Chapter 9: Fear, still fear!
Lin Feng didn't care what happened with Ba Bi. He asked,
"How much?"
Xiao Fu smiled:
"Forty million!"
A cold glint appeared in Lin Feng's eyes:
"Is Ba Bi's business that big?"
Liang Kun jumped in fright:
"Xiao Fu, did you rob all of Ba Bi's money?"
Li Fu pouted,
"It's all ill-gotten gains, just a convenient thing to do."
Lin Feng picked up a box and threw it to Liang Kun:
"Brother Kun, this is Ba Bi's compensation to you."
Liang Kun's eyes popped, his mood swinging wildly from joy to sorrow:
"For me?"
Lin Feng said matter-of-factly:
"This guy was doing things under your name, so naturally, he needs to compensate you."
"Twenty million... I still think it's too little!"
Liang Kun immediately broke into a wide smile:
"Brothers for life, thank you!"
Lin Feng rolled his eyes:
"We're brothers, what's with the thanks!"
He opened another box, casually took out half and placed it on the ground, then threw the remaining money and the box to Li Fu:
"This is yours."
Li Fu asked in astonishment:
"Boss, you're giving this to me?"
Lin Feng pointed at Liang Kun:
"Brother Kun often teaches me that when you're out in the world, making money is paramount."
"If you risk your life and don't make money, isn't that a huge loss?"
Li Fu happily took the money:
"Thank you, Brother Feng, thank you, Brother Kun."
Liang Kun kept shaking his head:
"Don't thank me, just thank him alone."
"Ba Bi's head is worth so much, it makes me want to chop him down once myself."
Li Fu was about to speak but was directly stopped by Lin Feng:
"Go grab a few bottles of wine from my bar. We'll drink until dawn."
Li Fu happily went.
Lin Feng checked his watch; it was already past midnight.
"Ding, daily intelligence system refresh."
"Crime (White): Brother Shan is actively contacting lawyers to bail out the Vietnamese Three Brothers."
"Crime (White): Mo Chiu-Nam wants to make a name for himself in Tsim Sha Tsui and urgently needs the support of certain people."
"Crime (White): The Big Circle Gang has secretly hidden several firearms on a certain beach, intending to rob a gold shop at some point."
Damn it, it's white again.
However, white or not, all this intelligence was neatly categorized and organized in Lin Feng's mind.
That's how intelligence works; a single day might seem insignificant, or perhaps it doesn't refresh anything immediately useful.
But accumulated over time, it becomes a massive source of income.
Lin Feng's success was actually due to this accumulated intelligence.
No matter the era, possessing information is a huge asset.
Li Fu opened a bottle of Port wine.
The three of them drank casually.
Liang Kun had long since lost any trace of sadness; under his feet was a thick briefcase containing a full twenty million.
Who was Ba Bi?
Am I familiar with him?
Liang Kun was in an exceptionally good mood:
"Xiao Fu, how did you take out Ba Bi?"
Li Fu's answer almost made Liang Kun spit out the wine in his mouth:
"Take out Ba Bi?"
"I didn't take him out."
Liang Kun pointed to his box in horror:
"You didn't take him out, so how did this come about?"
Li Fu shrugged:
"I went to the address my boss provided, but I was late."
"Ba Bi was killed!"
Liang Kun was even more shocked:
"He was killed?"
Li Fu replied:
"Yes, he was killed."
"The ones who did it were from our Causeway Bay, a group called Chan Ho-Nam and his crew."
Thump!
Liang Kun suddenly stood up, his features contorted:
"Chan Ho-Nam?"
"Silly B?!"
Li Fu pretended not to notice,
"As soon as I saw Ba Bi was dead, I quickly went to his house and retrieved all his money and valuables."
Liang Kun hastily pressed:
"No one saw, right?"
Li Fu pointed to himself:
"It was very dark outside, and I was wearing all black. Who could see me?"
"Anyway, I didn't see anyone else."
Only then did Liang Kun relax, drinking glass after glass, as if it wasn't wine but water.
Li Fu asked curiously:
"Brother Feng, what's Brother Kun doing?"
Lin Feng said lazily:
"Xiao Fu, you wouldn't know, but Brother Kun is reminiscing about his sworn brother Ba Bi."
Liang Kun roared:
"I'm reminiscing about his grandma's leg!"
Who in the underworld didn't know that Liang Kun only shed tears for money and Lin Feng?
