Chapter 57: The Origin of Lavish Spending
Liang Kun instantly understood:
"Are you eyeing the Causeway Bay position?"
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"Brother Kun, you taught me, when you're out here, making money comes first."
"I've put in so much effort for the Triad, spent so much money, isn't it all for this moment?"
"As long as we find the guy who killed Sai B, who can compete with me for the Causeway Bay position?"
"Sai B was a complete waste, guarding the Causeway Bay position and not even making decent money, it's simply disgraceful."
"If it were in my hands, tens of millions in annual income would be easy."
Liang Kun was puzzled:
"Don't you dislike stepping forward to do things?"
Lin Feng smiled slightly:
"I never said I would personally come out to do things."
Liang Kun paused, then lightly patted his forehead:
"You want Xiao Fu to manage things?"
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"Xiao Fu has been with me for a long time, and he's been tempered. He's bold and meticulous. Is it a problem if I let him be a hall master of Causeway Bay?"
Liang Kun chuckled:
"Of course, there's no problem."
"With you throwing out twenty-five million, not only will few people in the underworld dare to provoke you, but how many in Hung Hing can even contend with you?"
"But if you send Xiao Fu out, who will work by your side?"
Lin Feng pointed to Lok Tin-hung, who was in the middle of beating Mo Chiu-Nam:
"Isn't he still here?"
Liang Kun was convinced:
"Your skill at recruiting subordinates is truly amazing."
"Every one you recruit is utterly loyal."
Lin Feng shook his head:
"Tin Hung isn't like that. He always wants to be the strongest in the world and is constantly preparing to challenge me."
Liang Kun rolled his eyes forcefully:
"Until he can overthrow you, Tin Hung will always be the most loyal subordinate."
Lin Feng burst into laughter.
That's right, as long as he remained strong, Lok Tin-hung would always be his most loyal subordinate.
A martial arts fanatic like Lok Tin-hung had an extremely simple mind.
Challenge the boss, make progress, become the strongest in the world.
That was almost his entire pursuit.
And to be able to stay by Lin Feng's side, he would naturally do his best to help Lin Feng with anything.
Liang Kun still felt pained:
"Spending twenty-five million for a Causeway Bay position, it's too much of a loss."
Liang Kun's principle was money first.
Besides his mother and Lin Feng, there was no third person in this world he truly cared about.
He naturally measured problems with money.
Lin Feng smiled:
"No loss."
Liang Kun frowned slightly:
"I always feel like you've gotten some incredible news."
Lin Feng laughed:
"Remember the day Ba Bi died, you went to apologize to Mr. Chiang?"
Liang Kun gritted his teeth:
"He extorted fifteen million from me."
Lin Feng whispered:
"I know what Mr. Chiang wants that money for."
Liang Kun's spirits lifted:
"For what?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"There's a casino in Macau with several diamond-level gambling halls up for grabs."
"Mr. Chiang went to bid for them."
Liang Kun's eyes lit up:
"Gambling halls!"
"That's a huge business with massive profits."
Lin Feng leisurely said:
"And according to my speculation, this gambling hall was originally intended to be managed by Laang Zai Nam."
Liang Kun was startled:
"Give it to him?"
Lin Feng analyzed: "Sai B followed Chiang Tin-Sung's orders to kill Ba Bi. No matter how bizarre the process, the result was that Chan Ho-Nam succeeded."
"According to our Hung Hing rules, Chan Ho-Nam should be promoted."
"A promotion requires his own business."
"Sai B was Chiang Tin-Sung's confidant, so Chiang Tin-Sung shouldn't have delayed such a matter."
"Yet Chan Ho-Nam is still just a small-time member, not yet promoted to a Big Boss, which completely goes against Mr. Chiang's character."
"Isn't that obvious?"
"Furthermore, that Chan Ho-Nam fellow is from Macau."
Everything became clear.
Liang Kun laughed heartily:
"As expected of Ah Feng, even Chiang Tin-Sung, that old fox's plan, couldn't hide from you."
Lin Feng snorted coldly:
"I was studying peacefully at home, and then I was dragged to Causeway Bay with just one phone call."
