Chapter 49: Striking Like a Ghost's Bane
Lin Feng unhurriedly brewed Gongfu tea.
"Senior Inspector Yuen, you're a Senior Inspector in the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, and a renowned Hot-shot Detective."
"Can't you be a little more composed?"
Yuen Ho-Wan said earnestly:
"Mr. Lin, you are the biggest patron of the West Kowloon Police Headquarters and an invisible tycoon in Hong Kong. You don't need to go down the path of crime."
"I know you hate The Ni Family very much."
"But to sacrifice yourself for The Ni Family, isn't that too unworthy?"
Lin Feng rolled his eyes:
"Who told you I was going to use illegal means to deal with The Ni Family?"
Yuen Ho-Wan was stunned:
"If you're not using illegal means and bypassing the Police Force, I really don't believe you can deal with The Ni Family."
Lin Feng looked at him mockingly:
"There are many ways to deal with The Ni Family."
"Can't it be done outside of the Police Force?"
"Have you ever heard of a bounty?"
Yuen Ho-Wan was immediately taken aback.
Bounties were something done by both the underworld and the legitimate world. As the saying goes, 'heavy rewards attract brave men,' and the effect was outstanding.
"But this will cause social unrest."
Lin Feng completely ignored Yuen Ho-Wan, still concentrating on his tea set:
"Does the existence of The Ni Family not cause social unrest?"
"Those drug dealers are black from the inside out; such people should have died ten thousand times over."
"To be honest, I somewhat regret leaking the information to you police."
"In my opinion, these people deserve to be shot ten times over."
Yuen Ho-Wan swallowed hard. He agreed with Lin Feng's words. But Hong Kong's law had abolished the death penalty.
"I still have a good impression of the Police Force; otherwise, I wouldn't have donated to the Police Force for so many consecutive years."
"Triad or Police Force, both are maintainers of order."
"In game terms, the Police Force is Lawful Good, and Triad is Chaotic Lawful."
"Otherwise, Hong Kong would have fallen into chaos long ago."
The Senior Inspector of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau thought about it carefully and realized it was true, but he wouldn't admit it. Even if it was the truth, it couldn't be admitted.
"I told you police the evidence because I hoped you could crush the darkness with thunder and send those people to prison as quickly as possible."
"You, you disappointed me."
"I need to seriously consider my future cooperation with you."
Cold sweat involuntarily broke out on Yuen Ho-Wan's face, and he apologized for the first time,
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin."
The Hot-shot Detective didn't want to apologize either. However, he deeply understood what kind of power this seemingly refined man possessed. Police Force informants were always single-line contacts and basically top secret. Lin Feng actually knew. And not just one or two. Luo Ji, who was undercover with Ngai Wing-hau; Kong Long, who was undercover with Uncle Hai; and the colleague who was mistakenly killed while undercover with the Big Circle Gang... Not only that, he even knew about Hon Sam's undercover agent in the Police Force. What a terrifying power this was. Senior police officers, after careful reasoning, concluded that this refined young man had a huge intelligence network behind him. It contained all sorts of secrets. They could only befriend him, not offend him. Once Lin Feng spread the news of the Police Force's undercover agents, the consequences... Lin Feng said faintly:
"You can go back and tell Inspector Huang and Inspector Chen of the Police Force."
"I am not satisfied with your work and have decided to eradicate The Ni Family my way."
Yuen Ho-Wan's sweat was pouring down:
"Mr. Lin, please think twice."
Lin Feng chuckled:
"Fine, I'll tell you my plan first."
"You can review it and see if it's feasible."
"You police operate by evidence, and I understand that."
"However, Triad doesn't need evidence."
"First, I will tell Ngai Wing-hau the truth about Ngai Kun's death."
"There are many ways to convey this."
"For example, Luo Ji."
"For example, the private detective hired by Ngai Wing-hau."
"These are all very simple things to convey."
"What do you think Ngai Wing-hau will do?"
Yuen Ho-Wan had to answer seriously:
"He has two choices: either do nothing, or kill these people directly."
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"Yes, that's exactly right."
"But I won't just focus on Ngai Wing-hau."
"I have a lot of things to do."
"I will let Gandhi know that he's being cuckolded and his warehouse is empty."