If Ba Bi's whole family died, he wouldn't even be sad.
Li Fu was very puzzled:
"Then what's wrong with Brother Kun?"
Lin Feng's face was full of smiles:
"You ask him."
Liang Kun composed himself, then suddenly lightly kicked Lin Feng:
"Do you know something?"
"Is that why you let Xiao Fu do it?"
Lin Feng pouted:
"I only know that Ba Bi has always been flaunting Brother Kun's banner outside."
"It's one thing if I didn't know."
"If I knew, how could I let him off?"
Liang Kun's expression became very serious,
"Tell me the truth."
Lin Feng snorted coldly:
"Did you tell me the truth?"
Liang Kun felt a moment of awkwardness, then realized something was wrong and immediately said:
"I'm your Big Brother!"
Lin Feng said unhurriedly:
"And I'm your Little Brother!"
The two were at an impasse for a moment.
Liang Kun reluctantly conceded first:
"Alright, I admit I did lend Ba Bi twenty million hong kong dollars..."
He suddenly reacted, pointing to the money box at his feet, his mouth wide open.
Lin Feng said directly:
"Yes, that's the twenty million hong kong dollars you lent to Ba Bi."
He picked up his wine glass and took a sip, then slowly said,
"I heard that Mr. Chiang called Silly B to Victoria Peak."
"He's preparing to let him do something."
Liang Kun's gaze turned cold:
"Targeting Ba Bi?"
Lin Feng retorted:
"Otherwise?"
Liang Kun involuntarily pulled out a cigarette, habitually trying to light it, but then realized his Zippo lighter was gone.
Li Fu, with great perception, lit it for him.
Liang Kun didn't have time to argue with Lin Feng, taking a deep drag. The stimulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons calmed him down.
"Is this aimed at me?"
Lin Feng said indifferently:
"Does Ba Bi have any conflict with Hung Hing?"
Liang Kun shook his head:
"No!"
Lin Feng clapped his hands:
"Then that's it, isn't it?"
"Ba Bi has no conflict with Hung Hing, otherwise you two wouldn't have become sworn brothers..."
Liang Kun quickly clarified,
"Sworn brothers, my foot. We just know each other purely for profit."
Lin Feng ignored him,
"Ba Bi has no conflict with Hung Hing, and the Twelve Hall Masters meeting didn't say anything about taking out Ba Bi."
"So Chan Ho-Nam taking out Ba Bi can only be a private job."
Liang Kun thought for a moment before saying:
"I have no grudge with Silly B!"
"And I with Mr. Chiang also..."
Liang Kun paced back and forth in the room,
"Is Mr. Chiang trying to deal with me?"
Lin Feng said speechlessly:
"What are you thinking?"
"The higher-ups are unhappy with your drug dealing; this is a warning to you."
Liang Kun paused slightly, then pretended to be unconcerned:
"Ba Bi and I aren't close, so how does killing Ba Bi affect me?"
Lin Feng chuckled.
Liang Kun was so provoked by his laughter that he became angry and picked up the box to leave.
He couldn't stay any longer!
As a Big Brother, being laughed at like that by his Little Brother, Liang Kun couldn't possibly stay.
Lin Feng quickly called Li Fu and had him escort Liang Kun back.
Liang Kun was a Big Brother after all; joking around among brothers was fine, but if something really happened, it wouldn't be good.
***
Chapter 10: Everything is in the Details
It was almost two o'clock when Li Fu returned.
"Brother Feng, Brother Kun has been sent back."
"I put him on the bed, locked the door from the inside, and then came back."
Lin Feng asked:
"Did you go see that house?"
Li Fu nodded slightly:
"I saw it. The inside was very clean, with only some simple furniture."
"Oh, and I found the thirty thousand yuan inside, as you instructed."
This was something Lin Feng had specifically instructed, and Li Fu took it very seriously.
"Where are the guns?" Lin Feng asked.
Li Fu pulled out a black carry bag, the kind that looked very cheap at first glance.
Then he started taking things out one by one.
Five Big Black Star pistols, an AK, several long-handled grenades, and finally, several boxes of bullets soaked in butter.
Li Fu was very surprised:
"Brother Feng, these things don't look like they're used by locals."
Lin Feng didn't hide it from him:
"Big Circle Gang's stuff."
"I got the information by chance."
