Chapter 241: An Unexpected Person (Happy New Year's Eve)
Lin Feng's hand twitched, and the poker cards had already fallen into his palm, so fast that Liang Kun, the Lin Ho-lung brothers, and Su Su didn't even react.
Immediately after, he fanned the cards open and closed them again.
No one even saw the specific points on the poker cards.
Lin Feng said coldly:
"Once the poker cards are in my hand, as long as I put my hand down, I can conjure any cards you want even with my eyes closed."
Lin Ho-tung, though defeated, refused to show it:
"You already demonstrated that before the gamble."
Lin Feng sneered:
"Is that so?"
He casually dealt three cards:
"Here, these cards are yours."
"Open them and see."
Lin Ho-tung was puzzled but still opened the cards, only to be stunned: three Queens.
Liang Kun asked curiously:
"Ah Dong, what cards?"
Lin Feng said casually:
"A Leopard Flush of Queens."
Lin Ho-tung was truly dumbfounded. What kind of eyesight and hand speed do you have?
He flipped over the poker cards, and sure enough, they were three Queens.
Lin Feng sneered:
"Do you think these are just three Queens?"
Liang Kun spoke for Lin Ho-tung:
"Aren't they?"
Lin Feng sighed,
"Watch closely now."
"To make it easier for you to see, I'll demonstrate a bit slower."
With the poker cards face up, Lin Feng extended one finger and lightly tapped.
The four were astonished!
That Queen of Clubs instantly transformed into a King of Clubs!
Lin Feng tapped them in order, and the other two Queens also turned into two Kings!
All four were dumbfounded!
Lin Feng mocked:
"I haven't even practiced much and have reached this level, so what about those who practice desperately?"
"Ah Dong, going to the casino to gamble is your hobby in your spare time."
"But for the casino, that's how they make a living."
"You use your hobby to gamble against someone's livelihood, and you haven't gone bankrupt. That's truly unbelievable."
"I told you before, you were bound to lose."
"You still don't believe me?"
While lecturing, Lin Feng kept tapping, and the cards on the table sequentially changed from K to A, 2, 3... all the way to Q.
"When I gambled against you, did you really think I was joking?"
"I used all sorts of tricks to set you up."
"Was the first hand just a rival hand?"
"Wrong!"
"That was a rival hand I specifically designed."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
"It was to make you feel unconvinced!"
"Did you think you had incredibly good luck? Only a tiny bit lower than me, and with the next hand, you would definitely win it back?"
"You thought this was a coincidence?"
"Those were the cards I dealt you!"
"Can someone in the underworld believe in coincidences?"
"I was certain that you had an unyielding spirit at the time, and as long as I gave you a decent second hand... you would dare to go all-in."
"Not only all-in, but you would also want to win back the money from before, and even more aggressively."
"Twenty million... that was the amount you wanted to win."
"You must have felt certain of victory back then, right?"
"But unfortunately, a guy like you with no card skills whatsoever is like a fat sheep in my eyes."
"I believe everyone else in the casino looks at you with the same thought as me."
"How could we not ruthlessly fleece such a prime fat sheep?"
Lin Feng casually put away the poker cards, then spread his palm, and the eyes of Liang Kun and the other four widened... Where were the poker cards?!
Of course, they had been stored in Lin Feng's system space.
The so-called intelligence system had a built-in space.
This space had scanning and storage functions.
Lin Feng used this scanning and storage function when he went to collect the 104 million in cash that Cheuk Tze-keung had extorted from the Tycoon.
Otherwise, if Lin Feng had to carry it himself, it would have taken a whole day.
However, with the help of the space, it didn't even take the blink of an eye!
Playing cards was naturally the same.
Lin Feng didn't even need to look at the cards to know what the current hand was.
His one-finger technique was just for show.
Otherwise, this wouldn't be an urban novel; this would be fantasy!
Not even the God of Gamblers was as arrogant as him.
Changing cards was just a small function of the system.
It could be said that when it came to card games, Lin Feng was invincible; he had a cheat!
Lin Ho-tung's expression changed dramatically:
"You, you cheated?"
Lin Feng's face darkened, and he said angrily:
"How can you slander me?"
"How did I cheat?"
"Master Shen didn't even say I cheated, and you're saying I cheated?"
Lin Ho-tung was dumbfounded... You just performed cheating techniques right before our eyes, and that's not cheating?
Are you kidding me?
Lin Feng said righteously:
"This is called skill!"
"Did you see how I cheated?"
Lin Ho-tung shook his head with a grim expression:
"No!"
