Chapter 289: Donald, I've Got a Good Business Deal for You
"Chiang Tin-Yeung left?"
"He left. He didn't even see Chiang Tin-Sung."
Liang Kun was truly surprised:
"Aren't these two brothers on very good terms?"
"Why didn't they say goodbye?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"I guess it's probably still the master's prophecy."
"Two tigers shouldn't meet, otherwise one will surely die and one will be injured."
"Chiang Tin-Sung is still recovering in bed, and Chiang Tin-Yeung already saw him the first moment he returned."
Liang Kun nodded slightly.
A small gathering of Hung Hing's core members, besides the two of them, plus Da D and Chan Yiu, Liang Kun had really drunk a lot of alcohol.
Shuiling brought over hangover soup,
"Ah Feng, our Hung Hing is short on people. Are we really not going to draw from Tung Sing?"
Lin Feng's attitude was very clear:
"Sister-in-law, Tung Sing must be preserved. This sends a clear signal to the Triad world."
"Tung Sing is protected by Brother Kun."
"Anyone who tries to mess with Tung Sing at this time is disrespecting Brother Kun."
Liang Kun said to Shuiling:
"Ah Feng always has good ideas; just listen to him."
Shuiling asked, puzzled:
"Ah Feng, aren't we going to reorganize?"
"From now on, we'll be running a legitimate company, not a Triad."
"From what you're saying, it doesn't sound like that?"
Lin Feng explained with a smile:
"Sister-in-law, you might have misunderstood me."
"The foundation of our rise is the Triad; this can't be washed away."
"When we promote ourselves externally, we must not think about completely disassociating from the Triad; that would be wrong."
Shuiling was even more confused.
"What legitimate company would want to be associated with a Triad?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"The methods by which those big companies got their start weren't exactly glorious either."
"Smuggling, tax evasion, or directly seeking refuge with the Anglo-Saxon... they are even worse than us."
"Now, those so-called untouchable companies have all endured that embarrassing phase and slowly whitewashed themselves."
"It has always been about getting rich first, then establishing reputation; I've never heard of establishing reputation first, then getting rich."
"Our company is newly established. If we truly sever ties with the Triad, that would be self-defeating."
"We won't do such a foolish thing."
Liang Kun sighed:
"If one could do legitimate business, who would want to be in a Triad?"
"When I was selling fish balls back then, I was bullied, and I had no choice but to join a Triad."
"Later, I understood."
"To avoid being bullied, you have to be strong."
"No matter how strong you are, there will always be people who don't want to see you do well."
"When Ah Feng came up with the arcade machine back then, wow, how many people were eyeing it?"
"Mong Kok was fighting people every day back then."
"If Ah Feng hadn't been decisive and shared the profits with the Triad, it would have been swallowed up without a trace long ago."
Lin Feng added:
"There's another reason: our Hung Hing Group's businesses are almost all service industries."
"They require a large workforce."
"And the service industry is most afraid of troublemakers."
"Like when I confronted Fatty Lai, I prepared a big meal for him, originally intending to have a good showdown with him, but unfortunately, he chickened out at the first wave."
"My trick wasn't unusual."
"It was just to send the Mong Kok action team to Fatty Lai's shop, one person, one glass of coke, one table, sitting there all day."
"Just three days, and Fatty Lai would surrender."
Shuiling suddenly understood and laughed:
"That really is a traditional dirty trick."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"We're in this business, after all."
"It's getting late, I won't disturb you two anymore. I'm heading back!"
Liang Kun was startled:
"What time is it?"
Lin Feng said with a grin:
"A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold."
Liang Kun was about to try and keep him, but Shuiling had already subtly twisted Liang Kun's waist, and the latter's face immediately flushed crimson.
Lin Feng stifled a laugh, stood up and said:
"Boss, Sister-in-law, I still have guests at home, so I won't stay here."
Liang Kun quickly got up:
"Do you really have guests?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Yes, a foreign Jin Mao."
Liang Kun's eyes widened:
"You left a Foreigner at home all day?"
"Since when have you treated guests so poorly?"
Lin Feng was unconcerned:
"Just a Foreigner. Besides, he has a favor to ask of me, not the other way around."
Liang Kun gave a thumbs up and proudly said to Shuiling:
"Look, this is my younger brother."