"And you're still my Big Brother, giving me so much trouble."
Liang Kun couldn't help but feel a wave of embarrassment:
"There was nothing I could do. If only one hall master had suggested it, I could have refused."
"But good heavens, almost everyone publicly nominated you, so how could I refuse?"
Lin Feng looked at him with disdain.
Liang Kun, helpless, had no choice but to reluctantly pull out a gleaming golden cigar box, saying with a pained expression:
"I got it for a thousand US dollars!"
Lin Feng snatched the cigar box, opened it, took out two cigars, gave one to Liang Kun, and happily tucked the other into his pocket.
"We're brothers for life, I won't make things difficult for you, so I've already delegated the task."
Liang Kun looked speechlessly at Lin Feng's pocket, while the latter vigilantly covered his pocket and made a solemn declaration:
"The cigar box is mine!"
Liang Kun sighed. Well, that was his subordinate, what else could he do?
It was just a thousand-dollar cigar box... Lin Feng took a happy puff and sneered:
"Chiang Tin-Sung and the various hall masters have a good plan, still wanting to avoid trouble?"
"Good for them!"
"I've thrown down twenty-five million, let's see who can sit still!"
"Want to order me around?"
"Do they think they're Brother Kun?"
Liang Kun was particularly shocked:
"This is why you were willing to spend twenty-five million, isn't it?"
Lin Feng laughed heartily:
"Brother Kun still understands me."
"What do Sai B's life and death have to do with me?"
"Besides you, Brother Kun, who can order me to do anything?"
"Pushing this troublesome matter onto me is simply a waste of time."
"Everyone dislikes trouble, right? So be it, I'll throw out twenty-five million and see if they're in trouble or if I am."
"Anyway, I only have two subordinates."
"Hahahahaha!"
Liang Kun also burst into laughter.
The two becoming brothers wasn't just talk.
They both had a somewhat wild nature.
After the two brothers finished talking, Lok Tin-hung and Mo Chiu-Nam's fight also ended.
As expected, Lok Tin-hung easily beat Mo Chiu-Nam.
Fortunately, he didn't hit his face.
"I deliberately didn't hit his face. After all, this guy is Brother Kun's bodyguard and represents Brother Kun's prestige."
"If his face were disfigured, it wouldn't look good for Brother Kun's reputation."
Liang Kun was truly envious. Look, this is the subordinate Ah Feng recruited, such awareness, so high!
Lin Feng wrote two checks.
One was for Lok Tin-hung, two hundred thousand, as a winner's reward.
The other was for Mo Chiu-Nam, one hundred thousand, as medical expenses.
"Ah Wu, I encourage you to challenge Tin Hung every time. If you can successfully challenge him, I will reward you with ten million in one go."
Mo Chiu-Nam's eyes lit up!
Lok Tin-hung scoffed:
"Him?"
Lin Feng slowly said:
"If you can successfully defend your title every time, I'll reward you with two hundred thousand each time."
Lok Tin-hung looked at Mo Chiu-Nam with intense eagerness; this guy was simply an experience booster!
He really wanted to beat him thirty days a month!

Chapter 58: The Underworld Trembles
Li Fu was highly efficient; he found specialized informants and released the news.
The B family was buried alive, and this was discovered in the early hours of the morning, so very few people knew about it initially.
However, as soon as dawn broke, almost everyone in Hong Kong who needed to know, knew.
When Superintendent Wong Bing-Yiu of the West Kowloon Police Headquarters started work, he was in a good mood; after all, there was a breakthrough in the corrupt police case and The Ni Family case that had plagued the Police Force for quite some time.
However, Chan Yan-kin rushed over with earth-shattering news, completely destroying Wong Bing-Yiu's good mood.
"What did you say?"
"Hung Hing Causeway Bay Hall Master B and his family were buried alive?"
"Lin Feng has issued a bounty to the entire underworld?"
Wong Bing-Yiu's eyes widened.
Chan Yan-kin had more detailed information, as he had a considerable number of undercover agents in various Triad organizations.
"The B family was discovered in the early hours of the morning. The nature of the case is extremely heinous; an entire family, including adults and children, four people in total, were all buried alive."
