Chapter 115: Wong Bing-Yiu Sells Information (Part 2)
Fang Ting nodded repeatedly:
"I have time. Tao Tao needs at least a month to recover, and I'll be with Ah Feng for that entire month."
Lok Wai-Jan was overjoyed:
"That would be wonderful, thank you so much. Actually, we usually have two people accompanying him."
"It's just that the past seven or eight days have been so busy that we simply haven't had any time."
"You're not a financial reporter anymore, so you have free time now. As for me, being a reporter means constantly chasing news; where would I find any free time?"
Fang Ting deeply agreed.
Hong Kong reporters, inheriting from the Anglo-Saxon tradition, were famous for digging into people's privacy. They would practically hide under your bed to take candid photos, following you twenty-five hours a day.
Lin Feng frowned:
"Didn't I tell you to prepare to take on a management role?"
Lok Wai-Jan nodded repeatedly:
"Isn't it because the radio license hasn't been secured yet?"
"The news I'm covering now is closely following that Long Wei, and it's driving me crazy."
"I won't have time the day after tomorrow."
"I have to go to Hotel Conrade for a shoot."
Fang Ting asked, surprised:
"Hotel Conrade?"
Lok Wai-Jan explained:
"Hotel Conrade has created a big gimmick. On its opening day, it will select one hundred celebrities from all over Hong Kong and invite them to the top floor of the hotel to view the Russian imperial jewelry together."
"It's said that the jewelry is worth thirty million US dollars."
Lin Feng glanced at her without changing his expression:
"I'll go with you the day after tomorrow."
Lok Wai-Jan was overjoyed:
"Really?"
Lin Feng nodded slightly.
Lok Wai-Jan rushed over, hugged him, and kissed him: "Ah Feng, you're so good!"
Then she asked suspiciously,
"Aren't you uninterested in these kinds of events?"
Lin Feng sighed:
"I'm certainly not interested in this kind of thing, but I am interested in a certain person."
"Is it a woman?" *2!
Lin Feng rolled his eyes forcefully:
"Talking about women in front of you two beauties? Am I crazy?"
Lok Wai-Jan was even more puzzled:
"Then what is it?"
Lin Feng asked:
"Do you know the Doctor?"
The two women shook their heads in unison.
Lin Feng explained:
"The most vicious guy in the Big Circle Gang in Hong Kong, and I'm not talking about the face value of his crimes."
"In terms of money stolen, he's a hundred and eight thousand miles behind Cheuk Tze-keung."
Lok Wai-Jan's eyes lit up:
"Who is Cheuk Tze-keung?"
Lin Feng said casually:
"The top expert in kidnapping and extortion. He just kidnapped the Tycoon's eldest son and extorted 10.4 billion from him."
Hiss!
The two women gasped simultaneously.
Lok Wai-Jan murmured:
"Not a single hint of it was leaked."
Lin Feng chuckled:
"The news was controlled. The only people who knew were the police handling the case and the Tycoon's family."
"The Tycoon was too embarrassed to say anything."
"The police couldn't say anything."
Lok Wai-Jan's eyes sparkled:
"Ah Feng, what exactly happened?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Simply put, the police detected that Cheuk Tze-keung might commit a crime, so they informed the Tycoon, who completely dismissed it."
"Who would dare kidnap the Tycoon's son? Isn't that ridiculous?"
"After all, he's Hong Kongs richest man, right?"
Lok Wai-Jan was astonished:
"The Tycoon didn't listen, so his eldest son was kidnapped?"
Lin Feng scoffed:
"There's an even funnier story within that."
Lok Wai-Jan really didn't understand:
"There's something even funnier?"
Lin Feng sneered:
"When Cheuk Tze-keung committed the crime, the police's surveillance team had already detected his movements and explicitly told them that the Police Force could rescue the eldest son."
"However, this Tycoon still didn't listen. He stubbornly gathered all the old banknotes from his subsidiary companies, scraped together 10.4 billion, and then redeemed the person."
Lok Wai-Jan was overjoyed:
"Ah Feng, can I make this into a news story?"
Fang Ting poured cold water on her:
"I'm afraid not."
Lok Wai-Jan said angrily:
"Why not?"
However, after a moment's thought, she deflated herself,
"Indeed, it won't work."
"This kind of news can circulate as a rumor, but large-scale broadcasting is definitely out of the question."
