Chapter 173: Binny Hu's Ambition
Hon Ban was stunned by Lin Feng's large appetite:
"Is it really that ruthless?"
"One hundred million?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"This is the maximum amount for each of our procurements."
"Any more, and we'll encounter resistance."
Liang Kun asked curiously:
"Our Mainland wouldn't be unable to supply even one hundred million worth of light industrial products, would it?"
Lin Feng sneered:
"You know too little about our Mainland. Our Mainland doesn't lack factories; it only lacks capital. When you have time, you should visit our Mainland more often."
"The difficulty I'm talking about isn't in our Mainland, but in Western countries."
Liang Kun was surprised:
"What does this have to do with Western countries?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"The big bear is now regarded by them as a meal on a plate. Let me put it this way: the Anglo-Saxon countries and other big Western countries are already seated at the table. They are elegantly wielding their knives and forks, wanting to carve up and devour the big bear."
"Their game is far more sophisticated than ours."
"And the harvest, naturally, is beyond anything we can compare to."
"If we smuggle, at most it'll be a few billion at the top."
"But what they're making is…"
Lin Feng spread his hands and didn't continue.
Hon Ban and Liang Kun looked at each other, both stunned.
Liang Kun quickly wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth:
"Ah Feng, your ambition is too big."
"A few billion… and you say 'only'?"
"If we personally earn a few billion, we'd definitely be counted among the richest in Hong Kong."
"No wonder you told Binny this is a good opportunity for class ascension…"
"Binny, I don't care how much you invest, I want to increase my share. I want to invest forty million hong kong dollar."
After being startled by Lin Feng, Hon Ban was then startled by Liang Kun:
"Ah Kun, are you crazy? Are you going all-in?"
Liang Kun shrugged:
"Forty million is the maximum capital I can use, after all, I still have many projects that need money."
Hon Ban's eyes widened:
"Ah Kun, you're that rich?"
Lin Feng said coolly:
"Yes, my boss is rich, otherwise where would he get so much money for someone to run drugs?"
Liang Kun said awkwardly:
"Is this matter never going to pass?"
"I just lent it to Ba Bi to use, I didn't tell him to run drugs."
"Alright, I was wrong."
Lin Feng said no more.
Hon Ban didn't care about the little banter between Liang Kun and his brother; he was shocked by Liang Kun's wealth:
"Ah Kun, if I remember correctly, you're also building cinemas, and you're building mini-bus companies…"
Liang Kun sighed:
"So, forty million is the most money I can use."
He was Lin Feng's boss after all, and Lin Feng would always invite Liang Kun whenever there was an investment opportunity.
Whether Liang Kun followed or not was not something Lin Feng could decide. He knew one thing: he couldn't force his goodwill on others.
There are countless foolish people in the world who believe that what they do is for the other person's good.
But they never thought about one thing—does the other person need your goodwill?
People are independent individuals. Everyone thinks and has their own thoughts. What makes you so sure that something thought from your perspective is good for others?
Lin Feng was like this not only with Liang Kun but with his other brothers as well.
Whatever Li Fu, Wang Jianjun, and Lok Tin-hung did, as long as it didn't harm Lin Feng's interests, he never forced anything.
This is the secret to getting along with people.
Although Liang Kun loved money like his life and was extremely responsible for every investment, he had, after all, seen many of Lin Feng's investments. Some of the more unorthodox ones he couldn't understand and thus didn't follow suit.
But some investments, he truly did follow.
By now, he had accumulated such a large family fortune, which in the eyes of others was immensely vast, but compared to Lin Feng, it was truly insignificant.
Lin Feng's behavior after earning money baffled Liang Kun.
In the beginning, Lin Feng didn't earn as much money as he does now, but once he had money, he would buy property.
New Territories, Yuen Long, Sai Kung, he specifically chose newly built units.
When he had more money, he would buy in Yau Tsim Mong, Wan Chai, and Hong Kong Island.
He was practically like a miser.
Liang Kun also tried to persuade Lin Feng, but the latter told him a bunch of things about houses being a basic necessity.
If he couldn't persuade him, then he just stopped trying.
However, this year he truly regretted it!
A large portion of the money Liang Kun earned went down the drain, but Lin Feng's assets grew steadily every year.
Not to mention anything else, just Lin Feng's rental income from properties amounted to tens of millions every year!
