"They are outside the Phoenix Grand Hotel. I heard they are from Hong Gang, so I immediately came to tell Yun Song," Qi Miao said to Mo Ming. The relationship between their Little Green Society and Hong Gang was known to be hostile, and it was no wonder that Qi Miao looked so flustered with the sudden appearance of the adversarial Hong Gang.
Qi Miao was also involved in the underworld and was well aware of Hong Gang's reputation as a major gang in the south, on par with Azure Dragon Gang. Some even believed that Hong Gang's influence surpassed that of Azure Dragon Gang; otherwise, Hong Gang wouldn't have quietly taken over three bars under Azure Dragon Gang's jurisdiction without any resistance.
From this, many believed that there were no equal major gangs in the south, and that Hong Gang had always been the true ruler of the region.
In fact, these people's beliefs were correct. Mo Ming didn't know much about Hong Gang's background, but after learning about their connections with Dark Order, he understood that dealing with Hong Gang would not be as easy as with Azure Dragon Gang.
"Hmph, no matter what Hong Gang's intentions are, since they dare to come here, I will meet them. Boss, you stay here for a while; I’ll go out to see them!" He Yunsong snorted coldly and stood up to leave.
Mo Ming also stood up and said, "I want to see what tricks those bastards are up to!"
"Hahaha... No need to look; we are already here. Sorry for crashing Yun Song's wedding banquet today," a hearty laugh came from across the room. A refined middle-aged man walked over with a man in his thirties. The younger man had an expressionless face but was even more eye-catching than the smiling middle-aged man.
One of his eyes appeared strange, clearly different from the other; it was bloodshot and slightly purplish, and his proud gaze seemed to disregard everything around him.
"That man exudes a bloody aura; it's evident from his stride that he is a skilled fighter," Mo Ming frowned slightly as he carefully observed the approaching man with the unusual eye, who reminded him of a terrifying figure.
Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, He Yunsong felt disgusted and raised an eyebrow, his expression cold. "Hmph, how interesting. Since you know it's inappropriate to crash a party yet still do so, I can only think of you as shameless."
Hearing He Yunsong's sarcasm, the middle-aged man smiled instead of getting angry. However, his smile concealed a hidden threat that others couldn't detect; only someone like Mo Ming, who had seen countless faces, could sense the sinister undertone behind that smile.
The refined middle-aged man replied with a smile, "Yun Song, why speak so harshly? I Yin Jiu came today simply to congratulate you on your joyous occasion; there is no malice intended!"
Many present did not understand what Yin Jiu meant by his name, but someone like He Yunsong, who operated in the underworld, knew very well. As the head of Hong Gang under Ren Long, just a stomp from Yin Jiu could shake the entire southern underground world. It was unexpected that Yin Jiu would come here today accompanied by someone else.
This kind of courage is not something everyone can muster. Even though Yin Jiu understood the relationship between Hong Gang and the Little Green Society, he still came alone. Was it because he had seen through life and death?
The answer is clearly no. Yin Jiu dared to come because he understood that He Yunsong wouldn't dare to do anything to him. If he died, there would still be Yin Ten and Yin Eleven behind him. As long as He Yunsong dared to act against him, the Little Green Society would have to face the wrath of Hong Gang.
Now that the Little Green Society was just under He Yunsong's control, its overall strength was vastly inferior to Hong Gang's. If they did not touch Yin Jiu, Hong Gang would not cross the line for a while. However, if Yin Jiu were to die, Hong Gang would likely face severe consequences.
"Heh, I thought someone had the guts to come here; turns out it's the leader of Hong Gang himself. My face must be quite big for you to show up at a wedding," He Yunsong said, staring at Yin Jiu with a heavier tone. "Welcome indeed!"
Yin Jiu could hear the underlying meaning in He Yunsong's words and burst into laughter. "As long as you welcome me, that's good enough! Yun Song, today I brought you a gift; I hope you'll like it."
With that, Yin Jiu magically pulled out an exquisite box from his pocket.
"Thank you for your trouble, Boss Yin..." He Yunsong was about to respond insincerely when he saw what was inside the box that Yin Jiu slowly opened; his expression suddenly changed drastically.
Inside the gift box was a golden owl ornament. In ancient times, owls represented ominous signs; whenever they hooted, people believed someone was about to die.
The meaning behind Yin Jiu's gift was very clear: provocation—pure provocation. Presenting an owl ornament on someone's wedding day, even if it was made of gold, symbolically told He Yunsong that he should prepare for death!
"Bastard! Why send an owl? Is your whole family preparing to die?" Jordan shouted angrily, knowing what the owl symbolized.
Yin Jiu pretended not to understand and laughed. "I don't know what I did wrong to make you so angry, brother. If I've done something wrong, please point it out. But I hope you can watch your words and refrain from speaking nonsense!"
"Stop playing dumb..."
