Chapter 185: Chiang Tin-Yeung is Back
Silence fell before the operating room.
None of the Hall Masters expected Lin Feng to speak to Chief Huang of West Kowloon Police Headquarters in such a manner.
Everyone's expressions were very subtle.
Whether it was Baji, Brother Xin, Sister Thirteen, Greyhound, or Dai Fei, they looked as if they didn't recognize Lin Feng.
"Ah Feng, isn't your tone a bit too aggressive?"
Brother Kei murmured.
Lin Feng looked at everyone's expressions and said speechlessly:
"I think you all have been acting as big bosses for so long that you've forgotten your own identities."
"What kind of people are we?"
"Triad Hall Masters, slightly higher-ranked Young and Dangerous members."
"To put it plainly, we're still Young and Dangerous."
"Mr. Chiang is our Chairman, our Dragon Head. Now that something has happened to him, if we don't do anything, if we don't state our position, what do you think will happen?"
"Triads, the underworld, the Police Force—they're all like hyenas."
"If we can endure even Mr. Chiang being ambushed by knife-wielding assailants, then what else can't we endure?"
"In the eyes of others, we'll become a fragrant piece of meat and bone."
"Will these hyenas let us off?"
"Stop joking around!"
Brother Kei said awkwardly:
"That's not what I meant... Wong Bing-Yiu is still the Chief of West Kowloon Police Headquarters. Won't being so overbearing backfire?"
Lin Feng said indifferently:
"At this moment, we cannot show the slightest bit of timidity. We must make our attitude clear to all Triads, to the entire jianghu."
"We want revenge."
"This is our attitude."
"Otherwise, if Mr. Chiang's example is set, everyone here will become the next Mr. Chiang."
Everyone shivered instantly.
Brother Kei stopped talking.
Brother Xin gritted his teeth and said:
"Ah Feng is right, we cannot back down. We must make our attitude known to the jianghu."
"We don't know when Mr. Chiang will come, so we can't just wait."
"Ah Feng, whatever moves you have, use them. We'll all listen to you."
Lin Feng was stunned:
"Listen to me?"
"No way, I'm the youngest here. You'll listen to me?"
Hon Ban smiled:
"We're in the jianghu. While seniority should be respected, you're also a Hall Master of Causeway Bay... You're already at the table, so what's there to talk about seniority?"
"Now is a time of internal and external troubles for Hung Hing. We need someone who can think."
"Among us in Hung Hing, you're the smartest."
Sai Ngan and Dinosaur nodded repeatedly:
"Exactly, exactly."
Whatever Hon Ban said, these two brothers just agreed.
Lin Feng cursed with a smile:
"Benny, you shouldn't praise me too much."
Hon Ban asked Liang Kun:
"Do you agree with my assessment of Ah Feng?"
Liang Kun smiled:
"Ah Feng is indeed smart."
Are you kidding? This is his own brother, how could he not be smart?
Liang Kun truly felt that Lin Feng was smarter than him, and he also felt that among the Young and Dangerous members of Hung Hing, no one was smarter than his brother.
Liang Kun supported Lin Feng with righteous confidence, without the slightest bit of guilt.
Hon Ban asked Brother Xin:
"Brother Xin, what do you say?"
Brother Xin smiled:
"Although Ah Feng is junior in seniority, he is the smartest. There's no doubt about it."
Chan Yiu sighed inwardly. He had wanted to contend, but now, there was no need to.
He simply couldn't contend.
Hon Ban then asked Baji:
"Brother Kei, what do you say?"
Baji was a good-natured person, so how could he possibly sing a different tune at this moment:
"That's natural. No one in our Hung Hing surpasses Ah Feng."
Hon Ban patted Lin Feng:
"Alright, stop trying to decline."
Lin Feng complained:
"You all just want to take it easy, forcing a junior like me to do the work."
Everyone just smiled without speaking.
Hon Ban and Liang Kun did have the intention of taking it easy.
Chan Yiu wanted to speak up but had no opportunity.
Baji and Brother Xin genuinely wanted a smart person to tell them what to do.
Everyone else felt the same way.
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said:
"Everyone, pick up your phones and call the Triad spokespersons you know. Tell them about the plight of Mr. Chiang and Camel here."
"Let them conduct their own investigations."
Brother Xin was startled:
"Won't that expose our weaknesses?"
Lin Feng sneered:
"No, we want them to feel our anger."
"Because of Sai B's matter, we can bite off a huge piece of Tung Sing."