How could anyone compare to that?
It was only because it was Lin Feng, and because Lin Feng had told Liang Kun about every single one of his investments. If it had been anyone else, Liang Kun would have devoured him without a trace.
After three years of torment, Liang Kun finally recognized a fact—when it came to making money, he couldn't even hold a candle to Lin Feng.
Liang Kun would still refuse extremely unorthodox investments, but he didn't want to miss out on normal business opportunities in the slightest.
Smuggling light industrial products to the big bear sounded promising, and Liang Kun absolutely didn't want to miss it.
What about forty million?
Even if all forty million were lost, he would still have his Mong Kok turf, movie theater chains, mini-bus routes, and of course, most importantly, his VCD shares to support him.
This was Liang Kun's confidence to go all-in.
Unlike buying gambling products, this was a tangible profit that Liang Kun could see through calculation. If he missed such an opportunity, such a thing, then all his years of doing business would have been in vain.
Hon Ban asked incredulously:
"Are you two really going to invest this much?"
Liang Kun pulled out his cigar case, and then his hand lightened as the cigar case fell into Lin Feng's hand, and a familiar voice came,
"Where does a big boss personally distribute cigars? I'll do it."
Liang Kun reluctantly took the cigar that Lin Feng had prepared, then watched helplessly as the cigar box was calmly tucked into the latter's pocket, now bearing Lin's name.
He took a deep puff of his cigar.
"Binny, this is an opportunity."
"You are the giant of international smuggling in our Hung Hing. I don't need to tell you about the exorbitant profits from smuggling, do I?"
"The big bear in the North is extremely short of light industrial products. As long as they are transported there, they will sell."
"With such an opportunity before you, aren't you tempted?"
Hon Ban smiled bitterly:
"What can the big bear offer in return?"
Liang Kun looked at Lin Feng, who shrugged:
"A lot."
"Various ores, various heavy industrial products. If you're bolder, transporting oil to our Mainland is also possible."
"If these things still don't satisfy you, the big bear is one of the two superpowers. Things like planes, tanks, cannons, destroyers… can also be discussed."
Liang Kun and Hon Ban nearly dropped their cigars.
"Ah Feng, are you joking?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Trading light industrial products for planes, does it sound very mysterious?"
"But in reality, it truly can be done."
The two Hung Hing bosses stared at him intently:
"Really?"
Lin Feng said directly:
"The big bear's products are very popular, but our Mainland is not suitable for movement in some areas."
"So…"
"If you want to build good relations with our Mainland, you could try being a middleman and selling certain planes back to our Mainland."
"Hmm, if you can manage it."
"You know what I'm talking about."
Liang Kun waved his hand:
"That's something for after we successfully establish ties with the big bear."
"It's too early to talk about that now."
Hon Ban's eyes lit up.
Completely different from Liang Kun and Lin Feng's carefree attitude, Binny Hu was very anxious.
Everyone in the underworld knew our Mainland's attitude towards Triads. Thanks to the Foreigner's terrifying propaganda, these people regarded our Mainland as a hellish terror.
They generally didn't want to return to our Mainland.
But Hong Kong would be returned in less than ten years.
So the question arose… what would happen after the return?
Ordinary Triad members couldn't see such long-term matters. Hon Ban was different; he had an international perspective and could see things far into the future.
And then he became anxious.
Lin Feng and Liang Kun weren't anxious because they had substantial investments in our Mainland, as well as significant contributions to charity and education.
He, Hon Ban, had no connection whatsoever with our Mainland.
If he didn't find a way to improve his relationship with our Mainland soon, Hon Ban probably wouldn't be able to sleep soundly.
He was truly scared.
Hon Ban had no connections for traditional businesses. Even if he used Lin Feng's connections, our Mainland might not value it.
But if he could truly do as Lin Feng said… at this moment, Hon Ban's eyes suddenly sharpened. Binny Hu was about to show his prowess.
"I'll invest forty million too!"
Liang Kun laughed heartily:
"I knew you had that kind of courage."
Lin Feng was helpless:
"Then I can only reduce my share. I've said it before, our imports to the Great Bear of the North can at most be 100 million hong kong dollar at a time."
"Both of you Big Bosses take 40% each, I'll just invest 20 million then."
Liang Kun shrugged:
"I'll reduce my share by 10 million and give you a bit more."
