The Investors

Chapter 55: Problems Come in Tubes

Wei Chung's ambush attempt against Ou Julong and Guan Zheng this afternoon had completely harmed Hei Laohu's organization personally. At least fifty of its members were injured as a result of being beaten. It is certain that they can not participate when storming the Xiongmeng de Shizi Association later tonight.

This news infuriated Wei Chung. He who was discussing the attack strategy tonight with Chairman Bao, Khong Guan, was unable to concentrate anymore as Po Yang who was sitting next to him whispered the news into his ear.

Earlier in the agreement, they had agreed to deploy each subordinate as many as five hundred people and jointly carry out an open raid on the enemy headquarters.

The headquarters of Xiongmeng de Shizi is located in Zheng Rong, an area on the outskirts of the city on the Jianxi River. Around the headquarters of the association was a racetrack field run directly by the association.

Hei Laohu planned to go down the road to the north, then round the Jianxi River and turn towards the south. Bao will cross the Minjiang River from the south. Later the two camps will meet at the center of the attack and simultaneously bombard the Xiongmeng de Shizi society from two directions.

"Chairman Wei, tonight we will definitely succeed. How will we arrange for the division of the territory?" Khong Guan has not asked about the division of the region.

Khong Guan is at best only in his early forties, still energetic and has a high spirit. According to his understanding, once they overthrew the Xiongmeng de Shizi, then the territory should be divided in two. He personally targeted the Zheng Rong racetrack, because it was the most profitable gambling arena for the Xiongmeng de Shizi Association so far. So he alluded to this matter first and wanted to show a signal that the Bao Society wanted the racetrack.

But on the contrary for Wei Chung, there is no such thing as division of territory. All the territory of Xiongmeng de Shizi would fall into his hands, as would the territory now controlled by the Bao Society. The entire Nanping City would only belong to one!

So he did not want to discuss the division of territory with Khong Guan. He wants to get out of here, because there are some problems he has to solve.

First, his affairs with the King Palace Hotel had now been decided by Hao Zhao unilaterally under the pretext of disturbing his guests. He would have thought that Ou Julong and Guan Zheng were actually being protected by Hao Zhao with dozens of bodyguards.

Second, it was the business of his son, Wei Heng. His wife never stopped sending him WeChat messages.

"My husband, Wei Heng is gone!"

"The room is a mess, the contents of the closet are dismantled out."

"But the phone is left behind."

"You come home soon, my husband. Or order people to look for him."

Thus a series of messages sent by his wife, complete with photos of the condition of the room that was messy because it had previously been scrambled by Cia Yonggan while searching for documents hidden by Wei Heng.

"Do you think she's wet the bed, my husband?"

This message was accompanied by a picture message that showed the corner of Wei Heng's bed was wet mixed with paint that faded the bedding.

But Wei Chung where had replied to his wife's messages when he was busy like this.

For that Wei Chung no longer want to linger here. Let him please Khong Guan for a while.

"Chairman Khong, regarding the division of the territory, we arrange it later. I trust you on this. I know you are a person who has a spirit of justice" said Wei Chung who made his interlocutor's eyes sparkle with delight.

"Ah, don't be, Chief Wei. I feel bad about arranging the division of the territory alone. I will definitely ask for your advice at a later date," continued Khong Guan.

"Alright, we'll see later," Wei Chung replied quickly. And then he added. "Chairman Khong, I think our planning has matured. I want to gather my people and convey a few words to them. If we stay here too long, fear that time will be more urgent than we have agreed."

Khong Guan flinched. It was also true what this Wei Chung said. Isn't the time now almost nearing the afternoon? If they are still sober like this, it will make him messy to gather subordinates.

"True, Chairman Wei. Forgive me for being this inexperienced," he said spontaneously. Then he hinted his two subordinates to stand up while saying. "Then let us take Chairman Wei out."

Wei Chung nodded and stood up. Po Yang also stood up, followed by seven subordinates who sat at separate tables. Then, escorted by Khong Guan, Wei Chung's entourage came out of the entertainment building.

"Chairman Khong. See you at Zheng Rong's arena tonight" Wei Chung said.

"Yes, of course, Chairman Wei. There will be a big party" Khong Guan said.

"There will be a surprise tonight," of course, Wei Chung addressed Khong Guan.

But Khong Guan understood, instead he excitedly chimed in. "Yes, this is going to be a big surprise."

"Then we left first, Chairman Khong and the Bao members," Wei Chung said with a slight bow, followed by Po Yang and his subordinates.

Khong Guan and his subordinates returned the same treatment to Wei Chung. "All right, see you soon, Chief Wei."

As soon as the two groups got separated, while walking to the car park, Wei Chung asked. "Po Yang, how many bodyguards are there at the King Palace Hotel?"

"From the information of our subordinates, their numbers are no less than those of the people I sent, Big Brother Wei," Po Yang replied.

"How many people did you send?" Wei Chung asked again.

"I sent fifty men, Brother Wei," said Po Yang.

"That much?" Wei Chung so frown.

It was an unwritten commitment agreed by the businessmen in Nanping City to not have a personal bodyguard. By establishing a partner relationship with underground associations, all security matters are guaranteed. Why did the Director of the King Palace Hotel suddenly have such a large bodyguard without her knowledge?

"Nonsensical, Hao Zhao. He had broken the commitment," Wei Chung said furiously.

