Hong Kong News: Rising from Kowloon Walled City

Chapter 77 Xu Ling: Sir, I am teaching you the truth!
Xu Ling nodded and said, "Since Mr. Jiang is here, he must want to talk."

"Yes."

Jiang Tiansheng clapped his hands and said with a smile:
"He Xin asked the top judicial figure in Macau, Bai Dean, to preside over this negotiation!"

Xu Ling knew that Bai Dean was a foreigner, and this was his Chinese name.

……

That night, at Peony Villa.

The leader of the Hongxing Gang is Jiang Tiansheng, and the new leader of the Macau Number Gang is Jie Shiwei.

There was also a foreigner named Bai Dean sitting on each side of the round table.

Xu Ling came over from the balcony, and Jiang Tiansheng pointed to the remaining side, motioning him to sit next to him.

"We are very dissatisfied with the recent security situation in Macau, and we invited you here today in the hope that you would sit down and have a talk.

Jiang Tiansheng immediately asked, "There is nothing going on here with the Sanlian Gang, right?"

"We have other arrangements for the Sanlian Gang members. It's better for everyone to talk. Talking is better than fighting."

Bai Dean spoke in fluent and awkward Chinese.

"Before that, you must talk it over. We don't want to see any more bloodshed."

Jiang Tiansheng nodded, looked at Jie Shiwei, whose foot was still in a cast, and asked:

"Jie Shiwei, what do you say?"

Jie Shiwei snorted coldly: "What else do you want to say? Just take back the Hongxing place."

Jiang Tiansheng smiled and said, "It's not that simple, is it?"

"Jiang Tiansheng, what do you want to do?" Jie Shiwei suddenly raised his voice.

Xu Ling frowned slightly.

It doesn't look like they are here to negotiate.

"My Hongxing place was smashed and my brothers were hacked to death. Are we just going to let it go like this?" Jiang Tiansheng asked in a deep voice.

"Mr. Jiang, if you want to settle the score, you should go to the Sanlian Gang!"

Jie Shiwei said, and then said: "Mr. Jiang, don't forget that we are also victims!"

Jiang Tiansheng suppressed his anger and said, “Jie Shiwei, I think you have no sincerity in negotiating.

Jie Shiwei snorted and laughed, and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Bai Dean knocked on the table and said:
“Mr. Jiang, now that Lei Gong is dead, I think it’s over.

Jiang Tiansheng asked coldly: "Then what do you think we should do?"

"Everything returns to the starting point, this is the principle," said Bai Dean.

Xu Ling suddenly smiled.

How can this be called negotiation?
This Bai De'an is here to take sides, he must have received bribes!
Jiang Tiansheng snorted coldly: "In that case, I think there is no need to talk about it any further."

"What? Are you threatening me or him?" Jie Shiwei asked with a smile.

Jiang Tiansheng glanced at Bai Dean and said expressionlessly:
"I did not say anything."

"Mr. Jiang, I hope you can face reality and stop provoking any more fights."

Bai Dean said in a deep voice.

"Otherwise, you will also be listed as persona non grata."

The situation was completely different from what he had imagined, and Jiang Tiansheng chose to remain silent.

"Everyone, let's go back to the time before the incident. Is there any problem?" Jie Shiwei asked.

"Of course there is a problem." Xu Ling said.

"You? Who are you?" Jie Shiwei asked dissatisfiedly.

Xu Ling ignored him, looked at Bai Dean and said slowly:

"There are only 29 people in Macau, and most of the visitors come from Hong Kong Island. You should be aware of this."

Bai Dean frowned and said, "Young man, you'd better think carefully before you speak."

Xu Ling smiled calmly and said, "You should think it over carefully!"

“The local gaming industry has developed to the point where it has become entangled with social groups.

"How can there be stability if the interests of Hong Kong communities are not taken into consideration?"

"Xu Ling, are you threatening me?" Bai Dean asked with a stern face.

"Sir, I'm teaching you the truth." Xu Ling sneered.

Seeing that he was so young and so arrogant, Bai Dean gritted his teeth and asked:
"You mean to keep fighting?"

"You said that, not me." Xu Ling shook his head and smiled.

Jie Shiwei had been observing him from the side, and suddenly something came to his mind.

Could it be that this guy led people to do the Mo Dingping incident?
Also, I heard from people from Renhetang that people from Hongxing had once gone to look for them.

Could it be this boy too?
At this time, Bai Dean lost his patience and said irritably:

"Everyone, let's go back to before the incident!"

"Yes or no, make your position clear now!"

When Jiang Tiansheng looked at Xu Ling, they both stood up at the same time and left.

