Chapter 183: The Triad Is in Trouble
"From what you're saying, the Police Station is having difficulties?"
Liang Kun asked Lin Feng with interest, while also observing Tin Yeng-San.
The latter was looking at the large red envelope in his hand with disbelief. Liang Kun's mischievousness had stuffed it with a thick stack of large bills, which, to put it simply, was 100,000 hong kong dollars.
Tin Yeng-San played with it for a while before obediently handing the money to Ho Man. She said, "Tomorrow I'll take you to the bank to open an account. You can just deposit any pocket money you get."
Lin Feng was very proud:
"See? Ah Sang isn't bad, is he?"
Liang Kun laughed:
"He's indeed as Laang Zai as you were when you were little."
Lin Feng asked:
"Do you think Old Mother will like him?"
Liang Kun nodded as a matter of course:
"Of course she'll like him. You know Old Mother's preferences, don't you?"
"She just likes children."
Lin Feng mocked:
"Old Mother would prefer to hold her own grandson."
Liang Kun retorted angrily:
"Don't bring up sensitive topics!"
Ho Man said, exasperated:
"Gentlemen, there's a child here. Please keep your voices down."
Liang Kun said awkwardly:
"We brothers are just used to it."
After speaking, he glared fiercely at Lin Feng.
This was only acceptable here with Lin Feng. If it were anywhere else, what woman would dare to interrupt her man when he was speaking or doing something?
Ho Man possessed a kind of intellectual tolerance that made even the lawless Liang Kun feel restrained.
He just couldn't understand why a Young and Dangerous like Lin Feng wouldn't marry a hot-tempered girl or a delinquent. Why did he have to marry so many high-class women, making himself uncomfortable?
Lin Feng burst out laughing.
"Ah Sang, go play with your sisters-in-law."
Tin Yeng-San politely said goodbye and obediently let Ho Man lead him upstairs.
"Marry for virtue, take concubines for beauty. I adhere to the teachings of our ancestors."
Liang Kun said, speechless:
"But all of your wives are very capable."
"Not to mention those who aren't here, just look at Ah Min—she's a teacher, and now she's a school director. Lok Wai-Jan is a famous beautiful TV reporter. Fang Ting is from a prestigious family and was a financial reporter herself…",
"Do we really need to be this outrageous?"
Lin Feng sighed:
"Your standards are low. Why don't you look for the reasons within yourself?"
With Lin Feng's financial resources and Jianghu (Jianghu) status, he could change his female companions every day for ten years without repeating, if he wanted to.
But that was meaningless.
Lin Feng's requirements were much higher than Liang Kun's. He didn't want a mere trophy wife; she had to have a special skill in either family or career.
Someone like Sai Sai Lap wouldn't even qualify to enter Lin Feng's door.
Liang Kun sighed, speechless.
This younger brother, whom he had raised, had a personality similar to his own, but his ambition was much greater than his own. It was truly hard to explain.
Lin Feng then answered Liang Kun's question:
"The Police Station is indeed in trouble, and it was caused by Richard. The Golden Club is currently lying low, but they haven't washed their hands of illegal activities and gone legitimate for good."
"Without Richard, their interference in the Jianghu is temporarily gone."
"The replacement for Richard is still being slowly sought, but that doesn't mean the ICAC or the Security Bureau won't take action against the Police Station."
Liang Kun laughed:
"That's the cops' problem."
"We can relax for a bit."
Lin Feng shook his head:
"No, strictly speaking, this is our problem. It's impossible to relax."
Liang Kun was puzzled:
"How is it still our problem?"
Lin Feng explained:
"The ones investigating the Police Force are people from the Golden Club."
"In other words, these two individuals are not investigating the Police Force out of public interest, but purely out of spite."
Liang Kun asked, puzzled:
"The West Kowloon Police Headquarters will just put on a show, right? Who do you see in that investigation team Chief Wong Bing-Yiu set up?"
"This will most likely become an unsolved case and just fade away."
Lin Feng smiled:
"That's right, you think that, and Chief Huang thinks that, but some people won't think that."
Liang Kun paused slightly, then laughed:
"Are the three big figures of the Golden Club afraid that the police can find them out?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"If they encountered someone like me, then tell me, can the police find them out?"
"I said from the beginning, don't look at how high-ranking and powerful the other party is, we don't have any chance of winning. However, the other party doesn't walk the straight path, they engage in illegal activities…"
"Those guys have a guilty conscience."
