Chapter 107: A Major Storm in the Underworld (Part Two)
Lin Feng didn't have that kind of mindset at all; Heung Yim was already beyond caring.
The words of the important figure echoed in his ears, and Heung Yim felt a chill run through his entire body.
Previously, he had only thought it was the important figure giving him a warning.
He never expected that while it was indeed a warning, it was more of a benevolent caution.
Unfortunately, he had overlooked it.
"Why didn't you say it more dramatically, so I would know?"
Heung Yim actually blamed the important figure.
But this sentence he only dared to say in his heart; he absolutely couldn't say it out loud.
Heung Yim composed himself and quickly called Axe Jun:
"Ah Jun, withdraw from Causeway Bay. The Triad will compensate you."
Heung Yim had been very calm before. Although Causeway Bay only had one street, Sun Yee On's influence was rock-solid, precisely because Axe Jun was there.
Now, how could he remain calm?
That fellow Lin Feng always liked to play the pig to eat the tiger. If he let Axe Jun stay there any longer, not only would that street be lost, but Axe Jun himself might be gone too!
Heung Yim was indeed an old hand in the underworld, knowing best how to make choices, decisively cutting off his own arm like a brave warrior.
"Later, I'll have to find an opportunity to compensate him… Directly approach Lin Feng? Wouldn't that be losing face?"
"Forget it, I might as well go find Liang Kun!"
Heung Yim picked up the phone to call, but looked up and finally shook his head.
Times were different now.
If it were a normal day, anything would be fine, even after midnight.
However, now he was asking for a favor, so he should respect Chiang Tin-Sung's schedule.
Heung Yim frowned deeply. How did a perfectly good hand of cards end up like this?
But since things had come to this, what could be done?
While he was troubled and couldn't sleep, others were excited and couldn't sleep.
Chiang Tin-Sung, Liang Kun, Prince, Hon Ban, and the three brothers were all gathered in Sister Thirteen's bar, filled with laughter and joy.
"Mr. Chiang, this time we really showed our power! To take on one of the top ten Triads in the underworld and, most importantly, to wipe it out in just two hours—it was exhilarating!"
Prince thumped the table and shouted loudly.
Kam Tze-tai loved practicing martial arts and was willing to fight.
Hung Hing placed him in Tsim Sha Tsui, a battleground, precisely to let him utilize his strengths.
Prince lived up to expectations, single-handedly transforming an enclave into a stronghold.
"Not only that, this time we raised our banner first, and other Triads responded. They all owe us a favor, making things much easier to handle in the future."
Hon Ban's perspective on the issue was unique.
"If you ask me, it's because Mr. Chiang leads well, and the brothers are united and strong. Otherwise, Hung Hing wouldn't be so easy to deal with."
Liang Kun was a master of pleasantries.
Anyway, Ah Feng said that the territories could be divided however the Triad wanted. Without the pressure of a mission, Liang Kun didn't care who got which territories.
The Chung Ching Society's territory was large, but only large; it was, after all, a young Triad, and its territory simply couldn't compare to older Triads.
Of course, Hung Hing was a big organization and didn't care for it, but these territories looked very different in the eyes of others—they were definitely prime meat!
Prince and Hon Ban exchanged glances, both feeling strange. What was up with Liang Kun recently?
Why was he constantly flattering Mr. Chiang?
Was something going on?
Chiang Tin-Sung laughed heartily:
"This battle, we fought with righteous cause, and it truly established Hung Hing's reputation."
"This matter was handled beautifully; both the underworld and the establishment owe us a favor."
"Ah Kun was half right. The success of this matter was due to the unity and strength of the brothers, but let's not forget Ah Feng. Without his righteous cause and mediation, it wouldn't have been so easy for us."
Hon Ban sighed:
"These crabs from the Chung Ching Society always walk sideways and act arrogantly. Thirty or forty people clearing the way often block a whole street."
"They're afraid others won't know their ways."
"They're always making newspaper headlines. In fact, the Police Force hates them more than we do."
"This time, the Police Force didn't intervene at all, and even helped control order while we were fighting. That's the most authentic reaction."
Chiang Tin-Sung pointed a finger at Hon Ban:
"Binny Hu has insight."
"An organization like the Chung Ching Society is an anomaly in the underworld."
"The fact that we could take them down doesn't mean we can take down others."
"Everyone must have a correct understanding."
