Chapter 201: Flawless Planning (Last day for double monthly votes, please vote!)
"Brother Feng, yesterday's matter is concluded. Everything went smoothly."
Li Fu, as always, prepared breakfast for Lin Feng.
Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction.
"However, Chief Huang seems a bit worried."
Li Fu quickly recounted his conversation with Wong Bing-Yiu.
"That guy, Old Huang, can be incredibly brave sometimes, and then timid as a mouse at others. It's hard to say."
"But his worry is understandable."
"Fong Heung-tung became an ICAC informant after all. He doesn't know the details of what happened, so it's natural for him to be concerned."
Lin Feng ate his shrimp dumplings nonchalantly.
The shrimp dumplings weren't made with ordinary flour, but with gluten-free flour.
Only then would the wrappers be translucent and delightfully chewy.
Lin Feng loved eating them.
"Brother Feng, the Anglo-Saxon's combat ability isn't great, but honestly, their equipment is really good."
"I wonder if we can get some?"
Lin Feng paused slightly:
"Oh, you like their equipment?"
Li Fu nodded fiercely.
At this time, Mainland's weaponry and equipment were actually behind the world's leading countries. Winning battles, big and small, was more due to the superior quality of our soldiers.
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Then let's get some."
Li Fu hesitated:
"If we go and disrupt the Anglo-Saxon Garrison's smuggling, wouldn't that be bad?"
"As soon as our Security Company shows up, almost everyone will know we were behind the case."
Lin Feng sighed:
"Xiao Fu, you've been with me for a long time. How could we make such a mistake?"
"We are a legitimate company. Thunder Security is registered with the Hong Kong Government and has the Hong Kong Government's endorsement."
"How could we steal anything?"
"Of course, we'll just buy these things directly."
Li Fu was extremely surprised:
"Buy them?"
Lin Feng said as a matter of course:
"We will definitely buy them."
Li Fu couldn't believe it:
"Someone sells these things?"
Lin Feng sighed:
"Western countries' military industrial enterprises don't just supply their own countries."
"War profiteering has always been the most exorbitant of profits."
"Let me think..."
"We can't just procure from the Anglo-Saxon one."
"Aren't there three major special forces in the world? We will procure their equipment as well."
"Comparing the equipment from all three to find what suits us best is the ideal approach."
Li Fu exclaimed:
"How much money will that cost?"
Lin Feng explained:
"The product of a Security Company is our service."
"You can't hire a robber and ask him to help you demonstrate how worthwhile our service is."
"So how do we show our strength?"
"It's actually very simple..."
"Just display our equipment."
Li Fu was stunned.
Lin Feng pointed out:
"When customers see equipment typically used by special forces or the Flying Tigers at our company, they will naturally make connections."
"It doesn't matter if they haven't witnessed our true strength, but they've certainly seen promotional videos of special forces or the Flying Tigers."
"Very naturally, customers will project us into those promotional videos."
"Although from our perspective, the Flying Tigers are just so-so, and the Anglo-Saxon Garrison's level is even below the Flying Tigers—their videos are well-produced."
"Winning trust is the most important thing; everything else is irrelevant."
Li Fu suddenly understood.
Just as Lin Feng was about to continue speaking, the phone rang.
"Brother Feng, it's Chief Huang, Wong Bing-Yiu."
Lin Feng took the phone:
"Fatty, your timing is impeccable. Calling me so early?"
Wong Bing-Yiu said with a bitter smile:
"Mr. Lin, it's already noon... What you did yesterday was truly impressive..."
Lin Feng said nonchalantly:
"This is a favor, and you need to acknowledge it."
"Our Thunder Security's reputation is paramount."
"Every colleague is striving to do their part."
Wong Bing-Yiu whispered:
"Mr. Lin, you really gave me a fright."
Lin Feng chuckled:
"Why is that?"
"We completed your commission, and you're still scared?"
"Then you must be quite fragile."
Wong Bing-Yiu quietly said:
"The people guarding Fong Heung-tung were an elite team from the ICAC's Operations Department. According to the Deputy Commissioner of ICAC, they were the elite of the elite, and they just... vanished?"
"Isn't that too humiliating a way to go?"
Lin Feng said earnestly:
"You can rest assured about my reputation."
