Chapter 69: An Uncontested Struggle
The 25 million bounty was canceled.
This news spread throughout the Triad world immediately.
All the Triads were filled with doubt and surprise.
There are no impenetrable walls in the world, and many Triads already knew that someone had received the bounty from Lin Feng, which meant that Hung Hing had a high probability of finding out who the murderer was.
To find the murderer so quickly was unbelievable.
However, it was the truth.
Hung Hing is one of the top ten Triads in the Triad world, with a total of 50,000 members. If they retaliated, many Triads would find it difficult to withstand.
Especially since Hung Hing had a legitimate reason, mobilizing would not be difficult at all.
The slogan "avenge our brother" would naturally receive the support of the entire Triad world.
lowlifess who joined Triads, wasn't it all for "loyalty and righteousness"?
Many Chairmen were a bit nervous and immediately ordered self-investigation, fearing that the murderer of Sai B was in their Triad, which would be a huge problem.
Many Triads who were on good terms with Hung Hing's Hall Masters called the various Hall Masters, hoping to get information.
Sister Thirteen hung up the phone and frowned, asking:
"Has there been no news from Ah Feng?"
Hon Ban replied:
"Ah Feng is a man who does great things; he keeps his mouth shut very tight."
"If you want to know who did it, you'll have to hear it in the Hall of Brotherhood."
Sister Thirteen frowned and said:
"He won't even tell us Hall Masters?"
Hon Ban didn't think there was any problem with that:
"Our Hung Hing has twelve Hall Masters, and together we have 800 schemes. Who can guarantee that no one will leak the news?"
"When Mr. Chiang had Sai B deal with Ba Bi, did he tell all the Hall Masters?"
"Wasn't it because he was afraid that Liang Kun, who had a good relationship with Ba Bi, would leak it?"
Sister Thirteen joked:
"Could Sai B's matter have been done by Liang Kun?"
Hon Ban shook his head:
"That's absolutely impossible."
"What is Ba Bi worth to Liang Kun to risk violating the family rules?"
"This was already an unprofitable matter."
"Even Tung Sing didn't care, so why would Liang Kun stick his neck out?"
Sister Thirteen thought about it and agreed.
Hon Ban whispered:
"My people saw Dai Fei and Greyhound take Fatty Lai to the seaside."
Sister Thirteen's eyes widened:
"What?"
"Is Fatty Lai going to run away?"
Hon Ban said speechlessly:
"Dai Fei and Greyhound are not that close with Fatty Lai..."
"My subordinate said that the two of them took people to the seaside and set a big fire."
Sister Thirteen exclaimed:
"Destroying the evidence?"
"Fatty Lai killed Sai B's whole family?"
Hon Ban subconsciously played with the wine glass in his hand:
"Under the circumstances at the time, Fatty Lai didn't have that capability."
Sister Thirteen nodded:
"That's right, the day before Sai B was killed, Fatty Lai had just been crippled by Lin Feng, and almost all of his close associates were admitted to the Triad Hospital."
"Fatty Lai himself was even injured by our Hall Masters."
"He didn't have this capability."
Sister Thirteen suddenly said:
"Did Fatty Lai collude with outsiders?"
Hon Ban shrugged:
"That's probably it."
"No matter what, Fatty Lai is dead, which can be said to have avenged Sai B."
"The rest is not for us to think about."
"That's for Chiang Tin-Sung to consider."
Sister Thirteen frowned in confusion:
"Is Fatty Lai out of his mind?"
Hon Ban explained to her,
"It's not simple. Sai B was Mr. Chiang's loyal supporter."
"Under what circumstances would he first deal with a loyal supporter?"
Sister Thirteen suddenly understood:
"Fatty Lai's ambition is big enough."
Then she was somewhat annoyed,
"If I had known, I would have kicked Fatty Lai a few more times, preferably breaking his two balls!"
Hon Ban inexplicably felt a chill down below.
He wouldn't bat an eye at killing Fatty Lai, but he didn't expect Sister Thirteen to specifically target the lower body, which was a bit horrifying.
Sister Thirteen asked:
"What do you think of Liang Kun's idea of money laundering? Is it viable?"
