Chapter 28 Is Two Million Too Much? [Seeking Follow-up Reading Recommendation]
"Mr. Jiang!"
"Mr. Jiang, you're here?"
When Jiang Tiansheng arrived, everyone in the private room stood up to greet him.
Di Qing followed beside Liang Kun and looked carefully at the leader of Hongxing.
He was wearing a gray-blue suit and a famous watch on his wrist, and he looked like a successful man.
But compared to Liang Kun, this person has a calm demeanor and a deep gaze, and others can't tell what he is thinking at all.
But Di Qing was familiar with the plot and naturally knew that Jiang Tiansheng was actually a hypocrite.
As the saying goes, a barking dog never bites, and Jiang Tiansheng is that kind of person.
"Hello everyone."
Facing the crowd's greeting, Jiang Tiansheng also smiled and said hello, then apologized, "I'm sorry there was a traffic jam on the road and kept everyone waiting for a long time."
Ding Xiaoxie was also very gentlemanly and responded with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, you are too polite. We agreed on seven o'clock, which is just the right time."
Liang Kun was a little unhappy, and thinking of what Di Qing had said before, he subconsciously said: "Mr. Jiang is also stuck in traffic? Do you drive a Mazda too?"
Jiang Tiansheng was obviously stunned for a moment and didn't understand what Liang Kun meant.
But someone behind Jiang Tiansheng hurriedly asked, "Ah Kun, what nonsense are you talking about?"
This man was also wearing a white suit and had long hair. He had a calm demeanor and the style of a scholar. He was none other than Hongxing's military advisor, Chen Yao.
Liang Kun said indifferently: "It's just a joke, Brother Yao, why are you so stingy?"
Jiang Tiansheng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, sit down and talk."
Everyone took their seats.
Ding Xiaoxie looked at Jiang Tiansheng and asked, "Mr. Jiang, do you think we should eat first or talk about business first?"
Jiang Tiansheng smiled and said, "This is your territory, you are the master, you decide."
Ding Xiaoxie nodded: "Then let's talk while we eat."
After saying that, he told the waiter to serve the food.
The waiter was also very particular. He actually served the several expensive dishes ordered by Feilong and Di Qing, and also brought a dozen bottles of Lafite, but I don't know whether they were from 1982.
But judging from the ugly faces of the Ding Xiaoxie brothers, it should not be cheap anyway.
Jiang Tiansheng and Chen Yao were a little stunned. They didn't understand what was going on and thought Ding Xiaoxie was really so particular. They couldn't help but secretly praise this boy for being open-minded.
In fact, Ding Xiaoxie was almost vomiting blood.
A meal costs more than 200,000 yuan, and he himself has never been so extravagant.
However, he couldn't show anything in front of everyone. He could only turn his heartache into appetite and pretended to be generous and invited everyone to eat.
Everyone started to move their chopsticks.
After three rounds of drinks, Ding Xiaohai took the initiative to start a conversation: "Mr. Jiang, I see that your Hongxing business has been growing bigger and bigger in recent years. Do you have any plans to expand your territory?"
Everyone's heart moved and they thought to themselves: Here it comes!
Jiang Tiansheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "Mr. Ding, you are joking. Times have changed. People who are involved in the underworld can't stay in the underworld for long. All major gangs are trying to clean up their act and get out of trouble. Our Hongxing is no exception."
"Besides, it's only been a few years since 1997, and the police are also very strict. We in Hongxing just want to hold on to our current territory and make a smooth transition."
"What's the point of having so much territory? If you stand out too much, you will become a target of the police."
Ding Xiaoxie smiled and nodded: "Mr. Jiang is right. After all, times have changed. After the return, it will probably be difficult for the society to continue its business."
Ding Xiaohai changed the subject and said, "But I heard that the Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei is also managed by you Hongxing people. Since Mr. Jiang said so, I must have heard it wrongly?"
Jiang Tiansheng heard this, glanced at Liang Kun, and shook his head, saying, "I don't know about this matter, but each of our twelve Hongxing gangs has a lot of land. I guess it must be the gang leader who expanded the territory."
Not only did Ding Xiaoxie feel stunned by these words, but Liang Kun and others also frowned.
"Snapped!"
Liang Kun put his chopsticks heavily on the table, looked at Ding Xiaoxie, and said unhappily: "Boss Ding, if you have something to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush. I, Liang Kun, am not well-educated, so I have a headache listening to you."
The meaning of Jiang Tiansheng's words is very clear, that is, this matter has nothing to do with Hongxing, it was all instigated by him, Liang Kun.
Liang Kun is not a fool, how could he not hear it?
But he couldn't lose his temper in front of others, so he could only vent his anger on Ding Xiaoxie.
Ding Xiaoxie didn't care and said calmly: "Okay, if that's the case, I'll just say it straight."
