Chapter 295: Jin Mao is Worth Betting On
After leaving the banquet, Jiang Chengyu pondered for a while, then made a phone call and went straight to Lin Feng's house.
"Mr. Lin, I heard that Hung Hing is reorganizing. Why not hand over the legal business to our law firm?"
Jiang Chengyu got straight to the point and made his request.
Lin Feng took out a cigar. Jiang Chengyu quickly stood up, took the cigar box, pulled out two, trimmed them, offered one to Lin Feng, and put the other in his own mouth.
He then casually put the cigar box into his pocket.
Lin Feng stared at the scene, dumbfounded:
"You're pretty smooth with that move!"
Jiang Chengyu chuckled:
"A hundred-dollar cigar? I wouldn't dare buy one."
"Mr. Lin's cigars taste better."
With that, he exhaled a puff of smoke.
"It really is fragrant, good stuff!"
Lin Feng jokingly scolded him:
"You're the boss of the biggest law firm in Hong Kong, yet you have no ambition."
Jiang Chengyu said seriously:
"If it weren't for Mr. Lin, I'd probably still be running cases with Yu Zaichun."
"We often say that meeting Mr. Lin was the luckiest thing in our lives."
Lin Feng pouted:
"Oh, come on. We're grown men; don't be so mushy."
"But your news is quite well-informed. You actually know about Hung Hing's reorganization."
Jiang Chengyu didn't hide anything:
"I met Brother Fu at the hotel. After I helped him recruit someone for the law firm, Brother Fu told me the news."
Lin Feng's heart stirred, and the flames of gossip burned brightly:
"You two are both my capable subordinates, and your relationship is usually quite close."
"Xiao Fu even actively made conditions with you?"
"That's not normal!"
Jiang Chengyu chuckled:
"I also thought it wasn't normal."
"But Brother Jun's words enlightened me."
Lin Feng became even more interested:
"What did he say? Tell me!"
Jiang Chengyu's face showed a smile that all men understood:
"Brother Jun said that Brother Fu might be in love."
Lin Feng perked up:
"That rigid guy is in love?"
"Is that true or false?"
Jiang Chengyu nodded vigorously:
"It's true."
Lin Feng frowned slightly:
"That shouldn't be. He's with me all day, and I haven't seen him exchanging glances with any girl. Could it be a mistake?"
Jiang Chengyu quickly said:
"No, no, I've seen that girl."
"Tall, with a very sharp figure, especially her looks—as pure as an angel."
"What's particularly rare is her short hair."
"With that appearance, you'd say she's a model rather than a lawyer."
"She's stunning!"
Lin Feng's expression became peculiar:
"Is that pretty girl surnamed Yue?"
Jiang Chengyu nodded vigorously:
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"This girl is good in every way, except her background isn't great."
"However, heroes don't ask about origins, and pretty girls don't need to be asked either."
"I think these two are quite a match."
"It's just a pity that the pretty girl's father seems to be involved in a big trouble."
"There were too many people in the hotel, so I didn't find it convenient to ask."
"Mr. Lin, do you know?"
Lin Feng chuckled:
"There's little news in Hong Kong that I don't know."
Jiang Chengyu raised an eyebrow:
"So, can Brother Fu and this girl make it work?"
Lin Feng playfully scolded:
"I'm not the God of Marriage; how can I control that?"
"However, from what I see, it's eighty percent likely."
Jiang Chengyu was startled:
"The probability is that high?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Xiao Fu is doing a great deed of saving lives, and he saved her life. Isn't it natural for her to pledge herself to him?"
Jiang Chengyu was stunned:
"I thought Miss Qi Qi looked very innocent. How could she attract such a deadly disaster?"
Lin Feng shook his head:
"The disaster wasn't brought on by Qi Qi; it was brought on by her Young and Dangerous father."
Jiang Chengyu was taken aback:
"Yue Lu?"
"He's quite an interesting character."
Lin Feng asked curiously:
"You and Yue Lu only met tonight, right? How did you come to that conclusion?"
Jiang Chengyu recounted the story.
Lin Feng suddenly understood:
"No wonder."
"Those involved in a Triad generally don't want their children to follow in their footsteps."
"Just like the first Dragon Head of Sun Yee On."
