Six hundred and twentieth chapters help each other in adversity
Su Xinyu was very thoughtful in his work. He had checked Hao Zhanqiang's information and sent it to Ling Cang's mobile phone immediately.
The backbone of today's Ge Lao Hui are all Bashu disciples who moved to Southeast Asia. The leader belongs to Brother Qing Shui Pao. There are many Brother Muddy Water Pao in the middle level. It is conceivable that the number of these people will not be very large. Therefore, Ge Lao Hui is developing. In the process, a large number of members of other ethnic groups were absorbed. The composition is quite complex. They include Malay Chinese, Malay indigenous people, and even Indians. Only Malay Chinese are also divided into Babas and Xinke.
Hao Zhanqiang is neither a Baba nor a Xinke, nor is he a descendant of early members of the Ge Lao Hui. He is an authentic Chinese. He participated in the Foreign Border Counterattack when he was young. Later he immigrated to Malay and started a hardware wholesale business.
The biggest gangsters in Malay are the Hongmen factions. The second is Hua Kee, and the third is Ge Lao Hui. Speaking of which, these three are all established by Chinese. They are inextricably related to each other. However, they are not related. There has been constant fighting over the years.
Hao Zhanqiang's business was bullied by Hongmen and Huaji in turn. In anger, he took refuge in Ge Lao Hui Yi Zi Tang. Speaking of which, he became a monk halfway. However, he was very old-school and regarded tradition as very important. And he was very capable. He was promoted and finally became the head of the hall. Under his leadership, Yizitang prospered day by day. Although the scale was never very large, its overall strength was comparable to that of Lizitang.
Unfortunately, the overall situation of the Ge Laohui was decided at that time. Ding Shibo established the status of the Ding family and Lizitang. Many people believe that if Hao Zhanqiang had been born twenty years earlier, he would have been able to compete with Ding Shibo.
Following the clues provided by Su Xinyu, Ling Cang went directly to a high-end residential area on the outskirts of the city. Hao Zhanqiang planned to live in China for a while, so he rented a house here.
Compared with other high-end communities, entry and exit here is relatively casual. However, it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. There are security guards patrolling everywhere.
Arriving at the door of Hao Zhanqiang's house, Ling Cang pressed the doorbell. The intercom on the door immediately rang: "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Mr. Hao Zhanqiang."
Soon, a strong man opened the door: "What do you want?"
"I'm Ling Cang. I want to talk to Mr. Hao."
"I'm sorry. Mr. Hao doesn't see guests."
"I have something. Please show it to Mr. Hao." Ling Cang took out a medal and handed it to the strong man: "Please."
"Okay." The strong man nodded expressionlessly. He turned around and went in. After a while, he came out and told Ling Cang: "Mr. Hao agreed to see you."
Hao Zhanqiang was sitting on the sofa, looking at the medal carefully. When he saw Ling Cang, he immediately picked up the medal and shook it. He asked, "This is yours."
"It's not mine." Ling Cang shook his head: "It belongs to my girlfriend's father."
"Sit down." Hao Zhanqiang pointed to the sofa. Then he told the strong man: "Go and make two cups of tea."
Ling Cang sat across from him politely. He smiled and said, "I'm glad Mr. Hao is willing to see me."
"Your girlfriend's father... let's say 'father-in-law'. Which army does this old boy belong to?"
"An artillery regiment of the 38th Army."
"So we are comrades in arms." Hao Zhanqiang has a cold face and is not angry. He has a tall aquiline nose and a pair of shining eyes. Judging from his appearance, he should not smile much on weekdays. He is a person who is not easy to deal with. But at this time he was very excited. He kept patting his thigh: "I am also from the 38th Army. I am the Army Reconnaissance Brigade."
"Yeah."
"It's been thirty years..." Hao Zhanqiang returned the medal to Ling Cang. He let out a long sigh and fell into recollection of the past: "Back then, the main force of the 38th Army was not able to fight those little monkeys. In the early stage of the counterattack, only artillery was sent. Your father-in-law should have been on the front line at that time. We adhere to the artillery doctrine. No matter what happens, we will just hit them with artillery shells. However, they are enjoying themselves on the front line. I am here The military department is extremely anxious..."
"So you have never fought together."
"Yeah." Hao Zhanqiang nodded: "Later, the early counterattack ended. Our army basically returned to the territory. Next came the battle between the two mountains. That is to say, there was a constant tug of war at the border. The superiors withdrew the artillery and sent the reconnaissance brigade to participate in the rotation. This is how I got the chance to show off my skills. Put it this way, your father-in-law and I should be in front of each other. He just left the battlefield and I left."
"Reconnaissance Brigade... So you are a special forces soldier."