Liang Kun scoffed:
"If I had the chance to be an official, I would absolutely not engage in any illegal activities."
Since ancient times, the tradition passed down in the Mainland has been scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, with scholars being the first priority.
With an official position comes the greatest power. According to the Western system, if you just lean slightly to the side, there's a lot of money to be gained.
Note, there's absolutely no need to engage in any illegal activities; just doing your job properly is enough.
The respect from citizens and businessmen is enough to get rich safely and securely.
Of course, people are different. Some are born with great ambition, and they feel that the money obtained through legitimate channels is not enough for them, hence the Golden Club.
The Golden Club is dedicated to "pre-emptive strikes," constantly searching for opportunities to get rich quickly.
Everyone knows what those so-called grand plans for wealth are.
"The Golden Club are not content people like Brother Kun; their ambitions are much greater."
Liang Kun felt that Lin Feng was scolding him, but he had no proof.
"Richard is dead, and now the Deputy Director of the Security Bureau has been looking for a new frontman to replace Richard, which is not an easy task."
Liang Kun was completely puzzled:
"The Deputy Director of the Security Bureau is a definite big shot; won't he be able to find a suitable person?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Don't forget, George, the new arrival in the Political Department, is a major in the Military Intelligence Agency."
"He's a very capable fellow."
"It's not an easy task for the Deputy Director of the Security Bureau to snatch someone from George's hands."
"Foreigners understand Foreigners best; they clearly know how difficult this matter is."
"They know best what kind of unit the Military Intelligence Agency is."
"Do you think they dare to compete with those two units?"
Liang Kun shook his head:
"Definitely not."
Lin Feng spread his hands:
"Then that's it."
"Now they are intent on bringing down the Police Station that doesn't follow their orders, and rebuilding the drug trafficking network that was lost due to Richard's death."
"We said before that both the Golden Club and Richard must be taken down."
"Otherwise…"
"Once they succeed, the entire Jianghu will be in chaos."
"In that case, let alone waiting for Hong Kong to return, we might all be finished a few years before the return."
Liang Kun frowned deeply, his eyelids twitching repeatedly:
"Does it have to be so exaggerated?"
Lin Feng said helplessly:
"Chiang Tin-Sung even wanted to conduct another black-and-white cooperation before."
"Do you think it's urgent or not?"
Liang Kun was thoughtful.
"We handled Sun Luen Shing's matter well, causing infighting within the Golden Club and forcing them to cut off Richard, but this is only a temporary measure."
"If we dare to relax, once the Golden Club recovers, our Hung Hing will still suffer losses."
Liang Kun said angrily:
"Why is that?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Our influence is too great. After merging with Chung Ching Society, we have the most complete hotel group in all of Hong Kong—of course, this is at the Triad level."
"We also have the most friendly Triads."
"Even Tung Sing has to be on good terms with us publicly!"
"But similarly, if other Triads get into trouble, we are the first ones who can't escape."
"If you have a good relationship with someone, then at critical moments, you have to help."
"Human relations are nothing more than that."
He gave a specific example,
"Originally, the only one we were at odds with was Fatty Lai. The other hall masters of Hung Hing all had a good relationship with us."
"So, if they have something going on…"
"Do you think we help them or not?"
Liang Kun was speechless.
Lin Feng was known as one of Hung Hing's best Straw Sandals, precisely because Mong Kok had good relationships with various Triads and big bosses at the time.
Besides Lin Feng, Liang Kun also had good relationships with others.
It could be said that no other Triad members had a wider circle of friends than the two of them.
Even the crazy group from Chung Yee Shun, who dared to exchange gunfire with the police, had established a good impression with the two of them.
Mutual respect was a must, and more importantly, helping out when there was trouble.
Being a Jianghu boss is not just about whether you have money or subordinates; it's also about whether you take action.
A boss who doesn't want to help other Triads or friends, no matter how powerful, is definitely not a good partner, and people will leave him.
There's give and take, gains and losses; that's normal human interaction.
Just like Liang Kun and Lin Feng, the two brothers might dream of living freely, but even they can't do that in Hung Hing, let alone anyone else.
Everyone says Yau Tsim Mong watches out for each other, but honestly, Tsim Sha Tsui was entirely supported by Mong Kok in the early days. It was only later, when the Prince of Wales Hospital found its footing, that it received any Returns.
