Chapter 269: Big D: Uncle Deng's Death Was Very Ill-Timed
Lam Wai Lok didn't give up and still went forward to check Uncle Deng's pulse.
Uncle Deng was already thoroughly dead; how could there be any breath?
Lam Wai Lok stood stunned on the spot.
Now he really had to run away.
He genuinely couldn't understand how things had turned out this way.
Swearing to the heavens, Lam Wai Lok truly never thought of killing Uncle Deng; at most, it would just be a threat.
Actually, Uncle Deng dared to invite Lam Wai Lok over precisely because he was confident the other party wouldn't kill him.
And it was indeed so; Uncle Deng's few words made Lam Wai Lok recognize the situation, and besides honestly admitting his mistake, he had no other thoughts at all.
Who could have imagined!
The struggle between Lam Wai Lok and Uncle Deng as he was leaving made the old man perform what's called an invincible Fire Wheel!
Man proposes, God disposes.
Lam Wai Lok's face turned pale, and a voice in his heart kept warning him:
"Run! Run quickly! Don't let anyone see!"
Uncle Deng was a special presence in Wo Luen Shing; he was actually the backbone of Wo Luen Shing.
The Chairmen of Wo Luen Shing were not strong; to put it nicely, they were gentle-tempered; to put it not so nicely, they were human stamps.
How many people who are in the Triad have a good temper?
The reason for their gentle temper was weakness!
For example, Chui Gei, who looked like the newly elected Dragon Head of Wo Luen Shing, but how many people would care about him?
Chui Gei's territory was just a dance hall, which Big D had set up for him.
How could he not be gentle?
However, even such a weak Wo Luen Shing Dragon Head, few people dared to scheme against him, because behind him were the uncles of Wo Luen Shing, led by Uncle Deng, holding down the fort.
Killing Chuen Bo might not be a big deal.
Although Chuen Bo's prestige was high, he was not the backbone of Wo Luen Shing. Every time Chuen Bo spat and ranted, Uncle Deng's single word, "Tea time," would make Chuen Bo as obedient as a grandson.
This is what's called prestige.
Uncle Deng's death was a catastrophic event for Wo Luen Shing.
Lam Wai Lok dared not imagine the riot that would ensue if the members of Wo Luen Shing found out Uncle Deng died because of him.
Run!
Run quickly!
Lam Wai Lok thought so, and he acted accordingly.
He ran wildly!
He wished he could run a hundred meters in under nine seconds!
Thud!
Lam Wai Lok was kicked, falling face-first into the dirt!
The Jordan Hall Master was furious:
"Who dares to kick me?"
Li Fu expressionlessly withdrew his leg and said to Ho Ka-Kui, who was standing by, stunned:
"What are you standing there for? Quickly tie him up."
Ho Ka-Kui, with a swollen face, quickly stepped forward and, pulling out a rope from somewhere, tied Lam Wai Lok securely.
Lam Wai Lok was kicked so hard by Li Fu that he was winded, only able to shout, unable to resist, letting Ho Ka-Kui do as he pleased.
"Li Fu, do you want to start a conflict between Hung Hing and Wo Luen Shing?"
Li Fu looked at him mockingly:
"What right do you have to say such things, you kind of guy?"
Lam Wai Lok was enraged and shouted:
"I am the Hall Master of Wo Luen Shing's Jordan; if you dare to bring people to treat me like this, you are starting a conflict between the two Triads."
"Can you bear this responsibility?"
Li Fu's expression didn't change at all, and he mocked:
"Hall Master of Jordan?"
"Not for long."
"Let me introduce you; you probably don't know the person who tied you up, do you?"
"This is Ho Ka-Kui; he is not from my Hung Hing."
Lam Wai Lok felt a bad premonition but still retorted stubbornly:
"I don't know any unknown small fry."
Li Fu sneered:
"Ka-Kui is not some unknown small fry."
"Come, let me introduce you—"
"Ho Ka-Kui, the lead horseman under Lok Chi-ming, the new Dragon Head of Sun Luen Shing."
"Oh, and he used to follow Chuen Bo."
Lam Wai Lok's heart sank.
Li Fu waved his hand, and Lam Wai Lok's pupils suddenly contracted, realizing that the other party was holding a very professional camera!
"I just took some interesting little pictures."
Swish!
Lam Wai Lok's face turned ghastly pale.
Sure enough, Li Fu pouted and said:
"The Triad's atmosphere has really been bad lately; first, there was Crow Lui Yiu-Yeung killing his master, and now there's you, this ungrateful fellow, committing insubordination."
Lam Wai Lok shouted:
"Uncle Deng wasn't killed by me; he slipped and fell down the stairs and died on his own!"