"He cultivated his children into elites in various industries, and even handed over the Triad's power directly to Old Xu to manage."
"However, to admit one's identity as a small-time hoodlum in public, especially in tonight's setting, is not something an ordinary person would do."
"Perhaps he felt he was going to die and didn't want to leave any stain on his daughter."
"He's quite a man."
Jiang Chengyu was even more puzzled:
"Is the situation very troublesome?"
Lin Feng suddenly asked:
"Did Xiao Fu ask you about Ye Jian?"
Jiang Chengyu was surprised:
"He did."
"That Ye Jian manages the fund of the Okamoto family's consortium, but that fund is abnormal; it seems to be a Triad fund."
A Triad is not necessarily a criminal organization, and a criminal organization is not necessarily a Triad.
However, most Triads have taken the blame for criminal organizations.
Lin Feng said indifferently:
"This morning, Tsukamoto Do was found dead in his own hotel."
"He was murdered."
"The killer took him out through bulletproof glass."
"The revenge fund managed by Ye Jian was thus activated."
"Top-ranked assassins from around the world will gather in Hong Kong, fighting for the one hundred million dollar reward."
Jiang Chengyu still didn't understand:
"What does that have to do with Yue Lu?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Xiao Fu and Jian Jun were ordered by me to investigate this matter."
"Hung Hing Group is reorganizing, and we need to gradually go legitimate. We cannot allow Hong Kong to be in chaos at this time."
"This fund is causing trouble!"
"So, we have to stop them."
"The sooner this matter is resolved, the sooner the underworld can return to peace."
Jiang Chengyu immediately felt the same way:
"The underworld has been crazy these past two days. At the same time, three of the top ten Triads are holding funerals."
"I've lived this long, but I've never seen such a chaotic scene."
"But... what does it have to do with Yue Lu?"
Lin Feng sighed:
"Don't you understand? The fact that Li Fu and Wang Jianjun could find Yue Lu means he is highly suspected."
Jiang Chengyu was startled:
"That's impossible, right?"
"With Yue Lu's physique, could he kill the Okamoto conglomerate through bulletproof glass?"
Lin Feng chuckled:
"You can't judge a book by its cover."
Jiang Chengyu frowned:
"Was it really this guy who did it?"
Lin Feng flatly denied it:
"No!"
"Otherwise, Xiao Fu and Jian Jun wouldn't have let Yue Lu run around, nor would they have gone with him to see Qi Qi."
"However, based on the superficial evidence, Yue Lu is the prime suspect."
"He can't get out of this."
Jiang Chengyu finally breathed a sigh of relief:
"Then I'll hide Qi Qi tomorrow."
"After the matter is settled, she can resume normal work."
Lin Feng asked in surprise:
"Hide Qi Qi?"
Jiang Chengyu explained:
"Brother Fu asked me to do it. He told me not to arrange any outside work for Qi Qi starting tomorrow, and just have her stay in the law firm."
Lin Feng chuckled:
"Then you should arrange a good barrister to mentor Qi Qi, and make sure it's not that pervert Yu Zaichun."
Jiang Chengyu immediately said:
"It definitely won't be Yu Zaichun."
"That guy is a playboy; he flirts with everyone."
Lin Feng clapped his hands:
"Xiao Fu is our good brother; we must help with his happiness."
Jiang Chengyu chuckled:
"It's a good opportunity for me to butter up Xiao Fu."
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow,
"Then you really should butter him up, after all, he's my number one assistant."
Jiang Chengyu said shamelessly:
"Actually, I'd rather butter up Brother Feng, but I rarely get to see you, so I can only settle for second best."
The two looked at each other and burst out laughing.
However, these words were very apt.
Although Jiang Chengyu was also one of Lin Feng's trusted aides, his importance was absolutely not comparable to Li Fu's. Take Yue Lu's matter, for example.
Lin Feng would not tell Jiang Chengyu the truth of the matter, and of course, Jiang Chengyu did not need to know.
Jiang Chengyu's law firm handled logistical work, completely unlike Li Fu, who often had to go to the front lines to risk his life.
Both of them were aware of this.
Lin Feng clapped his hands and laughed:
"I'll definitely have Xiao Fu bring Qi Qi over to see me later."