"Because of my woman's matter, we can wipe out Chung Ching Society."
"Those Triads we know haven't been shy about following us to eat meat and drink soup."
"Now our Dragon Head has been ambushed by knife-wielding assailants, his life unknown."
"It's time for them to repay the favor."
"Our Hung Hing must remain stable, but whether other Triads remain stable is none of our business."
Everyone nodded in unison.
When you're in the jianghu, all the favors you owe eventually have to be repaid.
Favors can be cheap, but they can also be very expensive.
Brother Xin's spirits lifted.
"Ah Feng, what should we do?"
Lin Feng said indifferently:
"It's simple."
"Let's discuss and notify the spokespersons of the various Triads we know."
"Let them conduct their own investigations."
"The main message is one thing: our Mr. Chiang Tin-Yeung is returning from Siam soon."
"That's Mr. Chiang's own younger brother."
"If they don't want to face Mr. Chiang's wrath, they should consider what to do themselves."
Baji asked:
"Won't that alert the enemy?"
Lin Feng said meaningfully:
"What I want to do is alert the enemy."
Baji didn't understand. Brother Kei couldn't help but look around; many people were confused.
"Ah Feng, I'm slow-witted. Can you explain it to me?"
Lin Feng said calmly:
"Don't forget, Camel was also injured along with Mr. Chiang."
"Right now, it's just our Hung Hing spreading the word in the jianghu, but in reality, Tung Sing is also involved."
"The more grand a show we make, the better."
"Firstly, it can alert the enemy."
"Secondly, and most importantly..."
Baji quickly pressed:
"What?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"When we find the true culprit, we can mobilize our forces without hesitation to strike them down."
"Avenging the Triad Dragon Head is a matter of course."
"However, there are still some people who don't want us to seek revenge."
"For example, the Police Force."
"For example, Triads who don't want to see us develop well."
"Once public opinion is stirred up, they won't be able to stop us."
"Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
Baji suddenly understood:
"Ah Feng, you truly live up to your reputation as a smart person praised by smart people."
Hon Ban laughed heartily:
"I knew it, Ah Feng is the smartest among us."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Alright, everyone, make your calls to the spokespersons you know... I'll handle Sun Luen Shing and Tung Sing."
Baji was stunned again:
"Sun Luen Shing is understandable, but Tung Sing... do we need to call them too?"
Lin Feng said indifferently:
"Until the culprit is caught, anyone is suspicious. Don't forget what I analyzed earlier; Tung Sing also has a motive."
Baji was completely bewildered:
"No... Camel's life is still unknown."
Lin Feng's voice was unusually stern:
"Brother Kei, we're all in the jianghu. Keep your kindness for yourself."
"Don't forget, who killed Sai B's entire family?"
Baji was startled.
Hon Ban immediately explained to Lin Feng:
"At that time, Yiu Yeung collaborated with Fatty Lai. Sai B's family was something Fatty Lai wanted Yiu Yeung to do, but the collaboration was reciprocal. If Fatty Lai hadn't had an accident back then, who do you think Yiu Yeung would have let Fatty Lai kill?"
Baji immediately fell into deep thought.
Brother Xin said:
"Brother Kei, you said Ah Feng is the smartest, so just listen to Ah Feng. He wouldn't harm us, would he?"
Baji nodded repeatedly:
"I'll call Master Shen right away to tell him."
Lin Feng ignored the Hall Masters' arrangements and went aside. Li Fu handed him his phone. Lin Feng first called Lam Yiu-cheung, who seemed to have been waiting for the call:
"Ah Feng, how is Mr. Chiang?"
Lin Feng asked with a smile:
"Brother Chang, have you heard the news?"
Lam Yiu-cheung said nervously:
"How could I not? The jianghu is abuzz with it. Many Triads are scared to death."
Lin Feng asked knowingly:
"What are they nervous about?"
Lam Yiu-cheung's relationship with Hung Hing was unusual, and his relationship with Lin Feng was even more so, so he spoke frankly:
"They're afraid you'll take your anger out on them!"
"They're also afraid that someone in the jianghu will take advantage of the chaos."
"I've already explicitly ordered my Hall Masters and subordinates to control their emotions no matter what."
"Lest they become a tool in someone else's hands."
Lin Feng smiled:
"Mr. Chiang's life is unknown, but another Mr. Chiang, Chiang Tin-Yeung, will be flying back from Siam tonight."
"Our Hung Hing is one of the ten major Triads, and we handle matters with clear distinctions between gratitude and grudges."
