Chapter 175 Woohoo, my dad is gone
As night falls and the lights come on, a banquet is underway at a luxurious hotel in Hong Kong. Guests, dressed in finery, chat and laugh cheerfully, the atmosphere seemingly harmonious. However, behind this glitz and glamour lies a hidden undercurrent.
One of the main guests at the banquet was Chen Bao, a prominent figure in Hong Kong's Hongtai Society. He sat at the head table, his face solemn, his gaze constantly scanning the surroundings. Just then, the banquet hall door opened, and a burly, imposing man walked in. It was none other than Liu Hao, the leader of the Dongxing Society.
Liu Hao's arrival brought the once bustling banquet hall to a sudden silence. He walked directly in front of Chen Bao, his eyes revealing a sharp chill.
"Chen Bao, I heard that your son Chen Tailong has been restless recently and even dared to send someone to assassinate me?" Liu Hao's voice was low and powerful, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.
Upon hearing this, Chen Bao's face turned pale, and he was horrified. He quickly stood up and said with an apologetic smile, "Brother Liu, you're too kind. Chen Tailong is my useless son. He acts recklessly and refuses to change despite repeated admonitions. You've done me a great favor by eliminating him. I have to thank you!"
Liu Hao raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He stared at Chen Bao for a moment, as if trying to judge the truth of his words.
"Your son died at my hands, but you don't seem to mind at all?" There was a hint of teasing in Liu Hao's voice.
Chen Bao smiled wryly and said, "Brother Liu, you are wise. My son deserved to die. I will never hesitate to kill anyone you choose. I am truly sorry for your presence and for taking the trouble to collect the body of my beastly son. I am truly sorry for any offense!"
After hearing this, Liu Hao's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself: This old fox makes me sound so noble. Even though his own son was killed, he can still behave so humbly. He is worthy of being the leader who has built his foundation step by step. It is true that he who knows the times is a hero!
Seeing Chen Bao's sincere acknowledgment of his mistake, Liu Hao decided not to embarrass him any further. He smiled and said, "Since Brother Chen is so open-minded, I won't bother with you. Let's work together, otherwise I wouldn't be attending the banquet in person tonight."
Upon hearing this, Chen Bao nodded quickly and said with tears of gratitude, "Thank you, Brother Liu, for letting bygones be bygones. Our Hongtai Club will definitely remember your generosity!"
The two exchanged a smile, as if the unpleasantness had never occurred. The banquet continued, and the guests began to liven up the atmosphere again. However, the undercurrent hidden behind this banquet did not dissipate.
After three rounds of drinks, Chen Bao tremblingly raised his glass again and apologized to Liu Hao: "Brother Liu, my good-for-nothing son Chen Tailong offended you earlier and even dared to send someone to assassinate you. I truly owe you, Brother Liu! Today, on behalf of the Hongtai Association, I apologize to you. I ask Brother Liu to forgive the sins of the Hongtai Association."
After saying this, Chen Bao was about to kowtow to Liu Hao and apologize. Seeing this, Liu Hao frowned slightly and reached out to stop him. "Brother Chen, you and I are both veterans of Hong Kong. Why are you being so distant? I know your son's actions were simply reckless and do not represent the position of the Hongtai Association. Why should we bother with such a fuss?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Bao was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you, Brother Liu, for your magnanimity. Everyone in the Hongtai Association will definitely remember your kindness! My son deserved to be killed by Wei Jixiang. I'm really sorry that I've caused you to come here."
Liu Hao smiled without saying anything, thinking to himself: This old sly fellow really has some talent. He cleared up all the grudges with just a few words. However, there was no need to argue with him too much. He had more serious matters to discuss right now.
Liu Hao then got straight to the point: "Brother Chen, I know your Hongtai Club has practically monopolized the valet parking business in Hong Kong and has a lot of resources at your disposal. I happen to have some parking lots I'm looking to sell, and I wonder if you're interested?"
Chen Bao was immediately excited when he heard this, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay! Thank you, Brother Liu, for your consideration. My Hongtai Club will definitely run it well and make it flourish!"
The two quickly reached a cooperation agreement. Chen Bao was delighted and even more in awe of Liu Hao's generosity. A banquet that had been expected to be contentious ended with the two men laughing and chatting.
After the banquet, Chen Bao stood alone at the hotel entrance, watching Liu Hao's motorcade drive away, a mixture of emotions welling up in his heart. He silently vowed to himself: I must be a good partner to Liu Hao, this domineering yet ungrateful man. Only then would Hongtai Club have a chance of gaining a foothold in Hong Kong.
Liu Hao chuckled inwardly: Using Chen Bao to expand his business while also keeping this ambitious competitor under control. Killing two birds with one stone, what a brilliant plan!
At the same time, in a village in the distant country of Laowo, a tragic worship ceremony was taking place.
In front of a simple mourning hall, Che Baoshan knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face. His hands clenched into fists, his shoulders trembled, and he sobbed uncontrollably. A portrait hung in the center of the hall. The portrait depicted Jiang Tianyang, his face kind, his eyes radiating majesty and wisdom.
Che Baoshan gazed at the portrait of his adoptive father and murmured to himself, "Foster father, you single-handedly picked up an orphan like me from the garbage dump and raised me to adulthood. How can I ever repay you for your kindness?"
At that moment, a tall, middle-aged man quietly approached Che Baoshan and knelt down. He clasped his hands together, worshiping Jiang Tianyang's portrait. This man was none other than Han Long, Jiang Tianyang's personal bodyguard.
"Brother Han..." Che Baoshan sobbed, "I will never see my adoptive father again..."
Han Long was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Xiaoshan, the most unworthy thing about my adoptive father's life was that he was ambushed in a foreign land. We must avenge him before we can rest in peace!"
Upon hearing this, Che Baoshan nodded and said with tears in his eyes, "Yes, it was my fault that I failed to protect my adoptive father, which led to his untimely death. I will definitely seek justice for him, otherwise, as a son, I will be ashamed to face my ancestors!"
Han Long's eyes flashed with determination when he heard this. He said solemnly, "Then let's join forces. I've followed my adoptive father for many years and know the East Star Society inside and out. Even if it means sacrificing my life, I will fight them to the death!"
Che Baoshan gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! I will make that damn Liu Hao and Liang Kun pay for their crimes with blood!"
The two men looked at each other and saw the fire of revenge burning in each other's eyes. They knew that this road of revenge would be full of thorns and dangers, but they were no longer afraid.
Han Long added, "But the strength of the two of us alone is far from enough to fight against the East Star Society. We need to gain a firm foothold in Laowo Country before we can compete with them."
Che Baoshan nodded in agreement, knowing full well that Han Long was right. Thus, the two began to discuss how to gain a foothold in Laowo Country and lay the foundation for their future revenge plan.
In the following days, Che Baoshan and Han Long traveled around, made friends with local forces, and gradually gained a foothold in Laowo Country. They secretly accumulated strength and waited for the right time to launch a fatal attack on Dongxing Society.
