Every time He Yuzhu thought about this, he would get so angry that he wished he could sneak into Feng Junkai's house in the middle of the night and take care of him.
But after calming down and thinking about it carefully, even if Feng Junkai were really eliminated, the higher-ups would definitely send someone else to take his place.
Moreover, the newly appointed guy might have an even bigger appetite than Feng Junkai! For this reason, He Yuzhu temporarily suppressed his impulse and did not take any rash action.
Ultimately, the root cause of this situation lies in the broader social environment. Keep in mind, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) wouldn't be established for another seven or eight years!
In that turbulent era, a fierce struggle was quietly unfolding.
Back in the 80s, Hong Kong was like a turbulent ocean, with a business environment that was unpredictable and volatile.
After a long and arduous period, it wasn't until the mid-to-late 80s that the business atmosphere on this land gradually stabilized. However, beneath the calm surface, undercurrents were still surging.
In such a challenging yet opportune environment, relying solely on intelligence and diligence is clearly far from sufficient to establish oneself and achieve success.
Ruthlessness has become a survival strategy for many, and having a powerful backer is even more crucial.
Just then, Feng Junkai appeared. He said with a solemn expression, "I'm also doing this on someone else's behalf. You should leave those 11 people to me."
It turned out that after he took in those 11 gangsters, the guy named Xiong Ge quickly found out about it.
Xiong Ge was a formidable figure in the underworld, and his influence was not to be underestimated. Therefore, he used various connections to find Feng Junkai and entrusted him with the task of getting those people back.
Upon hearing Feng Junkai's request, the man referred to as Lao He frowned and retorted with displeasure:
"Detective Feng, look at these injuries on my body! They're all thanks to these guys! They almost killed me! You think you can just take them away with a casual remark? Does that mean any Tom, Dick, or Harry can come and bully me at will?"
Faced with Lao He's complaints, Feng Junkai softened his tone slightly, but his attitude remained firm:
"Old He, I'm only doing this out of consideration for our years of friendship! You'd better be sensible and call the person over quickly."
Seeing this, Lao He was dissatisfied, but he also knew that Feng Junkai had strong backing.
Left with no other option, he could only continue to press for answers:
"This time, I received a call from above personally, instructing me to handle this matter properly. So, I can hand over the person, but there has to be a reasonable explanation, right?"
Feng Junkai pondered for a moment, then patted his chest and assured Lao He:
"Old He, don't worry. As long as you cooperate this time and hand the person over to me, I guarantee that nothing like this will ever happen to you again. After all, this is my territory, and I won't tolerate anyone running wild here!"
He Yuzhu curled his lip in disdain, thinking to himself, what good is that so-called guarantee? How can I entrust my personal safety to someone else? I must keep it firmly in my own hands!
Since the other party dares to extend those filthy claws to provoke us, then don't blame us for showing no mercy.
However, faced with the detective's aggressive threats, He Yuzhu knew that it was not advisable to confront him directly at this time, so he had no choice but to compromise and back down for the time being.
After hanging up with the detective, He Yuzhu immediately dialed Jin Ya Tang's number and gave the order in a serious tone:
"Get the person there right now!"
Seeing this, Du Weifang asked with a puzzled look, "Are you going to hand them over like this?"
He Yuzhu sighed helplessly and replied, "It was a last resort, but even though the person has been handed over, this matter can't be left so easily!"
Du Weifang then pressed on, asking, "So what exactly are your plans next?"
He Yuzhu's gaze sharpened, and he said in a deep voice, "First, try to gather detailed information about that Xiong Ge and find out exactly what kind of background he has."
They acted immediately, and soon enough, they successfully found information about Xiong Ge.
It turns out that this "Brother Xiong" is actually named Wang Zexiong, and he has a strong presence in several streets in the North Point area.
Even more coincidentally, the property Elena had previously purchased happened to be located within his territory.
Initially, He Yuzhu thought that as long as he and his men could leave safely, the turmoil would subside.
So during that period, he did not take any further action.
Although He Yuzhu occasionally shows a ruthless side, he has received a good education over the years and still has some respect for violence.
He didn't want to become a ruthless gang leader.
Chapter 440 What is this all about?
Therefore, He Yuzhu did not confront the man at the time, intending to let it go and give him a break. However, to his surprise, although he was willing to be lenient, the other party had no such intention and was even unwilling to let him go.
After careful consideration, one can guess that the other party has probably successfully located one's position and figured out the patterns of one's daily activities.
That's why they dared to send people to try and injure him while he was off work.
Fortunately, I was lucky and survived unharmed.
What's even more infuriating is that after their operation failed, the perpetrators shamelessly sent someone to demand the return of the perpetrators.
Because Detective Feng personally exerted pressure, He Yuzhu acted decisively and sent those people to the police station without hesitation.
After he handed these people over to the uniformed police officers, he was invited into Detective Feng's office.