Shuiling nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, yes, I know he was raised by you."
Lin Feng couldn't stand it anymore and quickly left.
Liang Kun glared fiercely at Shuiling:
"You dare to disrespect me in front of my younger brother?"
"You have a lot of guts."
"I'll have to show you the Li family's rules."
Shuiling said charmingly:
"I'm so scared!"
Liang Kun pounced on her like a hungry tiger.
Lin Feng had just reached the middle of the courtyard and couldn't help but spit fiercely.
"These two old rascals, they couldn't even wait for such a short time?"
Lin Feng was a Grandmaster of Chinese martial arts, with very keen senses. Even though he was outside the courtyard, Liang Kun and Shuiling's actions were almost as clear to him as if they were doing them right in front of him.
Lin Feng quickly sped up.
Li Jie and Mo Chiu-Nam, who had come to see him off, were bewildered.
As Lin Feng stepped out the door, he suddenly said to the two of them:
"Brother Kun and Sister-in-law are busy, don't disturb them."
Li Jie and Mo Chiu-Nam's expressions were strange.
The latter couldn't help but ask,
"Brother Feng, how do you know?"
Lin Feng glared at him expressionlessly:
"Their voices drilled into my ears!"
Mo Chiu-Nam's mouth dropped open.
After Lin Feng left, Ah Wu asked Li Jie:
"Ah Jie, do you think this is true or false?"
Li Jie thought for a moment and replied:
"Brother Fu said Mr. Li is a Grandmaster of Chinese martial arts."
Mo Chiu-Nam's eyes nearly popped out:
"Such a young Grandmaster of Chinese martial arts?"
Li Jie asked, puzzled:
"Is there any necessary connection between a Grandmaster of Chinese martial arts and age?"
"To become a Grandmaster of Chinese martial arts, of course, the younger the better."
"Otherwise, how can one strive for the legendary realm?"
"Wait until old age and declining vitality?"
Mo Chiu-Nam looked at Lin Feng's retreating figure with even greater awe.
Coming back to his senses, he asked:
"Are we still going in?"
Li Jie said speechlessly:
"If you want to go in, you go in. I don't want to lose this job yet."
Mo Chiu-Nam shrunk his neck:
"Then I won't go in either."
Suddenly, he remembered something,
"Wang Jianjun has become the Yuen Long branch master, don't you have any thoughts?"
Li Jie looked at him in surprise:
"You still want to be in the Triad world?"
Mo Chiu-Nam said as a matter of course:
"We are Triad people, aren't we?"
Li Jie shook his head:
"You're wrong. From now on, we are people of the Hung Hing Group, not Triad people."
Mo Chiu-Nam didn't understand.
Li Jie felt quite a headache:
"Ah Wu, listen to the boss, read more books."
"Fighting and killing has no future."
"When our company grows bigger in the future, if there are still fights and killings, we won't have to do it ourselves; our subordinates will naturally handle it."
Mo Chiu-Nam laughed:
"Jian Jun is even the Yuen Long branch master, haven't you thought about becoming a branch master too?"
Li Jie was very calm:
"I am not like you."
"I was originally a special police officer; being in the Triad world is not my wish."
"Brother Feng helped me get revenge, and I promised him that I would dedicate my life to him."
"I'm doing pretty well in my current job."
Mo Chiu-Nam stopped talking.
Lin Feng returned to the villa, and Jin Mao suddenly darted out, giving him a bear hug:
"No one understands people better than I do. I decided early on that you are a trustworthy friend."
"Lin, you really didn't disappoint me."
Lin Feng asked with a smile:
"The agreement has been signed?"
Jin Mao gave a thumbs up:
"Of course, Jiang's law firm is quite professional."
"I've sent a fax, and my lawyer believes it's a good contract."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"If that's the case, then you can leave."
Jin Mao paused slightly:
"Leave?"
Lin Feng asked in surprise:
"The money can be transferred to your account tomorrow. Aren't you eager for capital injection to proceed with your next expansion?"
Jin Mao was greatly astonished:
"Four hundred million US dollars can be transferred to my account tomorrow?"
"From Hong Kong to America, it would take at least three days, wouldn't it?"
Lin Feng was even more surprised:
"Who told you it's from Hong Kong to America?"
"Can't the transfer be done through a bank in America?"
