Capítulo 153: Assustando os Irmãos Hong

"Puff."

Hong Nan, standing nearby, simply couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.

Hong Wen could not help but smile as well.

Who could have imagined that the illustrious "Yama Shen" would possess such a sense of humor.

As they all sat down, Shen Dong's gaze was sharp as lightning, and he said straightforwardly, "Brother Wen, last night you sent those five guys outside to kill me. I need an explanation."

As soon as these words were spoken, the previously somewhat cheerful atmosphere instantly turned heavy.

Without concealing anything, Hong Wen said honestly, "Uncle Mei came to me, and I wanted your businesses, so I sent people over. Whatever you want to do, just lay it down, and I'll take it, even if it costs me my life."

Shen Dong nodded and said, "Straightforward enough. Out of respect for you, twenty million, and I'll consider this matter as never having happened. From now on, when we meet, we are friends, and perhaps there will even be a possibility of cooperation."

Hong Nan sneered and said, "Twenty million? You really dare to open your mouth. Shen Dong, do you know what place this is? This is our Tai Sheng Company."

Shen Dong glanced at Hong Nan and said indifferently, "Brother Nan, I'm wearing a bulletproof vest, so small-caliber handguns are useless against me. I advise you to take your hand out of your trouser pocket, lest you cause a misunderstanding."

With that, Shen Dong flicked his finger, and a steel ball struck the wall, embedding itself deeply inside.

Hong Nan looked at the steel ball, and his face instantly turned pale.

With such strong penetrating power, if it were to hit him, the damage inflicted would definitely be no less than that of a bullet.

Hong Wen clapped his hands and smiled, saying, "As expected of the Yama Shen who defeated eight top-tier experts. Twenty million is fine; I'll make a friend out of you. Ah Nan, the cheque."

Shen Dong's display of skill left Hong Nan with no choice but to behave himself. "Right away," he said.

Soon, Hong Nan returned, handing a Citibank cheque for twenty million Hong Kong dollars to Shen Dong.

Shen Dong showed no modesty whatsoever, tucked the cheque away, and said, "Brother Nan, I've noticed that you and the brothers outside seem to be quite fond of playing with guns?"

Hong Nan frowned and asked, "What are you trying to say?"

Shen Dong smiled slightly, flipped his palm, and a grenade appeared in his hand.

"Crap."

Startled, Hong Nan hastily stepped in front of Hong Wen and demanded, "What are you doing?"

Faced with danger, Hong Nan was still thinking of protecting Hong Wen; this display of fraternal loyalty made Shen Dong nod inwardly.

Ah Gui and the others outside heard the commotion and immediately rushed in.

Following right behind them were Feng Yuxiu, Tian Yangsheng, and Li Jie.

Everyone was holding guns in their hands.

Upon seeing the grenade in Shen Dong's hand, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

Shen Dong said, "Don't be nervous. I have no intention of starting a fight. I just wanted to tell Brother Nan that handguns are far too weak and pointless; this is the age of grenades, submachine guns, bazookas, and bombs. If your Tai Sheng Company needs any, you can come to me. Aside from the prices being a bit high, the quantity and quality will be absolutely flawless."

Hong Nan shouted belligerently, "Are you fucking trying to scare me?"

Shen Dong smiled faintly and said, "My main goal was to prove to everyone here that I am not only capable of beating people with my fists and slashing them with knives, but I can also assemble a small private army of two hundred men to wipe out all enemies. Therefore, Brother Wen's willingness to make friends with me rather than become an enemy is unquestionably the right choice."

Having said that, Shen Dong placed the grenade on the table, nodded to Hong Wen, and strode out with Ah Jie and the other two.

Hong Nan swallowed hard, picked up the grenade from the table, and cursed angrily, "This Yama Shen is simply a lunatic."

Hong Wen asked, "Ah Nan, is this grenade real or fake?"

After inspecting it for a moment, Hong Nan replied, "It's real."

Hong Wen's expression instantly turned grave as he said, "He is warning us. Ah Nan, pass my word down: from now on, do not provoke Shen Dong. This person is far too dangerous. We have no conflict of interest with him, so there is no need to make an enemy of him."

Though Hong Nan looked tough on the outside, he was actually terrified on the inside, and hastily replied, "Understood, Big Brother."

...

Having dealt with the Hong Tai brothers Hong Wen and Hong Nan, Shen Dong returned to his villa.

"Darling, are you alright?"

Li Xinxi and Qiu Ti immediately hurried forward to ask.

Although Shen Dong didn't let them meddle in underworld affairs, the two women were far from completely oblivious.

Last night, the two of them had spent the entire night in anxious worry.

Seeing Shen Dong return safe and sound, they finally let out sighs of relief.

Shen Dong pulled one into each arm and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, the person who can hurt me hasn't even been born yet, let alone the one who could kill me."

Qiu Ti asked curiously, "Darling, I heard the fighting in Tsim Sha Tsui was fierce, with casualties reaching the thousands, and the hospital morgues are completely full. Is that true or false?"

Shen Dong replied, "It's true. In a clash involving over twenty thousand people, deaths are to be expected. At the time, I was in Mong Kok helping Thirteen Sister guard Po Lan Street, so I only heard about the specific details rather than seeing them firsthand. Anyway, enough of that—both of you have eyes like pandas, go wash up and get some proper sleep."

Li Xinxi asked, "And you?"

Shen Dong said, "I need to go to the hospital to check on the wounded brothers."

Li Xinxi sighed and said, "They always talk about how glamorous triad bosses are. From you, I really haven't seen any of it."

Shen Dong smiled, saying, "A boss with zero sense of responsibility who only likes to throw his weight around is certainly glamorous. But I can't do that; I need to be responsible for the livelihoods of thousands of brothers. They risk their lives following me, so I can't let them fail to even feed themselves and their families. Alright, go on and sleep."

Retrieving thirty million Hong Kong dollars from the safe, Shen Dong took his men and headed to Tsuen Wan Hospital.

All the brothers who had been injured the previous night had been arranged to stay here by Ah Wah.

"Brother Dong."

Stepping into a large ward, the subordinates lying on the hospital beds struggled to get up when they saw Shen Dong and the others.

Shen Dong quickly said, "Stay lying down, all of you. I'm here to visit you, not to worsen your injuries."

Everyone chimed in together, "Thank you, Brother Dong."

Shen Dong said, "I know that saying anything at a time like this is meaningless, because no amount of praise can match your loyalty and dedication to me, so I'll just give you all something practical."

With that, he glanced at Ah Wah.

Ah Wah understood immediately and said, "Brothers, Brother Dong has said that all your medical and nutritional expenses will be covered by him until your injuries are fully healed. In addition, each of you will receive a bonus of thirty thousand Hong Kong dollars."

"Whoa!"

"Thirty thousand? That's way too much."

"Brother Dong is truly generous."

"Long live Brother Dong!"

Cheers erupted inside the ward.

The dozen or so injured subordinates were immensely excited.

Thirty thousand dollars was undoubtedly a huge sum of money to them.

Once they recovered from their injuries, it would be enough for them to live in style for quite a while.