"Thunder Security Company will absolutely shatter the darkness like thunder and will not disappoint you."
Wong Bing-Yiu quickly asked:
"Mr. Lin, that Foreigner, he was protecting Fong Heung-tung, right?"
Lin Feng nodded:
"That's right. But you can relax. Four Foreigners were killed, and Fong Heung-tung completely disappeared by the sea."
"Even if ICAC digs three feet deep, they won't find anything."
"You don't need to worry about ICAC. On this matter of Lam Ho-Tin, you no longer have any weaknesses."
Wong Bing-Yiu said with a bitter smile:
"I'm not worried about that. What I'm worried about is..."
Lin Feng asked curiously:
"What are you worried about?"
Wong Bing-Yiu whispered:
"Those three hundred people... are they really security personnel?"
Lin Feng was very calm:
"If they're not security personnel, are they special forces?"
Wong Bing-Yiu's voice trembled:
"Mr. Lin, I led a team to the scene today."
"Those ICAC Foreigners were killed with a single blow. Let alone resisting, three of them couldn't even react."
"Earlier, the Flying Tigers called me to report that they had been beaten up by Thunder Security Company, but I didn't pay attention."
"I admit, I was foolish."
"The professionalism of the operational team, deduced from the crime scene, is truly not something ordinary people can achieve."
Lin Feng was slightly smug:
"Of course. My brothers' unique skills were honed by catching monkeys."
Wong Bing-Yiu pondered for a while before quietly saying:
"Mr. Lin, do you think Mainland is planning some action in Hong Kong?"
"Can I cooperate?"
"You know, I am absolutely supportive of Mainland."
Wong Bing-Yiu's voice was unusually firm as he quickly stated his position.
Lin Feng was half choked:
"What are you thinking?"
"I'm asking you, what are you thinking?"
"Thunder Security Company is a legitimate and lawful Security Company, endorsed by the Government House..."
"I am a lawful and proper businessman. Don't go thinking about all those outlandish things."
Wong Bing-Yiu said with a mournful face:
"No one who sees that crime scene would believe what you're saying is true."
Lin Feng sneered:
"That's because they lack experience!"
Wong Bing-Yiu was exceptionally speechless:
"Mr. Lin... Is Mainland really not taking action?"
Lin Feng got annoyed:
"Do you believe I'll send Xiao Fu and his team to your place to have a 'heart-to-heart' talk with you?"
Wong Bing-Yiu shook his head with a bitter smile:
"You don't know, Kang Daohang and the others turned green as they investigated. When I told them to withdraw, they looked as if a thousand-pound burden had been lifted."
"But that Foreigner Commissioner, he was utterly bewildered."
Lin Feng countered:
"Isn't this a good thing?"
Wong Bing-Yiu paused.
"You think this was done by special forces, so the ICAC Foreigners will definitely think it was done by special forces."
"The evidence is right there!"
Wong Bing-Yiu worried:
"What if ICAC questions the Garrison?"
Lin Feng was so exasperated by Wong Bing-Yiu that he laughed:
"Then tell me, will the Anglo-Saxon Garrison admit to taking the blame for this?"
Wong Bing-Yiu shook his head:
"Certainly not!"
Lin Feng sighed:
"Then what are you still worried about?"
Wong Bing-Yiu quickly said:
"I'm worried that ICAC will change the direction of their investigation."
Lin Feng said mercilessly:
"You can rest assured, ICAC will definitely change the direction of their investigation."
Wong Bing-Yiu was terrified.
"Whether this was done by the Anglo-Saxon Garrison or not, they would never admit it."
"ICAC will absolutely not get a second answer."
"Then I ask you, if, and I mean if, if ICAC has the guts to question the Anglo-Saxon Garrison and gets such an answer, then tell me..."
"Will ICAC believe the Anglo-Saxon Garrison's reply?"
Wong Bing-Yiu paused, then suddenly came to his senses:
"It seems they wouldn't believe it!"
Lin Feng said calmly:
"It's not 'it seems,' they absolutely will not believe their reply."
"Because in the Foreigners' minds, they've already decided that this was done by the Garrison, not the Flying Tigers, nor any other force."
Wong Bing-Yiu was a little uncomfortable:
"Why couldn't it have been the Flying Tigers?"