The same goes for Portland Street. Sister Thirteen is a woman after all, and she's not good at fighting. When trouble arose, it was mostly Lin Feng and the Prince of Wales Hospital who helped out.
If Yau Tsim Mong is like this, there's no need to mention anywhere else.
Liang Kun frowned and said,
"But we can't get involved in Police Station matters."
Lin Feng looked at Liang Kun sideways:
"When did I say I wanted to interfere with the Police Force's affairs?"
Liang Kun's mouth dropped open, very unconvinced,
"You clearly said it just now!"
Lin Feng clarified:
"This wasn't what I said; don't randomly blame me."
"Police Force matters are naturally handled by the Police Force. I want to remind you that we're not at the point of letting our guard down yet; the hard times are still ahead."
Liang Kun was helpless,
"How annoying."
Lin Feng shrugged,
"This is the situation now. Whether you want to accept it or not, you have to accept it. It's not up to you."
Liang Kun clapped his hands:
"Forget it, chatting with you for a bit has completely ruined my good mood."
"You really know how to annoy me."
"I originally came to see Ah Sang. I'm leaving, I'm leaving."
Lin Feng stopped him and asked,
"How is Mong Kok?"
Liang Kun waved his hand, and Chicken quickly said,
"We've already started self-inspections of our respective territories—I hired a detective agency to do undercover investigations. Ecstasy is occasionally sold by some people, but powdered drugs are absolutely something no one dares to touch."
Lin Feng shook his head:
"Whoever sells ecstasy, that territory will be given to someone else."
"Ecstasy is just a few steps away from powdered drugs. The level of addiction is not much different compared to powdered drugs."
Chicken didn't even ask for instructions, he just agreed directly:
"Yes, I'll go back and make them scram right now."
Liang Kun frowned and said,
"Don't underestimate ecstasy. This stuff is really profitable. If you sweep the place clean like this, our income will decrease by such a large amount. This won't be easy, will it?"
Lin Feng said indifferently,
"You can open a few more convenience stores or something, and make more clean money, isn't that enough?"
Liang Kun was startled:
"What do you mean?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"What I mean is, you open a few small supermarkets, then consolidate the funds, and then deposit them into the bank. This is enough to make up for the losses caused by not being able to sell ecstasy in the venues."
Liang Kun said curiously,
"This can be deposited into the bank?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Yes, it can."
"However, there's a daily limit. A single individual store can only handle daily transactions of up to 200,000 hong kong dollars. Any more than that won't work."
It can be done this way?
Chicken said happily,
"Then we can open supermarkets all over our territories."
"Families can wash two million every day..."
"Boss, what a good business."
Liang Kun was stunned:
"Then you told me to build a cinema?"
Lin Feng looked at him, puzzled:
"Isn't this normal?"
"Look, small supermarkets have a daily transaction limit, but cinemas are different; their limit is much higher than small supermarkets."
"It's a very simple matter, isn't it?"
Chicken quickly advised,
"Boss, when it comes to making money, neither of us is a professional. Listening to Brother Feng is definitely the right thing to do."
Liang Kun thought about it and agreed:
"Alright, I'll have them do that when I get back."
Lin Feng stood up and said,
"Alright then, I'll see you out."
He had just stood up when, ding-a-ling... the phone rang urgently.
Liang Kun and Lin Feng froze simultaneously.
The two of them held their phones and exchanged glances, both surprised.
"Prince of Wales Hospital!"
"Chan Yiu!"
They both had a bad feeling and quickly moved aside to take their calls.
"Prince of Wales Hospital?"
"Ah Kun, big news! Mr. Chiang was attacked!"
"...How many years has it been? Mr. Chiang was attacked at You Gu Qi Restaurant. Didn't that happen a long time ago?"
"No, Mr. Chiang was having tea with Camel, and both of them were attacked."
"Damn it!"
"Camel and Mr. Chiang have both been sent back to their respective Triad Hospitals. Call Ah Feng and come over quickly."
On the other side, Chan Yiu had told him everything,
"Ah Feng, this is bad. Tonight, Mr. Chiang invited Camel to a teahouse for tea, and they were attacked right there in the teahouse."
Chan Yiu was almost in tears,
"Mr. Chiang's injuries are very serious. We're at the Triad Hospital; you guys hurry over."
