Chapter 135: An Unimaginably Powerful Force (Part 2)
"This guy has cancer and less than a year to live. Two days ago, a large sum of money was suddenly deposited into his account."
"Richard's trap was clever, but no matter how clever, it was still murder for hire."
Kang Daohang's face was grim.
"They've been setting up this trap for quite some time."
"Although Hong Kong has a population of six million, finding a suitable cancer patient who is willing to give up everything isn't easy."
"Superintendent Lo Chung-lun has been on their kill list for a long time."
"What audacity!"
Lin Feng shook his head slightly:
"You're mistaken. They weren't necessarily targeting Lo Chung-lun. That night, whoever went out to meet—I'm talking about Director Guan, Lo Chung-lun, and Inspector Cheng Guobin—whichever of the three went out would be killed."
"It just so happened that Lo Chung-lun was the one who went out."
Kang Daohang did not change his judgment.
"Regardless, this is a provocation against the Police Force."
Lin Feng nodded heavily:
"You're not wrong about that. It is indeed a provocation against the Police Force."
Kang Daohang sincerely said:
"Our objectives are generally consistent. I ask Mr. Lin to tell me the member information of that Golden Club... so I can round them all up."
Lin Feng gave him a strange look:
"You have the ability to round them all up?"
Kang Daohang's heart sank:
"Just from the people who have appeared, this is already a formidable force."
"No matter how many difficulties there are, things still need to be done."
Lin Feng said, amused:
"Richard is a Senior Superintendent in the Political Department, you know that."
Kang Daohang's expression was firm:
"The Political Department is indeed difficult to deal with, but no matter how difficult, they must be brought to justice."
Lin Feng gave him a thumbs up:
"Well done."
"Then let me tell you who is in this Golden Club."
"From the Triad, they have..."
Kang Daohang smiled:
"Ah Tim, I know."
Lin Feng continued:
"Stock market trading elites, at least three of them, controlling over a thousand accounts."
"More than one banking magnate."
Kang Daohang forced a smile:
"We are mentally prepared."
Lin Feng still smiled cheerfully,
"There's no need to mention Richard, that Foreigner, but do you know that among the upper echelons of the Golden Club, there's a big shot who came from the Security Bureau?"
Kang Daohang stopped smiling.
Lin Feng hadn't finished speaking:
"Not only are there big shots from the Security Bureau, but they also have close ties with the ICAC."
Kang Daohang exclaimed:
"The ICAC also has people involved?"
Lin Feng said, surprised:
"Your position determines your perspective! The Commissioner of the ICAC is a Foreigner, and he is accountable to the Foreigners. Does he care about your concerns?"
"You don't actually think the ICAC is truly incorruptible, do you?"
Kang Daohang's face began to turn green.
Lin Feng continued:
"As for the leader of the Golden Club, he's even more formidable."
"He has served the Hong Kong Government for over twenty years and is a highly influential figure."
"In the council, any motion he champions has never failed to pass."
Kang Daohang's face had completely darkened.
Lin Feng summarized:
"Police, Triad, politics, business, ICAC..."
"I'm truly happy for Chief Huang that you have the confidence to face this behemoth."
Kang Daohang swayed slightly, looking at Lin Feng in shock. This guy really won't stop until he drops a bombshell.
The elite of the Intelligence Department would not think that Lin Feng was deliberately deceiving him; there was no point to that.
As long as he investigated a little, he would always find clues.
Kang Daohang was now completely uninterested in the intelligence network behind Lin Feng. Lin Feng was not the enemy; the club Richard belonged to was.
His entire focus was on this club.
"When I came here, I had already prepared myself mentally. I truly believed that as long as I obtained the relevant intelligence from you, I would uproot that network."
"I never expected..."
"This is even harder than Lu Zhishen pulling up the willow tree."
The root system of willow trees is exceptionally well-developed, and the complex root system of a small, arm-thick willow tree is beyond imagination.
Lu Zhishen truly possessed natural divine strength.
Kang Daohang also wanted to be Lu Zhishen for once. Now, thinking about it, he was truly a bit overconfident.
Lin Feng said seriously:
"You are a police officer; I won't interfere with what you do."
"But I must state in advance that if you want to make a move against the Golden Club, you must strike to kill."
"You know the consequences of failing to kill a tiger."
Kang Daohang nodded heavily.