Lin Feng chuckled:
"How could it be the Flying Tigers?"
"You have to understand, Anglo-Saxons have a kind of mysterious self-confidence. Even though they are no longer the empire on which the sun never sets, and their national power has declined, they still possess this self-confidence..."
"They won't believe that the Flying Tigers could surpass the elite Foreigners."
"This is pride etched into their bones."
"Understand?"
"You don't need to worry about it. In my opinion, the ICAC will most likely believe that Fong Heung-tung was taken away by the Anglo-Saxon Garrison."
"Even if they could break into the barracks, they wouldn't find a single hair of Fong Heung-tung."
"What you need to do now isn't to worry..."
Wong Bing-Yiu quickly asked,
"Then what should I do?"
Lin Feng said calmly,
"There's only one thing you need to do: push this case to the ICAC with all your might."
Wong Bing-Yiu thoughtfully said,
"You mean?"
Lin Feng immediately saw through Wong Bing-Yiu's thoughts:
"If I'm not mistaken, you must have been desperately trying to secure the right to investigate this case before."
"Because the one who died in that room was Fong Heung-tung."
"Don't worry, Fong Heung-tung managed to survive after replacing so many Chief, so he's not a good person."
"He's someone who won't act without seeing a rabbit first."
"So, do you understand?"
Wong Bing-Yiu suddenly realized,
"The ICAC has no evidence!"
Chief Huang cursed himself for being stupid. If the ICAC had evidence, would that Foreigner Deputy Commissioner have been bluffed by him?
He would have already caused a scene at the West Kowloon Police Headquarters!
"So..."
"I should now push this matter outwards..."
"This matter clearly involves the Anglo-Saxon Garrison. Smart people wouldn't get involved. I'm a smart person, so I shouldn't get involved, otherwise, it would be against common sense."
Lin Feng smiled and nodded,
"Exactly."
Wong Bing-Yiu praised,
"Mr. Lin, you are truly wise."
Lin Feng reminded,
"If you want to ease relations with the ICAC, you should let Kang Daohang take action."
Wong Bing-Yiu was stunned again,
"Mr. Lin... your words are a bit profound."
"I, I don't understand."
Lin Feng asked with a smile,
"Isn't Kang Daohang the team leader for Richard's case?"
Wong Bing-Yiu slowly nodded,
"Mr. Lin, Kang Daohang told me that this matter is vaguely linked to the military."
Lin Feng said amused,
"Is that so?"
Wong Bing-Yiu nodded firmly,
"Yes!"
Of course, it wasn't true. Lin Feng knew who killed Richard, and Wong Bing-Yiu naturally knew too.
However, at this moment, bringing up Richard's death alone was meaningless.
Lin Feng advised,
"If you want to ease relations with the ICAC, then let Kang Daohang announce Richard's cause of death."
Wong Bing-Yiu asked curiously,
"Wasn't Richard executed?"
Lin Feng sighed,
"Confused Chief Huang, Richard clearly... committed suicide!"
Wong Bing-Yiu was both shocked and angry,
"Mr. Lin, Richard was executed by firing squad. There's no dispute about this. Are you trying to harm me?!"
Lin Feng scoffed,
"You're being foolish."
"If you continue to investigate, that's what will harm you."
"Let me tell you, Richard's death was a suicide, perfectly fitting the needs of multiple parties."
"Firstly, although Richard was a member of the Golden Club, he was executed by the Golden Club. All relevant parties know this."
"Most importantly, we also clearly know that the Golden Club knows that we know."
"Besides that, there's one more thing..."
"Richard was a Senior Superintendent in the Political Department during his lifetime. Richard was a small figure, but the Political Department he belonged to was not a small department."
"If you don't quickly resolve Richard's matter, do you believe the Political Department won't reclaim this case?"
"And you will become a thorn in their side."
Wong Bing-Yiu said bitterly,
"But, if the conclusion is that Richard committed suicide, wouldn't people laugh us to death?"
Lin Feng rolled his eyes,
"That's a Foreigner!"
"And a Foreigner who's involved in drug trafficking, are you trying to seek justice for him?"
Wong Bing-Yiu suddenly shuddered.
Right!
What kind of person was Richard?
They had no relationship whatsoever. Was it worth offending so many important figures for Richard?