"Everything must be made clear; we won't harm the innocent."
Lam Yiu-cheung nodded repeatedly, but as for the latter part of the statement, he considered Lin Feng to be spouting nonsense.
When you're in the jianghu, a crow shouldn't laugh at a pig for being black; everyone is the same.
They are Young and Dangerous, not saints. When they vent their anger on others, they do it very smoothly.
Don't vent your anger on others?
How is that possible?
If Lin Feng were the Dragon Head of Hung Hing, Lam Yiu-cheung would believe it.
Unfortunately, the current Dragon Head of Hung Hing is Chiang Tin-Sung, and after him, there's Chiang Tin-Yeung.
"I'll spread the word and have the brothers help look for him."
Lin Feng smiled:
"Thank you, Brother Chang. I'll treat you to tea later."
Hon Ban saw him finish the call, so he walked over:
"Ah Feng, you're making such a big show of having the Hall Masters make calls; I'm afraid you have another objective, don't you?"
Lin Feng looked at him in surprise:
"Benny, you figured it out?"
Hon Ban smiled softly:
"You don't want to cause large-scale unrest in the underworld."
Lin Feng gave a thumbs up:
"As expected of Binny Hu, you're so smart."
Sister Thirteen was confused:
"Doesn't us making such a big show of calling the representatives of various Triads count as causing a commotion in the underworld?"
Hon Ban sighed:
"No, it doesn't."
Sister Thirteen was astonished.
"Because of Ah Feng, our Hung Hing's word is very good."
"Basically, we can say that what we promise, we deliver. As long as we give our word, we basically fulfill it very well."
Sister Thirteen nodded:
"This is indeed Ah Feng's credit."
"Both times we offered bounties, they were paid out."
"When we rallied various Triads to take down Chung Ching Society, we didn't hog all the credit either."
"Truly impressive."
"But... won't those Triads who received calls be worried?"
Hon Ban casually said:
"They will be worried."
Sister Thirteen was even more confused.
Liang Kun also joined the three and said:
"Little Sister, don't you understand?"
"These guys, suddenly receiving our calls, were worried at first."
"They all know Hung Hing's character very well."
"If they really did it, then these people won't live."
"But if they didn't do it, do you think they'll feel at ease?"
Sister Thirteen suddenly realized, looking at Lin Feng with a strange gaze:
"It looks like you're being aggressive, but in reality, you're indirectly telling the other party that our Hung Hing is only looking for the people who attacked Mr. Chiang. We have no interest in provoking unrelated individuals."
"In this way, the other party won't be angry because of our tone; instead, they'll praise us for following the rules?"
Liang Kun shrugged:
"That's right."
"Ah Feng always prefers to do things openly."
"The underworld knows this point."
Sister Thirteen gave a thumbs up in admiration:
"Ah Feng, as expected of the smart person Benny admires, you are truly clever."
Lin Feng smiled:
"This is nothing. After all, we can't challenge the entire underworld with just one Triad."
"If we really did that, we wouldn't be far from selling salted duck eggs..."
"However, taking advantage of Mr. Chiang's injury, we can certainly be arrogant for a while."
Sister Thirteen was utterly impressed, and her impression of Lin Feng completely changed.
Speaking of which, because of her father, Chui Shui Da, Sister Thirteen had known Lin Feng since childhood. It was precisely because of their close relationship that she always thought Lin Feng was only good at kung fu and brave in fights.
She was completely unaware of any other abilities he possessed.
This is actually a very common thing. In ancient times, common people believed the emperor was the Son of Heaven, and thus inherently wise, majestic, and perfect in all aspects; however, the ministers who accompanied him day and night knew that the emperor was also just a man.
Recently, after repeatedly experiencing Lin Feng's methods, Sister Thirteen finally realized that Lin Feng was truly capable of earning the unanimous approval from Chiang Tin-Sung at the top to the Hung Hing bigwigs at the bottom.
Lin Feng asked:
"Everyone, how are the moods of the people you contacted?"
Baki grinned and said:
"I called Master Shen, and he was very worried at first, but after knowing our principles, he settled down."
Brother Xin said:
"It's pretty much the same on my end."
Liang Kun shrugged:
"I contacted Fat Deng, and he's the same."
Chan Yiu said:
"I called Chung Yee Shun, and Lin Ho-lung is very angry about Mr. Chiang's predicament. He said he'd come to visit Mr. Chiang when he has time."
Lin Feng gathered the information from the various Hall Masters and suddenly sneered.
