Chapter 146 Tony's planned funeral (7200)

"But, I have always respected the old and loved the young, and I have always respected my elders."

Brother Zha acted like the master of the place, holding a cigar in his hand as if he was pointing out the situation. His chin had dense, short, hard stubble, and he continued to laugh to himself:

"My mother knows this best!"

Deng Bo glanced at him and said nothing.

Brother Zha was a stranger and obviously just a junior, but he dared to suddenly interrupt him and Hua Fu loudly, which made the old man feel dissatisfied.

No rules!
However, decades of high-ranking and powerful life in the society has enabled Deng Bo to cultivate his Qi in a profound way. On the surface, he remained calm and looked at Hua Fu.

"...Haha, his name is Xian Weichai, and these are his younger brothers Tony and Ah Hu, both of whom are very capable." Hua Fu, who was 'overshadowed' by the scumbag, introduced them with a fake smile.

Deng Bo nodded without commenting. He did not look at the three brothers of Zha Ge again, but looked at the table in the center of the ice room. There, sitting in the main seat was an old fat man who was about the same size as him:
"When you see an old brother like me, can't you stand up and greet me?"

"…My legs and feet have been weak for a long time. I have to use a wheelchair to go out. Unlike you, you take good care of your body and can go to Kowloon Park every weekend night to walk the dog."

The fat old man said with a smile.

He is called Uncle Di, and has a very high seniority and prestige in the Number Gang.

Hua Fu was able to become the leader of the Number Gang today thanks to his uncle’s great contribution.

In the original drama of "Leap Forward", Lian Haolong was ready to completely break up with Hua Fu, and was about to fight Hua Fu to the end at all costs. However, it was Hua Fu who personally pushed his brother-in-law in a wheelchair and successfully made peace with Lian Haolong.

Even though Lian Haolong and Lian Haodong in the play had already set up their own businesses and had strong troops under their command, they still respected this old baby who liked to drink Coke and weighed several hundred pounds.

And his uncle, who looks 30% like Uncle Deng, looks even more like Uncle Deng because of his extremely fat body, which is not common among ordinary people.

So much so that many people speculated whether the two were related by blood.

After all, one of them is Uncle Deng and the other is Uncle Di, so they are obviously of the "uncles" generation. Their age and generation are such that the leaders of all the societies today can call them that, and their status in their respective societies is extremely high... Even if the people in this world don't have any strange associations with the "Uncle Deng Universe", it is inevitable that those who are sensitive to this will have doubts.

However, within the Number Gang, Hua Fu and a few uncles knew that Uncle Deng and Uncle Di were not really related.

It's just that we grew up together in the Wong Tai Sin area when we were young.

The fathers of both parties knew each other during their lifetime and were neighbors.

As for whether the two families had ever had an affair, Hua Fu and the others did not dare to ask.

"...You know that I went to Kowloon Park to walk my dog ​​on weekend nights? What? Are you investigating me?"

Uncle Deng sat opposite his uncle, holding a wooden cane in his hand. He still looked calm and composed, and said in a strong and old voice:
"There has been a lot of unpleasantness between our two societies recently. You asked me to have morning tea in this decades-old shop today. Is this a Hongmen Banquet?"

"Hahahahaha!" Uncle Di laughed loudly. He seemed much more lively than Uncle Deng. He shook his head and said:

"Hongmen Banquet? At our age, if they really want to kill us, why make it so complicated?"

The uncle half-jokingly mocked himself:

"When we go downstairs next time, just find a staircase and give us a gentle push from behind. We will probably be dead! It's not as troublesome as you think. What about the Hongmen Feast..."

After saying this, seeing that Uncle Deng still had that signature expression of noncommittal, and no one could tell what he was really thinking, the uncle said "damn" in dissatisfaction.

After a pause, his tone became somewhat sad:
"For old people like us who have been in the underworld for most of their lives, no matter how good we were at fighting and how powerful we were when we were young, it doesn't matter now... How we will be in our later years depends on whether the younger generations we have trained are filial!"

When he said the latter part, his uncle's expression was meaningful.