Yuen Ho-Wan was greatly alarmed:
"You want to cause internal strife for Gandhi?"
Lin Feng looked at him, puzzled:
"Why not?"
"Isn't this a very normal thing?"
"I told you, I hate drug dealers."
"These guys deserve to die, is there a problem?"
Yuen Ho-Wan waved his hands repeatedly:
"No problem."
Lin Feng continued:
"I also need to go to Wong Chuk Hang, find Lau Kin-ming, Lin Guodong, and others, and say one thing to them,"
"'A single general's success is built on ten thousand bones.' The path is given to you; you choose it yourselves."
Yuen Ho-Wan asked, puzzled:
"Telling these people is useless, isn't it?"
Lin Feng sneered:
"Useless?"
"Have you heard of 'beating the grass to startle the snake'?"
"A bunch of half-grown kids, after hearing about this, can they still train peacefully?"
Yuen Ho-Wan gasped.
Lin Feng couldn't stand Yuen Ho-Wan's expression:
"Do you think that's all?"
Yuen Ho-Wan asked in surprise:
"There's more?"
Lin Feng nodded:
"Of course!"
"If one side holds back, The Ni Family won't fall into chaos, and that's not what I want."
"I will tell Hon Sam and Mary the details of the incident separately."
Yuen Ho-Wan was too exhausted to be surprised; he just asked curiously:
"Why do you want to do this?"
Lin Feng said indifferently:
"A secret is only a secret when only one or two people know it."
"If everyone else knows, what kind of secret is that?"
"Huang Zhicheng and Mary are so calm because they think others don't know about this."
"If everyone else knew, do you think they could still be so calm?"
Yuen Ho-Wan said with difficulty:
"The Ni Family will be in chaos, a complete mess."
"Everyone, from top to bottom, will start fighting."
Yuen Ho-Wan said hoarsely:
"But this way, the people of Tsim Sha Tsui will suffer."
"These drug dealers don't care about killing people."
Lin Feng glared at him:
"Is your Police Force just a decoration?"
"Isn't the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau there to deal with such situations?"
Yuen Ho-Wan was speechless, but he still wanted to make one last effort:
"Mr. Lin, please give us a chance; we will find the evidence."
Lin Feng leisurely poured him a cup of tea.
"Let me give you a piece of information for free."
Yuen Ho-Wan dared not be negligent:
"Mr. Lin, please speak."
Lin Feng said expressionlessly:
"Ngai Wing-hau has fully inherited Ngai Kun's defensive measures."
"On the surface, The Ni Family doesn't touch drugs at all."
"As you know, if it weren't for an internal traitor in The Ni Family, Ngai Kun wouldn't have died."
"Ngai Wing-hau went a step further, wanting to cloak The Ni Family in the guise of a politician..."
Lin Feng stared at Yuen Ho-Wan,
"I don't have time to play games with you."
***
Chapter 50: The Police Force's Troubled State
West Kowloon Police Headquarters, Director's Office.
It was 11:30 PM, and the lights were still brightly lit.
Several key figures from the Police Station had arrived.
Yuen Ho-Wan recounted his visit to Lin Feng in full detail, without any omissions.
As Wong Bing-Yiu listened, he felt an itch all over and quickly took out his 'love gun' to scratch.
Chan Yan-kin's face was solemn:
"Mr. Lin isn't even giving us a little time?"
Yuen Ho-Wan sighed:
"I tried my best to negotiate. Mr. Lin said that if this case isn't concluded and The Ni Family completely eradicated soon, he will proceed in his own way."
Chan Yan-kin gave a bitter smile:
"Solving a case takes time, and insufficient evidence won't hold up in court."
"Any lawyer could get The Ni Family members acquitted."
"That would only alert the enemy."
Yuen Ho-Wan complained:
"I told Mr. Lin, but he wouldn't listen!"
Lu Qichang frowned:
"Mr. Lin's thinking is understandable."
"To him, since he has already grasped the entire chain of facts, he naturally believes that this is enough to bring down The Ni Family."
"The problem is, legally, having only factual details isn't enough; there must also be a complete chain of evidence to support it."
"Mr. Lin is not, after all, a member of the Police Force."
Wong Bing-Yiu scoffed:
"Do you think Lin Feng doesn't know that?"
