Chapter 187: Tung Sing's Turmoil (Last day of the month, requesting monthly votes)
Chan Yiu's brain had already crashed:
"Waiting for whose call?"
Lin Feng sighed:
"Brother Yao, you're under too much pressure. You should go rest."
Chan Yiu was stunned.
Chiang Tin-Yeung also said:
"Yao-zai, go back and rest."
Chan Yiu said in a panic:
"Mr. Chiang, your accommodation hasn't been arranged yet…"
Chiang Tin-Yeung angrily said:
"My elder brother is currently in the operating room. What accommodation do I need to arrange?"
Chan Yiu quickly shut up, not daring to say more.
Liang Kun patted his shoulder:
"The culprit has been found. It's an internal spy from Tung Sing, so it's not your fault."
"Go back and rest. You can't help us in this state."
Chan Yiu stumbled, his face crestfallen, and left.
Liang Kun waved:
"Chicken, send Brother Yao back."
Chicken quickly nodded in agreement and arranged a car.
Only then did Liang Kun say to Chiang Tin-Yeung:
"Mr. Chiang, Ah Yao is loyal to the Chiang family."
"Mr. Chiang's matter has nothing to do with him."
Chiang Tin-Yeung nodded:
"I understand."
"One guards against outsiders day and night, but it's hard to guard against a thief from within."
"Lok Bing-yun, a hero of his generation, actually raised such a few lowlifess."
"I wonder if he regrets it."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"We have no interest in Tung Sing's family matters, but the losses they've caused us are real."
"No matter what Tung Sing does, they have to compensate us."
"Mr. Chiang, what do you think?"
Chiang Tin-Yeung took out cigars and distributed them to everyone. Lin Feng quickly said:
"Let me, let me. How can I let a big boss do such a small thing?"
Then he stuffed the cigar box into his pocket.
Chiang Tin-Yeung was dumbfounded.
Liang Kun felt like he couldn't face anyone:
"It's one thing to snatch mine, but you're snatching Mr. Chiang's too?"
Lin Feng righteously said:
"These are cigars my big boss rewarded me with. Can't I have them?"
Liang Kun awkwardly said:
"Mr. Chiang, please forgive me. This kid was led astray by me since he was young. My fault, my fault."
Chiang Tin-Yeung recovered and smiled:
"Ah Feng is a man of passion. If he likes it, just give it to him."
Only then did Liang Kun breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Fu had already stepped forward, took out a cigar cutter, trimmed them for everyone, and then slowly lit them.
Chiang Tin-Yeung smoked his big cigar, feeling inexplicably better.
Chiang Tin-Sung had said that the cigar-snatching game between Liang Kun and Lin Feng was unique; Lin Feng only snatched Liang Kun's cigars and disdained to snatch those of other Hung Hing hall masters.
That was because Lin Feng was only close to Liang Kun.
Now, Lin Feng snatching his cigar also showed an attitude: he supported him just like Liang Kun did.
"My elder brother is truly lucky to have such loyal brothers."
Even though Chiang Tin-Sung was currently in the hospital's operating room, Chiang Tin-Yeung still had to say this.
"Since the culprit has been found, there's no need to rush. We first need to determine my elder brother's condition."
Chiang Tin-Yeung quickly made a decision.
Lin Feng was right, they were Young and Dangerous, not police.
They only needed to know one thing—who was most likely to do such a thing.
Now, three people had been identified: Crow, Smiling Tiger, and Yiu Yeung.
No matter if Chiang Tin-Sung recovered or not, Hung Hing would retaliate. At that time, they would just eliminate all three of them.
What?
What if they killed the wrong person?
What a joke, they were a Triad.
If they killed the wrong person… at most, they'd burn more joss paper for those three on their death anniversaries next year. What else could they do?
Ding-a-ling.
Chiang Tin-Yeung and Liang Kun both looked over. Lin Feng shook his phone:
"It's Ah Bun from Tung Sing."
He answered the phone and pressed the speakerphone.
"Uncle Ben, this is Lin Feng."
Uncle Ben's deep voice came through:
"Ah Feng, Szeto Ho-Nam called me. How is Mr. Chiang?"
Lin Feng retorted:
"Mr. Chiang?"
"Which Mr. Chiang?"
"The Mr. Chiang who was attacked by you all is still lying in the operating room, his life hanging in the balance."
"The Mr. Chiang from Siam has returned to Hong Kong and is now beside me, anxiously awaiting the results of the surgery."
"Uncle Ben, you Tung Sing truly gave us a big surprise."
