Chapter 127 Brother Jiaqian is about to be released from prison!
Li Wang sheathed his sword, its cold blade gleaming in the sunset, as if still lingering with the warmth of battle. He turned to look at Sha Qiang and Liang Kun, both of whom had expressions of relief and gratitude written all over their faces.
"Brother, that's great, we won!" Sha Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, his heart finally settling. There was a tremor in his voice, the fear of having just walked back from the brink of life and death.
Liang Kun also breathed a sigh of relief, his face glowing with life. He patted Sha Qiang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Yes, thank you Brother Li Wang for bringing people to help us, otherwise we would have died today."
Li Wang laughed heartily, a laugh so bold and heroic that it seemed to sweep away all his fatigue and tension. His smile was radiant, as if what he had just experienced was not a life-and-death struggle, but a hearty game.
The Hongxing brothers present all looked at Li Wang with new eyes and expressed their admiration for him. They knew that if Li Wang had not arrived in time today, they would probably have died here.
"Li Wang, you are really our savior!" shouted a Hongxing brother.
"Haha, brothers, you are too kind. How can we, the people of Hongxing, let outsiders bully us?" Li Wang waved his hands proudly, as if everything was under his control.
The bloody battle ended just like that. Jiang Tianyang and his group suffered a heavy blow, and their vitality was severely damaged. It was likely that they would not be able to take on Hong Xing Haoge's position in the short term.
……
Meanwhile, at the East Star Group's headquarters, Liu Hao sat in a spacious, bright conference room, flipping through recent financial statements. A delighted smile lit his face, as if he had already foreseen the glorious future of the East Star Group.
The report shows that under the operation of Jimmie and a group of smart and capable teams, the profits of all companies under Liu Hao, including Dongxing Film and Television, Shiwanhuoji Insurance, and Dongxing Real Estate, have increased significantly in the past two months, and their revenue has more than doubled.
"Jimmy, you guys are really great!" Liu Hao closed the report happily and said to Jimmy with a smile.
Jimmy smiled shyly and replied, "Thank you for the compliment, Brother Hao. This is just our job. We should work hard."
Liu Hao waved his hand and said, "Alright, don't be so modest. I see your hard work, and this time the company's year-end bonuses and dividends will prioritize key employees like you. Add to that your regular commissions, and I believe your income will increase significantly."
Jimmy's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this. He quickly expressed his gratitude: "Brother Hao is really a kind person. I am satisfied with this and dare not ask for more."
Liu Hao smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to continue questioning, he noticed a look of hesitation on Jimmy's face. Liu Hao observed him keenly, reading his expression and saying, "Jimmy, you seem to have something on your mind? Feel free to speak up. If you need anything, feel free to ask."
Jimmy hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to speak: "Brother Hao, I actually have a friend who's about to be released from prison. I spoke to him when I visited him before, and he wants to join our East Star Society. We used to be very close brothers, so I'd like to ask Brother Hao to give him a chance to start a new life. What do you think, Brother Hao?"
Liu Hao smiled slightly and asked curiously, "Oh? Who is this friend? Judging from your tone, you two seem to be quite close."
Jimmie nodded and said slowly, "His name is Ah Wu. He used to be a member of the Number Gang, known as 'Brother Jiaqian'. He's a notorious professional killer. He values money over his life, is extremely skilled, and never asks for conditions when accepting a task. He'll do it for money! However, the Number Gang has been disbanded for many years, and Ah Wu's status in the underworld is no longer what it used to be. He has nowhere to go after he's released from prison this time, so I hope Brother Hao can take him in and give him a place to stay."
"Brother Jiaqian?" Liu Hao's eyes lit up when he heard the nickname. He had heard of Ah Wu's fame in the martial arts world and knew he was a rare talent.
"I've heard a little about Awu's name. He used to be the top red stick in the Number Gang. It would be of great benefit to me if I could recruit such a person under my command!" Liu Hao said excitedly.
Jimmy said in surprise, "Brother Hao, are you sure you want to take Ah Wu in personally? After all, he's just an ordinary thug."
Liu Hao smiled and said, "Because he's a dark horse, I want to focus on training him. All the amazing warriors in the martial arts world have emerged from ordinary pawns. I think Awu must have something extraordinary. Taking him in will be of great benefit to us."
After saying that, he slapped the table excitedly and continued to ask, "When do you think Ah Wu will be released from prison? I must go pick him up in person to show my sincerity!"
