Chapter 109: Dai Kuen Pao Came, Dai Kuen Pao Left (Part 2)
The name 'Ghost of Misery' truly didn't do him wrong.
Lin Feng asked Dai Kuen Pao angrily:
"Which of the things I've done is wrong?"
Dai Kuen Pao gave a wry smile:
"Right, they're all right!"
These were his true feelings.
Stability in Hong Kong society comes first.
Although Lin Feng's methods were sharp and overbearing, he truly used the most severe means to deter the Triads.
It was true that the underworld had been stirred into a massive storm, and those underworld figures probably had a lot to say about Lin Feng behind his back.
To be fair, none of these incidents involved ordinary people.
The Hong Kong public had been celebrating like it was New Year for the past week, and even the Police Force, though busy, was in high spirits.
It would be best if all those Chung Ching Society members died.
Lin Feng was angry for a while, then he started laughing himself:
"This is good too; from now on, whoever wants to contend with me, these few will be their example."
Dai Kuen Pao shook his head:
"Unless they're crazy, who would want to contend with you?"
Lin Feng chuckled:
"This is what I hope to see."
Dai Kuen Pao was speechless; he knew Lin Feng must have had a purpose for doing this.
Lin Feng asked:
"Why did you suddenly want to come see me?"
Dai Kuen Pao said helplessly:
"I originally wanted to come to Hong Kong anonymously to check on Triad matters, but then I suddenly received a notification and had no choice but to come."
Lin Feng pondered for a moment:
"Is it about the Security Company selling it?"
Dai Kuen Pao nodded:
"Yes!"
"Chief Huang of West Kowloon Police Headquarters and Chief Lin of Hong Kong Island Regional Headquarters are both local factions."
"After you told Chief Huang about that matter, Chief Huang didn't dare to delay and immediately reported it to Mainland."
"I received orders to contact you directly."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"The three industrial mother machines that the Security Company sold to Big Mao in the North were actually tacitly approved by COCOM."
Dai Kuen Pao was surprised:
"How do you mean?"
Lin Feng glanced at him, and said lightly:
"Since you're here, I have a few pieces of information for a trade."
Dai Kuen Pao said with a wry smile:
"I can't come up with several million here."
Wong Bing-Yiu honestly reported his dealings with Lin Feng to Mainland, which included the matter of buying information for one million hong kong dollar.
Lin Feng snorted:
"Several million?"
"The information I'm about to reveal, you might not get it in time even if you spend ten million."
"Honestly, all information has a lag; at a certain specific time, it's priceless."
"But after that period, the information becomes news everyone knows and loses all value."
Dai Kuen Pao was more cautious, speaking truthfully:
"I really don't have enough here."
Lin Feng said indifferently:
"You do!"
Dai Kuen Pao was surprised:
"What?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"You also know my situation; my right-hand man is Xiao Fu, and you should be perfectly clear about what he's doing back in Mainland."
Dai Kuen Pao said heartily:
"Li Fu went back to recruit people, and we even gave him the green light; the local authorities are cooperating with him in recruitment."
Clap.
Lin Feng snapped his fingers:
"Since that's the case, let's make a deal."
"Li Fu's individual capabilities are too limited; in Mainland, you all have more influence."
"I need people here, a lot of people."
"Before, I was carefree, but to deal with potential future incidents, I need many people I can trust and who are capable."
"I think you have these people."
Dai Kuen Pao was startled:
"You want retired soldiers?"
Lin Feng countered:
"Is that not allowed?"
"I want retired soldiers who have brothers at home, not only children."
"It's best if they have connections with Li Fu and Wang Jianjun themselves."
"People whose backgrounds are clear are reassuring to use."
Dai Kuen Pao frowned:
"Will they also have to join Hung Hing if they come over?"
Lin Feng rolled his eyes:
"Why would I make them join Hung Hing?"
"I'm going to place them in my Security Company."
"Who the hell said running a Triad must be illegal?"
"Isn't running a legal Triad much better?"
Dai Kuen Pao was even more confused; was there such a thing as a legal Triad in Hong Kong?
However, he could certainly make a promise on this matter:
"No problem!"
