Chapter 379: There are always people who don't know their place
"Based on past experiences, what do we usually do when something like this happens?"
Although Li Fu had received authorization from Lin Feng and Ding Yao, he still asked this question.
Xiao Ma looked at Sung Tse-Ho, whose eyes flashed with a cold glint:
"Sister Yao is someone who can't tolerate a speck of sand in her eye."
"If we don't bully others, they should be grateful."
"But if others dare to bully us…"
"We absolutely cannot tolerate it!"
Li Fu gave a thumbs up:
"Sister-in-law is domineering!"
He suddenly thought of something.
"Everyone, when addressing Sister-in-law, just call her 'Sister-in-law.' Don't include her ranking."
Ding Yao was one of Lin Feng's women.
She was ranked third.
Under normal circumstances, Li Fu would have to call Ding Yao 'Third Sister-in-law.'
Xiao Ma asked, puzzled:
"Then why did you, just now at the airport…"
Li Fu resisted the urge to roll his eyes:
"Brother Feng was present then."
"Taiwan is Sister-in-law's home turf, so absolutely do not include her ranking."
Xiao Ma seemed to understand, yet not fully.
This was a warrior; just give him orders, and there was no need to worry about the mission not being completed.
But similarly, a warrior, much like a Red Pole in a Hong Kong Triad, relied on force, and his intelligence was a bit lacking.
Sung Tse-Ho glared at Xiao Ma:
"Why are you calling her 'Sister-in-law'? Just call her 'Sister Yao.'"
"She is our boss."
Xiao Ma nodded repeatedly:
"Brother Hao is right."
Li Fu smiled:
"That's true."
Lin Feng's influence was vast; in addition to his own power, his women each had considerable groups.
They also formed a considerably large force.
These forces, like stars surrounding the moon, gathered around Lin Feng, tightly connected.
Of course, with influence came the division of gangs.
Sung Tse-Ho naturally stood on Ding Yao's side.
Xiao Ma's brain wasn't sharp enough; he only recognized Sung Tse-Ho, so he wasn't afraid of making mistakes.
Li Fu clapped his hands:
"Brother Feng said that we don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble. If someone dares to bully us, what are we waiting for?"
"Bring the little fatty over."
The little fatty burst into tears upon seeing everyone:
"Brother Fu, you must stand up for me."
Everyone looked closely and frowned inwardly; the little fatty had been beaten terribly.
Wang Jingjing was born fat, but he naturally exuded cheerfulness.
Fat people were generally kind and especially likable.
This guy was no good at fighting, and even when chasing girls, he wouldn't do anything out of line.
"I saw that the beautiful woman was single, so I went up to chat her up…"
"I never expected that she was already taken."
"If I had known she was taken, I absolutely wouldn't have approached her."
"That guy brought people and beat me up."
"Getting a beating isn't really a big deal, but why did they beat up people from our crew too?"
"Brother Fu, you must stand up for me."
The little fatty wailed.
Li Fu said, speechless:
"You should change your personality. Is a beautiful woman something you can look at right now?"
Xiao Ma wondered:
"Brother Fu, that's not right, why can't we admire beautiful women?"
Li Fu explained:
"Of course, you can look at beautiful women."
"But it's best not to casually chat them up."
Xiao Ma was stunned.
Li Fu's expression was calm,
"Handsome men and beautiful women have always been precious resources."
Xiao Ma was astonished:
"Resources?"
Li Fu was somewhat helpless:
"My way of putting it is a bit blunt, but it's the truth."
"Handsome men and beautiful women are always few, and rarity makes them valuable."
"These handsome men and beautiful women are basically owned by various major forces."
"Otherwise, their lives wouldn't be so smooth."
"Especially in Taiwan."
"The Black Gold Empire, with its collusion between black and white, leaves almost no room for ordinary people to rise."
"These guys, when they see something good, they don't pursue it; they just snatch it directly."
"How big is Taiwan?"
"Anyone who is handsome or beautiful has probably already become famous."
"According to the modus operandi of the Black Gold Empire, if you want to remain untainted, or rather, if you want to live peacefully in this dark world, what should you do?"
"In Hong Kong, even hawkers know to join a Triad for protection."
"Not to mention in Taiwan."
Li Fu looked at the dumbfounded little fatty, his face expressionless:
"Your beating was not in vain!"