Li Fu mocked:
"How desperate must Uncle Deng have been to commit suicide?"
"Ka-Kui, call Uncle Chuan Bao and tell him about this."
Ho Ka-Kui said with difficulty:
"Brother Fu, I don't have Chuen Bo's phone number."
Li Fu gave him a faint glance, and Ho Ka-Kui's face flushed.
Lam Wai Lok was actually right; to many Triad bosses, Ho Ka-Kui was truly a small figure.
Li Fu pulled out his phone and called Chuen Bo:
"Uncle Chuan Bao, I have unfortunate news for you; Uncle Deng is gone."
"Killed by Lam Wai Lok."
Lam Wai Lok frantically shouted:
"I didn't kill him; Uncle Deng clearly fell down himself."
Bang!
Li Fu wouldn't indulge him and kicked Lam Wai Lok in the mouth.
Pfft!
Lam Wai Lok's mouth gushed blood, along with several teeth.
Ho Ka-Kui shivered nearby.
If Li Fu had treated him like that back then, he probably wouldn't be as neat as he was now.
Li Fu looked at Lam Wai Lok coldly:
"Did I tell you to speak?"
Lam Wai Lok immediately dared not speak.
Li Fu's attitude was very clear: dare to speak more, and he'll kill you!
The other party really wanted to kill him.
Li Fu continued on the phone:
"I'm here at Uncle Deng's two-story villa; I just caught Lam Wai Lok."
"You guys send someone to deal with it."
"Hmm, I have photos from the time that can prove the killer is Lam Wai Lok."
"Okay, I'll send someone to deliver the photos to you later."
"Then I'll take Lam Wai Lok with me; I can dispose of him as I please, right?"
"Good."
Li Fu put away his phone and waved his hand:
"Take this guy to Sun Luen Shing's ancestral temple."
Lam Wai Lok couldn't help but say:
"Li Fu, you are Hung Hing Causeway Bay's Big Boss; how can you work for Sun Luen Shing?"
He had lost several teeth, and his speech was airy, making it difficult for Li Fu and Ho Ka-Kui to discern what he was saying.
Li Fu mocked:
"Don't you know that Hung Hing has always advanced and retreated with Sun Luen Shing?"
"What's more, your betrayal to the Foreigner and your assassination of Fai Wong have been exposed."
"Who among our Triad peers doesn't want to kill you?"
"I came here on my Big Boss's orders, originally intending to negotiate with Uncle Deng."
"I just didn't expect such good luck, to actually encounter you."
"It's a pity Uncle Deng's luck was very bad, to actually encounter an ungrateful wretch like you."
Lam Wai Lok said indignantly:
"Uncle Deng really wasn't killed by me."
Li Fu's expression turned cold:
"Noisy!"
He lightly struck Lam Wai Lok on the back of his head, and the latter fell to the ground unconscious without even a grunt.
Li Fu clapped his hands:
"Let's go!"
Ho Ka-Kui quickly followed.
He didn't need Li Fu to remind him, he consciously got into the driver's seat on the right and drove straight to Sun Luen Shing's ancestral temple.
On the way, Li Fu made several more calls, and by the time the two arrived at the ancestral temple, all the bosses of Sun Luen Shing had arrived!
Lok Chi-ming looked at the unconscious Lam Wai Lok in disbelief:
"Ah Fu, you just captured him like that?"
Li Fu shrugged:
"It was a fluke, I guess."
"I originally took Ka-Kui to negotiate with Uncle Deng, who would have thought I'd run into Lam Wai Lok?"
"And incidentally, I'll tell you all, Uncle Deng is dead."
Master Jin was greatly alarmed:
"Old Deng is gone? I saw him just yesterday, and he was perfectly fine."
Li Fu pointed at Lam Wai Lok, and didn't try to smear him:
"I happened to photograph Lam Wai Lok checking Uncle Deng's pulse. According to Lam Wai Lok, Uncle Deng died from slipping and falling down the stairs."
"But I think it has a lot to do with this guy."
"Alright everyone, I've told you the sequence of events. Lam Wai Lok is here, you can deal with him as you please."
"I need to go back and report!"
Lok Chi-ming quickly said:
"I'll have Ka-Kui send you back."
Li Fu politely refused:
"That's not necessary; Sun Luen Shing's matters are more urgent."
He cupped his fists, bid farewell, and left.
Master Jin praised:
"Mr. Lin's subordinates are truly talented."
Although Li Fu was the Chairman of Thunder Security, he was also considered a Hung Hing member, holding an official position in Hung Hing as a Straw Sandal.
Lok Chi-ming still found it unbelievable:
"I begged Brother Feng to send someone to communicate with Uncle Deng, and now Lam Wai Lok has been caught?"