Liang Kun smiled:
"If it weren't for this sudden incident, who would bother with the crabs of the Chung Ching Society?"
"They're digging their own graves and will eventually be wiped out by the Police Force."
"Isn't it better to earn more money than to spend that effort fighting and killing?"
"What's most important when you're in the game? Earning money is number one!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Sister Thirteen said with a smile:
"Mr. Chiang, the Chung Ching Society's resources have some good stuff. What can we get?"
Chiang Tin-Sung smiled and said:
"Tomorrow, I'll discuss it with Camel, Master Shen, and Brother Chang."
"We can probably take Kowloon City."
"A portion of Hong Kong Island should also be uncontested."
Liang Kun clapped his hands:
"That's good. One of the richest places and one of the poorest places. If we take these, others will only say we are benevolent."
Chiang Tin-Sung asked:
"Anything else?"
Hon Ban thought for a moment and said:
"These Chung Ching Society guys are involved in everything, both legitimate and illicit. They basically do whatever makes money."
"If possible, Mr. Chiang could ask for the hotels they operate."
Chiang Tin-Sung was startled:
"Hotels?"
Sister Thirteen asked curiously:
"Which of our Triad members operates hotels?"
Hon Ban smiled and said:
"None of us know how to operate them, but someone does. Young people have quick minds; they can definitely do it."
Chiang Tin-Sung immediately understood:
"Binny has insight. Ah Feng put in so much effort; we can't let him work for nothing."
"He likes industries, so let's give him the hotels."
Liang Kun burst out laughing:
"I'll thank all of you on Ah Feng's behalf."
Hon Ban smiled and said:
"We're all brothers from the same sect; helping each other is only right."
"Ah Feng has always been the one putting in effort for us, always thinking about making money."
"It's only right that we give back to him."
Chiang Tin-Sung slowly nodded:
"Honestly, we should all learn from Ah Feng."
Prince said with a wry smile:
"I only know how to practice martial arts; I can't learn that."
Sister Thirteen said with a charming smile:
"I only know how to manage nightclubs; I can't learn to do other things."
Chiang Tin-Sung smiled and said:
"Stick to what you know, not what you don't. That's basic business sense."
However, he secretly shook his head. Both Prince and Sister Thirteen had limited achievements.
Everyone has their comfort zone, and to improve, one must leave it.
But staying in the comfort zone for a sense of security is human nature.
Chiang Tin-Sung wouldn't speak ill of the two, but he also wouldn't try to persuade them anymore.
Looking at the sky, it was indeed late, so he said:
"Tomorrow night, Liang Kun and Binny will come with me to the Hall of Brotherhood for a meeting. We need to discuss the division of the Chung Ching Society. Everyone should get some rest early."
So, everyone dispersed.
Da Shan woke up early looking for Chen Taotao, couldn't find him anywhere, and panicked. He called Chen Taotao's phone, and when it connected, he learned that Chen Taotao was in the hospital.
Da Shan rushed to the hospital and was shocked to see Chen Taotao's bruised and swollen face:
"Tao Tao, who beat you up like this?"
Chen Taotao's face was relaxed:
"I heard it was the Dragon Head of the Chung Ching Society."
Da Shan gasped:
"The Triad?!"
"Should we call the Police?"
Chen Taotao calmly shook his head:
"No need."
Da Shan advised:
"The Triads in Hong Kong are very powerful. Let's call the Police quickly. If not, let Mr. Lin step in and warn them…",
"I heard the Chung Ching Society's influence is very great. Mr. Lin stepping in might not be effective."
Chen Taotao chuckled, but the smile pulled at his wounds, making him gasp in pain.
Da Shan was truly anxious:
"Tao Tao, don't take this lightly. The Chung Ching Society has a very big reputation."
Chen Taotao endured the pain and smiled:
"Don't worry, there won't be a Chung Ching Society anymore."
Da Shan was completely confused:
"What do you mean, no Chung Ching Society?"
Chen Taotao calmly said:
"Yesterday, Mr. Lin brought people and wiped out the Chung Ching Society. Its Dragon Head, Ting Hau-Hai, was even thrown directly into the sea."
Just then, a medical staff member passed by the door. Da Shan's face turned pale with fright:
"How dare you say such a thing?"
"What if the medical staff hears it?"
Chen Taotao tilted his head and smiled:
"I forgot to tell you, this hospital is run by the Triad that Mr. Lin belongs to."
