The entire trip was as low-key and clean as his arrival; no one dared to inquire, and no one dared to see him off.
Before leaving, he stood on the rooftop terrace of the entertainment complex for more than ten minutes, with Wang Jianjun and Aji right behind him.
It was a place without cameras or outsiders, belonging to the highest level of confidentiality in the entire Haojiang project, and was only open to him.
The streets below were brightly lit, and the flow of people gradually increased.
In the distance, billboards in the commercial district were lit up. The film company's building had changed its signage. The sign that originally read "Hanhui Film Industry" was removed overnight and replaced with the five new characters "Dongxing Culture".
Xu Lang stared at the lights, his face expressionless.
He doesn't need applause or anyone giving him a thumbs up.
There was only one thing he wanted—control.
It's not just ordinary project control; it's complete control over the entire chain, from funding and personnel to channels and the power of discourse.
He knew that although Tojo Yamashi had suffered a loss this time, he would not stop there.
Just like a tiger owner who doesn't pull out the tiger's teeth, there's always a chance for a comeback.
He came to Macau not to show off or to establish his authority, but to personally create a deep pit in the ground so that the Yamaguchi-gumi would know that anyone who dares to step in again would have to prepare to bury their life in it.
Wang Jianjun looked at him without saying a word. Aji stood with his head down, his hand on the holster of his gun, his vigilance never wavering.
"Let's settle all the favors owed to us in Haojiang!" Xu Lang turned around: "All those who previously cooperated with Hanhui, get back into the queue, investigate what needs to be investigated, and replace what needs to be replaced!"
"Report all the problems you find to the jewelry factory's HR department. Don't alert headquarters. Just do as I say!"
"In addition, starting today, separate accounts will be set up in Haojiang, and I will review all financial reports once a week!"
"Yes!" Wang Jianjun nodded.
"You stay here and keep watch for three months!"
Wang Jianjun nodded slightly, without asking any questions or hesitating.
He knew that if the boss personally told someone to stay, it meant that the land hadn't been cleared yet.
"Aji, come with me!" Xu Lang said, then stepped off the terrace. The group went downstairs together, where the convoy was already waiting.
Three days after leaving Haojiang, Tojo Yamashita finally made his move.

It wasn't an overt operation, but rather the first round of business competition launched on the outskirts of Hong Kong Island through the triads led by Cai Dafu and Liu Yongxing, which had completely switched sides.
The most direct example is the "Lianfeng Logistics Terminal" located at the entrance of Kowloon City—that was the earliest territory taken over by the Tung Sing gang. It was a semi-legal transit area, responsible for key nodes in the transportation, warehousing, and distribution of goods between Hong Kong Island and the outside world, as well as overseas smuggling.
...............
The Three-Mouth Group wanted to uncover Tung Sing's main business, but dared not touch its overt industries, so they started by targeting these "hidden corners."
At 10 a.m. that day, the person in charge of Lianfeng Wharf called and said that someone was forcibly cutting in line under the pretext of "transferring goods to clear inventory" and had threatened several workers on site.
The other party brought more than twenty people, operating under the name of "Shuntai Trading," and was a partner of the Dafa Gang.
As soon as the call ended, Xu Lang didn't say anything, but sent Lei Yaoyang a text message.
Ten minutes later, Lei Yaoyang personally led a group to the scene.
He brought twelve thugs, none of whom were wearing gang uniforms or carrying any firearms. Each of them carried an iron rod, and they drove straight to Lianfeng Wharf.
Chapter 663 The commotion was big enough
Upon arrival at the scene, Shuntai Trading was still shouting, saying, "We have goods nearing their expiration date," "We've spoken with your superiors," and "You'll bear the consequences if you don't let us load the goods."
The Dongxing workers at the scene were terrified and dared not utter a sound or take any action.
The other party came with a group of people, looking like they were sure no one in Tung Sing would stand up for them.
Before he could finish speaking, an iron bar smashed into the headlight of their truck, shattering glass.
Lei Yaoyang, nicknamed "663," stepped on the hood of the car, looking at the group of people with a sneer on his face.
Are you talking about your mother?
"Does this place belong to your family?"
The group immediately backed down, though the leader still tried to put on a brave face and explain.
“Our boss has a business relationship with Liu Yongxing, you can’t…”
"You motherfucker, what kind of cooperation are you talking about!"
"Liu Yongxing is your dad now? You're causing trouble at my Dongxing docks, and you even have some good-for-nothing as your backer?"
"I, Lei Yaoyang, will tell you one thing today: if I see any of you here again, don't blame me for breaking your legs!"
Seeing that things were going badly, the other party tried to call for help, but Lei Yaoyang went up and kicked him to the ground, pressing an iron rod against his neck.
"Stop calling, it's useless!"
"My boss said, if these people don't learn the rules, let them learn them on their own!"
"Anyone who touches my dock's land today will be punished with a stick, and they'll have to pay for it!"
After he finished speaking, his men immediately began to act.
