Chapter 257: Chuen Bo is an Old Fox
"You scared the hell out of me!"
Uncle Chuan Bao ran to Big D's side, letting out a long sigh of relief.
"Ah Le had a murderous look on his face; I suspect I might have accidentally stayed there just now."
Big D's eyes widened, and he looked at Uncle Chuan Bao with ill intent:
"Ah Le's place is dangerous? And my place isn't dangerous?"
Uncle Chuan Bao nodded solemnly:
"Exactly."
Big D almost died of anger:
"Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
Uncle Chuan Bao shook his head repeatedly:
"Nonsense. If you were easy to bully, then Wo Luen Shing wouldn't have any kind people left."
Big D wondered:
"Then what were you just saying?"
Uncle Chuan Bao still felt lingering fear:
"Ah Le is not right!"
Big Ds Wife brought over some fruit:
"Uncle Chuan Bao, have some grapes to calm your nerves."
Uncle Chuan Bao forced a smile:
"How would I dare to eat them?"
Big D got angry:
"You come here and just say a bunch of nonsensical things. Eat if you want, if not, then scram!"
Big Ds Wife patted him:
"Mr. Lui!"
Big D said as if it were obvious:
"Look at him. He's here as a guest, but he can't even explain one thing properly."
"We ask him why, and he acts like he knows nothing."
"What is this if not making fun of us?"
Uncle Chuan Bao was stunned:
"Didn't I make myself clear?"
Big D and Big Ds Wife both shook their heads.
Uncle Chuan Bao forced a smile:
"That Ah Le almost scared the hell out of me."
"Ah Le came to find me today, saying he wanted to discuss something with me."
"He gave me a lot of money."
Uncle Chuan Bao actually pulled out all the rolls of money.
"Here, it's all this."
"This is all money!"
Big D looked at Uncle Chuan Bao, puzzled:
"That's a lot, isn't it? Must be around four hundred thousand?"
Uncle Chuan Bao nodded:
"Yes, four hundred thousand."
Big D immediately became interested:
"When did Ah Le become so generous?"
"This money is enough to elect a Chairman."
"I'm very interested to know what Ah Le wants to do."
Uncle Chuan Bao was silent for a moment, then said:
"Ah Le said he wants to remove Chui Gei."
Big D laughed heartily:
"Great minds think alike! That good-for-nothing Chui Gei can be a Chairman, it's no wonder Ah Le thinks that way."
Uncle Chuan Bao became even more silent.
Big D waited for a long time without Uncle Chuan Bao replying, so he asked:
"Why aren't you speaking?"
Uncle Chuan Bao spoke truthfully:
"I'm wondering if coming to you was the right decision."
Big D was furious:
"Are you saying I can't protect you?"
Uncle Chuan Bao sighed:
"You definitely have the strength to protect me, but I'm worried you might be deceived..."
With Big D's understanding, how did he manage to make Tsuen Wan completely his?
Uncle Chuan Bao was completely baffled.
Big Ds Wife smiled:
"Uncle Chuan Bao, our Big D is about to switch affiliations."
"For you to come over, it shows respect for our Mr. Lui."
"If you find it difficult to speak, we won't force you."
Uncle Chuan Bao immediately softened:
"Sister-in-law is right."
"Ah Le not only wants to depose Chui Gei, but he also wants to take the position himself."
Big D shrugged:
"Anyone with strength in this line of work wants to be Chairman, don't they?"
"I have Tsuen Wan completely under my control, but I can't even decide what to operate in Tsuen Wan."
"Only by becoming Chairman is there a way out."
"Heh, if you guys don't give me a way to live, I'll go to Hung Hing."
"Lam Wai Lok is impatient, isn't he?"
Uncle Chuan Bao shook his head:
"What each hall operates is decided by the Uncles."
Big D glared at him:
"Aren't you an Uncle?"
Uncle Chuan Bao said honestly:
"The one who makes decisions among the Uncles is Uncle Deng, not me."
Big D was speechless:
"You're right about that."
Wo Luen Shing has many Uncles, but only one makes the decisions—Uncle Deng.
You can't argue with that.
Big D laughed:
"Ah Le wants to depose Chui Gei. As long as there's a legitimate reason, he'll probably succeed."
"However, for him to become Chairman himself, it's basically impossible."
"Heh, now it's his turn to be frustrated. I'm really enjoying this."
Uncle Chuan Bao nodded repeatedly:
"Exactly."
