Three days after Gao Yue Film and Television was burned down.
In a private mountain villa on the outskirts of Shenzhen.
Guo Yue, who had been laundering assets in the capital, arrived in Shenzhen on time for the meeting.
Arranged by Chen Guoyao, a group of people met secretly in a villa within the mountain resort.
After some pleasantries, they began to inquire about each other's recent situations.
The news that Gao Yue Film and Television was burned down by Bailiansheng, and the old houses of Chen Dawei and Xiong Hai in Xigong were also razed to the ground by Yihe and Yiqun.
They had all received the news that same night.
Fortunately, before confronting the three gangs, Xu Yuejin had arranged for the families of Chen Dawei and Xiong Hai to be relocated through Guo Yue's connections.
Otherwise, the fire that night could have wiped out entire families.
Because Gao Fei had ordered them not to act rashly.
After the three gangs burned down the company and the two old houses, they could only report the crime remotely.
As for the compensation for the destruction of Chen Dawei and Xiong Hai's old houses, Gao Fei had already transferred the money the next day.
After roughly discussing their recent situations, Xu Yuejin took a deep puff of his cigarette and suddenly asked, "Boss, you came to Shenzhen without prior notice. Is there something you need to attend to?"
As he spoke, Chen Guoyao, Chen Dawei, and Xiong Hai all looked on with curiosity.
Guo Yue leaned back on the sofa, exhaled a puff of cigar smoke, and said with a smile, "Indeed, there is. Besides arranging for A'Yao to escape and laundering assets, I'm mainly here to meet the Big Boss."
Big Boss!
Upon hearing these three words, Xu Yuejin, Chen Guoyao, Chen Dawei, and Xiong Hai all involuntarily straightened up.
"Boss, when will the Big Boss arrive? Do you need me to arrange transportation, venues, or anything else?"
Chen Guoyao, who had never met the Big Boss before, was the most excited. Before anyone else could speak, he immediately volunteered.
However, Xu Yuejin, sitting beside him, narrowed his eyes slightly.
He suspected that there must be something else behind the Big Boss's sudden desire to meet General Manager Guo upon his return from Hong Kong.
And it was likely something major.
As for Chen Dawei and Xiong Hai, they were also excited, but their current status was not yet sufficient for such a meeting, so they could only sit on the side and smile.
Guo Yue took in the expressions on their faces.
He cast a meaningful glance at Xu Yuejin, who was deep in thought, and then began discussing asset and laundering matters with Chen Guoyao.
Just as everyone was chatting, Guo Yue's phone suddenly vibrated.
He glanced at the message and said directly, "The boss will be at the mountain resort in half an hour. A'Yao, make the arrangements. Apart from the dignitaries, no one should be allowed near this villa."
"Understood, Boss!"
Chen Guoyao immediately got up to carry out the instructions.
As Guo Yue's confidants, they were well aware that the Big Boss strongly disliked meeting people from the underworld.
Half an hour later.
A flagship sedan with Hong Kong plates drove into the mountain resort.
Upon arriving at the villa entrance, Qin Yu first scanned the surroundings, confirmed it was safe, and then allowed Gao Fei to get out of the car.
After he entered the villa, the driver and bodyguard, Brother Yu, stood alone at the villa entrance.
"Boss!"
"Big Boss!"
Gao Fei entered the house.
Guo Yue, Xu Yuejin, Chen Guoyao, Chen Dawei, and Xiong Hai all rose to greet him respectfully.
"Please, sit down. Don't be so formal!"
Gao Fei waved his hand at them and casually found a sofa to sit on.
However, the five of them were quite perceptive and all sat to the left and right, treating the casual seat as the main seat.
This was Gao Fei's first time meeting Chen Guoyao, Chen Dawei, and Xiong Hai.
Before meeting them, he had learned about their backgrounds from Guo Yue.
After sizing them up, Gao Fei did not get straight to the point or explain his intentions. Instead, he engaged in casual conversation with the five of them.
Although it seemed casual, the other four, except for Guo Yue, felt immense pressure.
After all, the difference in their statuses was evident!
After a few minutes.
Guo Yue, who had been Gao Fei's first driver, noticed that Gao Fei's interest in chatting was waning and immediately found an excuse to arrange for the other four to leave temporarily.
"A'Jin, you stay behind!"
Gao Fei called out to the four who were about to leave.
Chen Guoyao gave a thumbs-up to Xu Yuejin, who had been called to stay, and then led Dawei and Xiongxiong out of the villa.
After they left, Gao Fei turned to Guo Yue and Xu Yuejin with a stern expression and asked, "There's only one matter today. If you were to deal with those gangs in Hong Kong, what percentage of confidence would you have in eliminating them within five years?"
Upon hearing this, the two froze on the sofa, utterly shocked.
In fact, Guo Yue had a slight premonition when he spoke with Gao Fei earlier. Complete asset laundering would undoubtedly involve the Hong Kong gangs.
But he had never expected that the boss would be so ambitious as to aim to eliminate all the gangs within five years.
Not only Guo Yue, but even Xu Yuejin, who had also anticipated something, felt his heart churn like a stormy sea.
Before the Big Boss arrived, he had guessed that it would involve the Hong Kong gangs.
And when it was just him and General Manager Guo left, his suspicions were confirmed.
But now, hearing about eliminating all the gangs within five years.
This statement sounded like a fantasy to him.
Seeing their expressions shift from shock to dismay, Gao Fei let out a calm, dry laugh, "So little confidence?"