Jin Mao was so scared he almost jumped up:
"What?"
"You even have businesses in America?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Is that so strange?"
"You yourself said I'm an invisible Tycoon. Is it very surprising that I have business in America?"
Jin Mao was speechless.
Lin Feng clapped his hands and said:
"Donald, you are a wonderful person; I like you very much."
"Because you are not hypocritical."
Jin Mao immediately became happy,
"No one understands sincerity better than I do."
"I am the most sincere."
Lin Feng burst out laughing:
"Then let's be more sincere."
"I think highly of you, and I believe your business will become very big."
"But, as you know, there are ranks in America."
"Even among businessmen, there are different tiers."
"Although your ancestors were Germans, your actual origin was not noble."
"Even if you have achieved some success in America now, to be honest, you are still at the very bottom of America."
"If you want to become a world-renowned Tycoon, you still need to go further."
Jin Mao sighed, looking at Lin Feng with a strange gaze,
"Lin, have you really never been to America?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"America isn't that great, why would I go there?"
"America appears to be very free on the surface, but you and I know how strict the hierarchy is within it."
"Even the Rockefellers and Morgans aren't the highest-ranking individuals."
"There are still those above them."
"And dear Donald, you still have a long way to go!"
Jin Mao felt a chill down his spine.
Lin Feng was right; although Jin Mao had achieved some success in real estate, to be honest, he was not a top-tier Tycoon.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have traveled all the way to Hong Kong, seeking help from the four Tycoons.
If he were truly at the top tier of America and needed capital, many people would naturally come to fund him, and Jin Mao wouldn't have to rack his brains for financing.
Jin Mao was a typical Redneck, always looking down on other races.
Lin Feng's words hit the nail on the head.
Suddenly, Jin Mao had an epiphany and said:
"Lin, I want to cooperate with you and do business together."
"I hope that one day I can disregard this damned hierarchy."
Lin Feng looked at him with a smile,
"Donald, you are a pure businessman."
"Let's talk business. What's in it for me if I do business with you?"
He took out cigars and passed them around.
Lin Feng said leisurely:
"The two of us can be very good personal friends. Friends are pure, with no binding interests."
"Of course, when you need it, I don't mind helping out."
"Business partners are completely different."
"You should know, partners have a very important attribute—altruism!"
"Only when we both can gain sufficiently satisfactory benefits from each other can this cooperation go further."
"Otherwise, this cooperation won't last."
"Donald, what do you say?"
Jin Mao said without hesitation:
"Lin, don't worry, no one understands cooperation better than I do."
"I will be a trustworthy partner for you."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Then tell me, where is my benefit?"
Jin Mao was not flustered at all:
"Lin, I must admit, my current strength is not as good as yours."
"In the early stages, I need you to lead me to make money."
"But I also have an unparalleled advantage, an advantage you absolutely cannot deny."
"I am an American."
"My identity is very useful all over the world!"
Lin Feng chuckled:
"Your shamelessness has a very American style."
Jin Mao accepted it straight-faced:
"How can this be called shameless? An American identity is simply useful."
"Even in the Northern Bear, my identity is useful."
Lin Feng admitted:
"That's true, your identity is quite intimidating around the world."
"Unfortunately, in the face of capital, no identity is useful."
Jin Mao gave a dry laugh:
"Lin, trust me, you will definitely reap enough rewards."
Lin Feng suddenly said:
"Donald, do you have any dreams?"
Jin Mao's expression brightened:
"No one understands dreams better than I do."
"I want to build the tallest building in Gotham City, I want to build my skyscraper in the Northern Bear."
"I want to build astonishing architecture all over the world."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"What grand aspirations!"
"Well, now there's an opportunity. Let's see if you dare to seize it."
Jin Mao's eyes widened:
"There's really an opportunity?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Yes, there is!"
"The Northern Bear has been fooled by your country recently and is now crippled. They actually dared to joke with the national economy, implementing that bullshit shock therapy."
"The Northern Bear is visibly going to collapse."
"Interested in taking a bite?"
Jin Mao's eyes were as wide as brass bells:
"Of course!"
"I can almost see my skyscraper standing on the land of the Red Bear. I must build the tallest and largest skyscraper."
Lin Feng laughed loudly:
"That's very easy."