"Almost all of Hung Hing's big bosses went there."
"Chiang Tin-Sung and others publicly nominated Mr. Lin to handle the case."
"Originally, Mr. Lin wanted to investigate slowly, but who would have thought that B's right-hand man, Laang Zai Nam, would say that the killer of his boss was Mong Kok Liang Kun..."
Superintendent Chen understood the details quite clearly, meticulously reconstructing the situation at the time, which was remarkably accurate.
Wong Bing-Yiu sneered:
"B deserved to die; he actually raised such a right-hand man."
"Now, the entire underworld is in an uproar."
Chan Yan-kin hesitated for a moment, then gave a wry smile:
"It's not just the underworld that's in an uproar; even our Police Station is actively investigating this case."
Wong Bing-Yiu's eyes widened:
"What did you say?"
Chan Yan-kin whispered:
"Mr. Lin has put down twenty-five million to find the killer, and our ordinary police officers only earn six thousand a month..."
Wong Bing-Yiu sighed in a daze.
"money moves hearts."
Chan Yan-kin also said:
"Earlier, Mr. Lin said he would use a bounty to deal with The Ni Family, and I thought he was joking."
"Now it seems that for a Causeway Bay B, he can throw down twenty-five million, let alone dealing with The Ni Family, with whom he has a deep-seated hatred."
Wong Bing-Yiu immediately said:
"The Ni Family's matter cannot be delayed. Mr. Lin is a big shot, not a patient person."
"Just look at how he does things; his pursuit of speed is extremely strict."
Chan Yan-kin nodded slightly:
"The common flaw of big shots!"
Whenever a major, impactful case occurred in society, the favorite thing for the big shots in the Police Force to do was to set a deadline for solving the case.
It was simply ridiculous.
Solving cases has a strict process; even if you know who the criminal is, if you don't have the relevant evidence, you still can't do anything about them.
Do big shots care about these things?
No!
Big shots never ask about the process, only the results.
Clearly, Lin Feng was a big shot.
Wong Bing-Yiu felt itchy all over again, and couldn't help but pull out his beloved gun and scratch, scratch, scratch.
"Mr. Lin's sudden move, did it affect our Police Force's case-handling?"
Chan Yan-kin gave a wry smile:
"Big Sir, not today."
"Or not for the next three days. If this excitement doesn't die down, our police officers won't have much mind for handling cases."
Wong Bing-Yiu sighed,
"Go down and tell them to stabilize the brothers' emotions."
"If someone really wants to investigate, then let them investigate."
"Didn't Mr. Lin say that no matter who it is, as long as there's news, he will honor it?"
"This kind of windfall, it's better to give it to our Police Force than to the Young and Dangerous."
Chan Yan-kin was overjoyed:
"Big Sir is wise!"
Superintendent Chen relayed this news to the frontline police officers at the Police Station, and everyone cheered loudly, then disappeared without a trace.
Twenty-five million, who wouldn't want it?
Chan Yan-kin shook his head, sighing inwardly:
"Hopefully, someone will claim the bounty today, otherwise, there'll be no way to handle cases for a while."
The Police Force knew about B's murder.
Let alone everyone else.
However, very few people knew that B's former right-hand man, Chan Ho-Nam, and others, had been thrown into the open sea by Hung Hing.
In a certain abandoned construction site, several people looked dazed.
Bao Pi said with a ferocious expression:
"This must have been done by Mong Kok Liang Kun, otherwise, who would be so familiar with our Causeway Bay?"
Chan Ho-Nam, bruised and swollen, immediately hesitated upon hearing this.
Chicken spat:
"Are you stupid?"
"Still saying it was done by people from Mong Kok."
"Lin Feng has already spread twenty-five million money throughout the underworld to catch the killer; is he crying'stop thief' while being the thief?"
Bao Pi insisted on his opinion:
"It's not impossible."
Chicken was stunned to see Chan Ho-Nam hesitating upon hearing this:
"Are you guys crazy?"
"Brother B's entire family was buried; how big of a stir is that?"
"We don't know who did it, but do you really think the killer can hide from everyone in Hong Kong?"
"Someone must have seen it."