Wong Bing-Yiu was very perceptive. He sensed that Lin Feng was very interested in having Richard buried with the label of "suicide."
"Mr. Lin is right, I was confused!"
Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction,
"Is everything alright now?"
Wong Bing-Yiu was very satisfied,
"Thank you very much, Mr. Lin. I'll treat you to tea at a teahouse sometime!"
Lin Feng spat,
"Why a teahouse of all places?"
"Don't you know that Mr. Chiang and Camel were attacked at a teahouse?"
Wong Bing-Yiu inwardly cursed himself for being an idiot. He suddenly remembered something:
"Mr. Lin, The Ni Family's case is going to court tomorrow."
Lin Feng sneered,
"That's truly good news. Tomorrow, I'll have Xiao Fu buy firecrackers."
"I'll set them off first thing in the morning tomorrow."
Wong Bing-Yiu was speechless and quickly hung up the phone.
"Bringing up an unpleasant topic!"
Lin Feng pouted,
"What do I care if The Ni Family's people die? My surname isn't Ni."
"Xiao Fu, remember to buy dozens of strings of firecrackers tomorrow. I want to set them off in the morning."
Li Fu agreed and asked,
"Brother Feng, were there any problems with yesterday's matter?"
Lin Feng said indifferently,
"What problems could there be?"
"The Anglo-Saxon Garrison is here. They'll never admit it anyway, so let the ICAC investigate slowly."
"If they dare."
Li Fu didn't immediately react:
"This wasn't done by the Anglo-Saxon Garrison..."
"They definitely won't admit it."
Lin Feng laughed,
"That's where the fun is."
"We are the only ones who know the truth, so of course, we know this wasn't done by the Anglo-Saxon Garrison."
"But you have to look at the problem from the Anglo-Saxon Garrison's perspective."
"I ask you, if the ICAC or the Police Force or someone else suddenly ran to the Garrison base and asked you if you were smuggling, would you admit it?"
Li Fu said without hesitation,
"Of course not!"
Lin Feng spread his hands,
"See, the matter is concluded!"
Li Fu was stunned. What did he mean the matter was concluded?
Frowning, he pondered carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up:
"Brother Feng, do you mean that if a unit really went to the Garrison to inquire about this matter, the Garrison would instinctively think that this isn't an investigation into a murder case, but an investigation into their smuggling activities?"
Lin Feng retorted,
"Otherwise!"
"In the eyes of the Anglo-Saxon Garrison, what do they care if it's the ICAC or the Police Force?"
"Even if a Foreigner in Hong Kong was murdered, what does it have to do with them?"
"You need to know that for the Garrison, the most important thing is not anything else, but smuggling."
"If such a thing were publicly reported, it would lead to a court-martial."
"This is a lid that must be kept shut."
"Our Special Air Service equipment was obtained from the Anglo-Saxon Garrison, right?"
"The traces you left at the scene also indicate this."
Li Fu immediately said,
"We were very careful."
"No one should notice."
Lin Feng said lightly,
"There are no fools in this world."
"Xiao Fu, you must remember, never base your judgment on the enemy's stupidity."
"The development of modern technology can do many incredible things."
"The Police Force's forensics—called 'trace examination' in our Mainland—they can reconstruct the situation at the crime scene."
"Do you understand what this means?"
Li Fu was terrified.
"Will we be exposed?"
Lin Feng asked,
"Were you fully armed?"
Li Fu nodded,
"Yes!"
Lin Feng laughed,
"Then you won't be. The Police Force, or the ICAC for that matter, will investigate for a long time and realize that the perpetrators are most likely soldiers."
"And highly elite soldiers."
"Wong Bing-Yiu, the only one in the Police Force who knows, just confirmed this with his phone call."
"But he won't say anything, because Fong Heung-tung was executed at our request."
"So, if the ICAC, who is deeply investigating this case, discovers such a situation, what do you think they will do?"
Li Fu thought seriously for a moment and said admiringly,
"They'll most likely give up."
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head,
"No, no, no, not most likely, they will definitely give up."
"As long as they dare to inquire with the Garrison, the Garrison won't give them a good face... The ICAC has great power, but ultimately, they only have oversight."
Li Fu was convinced.
Just then, the phone rang.