Detective Feng, with a broad smile, said:
"Old He, I'm treating you to dinner tonight. Ah Xiong will also be coming. It's all just a misunderstanding. Let's sit down and talk things over. We can work together and make money in the future!"
Only then did He Yuzhu realize that there was a banquet waiting for him that night.
This clearly shows that the other party intends to seek peace.
However, it is important to note that I have always adhered to one principle: I will never offend others unless they offend me.
Now that the other party has become our adversary, the so-called reconciliation is utter nonsense.
Of course, even if you don't want to reconcile with them in your heart, you still have to put on a show and at least pretend to be willing to reconcile.
“Great! I’ve never been a fan of fighting and killing. It would be wonderful if we could all sit down and have a peaceful talk. But I’ll be the host for dinner tonight.”
He Yuzhu wore a kind smile, and spoke with sincerity and firmness.
"That's great! We're all here to make money, so discussing things calmly is the right thing to do." Upon hearing this, Feng Junkai breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, such a vicious conflict, where one side just sent people to try to kill the other side, failed, and immediately sought reconciliation, is truly a tricky and troublesome situation.
"Since you are new here, remember not to make too much of a fuss or create too many enemies. Only in this way can you make a fortune and achieve great things."
"Thank you for your guidance, Detective Feng. You know my character; I'm not the kind of person who likes to cause trouble."
He Yuzhu's territory was nothing more than the very edges and nooks and crannies of Wan Chai.
Usually, only those who lack skills would choose to go there to make a living.
He Yuzhu, however, only occupied a few streets in this area. Moreover, after taking control of this area, he did not rush to expand his power, and he treated his subordinates with both kindness and strictness, managing them effectively.
Because of this, nothing too bad has ever happened in this small area, and not a single penny of the money that should have been given as gifts has ever been short.
A person who understands the big picture and prioritizes the overall situation is undoubtedly an outstanding comrade!
The two chatted casually for a while, their conversation filled with curiosity and probing of each other.
They then got into a luxury car and sped off towards Causeway Bay.
Central is a bustling commercial center with towering skyscrapers. Although it has a variety of restaurants, Causeway Bay is the real go-to place for dining and entertainment.
During the day, Central is undoubtedly the focus of attention; however, once night falls, Causeway Bay becomes the most bustling and dazzling place in the city.
Here, restaurants stand side by side, countless in number.
The streets and alleys are filled with the aroma of delicious food, making mouths water. In addition, there are all kinds of entertainment facilities that are dazzling, ranging from high-end nightclubs to affordable arcades.
Among them, the most famous is the Lee Theatre, owned by the Lee family. Not only is its exterior magnificent, but its interior decoration is also exquisite, attracting countless celebrities and the wealthy to come for entertainment.
However, the location for this negotiation was not Liwutai.
After the car came to a slow stop, the two entered the gate of a restaurant and went straight into a spacious and elegant private room.
Upon entering, one sees a burly man with a fierce face sitting upright at the table, exuding an aura of authority that is clearly that of a powerful figure.
Upon seeing them enter, the man immediately stood up with a broad smile and warmly extended his strong, powerful hands.
Upon seeing this, Feng Junkai quickly stepped forward and exchanged a few pleasantries with him, his words revealing great respect.
Immediately afterwards, Feng Junkai introduced He Yuzhu, who was standing next to him, to his older brother.
Although the two sides had fought fiercely before, they were extremely polite to each other when they met.
The atmosphere inside the private room was harmonious, with no hint of tension.
At this moment, Feng Junkai raised his glass and said heartily, "I propose we all have a toast! From now on, we're good friends, let's work together to make a fortune!"
The other two chimed in, "Let's get rich together!"
With a crisp clinking sound, the three glasses collided tightly together, and then the three of them tilted their heads back and drank it all in one gulp, emptying their glasses instantly.
The two talked about nothing more than trivial matters in daily life, but He Yuzhu, with his keen insight and rich experience, soon realized that the other party did not seem to intend to make a big deal out of it.
From the other party's words and actions, he vaguely sensed that the other party seemed to have already recognized that his side had some real skills.
However, despite this, He Yuzhu remained highly vigilant, but on the surface, he dealt with the other party in a calm and polite manner.
The entire dinner proceeded in this seemingly harmonious yet subtly ambiguous atmosphere, with both sides exchanging words that were not what they truly meant.
Before we knew it, the meal was over, and the meeting ended with a handshake goodbye.
With a smile on his face, He Yuzhu tightly grasped Ah Xiong's outstretched hand. The moment their palms touched, He Yuzhu secretly mobilized the vital energy within his body and skillfully controlled it to flow rapidly along the meridians in his arm, like an invisible torrent rushing straight into Ah Xiong's body, unimpeded all the way, until it reached Ah Xiong's heart before stopping.
In fact, this little trick that can inject vital energy into another person's body and then hide it is the result that He Yuzhu has recently figured out after a long period of dedicated research and continuous experimentation.
Moreover, according to his conclusions from numerous experiments, if injected properly, this primordial energy can remain dormant in the other person's body for several days.