Uncle Ben was silent for a moment before sighing:
"We didn't want something like this to happen…"
Lin Feng smiled coldly:
"The other uncles of the Triad truly didn't want it, but you…"
Uncle Ben asked curiously:
"What about me?"
Lin Feng said faintly:
"Hard to say."
Chiang Tin-Yeung and Liang Kun's hearts stirred. They exchanged glances, both equally surprised.
A terrifying thought appeared in their minds.
Both of them suddenly felt a chill.
Uncle Ben's voice also turned cold:
"Ah Feng, you can't just say things carelessly."
"Are you trying to start a war between the two Triads?"
Lin Feng retorted:
"Do you dare?"
"It was your Five Tigers who attacked Camel and Mr. Chiang. If this matter gets out, it's insubordination and disrespecting ancestors. You Tung Sing truly have a fine family tradition."
"Should we let our friends in the jianghu arbitrate and see who wins the hearts of the people?"
Uncle Ben snorted coldly,
"We admit to the actions of those rebellious disciples."
"But we Tung Sing are not to be slandered like this."
Lin Feng found it amusing:
"Reputation?"
"Uncle Ben, the fact that I can speak to you properly is me giving you some face."
"If you don't appreciate it, then we'll have a proper showdown."
Uncle Ben was momentarily stunned. He had never expected Lin Feng to suddenly start cursing.
Chiang Tin-Yeung was also stunned. His first impression of Lin Feng was very good; talking to him didn't sound like a jianghu boss at all, but suddenly he felt that familiar jianghu flavor.
Liang Kun felt quite relieved. This was the little brother he had brought up, after all.
In the past, Lin Feng's speech was extremely full of curses, but later he improved, becoming refined and lacking any jianghu habits. Now, suddenly hearing such a sentence, he felt quite a sense of familiarity.
Lin Feng said sinisterly:
"Speaking nicely, you give me the runaround. Am I giving you face?"
"Don't forget, I am the hall master of Causeway Bay."
"Don't you think I know what that scoundrel Szeto Ho-Nam did?"
Uncle Ben was silent for a long time before saying:
"What do you know?"
Lin Feng sneered:
"Because of me, Szeto Ho-Nam has almost no rivals in Causeway Bay, and there's no friction between our two halls…"
"But it's strange, for a certain period, a large group of Szeto Ho-Nam's men suddenly disappeared in Causeway Bay."
"Uncle Ben, you definitely know where they went, right?"
Uncle Ben secretly cursed Szeto Ho-Nam for being unreliable.
Such a secret matter being noticed by Lin Feng, that troublesome guy, was truly a fatal problem.
"Why aren't you answering?"
"I originally thought Szeto Ho-Nam wanted to prepare something big, to hit me hard."
"But when I had people investigate, I was surprised to find that Szeto Ho-Nam, that scoundrel, was actually investigating his own people!"
Chiang Tin-Yeung and Liang Kun were truly stunned.
What the hell was going on?
Szeto Ho-Nam was Qing Long Hu, the Leader of the Five Tigers, yet he wasn't tracking rival Triads, wasn't tracking Hung Hing in Causeway Bay, but was tracking the movements of the other Four Tigers?
Was he crazy?
Then, the two suddenly came to their senses, their eyes filled with horror:
"If Szeto Ho-Nam was tracking the other three Tigers, would he have known about their actions early on?"
"Since he knew, why didn't he do anything?"
"Was this his intention or Uncle Ben's instruction?"
Lin Feng's output continued:
"Szeto Ho-Nam's patron isn't just Lok Bing-yun, but also you."
"According to my observation, he seems to be closer to you."
"After all, you two are alike… Szeto Ho-Nam's constant talk of grand principles, that's definitely something he learned from you."
"The problem arises."
"Szeto Ho-Nam tracked Crow and the others for so long, and didn't notice their actions at all?"
"That would be underestimating Szeto Ho-Nam's skill too much, wouldn't it?"
"No matter what, he's still Qing Long Hu among the Five Tigers. His subordinate, Ho Yong, although not as good as your subordinates Cheuk Kolok and Leopard, is still a top-notch fierce man."
"Szeto Ho-Nam is not like Crow. Crow is a madman. He even dares to chop Lord Guan's statue. Is there anything he wouldn't dare to do?"
Uncle Ben angrily said:
"You're investigating them?"
Lin Feng said as a matter of course:
"I'm a hall master of Hung Hing, and they are bosses of Tung Sing. If I don't investigate them, what if I suffer a loss at their hands?"
"We're all thousand-year-old foxes, so let's not talk about ghost stories. Who doesn't know who?"