"How annoying!"
Lin Feng comforted her:
"Uncle Six won't let you do a news segment on this."
"Hong Kong is a small place, and the Tycoons all know each other; they're basically in the same circle."
"If you broadcast this news, Uncle Six will be put in a difficult position."
"Anyway, you'll be leaving soon, so don't cause trouble for Uncle Six."
"If you really want to broadcast it, it won't be too late once you have your own TV station."
Lok Wai-Jan nodded repeatedly.
After Lin Feng finished breakfast, he casually gave Lok Wai-Jan a task:
"Since you're here, accompany Ting Ting to choose two cars in a bit."
Fang Ting was astonished:
"Choose cars?"
Lok Wai-Jan giggled:
"Each of us sisters gets one daily driver and one sports car."
"This is drawn from the family fund, so you don't have to spend your own money."
Huh?
Lok Wai-Jan shrugged:
"There are some things you don't understand right now. It's not that Ah Feng is hiding them from you; you'll only understand these things after you've seen them with your own eyes."
"No matter how others explain it, you won't have the concept in your mind."
Fang Ting nodded, half-understanding.
Lok Wai-Jan chuckled:
"Alright, let's go!"
"Perfect, I'm taking half a day off this afternoon."
As the two were about to leave, someone walked in.
"Brother Feng."
Lin Feng said in surprise:
"Xiao Fu, why are you back?"
Li Fu respectfully greeted Lok Wai-Jan and Fang Ting, then said:
"Team Leader Shi found me and told me about recruiting people. He's taking care of it; I just need to provide names and addresses."
Lin Feng chided:
"Didn't I tell you to go home and spend time with your elderly mother?"
Li Fu smiled bitterly:
"I was supposed to be home with my mom, but didn't Captain Shi go there?"
"My parents felt immensely honored."
"I can earn money and gain face, so they said Brother Feng treats me very well and I shouldn't disappoint him, then they sent me back."
Lin Feng was speechless.
"If it's really not possible, why don't you bring your parents here to visit?"
Li Fu shook his head even more:
"They don't want to come."
"Of the money I sent back, they only used a little to build a huge villa, bigger than my villa in Mid-Levels, with a full eight stories!"
"They're content to stay in the village and be a Tycoon; they have no desire to leave at all."
"Their only wish is probably to fly to see the flag raising."
"The thinking of their generation is different from ours."
Lin Feng patted his shoulder. He understood the thinking of Li Fu's parents very well.
He truly understood, as his own elders in his previous life were also like that.
Many elders in his Mainland had a lifelong wish to go to a certain place to watch the flag raising. At that time, he hired three large buses to fulfill the elderly people's wish.
After Li Fu returned, Lin Feng's head steward immediately took his place.
Lok Wai-Jan and Fang Ting naturally went to do their own things, and Lin Feng naturally had his own things to do as well.
Li Fu was a bit embarrassed:
"Brother Feng, I originally planned to bring back over three hundred people."
"But who would have thought such a thing would happen?"
Lin Feng shook his head:
"No need to rush. Team Leader Shi... Dai Kuen Pao, from now on when you mention him, he is Dai Kuen Pao."
"Dai Kuen Pao will send the people to me as quickly as possible."
"Later, I need to talk to him and see if we can hire a few female bodyguards."
Li Fu nodded slightly:
"The Sister-in-laws do need a bit more protection."
Lin Feng said to Li Fu:
"It doesn't matter if we don't have enough people. I happen to know a talented person, and we'll go recruit him today."
Li Fu nodded in agreement.
Wang Jianguo was sent to Wang Jianjun's side. The Security Company still had to wait for people from their Mainland to arrive before it could get on track.
"Brother Feng, Jian Jun brought Tin Hung, Dai Tau, and the others to clean up Causeway Bay today."
"He said that was your instruction."
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"Yes, Heung Yim of Sun Yee On challenged me before, and I won't tolerate him."
"I said I would drive Axe Jun and his men out of Causeway Bay, and I don't know who advised them, but they directly offered up a street."
"I had an agreement with Szeto Ho-Nam that Causeway Bay would only have our two groups."
"Who knew Sun Yee On retreated too quickly, not giving me a chance to act out at all."
"It's good to let Jian Jun and his men make a move. Otherwise, others might think I'm not the Chairman of Causeway Bay."
