【050】The most unruly triads on Hong Kong Island
Golden Wind Nightclub, a private room.
After Lin Haowen opened the door, a middle-aged man with slicked-back hair immediately came into view.
"Mr. Lin?"
Upon seeing Lin Haowen, the middle-aged man immediately stood up, a smile appearing on his face.
"I am Lin Haowen. What is your relationship with Camel?"
Lin Haowen got straight to the point.
"Camel is my second uncle, and my name is Luo Xiangfu."
Luo Xiangfu took the initiative to walk up to Lin Haowen and extended his right hand.
"I have other things to do, so just tell me what's on your mind."
Lin Haowen ignored Luo Xiangfu's outstretched right hand and said calmly.
"This afternoon, the old man with white hair held a meeting of his gang in Mong Kok and temporarily took over as the leader of Tung Sing."
Luo Xiangfu's tone was laced with suppressed anger.
Upon hearing this, Lin Haowen's eyes flickered, and he secretly resolved to establish his own intelligence network as soon as possible. It was such an important piece of news that the old man with white hair was temporarily taking over as the leader of Dongxing, yet Luo Xiangfu had to tell him this.
However, he sneered, "Heh, Tung Sing really is the most unruly triad in Hong Kong. They can even rise to power by killing a gang leader, but..."
Lin Haowen's smile vanished abruptly. "What's it to me?"
"If you're just here to inform me that the old man has taken over, then I understand, you can leave now."
Lin Haowen waved his hand, indicating that Luo Xiangfu could leave.
He knew that Luo Xiangfu wanted to cooperate with him, and he also wanted to cooperate with Luo Xiangfu, but the initiative could only be in Lin Haowen's hands.
"Mr. Lin, please don't be in such a hurry. Give me a few more minutes to finish what I have to say."
Luo Xiangfu reacted just as Lin Haowen had expected, forcing a smile and becoming more respectful in his tone.
Lin Haowen sat down on the sofa with an air of nonchalance, glanced at Luo Xiangfu, and gestured for him to continue.
"When my grandfather was the head of the Tung Sing triad, he realized that in Hong Kong, the highest you could rise in the underworld was to be a chamber pot for those top families. So he split the family in two, keeping my father in the shadows while my second uncle took the stage and inherited his position as the head of the Tung Sing triad."
"Over the years, our branch has done many shady things for Second Uncle, with only one goal: to give the Luo family a legitimate place in Hong Kong..."
Before Luo Xiangfu could finish speaking, Lin Haowen interrupted him, "Mr. Luo, I don't want to hear about the Luo family's struggles. Get to the point."
"The position of Tung Sing's head is very important to our Lok family. We absolutely cannot let outsiders take it away. I hope to cooperate with Mr. Lin. In return, we will transfer all of Tung Sing's territories in Yau Tsim Mong to you."
"In addition, the old man with white hair has a lot of assets. After we get rid of him, our Luo family will not take a single penny of his assets and will give them all to you, Mr. Lin."
Seeing that Lin Haowen seemed a little impatient, Luo Xiangfu didn't waste any more words and directly showed his sincerity.
"I didn't expect the Luo family to think so highly of me?"
The generous terms offered by Luo Xiangfu surprised even Lin Haowen.
"Mr. Lin is too modest. An ordinary person who only inherited Han Chen's estate could not possibly make my second uncle submit twice."
After the camel died, Luo Xiangfu reviewed the recent events in detail and realized Lin Haowen's extraordinary qualities.
Han Chen was able to inherit Ni Yongxiao's territory because of his influence in Siam. Lin Haowen's rapid rise to power must also be due to a powerful backer.
"continue."
Lin Haowen's tone remained calm.
"..."
Luo Xiangfu hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and quickly walked up to Lin Haowen. He said in a low voice, "My second uncle has reached a cooperation agreement with a powerful force. As long as someone from our Luo family becomes the leader of Dongxing, that powerful force will help our Luo family get out of trouble."
"If Mr. Lin can help our Luo family regain the position of leader of Dongxing, I can also introduce you to that powerful force."