Hon Ban spoke truthfully:
"It's very viable."
"I have a great demand for money laundering."
"My business is different from yours; the cash transactions are all large amounts."
"If there's such a stable money laundering channel, I'd definitely welcome it two hundred percent."
Sister Thirteen asked:
"What about mine?"
Hon Ban shrugged:
"Anyone in a Triad needs it."
"Moreover, the sooner such a thing is established, the better."
"Movies and such are irrelevant; the money laundering channel is the most important."
"A money laundering channel that can be controlled in one's own hands is even more important."
"To be honest, your sense of urgency isn't as strong as ours. Portland Street can at least make some slight accounts."
Sister Thirteen had an idea and then asked,
"Now that Hung Hing has two vacant Hall Master positions, do you think we have a chance?"
Hon Ban laughed:
"You still want to covet these two halls?"
Sister Thirteen shrugged:
"The more territory, the better, of course."
Hon Ban said seriously:
"I advise you not to think about such things."
"These two halls are already taken."
Sister Thirteen frowned:
"Taken?"
Hon Ban explained:
"Generally speaking, if a Hall Master passes away, his subordinate Big Brother inherits the Hall Master position."
"Taking Causeway Bay as an example, it should have been chosen from Sai B's subordinates."
"But he didn't have any Big Brothers under him, only Chan Ho-Nam, who was thrown into the high seas by Chiang Tin-Sung."
"This is also an object that other Hall Masters can contend for."
"However, this position is most likely Lin Feng's; no one else should think about contending for it."
Sister Thirteen was puzzled:
"Why? Don't the Hall Masters have to publicly recommend?"
Hon Ban said unhurriedly:
"Sai B's family annihilation happened this morning, and by this evening, the case was solved."
"Lin Feng spent 25 million for this."
"Wo Luen Shing only needed two million to elect a Dragon Head. Is 25 million not enough for a Hall Master?"
Sister Thirteen was immediately speechless.
Hon Ban said bluntly:
"The position of Causeway Bay Hall Master can only be filled by Lin Feng; no one else can do it. This is Chiang Tin-Sung rewarding him."
"Even if other Hall Masters have objections, it won't matter."
"Whoever throws 25 million for Sai B can sit in this position."
"Moreover, others can contend, but you alone cannot."
Sister Thirteen was unconvinced:
"Why can't I?"
Hon Ban said indifferently:
"You owe him a favor."
Sister Thirteen was immediately speechless.
That's right, Sister Thirteen owed Mong Kok a favor.
And a debt of gratitude is the most expensive.
Hon Ban continued:
"Not to mention your connections with Liang Kun and Lin Feng, just the help he gave you when you rose to power, you must remember."
"Not to mention the recent events."
"There's nothing wrong with contending for benefits, but if you break your promise, then not many people will want to play with you in the future."
Sister Thirteen sighed:
"What about North Point?"
Hon Ban shrugged:
"Dai Fei and Greyhound, one of them will have to be chosen."
"Aren't they the only two Big Brothers in North Point?"

Chapter 70: Preparing to Sell Brother B for a Good Price
"Get ready. We're going to join Mr. Chiang for the negotiations."
Liang Kun gave the order to everyone.
Lin Feng, feeling lazy, didn't want to move:
"Can't you and Chan Yiu go alone?"
Liang Kun shrugged:
"You gave up twenty-five million for Brother B, and Mr. Chiang specifically asked you to come."
Lin Feng frowned:
"He sure knows how to boss people around."
"Where are the negotiations?"
Liang Kun shrugged:
"Arrogance Restaurant!"
Lin Feng chuckled:
"The Triad Boss's exclusive restaurant, huh?"
"When are we leaving?"
Liang Kun also showed a hint of dissatisfaction:
"Now!"
Lin Feng stretched:
"Alright, let's go. That actually fits my schedule."
"Going at night is always better than going during the day."
Liang Kun sighed:
"But it's also more dangerous than during the day."
Lin Feng scoffed:
"If Camel and his gang dare to make a move, then I'll have a reason to wipe out Tung Sing."
Liang Kun was startled:
"Don't you dare mess around."