Jordan knew that Yin Jiu was pretending and wanted to continue speaking when He Yunsong raised his hand to stop him. Although he was quite annoyed by Yin Jiu's gift of an owl ornament, he still smiled on the surface. "My brother might have had too much to drink and spoken out of turn. If he has offended you, Boss Yin, I hope you won't take it to heart. I'll accept this gift; after all, it's made of gold—can't let it go to waste!"
"Ha ha, it's nothing, the younger generation is just young and tends to speak without thinking. As long as you, Yun Song, like this gift!" Yin Jiu waved his hand with a hypocritical smile.
Beside him, Mo Ming raised the corner of his mouth in a teasing arc and said, "Since Boss Yin has given my brother such a precious gift, I’ll thank him on behalf of my brother. If Boss Yin celebrates his birthday someday, I will personally present him with a crow made of gold!"
Crows and owls were considered ominous animals in ancient times. Mo Ming intended this as a retort to Yin Jiu, implying that if he dared to touch a hair on his brother, he would personally send him off to the afterlife.
Yin Jiu's expression slightly changed at Mo Ming's words but quickly masked it, forcing a smile as he said, "You must be the recently famous Mo Ming. Not bad, not bad; speaking so sharply at such a young age, you truly are someone who can accomplish great things!"
Mo Ming smiled slightly and replied, "Thank you for the compliment, Boss Yin. Since you came uninvited to give Yun Song such a grand gift, there's no need to be so polite. Let's sit down and have a drink together."
"No need for that. I came today not only to give Yun Song a gift but also to find you, Mo Ming," Yin Jiu said with an evil grin.
Yin Jiu's words shocked Mo Ming slightly, but he did not show it on his face. He smiled lightly and said, "I never expected that Boss Yin would come for me. I'm just curious about what matters you have for me."
"I heard that recently the Azure Dragon Gang caused quite a stir in Nanhua City and ended up being severely dealt with by you. Luo Long fled in disgrace, right?" Yin Jiu's eyes were fixed on Mo Ming.
"That indeed happened. But may I ask why Boss Yin brings this up?" Mo Ming squinted slightly; he couldn't understand why this old fox had come here today not only to deliver gifts but also to inquire about this matter.
Yin Jiu nodded and said, "That's right. The Azure Dragon Gang is our Hong Gang's enemy and also your Little Green Society's enemy. Why don't we join forces to eliminate them? Hehe, this would benefit both you and me."
"Boss Yin, you're joking. This matter should be discussed with the leader of the Little Green Society. Why bring it up with me, an outsider? I can't command the people of the Little Green Society; what you say is essentially meaningless," Mo Ming laughed heartily.
This old fox's intentions were truly hard to decipher. Since they were discussing cooperation between Hong Gang and Little Green Society, he should have approached He Yunsong about it. Yet he chose to talk to Mo Ming instead.
Mo Ming prided himself on his ability to read people, but today he found it impossible to grasp Yin Jiu's thoughts.
"I know you are not a member of the Little Green Society, but Yun Song is your sworn brother. If you agree, I believe he won't oppose it. Mo Ming, give me an answer: will you cooperate or not?" Yin Jiu's eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc as he fixed his gaze on Mo Ming, seemingly treating He Yunsong as if he were invisible.
"Sorry, I am indeed sworn brothers with Ah Yun, but unfortunately, the Little Green Society is under his command. My words don't count here, so let's not discuss this matter any further," Mo Ming replied, seemingly aware of Yin Jiu's intentions.
Yin Jiu was indeed not someone to be trifled with; his actions seemed to be sowing discord between He Yunsong and himself. Every word he spoke appeared directed at Mo Ming but was actually meant to convey to He Yunsong: in Mo Ming's eyes, you are merely a pawn!
"Forget it, forget it." Yin Jiu retracted his gaze and turned to He Yunsong, saying, "Since Mo Ming says Yun Song has the final say on this matter, then I would like Yun Song to give a clear answer: will we cooperate or not?"
Mo Ming secretly admired Yin Jiu's cunning and was not overly concerned about falling for this old fox's tricks. Given his relationship with He Yunsong, no matter how much Yin Jiu tried to sow discord, it would have no effect.
He Yunsong remained silent for a moment, seemingly deep in thought. Then he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, but I do not agree to the cooperation. If Brother Yin wants to drink, then stay; if not, I won't keep you."
"Ah, what a pity! I thought we could become allies. Yun Song, is there any room for negotiation on this matter?" Yin Jiu asked tentatively, maintaining his smile while concealing a deadly intent in his eyes.
Yin Jiu's words could be translated as clearly as ancient texts: those who follow me will prosper; those who oppose me will perish. If we are not allies, then we are enemies!
"I'm sorry; I'm afraid I must disappoint you, Brother Yin. I truly do not agree to form an alliance," He Yunsong said with a slight smirk, exuding an air of dominance. His smile carried an undertone of fearlessness.
"Well, if Yun Song does not agree, that's fine. But if there are any conflicts in the future, don't forget that I warned you. Choosing the wrong side can lead to serious consequences. Hehe, that's all I'll say." Yin Jiu turned to the man who had followed him and said with a smile, "Evil Eye, it's your turn to take the stage."
