Chapter 036 He reaped what he sowed, what a fool!
At Baohua Teahouse, Lin Huai Le sat with Chuan Bao in a tea bag, chatting casually, while Fei Ji seemed rather quiet.
Before long, Chen Piao entered the tea bag.
After greeting Lin Huai Le and Chuan Bao as usual, he glanced at the plane next to him and noticed that the plane's eyes were darting away.
The look in their eyes didn't reveal any resentment or dissatisfaction.
It's clear that although this guy is ambitious for fame and fortune, he's not as cunning as the guy from Dongguan. He was obviously dragged here by Lin Huai Le.
"Chen Piao? You've got quite the nerve! You've only been at Wo Luen Shing for a few days, and you're already beating up your own brothers without any hesitation!"
As soon as Chen Piao sat down, Chuan Bao took the initiative to launch an attack.
Actually, he was a little impatient. Feiji, that good-for-nothing, would only care about whoever fed him. Ever since he recognized Lin Huai Le as his godfather, he never paid any attention to him, the one who was in charge.
If he weren't nominally the top dog of the plane, Chuanbao wouldn't want to get involved in this mess at all.
Chen Piao answered confidently and naturally.
"Uncle, Brother Le, actually this really isn't my fault."
Yesterday, I was receiving the underwater book in Tsim Sha Tsui when a plane suddenly pulled in and asked to see the Kowloon Centre.
I don't know him. I was originally thinking of calling you, Brother Le, to verify if it was true or not, but before I could even say a word, we started fighting.
Upon hearing this, the plane turned its head to the side and remained silent.
Lin Huai-le took a deep breath.
"Chen Piao, I did call the plane. I had previously arranged with him that once you've risen to a position in Tsim Sha Tsui, I would also have him come to you for some business."
However, I didn't let him take the Kowloon Centre site with him, but...
As Lin Huai Le spoke, his gaze began to sharpen.
"He just introduced himself, and you still hit him? Isn't that a bit too against the rules?"
"Brother Le, this is not in accordance with the rules, but you probably don't understand the situation."
The one who started it was the plane; he broke Sha Qiang's arm, and he's still in the hospital.
The doctor said it was a moderate concussion, which may leave lasting effects.
At the time, I was collecting lists of stalls in Tsim Sha Tsui. If I didn't act soon, I was afraid the stalls I had worked so hard to set up in Tsim Sha Tsui would fall apart again.
As Chen Piao spoke, he looked at Chuanbao and said in a serious tone.
"The Ni family and their associates had always been quite critical of joining Wo Shing Wo."
Yesterday's plane crash caused even more panic, and many people wanted to quit. In the end, I had to offer some terms to calm them down.
"Uncle, do you think I've really lost my mind? Last night I spent millions throwing money around in Tsim Sha Tsui, and then I got taken away by those Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) officers. What was the reason for that?"
Chuanbao was immediately stunned.
Chen Piao's words were indeed reasonable. He had gone to great lengths to set up Wo Luen Shing, but his underlings had to cause trouble when they were collecting the roster.
It would have been one thing if they had just caused trouble, but they also beat someone so badly that they were paralyzed in a hospital bed, forcing Chen Piao to pay out of his own pocket to settle the matter.
Wo Luen Shing is a place that values rules, and as a veteran of the triad, he felt it wouldn't be right for him to cause trouble for Chen Piao again, both morally and logically.
In an awkward moment, Chuan Bao's face grew increasingly embarrassed, and he looked at Lin Huai Le.
"Ah Le, why didn't you tell me that the plane started the fight?"
Lin Huai Le frowned, unsure how to respond.
He hadn't expected Chen Piao to use the millions he'd spent last night as a bargaining chip to appease the Ni family on behalf of Wo Luen Shing. The plane had acted first, and Chen Piao had spent so much money; if things continued to escalate, it wouldn't look good if word got back to Fat Deng.
After much deliberation, Lin Huai-le finally decided to shift the blame to the plane.
"Airplane, why didn't you explain yourself clearly before?"