"He was afraid that there might be some stragglers from the Chung Ching Society who would come after me again, so he brought me to this hospital."
Da Shan was dumbfounded, his entire body stammering.
"Fa…fake, right?"
Just then, the doctor came in for rounds, and Uncle Nan's son checked Chen Taotao and said,
"Mr. Chen, Brother Feng has instructed that you should rest well here for this period."
"We are the most professional at this."
Da Shan was puzzled:
"The most professional?"
Uncle Nan's son said truthfully:
"This is Hung Hing's Triad Hospital. The most common injuries for Triad members are various fractures, including ribs, of course."
"Brother Feng said that there's no rush with the Baisheng Fund. You can just treat this as a paid vacation here."
Chen Taotao laughed heartily:
"Alright."
Uncle Nan's son then said to Da Shan:
"This must be Da Shan, right?"
Da Shan quickly replied:
"That's me."
Uncle Nan's son smiled and said:
"It will be troublesome for you to spend more time with Mr. Chen during this period. Brother Feng specifically instructed that you will get one hundred thousand hong kong dollars for accompanying him."
Da Shan said in astonishment:
"I have a talent for accompanying patients?"
"Is medical care that profitable?"
Chen Taotao was amused by Da Shan:
"You fool, this is clearly Mr. Lin putting your mind at ease."
Da Shan thanked the doctor, then said:
"Of course, I know Mr. Lin is trying to put my mind at ease, but I'm committed to you. How long have we been partners?"
Chen Taotao smiled genuinely:
"You can also take a vacation; you'll earn money anyway."
Da Shan quietly asked:
"Was the Chung Ching Society really annihilated by Mr. Lin?"
Chen Taotao nodded solemnly:
"I saw it with my own eyes!"
Da Shan gasped.
Lin Feng slept until noon. When he woke up, Fang Ting was clinging to him like an octopus.
Gently disentangling himself from the mermaid, Lin Feng drove out to buy shrimp dumplings, oyster cakes, and wontons. By the time he returned, Fang Ting was already up.
"Why didn't you sleep a bit longer?" Lin Feng asked, surprised.
Fang Ting didn't speak. She stepped forward, hugged him tightly, gave him a long French kiss, and then looked at Lin Feng adoringly,
"I don't want to be separated from you."
Lin Feng stroked her hair:
"Silly girl, I'm always here."
Fang Ting placed the food on the table and then asked nervously:
"Will the downfall of the Chung Ching Society have a bad impact on you?"
Lin Feng shook his head:
"No."
"Actually, both the underworld and the legitimate world had reached their limit with the Chung Ching Society."
"They were an anomaly."
Fang Ting was puzzled:
"An anomaly?"
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"The Triad might be different from what you imagine."
"For those at the bottom, fighting and killing to rise in rank is a last resort…"
"It's just that you might not have noticed, but in a Triad, opportunities for advancement are rare."
"Across the entire underworld, the existence of multiple Triads makes it seem like all Triads are constantly fighting and killing."
"This situation is both true and not true."
Fang Ting's uneasy heart gradually settled, replaced by curiosity,
"Why is that?"
Lin Feng explained:
"To put it plainly, everyone who joins the Triad is out to make money."
"To make money, you have to rise in rank."
"People in the Triad have no knowledge, no brains, only a worthless life."
"Fighting to rise in rank becomes common."
"However, the true high-level Triad members actually run the Triad like a business."
"So, no matter what business they do, they always leave a way out for others."
"Just like the casinos in Macau, even if a gambler loses all their money, the casino will still provide them with travel expenses to go back."
"Everyone can distinguish between a single full meal and continuous full meals."
"That is to say, they absolutely never go too far."
"The Chung Ching Society was the one that went too far."
"They were frequently in the headlines."
"Although you were a financial reporter before, these things are interconnected, and you should have channels to understand."
Fang Ting was quite embarrassed:
"I was deceived by him."
Lin Feng expressed understanding.
It's normal for one to be so focused on a single leaf that they miss the entire mountain.
He pulled out the newspaper he bought on the way,
"See what the newspaper says."
Fang Ting quickly took it and looked down. The newspaper used phrases like "Heaven has eyes" to describe the demise of the Chung Ching Society.
"Don't worry about my safety."
"Both the underworld and the legitimate world have long wanted to get rid of those guys."
"It's just that there was no suitable excuse."