***
Chapter 202: When you're in the game, you want to maintain your dignity! (Last day of double monthly votes, please vote!)
"Brother Feng, Boss Ding is on the phone."
Lin Feng answered the phone and said with a smile:
"Big Brother, how does it feel to be the Chairman?"
Liang Kun grunted:
"Of course it feels great."
"When I say something, no one can object."
"It's incredibly powerful."
Lin Feng just smiled.
Liang Kun also laughed:
"No more joking."
"Ah Bun called me and explained his difficulties, blah blah blah, a whole bunch of stuff."
Lin Feng asked with interest:
"What did you do?"
Liang Kun burst out laughing:
"I told him, 'To hell with that!'"
Lin Feng roared with laughter.
The two brothers, on opposite ends of the phone, laughed until tears streamed down their faces.
Liang Kun said while laughing:
"Ah Bun really thinks I'm a three-year-old kid, doesn't he? He actually tried to fool me."
"Tung Sing's family matters are none of Hung Hing's business."
"If Camel was killed by his subordinates who rebelled, then that's their bad luck."
"Out of respect for our fellow Triads, we will go to burn incense at the funeral."
"That's all!"
"But Chan Tin-hung and the others are Hung Hing's enemies."
"They must die."
"If killing a Big Brother goes unpunished, and such a precedent is set, which Big Brother would feel safe?"
"Ah Bun is ambitious, so let him experience the strength of those three ingrates himself. In any case, we, Hung Hing, cannot let this go."
"If I don't avenge Mr. Chiang, what will the brothers in the Triad think of me?"
"I can't afford to lose face like that."
Lin Feng gave a thumbs-up:
"Big Brother, you're awesome!"
Liang Kun laughed heartily:
"I've always been awesome, do you need to tell me?"
Lin Feng wondered:
"Then why are you calling me?"
Liang Kun said seriously:
"You've been smart since you were little, quick-witted, unlike me, sometimes I can't think things through."
"What should I do?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"That's easy."
"Just follow the Triad rules."
Liang Kun was startled:
"Follow the Triad rules?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Camel's first seven days haven't passed yet, so we'll give Tung Sing Triad face."
"After all, the relationship between the two Triads is pretty good."
"After the first seven days, we can start acting."
"At that time, no matter what Ah Bun and the others decide, it's none of our business."
"If Ah Bun carries out family law on Chan Tin-hung and the others, we won't intervene."
"We'll just ask Ah Bun for some compensation, that's all."
"If Ah Bun doesn't act, then I'm sorry, but we'll not only demand compensation but also the lives of Chan Tin-hung and the others!"
Liang Kun gave a thumbs-up:
"Makes sense!"
Lin Feng reminded him:
"Brother Kun, be careful recently."
Liang Kun nodded:
"I know what you're worried about. You're worried Tung Sing might change its mind?"
Lin Feng explained:
"The Tung Sing uncles really messed up this time."
"They should have directly announced Camel's cause of death to the public."
"Even if not publicly, it should have been announced internally."
"However, they failed to do so."
Liang Kun shrugged:
"Family shame shouldn't be aired publicly, right?"
Lin Feng sneered:
"That's not the problem. The problem is that they elected Ah Bun as the new Chairman."
Liang Kun was puzzled:
"Ah Bun is very capable. Even Camel had to listen to him."
"Is there a problem with him being Chairman?"
Lin Feng shook his head:
"There's nothing else, but the timing is crucial."
"Ah Bun became Chairman after Camel's death… What do you think Chan Tin-hung and the others will think?"
Liang Kun was genuinely puzzled:
"The Tung Sing Chairman selection was the choice of the uncles. Ah Bun already has a very high reputation in Tung Sing…"
Lin Feng interrupted Liang Kun:
"Big Brother, you're too kind-hearted… Camel was clearly killed by those three juniors who betrayed their master. They took such a big risk and did something so taboo, what do you think they were aiming for?"
"Wasn't it the Chairman position?"
"But the Chairman position didn't fall into the hands of any of Chan Tin-hung's three factions. What do you think those three will think?"
Liang Kun's mouth dropped open:
"…Will these guys become enraged?"
Lin Feng sneered:
"Those three guys are crazy; they might even kill Ah Bun!"
Liang Kun shook his head:
"Impossible!"
