Chapter 017 General knowledge?
"Brother Piao, Brother Piao!"
At 8 a.m., at the observatory, Shark Boy held Chen Piao's phone and gently shook Chen Piao, who was still lying in bed.
Looking at Chen Piao lazily opening his eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and sometimes even doubted Chen Piao's true identity.
He just casually left his phone in the lobby; he really had no sense of being an undercover agent.
"What's up?"
"Your call is coming!"
Taking the phone from Shark Boy, Chen Piao casually picked up the clothes hanging on the headboard.
After Dongguan Boy killed Han Chen last night, for safety reasons, he did not return to his residence in Tsim Sha Tsui, but instead spent the night at Shark Boy's place.
Pressing the answer button, Lin Huai Le's voice came through.
"Knife Boy, still sleeping?"
"Oh, it's Brother Lok. I'm sorry, but after Han Chen died last night, many places in Tsim Sha Tsui were placed under martial law by the police again."
I had no choice but to stay up until 3 a.m. before I could sleep, and then I accidentally overslept.
"It's okay, you worked hard last night too."
Oh, by the way, come to Po Wah Tea House in Yau Ma Tei later, Uncle Deng wants to see you!
"Uncle Deng? Okay, I'll be right there!"
"See you later!"
After getting dressed, I ran to the washroom to wash my face. Just as I was about to leave, Shark Boy came over.
"Brother Piao!"
He called out to Chen Piao, and Chen Piao clearly saw a strange look flash in his eyes.
"Hesitation, what do you have to explain?"
"No...it's nothing. I just heard you say on the phone that Uncle Deng wants to see you."
Everyone in Hong Kong knows that he's the one who calls the shots at Wo Shing Wo. Why don't you dress more formally and make a good impression?
Shark Boy stammered out a reason, but his gaze kept wandering to Chen Piao's shirt collar.
This morning, Huang Zhicheng, who had received news of Han Chen's death, called him.
Huang Zhicheng on the other end of the phone was extremely angry and specifically instructed him to make sure that the new bugging device was installed on Chen Piao's clothes.
Just now, when he handed the phone to Chen Piao, he had already planted the bugging device under Chen Piao's collar. At this moment, he was extremely conflicted.
This means that if Chen Piao says anything he shouldn't when he meets with Fat Deng, then Chen Piao's career will be completely ruined!
But Little Shark didn't know that Chen Piao, whose physique had been enhanced by the system, had senses far beyond those of ordinary people.
He was already awake when Shark Boy walked to the door of the room.
"Why did you change your clothes all of a sudden? I'm going to see my grandfather, not on a blind date!"
Chen Piao chuckled, patted Shark Boy on the shoulder, and then beckoned Shark Boy to go out together.
Chen Piao naturally wouldn't expose this, as he still hoped to get Dongguan Boy's confession to the police station through Shark Boy.
……
Baohua Teahouse was one of the properties owned by Mr. Su, the younger brother of Huo Niu.
Located at the intersection of Woosung Street and Jordan Road in Yau Ma Tei, it's more accurate to describe it as a place where the shaun brothers and their relatives discussed matters than as a teahouse.
For example, the current leader of Wo Luen Shing was selected at this teahouse.
Upon arriving at the teahouse, Chen Piao and Shark Boy were led by the teahouse's waiter to a spacious tea room on the second floor.
When Chen Piao opened the door, he found that Lin Huai Le and several veterans of Wo Luen Shing had all arrived.
At the head of the tea table sat a portly man wearing overalls, his eyelids drooping, looking drowsy.
Chen Piao naturally understood that this "heavyweight" figure was none other than the true uncrowned king of Wo Luen Shing – Fat Deng!
It's hard to imagine that this old man, who struggles to walk, came from Kowloon Walled City thirty years ago and turned the tide, saving Wo Luen Shing from dire straits!
Looking to the side, sitting there was Lin Huai Le with a smile on his face. Dongguan Boy stood behind him, his gaze toward Chen Piao still cold.
Looking further opposite Fat Tang, three heavyweight uncles from the Kowloon Peninsula were sitting there.
From left to right, they are Fire Bull in Yau Ma Tei, String of Bread in Kwun Tong, and Dragon Root in Sham Shui Po.
It's worth mentioning that Longgen was in a wheelchair...
Good morning, everyone! Good morning, Brother Le!
After Chen Piao greeted him, Fat Deng's lowered eyelids immediately lifted, and his gaze toward Chen Piao gleamed with a sharp light.
"So you're Daozaipiao? You're quite the young man!"
Now that we've become members of the Wo Luen Shing family, we're all family now. Let's sit down around the tea table and chat."
"Thank you, Uncle Deng."
With Fat Deng's permission, Chen Piao pulled up a chair and sat down without hesitation. However, he was careful in choosing his seat. Fat Deng had three uncles across from him, while he sat alone next to Long Gen.
After Chen Piao sat down, Fat Deng called the waiter to refill his tea.
After a round of tea was served, and after Fei Deng invited everyone to drink, everyone raised their teacups and drank the tea in one gulp.
Then, Fat Deng officially started talking.
"Yesterday, Ah Lok told me that it's too difficult to get a new stock, but it might be more worthwhile to get a stock like Han Chen."