Li Fu was speechless:
"Only the most blind person would ignore you!"
He had the most authority to speak; no one understood the true extent of Lin Feng's power better than him.
Even Liang Kun wasn't as familiar with it as Li Fu.
It was only because Lin Feng was low-key, or rather, "lazy"; if he were to truly sort out his power, the Triad world would have been shaken long ago.
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head:
"You can't say that."
"Though I have some strength, I don't particularly like being famous in the underworld."
Li Fu was even more speechless:
"Brother Feng, let's not be too modest. You are Hung Hing's Straw Sandal; everyone in the underworld knows that."
Lin Feng, however, agreed with him:
"But they only consider me a Straw Sandal… perhaps they might even give me a second look because of Brother Kun."
"But to say how much they fear me, that's simply impossible."
"I haven't displayed my power."
"Even if I spend a fortune on Cha Sai B's case, they won't have any substantial change in their perception of me."
"People have a certain mindset; they unconsciously believe their own advantages are considerable, and at the same time, they instinctively exaggerate others' shortcomings."
"This is human nature and an instinct for human survival."
"Only this way do people become fearless."
"But we must know that this perception is false."
"Once you believe this false information, do you know what will happen?"
"Misjudging your own strength will easily lead to failure when facing an enemy."
"This is the wisdom of our ancestors."
"He who knows others is discerning; he who knows himself is wise."
"I know myself."
"I am not the Dragon Head, and I'm a newly promoted Chairman. Perhaps I'm well-known in a small circle, but in a broader sense, most people will say— "
"Lin Feng, Hung Hing's Straw Sandal!"
"That's all!"
Li Fu secretly thought, if any idiot really thought that, he would be in big trouble.
Lin Feng said with great interest:
"When you're in the underworld, it's enough to be recognized; you don't need to show how powerful you are. Otherwise, this world would be too boring."
Li Fu was speechless; he realized that Brother Feng was a bit bored?
"Brother Feng, where are we going?"
Lin Feng said:
"To the Long Family Stunt Team."
Li Fu was surprised:
"Long Family Stunt Team?"
Lin Feng explained:
"Long Wei's Long Family Stunt Team. The talent I'm looking for is there."
"With his addition, we won't have to wait for people from our Mainland to come over; we can establish the Security Company in Causeway Bay."
Li Fu immediately paid attention:
"What's his background?"
Lin Feng explained:
"The person I'm looking for is named Li Jie, a former special police officer and a famous bomb disposal expert."
"However, during a mission, his wife and son were killed by criminals."
"Li Jie resigned after that. By chance, he ended up staying with Long Wei's Long Family Stunt Team, training his body every day, hoping to avenge his wife and child."
Li Fu nodded slightly:
"Who were the criminals?"
Lin Feng explained to him in detail:
"Doctor."
"This is an extremely vicious criminal gang led by Doctor."
"Every time they commit a crime, they have an extremely detailed plan."
"Do you know what I thought of when I saw the crimes they committed?"
Li Fu's heart stirred, and he asked:
"Brother Feng, did you find something?"
Lin Feng nodded:
"Their actions are swift, decisive, without any sloppiness, highly efficient, and they maintain perfect discipline, leaving no clues…"
Li Fu said in horror:
"Soldiers?!"
Lin Feng shook his head:
"No, retired soldiers, and soldiers who have experienced life and death on the battlefield."
"They don't have any of the minor flaws that other Triads might have."
"All cases are handled perfectly."
"The only clue the Police Force could find was actively given by Doctor."
"When Doctor wanted to extort a ransom, he told the police his name was Doctor."
Li Fu frowned:
"Who would take a name like Doctor?"
Lin Feng said directly:
"Obviously, this is a codename."
"It can't be his real name."
"Or, this is the profession the gang leader displayed when not committing crimes…"
"This is the only clue the Police Force has."
Li Fu suddenly understood:
"Li Jie resigned precisely because this case was almost impossible to investigate."
"Hong Kong experiences various incidents, big and small, every day… The Police Force cannot devote all its manpower to one person."
"Li Jie could only resign."
Lin Feng nodded:
"This is our opportunity."
Li Fu exclaimed:
"Brother Feng, you know Doctor's whereabouts?"
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head:
"No, I don't know where he is, but I know where he will strike."