"I even dare to bet that it wasn't just one person who saw it."
"Without a doubt, someone will go to claim the reward within three days."
"You guys are still talking about people from Mong Kok..."
Dai Tin-Yee tugged at Chicken:
"Chicken, Nam's in a bad mood."
Chicken suddenly erupted,
"Nam's in a bad mood, and I'm in a good mood, huh?"
"If you're in a bad mood, then go find the killer of Brother B!"
"Look at the state of you all?"
"Each of you just sitting in this broken place, actually slandering people."
"It's simply ridiculous!"
"How the hell am I brothers with you?"
Bao Pi was furious and lunged forward suddenly,
"What the hell are you talking nonsense about?"
Chicken slapped his hand away:
"You're quite capable, huh? If you're so capable, then find the killer of Brother B."
Bao Pi shouted:
"I said it was Mong Kok Liang Kun who did it."
Chicken suddenly kicked him.
No one expected him to strike, and they were all stunned.
Chan Ho-Nam sternly said:
"Chicken, apologize to Bao Pi."
Chicken spat:
"Is he worth my apology?"
"I'm beating him for his own good."
"If Liang Kun was the one who killed Brother B, do you think Mr. Chiang would not take him down this morning?"
"Mr. Chiang has already made a statement, and you guys are still stubbornly insisting. Are you the Dragon Head of Hung Hing? Or the Chairman of Hung Hing?"
"You are nothing, and you're still wrongly accusing Mong Kok."
Chicken's words were like tearing off the emperor's new clothes; Chan Ho-Nam's face went from white to black, and finally he shouted:
"Fine, you won't apologize, right? Then leave."
"From today onwards, you are no longer my, Chan Ho-Nam's, subordinate."
Chicken was also stunned, and after a long while, he roared:
"I'll leave then!"
"From now on, we'll go our separate ways!"
Pah!
Chicken spat fiercely on the ground, shook his arms, and turned to stride away.
These people are absolutely insane.
Staying with them will eventually be the death of him!

Chapter 59: He Can't Catch Us
Renxin Hospital, Tsim Sha Tsui.
Ngai Wing-hau entered the private ward and looked at Luo Ji, who was lying in bed:
"Ah Kai, how are you feeling today?"
Luo Ji looked at Ngai Wing-hau with considerable gratitude:
"Mr. Ni, I feel much better."
"I am too ashamed that I couldn't fulfill my duties."
Ngai Wing-hau said with a hint of reproach:
"It takes a hundred days for a broken bone to heal, let alone your broken ribs. If you want to get better, you must rest and recover properly."
"You don't need to worry about my safety; Hon Sam is here."
Ngai Wing-hau turned to look at Hon Sam:
"Right, Ah Chen."
Hon Sam's face was all smiles, like a Maitreya Buddha.
"That's right."
"Ah Kai, you don't need to worry about Ah Xiao; the Triad is very lively now."
Ngai Wing-hau was startled:
"The Triad is very lively?"
Hon Sam smiled happily:
"It's extremely lively."
"Hung Hing Causeway Bay's hall master, Fine B, was found dead with his entire family in the early hours of the morning."
"The whole family was buried alive, all together; it was truly tragic."
"Hung Hing was furious. All the hall masters went to investigate, and then they collectively nominated Lin Feng to investigate the case."
Ngai Wing-hau and Luo Ji were stunned.
Hon Sam had actually explained the matter so clearly.
Ngai Wing-hau asked, surprised:
"How can you speak as if you were at the scene, Ah Chen? You are not one to speak carelessly."
Hon Sam still smiled, his face beaming,
"Someone spread the word."
"Lin Feng is truly worthy of The Ni Family. He is indeed bold, offering a reward of twenty-five million in red envelopes."
"He has turned the Triad upside down."
"How could it not be lively?"
Ngai Wing-hau held Luo Ji's hand and said:
"Ah Kai, your injury was caused by Ah Feng. I apologize to you on his behalf."
"Don't worry, I will give you the compensation you deserve!"
Luo Ji quickly said:
"Business is business, and personal matters are personal. I understand the distinction."