"He's putting pressure on us."
Chan Yan-kin sighed,
"The problem is, even if we know, what can we do?"
"The case-handling procedures are there!"
"All of this takes time."
Yuen Ho-Wan said expressionlessly:
"Mr. Lin wants to close the case as quickly as possible."
Chan Yan-kin cursed:
"Damn it, this guy is as bad as some of the officers in the Police Force; they only care about results and ignore reality."
Yuen Ho-Wan couldn't help but nudge his superior. Chan Yan-kin looked up to see Wong Bing-Yiu staring intently at him.
Superintendent Chen gave a dry laugh:
"Big Sir, I wasn't talking about you."
Wong Bing-Yiu ignored him and emphasized:
"Your feeling is not wrong."
"Just consider this a task assigned by the officers of the Police Force."
"Mr. Lin is not as simple as you think; he is a very important person."
Lu Qichang asked in confusion:
"Mr. Lin is a very important person?"
Wong Bing-Yiu said, scratching with his 'love gun':
"Of course he is a very important person. On the surface, he is a famous tycoon in Hong Kong. If he has an issue, one phone call can get a line of barristers to serve him."
"Do you want to deal with someone like that?"
The three shook their heads in unison.
"Underneath, this guy controls a vast intelligence network."
"We still don't know how our top-secret intelligence was leaked."
"I also firmly believe that neither Superintendent Chen nor Superintendent Lu would intentionally leak our police officer information."
"From this, you can see how formidable this guy is."
"So, tell me, is this guy a very important person?"
The three affirmed in unison.
Chan Yan-kin frowned:
"The problem is, even with pressure from a very important person, it's impossible for us to solve this case in a short time."
Yuen Ho-Wan and Lu Qichang exchanged glances. The two senior O-Team inspectors said something fair:
"In the past, when there was pressure from a very important person, Big Sir would be at the forefront to handle it, and we frontline police officers would work hard to solve the case."
"However, solving a case really requires a bit of luck and enough room to operate."
"Now, there is clearly not enough room."
The office fell silent for a moment.
The silence was deafening.
Finally, Wong Bing-Yiu broke the silence:
"Mr. Lin is not only our biggest benefactor, but the help he gives us is also substantial."
"Not to mention anything else, just by exposing Huang Zhicheng and Lau Kin-ming, he eliminated two huge hidden dangers for us."
"From my heart, I strongly agree with Mr. Lin's idea."
"The Ni Family cannot be allowed to remain."
"If Ngai Wing-hau truly manages to cloak himself in the legitimate guise of a politician, then it will be practically impossible for us to move against him again."
"I know this is a difficult matter, but no matter how difficult, don't forget, we are the police!"
Chan Yan-kin, Yuen Ho-Wan, and Lu Qichang stood at attention in unison and loudly said:
"Yes, Sir!"
Wong Bing-Yiu waved his hand:
"Now is the time for brainstorming. Sometimes, your thinking shouldn't be so restrictive; you can be a bit more flexible."
The three looked at each other. More flexible? How to be flexible?
Lu Qichang suddenly said:
"I think Mr. Lin's method can be adapted."
Wong Bing-Yiu's eyes lit up:
"How can it be adapted?"
Lu Qichang organized his thoughts and said:
"Actually, the chain of facts is already clear; the only thing unclear is the evidence."
"But we can alert the enemy."
"We don't have evidence, so let these criminals help us find the evidence."
Wong Bing-Yiu's eyes grew brighter and brighter:
"Hurry up and elaborate."
Lu Qichang's thinking became clearer,
"Gentlemen, think about how many secrets are in this case."
"One is the secret of Ngai Kun's assassination."
"The other is the secret of Guo Liang and Blackie."
"Within each secret, there are several hidden informants who are afraid of being discovered, and several decipherers."
"In the Ngai Kun death case, Ngai Wing-hau and Hon Sam are the decipherers, while Huang Zhicheng, Mary, and Lau Kin-ming are the hidden ones."
"And when Ngai Wing-hau subdued the four gang leaders, Guo Liang and Blackie were the informants, and Gandhi was the decipherer."
"The two are extremely antagonistic and full of hatred."
"If Gandhi were to find out what Guo Liang and Blackie did, then the latter two would certainly die a gruesome death."