Lin Feng smiled:
"I understand. When you're out in the world, making money comes first. Fighting and killing are secondary. We're different now."
Liang Kun put his arm around Lin Feng's shoulder and said:
"That's right, the time for us brothers to fight tooth and nail is over. Now, stability comes first."
Lin Feng was indifferent:
"You're the boss, I'll listen to you."
So, the two brothers, along with Li Fu, Lok Tin-hung, Chicken, and Mo Chiu-Nam, met up with Chiang Tin-Sung and Chan Yiu, and went to Arrogance Restaurant.
Chiang Tin-Sung was slightly taken aback when he saw Chicken.
"Ah Kun, isn't this Chicken?"
Liang Kun smiled:
"He's a new recruit I just took in. He's quite clever, and I plan to mentor him."
"I brought him along this time to let him see the world."
Chiang Tin-Sung encouraged him with a few words:
"Chicken, follow Ah Kun well and work hard. Grandfather won't shortchange your future."
Chicken acted appropriately, showing his excitement, and repeatedly said:
"Thank you, Mr. Chiang. I will definitely follow the boss and do my job well."
Chicken retreated to stand beside Li Fu and the others. He had a clear understanding of his position; even though he was with Liang Kun, he was still a junior.
"Brother Fu, what are we going to do?"
Chicken still didn't know the purpose of their outing.
Li Fu whispered:
"We're going to negotiate with the Tung Sing people."
Chicken suddenly understood:
"Are we preparing to avenge Brother B?"
Li Fu scoffed:
"No, we're preparing to sell Brother B for a good price."
Boom!
Chicken was stunned. It took him a while to recover, his voice trembling:
"Sell... Brother B for a good price?"
Li Fu looked at him strangely:
"Otherwise?"
"If we really wanted to avenge Brother B, would we need to negotiate?"
"We'd just call up our men and smash Tung Sing's businesses."
"At most, we'd draw lots for a death match and send our hitmen to take out Yiu Yeung."
"That's the way to avenge Brother B."
"Why would we be negotiating like this now?"
Chicken's entire worldview was shattered:
"Brother B was the Causeway Bay Hall Master. His whole family was wiped out... and no one thought about avenging him?"
Li Fu's words were very practical:
"If my brother encountered the same situation as Brother B, I would definitely avenge him, no matter who stood in my way."
"Does Brother B have such a brother?"
"No, right?"
Chicken thought for a moment, then hesitantly said a name:
"Chan Ho-Nam?"
Li Fu scoffed:
"Even you aren't sure, so why bring him up?"
"From the looks of Chan Ho-Nam, he doesn't even know who killed Brother B."
"Revenge? Dream on."
Chicken was still upset. Although Brother B was biased, he had been good to him after all.
Furthermore, Brother B had done so much for the Triad, only to have his entire family wiped out. Yet, the Triad wasn't thinking about avenging him; instead, they wanted to use his death for their own gain... it was too cold-blooded.
It was completely unlike what he imagined the higher-ups should be like.
Chicken was very sullen.
Li Fu saw his problem at a glance.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling a bit unbalanced now?"
Chicken nodded glumly:
"Brother Fu, this isn't what I imagined."
Li Fu chuckled:
"What kind of underworld did you imagine?"
Chicken thought for a moment and said:
"Cutting people together, drinking together, playing with women together."
"Making money together, bearing hardships together."
Li Fu looked at him strangely:
"If you have such ideals, why don't you become a police officer?"
"You want to find such pure brotherhood in the underworld?"
"How naive can you be?"
Chicken mumbled:
"Isn't that what they all say in the underworld?"
Li Fu laughed:
"That's propaganda."
"Do you understand what propaganda means?"
"They only tell you the good things; they won't tell you a single bit about the hardships and difficulties."
Chicken didn't believe it:
"Are there really no such brothers?"
Li Fu said bluntly:
"There are!"
"For example, Brother Kun and Brother Feng, and also Mo Chiu-Nam and his brother."
Chicken glanced at Mo Chiu-Nam, who was startled and asked Li Fu in confusion:
"You even know about my affairs?"
