After saying that, he nodded to Da Dong and greeted him.

“Since you’re here too, let’s go in and chat together. Don’t keep Lao Ding waiting!” Da Mi said.

"it is good!"

Xu Lang responded and entered the villa with the two men.

Led by his younger brother, the three of them sat down in the living room. Xu Lang picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then asked Da Mi, "Dami, do you have any news from your side? Do you know why Lao Ding called us over?"

Although Mengrenhui had already told him that Camel had called them over today, probably because it was related to the porcupine incident, Mengrenhui's rank was low enough that he might not know the details.

"What else could it be!" Big Mimi curled her lip and said, "It's that guy Porcupine. Recently, that guy has been spreading rumors that no matter what happens in the triads, he's going to switch sides to Hung Hing. I guess Boss Ding has reached his limit with him!"

Da Mi is the most well-informed among them, and the information he gives is generally accurate.

Xu Lang had only heard about the few-eared porcupine before, but he hadn't paid much attention to it. After all, he had just transmigrated and was still adjusting to his new identity, so he didn't have time to care about other people's business.

Now that I hear Da Mi say this, I realize that things have escalated to this point.

Given the relationship between Tung Sing and Hung Hing, Porcupine's actions were tantamount to slapping Camel in the face; it would be a miracle if Camel could tolerate it...

Chapter Three: Camel, Ancient Fool, Uncle Hai

When the three of them had almost finished their cup of tea, Camel led the others into the living room.

Accompanying him were the gang's White Paper Fan, Gu Huolun, and Uncle Hai, a veteran of the Tung Sing gang.

"Old Ding!"

"Uncle Lun!"

"Uncle Hai!"

Upon seeing the camel caravan arrive, the three quickly rose to greet them.

"Sit!" After the camel took his seat in the main seat, he gestured for the others to sit.

Although Xu Lang had been in this world for some time, he had been busy working at the finance company. This was the first time he had met Camel, Uncle Hai, and Young and Dangerous.

As he sat down, he took a brief look at the three of them.

Of the three, the oldest is Uncle Hai, a senior member of the older generation.

Uncle Hai was rather obese, with only a few strands of white hair on his sparse forehead. His facial features were squeezed together due to his obesity. Even with a cane, he was panting and sweating profusely after walking just a few steps.

Slightly younger than Uncle Hai was the gang's White Paper Fan, Gu Huo Lun. Wearing round-framed glasses, Gu Huo Lun's physique was the complete opposite of Uncle Hai's. He looked somewhat gaunt and his low-key image was nothing like that of a gang leader.

But the occasional glint of light behind his glasses reveals that he is definitely not a simple character.

The youngest of the three was Camel. Although Camel was not young, his vigorous and energetic appearance made him look much younger than his age, more like a middle-aged man in his prime.

The seating arrangement for the three was as follows: Camel was in the middle, Uncle Hai was on the left, and Young and Dangerous was on the right.

After they were seated, Camel spoke up: "You probably already know to some extent why I called you here today. That traitor Porcupine actually wants to switch to Hongxing. He has no respect for me as the leader or the rules of the gang!"

"If that bastard were to switch allegiance to Hung Hing, all the dignity of the Tung Sing people would be trampled underfoot by Hung Hing!"

"I've tried to dissuade him many times before, but since he insists on going his own way, he can't blame me for being ruthless as the leader. The gang is preparing to clean house, and the three of you are all promising young members I have high hopes for. So this time, the gang has decided to draw lots from the three of you to take down that guy!"

Being in a gang is unlike any other profession. You can't just quit whenever you want, and you can't easily switch allegiances. Especially when someone like Porcupine switches allegiances to an enemy gang, it's a clear slap in the face to Tung Sing. If they don't make an example of him, Tung Sing will become a laughing stock in the underworld.

As soon as Camel finished speaking, Big Mi was the first to loudly agree: "Old Ding, leave this to me. I'll arrange for someone to take care of that guy right away."

After he finished speaking, Da Dong added, "This kind of traitor deserves to be killed by everyone. Lao Ding, there's no need to draw lots, just leave it to me!"

Upon seeing the two men pledge their loyalty, Xu Lang replied, "Don't worry, Boss, leave the matter to us. We guarantee that guy won't escape Tianshui Enclosure!"