Upon hearing Luo Xiangfu's words, Lin Haowen instantly understood that the powerful force he was referring to must be from the United States. No wonder Luo Xiangfu had made such a big show of sending his son to run for township councilor.
Thinking of this, Lin Haowen chuckled: "Your Luo family has been operating in Dongxing for so many years, and you let the old man with white hair usurp your position so easily?"
"My second uncle spent a few years in the Netherlands. During those years, the old man used money to pave the way and won over a lot of people. Before this temple meeting, he somehow managed to bribe several of our Luo family's top brass..."
Luo Xiangfu shook his head and sighed softly.
Lin Haowen was not surprised at all. This is why the real top gangs don't get involved with drugs. Once they get involved with drugs, the money comes too quickly, and the entire structure of the gang will be broken down and disintegrated. In time, they will become "unruly".
Xu Qian, the first generation of the Xu family, was expelled from Taiwan by the British, but he could still remotely control the organization, allowing his second son, Xu Huayan, to successfully succeed him as the leader. In contrast, Camel only went to the Netherlands to hide for a few years before losing control of the organization. That's the difference.
"How can I help you?"
Lin Haowen continued to ask.
"By fighting the old man, we can tie down his main force, distract him, and create an opportunity for us to make our move."
Luo Xiangfu immediately gave an answer.
"You mean, you want me to confront Old Man Baitou, the new leader of Dongxing, and the entire Dongxing?"
Lin Haowen's expression was a half-smile.
"Mr. Lin, Tung Sing isn't that united."
Luo Xiangfu quickly replied.
"It doesn't matter if the Dongxing Group isn't united."
Lin Haowen smiled and shook his head. "My boss has a wish: to monopolize the four-piece market on Hong Kong Island. I know your Luo family has many informants in Tung Sing. Please share their purchasing information with me."
These past few days have really worn Lao Huang out, so Lin Haowen is giving him some "compensation".
"No problem, I can even promise you that once the Luo family regains control of Dongxing, we'll only source our goods from your boss!"
Luo Xiangfu's eyes lit up suddenly; he thought he had probably guessed Lin Haowen's background.
"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
Lin Haowen extended his right hand to Luo Xiangfu with a bright smile.
"It's a pleasure working with you."
Luo Xiangfu also had a bright smile on his face.
After seeing Luo Xiangfu off, Lin Haowen dialed Ya Zi's number.
"Ya Zi, why didn't you inform me about such a big deal as the old man temporarily taking over as the leader of Dongxing?"
After the call was connected, Lin Haowen immediately launched an attack.
"Feel sorry."
Ya Zi wanted to explain that she had been busy dealing with last night's events and cleaning up Lin Haowen's mess after starting work, and hadn't paid attention to information about the gang, but when she got to the point of saying it, she felt that it was just making excuses for herself, and finally chose to admit her mistake frankly.
Be more careful next time.
Lin Haowen snorted and continued, "The Luo family has a hidden network. Just now, a member of the Luo family named Luo Xiangfu contacted me and asked me to cooperate with them. Go and investigate Luo Xiangfu and this hidden network immediately."
"Um."
The bud nodded in agreement.
"Notify me immediately if you have any news."
After saying that, Lin Haowen hung up the phone.
"Beep beep beep~"
Listening to the busy tone coming from the receiver, Ya Zi felt increasingly uneasy.
"That brat thinks I'm one of his henchmen!"
……
Inside the wine company of Bai Tou Weng in Mong Kok.
"Uncle Ben, Mona was released on bail this morning."
The leopard walked up to the old man with white hair and said respectfully.
"Tell her that I'm treating her to dinner tonight, and if she doesn't give me face, then Henglai Hotel will be closed starting tonight."
Although he had successfully ascended to the throne, the old man with white hair showed no joy on his face, only a solemn expression.
He knew very well that although that important figure said Li Shimin could still become emperor even after killing his brother and imprisoning his father, he had to find the "real culprit" behind the camel's death, otherwise his position as the leader would be illegitimate.
Last night's events began with Mona's "counterattack" against Lei Yaoyang, so he will start by "unraveling" the truth from Mona's perspective and make sure to find out the "real culprit".