Li Fu rarely rolled his eyes:
"Please, we're looking for bodyguards for Brother Kun. If we didn't thoroughly investigate who you are, would we hire you?"
Mo Chiu-Nam thought about it and realized he was right.
Chicken asked curiously: "What's the situation with Ah Wu and his brother?"
Mo Chiu-Nam said with a stern face:
"Nothing."
Chicken looked at Li Fu, who said:
"Ah Wu's brother was also from the Number Gang. While they were working together, they fell into an ambush. That brother took a knife for Ah Wu and lost his life."
"Ah Wu has been supporting his friend's family ever since."
"You see Ah Wu always talking about money; that's because he needs a large sum of it."
"The family of the brother who took the knife for him contracted a chronic illness, one that can't be cured, and they have to rely on medication to stay alive. Without money, it's impossible."
Mo Chiu-Nam was silent for a moment before saying:
"My life belongs to my brother, so of course I have to support his family."
Chicken felt even worse:
"Brother B didn't meet such a brother."
Mo Chiu-Nam said:
"Brother B's entire family was wiped out; revenge has no meaning."
"He did cultivate a subordinate, but he turned out to be a useless pretty boy."
"It's no wonder Hung Hing would do this."
"Any Triad Boss without a personal connection would maximize the use of Brother B's death."
"The dead are ultimately dead; the living must live their own lives."
"Actually, if Brother B had escaped with his life, even if he was crippled, Hung Hing would still avenge him."
"But he died, and he died with no attachments whatsoever."
"If we were to ruin Hung Hing's business for him, or even implicate many brothers to go down with him because of him."
"Do you think that's appropriate?"
Chicken was speechless, unable to retort.
Mo Chiu-Nam glanced at him askance:
"Brother B's godson didn't even stand up for him, so what are you worrying about?"
Chicken paused, then suddenly saw the light.
That's right, Brother B's godson, Chan Ho-Nam, didn't even stand up for him, so what the hell was he worrying about?
Would killing Brother B's enemies make him feel any happier?
Since it wouldn't, then what was there to lament?
Was he crazy?!
***
Chapter 71: Dragon Gate Array
The two major Triads, Hung Hing and Tung Sing, were negotiating, and the mediator they found was also very famous: Uncle Deng of Wo Luen Shing.
Uncle Deng enjoyed a high reputation among Wo Luen Shing's council of elders.
He even chatted and laughed with Lui Lok.
His round figure meant his toes couldn't be seen, but his imposing aura was absolutely overwhelming.
Uncle Deng sighed:
"I'm old now; I can't fight or do things, only my seniority is here."
"Both of you are renowned figures in the underworld. Today, we'll be gentlemen and talk, not fight. If we can talk, we talk; if not, we fight."
"But I ask both of you to give me face. How about we part ways amicably?"
Tung Sing's Camel and Hung Hing's Chiang Tin-Sung repeatedly said they wouldn't dare.
Present for the negotiations, Hung Hing's side included Chan Yiu, Liang Kun, and Lin Feng, with the rest being junior members.
Tung Sing's side included Camel, Uncle Ben, as well as Smiling Tiger Ng Chi-Wai and Szeto Ho-Nam, with the rest being subordinates.
Chiang Tin-Sung said:
"I've had a friendship with Uncle Camel for decades. When my late father was alive, we used to drink tea together."
"Although the two Triads have had friction, we all know that this is mostly for show, for the police."
"We are all from the Hung Society lineage, competing with each other for prosperity, but if any of us has a joyous or sorrowful event, we all contribute."
"You are an elder, how do you think we should handle this matter?"
Chicken stood to the side, as if struck by lightning.
How was this different from what he knew?
Were the upper echelons of Hung Hing and Tung Sing so close?
Didn't Fine B tell them to beat Tung Sing members to death if they caused trouble?
When grassroots members met, wasn't it always a fight to the death?
How could the higher-ups be drinking tea so amicably?
Chicken couldn't help but look at Li Fu, who whispered,
"Watch more, listen more, speak less."
Chicken nodded quickly.
Camel pondered for a moment and said,
"We are also very saddened by Fine B's death."
"Such an incident is something none of us want to see happen."