Li Fu immediately relaxed:
"So that's it."
"As long as Doctor dares to show up, he won't escape."
Li Fu was quite confident; with himself, Wang Jianjun, Lok Tin-hung, plus the unerringly accurate marksman Wang Jianguo.
And with Li Jie, no matter what kind of Doctor he was, as long as he dared to show his face, he would definitely be fed to the fish in the sea.
Lin Feng said indifferently:
"I will go too."
Li Fu was startled:
"Boss, you're going to make a move?"
Lin Feng was a bit helpless:
"Doctor is going to strike at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, which opens the day after tomorrow."
"On the top floor of that hotel, three royal jewels from Tsarist Russia, valued at thirty million US dollars, will be exhibited then."
"To make a name for itself, the Grand Hyatt Hotel specifically invited a hundred celebrities. Your Sister-in-law was invited."
Li Fu immediately realized:
"Sister-in-law is a well-known reporter, so she is indeed a celebrity."
"It seems you really have to go."
Lin Feng said indifferently:
"I don't care about a guy like Doctor; I'm interested in Li Jie."
"Actually, I'd be at ease leaving it to Jian Jun, but Jian Jun was trained in our Mainland, and the situation in Hong Kong is slightly different."
"Li Jie is a local Hong Konger and a former special police officer, so communicating with the government will be much smoother."
"This person is very honest. For all these years, he has been Long Wei's bodyguard. Besides that, he also acts as Long Wei's stunt double."
"Recently, the scenes where Long Wei jumps from buildings were basically all performed by Li Jie."
Li Fu slowly nodded:
"Then this guy can indeed be recruited."
Lin Feng said to Li Fu:
"You are the leader of the Security Company, followed by Wang Jianjun, Li Jie, and then Wang Jianguo."
"Tin Hung will mainly manage the Triad side."
"Take Tin Hung with you more often when you have time."
"He's a young man; there are some things he simply doesn't know."
Li Fu's expression was strange:
"Jian Jun told me that after today's battle, he's going to take Tin Hung to do something special."
Lin Feng became interested:
"What thing?"
Li Fu chuckled:
"Jian Jun has already contacted Chicken. When it's time to celebrate, he'll hand Tin Hung over to Chicken and have the latter find a clean place to help him lose his virginity."
Lin Feng was particularly speechless:
"Bad friends!"
"Be careful, Tin Hung might come after you guys."
Li Fu laughed:
"He won't find me; he'll have to find Wang Jianjun."
Lin Feng felt very strange:
"Why suddenly do such a thing?"
Li Fu smiled and shook his head:
"I don't know."
Li Fu wouldn't dare to say that Lok Tin-hung, that little rookie, really thought there were women crying at Brother Feng's place last night.
Only a suicidal fool would say that.
Lin Feng instinctively felt it was strange, but he wasn't the type of person with strong control; as long as it wasn't a matter of principle, he wouldn't interfere.
Who doesn't have a little secret, after all?
Lin Feng just felt that this was a prank by two mischievous big brothers on their younger brother.
After all, Tin Hung was almost eighteen, and he didn't even know the taste of a woman… how could he possibly be in the underworld?
The two had no other conversation on the way and went straight to the Long Family Stunt Team.
They happened to see Li Jie returning dejectedly after failing to catch Sang Bang.
Lin Feng waved to Li Jie in a friendly manner:
"Bold, I admire you. How about working for me?"
Li Jie was agitated and shook his head, refusing:
"I'm very happy working at the Long Family Stunt Team; I haven't thought about changing jobs."
Lin Feng smiled:
"I'll help you get revenge, and you work for me. How about it?"
Li Jie suddenly looked up:
"You know about my situation?"
Lin Feng extended his hand:
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Lin Feng. You might have heard my name."
"Hung Hing Causeway Bay's Hall Master?" Li Jie hesitated for a moment but still shook Lin Feng's hand. "Can you really help me get revenge?"
Lin Feng released his arm:
"I know you've always wanted to get revenge on Doctor. Now, let me test how much of your skill you've retained."
Li Fu walked up gracefully:
"My brother, forgive me!"

Chapter 116: The Beginning of a Chaotic Underworld (Part 1)
Bang!
Whoosh!
Li Fu and Li Jie, two men of similar height, similar appearance, and even similar boxing styles, fought together.