"Triads also value having a justifiable reason for their actions."
"The Police Force even more so."
"If The Ding Family's crabs hadn't provoked me, I wouldn't have bothered with them."
"As long as you're not harmed, everything is negotiable."
"Who knew Ting Hau-Hai would dare to abduct you? Then there's no need to be polite; just eliminate him, and it's over!"
Fang Ting was instantly moved and pulled Lin Feng down, throwing herself onto him.
Lin Feng said in surprise:
"Stop, we're eating breakfast."
Fang Ting mumbled:
"What breakfast? Am I not better than breakfast?"
The two finally got themselves together, and it was already four o'clock.
Lin Feng returned to the bedroom and suddenly felt strange:
"Why is there a big hole in the bedsheet?"
Fang Ting's face instantly turned red:
"I cut it."
Lin Feng was silent:
"Are you keeping that as a souvenir?"
Fang Ting snorted coldly:
"Mind your own business?"
Lin Feng said helplessly:
"Let's get ready quickly; we need to go to the hospital to visit Tao Tao."
Fang Ting suddenly realized:
"Oh, right!"
She quickly fumbled to change her clothes, suddenly wincing in pain.
Lin Feng exclaimed:
"What's wrong?"
Fang Ting was extremely aggrieved,
Lin Feng rolled his eyes:
"I told you, they always come in pairs."
Fang Ting said angrily:
"I don't care. As long as my body allows it, I will stay by your side."
"At worst, it'll be one day on, one day off!"
Lin Feng nodded repeatedly.
"Alright, alright, if you're not afraid of hard work, then it's fine."
Fang Ting hooked her arm through his and whispered:
"I'm different from them. I love my career, but I love my family even more."
"I like the feeling of being with you; I feel especially secure."
Lin Feng understood instantly.
Fang Ting's experiences were actually quite tragic; this was a manifestation of a father complex.
No wonder Ting Hau-Hai, despite being a villain at the time, still caught Fang Ting's eye.
Nothing else, that kind of domineering bad boy could indeed give an ignorant young girl a sense of security.
It's just that, compared to Ting Hau-Hai, Lin Feng was a level higher, so Fang Ting definitely couldn't leave him.
He could only make her work hard in the future, with one day on and one day off.
Actually, thinking about it, Lin Feng was quite excited.
"Originally, I was going to take you to see Godmother today. I've married a new wife, so I have to let her know."
"Then I also need to go see Aunt Ling and clear up the misunderstanding between you all."
Fang Ting exclaimed:
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Lin Feng was quite innocent:
"Is it my fault? Who said they didn't want breakfast?"
Fang Ting's face flushed red, and after a long while, she said:
"What misunderstanding?"
Lin Feng said directly:
"Your brother, Fong Chin-Bor, has actually been learning stock techniques from Yip Tin."
Fang Ting was surprised:
"Yip Tin? Yip Tin, the Stock God? The one on par with Father?"
Lin Feng nodded:
"That's right. Actually, your great battle with Chan Man-yin was always in Yip Tin's eyes. Fong Chin-Bor was learning techniques from him."
Fang Ting frowned and said:
"Isn't Yip Tin crazy?"
Lin Feng said faintly:
"That's right, this is actually also a tragedy. You can ask your brother about it when you have time."
"Yip Tin is good at teaching disciples."
"Your brother was taught well by him."
"Stocks are never singular but involve multiple projects working together."
"Unfortunately, Aunt Ling misunderstood and temporarily left home."
"Well, it's definitely not good to visit elders so late."
"But visiting Tao Tao is no problem at all."
Fang Ting was already impatient,
"Let's go!"
Lin Feng called Wang Jianguo, and the three headed straight for the Triad Hospital.
As they walked, Lin Feng suddenly told Wang Jianguo to turn, heading directly to a racecourse lottery outlet.
Lin Feng led Fang Ting inside.
"Aren't we going to see Tao Tao? Why are we here?" Fang Ting was very confused.
Lin Feng smiled and said:
"I don't think I've ever given you a gift."
Fang Ting was speechless:
"You're not going to say that buying lottery tickets counts as a gift, are you?"
Lin Feng smiled and said:
"Why not?"
Fang Ting thought for a moment:
"Alright then!"
"Such a unique gift, other boyfriends definitely wouldn't give it."
Lin Feng playfully flicked her delicate nose,
"Congratulations, you're about to become a rich lady!"