"Things in the underworld are so complicated now, Chui Gei really isn't suitable to be Chairman."
"But for Ah Le to rise to power, it's almost impossible..."
As he said this, Uncle Chuan Bao suddenly reacted, looking at Big D in horror,
"You... you..."
Big D said in displeasure:
"What's wrong with you?"
"Why are you here?"
"You're not here to extort me, are you?"
Uncle Chuan Bao was even more puzzled:
"Big D, how do you know that Ah Le can't become Chairman?"
Big D said indignantly:
"Does that even need thinking about?"
"If I don't switch to Hung Hing, I'll never be chosen for Chairman."
"If I do switch to Hung Hing, then Lam Wai Lok would be the strongest in Wo Luen Shing—if I can't become Chairman, how could he? What a joke!"
Uncle Chuan Bao almost fainted from shock—is this still the Big D I know?
Big Ds Wife quickly said:
"Uncle Chuan Bao, this wasn't something Mr. Lui analyzed himself. Mr. Lin from Hung Hing told us."
"He said that Wo Luen Shing's strategy is always balance; they won't let one faction dominate."
"It's just that there was a mistake during the election. No matter what kind of candidate runs, the Uncles always choose the weaker, not the stronger."
Uncle Chuan Bao was full of doubts:
"Mr. Lin?"
Big D said casually:
"Of course!"
"Otherwise, why would we be thinking of switching to Hung Hing?"
"If we stayed in Wo Luen Shing, we'd definitely be eaten alive by you old foxes."
Only then did Uncle Chuan Bao's soul return to his body.
Good, good.
Big D was still the Big D he knew.
He hadn't changed, not one bit.
That's great.
Big D said strangely:
"Lam Wai Lok merely wants to rise to power. Any big shot in the underworld with a bit of strength has thought about becoming Chairman. Why are you so worried, Uncle Chuan Bao?"
Uncle Chuan Bao forced one bitter smile after another:
"Big D, you don't know, but I could feel that Lam Wai Lok had a murderous intent towards me for a moment."
Hmm?
Big D was extremely surprised:
"Ah Le really has guts."
"I've been annoyed with the Uncles for a long time, but I've never actually thought about having murderous intent."
"This Ah Le fellow is quite interesting."
Uncle Chuan Bao was half-choked.
Big Ds Wife looked solemn:
"Uncle Chuan Bao, could you please tell us what caused Ah Le to have murderous intent?"
Uncle Chuan Bao explained the whole situation.
Big Ds Wife's expression changed:
"What is Ah Le trying to do?"
"Does he want to be like Crow?"
Big D scoffed:
"Pfft, Lam Wai Lok trying to be like Crow?"
"Don't be ridiculous!"
"His mouth is always as if smeared with honey, full of sweet talk to the Uncles."
"He says it so much he even believes it himself."
"Uncle Chuan Bao isn't like Uncle Deng, but he's still ranked second among the Uncles of Wo Luen Shing."
"Is Ah Le crazy enough to kill him?"
Uncle Chuan Bao sighed bitterly:
"Big D, it's true."
"Ah Le really wanted to chop me up. If I hadn't run fast, I would have been finished there."
Big D looked at him with narrowed eyes:
"Why didn't you go to Yu Tau Biu in Lei Yue Mun, and instead ran to me?"
Uncle Chuan Bao said bluntly:
"What strength does Yu Tau Biu have? How could I not know?"
"If Ah Le wanted to hit him, he wouldn't even have the ability to fight back."
"In all of Wo Luen Shing, only you can deal with Ah Le."
Big D laughed heartily:
"Uncle Chuan Bao, you know I've always liked you."
"Alright, just stay here."
"However, I actually think Ah Le wouldn't dare to do that."
"Everyone clearly saw the fate of Tung Sing's Crow and his two subordinates who defied their superiors."
"Unless he wants to establish a Sun Luen Shing."
"But even then, you Uncles would remain as stable as Mount Tai."
Uncle Chuan Bao mumbled:
"If only that were true."
Big Ds Wife also said:
"Uncle Chuan Bao has already made it clear that Wo Luen Shing won't choose Ah Le."
"Ah Le's chances of rising to power are slim."
"However..."
"One thing is very strange."
Big D asked:
"What thing?"
Big Ds Wife said naturally:
"Why would Ah Le want to remove Chui Gei?"
Big D dismissed it:
"Didn't Uncle Chuan Bao say that Ah Le said the underworld is in chaos now and needs a strong Chairman...?"
