"Our Tianyao Society is just starting out, and we'll need Mr. Lei and others to give us some pointers on the rules of Hong Kong!"
Lei Yaoyang didn't respond, but instead winked at one of his brothers.
The man nodded, slowly stood up, and wandered around the area casually, seemingly just strolling around, but actually scouting the place.
There was a moment of silence in the private room. Liang Jihai sensed that the atmosphere was a bit off, coughed, and then casually said:
"I've heard that Mr. Lei is in charge of Kowloon, and we've been making some small moves lately. I hope we haven't offended anyone!"
Lei Yaoyang then stubbed out his cigarette and slowly spoke:
"Your area is bustling with logistics and nightclubs!"
"Not at all!" Liang Jihai quickly replied with a smile.
"It's only somewhat related!"
"Then why didn't you come and ask about Dongxing?" Lei Yaoyang looked at him, his tone still calm.
“This…” Liang Jihai looked somewhat embarrassed.
"Our boss said that in Kowloon right now... isn't anyone making any moves?"
"Does the fact that no one is making a move mean we can do whatever we want?"
"That's not what I meant, absolutely not!" Liang Jihai waved his hands repeatedly, sweat beading on his forehead.
Lei Yaoyang didn't say anything more, but raised his hand and waved, signaling the others to continue drinking.
The brothers drank and chatted as usual, and no one brought up serious matters anymore, making the atmosphere even stranger.
They drank for almost an hour, but no one mentioned the cooperation. Liang Jihai's face was almost frozen from smiling.
He had hoped to get a lead on Tung Sing through this meeting, but he didn't get a single clue.
At 10 p.m., Lei Yaoyang got up, said "I've had enough to drink," and left, making sure to settle the bill before he left.
Liang Jihai stood at the door seeing people off, his smile more like a grimace.
Not long after they left, He Xigui called Xu Lang.
"...Lei Yaoyang is back. He said that guy surnamed Liang lacked confidence, and the security at the venue was also mediocre. When the brothers went in, no one dared to even glance at them!"
Xu Lang nodded without saying anything.
“Oh, right,” He Xigui added.
"Liang Jihai said tonight that his boss had something come up and couldn't come, but actually Yuan Tianyao was upstairs and had arrived a long time ago."
The guys saw him on the security camera; he never came downstairs!
"I chickened out!"
Xu Lang said calmly.
"This person dares not come to see (Li Zhao) because he is unsure of himself."
He thinks he can get away with just hiring a few seasoned veterans to put on a show?
Hong Wentong said from the side.
"They're so young!"
"Tenderness is not a problem!"
Xu Lang spoke calmly.
"The problem is he's too hasty!"
"He just arrived in Hong Kong Island and he's already trying to steal our business, using logistics terminals, sand and gravel auctions, and nightclubs to undermine our foundation... If he were really smart, he would have waited six months before making his move, and we wouldn't have been able to detect it!"
Chapter 571 All Models Switch to Hiring
"such a pity!"
"So what's next?" the judge asked.
"Don't rush to move!" Xu Lang leaned back in his chair and slowly closed his eyes.
"Let him do more things and expose more flaws."
He wants to expand into nightclubs, logistics, and sand and gravel—we'll see how he does it!
"We're not just sitting here doing nothing!"
Hong Wentong said in a low voice.
"I've already sent people over to talk to several sand and gravel suppliers in West Kowloon. We can try to lower the price, even if it means losing money, let's see if they can hold out!"
"Find a few more triads we have some connections with, and spread the word—Tianyao Society is going to take over Kowloon. Just wait for those 570s to jump out and have tea with Yuan Tianyao!"
"I enjoy seeing others get bitten by their own people!"
Xu Lang slowly opened his eyes.
"Tell Tiger Dami to make his men 'accidentally' slow down the sand and gravel transport line in West Kowloon for the next few days!"
"Let others think that we can't manage it all!"
"Then……"
"I'll go see him in person one more time!"
Xu Lang stood up, a cigarette between his fingers that he hadn't lit, but his eyes were already cold.
"I refuse to believe that this guy surnamed Yuan can keep his composure forever!"
On the morning of the third day, Xu Lang arrived at the Dongxing headquarters as usual. As soon as he pushed open the office door, the day's report materials and personnel arrangements were already laid out on the table.