Ngai Wing-hau gently patted Luo Ji's hand,
"You were injured because of me; just focus on resting."
"I'll cover all your medical expenses and nutritional costs during this period."
He pulled out a check, quickly wrote a line of text:
"Here's one million; consider it your compensation."
Although it was called compensation, everyone present knew it was meant to appease Luo Ji.
Luo Ji was stunned for a long time. Finally, he picked up the check and said:
"Thank you, Mr. Ni."
Ngai Wing-hau breathed a sigh of relief, a satisfied smile appearing on his face as he adjusted his glasses:
"Rest well; I'll come back to see you later."
Luo Ji quickly said:
"Mr. Ni, please go about your business."
After Ngai Wing-hau and Hon Sam left, Luo Ji glanced at the check, a hint of a sarcastic smile appearing on his lips before instantly receding.
He carefully tucked the check close to his body.
This was a rare holiday, and Luo Ji decided he wouldn't go out until his injuries were fully healed.
Ngai Wing-hau and Hon Sam walked together, then Ngai Wing-hau suddenly asked:
"Can we use Ah Feng's method of offering a reward?"
Hon Sam shook his head:
"It's too late."
Ngai Wing-hau was slightly stunned:
"Yes, it's too late."
There's a time limit for solving cases. If a reward had been immediately offered on the day Ngai Kun was killed, there would undoubtedly have been countless clues.
Now, so many days have passed, and trying to find clues would be a fool's errand.
However, Ngai Wing-hau glanced at Hon Sam without a change in expression, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
It doesn't matter if a reward is useless; I can use a private detective.
If ordinary detectives are useless, then I'll find the best detectives in the world.
Not a single one of the murderers who killed my father will escape.
On the other side,
Someone also came to visit Fatty Lai at his bedside.
Dai Fei and Greyhound came to visit.
Fatty Lai looked at the two of them, annoyed:
"What are you two doing here?"
Dai Fei said:
"Something big has happened in the Triad."
Fatty Lai said, quite surprised:
"Liang Kun and Lin Feng are both dead?"
Dai Fei and Greyhound exchanged glances, somewhat bewildered.
How deranged would one have to be to wish for both of them to disappear at the same time?
Greyhound coughed:
"Those two are fine."
Fatty Lai made no attempt to hide his disappointment:
"Those two are actually fine?"
"Heaven truly has no eyes."
Greyhound quickly said:
"The Causeway Bay hall master, Fine B, and his family were buried alive."
Fatty Lai burst into laughter, even clapping his hands and cheering:
"Fine B is Chiang Tin-Sung's dog; it's best that he's dead."
"Who did it? I want to be friends with them."
Dai Fei and Greyhound suddenly felt an intense itch under their behinds. Had Fatty Lai gone mad?
So happy?
If the other hall masters found out, would they unite to beat them up?
Fatty Lai looked at their expressions and angrily said:
"Are you two scared?"
"What are you afraid of?"
"What the hell is there to be afraid of?"
"I was beaten to this state by Lin Feng, and I didn't see Chiang Tin-Sung come to say a word of fairness."
"What, I can't even complain a little at home?"
Dai Fei and Greyhound were quite regretful; they felt they shouldn't have come today.
Crazy.
Had Fatty Lai lost his mind?
However, this crazy guy was the hall master of North Point, so even if the two of them were unwilling, they had to rush over and report.
Dai Fei pulled Greyhound and immediately said:
"The Triad collectively nominated Lin Feng to investigate the case."
Fatty Lai sneered:
"Letting Lin Feng investigate the case, it's like they're in the Police Force. They're clearly a bunch of lowlifess, yet they insist on acting like elephants."
Dai Fei and Greyhound were even more bewildered. This guy looked like a cynical person no matter how they saw him.
Was he beaten silly by Lin Feng?
The two of them didn't know what to say for a moment.
However, while the two wanted to remain quiet, Fatty Lai didn't want to.
"Do you two have any news?"
"Why are you so silent?"
"Are you thinking of defecting to Liang Kun and Lin Feng's side?"
Dai Fei reluctantly said:
"Lin Feng has offered a reward to the Triad for clues about the murderer, putting up a twenty-five million red envelope."