Big Ds Wife shook her head:
"What does Wo Luen Shing need a strong Chairman for? As long as the Uncles remain stable, Wo Luen Shing will remain stable."
"There must be another reason for this."
Big D was about to retort when his phone suddenly rang.
He looked down.
"Eh, it's Xiao Fu."
Uncle Chuan Bao and Big Ds Wife exchanged glances, both wondering why Li Fu was calling Big D at this time.
"Xiao Fu, it's me, Big D."
"...Ah, be careful of Lam Wai Lok, don't casually accept his invitations?"
"It's best to cut off your relationship with him?"
Uncle Chuan Bao suddenly stood up, sweat pouring down his face. He didn't bother to guess and hurriedly asked:
"What did Ah Le do?"
Big D showed him his phone:
"He hung up!"
Uncle Chuan Bao was anxious:
"Why did you hang up?"
Big D said as a matter of course, "Everything's been said, why wouldn't I hang up?"
Chuen Bo wiped off a layer of sweat; he was drenched and felt completely drained.
Big D slowly said, "Xiao Fu sent a message. You'd best cut ties with Lam Wai Lok."
"That guy is probably going to do something big."
Chuen Bo steadied himself and pushed the roll of money forward, "Big D, can you call Mr. Lin and ask for the reason?"
Big D was furious, "Are you looking down on me?"
"With just this bit of money, you expect Ah Feng to give you information?"
"Don't you know that every time Ah Feng puts up a bounty, it starts at twenty million money?"
"What good is your four hundred thousand money for?"
Chuen Bo was half-choked with anger.
But on second thought, Big D was right.
When had Lin Feng ever been so petty in his dealings?
Four hundred thousand wouldn't even catch his eye.
Chuen Bo stood in a daze for a moment, then said, "I can't compare to you all. That's enough for a year's income for me, without the election money for two years."
Big D spat, "Twenty thousand money for a year, only a ghost would believe that."
Of course, this wasn't true, but for the Uncles, the twenty thousand election money was indeed a huge income during each election.
Chuen Bo pleaded, "Big D, you have to find out the specifics."
"You're still carrying the name of Wo Luen Shing now."
"If what Lam Wai Lok does involves you, wouldn't that be impossible to clear up?"
Big D thought it over and agreed, "You're not wrong."
"Whatever Lam Wai Lok does is his freedom."
"But he can't implicate me with his actions."
Big D's Wife nodded silently.
She saw clearly from the side that Chuen Bo was using relevant rhetoric.
However, like Chuen Bo, Big D's Wife also wanted to know exactly what Lam Wai Lok had done to provoke a warning from Lin Feng.
Everyone in the jianghu knew that Li Fu was Lin Feng's right-hand man. The call was made by Li Fu, but it was Lin Feng who told him to make it.
Big D thought for a moment and then proactively dialed Lin Feng's number, "Ah Feng, it's me, Big D."
"I didn't quite understand Xiao Fu's call just now. What did Ah Le do that surprised you so much?"
Lin Feng was having tea with Dai Fei and Greyhound, and was quite surprised to receive Big D's call.
"Big D, when did you start digging into things?"
Big D immediately sold out Chuen Bo, "It's Chuen Bo. Lam Wai Lok looked for him and then said a whole lot of things…"
Chuen Bo watched Big D do this in front of him as if he were watching a deity, a rather peculiar feeling.
Big D had clearly sold him out, but the problem was, Chuen Bo himself didn't mind it, even feeling that Big D had done the right thing by selling him out.
The most important thing at hand was to find out what that bastard Lam Wai Lok had done, and not let him end up selling out the Uncles of Wo Luen Shing as well.
If Lam Wai Lok were to act like Crow, that would be a huge mess.
Lin Feng suddenly realized, "So Chuen Bo is hiding with you, huh? He's quite smart."
"Everyone in the jianghu says the Uncles of Wo Luen Shing are foxes, and it's really not wrong."
Big D said resentfully, "So what if they're old foxes? They still have to rely on you, Ah Feng, for information, don't they?"
Lin Feng chuckled, "Big D, you're about to switch sides soon. Take it easy with Wo Luen Shing's affairs."
"Chuen Bo is a cunning old fox; his sense of smell is still keen."
"I can't tell you directly what Ah Le did."
"However, I'll give you a hint: find out what happened last night, and you'll know."
"Remember my words, don't get involved with Lam Wai Lok."
Big D's face was full of pride, "Thank you, Ah Feng."