Uncle Ben was half-choked by Lin Feng.
Lin Feng gave him a completely different feeling than before.
What was Lin Feng like before?
Well, he was a guy who could fight and talk, like a negotiator on TV.
For the matter of Fine B being killed, Lin Feng was nominated by Hung Hing to negotiate. At that time, Lin Feng left a deep impression on him.
He was polite, measured, neither humble nor arrogant, highly skilled, and could precisely pinpoint their bottom line.
Now, Lin Feng gave him a completely different feeling; where was the twenty-year-old youth? This was clearly a thousand-year-old fox spirit who had become human.
"That's right, Szeto Ho-Nam investigating Crow and his gang was at my instruction."
Lin Feng sneered, "I knew it was you. Otherwise, with Szeto Ho-Nam's personality, why would he think of investigating the other Five Tigers?"
People's personalities are very strange. Szeto Ho-Nam constantly spouted grand theories; even though he was a Young and Dangerous member of a Triad, he acted more righteous than the police.
Of course, this wasn't Szeto Ho-Nam's true nature, but the words he spoke everyday, constantly, inevitably influenced him.
The result was that his original intention wasn't like that, but his actions were guided by his words.
Tracking Crow and others was something Szeto Ho-Nam couldn't do.
"However, I didn't know in advance what Crow and his gang were going to do."
"Speaking of which, that was still influenced by you."
Lin Feng cursed, "Don't try to pin that on me."
Uncle Ben said seriously, "It's not pinning blame. You showed great prowess in our negotiations, secured many benefits for Hung Hing, and also caused Szeto Ho-Nam a major setback..."
Wasn't it a major setback?
Lin Feng's 'Fierce Tiger Climbing the Mountain' directly knocked Szeto Ho-Nam unconscious.
"Szeto Ho-Nam then asked me how he could surpass you."
Lin Feng asked, puzzled, "What does that have to do with Szeto Ho-Nam tracking Crow?"
Uncle Ben said indifferently, "I told him that you have strengths, and he should learn from you."
"You have such great talent, yet you stick to your duties and don't cross the line."
"If there's a positive example, there must naturally be a negative one. I gave him a suggestion: to keep an eye on Yiu Yeung and his gang."
"I saw through those three guys a long time ago; they are restless and are bound to do something outrageous."
"It's just that I didn't expect... these three guys would actually conspire to murder their master!"
Uncle Ben was essentially admitting that the assailants who attacked Camel and Chiang Tin-Sung were Crow and his two accomplices.
Lin Feng chuckled coldly, "You've admitted it yourself, haven't you?"
"You used Crow and his gang to eliminate Camel."
Uncle Ben angrily said, "That's slander!"
"If I wanted to become Chairman, would I need to go through so much trouble?"
"If I told Camel, he would definitely give it to me."
Lin Feng continued to sneer.
Uncle Ben said helplessly, "Szeto Ho-Nam discovered the anomaly immediately and told me."
"I asked him if he told Camel about Crow and his gang's actions, would Camel believe him?"
"Camel is an old-school Jianghu man; he always protects his own."
"He would definitely not believe such an act of deceiving one's master and destroying one's ancestors."
"Even your Big Brother Liang Kun's patricide was only because Shangyi went too far..."
Liang Kun said coldly, "Old man, do you want to die?"
Uncle Ben sighed, "Look, those of us who are in the game, especially those who have reached our level, are the most protective of rules."
"Acts of deceiving one's master and destroying one's ancestors, although they occasionally happen in the Jianghu, those who commit such acts are basically ostracized from the Jianghu... Of course, Liang Kun's situation was an exception."
"This violates the very foundation of our Triad."
What is the foundation of a Triad?
Loyalty and righteousness.
Don't look at Liang Kun scoffing at "loyalty and righteousness"; it is indeed the foundation of a Triad.
If loyalty and righteousness are gone, then younger brothers can chop down Big Brothers, Big Brothers have no one they trust, and the entire Triad system would fall into chaos.
This is the most basic thing.
"Camel's personality is just like that. If Szeto Ho-Nam went to persuade him, he would probably get a few slaps and be lectured for half a day."
"If I went to persuade him, that would be even worse."
"I probably wouldn't even be considered a brother anymore."
"He's just that kind of old-school person."
Uncle Ben felt very frustrated as he spoke.
Chiang Tin-Yeung sighed, and indeed, he quite trusted Uncle Ben's statement.
No other reason, Camel was just such an old-school Jianghu man.
If a younger brother had trouble, he never refused, no matter how big the trouble the younger brother caused, Camel would bear it.