"How about this, you propose a plan, and we'll compensate."
Camel, being old and cunning, immediately kicked the ball back.
Chiang Tin-Sung smiled slightly:
"Since that's the case, Ah Feng, what do you think Tung Sing should compensate us with?"
Lin Feng sighed, thinking to himself that he was truly a busy man.
"Fine B was a staunch supporter of our Mr. Chiang."
"His status in Hung Hing is comparable to Uncle Ben's in Tung Sing."
Szeto Ho-Nam was furious:
"Nonsense, how could that scoundrel Fine B be compared to Uncle Ben?"
Lin Feng stopped speaking, looking impatiently at Szeto Ho-Nam,
"Is that how Tung Sing teaches you manners?"
"Interrupting people casually?"
"Are you the Chairman of Tung Sing?"
"Or do you want to speak first?"
"No wonder Yiu Yeung dared to kill our Causeway Bay Hall Master; he truly died unjustly."
"The Chairman of Tung Sing has spoken, and you, one of the Five Tigers, say you don't care."
"Today, I've seen Tung Sing's upbringing."
Camel was enraged.
Slap!
He gave Szeto Ho-Nam a solid slap:
"Are my words no longer effective?"
Szeto Ho-Nam covered his mouth and lowered his head:
"Boss, I was wrong."
Camel gave him a cold glance, then turned to Lin Feng:
"My discipline is lax; I've made Hung Hing a laughingstock."
"However, you can talk, but don't casually drag Tung Sing into it."
"Otherwise, my subordinates will have to uphold their boss's dignity, and I won't be able to reprimand them."
Lin Feng grinned.
"Negotiations, you ask for the sky, and we'll bargain down."
"Situ said Fine B is inferior to Uncle Ben, and we still feel wronged."
"How loyal Fine B was to Mr. Chiang, you all know, right?"
"As long as Mr. Chiang gave an order, Fine B would carry it out without a second thought."
"He never questioned Mr. Chiang's ideas."
"Even my boss, Brother Kun, couldn't do that."
"Between our two Triads, find me a Hall Master like Fine B."
"Can you find one?"
The Tung Sing members were momentarily stunned.
Lin Feng sneered coldly:
"Can't find one, can you?"
"You, Situ, are considered mild-tempered among the Five Tigers, yet I only spoke a few words, and you eagerly jumped out to refute."
"And this is with Chairman Camel sitting here, and a big boss like Uncle Ben sitting here."
"If they weren't here, would you have hit me?"
"Don't explain; an explanation means you're right."
"Fine B is very important to us!"
"His status is much higher than you imagine."
Uncle Ben scoffed:
"He's just a thug."
"How important could he be?"
"Don't treat us like three-year-olds; we're all adults, and there are no airtight walls in the underworld."
"Fine B's status with you is just mediocre."
Chiang Tin-Sung, Liang Kun, and Chan Yiu all frowned.
Uncle Ben was indeed an old fox; he immediately hit the nail on the head.
The three looked at Lin Feng with slight worry, all feeling quite troubled. If it were them, it would be difficult to refute Uncle Ben's words.
Camel looked at Uncle Ben with approval. Situ interrupting was wrong; he didn't have the standing. Uncle Ben's words were perfectly appropriate.
His words made Hung Hing extremely uncomfortable.
Lin Feng sneered:
"Uncle Ben just said Fine B's status with us is just mediocre?"
"That's truly a joke."
"His importance is far greater than you think."
Uncle Ben asked with interest:
"Proof?"
Chiang Tin-Sung, Liang Kun, Chan Yiu, and others grew even more anxious.
Li Fu's face was calm; he had absolute confidence in Brother Feng.
Lin Feng mocked:
"Fine B's importance is known throughout all of Hong Kong."
Uncle Ben laughed heartily:
"Known throughout all of Hong Kong, why don't I know?"
Lin Feng clapped his hands:
"You don't know?"
"Heh, have you been living in seclusion?"
"A 25 million bounty, and you tell me you don't know?"
Uncle Ben's laughter abruptly stopped.
The Tung Sing members who were laughing also stopped.