"Similarly, if Ngai Wing-hau were to find out the reason for Ngai Kun's death, he would certainly not spare the three, nor even Hon Sam."
"These are fundamental, irreconcilable contradictions."
Wong Bing-Yiu only asked:
"What should we do?"
Lu Qichang was already confident:
"Find their breakthrough points."
"Let them become our tainted witnesses, and the evidence will naturally appear."
Wong Bing-Yiu, Chan Yan-kin, and Yuen Ho-Wan's eyes all lit up.
Lu Qichang was bursting with inspiration,
"Didn't Mr. Lin say that Mary is a woman who would sacrifice herself for Hon Sam, and she would do anything for Hon Sam?"
"We can use this as a breakthrough to get Mary to become a tainted witness."
"Similarly, we can turn Hon Sam by telling him about Huang Zhicheng's scheme to use him behind his back."
"And Lau Kin-ming, didn't he kill Ngai Kun execution-style because he admired Mary? The breakthrough point has been found."
"Furthermore, regarding the four gang leaders, we can directly find Guo Liang and Blackie."
"With Gandhi's great threat looming, it would be impossible for them not to comply."
Wong Bing-Yiu, Chan Yan-kin, and Yuen Ho-Wan clapped in unison:
"Brilliant!"
Wong Bing-Yiu excitedly said:
"This case will be handled according to Superintendent Lu's approach."
"I'll give Mr. Lin a call."
Wong Bing-Yiu promptly dialed Lin Feng's number,
"Hello Mr. Lin, this is Wong Bing-Yiu. I'm telling you, we have a lead on solving the case… What, put it on speakerphone?"
Wong Bing-Yiu, puzzled, put it on speakerphone, and Lin Feng's voice came through from the other end,
"I've already made the approach so clear to you. If you still can't figure out how to fish, then you might as well stop being police officers!"

Chapter 51: A Sudden Turn of Events
Ding, daily intelligence update.
Politics (Purple): George, a major from the Military Intelligence Agency of Eagle Country, has arrived in Hong Kong to serve as the head of the Political Department.
Economy (White): Chen Taotao, Vice President of Wanguo Bank's Investment Department, has arrived in Hong Kong to investigate the department's main business.
Crime (Blue): Cheuk Tze-keung is casing a Tycoon's family, possibly planning a kidnapping.
Oh?
Today's intelligence is quite interesting.
Lin Feng immediately categorized it.
Purple intelligence is extremely important and rare.
George, head of the Political Department?
Is this Europe, the troublemaker, coming to Hong Kong to plant a bomb, or for some other activity?
A murderous glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes.
He'd better not pull any of those messy stunts, or he won't be spared.
Chen Taotao, Vice President of Wanguo Bank's Investment Department?
That Chen Taotao who loves to eat crabs?
He's quite a talent; I can make a note of him.
Cheuk Tze-keung?
If he remembered correctly, didn't this guy eventually extort 1.04 billion from the Tycoon?
Note it down!
Note it all down!
Today's haul isn't bad.
Lin Feng stretched, then went back to reading.
However, he hadn't been reading for long when the phone suddenly rang.
Lin Feng picked up the phone without even looking.
"Hello?"
Chiang Tin-Sung's voice came from the other end of the line:
"Ah Feng, hurry to Causeway Bay."
"Sai B's whole family has been killed!"
Lin Feng was utterly confused:
"What?"
"Sai B is dead?"
Chiang Tin-Sung said with a wry smile:
"Just hurry here."
Lin Feng immediately said:
"Alright, I understand."
"I'll be there right away."
He hung up and called Li Fu:
"Xiao Fu, bring Tin Hung to pick me up. We're going to Causeway Bay for something."
Ten minutes later, Li Fu drove up downstairs.
"Brother Feng, where are we going?"
Lin Feng instructed:
"To Causeway Bay. Sai B's whole family was hacked to death."
Li Fu was shocked and blurted out:
"That fast?"
Without hesitation, he drove off.
Lok Tin-hung was also surprised.
"Boss, didn't you just mention this last night?"
"You said Yiu Yeung of Tung Sing and Fatty Lai conspired to kill Sai B's whole family and frame Brother Kun?"
"That was too fast."
