Chapter 1199 Using a tiger's skin as a banner
"what?"
Piggy's words were like a bowl of cold water poured into a pan of hot oil; everyone in the study was in an uproar, even Lin Yiming stood up.
Han Chen's voice trembled slightly.
"Young Master Qin? Which Young Master Qin?"
"Iron Fry said proudly."
"Ah Chen, in the entire Hong Kong, apart from that young master Qin who is treated as an honored guest even by the Governor of Hong Kong, is there anyone else who dares to call him the three words 'young master Qin'?"
Few people in Hong Kong knew Da Bao's real name, and even the name Young Master Qin was only known to those who held considerable influence in Hong Kong.
The people present were all high-ranking members of the triad, so of course they knew who this Young Master Qin was. Especially tonight, Young Master Qin had wreaked havoc at the Peninsula Hotel. Although the Security Bureau had made everyone sign confidentiality agreements, rumors still inevitably spread.
However, these rumors have become increasingly outlandish, and now the most mysterious figure in all of Hong Kong is this young master Qin.
But despite their ignorance, these people all shared one thing in mind: they absolutely could not provoke this young master Qin.
Lei Luo was also somewhat surprised, but seeing Yan Tong's ashen face, he smiled and remained silent.
Yan Tong was filled with anxiety. The difference between him and that young master Qin was like heaven and earth. Even his lowly name wouldn't reach the ears of that young master Qin. As for his backer, the foreign police superintendent Hunter, what was he?
Even the Commissioner of Police bows and scrapes before that young master Qin. If he, a mere superintendent, were to be beaten to death by young master Qin, no one would dare utter a word against him.
Lei Luo suddenly felt that having this young master Qin as a backer wasn't so bad. Look at Guo Yingnan, he now has connections in both the underworld and the legitimate world. In the underworld, he is the head of the Dongxing Society, firmly holding the golden chair of Hong Kong's number one triad.
Needless to say, their shipping companies are all over Southeast Asia. Take tonight's Peninsula Hotel cocktail party, for example. No other triad can participate, but they can, and they're VIPs.
This is the difference between people. I guess Ma Shaolin, who wants to start a newspaper, will follow the path of Guo Yingnan.
When Lei Luo was in police academy, he had two irreconcilable rivals. One was the upright and incorruptible Lan Jiang, who beat him up quite a bit, but Lei Luo still admired Lan Jiang.
Another one is Chen Zhichao. Chen Zhichao is clever, quick-witted, and has a sharp mind, especially when it comes to interpersonal relationships; no one can compare to him.
But look at them now. Ever since Lan Jiang and Chen Zhichao joined Guo Yingnan, they've been sailing smoothly in the officialdom. Chen Zhichao, in particular, has been transferred to the Security Bureau as a commander tonight, which is something Lei Luo can only dream of.
"Iron Fry" continued.
“Our Brother Luo is a low-key person who doesn’t like to make a big fuss, but that doesn’t mean anyone can ride roughshod over us. We should have given Superintendent Hunter some face tonight, but every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. As Inspector Yan said, matters of the underworld should be settled in the underworld. Brother Hao, since we’ve run into each other, you should settle your score with Silly Biao.”
Limpy Ho grinned maliciously. A former thug, he was highly skilled in martial arts. He grabbed Sha Biao by the hair, pulled out a fruit knife, and severed Sha Biao's right ear.
Limpy Hao laughed loudly, appearing so arrogant and domineering amidst Sha Biao's screams. Yan Tong's face turned pale and then red; he no longer had the arrogance he had when he first arrived.
Lei Luo picked up his wine glass and said casually,
"I set all the rules for Hong Kong. I, Lei Luo, have done my best to ensure Hong Kong's stability and prosperity over the years. Anyone who wants to disrupt this stability will have to pay the price. If you think I, Lei Luo, am not capable of doing so, then I will have to ask my boss to step in. However, I believe you all know that my boss is not as easy to talk to as I, Lei Luo."
Han Chen swallowed hard and laughed as he spoke.
"As Brother Kun has said, harmony is the key to making money. Now that Boss Lei is giving us a peaceful meal, how could we possibly complain about the cook after we've eaten our fill? We must be trustworthy. On behalf of my boss, I'd like to say that we will always support Boss Lei."
Lin Yiming slowly sat back down, placing his iron hand on his other hand, and said something indifferently.
"The Four Great Families sound better, much better than the Five Great Families."
Yan Tong was too ashamed to stay any longer, so he could only help the screaming Sha Biao leave. The two left Lei Luo's villa, got into the car, and Yan Tong slammed his fist on the seat.
"Idiot Biao said, covering his bleeding ear."
"Master Yan, just say the word and I'll immediately take my men and take care of that Young Master Qin..."
Enraged, Yan Tong swung his hand and slapped him on the back of the head.
"You bastard, who is Young Master Qin? How dare you mention that name? You even went and assaulted him? If word gets out, you'll be lying dead in the street within two hours."
Sha Biao was so frightened by what he heard that he forgot even the pain in his ears. He didn't dare ask any more questions and could only look at Yan Tong pitifully.
Yan Tong sighed. He hadn't expected that his plan, which was so meticulous and on the verge of taking over, would turn out to be so unpredictable. That damned Lei Laohu was really lucky to have found such a powerful backer.
“Drive me to the hospital, you better be careful, don’t die in my car…”
After Yan Tong left, the discussion about intercepting the gold resumed in the study of the villa. However, Ma Shihao and the other two became more careful in their speech, no longer as carefree as before.
Lei Luo and Piggy walked to the side and whispered,
"What should we do now?"
Piggy smiled憨憨地.
"Brother Luo, it's never shameful to bow down to the strong. I've figured out what happened tonight. We usually pay these foreigners to be on their side, but when something really happens, we're just scapegoats."
Since we're just sheep, why not seek refuge with a good master? At least with a good master, we'll have food and drink, and we won't have to worry about being roasted and eaten. Don't you think so?
Lei Luo had always believed that among the people around him, Piggy was the smartest, and seeing him today, he was right.
"After we finish arranging the gold, we'll go and pay our respects to Young Master Qin tonight. I, Lei Luo, truly admire Young Master Qin."
Piggy shook his head, then nodded.
"Brother Luo, among the four major families, only Ah Hao and the Ma brothers are truly loyal to us. As for the Luen Shing and Hung Hing families, they're only superficially obedient; they'll turn on us at the first opportunity. I suggest you, we shouldn't get involved in the gold matter."
Let whoever wants to make trouble do it. We'll clean up the mess after we've suffered heavy losses.
"what do you mean?"
“Ah Hao is unruly and has been disobedient many times this year. Since that’s the case, let them suffer a lot, and then we’ll ask Young Master Qin to clean up the mess. I believe they’ll behave themselves then.”
