Chapter 105: Eliminate the Enemy, Everyone is a Friend (Part 2)
Ting Hau-Hai was startled:
"Seven?"
Fang Ting's voice was quite indifferent:
"I originally had a good impression of him, but he has seven wives, and I don't want to share a man with others."
"But at this moment, I'm relieved."
"And I understand my best friend."
"My best friend is extremely career-driven, but that person always respects her, supports her, and doesn't distance himself from her just because she's busy and not by his side."
"He certainly wouldn't grab her and interrogate her just because another man appeared by her side."
"Domestic violence is something I wouldn't even dare to imagine."
Ting Hau-Hai suddenly felt a panic, as if he was about to lose his most precious possession, and quickly said:
"Fang Ting, that's because I love you."
Fang Ting sneered:
"This isn't love; this is pure possessiveness."
"You just want to tie me to your side so you can have a little bit of security."
"You have no confidence at all, thinking any man can steal your woman. If you're going to live like that, you might as well just die!"
Ting Hau-Hai suddenly exploded in rage, grabbing her hair fiercely, wishing he could pull her head off:
"Tell me who that person is!"
"I'll tear him apart."
Fang Ting's face twisted in pain, her voice squeezed out through gritted teeth:
"Go ahead."
"His name is Lin Feng, let's see if you dare to go!"
Ting Hau-Hai suddenly let go, his eyes bloodshot:
"Lin Feng?"
"The Hung Hing Causeway Bay hall master, right?"
"Good, I'll catch him immediately. I'll make both of you die together!"
Bang!
Ting Hau-Hai suddenly turned his head, only to see the office door brutally kicked open.
Three people strode in.
The leader was Lin Feng.
"You're looking for me?" Lin Feng greeted him politely.
Ting Hau-Hai suddenly regained his composure:
"Lin Feng?"
"How did you get here?"
Lin Feng ignored Ting Hau-Hai, walked over to Fang Ting, and casually untied her ropes.
The latter burst into tears, hugging him tightly and crying uncontrollably.
Fang Ting hadn't cried after being tormented by Ting Hau-Hai for half a day, but the moment she saw Lin Feng appear, her eyes filled with tears, and she finally couldn't hold on any longer.
On the other side, Chen Taotao's ropes were also untied by Lok Tin-hung.
Lin Feng held Fang Ting like that, gently patting her back:
"Cry, cry. I know you've suffered a lot of grievances. Cry your heart out."
"I can't feel how much pain you're in, but it doesn't matter."
"Whoever inflicted pain on you, I will double and redouble it on him."
Fang Ting cried even harder, complaining while crying:
"How can you comfort someone like that?"
However, no matter what, Fang Ting felt much better.
Ting Hau-Hai's eyes were splitting with rage at this scene.
Lin Feng looked at him indifferently:
"You abducted my woman and my subordinate, and you still dare to ask me how I got here?"
"Ting Hau-Hai, you truly are Ting Hai's son."
"Ting Hai lives only in his own world, easily moved by himself, believing that only he is right in the whole world, and everyone else is wrong."
"If something contradicts his perception, it's definitely not his fault, but someone else's."
"Just like today."
"Fang Ting must have told you long ago that there's no relationship between the two of you."
"You refused to believe it, even thinking that she was testing your loyalty."
"Come on, big brother,"
"She's clearly stated that you, this crab, are ugly, fierce, and bad, yet you still go forward like a fawning dog, moved by your own actions?"
"Why don't you look in the mirror? What right do you have to be with my Fang Ting?"
Ting Hau-Hai couldn't hold back anymore:
"I'll kill you all!"
With bloodshot eyes, he swung his fists and charged at the two of them.
Lin Feng gently shifted his body, moving Fang Ting to a different position.
This was to prevent Ting Hau-Hai's fist from accidentally hitting Fang Ting.
Of course, this was almost impossible.
Wang Jianjun shot out in a flash, delivering three consecutive kicks, one of which landed on Ting Hau-Hai's stomach, sending him flying far away.
Lin Feng, while tenderly stroking Fang Ting's pulled-out hair, said to Ting Hau-Hai, who was lying on the ground:
"People in the Triad say I have good connections."
"In fact, my connections are indeed good."
"I'm a Straw Sandal, wherever I go, no one speaks ill of me."