Truly—no!
Lin Feng openly let him watch, and he watched for a long time but couldn't figure out how the other party made them disappear.
It was simply miraculous.
This skill had already surpassed ordinary cheating techniques, reaching the level of art.
This was absolutely not cheating.
This was perfect art.
Lin Feng waved his hand again, and miraculously, the poker cards returned to his hand, and to everyone's surprise, these poker cards were already packed back into their box.
The four people stared intently at Lin Feng's hands the entire time, yet they didn't see when the poker cards were put back.
Lin Feng lightly tossed the cards and said indifferently:
"Ah Dong, consider these twenty-seven million as a lesson you bought."
"You cannot challenge someone's livelihood with your hobby."
"If you want to gamble again, there's no problem, just come to me."
"Anyway, you'll lose if you go in, so it's better to lose to me!"
Lin Ho-tung was speechless, clearly hit hard.
Lin Ho-lung was delighted and seized the opportunity to say:
"Nine out of ten gambles are rigged; you should quit gambling."
"Ah Feng is already so amazing without even serious practice, imagine how powerful those in the Eight Schools of Cheating must be?"
"You should quit gambling!"
Lin Ho-tung couldn't help but say:
"Ah Feng's gambling skills are probably even better than the legendary God of Gamblers."
Lin Ho-lung was furious:
"You dare to talk back?"
Lin Ho-tung sullenly fell silent.
This gamble had shattered his resolve.
Lin Feng's words pierced his heart with every sentence.
Lin Ho-tung had heard of the reputation of the Eight Schools of Cheating, but he used to think they were just urban legends circulating among the common folk.
He never expected that Lin Feng would actually cheat right under his nose!
The crazy thing was, he didn't even recognize it!
It was absolutely insane!
Su Su looked at Lin Feng with surprise, deeply engraving him in her mind.
Lin Ho-lung struck while the iron was hot:
"Ah Dong, do you still dare to gamble?"
Lin Ho-tung said with a bitter smile:
"Am I crazy to gamble again?"
Thinking back, he had only played two hands and felt his luck was just a little off, secretly cursing himself for being as stupid as a pig.
Now, recalling it clearly, Lin Feng's methods weren't overly sophisticated, but he had precisely hit his psychological bottom line step by step, and he had followed his rhythm like a puppet.
It was truly difficult to defend against.
If Lin Feng was like this, what about others in the casino?
It was simply unimaginable!
Lin Feng was right.
He frequented casinos and hadn't gone bankrupt yet; he truly had good luck.
Lin Ho-lung was extremely happy, repeatedly toasting the Liang Kun brothers three times.
Did he feel pain from losing over twenty million?
Of course, it hurt.
However, what could he do even if it hurt?
His skills were inferior!
It was quite embarrassing to even say it.
Fortunately, Lin Feng didn't push things to the extreme in public, otherwise, Lin Ho-tung would have wanted to die.
The Liang Kun brothers sat for a while, then said their goodbyes and left.
When they reached a secluded spot, Liang Kun asked:
"Ah Feng, aren't you the one who hates drug dealers the most?"
"Yet you didn't lash out in front of Chung Yee Shun; your self-restraint has greatly improved."
Lin Feng pouted:
"Isn't it because today is my Big Brother's Dragon Head banquet?"
"Of course, I can relax."
"The problem is, if I relax, what about everyone else?"
"Are we really going to see blood at your Dragon Head banquet?"
Liang Kun was greatly relieved:
"Ah Feng, we're brothers for life!"
Lin Feng suddenly smiled:
"I see that the Lin Ho-lung family appears very harmonious on the surface, but in reality..."
"Soon, there will be a good show to watch."
Liang Kun was startled:
"A good show?"
Lin Feng smiled and nodded:
"Yes, a good show!"
"However, it's none of our business, so let's just quietly wait for the news, wait for the good tidings from the informants."
Liang Kun couldn't help but ask:
"What exactly is going on?"
Lin Feng looked left and right:
"Big Brother, after the banquet ends, I'll tell you all about it slowly."
Liang Kun nodded repeatedly:
"Be sure to remember to tell me."
There were many people from the underworld, and the two of them couldn't possibly focus solely on Chung Yee Shun.
They hadn't walked many steps when they encountered another table of people.
Chan Yiu quickly introduced them:
"Brother Kun, this is Shui Ling, our Chairman."
Liang Kun immediately said:
"Senior Shui Ling... my condolences!"
Everyone felt that these words were strange.