The little fatty had long stopped crying, and a sentence blurted out from his mouth:
"But Brother Fu, didn't you say it's fine to chat up beautiful women?"
Li Fu's forehead was covered in black lines.
The little fatty was referring to how he had mistaken Ding Yao for a stranger at the airport and tried to chat her up, and when he learned her true identity, he almost died of fright.
It was Li Fu and the others who had comforted him.
He hadn't expected this guy to be waiting for him here.
Li Fu said angrily:
"That's right, I did say that."
"But that's for normal people."
The little fatty was already dumbfounded.
Sung Tse-Ho, however, agreed with Li Fu's words:
"Everyone has a love for beauty. It's human nature for people to chat up a beautiful woman if they find her attractive."
"No matter how powerful the beautiful woman's background is, at most, she'll scold you a bit; she won't do anything to you."
The little fatty was extremely wronged:
"But I got beaten up!"
Xiao Ma patted his shoulder:
"You deserved that beating!"
"You just dared to chat up Sister Yao, and then you immediately went to chat up another beautiful woman."
"You really are bold."
The little fatty dared not speak at all.
Li Fu shrugged:
"These guys in Taiwan have no moral bottom line; they enjoy bullying ordinary people."
"No wonder the Triad forces in Taiwan are so massive."
Actually, such a thing, in everyone's eyes, was completely inconceivable.
Why would someone beat another person just because they chatted up their girlfriend?
At most, you'd just give a warning.
Who could know that a seemingly single woman was actually not single?
The little fatty quickly promised:
"Gentlemen, I won't do it next time."
Li Fu sighed:
"I don't believe it!"
The little fatty was half-choked.
But thinking carefully about his own personality, if he saw a single beautiful woman and didn't go to chat her up, would that even work?
It would be like taking his own life.
"The Young and Dangerous from the Mong Kok lineage, their biggest characteristic is being lecherous."
"Boss Ding, Brother Kun, Brother Feng, Chicken…"
"Now, add you to the list."
"I truly don't believe you can change your lecherous habit."
The little fatty was astonished:
"Is the Mong Kok lineage that famous?"
Li Fu suddenly felt strange as he said this:
"Weren't you with Chicken?"
"With him accompanying you, how could you still get beaten up?"
The little fatty's mouth twitched:
"I wasn't with Brother Ji."
Sung Tse-Ho, suppressing a laugh, said:
"Chicken was clamoring to experience Taiwan's nightlife."
"So I arranged for him to stay at one of our own hotels."
"Now he's surrounded by beautiful women, completely lost in pleasure."
The little fatty's mouth dropped open:
"Ah?!"
Suddenly, he felt incredibly wronged.
Why didn't he follow closely in the footsteps of the big boss?
While filming in Hong Kong was tough and had no regular schedule,
the little fatty enjoyed it thoroughly.
Whenever filming ended, Chicken would always arrange some fun activities for him.
As a Mong Kok hall master, he knew which districts in Hong Kong had pretty girls better than anyone.
Not to mention the many beautiful women under Sister Thirteen.
The little fatty had just arrived in Taiwan and was so overjoyed that he forgot his surroundings, even separating from Chicken.
"From now on, I will definitely stick to Chicken's side."
Although Liang Kun also appreciated the little fatty, Wang Jingjing had self-awareness.
Liang Kun's status was very high, and Lin Feng's status was even higher.
Although the little fatty was discovered by Lin Feng, he should logically be closer to Lin Feng.
The unfortunate truth was… Lin Feng was an out-and-out big shot. The careful and cautious demeanor of the Hung Hing bosses when facing Lin Feng was something he would never forget.
The little fatty felt that he and Lin Feng were simply not in the same world, a complete heaven-and-earth difference, and he was very self-conscious.
Let alone Lin Feng, even Lin Feng's right-hand men were big shots to him.
Conversely, he inexplicably found a lot of common ground with Chicken, which was very rare.
In an instant, the little fatty had an epiphany:
"I was so foolish. With such good conditions, why wasn't I quick to curry favor? What was I thinking?"
Wang Jingjing wished he could slap himself a few times.
Fortunately, he was in public, which made him resist the urge to act, otherwise, it would have been truly mortifying.
Sung Tse-Ho and Xiao Ma held back their laughter and said nothing.