Hon Ban asked:
"Ah Feng, have you found something?"
The eyes of the Hall Masters almost popped out.
How is that possible?
Could he find out who attacked Chiang Tin-Sung just by making a phone call?
It must be fake!
Liang Kun said in surprise:
"Benny, don't bring trouble to Ah Feng. We're all here, and no one has received any extra news. How could Ah Feng have a new discovery?"
When it came to protecting his subordinates, Liang Kun was second to none.
Hon Ban was about to speak when someone suddenly rushed in:
"How is my elder brother?"
Everyone was startled and saw a tall man with a high nose bridge, a slicked-back hairstyle, and the look of a big boss.
Chan Yiu immediately stood up respectfully and said:
"Mr. Chiang."
Everyone suddenly realized that it was Chiang Tin-Yeung, Chiang Tin-Sung's younger brother, who had arrived.
So they all called out:
"Mr. Chiang."
Chiang Tin-Yeung greeted everyone one by one and eagerly asked:
"How is my elder brother?"
Baki said:
"Mr. Chiang is in surgery. We've been waiting for him here."
Chiang Tin-Yeung saw the cigarette butts on the floor and nodded slightly:
"Thank you all."
He waved his hand and actually called Liang Kun to him:
"Ah Kun, what happened?"
The Hall Masters unconsciously exchanged glances, which was very subtle.
Their gazes towards Chan Yiu became particularly strange.
Chiang Tin-Yeung had been in Siam for many years, and most of Hung Hing's Hall Masters didn't know him. The person most familiar with him was Chan Yiu, Chiang Tin-Sung's Chief steward.
However, after Chiang Tin-Yeung returned, he didn't ask the most trusted Chan Yiu first, but Liang Kun... This implied something significant.
Liang Kun said:
"Tonight was supposed to be when Mr. Chiang was having tea with Lok Bing-yun. The specific situation should be asked of Ah Yao; we are not clear."
He pulled Chan Yiu forward,
"The specific situation at the time should be told by Ah Yao. Others are just relaying it, and it's inevitable that they might exaggerate."
Chiang Tin-Yeung looked deeply at Liang Kun, and his impression of Liang Kun immediately improved greatly.
Just this one sentence showed Liang Kun's caliber.
A direct account from the person involved has the least interference; others' relaying it will inevitably add their own opinions, which can complicate matters.
No wonder the big boss valued Liang Kun so much.
Chan Yiu looked at Liang Kun gratefully. At the time of the incident, only he was with Mr. Chiang. Having him narrate it could certainly describe the scene in the most detail, but it could also reduce his own responsibility.
Anyway, Mr. Chiang was in the operating room, and it was unknown if he would wake up.
Chan Yiu still honestly recounted the situation at the time.
Chiang Tin-Yeung had regained his composure and asked:
"Do any of you have any proposed solutions?"
Baki said:
"Originally, we thought of having Ah Feng continue the bounty operation, but Ah Yao said you were coming, so whether to continue the bounty will depend on Mr. Chiang's wishes."
Chiang Tin-Yeung asked again:
"What else?"
Hon Ban said:
"Ah Feng suggested that we call the representatives of other big Triads in an interrogative tone, and he also contacted the upper echelons of the Police Force through his own connections."
"The message conveyed was just one—"
"Mr. Chiang is the Dragon Head of our Hung Hing. Now he has been ambushed and cut down. This is something our Hung Hing absolutely will not allow to happen."
"As long as we find out who did it, they will face Hung Hing's most brutal retaliation."
Chiang Tin-Yeung nodded in satisfaction:
"That's right. My elder brother is the Chairman of Hung Hing. He was ambushed by knife-wielding assailants. No matter who sent them, they will suffer our blow."
"Our Hung Hing is reasonable, so other Triads don't need to worry about us hitting the wrong people."
"Every wrong has its source, and every debt its master. Our Hung Hing will only deal with those who attacked us in the dark. Everyone else can rest assured."
Baki was dumbfounded:
"Is that so?"
He hadn't heard the conversation of Liang Kun's small group just now, so he didn't know that Lin Feng's instructions also had this meaning.
Hon Ban smiled and said:
"Brother Kei, Ah Feng already said it. You just do as he says, and there's no need to ask anything else."
Baki nodded repeatedly:
"You're right."
Hon Ban nudged Lin Feng:
"Mr. Chiang, Ah Feng seems to have made a discovery."
***
Chapter 186: An Unjustified Position
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's gaze immediately turned to Lin Feng.