It wasn't that the words were strange, it was the occasion that was strange.
Today was Liang Kun's Dragon Head banquet, yet he was telling someone else to accept his condolences?
No matter how you listened, it didn't sound festive.
But what was the actual situation?
Tung Sing's third and fourth Dragon Heads had died one after another, and most of the Uncles remaining in Hong Kong had perished.
Shuiling had originally already gone to Amsterdam, to make things easier for Camel.
Unexpectedly, she heard such terrible news and could only return to take on the heavy responsibility.
She truly needed to accept her condolences.
Shuiling raised her wine glass and toasted Liang Kun:
"Ah Kun, Hung Hing's Ko Yee, we Tung Sing will never forget him."
"If it's convenient tonight, could we discuss this privately?"
Liang Kun looked at Lin Feng, who was puzzled:
"Boss, why are you looking at me?"
"Senior Shuiling has invited you, if you're free, you'll definitely go, right?"
Liang Kun sighed:
"I just don't know when I'll have time."
"This banquet, who knows how long it will last."
Shuiling immediately said:
"If not tonight, other times are also fine."
Liang Kun smiled and nodded:
"That's naturally fine."
Shuiling toasted Liang Kun another glass of wine, saying nothing else.
Liang Kun instructed Chan Yiu:
"Senior Shuiling is highly respected, but she just rushed back, so a special table has been set up for her. Make sure to keep her company."
Shuiling was very pleased to hear this.
Of course she knew this was a polite way of saying it; Tung Sing was in such a state now that it wasn't convenient for her to sit at the same table as others.
By rights, Shuiling should have been at Master Shen's table.
It was just that Tung Sing was not in the mood to deal with outsiders at the moment.
Rather than forcing herself to sit at a table with others and affecting everyone's mood, it was better to sit at her own table.
Hung Hing's arrangement suited her perfectly.
Moreover, Liang Kun's arrangement still treated Tung Sing as one of the Top Ten Gangs, showing no disrespect at all.
This reassured Shuiling slightly.
Now was a critical moment for Tung Sing.
Two Dragon Heads killed, three powerful hall masters brought to justice, nearly a hundred core disciples drowned, and more than half of the Uncles massacred—no one would believe that Tung Sing's strength was completely unharmed.
Whether Tung Sing could maintain its position among the Top Ten Gangs depended on the next month.
Shuiling truly had no mood to socialize with others.
However, necessary communication was essential.
Hung Hing's arrangement was just right.
Liang Kun and Lin Feng went to a secluded spot, and Lin Feng asked:
"Boss, do you have concerns?"
Liang Kun shrugged:
"I have no concerns."
"But I heard that Shuiling's business in Amsterdam involves drugs, and I'm afraid you might have an issue with that."
Lin Feng detested drug trafficking, and as his boss, Liang Kun knew him all too well.
"As long as Shuiling doesn't sell that harmful stuff in our Mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, or Macau, I don't care where she sells it."
Liang Kun was stunned:
"You mean...?"
Lin Feng said indifferently:
"Anyway, don't sell drugs within the sphere of influence of our Mainland. If they have the ability to sell drugs to Anglo-Saxon countries, I'll applaud them."
Liang Kun suddenly understood and felt completely relieved:
"You should have said so earlier!"
Lin Feng rolled his eyes.
Liang Kun laughed:
"Once Big D arrives, our Hung Hing will be completely reorganized, and I estimate these things will also move far away from us."
Lin Feng said truthfully:
"We are all from the Hung Society, as long as it doesn't cross my red line, we still have to help when needed, right?"
"As you said, when you're out in the world, making money comes first."
Liang Kun was greatly comforted:
"Brothers for life."
Lin Feng said as a matter of course:
"Brothers for life, if I don't support you, who will I support?"
Liang Kun burst into laughter.
However, as they walked past a table, they suddenly spotted someone.
Lin Feng exclaimed in surprise:
"Brother Bao... why are you here?"
Liang Kun was also stunned:
"Brother Bao..."
The person opposite was Dai Kuen Pao.
Dai Kuen Pao stood up and actively shook hands with Liang Kun:
"Today is Mr. Li's banquet for his promotion to Hung Hing's Dragon Head. I've come to congratulate Mr. Li and to have a drink of wine."
Liang Kun was immediately overwhelmed with flattery.
Good heavens, this was Team Leader Shi from Guangdong Province.
A proper big shot.
To personally come and congratulate him, what did this mean?
Liang Kun immediately said:
"I don't know which kid arranged for you to be here; you should be at the main table."