The characteristic of the Hung Hing Mong Kok lineage really did include "lecherousness."
Liang Kun, needless to say, before he met Shuiling, he used to carry many fire extinguishers with him.
Lin Feng was no less; he had already married eight wives, which was almost inhuman.
They had also seen Chicken's lecherous ways.
Coupled with the little fatty Wang Jingjing's personal account… it was truly impressive.
Li Fu ignored the little fatty and instructed Sung Tse-Ho:
"We cannot let the Three United Gang's reputation be tarnished like this."
"Mobilize the Triad's informants. I want to know who was behind this by tomorrow noon."
Sung Tse-Ho nodded slightly: "Brother Fu, rest assured, I will dig out their ancestors for three generations."
...Even after arriving in Taiwan from Hong Kong, Lin Feng's routine remained unchanged.
He still woke up at twelve noon.
When Lin Feng woke up, Ding Yao was wrapped around him like an octopus.
He gently struggled free, not expecting her to immediately wake up:
"Don't think about leaving me and going alone."
Lin Feng said speechlessly: "You're very fierce, so why were you begging for mercy last night?"
Ding Yao "fiercely" pounded his chest with her small fists: "You're still talking about it."
"How can you be so ruthless, going on until four in the morning?"
Lin Feng was even more speechless: "Who was on top of me all night yesterday, not getting off?"
Ding Yao didn't listen,
"We haven't seen each other for two months."
"Don't you have to compensate me?"
"I haven't had anything good to eat for two months, so what's wrong with indulging a little?"
Lin Feng smiled: "I'm fine, but are you fine?"
He gently patted Ding Yao,
"Can you get up?"
Ding Yao's brows unconsciously furrowed:
"I need to rest a bit."
Lin Feng expressed understanding.
After a day of madness, when he went to bed at four in the morning, Lin Feng slept soundly. That goes without saying for Ding Yao.
Ding Yao struggled to put on her clothes but still couldn't get up.
Her face was flushed, and her eyes were alluring:
"Oh, I still need to lie down for a bit."
Lin Feng, helpless, stepped forward and hugged Ding Yao:
"Let's go, have your meal first, and then you can rest early."
Ding Yao said happily: "Thank you, husband."
When Li Fu came in to report, he saw the couple lovingly feeding each other, and his eye twitched involuntarily.
Brother Feng was good in every way, but his lust was truly hard to comment on.
What made him even more uncomfortable was that Lin Feng had a clear understanding of this.
Lin Feng knew that doing this was wrong, but he just wouldn't change.
Or rather, he knew he should change, but couldn't.
He often self-deprecated in front of Liang Kun.
If it were an ordinary person, seeing the two of them like that, they might have felt embarrassed.
Li Fu was different; he directly ignored the scene in front of him and reported:
"Brother Feng, Sister-in-law."
"The film crew has been arranged."
"However, yesterday, when Wang Jingjing went to the night market for sightseeing and scouting, he was beaten by a local Triad."
"The one who made the move was a leader of the Four Seas Gang."
"It is said that he is highly regarded by Song Jingang, the leader of the Four Seas Gang."
Embarrassed?
That's impossible!
Li Fu was not visiting Taiwan for the first time, nor was it his first time seeing Third Sister-in-law Ding Yao.
Ding Yao was different from Lin Feng's other women; Lin Feng's other women, like Ho Man, Lok Wai-Jan, and Fang Ting, all had strong career ambitions.
The other women all wanted to show their worth and had their own career pursuits.
Although Ding Yao was the leader of the Three United Gang, her values were more traditional.
She believed that a man's task was to conquer the world, and a woman's task was to conquer a man.
Her man's success was Ding Yao's greatest success.
Ding Yao tried every possible means to develop the Three United Gang into the largest Triad in Taiwan, not for herself, but for Lin Feng.
Assisting Lin Feng to become the number one in the world was Ding Yao's life goal.
It could be said that, to some extent, Ding Yao had no self; all her goals revolved around Lin Feng, and pleasing Lin Feng was the meaning of her existence.
Lin Feng frowned slightly: "The chubby guy got beaten?"
Li Fu smiled bitterly: "Wang Jingjing met a beautiful single woman at the night market, and just approached her to chat a bit, with no other actions, but ended up getting a severe beating."
