Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

Chapter 247: Jiang Tiansheng on the Line of Life and Death

Luo Tianhong is a very brave man. When Lu Yongqiang had a conflict with the crows, Luo Tianhong dared to take a few people to the crows' nest. He defeated twenty or thirty people from the crows with his sword alone, and earned the reputation of the Sword King with his strength.

This time Lu Yongqiang assigned him a task. Luo Tianhong secretly checked Chen Yao's whereabouts and found out that Chen Yao had been hiding in Jiang Tiansheng's villa.

If it were someone else, they would definitely give up, but Luo Tianhong did not give up. He spent three days scouting the area around Jiang Tiansheng's villa.

Hard work pays off, and Luo Tianhong really found a sniper spot, a big tree a few hundred meters away from Jiang Tiansheng's villa.

Luo Tianhong disguised himself as a worker pruning branches and climbed up a big tree. He stayed on the tree for several hours and finally waited for an opportunity to shoot.

At that time, Chen Yaozheng was chatting with Chen Haonan and his mother in the villa garden.

There was no shelter around, and Luo Tianhong seized the opportunity and fired two shots at Chen Yao.

Indeed, Luo Tianhong's sniper rifle was not very good. He fired two shots, one of which hit the stone pillar in front of Chen Yao, which was at least two meters away from Chen Yao.

After the first shot, Chen Yao and his men hid in panic. Luo Tianhong fired another shot at Chen Yao, but this shot did not hit Chen Yao. Instead, it hit a bodyguard who had just run over to protect Chen Yao, and shot him in the head.

Because the first shot happened suddenly, it was not known from which direction the bullet came from, but after the second shot, Luo Tianhong's position was exposed.

So after firing the second shot, Luo Tianhong threw the gun directly to the ground, then jumped down from the tree. After landing, he picked up the gun on the ground and threw it into the car, then drove away.

When Jiang Tiansheng's men caught up with them, they couldn't even see the car's taillights.

Afterwards, the car used by Luo Tianhong was pushed off the cliff into the sea, and the sniper rifle was also thrown into the sea with the car.

When this happened, Jiang Tiansheng initially suspected Lu Yongqiang. After all, although the people from the Tri-Union Gang had been constantly attacking the people from the Hongxing Gang in recent days, they still had some restraint and the people from several main halls had not made any moves.

Gangs like Prince Edward's Tsim Sha Tsui, Luk Wing-keung's Tuen Mun, Slim Eye's Kowloon City, Han Bin's Kwai Tsing and Lone Dragon's Tsuen Wan were completely safe. Not only did the gang leaders not encounter any attacks, but even their subordinates did not encounter any attacks, and the situation on their territory was peaceful.

The Tri-Union Gang didn't even touch the several main halls of the Hongxing Gang, and suddenly attacked Jiang Tiansheng's villa. Jiang Tiansheng naturally suspected that someone was taking advantage of the situation, and the most suspicious person was Lu Yongqiang.

But the next day, things took a turn for the better. Two assassins from the Sanlian Gang disguised themselves as deliverymen and delivered a large box to Jiang Tiansheng's villa.

The box contained a one-meter-high gilded statue of Guan Gong.

This statue of Guan Yu is incredibly lifelike, as if he were actually alive. His expression is solemn and majestic, inspiring awe. The smooth, natural lines of the statue, and the meticulous attention to detail make the entire sculpture appear incredibly vivid. From the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in Guan Yu's hand to his armor and the Red Hare at his feet, every detail showcases masterful craftsmanship.

The value of such an exquisite Guan Gong statue is immeasurable. From both the artistic and collection perspectives, it is a rare treasure.

When the box was opened and the Guan Gong statue was revealed, Jiang Tiansheng, Chen Yao and others surrounded the statue to admire it carefully, but just when they were concentrating on admiring the Guan Gong statue.

Jiang Tiansheng's security team leader noticed something was wrong. He seemed to hear a ticking sound coming from inside the Guan Gong statue.

The security captain thought he had misheard at first, but when he put his head close to the statue of Guan Gong and listened carefully, his expression changed immediately.

"Disperse! Disperse quickly! There's something wrong with this Guan Gong statue."

Amidst the shouts, the security captain pulled Jiang Tiansheng and tried to run. After running a few dozen meters, he explained, "Mr. Jiang, I heard a ticking sound on the Guan Gong statue. I think someone has planted a time bomb on it."

Just when the security captain noticed something was wrong, the two men disguised as deliverymen immediately ran away. They ran out of the house, got on the truck directly, and tried to drive away.

Without any orders, when Jiang Tiansheng's men saw the two men fleeing in panic, they immediately surrounded and chased them. When the two men escaped to the truck, one of Jiang Tiansheng's bodyguards drove an SUV into the truck, forcing it to stop.

After the van was forced to stop, a bodyguard shot the driver in the head. The other deliveryman jumped out of the car and tried to run away, but as soon as he jumped out, he was surrounded by several people and was later captured alive.

As soon as the two deliverymen outside were dealt with, the statue of Guan Gong in the house exploded.

There was a loud bang and the whole villa seemed to shake. The room where the statue of Guan Gong was placed was directly blown into ruins.

If the security captain had not noticed anything unusual just now, and a group of people were still surrounding the Guan Gong statue to admire it, I'm afraid they would all have been blown to the sky by now.