A Big Brother taking in younger brothers must be able to support them.
Otherwise, why would you take in younger brothers?
If you don't support your younger brothers when they have trouble, then why should they support you when you have trouble?
This is a very old-school Jianghu philosophy: Big Brothers lead by example, and younger brothers follow their Big Brother's example to roam the Jianghu.
To make Camel believe that his younger brothers were all rebellious would be worse than killing him.
"However, I didn't do nothing. I had Szeto Ho-Nam strengthen Camel's protection."
"It's just that the initiative wasn't with us, but in the hands of Crow and his gang..."
"You can guard against a thousand things, but a thief in the family is hard to guard against."
"Alas!"
Uncle Ben let out a long, mournful sigh, and those who heard it felt incredibly sad.
Chiang Tin-Yeung and Liang Kun both felt some sympathy for him.
Lin Feng said coldly, "Uncle Ben, are you complaining to me?"
"I am a Hung Hing Hall Master, not a Tung Sing Uncle. What do your difficulties have to do with me?"
Chiang Tin-Yeung and Liang Kun were both stunned, they exchanged glances, secretly cursing themselves for being foolish.
That's right!
This was Tung Sing's internal affair; what did it have to do with them?
They almost got led astray by Uncle Ben, that old fox, that was a close call!
Chiang Tin-Yeung and Liang Kun's gazes changed completely.
The two were true Big Brothers of Hung Hing; they had always been the ones manipulating people, never the other way around.
But now, they were almost fooled by someone.
An unprovoked anger rose in their hearts.
Uncle Ben also cursed inwardly. He had spoken so tragically, what was wrong with Lin Feng?
Did this guy have no sympathy?
Didn't he hear that this guy was a famous philanthropist who invested heavily in education in his Mainland?
Was this guy faking it?
Uncle Ben had no idea what Lin Feng often told his subordinates: when you're in the game, you need to have compassion, but not a savior complex.
They were all Young and Dangerous members in the game, where were the good people in a Triad?
It was simply a rare occurrence.
Even if you wanted to sympathize, even if it was with a homeless person on the street, you wouldn't sympathize with a Young and Dangerous member in a Triad.
Moreover, it wasn't even a Young and Dangerous member from his own Triad, so there was even less reason to sympathize.
Lin Feng always understood things clearly.
"Uncle Ben, I personally sympathize with Tung Sing's predicament."
"However, don't forget one thing: our Mr. Chiang is still in the operating room right now."
"We don't know if he's alive or dead."
"Do you know what this means?"
"Mr. Chiang's current condition was caused by Tung Sing; you must compensate us."
"This is our demand, something you must abide by."
"You'd better pray that Mr. Chiang doesn't have an accident. If he does, Tung Sing can start preparing now."
Uncle Ben's heart sank, "What do you mean?"
Lin Feng sneered, "What do I mean?"
"Of course, it means war!"
Uncle Ben roared, "I told you, this was done privately by Crow and his gang! Even our Leader is in unknown condition!"
"Why are you still bothering us?"
Lin Feng said coldly, "Isn't Crow one of your Five Tigers? When did he betray Tung Sing? Why was there no announcement in the Jianghu?"
"Whatever you do with Crow later, that's your internal affair."
"We Hung Hing are reasonable; we only look at reality."
"The fact is, our Mr. Chiang was attacked by Tung Sing, and you must compensate us."
"Otherwise, let's start a major Jianghu war."
Uncle Ben was quite exasperated, "You're just a Causeway Bay Hall Master, and you dare to talk about starting a war between two Triads?"
"Talk like that when you're the Dragon Head."
Chiang Tin-Yeung's gaze was stern, "Ah Bun, I am Chiang Tin-Yeung, the acting Dragon Head of Hung Hing."
"Ah Feng's words are the words of Hung Hing."
"I said it!"
Uncle Ben hung up the phone in anger.
Liang Kun chuckled coldly, "Ah Bun is truly an old fox, daring to use words to sow discord among us."
"Does he think we're fools?"
"Our stance is so clear..."
"Mr. Chiang, what do you think?"
"Should we notify the Hall Masters to prepare?"
Chiang Tin-Yeung was about to speak when the operating room light went out!
***
Chapter 188: Chiang Tin-Sung Considers Retreat (Early Month for Monthly Tickets, Happy New Year!)
Nam Tsai emerged, wearing a mask, his voice weary:
"The surgery was a success. Mr. Chiang's life has been saved!"
Chiang Tin-Yeung let out a long sigh of relief.
Lin Feng patted Nam Tsai's shoulder:
"Nam Tsai, you're amazing!"