"Not only was he beaten, but even the crew members suffered collateral damage."
Lin Feng's expression became stern, and he asked: "Who did it?"
Li Fu said without hesitation: "A major leader under Old Song, the leader of the Four Seas Gang."
"This guy is currently in a major war with Chow Chiu-Sin of the Pine Forest Gang; the Four Seas Gang's situation is not good, almost being completely suppressed."
"He's in a very bad mood."
"Yesterday, hearing that his woman was being chatted up, he found an excuse to give the chubby guy a good beating."
"This guy was purely venting, with no intention of taking a life."
Lin Feng shook his head: "I don't think that guy was being benevolent."
"A mere nobody who doesn't even deserve a name dares to slap the Three United Gang in the face..."
"Xiao Fu, have Jian Jun and Li Mark go do it."
Li Fu had long known he would get such an answer: "Brother Feng, to what extent?"
Lin Feng's tone was particularly flat: "Our style has always been to cut the grass and pull out the roots."
"We have no enemies."
Li Fu immediately knew what to do: "I'll go do it right away."
Lin Feng stopped him and asked: "Who accompanied the chubby guy to the night market yesterday?"
"Transfer him; he's not suitable for the gang."
Li Fu nodded repeatedly: "Yes."
Li Fu saw the two still lovingly feeding each other and quickly bowed out.
From beginning to end, Ding Yao did not speak.
When men are doing things, good women never interject carelessly.
What?
This is Taiwan? Her territory?
Don't joke, even Ding Yao herself belongs to Lin Feng, so the Three United Gang naturally also belongs to Lin Feng.
Ding Yao even consoled him: "Husband, don't be angry."
"These idiots from the Four Seas Gang want to be reincarnated early, and I'll have someone help them along."
Lin Feng smiled: "The strength of the Four Seas Gang is not in individual combat power."
"Their strength lies in their network of connections within the government."
"Most members of the Four Seas Gang are basically second-generation government officials, so they are naturally unimpeded in legitimate circles."
"Unfortunately, they forgot that they are involved in the underworld, making money through illicit means."
"If they were solely focused on making money, there would be no problem, and no one would stop them."
"But occupying government benefits while also reaching into the gangs is a major taboo."
"This is an act of seeking death."
Ding Yao looked rather bewildered: "All gangs in Taiwan operate this way; is there a connection?"
Lin Feng said indifferently: "The people of Taiwan can tolerate it now, but as things escalate, there will eventually be a day when they can no longer tolerate it."
"What will happen then?"
"The government will have to use the heads of certain gangs to quell public anger."
"The collusion between the black and white appears powerful, but the true power has never been held by any gang or Triad, but by the government."
"The Four Seas Gang is just a front."
Ding Yao nodded repeatedly.
Lin Feng playfully flicked Ding Yao's delicate nose: "I know your capabilities, but you have to understand, no one is a fool."
"Brother Kun has always spoken the truth; when we're out here, we're after money."
"Colluding with the government brings no benefits, unless you're not in the underworld."
Ding Yao said thoughtfully: "But I established the Three United Gang."
Lin Feng smiled: "So what?"
"Transform."
"With my support behind you, wouldn't it be very simple to transform?"
"These short-sighted guys in Taiwan would be eager for you to give up such a large illicit market."
Ding Yao frowned: "I still wanted to unify the Triad forces in Taiwan and give it to you as a gift."
Lin Feng waved his hand: "I appreciate your kind intentions."
"But you forgot, I am a legitimate businessman, and I have no intention of being an underground king."
"The legitimate world always holds more power than the underworld."
"You should also learn from me, and, as a government official, control the underground forces of Taiwan."
Ding Yao immediately became interested: "As long as it helps you, I'll do anything."
"Husband, how should I do it?"
Lin Feng chuckled: "There are many ways; the simplest is to become the big financier."
The big financiers of Hong Kong's Triads hold respected positions; whether they join the Triad or not, when they have a request, they will inevitably receive the full assistance of the Triad.
You can't offend the god of wealth, after all.
Ding Yao frowned slightly: "But wouldn't that make me a target for villains?"
Lin Feng said speechlessly: "Having you be the big financier, having you secretly control the underground forces, doesn't mean you're harmless."
"Sung Tse-Ho and Li Mark are there for you to build a self-defense team."