I told him then and there that returning to Tsim Sha Tsui was a decades-long dream of Wo Shing Wo. It didn't matter who we fought, as long as we could establish ourselves in Tsim Sha Tsui!
As he spoke, Fat Deng slowly turned his head to look at Lin Huai Le.
"I often tell Ah Lok that times have changed, and gangsters need to use their brains more and more to get things done."
You guys did a great job. First, Knife Boy thought highly of us and Luen Shing, and then you came up with a plan to take down Han Chen.
Now that the Ni family is leaderless, our entry into Tsim Sha Tsui with Luen Shing is perfectly timed, advantageous, and well-connected. This time, our reputation can finally be polished!
Upon hearing this, Chen Piao quickly said humbly, "Uncle Deng, you're too kind. It's Wo Luen Shing that thinks highly of me and is willing to take me in to work. I should thank Uncle Deng and Brother Lok."
Dongguan Boy remained standing behind Lin Huai Le, and upon hearing Chen Piao's sycophantic remarks, he couldn't help but snort coldly.
Lin Huaile naturally heard this cold snort, so he picked up where Fat Deng left off.
"Uncle Deng, I think polishing the signboard is just a matter of a day or two."
However, one thing is one thing, but even if we join forces with the nine districts of Lian Sheng, we still need someone to take the lead.
Fat Deng nodded.
"This territory in Tsim Sha Tsui is different from other gangs. Once we take it over, we will have to open a separate gang in the future."
I called you all here today to discuss this matter.
Whoever spearheads the takeover of Tsim Sha Tsui this time will likely become its leader in the future!
These words immediately sparked discussion among those present.
The first uncle to agree was actually Chuan Bao. Before the election of the leader, although he had taken money from Tsuen Wan's big boss and vehemently opposed Lam Wai Lok becoming the leader of this term, he was a clear-headed person.
The die is cast. It's obvious that Fat Tang supports Lam Wai-lok. With five godsons and only one Dongguan boy coming along, he naturally knows what to say.
"Brother Wei, what's there to discuss?"
Dongguan Boy was trained by Boss Quan. He has been working for Dapu Black for the past few years, and his abilities are obvious to everyone!
If you ask me, we should give this sharp young man more opportunities. This time, let him handle the Tsim Sha Tsui case!
Fire Bull chimed in, "That's right, Han Chen was killed by Dongguan Boy. He raised the flag, so naturally he should be the one to plant it. I support Dongguan Boy in taking charge!"
Upon hearing the two old men offer their opinions, Dongguan Boy couldn't help but smile. However, since Fat Deng hadn't made a decision yet, he couldn't express his gratitude to his two uncles on the spot.
Fat Deng didn't reply, but just looked at Long Gen.
However, Lung Gen was clearly in low spirits. Last time, when the leader was being elected, he was tricked by his younger brother, Kwan Tsz-sum, which resulted in him accepting money from Big D during the election of the leader and casting a vote against Big D, leaving him with a disability in both legs.
He is considered a heavyweight uncle figure in the SUPP, and he so strongly supported Lam Wai-lok in the election.
As a result, Big D lost the election and, in a fit of rage, sought revenge on Lung Gen. Lin Huai Le not only did nothing, but in order to keep Big D from causing trouble at Sun Wo Luen Shing, he even forced the incumbent leader, Chui Chi, to commit suicide in order to appease Big D.
Long Gen had no good feelings towards Lin Huai Le. He felt that this man was gentle and refined on the surface, but sinister and unpleasant on the inside, even more detestable than the arrogant and domineering Da D.
Then, Longgen said the following words.
"Brother Wei, I don't have much to say."
Although Dongguanzi is shrewd, Daozi Piao also played a significant role in Wo Luen Shing's successful elimination of Han Chen.
"They've come to us and Lian Sheng with both advice and effort. If we ignore them, I'm afraid they'll lose heart. Setting such an example will make it hard for the old Ni family members to respect us and Lian Sheng!"
Long Gen's words were skillful; he was clearly trying to annoy Lin Huai Le, yet he analyzed the issue from the perspective of triad morality.
The key is that the logic is clear, and Lin Huai Le really can't find any good reasons to refute it.
Indeed, as a former member of the Ni family, Dao Zai Piao, the first to join Wo Luen Shing, did not receive good treatment. What must those people in the Ni family have been thinking?
For a moment, Lin Huai Le didn't know how to respond.
Fortunately, Chen Piao had planned ahead and spoke up at the opportune moment.
"Uncle Longgen, you flatter me. Actually, whether it was coming up with the idea or carrying it out, it was Brother Dongguan who did all the work."
I didn't actually do anything. It was Brother Lok who wanted to give me some credit so I could better establish myself in Wo Shing Wo, so he suggested that the idea came from me!
Upon hearing this, the way Dongguan boy looked at Chen Piao changed.
From initial stiffness and disdain, it instantly became clear and transparent.
He even felt a pang of shame, remembering how he had previously told Lin Huai Le how Chen Piao was so arrogant and ignorant.
Now, Chen Piao actually took all the credit for himself right in front of Fat Deng. It seems Lin Huai Le was right; he really was too petty...
Such understanding and kindness—if the occasion weren't so special, Dongguan guy would have loved to burn paper money and become sworn brothers with Chen Piao right there and then.