Lin Feng hung up the phone and immediately said,
"Chiang Tin-Sung was attacked tonight. Xiao Fu, call Jian Jun, Jianguo, and the others, arrange cars, and let's go to the Triad Hospital."
Li Fu quickly made arrangements.
In the car, Liang Kun didn't smile the entire time:
"I thought these two days would be peaceful, but then something like this happened."
"Has You Gu Qi Restaurant been targeted?"
Lin Feng shook his head:
"This time it wasn't You Gu Qi Restaurant. Chan Yiu said it was at a teahouse, having evening tea."
There's morning tea, and naturally, there's evening tea; this is a custom in the Greater Bay Area.
Liang Kun was particularly speechless:
"Chiang Tin-Sung was shot at You Gu Qi Restaurant before. Didn't that teach him a lesson?"
"How did he get ambushed again?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"From Chan Yiu's tone, the knife-wielders might not have been after anyone in particular."
"Lok Bing-yun was also having tea with them at the time."
Liang Kun retorted:
"Could it have been brought on by Camel?"
"With Camel's style, who in the jianghu wouldn't give him a thumbs up?"
"I bet it's Chiang Tin-Sung who found an opponent from somewhere."
Liang Kun thought highly of Lok Bing-yun.
Camel was that kind of old-school boss, willing to take responsibility. No matter how much trouble his subordinates caused, Camel always took it upon himself.
Lin Feng understood Liang Kun's emotions. If he had had a boss who dared to take responsibility back then... the outcome of events would really be hard to say.
It's just that he doesn't have one now.
Lin Feng shook his head:
"Hard to say."
Liang Kun's eyes widened:
"What?"
"Was this really caused by Camel?"
"What kind of trouble could he cause?"
Lin Feng sighed:
"Camel is indeed a very loyal boss, but his subordinates have to work a bit harder."
"Do you remember when we negotiated with Tung Sing over Sai B's matter?"
"Situ was slapped by Camel on the spot just for saying one sentence."
"Situ is the head of Tung Sing's famous Five Tigers. Camel just slaps him, the Qing Long Hu, whenever he wants, without any regard for the occasion. That's not quite appropriate."
Liang Kun snorted coldly:
"When you're in the game, you admit your mistakes and stand at attention when you get hit."
"However, you still have to give your top subordinates some face, otherwise, he won't be able to lead his men well."
"Camel really went a bit too far."
Suddenly, Liang Kun came to his senses:
"Wait, wait!"
"You mean to say..."
"Camel might have been attacked by his own people? And Chiang Tin-Sung might have been caught in the crossfire?"
Lin Feng glanced at Liang Kun:
"I didn't say that. All of this is just your own guess."
Liang Kun was dumbfounded, letting out a strange cry:
"Holy cow, it's true!"
Lin Feng sneered:
"I'm not a police officer, why would I care about this?"
Liang Kun couldn't get an answer from Lin Feng, but that was alright. He turned to ask Li Fu and Chicken:
"What do you two think?"
Chicken said bluntly:
"Boss, I know very little about both sides. There are some things I don't understand, so I don't dare to speak carelessly."
Li Fu pondered for a moment:
"Boss Ding, don't forget who was behind Sai B's matter before."
Liang Kun was startled:
"Yiu Yeung?"
"With Yiu Yeung's volatile temper, that guy could do something like this."
"But, this is his boss,"
"Killing his boss, what good would that do him?"
"That's just too crazy."
"I don't think it's very likely."
Li Fu shrugged, imitating Lin Feng:
"Then I don't know."
Liang Kun sighed:
"We'd better have a plan, otherwise going to the Triad Hospital will be troublesome."
Chicken asked, puzzled:
"Why?"
Liang Kun looked at Lin Feng and laughed: "This kind of troublesome matter can only be left to our Brother Feng to investigate!"
***
Chapter 184: Unlucky Chiang Tin-Sung
When Lin Feng and Liang Kun, the two brothers, arrived at the Triad Hospital, it was packed with people.
Liang Kun's face immediately darkened:
"Who told you to stay here?"
"Leave a few key members, and the rest go back to your work."
Liang Kun was one of Hung Hing's wealthiest and most prestigious big brothers. With his outburst, the Triad Hospital immediately became less than half as crowded.
The two walked to the outside of the operating room, and all the Hall Masters greeted them.
Lin Feng, with his sharp eyes, noticed that Dai Fei, the person in charge of the Macau casino, had also come.