Seeing the three of them so eager, Camel's displeasure subsided slightly. "I'm not worried about your abilities, but there's no need to mobilize so many people to deal with a porcupine. Otherwise, our friends in the underworld will think that our East Star has no talent and can't even handle a small traitor."

"Let's do it the same way as before: draw lots for life or death, and whoever draws the lot will carry out the mission!"

After Camel finished speaking, he turned to Aaron and said, "Alan, clear the area!"

"Yes, sir!"

Gu Huolun responded and turned to the crowd in the living room, announcing loudly, "Now we'll draw lots for life and death. All irrelevant people, leave!"

Drawing lots for life and death is a routine procedure when working for the gang. During the drawing, all the underlings except for the gang's senior members and the person drawing the lots must leave the room to prevent anyone from leaking the results.

At Gu Huolun's command, Xu Lang and his two companions, along with their underlings, all left the scene.

After everyone else had left, Gu Huolun took out a divination stick container, shook it, and said, "Life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are determined by fate. The one among you three who draws a red stick, if he or she deceives his or her superiors or refuses to comply, will be dealt with according to the gang's rules. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" the three replied in unison.

The life-or-death fortune slips come in two colors: black and red. Drawing a red slip means you've won.

Xu Lang had no objection to the lottery. The original owner of this body was already a fighter, and with Meng Renhui and the expert Chen Hao, who was a reward from the system, dealing with a porcupine was a piece of cake.

Whether it was good luck or bad luck, he was the first to draw a red lot.

After seeing that Xu Lang had won the lottery, Camel said to him, "Since you've won, this matter is yours to handle."

"Yes, boss!" Xu Lang replied.

"You two should go back first. I still have some things to tell Ah Lang!" Camel said to Da Mi and the other person.

After the two left, Camel handed Xu Lang information on the porcupine's recent movements, saying, "This is the porcupine's activity trajectory for the past period of time. Deal with that guy as soon as possible!"

"understand!"

"I won't concern myself with the specifics of how to proceed; you can handle it yourself. Uncle Hai has a couple more things to tell you, so go and talk to him!" After saying this, Camel and Gu Huolun left the living room.

After watching the two leave, Uncle Hai said to Xu Lang, "Lang, I need you to do me a small favor. Before we take care of that bastard Porcupine, castrate him for me!"

Porcupine was an extremely lecherous fellow, and he also had another nickname, "Perverted Pig." Back then, he was incredibly audacious and got involved with Uncle Hai's mistress. If Camel hadn't intervened out of consideration for their past relationship, Porcupine would probably have been torn to pieces by Uncle Hai long ago.

Although Camel saved him, he couldn't resolve the feud between the two. Over the years, Uncle Hai has been making things difficult for Porcupine. The reason Porcupine wanted to join Hung Hing was also largely due to the suppression he faced here.

Previously, when the camel was protecting the porcupine, Uncle Hai couldn't do anything to it. Now that the guy has become the target of everyone's anger, Uncle Hai naturally won't let this opportunity pass by to vent his anger.

Xu Lang already disliked porcupines, and given that Uncle Hai's private message was clearly approved by Camel, he naturally wouldn't refuse Uncle Hai's request...

Chapter Four: Ah-Shin, the Leader of Hung Hing in Yuen Long

After Xu Lang left Camel Villa, he had just gotten into the car when he heard the system notification in his mind.

"The villain system has issued a mission: Kill the porcupine."

"Mission completion reward: Talents include agility and proficiency in marksmanship."

Xu Lang raised an eyebrow at the task. He was originally going to deal with that guy for the gang, but he didn't expect to receive an extra reward from the system.

"Boss, did we win the lottery?" Meng Renhui, sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and asked, interrupting Xu Lang's thoughts.

"Hmm!" Xu Lang responded casually, handing the information Camel had given him to Meng Renhui. "This is the information Lao Ding gave me. Take a few brothers and confirm that Porcupine guy's movements!"

"Yes, boss!" After taking the documents, Meng Renhui gestured to the driver, who then started the van and drove back to the finance company.

Meanwhile, in a karaoke bar on Lau Fau Shan Seafood Street in Yuen Long, Porcupine was having a good time with Ah Shin, the leader of Hung Hing in Yuen Long.