Li Fu smiled wryly:
"Boss Ding, I arranged this table."
"Brother Bao's identity is not suitable for public display."
Liang Kun nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, yes, Xiao Fu is right, I was presumptuous."
Dai Kuen Pao said helplessly:
"Mr. Li, there's no need to be so nervous; our relationship with Mr. Lin is very good."
"Mr. Li and Mr. Lin's investments in the mainland are highly appreciated by the authorities; we truly approve of them."
"When Mr. Li returns to his Mainland, he will surely feel the warmth of the people of his Mainland."
Liang Kun was startled, then immediately realized that his own investment was merely Lin Feng pulling him along when he went back to his Mainland to set up a factory.
For example, he had a 10% share in the VCD business.
He truly was the younger brother he had raised, still thinking of him.
If it were anyone else, who would think of you?
Lin Feng asked with a smile:
"Brother Bao, you didn't come here with any special mission this time, did you?"
Liang Kun immediately perked up his ears.
Dai Kuen Pao smiled wryly:
"No!"
"The bosses knew that Mr. Li became Chairman, so they specifically sent me to congratulate him."
Liang Kun was overjoyed.
Lin Feng clapped his hands:
"It's truly great that you don't have a mission."
"I happen to want to introduce someone to you."
Dai Kuen Pao was startled:
"Mr. Lin, this is...?"
Lin Feng reminded him:
"Did you forget? We plan to invest tens of millions in our Mainland to purchase some light industrial products."
"However, this business isn't handled by Brother Kun and me; Benny is in charge."
"Taking this opportunity, it's a good time to introduce you two, saving us the trouble of having to go to your place for formalities later."
Dai Kuen Pao quickly said:
"The proper procedures must be followed."
Lin Feng rolled his eyes:
"Do you think he dares to go to your place alone to handle the procedures?"
Dai Kuen Pao said indifferently:
"What's wrong with my place?"
Lin Feng was too lazy to complain and said to Xiao Fu:
"Please invite Benny over and let him come himself."
Li Fu immediately went, and upon arriving at Hon Ban's table, he instantly noticed a different atmosphere.
Hon Ban looked at Lam Wai Lok with a half-smile:
"Lok Siu, as the dignified hall master of Jordan, you wouldn't be unable to come up with even nine million, would you?"
"If you can't, then I'll have to go to Uncle Deng and Chuen Bo to mediate."
"And it won't just be me; everyone present will go."
Big D said disdainfully:
"You can't even come up with nine million, yet you want to gamble with us?"
"I really don't know what you're thinking."
Axe Jun chimed in:
"He's the one who doubted Brother Feng, he's the one who incited us to gamble."
"And he's the one who accepted our bet."
"But now, you accepted the bet, and you can't afford to pay the money?"
"Are you treating us like pushovers?"
Hu Xu Yong sneered:
"Uncle Deng and Chuen Bo are at the main table,"
"Don't think that Wo Luen Shing can default on a debt just because it's one of the Top Ten Gangs."
"A life for a life, a debt for money—that's only natural."
"If your Wo Luen Shing is one of the Top Ten Gangs, then what about us...? Are we not?"
"My Number Gang is not to be trifled with."
Lok Chi-ming said leisurely:
"Is my Sun Luen Shing to be trifled with?"
Axe Jun mocked:
"Or is my Sun Yee On to be trifled with?"
Sister Thirteen shrugged:
"Or, is my Hung Hing to be trifled with?"
Li Fu was immediately enraged:
"Someone dares to bully our Hung Hing?"
Lam Wai Lok was sweating profusely:
"Everyone, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
"I'm the bookmaker, I collect the money, and I will definitely pay you back."
"But I'm not as wealthy as Brother Feng; he can casually write a twenty-million-dollar check without batting an eye."
"I can't do that."
"To be honest, I have these nine million!"
"But it's all black money."
Hon Ban smiled slightly:
"That's alright, just give us an IOU."
Lam Wai Lok hated Lin Ho-tung to death; that useless fellow could lose even with a Leopard Flush, truly disgraceful.
"But I don't have paper and pen."
Li Fu immediately pulled out paper and pen from his pocket and placed them in front of Lam Wai Lok,
"I do!"
As Lin Feng's personal secretary, this was essential!
+++
Chapter 242 Heung Yim's Body Was Covered in Cold Sweat (Happy New Year)
Lam Wai Lok's heart was bleeding.
Thirteen million in dirty money was exchanged for a nine million dollar check.
It had to be cashed tonight.