Liang Kun complained,
"Benny, aren't you overpraising him?"
Hon Ban gave a wry smile.
"Ah Kun, you don't know how smart Ah Feng is."
Liang Kun rolled his eyes.
"I raised him; how could I not know how smart he is?"
"But seriously, after we all received the news, we came here."
"We've all been exposed to all the information. Have you found anything?"
Hon Ban was about to answer when Liang Kun added,
"You are also one of the few smart people in our Hung Hing."
Hon Ban was very nonchalant.
"I was shortsighted before. I realize that compared to Ah Feng, I'm not smart enough."
Liang Kun was helpless.
"You're incredible!"
How arrogant Binny Hu was, the other Hall Masters of Hung Hing all knew.
But he had the right to be arrogant.
Before joining Hung Hing, Hon Ban was a general of Hap Tu. While people from other Triads focused on Hong Kong Island, Hon Ban had already set his sights on the world.
An international-level smuggling kingpin—that was Hon Ban's vision and courage.
No one else could have achieved that.
Hon Ban's intelligence was obvious to all; otherwise, Chiang Tin-Sung wouldn't have offered three Hall Master positions just to get Hon Ban to join.
Chiang Tin-Yeung became interested.
"I always hear my elder brother mention the two tigers of Mong Kok. Ah Feng, what have you found?"
The Hall Masters exchanged glances. Chiang Tin-Yeung's words revealed a lot.
Lin Feng said seriously,
"Now is not the time to discuss my findings. Mr. Chiang is currently in the operating room, his life hanging in the balance."
"I've been in this operating room for four hours already."
"Even if Mr. Chiang's surgery is successful, he will likely be bedridden for a long time."
"It's not an exaggeration to say that our Hung Hing is leaderless."
Baji nodded repeatedly.
"Ah Feng is right."
Lin Feng said,
"As the saying goes, 'an unjustified position leads to an unconvincing argument.' Hung Hing has always had the tradition of the Twelve Hall Masters sharing power with the Dragon Head. Mr. Chiang is now unable to fulfill the responsibilities of the Dragon Head."
"Why don't we take this opportunity to invite Mr. Chiang to temporarily assume the Dragon Head position? How about it?"
Chiang Tin-Yeung was stunned.
"I didn't come back to be the Dragon Head."
Liang Kun had already approached Chiang Tin-Yeung. Li Fu brought over a grand armchair, and the former guided Chiang Tin-Yeung, gently pushing him to sit down.
"A Triad cannot be without a head."
"Mr. Chiang was attacked, and his life is uncertain. We currently lack a central figure."
"Mr. Chiang, you are a member of the Chiang family; no one is more suitable than you."
"Until Mr. Chiang's health is fully restored, I believe no one else can fill this position except you."
Chiang Tin-Yeung was momentarily stunned.
"Ah Kun, no, I just came back to visit my elder brother."
Baji said,
"Ah Kun is right. Although our Hung Hing doesn't follow the'son succeeds father, brother succeeds brother' rule like Sun Yee On, if we're talking about who is qualified to sit in this position, it has to be someone from the Chiang family."
Hon Ban stared intensely at Liang Kun, truly admiring him.
Such a good opportunity, and he directly gave the Chairman position to Chiang Tin-Yeung. This was not something an ordinary person could do.
If Liang Kun wanted to take that seat, Hon Ban would definitely support him.
Now, all that remained was admiration.
Since Liang Kun had spoken, Hon Ban immediately followed suit.
"Our Hung Hing is facing internal and external troubles, Mr. Chiang. You are the legitimate son of the Chiang family, and you cannot refuse under any circumstances."
Then, without any preparation, Chiang Tin-Yeung temporarily replaced Chiang Tin-Sung as the acting Dragon Head of Hung Hing.
Everyone, led by Liang Kun, came forward one by one to pay their respects.
"Mong Kok Hall Master Liang Kun greets the Dragon Head."
"Kwai Tsing Hall Master Hon Ban greets the Dragon Head."
"Aberdeen Hall Master Baji greets the Dragon Head."
..."Causeway Bay Hall Master Lin Feng greets the Dragon Head."
"North Point Hall Master Greyhound greets the Dragon Head."
"Macau Casino Manager Dai Fei greets the Dragon Head."
"Wan Chai Hall Master Chan Yiu greets the Dragon Head."
Hon Ban's expression was subtle. Had Liang Kun just confirmed his title as the First Hall Master under the Dragon Head?
It seemed no one minded.
