"speak!"
"He has seven companies registered under his name at different addresses, most of which are in the business of building and decoration materials. However, our people found that three of these companies are linked to the raw material logistics line in the north. Every month, a special batch of goods comes in without any normal customs declaration process, and the amount is not shown on the books!"
"Used for money laundering?"
"Very likely."
Moreover, the receiving company belongs to an old acquaintance of his, surnamed Yu. Five years ago, they worked together in another city, and later started their business together in Causeway Bay doing construction engineering!
Xu Lang flipped through the form, glancing at Yu Moumou's name before his finger lingered on it for two seconds.
Where are we now?
"I heard they went to the mainland yesterday and I can't contact them for now!"
"If we can't catch the person, we'll arrest his company!"
Xu Lang closed the file and tossed it onto the table.
Chapter 634 Fists Speak
"Have Situ Haonan take a group of people to those companies. No thugs allowed, just an investigation team. The official reason is to check the contracts and logistics handover. Anyone who doesn't cooperate, send them back immediately!"
"Tell them we're here to help them audit their accounts, not to take their lives!"
"It's easy to say nice things, but you have to be prepared to take concrete actions!"
"Situ Haonan knows his limits!"
He Xigui nodded and put the document back into the file bag.
"And one more thing!"
Xu Lang glanced at him.
"speak!"
“Last night I received news that one of Liu Yongxing’s men got into a fight at an underground casino in Wanbei. They said it was a conflict with our people, but I checked and that place doesn’t belong to us. It’s run by the Dafa Gang!”
Who made the move?
"None of us intervened; it was their own people who started the trouble, and then they insisted that we were the ones who brought people to cause trouble!"
Xu Lang closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and thought for two seconds.
"The Dafa gang has been behaving themselves lately. Cai Dafa learned his lesson once and knows his limits. Logically, he won't provoke us!"
"Liu Yongxing is building momentum!"
"He wanted to create chaos, to make other organizations think we were the ones starting trouble, so that he could organize a so-called 'neutral chamber of commerce' to unite those organizations that were unwilling to take sides, to discuss cooperation while stirring up trouble from behind!"
He Xigui responded in a low voice.
"This person thinks a lot!"
"But it's not surprising, he's not stupid!"
Xu Lang opened his eyes, his tone indifferent.
"Since he wants to remain neutral, then let's show him what the consequences of having no stance are!"
"Tell Ah-Ji to find three people to pose as representatives of a small gang and approach Liu Yongxing to discuss joining. See what he says!"
"Record what he says, and try to get as much information out of him as possible!"
"We don't need him to be afraid. As long as he slips up, we'll handle the rest ourselves!"
"understand!"
He Xigui turned and went out.
Xu Lang stood up and walked to the window.
The weather was neither too hot nor too cold, and the sea was calm in the distance.
The sky over Hong Kong Island is always gray, unlike the clear blue sky over distant places, but in his eyes, this sky is very clear.
Some people are pretending to be stupid, some are risking their lives, and some are trying to climb over him.
He could see everything clearly.
The problem is, they can't hold on.
A week later, Aji brought back the items.
Liu Yongxing did indeed intend to integrate a group of local associations and wanted to establish a so-called "Joint Chamber of Commerce." His aim was to provide a unified channel for those small associations to connect, under the guise of "self-protection," while secretly collecting management fees and tolls. He even proposed to form a "business protection team" which he would coordinate.
This matter was quickly handed over to Xu Lang.
"This guy has some nerve!"
He listened to the recording and chuckled.
"You want to collect protection money, fine, but you also want to train troops?"
"Does he think that Tojo Yamashita can protect him?"
Hong Wentong remained silent, sitting to the side observing Xu Lang's expression.
Xu Lang closed the file folder and tossed it aside.
"It's time to take action!"
"Notify Wang Jianjun and Lei Yaoyang tonight to mobilize a group of people to simultaneously audit the accounts of several major companies controlled by Liu Yongxing at three different locations!"
"Aji, take two groups of men and stake out his hideout. Let's see if he dares to come back!"