Guo Yue didn't know whether to nod or shake his head. He said with a wry smile, "Boss, I've heard A'Jin mention the situation with the Hong Kong gangs. Although I'm not very familiar with it, to take them down within five years is indeed wishful thinking."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yuejin chimed in, "Big Boss, putting aside the larger picture, let's talk about the three gangs currently targeting our company: Bailiansheng, Yihe, and Yiqun.
Bailiansheng is the largest among the three, managing five streets with nearly two thousand members, and that's just on the surface.
Yiqun manages three streets and has around a thousand members.
And the seemingly insignificant Yihe, although smaller in membership and territory, is a junior gang formed by the son of the leader of a major gang."
Xu Yuejin took a deep breath and continued with a bitter expression, "These three gangs alone, if they were to come to the mainland, would be sent back without returning. But if we were to barge into Hong Kong and confront them head-on, not only would we have no chance of winning, but everyone would likely be left there."
Looking at their crestfallen faces, Gao Fei couldn't help but tease, "A'Jin, I recall when you first arrived in Hong Kong, you had aspirations of clashing with the Hong Kong gangs and planting your flag there. Have you changed your mind so quickly?"
"Boss, aspirations are one thing, but one must also accept reality."
Xu Yuejin gave a helpless, wry smile.
When he first arrived in Hong Kong and learned about the local gang situation, he had indeed abandoned the idea of planting his flag there.
Even a single gang had a membership of thousands. If a fight were to break out, their group would not even be enough to fill their teeth.
Guo Yue, sitting by the side, remained silent.
After learning about the situation of the Hong Kong gangs from Xu Yuejin, he had one assessment: entering that territory was as difficult as climbing to heaven.
"If I were to be your backing, what do you think your chances of success would be?"
Gao Fei tapped his knee with his fingers, his smile receding, and asked seriously.
Guo Yue and Xu Yuejin exchanged glances, bowed their heads in thought, and then both simultaneously raised their left hands, extending five fingers.
"Fifty percent chance of success!"
"Oh, I didn't expect you to think so highly of me, giving me a fifty percent chance of success just by adding me."
"It's mainly because, Boss, your methods for dealing with Yu Min back then are still fresh in my mind. Truly, besides admiring Brother Er and the others, I only admire you, Boss, now."
Every time Guo Yue recalled how the boss dealt with Yu Min, he felt a chill down his spine.
Xu Yuejin nodded in agreement. The reason he feared the boss was precisely because of the flawless methods he employed when dealing with Yu Min, calculating every step with absolute precision.
Unlike Guo Yue, he didn't flatter Gao Fei but pondered and asked, "Boss, since you want us to deal with the Hong Kong gangs, is this with the tacit approval of those above?"
Xu Yuejin pointed upwards with his finger, his meaning clear: the authorities.
Gao Fei did not hide anything and directly admitted, nodding.
With the authorities behind them, Guo Yue couldn't help but feel a sense of relief, "With the authorities as our foundation, our chances of winning are even greater.
However, Boss, the Hong Kong gangs are currently closely watching the mainland. If we were to openly enter Hong Kong, it would be easy to attract attention."
"Don't worry, Hong Kong will be in chaos soon!"
Hearing Gao Fei calmly utter the word "chaos" further boosted their confidence.
"Boss, now that you intend to dabble in Hong Kong and eliminate those gangs, from which aspect do you plan to start?"
Guo Yue once again asked the question that was on his mind.
Based on his understanding of the boss, he would absolutely not get involved in underworld disputes.
Therefore, he needed to hear the boss's objectives first before making arrangements.
However, this time, Gao Fei did not specify from which aspect he would start. Instead, he instructed, "Once Hong Kong descends into chaos, and you can establish a foothold amidst this chaos, I will arrange the next phase of the plan."
With that, he turned to Guo Yue and asked, "How many people do you have in your security company currently?"
"Excluding the idle personnel, there are a total of four hundred and sixty people."
"What's their strength like?"
"Against street punks, they can handle one against four or five without any problems."
Gao Fei nodded and pondered before instructing, "Once the chaos erupts in Hong Kong, your security company will be the first to enter.
The primary target is Bailiansheng. I expect them to disappear from Hong Kong's territory by the end of the month.
I don't care about the process, only the result."
Upon receiving the order, Guo Yue and Xu Yuejin were instantly under immense pressure.
Bailiansheng, with over two thousand members, and their four hundred-plus men going up against two thousand – wasn't that like an egg hitting a rock?
But the next moment, Gao Fei's words instantly clarified their doubts.
"Remember, you are a force from the mainland, not a local Hong Kong gang. You do things the way you do them in the mainland when you go to Hong Kong.
Morality? Everyone in this business is after money. Morality, your mother! You're not one of our own!"
With this simple statement, Guo Yue and Xu Yuejin had an epiphany.
Just as Gao Fei was in Shenzhen, arranging for his men on how to enter Hong Kong and whom to deal with.
That very evening.
An Hebin, one of the candidates, was exposed for alleged bribery, with evidence falling into the hands of the major gang Xin Yi.
As soon as the news broke, related photos began circulating online.
Upon seeing the photos, An Hebin immediately called Qiao Tan, another candidate with ties to Xin Yi.
As soon as the call was connected, An Hebin, without any preamble, said one sentence.
"Qiao, you dare to frame me? Fine, let's fight. I'll be the first to kill you!"
Half an hour after this call ended, Xin Yi and Hesheng He directly engaged in a battle.
The first wave of fighting in the suburbs resulted in countless casualties on both sides.
...
Guobin Hotel.
Zhang Ziheng received the news and couldn't help but turn to look at Gao Fei, who had just returned from Shenzhen.
"The photos of An Hebin's transaction, did you find them?"
