Chapter 22 Using someone else's name to intimidate you
It's Wu Shih-hao!
Yu Laoming turned around and saw Wu Shihao with Sha Laowu, Ya Ba Xiong, Da Ji and seven or eight henchmen. His heart sank: Could it be that the bastard who replaced Uncle Yu today was from the water room?
With a forced smile, Yu Laoming rolled his eyes, pulled out a cigarette, and walked up to Wu Shih-hao: "Ah-hao, what brings you here? Everyone in the underworld is saying your business is booming lately. You actually have time to come over here?"
Wu Shih-hao held up the half-smoked cigarette in his hand and refused the cigarette offered by Yu Lao-ming: "Sigh, my little business is so busy every day that I'm working myself to the bone, and I can barely make ends meet."
How can anyone compare to Brother Ming? You're a veteran in the underworld, with deep roots and a powerful background.
My cousin told me that even Boss Li wants to partner with you in business!
As early as ten years ago, Yu Laoming had already become a Red Pole (a high-ranking official in China).
He was not only nearly a decade older (12 years) than Wu Shih-hao, but also a level higher in terms of seniority in the underworld.
Therefore, Wu Shih-hao's statement about being a senior figure was not wrong.
"Ah Hao, don't joke like that."
"What level am I in? What level is Boss Li at?" Yu Laoming's face darkened, and he retorted coldly, "If these words reach Boss Li's ears, I won't be able to bear it."
"Hey, Ming, stop pretending." Wu Shih-hao sneered repeatedly, glancing at Yu Lao-ming with the whites of his triangular eyes: "My cousin has already thoroughly investigated the matter of you and your cheap uncle colluding to steal plastic flower waste from Boss Li's factory by using low prices and accounting tricks."
I'm not afraid to be honest with you.
I, Ah-hao, came here today to remind you.
A single phone call from a rich guy carries a hundred times the weight of the machetes we carry.
"Damn it! Wu Shih-hao, you're clearly threatening me!" Yu Laoming roared, grabbing Wu Shih-hao's shirt collar.
Wu Shih-hao raised his eyebrows, about to lash out.
Lin Yuanshan's voice came from outside the crowd: "Brother Hao, let's go."
I just called Brother Cheng from the Kowloon plainclothes police unit and told him not to keep him waiting.
The two people in the standoff looked in the direction of the sound.
Both sides' henchmen scrambled to avoid the boss's gaze, revealing Lin Yuanshan, who was carrying a suit jacket in one hand and fiddling with a Zippo lighter in the other!
"You brat, this is Shek Kip Mei, under the jurisdiction of Sham Shui Po Police Station."
"You're trying to scare the ghosts by bringing out a Kowloon plainclothes officer!" Fishman Ming retorted defiantly, while also loosening Wu Shih-hao's collar.
Lin Yuanshan didn't even glance at him, and walked straight up to Wu Shihao: "Brother Hao, got a cigarette? Give me one."
Wu Shih-hao laughed heartily, took out an unopened pack of Lucky Coins and handed it over.
As Lin Yuanshan dismantled the device, he said, "Brother A-Ming, right?"
Some things, if you don't weigh them, they're nothing; but once you put them on the scale, they're incredibly heavy.
Your uncle is so audacious! It's one thing to sell scrap materials at low prices, but he even dares to falsify the accounts.
The factories owned by Mr. Li are being reformed to adopt Western management systems.
Even without me, your secrets couldn't have been kept hidden for long.
With Brother Hao here today, you definitely can't touch me.
Besides! What can you do if you mess with me?
The matter has already come to light. This is my first day at work. If you expect me to take the blame for the dirty dealings between you two uncles and nephews that have lasted for three years, then Boss Li has to be willing to believe me.
Therefore, you have no other choice but to immediately sever ties with your uncle and make him bear this sin.
I'll teach you how to break out of this predicament; no need to say thank you.
