Chapter 12 Daewoo: A Mixed Bag
"Ah Hua, Airplane, arrange for someone to take over Hong Tai's territory. Be careful not to damage any gang assets!"
"OK!"
Ahua and Feiji took over the scene.
Although Big Head Cheng and Snake Boy's confidants wanted to stop them, their boss's fate was still unknown, and Little Tyrant was subdued by Chen Fan with one punch. They dared not cause trouble and could only obediently accept the arrangement to take over Hong Tai's territory in Kowloon City.
Chen Fan randomly picked a public phone to contact Da Yu and share the good news.
Upon hearing that Chen Fan had successfully established his presence in Kowloon City, Da Yu was incredibly excited.
Unfortunately, his excitement didn't last long. When he heard that Da Tou Cheng and She Zai Chao had lost too much blood and were sent to an illegal clinic with their lives hanging in the balance, his heart sank to the bottom.
These two are his right-hand men. If both of them were to fall, he might not even be able to protect his territory in Kwun Tong.
After delivering the good news, Chen Fan found Ahua and the other person.
"Brother Fan, I've had our men collect all the money, ledgers, and safes left at Hongtai's place," Ahua said excitedly.
Chen Fan asked, "Didn't anyone else see it?"
"We were the ones who led the people in first, and only after we finished cleaning up were we arranged to take over the place. We took things out either through the back door or through the back window."
"It's good that no one noticed. We'll send the stuff back to the bar now. Your boss is on his way."
The plane volunteered, "Brother Fan, I'll take some men back under the guise of a defense mission to bring the stuff back."
"Okay, go ahead."
It's impossible to plant a flag and seize territory without making any gains. These gains are generally not reported to the gang. If someone in the gang asks, it's because the other person took the items with them when they ran away. They can't possibly go to someone else's territory to verify it.
Even if you verify it, they might not admit it. Being robbed of territory is already embarrassing enough; admitting to property loss would be like slapping yourself in the face.
A dozen minutes later, Daewoo arrived in a troop transport vehicle.
"Boss, it's all done!"
Chen Fan stepped forward to deliver the good news.
"good!"
"very good!"
"very good!"
Da Yu looked around at the familiar faces standing at the entrances of the venues, and he couldn't be happier.
Chen Fan handed a thick notebook to Da Yu. "Boss, the market management ledger for the chicken and duck pen is here, but the money was embezzled by Hong Tai and his cronies. We'll have to wait until next month to collect the fees."
Da Yu waved his hand, "It's alright, next month it is. A Fan, can you help me make an appointment with the marketing manager? I need to set some rules."
Chen Fan gave Ahua a look.
The latter understood and turned to look for the person.
Da Yu suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, A Fan, how are A Cheng and A Chao doing?"
"I had someone take them to the nearest unlicensed clinic. No one has told me anything about the situation, but it should be fine, right?"
"You didn't have anyone follow you?"
"Boss, the underling I just took in today is still on probation, so I only brought Ahua and Feiji. I can't spare any more men to go with him. Feiji even took some people back to check out the bar earlier."
"..."
Daewoo fell silent.
He also expected that the skills of his two trusted confidants had declined so quickly. They hadn't had a real fight with anyone in just a few years, and they were already injured in today's encounter.
Damn it, could it be a self-fulfilling prophecy and these two guys have to retire early?
Da Yu suddenly had a bad feeling.
Seeing Da Yu's exhausted expression, as if he'd been constipated for ten or fifteen days, Chen Fan suppressed a laugh and asked, "Boss, should I have Ahua ask Brother Cheng's people?"
"I'll arrange for someone to go and take a look myself."
Da Yu turned around and called over one of his underlings, instructing him to find out what was going on.
Less than five minutes later, the younger brother returned, bringing bad news.
"Boss, Brother Cheng and Brother Chao have lost too much blood... and they're dead."
"What?" Da Yu's eyes widened. "Dead?"
"Yeah, Cheng Ge passed out on the way. The illegal clinic didn't have blood packs that matched Chao Ge's blood type. He died ten minutes ago."