Jimmy was shocked. He originally thought that Liu Hao would think it was unnecessary and decline, but he didn't expect that Liu Hao attached great importance to it and immediately decided to go and pick it up in person.
"Reporting to Brother Hao, Awu will be released from prison tomorrow." Jimmy replied.
"Very good, I will definitely pick him up tomorrow." Liu Hao said in a deep voice, "You should contact Ah Wu immediately and tell him that I will send a car to meet him at the prison gate tomorrow and bring him directly to see me."
Jimmie was startled and said quickly, "It's really rude for Brother Hao to go in person! Why not send me and a few of my brothers to pick him up?"
Liu Hao shook his head. "Since I've decided to accept him, I should go pick him up in person to show my respect. You can notify Wu first. I'll bring a few trusted people with me tomorrow and ask him to prepare."
"As you wish, Brother Hao!" Jiminzi quickly agreed, secretly impressed by Liu Hao's generosity and broad-mindedness. With such a strong focus on talent, it's no wonder he's achieved the brilliant success of the East Star Group. Jiminzi sincerely admired him.
Liu Hao had already begun to think that after accepting Ah Wu, his strength would rise to a new level. His position in the martial arts world would also be more solid. Even Liang Kun and Jiang Tianyang would probably be more wary of him.
Thinking of this, Liu Hao couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. Ah Wu's arrival would greatly aid his future in the martial arts world.
……
That day, Liu Hao was in the conference room discussing their next plan with Jimmy when his phone suddenly rang. He checked the caller ID and saw it was Liang Kun. Liu Hao picked up the phone, only to hear Liang Kun's excited voice: "Brother Liu, thank you so much for sending Li Wang to help us! If it weren't for him today, Sha Qiang and I would have been dead. Li Wang deserves the most credit, I'll definitely host a reception for him!"
Liu Hao said calmly, "Brother Liang Kun, you're too kind. This is just a piece of cake. Li Wang can be considered a brother of Brother Liang Kun, so it's only right for me to send him."
"No, no, no, Li Wang's performance today was truly heroic. He single-handedly defeated Jiang Tianyang and the others, performing a great feat. I must reward him well!" Liang Kun said excitedly, "Brother Liu, I'll let you know the date of the cocktail party. You must attend then!"
Liu Hao pondered for a moment, then finally agreed. The two exchanged a few pleasantries before hanging up the phone.
Jimmy couldn't help but admire him, saying, "Brother Hao is truly extraordinary. Li Wang, who made the greatest contribution, actually gave the spotlight to Brother Liang Kun. Brother Hao is so broad-minded. No wonder he's become the leader of Hong Kong's top gang."
Liu Hao smiled faintly and said, "According to the rules of the martial arts world, I supported Liang Kun to rise to the top. His escape today is the best outcome for me. The halo or no halo is nothing but empty reputation and has no benefit to me."
After saying this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "You know, this party struggle for power has just begun. Whether Liang Kun can gain a firm foothold is still unknown. Right now, I need to send someone to secretly monitor Jiang Tianyang's movements. He suffered a great loss today, and he will definitely make a comeback."
Jimmy said, "Brother Hao is wise. I will arrange for someone to keep an eye on him right away."
Liu Hao nodded in approval. Just then, a tall man in a black suit strode into the conference room. His steps were steady and his presence so imposing that it seemed to shake the very air.
Liu Hao immediately recognized the man as Skull Man. He was not only his trusted advisor, but also the general manager of his film and television company, East Star Pictures.
"Skull Wen is here, please sit down." Liu Hao greeted him politely.
Skull Wen sat down opposite Liu Hao and nodded slightly: "Brother Hao, what do you want?"
Liu Hao smiled and said, "The company has been very busy lately. As the general manager of the film company, you must keep a close eye on things. Also, please pay more attention to Ah Wu's affairs. He is a rare talent, and we must train him well."
Skull Wen's eyes gleamed when he heard this. He knew Liu Hao's way of employing people and understood Ah Wu's value. So he nodded solemnly: "Brother Hao, don't worry, I will do my best."
Liu Hao nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Jimizi and said, "Jimizi, you need to speed up the progress over there too. After Wu is released from prison, we need to integrate him into the team as quickly as possible. Also, you need to keep an eye on Jiang Tianyang's movements. If you notice any signs of trouble, report to me immediately."
Jimmy and Skull Wen both responded in unison, saying that they would definitely follow Liu Hao's instructions.