Hong Wentong worked overtime until midnight last night, compiling a list of the latest developments of each branch.
The judge, standing to one side, was flipping through the weekly reports submitted by the brothers. The figures were just for reference; what was truly valuable were the accompanying notes—the private gossip and rumors among the lower-ranking brothers of each gang, which were the things that could not be ignored.
After reading the document, Xu Lang didn't rush to speak. He picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then threw a record sheet with the words "Delay in Sand and Gravel Plant Transportation" on it onto the table.
"Tiger Dami made a move?"
“It started yesterday afternoon!” Hong Wentong answered fluently.
"He dispatched two vehicles to specifically block the warehouse entrance in North Kowloon, making the loading of materials there extremely slow. Some members of the Tin Yiu Society have already started spreading rumors (BFEA) that we, Tung Sing, are scared and are hiding in our own territory!"
"Did they think we were making way?" Xu Lang asked, then chuckled to himself.
The judge closed the documents, looked down at Xu Lang, and spoke calmly.
"The people from Tianyao Society seem to have some confidence. They not only run nightclubs and transport sand and gravel, but they also rented an entire building in Tongluo, claiming to be running a cultural media company. In reality, they are just using the guise of performing arts to run illegal gambling operations."
They just arrested a girl named "Xiangxiang" who used to hang out at nightclubs in our area, and she's already disappeared!
“This guy used to work for Situ Haonan!” He Xigui said, flipping through his notebook.
"She's not famous, but she's very shrewd and has connections in nightclubs. She's definitely being targeted!"
"What's the name of this media company?" Xu Lang asked.
“Call it Tianyao Image!” Hong Wentong replied.
"Find a few people to apply for the jobs!" Xu Lang gently put down his teacup.
"It just so happens that some of the cousins of some of our brothers from the escort modeling agencies around here are practicing their speaking and catwalk skills. Let them go and take a look!"
"And then?" The judge glanced at him.
"Go and see what they're up to. Are they just after money, or are they trying to find dirt on other people?" Xu Lang said in a low voice.
"If it's the latter, then let them experience what it's like to be exposed!"
He Xigui nodded immediately, turned around and went out to arrange manpower.
At 10 a.m., Lei Yaoyang returned to the main hall from Kowloon, his face bearing a faint trace of anger.
Chapter 572 Tianyao Loses Financing
As soon as he entered, he slammed the documents in his hand onto the table. The documents contained photos taken last night at the entrance of Ye Yao Tian Guang—several henchmen in Tian Yao Hui uniforms openly blocked the representatives of two small gangs at the entrance, acting arrogantly and saying that the people from Dong Xing dared not come, and that Kowloon was now Tian Yao Hui's territory.
“If the brothers below hear this, they’ll definitely cause trouble!” Lei Yaoyang said.
Xu Lang didn't reply, but just looked at the photos for two seconds.
"Did you send people to block their warehouse?"
“It was arranged last night!” Hong Wentong replied.
“Our people changed the dispatch schedule at the Kowloon West freight station, causing several suppliers’ trucks to temporarily change their routes.”
Their turnover rate is now halved, but they're not completely paralyzed yet!
“If we delay a few more days, they’ll get anxious!” the judge interjected.
"It's good that you're in a hurry!" Xu Lang stared at the photo, his fingers slowly tapping the table.
"The more you rush, the more likely you are to make mistakes!"
Around noon, Tiger Dami personally came to the main hall to report.
He had just come from Kowloon West and was still covered in sweat.
"Brother Lang, my men have already started a direct confrontation with them. That dispatch supervisor over there is a fool who dared to call our men spineless!"
Xu Lang didn't look at him, but asked in a low voice:
Did they take action?
"Almost!" Tiger Dami sat down and put a cigarette in his mouth.
"I held back!"
"Well done!" Xu Lang nodded.
"It's not that we're afraid of trouble, it's that we don't want to give them a chance to shine!"
“These people are just waiting for us to make a move so they can take the opportunity to make noise in Hong Kong, saying that Tung Sing is suppressing its competitors and engaging in monopolistic practices.”
As long as we hold them down, they won't be able to retaliate!
Tiger Dami scratched his head, a little unconvinced, but still gritted his teeth and nodded.
At 3:30 p.m., He Xigui returned with news from the group of girls who applied for jobs at "Tianyao Image".