Hon Ban immediately said:
"How can we let Ah Feng suffer a loss? I'll also reduce my share by 10 million. How about Ah Feng invests 40 million?"
"The profits will be distributed according to our investment proportions."
Lin Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry:
"You two Big Bosses, there's no need to be so modest. I'm not primarily involved in smuggling..."
Liang Kun was worried Lin Feng would lose out. What was Hon Ban up to?
He had invested a massive smuggling team, yet he was getting the smallest share of the profits?
Hon Ban said seriously:
"I want to build a good relationship with the Mainland. I'm very interested in the prospect you mentioned."
"Of course, I will absolutely not harm the interests of you two. Please rest assured on that point."
Liang Kun heard this and immediately said:
"Ah Feng, a gentleman helps others achieve their goals. Since Benny has this intention, it's only right for us to help him as good brothers."
Lin Feng laughed and scolded:
"You two really are... I've never seen anyone so eagerly come forward to give me money."
"Alright, I'll accept it."
Hon Ban said loudly:
"Someone, bring out my treasured Port wine."
Liang Kun said delightedly:
"I've always heard that Benny you have a bottle of 5,000 hong kong dollar wine. I've wanted to drink it for a long time."
"Today I'll finally get to savor it."
Binny Hu was very generous,
"Today, let's finish it."
Everyone happily raised their glasses and drank a toast with gusto, completely victorious!
Liang Kun felt a little pained:
"Oh, such good wine should be savored slowly."
Hon Ban laughed:
"If I go back to the Mainland next time, I'll dig up some wine from there. That wine is much more invigorating for a toast."
Lin Feng nodded repeatedly:
"Benny is absolutely right."
"A good wine worth 5,000 a bottle, and it still needs to be decanted... That's too much of a bother."
Hon Ban and Liang Kun were speechless.
Let alone a 5,000 a bottle red wine, even a 10,000 a bottle one still needs to be decanted.
Lin Feng stood up and said:
"I'm very busy lately and don't have time to go back to the Mainland, but no matter who goes back, the Big Boss said that as long as we don't transport contraband, they will give us the green light all the way."
He pulled out a check, quickly filled it out, and handed it to Liang Kun,
"My 40 million, you can withdraw it anytime."
"You two Big Bosses, I'm leaving first."
Liang Kun said to Lin Feng,
"Please make one for 30 million hong kong dollar. I don't have that much clean money."
Lin Feng didn't mind. He quickly pulled out another check, wrote his name on it, and handed it to Liang Kun. Then he simply asked Hon Ban:
"Benny, do you want one?"
He really played it up!
Hon Ban's mouth slightly agape, shocked by Lin Feng's terrifying financial power. His answer was decisive:
"Yes!"
Lin Feng pulled out a check for the third time, signed another one for 30 million hong kong dollar, and handed it to Hon Ban:
"Benny, how do you plan to repay it?"
"If it's dirty money, I'll only take a 10% cut."
"If you repay it with smuggling profits, I'll only take a 5% cut."
Hon Ban said decisively:
"A little later, I'll have Do Chai King send the money to you."
At this moment, nothing was more convincing than real money, and at this moment, Hon Ban decisively chose the dirty money.
Lin Feng laughed loudly:
"Benny, a wise choice."
"You two Big Bosses, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first."
Liang Kun asked:
"You rascal, what is it?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Didn't Brother Chang of Wo Luen Shing ask me to do something before?"
"It's only right to see things through from beginning to end."
Hon Ban suddenly said:
"Today you withdrew the bounty for Mr. Chiang's shooting... Why?"
Lin Feng sat back down,
"Actually, there's no special reason, it's just that the guy who orchestrated Mr. Chiang's shooting died."
Hon Ban was startled:
"He died?"
Lin Feng mocked:
"Yes, he died, executed by firing squad by the sea."
"It was quite tragic."
Hon Ban was startled:
"This... Richard?"
Lin Feng sighed:
"Benny, I didn't do it."
"Richard is a Foreign Superintendent after all, I don't want to cause trouble with Hung Hing."
Hon Ban didn't believe him.
This was too much of a coincidence, wasn't it?
Lin Feng was too lazy to say much. Whether you believe it or not, it's not a problem.
Anyway, he was too lazy to explain.
Whether they believed him or not, it was beneficial to him.
He would have to be out of his mind to explain.