Especially the word "filial piety" adds emphasis.

"…Rules and balance are the most important." Deng Bo shook his head slightly, expressing a different opinion.

He did not argue with the other party immediately, nor did he choose to choke back like he did when he first came in, but asked directly:
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"...I heard that the new leader of you and Liansheng died again last night?" Uncle Di asked knowingly and deliberately showed a curious expression.

"It's already in the newspaper, so don't hear about it."

Deng Bo's tone was slightly cold.

"Tsk tsk tsk, if I remember correctly, in just half a year, you and Liansheng have changed three people in charge... This is the first time in the nearly 100-year history of you and Liansheng, right?" The uncle sighed.

Immediately, he stopped keeping the secret and his expression became serious:
"I've heard a lot about Gao Chao, the guy in your club who's been in the spotlight lately and is extremely popular."

"I sent someone to inquire about it, and found something very interesting... when his boss Chui Ji died, he was next to him. When Big D died, he was also next to him. Every time it happened so coincidentally, and every time he was able to get away with it. It can be said that he personally sent off the new leaders of your club for two consecutive terms. He is so powerful now, will he immediately become the leader of the next term?"

Facing the meaningful questions from my uncle.

Deng Bo remained silent.

As the chief among He Liansheng's uncles, he knew more than his younger uncle.

It's not just Chui Ji and Da D, but also A Le, Yu Tou Biao... They are either dead or in trouble now. Even if it cannot be said that they all have a direct or indirect relationship with Gao Chao, they all met with accidents after Gao Chao joined He Liansheng.

Moreover, it seemed that Yutou Biao had just wanted to cooperate with Gao Chao in selling drugs, but he was caught by the police... Drugs have always been prohibited in the territories that Gao Chao has conquered.

Although there are indeed a few societies in Hong Kong that also prohibit drug trafficking, such as Hung Hing, which has always banned its members from touching drugs, but after all, the butt still carries shit...

All of the above, taken individually, may not be significant, but when combined together, it is difficult for an old hand like Deng Bo not to think too much.

He understood his uncle's hidden meaning even more.

Whoever has a vested interest is most likely to be the murderer, and whoever is the biggest beneficiary is most likely to be the mastermind. These old-timers who have not read much may not be able to explain the relevant principles, but how could they not understand them?

"You became a gangster when you were 18 or 19 years old. You joined the gang earlier than me, so you should know what I mean... With your decades of experience in the gang, can't you see that Gao Chao is a guy?" Uncle Di knocked on the table and his voice became louder:
"It's either the police who planted the nail! It's just that he has something to hide! Even if it's not the case, how can we reuse this guy who always kills the boss?!"

"Unstable factors like this would have been cleared out long ago in our number gang!" Hua Fu also echoed the sentiment.

But he didn't notice that when he said this, Tony, who had been sitting at another table and listening silently, glanced at him with a fierce look in his eyes and a fleeting smile on the corner of his mouth turned cold.

"So you want me to use you outsiders to get rid of the people in my own society?" Deng Bo's face still showed no emotion. Under the gaze of everyone, he slowly shook his head:
"…This is against the rules and will completely upset the balance. It is our and Liansheng's own family affairs and it is not the turn of outsiders to interfere. If there are any problems, we can solve them behind closed doors."

"..."

"Let's go!" Uncle Deng stood up with some effort using his crutches, ignoring Uncle Qiang who had a struggling look on his face. The old man was obviously moved by his uncle's words.

"Uncle Deng!" Seeing that the old fat man was really going to leave without looking back, Hua Fu couldn't sit still anymore:
"The conflicts between our two societies recently were all initiated by Gao Chao! I think Da D was also instigated by him. Now that Da D is dead, do you really want to break up with us just for Gao Chao who is obviously wrong?!"

"Of course I don't want to break up with you. Once the fight starts, how many brothers will be killed or injured on both sides? Then other societies will take advantage of it." Deng Bo turned his back to Hua Fu and continued:

"...We can talk about it...but I still say that, don't mention anything that is against the rules in front of me again."