"Don't you think I'm smooth and diplomatic?"
"Then you're wrong."
"My connections are good because... all my enemies are dead!"
The hall instantly fell silent.
Fang Ting's mouth was wide open, staring blankly at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng gently stroked her hair:
"I have eight wives, and I also have people I care about. I would never entrust the safety of my own people to the mercy of my enemies."
"Fang Ting, you know I'm involved in the Triad."
"The enemies of the Triad, those are truly life-threatening."
"I won't give them even the slightest chance to threaten the people I care about, the people I cherish."
"Eliminating all enemies is a responsible act towards you and me."
Fang Ting nodded involuntarily.
Lin Feng ignored what was happening in the room, his eyes seemingly only on Fang Ting.
"Once you become my woman, your affairs are my affairs."
"My father-in-law, a man of great reputation, died too unjustly."
"He was hit in the head by his childhood friend, making him unable to do things properly, yet his good education made him strive to complete even a basic job well."
"Unfortunately, The Ding Family's crabs wouldn't allow it."
"Not only that, they even felt that his death wasn't their fault."
"What a good person my father-in-law was, with ideals and ambitions. He contributed greatly to today's Hong Kong government companies."
"Those people my father-in-law helped, all hid when he was in trouble."
"I understand their thinking, great kindness can turn into enmity."
"But it doesn't matter."
"I'll collect the debts they owe my father-in-law."
"Tonight, let's have a crab feast and collect some interest first."
Fang Ting stood obediently by his side.
Ting Hau-Hai's eyes were splitting with rage, his heart full of grievance.
Why did Fang Ting treat him this way?
They were both involved in the Triad, Lin Feng was a hundred times more blatant than him, yet Fang Ting chose him and not himself?
Heaven is blind.
Ting Hau-Hai shouted:
"Lin Feng, can you fight me head-on like a man?"
"Do you only hide behind your subordinates?"
Lin Feng's face showed a strange expression:
"You can't even beat Jian Jun, and you want to fight me?"
Wang Jianjun also had a strange look on his face.
"Boss, why waste words with this kind of person? Just finish him off directly."
Lin Feng shook his head:
"You still don't understand my style."
"I have very few enemies in Hong Kong, but as long as there's enmity, I will eradicate it completely."
"Don't talk nonsense about misfortunes not extending to family members."
"To live long, you must make sure everyone around you is a friend, with no enemies."
"Ting Hau-Hai, come, I'll give you a chance to fight me."
Ting Hau-Hai sneered and suddenly rushed over.
Lin Feng sighed:
"All weaknesses."
With a lunge, he charged forward, and Ting Hau-Hai's fist missed.
Lin Feng quickly entangled him.
Crack!
Ting Hau-Hai screamed loudly; his shoulder joint had been dislocated.
Lin Feng held his other arm, his fists like sledgehammers rapidly striking his chest, perineum, heart, liver, and finally, an elbow strike to the crown of his head!
Bang.
Everyone in the office seemed to hear a dull thud.
That was the sound of the blows landing on Ting Hau-Hai's body.
Wang Jianjun's pupils contracted; the boss had completely treated Ting Hau-Hai as a punching bag just now.
A complete set of moves was unleashed; Ting Hau-Hai was dead for sure!
Lin Feng mocked:
"With your skills, you still dare to fight me?"
"You have half an hour left to live."
"Keep it up, I'll spend this half hour with you."
Ting Hau-Hai's internal organs had all suffered impacts. He felt a slight regret, spitting blood and saying:
"This matter was done by one person; it has nothing to do with my brothers."
Lin Feng burst out laughing:
"Your old man is a piece of trash, and you think you're a good person?"
"You've been stealing other people's steamed buns since you were little, and you've been involved in the Triad just like me since a long time ago."
"All three of your younger brothers were raised with your dirty money."
"You say it has nothing to do with you?"
Ting Hau-Hai spat out another mouthful of blood:
"Please let my father and my brothers go."
Lin Feng said quietly:
"This brotherly affection is truly moving."
"I'm not like you. I'm Ngai Kun's illegitimate son. Due to human ethics, I didn't kill him with my own hands, but when he was killed, I was happier than anyone else."
"When I was happy, I did another thing."
"I eradicated The Ni Family."
"My motto is... kill your enemies, and you'll be surrounded by friends."