"Brother Feng, I just returned today to report on my duties. Mr. Chiang had something to do, so I went to have tea with Greyhound."
Dai Fei quickly took the initiative to report his whereabouts, seemingly to Lin Feng, but in reality, it was an explanation to all the Hall Masters.
At such a sensitive moment, for him, the person in charge of the Macau casino, to return early, if he didn't explain clearly, it could easily lead to misunderstandings.
Dai Fei didn't want anyone to suspect him.
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"It's good that you're back."
Dai Fei immediately said:
"Brother Feng, let's have tea another day."
Lin Feng shook his head:
"Let's talk about it after Mr. Chiang's surgery is done."
"Brother Yao, what exactly happened?"
Chan Yiu said with a bitter face:
"Our Hung Hing and Tung Sing actually communicate regularly. The Dragon Heads of both sides have tea together three or four times a month, mainly to exchange information and avoid misunderstandings."
Chicken, following behind Liang Kun, secretly rolled his eyes at what he heard.
If he were still at the bottom, he wouldn't believe that the high-ranking members of Hung Hing and Tung Sing were so harmonious.
Given the frequent communication between Chiang Tin-Sung and Camel, meeting three or four times a month, saying they were harmonious was an understatement.
They were as good as one person.
It was pitiful that the red lanterns and blue lanterns at the bottom of both Triads would exchange insults upon meeting, and fight at the slightest disagreement.
But what was the result?
The high-ranking members were enjoying themselves.
This was the true reality of the Triad.
What did the lowlifess at the bottom know?
Recalling the days of aimlessly hanging out with Chan Ho-Nam, Chicken felt his face burning with shame; it was truly embarrassing.
"Who knew that while the two big brothers were having tea, a team of Knife Hand suddenly appeared and attacked them."
"We were all stunned."
"By the time we reacted and came to their aid, the Knife Hand had already succeeded and then escaped by jumping off the building."
"Camel's bodyguard and I each rescued one person and quickly sent them to the Triad Hospital."
Everyone was speechless.
Brother Xin angrily said:
"In just a few days, Mr. Chiang has been ambushed twice."
"Mr. Chiang's travel plans and bodyguard arrangements are all handled by you."
"With the previous gunman ambush, you still haven't learned your lesson, and you've allowed a second accident to happen. How are you handling Chiang Tin-Sung's security?"
Brother Xin was merciless in his scolding, and Chan Yiu's face turned pale and then dark. He couldn't defend himself.
There was no way to defend it; no matter how he argued, the fact was that Chiang Tin-Sung was already in the hospital operating room, and that was the reality.
The good-natured Brother Kei played mediator:
"Ah Xin, calm down, calm down."
"Ah Yao didn't want this to happen."
Brother Xin angrily said:
"He didn't want this to happen?"
"I think he very much wanted this to happen."
"Even a fool would know to strengthen Mr. Chiang's security. Come on, tell me, what have you strengthened?"
Chan Yiu was too ashamed to speak.
Liang Kun pulled Brother Xin:
"Brother Xin, don't be so quick to criticize Ah Yao."
"When you're out in the world, if you make a mistake, you have to admit it. Ah Yao admits he was wrong."
"Once Mr. Chiang is safely out, Mr. Chiang should have an idea of how to punish Ah Yao."
Brother Xin glanced at Liang Kun and sighed heavily.
Liang Kun pulled Lin Feng:
"Ah Feng, don't just stand there without speaking."
Lin Feng reluctantly walked over to Chan Yiu:
"Brother Yao, are you sure the attackers were Knife Hand and not gunmen?"
Chan Yiu said bitterly:
"They were Knife Hand. They are experienced and very professional in their work, killing with one strike. If they miss, they turn and leave without a moment's hesitation."
Lin Feng asked again:
"Where was Mr. Chiang injured?"
Chan Yiu's face grew even more bitter:
"The liver."
The hearts of all the Hall Masters sank.
The liver was truly not a good place to be injured.
If the distance was right, one stab could be fatal.
This was no joke.
Lin Feng asked again:
"What about Camel?"
Chan Yiu shook his head:
"I don't know about that."
Brother Xin angrily said:
"Are you a dead man? You say you don't know anything when asked. I really don't know why Mr. Chiang took you out."
Chan Yiu was extremely aggrieved:
"After the gunman succeeded, he immediately retreated."