Li Fu frowned deeply:
"These guys are not to be trifled with. They're not locals."
Those who mix in Triads and engage in illicit activities rarely do so in their Mainland.
Nothing more than a bad reputation.
Extreme criminals like these are even less likely to operate locally.
Instead, most of them operate in other places.
If someone in the Triads isn't a local, then they are usually very ruthless.
This is completely different from migrant workers.
Once they go to work in another place, their volatile temper has to be reined in, and they try every means to get along with people.
Lin Feng shook his head:
"No need to worry."
"The Big Circle Gang doesn't know who took these firearms."
"Put the guns away."
"Just in case."
Li Fu nodded slightly and neatly put the things away.
Lin Feng stood up and stretched:
"Today was truly a day full of gains. Time to sleep!"
Li Fu was speechless,
"Brother Feng, isn't it a bit too early to sleep at this hour?"
"Otherwise, shall we go play arcade games?"
Lin Feng shook his head:
"What's so fun about that?"
"If you want to go, you go."
Li Fu chuckled:
"I was just saying."
All this kid's thoughts were about making money and sending it back to his Old Mother in his Mainland to build a big house.
Lin Feng liked people like Li Fu.
Filial people are not necessarily good people, but people who understand filial piety naturally inspire goodwill.
Over this period, Li Fu had become his most important helper.
Let him be.
Lin Feng lay on the bed and began to read "The Interpretation of Dreams."
His predecessor had been with Liang Kun since he was seven, and didn't have much education—this wasn't an isolated case in the Triad; many people only had an elementary school education, grades three to five.
Lin Feng, in his previous life, was a senior executive at an organization, definitely at the level of a world-class university.
The way a semi-illiterate person and a highly educated intellectual conduct themselves is completely different.
To avoid revealing his flaws, Lin Feng tried to use a lot of profanity when speaking, but this wasn't a long-term solution. Out of necessity, he started buying and reading a large number of books.
The purpose was to gradually close the gap between his predecessor and his true self.
For a book like "The Interpretation of Dreams," even among the highly educated intellectuals in Hong Kong now, few would read it.
lowlifess in the Triads would certainly not read such a book.
If they bothered to check, they would know how niche this thing was.
Over time, it would naturally become commonplace, and then one day, Lin Feng could be himself again.
As Li Fu was leaving, he asked for instructions:
"Brother Feng, aren't we going to Youwei Group?"
Lin Feng shook his head:
"I'm the boss, not the one who does the actual work. Going occasionally is enough."
Li Fu didn't understand:
"But that's tens of millions in assets."
Lin Feng chuckled:
"Do they dare to embezzle my money?"
Li Fu scratched his head:
"But aren't you afraid they'll transfer the money?"
Lin Feng closed "The Interpretation of Dreams" and pointed to a chair. Li Fu sat down obediently, knowing that Brother Feng was imparting wisdom to him.
"Managing a company is actually simple."
"Just hand everything over to experts."
"However, you must maintain control over personnel and finances."
"Then introduce a third-party oversight body, and you'll have no problems even if you don't show up at the company for three months."
"Our goal is to make money; there's no need to be hands-on with everything."
He pointed to his head,
"We are all ordinary people. No one is omnipotent; that's for immortals."
"Since we are ordinary people, we should do what ordinary people do."
"Even someone as wise as Zhuge Liang, who was almost a demon, died from overwork by being too hands-on."
"My wisdom can't compare to Kongming's in the Three Kingdoms, so why should we do such thankless work?"
Li Fu frowned and thought seriously, but after a long time, he still didn't grasp the main point,
"That's such a large sum of money, I'm still worried."
Lin Feng was speechless:
"Worried about what? Didn't you get a lot of money tonight?"
Li Fu chuckled foolishly:
"Yeah, yeah, Boss, you gave me five million, and Brother Kun also gave me one million."
"I'll send it back to my Old Mother tomorrow."
Lin Feng was slightly startled:
"Brother Kun gave you one million?"
Li Fu said strangely:
"Brother Kun often gives me money. Haven't I reported it all to you?"
Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then advised Li Fu:
"Sending back a hundred thousand or so a month is enough."
"Any more, and you'll scare the old lady."
"You should deposit this money in the bank."
Li Fu smiled bitterly:
"Brother Feng, I also want to deposit it in the bank."
"But this was obtained from Ba Bi."