Li Fu and Ho Ka-Kui appearing outside Uncle Deng's small building was no coincidence.
This was something Lok Chi-ming had requested.
For such a big matter, just making phone calls was useless; it had to be communicated face-to-face.
So, after Lin Feng and Liang Kun discussed it, they sent Li Fu. Sun Luen Shing sent Ho Ka-Kui.
At first glance, the status of the people sent by Sun Luen Shing and Hung Hing seemed a bit low. But in reality, it was perfectly in line with the rules.
Li Fu was Lin Feng's Big Boss, holding the position of Straw Sandal, and was responsible for external communication.
He was also the Chairman of Thunder Security, which was equivalent to Hung Hing's main action team. At least, that was the configuration after Liang Kun became Hung Hing's Dragon Head.
Li Fu was already sufficient to represent Hung Hing in dealings with other Triads, and was even more qualified than the other Hall Masters, with the exception of Lin Feng.
Among the Twelve Hall Masters, only Chan Yiu and Hon Ban outranked him.
Furthermore, such matters naturally required sufficient privacy.
This way, even if negotiations failed, it would not affect either Triad.
Liang Kun and Lin Feng were one, and Li Fu was Lin Feng's confidant, which also made him Liang Kun's confidant.
Sending him was already enough.
As for Ho Ka-Kui, although his reputation in the jianghu was not prominent, being the head horse for two consecutive Dragon Heads was enough to explain everything.
Therefore, these two going was entirely in line with the rules.
They just never expected that what was supposed to be a visit to Uncle Deng would turn into such an incident.
Lok Chi-ming still sighed:
"Master Jin, you're right. Brother Feng truly possesses something miraculous."
Master Jin was too lazy to respond to Lok Chi-ming's words.
Lin Feng was the reincarnation of Ziwei Emperor. He had almost worn out his voice saying it, yet hardly anyone listened to him.
This made Master Jin feel truly powerless.
This wasn't something he made up; it was something he calculated!
Why wouldn't others believe him?!
Lok Chi-ming kicked Lam Wai Lok and sneered:
"Get this guy in there!"
Naturally, some people carried Lam Wai Lok, who was like a dead pig, and brought him to the ancestral temple... nearby.
Two corpses were temporarily laid there.
According to jianghu rules, bodies needed to be kept for three days before the funeral.
Lok Chi-ming knelt with a thud and said to the two corpses:
"Chuen Bo, Fai Wong, I know you died unjustly."
"We burned incense together back then and became sworn brothers."
"Now, I've brought your enemy to you!"
Lam Yiu-cheung kicked Lam Wai Lok, startling the latter awake in pain. He immediately blurted out:
"Who the hell kicked me!"
But his teeth had been kicked out by Li Fu, so his words were airy and lacked any power.
Lok Chi-ming stood up and looked at him, sneering continuously.
Lam Wai Lok was greatly shocked:
"Lok Chi-ming?!"
He thought, 'This is bad,' and turned his head to look, his heart sinking completely.
Almost everyone in this circle was familiar.
Master Jin, Lam Yiu-cheung, other famous uncles from Sun Luen Shing... Lok Chi-ming waved his hand and said:
"Help him up, let him see who's lying in the main hall!"
Lam Wai Lok shouted:
"Chuen Bo and Fai Wong weren't killed by me, they were killed by Gweilo Yan! You can't come after me!"
Lok Chi-ming frowned slightly.
"What kind of place is this for you to be so presumptuous?"
Ho Ka-Kui became alert at this moment and somehow pulled out a piece of tape, sealing Lam Wai Lok's mouth tightly.
Lok Chi-ming turned and said:
"Seniors, brothers."
"Sun Luen Shing is our Mainland. In Sun Luen Shing, everyone is like family."
"Whoever dares to harm my brother will surely be met with an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
"If anyone dares to kill my brother, even if I am pulverized, I will make him pay with his life."
Everyone shouted in unison:
"A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, a life for a life."
Lok Chi-ming let them cheer.
"Chuen Bo and Fai Wong were ambushed by Lam Wai Lok of Sun Luen Shing, and we will not tolerate him."
"Today it is Lam Wai Lok, another day it will be Foreigner."
"I, Lok Chi-ming, swear here that I will not let our two brothers, Chuen Bo and Fai Wong, die with regrets!"
The cheers of the crowd grew louder.
The faces of the Hall Masters, however, changed—killing Lam Wai Lok was enough, did they really want to provoke Foreigner?
Only Master Jin and Lam Yiu-cheung showed no change in expression.
Lok Chi-ming shouted:
"Ho Ka-Kui!"