Fatty Lai suddenly became agitated:
"Bullshit!"
"Is that Lin Feng's money?"
"That's mine!"
"That's my money!"
"Yesterday I lost forty million, and today he's using it to play the good guy?"
Fatty Lai couldn't lie still; he suddenly sprang up, excitedly wanting to wave his hand, but he accidentally touched his little brother.
Ow!
Fatty Lai ungracefully clutched his lower body in front of the two, his entire face contorted.
Dai Fei and Greyhound quickly left.
The two finally understood: Fatty Lai had truly been beaten silly by Lin Feng.
In just a few hours, he had lost Fatty Lai thirty or forty million; they would be silly too if it happened to them.
Fatty Lai finally calmed down after a while, his face showing no trace of the earlier frenzy.
He held his breath, listened carefully, and heard no movement from outside. Only then did he nod in satisfaction.
He quietly pulled out a mobile phone from under his pillow, dialed a series of numbers:
"Lin Feng has put up a twenty-five million reward; you need to be careful."
"I know; it's already spread throughout the Triad."
"Don't show any weaknesses; Lin Feng is not a kind person."
"Don't worry; he can't catch either of us."
"That's for the best!"
Fatty Lai hung up the phone, smiling as he tucked the phone back under the pillow—Lin Feng, my North Point has always relied on brains!
***
Chapter 60: Everything is Business
After stirring up a storm with twenty-five million, Lin Feng went back and had a wonderful sleep.
Nothing can disturb my sleep.
Even if the sky falls, it can't stop me from waking up naturally.
Before transmigrating, he was bogged down with work, busy with social engagements, and suffered from lack of sleep.
If he couldn't even guarantee sleep after transmigrating, wouldn't that be a wasted transmigration?
Busyness belongs to others; leisure belongs to him.
Lin Feng woke up at his usual time, and Li Fu had already prepared breakfast. Although he had bought a large villa, an unexpected incident forced him and Lok Tin-hung to stay at Lin Feng's place.
As Lin Feng enjoyed his breakfast, Li Fu had already been busy for a long time:
"Brother Feng, the bounty you issued is known throughout the entire Triad."
"Today, many people have already come to report clues."
"Brother Kun sent me over a hundred men to follow my orders."
"After sifting through the information, the situation is largely clear."
Lin Feng just focused on his shrimp dumplings:
"Tell me, what happened?"
Li Fu explained:
"Last night, Sai B's family was taken control of, and Sai B had no choice but to follow those people up the mountain."
"It was too dark, and there were no streetlights, so the witnesses couldn't see their faces clearly at all."
"They could only see that the leader seemed to have curly hair and was exceptionally tall and large."
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"Give him the five million."
Li Fu smiled:
"They've already been given to them."
Lok Tin-hung exclaimed:
"They've already been given?"
"This five million was too easy to earn, wasn't it?"
Lin Feng glanced at Lok Tin-hung:
"Easy to earn?"
Lok Tin-hung was full of confusion:
"He just saw a person and earned five million. Isn't that easy to earn?"
Li Fu sighed:
"The people who killed Sai B's entire family are clearly vicious and ruthless."
"Someone collecting a reward from us is no secret at all. Don't you think that person might be in danger?"
Lok Tin-hung was startled:
"Earn money but not live to spend it?"
Li Fu nodded slightly.
Lok Tin-hung was shocked:
"Are the murderers that audacious?"
Lin Feng snorted coldly:
"They could kill Sai B's entire family, and they were all buried alive. Do you think their methods are ruthless enough?"
"Brother Kun even said that this style is very similar to his."
"What kind of person is our Brother Kun?"
"Then you can imagine what kind of person the killer is."
Lok Tin-hung's mind went blank:
"The killer is Brother Kun?"
Suddenly, he reacted, giving himself a hard slap on the face.
"The killer is someone with similar traits to Brother Kun."
Lin Feng nodded:
"That's right!"
"Brother Kun is a man who loves money, and I am his only brother in his life."
"He is absolutely merciless towards enemies, and once he acts, he won't leave any loose ends."
"Cutting the grass and pulling out the roots is his motto."