On second thought, if this guy wanted to be the Dragon Head, probably only Chan Yiu here might object, and even then, it was just a possibility.
So, Liang Kun being the First Hall Master didn't seem like a big deal.
Chiang Tin-Yeung said helplessly,
"I have a lot of things to do in Siam; I won't be staying here for long."
"Alright, Hung Hing is, after all, the ancestral hall..."
"There are too many people here. Ah Kun, Ah Yao, Ah Feng, stay. Everyone else, go back."
Baji asked,
"Mr. Chiang, what should we do?"
Chiang Tin-Sung said surprisingly,
"Didn't Ah Feng arrange everything very well? Just do as he said."
Baji looked completely confused. What did Lin Feng arrange?
Restrain subordinates, question the Leaders of other Triads, that's it!
This was considered well-arranged?
Brother Xin pulled Baji aside.
"Just listen to Mr. Chiang's instructions. We're not smart people to begin with, so listening to smart people's arrangements is never wrong."
Baji thought it made sense, so the Hall Masters and their top enforcers left cleanly.
Only Liang Kun and his brother, Chan Yiu, and their brought enforcers remained.
Chiang Tin-Yeung sighed.
"Ah Yao, open the windows and let some air in."
All the Hall Masters of Hung Hing were heavy smokers. They had been in there for four hours, only moving to relieve themselves, and the rest of the time they stayed put, with cigarette butts piled up on the floor.
It was only thanks to them being in the Triad Hospital that no fire alarm was triggered.
As the cool breeze flowed in, Chiang Tin-Yeung said to Liang Kun,
"You truly live up to my elder brother's high regard. He praised you a lot when he chatted with me."
"Our Chiang family is truly fortunate to have helpers like you."
Liang Kun was very candid.
"I also want to be the Dragon Head, but I know this position isn't something you can just fight for. As long as someone from the Chiang family is sitting there, I won't contend for it."
Chiang Tin-Yeung asked with a smile,
"Why?"
Liang Kun shrugged.
"As long as the Chiang family wants it, the position of Hung Hing's Dragon Head Chairman will not fall into other hands. Forcibly contending for it, even if someone supports me, would cause Hung Hing to split."
"I have feelings for Hung Hing and don't want such an outcome."
Chiang Tin-Yeung smiled warmly.
"Ah Kun, you are honorable."
"Indeed, in this line of work, who doesn't want to sit in that position?"
"It's just that many people don't realize that not everyone can contend for it just because they want to."
"He who knows others is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened. Ah Kun, you are a man of great capability."
"My elder brother is truly fortunate to have you brothers as helpers, not enemies."
Lin Feng smiled.
"Eat whose food, be managed by whom—this is a very simple truth."
Chiang Tin-Yeung sighed.
"Although this truth is simple, many people constantly fail to understand it."
"Ah Feng, Benny said you had a new discovery?"
Chan Yiu's heart stirred. He was also one of the few smart people in Hung Hing. He knew all the information Lin Feng knew, and he also knew information Lin Feng didn't—
At least, he had personally seen how the knife-wielding assailant attacked Chiang Tin-Sung.
Chan Yiu truly didn't believe Lin Feng had any other discoveries.
If Lin Feng really had any discoveries, he would definitely have to avoid him in the future.
Lin Feng said frankly,
"I have a discovery!"
Chan Yiu's eyes nearly popped out—You really do?!
How could this be?
Chiang Tin-Yeung asked with interest,
"What discovery?"
Lin Feng said,
"Tonight, after I received the news, I rushed over immediately, as did most of the other Hall Masters."
"In fact, because I received the news relatively late, I was almost the last one to arrive here."
"Then, I asked everyone to notify the Leaders of the Triads they were familiar with."
"Doing this was simply to convey Hung Hing's stance to them and reassure the unrelated Triads."
"Then a strange phenomenon appeared..."
"These Triads were very quiet."
Chan Yiu didn't understand for a moment.
"These Triads being quiet, what does that indicate?"
Lin Feng glanced at him indifferently and casually said,
"They're not feeling guilty."
Hmm?!
Lin Feng explained,
"We don't need to belittle ourselves. Although Hung Hing is counted among the Top Ten Gangs with other Triads, our strength is enough to rank among the top few in the underworld."
"Especially after uniting with other Triads to annex the Chung Ching Society, this is even more true."
Chiang Tin-Yeung smiled.
"My elder brother said that this opportunity was created by you."
Lin Feng was nonchalant.
"I just happened to catch it."
Chiang Tin-Yeung smiled and said nothing.