Nam Tsai almost toppled over from Lin Feng's pat:
"Brother Feng, I've been standing for four and a half hours. I really can't stand anymore."
Lin Feng pointed at Chiang Tin-Yeung and said:
"This is Mr. Chiang's brother, and also our acting Dragon Head. You worked so hard today, Mr. Chiang will definitely reward you."
Chiang Tin-Yeung smiled and said:
"Nam Tsai, you saved my big brother. I'll give you a big red packet."
Nam Tsai quickly said respectfully:
"Greetings, Mr. Chiang."
"But if you want to give me a reward, could you ask Brother Feng to sell me some quota for Baisheng Fund?"
Chiang Tin-Yeung was startled:
"Baisheng Fund?"
Lin Feng laughed heartily:
"Alright, Nam Tsai, since you worked so hard today, I'll give you a one million quota."
He then explained to Chiang Tin-Yeung,
"Baisheng Fund is a fund I set up, managed by Chen Taotao. However, because of my troubles, he's currently hospitalized in our Hung Hing Triad Hospital."
"The fund's operation will have to wait a bit."
Chiang Tin-Yeung immediately said:
"In that case, I'll just give you a one million hong kong dollar red packet."
Nam Tsai repeatedly said:
"Thank you, Mr. Chiang, thank you, Brother Feng."
Chiang Tin-Yeung asked:
"How is my big brother doing?"
Nam Tsai said:
"Mr. Chiang was actually very lucky. If it had been three centimeters further, it would have pierced his liver."
"But thankfully, he was saved."
"However, he's resting now. For him to recover, it will have to wait until tomorrow."
"He should wake up by tomorrow morning."
Chiang Tin-Yeung was overjoyed:
"Thank you, Nam Tsai."
Nam Tsai shrugged:
"I'm a Triad doctor, and Mr. Chiang is also my Leader. I'll definitely do my best."
Chiang Tin-Yeung patted him heavily:
"You're thoughtful. Go get some rest."
Lin Feng called Li Fu:
"Inform all the hall masters that Mr. Chiang is safe and sound, so everyone can get a good night's sleep."
Li Fu asked:
"Should we have them make some preparations?"
Lin Feng asked Chiang Tin-Yeung:
"Mr. Chiang, what do you say?"
Chiang Tin-Yeung shook his head:
"No need. The brothers have been tense all day and are exhausted. No need to prepare."
"However, for the halls bordering Tung Sing, just keep an eye on their movements."
Li Fu took the order and started making calls.
Liang Kun said:
"Ah Feng, how about we recruit some people from your Thunder Security Company to take over Mr. Chiang's protection?"
"Mr. Chiang, the hospital's security would be better off with Ah Feng. His Security Company is quite formidable; it even defeated the Flying Tigers."
"Thunder Security Company has all the necessary licenses. Not only can they carry weapons, but high-ranking personnel can even carry guns."
Chiang Tin-Yeung was greatly surprised:
"What? They even defeated the Flying Tigers' special unit?"
Lin Feng was even more surprised:
"Mr. Chiang knows about my Security Company?"
Chiang Tin-Yeung shrugged:
"You don't hide it from others. Big brother told me a long time ago that you opened a Thunder Security Company and made a big splash at the Grand Hyatt Hotel..."
"Ah Feng, during my time in Hong Kong, I'm afraid I'll need the protection of your Security Company."
Lin Feng nodded:
"That's no problem."
"However, my Security Company operates through legitimate channels."
"Later, Mr. Chiang will sign a security agreement with me."
Chiang Tin-Yeung was startled:
"Does it have to be that strict?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"The more rigorous the process, the better it can handle various complex situations."
"At least, the police won't bother us arbitrarily."
"When you're out there, making money is the priority."
"Everything else is illusory; only money is the most important."
"We don't want a Triad war, but when a big war really comes, we won't be afraid."
"The police hate Triad wars more than we do. It leads to all sorts of problems and also brings public pressure."
"They will find ways to control such battles."
"They might even control important figures in our Triad."
"At this time, security personnel are very necessary."
Chiang Tin-Yeung understood immediately:
"Security personnel operate through legitimate and legal channels, so the police can't do anything to them."
Lin Feng smiled and said:
"Exactly."
Chiang Tin-Yeung praised:
"That's a very good idea."
"Don't worry, I will sign a top-level security agreement with Thunder Security."
Lin Feng smiled and said:
"Mr. Chiang, I must remind you, our Thunder Security charges a lot."
Chiang Tin-Yeung was astonished:
"Big brother told me that you established Thunder Security to collect protection fees more conveniently. Do you really conduct legitimate business?"