"Mr. Chiang and Camel were covered in blood."
"Situ and I both rushed to our respective big brothers. If you ask Situ if he knows about Chiang Tin-Sung, he wouldn't be able to tell you either."
Brother Xin snorted coldly, clearly still angry.
Lin Feng shrugged and looked at Liang Kun, who asked:
"When you brought Mr. Chiang here, how was his condition?"
Chan Yiu said blankly:
"His condition was okay... but in this situation, who can guarantee that Mr. Chiang's condition is okay?"
Liang Kun sighed and said directly:
"Then let's prepare for both possibilities."
"Ah Yao, you should call Chiang Tin-Yeung and inform him."
Chan Yiu hesitated:
"Mr. Chiang's life is unknown. Would it be inappropriate to call Chiang Tin-Yeung at this time?"
Brother Xin finally couldn't hold back and roared:
"Precisely because his life is unknown, that's why we need to inform Mr. Chiang in Siam."
"If something happens to Mr. Chiang in Hong Kong, and you only inform him then, do you believe he will come back and deal with you first?"
"Such a fool!"
Chan Yiu suddenly understood, took out his phone, and, sweating profusely, went to call Chiang Tin-Yeung.
Liang Kun asked Brother Kei:
"Brother Kei, you are an elder. What do you think we should do?"
Brother Kei said:
"All our Hall Masters are here. Let's ask everyone to be careful these two days."
He thought for a moment,
"We don't know who the Knife Hand are right now. The best course of action is to remain stable."
"We cannot fall into disarray."
Liang Kun immediately said:
"Brother Kei is right. All the big brothers should call their subordinates early and restrain them."
"We haven't figured anything out yet; we need to control ourselves now."
"As for the rest..."
Hon Ban smiled and patted Lin Feng's shoulder:
"The rest will depend on our Brother Feng."
Lin Feng rolled his eyes:
"Wouldn't you be better at investigating?"
Hon Ban sighed:
"I've already set a time; I'm going to my Mainland the day after tomorrow."
"In the current situation... it's very difficult to keep that appointment on time."
Lin Feng immediately knew what he was going to do:
"It shouldn't take that long."
"However, are you sure you want to give this task to me to investigate?"
Brother Kei immediately said:
"Who doesn't know the prestige of our Hung Hing's Brother Feng? I think Benny's suggestion is excellent. What do you all think?"
Sai Ngan and Dinosaur nodded repeatedly.
How could Benny's recommendation not be good?
Prince smiled and said:
"This kind of brain-intensive work, only you, Ah Feng, can handle it."
Lin Feng complained:
"What brain-intensive work?"
"This thing doesn't require any brains at all, okay?"
Sister Thirteen said with a giggle:
"This kind of expensive endeavor, only you, Brother Feng, can handle it."
"You are our Hung Hing's big financial backer."
Greyhound and Dai Fei had absolutely no objections.
Liang Kun laughed heartily:
"This is my brother, how could he not be good?"
Brother Xin and Liang Ma exchanged glances, and the latter said:
"Chiang Tin-Sung is lucky to have you protecting him like this."
Brother Xin also said:
"Ah Feng, let you investigate it. Ah Yao needs to recuse himself."
Lin Feng thought to himself, you really dare to say that.
Brother Kei thought for a moment and said:
"Ah Yao really does need to recuse himself."
"It's best for Ah Feng to investigate. Anyway, you've already investigated several times."
Lin Feng complained frantically:
"You can't just keep exploiting me, can you?"
Everyone immediately looked embarrassed.
They didn't want to either; they also wanted to show off, but the reward bounty was too expensive.
What couldn't two hundred and fifty million be used for?
Why throw it away on a reward bounty?
Even if you have money, you can't just throw it away like that, can you?
So, they just had to let Lin Feng throw it away himself, since he had experience.
Chan Yiu rushed over:
"I called Mr. Chiang, and Mr. Chiang said he's coming right away."
Everyone immediately looked at each other, not understanding the meaning.
"After Mr. Chiang received the news, he immediately wanted to come over. He's taking a night flight to get here."
Lin Feng immediately said:
"In that case, let's all wait here for Mr. Chiang."
"Hung Hing has its own traditions. Now that Chiang Tin-Yeung is coming back, we must respect his wishes."
