The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 403 Even Mud Needs to Be Plastered on the Wall
"As long as you return that woman to me, everything will be easy to discuss."
Alec squinted at Chen Xiao. "As far as I know, Brother Chen has no kinship with that woman, and she is another man's wife. Surely a big shot like Brother Chen wouldn't have a thing for married women, right?"
The woman Alec was referring to was naturally Wu Yufei.
She was in the car outside the tea house at that moment. Afraid of being caught by the Wo Yee Hing, she didn't dare stay alone in Huo Shui's villa.
Hearing these words, Chen Xiao smiled. "I really have no interest in that woman."
"That's good to hear, Brother Chen. Why make things unpleasant for everyone because of a woman? Don't you think so?"
Alec said with a smile.
"Unpleasant? I think I'm quite happy. The ones who aren't happy are you from Wo Yee Hing, right?"
Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said indifferently, "What does your happiness have to do with me?"
As soon as these words came out, the people from Wo Yee Hing were instantly enraged.
"Punk, you don't take Wo Yee Hing seriously? You're asking for death!"
Among the Four Heavenly Kings, the hot-tempered, bearded man slammed the table again.
Chen Xiao glanced at him indifferently. "Why are you acting so arrogant with me? Who do you think is stronger, you or Luo Hero?"
The bearded man's eyes narrowed. He had already heard about Chen Xiao tearing Luo Hero in half and naturally knew how formidable Chen Xiao was.
But at this juncture, if he showed any sign of backing down, he would lose face for the entire Wo Yee Hing.
So he glared with his bull-like eyes and shouted through gritted teeth, "Punk, don't try to scare me. Do you think I was born yesterday?"
"So much damn talk…"
Chen Xiao's expression darkened, and the small teacup in his hand flew out, directly into the bearded man's mouth, knocking out four of his teeth.
"Ugh…"
The bearded man's mouth was full of blood, and he couldn't even speak from the pain.
"Damn it, you dare to attack? Kid, you're breaking the rules!"
"Damn, you're playing dirty, aren't you?"
"Boss, let's go at him!"
The other three of the Four Heavenly Kings immediately stood up, shouting loudly.
However, they didn't make a move, partly because the chairman, Alec, hadn't spoken, and partly because they didn't have the guts…
Alec's face was ashen. He raised a hand and stopped the three shouting men.
He frowned and looked at Chen Xiao, questioning, "Brother Chen, what do you mean by this?"
"No meaning."
Chen Xiao said indifferently, "I think there's something wrong with your negotiation. We clearly won, so why are you the ones making demands? If anyone should be making demands, it should be us!"
What Chen Xiao said was reasonable, but in the eyes of the Old K people, being able to sit down and negotiate with the Old Wo people was already a victory.
After all, for the past decade or so, the underground world of Hong Kong had been dominated by the Old Wo, and their Old K was pretty much a retirement community.
So they wouldn't even dare to imagine making demands!
"You want to make demands?"
Alec sneered. "Alright, go ahead, I'll listen to what demands you have."
Chen Xiao stroked his chin, pretending to think. It seemed like he hadn't thought about what demands to make beforehand.
That was indeed the case, because Chen Xiao felt that the matter of making demands should be left to Huo Shui and the others. He was just there to support them.
Who would have thought that Huo Shui and his people would be so useless, still having to pay compensation even after winning? They were supposed to be gangsters!
After thinking for a moment, Chen Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he snapped his fingers. "Got it, I've got an idea!"
"Since you Old K and Old Wo share the same origin, both being disciples of the Hongmen, then in my opinion, you might as well merge into one!"
Merge?
Hearing this condition, both the Old Wo and the Old K were stunned.
Chen Xiao really was acting on a whim…
As soon as he finished speaking, both the Old Wo and the Old K disagreed.
Brother Huo Shui said with a troubled expression, "Brother, only disbanded gangs would merge with other gangs. You want our Old K to merge into the Old Wo? That's very difficult for me!"
Brother Huo Shui didn't want to be merged, and Alec wasn't willing to accept them either. "Brother Chen, Old K is a sunset gang. Why would I merge with them? To drag me down?"
However, after they finished speaking, Chen Xiao laughed.
"Gentlemen, you've misunderstood my meaning. This merger doesn't mean one side swallowing the other. It means the two families merging together, sharing the wealth in the future, with you in me and me in you, inseparable from each other!"
Alec frowned deeply, still not understanding Chen Xiao's meaning. "What do you mean by you in me and me in you? Who will be the chairman? Me or Huo Shui?"
Chen Xiao shook his head again.
"It's not appropriate for either of you to be the chairman. Let me recommend someone to you."
As he spoke, Chen Xiao patted Wah Gor's shoulder. "My big brother here is not bad. He's brave enough, ruthless enough, and righteous. Plus, he's handsome. He's simply the most suitable candidate!"
As soon as Chen Xiao said this, the entire room fell silent…
Brave enough, ruthless enough? Righteous? Handsome?
Could these three words really be used to describe that loser, Wah Gor?
To be honest, even Wah Gor himself wouldn't dare to apply these three words to himself at the same time. That would be an exaggeration, and anyone with eyes could see through it!
Not to mention the Old Wo people, even the Old K people were shocked by Chen Xiao's bold recommendation.
Ah Wah was just a low-level member in the gang.
A low-level member, also known as Four Three Two, was the lowest rank in the gang.
Below that were Four Nines, but Four Nines were just small-time gangsters who hadn't been initiated yet, and strictly speaking, they weren't even official members of the gang.
Ah Wah was just a low-level member. If it weren't for Chen Xiao's connection, he wouldn't even have been qualified to attend today's negotiation.
To have such a person lead two gangs? One of which was the rising Old Wo? Wasn't that just pure nonsense?
Brother Huo Shui said with a wry smile, "Brother, this joke is a bit too much."
Alec's tone was even more sinister. "Brother Chen, I've been courteous enough to you, but courtesy is courtesy. Don't think that I, Alec, am afraid of you! Even if you're a dragon in Jiangbei, you have to coil up when you come to our Hong Kong!"
Under the pressure of these two big shots, Wah Gor also said in a low voice, "Brother, don't mess around. Your Brother Wah is good at eating, drinking, gambling, and running away, but to let me be the chairman, I'm not cut out for that!"
Wah Gor was still very self-aware. He didn't have the ambition, nor did he think he could handle the position.
Moreover, what Chen Xiao was doing was no different from putting him on the fire to roast. One wrong move, and he might even be killed!
Faced with the unanimous opposition from this group of people, Chen Xiao's lips curled up in a smile.
"I say you're cut out for it, then you're cut out for it. With me, Chen Xiao, around, even if you're a pile of mud, I'll support you and get you up on the wall!"