Liang Kun laughed:
"Mr. Chiang, you just said that Ah Feng's security personnel made a name for themselves at the Grand Hyatt Hotel."
"You wouldn't believe how many business cards he collected."
"At that time, the top floor exhibition hall of the Grand Hyatt Hotel almost became his private social ball."
"Coupled with Cheuk Tze-keung's excessive actions recently, the demand for security among Tycoons and celebrities has greatly increased."
"Even though Thunder Security Company trains with the Flying Tigers, their reputation for defeating the Flying Tigers has spread."
Lin Feng smiled:
"I had people spread it."
"Cheuk Tze-keung successively extorted 1.04 billion hong kong dollars from the Tycoon and another 800 million from the second richest Tycoon. These Tycoons are extremely worried."
Chiang Tin-Yeung kept shaking his head:
"Cheuk Tze-keung is indeed mighty, but he's not far from death."
"We don't do such things."
"However, Ah Feng, you can publicize Cheuk Tze-keung's story."
"That way, your Thunder Security can become even more popular."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Those who are qualified to know about Cheuk Tze-keung's affairs must be resourceful Tycoons, so I don't need to publicize it."
"As for the Tycoons who haven't heard of Cheuk Tze-keung's deeds, Cheuk Tze-keung won't seek them out, and their economic strength isn't sufficient anyway."
Cheuk Tze-keung's strict selection was no joke.
He only targeted the Old Four Families, and he truly didn't care about anyone else.
Cheuk Tze-keung had successively brought him 1.84 billion hong kong dollar, and Lin Feng really didn't want to publicize his affairs throughout Hong Kong. It would be too regrettable to let such a good cash cow be caught so early.
Of course, the reason Lin Feng used was also legitimate:
"Although I am the hall master of Causeway Bay, I am still in the business circle, so I must show respect to the Tycoon and the second richest Tycoon."
Chiang Tin-Yeung nodded:
"Social etiquette is important. You have to follow the rules of the circle you're in. Ah Feng, you have good judgment."
Liang Kun gave Lin Feng a strange look. He knew that his brother was preparing to hit the Tycoon hard.
The reason was Lin Feng's eighth sister, Fang Ting. Her father, Fong Chun-San, had a kindness towards the Tycoon, but when Fong Chun-San was in trouble, the other party didn't even utter a sound.
With Lin Feng's petty personality, how could he tolerate the Tycoon?
However, Liang Kun would not expose it.
The group waited for a while at the hospital. Li Fu returned after finishing his call: "Brother Feng, I have already informed all the hall masters."
"Several hall masters are very happy."
"Our people will arrive in ten minutes. I've had someone open a presidential suite in our hotel."
Chiang Tin-Yeung smiled and said:
"Ah Feng, you also run a hotel?"
Lin Feng complained:
"I've only been in business for three years. Where would I get that kind of financial power?"
"This hotel was given to me by Mr. Chiang and the hall masters as a reward after we took down Chung Ching Society."
This statement was half-true. Lin Feng had enough money to open a hotel, but the return on investment was clearly insufficient. He wouldn't invest in hotels.
However, after the Chung Ching Society was wiped out, Chiang Tin-Sung directly allocated several hotels to him. What was there to hesitate about? Of course, he accepted them.
Thus, he acquired several hotels under his name.
Lin Feng wouldn't waste them carelessly. He introduced management techniques from later generations, and surprisingly, the hotel's occupancy rate was quite good, and its reputation was slowly changing—after all, it was previously managed by the villain Ding Yixie, so its image was a bit poor.
Chiang Tin-Yeung's gaze towards Lin Feng changed again.
Everyone settled Mr. Chiang, and personally watched as Wang Jianjun and Lok Tin-hung brought people to tightly secure the ward. Even the hospital entrance had assigned posts.
This series of actions made Chiang Tin-Yeung exclaim at the professionalism:
"Ah Feng, the Triad Hospital is our important territory. How about I sign an agreement with you in the name of the Triad?"
Lin Feng was stunned:
"Mr. Chiang wants our Security Company to be permanently stationed at the Triad Hospital?"
Chiang Tin-Yeung asked:
"What do you think?"
Lin Feng spoke truthfully:
"Mr. Chiang is sending me money, so of course I'm willing."
"The question is whether other hall masters will have objections?"
Chiang Tin-Yeung shook his head:
"When we're out here, who can say they won't end up lying here?"
"My Leader of Hung Hing is lying here today. Where are the others?"
"Do you want them to go to a public hospital?"