Lin Feng said grimly:
"Fine B was our Hung Hing's Causeway Bay Hall Master, and more importantly, our brother."
"If he wasn't important, would I throw away a 25 million bounty to investigate his case?"
"You know better than I do the weight of 25 million."
"These days, Uncle Deng's Wo Luen Shing only spends two million to elect a Leader."
"I spent 25 million for Fine B's matter."
"Spending 25 million for a dead man... and you bastards dare to say he's not important?"
"How much does it cost to hire a hitman?"
"With 25 million, I could package all the hitmen from Yuen Long's Mountain Tiger and still have money left over!"
Lin Feng smiled grimly,
"Uncle Ben, are you getting old, suffering from senile dementia?"
"I said Fine B's status is comparable to yours, and you're still not satisfied?"
"Then may I ask, if something happened to you, would Tung Sing spend 25 million to hunt down your killer?"
Chiang Tin-Sung, Liang Kun, and Chan Yiu almost pounded the table in admiration!
Li Fu smiled, knowing that trusting Brother Feng unconditionally was the right thing to do.
Chicken's face was blank. This, again, was different from what he understood?
***
Chapter 72: Lin Feng Never Does a Losing Business
Chicken was stunned.
This was also different from what he knew.
According to Brother Feng, he offered a 25 million bounty, but it was just to complete the task assigned by Chiang Tin-Sung as quickly as possible.
But how did it turn into something like avenging Sai B here?
Twenty-five million was no small sum.
It was a very, very large amount of money for anyone.
Many people couldn't earn that much money in their entire lives.
If he wasn't really on good terms with Sai B, why would Brother Feng spend so much money?
Could it be true, as Brother Feng said, that Brother B's status in Hung Hing was unusual?
But looking at Hung Hing's actions, it didn't seem that way.
What the hell was going on?
Chicken felt his mind was a mess and couldn't help but look at Li Fu, wanting to ask for guidance.
Li Fu lowered his voice and reminded him again, "Bringing you here this time is to broaden your horizons; watch more, listen more, and speak less."
Chicken immediately shut up.
Li Fu nodded slightly.
Though he hadn't spent much time with Chicken, Li Fu already knew that the guy was indeed smart.
It was just that Chicken had always been at the lowest level of the Triad before, completely unable to see the true situation of the Triad.
Therefore, bringing him here was to break his illusions early.
The Young and Dangerous at the bottom did not experience the real Triad; the real Triad would shatter the Young and Dangerous's dreams of the underworld.
Breaking them early was better than breaking them late.
Li Fu believed that after this negotiation, Chicken's dreams of the underworld would be reshaped.
This is Lin Feng?
Uncle Deng let the people from both Triads speak freely, not interfering at all.
He looked at Lin Feng with great curiosity.
A guy who could casually throw down 25 million was certainly not an ordinary person.
Uncle Deng had wanted to meet him for a long time, and upon meeting him, he truly lived up to his reputation.
Lin Feng was much younger than he had imagined.
He was probably only twenty, right?
Uncle Deng envied Lin Feng's age, yet he also keenly noticed a maturity that was unusual for his age.
Lin Feng's name had actually been circulating in the underworld for a long time.
The Tiger of Mong Kok.
Liang Kun's only brother.
Hung Hing's famous financier.
Uncle Deng had met all sorts of powerful figures in his life, even chatting and laughing with the four chief inspectors.
However, Lin Feng gave him a feeling unlike anyone else.
The Tiger of Mong Kok?
Was this composure a bit too much?
It seemed the other party was not a young man in his early twenties, but rather an old man like himself.
The more he saw this, the more Uncle Deng valued him.
In the underworld, there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.
The Tiger of Mong Kok, that means he is a tiger, not a fox.
Thus, it could be said that Lin Feng's style should be to plan carefully before acting, and once the opponent reveals a flaw, he will definitely deliver a fatal blow.
Uncle Deng greatly admired Lin Feng.
However, when he thought that this was a Hung Hing big shot, not one of their Wo Luen Shing, Uncle Deng felt a bit depressed.
Wo Luen Shing had many outstanding individuals.
But only two people could barely compare to Lin Feng.
