"Normally speaking?" Tang Jingyuan didn't understand the meaning of Tang Boqi's words and repeated them.
Tang Boqi devoured all the food in front of him, patted his belly, exhaled, and then looked at his cousin:
"Doesn't it feel like a path to wealth is beckoning you?"
"Hmm." Tang Jingyuan nodded. To him, the information in this notebook was a real path to wealth. If he followed the instructions, even an idiot could make money.
"Have you ever thought about it? Song Tianyao knows all this too, but why would he give up such a lucrative business, even more profitable than Britain department stores, to you?" After finishing his meal, Tang Boqi lit another cigarette. "You think I've been working on those notes these past few days? Actually, I've been wondering why Song Tianyao hasn't done it himself."
"Have you thought of that?" Tang Jingyuan pressed.
Tang Boqi shook his head. "No, I've thought about it a lot, but I still can't figure out why Song Tianyao would give up this opportunity to become an industry leader and grow stronger in a legitimate way."
"Then we..."
"The more unexpected it is, the more curious we become. If he won't do it, we will." Tang Boqi exhaled two plumes of smoke from his nostrils and said with a determined look in his eyes.
Chapter 253 Murder and Pimping
It was too late last night when Song Tianyao dropped off Nine Dragons and Qi Weiwen at Sister Fen's place in Jordan, so he didn't go back to the factory. Instead, he booked two rooms at the Kowloon Martinson Hotel, one for Huang Liu and one for himself.
After sleeping until eight o'clock, Song Tianyao got up and first called Yan Hung. Then, after washing up, he opened his room door, intending to Huang Liu to come downstairs for breakfast. However, as soon as he opened his room door, Huang Liu's door next door also opened, and Huang Liu, dressed neatly, poked his head out, giving Song Tianyao a bright smile.
Good morning, Mr. Song.
For some reason, Song Tianyao felt a little uneasy when he saw Huang Liu's smiling face. This guy was a fearless troublemaker who might only be to his liking if he wreaked havoc in Hong Kong, then he could easily walk back to Macau, leaving Song Tianyao with a lot of trouble.
Song Tianyao reluctantly nodded to Huang Liu: "Up so early? Perfect timing, let's go downstairs to the restaurant for breakfast together."
The two went downstairs to the hotel restaurant for breakfast. Just as the waiter brought the breakfast up, Yan Hung drove up to the hotel, wiping the sweat from his face with a handkerchief, and rushed into the restaurant. "Mr. Song, you called me?"
"Sit down. Have you had breakfast? Let's eat together." Song Tianyao gestured for Yan Hung to sit next to him.
After Yan Hung sat down, he ordered a symbolic cup of coffee before turning to Song Tianyao: "What is it, Mr. Song?"
Song Tianyao glanced at Huang Liu across from him, who was eating silently with his head down, his face expressionless and seemingly unfathomable, and sighed before saying to Yan Hung:
"Last night, I had a minor conflict with a Young Mountain Master of the 14K. I injured a Double Red Pole He-prefix gangs Heizai Jie, and it looked rather ugly. You need to personally deliver 20,000 yuan to the injured guy for medical expenses. If he doesn't know what's good for him, then help me arrange for Golden-Tooth Lei and several big shots from the Eastern Guangdong Big Brother. I'll use the money to beat up Heizai Jie's gang until he admits defeat."
Yan Hung was holding a cup of coffee to his lips when he heard Song Tianyao's words, and the coffee spilled out of the cup. "Heizai Jie? 14K, Prince Ge Zhixiong? Scribe Tan? Are those the ones?"
Song Tianyao frowned slightly, looking at Yan Hung expression had changed drastically. "How did you know?"
"Mr. Song, the news has spread throughout the underworld today. Last night, Heizai Jie was injured and taken to the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, where he somehow died. It's said to be a medical accident. Scribe Tan was also found dead in bed this morning by his lover after suffering a heart attack. Only Ge Zhixiong is unharmed." Yan Hung said, shaking his coffee cup. "The rumors are that these three scoundrels foolishly offended a big shot last night, and he was killed by assassins arranged by that big shot. Ge Zhixiong was spared because he's the 14K Young Mountain Master, a very high-ranking position. The other two were used as a warning to others."
Song Tianyao's first reaction was to look at Huang Liu Huang Liu was still eating his English breakfast sausage and bacon with his head down and in a refined manner, as if he hadn't heard anything.
"If I were hiring someone to do something, I would definitely inform you. If it wasn't me," Song Tianyao said calmly to Yan Hung.
Yan Hung breathed a sigh of relief, "I know. I'll go and sound out the situation, and spread the word about what you said, Mr. Song. If those bastards don't believe me, I'll get the Chiu Chow Gang and the Eastern Guangdong Gang involved."
After saying that, Yan Hung hurriedly got up and left. Song Tianyao looked at Huang Liu opposite him. "You did this?"
"I was worried about leaving you, Mr. Song, alive and causing trouble, so... hehe, in Macau Street, this kind of work is usually not my job. I just had an itch to do it." Huang Liu wiped his mouth with a napkin and said with a grin.
Song Tianyao rubbed his temples, suppressing the urge to unleash a torrent of abuse, and said weakly, "I'll buy you a boat ticket and give you a 10,000 yuan tip. Six of you, are you going back to Macau?"
He already had a Scribe Hui by his side who could make him lose his temper, but in the past few days, he has also gained a human tyrannosaurus who can go berserk at any time and pull out a gun to kill people at the drop of a hat.
"It's safer in Hong Kong. My father threatens to shoot me at the drop of a hat. I'll stay for another week at most, and then I'll go back to Macau once he's calmed down." Huang Liu said excitedly to Song Tianyao, rubbing his hands together. "Besides, Mr. Song, I've already silenced them all. They won't dare to cause trouble again. If they do, I'll kill their whole family."
"How did you get rid of those two guys? How did you find them after I went to bed last night?" Song Tianyao tried to calm himself down and changed the subject.
Seeing that Song Tianyao hadn't really turned hostile, Huang Liu continued cutting the fried egg with his knife and fork, saying, "I went to the nearest hospital to the scene first. That guy's intestines were cut open; small clinics can't treat that. So I easily found him at the nearest hospital, casually put on a doctor's white coat and a mask, and when no one was looking, injected him with two injections of air into his vein. I learned this trick from Taiwan spy."