Otherwise, the interest rate was nine out of thirteen, which meant a large sum every day.
Lin Feng immediately signed the check. Incidentally, his arrival made everyone at the table stand up.
"Everyone, this is my Big Brother's Dragon Head Banquet. A small gamble is for entertainment, a big gamble harms the body. Let's stop while we're ahead."
Axe Jun was in a good mood:
"Mr. Lin speaks, so naturally, there's no problem."
Hu Xu Yong laughed heartily:
"We, the Number Gang, must give Mr. Lin face."
Lok Chi-ming was very respectful:
"We just couldn't stand Lok Siu belittling Hung Hing... so we just had a small gamble with him."
"I imagine Lok Siu shouldn't look down on Hung Hing anymore."
Lam Wai Lok's gaze towards Lok Chi-ming was practically spitting fire.
Axe Jun and Hu Xu Yong exchanged glances, thinking, this Yiqi Hu from Sun Luen Shing isn't a good person either.
He was openly criticizing Lam Wai Lok!
Lok Chi-ming remained expressionless under Lam Wai Lok's glare, but Chuen Bo and Fai Wong, who were with him, wouldn't tolerate the other party staring at their man like that.
Chuen Bo said coldly:
"Lok Siu, Ah Lok just spoke the truth. Do you have a problem with that?"
Fai Wong snorted coldly:
"You started this bet. Even in front of Uncle Deng and Chuen Bo, it would be said the same way."
"Why are you looking at Ah Lok like that? Do you want to fight?"
Lam Wai Lok hated everyone from Sun Luen Shing to death in his heart.
But if he had to fight everyone from Sun Luen Shing... he really wouldn't dare.
It wasn't that Lam Wai Lok was a coward, but that he was a fox.
The foxes of Wo Luen Shing basically used their brains. In a direct fight, only Chuen Bo and Big D were formidable; the others really weren't up to it.
Lin Feng waved his hand:
"Everyone here is from the Triad. If you don't like me, and I don't like you, it's not a big deal."
"Today is my Big Brother's Dragon Head Banquet, so please give me some face, everyone."
"How about we resolve any Triad grudges we have later?"
"Lok Siu?"
Lam Wai Lok was startled and quickly said:
"Brother Feng... please don't listen to Fai Wong's instigation."
Lin Feng smiled:
"How could I listen to Fai Wong's instigation? I'm not a professional card player; it's fine if you look down on my card skills."
"However, if you look down on my Hung Hing because of this, let's have a match after today."
"But this is not the right occasion."
"You agree, right, Ah Le?"
Lam Wai Lok was so scared he almost ran away.
In this short month, if you were to ask who had the most prestige in the Triad, coincidentally, it wasn't Liang Kun but Lin Feng.
Actually, for people who generally don't like to use their brains, Lin Feng truly wasn't the most terrifying.
But Lam Wai Lok was different from those reckless men; he was a fox.
He was most willing to study each opponent.
Lin Feng was the top priority.
Others knew Hung Hing was at its peak, but Lam Wai Lok knew that Lin Feng was the most domineering one.
Almost all the Triad events of this month were related to Lin Feng.
For example, The Ni Family's downfall.
For example, Chung Ching Society's annihilation.
Even the drastic changes in Tung Sing had Lin Feng's involvement.
In just one month, three major Triads experienced severe upheaval, and Lin Feng was completely unaffected... What particularly surprised Lam Wai Lok was that Lin Feng's Triad prestige had indeed risen significantly, but it had by no means reached the point where merely mentioning his name would make the Triad fearful.
Everything is scary when you overthink it.
Lam Wai Lok mused, if he had done all these things... he feared the entire Triad would be terrified of him.
But for Lin Feng, it was no big deal.
One must know that in this short period, he had even caused drastic changes in three major Triads, eliminating two of them.
Besides that, he also took out the Big Circle Gang's Doctor and his crew.
And then, he did many other things.
Every single one of these things was shocking to hear.
This was not someone from the Triad who sought harmony for wealth; this was clearly a harbinger of death reborn!
Yet, such a harbinger of death surprisingly had an excellent reputation in the Triad!
No!
He was practically a paragon of harmony for wealth, a good person loved by all!
The more Lam Wai Lok thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
"Brother Feng, you've misunderstood."
Lok Chi-ming looked at Lam Wai Lok in surprise. How old are you? Are you really going to call him Brother Feng?
Hu Xu Yong and the others immediately understood that Lam Wai Lok had caved!
He had truly caved!
Everyone sneered in unison.