One was Lam Wai Lok, and the other was Big D.
Lam Wai Lok's actions were a bit too subtle, with an excess of 陰柔 (yin rou - feminine or insidious).
Big D was straightforward but lacked dozens of schemes.
If the two of them were to ever go against Lin Feng, they would definitely not be his match.
However, on second thought, Uncle Deng smiled again:
"Wo Luen Shing is different from other Triads; we don't need such a powerful young man."
"If he had grown up in our Wo Luen Shing, I would be having a headache."
Tung Sing was having a headache.
Did they not know what kind of status Sai B had in Hung Hing?
Those who could become a Hall Master of a branch were somewhat unruly; how could there be anyone who had no grudges with the Chairman?
Triad positions were earned through fighting, not through courtesy.
All the Hall Masters present had come to their positions this way.
Even the White Paper Fans of both sides, a position that only considers wisdom, were fought for.
Chan Yiu of Hung Hing, known as the Tiger of Wan Chai, not the Fox of Wan Chai.
Ng Chi-Wai of Tung Sing, was one of the Five Tigers.
A character like Sai B, let alone having no connections in Hung Hing, would still have no connections in Tung Sing.
However, knowing was one thing, but refuting it was difficult.
Because Lin Feng really did throw down a 25 million bounty.
Honestly, 25 million isn't much; any Hall Master could grit their teeth and come up with it.
For Hall Masters of big Triads like Tung Sing and Hung Hing, if you don't have tens of millions in assets, would you even dare to greet people?
The problem is, even if you have that much money, you might not be willing to use it as a bounty.
Anyway, the people of Tung Sing couldn't do it.
Lin Feng was right; Wo Luen Shing only needed two million to elect a Dragon Head.
Throwing out 25 million all at once, what was he trying to do?
When you're out in the streets, nothing else is convincing; when it comes to money, that's more convincing than anything.
The Tung Sing people clearly felt Lin Feng was talking nonsense, but with 25 million placed there, how could you refute it?
Instead, Uncle Ben vaguely sensed Lin Feng's intention, but after thinking about it, he ultimately didn't say it:
"Yiu Yeung and Fatty Lai's actions are top secret."
"Unless Lin Feng is clairvoyant, he wouldn't directly and readily throw down 25 million."
"Using so much money to dig a pit for Tung Sing... that shouldn't be possible!"
Lin Feng looked down at the red-faced Tung Sing members:
"Am I wrong?"
"Do you all want to refute it?"
"You can speak up and refute."
How the hell do you refute that?
From Camel down, the Tung Sing members felt terribly aggrieved.
Lin Feng waited for a while, then said:
"Thus, regarding the importance of Sai B, we have reached an agreement."
"Uncle Deng, please make a note of this point."
Uncle Deng chuckled and asked Camel:
"Does Tung Sing agree?"
Camel grunted and finally nodded.
Triads were evolving, but some old-fashioned figures still held power, and Camel was one of them.
Camel was extremely protective of his subordinates; only he could discipline his younger brothers, no one else.
He also particularly loved to talk about rules; things had to be done in an orderly fashion, and he absolutely could not lose face.
His face was more important than anything else.
Szeto Ho-Nam, despite being one of the Tung Sing Five Tigers, if he lost Camel's face and allowed him to be looked down upon by Lin Feng, he would still be beaten without question.
Regardless of whether it was in public, regardless of whether you were one of the Five Tigers, you'd still get beaten!
Of course, if a subordinate caused trouble, Camel would still back him up —
If you don't support your subordinates when they're in trouble, will they support you when you're in trouble?
Camel believed in this.
Similarly, he was willing to reason with people.
Lin Feng's reasoning was both grand and firm, so Camel could only listen.
"Since both sides agree, then it's easy to handle."
"The ones who killed Sai B were Fatty Lai and Yiu Yeung; Fatty Lai will not see tomorrow's sun."
"As for Tung Sing Yiu Yeung — that's your business."
"This negotiation of ours is very simple: first, compensation for Sai B's death, and second, ransoming Lui Yiu-Yeung's life."
The faces of the Tung Sing members changed, and they immediately felt uneasy.