"You care so much about your brothers, even begging me to spare them before you die. Your brotherhood must be very strong."
"Coincidentally, because of Fang Ting, I've also been paying attention to The Ding Family."
"You are a cold and ruthless person. Your second brother, Ding Yixie, is impulsive, lecherous, and cruel!"
"Your third brother, Ding Wangxie, is a wolf in sheep's clothing, a scoundrel disguised as a lawyer."
"Your fourth brother, Ding Lixie, is a poisonous doctor disguised as a doctor, and the most insidious and cunning of them all."
"Do you think I would let these guys go and cause me trouble?"
Lin Feng squatted in front of him and said coldly,
"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself."
"Dare to abduct my woman and subordinates, then your Chung Ching Society has no need to exist."
"Triads like yours that rise so suddenly are the easiest to deal with."
"You think you can run rampant and no one dares to provoke you, and you don't even care about the other traditional Triads."
"Look at the things you've done: loan sharking, casinos, white powder, even firearms... you want to get involved in anything that makes money."
"Do you think your thinking is very open-minded?"
"Let me tell you directly, all the Triads have long been displeased with you."
"Tonight, I made three phone calls—to my Big Brother, the Hung Hing Dragon Head, and the Chief of the West Kowloon Police Station... Do you know what their attitude was?"
"Let's eat crabs, count me in!"
"You wouldn't think that abducting my woman and subordinates would only cost you this much, would you?"
"To be honest, the only task for the surrounding halls of your Chung Ching Society tonight is to eliminate your Chung Ching Society."
"If I'm not mistaken, they should be acting now."
"The calls for help should be coming in."
Ting Hau-Hai's eyes widened, full of despair.
Ring, ring, ring.
The phone rang.
However, Ting Hau-Hai no longer had the strength to pick up the phone.
Lin Feng, being kind-hearted, helped him take it out so he could see clearly:
"Ding Yixie's call, your second brother."
He pressed the answer button.
Ding Yixie's voice was very panicked:
"Boss, it's bad, the surrounding Triads have gone crazy, everyone is attacking."
"Hung Hing, Wo Hing Shing, Sun Luen Shing, Tung Sing, Hung Tai, Number Gang... they're all enemies!"
"What should we do, Boss?"
"The leaders are the Hung Hing Prince and Tung Sing's Szeto Ho-Nam, I'm so scared..."
His voice was even tinged with a cry.
Lin Feng sneered in response:
"Then please go to hell!"
He hung up the phone and spread his hands:
"See, that's how it is."
"Alright, it's time for us to set off!"
Lin Feng ordered:
"Tin Hung, take this guy with us, let's go to the seaside."
The group went downstairs.
Lin Feng ordered:
"Jianguo, send Mr. Chen back."
Fang Ting said seriously:
"Don't send me back, I want to stay with you."
Lin Feng sighed:
"Be good, men have to do very fierce things, it's not good for women to watch."
Fang Ting shook her head;
"I don't want to be separated from you again like just now."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Alright then."
He glanced at Dai Tau, who was looking at him eagerly,
"Dai Tau, drive."
Dai Tau happily got into the car.
Lin Feng ordered:
"Jianguo, send Mr. Chen to the Triad Hospital for a thorough check-up first. Other hospitals are not safe, send him to our Triad Hospital."
Wang Jianguo agreed and quickly left.
Dai Tau asked:
"Brother Feng, where are we going?"
Lin Feng said coldly:
"Crabs, of course, should go back to where they belong, to the seaside!"
So Dai Tau drove straight to the harbor.
They had just turned the corner when police sirens sounded.
Dai Tau was very relieved:
"Fortunately, we left early."
Lok Tin-hung couldn't help but say:
"What coincidence? This is our tacit understanding with the Police Force."
Dai Tau was stunned.
Obviously, Lok Tin-hung's single sentence had a huge impact on his worldview.
Under Lin Feng's guidance, the car drove to a desolate beach.
Dai Tau dragged Ting Hau-Hai out.
Lok Tin-hung asked excitedly:
"Boss, what are we going to do next?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"Wait!"
Lok Tin-hung was surprised:
"Wait?"
Lin Feng grinned:
"When you're in the underworld, you have to keep your word. If you say you'll kill his whole family, you must kill his whole family."
