He closed the file and said softly.
"Old Ghost, who works on the water line, finally couldn't hold back anymore!"
"They also want to try and see if Tung Sing has truly secured its position!"
"Then let them know!"
"It's not that we're sitting tight, it's that they can't stand up anymore!"
He didn't arrange for anyone else that night, but instead called Ah Ji himself.
"Go south and bring them back!"
"No need for surgery, and don't scare people!"
"Let's be clear—we at Tung Sing don't object to anyone doing business, but the business connections can only go through our people!"
"If they don't want to leave, then they shouldn't show their faces along this route!"
"Tell that old man that he's probably been on this island longer than I have!"
"But here now, I'm the one in charge!"
The next morning, Lin Fu was invited to the main hall.
There was no shouting for war, no elaborate display of force, and no attempt to intimidate.
When Xu Lang met him, he was wearing a black shirt and poured two cups of tea, one for him and one for himself.
Lin Fu had completely white hair, thin skin, and relatively clear eyes. It was clear that he was a sensible person, neither pretending to be stupid nor beating around the bush.
The tea hadn't even cooled down when he spoke first.
"I don't want to rob it!"
"We can't steal even those old connections we have!"
"I just feel that our industry can't afford to lose its old ways!"
After listening, Xu Lang picked up his teacup, took a sip, neither nodded nor smiled, and simply said: Ling.
Chapter 651 Unworthy to Speak
"When Lao Lu was around, nobody wanted to leave!"
"Now that the new road has been paved, the old road has suddenly appeared. Isn't that a bit too coincidental?"
Lin Fu remained silent.
Xu Lang put down his teacup.
"I'm not here for you guys, I'm here to see who you want to pick up and who you want to run routes for!"
"If you're truly committed, I can consider you my seniors!"
"But if you want to pave the way, test the waters, or tie the knots for others, then I can only consider you my enemies!"
Lin Fu then said softly:
"We just want to have a bite to eat!"
Xu Lang got up and stood by the window, looking out.
"There's no shortage of food on Hong Kong Island!"
"It's the way you're eating that's wrong!"
"Things are different now than they used to be!"
"Just because someone has lived on Island 663 for decades doesn't mean they can speak!"
"These days, whoever controls the line stays!"
"If you want to eat, sit down and sign the contract!"
"If you don't want to sign, don't blame me for starving you for three days!"
Lin Fu didn't say anything more, he just nodded.
The next morning, all of Bailitang's resources related to "Yicheng Shipping" were handed over.
Lin re-signed a five-year "Independent Route Operation Cooperation Agreement," stipulating that all waterway transportation must be dispatched by Dongxing, all contacting units must be registered, and all project funds must be pre-approved.
This marks the first time that Tung Sing has completely taken control of the Hong Kong Island shipping routes.
With this agreement finalized, Dongxing Industry officially covers logistics across land, sea, and air.
From cargo ships entering the port, transshipment at the dock, land distribution, warehousing and cold chain, to cargo distribution, channel delivery, and supermarket shelf placement—all processes must be controlled by Dongxing.
This entire industrial chain forms a closed loop.
From then on, anyone in Hong Kong's underworld who wanted to make money, whether they were smugglers, parallel traders, street vendors, speculators, or wholesalers, had to be mindful of Tung Sing's attitude if they wanted to move a truckload of goods.
This time, no one dared to say no.
Xu Lang did not hold a celebration, a meeting, or a notice.
He simply sat on the second floor of the main building, watching the flow of people outside the window, and slowly exhaled.
He knew that the most difficult part was yet to come.
Establishing a complete industrial chain is the first step.
The true war is the unification of people's hearts and minds.
The next round's target is neither territory nor projects.
are people.
It refers to those who haven't yet chosen a side, those who previously chose the wrong side but are now still observing.
They either submit completely or disappear completely.
There is no choice.
Several days have passed.
On the surface, the streets of Hong Kong Island are calm and peaceful.
Businesses that were supposed to open continued to operate as usual, factories that were supposed to be moving goods continued to run at night, and containers were being hauled out of the docks one truckload after another. No one could tell that the undercurrents beneath this city were beginning to churn.
On the third floor of the East Star headquarters, Xu Lang sat in his black leather executive chair, a cigarette between his fingers, his brows slightly furrowed.
The computer in front of him was off, and he hadn't looked at any documents. There was a half-extinguished cigarette butt in the ashtray on the coffee table, and the water for making tea next to him was still warm.
"Say it!"
He exhaled a puff of smoke, his tone indifferent.
Standing in front of him was Lei Yaoyang.
Lei Yaoyang was wearing a black suit with the collar unbuttoned. He seemed to be suppressing his anger, but there was still a hint of resentment in his eyes.
He bent down.
"Boss, the 'Caiyunlou' restaurant near Tongluo North was vandalized last night!"
Xu Lang didn't say anything, but simply raised his chin, signaling him to continue.
"It was done by people from the Tianlong Society."
Long Fei brought more than a dozen men, armed with firearms, and they started smashing things onto the gambling table as soon as they entered.
Our people held their ground; nothing serious happened.
Chapter 652 Killing from Beginning to End
But with the place in such a mess, many regulars were making sarcastic remarks this morning, saying things like Tung Sing is finished and people are taking advantage of them!
Lei Yaoyang lowered his voice as he spoke: "What I mean is, let's just take back in one fell swoop and wipe out the Tianlong Society!"
Xu Lang didn't speak; he tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, as if weighing something.
"That bastard Long Fei used to be so honest and simple."
Why has he suddenly gone crazy lately? Isn't he afraid of dying?
Sitting on the sofa to the right, Hong Wentong picked up his cup, took a sip of tea, and said, "Where did he get the guts to take the lead himself? He must have some powerful backers."
He met several times with Big Tooth Li of the Double Dragons Gang and Cai Dafa of the Dafa Gang. Through Liu Yongxing's matchmaking, several small gangs formed a small alliance, and now they all fly the flag of the Three Mouths Gang!
"Relying on the Tojo Mountain branch?" Xu Lang's eyes turned cold.
Hong Wentong nodded: "That's true."
Matsui has been very active lately; his peripheral casinos, underground banks, and logistics fleets are all trying to find out about us.
"I guess the Tojoyama branch thinks we've backed down because they haven't made a move!"
"Soft my ass!" Lei Yaoyang cursed, his face contorted with rage.
"What's your hurry!" Xu Lang glanced at him: "If they want to rob me, they'd better think twice about whether they have enough heads for me to chop off!"
"What do we do, boss?" Lei Yaoyang lowered his voice, but still gritted his teeth.
Xu Lang stood up, walked to the window, looked at an office building on the opposite harbor, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
"We didn't move because I didn't understand what they were planning to do."
Now I understand, they wanted to gradually erode my territory from the outside, and then slowly take it all in?
He turned to Hong Wentong and said, "Have Xi Gui investigate who Long Fei has been associating with lately. Once he finds out, I'll go find him myself!"
"You're going in person?" Hong Wentong was taken aback.
"What, just because I'm the boss doesn't mean I can't go out?" Xu Lang sneered. "Didn't they say I'm just sitting in the office doing nothing? Perfect, I've been bored out of my mind these past few days!"
"Then I'll arrange some people?" Wang Jianjun asked.
"No need, bring fewer people, don't make a big fuss!" Xu Lang's tone was lazy, but his eyes were sharp: "I just want to see how long Long Fei can keep up this act!"
"Yes!"
"Oh, right!" Xu Lang added, "Call Aji along and have him bring two of his Alpha team brothers."