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said:
"That's right. Tomorrow I'll go find Brother Kun and figure out a way to launder the money, and then you can get a luxury house in Hong Kong."
"You have a big house in your Mainland, so you should have a big house here too."
Li Fu chuckled:
"Forget it. Hong Kong is an inch of gold. A thousand square feet is considered a luxury house, but in the countryside, people would laugh at that."
A house where three sides of the bed can't reach the floor, how can that be called a luxury house?
Lin Feng admitted Li Fu was right,
"The house may be small, but it's expensive."
"While property prices aren't too outrageous, buy it quickly."
"Whether it's Repulse Bay or Mid-Levels on Victoria Peak, buy those units if you can."
"If worst comes to worst, buy a plot of land and build several floors yourself."
"If the single-floor area isn't enough, then stack up the floors."
Li Fu was quite hesitant,
"Can this work?"
Lin Feng snorted coldly:
"Do this well, and you'll just wait for property prices to rise."
"In twenty years, a thousand-square-foot luxury house will cost at least ten million."
Li Fu's mouth dropped open, and he immediately said:
"I'll go buy it tomorrow!"
"Thank you, Brother Feng, for your guidance."
Li Fu went back, chuckling.
Lin Feng picked up "The Interpretation of Dreams" again and soon fell into a deep sleep, off to discuss philosophy with Freud.
He slept soundly, unaware that because of a few words he said, someone else stayed awake all night.
***
Chapter 11: Who exactly is this person?
Inside a conference room at the West Kowloon Police Station, Senior Inspector Lu Qichang of O' Division was reporting to two superior officers about the investigation into Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng, male, twenty years old."
"His public identity is the Chairman of Youwei Group."
"The group is a cutting-edge investment firm established the year before last, with operations spanning across Asia."
"He invests in many things; according to colleagues' investigations, most of his investments are in high-tech industries in the United States, but he also has investments in real industries."
"For example, he invested in a certain arcade company in Okamoto."
"For example, investments in VCDs in his Mainland, and so on."
"His current estimated net worth is approximately one hundred million hong kong dollars, making him one of Hong Kong's invisible tycoons."
"He is benevolent, donating a significant portion of his income to charitable organizations, such as our Police Force."
"His name has been among the top three social donors to the West Kowloon Police Station for the past three years."
"He also invests a large amount of money in charitable work in his Mainland; it is reported that Lin Feng is particularly enthusiastic about investing in education."
"His donations in his Mainland are more than ten times that of our Police Force donations."
Lu Qichang tapped the blackboard and added,
"However, this is just his public identity; his hidden identity is a top enforcer under Liang Kun, the Mong Kok Hall Master of Hung Hing."
"Within the Hung Society, he has been granted the identity of a Straw Sandal."
"Straw Sandals serve as external liaisons for various Triads, so his social connections are very complex, and he has ties with people from various Triads."
"Lin Feng is on good terms with Liang Kun, the Hall Master of Hung Hing Mong Kok, and is the only brother Liang Kun acknowledges."
"The two have a life-and-death friendship."
"According to colleagues' verification, the two have saved each other's lives multiple times and he is the person Liang Kun truly trusts."
"This person is Li Fu, from his Mainland. He was subdued by Lin Feng two and a half years ago and is his right-hand man."
"Li Fu is highly skilled; it is reported that he possesses combat capabilities comparable to Hung Hing's Prince."
"According to information from an undercover colleague, Ah Hu, the third of the Vietnamese Three Brothers, is no match for Li Fu."
Chan Yan-kin frowned and asked:
"So, does Lin Feng have any specific criminal record?"
Lu Qichang sighed:
"That's what we find strange."
"Although Lin Feng comes from Hung Hing and even holds the position of a Straw Sandal, he has no interest in participating in typical traditional illicit activities."
"Previously, he mostly served as Liang Kun's enforcer and bodyguard."
"His combat prowess is very high."
"Three years ago, when he was seventeen, Liang Kun decided to give him something to do, so Lin Feng established Youwei Group."
Chan Yan-kin quickly asked:
"Have our colleagues found anything suspicious in this company?"
Lu Qichang still shook his head:
"No."
"Usually, Triad members who run companies always try to evade taxes or exploit loopholes."
"However, Lin Feng never does such things."
"His company operates very strictly according to regulations; it is a completely legitimate company."