"The five crabs of The Ding Family must go together neatly."
Fang Ting couldn't help but say:
"Ah Feng, do we really have to kill their whole family?"
Lin Feng sighed:
"There are some things I don't want to tell you, not because I don't trust you, but because I'm afraid you can't bear these blows."
"Do you think these bastards from The Ding Family still have some humanity?"
"I won't talk about other families' misfortunes, only about yours."
"Your father-in-law, Fong Chun-San, was crippled by Ting Hai, you should know that."
"Ting Hai always said it wasn't his fault, that Chow Kai-Sang forced him, and he even wanted to cause trouble for Aunt Ling."
"You've already lost your father-in-law, are you going to lose your stepmother too?"
Fang Ting covered her mouth.
"Ting Hau-Hai took a liking to you, but you probably don't know that Ding Yixie has his eyes on your younger sister, Fang Min."
Fang Ting's expression changed instantly:
"These bastards, we must kill their whole family."
Lin Feng gently hugged Fang Ting:
"Of course, now we're just waiting for Brother Kun and the others. Tonight, we're going to have a crab feast."
Fang Ting nodded fiercely.
Wang Jianjun secretly admired how quickly his sister-in-law's mindset had changed.
However, he thought, if anyone dared to have ideas about Wang Jianguo, his thoughts would be even more extreme than Fang Ting's!
Just then, Wang Jianjun's phone rang. After a few 'uh-huhs', he hung up and said:
"Boss, Jianguo has already sent Mr. Chen to the Triad Hospital. Uncle Nan's son personally treated him. He has three broken ribs and needs bed rest."
Upon hearing this, Fang Ting looked at Ting Hau-Hai with even more disgust.
Ting Hau-Hai was already numb.
Lin Feng had never thought of hiding anything from a dead man.
Ting Hau-Hai's eyes changed from despair to indifference, even a hint of calm.
One after another, Liang Kun, the Prince, Situ, Chiang Tin-Sung, and others arrived.
Ding Yixie, Ding Wangxie, Ding Lixie, and even Ting Hai were all brought over. All of them were beaten half to death and couldn't speak.
Lin Feng said to Wang Jianjun:
"Bleed them."
Wang Jianjun immediately pulled out a triangular military bayonet and stabbed each person once, intentionally twisting it when he exerted force.
Fang Ting didn't understand why he did this, but she wisely didn't say anything.
Liang Kun laughed:
"Ah Feng, tonight is a big harvest. All the halls of the Chung Ching Society have been eradicated."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"I don't care about that, I just want all the crabs of The Ding Family to be on their way."
Chiang Tin-Sung asked:
"The territory of the Chung Ching Society has been taken down by our several families, but the specific ownership of the halls has not yet been determined."
"Do you have any requests?"
"You initiated this matter, and the other Triads are willing to give you face."
Szeto Ho-Nam was the only person from an outside Triad, and he repeatedly said:
"That's right, Hall Master Lin, you can pick any piece you want."
Lin Feng smiled:
"Hung Hing's Dragon Head Mr. Chiang, and my Big Brother Kun are all here, why are you asking me about this?"
"I just want to avenge my wife and father-in-law."
Liang Kun was greatly alarmed:
"You really married an eighth wife?"
Lin Feng waved his hand, and Fang Ting came over generously to greet everyone:
"Brother Kun, Mr. Chiang, Prince..."
Smack!
Liang Kun clutched his forehead in pain:
"Tomorrow Old Mother will be nagging me again!"
Chiang Tin-Sung greeted Fang Ting kindly and explained the reason for Wang Jianjun's stab,
"Bleeding these people makes it effortless to burn them."
Lin Feng said to Ting Hau-Hai, who was still conscious:
"My Big Brother taught me that when you're in the underworld, you have to keep your word. If you say you'll kill his whole family, you kill his whole family."
With a wave of his hand, Wang Jianjun and Lok Tin-hung stepped forward together and ended the lives of The Ding Family father and sons one by one.
They were dragged onto a pre-prepared pile of firewood, doused with gasoline, and burned thoroughly.
Some subordinates had already brought water and rinsed the area several times, leaving the world clean.
***
Chapter 106: A Great Storm in the Underworld (Part 1)
With The Ding Family's five crabs burned to ashes and returned to the sea, Chung Ching Society's mission was complete.
