In the colorful old Shanghai that was intertwined with complicated lines, in addition to the nightclubs that were famous throughout the country, there was also the underworld organization that had great influence in the country at that time, the Green Gang. Before the Liberation of Shanghai, no matter if it was the chief of the Shi family or the director of the bureau, they had to pay their respects to the old man of the Qing Gang before they took office. If you dare to refuse, you will be chased out of Shanghai in a week or a few months. Even the high-ranking officials, nobles, warlords, and dignitaries would have to lower their heads when they saw Huang Jinrong, the head of the Shanghai Green Gang. Jiang Jie was still powerful, but he had to acknowledge Huang Jinrong as his master after arriving in Shanghai. After becoming the "chairman", he still went to Shanghai as usual to pay his respects to Huang Jinrong, which showed how powerful the Qing Gang was.
However, the person who had reached the peak of power in Shanghai society was not Huang Jinrong, but Du Yuesheng. The various clues that formed the network of Du Yuesheng's growing power gathered in his private organization, Heng Society, which was established in November 1932.
Heng Society was an organization of upper-class people. The doors of its members were not open to all of Du Yuesheng's disciples. It was only limited to people with social status. It was said that Lu Jingshi, an important figure of the Heng Society, emphasized the nature of the Heng Society as Du Yuesheng's private organization in his speech at the Heng Society's third anniversary meeting. He said that the Heng Society only had one leader and one center, and that was Du Yuesheng. All members of the Heng Society had to do their best for Mr. Du. By the mid-1930s, Du Yuesheng's Heng Society had become the most powerful private organization in the Shanghai Green Gang because of its connections with the Shanghai capitalists, the politicians of the National Party, and government officials. It was precisely because of this powerful private organization that Du Yuesheng reached the peak of the underworld during this period in old Shanghai.
After the establishment of the new dynasty, with the strengthening of the country's anti-mafia efforts, the Green Gang in Shanghai gradually disbanded and finally disappeared. However, as Du Yuesheng's private organization, Heng Society was able to survive. It continued the purpose of its establishment and continued to develop under the name of the Green Gang until now. The difference was that this gang gradually turned from the ground to the underground.
In the 1990s, the current leader of the Shanghai Green Gang was called Gao Yongnian. After nearly 20 years of development in Gao Yongnian's hands, the Shanghai Green Gang had formed a huge enterprise group-Gao's Enterprise Group. The entire group's business extended to various fields such as finance, real estate, shipping ports, commodity retail, etc. The assets under direct management amounted to billions, and the assets under indirect management amounted to tens of billions. Gao's Group controlled a listed company in both Shanghai and Shanghai. There was a saying in Shanghai's financial world that if Gao Corporation caught a cold, then Shanghai's economy would sneeze, which showed its financial status in Shanghai.
In the 1930s, Du Yuesheng had created the peak of the Shanghai Green Gang's underworld power. After more than 60 years, in the 1990s, Gao Yongnian had created the peak of the white economy. Although the Shanghai Green Gang's underworld economy was no longer their main source of income, they still sold drugs in the entertainment venues under their jurisdiction. In addition, they sold firearms to some Southeast Asian countries.
Gao Yongnian, who was over sixty years old, had three sons: the eldest Gao Shixiong, the second Gao Shifeng, and the third Gao Shiyang. The eldest was in charge of the Qing Gang's underworld business, the second Gao Shiyang was mainly assisting Gao Yongnian in handling the internal affairs of the Gao Group, and the third Gao Shiyang was a typical rich playboy who was good at eating, drinking, and gambling. He did not inherit the Gao family's excellent bloodline at all.
The one who teased Fire Phoenix at the Bund tonight was the third young master of the Gao family, Gao Shiyang, and the second young master of the Gao family, Gao Shifeng, was next to Gao Shiyang. Today, Gao's Enterprise was holding a cocktail party at the rich nightclub on the Bund. After Gao Shiyang was injured, he wanted to go back to the nightclub to find his boss, Gao Shixiong, but he bumped into Gao Shifeng at the door. After telling Gao Shifeng about the situation, there was inevitably a lot of embellishment. Gao Shifeng was also interested in these two people. After all, he had never heard of anyone who provoked the Qing Gang in Shanghai for so many years, especially the third son of the Qing Gang. Therefore, he brought more than 20 bodyguards and walked toward Xiao Tian.
In fact, while Xiao Tian was sizing up Gao Shifeng, Gao Shifeng was also observing Xiao Tian and Fire Phoenix. The man standing between the two was not handsome, but he had a kind of rigid beauty. His eyes were as calm as the vast sea, as if nothing could cause them to ripple, but if they moved, they would definitely be a magnificent tsunami. Gao Shifeng, who had been in the business world for many years, had long developed a calm and tactful personality. This calm personality made him stand out in the Gao Corporation. However, when he looked at the man in front of him today, he suddenly felt that this person seemed to be very close to him, but also seemed to be very far away. He gave off an unfathomable feeling, making people not dare to underestimate him. However, what Gao Shifeng couldn't see through the most was the age of the man in front of him. He seemed very young, but his unusually steady expression and sharp eyes were obviously not compatible with the age he had guessed in his heart. As for the woman beside him, although she was very beautiful, she had a murderous beauty, especially the faint killing intent hidden behind her beautiful eyes. It made people feel cold.
Gao Shifeng felt that although there were dozens of people on his side, he always felt that he was alone in front of the two of them. He felt very lonely.
