Chapter 624 Ding Qing's Two Paths
After listening to what Watson said, Ding Qing was really tempted.
Shi Dongchu, who was in the Tiger Faction before, also came to Ding Qing in person and talked about the idea of combining the three gangs of the Tiger Faction, the Peking University Faction, and the Emperor's Sun Faction to form a group.
Ding Qing was already somewhat tempted at the beginning. If it weren't for Xin Hongtai's sudden visit, Ding Qing would have planned to accept Shi Dongchu's suggestion.
According to Shi Dongchu's expectation, after the group was established, he would serve as the president, Zhang Shouji of the Imperial Sun faction would serve as the vice president of the group, and Ding Qing would serve as the director.
It can be said that Ding Qing's position is the lowest, but there is no way. Ding Qing's background is indeed a bit low. Unlike in the Tiger Faction, they are not just a gangster society, there are people supporting them behind the scenes. Shi Dongchu also knows a lot of people and has a very deep network of contacts.
Zhang Shouji of the Imperial Japanese Faction was better at doing business, had more money, and knew many businessmen.
Ding Qing suffered a lot of discrimination in Seoul because of his identity as an overseas Chinese. He rose up in resistance, led many overseas Chinese to fight for their own future, and established the Peking University School.
Although there are many people in the Peking University sect who dare to fight and kill, in terms of various connections, they cannot be compared with the Tiger Sect and the Emperor Sun Sect.
Ding Qing also knew his own disadvantages. In Seoul, if he had no background and could only fight and kill, he would not know how he died. Therefore, he was very proactive in the idea of a joint effort proposed by Shi Dongchu of the Tiger Faction.
The Tiger Faction and the Emperor Sun Faction are both old gangs. Although they have connections, there are not many people who dare to fight and kill. Moreover, the three gangs have joined together to form a group, which makes them vulnerable to suppression.
No matter what, Ding Qing's Peking University School is a good sword!
This is also the reason why Shi Dongchu came to find Ding Qing.
Of course Ding Qing knew why Shi Dongchu wanted to form an alliance with him, but he had no choice. If he did not form an alliance with Shi Dongchu who was in the Tiger Faction, the other party would find other societies.
That would be a devastating blow to the Peking University school!
Before the group was established, the Tiger Faction might have been wary of one or two Peking University sects, but after the group was established, the two sides were no longer on the same level.
If you don’t want to be destroyed, you can only choose to join!
If nothing unexpected happens, Ding Qing will choose to join the joint plan proposed by Shi Dongchu of the Tiger Faction.
But now, this accident happened.
Hong Kong Xin Hongtai, this giant deep-sea crocodile, came to Seoul from Hong Kong Island, and as soon as he arrived, he vowed to take over Seoul.
At this moment, Ding Qing also began to hesitate, because he knew that his choice would determine the life and death of countless people, including himself and his good brother Li Zicheng.
At this time, Li Zicheng's heart began to fluster. As for Section Chief Jiang's instructions, he had long forgotten them.
If you stand up against Xin Hongtai now, you would be seeking death.
At this time, Li Zicheng's heart was also in turmoil.
He was originally an undercover agent planted by the police next to Ding Qing, but at this moment, he completely forgot Section Chief Jiang's instructions.
Li Zicheng is not a fool. He clearly realizes that standing up and provoking Xin Hongtai now would be tantamount to seeking his own death.
He secretly observed Watson and his group and found that each of them had a bulge on his waist, obviously carrying a weapon.
More importantly, their eyes and temperament reveal a chilling sense of oppression.
Especially A-Zu and others, the evil aura emanating from them made Li Zicheng feel a little uneasy.
He knew that these people were by no means ordinary gangsters, but real strong men who had experienced countless bloody battles.
Li Zicheng lowered his head silently, secretly thanking himself for not acting rashly.
He knew that if he jumped out to provoke Xin Hongtai now, he and Ding Qing would only fall into an irretrievable situation.
Watson stood aside, looking at Ding Qing with a very conflicted look on his face, but he was not in a hurry. He would give Ding Qing enough time to think. He believed that Ding Qing would make the best choice.
At this moment, Ding Qing was frantically thinking about the difference between the two paths.
The first way is to accept Shi Dongchu's proposal and join the newly formed group. This means that he will become the "third oldest" in the group, with a status far lower than Shi Dongchu and Zhang Shouji.
More importantly, this is likely to anger Xin Hongtai and trigger a fight between the two sides.
Ding Qing had long heard of Xin Hongtai's strength - their battle with gambling king He in Macau had already spread throughout the Asian underworld.
Ding Qing knew very well that his Peking University school was no match for Xin Hongtai.
The second way is to accept Xin Hongtai’s conditions and become the head of Xin Hongtai’s branch in Seoul.
This means that he will gain the support of Shin Hongtae and become the actual controller of the Seoul underworld.
However, this also means that he will be the enemy of the entire Seoul gang, including the Tiger Faction, the Imperial Sun Faction, and other gangs large and small.
This is a road full of risks, but also a road full of opportunities.
This is also the reason why Ding Qing hesitated.
Ding Qing pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Watson with a firm gaze: "Mr. Hua, can you give me ten minutes? I want to discuss this with my good brother Li Zicheng. After all, this matter involves too much, and we need to consider it carefully. Don't worry, ten minutes will be enough."
Watson smiled faintly and nodded: "Okay."
Ding Qing quickly stood up and bowed slightly to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your understanding!"
After that, he took Li Zicheng and walked quickly into the private room next door. After closing the door, Ding Qing took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Li Zicheng, and then lit the cigarettes of both of them with a lighter. The private room was suddenly filled with smoke, and the expressions of both of them looked particularly solemn.
After taking a few deep puffs of his cigarette, Ding Qing finally spoke in a low and serious tone: "Zicheng, what do you think?"
Li Zicheng's face showed a struggling expression. He was full of contradictions: should he really follow Section Chief Jiang's instructions and make the Peking University sect and Xin Hongtai the enemy? If so, Ding Qing and himself would probably not be able to escape death.
He slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, his voice low but firm: "I think we should agree to Xin Hongtai's conditions. In this way, we will be the boss in Seoul. Although there is a bigger boss above us, it is better than being the third in command."
"If we agree to let Shi Dong go, we can only be subordinate to others and be directors. There are also vice presidents and presidents above us. Do you want to be the third or the boss?"
These words struck Ding Qing's heart.
He had worked his way up from the bottom to where he is today, so how could he be willing to be just the third in command? Before, he had no choice but to bow his head and compromise, but now, another path was laid out before him—a path that would allow him to become the true master of the Seoul underworld.
Ding Qing took a few deep puffs of the cigarette, then threw the cigarette butt to the ground and crushed it with his foot.
A trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he cursed in a low voice: "Assi bastard! Isn't it just to make enemies with the entire gang in Seoul? I'm not afraid of anything! As long as we have the support of your good brother, we are invincible!"
