Chapter 6: Scheming and Deception, Let's See Who is More Cunning!
Wu Feng's reason was too strong, and Huang Wengang was momentarily speechless, not knowing what to say.
It was because Wu Feng's father's gambling addiction started at a mahjong parlor, which was a thorn in his heart.
"Then let's do as you think, A Feng!"
Huang Wengang said cheerfully, "Brother will back you!"
"Thank you, Brother!"
Wu Feng smiled faintly; in fact, he naturally wouldn't be so generous.
However, laying out a plan targeting Kwan Tsai Sum's character weakness was difficult to explain clearly in advance.
Once Kwan Tsai Sum's gambling addiction flared up, wouldn't it be easy to control him?
In fact, even his and Brother's trip to Kwan Tsai Sum's Tuen Mun was timed perfectly.
As dusk approached, it was precisely when the low-level ruffians were out looking for food, so Kwan Tsai Sum's Tuen Mun wouldn't have too many ruffians.
It was also a low point in their combat power; as long as the two Brothers were fast enough, they could accomplish many things, and even if the plan didn't go smoothly, they had a good chance of getting out unscathed.
If they really dragged it out until night, who knew if Kwan Tsai Sum would directly attack Zhong Ye!
Could one expect a bunch of ruffians to act after careful deliberation?
Their style of doing things was to never let a matter wait overnight!
Fortunately, Wu Feng's plan, based on the daily routines of most low-level ruffians, successfully achieved its goal.
These matters would be kept secret and not easily spoken of.
It wasn't to guard against Brother, but to avoid creating a rift between Brothers.
Over the next few days, Wu Feng and Brother Huang Wengang were very busy.
Huang Wengang immediately recruited a group of Brothers from Tiu Keng Leng.
According to him, they were all younger Brothers he used to hang out with.
This was also why he was valued by Zhong Ye; he was a school bully when he was in school.
Of course, because young people don't know how to hold back, it's easy to cause big trouble, and they are also the best scapegoats.
In fact, many Hong Kong Triads like to recruit young people, and Hung Yee's Zhong Ye is no exception.
After recruiting his trusted younger Brothers with whom he grew up, Brother felt much more confident.
It's just that their nicknames, like 'Chicken Feather' and 'Fatty Bo,' were truly uncomplimentary.
"Come, come, this is my younger Brother. Just call him Feng Ge!"
Brother was still very thoughtful and immediately introduced some of his trusted men to Wu Feng.
"Hello, Feng Ge!"
These young men were very well-behaved, lining up and greeting him in unison.
"We're all Brothers, no need to be polite!"
Wu Feng spoke with a not-so-fluent cantonese, drawing surprised glances from the young men.
"What kind of looks are those?"
Brother scolded unhappily, "Didn't I tell you, A Feng served in the Mainland and is very skilled. None of you are a match for him!"
"Also, if A Feng ever asks you to do anything, you must obey him honestly. His orders are my orders. If you dare not listen, I won't let you off!"
A series of stern scoldings startled the young men, who quickly vowed to obey Feng Ge honestly and not to be negligent in any way.
Wu Feng watched, his heart unperturbed.
As for Brother, after the incident of bravely venturing into Kwan Tsai Sum's Tuen Mun, he had a few more traces of ruthlessness, no less than those old Si Jiu in the Triad, and he was very intimidating when trying to scare people.
Wu Feng was also very busy; as Hung Yee's newly appointed Caoxie, he naturally had to quickly familiarize himself with the entire Triad's situation.
However, the information he learned surprised him somewhat.
It turned out that Hung Yee also had a glorious history; at its peak, it was a medium-sized Triad in Mong Kok, with its sphere of influence encompassing most of the Mong Kok area, and even having the strength to establish a presence in Yau Ma Tei and Tsim Sha Tsui.
Unfortunately, later on, a Triad boss defected, not only taking his subordinates but also the territories under his jurisdiction. This caused Hung Yee to quickly fall into a third-rate Triad, with its territory even limited to only parts of Shanghai Street.
Sit Lord Zhong Ye's experience was also not simple; he was actually a founding elder of Hung Hing, a first-rate Triad in Hong Kong. However, he later became dissatisfied with the Jiang family's father-son succession and directly left Hung Hing to establish Hung Yee.
At present, Hung Yee's financial foundation is actually not bad!
Two nightclubs, six sauna and foot massage parlors, and two mahjong parlors are the main sources of income.
In addition, they are involved in one-floor-one-phoenix brothels, horse stables, private escorts, streetwalkers, massage parlors, and bars!
Although most of them only have protection rights, the Triad's monthly income combined exceeds a million!
As night fell, the entire Shanghai Street shimmered with neon lights, forming a colorful river of light.
The venues under Hung Yee's jurisdiction were even more bustling, with constant traffic and dense crowds, filled with debauchery.
Wu Feng wasn't particularly fond of such an environment!
He was afraid of death and didn't want to risk himself to see if he would fall victim!
Sit Lord Zhong Ye, for some unknown reason, gave Wu Feng a nightclub and protection rights over some other Triad businesses, which was quite generous.
Of course, the Triad's cut was also quite significant, directly taking 70% of the income!
Wu Feng had no objection to this and then set up his Tuen Mun at Da Fu Hao Sauna.
There was no other reason; Da Fu Hao Sauna was the Triad's own property, so there was no need to consider the opinions of the nightclub owners behind the scenes.
On the other side, Sit Lord Zhong Ye also gave Brother Huang Wengang a nightclub and protection rights over some other Triad businesses, but both the quantity and income were clearly inferior to the businesses under Wu Feng's jurisdiction.
Damn it, isn't this blatant instigation, or rather, an attempt to sow discord?
"Zhong Ye is such a bastard, playing this trick on us Brothers!"
At their temporary residence, Brother was chugging beer and cursing, clearly affected.
After all, he wasn't well-educated and had an impulsive, hot-headed personality; in short, he lacked experience.
Perhaps there were also complaints from his trusted younger brothers; even though Brother knew this was a trap, it was hard for him to calm his turbulent emotions.
After all, when direct economic interests are involved, few people can remain calm.
Hong Kong is, after all, a capitalist society; while not everything is about money, at least that's how the common people see it. The allure of profit is no joke.
If Wu Feng and Brother didn't have a backup plan, as time passed, Sit Lord Zhong Ye might truly succeed in making the two Brothers turn against each other over interests.
"Brother, there's no need to be angry, just wait a little longer!"
After Huang Wengang vented, Wu Feng finally spoke to comfort him, "It definitely won't take too long. Even if you don't believe me, you have to believe in Wo On Lok's power!"
"A Feng, if Zhong Ye really chooses to retire and go to Australia to live out his old age!"
Huang Wengang's eyes were terrifyingly bright at this moment: "Do you think I have a chance to ascend?"