Ding Yao's eyes lit up, but she still had one question,
"How do I whiten myself?"

Chapter 380: The Tragic Past of Four Seas Gang
The purpose of Four Seas Gang's establishment was not for dominance, but purely for making money.
The core members of Four Seas Gang all had parents who were government officials in Taiwan.
Regardless of their positions, Four Seas Gang naturally had an inseparable connection with the Taiwan government.
At that time, Old Song of Four Seas Gang gathered a few like-minded second-generation individuals and said, "To make money, the money allowed by the government is the easiest to earn. Our families all have some connections, so why don't we link up and earn it together?"
It's good to stick together; it's also harder to be bullied.
And so, Four Seas Gang was established.
Indeed, just as Old Song said, once Four Seas Gang was formed, they monopolized the island's illicit smuggling operations.
Nothing else, their connections within the government were truly incomparable to other Triads.
With such a relationship, the development of Four Seas Gang was like a fish in water, growing rapidly in a short period, showing signs of surpassing Bamboo Union Gang.
One important factor was its background.
Bamboo Union Gang's background was the descendants of mainlanders on Taiwan.
They were bullied, and out of necessity, the poor banded together to form a Triad.
In other words, their establishment of a Triad was not proactive; it was entirely a passive act born out of desperation.
Their relationship with the government was naturally not as good as imagined.
Using a Triad to cover smuggling was not Old Song's innovation.
The Kuomintang had such a history.
The Song family, one of the four big families, had established the Qixing Company for smuggling when they were in their Mainland.
With such official backing, the Qixing Company at one point did whatever it wanted, and basically no one dared to provoke them.
Old Song and his group were merely imitating them.
However, no matter what, the influence of Four Seas Gang inevitably expanded throughout Taiwan.
Compared to Bamboo Union Gang, Four Seas Gang, with its strong government background, was highly welcomed by the government.
One was its own child, the other was a troublemaker.
How to choose, goes without saying.
Four Seas Gang expanded smoothly, seemingly on the verge of overthrowing Bamboo Union Gang, but then encountered two consecutive blows.
One was Three United Gang.
Three United Gang, like Bamboo Union Gang, was an old Triad established long ago.
The leader was Lui Gung, who certainly had some tricks up his sleeve.
Lui Gung was a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong, never clearly choosing sides, offending neither of the two Triads.
Four Seas Gang had approached him, but Lui Gung remained unmoved.
Four Seas Gang's exaggerated momentum immediately stalled.
Ultimately, compared to Bamboo Union Gang, Four Seas Gang was a rising star; their foundation was not as deep as Three United Gang's.
While at odds with Bamboo Union Gang, it would be unwise to rashly antagonize Three United Gang.
Moreover, Four Seas Gang's goal was to make money.
Even if Three United Gang didn't choose sides, as long as it didn't hinder Four Seas Gang's smuggling activities, they were good friends.
Who would have thought that after finally persuading Lui Gung, he was gone!
Three United Gang changed its leader; it was Lui Gung's sister-in-law, Ding Yao.
Four Seas Gang's desire to conquer Three United Gang was reignited.
Lui Gung was an old hand who had climbed his way up for a lifetime, a representative figure of cunning and shrewdness.
Dealing with him, from Old Song downwards, was a headache.
Now that he was replaced by a delicate beauty, that was simply good news for their Four Seas Gang!
Old Song eagerly went to court Ding Yao, but was met with a harsh rejection.
The enraged fellow immediately threatened to teach Ding Yao a lesson.
But then he found that two branch offices were missing that day.
All the high-ranking members of the branch offices had disappeared, without a trace left behind.
Old Song was stunned.
He would rather believe that Bamboo Union Gang was behind it than absolutely believe it was Ding Yao's doing.
But after a careful investigation, he discovered Ding Yao's background — Lin Feng's woman from the Hung Hing Triad in Hong Kong?
It was Li Fu, Lin Feng's subordinate, who made the move!
Old Song felt unwilling; he had been confronting Bamboo Union Gang for so long, and even when at a disadvantage, he had never encountered such an outrageous incident.
Losing two branch offices was no small matter for any Triad.
Old Song still wanted to give it a try, so he publicly declared that he would make Three United Gang pay.
And then... that day, Four Seas Gang lost another branch office. The high-ranking members of the branch office disappeared without a trace.