The plane lowered its head: "Godfather, I already said we should just let this go, but you insisted on dragging me here..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Piao finally understood why Feiji was so disliked at Wo Luen Shing.
It is said that the martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing, but more importantly, about human relationships and social interactions.
People with low emotional intelligence are really hard to get big shots to be interested in praising them.
"Brother Le, it's not really Feiji's fault. I made such a big misunderstanding because I didn't know him."
Actually, his skills are top-notch. If I had been able to work in Yau Tsim Mong for a while earlier, how could I not recognize him?
Upon hearing this, the plane immediately glanced gratefully at Chen Piao.
He was a stubborn man; if he was powerless to resist Chen Piao's attack, he could only accept his bad luck.
Chen Piao has now helped him regain some of the face he lost, and all the unpleasantness from yesterday has vanished from his heart in an instant.
Lin Huai-le couldn't help but sigh, and could only hastily draw a conclusion at that moment.
"Alright, I called you over so early in the morning not to cause trouble for any of you."
I just want you to know that we're all living under the same roof, and the most important thing is for us to be respectful and humble to each other.
We at Lian Sheng value harmony above all else. We must all work together as a family and avoid making such a fool of ourselves again!
The morning tea was finished in less than five minutes, and Lin Huai Le didn't want to ramble on any longer.
He was worried that if the discussion continued on this topic, Chen Piao would ask him to reimburse the two million yuan in appeasement expenses.
Now, whether it's Jordan himself or the triad's public accounts, they've reached the point where income can't cover expenses, and he doesn't want to spend another penny.
After the morning tea ended, Lin Huai Le and Fei Ji left first.
Chuanbao had arranged to play cards with someone in Yau Ma Tei, so he walked behind.
Chen Piao did not choose to return to Tsim Sha Tsui. Looking at Chuanbao swaying back and forth at the entrance of the teahouse and card room, he felt that he needed to win over this veteran of Wo Shing Wo.
Although he has now taken the top spot in Tsim Sha Tsui, Lam Wai-lok will inevitably continue to create trouble in the future in order to extend his reach into this lucrative area.
Currently, he is still a newcomer in the eyes of the Wo Shing triad members, making it all the more valuable for him to build his own power base within the organization.
While the Wo Luen Shing government claims to hold elections every two years, it is actually still a council of elders system. Therefore, Chuan Bao, an uncle with considerable influence, became the first person he tried to win over.
There was no other reason than that Chen Piao knew this guy had taken a bribe and was genuinely doing things for you!
"Uncle, is it convenient for us to talk privately?"
After Chuanbao entered the card room, Chen Piao followed him in.
With a slight smile on his face, he immediately stated his purpose upon meeting her.
Chuanbao had already sat down at the card table with a fellow player. Although he didn't refuse, his attitude seemed rather cold.
"Just say what you want to say; there are no outsiders here!"
"Okay! Actually, the plane incident was really an accident."
After thinking it over, I still feel guilty. I've embarrassed you, my uncle, and I'm truly uneasy about it.
"There's nothing to be uneasy about. Although Feiqi is my student, he's a bit dim-witted, so he deserved to get beaten up!"
"That's not how it works. I'm the one running the business in Tsim Sha Tsui now, and I'll still need the support of you uncles in the future."
There happen to be a few mahjong parlors in Tsim Sha Tsui, but they're not usually frequented. I'm thinking of taking over these mahjong parlors...
"Hey, Daozaipiao said he wanted to chat with me alone. I didn't tell you to leave, so you're really not leaving?"
How can you be so shameless? Do I really have to ask you to leave?!
Having understood Chen Piao's meaning, Chuan Bao immediately interrupted Chen Piao.
He feigned anger and called out to another uncle-like figure sitting next to him at the mahjong table.
Speaking of the uncles of Wo Luen Shing, they were all shrewd and capable men.
Mao Dun naturally understood the meaning behind Chuan Bao's words and immediately put down his teacup.
"Okay, then I'll go out for some fresh air first."
When Fei Hua and Huo Niu arrive, tell them to wait outside so they don't ruin your exciting business!