Lin Feng clapped his hands:
"That's right. It's our Hung Hing's honor to have you all at the banquet. Let's all seek harmony for wealth and not damage our relationships."
Lam Wai Lok immediately said:
"That certainly won't happen."
Lin Feng smiled:
"You all go on and play first. Benny, let me introduce you to a friend."
"Big D, please take our friends to have some fun."
Big D said proudly:
"Ah Feng, don't worry. I'll host all our good friends."
Big D looked at Lam Wai Lok with particular disdain, and a hint of glee.
You call Ah Feng "Brother Feng," but Liang Kun and I are sworn brothers.
Compete with me? Hmph!
Hon Ban apologized to everyone and left with Lin Feng.
Only after Lin Feng left did everyone sit down.
Lok Chi-ming and the others didn't even glance at Lam Wai Lok; they chatted and laughed amongst themselves.
Lam Wai Lok, the famous Lok Siu of Jordan, was actually being ostracized!
Lam Wai Lok's hand, hidden under the table, clenched into a fist.
What shame!
But he was an old fox, with good self-control, and he still maintained a gentle smile, as if showing no joy or anger.
Cannot turn hostile!
Once he turned hostile, none of these Triad members would give him any respect.
Wo Luen Shing was one of the Top Ten Gangs, but weren't Sun Luen Shing, Number Gang, and Sun Yee On also among the Top Ten Gangs?
Lok Siu of Jordan was a Triad Boss, but weren't the Five Tigers of Sun Luen Shing, the Five Tigers of Sun Yee On, and Hu Xu Yong also Triad Bosses?
What kind of place was this?
Liang Kun's Dragon Head Banquet for Hung Hing.
The police didn't even show their faces.
If he turned hostile, he might not be able to leave Arrogance Restaurant.
Without the confidence to completely overwhelm others in every aspect, he could only endure.
However, Lok Siu would remember what happened today.
Especially the three people from Sun Luen Shing; he would definitely find an opportunity to get his revenge.
But not now.
The murderous intent in Lam Wai Lok's eyes flashed and disappeared, replaced by a warm smile.
Lam Wai Lok didn't notice that Uncle Deng at the next table looked at him with disappointment, shaking his head slightly.
Uncle Deng sighed to himself.
He brought Lam Wai Lok out because he wanted him to build a good relationship with Lin Feng.
Even if it wasn't a good relationship, at least not to make enemies.
He never expected things to go against his wishes.
It truly made him uncomfortable.
Oh well, oh well!
Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes.
Uncle Deng's momentary distraction was immediately noticed by someone. Heung Yim chuckled and scolded:
"Uncle Deng, are you getting old? Are you spacing out?"
Uncle Deng shook his head:
"I am a bit old, but there's nothing wrong."
"Ah Feng is truly formidable in his youth. Look, when he stood there, everyone automatically stood up. That's quite the prestige."
Heung Yim laughed and chided:
"Ah Feng and Ah Kun are one. If you treat Ah Feng as Ah Kun, then there's no sense of incongruity, right?"
Uncle Deng thought about it and realized it was indeed true.
After eating and drinking their fill, everyone gradually left.
Liang Kun, Lin Feng, and Chan Yiu stood at the entrance, seeing guests off.
After Heung Yim and Axe Jun finished speaking with the three, they were about to leave when Heung Yim turned his head and saw Liang Kun chatting with a familiar person.
His pupils suddenly constricted.
The Special Commissioner!
Heung Yim immediately froze.
Lin Feng followed his gaze and also saw the two enthusiastically conversing:
"Mr. Cheung, would you like to go say hello?"
Heung Yim suddenly snapped back to reality. He was greatly tempted but, after thinking it over, shook his head:
"Next time, next time."
Lin Feng smiled:
"Alright, then another day."
Heung Yim solemnly shook Lin Feng's hand:
"Mr. Lin, Sun Yee On has always been on good terms with Hung Hing. We absolutely have no intention of being enemies with Hung Hing."
Lin Feng said with a strange expression:
"Mr. Cheung, you shouldn't be telling me this; you should be telling my Big Brother."
Heung Yim smiled and, with a bewildered Axe Jun in tow, bid farewell and left.
Lin Feng shrugged and immediately forgot all about Heung Yim.
Meanwhile, in the car, Heung Yim's expression was unusually serious. He said to Axe Jun, who was driving:
"Ah Jun, how are you getting along with Mr. Lin?"
Axe Jun quickly replied:
"We're getting along very well."
"We had a very pleasant conversation."