It was still Three United Gang's doing, and still Li Fu leading the team.
Old Song cowered!
He trembled all over.
For the first time, he felt that the underworld was not so easy to navigate.
The Triads in Taiwan engaged in major battles, and there were casualties on both sides; injuries and deaths were normal.
But Three United Gang's actions were clearly abnormal!
Whose battles involve the systematic elimination of entire branch offices, one by one?
With no one seen alive and no corpses found dead?
Is this a Triad war?
Even the battles with his Mainland decades ago weren't this outrageous.
They joined the underworld to make money, not to risk their lives.
Old Song was already the leader of Four Seas Gang and a prominent figure in Taiwan's upper class; he didn't need to risk his life, did he?
Not to mention Old Song chickened out; other high-ranking members of Four Seas Gang also chickened out.
Three United Gang's methods were too cruel.
Can't afford to provoke them, can't afford to provoke them!
Old Song pondered for a long time, then asked someone to contact Ding Yao, stating that it was a misunderstanding, and made a large amount of compensation, and the matter was dropped.
Ding Yao, having just taken power, strongly used Four Seas Gang as a warning, and since then, no one in the underworld dared to make a move on her — casually throwing people into the sea, no one wanted such an enemy.
Old Song originally thought that Ding Yao would be unyielding once she had the upper hand, but he didn't expect her to know when to stop, giving off a feeling of a divine dragon that shows its head but not its tail.
Ding Yao quieted down, and Old Song breathed a long sigh of relief.
Four Seas Gang no longer had its previous surging expansion momentum, even when Ya Ba Zi of Bamboo Union Gang was imprisoned, they didn't think of taking advantage of the situation to expand.
It wasn't that Four Seas Gang didn't want to expand; Bamboo Union Gang and Three United Gang were blocking them. If they really angered the two, who knew if they would unite to give them a harsh blow?
After Taiwan became a three-way standoff, it was quite peaceful for a period.
Four Seas Gang greatly eased its difficult situation.
It took more than two years to recover, and then they encountered another blow — Chow Chiu-Sin of Pine Forest Gang arrived!
This matter was a bit unfair.
Old Song felt that he was definitely jinxed, otherwise, how could he encounter such troublesome things?
Taiwan is a black gold empire, as the name suggests, it means that one can use black money to enter the government as a Triad member.
Old Song had been a councilor for many consecutive years.
He was an unshakeable figure, believing that this election was also a sure thing.
In fact, it was.
Four Seas Gang's network of connections was here, and the parents of those high-ranking officials also hoped that Old Song could be elected councilor, so that they could better seek benefits for their children or their families.
It can be said that Old Song's ascension was a consensus among Four Seas Gang members and the recognition of the Taiwan government, with no suspense at all.
In fact, it was true; in the Kuomintang's primary election, Old Song easily secured the party's nomination.
Re-election as councilor, this was a foregone conclusion.
Then the unexpected problem appeared.
Old Song never expected that running for councilor would attract such a formidable enemy — Chow Chiu-Sin of Pine Forest Gang!
This guy, like a mad dog, brazenly attacked Four Seas Gang.
When had Old Song ever suffered such humiliation?
He was, after all, a well-known figure in Taiwan; apart from suffering a small loss at Ding Yao's hands, even Ya Ba Zi of Bamboo Union Gang had never caused him any trouble.
Old Song's temper immediately flared up.
He knew he had to fight back.
Otherwise, any random cat or dog would humiliate him in the future.
He had to act, he had to act!
And then... Old Song almost choked to death from anger — Four Seas Gang was actually being suppressed by Pine Forest Gang!
Old Song was really going crazy; now, any random cat or dog could show off on his head, is that right?
They couldn't defeat Bamboo Union Gang, but at least they had wins and losses.
They couldn't defeat Three United Gang; the opponent was too ruthless.
Who exactly was Pine Forest Gang?
Why couldn't he defeat them either?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Old Song was furious.
He spoke at the high-level meeting, saying that no matter what, they had to let the other side know their power!
So, a grand counterattack began.
Old Song thought to himself, 'Before, we didn't take you seriously, but now we do, so let's see you... Holy crap!'
Four Seas Gang was being suppressed by Pine Forest Gang!
Old Song was numb.
The high-ranking members of Four Seas Gang chickened out.