Ho Ka-Kui quickly stepped forward:
"Brother Lok, I'm here!"
Lok Chi-ming wrapped an arm around Ho Ka-Kui's neck and said in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"I don't know why you're back, and I don't care what your purpose is."
"If you're back, you'll follow my rules."
"You're too clean; I can't trust playing with you."
Releasing Ho Ka-Kui,
Lok Chi-ming loudly declared:
"You were Chuen Bo's head horse in life, granted his favor. Now is the time to repay Chuen Bo."
"Bring the knife!"
Naturally, someone presented a boning knife.
Lok Chi-ming's face was full of a sinister smile:
"Whoever harms my incense master must not be easily spared."
"Three cuts, six holes, but don't take his life. Drag him to the back and slowly torture him."
"I will skin him and tear out his tendons, pull out his bones, disembowel him, and slice him into a thousand pieces!"
Ho Ka-Kui's heart trembled as he listened. He dared not say more and quickly stabbed Lam Wai Lok three times, each stab piercing through.
Lam Wai Lok's pupils dilated, he lost control of his bladder and bowels, and was instantly on the verge of death.
Lok Chi-ming waved his hand:
"Drag him to the back and torture him well!"
Ho Ka-Kui dared not look into Lok Chi-ming's bloodshot eyes and quickly dragged Lam Wai Lok away by his legs.
Lok Chi-ming's eyes were bloodshot, and tears streamed down his face:
"Chuen Bo, Fai Wong, I have avenged you. Rest in peace."
For a moment, faint sobs echoed in the main hall.
After Li Fu left Sun Luen Shing, he did not return to Victoria Peak; instead, he turned and went to Tsuen Wan.
When he handed the photo to Uncle Chuan Bao, Uncle Chuan Bao was still in disbelief:
"Ah Le really killed Uncle Deng?"
Li Fu shrugged,
"I arrived late. By the time I got there, I only managed to snap this photo."
"But I have a theory, do you want to hear it?"
Uncle Chuan Bao nodded repeatedly:
"Let's hear it."
Li Fu pointed at the photo and said:
"It was dark then. Normally, an elder like Uncle Deng wouldn't be out after dark. Especially since he was a jianghu boss, a famous uncle of Wo Luen Shing."
Uncle Chuan Bao corrected him:
"He was the most famous."
Li Fu agreed:
"Exactly, such a person would never be out."
"In the darkness, even with streetlights on both sides of the road, it's still the best place for an ambush."
"Just like Lam Wai Lok, he was kicked down by me while running and easily subdued."
"Uncle Deng is an old jianghu veteran; he wouldn't come out."
"And once he came out, it means something had happened to him."
"Unfortunately, as the photo shows, he had no breath left."
Uncle Chuan Bao smiled bitterly:
"After I received your notification, I informed Lung Gen, Gweilo Yan, and others, and also called Big D, Yu Tau Biu, and Tai Po Black."
"Indeed, Uncle Deng is dead."
Li Fu said softly:
"My condolences!"
Uncle Chuan Bao cursed angrily:
"Why should I mourn? That old guy trapped me for decades."
"I wished he'd die sooner!"
But as he cursed, Uncle Chuan Bao's eyes turned red.
Li Fu had to change the subject and continued:
"Uncle Deng fell accidentally, there's no doubt about that."
"It's just unclear what role Lam Wai Lok played in it."
Uncle Chuan Bao cursed wildly:
"It must have been Lam Wai Lok."
"That bastard even threatened me! If I hadn't been quick-witted and run to Big D for protection, I might have ended up like Uncle Deng, pushing up daisies!"
"Where is that bastard Lam Wai Lok?"
Li Fu sighed:
"We agreed before, didn't we? I've already handed Lam Wai Lok over to Ah Lok of Sun Luen Shing."
"I estimate he's probably already joined Uncle Deng by now."
Uncle Chuan Bao stamped his foot:
"No way! I'm going to skin that kid Lam Wai Lok alive, I'm going to light him up like a sky lantern, I'm going to pour cement on his head!"
Uncle Chuan Bao reeled off a string of terrifying punishments, some of which Li Fu had never even heard of.
"Uncle Chuan Bao, we agreed on this before..."
Uncle Chuan Bao was stunned for a long time, then said with a mournful face:
"Who would have thought old Deng would be gone!"
Li Fu sighed, then said again:
"My condolences."
He quickly left the door.
He couldn't stay here. Wo Luen Shing was about to discuss Uncle Deng's death, and as an outsider, it was really inappropriate for him to interfere.
But as he stepped out, he saw Big D squatting ungracefully, his face dark.
Li Fu politely greeted him:
"Brother D, I'm going back."
Big D waved his hand melancholically, motioning him over, and offered him a cigarette.