Fists flew and kicks landed, a lively exchange of blows.
Each of their moves aimed at the opponent's vital points, as if they weren't sparring but fighting to the death.
Lin Feng, watching from the side, saw clearly that both men were holding back three-tenths of their strength.
In a life-or-death struggle, even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit; holding back means one thinks their life is too long.
Therefore, despite the dangerous-looking moves, it was merely a spar.
Bang!
Li Fu's whip kick sent Li Jie stumbling back.
Li Jie looked at Li Fu with surprise and uncertainty.
Lin Feng smiled and nodded:
"Very good. It seems you haven't slacked off in the Long Family Stunt Team."
Li Jie took a few breaths. They had only been fighting for a few minutes, but he was quite out of breath:
"I lost."
Lin Feng looked at Li Jie curiously:
"You didn't really think you could beat Xiao Fu, did you?"
Li Jie thought for a moment:
"I thought I had a chance."
Lin Feng nodded:
"Yes, you do have a chance, but it's only a chance."
"You just fought someone, didn't you? Your mental state isn't at its best."
"My brother here also just returned from a long journey, so he's not at his best either."
"I can tell that when you sparred with him, you held back three-tenths of your strength, but my brother held back half."
Li Jie's face flushed red:
"Half?"
Lin Feng consoled him:
"Nothing is impossible."
"Your boxing styles seem similar, but in reality, they're not at all."
"You learned how to save people, focusing on how to restrain someone, mostly using small grappling techniques."
"My brother here learned killing techniques."
Li Jie said solemnly:
"Thank you for the lesson!"
Lin Feng laughed:
"I approve of your skills. Now go back and bid farewell to Long Wei."
"I know Long Wei's father was kind to you, but you've been here for three years, and you've repaid all your debts."
"If you don't leave soon, hehe, Long Wei won't have even one-tenth of his kung fu left."
Li Fu was stunned:
"Brother Feng, what do you mean?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"You've seen Ah Jie's skills. What do you think?"
Li Fu sighed sincerely:
"His kung fu is very high, similar to Jian Jun's."
Lin Feng clapped his hands:
"The problem is precisely that Ah Jie's kung fu is very high."
Li Fu grew even more surprised:
"Brother Feng, I don't understand."
Li Jie gave a wry smile and shook his head.
Lin Feng said indifferently:
"Long Wei is a famous martial arts star; he genuinely has a foundation in kung fu."
"However, his selling points are basically things like jumping from buildings... that's a dangerous job."
Li Fu had also heard of Long Wei:
"Didn't the news reports say Long Wei never uses a stunt double? He said that himself."
Lin Feng retorted:
"Do you believe him?"
Li Fu immediately understood. So, Long Wei really did use a stunt double.
"With Ah Jie around, all sorts of dangerous tasks are basically Ah Jie's. Besides that, he's also Long Wei's bodyguard."
"Kung fu is like sailing against the current; if you don't advance, you retreat."
"For people like us, we need to practice at least half an hour every day to strengthen muscle memory."
"Long Wei's kung fu isn't even as good as ours. If he has three-tenths of his kung fu left, it's because he has a good foundation."
Li Fu agreed quite readily.
Li Jie quickly said:
"I'll go find Old Mr. Long to resign now."
Lin Feng smiled:
"Go ahead. We'll wait for you at the entrance."
Old Master Long immediately understood when he heard Li Jie's intention:
"It's good that there's news of that beast, but don't let anyone trick you... Who is that person?"
Li Jie didn't hide it from him:
"Lin Feng, the Causeway Bay Hall Master of Hung Hing."
Old Master Long was startled:
"It's him! Well, that's good."
Those in the martial arts industry inevitably deal with all sorts of people, and they understand Triads better than most.
Those who work in martial arts all pride themselves on having some skills.
These people basically spend their money at dance halls and casinos, and getting drunk and fighting is a common occurrence.
So, conflicts with Triads are also normal.
Ordinary people might not know who Lin Feng is, but those in the martial arts world certainly do.
Old Master Long sighed:
"Lin Feng is a trustworthy person. Back then, when Liang Kun's matter caused such a stir, almost everyone around Liang Kun betrayed him, except for Lin Feng."
"A while ago, he even spent a fortune to seek justice for his fellow disciple, Fine B. He truly is a heroic figure."