Twenty-odd people were beaten to their knees by twelve people and scrambled away to escape.
Some people left their shoes behind, some vomited blood, and the worst off was a person with a broken nose who was thrown into a garbage dump and not carried away until two hours later.
That afternoon, word started circulating in Hong Kong's triad circles that Tung Sing was no longer backing down.
Xu Lang didn't say a word, but everyone understood that the battle at Lianfeng Wharf was a bloody whip he had personally unleashed.
Anyone who dares to try will have to taste the weight of this stick.
That night, Tiger Dami spent the entire night at the main hall checking the staff, adjusting the schedules, finances, worker allocations, and venue layouts of all the branches.
Tough guys were stationed in every fringe venue, and Alpha Special Forces began to enter warehouses, docks, and nightclubs on the outskirts of Hong Kong Island to carry out the most direct deterrence and interception.
Xu Lang, after reviewing a real estate project report in his office, simply gave an instruction.
"Summon Shirakami back to Hong Kong!"
"Tojo Yamazaki's move is too slow, I'm getting impatient!"
Shirakami arrived at Hong Kong Island on the afternoon of the second day...
He was wearing a long black trench coat, and his leather boots stomped softly on the iron plates of the port dock, each step making a firm, resounding sound.
Bai Shen is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Tung Sing, nicknamed "The Butcher." He rarely appears in Hong Kong Island and spends most of his time abroad keeping an eye on Xu Lang's overseas investments.
No matter how good other gang leaders are, they are just the top fighters in their gangs. But Bai Shen is different. He got his way by killing people. He doesn't rely on his position or fame. He got to where he is today by killing his way out.
He arrived with a squadron of thirty Alpha special forces soldiers.
These thirty people were the most carefully selected group of people Xu Lang had allocated within the entire system.
They have been receiving special training under White God 4.0, and each of them has complete close combat, infiltration, and emergency response capabilities. They don't have many missions, but whenever they do, it's always to kill.
That evening, Bai Shen arrived at the East Star headquarters, saw no one else, and went only into Xu Lang's office.
He didn't speak, but placed a stack of documents on the table. They contained information about the progress of the acquisition of the Thai rubber plantation, the inventory and statistics of the Myanmar jade mine, and the construction plan for the second phase of the entertainment city in Macau.
Chapter 664 Try Pretending Again
After Xu Lang finished reading it, he handed the document back to him.
"You don't need to worry about those things anymore!"
"Hong Kong Island is about to be redeveloped; I need you to stay here!"
White God nodded without asking why.
Xu Lang turned and walked to the window, looking at the brightly lit streets outside, his voice calm.
"The men you bring, go to Sai Wan now and keep an eye on the Da Fa Gang's warehouse complex."
Those places used to be used for laundering goods; now they're using them for trading!
"I don't care what they have inside, as long as I discover any cross-gang financial transactions, I'll take action immediately!"
"Whom do you want to go?"
"Hit the men first, don't touch the boss!"
"Leave no one alive except Cai Dafa himself!"
White 15 nodded, accepted the order, and turned to leave.
In less than an hour, tension began to rise in the warehouse complex in Sai Wan under the cover of night.
The Alpha Commando vehicles, without any warning signs, bypassed the perimeter from three side roads and immediately took control of the outer perimeter.
Then, Bai Shen personally led his men inside. Two of the warehouses were being loaded with trucks. Dozens of porters tried to resist when they saw strangers approaching, but were immediately subdued.
Bai Shen remained silent, but simply gestured for his men to seal the warehouse door.
He stood beside the pile of goods and glanced around, his gaze landing on a black van waiting to be loaded in the corner. It was a local rental car, but the last four digits of its license plate were a series of numbers that Tojoyama branch used to use.
Bai Shen didn't say anything, he just raised his chin.
His men opened the car door and found a package of unreported transfer slips under the back seat, as well as a brown leather suitcase without any markings. Inside were stacks of unrecorded cash and a voided purchase contract.
These items are clearly designed for laundering; even the packaging is incredibly sophisticated.
Bai Shen glanced down at it but didn't say anything.
He went straight to the stairwell next to the warehouse, tore the contract into several pieces, lit them on fire, and stuffed them into the electrical control box.
The entire corridor instantly reeked of burning. He turned around, walked to the middle of the warehouse, dragged the people from the van out, and shoved them to the ground.
"Who gave you permission to load the goods?"
The man stammered and said that the owner of the goods had called him to come.
Bai Shen reached out and broke off one of his fingers, expressionless.
"Say it again!"
The man reluctantly gave the address, saying that the goods were transferred from Liu Yongxing's factory and had to be loaded onto the truck tonight to be transported out of the island first thing tomorrow morning.
Bai Shen nodded and ordered his men to subdue everyone in the warehouse and stuff them into an abandoned warehouse next door.
He didn't kill anyone, nor did he use any excessive methods. He simply pinned these people to the ground, tied them up, and then stepped on each of them, making them explain everything they had seen and knew.