"Next time." Uncle Deng finally turned his head and looked at his uncle:
"...I'm inviting you. There's no need to bring so many people. We're just reminiscing among old brothers. Don't let the youngsters who don't know the rules come."

……

"…What does Uncle Deng mean? He's so old but still speaks in a roundabout way! Isn't he tired of it?" Hua Fu couldn't hide his dissatisfaction as he watched Uncle Deng and Uncle Qiang leave.

"Hehehe." The uncle poured himself a cup of Coke, put in a straw and took a sip, and said in the same Deng Bo style "slow and leisurely" way:

"The fact that he can come today and bring the old ghost with him speaks volumes."

"Old ghost..." Hua Ful was stunned for a moment, then he quickly figured it out and nodded.

As he had done a lot of investigations on He Liansheng recently, he naturally knew that after A Le's death, his uncle Lao Guigang had a hard time.

After all, Lao Guigang was determined to support his junior A Le.

Ah Le was also very filial to him during his lifetime.

Moreover, ever since Big D became the boss, this uncle has been avoiding Big D, fearing that he would be publicly punished by the hot-tempered Big D.

"After so many years, he still hasn't changed." The uncle's eyes seemed to be mocking, but also with a hint of emotion:
"I always like to be pretentious, and talk about rules and balance every day. But the older I get, the more reluctant I am to let go of those things in my hands. They are more important to me than anything else..."

"Just wait, he will contact me on his own initiative!" Uncle Di said with certainty. He slurped down the Coke and motioned Hua Fu to push him away.

When passing by the three brothers, the uncle in the wheelchair suddenly said:
"I know that the society asked you three brothers to go back to Vietnam, and you are resentful about it... But this is the situation within the society now. Even outsiders know that we are not united enough."

"You three brothers are not the only ones who have been targeted over the years. I hope you have the ability to change the status quo. After all, the society belongs to you young people."

"Don't worry, uncle. We didn't take what happened back then seriously!" Brother Zha touched his stubble and forced a smile on his face.

"..." Uncle Di smiled noncommittally, then turned around and asked Hua Fu in a tone that sounded like a suggestion:

"Gao Chao and Da D have seized Dinosaur's territory in Tsim Sha Tsui. If the society can take it back this time, we will have to choose a new leader. I think these three brothers are suitable. What do you think?"

"I have no objection!" Hua Fu replied quickly.

……

"The boss of Tsim Sha Tsui?" After Hua Fu and his uncle left, Ah Hu leaned forward with his muscular body and looked at his eldest and second brothers excitedly:
"It's so impressive! I heard that Tsim Sha Tsui is a lucrative place, and I'm sure I can make a lot of money. Then I can bring my mom over..."

"Don't be silly, Ah Hu!" Zha Ge interrupted, put his hand on Ah Hu's shoulder, and looked outside with a playful expression:

"A blank check means nothing. If I say I want to be the next Governor of Hong Kong, Furver will say he has no objection!"

“…Back then, our family fled from Vietnam to Hong Kong Island and were trapped in the Whitehead refugee camp. Every day was like being in prison. When we finally got ashore, we devoted ourselves to helping the Number Gang conquer the world, risking our lives. In the end, we were used up and thrown away by them.” At this time, Tony’s voice sounded slowly in the ice room.

He rarely talks, but his tone is always calm, and he seems to be more rational than Zha Ge and Ah Hu.

But those who are familiar with the three Vietnamese brothers know that Tony is not only the best fighter, but also the most ruthless one.

"Ah Hu, remember, when we come back this time, we will get anything we want by ourselves. We don't need anyone else's charity..." Tony said slowly to Ah Hu.

"Tony is right. And as for that uncle brother, I've been annoyed with him for a long time! He's already in a wheelchair, can't he just enjoy his retirement in peace? Sooner or later, his wheelchair will be replaced with a coffin!" The scum brother sneered.

At this moment, he couldn't help but recall his uncle's words "Push them down the stairs and they will die", and thought that it made sense, both convenient and labor-saving... This fat old man watched the three brothers being forced back to Vietnam by the hall leaders of the Number Gang, and he didn't say a word of justice. He has always been resentful of him in his heart.