Lin Feng waved his hand:
"Xiao Fu, let's go!"
Chicken, Mo Chiu-Nam, and Do Chai King all stood up to respectfully see them off.
Watching Lin Feng and Li Fu leave, Hon Ban frowned and said:
"This matter... was it really not Ah Feng who did it?"
Liang Kun said impatiently:
"Didn't Ah Feng say it wasn't him who did it?"
"Actually, whether he did it or not, does it matter?"
"The most crucial thing is whether it will affect the Triad, that's what's most important."
Hon Ban nodded repeatedly.
Liang Kun was absolutely right. If it wouldn't implicate the Triad, then what if Lin Feng did it?
However, Lin Feng's image grew even taller in Hon Ban's eyes.
Sitting in the car, Lin Feng called Lam Yiu-cheung:
"Brother Chang, we agreed before, Ah Tim is mine now."
Lam Yiu-cheung didn't hesitate in the slightest:
"No problem at all."
Lin Feng said:
"I'm having Lok Chi-ming work with me."
Lam Yiu-cheung laughed loudly:
"Ah Feng, if only you were the Hall Master of my Sun Luen Shing... I'll have Ah Lok go find you right away."
Not long after hanging up, Lin Feng received a call from Lok Chi-ming:
"Brother Feng, Brother Chang ordered me to follow you and work."
Lin Feng instructed:
"Wait for me in Kowloon Walled City."
Lok Chi-ming nodded in affirmation.
Li Fu frowned and said:
"Brother Feng, you don't need to handle this yourself, do you?"
Lin Feng shook his head slightly:
"I'm not taking action, I'm eliminating hidden dangers."
Li Fu was stunned.
Lin Feng asked:
"Everyone says that when you're out in the world, it's for making money, so what's beyond making money?"
Li Fu shook his head.
Lin Feng said directly:
"When prosperous, help the world; when poor, cultivate oneself."
"Hong Kong is my Mainland, where I grew up. I cannot watch it be corrupted by drugs."
"Hong Kong needs stability."
"It doesn't need any damned Foreigner."
"I've said it, whoever deals drugs, I'll send them to hell."
Li Fu was still puzzled:
"But we don't need to do it ourselves, Ah Tian is after all a Hall Master of Sun Luen Shing."
"Now that our two Triads have a good relationship, it's not a big deal."
"But in the future... it's hard to say."
Lin Feng said calmly:
"Do you know Lok Chi-ming's identity?"
Li Fu nodded:
"Yes, he is Superintendent Lo Chung-lun's informant."
Lin Feng's voice sounded very indifferent:
"Lok Chi-ming is an undercover agent, even if he served three years in prison for Lam Yiu-cheung, he is still an undercover agent."
"I investigated the incident back then. Sun Luen Shing made a mistake during the forced demolition."
"A little girl died."
"From Lam Yiu-cheung and others' perspective, this was a slip-up during work."
"But from an outsider's perspective, it was an accident."
"Lok Chi-ming is different. He doesn't think it was an accident; he thinks it was his fault, that he didn't prevent such a thing, and this is a crime he committed."
Li Fu exclaimed:
"Lok Chi-ming is repenting for his crimes, willingly going to prison for three years?"
Lin Feng nodded:
"Yes."
Li Fu frowned: "But in that case, even if he completes his mission, he won't be able to return to the Police Force."
"Is it worth doing this?"
Lin Feng retorted:
"When you went to the battlefield back then, did you think about whether it was worth it?"
Li Fu shook his head:
"No, that was a glorious thing."
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"You're not wrong, Lok Chi-ming also wouldn't think about whether it's worth it. Someone who can go undercover in Wo Hing Shing is no ordinary person."
"They must have some ideals."
"You say police officers only make a few thousand dollars a month, why do they risk their lives so much?"
"Without some ideals, it can't be done."
Li Fu vaguely grasped Lin Feng's thoughts:
"Brother Feng, you want to make..."
Lin Feng said expressionlessly:
"Lok Chi-ming is a good police officer, but he's currently involved with a Triad."
"What I want to do is make sure he can never turn back."
"Lo Chung-lun was killed by people Ah Tian found at Richard's instigation. I'm giving Lok Chi-ming a chance to personally get revenge."
"He'll even have to thank me!"
***
Chapter 174: Eliminating Hidden Dangers!
Lok Chi-ming was waiting outside Kowloon Walled City early.