Hung Hing's Liang Kun was currently at the peak of his power in the jianghu. Liang Kun and Lin Feng were a single entity. Now, with a single phone call, he effortlessly obtained information. His, Big D's, influence was still very great.
Chuen Bo quickly asked, "What did Mr. Lin say?"
Big D said proudly, "When I make a move, Ah Feng definitely gives me face."
"He said, find out what big thing happened last night, and you'll know."
Chuen Bo was utterly speechless. This Lin Feng was also a fox, having to go around in such a big circle… Big D's Wife called out to Cheung Fat, "Go and find out what exactly happened last night."
Cheung Fat's face was full of strangeness, "Sister-in-law, I just received a message."
Big D's Wife looked at him puzzled, "What's with your expression?"
Cheung Fat quickly said, "Sun Luen Shing sent word that last night they elected a new Chairman, Chuen Bo…"
Big D asked in confusion, "Chuen Bo becoming Sun Luen Shing's Dragon Head made Lam Wai Lok nervous?"
Cheung Fat smiled bitterly, "Boss, I haven't finished yet."
Big D said impatiently, "Speak, speak."
Cheung Fat hastily said, "Sun Luen Shing's new Dragon Head, Chuen Bo, was attacked by gunmen while celebrating at his own bar."
"Chuen Bo and Fai Wong died on the spot."
"Sun Luen Shing then elected a new Dragon Head, Lok Chi-ming."
Chuen Bo felt his scalp tingle.
Big D stared blankly, looking at Chuen Bo and then at Big D's Wife, "I didn't hear wrong, did I?"
"Two of Sun Luen Shing's Five Tigers died last night?"
Chuen Bo couldn't help but exclaim, "Is that the point?"
"The point is why Mr. Lin wants us to check what big thing happened last night!"
Big D spread his hands and said, "Sun Luen Shing's new Dragon Head and a powerful hall master died."
Chuen Bo loudly said, "Exactly!"
"But the question is, why would Mr. Lin connect these two things?"
Big D suddenly realized, "You mean… Lam Wai Lok did it?"
Chuen Bo said dejectedly, "Yes, that's what Mr. Lin means."
Big D couldn't believe it, "No, Lam Wai Lok is in Jordan. Why would he do such a thing?"
Cheung Fat immediately said, "There was a conflict at Lam Wai Lok's table during the Dragon Head banquet yesterday afternoon."
Chuen Bo repeatedly said, "Exactly."
"Lam Wai Lok used Mr. Lin and Lin Ho-tung's bet as a wager and made a bet. It seems Hon Ban, Chuen Bo, Axe Jun, Hu Xu Yong, and others made him lose a lot of money."
"Reportedly, over ten million."
Big D said gleefully, "Haha, Ah Le lost a fortune."
"But it's only ten million. There's no need to do something like this, is there?"
Chuen Bo smiled bitterly, "Not everyone is as rich and powerful as you."
"Big D, I want to stay at your place for the next two days, is that okay?"
Big D asked in confusion, "Don't you have a place to stay?"
Chuen Bo said truthfully, "I don't dare to go back."
"I'm afraid I'll either be killed by Ah Le or by Sun Luen Shing."
Big D was astonished, "Ah Le is crazy enough to kill you? You're a very respected Uncle of Wo Luen Shing."
Chuen Bo snorted coldly, "When he came to me, I really felt killing intent. If I hadn't slipped away quickly, I might have died."
Looking at the still bewildered Big D, Chuen Bo sighed inwardly at the fool's good fortune, and simply explained further, "Lam Wai Lok killed Chuen Bo and Fai Wong, becoming Sun Luen Shing's mortal enemy."
"When Sun Luen Shing comes to fight, what will he use to resist?"
"There's only one way now…"
"To become the Chairman of Wo Luen Shing."
"Chui Gei is useless, which gives him a very good excuse."
"But to dismiss Chui Gei, the Uncles must agree, and I will not agree."
"Ah Le dared to kill Sun Luen Shing's new Chairman, so he naturally has no reverence for us Uncles."
"He will definitely try every means to force us to agree."
"If I don't hide, he might just make an example of me, killing the chicken to scare the monkeys."
Big D scratched his head in confusion, "Chuen Bo, you are already a very respected Uncle. If you are the chicken, then who could be the monkey?"
Chuen Bo looked at Big D speechlessly; this guy really knows how to hit where it hurts!
"I know my own situation. My prestige among the Uncles is sufficient, but unfortunately, I'm one of the top three in rank."