Lin Feng shook his head:
"I don't know the specifics. We'll talk when we get there."
So, they drove in silence. When Lin Feng arrived, he saw a row of luxury cars.
Chiang Tin-Sung waved:
"Ah Feng, come over."
Lin Feng glanced around and saw Liang Kun, Prince, the Hon Ban brothers, Baji, Sister Thirteen, and others. Besides them, a group of top brass like Do Chai King, Greyhound, Dai Fei, and others were also present.
"What's the situation, everyone?"
Chiang Tin-Sung pointed to the large pit in front:
"Take a look. Sai B is lying there."
Lin Feng stepped forward and saw a large, freshly dug pit. Sai B's entire family, including the children, were covered in dirt and no longer breathing.
"How vicious."
"This is cutting off the roots."
Lin Feng made a swift judgment.
Chiang Tin-Sung asked:
"Ah Feng, how about you investigate this matter?"
Before Lin Feng could speak, a person suddenly appeared, knelt before Mr. Chiang, and said mournfully:
"Mr. Chiang, this matter cannot be handed over to the Mong Kok people to investigate. Everyone in the jianghu knows that Mong Kok and Causeway Bay are at odds. It might even be them who did it."
At these words, everyone was in an uproar.
Liang Kun was furious. He stepped forward, about to explode, but Lin Feng stopped him:
"Brother Kun, Mr. Chiang hasn't spoken yet. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Liang Kun glared fiercely at the guy, but he actually listened to Lin Feng's advice and remained silent.
Chiang Tin-Sung narrowed his eyes and asked:
"What evidence do you have?"
The man said mournfully:
"What evidence is needed? That's what everyone in the jianghu is saying."
Lin Feng couldn't stand it anymore. He said to Mr. Chiang,
"Mr. Chiang, may I ask him a few questions?"
Chiang Tin-Sung immediately said:
"Go ahead."
The man grew even more enraged, his handsome face flushed crimson.
Lin Feng said mockingly:
"Everyone in the jianghu is saying that?"
"I just received Mr. Chiang's call saying Sai B was dead and to come over."
"In just these twenty minutes, the jianghu has spread the word that Mong Kok and Causeway Bay are at odds?"
"Who are you?"
The man stiffened his neck and said:
"I am Chan Ho-Nam."
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"So you are Sai B's godson, Chan Ho-Nam?"
Chan Ho-Nam shouted:
"I am not Brother B's godson."
Lin Feng shook his head:
"You're not? You look like you are to me."
"Back then, you and Dai Tau drew lots of life and death."
"It was clearly stated."
"Whoever drew it would take the fall, and when they came out, they'd be the boss."
"You didn't draw it, did you?"
"You didn't go to jail, did you?"
"And you're the boss, aren't you?"
Chan Ho-Nam was speechless.
This was a public case; the fact was that all the unlucky things were done by Dai Tau, and all the benefits went to Chan Ho-Nam.
Lin Feng continued:
"A mere 'Four Nine,' not even a top brass."
"There's a row of bosses in front of you, and you immediately start accusing people."
"Your intentions are sinister!"
Chiang Tin-Sung's eyes had narrowed, and the Twelve Hall Masters watching all looked at Chan Ho-Nam with impatience.
If Chan Ho-Nam had come up wanting to take on this task without involving others, everyone would have given it to him out of respect for Sai B.
But this guy started implicating people without any evidence, which was truly annoying.
Lin Feng continued:
"Causeway Bay has arcades, right?"
Chan Ho-Nam remained silent.
Lin Feng nudged him with his foot,
"Does Causeway Bay have arcades?"
Chan Ho-Nam's eyes were full of humiliation:
"Yes!"
Lin Feng said mockingly:
"You know how profitable arcades are, don't you?"
Chan Ho-Nam nodded fiercely, but then said:
"Why are you saying this? It has nothing to do with today's matter."
Lin Feng said playfully:
"Then do you know that only our Hung Hing has arcade machines throughout Hong Kong?"
Chan Ho-Nam gritted his teeth and said:
"I know."
Lin Feng said mockingly:
"Then do you know who specifically controls the arcade machine channels within Hung Hing?"
Chan Ho-Nam said impatiently:
"I don't know who it is. It can't be you, can it?"