"He's from Mainland, so I, as his boss, am like his elder."
"The ugly daughter-in-law always has to meet her in-laws, after all."
Jiang Chengyu asked:
"Mr. Lin, how exactly will Hung Hing be reorganized?"
Lin Feng explained:
"We are going to establish a real company."
Jiang Chengyu was greatly energized; this was a big project.
"Specifically, we need to strip away those violent traditional industries."
"For example, usury—we can only arrange for it to be lent within the legally permitted scope."
"And for the others, like hotels and nightclubs, they will all be consolidated into a single group."
"Anyway, everything will be uniformly planned and uniformly operated."
"This will greatly reduce operating costs and also allow us to increase efficiency."
"Of course, the most important thing is legitimacy."
"Hung Hing will only do legitimate business from now on."
Jiang Chengyu's eyes were already sparkling; the legal business of a large group could keep his law firm overflowing with work.
"Mr. Lin, our law firm also has your shares, so this business must be given to me."
Lin Feng chuckled and scolded, "It will definitely be given to you."
"But you have to visit Brother Kun first. Once he agrees, I can exert my efforts."
"Actually, the restructuring of Hung Hing can't be done without the effort of your law firm."
"Some professional matters require you to handle them."
"Let me tell you in advance, it will be very tiring."
Jiang Chengyu said seriously, "Those of us in this line of work are never afraid of being tired; we are only afraid of having nothing to do, which would mean starving to death."
Lin Feng smiled and pointed at him, "As long as this one business deal is successful, you won't have to worry about going hungry in the future."
Jiang Chengyu asked, "Mr. Lin, in your plan, what is the positioning of Hung Hing's restructuring?"
Lin Feng looked at Jiang Chengyu with appreciation, "You are as sharp as ever."
"I have a clear positioning for Hung Hing Group."
"My goal is to have Hung Hing listed within three to five years."
Hiss!
Jiang Chengyu gasped, and after realizing what he heard, his face was filled with excitement, "If we really get the business of Hung Hing Group, won't we be rich?!"
Lin Feng glanced at him disdainfully, "Where are we now?"
"If you have the ability, take on that Jin Mao's case from today as well, and maybe you can go global."
Jiang Chengyu was stunned, "Today's Jin Mao?"
"Are you referring to Mr. Donald from America?"
Lin Feng retorted, "Otherwise?"
Jiang Chengyu said with a wry smile, "I would like to do his case."
"But as far as I know, he trusts Americans more, doesn't he?"
Lin Feng asked, "Do American lawyers know the laws of Hong Kong and Asia as well as you do?"
Jiang Chengyu was very confident, "The lawyers in our law firm are the best."
Lin Feng smiled, "Then isn't that enough?"
"Jin Mao is a very ambitious fellow. If he wants to climb higher, he has to come to Asia and work hard."
Jiang Chengyu was surprised, "Donald is considered a big businessman in America, isn't he?"
Lin Feng shook his head, "Jin Mao is a successful businessman, but not a big businessman."
"In America, true big businessmen always control public opinion."
"Jin Mao is still far from that."
Jiang Chengyu suddenly became interested, "What level is Mr. Donald in America?"
Lin Feng thought for a moment, "In America, the truly top businessmen are the guys from Zion, who control the deepest levels of the American government."
"Next are the overt big American conglomerates, like the Rockefellers."
"After that are the big corporations."
"And then there are ordinary businessmen like Jin Mao."
Jiang Chengyu was dumbfounded, "Is Mr. Donald's rank that low?"
Lin Feng used a modern example, "In our Mainland, the top tier of the Qing Dynasty were the Red-Hat Merchants, then the Bondservants, and Donald doesn't even count as a Bondservant."
"To reach the top, he would at least have to become a Bondservant first."
Jiang Chengyu frowned, "Is America that dark?"
Lin Feng said bluntly, "Every country in the world has its own operating rules. Just like when people from our Mainland venture into the Western world, no matter what, they can't reach the highest level."
"Do you know why?"
Jiang Chengyu said solemnly, "The class ceiling!"
Lin Feng clapped his hands, "Exactly, the class ceiling."
"People from our Mainland are the most ambitious and the most hardworking."