"However…"
Jin Mao's heart tightened:
"However, what?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"However, we'll take a small piece; the big piece isn't for us to touch."
"The big capital of the two Anglo-Saxon countries finally succeeded in their calculations against the Red Bear; they will definitely take the lion's share."
"Simply put, they eat the meat, and we drink the soup."
Jin Mao gritted his teeth:
"I will take the lion's share sooner or later."
Lin Feng laughed loudly:
"I believe you will have that day sooner or later."
Jin Mao then said:
"Dear Lin, please be sure to introduce this business to me."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Whatever you like."
"Oh, by the way, the Northern Bear is not peaceful right now, so you need to be mentally prepared."
Jin Mao showed no fear:
"What's a little danger for making money?"
"Besides, I can hire bodyguards, can't I?"
Lin Feng nodded with a smile:
"Exactly!"
Jin Mao was satisfied:
"Lin, I'm relieved!"
"Please allow me to take my leave. I need a good night's sleep tonight."
Lin Feng smiled and said:
"Of course."
"Xiao Fu, see Donald back to rest."
Lin Feng saw Jin Mao out the door, and the building where Jin Mao was to rest was only a few steps away from Lin Feng's house. This action showed the importance he placed on Donald.
Leaving a guest to stay overnight in one's villa, whether in the East or the West, is an expression of extreme respect for the guest.
After Li Fu returned, Lin Feng instructed:
"Please bring Tin Hung, Jian Jun, Jianguo, and Ah Jun in."
Li Fu immediately went to do so.
Ten minutes later, Lin Feng started passing out cigars again.
Wang Jianjun had defeated others in the competition and got Lin Feng's cigar box. After passing them around, he neatly put the remaining cigars, box and all, into his pocket.
Lin Feng was speechless.
A few of his subordinates chuckled.
Lin Feng clapped his hands and said:
"Alright, everyone except Li Jie is here."
"Today, Jian Jun became the branch master of Yuen Long, and Ah Jun became the branch master of Sham Shui Po."
"Congratulations to them."
Li Fu, Lok Tin-hung, and Wang Jianguo clapped their hands vigorously.
Wang Jianjun was composed, but Axe Jun seemed a bit apprehensive.
If one were to say who Lin Feng trusted most, the first would certainly be Li Fu, and the second Lok Tin-hung. Yet, precisely these two were not sent out to become Triad branch masters.
Instead, Axe Jun, who had just joined, had surpassed them.
Axe Jun cautiously watched the three big brothers, fearing any abnormal reaction from them.
Lin Feng smiled and said:
"Jian Jun and Ah Jun becoming branch masters is a great joyous occasion."
"Some things, we need to speak openly about, lest we harm our harmony."
Everyone's hearts stirred.
Lin Feng asked Li Fu:
"Xiao Fu, you are the person I trust most. Do you have any objections to Jian Jun and Ah Jun becoming branch masters over you?"
Axe Jun was particularly nervous.
Li Fu shrugged:
"I have no objections."
"My current job is your all-around assistant,"
"I'd rather my work be even easier; being a branch master is not my ambition."
"I will support the work of Jian Jun and Ah Jun."
Lin Feng then asked Lok Tin-hung,
"And you?"
The Blue-haired Kid asked in surprise:
"Boss, am I not the branch master of Causeway Bay?"
"I've always been in charge of Causeway Bay."
Axe Jun was so scared he almost lost his voice.
Everyone in the underworld knew that the branch master of Hung Hing Causeway Bay was Lin Feng. Lok Tin-hung truly had guts.
Unexpectedly, Lin Feng said:
"If you grow up a bit faster, what's wrong with you taking on the role of Causeway Bay's branch master?"
Lok Tin-hung said sulkily:
"Boss, don't worry, I will definitely grow."
"Sooner or later, I will defeat Brother Jun and Brother Fu."
Lin Feng said earnestly:
"The underworld isn't about fighting and killing; it's about human relations and social etiquette."
"If you could truly subdue people by force, why would there be so many schemes in the underworld?"
Lok Tin-hung whispered:
"Boss, I've grown a lot."
Lin Feng smiled and said:
"Gathering you all here means one thing—brothers united, their strength is like cutting through metal."
"I don't care about other branches, but in our branch, I will not allow any trouble to arise."