Gao Shifeng stood about five meters in front of Xiao Tian. Gao Shiyang, who was beside him, saw the phoenix and shouted," Second brother is that woman who injured me like this." Upon hearing this, the Fire Phoenix turned to look at Gao Shiyang. Suddenly, a cold light flashed in his eyes. Gao Shiyang felt a chill on his neck when he met the Fire Phoenix's gaze, as if he was on a steel knife rack. He no longer dared to speak nonsense.
Gao Shifeng didn't seem to hear his brother's roar. He just looked at him, testing himself as if he was testing Xiao Tian. Xiao Tian didn't say anything either. He just looked at Gao Shifeng.
"Hello! My name is Gao Shifeng." Gao Shifeng seemed to want to break this depressing situation first, so he couldn't help but speak first.
"Hello! Mr. Gao." Xiao Tian obviously didn't want to tell Gao Shifeng his name.
Gao Shifeng was slightly stunned and said," I wonder why the two of you hurt my brother?”
"You have to ask your brother about this?" Xiao Tian said.
" Second brother, I just saw that the woman was pretty, so I went up to talk to her," Gao Shiyang said timidly as he looked at Gao Shifeng.
Gao Shifeng slapped Gao Shiyang's face." You've disgraced the Qing Gang."”Gao Shifeng obviously knew his brother's character, but he was angry that his brother was different from what he said just now.
"Are you from the Qing Gang?" Xiao Tian's expression changed slightly. He had only heard about the Qing Gang on television before, but he only knew about Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng. He did not expect the Qing Gang to exist in the underworld today.
"Brat, this is the second young master of our Qing Gang. Look…" A thug who looked like a thug was halfway through his sentence when he saw a figure flash in front of him, followed by a slap on his mouth. He immediately felt his left face swell up.
"I don't like this title very much!”Xiao Tian said leisurely. After the Fire Phoenix attacked, it immediately returned to Xiao Tian's back, as if it had never moved.
This time, it was Gao Shifeng's face that changed. No one had expected Xiao Tian to attack the second young master of the Qing Gang while he was speaking. Gao Shifeng gradually became angry. After all, no one in Shanghai dared to touch the Qing Gang, especially in front of the second young master of the Qing Gang.
Gao Shifeng suppressed his anger and said," Sir, no matter how wrong my brother is, you're too harsh. You don't seem to care about the Qing Gang."”No matter how advanced medical technology was, Gao Shiyang's left cheek would probably have a scar. This was unacceptable to Gao Shiyang, who always thought he was handsome, so he wanted to do everything he could to vent his anger.
"This matter has nothing to do with whether I respect the Qing Gang or not. We don't want to cause trouble. However, I want to tell you that he should be glad that he is still standing in front of you.”Xiao Tian said.
"Brother, you're too arrogant! You may not know the status of our Qing Gang in Shanghai. If we let you go today, our Qing Gang will take off our brand.”After Gao Shifeng heard Xiao Tian's words, he could no longer hide his anger.
When a person was used to having a smooth life, they would look down on others. It was the same for a gang. The Qing Gang was the leader of the underworld in Shanghai. For so many years, other gangs had been polite to the members of the Qing Gang. It was precisely because of this that the Qing Gang had a sense of superiority from top to bottom. Even a docile sheep would despise everything when there were no setbacks, let alone a fierce tiger like the Shanghai Qing Gang.
After Gao Shifeng finished speaking, the thugs in black behind him began to slowly approach Xiao Tian and his brother.
"If you want to leave, can you leave something behind?”Gao Shifeng said gloomily. This sentence might have been intimidating to others, but unfortunately, his opponent was Xiao Tian. To Xiao Tian, he was the only one who could intimidate others, but he would never allow others to treat him with the same attitude. Even if the other party was the Qing Gang, the largest sect in the game, he could not do the same.
Xiao Tian snorted coldly and said," What do you want me to leave for you?”
Gao Shifeng immediately felt a red shadow flash in front of his eyes, and he felt a chill in his throat. His expression changed drastically. He knew that the woman behind Xiao Tian had attacked again. He knew that his subordinates were far from this woman's skills. Just as Gao Shifeng was thinking about it, the Fire Phoenix retreated behind Xiao Tian and looked at Gao Shifeng coldly.
At this moment, Gao Shifeng's face was pale, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He felt as if he had just returned from the gates of hell. He quickly waved his right hand to stop the unwise actions of the more than twenty people behind him. He took a deep breath and said,"You guys, go!"”
"Thank you!" Xiao Tian smiled at Gao Shifeng and walked away with the Fire Phoenix.
" Second Young Master, he's too arrogant. How could you…" The thug behind him clearly did not understand Gao Shifeng's actions.
"Second Brother, why didn't you ask someone to kill them just now? Ah! If we let them go just like that, where will our Qing Gang put our face in the future?”Gao Shiyang shouted.
"Shut up! If it weren't for you, the Qing Gang wouldn't have been so humiliated today!”Gao Shifeng angrily scolded Gao Shiyang. Gao Shiyang was so angry that he turned around and left. He planned to look for his brother, Gao Shixiong, to vent his anger.
Gao Shifeng looked at the backs of Xiao Tian and his wife as they walked away. He let out a breath of relief and then reached out to re-fasten the top button of his shirt. The moment he unbuttoned his shirt, no one except Gao Shifeng noticed the blood-red scratch on his neck under his Adam's apple. It was left by Xiao Tian.
Gao Shifeng knew that if the scratch was one millimeter deeper, it could have killed him. This man was really unfathomable. Gao Shifeng waved his hand and called for one of the thugs behind him to come over." Inform all the brothers in the Qing Gang to investigate these two people immediately. I want to know everything about them in Shanghai. Go."”The thug agreed and left.
After a while, the street in front of the Bund returned to its former prosperity as if nothing had happened just now. However, the night was getting darker and the neon glow was brighter…