However, some things were still unfinished.
Lin Feng, carrying joss paper, and Fang Ting went to the cemetery overnight to burn joss paper and pay respects to Fong Chun-San.
Logically, this kind of thing should be done during the day.
Fang Ting couldn't wait another moment; she had to pay her respects that very night.
Lin Feng didn't mind.
Lok Tin-hung and Wang Jianjun also didn't mind.
Lin Feng and Wang Jianjun had crawled out of piles of dead bodies; they weren't afraid of the living, let alone the dead?
Lok Tin-hung was a martial arts fanatic; if a ghost really appeared, the Blue-haired Kid would probably pull out his weapon and have a good spar with him.
With Lin Feng accompanying her, Fang Ting felt very at ease.
To let her come here alone would have been absolutely impossible.
With a look from Lin Feng, Lok Tin-hung and Wang Jianjun moved to a distance.
Fang Ting and Lin Feng burned joss paper in front of Fong Chun-San's grave:
"Dad, Ting Hai is dead. He was killed by your son-in-law. You should know by now."
"The Ding Family's four little crabs are also dead; they were also killed by your son-in-law."
"I found you a son-in-law. He's really amazing and can easily protect me from harm."
"His name is Lin Feng."
Lin Feng was speechless, but seeing Fang Ting immersed in her own world, he wisely chose not to interrupt.
"Hello, Father-in-law, I am Lin Feng."
"I will definitely treat Tingting well, so please rest assured."
Fang Ting's face was full of sweetness:
"Ah Feng treats me very well."
"The only bad thing is that before me, he already had seven wives."
"Adding me, that makes eight."
"Dad, please bless me and don't let Ah Feng find any more wives."
"Now we can already make two mahjong tables; any more would truly be unbearable."
Lin Feng felt a bit awkward.
To say this in front of Fong Chun-San's grave, even with his thick skin, was too much.
But considering Fang Ting's excited mood at the moment, it was better not to speak.
However, if Fong Chun-San truly had a spirit in heaven, would Aunt Ling and the others have suffered such a tragic fate?
Lin Feng didn't believe it.
In his opinion, the only good enemies were dead ones.
Anyway, with him by Fang Ting's side, anyone who dared to bully her would just have to wait for a beating.
The Ding Family's five crabs were the prime example.
Understanding this, Lin Feng felt somewhat relieved.
He burned some joss paper for Fong Chun-San, and the evening breeze stirred the paper, making the atmosphere suddenly solemn, as if Fong Chun-San's spirit had truly appeared before the grave.
Lin Feng sighed inwardly. Burning joss paper for the dead, outwardly honoring ancestors, was actually about seeking peace of mind for oneself.
He remained silent, focused on burning the joss paper, quietly accompanying Fang Ting, and listening to her rambling.
Fang Ting talked a lot. The fate of Ting Hai's family was only mentioned at the beginning; the rest was all about The Ding Family's affairs, and outside of that, Lin Feng.
Aunt Ling, Fang Fang, Fang Min, Fong Chin-Bor, and Fang Ting's recent events.
Lin Feng could clearly feel Fang Ting's emotions stabilizing.
"Don't worry, Tingting, I know where your brothers, sisters, and younger sister are. I will get them jobs."
Lin Feng wouldn't take on everything, but creating a good living and learning environment for The Ding Family was a simple and easy task.
It was just a matter of a single word from him.
He wasn't an all-encompassing saint, nor was he a stingy miser.
Thanks to his identity as a Triad Straw Sandal, no one was better than him at handling human relations.
Fang Ting nodded heavily.
When the joss paper was all burned, Fang Ting reluctantly stood up:
"Dad, we'll come to see you another day."
Having squatted for too long, she swayed slightly when she stood up.
Lin Feng held Fang Ting and strode into the car.
Lok Tin-hung and the others quickly followed, and the group escorted Lin Feng and Fang Ting back to Victoria Peak.
Lin Feng said to everyone:
"You all have half a day off tomorrow. Come back in the evening."
Everyone nodded repeatedly and quickly took their leave.
Fang Ting suddenly became shy.
Lin Feng chuckled:
"Do you know why those seven women almost never come to me alone?"
Fang Ting playfully hit him:
"Why talk about that at this time?"
Lin Feng said seriously:
"It's better to be open about it..."