Lin Feng's expression changed, and he sneered:
"You guessed right!"
"It's me!"
Chan Ho-Nam's expression changed dramatically.
The top brass were in an uproar.
Lin Feng said coldly:
"To reduce competition and prevent leaks."
"Mr. Chiang issued a gag order at the Twelve Hall Masters' secret meeting. Aside from the Dragon Head and the Twelve Hall Masters, not even the top brass know the source of the arcade machines."
He stepped forward and slapped Chan Ho-Nam's face with his hand,
"Laang Zai, you should know how profitable arcade machines are."
"Three to five arcade machines can easily earn over a hundred thousand a month."
"You have thirty in Causeway Bay."
"If our two halls weren't on good terms, would Brother Kun let me give you thirty arcade machines?"
Lin Feng kicked Chan Ho-Nam aside.
"How could Sai B raise such a thing as you? You believe every rumor, not thinking things through at all."
"This is only because you're in Hung Hing. If you were in Wo Luen Shing, you'd have been played to death long ago!"
***
Chapter 52: Humiliation, Utter Humiliation
Chiang Tin-Sung glared at Chan Ho-Nam, shaking his head inwardly. This guy is too green, not fit for important tasks.
Earlier, Sai B brought Chan Ho-Nam to see him, saying he wanted to take out Ba Bi.
He had thought Sai B had a successor, but who would have expected... Ignoring Chan Ho-Nam, Chiang Tin-Sung said,
"Ah Feng, Sai B is our Causeway Bay branch master. He has met with an unfortunate accident, and we must investigate thoroughly."
"No one can casually harm our Hung Hing members without paying a price."
"However, all the branch masters are busy and can't spare the time."
"After much discussion, we decided to ask you to handle it."
Lin Feng looked at Liang Kun in disbelief, who blushed slightly and carefully defended himself:
"I have a mountain of things to do here, and everyone else is also tied up."
"Only you..."
"Ah Feng, this is doing something for Grandfather. Just take it on."
The Triad bosses looked at the two in surprise.
Rumors in the underworld claimed that the Mong Kok branch brothers were united and invincible.
Now it seems, that is indeed the case.
Liang Kun had to 'beg' Lin Feng to do things.
Everyone knew the methods of the Mong Kok branch master; they were incredibly clever.
It seemed Lin Feng's methods were even more outrageous.
The bosses had no evidence to prove their guesses, but those in the underworld don't need evidence.
They're all in the Triad, who still talks about evidence?
"I believe" is the evidence.
Lin Feng said helplessly:
"I still want to study and practice martial arts, but now I'm stuck with this."
Liang Kun was overjoyed and quickly said to Mr. Chiang:
"Mr. Chiang, Ah Feng has agreed."
Chiang Tin-Sung said happily:
"Then this matter is left to Ah Feng to investigate."
Everyone was delighted.
Sai B's death was clearly a very troublesome matter.
It wasn't difficult to find out the truth, but the trivialities were the hard part.
Troublesome.
Extremely troublesome.
That Liang Kun could persuade Lin Feng to take on this matter was truly a cause for universal joy.
Chan Ho-Nam suddenly knelt before Mr. Chiang again, whose face was etched with frost:
"What do you want to do?"
Chan Ho-Nam loudly declared:
"Mr. Chiang, please seek justice for Brother B."
"I was just intimidated by Lin Feng."
"Arcade halls are a channel controlled by the Triad, how can they be privately controlled?"
"Mong Kok giving us Causeway Bay arcade halls was also because of the Triad's orders."
"This doesn't mean that Mong Kok and Causeway Bay have a good relationship."
Chiang Tin-Sung was nearly driven mad with anger!
Lin Feng looked at Chan Ho-Nam with disdain:
"Punk, please look up and see the expressions on our branch masters' faces."
Chan Ho-Nam looked up, puzzled, and suddenly felt something was wrong. He clearly saw that the faces of the branch masters and bigwigs were filled with mockery and disgust.
What, what exactly is going on?
Lin Feng crouched down in front of Chan Ho-Nam and introduced him:
"You are just a small Four Nine, it's normal that you don't understand the situation of Hung Hing's high-ranking members."
"Who the hell told you that our Mong Kok and Causeway Bay are at odds?"