"As long as I'm killed, those with less prestige than me will definitely be scared silly."
"And Fat Deng, who has more prestige than me, will also have to seriously consider it."
"So, I absolutely must hide."
Big D patted his chest proudly and said, "Don't you worry, Lam Wai Lok wouldn't dare to come here."

Chapter 258: Chuen Bo Sells Himself
Big D's face was full of arrogance:
"I, Tsuen Wan Qing Yise, after moving to Hung Hing, I am the Second Marshal of Hung Hing."
"Once something happens to me here, the other twelve halls of Hung Hing will provide support."
"Not to mention others, just Binny Hu of Kwai Tsing and Prince of Tsim Sha Tsui, these two groups of people are enough to give others a hard time."
Chuen Bo sighed:
"We don't even need them. As long as Mr. Lin's Thunder Security arrives, Chung Yee Shun won't be effective."
Big D chuckled.
"Chuen Bo, you just stay here. Ah Le won't dare to come."
Chuen Bo reminded him:
"Ah Le is no match for you, but be careful of him playing dirty."
"Mr. Lin is right, you and Ah Le shouldn't associate with each other."
"He can't beat you head-on, so if he ambushes you, that wouldn't be good."
Big D snorted coldly:
"I'm not an idiot. I won't go."
Chuen Bo hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back.
That's right, you're not an idiot, but sometimes your thoughtless behavior is even scarier than an idiot's.
An idiot at least has his own logic of behavior, but you believe everything you hear.
Chuen Bo was very worried about his own safety.
After thinking about it, he still had to struggle a bit:
"Big D, are you going to tell Uncle Deng what Lam Wai Lok did?"
Big D, as expected by Chuen Bo, frankly stated his thoughts:
"Why should I tell him?"
"I can't wait for Ah Le to teach Fat Deng a lesson."
Chuen Bo sighed inwardly.
This silly child, truly as always.
However, who told this silly child to be so powerful?
Big D chuckled:
"The uncles suffering is what they deserve."
"If I were to be chosen, you definitely wouldn't choose me either."
"Who told me to have the biggest territory, the most bosses, and the most subordinates?"
"Choose the weak over the strong? Emphasize balance?"
"Bullshit!"
"Isn't it just you old farts clinging to power?"
"Look around the Triad, which hall master can't make his own decisions?"
"Hung Hing is so good. As long as you become a hall master, besides submitting numbers, you can do whatever you want with your own territory. Isn't that much better than a Chairman?"
"As long as you help when the Triad needs it, for everything else, you can do as you please."
"And this is a lifelong position."
"Unlike Wo Luen Shing, a Dragon Head only has two years, and can only be elected twice."
"If you were like Wo Hing Shing, that would be fine too."
"At least their Chairman can be re-elected continuously."
"This kind of rotten Triad, it's best if it collapses."
The more Big D spoke, the more excited he became, almost wanting to sing a song and dance to liven things up.
Chuen Bo was speechless.
Big D was right, but no matter what, Wo Luen Shing being this rotten wasn't the fault of their generation of uncles.
A century-old Triad, the rules have been passed down for generations.
As of today, the former largest Triad, Hap Tu, no longer exists, but Wo Luen Shing is still there, still one of the Top Ten Gangs.
That proves that what the ancestors passed down is effective.
The uncles of Wo Luen Shing would be crazy to change such a system.
Moreover, he, Chuen Bo, was a beneficiary, so he would be even less likely to change it.
The problem is, explaining this to Big D is impossible.
And it's even more impossible to ask Big D not to run for election and to become a stable uncle of Wo Luen Shing after reaching a certain age.
The Chairman is a dangerous position; those with weak fates cannot sit there.
That's what they say, but which powerful big shot in the Triad doesn't want to be the Chairman?
Chuen Bo himself had experienced such things. When he was young, his temper was extremely fiery, otherwise he wouldn't have such a nickname.
Lei Yue Mun was very strong under his leadership, and Chuen Bo really thought he could be elected Chairman.
The result?
Bullshit!
From beginning to end, until he became an uncle of Wo Luen Shing, he never sat in that position.
No way, who told him to be so strong? Who told him he had no opponents?
According to Wo Luen Shing's rules, one family cannot dominate, so Chuen Bo lost the election.
This made it easy for him to empathize with Big D.
To be honest, Chuen Bo himself also felt that Wo Luen Shing would sooner or later face such a calamity.