He carried Fang Ting into the bathroom, and the lovers began to take a mandarin duck bath.
Fang Ting was very curious about the answer she had just heard:
"Why is that?"
Lin Feng said proudly and helplessly:
"They can't handle it alone."
Fang Ting's eyes widened. She subconsciously looked down and then turned to run.
At this moment, would Lin Feng be crazy enough to let her run?
The peach was ripe; if he didn't eat it, wouldn't he be worse than a beast?
He held Xuezi firmly in his hand. Two days without it had truly made him restless.
What should have been a twenty-minute shower ended up wasting tons of water.
The intelligence system's refresh notification sounded. Lin Feng hadn't even finished showering, yet this kind of thing was addictive.
As long as he had enough stamina, he naturally wanted to keep going.
Fang Ting had similar thoughts, but unfortunately, her stamina gave out early, and her voice went from high-pitched to low and then almost inaudible.
Finally, she couldn't even whimper.
Lin Feng was still not satisfied, which was also one of the after-effects of his transmigration.
When he transmigrated, the system, in order to save this body, frantically infused energy, causing all aspects to be strengthened.
Consequently, Lin Feng's desires were much stronger than those of ordinary people.
The two brothers in Mong Kok actually both needed a 'weapon of destruction,' but Lin Feng played at a much higher level than Liang Kun.
He didn't care for ordinary women.
Lin Feng had no interest in delinquents like Little Stutter.
If he was going to look, he would look for good, respectable women.
For example, Lok Wai-Jan, Ho Man, and Fang Ting.
All of them were top-notch in figure, appearance, and demeanor.
Lin Feng was even more fastidious than Liang Kun in that he didn't keep 'vases.'
If he wanted a 'vase,' with his wealth, changing one every day wouldn't be a problem.
But there was absolutely no need!
Fang Ting fell asleep, and only then did Lin Feng check today's intelligence system:
"Ding, today's intelligence system has been refreshed."
"Economy (Purple): Big Mao has determined that self-salvation requires shock therapy, and they have decided to hire the father of shock therapy to reform their economy."
"Politics (Purple): The Anglo-Saxon alliance is fully promoting ideological evolution against Big Mao."
"Crime (Purple): George deeply regrets the demise of Chung Ching Society. He was very optimistic about The Ding Family brothers."
Lin Feng looked at Fang Ting on the bed with a complex expression, speechless and questioning the heavens.
So, if there were no women by his side, he could only get white intelligence, right?
It was really a headache.
But now, it was time to honestly go to sleep!
Lin Feng finished his shower and held Fang Ting to sleep. The latter had already fallen into the deepest sleep, completely unaware of Lin Feng's actions.
The two of them slept soundly, but in the underworld, no one slept that night.
Heung Yim of Sun Yee On received the news of Chung Ching Society's demise immediately.
He was about to go to sleep but was startled awake by the news.
Heung Yim was stunned for a long time, then suddenly reacted and asked:
"Chung Ching Society is really gone?"
The messenger nodded repeatedly:
"It's gone!"
Heung Yim frowned:
"Are you sure you're talking about the newly risen Chung Ching Society?"
The subordinate wondered:
"Isn't there only one Chung Ching Society in the underworld?"
"The Ding Family's four brothers and even their father have disappeared."
"There's a rumor that crabs should return to the sea."
"We all think that The Ding Family's five crabs were thrown into the sea."
Heung Yim still couldn't believe it:
"Chung Ching Society didn't rise long ago, but it was still a well-known major Triad in the underworld. It's gone overnight?"
The subordinate corrected:
"Not overnight, it was gone in just two hours."
"Chung Ching Society acted arrogantly and didn't follow the rules."
"It had long lost popular support."
"Rumors in the underworld say that at least four major Triads suddenly attacked together."
"Hung Hing, Tung Sing, Sun Luen Shing, Wo Hing Shing, etc. With careful planning against unpreparedness, plus Ting Hau-Hai seemed to have lost contact, they were gone."
"I heard that Hung Hing initiated it."
Heung Yim pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and waved for his subordinate to leave.
Some things were not clear at all, but it was not the time to discuss them with a subordinate.
Heung Yim felt a chill in his heart.
It wasn't because of Chung Ching Society's demise; Sun Yee On had no dealings with Chung Ching Society.