By the late 1980s and early 1990s, the legendary Kowloon Walled City was long gone.
The jurisdiction of Kowloon Walled City had never truly been under the control of the Foreigner, but neither Mainland nor Taiwan had any interest in creating an enclave surrounded by the Foreigner.
The Foreigner dared not disregard these two, so Kowloon Walled City was actually administered by the Foreigner on their behalf.
This was the root cause of the chaos in Kowloon Walled City.
Anarchy is always a place of disorder.
This was the Triad's favorite place; nothing else, order was essentially established by the Triad. Teenagers born here, seeing and hearing, too many joined the Triad.
All major Triads had a branch here, even if it only occupied half a street.
As one of the Top Ten Gangs, Sun Luen Shing also had a branch here, which was currently managed by Ah Tim.
In a place like Kowloon Walled City, not opening an underground casino, not lending at high interest, and not dabbling in 'colorful' things would truly be a waste of such a good place.
Lam Yiu-cheung himself disliked drug trafficking, so Ah Tim, even if he wanted to, dared not. Instead, he mainly sold ecstasy and similar drugs.
He made Kowloon Walled City quite lively.
For example, every night, there were boxing matches, or underground boxing matches.
The large crowds were a major source of income for Sun Luen Shing.
When the three entered, they immediately felt several scrutinizing gazes.
Lin Feng glared fiercely back:
"Haven't you seen the Big Boss?"
When those subordinates saw it was him, they quickly came to pay their respects:
"Brother Feng, Ah Lok, Brother Fu..."
Lin Feng asked boldly:
"Where is Ah Tim?"
The subordinate quickly replied:
"The boss is upstairs... I'll go inform him."
Lin Feng shook his head:
"No need, we'll just go up."
Lin Feng was not a member of Sun Luen Shing, but he was indeed a prominent figure in the underworld. Though young, he was also Hung Hing's most famous Straw Sandal and the Causeway Bay branch leader.
Coupled with his previous visits to Kowloon Walled City, those subordinates naturally knew that this'sir' was specially invited by Dragon Head Lam Yiu-cheung from Hung Hing.
Naturally, whatever he said, went.
Lok Chi-ming led the way, bypassing the noisy boxing ring and heading straight to the second floor, where Ah Tim's office was located.
When the three pushed the door open, Ah Tim was sleeping. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he suddenly sprang up from the sofa, his face filled with panic.
When he saw Lin Feng and the other two arrive, he forced a smile:
"Brother Feng, Ah Lok..."
"You're here, why didn't you say something in advance?"
Lin Feng sighed, sat down boldly, and said very directly:
"I didn't dare to say it in advance."
Ah Tim's smile became even more strained:
"Brother Feng is joking..."
Lin Feng shook his head and said very seriously:
"I was afraid you'd run away!"
Ah Tim stopped smiling.
Lin Feng asked:
"Did you see today's news?"
Ah Tim gave a dry laugh:
"I don't understand what Brother Feng means."
Lin Feng pointed a finger at him:
"No, you do."
"You know what I'm talking about... You know about Richard's death, right?"
"You must have witnessed the manner of his death."
"Killed during an execution, hands and feet restrained, shot from above, bang, through the head, instantly dead!"
Ah Tim's face changed.
"Richard has always targeted Sun Luen Shing. As one of the Sun Luen Shing Five Tigers, you should know."
"Brother Chang's purpose in inviting me here is to investigate the guy Richard seduced. You should know who he is."
"Richard died so miserably, I wonder, are you so scared you can't sleep?"
"Look at your dark circles. The last time I saw you, they weren't this bad."
Ah Tim said expressionlessly:
"I just didn't rest well..."
"Now I need to rest, Brother Feng, please leave."
Lin Feng said indifferently:
"When I came here, I told you all—whoever colludes with Richard, I believe Sun Luen Shing's family rules are not the most terrifying."
"Do you remember that sentence?"
Ah Tim became impatient:
"I said I want to rest..."
Bang!
Ah Tim was speechless.
Li Fu stepped forward and delivered a side kick, cutting off Ah Tim's words.
Lok Chi-ming was startled:
"Brother Fu, you just act without warning."
Li Fu said coldly:
"Brother Feng was kindly speaking to this kid, that was giving him face."
"If he doesn't want face, then he doesn't have to."
