Upon hearing Li Jun's words, Lei Gong and Nie Aotian were both slightly taken aback. They never expected that Li Jun, who was famous throughout the Greater Bay Area, would be so young.
"It seems I am quite famous now."
Li Jun said with a smile.
Then, the smile on his face vanished abruptly. He stared at Lei Gong and Nie Aotian, and said slowly, word by word, "Since you've heard of my name, Li Jun, you still dare to touch my people?"
Upon hearing Li Jun's words, both Lei Gong and Nie Aotian's expressions tightened. Although Li Jun's tone was calm, to them it was as if they could see mountains of corpses and seas of blood...
[118] Killing someone by destroying their spirit: The ruthless style of the number one man in the Greater Bay Area
On a small boat beside White Stone Island.
"Li Jun, we admit defeat tonight. Just tell us what you want."
Nie Aotian, being straightforward, immediately admitted defeat.
"No rush, some people haven't arrived yet. Once everyone is here, we can sit down together and chat slowly."
Li Jun smiled.
Upon hearing Li Jun's words, both Lei Gong and Nie Aotian instantly realized what Li Jun meant, and a look of shock flashed across their eyes.
“Li Jun, I heard people say that you are the most arrogant young man in the history of Hong Kong’s underworld. Now it seems that they underestimated you.”
Nie Aotian stared at Li Jun and spoke slowly.
Taking action against He Xin in Macau is equivalent to taking action against the four major families in Hong Kong. Whether it will succeed is another matter, but the audacity alone is astonishing.
"Ring ring ring!"
Just then, the satellite phone next to Li Jun rang.
"Which one?"
Li Jun asked the question.
Subsequently.
"Not enough explosives? Macau is so big, go rob some elsewhere, do I need to teach you that?"
Li Jun's words terrified Nie Aotian and Lei Gong.
A dozen seconds later, Li Jun put down the phone and shook his head helplessly. The smart people had all been sent out to do things, and Li Wang and Feng Yuxiu could only make do with what they had.
"Nie Aotian, Lei Gong, it seems He Xin doesn't really want to see you tonight."
Li Jun looked at Nie Aotian and Lei Gong and said with a smile.
‘Ring ring ring~’
Just then, the satellite phone next to Li Jun rang again.
"Which one?"
Li Jun picked up the satellite phone, pressed the answer button, and asked.
"Li Jun, this is He Xian."
An old man's voice came through the receiver.
Upon hearing this name, Li Jun's eyes flickered slightly.
Who in the entire Greater Bay Area hasn't heard of Ho Yin, the King of Macau?
He sold his property to fund the Dongjiang guerrillas but was assassinated by the Japanese. After hiding in Southeast Asia for four years, he returned to Macau and made a comeback, effectively sidelining the Japanese governor and becoming the de facto Chinese governor of Macau.
Each individual experience of He Xian's life is a legend; put them together, and it becomes a legend among legends.
It is said that He Xian, the gambling king of Macau, controls the livelihoods of half of the people in Macau. Everything that the people of Macau need—firewood, rice, oil, salt, and water—is in He Xian's hands.
Everyone knows that He Xin, Nie Aotian, and the others are just 'housekeepers' hired by He Xian. Without He Xian's approval, their gambling licenses, on which they depend for survival, would be rendered useless in an instant, and the massive casino would collapse in a heartbeat.
"Mr. He, it's an honor to meet you."
However, Li Jun respected He Xian, but he was not afraid of him. He dared to confront the Governor of Hong Kong, let alone the Chinese Governor of Macau.
"Ah Jun, I'll call you Ah Jun out of seniority. The fireworks in Haojiang tonight were a bit too loud, keeping this old man from sleeping. Would you be interested in coming to Haojiang to chat with this old man? I'll bring He Xin along."
On the other end of the phone, He Xian said with a smile.
“Mr. He, chatting with you is no problem, but I’m a bit of a coward and I don’t dare to take a boat at night. If you don’t mind, I’d appreciate it if you could take He Xin to Baishi Island.”