Sun Yee On was an old-established Triad, while Chung Ching Society was a parvenu.
The key was that this parvenu didn't follow the rules and constantly did outrageous things, and because of Chung Ching Society's existence, the old-established Triads were also discriminated against.
Other powerful Triads had long been displeased with the Chung Ching Society, yet no one dared to take the lead.
Old Triads prioritize stability and long-term business.
To put it bluntly, making money is the top priority.
It's like a mature and steady middle-aged man who wouldn't bother with the antics of a young punk.
The Chung Ching Society was just a Blue-haired Kid, getting rich quick through unconventional means.
The middle-aged men disliked the Blue-haired Kid, but they didn't want to provoke him.
Middle-aged men could communicate amicably and rationally with each other, but it was entirely different with a Blue-haired Kid.
If a conversation went sour, no one could guarantee that the Blue-haired Kid wouldn't pull out a dagger and stab you through the heart.
This was the huge difference in their ways of doing things, and one of the irreconcilable contradictions.
If Heung Yim had known about this, Sun Yee On would have definitely gotten involved.
Now, all the other forces were having a seafood feast, and he wasn't invited... This was truly too unlucky.
No!
It wasn't just bad luck; there was an even more pressing issue—Sun Yee On was being excluded from those major Triads.
Eating crabs was the biggest gang event recently, and Sun Yee On had no reason to miss it.
"This is bad!"
"Now it's probably troublesome."
Heung Yim, as expected of Sun Yee On's Dragon Head, immediately understood that things were terrible.
"Sun Yee On has a branch that borders the Chung Ching Society, and all the other Triads participated, but we didn't... Will this make people think that Sun Yee On is in league with the Chung Ching Society?"
"Or even worse, make others think that Sun Yee On is no longer worthy of acting alongside the other major Triads?"
Heung Yim's face changed drastically.
There are two types of strength: hard power and soft power.
Hard power is simply about having more people, more money, and more capable subordinates.
Soft power is a bit more intangible—reputation and standing in the hearts of the gang members.
Sun Yee On used to associate with major Triads like Hung Hing, Sun Luen Shing, and Wo Hing Shing. It's said that birds of a feather flock together, and the same applies to Triads.
So, the operation to eliminate the Chung Ching Society should have included them, but Sun Yee On was absent.
This situation would definitely not escape the notice of some people.
Then, they would ask, why didn't Sun Yee On participate in the operation?
Did they not want to? Or was their strength no longer sufficient to participate in such a large operation?
If it was the latter, then they were in trouble. Sun Yee On's influence would greatly decrease. Even if you still had the capabilities of a Top Ten Gangs, you wouldn't have the corresponding influence, which would be detrimental to Sun Yee On's future development.
Heung Yim paced back and forth, thinking, his face growing more anxious. One question still puzzled him:
"The Chung Ching Society has been acting tyrannically for more than a day or two, so why were they suddenly wiped out today?"
"What exactly is the problem?"
He couldn't figure it out.
After a long while, Heung Yim slapped his forehead hard:
"Am I stupid? Couldn't I just ask someone directly?"
So Heung Yim dialed Master Shen of Wo Hing Shing.
"Master Shen, why did you suddenly decide to attack the Chung Ching Society today?"
Master Shen corrected him:
"It wasn't today that we decided to attack them; we've wanted to attack them for a long time."
"Those few small crabs from the Chung Ching Society are arrogant and overbearing. I've wanted to hit them for a long time."
"You know, their actions are ruining our business."
Heung Yim nodded:
"Right."
"But why did Wo Hing Shing suddenly make a move against the Chung Ching Society?"
Master Shen explained:
"That's all thanks to Lin Feng of Hung Hing."
Heung Yim found it quite absurd:
"What does this have to do with Lin Feng?"
Master Shen retorted:
"Why wouldn't it have to do with Lin Feng?"
"He's the one who started it."
"His woman and subordinates were abducted by Ting Hau-Hai of the Chung Ching Society. Could Lin Feng let them get away with that?"
"There's a saying in the Jianghu: 'Misfortune does not extend to family.'"
"The Chung Ching Society crossed a line."
Heung Yim wanted to laugh. What 'misfortune does not extend to family'? Which boss doing such things doesn't completely eradicate the roots?
'Misfortune does not extend to family'—just listen to it; that's all.
