Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

"Chu Ying!" Luo Cheng couldn't stand the name Chu Ying at all; he became furious as soon as he heard it.

Even over the phone, Li Huishan could hear Luo Cheng's anger and quickly asked what had happened.

Luo Cheng then told Li Huishan about the robbery of Xiangluo Street led by Chu Ying's henchman, Malou Yong, saying, "Don't think that just because Chu Ying has been arrested by the police, I will let the Changxing gang off the hook. If the Changxing gang doesn't give me an explanation for the losses from the robbery of Xiangluo Street, the brothers who were arrested in this operation, and the guns that were seized, then we'll pay the interest with Chu Ying's life."

Li Huishan was shocked: Chu Ying actually had this conspiracy?

As far as he knew, aside from being narrow-minded and having a lot of tricks up his sleeve, Chu Ying wasn't bold enough to do something so outrageous.

A misunderstanding? Or is there more to the story?

But Malou Yong was indeed a strong henchman under Chu Ying, and deeply trusted by him. And those who came to rob him were indeed members of the Changxing Gang, as were those who were tied up and caught red-handed. All this evidence was laid bare before them.

"Chu Ying's audacity..." Li Huishan didn't know what to say. He stopped thinking about it. Perhaps the other party was really greedy and wanted to not only seize Huang Yuliang's property, but also the Yihai Gang.

If the other party runs away quickly and shifts all the blame onto Huang Yuliang, it could actually be easy for him to succeed.

"Take a few days off and deal with those officers," Luo Cheng said.

Although Li Huishan wasn't caught red-handed, he will definitely be watched and investigated for a few days. Once no real evidence is obtained, the matter will be temporarily forgotten.

Li Huishan asked with concern, "How is the Changxing gang handling things? Do I need to follow up?"

"I'll have Ah Zhong follow up on this matter. You can come over after things have calmed down." After giving the instructions, Luo Cheng immediately sent another trusted confidant, Ah Zhong, to handle the matter of pursuing compensation from the Changxing gang.

The Changxing gang went to rob Xiangluo Street, resulting in over a hundred people being killed or injured, and dozens more being kidnapped. Such a big incident could not be concealed, so it had to be reported to Liu Yaofang.

Sitting at home waiting for good news, Liu Yaofang was shocked to learn that Chu Ying had not only failed to capture Huang Yuliang but had also been arrested by the police: "What did Chu Ying do? He got arrested? What about the people who went with him?"

Li Biao replied, "Except for the few brothers who were killed, all the others were arrested, and all their guns were confiscated."

Li Biao was also very worried. These brothers who went with Chu Ying were the most capable fighters in the gang. They were caught red-handed carrying guns, and they would be sentenced to at least several years in prison.

Losing these most capable fighters will make the Changxing gang less confident in competing for territory in the future.

What pained Li Biao the most were the confiscated guns. These things were very difficult to get into Baogang. The Changxing gang only had this much stock, and now it was all gone.

When Liu Yaofang heard that the gun was gone, it was as if he had heard a devastating blow. "Is the Yi Hai Gang the same?"

If the Yi Hai Gang, like them, also lost a group of their most capable fighters and their signature weapons, then the strength of both sides would be reduced to the same level, which would be somewhat comforting.

But Li Biao's words made Liu Yaofang lose all hope: "No, Li Huishan escaped, taking half of his men with him, and they also took half of the guns with them."

In other words, the Yi Hai Gang's losses were only half of theirs?

"That good-for-nothing Chu Ying, why can't he be more sensible and run after us too?" Liu Yaofang couldn't help but scold Chu Ying. "If Li Huishan could escape, why can't he? He's utterly useless!"

The fact that the Yi Hai Gang retained some of its strength made Liu Yaofang worry that the Yi Hai Gang had men and guns, and whether this would disrupt the balance between the two gangs.

While I was still having a headache, another phone call came in, this time about the Xiangluo Street incident.

Knowing that hiding it was useless, the person on the other end of the phone told the whole story, and finally said resentfully, "To be honest, it was all Malouyong who started it. Malouyong went to rob Luo Cheng's gold shop, and other short-sighted fools saw this and followed suit, which led to things getting out of control."

"Where is Malouyong? Make him bring his head to me!" Liu Yaofang roared.

"He's dead. He was stabbed to death by the Yi Hai Gang. The Yi Hai Gang said it was Chu Ying who ordered Ma Lou Yong to do it. Liu Sheng, ask that Chu Ying what's going on. He's not so poor he can't afford food, so why did he rob Luo Cheng? Why did he choose to rob him when the two families were allied? How are we brothers supposed to face people in the underworld after this?" People in the underworld don't care about laws or morals, they only care about loyalty. Loyalty is the only thing that can bind them. Once that's lost, who will dare to do business with the Changxing Society?

If they are already a group of lawless people, and they are also ruthless and heartless, how can they have any authority in the future?

"It's Chu Ying again!" Liu Yaofang originally thought Chu Ying was a rising star in the Changxing gang, intelligent and brave, but now he just thought this person was as stupid as a pig.

If Chu Ying were standing in front of Liu Yaofang at this moment, Liu Yaofang would be so angry that he would shoot him.

"What did Luo Cheng say?" Liu Yaofang asked.

Luo Cheng was extremely greedy, and Liu Yaofang had already guessed that the other party would take this opportunity to make an exorbitant demand.

"Luo Cheng said we have to compensate for the losses on Heung Lo Street, the injuries and deaths of the Yi Hai Gang members, the resettlement fees for those arrested by the police, and the compensation for the guns that were confiscated, all of it..." There was a pause on the other end of the phone before he said, "Ten times, Luo Cheng wants ten times the compensation."

"Ten times?" Even though he knew Luo Cheng would ask for an exorbitant amount, Liu Yaofang still couldn't help but curse when he actually asked for ten times the compensation. "Want ten times? I'll burn it for him next year during Qingming Festival, and I'll add as many zeros as I want!"

Having overheard the whole story, Li Biao became hesitant. "Mr. Liu, if we don't compensate you, I'm afraid Luo Cheng will retaliate."

You can talk about anything with Luo Cheng, except money; money is his life.

Liu Yaofang hung up the phone and paced back and forth in the room, extremely agitated. He said to Li Biao, "Go talk to Luo Cheng. Compensation is possible. At most, the Changxing Society is willing to compensate for the losses on Xiangluo Street, but ten times is impossible. There are also the people arrested by the police and the guns confiscated. How can there be no risk when we cooperate? This money has nothing to do with the Changxing Society."

Li Biao hurriedly said, "Even if we only compensate for the losses on Xiangluo Street, it's still a huge sum of money. Given Luo Cheng's personality, he'll definitely report the losses as several times higher..."

Increasing the losses several times over, and then adding ten times the compensation on top of that, is something Luo Cheng is capable of doing.

It would be difficult for the Changxing gang to raise so much money, and Li Biao was unwilling to pay such a large sum. If the robbers hadn't been caught red-handed and dozens of people hadn't been kidnapped, he would definitely have renege on the debt.

But as I said before, the members of the Changxing gang have been arrested with ample evidence and witnesses, and they are still being held in custody. They have no choice but to pay compensation.
