The judge adjusted his glasses and lowered his voice.
"Hong Laohu brought eight men with him this time!"
"They're all old acquaintances from the Southeast Asian region!"
"Not strong in combat, but has some clever ideas!"
"They've booked an office building in Wan Chai tonight to use as a temporary base!"
"Should I send someone over to surround them first?"
"Need not!"
Xu Lang waved his hand.
"Don't alert them!"
"I'll go there myself!"
"I need to confront this kind of person face-to-face!"
"Don't think that just because you have a few more dogs at Tojoyama's outpost you can kill me!"
"I'll show him that I can crush every single piece he plays!"

The next afternoon, at the Golden Hill Building in Wan Chai.
In an office on the tenth floor, Hong Laohu sat on a leather sofa, smoking a cigar with gusto.
Do you know what time it is right now?
"Although Tung Sing is still holding on, judging from their posture, they are all bark and no bite!"
"I managed to escape unscathed right under their noses back then, so why would I be afraid of them now that I'm back?"
His men all laughed and echoed his sentiments.
"Brother is wise!"
"I'm sure to make a fortune this time!"
"Tojoyama Shito personally called out your name, saying that you understand the situation in Hong Kong best!"
"As long as Dongxing is thrown into chaos, we can make another big move in this market..."
"Don't speak too soon!"
There were two knocks on the door.
boom!
He kicked the door open, and it slammed against the wall, the sound echoing throughout the entire floor.
Xu Lang walked at the front, wearing a simple black T-shirt, with a calm expression, followed by Hu Dami and several members of the Alpha team.
Hong Laohu's face froze on the spot, and the cigar in his hand fell to the ground, untouched by anyone...
"Yo!"
Xu Lang glanced around and then spoke.
"Old friend, it's been years, you've become quite bold!"
"You didn't even say goodbye before coming back?"
"Didn't I hit you hard enough before? Now you want to try again?"
Hong Laohu chuckled twice and stood up with a stiff upper lip.
"Brother Lang, don't misunderstand, I'm back this time to discuss cooperation!"
"I heard that many businesses on Hong Kong Island are short-staffed right now, so I brought my brothers back to see if there are any opportunities!"
"I didn't mean anything by it!"
"cooperate?"
Xu Lang smiled, his eyes narrowed.
"You pocketed two-tenths of my debt, ran off for two years, and now you're coming back to talk about cooperation?"
"Do you think I'm deaf or have cerebral palsy?"
"Do you think I don't know that you met with Liu Yongxing 4.0 the day before yesterday, and had dinner with people from the Tojoyama branch yesterday?"
"You're back to do business?"
"You're probably not here to arrange a cremation!"
Hong Laohu's expression changed, his eyes flickered, and his fingers trembled slightly.
"Brother Lang, some debts are just about money... We're all in this industry, let's just let bygones be bygones!"
"I came back this time because I really wanted to..."
Chapter 459 Do you think Dongxing is afraid of you because they're not taking action against you now?
Snapped!
Xu Lang raised his hand and slapped Hong Laohu, causing him to fall backward, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth and a red mark appearing on his face.
"Do you have the right to negotiate with me?"
"A person like you can only survive, you're not qualified to negotiate!"
"Do you think Tung Sing is not taking action against you because they're afraid of you?"
"Wrong, you're not qualified for me to lay a hand on you!"
"But since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, I'll grant your wish!"
"Tiger Meow!"
"Brother Lang!"
"Break his legs and throw him out!"
"If he ever sets foot on Hong Kong Island again, don't even ask me, just kill him!"
15 “Yes!”
After Tiger Dami finished speaking, he grabbed the steel rod beside him and rushed over.
A scream suddenly came from inside the house.
The others were too scared to move, and they huddled against the wall, trembling.
Xu Lang didn't even look at him, turned around and walked out.

When He Xigui returned to headquarters that evening, he was sitting on the sofa in the office area, flipping through a document.
"Brother Lang!"
"I found it!"
"Liu Yongxing has indeed been making frequent moves lately!"
"He secretly registered three companies in the past few days: one for logistics, one for metal recycling, and one disguised as a building materials factory!"
"These three companies together form a financial cycle!"
"The source of the funds is unclear, and the funds all flow to a processing plant in the Northwest. On the surface, it is to buy copper mines, but in reality, it is to buy scrap metal to launder money!"
"These three companies have already taken on three major projects, which is clearly a cover for money laundering!"
Xu Lang's tone was cold.
"Liu Yongxing is serious!"
"From the moment he started making money, I knew he wasn't just looking to get a share!"
"He wants to take advantage of the chaos to completely seize control of Dongxing's outer perimeter!"
"The way they're doing this now is to bring in the resources of the Tojoyama branch, use laundering to support a few peripheral forces, and then turn around and swallow us up!"
"He thinks he's smart, but he's forgotten his background!"
"Get the stern-browed one ready!"
"I'll personally lead a team to talk to him!"
"This time, it's a direct and forceful blow!"
"If he continues to play dead, I'll make him wish he were dead!"
At 3:30 p.m. the following afternoon, Xu Lang sat in the main seat in the conference room at the East Star headquarters, without saying a word.
To his right was a man with furrowed brows, his expression calm, holding a freshly brewed cup of strong tea.
On the left, the judge, Hong Wentong, and Wang Jianjun were all present.
The atmosphere at the scene wasn't exactly oppressive, but everyone knew that the matter they had to deal with today was no simple one.
"Liu Yongxing!"
Xu Lang suddenly spoke, his tone very calm.
"Tell him to come over tonight!"
"It wasn't about discussing cooperation; I personally asked him how he wanted to play the game!"
"Notify his people that I'll be waiting for him at the 'Yuejiang Restaurant' near the old wharf at 8 PM tonight!"
"I don't want to hear excuses, and I don't want to hear nonsense!"
"If he really thinks Tojoyama can protect him, then 477 better not come!"
The judge nodded slightly.
"I'll make the arrangements!"
Hong Wentong smacked his lips.
"Brother Lang, this Liu Yongxing used to be quite sensible, how come he's getting more and more arrogant now?"