"Furthermore, to ensure his company fully complies with local regulations, Lin Feng hired Jiang Chengyu's law firm for legal services and also engaged a renowned Hong Kong auditing firm for self-inspection."
"Trying to investigate through this company is simply impossible."
"More importantly, Lin Feng doesn't even stay at the company every day."
"Lin Feng's daily routine is entirely that of a Young and Dangerous member; he never gets up before noon and usually only starts his activities after twelve."
Wong Bing-Yiu, the Commissioner of Kowloon Headquarters, and Chan Yan-kin, Superintendent of O' Division, both frowned simultaneously.
Chan Yan-kin thought for a moment and said:
"It is widely rumored in the underworld that Lin Feng is Liang Kun's half-brother, and Liang Kun never hides anything from him."
"Is it possible that Lin Feng is involved in Liang Kun's rumored drug trafficking?"
Lu Qichang said decisively:
"Impossible!"
Chan Yan-kin asked with interest:
"Why?"
Lu Qichang explained:
"My informant just received news that Lin Feng is one of Ngai Kun's illegitimate children."
"However, Ngai Kun never cared about his two illegitimate children, never even provided living expenses, leaving them to fend for themselves."
"Lin Feng harbors deep hatred for Ngai Kun; it's even said that upon hearing the news of Ngai Kun's death, he set off dozens of strings of firecrackers in front of Ngai Wing-hau to celebrate."
"He hates Ngai Kun, and by extension, he hates drug traffickers. He would not engage in drug trafficking."
"Liang Kun knows him very well; even if Liang Kun were truly trafficking drugs, he would not let Lin Feng know."
Chan Yan-kin immediately asked:
"Was the death of Tung Sing's Ba Bi done by Lin Feng?"
Lu Qichang shook his head:
"That matter is very clear; it wasn't done by Lin Feng, but by Sai B from Causeway Bay."
Chan Yan-kin rubbed his forehead, feeling a considerable headache:
"Then how did he know about our operations?"
Chan Yan-kin racked his brain but couldn't figure it out, so he couldn't help but ask Wong Bing-Yiu:
"Sir, is this Lin Feng really not an informant you placed out there years ago?"
Wong Bing-Yiu said speechlessly:
"If he were truly an informant I placed, would the three of us be having this meeting here?"
Lu Qichang was a bit anxious:
"Then how did Lin Feng know about Ah Kai?"
"Luo Ji was a bodyguard I had planted beside Ngai Wing-hau early on, and he's been there for five years."
"If Lin Feng isn't one of ours, I'll have to find a way to pull Ah Kai back; it's too dangerous."
Chan Yan-kin also said:
"This kid Lin Feng is a bit strange."
"My subordinate Wah Sang is currently on an undercover mission with the Vietnamese Three Brothers, and this guy actually knows about it."
"What's strange is that he even let Wah Sang off."
"This is completely unlike the behavior a Triad boss should exhibit."
Undercover agents, no matter who discovers them, are to be dealt with severely.
Whether it's the Police Force or a Triad, once an undercover agent is discovered, the most stringent actions are taken.
Lin Feng's behavior was outrageous; he discovered the undercover agent early on yet remained indifferent.
That's why Lu Qichang and Chan Yan-kin sought confirmation from their respective superiors.
They racked their brains but couldn't understand why.
They initially thought he was a major undercover agent placed by Wong Bing-Yiu, who would have thought he wasn't.
Wong Bing-Yiu folded his arms, frowning as he looked at Lin Feng's profile on the projector,
"Strange, truly damn strange."
"If Lin Feng's name were omitted, this file would in no way reflect the behavior of a Triad member."
Chan Yan-kin's heart stirred:
"Sir, how about I invite him over for a talk tomorrow?"
Wong Bing-Yiu waved his hand:
"Your rank isn't high enough."
Chan Yan-kin was almost choked:
"Sir, why isn't my rank high enough? Is an O' Division Superintendent so insignificant?"
Wong Bing-Yiu sighed:
"Lin Feng has no criminal record with our Police Force, and his public identity is the Chairman of Youwei Group."
"For three years, he has been a prominent figure ranking among the top three donors to the Police Station."
"You invite him over?"
"Can you even get him to come?"
"If you displease him, he could simply hire a barrister, and you can forget about being a police officer."
"If the superior officers at the Police Force knew we offended such a major benefactor, even I would be in trouble."