Lin Feng chuckled:
"Thus, we have reached a consensus."
"I'll give you the intelligence, and after you take it back, please have the higher-ups evaluate it."
Dai Kuen Pao was already impatient:
"What intelligence is so serious?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"First, let's talk about the industrial mother machines that the Security Company sold to Big Mao."
"Because of the existence of COCOM, those industrial mother machines are actually controlled."
"In other words, according to procedures and regulations, such goods should not be prohibited from being exported to Big Mao."
Dai Kuen Pao was puzzled.
"Then the Security Company must have secretly violated the ban and sold them."
Lin Feng looked at him amused:
"Confused!"
Dai Kuen Pao stiffened.
"Don't forget, America is Okamoto's overlord. Does Okamoto have the guts to do such a thing?"
"The Security Company secretly selling industrial mother machines to Big Mao was actually at America's behest; it was merely a front."
Dai Kuen Pao forced a smile:
"That shouldn't be the case, should it?"
Lin Feng explained earnestly:
"This involves another piece of intelligence."
Dai Kuen Pao's spirits lifted:
"There's other intelligence?"
Lin Feng explained:
"Big Mao's military threat has always been a Damocles' sword hanging over the Western countries, and if it's not resolved, everyone will be restless."
"Western countries, represented by the Anglo-Saxon nations, are secretly plotting to promote ideological evolution in Big Mao."
"Big Mao's history is being denied, its heroes slandered, its historical leaders ridiculed, and even its own beliefs are being questioned."
"The Anglo-Saxon nations have allocated large amounts of funding to promote this evolutionary activity."
"I believe Mainland has the capability to investigate this."
"According to my latest intelligence, Big Mao has fallen for it; they are preparing to hire the father of shock therapy to implement shock therapy in Big Mao to save its economy."
Dai Kuen Pao was completely bewildered:
"What is that?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"You don't need to understand what kind of economic therapy it is; you just need to know the consequences."
Dai Kuen Pao asked with interest;
"What consequences?"
Lin Feng showed eight pearly white teeth:
"State-owned enterprises are plundered by private individuals, a large number of citizens go bankrupt, prices skyrocket, and people live in misery."
"Ultimately… the world's largest red regime completely collapses, splitting into more than a dozen large and small countries."
"The Anglo-Saxon nations' goal will be achieved!"
Dai Kuen Pao's expression changed drastically:
"This can't be, can it?"
"What country would be so stupid?"
Lin Feng sighed:
"If one were to review it afterwards, perhaps someone would indeed ask the soul-searching question: what country would be so foolish as to believe the enemy's nonsense?"
"Unfortunately, this is the truth."
"Who told Big Mao that he is essentially a white country?"
"You take this news back to Mainland, and Mainland will naturally know."
"Oh, and let's go back to the Security Company."
"Since he acted as a front, he should bear the responsibilities of a front."
"When America and Okamoto don't have conflicts, this front will be fine."
"But if there is a conflict of interest between the two sides, this front should be thrown out as the fuse for America to sanction Okamoto."
Dai Kuen Pao nodded slightly; this was not difficult to understand.
"Any other news?"
Lin Feng shook his head:
"Team Leader Shi, you really should improve your personal knowledge; you should have gone back immediately after learning these two pieces of information."
Dai Kuen Pao said guiltily:
"Are these two pieces of news that important?"
Lin Feng said naturally:
"Of course, it's important. This is the disintegration of the world's largest red regime, and Mainland naturally needs to make full preparations."
"And incidentally, gain sufficient profit from it."
Dai Kuen Pao's mouth hung open:
"Huh?"
Lin Feng was convinced. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"Alright, I'll give you a piece of news that your profession will definitely take seriously."
Dai Kuen Pao's spirits lifted:
"Mr. Lin, what news?"
Lin Feng said:
"The Anglo-Saxon homeland has sent a Military Intelligence Agency major named George to serve in the Police Force's Political Department. He bears a special order to launder money using traditional Anglo-Saxon commodities."
Dai Kuen Pao frowned:
"Traditional Anglo-Saxon commodities?"
Lin Feng's face was filled with disgust:
"White powder!"