Although Hung Hing was not like Sun Yee On, where the son succeeded the father or the brother succeeded the brother, there was theoretically a possibility for a non-Chiang family member to become the Dragon Head.
However, since a male member of the Chiang family still exists, the uncles would definitely lean towards letting a Chiang family member become the Dragon Head.
Liang Kun's purpose in having Chan Yiu call Chiang Tin-Yeung was precisely this; even if he didn't mention it, Chan Yiu would certainly inform Chiang Tin-Yeung. But there was a matter of precedence here.
Liang Kun needed to be mindful if he wanted to sit in the Chairman's position.
Li Fu led several bigwigs to bring chairs for the Hall Masters, giving them a place to sit.
Fortunately, this was the Hung Hing Triad Hospital, so they had the final say in whatever they wanted to do.
Brother Kei asked everyone:
"Who do you all think did this to Mr. Chiang?"
He asked everyone, but his gaze was fixed on Lin Feng.
All the Hall Masters looked at Lin Feng, who mumbled:
"I'm not a police officer!"
Seeing the bright, expectant eyes of the Hall Masters, Lin Feng said helplessly:
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you my guess."
Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then said:
"Anyone could have done it!"
Everyone rolled their eyes.
Lin Feng explained:
"Our Hung Hing has been doing too many things recently, our reputation is too big, and our momentum is too strong."
"Who knows how many people are targeting us, wanting to see us fall."
"For example, the mastermind behind the shooting of Mr. Chiang at the You Gu Qi Restaurant last time."
Brother Kei suddenly asked:
"Ah Feng, you took down that bounty. Did you find the killer?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Found him, yes. The killer was shot dead."
Brother Kei gave a thumbs up.
Lin Feng was speechless and quickly said:
"That person wasn't killed by me..."
Brother Kei said with a smile:
"Yes, yes, yes, you didn't kill him. You don't need to explain, I understand."
You understand my ass.
Lin Feng wanted to explain further, but he suddenly saw the ambiguous expressions on the faces of the bigwigs, and he immediately stopped wanting to speak.
What's the point of explaining? Everyone already believed he did it.
Fine, if they think he killed him, then he killed him. Richard was essentially killed by his own calculations, so indirectly, it could be considered his doing.
Lin Feng coughed, reminding them:
"The force that ambushed Mr. Chiang at the Yau Gwat Hei Restaurant last time is a behemoth. Don't bother asking me; I won't say anything."
"It's possible they instigated the hitmen to do this."
Before the Hall Masters could ask, Lin Feng raised another finger:
"In Sai B's family annihilation case, Tung Sing compensated us with a lot of money and goods. It seems the matter is resolved, but don't forget, Yiu Yeung, who paid a heavy price, has not appeared."
"He even killed Sai B's top enforcer, Chan Ho-Nam, and others to vent his anger."
"It's not out of the question that he did it."
Lin Feng immediately raised another finger:
"On the sixth day of next month—which isn't many days away—our Hung Hing will have a big event..."
"I believe everyone knows that Big D from Tsuen Wan will be joining our Hung Hing."
"Big D is the sole power in Tsuen Wan, and he's the most influential among the nine Hall Masters of Wo Luen Shing. Wo Luen Shing lost such a Hall Master and territory. Do you think they harbor resentment?"
"Would they send people to kill?"
Before the Hall Masters could fully process that, Lin Feng raised another finger,
"Furthermore, there are the remnants of the Chung Ching Society... they could also be responsible for killing Mr. Chiang."
"To be honest, for people like us who are in the underworld, our enemies are too numerous to count."
"We have to guard against old enemies, and also against those young punks who are willing to take risks to climb the ranks."
"If we don't conduct a thorough investigation, then truly anyone could be responsible."
"Just like Fatty Lai before."
The Hall Masters immediately fell silent.
Lin Feng had pointed out almost everyone and everything that needed to be mentioned.
What else could possibly be said?
Chan Yiu couldn't stop the sweat from pouring down his face.
According to Lin Feng's statement, even he himself might be a suspect.
In fact, thinking about it, his own suspicion seemed the greatest.
Chan Yiu's face was bitter. He wanted to defend himself, but after thinking about it, what method of defense was there?
There was absolutely no way.
Thinking of this, Chan Yiu felt bitter in his mouth and heart.
Brother Xin frowned and said:
"Looking at it this way, will we still need a bounty?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Not necessarily."
"Mr. Chiang has only offended a few people recently. We can just eliminate them one by one."