No matter what, the Chung Ching Society was also one of the Top Ten Gangs. Many Triads hated them, and even the police hated them.
However, precisely because the Chung Ching Society didn't abide by various rules, their strength was also the greatest.
There really wasn't anyone who dared to lay hands on the Chung Ching Society.
Lin Feng's decisive action against the Chung Ching Society showed great courage, which is one of his exceptional abilities.
"Our Hung Hing is flourishing and prospering."
"Those who dare to attack Hung Hing are either extraordinarily powerful forces, like the incident with Mr. Chiang in front of You Gu Qi Restaurant."
Chiang Tin-Yeung nodded slowly:
"The Foreigner's Political Department and that Golden Club are indeed troublesome."
Lin Feng wasn't surprised at all. Chiang Tin-Sung and Chiang Tin-Yeung, though one was in Hong Kong and the other in Siam, communicated regularly.
Chiang Tin-Sung really needed someone to confide in.
Someone like Chiang Tin-Yeung, who didn't infringe upon his interests in the slightest, was the best confidant, not to mention they were biological brothers.
"Or, it's other Triads that are among the Top Ten Gangs, just like Hung Hing."
Chiang Tin-Yeung mused:
"I think I'm grasping your line of thought."
"While this move reassures the other Triads, it also serves to alert the enemy."
"However, now we only see the grass but no snake, which means the culprit is not among the Triads contacted by the Hall Masters."
Chan Yiu was stunned:
"But we've contacted almost all of the Top Ten Gangs!"
Lin Feng shook his phone and said coldly:
"No!"
"There's still one we haven't contacted."
Chan Yiu asked blankly:
"Which one?"
Lin Feng said indifferently:
"Tung Sing!"
Chan Yiu's pupils contracted:
"Camel was attacked with Mr. Chiang!"
Lin Feng scoffed:
"Perhaps the attackers weren't targeting Mr. Chiang, but he was implicated by Camel."
Chan Yiu exclaimed:
"What?"
"The attackers were after Camel?"
Lin Feng took out his phone and called Szeto Ho-Nam:
"Szeto Ho-Nam, it's me."
"Is Senior Camel alright?"
Szeto Ho-Nam was in a bad mood:
"What do you mean 'alright'?"
"It was just a few centimeters from his heart; the boss is still in surgery."
"How's Mr. Chiang?"
Lin Feng looked up at the operating room:
"Mr. Chiang was stabbed in the liver and is still being resuscitated."
Szeto Ho-Nam said viciously:
"Don't let me find out who did it, or I'll kill him."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"I'm not like you. I won't kill him; I'll torture him."
Szeto Ho-Nam choked, then said anxiously:
"Brother Feng, your information is always well-informed. Do you know who did it?"
Lin Feng looked at everyone; he had already put the call on speaker when he first dialed.
"I probably do, which is why I'm asking you now, isn't it?"
Szeto Ho-Nam fell silent for a moment, then chuckled dryly:
"Brother Feng, you're really good at joking. How would I know?"
Lin Feng asked:
"Is Uncle Ben there?"
Szeto Ho-Nam became very wary:
"What do you want to do?"
Lin Feng said irritably:
"It's useless to tell you. I need to talk to someone who can make decisions."
"Don't tell me Uncle Ben didn't go..."
Szeto Ho-Nam said with difficulty:
"Uncle Ben just left."
Lin Feng suddenly smiled:
"I know Uncle Ben better than you. He's an old fox. He'll do dangerous things, but he'll never stay long in a dangerous place."
"When did your Tung Sing's Triad Hospital become dangerous?"
"The Triad Chairman is in the operating room, and Uncle Ben has such a good relationship with Camel, but he only stayed for a while and then left?"
"That doesn't make sense."
Szeto Ho-Nam was horrified and lowered his voice:
"Brother Feng, what exactly do you know?"
Lin Feng clicked his tongue in wonder:
"You are Qing Long Hu, the Leader of Tung Sing's renowned Five Tigers. With elders like Uncle Ben absent, you should be the one in charge."
"But looking at your demeanor, what are you worried about?"
"Worried about the people around you?"
"There's no one around you, only the Five Tigers."
"Chan Tin-hung, Yiu Yeung, Smiling Tiger, and Sha Meng..."
"You... you're not afraid of them, are you?"
Chiang Tin-Yeung, Liang Kun, and Chan Yiu all stared at Lin Feng, dumbfounded. They never expected Lin Feng to say such a thing, and even more, they never expected Szeto Ho-Nam's reaction.