Dai Kuen Pao's expression also turned grim, but he raised an appropriate question:
"He is an active police officer from the Political Department; how does he monetize?"
Lin Feng extended two fingers:
"First, all the white powder comes from the Police Force's seizures, which is essentially a no-cost business."
"Second, they are scouting Triads in Hong Kong. I know one of them is the Chung Ching Society."
Dai Kuen Pao was startled.
"So, when you took down the Chung Ching Society, you were actually trying to eliminate George's secret pawn?"
Lin Feng sneered non-stop:
"I absolutely detest drug traffickers."
"Sooner or later, I'll take out George too!"
Dai Kuen Pao was greatly alarmed and quickly advised:
"Mr. Lin, your status is noble; there's no need to contend with that drug dealer."
Lin Feng chuckled coldly.
Dai Kuen Pao quickly said:
"This information is critical; I need to go back and report to my superior."
Lin Feng watched him for a while, making Dai Kuen Pao uncomfortable:
"Mr. Lin, is there something wrong with me?"
Lin Feng sighed:
"If you go back to report and treat the last piece of information as the most important… trust me, you won't have an easy time."
Dai Kuen Pao was half-skeptical, but he truly dared not stay any longer.
"Mr. Lin, please arrange a car to take me part of the way. I need to return tonight."
Lin Feng smiled:
"I hope you'll still be in such good spirits when we meet next time."
Dai Kuen Pao clearly felt there was a hidden meaning in Lin Feng's words, but its implications were hard to grasp.
The journey was silent, and he managed to return just before the customs closed.
Then he drove at full speed, heading straight for the Guangdong Province Public Security Department.
After several hours of travel, he finally arrived and urgently requested to see his superior.
His superior asked:
"Did you see Mr. Lin?"
Unlike what Heung Yim thought, they had complete control over Sun Yee On.
However, they treated Lin Feng with respect.
The verbal address alone revealed the difference.
Dai Kuen Pao, no, Team Leader Shi reported:
"I saw him. Unexpectedly, Mr. Lin was very familiar with me."
His superior mused,
"This Mr. Lin is very well-informed."
Team Leader Shi smiled wryly:
"More than just well-informed."
"He told me several pieces of information; some I only half-understood."
"But he said they were very important."
"Some, I knew were extremely important the moment I heard them."
His superior smiled:
"Then what are you waiting for? Quickly tell me the information."
Team Leader Shi was about to reveal the information about George when he suddenly remembered Lin Feng's advice, and the words caught in his throat:
"There are these few pieces of information."
"Mainly concerning Russia, Okamoto, and Western countries."
"And the last one is about Hong Kong itself."
His superior's expression became serious, no longer relaxed:
"Mr. Lin's information is indeed well-informed; the scope and breadth of it exceed our expectations."
"Speak!"
Team Leader Shi then spoke about the machinery sold to Russia by a third party and Lin Feng's classification of that party as a white glove.
His superior nodded:
"Typical American way of doing things, always letting their subordinates take the lead, while they claim all the credit."
"They hit with a stick and then offer a poisoned carrot."
"What else?"
Team Leader Shi slowly composed himself, then recounted the Western countries' shock therapy trap aimed at Russia.
His superior suddenly stood up:
"Who else have you told this information to?"
Team Leader Shi smiled wryly:
"Chief, I haven't stopped since I left; I came straight to see you."
His superior took out his phone; Team Leader Shi watched with trepidation, it was red.
"This information is critical; you should report it directly to the Ministry."
A bead of cold sweat visibly appeared on Team Leader Shi's face.
Goodness, Lin Feng was right. He never expected the intelligence that seemed so muddled to him would be so valuable.
If he had really presented George's intelligence as the most important, he might have been reprimanded.
After nervously reporting the information to the high-ranking leader in the Ministry, the leader asked Team Leader Shi,
"Well done. For strategic-level intelligence like this, it's crucial to report it back immediately."
Team Leader Shi's heart was in turmoil; he could never have imagined this was strategic-level intelligence.
His superior was clearly in a very good mood:
"Does Mr. Lin have any other information?"