Luo Tianhong, A Shui, Wu Ying and others followed immediately.

As soon as the Hongxing people left, Bai De'an immediately asked Jie Shiwei:
"What should we do? They will definitely fight!"

Jie Shiwei bit a cigar and said with an unhappy look:

"You are an official, they are thieves, what are you afraid of?
"You are a thief too." Bai Dean said sarcastically.

"But I, a thief, give you Hong Kong dollars every month!" Jie Shiwei was angry.

Bai Dean stared at him and asked in a gentle tone:

"Then what do you think we should do? I think Xu Ling is difficult to deal with."

Jie Shiwei shook his head and said, "It should be fine. You have come forward, and Jiang Tiansheng knows the pros and cons."

"It would be better if nothing else happened. The Governor and Mr. He are putting a lot of pressure on me." Bai De'an sighed.

After leaving Mudan Villa, Jiang Tiansheng was very depressed.

He thought this trip would definitely yield a good harvest, but he didn't expect that Jie Shiwei would actually bring in an official!
No wonder he has been able to stand firm in Australia for so many years, it turns out he is good at both black and white!
After taking a puff of his cigar, Jiang Tiansheng said to Xu Ling:

"A Ling, this is a bit troublesome."

"Xu Ling shook his head slightly and said, "It's not a big deal, just fight."

"Fight?" Jiang Tiansheng was surprised and questioned:
"The Sanlian Gang and the Aomen Number Gang have already fought to this extent, and you still want to fight?!"

"Mr. Jiang, I have a solution." Xu Ling chuckled.

Jiang Tiansheng thought of all the possibilities and didn't think he could come up with any solution.

With a heavy sigh, he said helplessly:

"Forget it, you take full charge of the matter here.

Xu Ling was waiting for this sentence, and nodded: "Okay."

"In addition, you will be responsible for managing the business in Macau from now on. The society will no longer be directly operated." Jiang Tiansheng said again.

This was something Xu Ling had expected.

Xu Ling looked calm and nodded, "Okay, thank you Mr. Jiang!"

Jiang Tiansheng reminded: "Ah Ling, Hong Kong Island has the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the police dare not mess around, but it's different here!"

"Mr. Jiang, don't worry, I know what's going on!"

Jiang Tiansheng nodded and said, "Okay, A Ling, just be careful. I'll leave first."

Xu Ling got out of the car and waved goodbye.

After watching Jiang Tiansheng leave, Wuying came up and asked, "Brother Ling, shall we start fighting?"

Xu Ling looked back at Mudan Villa and said, "Do we still need to do anything?"

"Let's go to the civilian village to find Yan Wang Tan..."

……

Civilian Village, the base of the Big Circle Gang.

A bunch of big circle guys were smoking and chatting in the nightclub.

Yan Wang Tan sat in a booth in the corner, the cigarette butt in his mouth flickering.

"Boss, I just don't understand." Scar on the opposite side sighed.

"Moruo Bing is dead, the Number Gang is in chaos, and the water room is in turmoil too!"

"The Renhetang gang hasn't left the house in the past few days. And the Sanlian Gang... Anyway, I think it's very weird and I don't understand it."

Yan Wang Tan took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, and said in a deep voice:
"He said three days, but it was done in less than a day."

"Ah?" Scar spread his fingers and tidied his messy hair, asking in confusion:
"Zero days? How can there be a zero day?"

"Think about it carefully. This time it was originally an alliance of four major societies. We are one of them, right?" Yan Wang Tan said.

"Yes." Scar nodded.

"But Xu Ling came to see me and didn't give me anything, so should we just stop doing anything?
Scar took a breath and said, "Yeah! Boss, it's true now that you put it that way!"

"Scar, there are even more ruthless people coming up from this Yu Qilin kid." Yan Wang Tan said, tapping the table with his knuckles.

"The night after he met me, he raided the bathroom and killed Mammoth."

"Mammoth, he's the best fighter in Macau. I've fought him before, but I couldn't beat him."

"Do you think the people from Renhetang would dare to move after seeing this situation?"

Scarface was stunned after hearing this. He thought about it and analyzed it himself:
"Then he instigated a fight between the Triple Alliance Gang and the Macau Number Gang! He just sat back and watched the fight!"

"I still can't figure out this. How did he instigate the Sanlian Gang and the Aomen Number Gang to kill each other?" Yan Wang Tan shook his head.

"This guy is so shameless!!" Scar sighed.

Yan Wang Tan pressed the cigarette butt hard into the ashtray and said through gritted teeth:
"He tricked us too! He made a promise to me and never came to see me again!"