According to Wo Luen Shing's election system, the strongest one in each generation is a whetstone, used to sharpen the knives of others.
But Big D's strength was not just stronger than other hall masters, it far exceeded them.
Big D was Tsuen Wan Qing Yise!
This alone proves his ability.
Who else could compare to him?
Koon Tsai Sum? Yu Tau Biu? Tai Po Hak? Gao Lao? Lam Wai Lok?
Forget about it!
These people, unless they teamed up, really weren't enough to fight Big D.
And yet, such a person cannot be the Chairman of Wo Luen Shing. Who wouldn't be angry if it were them?
This is just Big D.
If it were him, Chuen Bo, there would be many more ways to retaliate.
For example, secretly cooperating with Lam Wai Lok to split Wo Luen Shing into pieces, what's so strange about that?
Anyway, Big D is about to move to Hung Hing, right?
Anyway, after he moves, he'll still be Hung Hing's Second Marshal.
Wouldn't he want to burnish his resume properly?
If Wo Luen Shing is crippled, wouldn't that also benefit Hung Hing?
Chuen Bo casually thought about it, and a twisted smile appeared on his face.
Big D was startled by his sudden smile:
"Chuen Bo, what kind of strange things are you thinking about?"
Chuen Bo came back to his senses and asked:
"Big D, are you still recruiting subordinates?"
Big D shrugged:
"Yes, I don't have enough subordinates."
Chuen Bo was curious:
"In Wo Luen Shing, you have the biggest territory and the most subordinates, and it's still not enough?"
Big D had no defenses against him at all:
"Not enough!"
He counted on his fingers,
"Ah Kun wants to open a minibus company, connecting New Territories, Kowloon, and Hong Kong Island."
"Just for the maintenance of the minibus company, I need to contribute several hundred people from here."
"These people are not hooligans; they are legitimate employees."
Chuen Bo nodded in agreement.
"Ah Kun also requires that in every community within the territory, a convenience store must be established, and in crowded communities, several more might be needed."
"I need to prepare in advance."
"Just in my territory, this alone requires nearly a thousand people."
"These people are also legitimate employees."
Chuen Bo was startled:
"Are convenience stores something we can get involved with?"
Chuen Bo said this for a reason.
Convenience stores are inconspicuous, but honestly, these community convenience stores are basically controlled by big families.
Especially real estate families, as long as they are within their sphere of influence, they will basically open a convenience store as well.
This is a manifestation of commercial chain sinking.
Chuen Bo advised:
"Opening one convenience store is feasible, but opening too many will attract trouble."
Big D chuckled coldly:
"What trouble?"
"Can't supply goods?"
Chuen Bo nodded:
"That's right, if the goods can't be supplied, the reputation will be ruined."
Big D said proudly:
"What you thought of, Ah Feng already thought of."
"He is always one step ahead of you."
"There's no need to worry about this at all."
Chuen Bo frowned:
"I've long heard that Mr. Lin has connections in both the underworld and the legitimate world, and is incredibly resourceful. But even for Mr. Lin, this matter isn't easy, is it?"
"Those Tycoons won't be polite to our Triad."
Big D snorted coldly:
"Them?"
Chuen Bo quickly said:
"If these Tycoons jointly cut off the supply chain, and your convenience store has nothing, how can you compete with them?"
Big D truly couldn't keep a secret and had no intention of hiding anything,
"They want to cut off our supplies? Does Hong Kong produce anything?"
Chuen Bo was stunned.
Big D laughed:
"Hong Kong does have a lot of electronic products, but convenience stores don't need those things."
"If you really want to buy electronic products, wouldn't you go to the computer street?"
"What convenience stores sell are miscellaneous goods!"
"At most, they'll have some vegetables and fruits."
"What else is there?"
"Those Tycoons want to cut off supplies? Let them try, and see if our Mainland agrees."
Chuen Bo's eyes almost popped out:
"You've opened up connections with the Mainland?"
Big D became even more smug:
"Not us, it's Ah Feng."
"He opened up the channels with the Mainland, and there's no problem getting whatever we want."
"As long as payments are made on time, factories in Guangdong Province continuously produce the goods."
Chuen Bo was silent.
Big D put his hands on his hips, looking pleased with himself,
"Our convenience stores face the citizens of Hong Kong, and the factories are directly located in Guangdong Province in the Mainland."
"The two places are very close, and shipping is very convenient."
"Even Foreigners wouldn't dare to obstruct."