Team Leader Shi quickly said:
"There's one more, but it's local to Hong Kong. The Anglo-Saxon faction has sent a Military Intelligence Agency major named George, who now leads the Political Department of the Police Force."
"His main task is to launder black money for the Anglo-Saxons by controlling Hong Kong Triads."
"His most important method is exchanging white powder for cash."
His superior snorted coldly:
"A dog can't change its habit of eating shit."
Drug trafficking has been an ancestral skill of the Anglo-Saxons for hundreds of years.
His superior was a bit troubled:
"The information Mr. Lin provided is too important; we owe him a great favor."
Team Leader Shi quickly said:
"Mr. Lin said this information is not free."
His superior was astonished:
"What does Mr. Lin need? I'm poor; I don't have much money."
Team Leader Shi's mouth twitched, and he managed to suppress a smile before saying:
"Mr. Lin doesn't need money; he needs people."
His superior immediately laughed:
"We might not be able to provide money, but as for people, we'll give as many as he needs."
Team Leader Shi quickly said:
"Mr. Lin wants to establish a legitimate Triad. He needs retired comrades related to Li Fu, Wang Jianjun, and others."
His superior suddenly understood:
"So that's how it is."
If the Mainland truly wanted to investigate someone, it could turn their life upside down in minutes. Under a human wave tactic, it's very difficult to keep one's secrets.
As early as when Lin Feng came to the Mainland to invest, the Mainland's investigation into him had already begun.
The Mainland was well aware that Li Fu was aggressively recruiting people after returning from Hong Kong this time.
Team Leader Shi wasn't lying; the Mainland did help.
Otherwise, with Li Fu's efficiency, could he have sent the brothers Wang Jianjun and Wang Jianguo to Hong Kong within three days?
That's basically impossible!
His superior waved his hand:
"As a return favor, Mr. Lin gave us such a big surprise; we must give him a tangible return, no matter what."
"Go find Li Fu and ask him if he needs anything. We'll help as much as we can."
Team Leader Shi asked boldly:
"Is the information Mr. Lin sent really that important?"
His superior looked at Team Leader Shi in surprise:
"Don't tell me you don't know how important the information Mr. Lin sent is."
Team Leader Shi smiled wryly:
"You know, I'm more familiar with criminal investigation."
His superior sighed:
"Currently, the two largest red securities, besides Russia, are us."
"Russia can be considered a guiding light; we have basically walked the same path they have."
"Precisely because Russia is ahead, we can avoid too many mistakes."
"The difficulties Russia is currently experiencing are even more worthy of our vigilance."
"Russia's confusion, their response to difficult situations, and the Western countries' tactics against them—these are all excellent live teaching materials."
"This provides us with a vivid lesson."
"Furthermore, Russia's current plight may not necessarily be our opportunity."
"If shock therapy is truly implemented, it's also an opportunity for us."
"Our country needs to develop, and it requires a lot of funds. So, intervening at this time… some expenses will be resolved."
"Forget it, you don't need to understand these things in such detail. You just need to know that the intelligence Mr. Lin sent is very important."
"From now on, you will be the sole contact for Mr. Lin's line."
"Be careful with confidentiality."
Team Leader Shi was covered in sweat:
"Chief, some local Hong Kong police officers know about my contact with Mr. Lin."
His superior shook his head slightly:
"They know what they know; many people have connections with us."
"From now on, you can directly be responsible for contacting Mr. Lin."
"We must support entrepreneurs like Mr. Lin who are dedicated to building the motherland."
Team Leader Shi said softly:
"Mr. Lin despises George. He hates all drug traffickers, and when we parted, he even said he would take out George sooner or later."
His superior's gaze suddenly turned cold:
"Shi Bao, the one who takes out George would rather be Dai Kuen Pao than Mr. Lin."
Team Leader Shi loudly said:
"Yes!"

Chapter 110: Speak Up If You Want It (Part 1)
"Can't you take it easy, kid? Stop marrying so many wives." Liang Kun grumbled, puffing on a cigar. Well, the cigar box he had just pulled out was already in Lin Feng's pocket.