"If he's still in the area, bring him back!"
"If he runs away, freeze all his funds, take back his territory, shut down his company, and remove all his staff!"
"We are not afraid of making enemies, but we cannot allow poison to remain!"
Hong Wentong nodded.
"I'll arrange it!"
"Remember!"
Xu Lang turned his head, his tone becoming extremely indifferent.
"Don't let him see the sun tomorrow morning!"
Chapter 635 Kneel First, Then Talk
"Just spare his life, but don't spare his hands, feet, mouth, or resources!"
After these words were spoken, the entire Tung Sing gang began to quietly mobilize its manpower. Many people did not know the specific purpose of this operation, only that the deputy leader had personally given the order to mobilize vehicles, personnel, and data overnight, without using firearms, but to "quickly and cleanly".
By 11 p.m., forces were deployed simultaneously from Wanbei, Tsim Sha Hau, and Eastern District.
In less than an hour, all four core companies under Liu Yongxing's control were taken over, accounting staff were taken away, warehouses were sealed off, and no outsiders were allowed to approach.
Dongxing makes its moves without leaving a trace, but it is also swift and decisive.
Liu Yongxing himself was cornered at the back door of a private club in Wannan at 2 a.m.
He tried to escape through the window, but as soon as he climbed over the railing, Ah-Ji dragged him down and pinned him to the ground.
"What are you hiding from?"
"Brother Xu just wanted to invite you for a cup of tea!"
Liu Yongxing was trembling all over, and he didn't even have the strength to resist.
"Didn't I say that?"
Aji patted him on the shoulder.
"I'll have to drink this tea sooner or later!"
"We've arrived!"
The entire Hong Kong Island community woke up the next morning to the same news:
Liu Yongxing—It's over.
No one had ever seen him; all they knew was that all his businesses, funds, territory, and partners had suddenly disappeared overnight.
Xu Lang did not issue a single announcement or utter a single word publicly.
He only did one thing—
He changed the name of a building materials market he had once invested in on Causeway Bay West Street to "Dongxinghui Shopping Mall".
The sign that used to read "Yongxing Building Materials" was smashed and trampled on, and even the logo on the wall was scratched down to just a few paint marks.
No one dared to ask what had happened.
Because everyone knows:
Liu Yongxing was personally uprooted by Xu Lang.
This is not the end of a collaboration, but a warning—
From now on, anyone who dares to mess with Tung Sing will end up worse off than Liu Yongxing.
The Hong Kong underworld is always well-informed. No one saw how Lau Wing-hing's entire empire collapsed overnight, but everyone knew that Tung Sing was behind it.
The leaders of various gangs tightened their manpower, and those who were secretly plotting something all temporarily went silent. As a result, many black market logistics lines under chambers of commerce and conglomerates also quietly withdrew their pilot branches from Dongxing territory.
They weren't admitting defeat, but they realized something—Xu Lang was still watching.
Compared to the leader who rarely showed his face and sat in the main hall a few months ago, Xu Lang now seems to have returned to the ruthless character who personally killed people and rushed to the front. He is clean and merciless, and he doesn't follow any rules or etiquette when he beats you. He just cuts you to the throat with one blow.
"...Dongxing is not only untouchable now, it's unprovoked!"
These are the words spoken by Hong Wentong at the General Meeting.
Xu Lang didn't interrupt, he just sat at the head of the table and smoked.
The entire conference room was so quiet you could hear the ticking of the clock. Everyone was looking down at their documents, and no one dared to look up and speculate on what Wang Ma Zhao was thinking.
After the meeting, he asked everyone to leave behind a list of key personnel, and then he went through them one by one.
Lei Yaoyang submitted a report on the control of logistics in the North District, highlighting several small and medium-sized merchants who were still observing the situation, saying that these people were hesitant and might be lured away by other forces.
Wang Jianjun submitted a report on the nightclub cleanup operation west of Causeway Bay. The first round has been completed, but two karaoke venues that originally belonged to Liu Yongxing have not yet been handed over, and the main force needs to negotiate again.