Blaming the other party, while his own fault was unconscious, was the nature of most humans, including Wei Chung. He did realize, once he managed to control this city, he himself would instead force the businessmen in Nanping City to hire the services of bodyguards from the Sea Dragon escort company.

Wei Chung seemed to think for a moment. The business with Hao Zhao will be settled later, after Lu Meng has come here. With the number of bodyguards Hao Zhao had, would it be able to match the number of bodyguards Lu Meng would bring in tonight? Although the Shu family had many treasures, could it be brash in Nanping City that he would master this?

Then he answered. "For a while let him be, but send two subordinates to monitor the King Palace Hotel from afar."

"Have you heard?" Po Yang raised his gaze to his seven subordinates.

The seven people were like a wiggle for a moment. Then one of them dragged the hand of a friend forward.

"Let us both do it, Chief," said the man.

Wei Chung watched the two subordinates for a while, then he said. "Okay, you guys keep watching over there. Don't be suspected. There's nothing to tell this Po Yang. You gotit?"

"We understand, Chairman," they said in unison, then broke away from the group.

After they left, Wei Chung asked the remaining five subordinates. "Do any of you know the location of the residence of the young man who was held yesterday?"

Wei Chung is the location of the residence of Cia Yonggan on the slopes of Mount Mangdang. He would send people to look for Wei Heng there. According to his estimation, his son disappearing this time must have wanted to take away Gao Li Li Liang's late daughter, just like he had agreed with Wei Heng. What he loved was, why was his son impatient, going alone without telling him first. Just make people anxious.

One of the subordinates came forward and proudly replied. "I know, Chief. I used to stalk him people to the other side. Even I came along when I ambushed him two days ago."

"Good, good. You have no small merit," said Wei Chung nodding in praise of his subordinate.

"Thank you, Chief," he timidly replied.

"I have a duty for you. You take them all back there. Let's see if Wei Heng is there or not. Notice also along the way, who knows you cross paths in the middle of the road," Wei Chung gave the order to follow the five subordinates.

"Well, Chief, we're leaving right now," the subordinate replied as he prepared to take all of his comrades with him.

But Wei Chung held him back by saying. "Wait first. Send me your Alipay account number right away. There is a little reward for the service I will send. You share with them."

This Wei Chung is so good at taking the hearts of subordinates. What he said a little, certainly felt meaningful to his subordinates. The association between fellow thugs, not only about money, but they pay more attention to the loyal feeling of friends. There are bonuses from superiors, of course they will share. But the bonus given by the boss without being asked, is a form of leader appreciation for what they have done.

"Well, thank you, Chairman" he said, taking his colleagues away.

Still walking towards the car, he sent his Alipay account number to Wei Chung's WeChat number. Before long Wei Chung had sent some money to him which made him even more proud.

"Sister Wei, what's wrong with Wei Heng?" Po Yang suddenly asked.

It was briefly answered by Wei Chung. "He's gone, Po Yang."

Seeing the person who did not want to discuss the matter with him, Po Yang no longer continued to ask. Instead he gave another piece of information to Wei Chung.

"Sister Wei, it seems we can't send five hundred people tonight" he said.

"Why is that?" Wei Chung who was opening the car door came to a halt.

Worryingly, Po Yang replied. "The members led by Ou Julong and Guan Zheng refused to come along, they didn't even heed my call, Big Brother Wei."

"Damn, why did I forget this?" rutuk Wei Chung in heart.

Po Yang said the subordinates were led by Ou Julong and Guan Zheng. That meant that each of the two hundred people who were under the control of the two people did not want to interfere. He will lack as much energy as four hundred people tonight, that's not a small amount.

He thought that once he had taken control of the Hei Laohu Society, all the subordinates in the society would submit to him. But he forgot, the former leader of Hei Laohu before, Gao Li Li Liang had divided the number of their respective members equally. And Wei Chung had not had time to remodel the subordinates back but Ou Julong yesterday had suddenly come looking for trouble with him.

"Yes..." Wei Chung complained.

Why is it that suddenly trouble comes so hard in such an urgent time? Makes him feel dizzy.

He sat in the driver's seat. He poked his head while thinking. Wei Chung looked much older at the moment. So much of it became a burden on his mind.

"Sister Wei, if you can't drive, let me drive you home" Po Yang said from outside the car door.

"It's okay, I can be alone," Wei Chung tried to resist.

Now he only has half the power. Not to mention that just fifty injured people were beaten up by Hao Zhao's bodyguards. If Party Bao knew of this, it would certainly trouble him himself. The only thing comforting him now was Lu Meng's words that would allow a hundred bodyguards to have martial skills. Surely they can count on him.

"Po Yang, please release all subordinates who work for the businessmen tonight. Pull them all up" Wei Chung ordered.

Po Yang was surprised. If this is done, it can be ascertained that there will be many security problems in the buildings of entrepreneurs. Visitors will certainly act as they please if buildings such as shops, hotels, shopping centers, and entertainment venues are not equipped with security guards.

"Sister Wei, this is very risky." said Po Yang to express his objection.

But Wei Chung cut fast. "It's a responsibility, Po Yang. We have no other way. Get them all together and gather them together, tonight they're gonna have to come."

"Alright, Brother Wei," Po Yang inevitably had to follow the chairman's orders.