"Damn it!" Chen Fan slapped himself hard, tears streaming down his face, and said, "It's my fault! I didn't expect the shady clinics near Kowloon City to be so rubbish!"
"...Sigh!" Da Yu's anger turned into a sigh after Chen Fan slapped him. "Fan, this isn't your fault. When you're in this business, you're always prepared to have one foot in a police car and the other in a hearse."
"Ah Cheng and Ah Chao were lucky to get into trouble after hanging around for over ten or twenty years."
Da Yu paused, then asked, "Afan, do you remember who killed them?"
"That number belongs to A-Wu," Chen Fan added. "It must be Little Tyrant who paid him to guard the territory. Damn it, if I had known Little Tyrant would make A-Wu go all out, I would have killed him instead of turning him into an idiot!"
"Afan, you've done a great job. I'll have someone send you 500,000 tomorrow. It's a shame that Acheng and Achao are in trouble. Our gang is all relying on you. Recruit more people and keep this flag flying high."
"I'll talk to Mr. Jiang about tonight's matter and get your job sorted out as soon as possible. The white paper fan isn't suitable for you; you should get the red stick instead."
Although Da Yu was unwilling, Chen Fan was the only person he could rely on.
The entire gang only had two strongholds, and they were both wiped out in just one battle to plant the flag. What a damn loss!
"Boss, I think I'll just stick to making white paper fans. In my heart, the top leader in our gang will always be Brother Cheng."
"Afan..."
"Boss, please don't try to persuade me anymore. Just let me know if you need anything in the future. All I want to do is hold my white paper fan."
Chen Fan deeply understood that the essence of making a fortune quietly lies in the word "survival"!
The red stick is like a cannon emplacement; it's too conspicuous and not suitable for someone like him who relies on his intellect.
"Alright, you've worked hard tonight too. Here's 100,000 yuan. Take your men out for a late-night snack and then go back to rest."
Daewoo has once again revealed that he spent 100,000 yuan on late-night snacks.
Chen Fan didn't stand on ceremony. He took the money, called Ah Hua, and led his henchmen away in a grand procession.
Only about ten of the men he brought suffered minor injuries; the rest were extremely excited and almost bursting with excitement.
Back at the bar, Chen Fan had Fly bring out the bluefin tuna he had set out that afternoon as a late-night snack to appease the newly joined underlings.
Of course, the prize money was also substantial; each member of the gang who participated in the game received 600 yuan, and those who were injured received 800 yuan.
Excluding the unopened safes, the loot looted from Hongtai's territory amounted to more than 2.6 million yuan in cash, of which 60% came from the poultry market, with the remainder consisting of assets from Hongtai's other establishments.
After counting the money, Ahua looked at the remaining three safes and said, "Brother Fan, I'll go and get a locksmith to open the safes."
"No need for that, I'll drive it myself."
Chen Fan picked up a paper cup and placed it next to the lock cylinder of the safe, turning it while listening to the sound.
He didn't have lock-picking skills, but his extraordinary physical abilities gave him decent hearing. After fiddling around for five or six minutes, he opened the three safes.
The safe didn't contain a lot of money, only about a million Hong Kong dollars and a few hundred thousand US dollars, along with some luxury watches and jewelry.
"Here you go." Chen Fan picked out three good-quality gold bars and tossed them to Ahua and Feiji. "Ahua, give the extra one to Wuying. Remember to tell him to keep a low profile."
"By the way, we'll recruit another 150 people tomorrow, with the same requirements and the same treatment."
As Chen Fan spoke, he pointed out one million yuan and placed it in the most conspicuous safe in his office.
Ahua also knew the password to this cabinet; it contained the public funds of their small circle.
Ahua nodded and said, "Understood!"
"If you have time tomorrow, could you please urge the 'outsider' again? Make sure he pays the full amount for the intelligence, no need to pay on credit."
Both the intelligence on Hong Taizhong's core members and his confidants, as well as Luo Maosen's recent movements, were of great help to Chen Fan's next arrangements.
The sooner he gets the intelligence, the more time he has to plan ahead and carry out his schemes.