"Half of the knife scars on Brother Kun's body were all taken for Sai B."
"These are life-and-death brothers."
"You didn't know that, did you?"
Chan Ho-Nam's face was filled with bewilderment, and even more, he was questioning life itself. Impossible, right?
Liang Kun spat fiercely and shouted:
"Sai B, is this how you usually educate your subordinates? I took those knives for you in vain."
Ba Ji quickly said:
"Ah Kun, the dead are to be respected. Say less."
Chan Ho-Nam was thunderstruck. This was not consistent with what he knew.
Brother Kei explained:
"Ah Kun and Sai B joined Hung Hing one after another. They were similar in age and quickly became good friends."
"They both rose through the ranks in the Triad, and often watched out for each other."
"It's just that in recent years, they both became branch masters, and they went out to fight less."
"But if you talk about their brotherhood, it's quite deep."
Chan Ho-Nam couldn't believe it at all, yet these words came from the elder Brother Kei, so he had to believe them.
Brother Kei, seeing Chan Ho-Nam's pitiful appearance, was always willing to support the younger generation in the Triad, so he explained it clearly to the latter:
"In our Hung Hing, there is only one branch that is at odds with Mong Kok."
"That is Fatty Lai from North Point."
"Among Hung Hing's twelve branches plus the headquarters, North Point is the only one without arcade halls."
"Arcade halls are not a channel controlled by Hung Hing, but by Mong Kok."
"If you are at odds with Mong Kok, wanting such a big money-making weapon is impossible."
"Laang Zai, don't let hatred blind you and believe everything you hear."
Lin Feng then gently fanned Chan Ho-Nam's face:
"Sai B has really regressed. Dai Tau is clearly more capable than you, but he isn't getting the recognition he deserves."
"You've recently gained some fame, by taking out Ba Bi of Tung Sing, right?"
Chan Ho-Nam's eyes were full of humiliation, and he said unwillingly:
"I was doing something for Grandfather."
Lin Feng ignored him, still fanning and fanning,
"You led that operation, but it was full of mistakes and omissions."
"If Chicken hadn't arrived late and happened to block the escaping Ba Bi, can you imagine the consequences?"
Chan Ho-Nam exclaimed:
"How did you know?"
Lin Feng became even more mocking.
Chiang Tin-Sung sighed inwardly. How did Lin Feng know?
It was obvious that Lin Feng had sent people there at the time.
Liang Kun, after getting the news, even ran to him to complain, saying something about killing Ba Bi and also involving Causeway Bay's people.
If someone had deliberately caused trouble, they could have just secretly informed Ba Bi, or directly stopped Chicken, wouldn't that have done it?
Unfortunately, Chan Ho-Nam was completely useless and didn't even understand such things.
But, it was understandable.
A newly emerging gangster, who thinks he can rise to power by killing people and then dominate the underworld, having ambitions as high as the sky is normal.
Chiang Tin-Sung shook his head.
He had no intention of stopping Lin Feng.
As the Dragon Head of Hung Hing, having been a boss for decades, he had long understood Lin Feng's plan: this was to completely destroy Chan Ho-Nam.
Chiang Tin-Sung understood this approach.
Chan Ho-Nam exuded an inexplicable hostility towards Mong Kok, so obvious that if any of the branch masters were in Liang Kun's position, they would also cripple Chan Ho-Nam.
Chiang Tin-Sung didn't care what Lin Feng did to Chan Ho-Nam; he envied Liang Kun for having such a good brother.
Thinking about the people he could use, he suddenly realized he seemed to have no one around him.
With Sai B gone, he was suddenly in a difficult situation.
Chiang Tin-Sung looked up at Chan Ho-Nam. What about this person?
He cast that thought aside.
Too green!
Lin Feng gently patted Chan Ho-Nam's face, one pat after another, crushing the latter's self-esteem to pieces on the ground:
"Punk, besides a handsome face, what else do you have?"
"In the underworld, this is the most worthless thing."
"Men are never judged by their looks, but by whether they can get things done."
"What were you doing when Sai B died?"
"What were you subordinates doing?"
"Upon hearing of Sai B's death, none of you wanted to investigate, instead causing trouble for Grandfather with some nonsensical information."
"Sai B really raised a good godson."