Scar thought his words sounded a bit strange, but he didn't dare to point it out, so he just asked cautiously:

"Boss, have we been abandoned?"

"Boss, Yu Qilin is here." The younger brother at the door suddenly shouted.

Yanwang Tan and Scar turned their heads at the same time, only to see Xu Ling and his men walking in.

The guy with long arms and legs under him was still smoking everywhere.

"Boss Tan, didn't you miss me?" Xu Ling laughed loudly.

"Why would a man like me want to see you?" Yan Wang Tan stood up and said with a smile. Xu Ling laughed and came over and stretched out his hand.

Yan Wang Tan grabbed it, looked at his brothers and shouted:
"Fuck, do you know the rules? Call someone!"

"Brother Ling!"

There was a shout in the dance hall!
Xu Ling waved his hand, and seeing Scar swiftly give up his chair, he sat down with his arms and legs spread out.

Yan Wang Tan handed Xu Ling a cigar and lit it himself, then said something cryptic:
"Mr. Xu, you are really good at this."

"What kind of trick is that? Just a drizzle." Xu Ling chuckled.

"Is this just a drizzle? The world is in chaos and it's a mess."

Yan Wang Tan sighed, and then changed the subject:
"Mr. Xu, I just want to know how you provoked the internal conflict between the Aomen Number Gang and the Sanlian Gang?"

"That matter actually has little to do with me." Xu Ling said with a smile.

How could Yan Wang Tan believe it?
Then he laughed and said:

"Then stop talking nonsense and get down to business!"

"You must think I tricked you, right?" Xu Ling asked with a smile.

"How could that be? I know you are a loyal and law-abiding person, brother!" Yan Wang Tan said proudly.

Scar, who was standing, glanced at him secretly and thought to himself that that was not what he said just now.

"That's good."

Xu Ling tapped his cigarette on the edge of the jar and said loudly:
"I promised that as long as you help me, I will give you 10% of the shares of the place we take over this time.

"Now is the time. As for the two casinos I promised you, my lawyer is busy these days. He will come the day after tomorrow and sign the contract when he arrives."

"This time, we must hit harder!"

Yan Wang Tan is not stupid either. He knows that all the casinos in Hongxing are closed now.
What’s more important is that he is now tied to Xu Ling’s chariot and can only listen to Xu Ling.

After figuring it out, he asked tentatively:

“Thunder God is dead, you definitely won’t ask me to fight the Tri-Union Gang.

"So, you want me to call the Macau number?"

"What? Are you scared?" Xu Ling asked coldly.

"Afraid? My last name is Tan, but I don't even know how to write the word afraid!" King Tan sneered.

"Okay then, let's fight." Xu Ling said simply.

"Don't be impatient!" Yan Wang Tan waved his hand and asked:

"You can ask me to fight you! How many matches can you win?"

"That depends on how hard you fight." Xu Ling said with a smile.

Yan Wang Tan tried hard to suppress his excitement and said calmly, "Well, let's fight.

Xu Ling said "hmm", stood up and said: "Then I will wait for your news."

Yan Wang Tan stood up and escorted them out the door.
After watching them get on the car and leave, he pressed his fingers together until they made a crackling sound and gritted his teeth and ordered:
"Gather the men! Prepare the weapons! Get started!
In the van, Wuying laughed and said:
"Brother Ling, 10% of the shares in exchange for them going to fight against the Macau Number Gang, it's a good deal."

"You only think about this fight?" Xu Ling asked.

"Then what else?" Wuying was puzzled.

Luo Tianhong patted his shoulder and said with a smile:

"Is it so easy to get this 10% stake?"

"No matter how much, if you get the shares, you are still the boss. If there is something in the future, you can't go there?"

……

That night, in the old town of Macau.

A medium-sized gambling hall was packed with people.

There is not a single idle slot machine in the neatly arranged rows. Gamblers are waiting for luck to come and try their luck.

Sudden!
A large group of people armed with sticks and even shovels broke into the house.

Some of them smashed slot machines and other gambling equipment, while others identified their targets and beat them up.

Amid the constant exclamations, the casino was in chaos.

At the same time, Taipa Island.

A famous nightclub owned by Jie Shiwei.

Several motorcycles stopped suddenly in front of the gate, and the people in the back seats of each motorcycle quickly jumped out.

He took out a glass bottle from his bag while walking towards the door.

There was a flash of fire, and several Molotov cocktails were ignited one after another, then they drew arcs in the air and fell straight into the hall.

With a series of crackling sounds, a fire broke out in the nightclub.
A total of eight similar incidents occurred that night.

When Jie Shiwei received the news, he had just escaped an assassination attempt and was driving towards the old city.