Moreover, as long as his uncle was still alive, Hua Fu's position would remain stable, which was not what he wanted to see.

"By the way, Tony, the newspaper said that Gao Chao is now recuperating in this hospital. I think we can find another chance to kill him! The newspaper just happened to say that he was hit by more than a dozen bullets!" Brother Zha pointed to a morning paper on the table.

"...No, brother, I think this time we might as well consider joining forces with Gao Chao!" Tony suddenly said shockingly.

With a cold look on his face, he continued to analyze:

"The leaders of the Number Gang are afraid of us, and now Hua Fu and Uncle Di are afraid of Gao Chao... These people are all cowards. Even if we help them get rid of Gao Chao this time, they will still be like in the past and will not dare to use us."

"It's better to rely on Gao Chao for the time being!"

"Use Gao Chao to get rid of Hua Fu and the others, and help Gao Chao become the boss of He Liansheng. Then, with the help of He Liansheng's power and our manpower in Vietnam, we can directly swallow up the Number Gang and become the boss ourselves!"

Tony shared his plan.

He has always only looked up to the strong.

After witnessing the grand scene at the Cointreau Hotel up close last night, combined with the various reports about Gao Chao in the newspapers this morning, some exaggerated, some true, Tony felt that perhaps Gao Chao was not just a name as they initially thought, and might really be a real character.

This is how the current idea came about.

"Great..." Brother Zha has always valued and trusted his second brother who is super capable and smart, so he couldn't help but think seriously.

"Join Gao Chao? He is younger than me. The newspaper said he is less than 25 years old. What makes him my boss?" Ah Hu said unconvinced.

"Just because we are cooperating doesn't mean we really obey him. When the time is right, no matter how much benefit he has received from us, he will give it back with interest!"

Tony spoke in a grim tone, making no secret of the fact that before he had even managed to get over to Gao Chao, he had already had the idea of ​​stabbing Gao Chao in the back in the future.

Tony stared at his third brother, his voice lowered, his eyes sharp, with the aura of an eagle watching a wolf:
"Ah Hu, remember, except for mom, me, big brother and you, the rest of us are not a family. You don't have to follow any rules with them... This is how we do things!"

……

……

At a traffic light. Inside an old car.

It was Uncle Qiang who was driving. Although he was old, he drove very steadily. At this moment, he said to Uncle Deng who was sitting in the back seat of the car urgently:

"He hasn't even become the boss yet, but he already has such a big reputation. What will happen when he really becomes the boss? I'm afraid the whole society will become his one-man show!"

The 'he' that Uncle Qiang mentioned naturally refers to Gao Chao.

"Don't worry." Deng Bo was calm and composed, his eyes narrowed slightly:
"...Don't let outsiders know even if you are in a hurry."

"Not in a hurry? You are nurturing a tiger to harm yourself!" Uncle Qiang replied unhappily.

Deng Bo said nothing.

Rather than raising a tiger to cause trouble, he was also concerned about destroying the Great Wall and inviting a wolf into the house.

The current He Liansheng is too turbulent.

Gao Chao, who has become a distinctive banner of Heliansheng, plays a vital role and has a vital position.

In terms of power, after Da D, A Le and Yu Tou Biao were either defeated or imprisoned, Gao Chao was already in the first echelon of the society.

After all, there is more than one large society in Hong Kong Island. While Deng Bo has to consider eliminating Gao Chao, the hidden danger, he also has to worry about other societies taking advantage of the opportunity to infiltrate.

"Wait a little longer... wait until Big D's funeral is over before holding the election for the new leader."

Uncle Deng rubbed his brows. Having expended a lot of energy today, he felt a little tired and couldn't help but sigh that time is unforgiving.

This only made him grip the cane even tighter.

……

……

the other side.

Gao Chao called his younger brother over and pointed to several reports in the newspaper:

"After sending it back loudly, I told him to take people to put the editors-in-chief of these newspapers in sacks and beat them up, then throw them into a cesspool, and warn them to be more careful in the future. If they have any reports about me next time, they should think carefully before publishing them, otherwise I will throw them into the sea to feed the fish next time!"

