did not believe that Huang Yuliang's men could break through here, so they did not treat this place as a key defensive location.

The two major triads joined forces today, and in order to cooperate, members who usually kept to themselves inevitably started visiting each other.

Malou Yong was a dark-skinned and thin man with particularly small eyes. He was a general under Chu Ying of the Changxing gang. Today, he was responsible for checking for any omissions and making up for any mistakes. He led a group of his men to patrol the streets to prevent any of Huang Yuliang's men from escaping.

Maluo Yong didn't believe that Huang Yuliang's small group of men could escape to the rear. He strolled around the street with his gang, looking at this area he rarely visited, the territory of the Yi Hai Gang—Xiangluo Street.

Although all the doors on this street were closed, the shop signs were still displayed, showing that there were mahjong parlors, bars, hair salons, restaurants, gold shops, clothing stores, and so on. It was clear that this place was usually bustling with people.

Maluo Yong walked up to a gold shop, looked at the shop that occupied four storefronts, and clicked his tongue a few times. As far as he knew, this gold shop belonged to Luo Cheng, and was one of Luo Cheng's legitimate businesses.

Of course, it appears to be a legitimate business, but whether they secretly use the shop to make jewelry from gold and silver that are inconvenient to sell is anyone's guess.
