Chapter 59: A Sign of Appreciation!
Chapter 59: A Sign of Appreciation!
Wang Laoji, a man without sons, had lived a peaceful life in the underworld for decades. Even when the Japanese came, they couldn't kill him. Wang Laoji had a high reputation and status in the underworld and had a smooth life. However, he failed when it came to having offspring.
So the older Wang Laoji gets, the kinder he becomes, and he can't stand seeing this young man being bullied.
A phrase Wang Laoji often says is: "A fierce tiger doesn't eat a stray dog, and rain doesn't pour on a drowning person."
Wanglaoji wants to intervene whenever it sees someone bullying others.
He was old and highly respected, so he was very successful in his chivalrous deeds.
The two brothers, Ma Shih-hao and Ma Shih-hai, sought help from Wang Lao-ji and showed remarkable backbone. Wang Lao-ji immediately accepted them as his godsons and took them back to the dock to seek revenge.
When Wang Laoji arrived at the dock with dozens of his men, all he found were seven or eight thugs who looked after the dock, who were no match for him.
While scolding these thugs for bullying people, Wang Laoji handed them over to his godson to deal with.
Ma Shih-hai was kind-hearted and simply let these thugs jump into the sea; if it were Ma Shih-hao, he would have broken their legs first before throwing them into the sea.
This gave Wang Laoji a certain understanding of his two godsons.
It is because of these kinds of things that Wang Laoji has become the current leader of Fu Yixing. Only with him can Fu Yixing, which is mainly composed of Chaozhou people, unite as one and fight against Dong Fuhe!
There are many community groups mainly composed of Teochew people, and many large community groups have emerged. Today, the largest Teochew community group is Fu Yi Xing.
When Wang Laoji faced Ge Dalongtou, he didn't give him much face. He had the backing to back Dong Fuhe with Liu Fu behind him. His Fuyixing also dared to go against Dong Fuhe. So what if there was a number gang? They weren't afraid!
Wang Laoji arrived at Lao Wu Teahouse, entered a private room, and without doing anything else, first asked Lao Wu to serve wine and dishes so that his two newly adopted godsons could eat their fill.
"Uncle Ji, congratulations!"
Seeing Wang Laoji's expression, Ge Dalong remained silent for a long time before speaking.
"Well, it's not enough to just talk. I've taken on a godson, that's a great thing. Shouldn't I send a little red envelope to congratulate him?"
Wang Laoji glanced at Ge Dalong and didn't stand on ceremony with him. This kid was definitely going to give up and needed his help to fight Dong Fuhe. If he didn't squeeze him for a good amount of money, he would have been out in the business for nothing!
"Uncle Ji is right. Here, my two nephews, take this money for your pocket money."
Ge Dalongtou was taken aback by Wang Laoji's words, then took out his wallet, glanced at Wang Laoji again, and handed two hundred-yuan bills to the Ma brothers, Ma Shihai and Ma Shihao.
The Wanglaoji herbal tea is right in front of us, and we need their help, so we can't give them too little money.
When the brothers Ma Shihai and Ma Shihao saw the hundred-yuan bill, their eyes lit up. When had they ever seen so much money? Even after becoming Wang Laoji's son, they had never received so much money!
However, neither of the brothers accepted the money; instead, they both turned to look at Wanglaoji.
"Since Ge Dalong has taken it out, you should accept it. Don't forget to thank him."
Wang Laoji smiled and said to his two godson.
"Thank you, Chief Ge!"
"Thank you, Chief Ge!"
The two brothers, Ma Shihai and Ma Shihao, quickly accepted the hundred-yuan bill and said with smiles.
"Alright, stop chatting with the kids. Tell me, what did Boss Ge invite me here for?"
Wang Laoji straightened his back and then said to Ge Dalongtou, "I've already made my stance clear. We can't delay any longer, or we'll become enemies."
"Uncle Ji, you're an old hand. You know exactly what I'm thinking. It's nothing more than Dongfu and what's going on over there."
"Everyone in the underworld knows that Fu Yixing and Dong Fuhe are mortal enemies. Uncle Ji has seen enough of the commotion lately, it's time for him to make his move."
Ge Dalongtou said to Wang Laoji.
"That's the gist of the matter, but we're all in this business to make money. We can't let our brothers risk their lives over some petty grudges in the underworld, can we?"
"I've heard that Anle and Dongfu were both badly taken advantage of by you back then. You were the one who took them out to do things, but they suffered significant losses, and you didn't give them a single penny."
"It's perfectly normal for Anle and Dongfuhe to ask you for some money for their medicine because they don't want to suffer this loss in silence."
"There's a saying circulating in the underworld now that you, Ge Dalong, are a jinx and shouldn't be partnered with."
Wang Laoji chuckled and didn't accept Ge Dalongtou's suggestion. Instead, he brought up the recent rumors about Ge Dalongtou in the underworld and tried to bargain with him.
If we're talking about the most hated triads in Hong Kong, the number one is the Green Gang, and the number two is the Number Gang.
Because both of them were outsiders who came to Hong Kong after the war!
The remaining clubs are all homegrown, even the New Club has a legitimate lineage.
The Green Gang and the Number Gang are outsiders who have crossed over from other regions; they are not affiliated with the local gangs at all.
Now things are fine, the Green Gang is almost finished, because Du Yuesheng died a few months ago.
The biggest backer of the Green Gang in Hong Kong Island is gone!
The Green Gang was able to establish itself in Hong Kong and cause quite a stir because of Du Yuesheng's nationwide reputation as a gangster, as well as the support of financial groups in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.
In reality, the Green Gang and the Hongmen have been at odds for many years.
The Green Gang originated from the Canal Gang, which in turn relied on the Manchu Qing dynasty to make a living on the Grand Canal.
Local community organizations are all based on the Hongmen tradition, although they are not very formal. It was only after Hei Gu Ren came and integrated them that they had a complete Hongmen code and tradition.
But that's the Hongmen!
The Hongmen was born to overthrow the Qing dynasty and restore the Ming dynasty!
This is quite obvious; the Hongmen and the Green Gang are mortal enemies!
For many years, a saying has circulated in the martial arts world: "From green to red, adorned with red and colorful decorations; from red to green, three cuts and six holes."
The Hongmen and its various affiliated organizations, such as the Heaven and Earth Society, the Small Knife Society, the Gelaohui, and the Paoge, mostly developed in the Yangtze River basin and Jiangnan region.
For years he had dreamed of going north, but the Green Gang had stopped him.
The two sides fought for at least a hundred years, or even longer, until the Grand Canal failed, at which point the Green Gang and the Hongmen reconciled.
They even dragged in the White Lotus Sect, creating a new jingle: "Red flowers, green leaves, white lotus root, the three sects are originally one family."
This formed an alliance against the Qing dynasty and for the restoration of the Ming dynasty, and many people later joined the revolutionary party.
While this action boosted the revolutionary party's momentum in the short term, it also sowed the seeds of future problems regarding the quality of some members of the revolutionary party.
Now that Du Yuesheng is dead, the Green Gang in Hong Kong has been targeted and almost completely wiped out by local triads. Even though they have the support of the Jiangzhe financial groups behind them, it's no use!