Chapter 108: Dai Kuen Pao Came, Dai Kuen Pao Left (Part 1)
"The Triad Hospital is a bit different from what I imagined."
As an elite in the financial world, Chen Taotao wasn't as rigid as people usually assumed.
Quite the opposite, this guy separated work and life, and when he wasn't working, his mood was particularly optimistic.
He often came up with witty remarks, making people enjoy talking to him.
"What interesting things did you find at the Triad Hospital?" Fang Ting clearly knew Chen Taotao's little hobby.
"Uh…"
Chen Taotao's face was filled with complex emotions.
"In my imagination, the patients in a Triad Hospital would always curse, then utter all sorts of vulgarities, and then loudly scold someone."
"However, it's very quiet here."
"It's no different from any other hospital."
"This deviates somewhat from my understanding."
Hahaha.
Lin Feng burst into laughter.
Chen Taotao couldn't help but remind him:
"Mr. Lin, this is a ward, please keep your voice down."
Lin Feng couldn't stop laughing,
"Tao Tao, you came at an unfortunate time."
Chen Taotao's mouth twitched. Who would want to come to a hospital?
No matter when one came to a hospital, it was always an unfortunate time.
"The patients or injured people here are very different from those in the past."
Chen Taotao's heart stirred:
"Mr. Lin, what do you mean by that?"
Lin Feng shrugged,
"The wards here are basically full, after all, it's just a Triad Hospital, so beds are limited."
"This bed of yours is specially reserved for Leader-level Triad members and above."
"Then do you know how the patients in the outside wards were brought in?"
Chen Taotao suddenly had a bad premonition,
"I… I suddenly don't want to know anymore."
Lin Feng smiled wryly:
"You're right, I'm the one who sent them all in."
Chen Taotao inexplicably felt scared:
"Mr. Lin, why don't you transfer me to another hospital?"
"If those fellow patients find out about your relationship with me, won't they come after me?"
Lin Feng shook his head with a smile:
"No!"
Fang Ting asked curiously:
"Ah Feng, why did you send people from the same Triad in?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"The Big Boss within the Triad had disputes, I was purely following the rules."
"Two halls fighting amongst themselves, it was just a small lesson for them."
"The severely injured only had their legs broken — don't worry, it's not as serious as you think, they just need to wear casts and recuperate for a few days in the hospital."
"Those with lighter injuries just had their arms broken, that's even simpler."
"Think about it, this was eight days ago."
Both of them were stunned!
"Internal hall conflicts actually reached this point?" Chen Taotao had a Preliminary impression of the Triad.
"What can be done?" Lin Feng was very helpless, "It's a Triad, if you don't show some strength, the competition won't stop."
"Ah Feng, has the hall master who was competing with you calmed down?" Fang Ting didn't care about that, she only cared about Lin Feng's safety.
"He has calmed down!" Lin Feng smiled very freely, "When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out, everything ceases."
Fang Ting and Chen Taotao's hair stood on end, especially Chen Taotao. He struggled to get up — damn, Lin Feng had already taken out the hall master, how could he dare to stay in this hospital?
One must know that all the fellow patients in the hospital were from the hall that was taken out.
Lin Feng chuckled:
"Alright, to tell you the truth, that guy from that hall wasn't killed by me."
"Fatty Lai betrayed us, colluded with outsiders, and wiped out B's family."
"That guy was subjected to family law."
"The patients in this hospital are in low spirits because Fatty Lai shamed them."
Chen Taotao let out a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help but complain:
"Mr. Lin, with the way you speak, my heart almost jumped out."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"With me here, what are you afraid of?"
"You are my subordinate, always remember this. If you are bullied, call me immediately."
"Whoever dares to bully you, I will retaliate a thousandfold."
"If you are killed, I will send his whole family to accompany you in death."
Chen Taotao was a little touched, then suddenly felt something was wrong, and quickly said awkwardly:
"Mr. Lin, it's better if I don't die."
Lin Feng burst into laughter.
The three chatted aimlessly when Uncle Nan's son walked in, excited yet reserved:
"Brother Feng."
Lin Feng smiled:
"Nam Tsai, how is Tao Tao's condition?"
Uncle Nan's son said nonchalantly:
"Minor injury."
"Three ribs were broken. I'm not boasting, but when it comes to treating this kind of injury in Hong Kong, our Hung Hing's community hospital is definitely the best."