"It's a pity we are too civilized, otherwise, what would those barbarians have to do?"
Jiang Chengyu said in astonishment, "Mr. Lin, why don't I understand what you mean?"
"What does this have to do with us being too civilized?"
Lin Feng sighed, "It has a lot to do with it."
"What do people from our Mainland do if they can't surpass others?"
Jiang Chengyu said without hesitation, "Reflect, diligently improve their business, and then surpass them."
Lin Feng shrugged, "But you will find that in the Western workplace, this approach doesn't work."
"Your leaders are basically loud-mouthed, boastful guys whose professional level is inferior to yours."
"This is limited by civilization."
Jiang Chengyu frowned in thought but still shook his head, "I haven't clearly grasped the logical relationship here."
Lin Feng thought for a moment and changed his words, "What is the word Westerners often have on their lips?"
"Leadership!"
"What is leadership? For us civilized people, it might be someone who is morally flawless, highly accomplished, and leads by example."
Jiang Chengyu asked doubtfully, "Isn't it?"
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, "No."
"Westerners' leadership and the leadership we perceive are two completely different things."
"The leadership that people from our Mainland believe in is mostly about individual ability."
"This might work in our Mainland, but in the Western world, it definitely won't work."
At this point, Lin Feng was quite disdainful.
"How many years has the Western world been civilized?"
"They haven't even nurtured their own civilization."
"They constantly bring up ancient Greece, but that rigid hierarchy is too crude."
"If you really compare, India's caste system is more refined than theirs."
"Actually, both are essentially the same at their core."
Jiang Chengyu's mind was in a whirl.
Lin Feng suddenly asked, "What do you think of Jin Mao?"
Jiang Chengyu hesitated for a moment but still spoke truthfully, "Mr. Donald likes to brag."
"His catchphrase is, 'No one understands… better than me.'"
"Actually, he doesn't understand anything."
Lin Feng asked, "Then tell me, can such a person succeed in Hong Kong?"
Jiang Chengyu decisively shook his head, "Impossible!"
"Who would trust someone who brags?"
Lin Feng corrected him, "Here, Jin Mao's behavior is bragging."
"In the Western world, that's called having leadership."
Jiang Chengyu was dumbfounded, "So, having leadership means speaking loudly and bragging?"
Lin Feng was too lazy to correct him, "To some extent, this indeed shows that the person is confident enough and dares to take responsibility."
"Anyway, they don't have to be responsible for wrong decisions."
Jiang Chengyu felt his worldview shattered, and after realizing what he heard, he suddenly said, "Mr. Lin, according to you, Mr. Donald has a great future."
Lin Feng smiled and nodded, "Great minds think alike."
"As long as this guy can grow smoothly, I think he might ascend to a high position."
Jiang Chengyu clutched his heart and said, "That's too unbelievable."
"If one day Mr. Donald truly becomes the leader of America, I would even believe you if you said this world is fake!"
"How could Mr. Donald possibly become the leader of America?"
Lin Feng said seriously, "Who dares to draw conclusions about the future?"
"People with foresight will enjoy prosperity for generations!"
Jiang Chengyu gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Lin, I trust your judgment. I think Donald is a mid-life potential stock."
"I'm going to find him right now and invite him for a drink tonight."
Lin Feng smiled, "You're going to bet on him?"
Jiang Chengyu said seriously, "When Lu Buwei met Ying Yiren back then, he said—'A rare commodity to be hoarded.'"
"Then Lu Buwei became a famous prime minister."
"I don't ask for anything else; I just ask that my law firm's business can smoothly expand in America."
Lin Feng found it quite amusing, "Then hurry up and go."
Jiang Chengyu stood up, bowed to Lin Feng, and left, led by Wang Jianguo.
Wang Jianguo returned and asked, "Boss, does Brother Fu really have a partner?"
Lin Feng chuckled and scolded, "There's not even a hint of it yet; why are you so excited?"
Wang Jianguo winked, "Brother Fu is the most serious person; he actually has a partner? Unbelievable."
Lin Feng sighed, "What do you guys really think Xiao Fu is?"
Wang Jianguo blurted out, "Li Heshang!"