Ah Tim angrily said:
"This is my territory, how dare you hit me?"
Waving his fists, he lunged at Li Fu.
However, he overestimated his own skills and underestimated Li Fu's strength.
Bang!
With a loud thud, Ah Tim was kicked to the ground again, this time curling up on the floor.
Lok Chi-ming was surprised by Li Fu's strength:
"Brother Fu, is Ah Tim alright?"
Li Fu shrugged:
"Don't worry, at most it's a serious injury. How could he die so easily?"
Lok Chi-ming immediately stopped asking.
He felt like Li Fu was like a bandit at this moment—it was a pity he hadn't seen Wang Jianjun in action, then he would definitely know how gentle Li Fu's current actions were.
Lin Feng extended his hand, and Li Fu immediately pulled out a file bag, which had been in the car since earlier.
Slap!
The file bag was flung onto Ah Tim's face by Lin Feng.
"Richard brought you into that Golden Club, and you were captivated."
"You watched the elites entering and exiting the club, and your mind was in a daze."
"You thought that as long as you followed Richard's instructions, as long as you distributed the white powder Richard gave you, you could become one of them."
"Little did you know, those people could enter the Golden Club not because they were elites themselves, but because they could provide corresponding capabilities to the club."
"And your capability is being in a Triad. Even if you enter the Golden Club, don't expect to become a part of high society; you're still a lowlifes in a Triad."
"Richard courted you not because you, Ah Tim, were so formidable, but because Sun Luen Shing, where you belonged, was formidable."
"You are one of the Sun Luen Shing Five Tigers, a powerful branch leader, and you might even become the Dragon Head of the Triad in the next election."
"To put it plainly, Richard... no, the Golden Club values you because of Sun Luen Shing, not because of your talent."
"You don't even know the true nature of the Golden Club, yet you unhesitatingly believed Richard's nonsense entirely. If nothing happened to you, then there truly would be no justice."
Ah Tim was stunned:
"You... you're slandering me."
Lin Feng waved his hand:
"Slap him!"
Li Fu immediately stepped forward, grabbed Ah Tim by the hair, and slapped him seven or eight times, back and forth.
He really put force into it. In just a moment, Ah Tim's face was swollen like a pig's head.
Lin Feng waved his hand, and Li Fu immediately stopped and retreated to the side.
He pulled out a cigar, trimmed it, lit it, took a puff, and looked at Ah Tim mockingly,
"Go ask around in the underworld; my words, Lin Feng's words, are as good as money."
"I have so many things to do, why would I come slander you?"
"Do you know I can earn hundreds of millions of hong kong dollars just by sleeping?"
"Would I be so bored as to slander you?"
"Who do you think you are?"
Li Fu's expression was calm, thinking to himself, with Brother Feng's abnormal intelligence capabilities, he truly earns money even while sleeping.
Just like that scoundrel Cheuk Tze-keung... the poor guy finally extorted two Tycoons, thinking he could pocket eight hundred million hong kong dollars, but in the end, he worked for Brother Feng for nothing.
Li Fu didn't know that the 1.04 billion Cheuk Tze-keung extorted from the Tycoon was also confiscated by Lin Feng.
If he knew this, he would definitely feel aggrieved for Cheuk Tze-keung.
How can 'miserable' even begin to describe it?
"I, Lin Feng, always act with evidence."
"Kid, open it and see."
Ah Tim then opened the file bag, and a stack of photos spilled out. He casually picked one up, and his pupils immediately contracted—
It was a photo of him and that dead ghost, Richard.
The two were clearly entering the Golden Club.
What made his head ache even more was that the photo also had a timestamp, from just a few days ago.
Ah Tim's face turned ashen.
Lin Feng snorted coldly:
"You are also a branch leader of Sun Luen Shing, you should know the rules of our line of work."
"For something like this, suspicion is enough; photos are not even necessary."
"It's just that Brother Chang is kind-hearted and asked me to investigate, fearing that he might suspect his four sworn brothers."
Standing up, Lin Feng walked up to Ah Tim, then suddenly erupted, kicking Ah Tim fiercely. The force of the kick was so great that it sent Ah Tim flying, crashing into the office desk.
"How dare you call yourself Brother Chang's brother?"
"Do you know how much weight the word 'brother' carries?"
"You truly insult the word 'brother'!"
Lin Feng's eyes were wide open, exceptionally intimidating.
