Tung Sing never offers much explanation, especially to these small fry who want a piece of the pie before they've even shown their faces.
That evening, Xu Lang returned to the villa on the mountain.
Li Xinxin had just finished filming an advertisement and came to dinner with her assistant. They didn't talk about anything important at the dinner table, just chatting about trivial gossip in the entertainment industry.
Xu Lang sat on the balcony, not listening very attentively, only nodding occasionally.
He knew that now was the time to catch his breath, but only temporarily.
This calm won't last long.
The Tojo-yama branch won't give up so quickly; those old foxes are planning their next move, and the international cargo distribution line behind the Yamaguchi-gumi will inevitably extend into their territory sooner or later.
but it does not matter.
As long as Dongxing is still sitting on this mountaintop.
No one can take this meal away from us.
At five o'clock in the morning, before dawn, the Tung Sing gang parked several black vans outside a logistics site in Lai Chi Kok. There seemed to be no one around, but in fact, they had already arranged for men to lie in ambush.
Today is the "Cleanup Day" that Xu Lang assigned.
This land was previously managed by "Shuntong Logistics," which operated under the Dongxing flag. In reality, they had been secretly trading with multiple gray channels over the years, using the guise of "transit" to smuggle a lot of grey goods from other places into Hong Kong Island.
The most crucial batch of accounts—discovered three days ago—contained a shipment of goods that had been transferred from the Sankou Group.
Xu Lang (Li Zhao's) had known about this for a long time, but he didn't do anything because he wanted to extend the investigation further and see who Shun Tong was secretly having an affair with.
Now that the evidence is in place, it's time to close the net.
Lei Yaoyang led the team, which was divided into three groups, and blocked the front gate, back gate, and rooftop stairwell.
Ah Ji was also there this time. He was in charge of checking people. The first place to lock was the accounting office, and the second was the warehouse.
At 5:35 a.m., the people at Shuntong were still having late-night tea to wrap things up, and few realized that today would be a turning point.
Chapter 561 Lei Yaoyang Emerges from the Mountain
By the time they realized what was happening, the entire area had been sealed off by Dongxing's assault team. The warehouse's roller shutter door had been forcibly opened, and the dummy bottoms of the two trucks had been pried off on the spot. Inside, boxes that were originally labeled "daily necessities" were filled with undeclared electronic equipment.
When the judge received the photos for on-site verification, he only said one sentence.
"Keep all accounts in the books!"
Immediately afterwards, orders were issued to freeze the assets of three nominal subsidiaries under Shuntong and to reclaim all assets under their names.
The whole thing went unnoticed by outsiders, but the Hong Kong underworld quickly found out—Shun Tung Logistics was gone, and the people behind it would never show their faces again.
At noon, Xu Lang sat in the headquarters' conference room, looking at the data summary report, his eyes calm.
Wang Jianjun was sitting opposite him; he had just come from Yuen Long and brought a new list.
“Brother Lang, these past two days an organization called ‘Runbang Chamber of Commerce 570’ has started operating in Central and Sai Wan. They’ve acquired several medium-sized factories, claiming to be doing import and export business, but after checking their background, it turns out to be an old shell of ‘Lancang Group’!”
"Blue Warehouse went bankrupt and was liquidated three years ago. At that time, it was found that it had dealings with the Yamaguchi-gumi. This time, it has returned under a different name, and its purpose is very clear!"
Xu Lang didn't look at it much, but simply tossed the list to Hong Wentong.
As soon as Hong Wentong opened the book, he saw several familiar names.
"Aren't these the same people from Kowloon Harbour? They've changed their names and want to come back to test the waters!"
"He's incorrigible!"
Xu Lang took a sip of water and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
"This group of people isn't interested in doing business; they want to re-explore the market!"
"If they manage to get the factory up and running this time, the next step will be to order goods, process orders, and then start laundering the money, just like before!"
The judge nodded.
"Our people have already started to pressure prices on the outside. If we can't keep the rent for those factory buildings down, the Chamber of Commerce won't last long!"
Xu Lang waved his hand.
No haggling this time!
"If they dare to enter the factory, we'll make sure they never leave!"
"Don't give them any more chances to make mistakes!"
Upon receiving the order, Wang Jianjun immediately arranged for Hu Dami to transfer personnel to prepare for the perimeter operation.
Meanwhile, the Tojoyama branch was also busy.
Cai Dafa has been frequently appearing in Wan Chai recently, contacting multiple construction contractors under the guise of a "real estate investor." He has even begun to get involved in the renovation project of a small commercial street (BFEA). On the surface, he is doing legal development, but several industry insiders know that what he really wants is to control that future "transaction channel."