"Uncle Deng died at the worst possible time."
Li Fu was dumbfounded:
"Brother D, Uncle Deng didn't want to die, did he?"
Big D thought about it and realized he was right, then complained wildly:
"I'm transferring to Hung Hing the day after tomorrow. Ah Kun is going to hold a grand ceremony for me at Sam Shing Temple."
"And then this kind of thing happens."
"What am I going to do?"
Li Fu listened and thought, 'This really is a problem!'

Chapter 270: A Triad Spectacle: Three Triads Hold Funerals Simultaneously
"My date was already set, and I'd already announced it to the Triad world."
"I was supposed to leave Wo Luen Shing, this den of foxes, the day after tomorrow, but I never expected something like this to happen!"
"What do you think I should do?"
Li Fu asked cautiously:
"Can't the date be postponed?"
Big D gave a bitter smile:
"This is an auspicious date chosen from the almanac; how can it be changed just like that?"
"Besides, Ah Kun has already paid enough incense money to Sam Shing Temple, and everything has been arranged."
"To cancel now would be bad luck."
Li Fu scratched his head:
"Brother D, I don't know what to do."
Big D was very annoyed.
"Ah Fu, go back and ask Brother Kun and Ah Feng what they want to do."
"Anyway, I have one thing to say: as long as he doesn't change the date, I'm definitely transferring."
Big D glanced at the room with disdain.
"I've had enough of Wo Luen Shing!"
Li Fu quickly got up:
"Then I'll go back and report to Brother Feng."
Big D waved his hand:
"Cheung Fat, see Ah Fu out."
Li Fu quickly said:
"I'm driving!"
Cheung Fat led Li Fu out, and when Li Fu got into his car, he said:
"Brother Fu, please put in a good word for the situation here with the Dragon Head and Brother Kun."
Li Fu's heart stirred:
"You mean?"
Cheung Fat said in a low voice:
"Uncle Deng is gone. The uncles of Wo Luen Shing, knowing that Uncle Deng's body is with the boss, have already rushed over together."
"Those old fogeys have ill intentions."
Li Fu asked in surprise:
"Ill intentions? Like what?"
Cheung Fat explained:
"Foreigner Yan, Lung Gen, and others all want to depose Chui Gei and elevate the boss."
"If Uncle Chuan Bao hadn't stopped them, they probably would have announced it already!"
Li Fu was slightly stunned and couldn't help but look at the Ritual Hall, thinking that Uncle Deng had died such an unjust death!
Coming back to his senses, he solemnly said to Cheung Fat:
"I will report to the two bosses immediately."
Cheung Fat bowed:
"Thank you, Brother Fu."
Li Fu waved his hand and hurried back.
At the Lin residence, Liang Kun and Shui Ling had not yet returned.
Lin Feng said to the two:
"Don't go back to Repulse Bay tonight. Stay here and sit for a while longer. If it gets late, you can stay at the house I gave you."
"It's not far at all."
Shui Ling looked at Liang Kun, who shrugged.
"Ah Feng has already said so, so you stay here and have a good time with the sisters-in-law."
Ho Man smiled:
"Sister-in-law, let's not play with the men; let's sisters have some private talks."
Shui Ling readily agreed.
So, only three men were left in the living room.
After the women left, Lin Feng asked:
"How was the communication with Uncle Deng?"
Li Fu's expression was quite subtle:
"Uncle Deng didn't speak."
Liang Kun said disdainfully:
"Uncle Deng probably had no face to speak. Wo Luen Shing raised such a thing; it's a shame he's a Triad elder!"
Li Fu quickly said:
"That's not what I meant..."
"Uncle Deng can't speak anymore; he's dead!"
What?
Liang Kun and Lin Feng looked at each other, both speechless.
Li Fu quickly recounted the events.
The two brothers looked at each other, their expressions unreadable.
Liang Kun said with a strange expression:
"What kind of evil wind has been blowing in the Triad world recently?"
"How many Dragon Heads and Chairmen are gone?"
Lin Feng shrugged.
"If Chung Yee Shun's Crab doesn't count, Tung Sing lost two: Camel and Ah Bun; Sun Luen Shing lost one, Chuen Bo; and Wo Luen Shing's Uncle Deng is far more important than a Dragon Head Chairman!"
"Looking at it this way, a strange spectacle will appear in the Triad world: at the same time, three of the Top Ten Gangs will be holding funerals."
"The Police Station is going to be busy."
Liang Kun frowned:
"Normally, there are occasional conflicts between Triads, but they don't involve the upper echelons of the Triad; the losses are only among the lower-level members, at most a Hall Master."
"What's wrong this year?"