"A glass of wine, a couple of glances, they come to join the party every now and then; if we're talking about building lasting relationships, I'm number one in the world..."

Ashin was having a great time, hugging a hostess and singing loudly into the microphone, but the porcupine sitting next to him looked preoccupied and formed a stark contrast to him.

In the past, Porcupine would have already started flirting with the hostesses beside him, but today he really wasn't in the mood for that.

He has now completely broken ties with Camel. If Hung Hing were to betray him again, he might not have a place to stay in Hong Kong.

"Porcupine, why are you looking so gloomy? Are you worried about the camels?" Ashin asked, seeing his expression.

"I can't help but worry!" Porcupine said with a furrowed brow, "Brother Xin, will there be any problems with my joining Hung Hing?"

"Don't worry, I've already spoken to Mr. Chiang about your situation!" Ah-Xin patted his shoulder to reassure him. "Mr. Chiang asked me to tell you that as long as you sort out your accounts and territory, Hung Hing will definitely provide you with protection after you switch sides."

"If you perform well later, it's not impossible to give you a leadership position!"

Upon hearing this, Porcupine's eyes lit up immediately. "Mr. Jiang really said that!"

"How could this be false? We, Hung Hing, value talent the most. Once you bring your men and territory to join us, you will definitely be highly valued, and your future success will be just around the corner!"

Ashin wasn't just trying to fool him. Although the relationship between Hung Hing and Tung Sing wasn't tense enough to be a direct confrontation where they would start fighting every time they met, the relationship between their subordinates wasn't exactly good.

The fact that Porcupine wants to switch sides to Hung Hing is a blow to the morale of Tung Sing. Hung Hing will naturally not be stingy with a small reward for something that makes their opponent unhappy.

However, this is on the premise that the porcupine has to bring his subordinates and territory with him to receive this treatment. Otherwise, if he only brings a few core subordinates to transfer, he will be lucky to receive protection, and he can forget about anything else.

"Thank you so much, Brother Xin, for going to such lengths for me. I'll toast you with this glass!" Porcupine said, raising his glass.

After downing a glass of wine, Porcupine couldn't help but complain about Uncle Hai, "That old bastard Uncle Hai, all I did was sleep with his mistress, and he's been relentlessly suppressing me. Now that I'm switching sides to Hung Hing, I'll see what that old guy can do to me!"

"What can he do but watch? Hahaha..." Ashin laughed out loud.

“That’s right!” Porcupine chimed in heartily, “We’ll see how angry that old bastard will be then, hahaha…”

The following afternoon, Meng Renhui went to the finance company to report the findings of his investigation to Xu Lang.

"Boss, that guy Porcupine was partying with Ah-Shin, the head of Hung Hing in Yuen Long, at the Lau Fau Shan Seafood Street last night until dawn. I heard that bastard is going to the gambling dens in the Timber Market today to sort out the accounts and prepare for the handover!"

Upon hearing Meng Renhui's report, a cold glint flashed in Xu Lang's eyes. "This guy is really determined to betray the gang. Go tell the brothers to get ready. Tonight, we'll go straight to the lumber market and take care of him!"

"Boss, leave this to me. Just wait for my message at the company!" Meng Renhui said.

Although Meng Renhui was Xu Lang's subordinate, in terms of skill, he was much stronger than Xu Lang himself.

The two met while serving time in a prison cell. Because of his gang background, Xu Lang treated his time in the prison cell like a vacation and didn't suffer much. When he saw someone bullying Meng Renhui, who had no background, he helped him out.

After being released from the kiln, Meng Renhui followed him around.

Meng Renhui's family was quite poor. He only had his grandmother as a relative. When his grandmother passed away, Meng Renhui couldn't even afford the money for her burial. It was only with Xu Lang's help that the old lady was able to be laid to rest.

From then on, the fierce wolf followed Xu Lang wholeheartedly and was extremely loyal to him.

"No need!" Xu Lang waved his hand and said, "I drew the lot from Lao Ding, so there's no reason not to go. Besides, I promised Uncle Hai that I would castrate that bastard Porcupine!"

"Go and make the arrangements, and remember to invite Chen Hao along too..."