Li Jun replied with a smile.
In Li Jun's view, since He Xian wants to talk, he should show the attitude of talking. If He Xian says one word and I, Li Jun, am running to Haojiang, then there is no point in talking. I would just go there to be lectured.
"Hahahaha, Ah Jun, you really are... Tonight, I'll let you mess with this old bone of mine."
After hearing Li Jun's words, He Xian didn't seem angry at all. Instead, he laughed and hung up the phone after saying that.
In the Chinese-style courtyard of He Xian in Haojiang.
"Mr. He, what did Li Jun say that made you laugh so happily?"
Seeing He Xian's smiling face, Huang San asked with some curiosity.
“I asked Li Jun to come to Haojiang to talk, but he asked me to go to Baishi Island to talk.”
He Xian said with a smile.
"You agreed?"
Huang San looked at He Xian and asked.
"Ah."
He Xian nodded slightly.
"..."
Hearing He Xian's words, Huang San was speechless. He thought to himself, "Aren't you a bit shameless, old man? A young man makes you, an old man, take a boat ride for more than an hour in the middle of the night to see him, and you're quite happy about it?"
Do you think I'm a bit cheap?
He Xian seemed to have heard Huang San's thoughts.
"No no……"
Huang San quickly shook his head in denial.
“Huang San, in 1939, before the Japanese invaded Hong Kong Island, the gambling king of Macau was still Fu Laorong. At that time, I had just gained some influence in Macau and had a conflict with Fu Laorong. Fu Laorong asked Bob, the then director of the Macau Assembly, to come forward and let me go to his villa to talk to him.”
A flicker of recollection crossed He Xian's eyes. "Guess what I replied to Bob back then?"
“Mr. He, my second brother has told me this story eight hundred times. You replied that you proposed the negotiations, so you have no say in where they are held. Otherwise, what kind of negotiations are you talking about? I’d rather go listen to this foreign devil’s lecture.”
Huang San said with a helpless expression.
His second brother, named Huang Er, was also He Xian's bodyguard. He sacrificed his life in the southeastern Guangdong River in 1944.
“That’s right. People who fear authority will never reach the top. If Li Jun really came to Haojiang, I would be a little disappointed. But his suggestion to go to Baishi Island is a pleasant surprise. It gives me hope. Why not make a trip to Baishi Island?”
He Xian said with a smile.
"Mr. He, how old are you this year?"
Huang San suddenly spoke up and asked.
"Sixty-six, what's wrong?"
He Xian answered subconsciously.
"Sixty-six. I heard Li Jun is in his twenties. The timeline matches up. Mr. He, is Li Jun really not your illegitimate son?"
After calculating, Huang Sanyi looked at He Xian and posed a probing question.
"..."
He Xian looked at Huang San, who had an inquisitive expression, and was somewhat speechless. Remembering that Huang San was always like this, he could only say helplessly, "Tell your apprentice to go find He Xin's daughter, He Tian'er, and tell her..."
"it is good!"
After hearing He Xian's words, Huang San's expression changed slightly. He then looked at He Xian and asked solemnly, "Mr. He, is Li Jun really not your illegitimate son?"
"roll!"
He Xian's words were concise and to the point.
"More than 20 years ago, I did go to Hong Kong Island a few times, but I don't think I saw any women. Could it be that I drank too much with those bastards on Hong Kong Island that night..."
As Huang San walked towards the door, he muttered to himself.
"..."
Hearing Huang San's words, He Xian's face was full of helplessness. Huang San was good in every way, except for this one thing. Then, He Xian picked up the satellite phone next to him and dialed a number.
"Ah Xin, it's me, He Xian."
After the call connected, He Xian spoke calmly.
"Mr. He, what can I do for you?"
On the other end of the phone, He Xin sat in his safe house. Although his tone was normal, his face was extremely ugly.
Tonight's experience was a disgrace for He Xin, perhaps only slightly less humiliating than when his relative deliberately pulled out two of his front teeth years ago.
