Chapter 337 Are you getting senile?
As he spoke, Lin Zehao picked up the Marlboro cigarette on the table, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then picked up the pure gold Dupont lighter and lit it.
As the smoke dissipated, his entire body was shrouded in smoke, making it difficult to see his expression.
Lin Zehao picked up the letter on the table, glanced at it casually, and threw it aside.
"If I remember correctly, Hunchback Hua should be in his sixties. It seems that even his grandson is married?"
Li Wenbin nodded and said, "Brother Hao remembers correctly. His grandson got married some time ago and sent someone to deliver the invitation. You also sent someone to give gifts."
Given Lin Zehao's current status, many people would be honored to invite him to attend.
Moreover, in addition to the face-saving bonus, it also has many practical meanings.
So, after realizing this, many people tried to send invitations to Lin Zehao.
Anyway, an invitation doesn’t cost much, and Hutchison doesn’t prohibit these things. If you are lucky enough to invite Lin Zehao to attend, it will really change your destiny.
It is no exaggeration to say that Hutchison House now receives at least dozens of invitations every day.
"We are all from Hutchison Whampoa, so let's give him some face."
"Give him a reply and tell him I'll be there."
Lin Zehao exhaled a puff of smoke, his dark eyes narrowed slightly, flashing a captivating light, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Understood, Brother Hao."
Li Wenbin responded and turned around to make sure it was done.
Having followed Brother Hao for such a long time, although he could not understand the deep meaning of his boss many times, he knew that Brother Hao had a pair of eyes that could see through all vanity.
Those who try to take advantage of their own bosses always end up in a miserable situation.
A Mai and Luo Tianhong looked at each other and immediately began to arrange for accompanying security.
As the chief and deputy chief of the security team, their only and most important responsibility is to protect Brother Hao's personal safety at all times and anywhere!
Now, Lin Zehao's life and death is no longer just about the people around him.
The entire Hutchison, including those secretly controlled societies, has a total of nearly 100,000 people.
And this does not include the employees of Hutchison Holdings.
If all the subordinates who depend on Lin Zehao for their livelihood are added together, the conservative estimate is around 200,000 people.
And behind every employee, there is a family!
By this calculation, the number of people that Lin Zehao can directly or indirectly influence is definitely more!
Therefore, although the positions of Ama and Luo Tianhong seem insignificant, the responsibilities they have to bear are heavier than Mount Tai!
"I've asked Aji and the others to check where New World Development stores its gold. I'm sure we'll have the answer soon."
"Ah Qiang, when the time comes, you will take a team of absolutely reliable brothers with you, and also ask A Zu to come along."
"Remember, this operation must be kept absolutely confidential. No information can be leaked. Do you understand?"
Lin Zehao put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and spoke in a magnetic voice with a calm tone, making people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.
But the content of the conversation made Chen Guoqiang and Yang Chengrong, big brothers who had seen a lot of the world with their boss, feel a little cold.
Today's Chen Guoqiang and Yang Chengrong are no longer the low-level guys who knew nothing and only knew how to kill people with machetes.
After following my boss for such a long time, I have learned a lot and grown a lot.
Of course they knew that the most important and valuable thing for a gold shop was the warehouse where the raw materials were stored.
Generally speaking, gold shops will store these raw materials in bank vaults or vaults of well-known insurance companies.
Only a small number of gold shops choose to keep the gold themselves.
Whether it is a bank or an insurance company, the defense of the vault is extremely strong.
After all, this is what they specialize in, and ordinary weapons really can't break through.
"Understood, Brother Hao."
Chen Guoqiang responded, then thought for a while and asked, "But we are good at fighting, but we have no experience in destroying the vault door..."
Hearing this, Lin Zehao smiled, and he smiled very happily.
After a while, he stroked his beard and said, "You will never imagine how conceited Zheng Yutong is."
"He actually chose to keep the company's gold for himself."
"However, he found many places to hide, and our intelligence department only found the approximate location of one of them."
Hearing these words, Chen Guoqiang and Yang Chengrong subconsciously looked at each other and saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.
"A guy who couldn't even handle a group of provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers actually chose to keep the gold for himself. I really don't know whether I should praise him or criticize him."
Yang Chengrong sighed and said that he was indeed shocked by Zheng Yutong's choice.
Chen Guoqiang also said disdainfully: "Maybe he just wants to save a lot of management fees every day. It's not surprising that a guy who was only willing to pay 10,000 silver coins for the funeral expenses of his workers who died in the line of duty would do anything to save money."
Lin Zehao nodded and said, "Arong, you come with me to set up the stage."
Yang Chengrong nodded without hesitation and said, "Understood, Brother Hao."
After making all arrangements, all the subordinates received the order and began to convey and execute it seriously.
Lin Zehao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the world. The whole world seemed to be contained in his dark eyes.
……
Fei Kee Tea House, Ngau Tau Kok, Kwun Tong
The teahouse is decorated in a simple and rustic style, which reflects a return to nature.
The three-story teahouse, which was bustling in the past, is now very deserted.