"Crow, Lui Yiu-Yeung, and Smiling Tiger are indeed powerful, but they can't succeed if Ah Bun is prepared."
"Cheuk Kolok is Tung Sing's number one Red Pole."
"Leopard's strength is also not weak."
"Besides that, Ah Bun also holds the moral high ground in Tung Sing. Normally, Crow wouldn't stand a chance against them."
Lin Feng mocked:
"Big Brother, you said 'normally.' So I ask you, is this a normal situation now?"
Liang Kun was full of questions:
"What?"
Lin Feng sighed:
"Do Chan Tin-hung and the others know that their act of patricide has been exposed?"
Liang Kun scoffed:
"Of course they don't know. If they knew, they would either completely rebel against Tung Sing or run away. How could they still be in the mood to wear mourning clothes for Camel and pretend to be filial sons and grandsons?"
As he spoke, Liang Kun's mouth dropped open again.
Lin Feng smiled:
"You see, that's where the beauty of the situation lies."
"Chan Tin-hung and the others don't know their predicament. The three of them assume no one will see through their little scheme."
"These three guys fully believed that after successfully killing their master, the Dragon Head position would fall to one of the Five Tigers, but they didn't expect to be making wedding clothes for someone else."
"I imagine the resentment in their hearts must be soaring to the heavens."
"Anyone would find that unbearable."
"If Ah Bun handles it a bit slowly, I bet they'll explode."
Liang Kun came back to his senses and laughed:
"What does Tung Sing's rise or fall have to do with us?"
"I just need to fulfill my promise."
"The Hung Hing brothers are all waiting to see my actions."
"We're brothers for life, you have to help me."
Lin Feng said without hesitation:
"We're brothers for life, of course I'll help you."
"However, haven't you moved your family yet?"
"It's your business if you live in Repulse Bay, but you don't need to invite Old Mother there too, do you?"
Liang Kun hesitated:
"I think Repulse Bay is pretty good."
The Hung Hing Dragon Head truly didn't want to move.
At first, when he saw the congratulatory gift from Lin Feng, Liang Kun was very happy—a villa on Victoria Peak, what great face was that?
But after the excitement wore off, his hair stood on end.
If he really moved to Victoria Peak, wouldn't he be neighbors with Lin Feng?
It's actually quite nice for two brothers to be neighbors.
The key issue was—Old Mother and Lin Feng would meet more frequently.
Then, she would also meet Lin Feng's wives and the little ones he adopted more frequently.
This was not a good thing for Liang Kun.
He would be scolded to death by Old Mother every day!
Moving… Heh, this junior definitely wants to see me get a lecture.
"Don't want to move?"
"Why bring that up!"
Liang Kun rolled his eyes hard.
"If I don't move, I don't move. Anyway, Repulse Bay isn't far from Victoria Peak, but I have to send a security team for Old Mother."
Lin Feng said solemnly.
Liang Kun's heart skipped a beat:
"No need, right…"
Lin Feng said faintly:
"Before, when you and I were just Hung Hing Hall Masters, a few brothers were enough for Old Mother's security."
"It's different now."
"The Leader position is a dangerous one; countless people are eyeing it."
"Even if our Hung Hing is united, there are too many people in the Triad world who want you dead."
"If they can't get to you, are they also unable to get to Old Mother?"
Liang Kun fell silent.
"Big Brother, you becoming Chairman is a good thing, but we can't let a good thing turn bad, don't you agree?"
Liang Kun gritted his teeth:
"Alright, you can send a security team… How did Mr. Chiang get Wang Jianjun and Lok Tin-hung? He doesn't have that much face, does he?"
"How about recalling one of them?"
Lin Feng was speechless:
"Big Brother, are you being silly?"
"This is specifically done for the Triad world to see."
"When Mr. Chiang recovers, they will naturally be recalled."
"I have arrangements for Old Mother."
Liang Kun finally nodded in satisfaction:
"I knew it, you sly little devil, you'll definitely arrange everything well."
"However, act quickly on the Tung Sing matter…"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Can't be quick."
"Before Camel's first seven days, we shouldn't think about doing anything to Chan Tin-hung and the others."
Liang Kun felt a great headache.
If he hadn't become Chairman, he wouldn't think so much. Crow, Tung Sing Five Tigers, just chop them down!