"If Foreigners dared to obstruct something related to people's livelihoods, the citizens would dare to storm the Governor's office."
"Ah Feng said this model is called 'Front Store, Back Factory'!"
Chuen Bo was even more astonished:
"There's a model for it?"
Big D nodded as if it were obvious:
"Of course, Ah Feng did tell us, but we can't remember it."
He said somewhat sheepishly,
"We who are out here making a living are all roughnecks. How would we understand these things?"
"But it doesn't matter if we don't understand, as long as smart people do, right?"
"It's never wrong to listen to smart people."
Big D's Wife watched Big D show off in front of Chuen Bo with a smile, not saying a word.
Fat Deng's initial intention for Big D to attend Ah B's funeral wasn't good.
However, Big D was fortunate enough to connect with Lin Feng.
Big D didn't understand these things, but Big D's Wife did.
She knew all too well what would happen if the blueprint Lin Feng drew became a reality.
It was a major event that would fundamentally change the nature of the Hung Hing Triad.
If everything developed according to Lin Feng's vision, Hung Hing would no longer be a Triad; it would at least be a chain company.
By then, there would be no need to worry about Big D being dragged to the Police Station by the police.
Big D continued, "Look, just these two projects require a lot of manpower, but don't think this manpower is enough."
"There are also fruit baskets, parking, newspaper stands, mahjong parlors, dance halls, arcades in Tsuen Wan… all requiring a lot of manpower."
"Furthermore, there are lunchboxes… those also require a lot of manpower."
"Besides these, there's also the cinema, which is already under construction."
"These younger brothers will all be wearing uniforms to work."
"They are not temporary workers."
"They get paid every month."
Chuen Bo was silent for a long time, then said after a while, "I originally wanted Yu Tau Biu to follow you."
Big D was startled, "Yu Tau Biu is doing so well in Lei Yue Mun, and you want him to follow me? Is that how you act as a boss?"
Chuen Bo thought, Big D is straightforward in his actions, so I can't hide anything, otherwise, he'll look down on me.
"Yu Tau Biu is holed up in Lei Yue Mun, unable to get out at all."
"What good is it for him to have the title of a Wo Luen Shing hall master?"
"Yu Tau Biu's situation is only slightly better than Chui Gei's."
"Sigh, when I was in Lei Yue Mun back then, what kind of prestige did I have? No one in the entire Wo Luen Shing was bigger than me."
"Yu Tau Biu doesn't even have half of what I had back then."
"Holed up there, he'll be finished sooner or later."
"Not only is his territory smaller than mine, but even the younger brothers he recruits can't compare to mine."
"Yu Tau Biu at least has some cunning, but the younger brother he recruited, Fei Ji… like you, is very direct."
Big D was furious, "What do you mean by that? Looking down on me?"
Chuen Bo said bluntly, "Our Wo Luen Shing tradition is to be cunning. Are you cunning?"
Big D was enraged.
Chuen Bo lamented, "In Wo Luen Shing, it's not about whether you're strong or weak, it's about whether you have cunning."
"Look at that guy Fei Ji, he's even more direct than you, straight to the point."
"Just you wait, after Yu Tau Biu, Fei Ji will definitely ruin Lei Yue Mun."
Big D was panting with anger, then suddenly he said, "Chuen Bo, didn't you want Yu Tau Biu to follow me?"
Chuen Bo was overjoyed, "You agreed?"
Big D sneered, "I don't agree!"
Chuen Bo suddenly felt deflated.
"I want that blockhead Fei Ji you mentioned."
"I have to show you whether someone without cunning can make it big!"
Chuen Bo immediately said, "I'll call Yu Tau Biu right away and tell him to send Fei Ji over."
Big D urged, "Call him, call him now!"
Chuen Bo actually called Yu Tau Biu in front of Big D, but the first thing he said wasn't about Fei Ji.
"Ah Biao, the underworld is too chaotic, don't trust others easily."
"In the entire Wo Luen Shing, besides Big D, don't trust anyone else, especially Ah Le, absolutely do not have any involvement with him."
Yu Tau Biu nodded repeatedly, "Boss, I understand."
Only then did Chuen Bo say, "Tell Fei Ji to come find me here with Big D. He'll be following me from now on."
Yu Tau Biu said in surprise, "Boss, I only have this one outstanding younger brother…"
Chuen Bo was furious, spitting everywhere, "Am I not your boss? You're making excuses when I ask for one younger brother?"