"So Lin Feng gathered a group of Triads and started a big fight."
So that's what happened. Heung Yim had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Master Shen excitedly say:
"The Chung Ching Society's aggressive style made many Triads dislike them, so attacking them was met with an overwhelming response."
"Our Wo Hing Shing, Sun Luen Shing, Hung Hing, Hung Tai, and Wo Hang... many Triads attacked simultaneously. In just two hours, the Chung Ching Society was gone."
"Too many Triads participated."
At this point, Master Shen suddenly had a thought,
"Isn't tomorrow the Heroes' Assembly? By then, the Chung Ching Society's territory will be ours."
"When are you leaving? Let's go together."
Heung Yim gave a wry smile and said, taking advantage of the situation:
"Sun Yee On would also like to attend this Triad meeting... but it seems no one informed us."
Master Shen was silent for a long time:
"Sun Yee On didn't participate?"
Heung Yim deliberately said:
"It seems Lin Feng doesn't like me, does he?"
Master Shen suddenly laughed:
"I heard from the White-Haired Old Man that you were badmouthing Lin Feng at Arrogance Restaurant?"
Heung Yim felt uncomfortable again,
"Master Shen, we are the older generation. What's wrong with saying a few words about the younger generation?"
Master Shen leisurely said:
"That's right, that's right. We are the elders, and there's nothing wrong with saying a few words about the younger generation."
"However... you need to be in the right."
Heung Yim was stunned:
"What?"
Master Shen said, amused:
"Isn't this obvious?"
"If you want to advise someone, it's best if they are a junior from your Sun Yee On. Then you can advise them however you like."
"You are the Chairman of Sun Yee On, not the Chairman of Hung Hing. What reason do you have to criticize Lin Feng?"
"It's like you visiting Chung Yee Shun, seeing Lin Ho-tung, not liking him, and taking it upon yourself to discipline him on behalf of Lin Ho-lung..."
Heung Yim quickly interrupted Master Shen:
"Master Shen, I don't have that much nerve."
Master Shen sneered:
"You don't have that much nerve?"
"Then why did you criticize Lin Feng so harshly in that special setting?"
"Do you know what that kind of behavior is called?"
"It's called acting like an old fool."
Heung Yim angrily said:
"Can't I, an elder, say a word to him?"
Master Shen retorted:
"Then do you dare to go to Chung Yee Shun's headquarters and criticize Lin Ho-tung in front of Lin Ho-lung?"
Heung Yim stopped talking.
He wouldn't dare.
Chung Yee Shun was a bunch of lunatics. He would be crazy to do such a thing.
Wouldn't that be seeking death?
Since he wouldn't dare to do such a thing at Chung Yee Shun, why did he dare to do it at the promotion banquet of Hung Hing's Causeway Bay Hall Master?
Double standards?
Or bullying the weak and fearing the strong?
Heung Yim held the phone, now hating even Master Shen. This old geezer wasn't any good either.
"Mr. Cheung might not have understood the meaning of the name 'Lin Feng.'"
"Let me remind you, he is only twenty years old this year."
"Don't call me when there's nothing important."
Heung Yim looked at the phone in disbelief. Master Shen had actually hung up on him.
You're the most prestigious person in Wo Hing Shing, and you actually hung up on me?
What was going on?
Heung Yim's face turned green then purple.
"What's so great about being twenty?"
"A twenty-year-old Hall Master is even less impressive. I was born to be Sun Yee On's Chairman. Can he compare to me?"
Smash!
In his anger, Heung Yim threw the phone, shattering it into pieces.
After the fuming Heung Yim calmed down and recalled Master Shen's call, he was suddenly moved, and his face darkened.
"Lin Feng is only twenty years old, and he's already Hung Hing's Causeway Bay Hall Master, a legitimate Triad boss.
He's also a famous tycoon in Hong Kong, and most importantly, he's self-made.
A self-made twenty-year-old tycoon is even more of a promising young talent.
Such a guy doesn't care about how much money he has; he cares more about face.
No wonder Master Shen also drew a line with me because of him.
This guy is playing dumb to catch a tiger!
The annoying thing is that I fell for it."
Heung Yim was startled by this thought and quickly wanted to call Axe Jun, but his phone was already shattered, so he could only dejectedly run to the living room.