"What? Eight places were smashed? And they set fire? Fuck you, how do you do things?"

After hanging the phone, Jie Shiwei's eyes lit up frighteningly.

The two gunmen just now must be from the Triple Gang, but the ones who caused the trouble probably weren't.

The Sanlian Gang did not have enough manpower to smash eight venues in a short period of time.

So... it's Jade Qilin?
I thought of the arrogant young man I met at Mudan Villa.

Jie Shiwei gritted his teeth, picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hey! I almost got killed just now! My eight places were smashed! You decide what to do!"

……

The next day, Macau media reported the looting and arson that had occurred the previous night.

It was also pointed out that all these venues were owned by Jie Shiwei and were suspected to be related to community fights.

The head of the Austrian and Portuguese police also publicly stated that they would crack down severely!
But that night, nine cases suspected to be related to gang fights occurred.

For a while, the Portuguese and Macao police were running around, busy and exhausted...

……

Late at night, on a gambling boat in the open sea.

Jie Shiwei was furious, but he forgot that his foot was still in a cast and sat down grimacing in pain.

Bai Dean, who was standing next to him, felt sorry for him and shook his head, saying, "Anyway, there's nothing I can do."

"You...is this what you call human language?" Jie Shiwei said, suppressing his anger.

"You are the number one in the judicial system! How can you not have a solution?"

"My place was raided by them repeatedly! More than a hundred of my men were injured by them!
"Is there still the king's law? Is there still law?"

"So I think... let's talk about it again." Bai Dean suggested.

"Let's talk! Talking now wouldn't that mean I'm showing weakness? Am I still afraid of him, Yu Qilin?" Jie Shiwei said angrily.

"I don't care whether you're scared or not. I just know that I can't go on like this."

Bai Dean said.

"What happened in the past few days has alarmed the Governor and Mr. He. You should know what this means, right?"

Jie Shiwei gritted his teeth, gritted his teeth, gritted his teeth again, and finally said through gritted teeth:
"Then arrest him! Wouldn't it be peaceful if you arrest him?"

"Catch someone? Where do you want me to catch him?" Bai Dean spread his hands and frowned.

"Don't you know the style of the big circle boys? After committing a crime, they run back to their hometown! The police can't catch them even if they want to!"

Jie Shiwei slammed his cane to the ground and said through gritted teeth:
"Then catch that Hongxing kid! He must be behind this!"

"What crime should I arrest him for?"

"What evidence can I use to accuse him? Because he is arrogant? Because he is handsome?" Bai Dean asked.

Jie Shiwei was so shocked that he was speechless.

"Jie Shiwei, I think you should think about why even the Daquan Gang is doing things for him?" Bai Dean reminded.

"Fuck, how the hell would I know!" Jie Shiwei roared.

"It's useless to get emotional, Jie Shiwei, let's talk." Bai De'an took a puff of his cigar.

He let the smoke swirl in his mouth for a while before exhaling, then said:
"Well, I've thought about it for you."

"Talk to the water room and give them what they deserve, and give some to the casinos."

"If we don't consider the interests of Hong Kong's communities, what stability can we talk about?"

"Which side are you from? Did they give you money?" Jie Shiwei asked in a deep voice.

"I am here to talk to you on orders. Both the Governor and Mr. He hope that Macau will not continue to be in chaos."

Bai Dean stared at Jie Shiwei and said.

Jie Shiwei took a puff of his cigar and closed his eyes.

Bai De'an smoked a cigar and waited for him patiently.

About two minutes later, Jie Shiwei sighed and said weakly, "Let's talk."

……

Cointreau International Hotel, 15th floor.

Looking out through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the endless sea.

Xu Ling brought Luo Tianhong and Wuying into the room.

When Bai Dean saw him coming, he took the initiative to stand up, stepped forward and stretched out his hand, saying:

"Everyone, I really hope that everyone can have a successful discussion today!"

"I think so too." Xu Ling chuckled.

When Jie Shiwei heard this, he coughed lightly and said nothing.

"Jie Shiwei, is your leg okay?" Xu Ling asked as he sat down.

"He won't be disabled. He will be able to fully recover in a few days." Jie Shiwei said with a hint of meaning.

Xu Ling smiled and said, "You still have to be careful. If you fall and bump into something again one day, it will be bad if you get new injuries on top of the old ones."

Jie Shiwei turned his head to look at him and suddenly felt a toothache.

This guy is not even inferior to others in a verbal battle!
He said impatiently:
"Tell me, what do you want?"

Xu Ling stretched out her hand to block the cigar handed over by Bai Dean, declined it politely, and then said:

"You were the one who asked me to come. You should speak."