There was only one table of guests upstairs and downstairs.
In the huge box, there was a table placed in the middle, with only two people sitting at it, and both of them were sitting in second seats.
The main seat in the middle was empty and no one dared to touch it.
One was Zheng Yutong, who was wearing a light gray suit. He had a gloomy face and kept raising his arm to look at the time on his wrist.
Zheng Jiachun, the eldest son, was standing obediently behind him.
"Uncle Hua, we agreed to meet at nine in the morning, but it's already ten-eight, and Lin Zehao still has no intention of showing up."
"I offended him, and he left me alone. I accept it."
"But considering your status in the martial arts world, you are definitely a man of high moral character and prestige. It's a bit inappropriate for a young man like Lin Zehao to ignore you like this, isn't it?"
Zheng Yutong's words made the already somewhat dissatisfied hunchback Hua look a little ugly, but he did not vent his anger, but just suppressed his anger and said calmly: "It's normal. In today's society, seniority is no longer respected."
"Whoever has the bigger fist has the right to speak."
"You don't have to sow discord in this way. Wei Longhao and I both have the same Chinese character for "和", so we are considered a family."
Hunchback Hua was wearing a black Tang suit, his hair was grey, and he was holding a wooden cane in his hand. Judging from the patina on the cane, it was obviously quite old.
Following behind him were two younger brothers from Hehetu, who looked quite strong.
Although he was also very dissatisfied in his heart, he was an old hand after all, so he would not express his dissatisfaction with Wei Longhao in front of Zheng Yutong, an outsider.
Looking at the entire development history of the Hutchison group, Hetu is definitely the originator!
The first hall established among the Heji group is Hehetu!
Even the current leaders of Hutchison Whampoa, Shing Wo, were founded below the combined chart.
Therefore, relying on this identity, Hunchback Hua has always been able to get along well in the underworld, and everyone in Hutchison also respects him.
Over time, he developed a style of likes to get involved in everything.
Unfortunately, among the Hutchison Whampoa groups now, Wo Shing Wo is the strongest, while Wo Hop Tu is not even in the middle.
Even though Hunchback Hua was unhappy, he couldn't change the reality.
"Last time, when my grandson got married, Wei Longhao even sent someone to give me a gift!"
Whenever he talked about this incident, Hunchback Hua would subconsciously straighten his body, with pride written all over his face.
It seemed that the hunchback that had accompanied him all his life, almost congenitally, had completely disappeared at this moment.
"Uncle Hua's status in the underworld is indeed high, but judging from Wei Longhao's performance, it seems that he doesn't respect you that much."
"Otherwise, he would never be late for an hour..."
After Zheng Yutong finished speaking, Zheng Jiachun behind him couldn't help but want to whisper in agreement. At this moment, the door of the box was pushed open. At least a dozen sturdy men wearing black suits with golden silk threads embroidered with dragons and phoenixes on their left chests entered one after another.
They are arranged on both sides in an extremely regular formation.
Then, Lin Zehao, wearing a high-end Italian custom-made black suit and a black coat, walked in with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.
A Mai and Luo Tianhong followed closely behind, and finally Li Wenbin and Yang Chengrong, as well as the security team members at the rear.
Lin Zehao's hair was neatly combed back without a single strand left out. He had a Cuban cigar in his mouth, and a corner of bright red was exposed from the handkerchief bag on his left chest, which served as a perfect embellishment.
"I just heard someone say I was late?"
"I just promised to come today. Did I say what time I must arrive?"
"Besides, am I in the habit of arriving early?"
Lin Zehao narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.
Although the voice was not loud and the tone was not strong, to the ears of everyone in the room it sounded like thunder from the sky, causing them to subconsciously lower their heads and not dare to look him in the face.
Especially Zheng Jiachun, she had lowered her head as low as she could, and she was just about to find a hole to crawl into.
When he first heard about Lin Zehao's deeds, he was filled with dissatisfaction, thinking that the other party was just a lucky guy and that he must be better than the other party!
However, when they actually met now, Zheng Jiachun found that she didn't even have the courage to look Lin Zehao in the eye.
At this moment, the aristocratic education he had received since childhood was of no use at all.
Before this, everything Zheng Jiachun was proud of seemed worthless in front of Lin Zehao.
He even clearly noticed that Lin Zehao's gaze did not stay on him, even for half a second.
Even Zheng Yutong, who has been in the business world for a long time, couldn't help but break out in a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.
He quickly winked at Hunchback Hua, signaling him to come out and smooth things over.
You know, Hunchback Hua offered 600,000 yuan before agreeing to mediate!
This sum of money must not be wasted.
Hunchback Hua naturally understood what Zheng Yutong meant. He turned around, cleared his throat, put his hands on his crutches, and said in a very pretentious manner, deliberately raising his voice, "Zehao, although Boss Zheng was wrong first, you were late for such a long time. Give Uncle Hua some face and let it go..."
“Everyone is…”
Before Hunchback Hua could finish his words, Yang Chengrong pulled out the dagger from his waist and stuck it on the table!
