"That was his last breath, left for Tojo!"
"I want him to know that he didn't lose because of a lack of ability, but because of his choices!"
"He chose to gamble on my exoneration, and he should pay the price for that decision!"
……
At this moment, Hong Wentong came up the stairs and stood in the rain with an umbrella.
"Brother Lang, Liu Yongxing is here, in the conference room!"
"He brought documents and people, saying he wanted to discuss 'future cooperation.' His attitude was excellent, and he was very sweet-talking!"
Xu Lang gave a cold laugh.
"Sweet talk? He's only taking that out now? Too late!"
"However—since they've arrived, let's meet them!"
"I want to see if he'll kneel even more than before!"
……
The conference room at the East Star headquarters was dimly lit, yet the atmosphere was oppressively suffocating.
Liu Yongxing was dressed in a gray suit, his eyes were respectful, and he stood ramrod straight.
He was followed by two assistants, their heads bowed, clearly having been trained in their demeanor.
Hong Wentong sat to one side, flipping through the documents Liu Yongxing had brought, his expression unreadable.
The door was pushed open, and Xu Lang walked in. Without looking at Liu Yongxing, he sat down and lit a cigarette.
"Say!"
The voice was very calm and flat, yet it made Liu Yongxing shudder.
He quickly bowed.
"Brother Lang, I've come here to show my sincerity!"
"I know I made mistakes before, and I wasn't smart!"
"But as long as a person is alive, they can repent!"
"I brought three plots of land, two business opportunities, and a sum of cash!"
"I'll do anything if Tung Sing is willing to take me back!"
"If you tell me to go east, I dare not go west!"
Xu Lang didn't speak, he just slowly smoked, as if he hadn't heard at all.
Liu Yongxing nervously swallowed.
He knew that Xu Lang was waiting for him to kneel down on his own initiative.
He hesitated for two seconds.
finally-
"Plop" sound.
He knelt down, his knees on the ground and his forehead touching the floor.
"Brother Lang, I truly admit it!"
"Give me a way out, and I'll never try anything funny again!"
"I don't need anything right now, I just beg Brother Lang to let me have some food to eat!"
The entire conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Xu Lang stubbed out his cigarette and finally looked up.
"You want to live? I can give you life!"
"But starting today, you are no longer the gang leader, no longer a businessman, no longer anyone!"
"You're nothing but my dog!"
"I tell you to scream, so scream; I tell you to bite someone, so bite them!"
Are you willing?
Liu Yongxing pressed his forehead to the floor, his voice trembling.
"Yes...yes!"
"I'm just a dog, I'll listen to whatever Brother Lang says!"
Xu Lang stood up and glanced at him.
"Get out of here, and bring your men and the place with you!"
"I want to see the contract and the transfer of ownership by tonight!"
"If even one of you disobeys, go slit your own throat and bring him here!"
Liu Yongxing kowtowed three times. When he stood up, his forehead was already red and swollen. He turned around and led his men out.
Hong Wentong watched his departing figure, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
"This dog won't bite anymore!"
Xu Lang smiled faintly.
"It's fine if he doesn't bite, I just want him to stay alive!"
"As for the sound of the dog barking... practice a few times and it'll sound familiar!"
……
The pressure on the three-person group is increasing.
Tojo Yamashi met with Matsui several times, but never discussed the offensive again. Instead, he repeatedly asked, "Is there anyone else we can use?"
The answer is no.
Chapter 427 Ah Ji Makes His Move, Who Wants to Die?!
The lines that were previously cast out have either died or been recruited.
Others, under duress from the Tung Sing gang, simply fled, disappearing from Hong Kong Island along with their families.
Xu Lang, however, did not rush to make a move. He seemed to be playing cat and mouse, slowly dragging things out and gradually cutting away at Tojo's defenses until they crumbled little by little.
Matsui couldn't help but ask.
"If we don't leave now, everyone might be left behind on Hong Kong Island!"
"You're planning to fight him to the death?"
Tojo Yamashita's eyes were ferocious, and he gritted his teeth.
"Desperately?"
"I'm already giving it my all!"
"From the day I set foot on Hong Kong Island, there was no turning back!"
"Xu Lang... I dream of tearing that name to shreds!"
"Even if my entire army is wiped out, I will still bite off a piece of his flesh!"
He suddenly stood up, walked to the far corner of the room, and pulled open a hidden compartment in the floor.
"I have one last card!"
Matsui's eyes sharpened as he looked at the box of metal crates.
"This is-"
Tojoyama gritted his teeth.
"This is the special forces equipment from the Yamaguchi-gumi's overseas resource warehouse!"
"The original plan was to save it for the most critical moment, but now—the time has come!"
"I'm not going to resort to bribery and infiltration anymore!"
"I'm going to do something big!"
"Let the whole of Hong Kong know that the Yamaguchi-gumi has come to rule, not to make a living!"
"Tell those men—get ready to act!"
……
Early the next morning.
A cargo transshipment terminal owned by Tung Sing was suddenly attacked.
A dozen masked men dressed in black used high-frequency electric shocks and firearms to stage a "robbery," smashing several shipping containers and leaving the scene in a mess.
This is the first wave of action by the Yamaguchi-gumi after they mobilized their elite forces.
Swift, decisive, and ruthless; no survivors were left, and no valuables were taken.
It's pure destruction.
Xu Lang quickly learned of the news.
As he stood beside the ruins of the transit station, dawn was breaking.
The air still smelled of burning metal, and the ground was littered with broken iron, charred tires, and broken supports, as if a battle had just ended.
Lei Yaoyang stood behind him, his face full of anger.
"Brother Lang, these guys aren't just ordinary gang thugs!"
"They worked efficiently and cleanly, and their expertise in firearms is evident; they've clearly received special training!"
Xu Lang nodded.
"Tojo is getting anxious!"
"He's betting we won't dare to fight him head-on!"