"We are the most professional."
"However, a hundred days for broken bones and tendons, so Mr. Chen needs to rest well for at least a month."
Lin Feng decided,
"No, I want him to make a full recovery. I don't care about the time; a person's health is the most important."
Uncle Nan's son patted his chest and guaranteed:
"Brother Feng, rest assured, absolutely no problem."
Lin Feng gently patted his shoulder. Chen Taotao, being sharp-eyed, actually noticed that the director looked much more comfortable — Mr. Lin truly was a big figure in the Triad.
"Does the Triad need any help?"
"Or are there any advanced instruments that need to be installed?"
Uncle Nan's son said nonchalantly:
"Our Hung Hing does things more traditionally, not like some hospitals in America or Okamoto that specialize in obtaining human organs…"
Chen Taotao was startled:
"America obtains human organs?"
Uncle Nan's son said indifferently:
"One hospital where I interned directly took organs while the patient was still alive. In America, this kind of thing is almost an open secret in the industry."
Chen Taotao's hair stood on end, a chill rushing to the top of his head.
Fang Ting instinctively covered her mouth.
Lin Feng gave the other party a reproachful look and comforted the two:
"This world isn't as beautiful as you imagine, but it's not as dark as you imagine either."
"Nam Tsai, have you forgotten what should be said to whom?"
Uncle Nan's son immediately apologized, scratching his head and saying:
"I forgot they were outsiders."
Lin Feng, afraid he would say something else outlandish, quickly said:
"You never come without a reason, tell me, what have you set your eyes on?"
Uncle Nan's son said excitedly:
"Brother Feng, I heard you took out the Chung Ching Society. The fourth of The Ding Family's Four Crabs runs the most top-tier private hospital in all of Hong Kong."
"That hospital was originally also the Chung Ching Society's Triad Hospital…"
Lin Feng immediately pulled out his phone:
"Mr. Chiang, this is Lin Feng."
"Other things from the Chung Ching Society can be forgone, but their Triad Hospital must be seized."
"As far as I know, that hospital's resources are top-notch in Hong Kong."
"Haha, I won't go. You several Big Boss can discuss and proceed."
He hung up the phone efficiently and said lightly to Nam Tsai,
"Prepare yourself. Today or tomorrow, go and take over this hospital."
Nam Tsai expressed his profound gratitude.
Lin Feng and Fang Ting came out of the hospital. The woman's expression was a bit tense, and the former gently hugged her:
"Were you scared by Nam Tsai's words?"
Fang Ting nodded slightly.
Lin Feng said indifferently:
"This world has white, black, and gray."
"The dividing lines between the three worlds are almost distinct."
"Some people are very lucky, living their entire lives in the white world."
"Some people are very pained, always entangled with darkness."
"These two types of people are actually fine; they have firm beliefs."
"The unluckiest ones are those who live in the gray area."
"They endure darkness, but can also see light."
"However, the light is only a sliver, and darkness envelops the earth."
"So their beliefs also waver, and they are always in pain."
Fang Ting couldn't help but hug Lin Feng back:
"Ah Feng."
Lin Feng suddenly smiled:
"Don't worry, with me here, your life will always be filled with light from now on."
Fang Ting nodded vigorously.
As soon as the two got into the car, Wang Jianguo suddenly said:
"Boss, the person in front seems a bit off."
Lin Feng said calmly:
"This is Hung Hing's Triad Hospital, what could be off?"
Wang Jianguo's observation was very keen,
"Although that guy hid himself, I can sense the aura of a fellow kind."
Lin Feng was startled:
"Fellow kind?"
"From Mainland?"
"Big Circle Gang?"
Wang Jianguo thought for a moment:
"Better safe than sorry!"
However, completely to their surprise, the person Wang Jianguo called a fellow kind walked straight towards their car.
The person raised both hands, signaling that he had no ill intentions.
Lin Feng rolled down the car window, revealing the man's stern face:
"Brother Feng, I am Dai Kuen Pao, and I have some business I want to discuss with you."
Lin Feng opened the car door without a word:
"Get in."
Dai Kuen Pao instinctively took a step back.
He had thought of all sorts of ways Lin Feng might react to seeing him, but he had absolutely not anticipated this one.
Lin Feng said, exasperated:
"I know who you are, and I bear you no ill will."
"Jianguo already said, you are his kind."