Lin Feng counted on his fingers:
"Tung Sing was purely an internal struggle."
"Camel's high-pressure tactics led to the backlash from Crow and others; he can't blame anyone else."
"Ah Bun was too clever for his own good, giving Crow and the other two a chance to explode."
"Sun Luen Shing's Chuen Bo was an unexpected disaster; George had been eyeing Sun Luen Shing for a long time."
"As for Uncle Deng... he was old and lived in a two-story Western-style house, which was enough to lay the hidden danger for this fall."
Liang Kun's eyes widened:
"So there's nothing abnormal?"
Lin Feng said, puzzled:
"Each family has its own misfortunes; isn't that all very normal?"
Liang Kun thought about it and agreed.
Li Fu quickly said:
"When I came back, I went to give Chuen Bo the photos I took. Big D is worried about the transfer."
Liang Kun said, puzzled:
"We haven't changed the transfer arrangements here."
"The date has already been set; we're just waiting for Big D to transfer."
Li Fu reminded him:
"Uncle Deng is dead now, and Lam Wai Lok was also sent to Sun Luen Shing by me, so he probably won't live either."
Liang Kun was stunned, then suddenly realized:
"Wo Luen Shing is going to hold a funeral for Uncle Deng?"
"Big D is worried about this?"
Li Fu thought for a moment and shook his head:
"No, Big D isn't worried about that. He's worried that Boss Ding will cancel the ceremony in front of Sam Shing Temple."
Liang Kun said disdainfully:
"Hmph, Uncle Deng isn't an uncle of my Hung Hing. If he's dead, he's dead."
"Besides, we didn't kill him."
Lin Feng pondered for a while, then suddenly asked:
"When you were at Big D's place, besides Chuen Bo, did you see any other Wo Luen Shing uncles?"
Li Fu replied:
"No, I didn't go inside."
"However, Cheung Fat told me that uncles like Lung Gen and Foreigner Yan all went!"
Lin Feng said to Liang Kun:
"Big D is good in every way, except that he's not very sharp."
"I'm afraid someone has been whispering in his ear!"
Liang Kun asked, puzzled:
"Whispering what?"
Lin Feng analyzed:
"Why does Big D want to transfer to my Hung Hing?"
Liang Kun said bluntly:
"He has no future in Wo Luen Shing."
Lin Feng clapped his hands:
"Exactly!"
"Uncle Deng was suppressing him, not allowing him to be elected Chairman."
"Plus, with Lam Wai Lok around, Big D had even less chance to rise."
"Now it's different; both of them are dead!"
"I guess some old guys have started to have ideas."
Liang Kun immediately sat up straight:
"You mean, they want to persuade Big D to stay and take over Sun Luen Shing in two years?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Boss, seriously, with Uncle Deng gone and Lam Wai Lok dead, isn't Wo Luen Shing severely weakened?"
Liang Kun said solemnly:
"Lam Wai Lok is nothing; Uncle Deng is the most critical. He is the backbone of Wo Luen Shing. If he's gone, and there isn't a strong person to support it, Wo Luen Shing might end up even worse than Tung Sing."
He slapped his forehead.
Liang Kun suddenly realized:
"I understand."
"Although Uncle Deng is the backbone, he is, after all, an uncle of Wo Luen Shing. His passing has a big impact on Wo Luen Shing, but it won't show immediately."
"At this moment, if Big D leaves, that would be the biggest blow to Wo Luen Shing."
"To compare the Triad to a person, Uncle Deng is the brain. If he's missing, there are other reserve brains that can take over. Even if the reaction is a bit slower than when Uncle Deng was there, as long as the body is strong enough, there's no fear."
"Coincidentally, the strongest person in Wo Luen Shing right now is Big D."
"Previously, Big D's departure didn't face opposition because Lam Wai Lok was still there as a supplement."
"But now that Uncle Deng and Lam Wai Lok are both gone, Big D's importance has become extraordinarily great."
"No wonder these old fogeys are having such ideas."
Lin Feng nodded:
"That should be it."
"Xiao Fu, what did Chuen Bo say?"
Li Fu immediately replied:
"He didn't say anything, but Cheung Fat said that the uncles of Wo Luen Shing are advocating for Chui Gei to be deposed so that Big D can take his place."
"Cheung Fat said that if Chuen Bo hadn't stopped them, who knows what trouble might have erupted."
"Big D is worried that Boss Ding won't be able to hold the transfer ceremony the day after tomorrow."
Liang Kun and Lin Feng both sneered.
"Wo Luen Shing always plays the tortoise. After Uncle Deng and Lam Wai Lok are gone, Chuen Bo runs off to Big D's place, and the remaining old guys really become tortoises."