Only then did Heung Yim smile:
"In the future, when you have nothing to do, spend more time with Mr. Lin."
Axe Jun was startled:
"Big Brother, is there something I don't know?"
Heung Yim trusted Axe Jun very much:
"Hong Kong's return is imminent; there are only a few years left."
"Whether our Sun Yee On can continue to exist depends on the will of the Mainland."
"Over the years, I have been diligently cultivating my relationship with the Mainland."
"To be honest, saying it's about business is just about showing loyalty to Mainland... Everyone can see Mainland's attitude towards Triad."
Axe Jun's heart skipped a beat. He never expected Heung Yim to say such things to him.
"Actually, we are a Triad, which is illegal in Mainland. If we want to contact Mainland officials and continue to survive after Hong Kong's return, we have to work harder than others... Who told us we are a Triad?"
"Fortunately, our efforts were not in vain, and we finally contacted the Special Commissioner."
"The Special Commissioner told us that as long as we are patriotic and law-abiding, then our Sun Yee On will have no problems."
Axe Jun's expression was strange.
Patriotic?
Law-abiding?
Does a Triad even care about such things?
Honestly, he didn't believe it.
Those who join a Triad are never good people. Whether a Triad is patriotic or not depends on the attitude of the Dragon Head.
If the Chairman says he is patriotic, then his subordinates will definitely be patriotic.
Otherwise... is Heung Yim patriotic?
Axe Jun didn't want to guess what his boss was thinking.
As for being law-abiding... that was pure nonsense.
Heung Yim is the Chairman of Sun Yee On and a famous barrister in the underworld, a master at manipulating the law.
But then again, how are Hong Kong's laws defined if not by these barristers?
Saying he is law-abiding seems to be no problem.
"Ever since contacting the Special Commissioner, everyone in Sun Yee On has breathed a sigh of relief."
Axe Jun's expression was strange, and he thought to himself:
"Everyone in Sun Yee On breathed a sigh of relief? Why haven't I heard about it?"
"Am I the only one kept in the dark?"
At this moment, he heard Heung Yim say:
"The uncles all feel relieved. You will be informed at the next meeting."
Axe Jun's feeling of strangeness intensified—why was Heung Yim's conversation so abrupt? It seemed to lack any logic?
"Ah Jun, you have a good relationship with Mr. Lin, right?"
Axe Jun finally couldn't help but say:
"Mr. Cheung, I just answered you."
Heung Yim paused, took off his glasses, and rubbed his brows:
"Oh right, you already told me."
Axe Jun cautiously said:
"Mr. Cheung... are you troubled by something?"
"Who made you angry?"
"Tell me, and I'll take care of him."
Axe Jun said this without any pressure. His previous placement in Causeway Bay by Sun Yee On was due to his exceptional strength.
Otherwise, in a bustling place like Causeway Bay, it would be almost impossible for Sun Yee On to occupy a street.
The Red Pole of Sun Yee On was no joke.
Heung Yim smiled and shook his head:
"It's good that you have the thought."
"But alas..."
"We cannot harbor any hostility towards him."
"Not even in our thoughts."
Axe Jun was greatly surprised and said indignantly:
"Who is this guy?"
Heung Yim said with a bitter smile:
"The Special Commissioner."
Axe Jun immediately fell silent, secretly thinking that Heung Yim was crazy.
A big shot they had gone to such great lengths to curry favor with, and he actually wanted to scheme against him... We are a Triad!
Axe Jun felt strange again:
"Mr. Cheung, this is clearly Liang Kun's Dragon Head banquet for Hung Hing, why are you suddenly talking about this?"
Heung Yim sighed heavily:
"I just saw the Special Commissioner!"
What?!
Axe Jun quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road and turned his head, saying:
"Mr. Cheung, where is the Special Commissioner? We cannot neglect him."
Heung Yim let out a long, faint sigh, and Axe Jun felt goosebumps rise on his skin. He could sense his boss's frustration:
"The Special Commissioner is at Liang Kun's banquet."
Axe Jun was startled,
"What's going on?"
"Does the Special Commissioner have an issue with Liang Kun?"
"I just made peace with Hung Hing, will this be noticed by the Special Commissioner? Will this cause trouble for our Sun Yee On?"
Heung Yim shook his head:
"Don't worry, it won't!"
Axe Jun was surprised again:
"This is..."
Heung Yim sighed:
"It really won't, don't worry."
"At that time, the Special Commissioner was chatting and laughing with Hon Ban of Hung Hing."
Axe Jun asked, puzzled:
"Wasn't Prince at our table?"