"Following him, you shouldn't have to worry about your future."
Li Jie shook his head:
"I don't care about any future. I only want to avenge my wife and child."
Old Master Long nodded:
"Alright, go and pack your things then."
Li Jie gave a wry smile:
"What do I have to pack?"
"After I say goodbye to Long Wei, I'll leave."
Old Master Long stopped him:
"No need to say goodbye to him."
"I'll tell him."
"Even if you didn't leave, I would find a way to make you leave."
Li Jie was stunned:
"Did I do something wrong?"
Old Master Long smiled wryly:
"After you arrived, Long Wei stopped doing any slightly difficult stunts."
"He only has three-tenths of his kung fu left."
Li Jie's expression was strange; this was exactly what Lin Feng had said!
The two embraced solemnly and then parted ways.
Lin Feng brought the man to the Security Company office in Causeway Bay.
Just then, Wang Jianjun, Wang Jianguo, Lok Tin-hung, and the others returned.
Lin Feng introduced Li Jie to them,
"Alright, our Security Company's leadership is complete."
"Xiao Fu is the chairman of the Security Company, overseeing the general direction. Jian Jun and Ah Jie are his left and right hands."
"Xiao Fu isn't usually here, so this place is mainly managed by Jian Jun, Ah Jie, and Jianguo."
"Ah Jie, Jian Jun will tell you about some procedures later."
"Tomorrow, all of you present will go to the West Kowloon Police Headquarters to obtain your gun licenses."
"Oh, and in a few days, another group of people will arrive. You will lead them for special training with the Flying Tigers."
"Go in batches!"
Li Jie was stunned:
"Brother Feng, is this a legitimate Security Company?"
Lin Feng nodded as a matter of course:
"Of course it's legitimate. I wouldn't do it if it wasn't."
Li Jie's eyes were a bit strange. He had already prepared himself to join a Triad, and now he was being told to work for a legitimate Security Company?
The psychological gap was a bit large.
Lin Feng said to everyone:
"The day after tomorrow, we have a big operation to avenge Ah Jie. The opponents are quite ruthless; they've been on battlefields."
"Don't relax too much these two days."
Lok Tin-hung's eyes immediately lit up:
"There are masters?"
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"Yes!"
The Blue-haired Kid was overjoyed:
"Then we can have a good match with them."
Lin Feng wondered:
"Didn't you just go with Jian Jun and the others to sweep the territories of other halls?"
Lok Tin-hung immediately became dispirited:
"Sun Yee On surrendered directly. What other small Triads would dare to resist?"
"Only Szeto Ho-Nam and He Yong from Tung Sing are considered masters, but we're not fighting them..."
"It's too boring."
"It's not as good as fighting Brother Jun."
Lin Feng pointed at Li Jie:
"Here, I've brought you another master."
Lok Tin-hung was overjoyed:
"Brother Jie is a master? How good is he?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"Just a tiny bit better than you."
Lok Tin-hung's eyes brightened even more:
"Brother Jie, how about we spar?"
This was the first time Li Jie had seen such a martial arts-obsessed side of Lok Tin-hung:
"Now?"
Lok Tin-hung nodded repeatedly:
"No problem at all!"
Wang Jianguo stopped him:
"Ah Jie just arrived, why are you in such a hurry? Practice tomorrow, it'll be a good warm-up for the operation the day after tomorrow."
"Now, we should go celebrate."
Lok Tin-hung was about to protest, but Wang Jianjun added a bargaining chip:
"You go celebrate first. I'll fight you tomorrow."
Lok Tin-hung was overjoyed:
"It's a deal."
The Blue-haired Kid, still unaware of what he was about to experience, was pulled away by Wang Jianguo, looking bewildered.
Lin Feng laughed and scolded:
"Jian Jun, aren't you afraid Tin Hung will figure it out and come looking for trouble?"
Wang Jianjun was very calm:
"He can't beat me."
Lin Feng reminded him:
"After a while, Tin Hung's body will be fully grown. At that time, his strength will greatly increase. Be careful, he might hold a grudge."
Wang Jianjun remained calm:
"Tin Hung has a big heart. His eyes are only on people who are stronger than him."
"He disdains bullying the weak."
Lin Feng was convinced:
"You've got this kid figured out completely."
Wang Jianjun sighed:
"This guy is growing very fast. Before, I could beat him up easily, but now it takes a lot of effort to beat him up..."