Chan Yan-kin gasped:
"Strange, truly strange!"
Wong Bing-Yiu thought for a moment:
"I'll send an official invitation tomorrow, citing gratitude for his donations."
"We need to get to the bottom of him."
"This matter is strictly limited to the two of you."
Lu Qichang frowned and asked:
"My partner can't know either?"
Wong Bing-Yiu confirmed:
"Apart from the three of us, no one else has the right to know about this matter."

Chapter 12: Why Does Chiang Tin-Sung Want People To Call Him Mr. Chiang?
"Ding…"
Lin Feng reached out from under the covers, fumbled for his phone, and directly rejected the call.
Absolutely insane.
What Young and Dangerous member wakes up before noon?
Doesn't he know I have morning grumpiness?
However, the phone was quite impolite, ringing again.
Lin Feng was extremely annoyed.
"You better have something important and urgent to call me about, otherwise, you're dead."
The person on the other end was startled, then bravely and weakly said,
"Chairman Lin, Director Huang Bingyao of West Kowloon Police Headquarters wants to invite you to dinner, as a thank you for our company's annual donations to the Police Force…"
Lin Feng became even more irritated.
"Is that all?"
"Is this kind of ridiculous nonsense urgent? Is it important?"
"Your bonus for this month is gone!"
He decisively hung up the phone, threw himself back onto the bed, and promptly went back to sleep.
A Young and Dangerous member being sought by the Police Force?
Bad luck!
Lin Feng slept very soundly.
He slept until he woke up naturally.
Lin Feng stretched, got up, and after washing, Li Fu had already arrived at his doorstep, bringing him breakfast.
Well, let's call it breakfast for now.
Li Fu reported the news to him:
"Brother Feng, the underworld is bustling now. The matter of Ba Bi's death is starting to ferment, and the Tung Sing people are discussing how to retaliate."
Lin Feng replied while eating his wonton noodles:
"That's normal."
"Although Ba Bi isn't one of the Five Tigers, he's still a Tung Sing hall master."
"If Tung Sing doesn't retaliate after he was killed so inexplicably, it would be a loss of face for the Triad."
After thinking for a moment, he said,
"You go with Brother Kun these two days."
Li Fu wasn't stupid and immediately understood Lin Feng's arrangement.
"Are you saying you're afraid the Tung Sing people might go after Brother Kun?"
Lin Feng finished eating and drinking, pulled out a Marlboro, and Li Fu quickly lit it for him.
"Those who mix in the Triad are uncultured. Taking out their anger on others is normal."
"Ba Bi's money was taken by us, and in the eyes of those with intentions, this matter is also related to Brother Kun."
"Drug dealers cannot be judged by normal standards; it's better to be cautious."
Li Fu immediately said:
"I'll go right away."
Lin Feng added:
"Having you go to Brother Kun's to protect him is one aspect. The other aspect is if Brother Kun tries to cause trouble for Sai B, stop him."
Li Fu frowned and said:
"No need, right?"
"Sai B's actions are clearly targeting Brother Kun. It's fine for Brother Kun to just throw a tantrum."
Lin Feng shook his head:
"You don't understand."
Li Fu quickly asked for guidance:
"Brother Feng, what's the trick here?"
Lin Feng simply explained:
"Sai B is just Mr. Chiang's dog. Sai B himself doesn't have the guts to challenge Brother Kun."
"Whether it's people or money, Sai B is at a disadvantage."
"In terms of relationships with the Hung Hing members, Sai B also can't compare to Brother Kun."
"Moreover, when the two first started out, Sai B even received help from Brother Kun."
"Logically, Sai B should never cause trouble for Brother Kun."
"Unless Chiang Tin-Sung gave Sai B a secret instruction."
Li Fu's expression changed:
"Chiang Tin-Sung wants to move against Brother Kun?"
Lin Feng shook his head:
"No, Mr. Chiang doesn't mean that."
Li Fu was truly confused.
Ba Bi was Liang Kun's sworn brother; this was no secret in the underworld.
If he wasn't trying to move against Liang Kun, why would Hung Hing, with nothing else to do, kill Ba Bi?
To cause trouble for themselves?
Lin Feng said meaningfully:
"If Brother Kun asks about this, you just ask Brother Kun, why does Chiang Tin-Sung want people to call him Mr. Chiang?"
Li Fu was full of question marks; what kind of strange question was that?