However, no one doubted his right to explain that statement.
The two brothers of Mong Kok were truly not blood brothers, yet they were closer than blood brothers, a model of fraternal loyalty in the Triad.
Lok Chi-ming's heart tightened as he recalled the various legends of the Causeway Bay Hall Master, and then thought of Ah Tim's actions... Even if they were enemies, he had to admit, Ah Tim was finished.
Li Fu's mind was exceptionally strange; his boss always said that when you're in the Triad, making money is the priority.
However, he didn't value money much, but he highly valued brotherly loyalty.
Take himself, for example: a personal subordinate, whose monthly expenses for daily necessities amounted to two hundred thousand hong kong dollars, not to mention being able to buy a large house in Mid-Levels.
This was the treatment of a subordinate, something many Triad bosses in the Triad yearned for but couldn't get.
Lin Feng usually seemed to scoff at brotherly loyalty, but when a brother was truly in trouble, he would step up.
What kind of boss you have determines what kind of subordinates you have; no matter what the boss thinks, the subordinates always learn from him.
Lin Feng was like this, so his subordinates were naturally different from ordinary people.
They valued brotherly loyalty exceptionally highly; this was basically the consensus in Causeway Bay.
Below Lin Feng, every single one, Li Fu, Wang Jianjun, Wang Jianguo, and Li Jie, goes without saying—these guys from the disciplinary forces valued their comrades more than blood brothers—they were people you could trust with your back on the battlefield.
Lok Tin-hung was a martial artist, and he had even more of a chivalrous spirit.
If something happened in Causeway Bay, these people wouldn't shout, "Everyone go!" but rather, "Everyone follow me!"
This was the subtle difference.
Ah Tim felt a chill in his heart.
If anyone else had stood up and yelled that, he would have definitely retorted and wouldn't have tolerated them—'Who the hell are you, daring to talk about brotherly loyalty?'
However, Lin Feng had that qualification.
As long as they were Triad members, even those madmen from Chung Yee Shun, when mentioning Liang Kun and Lin Feng's brotherly loyalty, they would have to exclaim, "Impressive!"
These two were simply paragons walking the Triad path.
They had the right to stand on the moral high ground and judge you!
Moreover, Lin Feng's visit to Sun Luen Shing this time was at Lam Yiu-cheung's invitation, which was even more praised in the Triad—this was an act of profound righteousness.
"Kicking you would truly dirty my hands."
Lin Feng waved his hand:
"Ah Lok, take him, let's go."
Lok Chi-ming was greatly alarmed:
"Brother Feng, this is Kowloon Walled City."
Lin Feng glared at him fiercely:
"What about Kowloon Walled City? Isn't this your Sun Luen Shing territory?"
"You are one of the Five Tigers of Sun Luen Shing; can't you even keep the monsters and demons here in check?"
"Then why are you a Young and Dangerous member? You might as well go be a policeman!"
Lok Chi-ming's face flushed red from Lin Feng's words; he gritted his teeth, helped Ah Tim up, and left.
Lin Feng snorted coldly, striding forward, leading the way.
He didn't have the habit of letting his brothers cover his rear; this was a habit he had developed since childhood. Taking the lead might encounter danger, but he would always maintain the initiative.
The four walked down the stairs, immediately causing a stir.
Someone shouted, "They've kidnapped the boss!"
A large crowd swarmed around them.
Lin Feng glared fiercely at everyone:
"Brother Chang invited me here to do business; are you going to violate Sun Luen Shing's rules?"
At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly unleashed his aura, an aura honed through countless life-and-death struggles, from fighting wild dogs for food at the age of seven.
His eyes were like a wolf's.
Fierce, solitary, and ruthless!
No one dared to contend with him.
Everyone was intimidated by Lin Feng.
Ah Tim's subordinates looked at each other, none daring to step forward.
The name Tiger of Mong Kok was not an empty title; it was truly supported by solid achievements.
Not long ago, when various Triads were conspiring against the Chung Ching Society, Ah Tim's subordinates had witnessed Lin Feng's might.
How could they not be afraid?
However, Ah Tim was their boss after all, and someone shouted loudly:
"How can you prove you are acting on the Dragon Head's orders?"
Lin Feng waved his hand, and Li Fu took out his phone and called Lam Yiu-cheung:
"Brother Chang, we need to take Ah Tim, his subordinates suspect we are on a personal vendetta."