"They wouldn't dare let Big D transfer either."
"Ha!"
Lin Feng waved his hand:
"Xiao Fu, go get two bottles of wine. Let's drink slowly."
Li Fu agreed and quickly went to the bar to get the wine.
Liang Kun asked:
"What are you going to do?"
Lin Feng said, amused:
"Haven't you already made a decision?"
"I fully support your decision."
Liang Kun said happily:
"Brothers for life,"
"Sure enough, you're the one who supports me."
Lin Feng pouted.
"If I don't support you, who will?"
Liang Kun clapped his hands:
"Then to hell with it!"
"Uncle Deng and Lam Wai Lok are none of our business. We'll just proceed according to our own plan."
"I'm going to hold this transfer ceremony!"
Lin Feng decanted the wine while instructing Li Fu:
"Xiao Fu, did you hear that?"
Li Fu immediately said,
"I'll call Uncle Chuan Bao right away."
Liang Kun thought for a moment and said,
"I'll also call Big D. That guy is good in every way, except he has no brains."
"Ah B was brainless enough back then, but compared to Big D, Ah B was practically a smart person."
Lin Feng laughed heartily.
However, neither of the brothers cared whether Big D had brains or not; they certainly didn't expect him to be the one doing the thinking.
When it came to strategy, if either of the two brothers stepped forward, Big D wouldn't be able to contend with them.
Liang Kun really did call Big D:
"Big D, I heard from Xiao Fu that you're worried about transferring the day after tomorrow?"
Big D smiled wryly and said,
"Yes, I am."
"Ah Kun, are you definitely transferring the day after tomorrow?"
Liang Kun cursed,
"Whether Fat Deng lives or dies, what does it have to do with us?"
"Whether Lam Wai Lok lives or dies, it's also none of our business."
"The Triad is so big; getting your own life in order is the most important thing. We have no obligation to bear other people's responsibilities."
Big D immediately felt relieved:
"Brother Kun, don't worry, I've been waiting for this day for too long."
"So it's settled then."
Liang Kun smiled and said,
"You can absolutely trust my reputation!"
Big D let out a long sigh of relief:
"You have no idea how agitated I am here. Some people are constantly trying to convince me to take the Chairman position… They treat me like a three-year-old. Where were they before?"
Liang Kun smiled and said,
"You are their only hope now."
Big D was disgusted:
"To hell with them!"
"Why didn't these old farts choose me back then?"
"If they had let me run then, would I have thought about transferring to Hung Hing?"
"Now that they see you value me and take me seriously, they suddenly realize my worth?"
"If it weren't for the fact that I'm still with Wo Luen Shing, I would have chased them away long ago."
"How unlucky!"
"Ah Kun, you don't know how annoying these people are, their expressions… Ugh, just thinking about it makes me sick."
Liang Kun asked,
"What did Chuen Bo say?"
Big D said indifferently,
"Chuen Bo said that Wo Luen Shing is a sinking ship, and these uncles are panicking, afraid of sinking with Wo Luen Shing."
"They plan to use me as a scapegoat."
"I won't do such a stupid thing."
"I wanted to chase them away, but Chuen Bo wouldn't let me."
Liang Kun nodded in agreement:
"At least there's some past connection; don't completely break ties."
Big D was displeased:
"But that doesn't mean they can disgust me."
"Anyway, I have to make them leave; no one can stop me."
"The Chairman of Wo Luen Shing is Chui Gei, not me."
Liang Kun said helplessly,
"Alright, alright, whatever you want."
Big D suddenly said proudly,
"Ah Kun, you don't need to worry."
"These useless people are asking for my help now, so even if I'm irritable and scowl, they won't dare to say anything."
Liang Kun praised,
"Big D, you've made progress!"
Big D became even more pleased:
"Uncle Chuan Bao and my wife taught me well."
Liang Kun thought to himself, you didn't really need to say that last part.
But that was Big D.
Lin Feng smiled and said,
"Big D's side is settled?"
Liang Kun nodded slightly:
"Big D's mindset is very firm."
"We just have to wait for him to transfer to Hung Hing the day after tomorrow."
Lin Feng smiled and nodded.
"Then I need to tell Chief Wong Bing-Yiu this news."
Liang Kun asked curiously,
"No need to tell the other Triads?"
Lin Feng shook his head slightly:
"We don't need to say anything about that; Wo Luen Shing and Sun Luen Shing will naturally have a Ritual Hall to convey it."
Liang Kun thought about it and agreed. He hesitated a little,
"Ah Feng, don't rush to inform Chief Huang. Let me ask you…"
"There aren't any problems with George, are there?"
Lin Feng was surprised and said,
"Brother Kun is worried about the Foreigner?"