"Of course." Hao Zhanqiang said. He rolled up his sleeves and put on a menacing posture, as if there were a few little monkeys in front of him who needed to be taught a lesson. Although he was quite old, he still had a good figure. The muscles on his arms looked good. It is very strong: "You kids, you don't understand that period of history at all. That war was very painful. The Japanese have experience in fighting the M people. They have made the fortifications very strong. Almost all of them are semi-underground. First build the frame, then build it." A layer of steel plate. There is a horizontal layer on top, a vertical layer, and another horizontal layer. There are three rows of logs as thick as a bowl. The kind of wood in the south is very hard. It is not damaged by fire or soaked in water. It is useless to use fire. Then Spread corrugated steel plates on top. Cover with a layer of red soil three meters thick. Finally, put on several layers of sandbags. Use branches and nets as camouflage. Such fortifications are difficult to discover. Once discovered, it is difficult to take down... "
Hao Zhanqiang kept telling the story of that year. He stopped after more than half an hour. Ling Cang listened patiently. Finally he nodded: "Mr. Hao is a hero."
"I'm not a hero. But I have fought with heroes." Hao Zhanqiang said here. He sighed longly: "After being demobilized from the army, I went to Southeast Asia and never came back. This time I returned to China. I plan to take care of the matter and then go clean the Martyrs Cemetery..."
"Mr. Hao, do you think the current matter can be handled?"
"What can't be handled well?"
"You publicly contradicted Ding Maozhong. I thought Ding Maozhong would let it go."
"How do you know Ding Maozhong? By the way..." Hao Zhanqiang's thoughts were all occupied by the past. It was only then that he remembered a crucial question: "Who are you? With such a medal, you can't come here because you want to." Sell it to me."
"Of course not." Ling Cang almost laughed. He thought this old guy was really interesting: "I took the medal as a stepping stone. I want to talk to Mr. Hao about something."
"What's the matter?" Hao Zhanqiang looked at Ling Cang warily. Two strong men appeared out of nowhere and stood beside Ling Cang silently.
Ling Cang made the Hongmen gesture and said slowly: "Hong Ming Gang boss Ling Cang."
"It turns out to be Brother Pao." Hao Zhanqiang smiled coldly: "What are you doing here?"
"Let's talk peace."
"How to talk."
"We all go to the Brotherhood together. There is no reason to kill each other."
Just at this time, the previous subordinate brought two cups of tea. Hao Zhanqiang immediately waved his hand: "Change it into a tea set. I want the best set."
The tea set was quickly prepared. Hao Zhanqiang placed the teapot and a teacup in the sea of tea, and put the other teacup in the sea of tea. Then he made a gesture of invitation: "There is a universe in Muyang City. All loyalty depends on a little bit of water."
This was to test whether he was from the same sect as the Kiba Formation. Ling Cang had learned the Tea Cup Formation from Hong Yi. He immediately placed the cup of tea outside the tea sea into the sea of tea. Then, Ling Cang raised the cup of tea again and offered a toast. Hao Zhanqiang said: "My sworn brother is here for questioning today. Don't treat your sworn brother as an outsider."
Hao Zhanqiang nodded slightly: "It is indeed my brother."
"It turns out that Mr. Hao... no, it should be said that Hall Master Hao doesn't trust me." Ling Cang smiled slightly and said, "Do you want to continue to set up the formation?"
Hao Zhanqiang nodded slightly: "You come."
"Okay." Ling Cang placed four tea bowls in a rectangular shape on the sea of tea, and then placed another tea bowl on the sea of tea.
Hao Zhanqiang placed the tea bowl outside in the middle of the rectangle and made another invitation gesture. Then he picked up the tea bowl again and drank it all in one gulp: "I don't know if we can cooperate."
This is a support formation in times of need, which means asking for mutual help. Ling Cang immediately replied: "The Ge Lao Association has reached a critical moment. Yizitang and the Hongming Gang should support each other."
"How critical."
"First of all, Hall Master Hao, what do you think the Ding family will do in the future?"
Hao Zhanqiang shook his head without hesitation: "Not good."
"Secondly, Hall Master Hao, do you think Ding Maozhong did the right thing in starting a war against the Hong Ming Gang this time?"
"No." Hao Zhanqiang shook his head again: "The Hong Ming Gang... no, I should say Zhi Zi Tang. They are from the same sect as several other gangs. There is absolutely no reason to kill each other. Among all the gangs derived from Hongmen, Ge Laohui The most glorious. The longest history. It relies on unity."
"Hall Master Hao is indeed a reasonable person."
"In Malay, the biggest gangs are in various hills of Hongmen. There are 3821, Five-Colored Flag, Hongshun Hall, Dragon and Tiger Hall... there are dozens of them. Even the natives and Indians are using the banner of Hongmen. What kind of Malay 08 was established, and the Indian people were united. However, the various hills were hostile to each other. They were not as united as Huaji. As a result, Huaji was suppressed everywhere." Hao Zhanqiang said this and snorted heavily: "Ding Maozhong Doing this will only make Ge Laohui like Hongmen."
"So Ding Maozhong must step down."
"You can do it."
"To be honest with Hall Master Hao, I was the one who bought Xinyi."
"Oh." When Hao Zhanqiang learned about Ling Cang's identity, he already had speculations about this: "Then why are you here this time? Could it be related to Xinyi?"
"The acquisition has reached a stalemate. Whenever we buy, Ding Maozhong sells, pushing down the stock price. The offshore financial market in Southeast Asia has domestic stock futures. He sells short there at the same time and makes a profit; but if we take the initiative He pushed the stock price down. He bought back the stock..."
"What." Hao Zhanqiang was surprised: "He sells Xinyi's stocks."