All three were frozen as if a spell had been cast upon them.
There was no reply from the other end of the phone for a long time, only the sound of footsteps. About half a minute later, Szeto Ho-Nam's exasperated voice was heard:
"Lin Feng, what do you want to do?"
Lin Feng said indifferently:
"I want you to give us an explanation."
"A life for a life, a debt for a debt, that's only right."
"Tell me Uncle Ben's contact information. If you don't tell me, it's okay, I'll ask Sister Mei for it."
"She has it!"
Szeto Ho-Nam again lowered his voice:
"Brother Feng, can you calm down?"
"This matter can be discussed."
Lin Feng scoffed:
"I can't calm down."
"To be honest, Mr. Chiang's brother, Mr. Chiang from Siam, has already flown back overnight after hearing about this."
"We have already endorsed him as the interim Dragon Head of Hung Hing."
"Because of the good relationship between our two families, we wanted to be the first to inform you."
"We never expected..."
"The culprits who attacked Mr. Chiang and Camel are among your Five Tigers."
"Szeto Ho-Nam, you know Hung Hing's methods. If you don't give us an explanation, we will use our methods, and you should know how powerful they are."
Szeto Ho-Nam almost went crazy:
"Brother Feng, you need to calm down!"
"I was also shocked that the boss was attacked by those madmen."
"I'm not hiding it from you because I don't want to give you an explanation; this is our scandal."
"Uncle Ben isn't afraid of them either; he's gathering the uncles to discuss countermeasures."
"How about you give me a little time?"
Lin Feng said lazily:
"I'm giving you time so you have a chance to inform Uncle Ben."
Szeto Ho-Nam was overjoyed:
"Everyone in the underworld says Brother Feng is reasonable, and his reputation is indeed top-notch."
Lin Feng was still lazy:
"Tomorrow noon, give me an explanation."
Szeto Ho-Nam almost choked to death:
"How is tomorrow noon enough?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"You know, I can't get out of bed before noon."
"Before, I didn't know who the culprit was, so I might have stayed up late, but now that I know who the culprit is, I can sleep soundly."
"Szeto Ho-Nam, pray."
"Pray that Mr. Chiang is alright and can pull through this."
"Otherwise, I might have to stay up late."
Szeto Ho-Nam was almost insane:
"Lin Feng, can you be reasonable?"
Lin Feng said indifferently:
"I am being reasonable with you, otherwise why would I waste so much time talking to you?"
"Do you know who is lying in the operating room?"
"That's our Hung Hing's Dragon Head. If he can be attacked, will we Chairmen also be attacked?"
"If we don't find the culprit and bring him to justice, we will all live in fear."
"This isn't just for Hung Hing and for Mr. Chiang; it's also for ourselves."
"Letting you speak is giving you face. Do you think I can't find out on my own?!"
Lin Feng hung up the phone.
Then he said to the three still petrified individuals:
"Found out..."
"The culprit is most likely among Crow, Yiu Yeung, and Smiling Tiger."
Chiang Tin-Yeung and the other two immediately snapped out of it, looking at Lin Feng as if he were a deity.
With just that little information, he could pinpoint the culprits who attacked Camel and Chiang Tin-Sung. Wasn't that practically divine?
"The boss once told me that you are Ziwei Emperor reincarnated... indeed, you have supernatural abilities."
Lin Feng rolled his eyes forcefully:
"That was clearly Master Jin of Sun Luen Shing saying that to scare people. Mr. Chiang, how could you believe it?"
Chiang Tin-Yeung smiled.
Lin Feng didn't believe it, but he did.
People with more experience tend to believe in things like fate more.
Coupled with the widespread belief in such things within the Greater Chinese cultural sphere, believing in fate is quite common.
Chan Yiu hesitated for a moment and said:
"Ah Feng, isn't that a bit too rash?"
Lin Feng gave him an indifferent look, startling the latter:
"Yiu Yeung has a record. He killed B's entire family and was forced to give up a lot of territory to save his life. His resentment towards us is undeniable."
"Similarly, because of this, he is also full of resentment towards Tung Sing for not supporting him."
"That guy Crow is crazy... he even dared to chop down the statue of Lord Guan. Is there anything he wouldn't dare to do?"
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
"We are not the police; we don't need evidence. We just need to know who is most likely to have done it."
"Besides, if we want to see if we guessed wrong, that's simple."
"Just wait?"
Chan Yiu asked:
"Wait for what?"
Lin Feng raised his phone.