Dai Kuen Pao gave him a deep look and got into the driver's seat.
Fang Ting was very smart and well-behaved; she knew this was absolutely not the time for a woman to speak.
Wang Jianguo asked:
"Boss, where are we going?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"According to my standards for entertaining distinguished guests, we should, of course, return to Victoria Peak, but the choice is in the guest's hands."
"Do you want to come back to my private residence with me, or go to my Causeway Bay office, or go to a place you consider safe?"
Wang Jianguo involuntarily glanced at the person in the passenger seat.
This was the first time the Boss had brought someone he had just met back to his actual private residence.
Dai Kuen Pao was full of astonishment:
"You really know me?"
Lin Feng said impatiently:
"Your name is Dai Kuen Pao, but that's just an alias you use to operate in the Triad world of Hong Kong."
"You are actually Team Leader Shi of the Guangdong Province Public Security Department."
"Do I need to be more clear?"
Silence!
Fang Ting and Wang Jianguo looked at Dai Kuen Pao in surprise.
Dai Kuen Pao also had a look of shock on his face.
After a long while, he asked bitterly:
"Mr. Lin, how did you find out?"
Lin Feng was very calm,
"In this world, there are very few things I don't know."
Dai Kuen Pao pouted, quite speechless: "He really managed to put on a show."
However, he couldn't help but admire him.
This was Team Leader Shi's first time walking in Hong Kong as Dai Kuen Pao.
Even when he met people before, he hadn't exposed this nickname, and others didn't know his true identity, only that he was a "special envoy."
Lin Feng asked:
"Team Leader Shi, how do you choose?"
Dai Kuen Pao quickly said:
"Don't call me by my rank, just call me Ah Bao."
Lin Feng chuckled:
"Leopards are very fierce; recently, Leopard of Tung Sing is preparing to devour his own people."
Dai Kuen Pao wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, he decided against it:
"Then I will trouble Mr. Lin."
Lin Feng instructed Wang Jianguo:
"Home!"
Wang Jianguo nodded steadily.
The Guangdong Province Public Security Department sounded like a big deal, but Wang Jianguo was, firstly, a retired injured soldier; secondly, he joined the Security Company through legitimate recruitment; and thirdly, the Boss seemed to have intimidated the other party with his aura.
Wang Jianguo was not flustered in the slightest.
Thirty minutes later, everyone returned to the mansion on Victoria Peak.
Fang Ting dutifully brewed them tea and sat quietly to the side.
Hong Kong and Taiwan are quite traditional.
Men handle external affairs, women handle internal affairs, very distinct.
Lin Feng pulled out thin cigars and tossed them to the three, saying with a hint of pain:
"These are cigars I snatched from Brother Kun, one hundred US dollars each, only three left."
Dai Kuen Pao found it hard to believe:
"Mr. Lin, you're a billionaire, aren't you? Do you still care about just one cigar?"
Lin Feng nodded vigorously:
"I do care, these were snatched from Brother Kun, they smoke wonderfully."
He turned to Fang Ting and instructed,
"Ting Ting, when you go to see Godmother tomorrow, remember to remind me."
Fang Ting obediently agreed.
Dai Kuen Pao pondered for a moment, then smiled:
"Mr. Lin's home is very large, I wonder if I could see it?"
Lin Feng understood:
"Alright, then I'll take you to see my home."
Visiting the study, that was all just an excuse.
The two just wanted to find a quieter place to talk.
Everyone knew this.
Lin Feng led Dai Kuen Pao to the study, and the latter had no objections.
"Ah Bao, you really know how to give me a good gift. I'm thinking, should I report this through domestic channels?"
Dai Kuen Pao was a little flustered:
"Mr. Lin, this matter was purely an accident."
"I just wanted to send you a message through that guy Heung Yim, who knew that guy would try to use a chicken feather as a token of authority?"
"This has nothing to do with me."
As Dai Kuen Pao explained to Heung Yim, in the eyes of their Mainland, Lin Feng was hundreds, thousands of times more important than Heung Yim.
The two were not on the same level at all.
Putting aside other things, Lin Feng's extensive industrial investments in his Mainland alone would make his Mainland make different choices when dealing with Lin Feng.
Compared to that, Heung Yim had no advantage whatsoever.
Furthermore, Heung Yim was full of black marks, but Lin Feng, apart from bearing the title of a Hung Society hall master, had a police record as clean as a blank sheet of paper.