Everyone chorused:
"We only follow Brother Feng / Boss / Boss's orders!"
+++
Chapter 290: Brothers United, Their Strength Can Cut Through Gold
Lin Feng calmly said to everyone, "You are my trusted aides."
"Honestly, I've been in the game for so long, but I haven't taken on many subordinates."
Everyone agreed wholeheartedly.
Lin Feng was famous for valuing quality over quantity when it came to taking on subordinates.
If he were to spread the word in the underworld that he was looking for subordinates, countless people would flock to him.
However, Lin Feng had never done so.
For a long time, Li Fu was his only subordinate.
Even so, no one dared to look down on Lin Feng.
It was only within this month that he successively took in Lok Tin-hung, Wang Jianjun and Wang Jianguo, Li Jie, and then Axe Jun.
Among them, Lok Tin-hung came to him voluntarily, the Wang Jianjun brothers were introduced by Li Fu, Li Jie was thought of by Lin Feng when he heard the name 'doctor,' and as for Axe Jun… Lin Feng had originally planned to take him in later.
In any case, these people were all brought under Lin Feng's wing due to a series of coincidences.
"Everyone in this game is out to make money."
"Of course, Tin Hung's goal is different; he wants to become the strongest in the world."
Axe Jun looked at Lok Tin-hung in surprise. He hadn't expected this person to have such grand ambitions.
No matter what you do, once it's associated with being the strongest in the world, it takes on a different meaning.
"I've gathered you all here because I want to tell you not to be dazzled by the current situation. From now on, our Hung Hing will be completely different."
"Chairman is just a nominal title; the company's board of directors is the key."
"Your goal should be to become a director of the company."
"That is the true way to elevate your status."
Everyone was puzzled.
Axe Jun couldn't help but ask, "Brother Feng, is there a difference?"
Lin Feng shrugged, "Of course there's a difference."
"Before, we were a Triad. When we were hostile to others, it was just about wielding weapons. As long as you were good at fighting and the Triad supported you, you could carve out a name for yourself."
"But now, it's completely different."
"From now on, we are a company—just like the big companies you see in the media."
"The relationship between the company and the subordinates has changed; it's become employment."
"Subordinates work for us, we pay them wages, contribute to their mandatory provident fund, and give them various subsidies. In return, they generate a continuous stream of money for us."
"From now on, we are capitalists, living by doing business."
"We'll wear suits and ties everywhere we go, and our glasses will be limited edition trendy brands."
"We will be the most popular figures in the media."
"Because we will become people above others."
The subordinates exchanged glances.
Lin Feng stated plainly, "Our group employs at least 30,000 people. If you don't understand what 30,000 job positions mean, that's alright."
"I'll tell you in a way you can understand."
Lin Feng said calmly, "When we were in the Triad, we were lowlifess, no matter if you were a Chairman or a hall master."
"Within the Triad, you might be impressive, but when you saw the police, didn't you unconsciously feel inferior?"
Axe Jun nodded involuntarily.
However, when he looked up, he saw everyone looking at him with surprised eyes.
Axe Jun's heart pounded. "Everyone, is something wrong?"
Li Fu and Wang Jianjun both shook their heads.
Lok Tin-hung wondered, "Why should we bow our heads when we see the police?"
"I always hold my head high."
Axe Jun was dumbfounded. "Tin Hung, aren't you afraid the police will arrest you?"
The Blue-haired Kid asked in surprise, "Why would he arrest me?"
"I haven't done anything wrong."
"If he dares to arrest me, I'll find a lawyer immediately!"
Axe Jun was speechless.
Li Fu chuckled, "Tin Hung, you're doing legitimate business."
"Real underworld figures wouldn't be so self-assured like you."
"Like Ah Jun…"
Lok Tin-hung still didn't understand.
Axe Jun took a deep breath. "Don't look at me having a bit of a reputation in the underworld, and I might act aloof with the police, but in reality, if the police really want to arrest you, you have no recourse."
"They are soldiers, we are thieves."
"Soldiers catching thieves is a matter of course."
Lok Tin-hung was furious. "That doesn't include me!"
"Under the boss's command, I won't live so miserably."
Wang Jianjun patted Lok Tin-hung's head. "That's because the dirty work in Causeway Bay is mostly done. The underworld generally acknowledges Causeway Bay as a no-go zone and won't cause trouble here, so you naturally don't see it."