"Such a person is not some assassin, but a Triad boss."
Lok Tin-hung's spirits lifted:
"So, the killer of Sai B's family is a Triad member?"
Lin Feng swallowed his shrimp dumpling, wiped his hands, and then said:
"That's right."
"Not only a Triad member, but a boss-level one."
Lok Tin-hung's mind was working now, and he looked at Lin Feng in disbelief:
"Boss, you wouldn't happen to know who did it, would you?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"Yes."
Lok Tin-hung stood up abruptly,
"Since you know who did it, why go through all this trouble?"
Lin Feng looked at Lok Tin-hung, shook his head, and did not answer him.
Lok Tin-hung asked Li Fu, confused,
"Brother Fu, what does Boss mean by this?"
Li Fu pointed to his head:
"Brother Feng means for you to use your brain more."
Lin Feng instructed:
"The news hasn't fully spread this morning; the afternoon will be the really busy time."
"I've set the deadline for this case to end in three days."
"At the very latest, it cannot exceed three days."
Li Fu understood instantly:
"If there's no result in two days, then we'll arrange for people to directly deal with the killer."
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"This matter is quite interesting; you two should learn from it well."
Lok Tin-hung was completely confused,
"Sai B was a Hung Hing hall master, wasn't he?"
"His entire family being killed is interesting?"
Li Fu had no choice but to explain to him:
"Tin Hung, when you're in the Triad, making money comes first."
"Unless you have true brothers, otherwise, just listen to that talk about brotherhood and forget it."
"Those who are in the Triad are all ruthless; no one is better than anyone else."
"It's true that Sai B was a Hung Hing hall master, but if it doesn't involve the business of the various hall masters, then no one will care if Sai B's entire family is dead."
Even though Lok Tin-hung already knew that the Triad was not as beautiful as he imagined, his worldview was still shattered by Li Fu's words.
Lin Feng said directly:
"Any organization, once it reaches the upper echelons, operates pretty much the same way."
"All organizations, after their initial expansion phase, will spontaneously strive to maintain stability."
"This aligns with everyone's expectations."
"Look at the large Triads, especially those that are a hundred years old; the ones in charge are definitely not young people."
"Young people want expansion, and expansion means fighting, which leads to bloodshed and conflict."
"For a Triad, that means instability."
"Business naturally won't be stable."
"When a Triad is in its growth phase, this is fine, because the gains from fighting outweigh the losses, so it's a worthwhile venture."
"But once a Triad stabilizes, every bloody conflict is a shock to the Triad."
"What keeps a Triad running isn't a few so-called hall masters, but stable sources of income."
"The brothers of the Triad need to eat, and that depends on the sustenance from the various financial sources of the Triad."
"Those big financial sources are all businessmen."
"What they fear most is internal Triad conflict."
"The more stable the Triad, the more reassured the bosses are."
"The more income the Triad has, the more brothers it can support."
"Compared to that, the death of a hall master really isn't much."
"Ba Bi was like this, Sai B was like this, and the hall masters and elders of other Triads are all the same."
"Unless someone genuinely avenges them, that's another story."
Lok Tin-hung gasped, he still didn't quite understand what Lin Feng was saying, but he wrote down everything.
Lin Feng told him to learn well, so he desperately wrote down everything Lin Feng said, and when he had free time, he would ponder over it repeatedly.
That's the good thing about Lok Tin-hung; he's willing to learn from the strong.
"What fighting and killing, what grudges and enmities."
"Everything in the Triad, behind it all, is business!"
Lin Feng summarized.
Li Fu nodded silently.
Lok Tin-hung was deeply shaken, and a premonition arose in the Blue-haired Kid's heart—the Triad he yearned for would never appear.
Lin Feng clapped his hands and instructed:
"Xiao Fu, Tin Hung, you two just wait here for the news to be compiled. We'll take our time, no rush."
"I've put the money out there."
"Those who need to be busy will naturally be busy."
"Remember, we are only compiling the information. Whether we ultimately need to find the killer ourselves is another matter."
Lok Tin-hung couldn't help but say:
"Boss, is this also business?"
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"That's right, everything is business."