These were two people of completely different levels.
His Mainland naturally knew how to distinguish between what was important.
Lin Feng snorted coldly, and Dai Kuen Pao awkwardly fell silent.
Speaking of which, although it was selfish, Dai Kuen Pao's approach was also flawed, adding an extra middleman increased the chance of error, which Dai Kuen Pao only realized later.
Many people have a misconception, instinctively believing that any Hung Society member will definitely be suppressed by their Mainland.
Those guys must have been slacking off when they were studying.
Among the eight democratic parties, there is also one that was founded the earliest and evolved from the Hung Society.
People like Lin Feng, who come from the Hung Society, have a clean background, a clean record, and are dedicated to the construction of their Mainland, are natural targets for them to absorb.
This is also a difference in levels.
Dai Kuen Pao already understood his mistake when he talked with Heung Yim.
Lin Feng was not only a big shot who could influence both the underworld and the legitimate world in Hong Kong, but he would also be a distinguished guest in his Mainland.
Originally, Dai Kuen Pao had planned to find an opportunity to meet in a couple of days, but who knew that last night, Chen Taotao was kidnapped, and Lin Feng, in a fit of rage, wiped out the Chung Ching Society.
At this point, Dai Kuen Pao couldn't sit still; he had to come and put out the fire.
"Mr. Lin, the matter between you and Heung Yim is a misunderstanding."
"Sun Yee On actually didn't intend to do anything to Hung Hing."
Lin Feng very impolitely interrupted Dai Kuen Pao's speech:
"What happens to Hung Hing is none of my business."
Lin Feng showed his attitude,
"I am not the Dragon Head Chairman of Hung Hing; I am not responsible for Hung Hing. I am the Talker of Causeway Bay; I am only responsible for my hall."
"When you're out in the world, whether in the underworld or the legitimate world, my face can be used as money."
"That old man Heung Yim, thinking his Triad seniority was high, dared to slap my face at my celebration banquet…"
"Do you know how many Triad Straw Sandals were there at the time?"
"Do you know how many Dragon Heads were there?"
"Everyone was watching my actions."
"When you're in the Triad, you can't lose face."
"If I bow to Heung Yim today, everyone will climb over my head tomorrow."
"This loss of prestige, will you compensate me?"
Dai Kuen Pao was speechless.
"Heung Yim must pay the price. I, Ah Feng, keep my word; I said I would eradicate Sun Yee On in Causeway Bay, and I will do it."
"Otherwise, who will take my words seriously in the future?"
Dai Kuen Pao immediately said:
"Mr. Lin, don't worry, Heung Yim already knows he was wrong. He has already ordered Axe Jun to transfer his territory in Causeway Bay to you."
"He backed down!"
Lin Feng was stunned, then suddenly spat:
"Old fox!"
Dai Kuen Pao smiled bitterly:
"You can't blame Heung Yim for this; it's just that your recent actions have been too big."
"Crippled Fatty Lai in two hours, found the killer in the Fine B family annihilation case in one day, and wiped out the Chung Ching Society, one of the Top Ten Gangs, overnight."
"All of this was accomplished in just one week."
"You don't even know you've gained a new nickname, do you?"
Lin Feng was genuinely curious:
"What nickname?"
Dai Kuen Pao said expressionlessly:
"Ghost's Bane!"
Lin Feng complained:
"What kind of rubbish nickname is that?"
"I just want to quietly enjoy life, and they came knocking on my door, so it's my fault?"
Dai Kuen Pao was also speechless.
In just seven or eight days, if anyone else had done such crazy things, it would certainly have caused a stir in the Triad.
But the one doing these things was Lin Feng… and no one in the Triad was actually gossiping.
Just as Lin Feng said, these things came knocking on his door.
Fatty Lai, there's nothing much to say about that; internal hall provocation, purely personal vendetta.
Fine B, even less to say; that was doing things for the Triad.
The Chung Ching Society certainly couldn't blame Lin Feng; Ting Hau-Hai kidnapped Lin Feng's woman and subordinate. If he didn't retaliate, he wouldn't be a Triad man at all.
But the problem was that although Lin Feng's every move was justified, his methods were too ruthless, the kind that directly took lives.
Fatty Lai was almost beaten into bankruptcy; Tung Sing in the Fine B case suffered a major hemorrhage; the Chung Ching Society was the worst off, with the five crabs returning to the sea.