"And this paparazzi, whose pen name is Li Jia Xiaoyu, not only dug deep into my gang background, but also swore in the newspaper that in addition to the robbers at the Cointreau Hotel, I had killed many people before, and my hands were full of lives... Just break one of his legs! Tell him that if he dares to write nonsense again next time, I will send someone to castrate him immediately!"

Gao Chao was very angry.

There were several reports in the newspapers that were purely smearing him. For example, one report said that the reason why there were so many casualties among the hostages at the Cointreau Hotel that night was because of the fight between Gao Chao and the robbers.

Gao Chao admitted that from an absolutely rational point of view, if he and Li Jie had not engaged in a crazy shootout with the robbers in the lobby, the casualties among the hostages would not have been so severe.

Even though the rabbit was angry and took the initiative to shoot the hostage, it was because there was a hot-headed guy shouting "Run" to lead the way.

But Gao Chao should never be the one to bear the biggest blame.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to set some rules for certain newspapers and most paparazzi in Hong Kong Island.

Let them learn a lesson and know that Brother Chao can surpass them at any time.

"I understand, Brother Chao!" The younger brother went down.

Gao Chao also calmed down and threw the newspaper aside.

He really wasn't making a fuss.

After all, once a newspaper stirs up public opinion, it has nothing to do with "rationality" anymore. What Gao Chao needs is a "meat trumpet" that is obedient enough, like most experts in his previous life, rather than a weapon of public opinion that can threaten him.

This is typified by the brothers Lao Xu, the boss of Xinji, in real life. After the two brothers entered the entertainment industry in Hong Kong Island, which newspaper would dare to report negative news about them?
Not to mention the two brothers, the beautiful star known as 'Sao Min' in the world, because she is the woman of the younger brother of the two brothers, no paparazzi dares to provoke her. After her debut, she has always had zero scandals and zero negative news.

You have to know that in that era, as long as you were popular enough, those Hong Kong entertainment reporters would make up a lot of short stories about you in a vivid way even if they didn't have any negative evidence against you.

In essence, it's just bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

……

……

Time passed quickly and it was a few days later.

A lot of things happened during this period.

First of all, it was the police who often looked for Gao Chao because of the Cointreau Hotel incident.

But with Jessica's intervention and support, the matter eventually came to nothing.

What Jessica knew was that the chief of police that night, a chief superintendent, was ready to resign.

Even though the Chief Superintendent made Li Jie bear a huge blame.

But Li Jie's current status is limited, and no matter how much blame he takes, he cannot shoulder too much responsibility for the Chief Superintendent.

The second is the media.

Gao Chao got bored after being interviewed several times and asked his younger brothers to block them all.

He only accepts interviews from a small number of reporters, such as the beautiful reporter Sissi who interviewed him last time because of the Superman Apartment incident and has the gift of [Evensian Missile].

This girl's younger brother was born with the ability to see ghosts and spirits, and is related to the evil spirit 'Chu Renmei'.

Gao Chao has now begun to miss Chu Renmei.

According to Michiko, his evil spirit whip is a growing magic weapon. The more ghosts it refines, the more powerful it becomes.

The upper limit of power is limited by the 'spiritual plants of heaven and earth' added when refining the magic weapon.

In Hong Kong Island where ghosts are hard to find nowadays, Chu Renmei is the real beauty to Gao Chao.

It is worth mentioning that Michiko is now lying in Gao Chao's arms.

The cat demon it parasitized was seriously injured after helping Gao Chao refine the evil spirit whip, and it only woke up after sleeping for two days and two nights.

On the second day of Gao Chao's hospitalization, Luo Tianhong had completed the task perfectly, and the three pieces of Russian royal jewels were now in Gao Chao's hands.

The blue-haired war wolf was obviously very grateful for the trust and attention shown by Gao Chao in this operation, and his baby face smiled a lot more in front of Brother Chao.

Gao Chao was discharged from the hospital on the third day after being hospitalized.