That area was originally the site of the "Jinhua Restaurant" under the name of Dongxing, but it was demolished due to policy reasons and remained untouched for several years.
As soon as Tojo's men made a move, Xu Lang immediately received intelligence.
Situ Haonan made a special trip back to find Cai Dafa, without beating around the bush.
"You want to open a street-front shop? Fine, but find another location!"
"We're not making any moves in Wan Chai because Brother Lang is too busy, not because he lacks the authority!"
Cai Dafa remained silent at the time, pretending to be deaf and dumb, saying that it was all a business operation and he didn't know who owned whose land.
Situ Haonan didn't say it a second time, he just left out one sentence.
"If you do this once, we'll make you pay three times over!"
That afternoon, a mechanical accident occurred at the construction site of the renovated street in Wan Chai. A crane boom overturned and crashed into a construction materials warehouse. Although no one was injured, the entire project was brought to a standstill.
The next day, the construction team withdrew on their own, saying that the costs were too high and they planned to change the location.
On the third day, the rental advertisement on that plot of land was changed to "Project under Donghui Property".
The situation is changing, and although there's not much talk about it, every move is perfectly timed.
Chapter 562 Wang Jianjun's Movement Line
These matters were handled cleanly and efficiently. Xu Lang did not personally intervene, but he saw and heard about every single one of them.
He knew these people were testing him, becoming more cautious each time, but also increasingly impatient.
Especially the Tojoyama branch, after several failures, although they stopped, they continued to secretly connect with small gangs behind the scenes. Recently, some people have even been holding private gatherings in the Bay Area under the banner of the "Hong Kong Island Old-Age Triad Alliance".
He Xigui has already planted a wire.
On the surface, that group claimed to be "exchanging experiences," but in reality, they were laying the groundwork for Tojo to establish a unified port-island community.
Xu Lang didn't rush to dismantle it.
Since this group of people are willing to step forward, let them get together.
It's easier to catch as many as possible at once.
A few days later, a private gathering entitled “Hong Kong Island Community Cooperation Forum” was held in the multi-functional hall of a hotel in Kowloon Bay.
It appeared to be a joint initiative by several little-known small groups, but the event was arranged in a very professional manner, with a host, a backdrop with banners, and more than forty people seated.
He Xigui, dressed in a simple suit, sat down in the corner, his eyes scanning the entire room to make sure all the targets had arrived.
This includes Cai Dafa's men, Long Fei's men, and those former gang leaders who had been squeezed out.
He picked up the phone and sent Lei Yaoyang a text message:
"Everyone's here, let's treat Brother Lang to a drink!"
That night, Tung Sing did not send anyone in or interrupt the gathering, but instead gave the group a full two hours.
But when they were about to leave the hotel, the street in front of the hotel was already full of several vans and minivans.
Tiger Dami led his group out slowly from the alley across the street, without saying a word, just watching the group get off the car one by one and stand at the door.
No one made a move.
No one spoke up.
But everyone understood that this was the last chance.
If we reunite, Dongxing won't be scary; Dongxing will be touching.
After that night.
The "Cooperation Forum" was never held a second time.
The triads on Hong Kong Island finally quieted down for a while.
But Xu Lang knew that this calm would not last long.
The more composed a person is, the more likely they are to seize the right opportunity to strike decisively.
What he's waiting for now is the next real showdown.
He won't provoke anything, but if anyone dares to truly shake one of his foundations, the consequences will be far beyond what the few people in the underworld can bear.

A few days later, Tung Sing's abandoned warehouse by the sea in the Bay Area was set on fire.
That warehouse has long been out of use and there is no stock inside. It is just a relic under the name of Tung Sing, and it was an old facility used for temporary storage of import and export goods.
The burning of this place may not have caused any substantial damage to outsiders, but it has significant implications.
The message reached headquarters at six in the morning, before dawn.
............ 0
The judge was the first to receive the news. By the time he arrived at the scene, the fire had already been extinguished, but the warehouse was charred black inside and out.
The fire department said it was caused by aging electrical wiring, but he could tell at a glance that it was caused by human intervention.
The back door lock had been pried open, there were gasoline traces on the ground, and even the wind direction had been calculated. The fire burned "smartly," avoiding blind spots in the surveillance cameras.
When Hong Wentong arrived, he didn't say anything, but squatted down and swept away the tire tracks on the ground.
"It's not a local car!"
"From outside!"
"It wasn't done by some small gang!"
The judge nodded.
