"Stop." Song Tianyao turned to Golden-Tooth Lei, who was about to give the order for everyone to prepare to fight, and said, "Tell them not to make a move."
"Kill them all... Stop!" Golden-Tooth Lei nearly choked on his own breath, but managed to change the subject and shout out the word "Stop!"
Song Tianyao pointed at Chen Zhongying, whose expression was uncertain, without saying a word, and turned to walk quickly towards his grandfather. "Grandpa, why are you with these guys?"
"People from Fuyixing?" Song Chengqi looked around at the Fuyixing gang members and asked Song Tianyao in front of him casually.
Song Tianyao nodded. "The Customs warehouse contains Likang Company's goods. I'm worried someone might cause trouble, so I asked Fuyixing's people to help guard it."
"Hongfa Mountain Ge Zhaohuang No. 14 Hongfashan invited me to meet him. After we met, I asked them to take me back to Kowloon Walled City, but they said something came up and they rushed here by Tugboat." Song Chengqi looked around at the situation and explained to Song Tianyao why he was there.
"Those four hanging there, trying to cause trouble for my Dad, they're from Number 14." Song Tianyao turned to Qi Weiwen and Chen Yanni standing beside Song Chengqi, and said coldly, "Seeing you appear and hearing your words, I already guessed that Ge Zhaohuang might have something to ask of you, but was worried you wouldn't agree, so they were planning to use our family to threaten you. These Kuomintang bastards, the Britain soldiers are right at the warehouse gate, they've all taken my money before, we've had a pleasant working relationship, why don't I call them to come and shoot them, and after they're done, I'll accompany you to rest."
Chen Yanni was startled by Song Tianyao's words and her face changed color. This young man was actually Song Chengqi's grandson? Moreover, he was arrogant and kept talking about ordering the British soldiers to kill people. She had just heard Golden-Tooth Lei say that he was the secretary of the Chu Family in Chiu Chow. Seeing Song Tianyao's sinister expression, she was already half convinced that Song Tianyao was talking about killing people.
Instead, the decisive and composed Qi Weiwen smiled faintly, "Nephew Song..."
"Don't rush to befriend me. I don't have an aunt as curvaceous and beautiful as you," Song Tianyao immediately retorted upon hearing Qi Weiwen's form of address. "My grandfather knows Hongfa Mountain, but I, Song Tianyao, don't."
Qi Weiwen never expected that the old-fashioned and conservative Song Chengqi would have a sharp-tongued and quick-witted grandson. As soon as he uttered a form of address, the other party immediately interrupted him, thwarting his idea of building rapport and easing the situation, and even teased him a bit with his words.
"Secretary Song? What you just said startled me. The Britain are helping you kill people? How impressive." Chen Zhongying, wearing a cloak, turned around at a distance and spoke to Song Tianyao.
"Don't believe me? Do you think I have time to play games with you losers in the middle of the night? That shipment in the Customs warehouse, just 800 boxes of Penicillin alone is worth seven million Hong Kong dollars, plus other medicines, the total value is over ten million. Half of it belongs to my boss, and half belongs to the Governor. The Governor's is guarded by Britain soldiers, and I'm watching over my boss's. The Governor and my boss are business partners. Your men wanted to cause trouble for my family. My grandfather is old, and you took him out for a drive at night. Moreover, you wanted to steal this shipment from the warehouse. After doing so many bad things, if I let the Britain soldiers who took my money shoot and kill people, do you think I'm joking with you?" Song Tianyao turned around and looked at Chen Zhongying.
Before Chen Zhongying could speak, Song Tianyao had already instructed Golden-Tooth Lei: "Regardless of gender, hang them all next to those four bastards and keep them company while they get some fresh air. Once they've had their fill of beating, have the British soldiers come over and shoot them to silence them."
"Do it!" Golden-Tooth Lei wouldn't hesitate to do this. He would do whatever Song Tianyao ordered. If the Chu Family investigated, they would investigate Song Tianyao, who gave the order. Moreover, he had a grudge against Chen Zhongying, and he couldn't wait to humiliate him. So he simply waved his hand, signaling Fuyixing's men to surround him.
Even though Chen Zhongying made a grand entrance, he could no longer maintain his composure. Dozens of Fuyixing's henchmen rushed over, their knives gleaming. Before his personal guards could make a move, at least twenty watermelon knives were held to their necks.
"Also, my boss is Justice of the Peace. After you go down, remember that if you want to scare someone in a dream, go to him, not me. I don't like dreaming about men. Those two pretty girls can come to see me in my dreams after they die," Song Tianyao said to Chen Zhongying with a gloomy face.
Qi Weiwen and Chen Yanni were quickly surrounded by Fuyixing's men. Chen Yanni was about to take a few steps forward to subdue Song Chengqi and then coerce Song Tianyao, but Qi Weiwen pulled her back. Behind Song Tianyao stood Rotten-Life Ju, Gao Lao Cheng, and Fish Ming, all three of them staring intently at the master and disciple. It seemed that before Chen Yanni could even touch Song Chengqi, she would already be chopped off by the three of them.
"A-Yao, let them go! Is this how you conduct legitimate business? Are you letting the Britain do your dirty work?" Song Chengqi said from behind Song Tianyao.
Song Tianyao breathed a slight sigh of relief and waved to Golden-Tooth Lei: "My grandfather ordered them to be released."
After Chen Zhongying was released, Song Tianyao looked at his grandfather and asked, "Grandpa, what's your decision? Shouldn't it be less bloody? Are you planning to throw him into the sea?"
"Incense Master Chen, take them away." Song Chengqi ignored Song Tianyao's words and said to Chen Zhongying, who remained calm in the distance, "Go back and tell Mountain Lord Ge that I misremembered what I promised at the dinner table. I still have a grandson who is considered the Young Mountain Master East Liang Mountain, and I haven't discussed it with him yet."
Song Tianyao gave Golden-Tooth Lei a wink, and one of Golden-Tooth Lei 'Golden-Tooth Lei henchmen, upon receiving the order, whistled towards the Fuyixing members who were still beating Bayonet Wing and his three companions in the distance. "Big Brother ordered the release of the men!"
The four men, who could barely stand, were thrown at Chen Zhongying's feet. Chen Zhongying acted decisively, crouching down to support the half-conscious Bayonet Wing, draping his cloak over him, and holding his arm. Several of his close men also came over to help the other three up, and they walked towards the two cars.
After helping Bayonet Wing into the car, Chen Zhongying forced a smile at Song Chengqi, "Mountain Lord Song, this time I acted out of line and broke the rules of the Hung Mun. I will go back to see you, Lord Mountain Lord Ge has dealt with me, I will go to your hall to apologize. Regardless of life or death, I ask you to decide my fate."