Lin Feng was utterly speechless and retorted, "If Xiao Fu knew he had such a nickname, what do you think he would do?"
Wang Jianguo panicked, "Boss, you wouldn't sell me out, would you?"

Chapter 296: Intelligent Qi Qi
"Are we staying here tonight?"
Yue Lu and Qi Qi looked at the large house in front of them in disbelief.
This was none other than Li Fu's residence in Mid-Levels.
Li Fu gave them a strange look:
"Otherwise, where would we be?"
Yue Lu said, lacking confidence:
"At my house."
Li Fu pointed casually:
"Let's not even talk about whether your home is big enough for all of us..."
Yue Lu immediately said:
"It's definitely not enough."
His room was at most twenty square meters; how could it be enough for six people?
Li Fu said calmly:
"You are deeply tied to Uncle Liang. Any assassin with a bit of hacking knowledge or connections in the banking system could easily find your residence."
"Are you sure you still want to go home?"
"Of course, if you're not afraid of assassins capturing you to claim credit from the Tsukamoto Foundation, then go ahead."
Yue Lu panicked: "Why would they capture me?!"
Wang Jianjun sneered:
"Many people saw Uncle Liang recruiting assassins, and some even took action, but only you explicitly told Uncle Liang you accepted the job."
"And only to you, Uncle Liang gave all his family's assets."
Yue Lu was on the verge of tears.
Heaven knew he only wanted to brag; who would have thought it would actually come true?
Qi Qi, who had been silent, suddenly said:
"Why don't you hand my father over to the Tsukamoto Foundation?"
Yue Lu was stunned.
Li Fu smiled:
"How do you know we won't take your father to claim a reward?"
Qi Qi shook her head, her beautiful face composed:
"If you really intended to take my father to claim credit, you wouldn't have brought us back to your residence."
"You are a rich person..."
Li Fu shook his head slightly:
"I'm not considered rich."
Yue Lu said with a bitter smile:
"Boss, this is a house in Victoria Peak. You still say you're not rich?"
"There are too many rich people in Hong Kong, but not many can buy a house for themselves in Mid-Levels."
Li Fu shrugged:
"Just Mid-Levels, not Victoria Peak."
"Besides, this house wasn't bought by me; it was given to me by my boss."
Yue Lu chuckled:
"Keep pretending. Why didn't your boss give him a set too?"
As luck would have it, Yue Lu was pointing at Wang Jianjun.
Li Fu said, amused:
"How do you know he didn't?"
Yue Lu was stunned, looking at Wang Jianjun in disbelief, asking for confirmation:
"Really?"
Wang Jianjun said calmly:
"Of course, Brother Fu and I live next door."
Yue Lu was quite shocked. After a long while, he reacted and sighed:
"As expected of Brother Feng!"
"He's really generous."
"The rumors in the Triad are absolutely true."
Qi Qi frowned and said:
"Dad, I don't understand."
Yue Lu explained:
"These two bosses are famous figures in the Triad."
"High-ranking members of Thunder Security."
"They actually both work for Lin Feng."
"Lin Feng is the Hall Master of Hung Hing Causeway Bay, and Hung Hing is one of the Top Ten Gangs."
Yue Lu was deeply shaken, his words somewhat incoherent.
Qi Qi understood, realizing:
"It's him?!"
"No wonder you were able to arrange a job for me with Mr. Jiang."
Yue Lu was startled:
"You know Mr. Lin?"
Qi Qi nodded:
"I know him."
"Mr. Lin is a famous boss, and Thunder Security is very popular with Tycoons now."
"Our law firm met a Tycoon in Hong Kong through a case, and he now wants to hire Thunder Security's personnel to protect his life."
"I heard that Tycoons in Hong Kong are not having an easy time now."
Wang Jianjun laughed:
"The big Tycoons in Hong Kong are not having an easy time, but the small Tycoons are doing alright."
"The criminals are not targeting every Tycoon, but rather the big Tycoons."
Yue Lu's eyes widened:
"No..."
"How comfortable are the big Tycoons in Hong Kong living? Their lives aren't easy?"
"If their lives aren't easy, then what we're living isn't called life."
Wang Jianjun pouted:
"Even if a big Tycoon's life isn't easy, it's still a hundred times better than yours."