Jiang Tiansheng looked gloomily at the captured deliveryman. "Tell me! Who sent you here? And why did you send me this Guan Gong statue?"

The deliveryman was very stubborn. "You can kill me or chop me up as you like. I won't say a word."

Jiang Tiansheng's eyes turned cold, "You don't want to tell me? I have plenty of ways to make you speak." He winked, and the bodyguard next to him immediately stepped forward.

The deliveryman was beaten terribly, but he still refused to reveal any information.

Seeing this, Jiang Tiansheng ordered his men, "Take him away. Treat this bastard well and make sure he gets the information I want to know."

The captured killer was also a ruthless character. After being tortured, he confessed. However, after the confession, he took advantage of the fact that his interrogator was distracted and actually hit his head against the wall and died.

When the two interrogators saw that the killer was dead, they immediately went to Jiang Tiansheng to report the situation.

"Mr. Jiang, that person confessed..." At this point, the person reporting the situation hesitated.

Jiang Tiansheng said, "Since you've confessed, why don't you tell me quickly? Who are they?"

Jiang Tiansheng spoke, and the man stopped hesitating and said, "He said they were both Lu Yongqiang's men. He also said that Lu Yongqiang had them send the Guan Gong statue to the villa."

Before Jiang Tiansheng could say anything, Chen Yao, who was standing next to him, said, "It can't be Aqiang. This news must be fake."

Hearing Chen Yao say this, Jiang Tiansheng asked curiously, "Ayao, why are you so sure that these two people are not Lu Yongqiang's people?"

Chen Yao said, "Mr. Jiang, although Qiangzi is powerful, he lacks experience. If something happens to you, it will not be Qiangzi's turn to make the decision in Hongxing."

"By then, the only three people who are most qualified to sit on the leader's throne are Xiyan, the Crown Prince, and Han Bin. Regardless of their power or qualifications, the three of them are fully qualified to be the leader and the decision-maker."

"But Xiyan's relationship with the mainland is unclear. Even if everyone chooses him as the leader, the elders will definitely not agree."

"As for the Crown Prince's personality, everyone knows it well. He's most afraid of being in charge. He even leaves the affairs of the Hall to his trusted henchman Xi Gou. He definitely won't agree to be the leader and the boss."

"By then, Han Bin will be the most likely person to become the leader."

"Qiangzi and Han Bin appear to have a good relationship on the surface, but in reality, they've been scheming against each other quite a bit over the past few months. If Han Bin truly becomes the leader, the first person he'll want to deal with will be Qiangzi."

"Qiangzi is such a smart guy. He already knows the situation in the society very well. He might send someone to kill me, but he definitely won't touch you, Mr. Jiang."

After Chen Yao finished speaking, Jiang Tiansheng said, "But I heard that Qiangzi and Xiyan have a good relationship. What if Xiyan wants to support Qiangzi to be the leader?"

"With Xiyan's support and Qiangzi's inherent ability, many of the leaders and the elders admire him. Even if Qiangzi has little experience, he may still be able to take the lead."

After Jiang Tiansheng finished speaking, Chen Yao still shook his head. He thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Jiang, I wonder if you have noticed that the gray industry in Tuen Mun has been decreasing.

Before Qiangzi became the boss, he ran several small casinos and also did the pornography business. Although he didn't have many girls under him, he did do business in this area.

Even though protection fees have been changed to environmental sanitation fees and security fees, it's still protection money, just a change of name."

"But when Qiangzi became the boss of Tuen Mun, the small casino disappeared, and the girls he had either went into legitimate jobs or were transferred to a woman called Ali. All the girls in Tuen Mun are now Ali's.

I asked someone to check and found out that this Ali is not Qiangzi's person. She and Qiangzi are just in a cooperative relationship. The girls under her are in Qiangzi's place to accompany drinking and help to attract business. If they want to work for a period of time, they have to go out and book a room.

In other words, Qiangzi is no longer involved in the sex trade, so even if something happens to Ali, Qiangzi will not be implicated."

"In addition, Qiangzi also signed a contract with the Department of Health in Tuen Mun. Now the public health of the entire Tuen Mun is indeed cleaned by Qiangzi's company.

In other words, the environmental sanitation fees that Qiangzi is collecting now are no longer protection fees, but are indeed environmental sanitation fees. It’s just that this fee is slightly more than what the municipal government collects, but Qiangzi changed the extra part into security fees.

In order to make the security fees reasonable, Qiangzi's men would patrol the streets in security uniforms, just like the police. The patrols on busy streets were even more intense than those on the police side.

"The only shady business Qiangzi still runs is the Brothers Entertainment City. Apart from this entertainment city, all of Qiangzi's businesses are legitimate, and his income is almost entirely legal."

"Mr. Jiang, you should know that if a gang doesn't have gray income, it's almost impossible to support its subordinates.

Now that the Tuen Mun gang has so little gray income, Qiangzi probably has to pay out of his own pocket to support his subordinates every month.

Qiangzi can afford to support a Tuen Mun Tong, but can he still support the entire Hung Hing? "

"Keng Tsai has gone to great lengths to whitewash his business, perhaps to prepare for the situation in Hong Kong in a few years. Before the situation becomes clear, it is impossible for him to become the leader of Hung Hing."