"If there were fights every day, do you think the police would dare not arrest you?"
Lok Tin-hung was stunned. "Is that what it means?"
Wang Jianjun nodded. "Yes!"
"Causeway Bay's model is completely different from other Triads. All the businesses in Causeway Bay under our territory have signed security agreements."
"All we have left is to maintain order."
"Other Triads openly collect protection fees, which is naturally inferior."
Speaking of this, Wang Jianjun mused, "Boss, does this mean that when Hung Hing Group is established, we will also do such things?"
Lin Feng told him directly, "Before Hong Kong's return, security agreements could be signed."
"After Hong Kong's return, it cannot be done."
Wang Jianjun immediately understood.
He keenly sensed what Lin Feng hadn't said: if Triads still existed after the handover, this model would be the most covert. In the future, many people would undoubtedly adopt such a model.
Axe Jun was dumbfounded. "So you really don't have to pay attention to the police?"
Lin Feng shrugged, "Our records are very clean, so why should we be afraid of the police?"
"All that money spent on lawyer fees every year isn't just for the barristers to earn for nothing."
Axe Jun was even more astonished. "Boss, are you saying we have professional barristers, not Triad lawyers?"
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head. "How can Triad lawyers be as renowned as professional lawyers?"
"At least we are people of standing; how can we let the police order us around?"
Axe Jun sighed, "Boss, this is what you call living freely."
"What was I even doing before?"
Axe Jun thought of his past, and tears nearly fell from his eyes in distress.
It's not about not knowing the goods, but fearing comparison.
Compared to Causeway Bay, he was nothing.
Which time did he not quickly bow his head when he saw the police?
If he dared not to, he would be the one in trouble.
Even if Sun Yee On's Boss Xiang was a famous barrister in Hong Kong, it wouldn't matter.
Hung Hing was truly powerful.
Axe Jun secretly rejoiced, grateful that he had escaped. If he had stayed in Sun Yee On, wouldn't he have been depressed to death?
Lin Feng clapped his hands. "Alright, everyone, you must understand that we are about to become a company, and we will no longer be Young and Dangerous who are ordered around by others."
"Times… have changed!"
Everyone nodded in unison.
Lin Feng shrugged. He knew that none of these guys understood the meaning of his last sentence, but it didn't matter as long as they listened to him.
The rest was not important.
Lin Feng clapped his hands. "Jian Jun, stay. Everyone else, go do what you need to do."
Axe Jun quickly said, "Boss, I just arrived and haven't gotten to know the brothers well yet. How about I treat everyone to a meal?"
Lin Feng was speechless and offered him an idea, "We brothers don't have so many twists and turns. For example, Tin Hung, as long as you practice martial arts with him, he will be satisfied."
Lok Tin-hung indeed said, "Brother Jun just needs to fight with me."
"As for the other brothers, as long as you can do what the boss assigns, everyone will welcome you."
Axe Jun asked in surprise, "Is it that simple?"
Lok Tin-hung shrugged, "Otherwise?"
"The boss is the greatest, right? Isn't completing the tasks arranged by the boss enough?"
Axe Jun was speechless, the words he wanted to say stuck in his mouth.
Li Fu chuckled, "Ah Jun, all of us here are practical people; there's not so much intrigue."
"As long as you recognize the boss, you're a good brother."
Axe Jun patted his chest and said, "I naturally recognize the boss."
Li Fu chuckled, "Then that's it."
Wang Jianjun pulled out a cigar he had "robbed" from Lin Feng and offered him one. "I approve of you."
Axe Jun held the cigar, at a loss.
Wang Jianjun reminded him, "This is Cuban, a hundred US dollars a stick."
Axe Jun immediately carefully put it away. A hundred-dollar cigar, he had to savor it properly.
Lin Feng looked at everyone speechlessly. "Go, go, all of you."
Everyone dispersed, leaving only Li Fu and Wang Jianjun.
Wang Jianjun asked, "Boss, are you going to guide me on the development of the Yuen Long hall?"
Lin Feng was surprised. "Why would I guide you on that?"
Wang Jianjun was dumbfounded.
After a long while, he said, "I became the Yuen Long Chairman. Aren't you supposed to instruct me on this?"