"At least they were blackmailed for 1.04 billion, and they paid it without batting an eye. If it were you... never mind if you could pay, do you even have that much money?"
Yue Lu was almost scared stiff by Wang Jianjun's casual remark:
"What? 1.04 billion?"
Wang Jianjun explained:
"A Tycoon was targeted by Cheuk Tze-keung, who kidnapped his eldest son. The police knew about it and wanted to help rescue him."
"The Tycoon feared for his son's life and painstakingly gathered 1.04 billion in old banknotes to ransom his son back."
Yue Lu's legs trembled with fear:
"This is too terrifying."
Qi Qi looked at Wang Jianjun in confusion:
"Can Thunder Security freely disclose client privacy?"
Wang Jianjun said solemnly:
"No."
Qi Qi asked, puzzled:
"Then what did you mean just now?"
Wang Jianjun said calmly:
"The Tycoon is not our client."
"And this matter isn't really private; it's spread throughout the Tycoon circles."
"In fact, not just the Tycoon, even the second richest Tycoon was blackmailed."
"He also paid the ransom for their release."
"Of course, the second richest Tycoon was blackmailed for 800 million."
"None of them are clients of our Thunder Security."
"But thanks to them, Thunder Security is very popular."
Qi Qi had already covered her mouth.
Yue Lu looked dazed, then suddenly stamped his foot:
"I'm stupid!"
"I'm really stupid!"
"If I had known the Tycoon and the second richest Tycoon were so easy to bully, I would have targeted them long ago."
"1 billion... once successful, I wouldn't have to worry for the rest of my life."
"I could go anywhere and live a carefree life."
Wang Jianjun couldn't help but give a thumbs up:
"Good job, you're Triad material."
Good heavens, everyone else, after hearing such things, wouldn't have the idea of robbing the Tycoon, but this short, fat man in front of him dared to.
"Unfortunately, you acted too late."
"Since such incidents occurred, the four major Tycoons have all strengthened their families' security. It won't be easy to succeed again."
Yue Lu beat his chest and stamped his feet, feeling he had missed out on over a billion!
Qi Qi chided:
"Dad, that's a crime."
Yue Lu said sheepishly:
"I was just fantasizing!"
Qi Qi snorted coldly:
"You're probably not fantasizing, but rather considering the chances of success if you were to do it!"
Yue Lu secretly thought, his daughter really understood him.
If he had known earlier that the Tycoon was so easy to rob, he really would have gone for it.
Risking his life, who wouldn't dare?
Qi Qi asked:
"Mr. Li, are the four of us sleeping in your house tonight?"
Wang Jianjun shook his head:
"I'm going home to sleep. You two can sleep here at Brother Fu's."
Qi Qi asked, puzzled:
"Aren't you afraid someone will attack?"
"After all, you said my father is a target for assassins worldwide!"
Yue Lu clutched his chest and said:
"My dear daughter, you don't need to stab me in the heart like that."
Wang Jianjun laughed loudly:
"Miss Qi Qi, you might have misunderstood something."
Qi Qi asked with a smile:
"What is it?"
Wang Jianjun replied:
"First, no one knows that you two, father and daughter, were taken away by us."
Qi Qi countered:
"So many people saw it at the banquet today."
Wang Jianjun said disdainfully:
"Those guys are best at keeping secrets."
"If they don't keep secrets, it's simple: their business won't succeed."
"We are Hung Hing."
Qi Qi fell silent.
The Triad's actions in Hong Kong had been very significant recently; some time ago, even the police cooperated to block roads.
Coupled with Grand Duke Andrei's repeated attacks, this was a time of media frenzy.
Who knows which fierce person exposed all the detailed information, which was quite astonishing.
Hong Kong society was abuzz with discussion about this.
Qi Qi, being a lawyer, often interacted with a social class that felt very uneasy about the current situation in Hong Kong.
When society was stable, her clients made money; when society was unstable, these people were the most sensitive.
"Second, this is Mid-Levels."
"There are several wealthy districts in Hong Kong, but undeniably, Victoria Peak is the most influential one."
There was also a hierarchy of disdain among wealthy districts.
However, in Hong Kong, the wealthy residents of Victoria Peak could look down on the wealthy residents of all other areas.