"Did Lin Feng call him over?"
Heung Yim was lost in thought.
Axe Jun didn't understand what Heung Yim was worried about. He and Lin Feng had talked quite well.
And the feedback Lin Feng gave was very high-level.
What exactly was going on?
Heung Yim sighed deeply:
"Ah Jun, do you remember me asking you to leave Causeway Bay?"
Axe Jun nodded slightly:
"I remember!"
How could he not remember?
Although it suited his wishes at the time, he was ultimately forced to move.
When had Sun Yee On ever been so cowardly?
Axe Jun remembered it extremely clearly.
"That was because I was warned by the Special Commissioner before."
Axe Jun's pupils contracted slightly.
"Those who are in the underworld naturally try every means to increase their influence."
"At that time, I thought I could control Lin Feng, so I didn't respect him much, but he was so perceptive."
"He immediately realized that I had no backing at all, and was just bluffing."
"And then... I received a warning from the Special Commissioner, and after that, it was naturally the destruction of the Chung Ching Society!"
"Ah Jun, your moving out of Causeway Bay wasn't because we wanted to suppress you, it was truly out of necessity, we had no choice but to avoid it."
"You must not resent me."
Axe Jun chuckled dryly:
"Mr. Cheung, I work for Grandfather. Whatever Grandfather tells me to do, I do."
Heung Yim listened with great satisfaction.
Sun Yee On is a family business. Saying he works for Grandfather, isn't that just working for himself?
Heung Yim sighed:
"After the last incident, I had already greatly overestimated Lin Feng's power."
"Who would have thought I still underestimated him."
"Take the Tung Sing matter, for example. The power of his one hall could contend with three halls of the Tung Sing Five Tigers..."
Axe Jun said with a bitter smile:
"Mr. Cheung, it's not calculated that way."
Heung Yim's eyes lit up:
"It's not?"
Axe Jun gritted his teeth and said:
"Causeway Bay could crush those three halls..."
Heung Yim's face changed.
"If it weren't for yesterday being Camel's funeral, if it weren't in front of Camel's mourning hall, I estimate Causeway Bay could have wiped out the subordinates of Crow and the other two..."
"It's also fortunate that I didn't stay there. If I had, I wouldn't have been able to hold it."
After Axe Jun finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Heung Yim, whose face was deathly pale.
As if he couldn't believe it at all.
This was actually understandable.
Such a terrifying thing, it would be hard for anyone to believe it.
In fact, Axe Jun felt a lingering fear just thinking about it!
It was a good thing he left early; if he had been a step later, he would probably have been finished!
This was no joke.
Heung Yim was, after all, the boss of Sun Yee On, and he quickly recovered:
"Alas, the younger generation is formidable."
"I still underestimated Mr. Lin after all."
"I originally thought he was just an ordinary talented young man."
"But the moment I saw the Special Commissioner, I knew I had still underestimated him."
"If something happened to my Sun Yee On, the Special Commissioner might not come."
"...No, not might not, he definitely wouldn't come."
"But Liang Kun held a Dragon Head banquet, and he actually came to congratulate him in person, out of respect for Lin Feng."
"This significance..."
Axe Jun gave a dry laugh, wanting to comfort Heung Yim:
"Mr. Cheung, could it be that the Special Commissioner came for Liang Kun?"
Heung Yim shook his head:
"No, it's not."
"If he truly came for Liang Kun, then he wouldn't have warned me last time."
"If he truly came for Liang Kun, then it wouldn't have been Lin Feng who came out to guide the Special Commissioner."
"Didn't you see? After Lin Feng's introduction, the Special Commissioner and Hon Ban were chatting and laughing."
"He, he has never smiled at me like that before."
"From this, one can see how important Lin Feng is in the Special Commissioner's heart."
Axe Jun opened his mouth, wanting to say something to comfort him, but then couldn't say anything.
What else was there to say?
Facts speak louder than words.
"As long as Lin Feng is around, Hung Hing will be safer than our Sun Yee On."
"Ah Jun, you have a good relationship with Mr. Lin. Take advantage of your free time to spend more time with Lin Feng."
Axe Jun remained silent.
Heung Yim said seriously:
"I see that in the future of the Triad, whoever builds a good relationship with Lin Feng will be able to get through this period better, and will be able to preserve themselves better."
"Shui Ling's eyes are quite sharp, and she is very proud."
"Even such a proud person has to bow to Liang Kun and Lin Feng... You think about it yourself."
The look in Axe Jun's eyes became even more complex.