Yu Tau Biu quickly said, "I'll have him go over immediately."
Chuen Bo snorted coldly, "Wouldn't it have been better to do that earlier?"
"Truly asking for a beating."
"Hurry up, Big D and I are waiting."
Yu Tau Biu was puzzled, "Boss, why did you go to Big D's place?"
"Lei Yue Mun is so much better."
Chuen Bo sneered, "Go to your place? Rely on you to protect me?"
"If something really happens, are we going to jump into the sea together?"
"Hurry and send Fei Ji over."
Chuen Bo hung up the phone abruptly.
Big D suddenly wasn't angry anymore, "Chuen Bo, you're arguing with everyone and everything. Ah Biao respects you so much, and you still yell at him like that. You uncles of Wo Luen Shing shouldn't blame others for not respecting you."
Chuen Bo was nonchalant, "Haven't you yelled at your own younger brothers?"
"I can yell at him, but I can also protect him. I'm finding a way out for him."
Big D said with interest, "How so?"
Chuen Bo said frankly, "At first, I wanted that kid Yu Tau Biu to follow you."
"Wo Luen Shing is half-dead now, and the future is very uncertain."
"After you left, Wo Luen Shing saw no future at all."
"Before, there was also Lam Wai Lok. Although he wasn't as strong as you, he had connections, and Wo Luen Shing could still continue under his leadership."
"However…"
"After Lam Wai Lok did such a thing, it's uncertain whether Wo Luen Shing can even be preserved… So, I temporarily changed my decision."
Big D asked curiously, "You're not letting Ah Biao follow me anymore?"
Chuen Bo pushed up his glasses, "My intention is for the three of us from Lei Yue Mun to follow you."
Big D didn't understand for a moment, and Big D's Wife exclaimed, "Uncle Chuan Bao, you are an uncle of Wo Luen Shing. Following Mr. Lui, isn't that against the rules?"
Big D was stunned, "What? You want to follow me too?"
Chuen Bo spoke truthfully, "First and foremost, I need you to save my life."
"It's almost impossible for that scoundrel Ah Le to stop after causing such a mess."
"He wouldn't dare to stop."
"Sun Luen Shing is not something his small Jordan can handle."
"Lam Wai Lok wants to save his life, so he must become the Chairman of Wo Luen Shing."
"Only then can he firmly establish himself."
"Only then is it possible to save his own life."
"The next step is simple. Chui Gei and all the uncles of Wo Luen Shing will face danger."
"Ah Le is determined to get the Chairman position."
"Otherwise, he will die."
"Think about it, if all his retreats are gone, besides one path forward, there's no other path for him to choose."
"This is the reality Ah Le faces."
"I dare not leave your side."
Big D thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Chuen Bo pushed up his glasses again, "Big D, your strength is sufficient. Even in Hung Hing, you are one of the most powerful hall masters."
Unexpectedly, Big D waved his hand repeatedly, "I wouldn't dare say that."
"Leaving aside everything else, just Ah Feng's Thunder Security, who dares to say they can defeat him?"
Chuen Bo was half-choked, "Of all people, why mention Ah Feng?"
Big D added, "Prince's Tsim Sha Tsui, that's also unbeatable."
Chuen Bo was even more annoyed, but Big D hadn't finished speaking,
"Binny Hu of Kwai Tsing is also not to be trifled with."
"And Mong Kok, where Ah Kun started…"
Chuen Bo quickly interrupted Big D, "Let's not talk about other things. Although you are a Second Marshal in Hung Hing, you are still missing a strategist."
"I acknowledge Sister-in-law's wisdom, but you still need an old hand to help you strategize."
"You admit this, right?"
Big D's Wife quickly said, "Our Mr. Lui urgently needs a strategist."
Big D nodded, admitting that Chuen Bo was right.
Chuen Bo said proudly, "Then this strategist, besides me, who else is qualified to be?"
Big D was dumbfounded, "Did you sell yourself out?"
Chuen Bo glared, "What do you mean I sold myself out?"
"I sold all three of us from Lei Yue Mun to you."
"Just tell me, Big D of Tsuen Wan, do you dare to take us?"
How could Big D resist this provocation? He patted his chest and said, "Is there anything in the entire underworld that I don't dare to do?"
"Isn't it just you people from Lei Yue Mun? I'll take you!"
Chuen Bo immediately said, "Big D, please take care of me from now on."
Big D waved his hand, "Don't worry, with me covering you, Lam Wai Lok won't dare to cause trouble."