"No matter how cunning the criminal is, he cannot escape our pursuit."
"The hitmen who attacked Mr. Chiang can be easily found."
Chan Yiu said happily:
"I'll leave this matter to Brother Feng."
Lin Feng shook his head:
"That's not appropriate. Let's wait until Chiang Tin-Yeung arrives before discussing it."
"Our primary task is not to find out who attacked Mr. Chiang, but to maintain stability."
"Although we are all Hall Masters of Hung Hing, we are not the Dragon Head."
"Worry about what's appropriate for your position."
"Things that cross the line cannot be done."
Baki laughed heartily:
"Ah Feng, you're still the clear-headed one."
At Brother Kei's words, all the Hall Masters nodded.
In the underworld, the most important thing is to follow the rules, and clearly understand the hierarchy.
After all, Hung Hing is jointly ruled by the Dragon Head and the Twelve Hall Masters. A Hall Master is a Hall Master, not the Dragon Head.
Hon Ban looked at Liang Kun and found that the latter was completely unconcerned, which he secretly admired.
Liang Kun had openly told them that he wanted to be the Chairman and Dragon Head, but there was a precondition: he would only contend for it if the Chiang family was not in power.
When the Chiang family was present, he would absolutely not contend.
Hon Ban knew how much the lowlifess in the Triad yearned for the position of Dragon Head.
Today was a good opportunity. If Liang Kun had pushed hard, Hon Ban believed he would definitely succeed.
After all, among the entire Hung Hing Twelve Hall Masters, almost all of them were on good terms with Liang Kun. However, that would create a problem—
If Chiang Tin-Sung was fine, or if Chiang Tin-Yeung returned and opposed this resolution, it would cause a split in Hung Hing.
This was absolutely not what Liang Kun wanted to see.
So Liang Kun was willing to wait.
Hon Ban thought about himself. If he were in Liang Kun's shoes, could he wait?
It would be tough!
No,
It wouldn't just be tough, he wouldn't be able to bear it.
When an motion could almost certainly pass with just a push, why wait?
But Liang Kun waited.
"Liang Kun has great resolve and great ambition. My cooperation with him is bound to succeed."
As Hon Ban thought this, he actually calmed down.
"If Liang Kun wants to compete for the Dragon Head Chairman position, as long as he dares to propose it, I will support him."
If one day Liang Kun suddenly changed his mind and said he wanted to snatch the Dragon Head position from Chiang Tin-Sung, then Hon Ban would still support him.
For no other reason.
Hon Ban firmly believed that Liang Kun would always plan thoroughly before acting.
Ding-a-ling!
A sudden ringtone startled the Hall Masters. Lin Feng picked up his phone:
"Chief Huang, is there something you need by calling me so suddenly?"
"Let me tell you, our Hung Hing Chairman was attacked by hitmen, and I'm very angry right now."
All the Hall Masters were shocked. They all said that Lin Feng of Causeway Bay had immense influence, operating smoothly in both the underworld and the legitimate world, and it turned out to be true.
He actually frequently talked on the phone with Wong Bing-Yiu?
"Mr. Lin, I'm very sorry that such a thing happened."
"However, please, you must stay calm. Don't do anything foolish, alright?"
Wong Bing-Yiu's tone was not only weak but also carried a hint of subservience. He had been lying comfortably at home when he suddenly received a message from Chan Yan-kin, which said that the Dragon Heads of Hung Hing and Tung Sing had been suddenly attacked by hitmen while having afternoon tea.
Honestly, the moment he heard the news, Wong Bing-Yiu's head buzzed, almost exploding.
The Police Force was already overwhelmed. Whether it was Johnny Wang's matter or Fong Heung-tung's matter, they had consumed a lot of their energy.
But he never expected to hear such terrifying news just as he was about to go to sleep at night.
Panicked, Wong Bing-Yiu quickly dialed Lin Feng's number:
"Calm down, you must calm down, Mr. Lin, no matter what."
Lin Feng asked in confusion:
"Do you know who attacked our Mr. Chiang?"
Wong Bing-Yiu smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"I don't know."
Lin Feng said angrily:
"You don't even know, so what do you want us to calm down about?"
"We're not like those madmen from Chung Yee Shun who would take out their anger on others."
"But don't blame me for not warning you: if we find out who committed the crime, don't blame us for declaring war without any notice!"