After all, I feel quite bad about sending your uncle to jail.
Okay, let's hurry to get to the food stalls, that's all for now.
After saying this, Lin Yuanshan told Sha Laowu and Daji to leave.
Wu Shih-hao patted Yu Lao-ming on the shoulder: "Since A-Yuan doesn't expect you to say thank you, and you were too agitated just now and grabbed my collar, I, A-hao, am magnanimous and you don't need to apologize."
Ming, we're all in this together.
It's about seeking wealth, not anger.
I only embarrassed an uncle today, not my dad!
Besides, you two have embezzled a lot of money over the past three years.
If you make a mistake, you should admit it; if you get punished, you should stand up straight. You don't even need to admit it now, so what else are you dissatisfied with?
Ha, off I'm off! Time for some tea, hahaha.
With his head tilted back and a cigarette dangling from his lips, Wu Shih-hao laughed heartily and led his gang of henchmen to catch up with Lin Yuan-shan.
Fishman Ming was trembling with rage, but his henchmen, without his orders, dared not go up and start a fight.
After Wu Shih-hao and his gang escorted Lin Yuan-shan away, Yu Lao-ming turned around and kicked over a green trash can: "Damn! Wu Shih-hao, and that handsome guy named A-Yuan, alright, alright, I'll remember you."
"Ming-ge, Ah-hao isn't even officially employed. If it weren't for Fatty Kun, who would take a lowly clerk like him seriously? These two brothers are so arrogant today, I might as well take care of them..."
One of his trusted confidants was trying to make a good impression, but before he could finish speaking, Yu Laoming slapped him on the back of the head: "Shut up!"
Do you think that handsome guy is taking advantage of Wu Shih-hao's influence?
They're just using Li Yicheng as a figurehead to scare me!
"On his first day at work, the previous manager was found to have embezzled funds, and he was taken out as soon as he left the factory. Are you worried that this matter won't reach Li Yicheng or his associates?"
After a barrage of insults, Fishman Ming not only silenced his henchmen, but also vented his own anger.
After taking one last look at the factory gate, Fishman silently apologized before turning and striding away with his henchmen.
A few minutes later.
At the factory gate, Wu Shih-hao and Yu Lao-ming first confronted each other, and then Lin Yuan-shan came out of the factory gate to resolve the situation.
Some of the workers who were watching went to Xu Neng privately and told him everything.
"Alright, I got it." Xu Neng tossed a cigarette to the messenger and reminded him sternly, "Focus on your work tomorrow. Don't spread these stories about gangsters around the factory. Boss Li has never liked them."
"Yes, yes, I was just watching for fun." The worker took the cigarette and nodded quickly.
After the man left, Xu Neng leaned back in his chair and suddenly burst out laughing: "What a Lin Yuanshan! He managed to break up this whole mess by pulling the tiger's skin from afar."
"Sigh, Lao Yu, there's nothing I can do. Even your nephew has given up on you. Looks like it's time for the factory to call the police."
After saying that, Xu Neng picked up the phone receiver and dialed the Sham Shui Po Police Station: "Hello, could you please have Detective Deng Nan come over to answer the phone? This is Xu Neng, the factory manager of Wong Ho Plastics Shek Kip Mei Factory..."
On the way to the factory in the caged police car, Lin Yuanshan and Wu Shihao's group had already ordered two tables full of fresh seafood stir-fries at Hui Ji Restaurant on Bayu Street.
Besides Lin Yuanshan, Wu Shih-hao, Sha Lao Wu, Da Ji, and Ya Ba Xiong, there was one more seat left at the main table.
This table was reserved for the Kowloon City Police Station plainclothes officers, while Wu Shih-hao's henchmen had a table set up next to it.
Twenty minutes later, Shi Licheng rushed over, and after just taking a sip of beer, he was stunned by what Lin Yuanshan said: "What? Yuan, you want us to invest in opening a factory?"