In an instant, the sharp dagger was like chopsticks poking tofu, the entire blade disappeared into the body, leaving only the handle wrapped in black cloth exposed outside.
"Old man! I give you face and call you Uncle Hua. If I don't give you face, who are you?"
"Are you qualified to call me the boss by my name?"
"You old asshole, have you drunk too much?"
Yang Chengrong's words immediately made the scene quiet, and the younger brother of Hehetu at the side subconsciously wanted to step forward.
Upon seeing this, Hutchison's younger brother said nothing, but lifted up his suit, revealing the handle of a high-powered black Browning gun. His eyes were full of clear warnings.
Ah Mai snorted coldly and said, "Who is not afraid of death? Just try to move?"
Hearing this, none of Hehetu's younger brothers dared to move. They subconsciously swallowed their saliva and dared not move.
When these people went out, at most they carried some daggers or something like that. As weapons, they only had three pistols in total.
On the other hand, almost everyone in Hutchison has a gun. How can they fight a battle with such a huge disparity in the gap?
They have the courage to kill people.
To commit suicide is another matter.
Yang Chengrong's sudden outburst made Zheng Yutong stunned. He didn't expect that the person he had worked so hard to find would not take him seriously at all.
As a businessman, he still has some vague understanding of Lin Zehao's status in the world.
Even after inquiring and investigating, Cheng Yutong still couldn't fully understand what the youngest leader in the history of the four major social organizations in Hong Kong Island represented.
And what weight do these three seemingly simple words, Weilonghao, actually hold?
As for the hunchback Hua, his face turned blue and white, his chest heaved violently, and he made muffled groans, as if he could die at any time.
He has always been very concerned about his reputation, and he dared not imagine how people in the entire world would look at him if this incident today were to be spread.
Thinking of this, although Hunchback Hua did not dare to make any big moves, he still turned his head and looked at Lin Zehao, questioning him with anger, "Wei Longhao!"
"According to the rules of the martial arts world, I am here today to put up this stage to turn hostility into friendship!"
"Your subordinate doesn't know the rules. You, as the boss, haven't spoken yet, so how can he have a say?"
"You must give me an explanation for this matter!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Zehao laughed, and laughed very happily.
Seeing this, Li Wenbin and others followed their boss's footsteps and laughed happily.
"Explain?"
"I worked my way up from a parking stall to where I am today, and no one has ever dared to ask me for an explanation!"
"Are you old and confused? Who do you think you are to dare to come out and set up a stage?"
Lin Zehao held the cigar between two fingers, pointed his fingers in the air, and slowly walked to the hunchback Hua.
"What qualifications do you have to sit in front of me and talk?"
"Do you really think it's 1884?"
"To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the fact that we both belong to Hutchison, you wouldn't even be qualified to see me!"
At this moment, facing Lin Zehao's powerful aura, Hunchback Hua was subconsciously speechless, his brain went blank and he couldn't speak at all.
The next second, he was grabbed by the collar by Yang Chengrong and lifted up from the stool.
"Didn't you hear what Brother Hao said? Go after your mother!"
"Remember, you have no right to sit and talk where Brother Hao appears!"
Lin Zehao raised his arms and his coat fell off, but was immediately caught by the younger brother behind him.
Another younger brother pulled out the main seat's chair and sat on it with a burning cigar in his mouth.
Lin Zehao glanced at the hunchbacked Hua who was swaying constantly and said, "You don't know how to stand or sit properly. How can you act like a senior?"
Then he turned his attention to Zheng Yutong.
At this moment, Zheng Yutong was completely frightened. He had never expected that things would develop like this.
In his opinion, communities should also adhere to the principle of harmony and wealth creation, just like doing business.
How come before he could even say a few words, the hunchback Hua, who claimed to be a veteran in the underworld, was picked up by Lin Zehao's men like a chicken and made to stand aside as punishment?
Until this point, even if Zheng Yutong didn't want to admit it, he was very clear that he looked down on Lin Zehao.
From the very beginning, he underestimated the enemy and had no intention of investigating his background. He was even too lazy to make a phone call and always maintained the attitude and airs of a senior.
This led to the fact that when the accident first happened, the correct attitude was not adopted to deal with it.
Next, I was still angry, which led to one wrong step and then another!
If God could give Zheng Yutong another chance, he would definitely fight like a lion against a rabbit with all his strength!
What's more, judging from his current posture, he may not necessarily be a lion.
After realizing this, Zheng Yutong took a deep breath, suppressed his inner fear, and said: "Mr. Lin, I..."
Before he could finish, Lin Zehao raised a finger, signaling him to shut up.
He took a deep breath, feeling the aroma flowing in his mouth, and then exhaled.
"Boss Zheng, I have always been a person who respects others one foot and I respect them one foot."
"I gave you a chance before, but unfortunately, you rejected my kindness."
"Now……"
Before Lin Zehao could finish, the hunchback Hua who was standing at the side interrupted him and said tremblingly: "As the saying goes, killing is not enough, so you should show mercy when you can. You..."
Before he could finish, his body staggered and leaned uncontrollably to the left, with panic written all over his face.