If the wealthy residents of Victoria Peak were truly affected, then there would be no way to stay in Hong Kong; leaving for another place would be the best policy.
"Third, we are high-ranking executives of Thunder Security!"
"Any foolish person who dares to come here won't be lonely tonight."
Qi Qi stared at Wang Jianjun dumbfounded; she could feel the strong conviction in his words.
Yue Lu said to Qi Qi:
Rumor has it that Brother Fu's skill is comparable to Hung Hing's Prince.
They are both figures of the War God type.
Wang Jianjun laughed:
If it were a fight to the death, the Prince couldn't compare to Brother Fu.
The army's combat techniques are all direct hits to vital points, with no wasted moves.
This is completely different from military physical boxing.
Ordinary people would never dare to learn the killing moves from the army; learning Sanda is more practical than that.
It's not that the army's killing moves are bad; it's just that ordinary people don't have the financial resources or the immunity to use them.
Li Fu, moreover, was forged on actual battlefields, and in life-or-death situations, striking mercilessly at the enemy is an instinct.
Although Kam Tze-tai's martial arts are high, if it were a life-and-death struggle, Wang Jianjun wouldn't fear him.
Wang Jianjun ignored the dumbfounded father and daughter and said to Li Fu:
Brother Fu, I need to go back.
Li Fu nodded slightly:
Alright, tomorrow you go to Yuen Long first to take a look.
After all, you are the Hall Master of Yuen Long; you need to set an example.
Boss Ding and Brother Feng put you in that position; you can't let them lose face.
Wang Jianjun chuckled:
Don't worry, I'll do a good job.
Yue Lu was stunned:
Hall Master of Yuen Long?
Li Fu nodded slightly, explaining to him:
The Hung Hing conference just appointed Jian Jun as the Hall Master of Yuen Long.
Yue Lu looked at him strangely:
When you're out in the Triad, you usually go by seniority, right? There's no reason you wouldn't be ahead of him!
Wang Jianjun laughed:
This Hall Master position for Yuen Long was given to me because Brother Fu didn't want to do it.
Understand?
Yue Lu didn't understand.
Wang Jianjun sighed:
Actually, in the past, Causeway Bay was nominally managed by the boss, but in reality, Brother Fu was in charge.
Later, Tin Hung rose, and Brother Fu handed Causeway Bay over to Tin Hung to manage.
If I had people, I wouldn't care about Yuen Long either.
But now I don't have suitable people, do I?
Brother Fu, I'm going back.
Li Fu said indifferently:
I'll see you out.
Wang Jianjun shook his head repeatedly:
It's just a couple of steps, no need to see me out.
Wang Jianjun bid farewell to the father and daughter and went home.
Yue Lu was completely stunned:
That's the Hall Master of Yuen Long, one of the Hung Hing Twelve Hall Masters, and you just gave it up like that?
Li Fu said indifferently:
Being a Hall Master isn't much fun; Thunder Security alone takes up enough of my time, and there are a ton of things around Brother Feng. Who has the energy for that kind of thing?
Also, let me correct you, Hung Hing no longer has Twelve Hall Masters, but fifteen.
Yue Lu exclaimed:
How did three more appear?
He suddenly understood something,
Even with Big D joining, that's only thirteen.
Li Fu explained:
Big D didn't come alone; besides him, there's Yu Tau Biu from Lei Yue Mun.
That adds two.
And another is a Hung Hing Macau branch, and the current Hall Master is Dai Fei.
Yue Lu's mouth hung open, unable to speak.
Li Fu clapped his hands:
Alright, it's getting late, you two should rest quickly.
There are many rooms in this villa; just pick whichever one you like and sleep there.
However, you need to let me know which room you're in.
Yue Lu suddenly became alert:
What do you want to do?
Li Fu looked at him, quite speechless:
Yue Lu, I'm not saying this to be mean, but if I wanted your life, I could do it anytime.
You are a target for the top twenty assassins in the world; I need to ensure your safety.
Yue Lu frowned:
Didn't you say it was very safe here?
Li Fu nodded:
That's right, it's very safe here.
But there's a precondition.
That the assassins don't know your whereabouts.
Otherwise, this is a hundred million US dollars...
