The Turbulent Past of Jiadai

The century's most notorious gangster, Zhang Ziqiang, was utterly impressed by him. He called with Bengyaju like a sworn brother, and beat the Xiang brothers, who had the underworld and the authorities in their pockets, to a pulp! Just how legendary was Jiadai, the untouchable king of the underworld? Born Ren Jiazhong in Beijing in 1963, Jiadai was handsome and refined, the very image of a pretty boy by today's standards. He was as famous as Beijing's God of War, Bai Xiaohang. The saying went, “No one is more handsome than Jiadai, and no one is prettier than Bai Hang.” It referred to those two men! Jiadai came from a military family. After dropping out of school, he enlisted. When he returned, someone harassed his brother's girlfriend, so Jiadai stepped in and beat the man so badly he was seriously injured. Beijing was no longer safe for him, so he went alone to Shenzhen! With his cheerful personality, Jiadai made plenty of friends among the local toughs. Not long after arriving in Shenzhen, he started making a name for himself and carving out territory. Within a few years, he had built himself a place in the city! The Northeast, Hunan, and Chaozhou gangs in Shenzhen all feared him. Once, a single word from him wiped out nearly ten million yuan in debt owed by one of his brothers. Brave, clever, and fiercely loyal, Jiadai rose to prominence in no time, becoming the undisputed king of Shenzhen's underworld! A well-known chamber of commerce asked Jiadai to be its president. Unable to refuse their enthusiastic invitation, he added the word “acting” before the title. And so he became the acting president, earning the underworld nickname Jiadai!