Then he turned on the speakerphone, stepped forward, and held the phone directly towards Ah Tim's subordinates.
Lam Yiu-cheung's angry voice came from the phone:
"Ah Tim violated the family rules, wearing Straw Sandal and washing the horse stable. I, out of brotherly affection, couldn't bring myself to do it, so I specially invited Mr. Lin from Hung Hing."
"Are you trying to rebel?"
Li Fu took back the phone.
Lin Feng said indifferently:
"Are you... going to block our way?"
The leading subordinate instinctively moved aside, and when the leader appeared, everyone else watched and cleared the path.
Especially when they saw that it was Lok Chi-ming, one of the Five Tigers of Sun Luen Shing, supporting Ah Tim, they were even more helpless.
The four left Kowloon Walled City unimpeded.
Lok Chi-ming asked:
"Brother Feng, where are we going?"
Lin Feng stared at him:
"You decide."
Lok Chi-ming thought for a moment and said:
"How about near my house?"
Lin Feng truly let him decide.
So, the group headed straight for a dark alley not far from Lok Chi-ming's home.
Lok Chi-ming threw Ah Tim to the ground, a slight excitement in his voice:
"Brother Feng, how should we deal with this guy?"
Ah Tim had already accepted his fate.
Lam Yiu-cheung had publicly stated that he was wearing Straw Sandal and washing the horse stable, so his fate was sealed. Even if he managed to escape, unless he turned into a police informant, no one in the vast Triad could save him.
Unfortunately, the Police Force wouldn't want him; he had ordered someone to run over Lo Chung-lun, which was a deep-seated grudge.
Originally, he still had the Golden Club to rely on, but... Richard had been executed. He was a prospective member introduced by Richard, and whether they would acknowledge him was uncertain.
Where else could he run?
Ah Tim closed his eyes, awaiting death.
Suddenly, he heard Lin Feng's strange words:
"Ah Lok, you are a policeman, how should I deal with you?"
Ah Tim's eyes snapped open, a glimmer of light barely piercing through his swollen eyes, to see Lin Feng looking down at Lok Chi-ming, as if interrogating a prisoner.
Ah Tim was utterly bewildered—'What, Lok Chi-ming, who served three years in prison for Lam Yiu-cheung, is actually a policeman?'
"You're not mistaken, are you?!"
Lok Chi-ming looked at Lin Feng in surprise:
"Brother Feng, what do you mean?"
Lin Feng said faintly:
"Don't look at me like that."
"I've always had communication with the upper echelons of the Police Force; I can even talk to Chief Huang and Chief Lin on the phone."
"But this is part of what the black and white forest agreement allows."
"It's practically an open secret in the Triad."
"What do you think I came to Sun Luen Shing for?"
"Eliminating Ah Tim, this traitorous fellow, was certainly a pre-determined task, but another task was you..."
"Do you want to stay in Sun Luen Shing, or stay in the Police Force?"
"If you want to continue being an undercover agent, that's impossible; I won't allow it."
Ah Tim was shocked, and with his remaining strength, he shouted:
"Lok Chi-ming, you're an undercover agent? Was Lo Chung-lun really coming to see you that night?"
"I'm going to report to the boss that you're an undercover agent!"
Ah Tim suddenly saw a glimmer of hope for survival.
Bang!
Li Fu stepped forward and kicked Ah Tim, making him curl up like a shrimp.
Lin Feng looked at Ah Tim indifferently:
"Even if Lok Chi-ming is an undercover agent, he's an undercover agent who served three years in prison for Brother Chang."
"You're not an undercover agent, but have you ever thought about going to prison for Brother Chang?"
"To judge a person, you listen to their words and observe their actions. Regardless of Lok Chi-ming's identity, serving time for Brother Chang is undeniable."
"To be honest with you, because of your matter, I got rid of Richard, so I don't mind getting rid of you."
"No matter what, you shouldn't think about escaping."
Ah Tim's pupils constricted violently:
"You sent people to kill Richard?"
Lin Feng scoffed:
"I am a legitimate businessman, so how could I let my hands be stained with blood?"
"Richard was killed by someone within the Golden Club."
"And I merely used a small trick."
Ignoring Ah Tim, Lin Feng stared at Lok Chi-ming,
"Come, tell me your answer!"