Even if it's a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, they'll have to brave it.
I don't care if they come or not, but do you not care? Or does Qi Qi not care?
Yue Lu smiled bitterly:
A hundred million US dollars...
I even want to sell myself.
Come on, let's quickly pick a room and go to sleep.
Yue Lu and Qi Qi quickly chose their rooms.
Before Li Fu left, Qi Qi suddenly asked:
Why did you bring us here?
Li Fu casually said:
I want to exchange your father for a hundred million US dollars from the Tsukamoto Foundation.
Didn't I tell you that already?
Qi Qi smiled and shook her head:
You can almost trick my dad with that; he looks smart, but he's actually quite foolish.
You're protecting us, aren't you?
Li Fu said amusedly:
Why would you think that?
Qi Qi smiled even more happily:
Otherwise, you wouldn't have needed to bring him to the banquet to find me.
Li Fu shook his head:
That was just your father not being able to let go of you.
Qi Qi smiled even more happily:
If you were truly as carefree as you say, you wouldn't have brought me to your villa and even arranged a job for me.
You're worried I'll get hurt, aren't you?
Li Fu said frankly:
Of course, I know Yue Lu was framed, and I naturally know his daughter is innocent.
I'm from the Triad, and my moral standards are decent, so I naturally wouldn't harm innocent people.
Qi Qi suddenly said:
You're the one who killed Tsukamoto Do, aren't you?
Li Fu was startled:
Why do you think that?
Qi Qi smiled:
Otherwise, why would you think my father is innocent?
Li Fu gently shook his head:
You're a lawyer; you can't not know about forensic evidence.
The assassin who took out Tsukamoto Do held a pistol level and instantly emptied all the bullets.
Unfortunately, that position was just beyond your father's height.
For him to achieve that, there's only one way.
That is to hold two guns high.
However, that's unrealistic.
Li Fu then asked,
You say I killed that Old Japanese Devil, but do you have any evidence?
Qi Qi smiled even more happily:
Intuition!
Don't you know women's sixth sense is very accurate?
Li Fu joked:
How about you go tell others that I'm the one who killed Tsukamoto Do?
Qi Qi shook her head:
I wish I could.
But no one would believe me.
Li Fu burst out laughing:
Alright, go to sleep quickly, don't overthink things. Starting tomorrow, you'll be working at Jiangs Law Firm.
I think you'll be buried in paperwork for a long time.
Good night.
Just as Li Fu was about to leave, Qi Qi suddenly stopped him again:
Are you only being so good to us simply because you don't want to harm innocent people?
Li Fu stopped and said seriously:
Of course not.
My initial intention was just to settle Yue Lu's daughter.
Who would have thought that his appearance would produce such a beautiful daughter?
Meeting a girl like you, who wouldn't be moved?
I like you!
Qi Qi's face flushed crimson, and she quickly shooed him away:
I'm going to sleep.
Li Fu smiled and waved his hand:
Good night.
Qi Qi watched dumbfounded as Li Fu actually left, feeling both lost and relieved and amused:
Was what this guy just said true?
It looks like a lie, doesn't it?
It's late at night, and this is his own home.
Qi Qi couldn't help but doubt her own appearance—could it be that she wasn't pretty? No way!
But why did Li Fu leave so resolutely?
Was her attraction to him not enough?
For a moment, Qi Qi couldn't help but feel anxious, her heart fluttering like grass.
After a long while, she finally looked around the room she was in.
Honestly, it didn't look like a man's room at all.
Neat and clean.
There wasn't a hint of perfume in the room, completely different from a woman's room.
However, Qi Qi was very satisfied.
This guy really is consistent, inside and out.
Qi Qi's mood suddenly lifted, and with a graceful leap, she threw herself onto the Simmons bed, pulled up the thin blanket, and began to sleep.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Yue Lu, who was expected to fall asleep quickly, was still awake.
Li Fu asked curiously:
What are you waiting for, instead of sleeping?
Yue Lu chuckled dryly:
Waiting for you!
Li Fu looked at Yue Lu, then turned his head to look at Qi Qi's room, and suddenly a realization dawned on him:
You wouldn't be afraid that I would take advantage of the situation and do something inappropriate, would you?