Lin Feng was very pleased:
"Where is there a Big Brother who doesn't want his younger brothers to live a happy life? You're actually telling me not to marry a wife? Is that something a Big Brother should say?"
"Do you believe I'll tell Godmother about this?"
Liang Kun was practically going crazy. He glanced nervously at his Old Mother, who was chatting happily with Fang Ting, and couldn't help but complain:
"Every time your wife comes, I suffer."
Lin Feng mocked him mercilessly:
"That's what you deserve. You've never been without women, yet you can't bring a single one home."
Liang Kun became even more depressed.
"It's a good thing that you bring your wife to see Old Mother."
"The problem is, can you stop changing wives so frequently?"
Lin Feng looked innocent:
"I haven't changed them. I've just married a few new wives."
Liang Kun grabbed at the air, extending and spreading his hands.
"You're going to infuriate me!"
"Think about it yourself. To give your sisters-in-law welcome gifts, you've already fleeced me out of several million, haven't you?"
Lin Feng pouted:
"If you've got the guts, marry some yourself. I have plenty of money, so fleece me all you want."
There was no way to continue this conversation!
Liang Kun was furious.
Lin Feng chuckled coldly:
"Even if I don't marry new wives, every time my wives come over, you'll still get scolded."
"Unless you also marry a wife."
"But just marrying a wife isn't enough. If you don't have as many wives as I do, you'll still get scolded."
"Unless..."
Liang Kun quickly asked:
"Unless what?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Unless you have a child before me."
"Old Mother is very traditional. She's always been worried that the two of us wouldn't find wives."
"Now she's worried that you won't find anyone, and that I won't have children."
"Actually, the old lady just wants grandchildren."
"But truthfully, our positions in Old Mother's heart are pretty similar, but you're her biological son."
"While my wives talking with her makes the old lady happy, wouldn't she be even happier if you brought a wife home?"
Liang Kun scoffed:
"How is that so easy?"
Lin Feng said indifferently:
"Throw away the 'fire extinguishers' around you and find a good girl from a decent family to be with."
"You're not bad-looking, you have money, are you still afraid you can't find a good girl?"
"I'm seriously worried that one day you'll catch AIDS from one of those 'fire extinguishers' around you."
Liang Kun spat fiercely, then sighed heavily.
It was very undignified for a Big Brother to be scolded by his younger brother.
However, who told him he didn't have a wife? He could only be scolded by his younger brother and couldn't fight back.
It was incredibly frustrating.
Liang Kun wisely changed the subject:
"Last night's negotiations yielded results."
"Our Hung Hing got a few things. The territory on Hong Kong Island, which other Triads didn't want, is now ours."
Lin Feng was not at all surprised:
"Hong Kong Island is the most economically powerful place in Hong Kong. It's either government offices, headquarters of major enterprises, or outright rich neighborhoods."
"Which Triad would be crazy enough to want such territory?"
"Just like Tung Sing still occupies Victoria Peak, what do they dare to do?"
Liang Kun nodded:
"Kowloon Walled City is a hot commodity. Chiang Tin-Sung thought about it and simply didn't take it. That area was divided between Sun Luen Shing and Tung Sing."
"Actually, Kowloon Walled City could have been taken," Lin Feng mused. "It's not about the small profit, but about the manpower."
"Everyone knows that Kowloon Walled City is very chaotic at this stage, and it also has the best manpower."
"If we look long-term, Kowloon Walled City will be redeveloped sooner or later."
"Controlling that place means controlling an opportunity to get rich overnight."
Lin Feng said everything he had to say.
Liang Kun listened with a frown. He knew that this younger brother had been studying for several years, and his insights were completely different from before. It was never wrong to listen to him on these matters.
"The struggle for Kowloon Walled City was too intense. Chiang Tin-Sung had no choice but to let go."
"We're not without territory in Kowloon Walled City. Xi Gou's hall is there."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"You and I are not the Dragon Head of Hung Hing. Such matters are naturally for the Dragon Head to consider."
Liang Kun suddenly said:
"Let me tell you something. After the negotiations ended yesterday, on the way back, Chiang Tin-Sung told me that he would hand Hung Hing over to me in the future."