"Boss Liang Kun, Mr. Jiang has said that you Hung Hing have no intention of expanding your territory, which means that Temple Street is not your territory, and what happens in Yau Ma Tei has nothing to do with you Hung Hing." "If that's the case, then your people interfered in our Yau Ma Tei affairs, kidnapped my brother, extorted two million from him, and then used the money to clear out more than a dozen brothers from my Chung Ching Society. Isn't that unreasonable?"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Everyone put down their chopsticks and turned their eyes to Liang Kun.
Only Di Qing acted as if nothing had happened, eating and drinking as usual.
"Boss Ding, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"
"Which eye did you see when my people kidnapped and blackmailed your brother, and then asked the police to clear out your brothers?"
Liang Kun snorted coldly: "But since you brought it up, let's put the matter on the table and make it clear."
As he said that, he looked at Feilong and ordered, "Along, tell the bosses what happened last night."
"Yes, Brother Kun."
Feilong nodded, then stood up and said, "Mr. Jiang, all the bosses, the thing is, although Temple Street is not our Hongxing's territory, Tang Twelve who hangs out in Temple Street is my sworn brother."
"He told me a few days ago that he wanted to join our Hongxing, but before I could tell Brother Kun about this, something happened in Temple Street..."
"You're talking nonsense!" Before Feilong could finish his words, Ding Yixie couldn't help but interrupt him, "When did Tang Shier ever say he wanted to join your Hongxing?!"
Liang Kun frowned and looked at Ding Xiaoxie: "Boss Ding, your brother is more fierce than the Governor of Hong Kong. He won't let people speak?"
Ding Xiaoxie's face was gloomy. He turned to look at Ding Yixie and signaled him to shut up.
Feilong then continued, "I'm sure all of you bosses know about the bombing of Temple Street, so I won't talk about it."
"But last night my brother Tang Twelve came to me and said that Li Ming was responsible for this matter, so we decided to find Li Ming and make things clear."
"But just last night one of my friends came to me and said his girlfriend had been taken away and asked us to help find her."
"Human life is at stake, so I could only help my brother find his girlfriend first. But I didn't expect to find him in the Regent Hotel in Jordan, sleeping with Mr. Ding Er from Zhongqing Society..."
"You..." Hearing this, Ding Yixie couldn't help but wanted to speak again, but was interrupted by Ding Xiaoxie coldly: "Shut up!"
Ding Yixie could only shut up, grit his teeth and glare at Feilong and Di Qing, his eyes almost bursting with fire.
Feilong pretended not to see it and continued, "Later, I heard from my brother's girlfriend that she was forced by Mr. Ding Er. My brother was very angry and couldn't help but beat Mr. Ding Er up, and the matter ended there."
"Later, I heard that Li Ming was with Mr. Ding Er before, so I asked Mr. Ding Er about it. Then Mr. Ding Er told me where Li Ming was, and we decided to go look for him."
"Who knew that the police would arrive before we found the person."
"After hearing the news, we definitely didn't dare go there again. It was only this morning when we saw the news that Li Ming had been beaten to death by the police."
"My dear bosses, this is what is happening."
After Feilong finished speaking, Liangkun nodded with satisfaction and looked at Ding Xiaoxie and said, "Boss Ding, did you hear that?"
"It wasn't my people who beat your brother. It was your brother who seduced my younger brother's girlfriend first. It's a taboo to seduce your second sister-in-law in the underworld. You won't deny this, right?"
"As for what you said about me using the note to clear out your people, that's completely false!"
"Everyone in the underworld knows who I am, Liang Kun. How could I possibly cooperate with a cop?"
Ding Xiaoxie's face was gloomy, and he said, "Boss Liangkun, everyone knows what happened!"
"I have already checked the identity of that girl. She is just a hostess at the Milan Nightclub. She is not your brother's girl at all. It is obvious that your people set up a trap for my brother!"
Liang Kun said calmly, "So what if she's a prostitute? Who said my little brother's girlfriend can't be a prostitute?"
Ding Yixie couldn't help but ask, "How do you calculate the two million? Even if she is really your little brother's girlfriend, it doesn't cost two million, right? She has diamonds in her vagina, so it's that expensive?!"
Liang Kun asked in confusion: "Is this true? How come I don't know about it? Qingzai!"
Hearing Liang Kun calling him, Di Qing put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and nodded: "Yes, Brother Kun, that's true."
"Everyone knows that Sister Jiaojiao is the top star in Milan. She charges tens of thousands of yuan for every performance. Now that she has been ruined by him, she will definitely have to rest for a year or so."
"I haven't been on stage for such a long time. Living expenses, rent, nutrition expenses... Oh, and my brother's mental damages, all these add up to a huge amount. Who will compensate for this loss?"
"Besides, after something like this happens, who knows if you might get some disease?"
"Aren't the examination fees, hospitalization fees, and medical expenses money?"
"If I get pregnant accidentally, I'll have to have an abortion, and the surgery costs money!"
"It's just two million yuan for him to pay. Is that too much?"