Lin Feng shook his head.
"Yuen Long, you can do whatever you want with it."
"You are the General Manager of Thunder Security. Can't you handle a small Yuen Long?"
"Even if you really can't handle it, it doesn't matter."
"If Causeway Bay likes someone, just call them over. Or if Mong Kok likes someone, you can also call them over to sort it out."
"How big of a deal is that?"
Wang Jianjun immediately felt relieved and laughed, "Isn't it because I was afraid that Yuen Long wouldn't do well and would cause trouble for the boss?"
Lin Feng shrugged, "How big of a deal is that?"
Li Fu asked, puzzled, "Brother Feng, since that's the case, why keep Jian Jun?"
Lin Feng glared at him, "You two are really carefree. Didn't we just deal with an Old Japanese Devil yesterday?"
The two nodded in unison.
Lin Feng sneered, "The news of Tsukamoto Do's death should spread today. The Little Japanese Devils should arrive either today or tomorrow."
"You two know what to do, right?"
Li Fu asked, surprised, "Brother Feng, the three of us didn't leave any traces."
"The Little Japanese Devils won't find us."
Lin Feng warned, "I know you three are highly skilled and very confident in yourselves."
"But I want to tell you, there's no such thing as an airtight wall in this world."
"You absolutely cannot put your chances of winning on the enemy's stupidity."
"To be honest, with the way that bastard Tsukamoto Do died, it's easy to narrow down the suspects."
"Only a true master could kill that Old Japanese Devil."
Li Fu and Wang Jianjun exchanged glances, their hearts skipping a beat. At that moment, they both thought of the same name:
"Officer Chan?!"
Lin Feng nodded, "That's right, that guy is definitely exposed. Who told him to be Seraph, the number one assassin in the assassin world?"
"Since others know that Tsukamoto Do was killed by Seraph, by following the clues, do you think they'll never trace it back to you?"
Wang Jianjun said seriously, "Boss, I actually don't think we'll be exposed."
"However, Officer Chan being exposed is a big problem."
Li Fu suddenly said, "There's one more person who could be exposed."
Wang Jianjun was greatly alarmed, "Someone else?"
Li Fu said solemnly, "Don't forget, the one who placed the ad seeking an assassin was Uncle Liang, who doesn't have long to live."
"These Little Japanese Devils might not find Seraph right away, but they will definitely be able to find Uncle Liang."
Lin Feng said naturally, "You see, these are two big loopholes."
Li Fu thought for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, let's move Uncle Liang. Officer Chan shouldn't be exposed for a while."
"I'll go see him later and tell him to hide."
Lin Feng shook his head, "That's just treating the symptoms, not the root cause."
"Our style isn't to just constantly defend."
"Do you really want to compete against assassins from all over the world?"
The two quickly shook their heads.
Li Fu and Wang Jianjun were both great masters. They were confident that they were no less skilled than anyone except Lin Feng, but even so, neither of them wanted to clash head-on with so many assassins.
That would be purely out of boredom.
Lin Feng shrugged, "When killing Little Japanese Devils, you must not be merciful. You must find every way to eliminate them."
Li Fu and Wang Jianjun looked serious and nodded in agreement.
Lin Feng sneered, "Hong Kong is our Hong Kong, not the Foreigners' Hong Kong, nor the Little Japanese Devils' Hong Kong, and certainly not the assassins' Hong Kong."
"When you come to Hong Kong's territory, no matter who you are, you must abide by our rules."
"My rule is to kill them!"
"If you don't cut the grass by the roots, it will grow back with the spring breeze."
Li Fu and Wang Jianjun looked solemn.
"Brother Feng, we know what to do."
Lin Feng asked directly, "Since you know what to do, let me test you."
The two nodded in unison.
"That Old Japanese Devil, Tsukamoto Do, knew long ago that he would eventually die a terrible death. So, he set up a revenge fund for himself."
"After the news of the Old Japanese Devil's death spread, that fund had already been activated."
"At the same time, the one hundred million US dollar revenge fund also began to operate."
"Unless the enemy is killed, that fund will not stop operating…"
Lin Feng asked the two very directly,
"How will you deal with this fund?"
Li Fu and Wang Jianjun were stunned. They hadn't considered this question at all.