There was no way. As he appeared in the newspapers more and more frequently, even Fang Ting, Fang Min, Luo Huiling, Ruan Mei, Gang Sheng, Liang Guixin... they all knew about it.

The Fang sisters have always been grateful to Gao Chao for his many helps. Almost every day, they bring Luo Huiling to visit Gao Chao, cooking various nourishing soups that they have prepared themselves.

Ruan Mei also came here once.

This girl with congenital heart disease was very poor herself and was always reluctant to give money to outsiders, but she was kind-hearted and had the human touch that people of this era more or less possessed. With the encouragement and support of her grandmother, she made a lot of light pastries suitable for patients' digestion and brought them over.

As a result, on the first day, they ran into Fang Ting and Ruby who was feeding Gao Chao fruit.

And then never came again.

Gangsheng and Ruanmei are similar.

She was very diligent and skillful and had originally planned to take care of Gao Chao in the hospital until he was discharged.

But seeing so many beautiful women visiting Gao Chao in the hospital, and Ruby staying by Gao Chao's side almost 24 hours a day, he came only once and never came again.

Liang Guixin, on the other hand, didn't show anything on the surface.

However, he began to handle the legal issues related to Gao Chao's case in the Cointreau Hotel in an impartial manner.

Gao Chao saw that this was going to be disastrous if it continued.

He hasn't obtained the talents of several of these girls yet, and the conditions for unlocking them are more outrageous than the last. They are either time-consuming or too difficult. He has no reason not to pay attention to them.

So he decided to be discharged from the hospital. Late at night before being discharged, he had sex with Ruby on the hospital bed to relieve his heat.

……

Rainy.

Tsuen Wan District.

The funeral was finally held on the sixth day after Big D's death.

In fact, funerals for Hong Kong residents are not necessarily required to be held within seven days of the deceased’s death.

The specific time of the funeral can be determined according to the wishes of the family and religious or cultural customs. There is no rule that the funeral must be held before the seventh day.

For example, Chuiji was buried upright by Gao Chao and Chuiji's son 49 days after his death.

I don’t know how good my son is at blowing chicken now.

On the contrary, Gao Chao has been pretty good recently.

A memorial service is currently underway at the funeral.

Thousands of people showed up at the scene, including gangsters from Tsuen Wan District, all of whom were wearing black mourning clothes, black pants and black shoes, with heavy expressions on their faces.

In addition to He Liansheng, there were also people from other clubs who came to participate. For example, Big Brother B came with Chen Haonan, Shan Ji and others.

Han Chen also brought along Chen Yongren, Sha Qiang and several other trusted brothers to attend the event, and they lit a stick of incense for Big D with solemn expressions.

Anyway, the scale of this funeral cannot be compared to the one for blowing chicken.

The police dispatched seven or eight police cars and parked them outside the mourning hall.

There is no way around it. Thousands of community members have gathered here, and given that Hong Kong Island has already made international news because of the Cointreau Hotel incident, it is not excessive to pay more attention to it.

"Achao, thank you for running around for the funeral these two days. You are still injured..." Shao Meizhen also came, sitting in a wheelchair, pushed by Gao Chao.

This widow did not have the [Immortal God of War] to protect her, and due to the unhealed gunshot wound, she was temporarily unable to stand up.

She has become a lot thinner, which adds a bit of fragility to her cool and elegant temperament.

"Sister-in-law, we are family, so please don't say different things. In my eyes, Brother D is my half-brother." Gao Chao said while looking at the black and white portrait of Brother D.

I feel a little curious inside.

I don’t know whether Shiu Mei-chun lost so much weight because of the surgery or because of Big D’s death.

Gao Chao, who was pushing her at this time, could clearly feel how light she was.

It feels like something you can pick up with one hand and play with.

……

The funeral was halfway through.

Gao Chao suddenly received a private call.

After seeing the caller ID clearly, Gao Chao's eyes moved slightly.

It was the fishmonger Sheng whom he sent to the mainland some time ago to help Lyon solve the Maoshan issue!
What’s important is that before Mai Yusheng called, he had actually lost contact with Gao Chao for more than a week.