However, after taking the Chairman seat, he inevitably started to consider things more.
This was what Ah Feng often said: your position determines your perspective.
You have to consider things appropriate for the position you hold.
Hung Hing can, of course, directly send troops to Tung Sing. Debts must be paid, and a life for a life!
However, if that happens, the camaraderie between the two Triads will be gone, and Hung Hing's reputation in the jianghu will collapse.
No matter what, it hasn't even been seven days since Camel died.
How can we make a big move during Camel's funeral?
Liang Kun said fiercely:
"I knew Ah Bun was up to no good."
"He must know that we definitely won't let Camel leave without dignity, which is why he dares to drag this out."
Lin Feng said leisurely:
"If Ah Bun really thinks that, then that's great."
Liang Kun was startled. From his understanding of Lin Feng, he clearly knew that Lin Feng had another idea:
"Ah Feng, what are you going to do?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Dignity is mutual."
"If we give him dignity and he doesn't want it, then we'll help them get it."
Liang Kun asked:
"How do you plan to do it?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"That depends on what Ah Bun wants to do."
Liang Kun shook his head:
"Forget it, forget it, I won't bother you anymore. I have to go socialize."
Lin Feng asked curiously:
"Socialize?"
Liang Kun laughed:
"Big D said that Lam Wai Lok invited him to be a middleman and wants to treat me to drinks."
Lin Feng asked, puzzled:
"Lam Wai Lok is a fox... what does he want to do?"
Liang Kun laughed loudly:
"I don't care what he does, as long as I don't get taken advantage of, I'll go drink with them!"
"I'll leave the Tung Sing matter to you."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Alright, have fun, Boss!"
Lam Wai Lok is an absolute old fox, and Big D won't be able to outplay him.
However, Liang Kun is no pushover either. In terms of intelligence, the two are evenly matched. Plus, with Li Jie by Liang Kun's side, there's no need to worry about Liang Kun suffering a loss.
Lin Feng thought for a moment and called Ah Bun:
"Uncle Ben, I'm Lin Feng."
Uncle Ben laughed:
"Who in the jianghu doesn't know Lin Feng, the Tiger of Causeway Bay?"
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head:
"You're flattering me."
"I don't even appear in Causeway Bay. Our Hung Hing's presence in Causeway Bay is much lower than your Tung Sing's."
Uncle Ben's smile froze.
He was right; if you talk about which Triad has a presence in Causeway Bay, it's really Tung Sing, not Hung Hing.
Triads, these things, only show their presence through chaos.
Thanks to Sun Yee On's assistance, there are now only two Triads in Causeway Bay: Hung Hing and Tung Sing.
After Lin Feng took charge of Causeway Bay, he only established a Thunder Security Company there. He didn't touch Hung Hing's original forces in Causeway Bay at all.
His only action was to make Hung Hing, like other businesses in Causeway Bay, sign an employment agreement with Thunder Security Company.
Then he transformed the members of Hung Hing's Causeway Bay branch into workers.
Yes, you read that right, the disciples of the Causeway Bay branch are completely different from those in other branches.
They have to go to work, they have to work, and they also receive their wages.
You ask if they are willing to do this kind of work—only a fool wouldn't be!
What decent person would join a Triad?
Isn't it only when there's no other way that people join?
It's good if you follow a good Boss, but if you meet a Boss like Crow, who likes to flip tables at the drop of a hat, you'll really go hungry for days.
Furthermore, being a Young and Dangerous sounds impressive, but it's only impressive in name.
But in reality?
It's just so-so.
What's the use of sounding impressive?
It's useless.
When their parents talk about it, they can't even face people.
After all, joining a Triad is not the right path.
For example, when Chicken followed Chan Ho-Nam, all of Si B's attention was on Chan Ho-Nam. What was Chicken?
Si B would give Chan Ho-Nam anything good, what did Chicken get?
You know, Chicken could be considered Chan Ho-Nam's top lieutenant.
In a Triad, it's always the middle and upper echelons who benefit.
The lower-level lowlifess are just getting by.
After Lin Feng's reorganization, almost everyone in Causeway Bay applauded.
They were still Young and Dangerous, but they had a legitimate job, didn't have to worry about where their next meal was coming from, could have a proper relationship, and could maintain dignity in front of their parents.