They couldn't defeat Pine Forest Gang, absolutely couldn't defeat Pine Forest Gang!
Where did these monsters and demons come from?
Old Song was practically going crazy.
What to do if they couldn't win?
Then they definitely had to keep fighting!
Otherwise, others would say they were afraid of the opponent.
The kind are bullied, the good-natured are ridden.
Those in the Triad will only escalate, never show mercy.
Song Jingang was extremely, extremely depressed.
It was a completely unprovoked disaster!
Running for councillor has its own rules. If your network isn't in place, isn't it normal to lose?
How can you be like this, losing and still wanting to snatch it back?
But on second thought, this really is the character of a Taiwan councillor!
Song Jingang became even more depressed.
After seeing the Triad briefing tonight, in his vexation, he directly drank a bottle of Kinmen Kaoliang Liquor.
Although Song Jingang was the leader of the Four Seas Gang, he was different from other Triad members.
He didn't like red wine; he only liked Kaoliang Liquor.
Just as three liang of liquor went down.
The phone rang.
Song Jingang was very angry:
"Damn it, if it's not important, I'll kill you."
The voice from the other side made Song Jingang jump up directly.
"Song Jingang, are you tired of living, daring to speak to me like that?"
Song Jingang really jumped up; he would never forget that voice.
In an instant, it took him back to a certain night three years ago.
It was the owner of this voice who almost stabbed him with a three-edged military dagger.
"Brother Fu..."
In an instant, Song Jingang learned the secret Sichuan opera face-changing technique, an unpassed secret.
With a fawning face, full of flattery, his voice low and kind, his waist bowed extremely low, completely disregarding whether the other side could see him or not.
"Brother Fu, when did you come to Taiwan? You didn't even tell me. I would have hosted you and celebrated properly."
Li Fu snorted coldly:
"Celebrate me? You want me dead!"
Song Jingang let out a dry laugh:
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Everyone knows our friendship can withstand the test of fire."
Li Fu snorted coldly:
"I don't think so."
Song Jingang started sweating.
"Brother Fu, please don't listen to those bastards who want to see the world in chaos; they don't have good intentions."
Li Fu chuckled:
"Is that so?"
"I haven't been back to Taiwan for a long time. I just came back yesterday and then encountered a troublesome matter."
Song Jingang immediately pounded his chest loudly:
"Brother Fu, whatever troublesome matter you have, just tell me. I'll handle it for you."
"You don't need to do it yourself."
Li Fu said indifferently:
"Yesterday, when my friend was at the night market, he struck up a conversation with a single beautiful woman."
"Nothing happened between them, but later, my friend and his group were beaten up by someone."
Song Jingang blurted out:
"It wasn't me!"
Li Fu said coldly:
"Of course it wasn't you."
Song Jingang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said:
"Brother Fu, don't worry, I'll have my subordinates search for them immediately. I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."
Li Fu reprimanded:
"I haven't finished yet... What happened yesterday was indeed not done by you, but by your subordinate."
Song Jingang was petrified!
He stood frozen on the spot, almost dying right there.
"I... Si... Was it done by someone from our Four Seas Gang?"
Li Fu snorted coldly:
"Do you think I would lie to you?"
"Are you worthy?"
Song Jingang said with a fawning smile:
"I am not worthy!"
If anyone saw Song Jingang like this, they would definitely feel it was quite surreal.
Song Jingang was the leader of the Four Seas Gang, with connections throughout the Taiwan government, from top to bottom. Even the leader of Taiwan knew him.
In front of outsiders, Song Jingang was both refined and extremely domineering.
Even in front of the leader, he had never been so subservient.
But in front of Li Fu, Song Jingang's head was as low as it could be.
Li Fu's voice was devoid of emotion:
"You do have self-awareness."
Song Jingang immediately made a promise:
"Brother Fu, please give me three hours, and I will definitely give you an explanation."
Li Fu thought for a moment and said:
"Alright, I'll give you three hours."
"If you don't give us an explanation, then it won't be me looking for you, but Brother Feng."
Song Jingang's heart raced, and his mouth was dry.
"Has Brother Feng arrived?"
Li Fu said faintly:
"Haven't you understood my meaning yet?"
"If you don't fulfill your promise, no matter where you hide, you will be caught and brought before Brother Feng."