Lin Feng burst out laughing. He motioned for everyone to sit down, and Wang Jianjun timely brewed the tea.
As usual, cigars were distributed all around, and after puffs of smoke filled the air, he spoke,
"Li Jie, your position in the Security Company is below Jian Jun."
"However, if a major emergency requires communication with the authorities, and I specifically mean Hong Kong, then you will take the lead."
"After all, you used to be a special police officer. With that identity, it's easier to build connections."
Li Jie said with a wry smile:
"Brother Feng, I'm a bomb disposal expert, it's a very niche field."
Lin Feng shook his head:
"Niche doesn't matter, as long as you've served before, that's enough."
"Your salary is one hundred thousand hong kong dollars a month."
"Any problems?"
Li Jie quickly shook his head:
"No problem."
Lin Feng said to everyone:
"Remember, while I've set a basic salary here, it's only a basic salary."
"This is not the maximum salary."
"When there's a mission, the salary will be even higher."
"Xiao Fu will work out the details later, and you can study them yourselves."
"As long as you do your jobs well, I have plenty of money here."
"Don't try to save me money."
Everyone nodded in unison.
Lin Feng then said to Li Jie:
"Your matter is everyone's matter. Jian Jun will be one of your main helpers tomorrow."
"The two of you will be partners tomorrow, so go and familiarize yourselves with each other's skills and tactics beforehand."
Li Jie looked at Wang Jianjun gratefully, who shook his head slightly, indicating there was no need for thanks.
Lin Feng casually pulled out a large wad of cash:
"As per custom, the first month's salary is always advanced. Ask Jian Jun about the dormitory."
"Xiao Fu, let's go eat."
Lin Feng left as soon as he spoke, leaving only Li Jie and Wang Jianjun. He didn't arrange any welcome banquet or anything similar for Li Jie.
Li Jie didn't need one now anyway. He probably wanted to know how strong the helpers Lin Feng had found for him truly were.
Actually, Li Jie had wanted to ask where the doctor was just now, but he had endured it with great willpower.
Seeing how organized Lin Feng was, Li Jie believed that he wouldn't deceive him.
Since he had become a subordinate, he had to act like one.
It wouldn't be wrong to follow the boss's arrangements.
Lin Feng and Li Fu went to a street food stall.
Neither of them disliked the place; they just enjoyed the lively atmosphere of the roadside.
When it came to snacks, the street food was the most authentic.
As for star-rated hotels, that wasn't about the taste, it was about the ambiance.
Li Fu specifically ordered nourishing items for Lin Feng, such as oyster cakes and bull penis.
Lin Feng rolled his eyes:
"Why are you getting me this?"
"I really don't need this right now."
Li Fu shrugged:
"The Sister-in-laws told me to before they left."
Lin Feng was speechless.
"These women really aren't afraid of death."
Li Fu had no way to respond to that.
As the two were eating, someone squeezed in.
Lin Feng said irritably:
"Chief Huang, you've been following us this whole way, haven't you?"
Wong Bing-Yiu kept wiping his sweat:
"I didn't know where you would be eating, so I had to follow you, didn't I?"
Li Fu kindly reminded him:
"Chief Huang, you could have called us, actually."
Wong Bing-Yiu froze. Oh right, he could have called.
For a moment, Chief Huang felt a bit foolish.
Lin Feng looked at Wong Bing-Yiu with amusement:
"Chief Huang, why is your body so stiff?"
He really knew how to rub salt in the wound.
Chief Huang, thick-skinned, took the opportunity to put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a million-dollar check:
"Isn't this to give Mr. Lin a check?"
"I'm a poor man!"
"If such a large check were lost, I'd go bankrupt."
Lin Feng glanced at Wong Bing-Yiu in surprise:
"Chief Huang, who did you rob?"
Wong Bing-Yiu puffed out his cheeks and glared, fanning himself vigorously:
"I'm a police officer, how could I do such a thing?"
Lin Feng casually handed the check to Li Fu:
"I've been reading a bit of psychology lately. Chief, you look very guilty right now."
Wong Bing-Yiu was astonished:
"You can tell that?"
Lin Feng burst out laughing.
Wong Bing-Yiu didn't hide it:
"I reported this news to Old Lin in the Hong Kong Island district and got two million in return."