In their minds, killing the Old Japanese Devil and the Little Japanese Devils was enough. How could there be this trouble?
Lin Feng sighed, "You guys aren't doing well. You're all just treating the symptoms, not the root cause."
"What you need to do is cut the grass by the roots."
Li Fu and Wang Jianjun exchanged glances and asked in unison, "What should we do?"
Lin Feng shrugged, "Our ancestors taught us a long time ago—money makes the mare go."
"But if there's enough money, it can also work in reverse—money makes the mill grind the ghost."
"Generally, fund managers have very high professional ethics."
"But this fund is different."
"This is a revenge fund managed by the Tsukamoto Family, or rather, an assassin fund."
"This was never a legitimate job."
"The professional ethics of the fund manager can be imagined."
Li Fu's eyes lit up, "Brother Feng, you mean, we can go through him?"
Wang Jianjun frowned, "It won't be easy, right?"
"Since that Old Japanese Devil, Tsukamoto Do, entrusted the revenge fund manager to him, it shows he trusts him very much."
"No matter how lacking in professional ethics that manager is, he wouldn't listen to us, would he?"
Lin Feng smiled, "According to normal logic, you are absolutely right."
"But the problem is, we are not operating on normal logic right now."
"I just said, money moves people's hearts."
"Ten thousand dollars is enough to get many people to risk their lives, let alone one hundred million US dollars."
"Assassins want this money, so guess what, do the Little Japanese Devils of the Tsukamoto Family want this money?"
Li Fu and Wang Jianjun were immediately stunned.
Lin Feng said leisurely, "For Wo Luen Shing's Chairman election, Big D only gave each of the uncles two hundred thousand money to push Chui Gei into power."
"One hundred million US dollars, that's a lot of money."
"Can that Little Japanese Devil, Tsukamoto Eiji, let it go?"
Wang Jianjun immediately understood, "Boss, you mean… no matter who kills Seraph, when he hands over the head, he will face Tsukamoto Eiji's pursuit?"
Lin Feng smiled, "Otherwise?"
"Are they really going to let the Tsukamoto Family's one hundred million US dollars fall into the hands of outsiders?"
Wang Jianjun frowned, "But that would ruin their credibility. Will those assassins let Tsukamoto Eiji off?"
Lin Feng said indifferently, "Just kill the people who know."
Li Fu's pupils contracted, "The manager of the Tsukamoto Family's fund also has to die?"
Lin Feng retorted, "If that guy is alive, how can the Little Japanese Devils of the Tsukamoto Family take the money with peace of mind?"
Li Fu and Wang Jianjun exchanged glances and nodded in unison:
"Brother Feng, we understand."
Lin Feng reminded, "You have two things to do: find Uncle Liang. He can die of illness, but he cannot die at the hands of the Little Japanese Devils."
"Go find Officer Chan. That guy is Seraph."
"Using his identity will make things easier."
"You can use the power of Thunder Security at any time."
Li Fu and Wang Jianjun nodded in unison, "Yes, we'll go now."
Lin Feng waved his hand, "Hurry up and go."
"Xiao Fu, I'm giving you a leave of absence. Don't come to me until this matter is resolved."
Li Fu agreed, put down his phone, and he and Wang Jianjun hurried away.
As Lin Feng just sat down, the phone rang urgently. It was Wong Bing-Yiu calling.
"Chief Huang, not sleeping at this hour?"
Wong Bing-Yiu was quite exasperated, "These past two days have been really strange. Hong Kong has been having big problems."
"I finally managed to settle the Foreigners, but I didn't expect to have to deal with the Little Japanese Devils from the East."
"Mr. Lin, I'm here to ask for your help."
"That guy Tsukamoto Do died in the hotel and was just discovered."
"May I ask who killed this guy?"
Lin Feng said unhurriedly, "Chief Huang, do you know Tsukamoto Do's background?"
Wong Bing-Yiu shook his head, "I don't know."
Lin Feng then recounted Tsukamoto Do's background, and the latter was furious, "I knew there were no good Little Japanese Devils."
"That Old Japanese Devil deserved to die!"
Upon hearing Wong Bing-Yiu's tone, Lin Feng casually said,
"The guy who killed the Old Japanese Devil is Seraph, the world's number one assassin."
"As for Seraph's detailed information, you'll have to investigate that yourself."