Liang Kun spoke frankly:
"These guys were sent by the Anglo-Saxon Military Intelligence Agency; how can I not be worried?"
"Look at their style of work; Chuen Bo was at least the Dragon Head Chairman of Sun Luen Shing, and they killed him just like that."
"In the Foreigner's eyes, people like us probably aren't much different."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Everyone else can worry, but Brother Kun and Sister-in-law don't need to worry."
"My Thunder Security is not to be trifled with."
Liang Kun was stunned.
Li Fu said calmly,
"With equal military strength, let alone the Foreign Superintendent from the Police Station, even if their Garrison came, what could they do?"
Liang Kun's spirits lifted, and he gave a thumbs-up, praising,
"Xiao Fu, you're something else!"
Lin Feng sighed:
"Boss, at least have some faith in me."
"What do you think I established Thunder Security for?"
"It wasn't just for show!"
"The establishment of Thunder Security was for a day like this."
Lin Feng secretly added in his heart, "This kind of situation today is one of the scenarios I anticipated."
Liang Kun relaxed:
"Now that you say that, I'm relieved."
"However, we cut off George's claws so quickly. Do you think he'll be furious?"
Lin Feng, however, smiled and asked in return,
"Boss, what do you think?"
Liang Kun was startled; how did the ball get kicked back to him?
However, upon careful consideration of the question, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Lin Feng gently reminded him,
"Brother Kun, you have access to information because of me, so you are well-informed."
"But from George's perspective, some of the intelligence is actually very vague."
Liang Kun suddenly woke up with a start:
"What do you mean?"
Lin Feng explained,
"George wanting Lam Wai Lok to be his front man was very secret."
"Lam Wai Lok wanting George to kill Chuen Bo to prove his ability was equally secret."
Liang Kun's eyes immediately widened:
"I understand!"
"There's something you mentioned… about information…"
Lin Feng smiled and said,
"Information asymmetry!"
Slap!
Liang Kun slapped his thigh:
"Exactly, it's information asymmetry."
"From George's perspective, this was originally a top-secret matter, known only to their two parties, with no third party aware."
"But now…"
"The one who killed Lam Wai Lok was from Sun Luen Shing."
"They went directly to the main culprit."
"If I were George, I'd go crazy!"
"How did such a top-secret matter leak out?"
"If he doesn't figure out the reason, he won't dare to act."
"George is a Foreigner, and he's a powerful Foreigner in the Police Station, but he's also afraid of the Triads!"
Lin Feng smiled and said,
"There are many people in the Triads; finding a few who aren't afraid of death, what's so difficult about that?"
"Even if it's a life for a life, can't the Triads afford it?"
"If a Triad hitman dies, the Triad can support his family for life."
"What about George? Who will support his family?"
"If it really comes down to a fight to the death, he wouldn't dare!"
Liang Kun laughed heartily, completely relaxed.
Lin Feng took out his phone and called Wong Bing-Yiu, who was startled:
"Mr. Lin, I beg you, don't call me at this time. I'm old, and I can't handle scares!"
Lin Feng immediately said upon hearing this,
"I had some good news to tell you, but it seems it's not necessary now."
Wong Bing-Yiu immediately changed his tone:
"Oh, is there good news? Mr. Lin, please tell me quickly. You don't want me to not sleep tonight, do you?"
Lin Feng laughed and scolded,
"You're one of the big bosses at the Police Station, yet you're so lazy."
"Never mind, I'll tell you a few pieces of good news."
"The first is that Uncle Deng of Wo Luen Shing is dead!"
Wong Bing-Yiu jumped out of bed in fright:
"I just spoke to him on the phone tonight. You're saying he's dead?"
"How is that good news?"
Lin Feng was surprised:
"Oh, you also called to warn Uncle Deng?"
Wong Bing-Yiu nodded:
"Yes, I called him."
"Lam Wai Lok went too far."
"How did Uncle Deng die?"
"The underworld won't fall into chaos, will it?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"I don't know how Uncle Deng died, but it's likely related to Lam Wai Lok."
Wong Bing-Yiu said speechlessly,
"Is Lam Wai Lok imitating Crow?"
"This guy can't be indulged; he needs a good warning."
Lin Feng said with great regret,
"You can't warn him."
Wong Bing-Yiu said angrily,
"I know he's attached himself to George, but if I want to deal with him, George can't protect him either!"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"You really can't deal with him; he's under the jurisdiction of the King of Hell!"
Wong Bing-Yiu cried out,
"Mr. Lin, what does that mean?"
Lin Feng smiled and said,
"That's the second piece of good news I wanted to tell you: Lam Wai Lok is dead, killed by someone from Sun Luen Shing."