Lin Feng gave a thumbs up:
"You're a real businessman, selling it directly for double to Chief Lin... that's amazing."
Wong Bing-Yiu quickly asked:
"How much more do you know about the doctor?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"I received news that the doctor plans to act the day after tomorrow when the Grand Hyatt Hotel opens."
"I have a colleague here, a former police officer of yours, who has a deep-seated grudge against the doctor."
"Coincidentally, I also received an invitation, and I plan to meet this doctor the day after tomorrow."
Wong Bing-Yiu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. With Lin Feng involved, that damn doctor should be no more.
He immediately relaxed, looked at what Lin Feng had ordered, and then raised his hand:
"Boss, one serving of bull penis and oyster cake!"
Lin Feng asked with a chuckle:
"Chief, you have a good appetite."
Wong Bing-Yiu's alarm bells went off:
"Mr. Lin, you don't have any more stimulating news for me, do you?"
Lin Feng looked at him calmly and asked:
"Do you want to hear it?"
Wong Bing-Yiu gritted his teeth:
"Yes!"
Immediately after, Chief Huang's brows furrowed tightly, and he pleaded:
"Can you charge less for informant fees?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"Forget it, this one's on me."
Wong Bing-Yiu was surprised:
"That good?"
Lin Feng said:
"This piece of information not only needs to be told to you but also to the Dragon Head of our Triad, so consider it free."
Wong Bing-Yiu immediately relaxed:
"It doesn't seem to be stimulating news then."
The boss served the dishes very quickly, placing them directly on the table while saying:
"This customer, you're very lucky. These are the only two bull penises from two bulls..."
Wong Bing-Yiu repeatedly thanked him, then raised his eyebrows at Lin Feng:
"My luck is pretty good."
Lin Feng sighed:
"I don't know if your luck is really that good."
"I heard..."
Wong Bing-Yiu immediately put down his chopsticks. He now had a stress reaction; every word Lin Feng uttered had immense value.
"George is almost done organizing things in the Political Department. He has a strong interest in Hong Kong's Triads."
Wong Bing-Yiu's face immediately turned grim. No wonder this news had to be told to him and also to Chiang Tin-Sung.
George doing this would surely throw Hong Kong into chaos—both the underworld and the establishment.
Lin Feng reminded him:
"You know George's methods. He wants to use drugs to launder money and stir up the entire underworld. "
"The first to bear the brunt won't be me, it'll be you!"
Wong Bing-Yiu looked at him in confusion:
"Mr. Lin, you've got it wrong, haven't you? You're a Triad..."
Li Fu explained for Lin Feng:
"Hung Hing doesn't deal drugs."
Wong Bing-Yiu immediately shut up.
Not only did Hung Hing not deal drugs, but with Lin Feng's presence, anyone who did would definitely face targeted elimination by Lin Feng.
Traditional Triads had their own scopes of business.
Triads that didn't deal drugs usually wouldn't start dealing drugs easily.
It was still the same saying: when Triad bosses reached a certain level, they weren't managing a Triad, they were managing a business.
Everyone knew that long-term, steady businesses were the most stable and profitable.
Big bosses weren't interested in schemes for overnight riches.
Wong Bing-Yiu was thoughtful:
"You mean, my police officers will be in danger?"
Lin Feng retorted:
"Aren't they?"
"Where do your frontline detectives deploy the most undercover agents?"
"Triads certainly have undercover agents, and generally, big bosses will have at least one or two undercover agents planted around them."
"This might not be arranged by you, but by the frontline officers of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau themselves."
"However, compared to something else, do you think it's more or less?"
Wong Bing-Yiu gritted his teeth:
"Drug trafficking syndicates!"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Exactly!"
"Take The Ni Family as an example. How many undercover agents have you sent into The Ni Family?"
"Lu Qichang sent three, and Huang Zhicheng also sent three."
"The funny thing is, they each didn't know about the others' existence."
"This shows your apprehension."
Wong Bing-Yiu no longer pressed why Lin Feng knew so much. He had long concluded that Lin Feng had a vast intelligence network behind him.
This network was mysterious and incredible, making its true depth unknown.
Lin Feng said unhurriedly:
"And the most important point, you should understand that the Political Department is the department that can clearly know your operational plans."
"Naturally, they can also more easily know the identities of your undercover agents..."