"Today, we know that Ah Tim is Richard's pawn in Sun Luen Shing. If it weren't for Richard, and the Golden Club behind Richard, we would have dealt with Ah Tim long ago."
"But now we can't. We can't do that. Do you understand what I mean?"
Kang Daohang smiled bitterly:
"To avoid alerting the enemy, right?"
Lin Feng said leisurely:
"Our Triad's days are not easy, and your Police Force isn't doing much better."
"Just one Richard makes you so hesitant."
"And there's George!"
"Kang Sir, if you don't have the conviction to fight them, it's better to just give up."
Kang Daohang was silent for a long while, then retorted:
"Are we supposed to leave such a troublesome matter for others to handle?"
"I'd rather die in the line of duty than be a coward who deserts in battle."
Lin Feng gave him a thumbs up:
"Good man."
"Chief Huang didn't misjudge you."
"Alright, that's enough talk for today. Let's go back."
Kang Daohang was stunned:
"Mr. Lin, you haven't specifically told me who they are yet..."
Lin Feng said, amused:
"You are a Senior Supervisor in the Intelligence Department. The hints I've given you are already enough."
"If you still can't figure out who they are... I think you'd best stop investigating."
"You won't be able to defeat them."
Kang Daohang was speechless.
That's right, it really seemed to be the case.
Lin Feng waved his hand:
"See you next time. Remember to say hello to Chief Huang for me."
Kang Daohang asked strangely:
"Mr. Lin, why do you like meeting people here?"
Lin Feng retorted:
"Is it not good here?"
"Don't tell me you prefer rooftops or abandoned underground passages?"
Kang Daohang looked at Lin Feng as if he had seen a ghost. Those were indeed the two places he preferred to meet informants.
Lin Feng laughed heartily:
"Looks like I was right."
"I suggest you choose to meet people by the sea like me. Hong Kong is surrounded by the sea on all sides. Watching the sea or fishing, isn't that a very normal thing to do?"
"You want to go to the rooftop... be careful not to be turned into a human projectile."
Kang Daohang immediately felt a chill.
Lin Feng waved his hand:
"See you next time."
Kang Daohang watched Lin Feng's disappearing back in a daze, then quickly pulled out his phone and called Wong Bing-Yiu:
"Chief, I need to see you. Something big has happened!"
Returning to Victoria Peak, Li Fu asked:
"Brother Feng, was it necessary for us to tell Chief Huang so much?"
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"The Foreigners' goal is to destabilize Hong Kong, which goes against our interests, and it also goes against Chief Huang's interests."
"The Police Force is our natural ally."
"The local faction will absolutely not allow George and Richard to mess around like this."
"Currently, George and Richard haven't joined forces, which is good news for us."
"If the two Foreigners were to join forces, and if George were to enter the Golden Club, with his official position plus the immense power of the Golden Club... they could truly command the winds and summon the rains."
"That would be a disaster for us."
"We absolutely cannot allow them to merge."
"Therefore, we must eliminate one of them before they realize each other's power and decide to join forces."
"The Police Force is a huge help."
"Appropriately revealing information about the Golden Club is a good thing for us."
"This way, it can both put the Police Force on alert and help them avoid many detours."
"Why not do it?"
"Besides, I didn't just spill all the information to them."
"That would be meaningless."
"Just revealing the key forces is enough; they will definitely investigate desperately."
"Leaving aside everything else, just the one from the Security Bureau, would they dare not investigate him?"
In Hong Kong, the Security Bureau, one of the Three Secretaries and Thirteen Bureaus, oversees the Police Force; that is the true superior of Wong Bing-Yiu and his colleagues.
Would Wong Bing-Yiu dare not investigate?
If he dared not investigate, when the hidden arrows came flying, he wouldn't even know how he died.
"Let's go, let's go see Jian Jun and their training."
The two arrived at Li Fu's villa in Mid-Levels, which had already become the secret training ground for the Security Company.
There was no other way; Wang Jianjun and the others had just arrived in Hong Kong and had no extra income, so they couldn't afford to buy a big house.
Li Fu was also their former company commander, so of course, he couldn't let them stay outside—housing conditions in Hong Kong are a real headache.
So, all the men set up camp there.
When the two arrived, they saw Li Jie pressing Lok Chi-ming in the boxing ring.
Lin Feng clapped and cheered, even shouting:
"Ah Jie, hit him harder!"