Liang Kun mocked,
"What's the difference between that and entrusting your life to someone else?"
"Who knows if a public hospital will become the lair of some criminal syndicate."
Chiang Tin-Yeung was startled,
"Who has such great ability to use a public hospital as their lair?"
Liang Kun explained,
"Mingxin Hospital is one of Hong Kong's public hospitals, but Johnny Wang built a base in the Mingxin Hospital morgue."
Chiang Tin-Yeung was speechless for a long time, then sighed,
"Are Hong Kong's underworld figures really that ruthless?"
That's a public hospital, for crying out loud.
Hong Kong is really dangerous; Siam is much better.
No, once my Leader wakes up, I need to quickly sort things out and return to Siam.
I can't stay in Hong Kong!
Liang Kun and Brother Lin Feng personally escorted Chiang Tin-Yeung to the hotel, with Li Jie leading people for protection.
During Chiang Tin-Yeung's stay in Hong Kong, Li Jie would be his bodyguard.
After leaving the hotel, Lin Feng said to Liang Kun,
"Brother Kun, you are one step closer to the position of Leader."
Liang Kun shrugged,
"Chiang Tin-Sung isn't dead, and Chiang Tin-Yeung is back. What kind of Leader am I going to be?"
Lin Feng smiled,
"You won't go wrong if you listen to me. Perhaps on the sixth day of next month, at Sam Shing Temple, it won't be Mr. Chiang but you who confers the title on Big D."
Liang Kun sighed,
"We're brothers for life. Your support is enough for me."
Lin Feng shook his head repeatedly,
"You still don't trust me?"
Liang Kun shrugged,
"It's not that I don't trust you. Chiang Tin-Sung isn't dead. How can I become the Leader if he doesn't step down?"
Lin Feng shook his head repeatedly,
"Forget it, forget it. You'll know when the time comes."
Waving his hand, Chicken scurried over to Lin Feng,
"Brother Feng, what are your orders?"
Lin Feng said,
"You all understand what happened today, right?"
Chicken nodded emphatically.
The longer he stayed with Liang Kun, the more surreal he felt. What kind of world was this, constantly overturning his worldview?
Camel was such a good person, so how did he raise three ungrateful wolves?
But then he thought about how Fine B so doted on Chan Ho-Nam, and didn't he still raise a freeloader... Chicken calmed down.
"Brother Kun's safety is entrusted to you all."
Chicken nodded emphatically,
"Brother Feng, even if you didn't say anything, I would still strengthen the Boss's protection."
He bumped Mo Chiu-Nam,
"Right, Ah Wu."
Mo Chiu-Nam said seriously,
"Brother Feng, don't worry. To kill the Boss, you'll have to step over me first."
Chicken was stunned,
"Huh, why aren't you talking about more money?"
Mo Chiu-Nam rolled his eyes,
"I am Brother Kun's lifelong bodyguard; that was agreed upon from the start."
"Don't insult my professional ethics."
Lin Feng laughed heartily, took out a check, signed it, and handed it to Mo Chiu-Nam,
"If you can improve your professional abilities, I will not be stingy with money."
"Your previous bet in the fight against Tin Hung is still valid."
Mo Chiu-Nam was overjoyed,
"Thank you, Brother Feng."
He gritted his teeth and said,
"I will definitely successfully challenge Lok Tin-hung."
That's ten million hong kong dollars.
Chicken shrank his neck; clearly, he didn't think highly of Mo Chiu-Nam.
However, he didn't escape either,
"Siu Gai, you also need to improve your strength. For our lineage, we don't need to be exceptionally strong, but at least we can't let people just hit us casually…"
"Your skills aren't good enough."
Chicken said with a bitter face,
"That Tin Hung is a pervert; I can't beat him."
Lin Feng mocked,
"Then you'd better be careful. In another two years, if you can't even beat Ah Sang, I'll personally deal with you."
Chicken was stunned,
"Ah Sang? Tin Yeng-San? How could I not even beat him?"
Lin Feng smiled,
"I've remembered what you said, alright?"
Chicken suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Tin Yeng-San was only seven years old; it was normal for him not to be able to beat himself. In another two years, that kid would still be a child. He couldn't possibly not be able to beat a child, could he?
Once in the car, Chicken was still unsettled.
Liang Kun asked,
"You're so distracted; which hot chick has charmed you?"
Chicken smiled bitterly,
"Brother Feng's words have left me distracted, Boss. Is Ah Sang very powerful?"
Liang Kun stroked his chin and said,
"You know, A Feng rarely takes on younger brothers."
