Chapter 038 Get Rich Early
After finishing his call with Liu Jianming, Chen Piao tossed the phone onto the coffee table and lit a cigarette.
Leaning on the balcony of his apartment building, gazing at Victoria Harbour in the distance, he couldn't help but sigh.
Becoming a superior person is by no means an easy thing.
Even though he is now the nominal head of the Luen Shing Tsim Sha Tsui branch and has a golden touch, completing the initial accumulation of capital is not an easy task.
Although he had hundreds of henchmen under his command, he still had to do everything himself to make that $100 million, and he couldn't use any of his subordinates.
But so what? Li Ka-shing worked as a handcrafter in a plastic flower factory back in the day. If he can't even overcome these difficulties, how can he expect to make a name for himself?!
……
After two busy days, things have finally settled down in Tsim Sha Tsui for now.
With enough manpower available now, there's no need for me to take Shark Boy and the others to the venue myself.
After dinner, it was already 7 p.m. Chen Piao felt he couldn't wait any longer. He instructed Shark to make proper arrangements for the work at the venue, and then, following the information provided by Liu Jianming, he drove a van to the vicinity of Chang Lok Street in Yau Ma Tei and found Tiger playing gambling machines in an arcade.
This place is adjacent to Huo Niu's Tuodi, which is Wang Bao's territory. He's the one who took down three informants and one undercover agent in the police force in a year.
These days, video games, as a new entertainment industry, are not very common in Hong Kong.
Although Wang Bao's territory in Yau Ma Tei was not large, his reputation was extremely well-known. Chen Guozhong of the Yau Ma Tei Anti-Triad Squad had been fighting with him for many years, but instead of suppressing Wang Bao, he had only made Wang Bao more and more successful.
There's a saying circulating on Changle Street now: "After midnight, Wang Bao calls the shots on the whole street!"
As an undercover agent who had been deeply involved in the Yau Tsim Mong district for many years, Chen Piao had also analyzed the reasons for Wang Bao's arrogance.
The reason is actually quite simple: Wang Bao is quick-witted, knows how to make money through all sorts of shady dealings, has a lot of money, and is never stingy with his henchmen.
Therefore, whenever the anti-triad team found something to use against him, countless henchmen would step forward to take the blame for him, essentially selling their lives to Wang Bao.
He speaks with authority on Chang Le Street, and he doesn't seek excessive expansion. He doesn't care about territory or anything like that; he only wants to maintain his monopoly business.
For example, he was the first to start the arcade and slot machine business in the Yau Tsim Mong area. The gangsters in Yau Tsim Mong looked down on these businesses, and those who did were no match for Wang Bao.
"Damn! The odds are wrong!"
Inside the noisy arcade, Tiger Boy was betting on the fruit machine, losing a thousand points in three consecutive rounds. He couldn't help but yell at the janitor behind him.
He subconsciously raised his hand, about to slam it heavily onto the machine in front of him.
But in the end, he didn't dare to take a picture; he didn't have the guts to cause trouble on Wang Bao's turf.
"If the odds aren't right, just switch machines."
But looking at you like this, you're sure to lose from start to finish tonight!
Just as Tiger Boy was about to call people over to rank up again, a bunch of inflammatory remarks reached his eyes.
Turning his head, he saw a young man half a head taller than him standing behind him, a cigarette dangling from his lips, looking at him with a half-smile.
The one who mocked Tiger Cub was none other than Chen Piao, who had come looking for him.
Tiger Boy was already furious from losing, but he was worried that Chen Piao was watching the game, so he didn't lash out for the time being.
"Who the hell are you?"
call--
Chen Piao blew a puff of smoke into Tiger Boy's face and sneered.
"Hey, Brother Tian Yangsheng, I have some questions for you!"
wow-
As soon as he finished speaking, Tiger Cub seemed to see a death knell coming for him. He leaped up and smashed the chair he was sitting on at Chen Piao.
He immediately pushed through the crowd and ran desperately towards the outside.
Chen Piao caught the chair steadily, and watching the tiger cub running for its life, he did not rush to chase after it.
He took a deep drag on his cigarette, and just as Tiger Boy was about to reach the arcade entrance, he raised the chair in his hand, swung his arm, and threw the chair at Tiger Boy.
"Get away! Ah—"
This powerful blow knocked the tiger cub to the ground, and the wooden chair cracked and fell apart.
This immediately alerted the janitors in the venue, and five or six thugs with unfriendly expressions surrounded them.
Chen Piao didn't want to get entangled with these people any longer. As he walked toward Tiger Boy, he took out several five-hundred-yuan bills from his pocket.
Without even looking at it, he shoved it into the hands of the janitor who was standing close to him.
"Three thousand yuan is more than enough to compensate you for a chair; please use the rest for tea."
The bouncer was taken aback for a moment, then naturally took the money and stuffed it into his pocket.
"Hey, settle your scores outside, don't cause trouble here!"
Chen Piao ignored him, grabbed Tiger Cub's yellow hair, and dragged him up from the ground.
Tiger Cub, already dazed and confused from being pounded, had no strength left to resist. He was dragged and pulled by Chen Piao onto the bread truck parked outside.
……
"It's none of my business, I'm just a gun seller!"
On a small boat departing from Tsim Sha Tsui Pier, Tiger Boy was tightly bound, his face filled with fear, and he kept begging for mercy from Chen Piao, who was steering the boat.
Chen Piao didn't bother with it. He knew that Zhang Wen had contacted the seven siblings of Tian Yangsheng through an informant and had been hiding behind the scenes from beginning to end, planning this robbery.
Rather than letting Tian Yangsheng and the others unravel the mystery step by step, it would be better to skip the tedious procedures and directly inform the true mastermind behind their betrayal.
After all, they can't wait until tomorrow to make their fortune, and they don't want to wait even a moment longer.
After an unknown amount of time, the fishing boat came to a stop on a dark stretch of sea. Chen Piao turned off the engine, leaving only a dim light in the cabin.
Then, dragging a greasy iron hammer, he came to Tiger Cub's side.
"I'm pressed for time. I'll ask you questions now, and you'll answer them. Do you understand?"
"It really has nothing to do with me, I just..."
boom--
Before Tiger Boy could finish speaking, Chen Piao swung the hammer in his hand and smashed it solidly into Tiger Boy's right ankle.
Fear was far more terrifying than pain. Tiger Cub felt a spasm in his brain and stomach. After a few howls, he looked at Chen Piao with even more fear in his eyes.
"Now I'm asking you, do you know where Tian Yangsheng and the others are?"
"B-Boss, they're hunting me down all over the world right now. I'm trying to avoid them as much as possible, how am I supposed to know where they are?"
Tiger Cub was in so much pain that tears were streaming down his face, but looking at the dark iron hammer in front of him, he didn't dare to be careless and quickly told the truth.
"How can I find them?"
"You're not with them? No...no, I know!"
Seeing Chen Piao raise the hammer again, Tiger Boy quickly changed his tune.
"They went to the Shui Bian Wei area a while ago to buy weapons from the judge. I only found out they were back through the judge's group!"
"Boss... these people are all crazy! Don't mess with them, absolutely don't mess with them!"
thump—
The hammer was slammed down, making a dull thud on the deck, which startled Tiger Cub and made him shudder.
Chen Piao finally understood why Liu Ying had told him that the warehouse had been emptied when he went to Pan Guan and the others to buy weapons some time ago.
If nothing unexpected happens, these guys should have been wiped out by Tian Yangsheng and his siblings.
No wonder he's a ruthless gangster who dared to bomb an armored truck in Central; this time, he's back for revenge, and he's going all out!