Who doesn't want dignity in life?
Lin Feng gave these lowlifess dignity.
For example, Dai Tau is now Lok Tin-hung's top lieutenant.
When Lok Tin-hung is not around, Dai Tau manages the vast Causeway Bay businesses.
Note that Li Fu's job is completely different from theirs.
Li Fu is the Chairman of Thunder Security, the person hidden behind Lok Tin-hung and Dai Tau.
When Lok Tin-hung and his team don't need them, Thunder Security goes to work for other clients. If someone comes knocking and Lok Tin-hung and Dai Tau can't handle it, then Li Fu steps in.
This hierarchical structure has made Causeway Bay, under Hung Hing's control, exceptionally stable.
Lok Tin-hung and Dai Tau also work with peace of mind—if we can't handle it, isn't Thunder Security behind us?
Then Hung Hing became terrifyingly stable.
So how does Tung Sing operate?
Other branches operate exactly as Situ still operates them.
Chaos and conflict are naturally unavoidable.
Especially when compared to Hung Hing, this chaotic state is even more apparent.
The businesses on Tung Sing's territory are looking at the other side with envious drool almost dripping.
They really want to sign several security agreements with Thunder Security Company.
This is especially true for businesses at the border between the two Triads, because they were surprised to find that businesses on the Hung Hing side could talk back to Tung Sing!
Talking back to a Triad, isn't that asking to die?
However, after the other party talked back, Tung Sing did nothing.
Those businesses then knew—Thunder Security is really awesome!
Who doesn't know what Triads are like?
But now, they are being talked back to by Thunder Security Company... in front of customers, and they don't dare to speak.
How terrifying is that?
But wanting to easily switch allegiances is impossible.
Tung Sing would never allow anyone to do such a thing.
So, naturally, merchants under Tung Sing's control are full of complaints.
Situ is Uncle Ben's confidant, so how could he not know this:
"Mr. Lin may not be in the jianghu, but your legends are everywhere in the jianghu."
Ah Bun chuckled, glossing over the matter. If possible, he genuinely didn't want to deal with Lin Feng. He would rather talk to Liang Kun on the phone than hear Lin Feng's voice.
However, things didn't go as planned. It was clear that Hung Hing had entrusted a certain matter to Lin Feng.
"Mr. Lin, I know what you want to talk about... but my Tung Sing has its difficulties."
Lin Feng smiled:
"Uncle Ben, you are an elder in the jianghu, and you understand the rules of the jianghu best."
"Debts must be paid, and a life for a life—those are the basics."
"You also know what our foundation is when we're out here."
"We are out here for loyalty and righteousness, following the path of Lord Guan."
"Now someone is digging up our roots. Do you think this can be allowed?"
Ah Bun was silent, and after a long while, he said:
"Camel's matter... the uncles of Tung Sing have their own plans. This is our Tung Sing's family matter..."
Lin Feng said coldly:
"No, it's not just your family matter anymore."
"Do you know what I thought when I heard about this?"
"Chilling!"
"If betraying one's master and annihilating one's ancestors can lead to a high position, which of us Bosses will be able to sleep peacefully in the future?"
"My Hung Hing won't be able to sleep."
"I think Sun Luen Shing won't be able to sleep either."
"Wo Luen Shing won't be able to sleep even more, and Wo Hing Shing is pretty much the same."
"Sun Yee On and Chung Yee Shun... do you think they'll be able to sleep?"
Uncle Ben's brows furrowed tighter the more he listened.
Is this an F-ing threat to me?
Hung Hing, Sun Luen Shing, Wo Luen Shing, Wo Hing Shing... aren't they all Triads friendly with your Hung Hing?
However, the more he listened, the more alarmed he became. When Chung Yee Shun's name was called out, Uncle Ben could no longer maintain his composure and angrily said:
"Are you trying to bluff me?!"
Lin Feng sneered:
"Why would I bluff you?"
"Listen to me clearly, I'm just telling the truth!"
"Uncle Ben, our Hung Hing seeks dignity."
"If Tung Sing is reasonable, then we are still friendly Triads."
"If Tung Sing doesn't want to give our Hung Hing dignity, we'll take back our dignity ourselves!"