"But as for the younger brothers he does take on, you know the strength of Xiao Fu, Tin Hung, Jian Jun, Jianguo, and Li Jie."
"But I have to tell you, he has never valued Ah Sang as much as anyone else."
Chicken exclaimed,
"Isn't it because Tin Yeng-San resembles him when he was young?"
Liang Kun chuckled,
"I've been constantly beating that kid, but from the age of seventeen, I was completely no match for him."
Chicken was dumbfounded.
"Siu Gai, you need to work hard."
"If you are defeated by Ah Sang in your teens…"
Chicken gritted his teeth and said to Mo Chiu-Nam,
"Ah Wu, take me with you when you challenge Tin Hung. No matter what, I need to improve my strength, otherwise, if I'm really defeated by Ah Sang in his teens, that would be too embarrassing!"
Mo Chiu-Nam glanced at him through the rearview mirror,
"As long as you can endure the pain."
Chicken's face was sour. It had to be said, Lok Tin-hung really hit hard when he fought.
When Chiang Tin-Yeung woke up, Li Jie handed him a phone,
"Mr. Chiang is awake and wants to see you."
Chiang Tin-Yeung was startled,
"Why didn't you call me earlier?"
Li Jie explained,
"Mr. Chiang needs to eat. He's very safe in the Triad Hospital, so I didn't call you."
"Mr. Chiang called about twenty minutes ago."
Chiang Tin-Yeung then relaxed,
"Then let's go quickly."
Li Jie naturally complied,
"Brother Fu sent word that Camel is also fine."
"Around one o'clock last night, Situ called him to say Camel had woken up."
Chiang Tin-Yeung was very surprised,
"Are the Causeway Bay connections very good?"
Li Jie was very confused,
"It's quite harmonious, I guess. Anyway, Situ doesn't dare to raise his voice in front of us. Brother Feng knocked him out with one slap."
Chiang Tin-Yeung was stunned to hear this.
Is this the style of the Leader of the Tung Sing Five Tigers?
But thinking about it, it made sense. Situ was knocked unconscious by Lin Feng with one slap. If they hadn't been in negotiations at the time, Lin Feng might have even slapped him to death.
Situ had no ability to resist in front of Lin Feng, so it seemed he really wouldn't dare to raise his voice.
"Mr. Chiang, this place is very close to the Triad Hospital, only a five-minute drive… This was specially arranged by Brother Feng."
"We have plenty of time. Breakfast is ready. How about we eat first and then go?"
Chiang Tin-Yeung thought that made sense; there really wasn't much difference in that amount of time.
So, after smoothly finishing breakfast, Chiang Tin-Yeung got into the car arranged by Li Jie. He asked,
"Are there any other news from the Jianghu (underworld)?"
Li Jie thought for a moment,
"Logically, there should be news from Tung Sing, but it's very strange; there's not a single bit of information."
"This is very unusual."
Chiang Tin-Yeung pondered for a while, then said,
"Perhaps A Bun and the others also have to wait until Camel and the others wake up before they can make a move."
"Tung Sing is still somewhat different from our Hung Hing."
Li Jie nodded in agreement.
"Mr. Chiang is right."
Chiang Tin-Yeung naturally talked with Li Jie for a while, and was surprised to find that Li Jie could keep up with his thoughts. He immediately developed a desire to recruit him,
"A Jie, do you want to work for me?"
Li Jie politely declined,
"Mr. Chiang, I'm doing very well with Brother Feng."
"I really like the work at the Security Company and don't particularly want to do specific things within the Triad."
To dispel Chiang Tin-Yeung's thoughts, he said,
"I'm a former SWAT officer…"
Chiang Tin-Yeung felt great regret, but at the same time, he greatly admired Lin Feng's way of managing people. Li Fu already made him envious, and now there was another Li Jie. Lin Feng was truly not to be underestimated.
Upon arriving at the Triad Hospital, they encountered a security check. Even when the guards saw Li Jie, they still followed the rules and registered and inspected them.
Chiang Tin-Yeung showed no impatience, gaining a new understanding of Lin Feng's capabilities.
When he pushed the door open, Chiang Tin-Sung was reading a newspaper.
"Leader, it's really great that you're fine."
Chiang Tin-Sung was naturally very happy to see Chiang Tin-Yeung and waved him over to the bedside,
"Flying overnight from Siam to Hong Kong, it must have been very tiring, right?"
Chiang Tin-Yeung shook his head,
"We are biological brothers."
"Why say such things?"
Chiang Tin-Sung suddenly said,
"Tin-Yeung, why don't you become this Leader? I want to go straight."
