Chapter 37 From a grand undertaking to a disappointing end!
A group of dozens of gangsters dressed in black silk clothes and wearing red belts broke through the Dongfuhe gang from the other side of the pier.
The leader was the head of Fu Yi Xing, known in the underworld as Uncle Ji, nicknamed Wang Lao Ji.
If you were to ask which triad in Hong Kong dares to go head-to-head with Tung Fook Wo, it would be Fook Yee Hing. Known in the underworld as "the oldest Fook Yee Hing," this triad is a veteran among Hong Kong's triads.
Fu Yixing still has a large following and is at its peak, frequently competing with Dong Fuhe for territory and business.
When Wang Laoji heard that Dongfuhe's men were making a big fuss to steal Boss Huo's business, he immediately led his men to see what was going on.
If this could cause some trouble for Dongfu, that would be even better!
That damn Dongfu has been really disregarding the rules of the underworld lately when he's grabbing territory; he's always calling the police to arrest people.
Wang Laoji has suffered a lot. Even though he doesn't have much of a relationship with Boss Huo, he's willing to do anything to make Dongfuhe unhappy!
Just like a popular saying in later years, you just need to initiate the team fight, and others will naturally follow! Teammates will be automatically matched!
Originally, Wang Laoji was hiding in the background and had no intention of showing up. He would not lead Fu Yixing to fight Dong Fuhe just because of Boss Huo.
But after seeing Zhang Guohao single-handedly take down more than a dozen elite thugs, what else is there to say?
If we don't step forward now, wouldn't that be a waste of the opportunity to put pressure on Dongfuhe?
Greedy people and bullying the weak, kicking someone when they're down—these are their signature skills for navigating the underworld!
The moment Fatty saw Wanglaoji appear, his expression turned even uglier.
"Boss Huo, long time no see! Aren't you supposed to be doing legitimate business? How come you're getting into a fight with someone?"
Wang Laoji, accompanied by his henchmen, walked up to Boss Huo and greeted him with clasped hands.
It's clear that Wanglaoji is trying to support and cheer on Boss Huo.
"Uncle Ji, it's been a long time. I didn't expect to have bothered you."
Boss Huo clasped his hands in a fist salute, not too excited. He wasn't stupid; he knew why the other party had come, and there was no need for him to be too grateful.
"Yes, it's really lively!"
"Boss Huo, we'd like to join in the fun too."
"That's pretty bad, should we call an ambulance?"
Several larger gangs then gathered around, and the leaders made many provocative and sarcastic remarks towards Dongfu.
These are all medium to large-sized gangs with territories in the surrounding area. They were picked out not necessarily for the sake of chivalry, but definitely to smear Dongfuhe's reputation!
Zhang Guohao was speechless at the sight of this situation. "Where were you all before? You had already taken charge of the situation yourselves, and you picked on one by one. Shameless!"
Isn't this stealing my thunder?
However, these people were somewhat of an added bonus, and Zhang Guohao couldn't just tell them to get lost. He had to clasp his hands in greeting to them, as he had to give them face in the underworld!
"Brother, you've got impressive skills. Ever thought about joining the underworld? If you come to our Fu Yi Xing, you'll be promoted to Red Pole in no time!"
Seeing Zhang Guohao's murderous look, Wang Laoji immediately spoke up.
In the clubs, there are rules for promotion: three years of "blue lantern" (highest rank), three years of "four-nine" (highest rank), three years of "old four-nine" (highest rank), then the bottom, and finally the leader.
If a powerful person switches to another organization, they sometimes receive special treatment, which is like a bolt from the blue, instantly securing a high-ranking position.
"If this brother goes to Fuk Yee Hing, our gang will be willing to award him a red flower. This brother's skills are enough to make him a Double Flower Red Stick!"
Immediately, other gang leaders spoke to Zhang Guohao, wanting to join in the fun.
Zhang Guohao has already taken down two double-flower red sticks. In the real world of gangsters, being a double-flower red stick is nothing special!
However, it is obvious that these two people are deliberately trying to embarrass Dong Fuhe by saying these words to put him down!
They knew that Zhang Guohao was Boss Huo's man, so how could he possibly join the gang?
Zhang Guohao glanced at Dongfu and Lanzai across the street. Since none of them had stepped forward, he could only turn back and exchange pleasantries with Wang Laoji and the others.
"Thank you all for your kind words, but I am not a member of the martial arts world, so I can only apologize."
Zhang Guohao walked back to Boss Huo's side and spoke to Wang Laoji and the others.
Wang Laoji and the others didn't mind and chatted with Boss Huo and Zhang Guohao.
"Hey! Are you still going to fight or not? If you're going to fight, then fight now. If not, get lost."
Zhang Guohao then shouted in the direction of Dongfuhe and the number gang.
Fatty Xin and Ge Dalong exchanged a glance, both of them considering retreating. Since they hadn't been able to suppress Zhang Guohao from the start, they had no chance left!
Now, both of them are filled with regret. Why did they have to think of making an example of someone? They should have just sent all their forces to overwhelm the enemy with numbers!
As a result, both sides wanted to preserve their strength and make an example of Zhang Guohao to deter others. They wanted to use Zhang Guohao's elimination to put pressure on the other side.
Who would have thought Zhang Guohao would be so damn fierce!
Now several more troublesome gangs have emerged, and hundreds more have joined Boss Huo's side, narrowing the gap in manpower between the two sides considerably.
If we were to fight now, the underlings might not be willing to go, unless we offer them more money!
Fatty looked at Ge Dalongtou and gestured with his eyes for Ge Dalongtou to pay up, since Ge Dalongtou was the one who instigated this whole thing.
Ge Dalong had long since turned his gaze to the sky. It was a rare clear day, without a single cloud in the sky, but he simply wouldn't let Fatty's new gaze fall upon him.
Just kidding, I was hoping to get a bargain, why would I pay more?
As for whether it will offend Dong Fuhe?
How can you survive in this world without offending someone?
Ge Dalong calls him Brother Xin, but he's not really afraid of Dong Fuhe!
Fatty Xin was furious seeing Ge Da Longtou like this! Now that Dongfuhe had been put on a pedestal, he couldn't even argue with Ge Da Longtou; that would be too beneath him!
But no one is offering a way out, and there's no guarantee of success if we fight. This is a difficult situation!
"The police are here!"
Suddenly, someone outside shouted!
Several hundred people gathered at the dock, but they weren't working. Some merchant ship owners had already gone to the foreigners because they couldn't unload their cargo, which was affecting everyone's business!
"Consider yourselves lucky. The foreigners are here, but we're far away and the world is ours to explore. This isn't over yet!"
Fatty's new eyes immediately came to life. He pointed at Boss Huo, shouted, and ran away without looking back.
Dongfuhe's men also made a few harsh remarks, and taking advantage of the news that the police were coming, they all ran away!
The people from the other gang ran even faster. When Ge Dalong saw that Dong Fuhe's men were about to run away, he took advantage of the moment when the other side was making threats and disappeared.
"You coward, you wimp!"
"Hahaha, why don't you stay and continue the one-on-one fight!"
"Hey, you guys are embarrassing yourselves! There's still one left!"
Huo Laoban's men were still able to control their emotions and didn't show much reaction. Wang Laoji and the others saw Dong Fuhe's men running away in such a hurry, so they chased after them and started mocking them!
For a moment, the dock was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
A large-scale battle turned into a half-hearted conflict.