Lin Feng chuckled:
"Who was in the car with you at the time?"
Liang Kun laughed:
"Chan Yiu."
Lin Feng scoffed:
"Just pretend you didn't hear it."
"Chan Yiu is Chiang Tin-Sung's echo."
"His mouth isn't his own; it's Chiang Tin-Sung's."
Liang Kun shrugged:
"I'm not a three-year-old child, nor is it my first day in the underworld. I naturally know what's going on."
"However, what I want is Chiang Tin-Sung's stance."
"Tai Zi and Hon Ban both privately asked me if Chiang Tin-Sung had some leverage over me, and why I'm different now than before..."
Lin Feng burst out laughing.
Liang Kun used to be very carefree. Even when he was on good terms with everyone, he was still exceptionally carefree and had never been so inclined towards one person.
Hung Hing also had the Twelve Hall Masters sharing power with the Dragon Head. The Hall Masters had great power, which was also one of the reasons why the Hall Masters didn't listen much to Chiang Tin-Sung.
Of course, this 'not listening much' was relative.
Chiang Tin-Sung was the Dragon Head, and when he spoke with the greater good of the Triad in mind, they naturally had to listen.
It was just that they wouldn't follow the Dragon Head's footsteps as closely as other Triads.
Liang Kun's recent close relationship with Chiang Tin-Sung, their unusual connection, naturally aroused the suspicions of Tai Zi and Hon Ban.
"The fact that those two can ask you directly means they genuinely care about you."
Liang Kun shrugged:
"I know that."
"But there are some things I can't tell them."
Lin Feng shook his head:
"No, no. If you want it, just say it."
Liang Kun's body stiffened:
"Say it? Won't Chiang Tin-Sung think I'm trying to usurp his position?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Are you afraid of him?"
Liang Kun's expression suddenly became excited.
"With your support, what the hell am I afraid of?"
"When do we start the war?"
Lin Feng was astonished:
"Are you really trying to rebel against Chiang Tin-Sung?"
Liang Kun said awkwardly:
"It seems I misunderstood!"
Lin Feng said, both annoyed and amused:
"What are you thinking? Yau Tsim Mong is a trinity. Some things don't need to be hidden from them."
"But when you speak, you need to make it clear that if Mr. Chiang doesn't want to be the Dragon Head, you want to be."
"Explain to them clearly that if this Dragon Head position isn't held by someone from the Chiang family, then you will contend for it."
Liang Kun immediately felt it was meaningless.
"Tch, I thought we were going to fight!"
Lin Feng sighed:
"We're in this business to make money. What's the point of fighting and killing?"
Liang Kun eyed him askance:
"Someone's mouth speaks righteously, yet in just seven or eight days, he crippled one hall, made a large Triad vomit blood, and delisted another large Triad..."
"What a 'what's the point of fighting and killing,' what a 'Ghost of Sorrows' that makes everyone cry!"
Lin Feng angrily said:
"Who the hell gave me such a lousy nickname?"
Liang Kun also laughed:
"Ghost of Sorrows isn't bad, it's quite fitting."
Lin Feng asked:
"How are the cinema matters progressing?"
Liang Kun shrugged:
"In a while."
"Our actions have been a bit too big these past two days; we're practically the center of the underworld's vortex..."
"We've been too high-profile."
"Everyone, from top to bottom, is a bit worried."
Traditional Triads are run like businesses, seeking long-term, steady trade.
Get-rich-quick schemes, like drug trafficking or arms dealing, are completely outside their consideration.
Therefore, blending in and not attracting attention is best.
Who would have thought that in just seven or eight days, such major events would happen to Hung Hing, making them the center of the Triad's vortex?
It was somewhat inconsistent with the Triad's usual approach.
"There's no other way. We don't cause trouble; trouble finds us. Things just piled up, what can we do?"
Lin Feng's gaze turned cold.
"Which gossipy person brought this up?"
Liang Kun spat:
"Who the hell would dare?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Then that's that."
Liang Kun chuckled:
"Look at Hung Hing's recent profits. If anyone dared to say such a thing, those Hall Masters would probably tear his mouth off."