"You should be clear about the consequences."
Song Jingang immediately said:
"Brother Fu, I understand Brother Feng's rules. Our Four Seas Gang and Three United Gang have always been friends."
"Give me three hours... no, two hours, and I will definitely give you an explanation."
Li Fu hung up the phone with satisfaction.
Sung Tse-Ho and Li Mark were stunned.
Li Fu had put the phone on speaker, and everyone clearly heard their conversation.
Li Mark looked at Li Fu in surprise:
"Brother Fu, did you used to operate in Taiwan?"
Li Fu shrugged:
"I haven't operated in Taiwan."
Li Mark shook his head and said:
"Song Jingang is, after all, the leader of the Four Seas Gang, a prominent figure in the underworld."
"Although the combat power of the lower-level members of the Four Seas Gang is not strong, honestly, their wealth is undoubtedly the first among many Triads."
"The Pine Forest Gang may be on top now, but that's only because the Four Seas Gang hasn't used its financial offensive yet."
"If the Four Seas Gang's financial offensive were truly launched, the Pine Forest Gang wouldn't stand a chance."
Li Fu looked at Li Mark in surprise:
"You seem to understand things clearly."
Li Mark scratched his head and said frankly:
"This is all what Sister Yao and Brother Hao usually tell me."
Li Fu then understood. With Li Mark's brain, he certainly couldn't analyze to this level.
"I haven't operated in Taiwan, but I did a few private jobs here with Brother Feng."
Sung Tse-Ho and Li Mark were astonished and asked in unison:
"Private jobs?"
Li Fu explained:
"When Sister Yao first took over, she didn't have many trusted subordinates, so Brother Feng brought me and a few other brothers to Taiwan to establish Sister Yao's authority."
"It just so happened that the Four Seas Gang encountered setbacks in their struggle with the Bamboo Union Gang and wanted to use the Three United Gang to establish their authority."
"Coincidentally, Sister Yao also needed to do something in the underworld to establish her authority."
"Brother Feng and I, within three days, sent the high-ranking members of three Four Seas Gang halls to feed the ocean, and then dragged Song Jingang out of his home."
"Since then, the Four Seas Gang and the Three United Gang have always kept to themselves, until yesterday."
Sung Tse-Ho and Li Mark were numb.
You call that not operating in Taiwan?
It's a good thing you didn't continue to operate in Taiwan. If you had stayed in Taiwan longer, would there have been anything left for anyone else?
Terrifying!
Too terrifying!
Sung Tse-Ho frowned and said:
"Song Jingang is a prominent figure in the underworld, after all. When he encountered such a thing, did he not think of retaliation?"
Li Fu smiled:
"Retaliation?"
"Does he dare?"
"If he really dares, he's welcome to retaliate as much as he wants."
Li Fu had high moral standards.
In Hong Kong, unless it was Lin Feng's order, he would not take anyone's life, especially Triad members.
But in Taiwan, Li Fu killed without batting an eye.
Never mind the Triad members in Taiwan, what about the government officials in Taiwan?
To be honest, it was just that Lin Feng hadn't given a similar order; otherwise, Li Fu would have definitely killed a few to try them out.
Li Fu would not only not refuse, but would even be eager to try.
Wang Jianjun understood Li Fu's thoughts best and sighed:
"Oh, what a pity."
"If Thunder Security had been established three years earlier, that would have been great."
Li Fu gave Wang Jianjun a sidelong glance. Are you trying to achieve something in a different context?
Sung Tse-Ho and Li Mark looked at Li Fu with immense reverence.
No wonder the Three United Gang, from top to bottom, obeyed Li Fu's commands without question; it turned out his prestige was even higher than theirs.
However, if they had turned the tide during the Three United Gang's time of crisis, they would surely have gained such high prestige as well.
Both expressed regret.
Wang Jianjun was very curious:
"Brother Fu, since you have such deterrent power over the Four Seas Gang, why did you still let us come out?"
"Wouldn't one phone call from you have been enough?"
"Song Jingang wouldn't dare refuse your order."
Li Fu smiled and said:
"Me taking you to fight Song Jingang would be like using a cannon to kill a mosquito—a waste."
"Our target is someone else."
Wang Jianjun immediately became interested:
"Who is it?"
Li Fu smiled and said:
"Minister Hou!"