He couldn't figure it out!
Li Fu kept Lin Feng's words in mind, then went to report to Liang Kun.
Liang Kun's eyes were bloodshot, and the woman beside him quietly touched her lips; it was clear that Brother Kun had just extinguished his fire.
Li Fu smiled, stepped forward to greet him, and explained his purpose.
Liang Kun rolled his eyes forcefully:
"Ah Feng is good in every way, but he tends to treat me like a three-year-old."
"Am I really that reckless?"
Li Fu said happily:
"Brother Kun, it's great that you don't intend to cause trouble for Sai B."
Liang Kun snorted:
"Sai B is nothing. If I wanted to cause trouble for someone, I wouldn't pick him."
He forcefully patted the long leg of the woman beside him, the Mong Kok hall master's face filled with ruthlessness,
"I want to cause trouble for Mr. Chiang!"
Li Fu was startled:
"Brother Kun, you can't!"
"Brother Feng said that Mr. Chiang doesn't mean to target you."
Liang Kun rolled his eyes again:
"What is Sai B? I know him better than anyone. If he didn't have someone backing him, would he dare to provoke me even if he had three times the courage?"
Li Fu said with a wry smile:
"I only know that much."
"Fortunately, Brother Feng said that if you want to cause trouble for Chiang Tin-Sung, he asks you to think carefully about why Chiang Tin-Sung wants people to call him Mr. Chiang."
Liang Kun paused slightly:
"Is there a problem with that?"
Li Fu shrugged:
"I'm not the boss, how would I know his thoughts?"
"Whatever the boss instructs, us subordinates just do it."
Liang Kun pondered for a long time but couldn't think of an answer.
At first glance, was this even a question?
But upon closer inspection, hey, it really wasn't easy to answer.
Liang Kun thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, so he simply picked up his phone and dialed Lin Feng's number:
"Ah Feng, why does Chiang Tin-Sung want people to call him Mr. Chiang?"
Lin Feng said speechlessly:
"Are you really trying to cause trouble for Chiang Tin-Sung?"
Liang Kun never hid anything from him:
"I'm a Mong Kok hall master after all, and I've always followed Hung Hing's rules. If he, a Dragon Head, wants to mess with me for no reason, and I don't speak up, how will I survive in the underworld later?"
"Even if he's the Dragon Head, I have to fight for it."
Lin Feng said:
"You always tell me, when you're in the underworld, if you make a mistake, you admit it, and if you get beaten, you stand at attention."
"Chiang Tin-Sung having Sai B kill Ba Bi is a warning to you."
"Accept it."
Liang Kun frowned and said:
"I'm asking you the answer to that riddle, why are you talking about this?"
Lin Feng chuckled:
"You still won't admit it?"
"Didn't I just say, this is Mr. Chiang's punishment for you."
Liang Kun still couldn't understand.
Lin Feng simply revealed the answer:
"Alright, I won't keep you in suspense anymore, to save you from being suspicious."
"Chiang Tin-Sung wants people to call him Mr. Chiang, not because he wants to act refined."
"It's purely because he doesn't want people to know he's the Chairman Dragon Head of Hung Hing."
Liang Kun found it hilarious:
"Isn't this a joke? Not to mention the Police Force, even ordinary citizens know that our Hung Hing's Dragon Head is Chiang Tin-Sung."
"Can a mere title make people forget his origins?"
Liang Kun laughed so hard that tears started to well up!
Lin Feng sighed:
"Brother Kun, why did you suddenly become so foolish?"
"Don't you understand yet?"
"Mr. Chiang wants to go legitimate!"
Whoosh!
Liang Kun suddenly stood up, his breathing becoming somewhat rapid:
"…Ah Feng, is what you said true?"
"Mr. Chiang wants to go legitimate?"
Lin Feng was exceptionally speechless; just now he called him Chiang Tin-Sung, and now he's calling him Mr. Chiang:
"Is there any other explanation? He wants people to call him Mr. Chiang, he had Sai B kill Ba Bi, it all means the same thing: he wants to go legitimate."
"He cannot allow anyone to block his path to going legitimate."
"No matter who stands in his way, he will eliminate them."
"As long as Hung Hing has no issues, Mr. Chiang's path to going legitimate will be very smooth."
Liang Kun's breathing became even more rapid.
"Brother Kun, do you want to be the Dragon Head of Hung Hing?"