The Xi B extermination case exposed the traitor Fatty Lai, who was an inside job, and most importantly, Tung Sing bled profusely, providing them with sufficient compensation.
This increased the strength of the Hall Masters, more or less.
Big D wants to bring capital into the group, bringing the Tsuen Wan branch to Hung Hing. This is equivalent to opening up a new source of income for all the Hall Masters. Who would object? Who would dare to object?
Devouring the Chung Ching Society not only gave them face but also substance. Hung Hing also made a fortune.
Especially the last one, it even eased the tense relationship with Tung Sing.
Chiang Tin-Sung even lamented that Lin Feng was a lucky general.
Which of these could they abandon?
What's wrong with being at the center of a whirlpool? In any case, they genuinely reaped the benefits.
The only downside was probably that if they wanted to cooperate with other Triads, others would have to be more cautious and wary of them.
"This period is perfect for staying away from trouble and focusing on our business," Lin Feng reminded.
"Whether it's movie theaters, minibuses, or other businesses, they all need deep cultivation and time."
"We are here to make money, not to contend for empty fame or engage in fights."
"Isn't it even better if they ignore us?"
Liang Kun chuckled, "You're right."
As the two brothers chatted happily, the Old Mother came to them, holding Fang Ting's hand.
The two brothers quickly threw away the cigars in their hands.
"Ting Ting is now part of our family. Ah Feng, you must treat her well."
Lin Feng, with his sharp eyes, noticed a vibrant green bracelet on Fang Ting's wrist. "Godmother, that thing…"
Liang Kun exclaimed, "Old Mother, wasn't that what you wore on your hand?"
The Old Mother's eyes narrowed with a smile. "I like Ting Ting, so I gave her the bracelet."
Lin Feng gave Fang Ting a thumbs-up, and she looked slightly pleased.
The Old Mother loved her bracelet; it was her favorite, not for its value, but simply because she liked it.
"This bracelet was given to me by Ah Feng eight years ago. I've worn it close to me, and now I can finally entrust it to someone I trust."
Liang Kun scratched his head. "Old Mother, Ah Feng has eight wives. You just gave this to my sister-in-law?"
The Old Mother glared at him fiercely, and Liang Kun felt particularly guilty. "You still say that? Ah Feng already has eight wives, and you haven't brought a single one home for me."
Liang Kun wished he could slap himself for having such a loose tongue.
The Old Mother, holding Fang Ting's hand, made no secret of her favoritism. "Ah Feng's other wives are all good and take good care of me, but their families don't lack this kind of thing."
"Ting Ting is different; her experience is somewhat similar to mine."
"Ah Feng, you must treat her well."
Lin Feng nodded repeatedly. "Godmother, don't worry. Once I bring her home, I will love her wholeheartedly, protect her, and treat her well."
The Old Mother clearly trusted Lin Feng more. She placed Fang Ting's hand in Lin Feng's, looking more and more satisfied. "What a perfectly matched young couple."
Fang Ting showed a happy smile.
The Old Mother's gaze shifted to Liang Kun, and her expression suddenly changed.
Everyone could feel that the Old Mother was very angry.
Liang Kun panicked. "Old Mother, I didn't upset you, did I?"
The Old Mother ignored Liang Kun and gently said to Lin Feng, "Ah Feng, you did well."
"You are a man. When you marry a woman, besides making her feel secure, you must also make her family feel secure."
"Go, go meet Ting Ting's family."
As she spoke, she actually shooed all three of them out.
Liang Kun said speechlessly, "Old Mother, I don't need to go to my sister-in-law's house. Why are you kicking me out?"
The Old Mother sneered, "If you don't bring a wife home for me, you don't need to come here anymore."
Bang!
The door closed.
The three left outside looked at each other.
Lin Feng complained, "I told you to quickly bring a sister-in-law home, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what happened?"
"Even we are implicated by you!"
As he spoke, he nudged Fang Ting, who immediately understood.
"Ah Feng, it's alright. Next time we come, we'll be together, and I'll knock on the door. Godmother will definitely open it."
Liang Kun stared dumbfounded at the couple. "You two, don't go too far. I am your big brother after all."
Fang Ting playfully said, "Not necessarily."
Liang Kun asked curiously, "What's not necessarily?"
Fang Ting chuckled, "Ah Feng and I are planning to have a child. If you don't hurry up, your future children will have to call our children big brother."
Liang Kun was struck by a heavy blow!
Lin Feng burst into laughter.
It took Liang Kun a long time to recover. "You two… are truly a match made in heaven, always trying to annoy me!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
Lin Feng and his wife laughed even more happily!
A group of people went downstairs. When it was time to part ways, Liang Kun asked, "You really don't need me to go?"
Lin Feng shrugged. "You never wanted to go with me before… Could it be that you want to familiarize yourself with the process first?"
Liang Kun spat fiercely, unable to stand it any longer, and quickly left.
Only Lin Feng's loud laughter remained!
Wang Jianguo has now settled down; his workplace is the Security Company in Causeway Bay, essentially Lin Feng's dedicated driver. As for the Blue-haired Kid, Lin Feng has assigned him to the Security Company to be with Wang Jianjun.
Fang Ting instinctively felt strange. "This isn't the way home, is it?"
Lin Feng held her hand and said, "No rush to go home, we need to see someone first."
Fang Ting asked curiously, "Didn't we just see Godmother?"
Lin Feng said softly, "Not my side, but your stepmother, Aunt Ling."
Fang Ting suddenly froze.
Lin Feng explained, "Your brother followed Yip Tin to learn skills, which made your Aunt Ling misunderstand."
"She moved into the apartment that Li Sir helped her rent."
"She is disappointed."
Fang Ting still found it hard to believe. "Aunt Ling is very good to us, how could she misunderstand?"
Lin Feng explained, "Your brother's notebook was full of 'I, Fong Chin-Bor, want to get rich,' and his walkman also had the same recording."
"Aunt Ling was concerned about him, so she followed him to Yip Tin's dilapidated house."
"When she saw Fong Chin-Bor playing games with the confused Yip Tin, she mistakenly thought Fong Chin-Bor was beyond redemption. Disheartened, she moved out."
Fang Ting didn't know what to say after hearing that.
"Actually… you can't blame Zhan Bo for this."
Lin Feng nodded slightly. "Indeed, you can't blame him. That kid has suffered a lot and hasn't received an education."
"However, he has an incredible memory. For any stock he studies, he can clearly calculate a day's prices."
"He can be considered a genius."
"I plan to have him study with Yip Tin for a while, and once he achieves something, I'll have him join Tao Tao's team for some experience."
"Someone has to carry on Father-in-law's name."
Fang Ting exclaimed, "Can Zhan Bo inherit Father's name?"
Fong Chun-San was known as the Stock King by Yip Tin.
"Yes, he has that ability."
"It's just that he didn't receive a proper education when he was little…"
Fang Ting quickly asked, "Is it too late to make up for it now?"
Lin Feng pointed to himself. "The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, the second best time is now."
"If you truly strive, it's never too late."
"It just depends on whether you want to."
"I am the best example."
"When I was young, I didn't have the conditions. Later, I followed Brother Kun. He told me to study, but I didn't have the heart for it."
"At that time, how could I focus on studying? All I thought about was making money."
"Later, Brother Kun became the Chairman, and then things gradually stabilized. He let me do my own thing, and I felt a sense of lacking, which was a lack of knowledge."
"That's when I decided to study."
"Think about it, it's been over three years."
At this point, he smiled at Fang Ting and said,
"When you talk to me, do you feel like I're someone who hasn't gone to school?"
Fang Ting honestly shook her head. "I feel like you are a well-read scholar, capable of guiding me very well in life."
Wang Jianguo subconsciously looked in the rearview mirror and secretly gave a thumbs-up to the boss's wife.
Which man could resist such words?
Lin Feng subtly glared at Wang Jianguo, who then drove obediently.
Soon, they arrived at the apartment Li Sir rented for Aunt Ling.
Aunt Ling opened the door, quite surprised. "Ting Ting… How did you know I was here?"
Fang Ting smiled, pulling Lin Feng's hand as they entered the door. "Stepmother, I've come to bring you good news."