Having received his boss's instructions, Li Jie naturally showed even less mercy.
He practiced Bagua, which was known for its ruthless techniques.
With two palms, Lok Tin-hung involuntarily flew backward, almost twisting his neck.
Bang bang bang!
Lok Tin-hung pounded the floor hard:
"Brother Jie, how did you improve so fast?"
"We were evenly matched before."
Li Jie looked at him speechlessly and, after a long while, said:
"Is it possible that I didn't improve, but you regressed?"
Lok Tin-hung yelled:
"Impossible!"
"I train my body every day, fight with you guys every day; I'm still growing, I don't lack exercise, and it's when my skills should be increasing…"
Li Jie said expressionlessly:
"You're more diligent in bed, aren't you?"
Lok Tin-hung was slightly stunned.
Li Jie said meaningfully:
"Tin Hung, being a 'seven-times-a-night' man is indeed impressive, but it's not good for your martial arts progress."
"Young people need to exercise restraint!"
Lok Tin-hung wailed:
"You're only a little over ten years older than me; I will definitely defeat you."
Li Jie cupped his hands and stepped down from the boxing ring expressionlessly.
He didn't want to be the best in the world, so what was there to be proud of in defeating him?
Lok Tin-hung felt aggrieved.
"Wine is a poison that passes through the gut, lust is a blade that scrapes the bone. I am determined to be the best in the world; from today onwards—no more drinking!"
Lin Feng said with a smile:
"Tin Hung, if you don't work harder, you'll have a lot to suffer in the future."
"It's basically impossible for you to defeat me."
"In fact, you can't even defeat Xiao Fu."
Wang Jianjun interjected faintly:
"Forget Brother Fu, he can't even beat me."
The Blue-haired Kid was furious:
"I will definitely defeat you all!"
Wang Jianjun asked:
"When do you plan to defeat us and reach the top?"
"Three years, five years, ten years?"
"Or how about you wait until I'm fifty before challenging me?"
Lok Tin-hung was enraged:
"You just wait, I will definitely defeat you."
Wang Jianjun replied rather perfunctorily:
"Alright, alright, we'll wait."
He ignored the impotently furious Blue-haired Kid and turned to Lin Feng, saying,
"Boss, we went to the Grand Hyatt Hotel again today and made a floor plan."
Li Jie immediately pulled out a blackboard.
On it was a traffic schematic of the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
"This is a detailed view of the Grand Hyatt Hotel that I obtained through an architect who works as an auxiliary police officer."
Hong Kong also has auxiliary police, but compared to the Mainland, the auxiliary police are truly auxiliary police.
They are part-time.
Their affiliation with the Police Force is complementary.
Most of them are excellent professionals from other industries who work part-time on weekends or when they have free time.
The Hong Kong Police Force has such a need—among a population of six million, there are only twenty to thirty thousand police officers in total, and this includes various administrative, logistics, and other clerical positions.
Police manpower is quite insufficient, and thus the auxiliary police were born.
The Police Force also welcomes these specialized individuals to join the auxiliary Police Force, as they bring various professional capabilities to the police.
One of Li Jie's auxiliary police friends is a professional architect, and coincidentally, he participated in the design work of the Concord Building:
"This is just a rough sketch; detailed blueprints are not convenient to disclose to us due to professional ethics, but even this is enough."
"You see, there are only two routes for leaving the Concord Building: one is through the elevators on the first floor, exiting through the main entrance; the other is through the elevators to the basement parking lot, leaving by car."
"The Doctor will definitely control these two areas."
Lin Feng stroked his chin and asked:
"When you went, did you observe the quality of their guards?"
Wang Jianjun explained:
"We went under the name of Thunder Security Company, which is a well-known large foreign Security Company. They were very welcoming to our exchange."
"Then we saw the arrangements they had made."
Lin Feng asked with great curiosity:
"They shared such confidential matters with you?"
Wang Jianjun laughed:
"We are a legitimate company, and we also have gun permits."
"The other party is not wary of us."
"Moreover, they also want to penetrate the Hong Kong market more deeply, so showcasing their strong selling points to us is also a form of publicity."
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"What do you think?"
Wang Jianjun scoffed:
"Not good."
Li Jie frowned and said:
"On this point, I agree with Brother Jun's assessment; it's really not good."
"The quality of those security personnel is extremely low; they have barely received military training, which is only at the level of ordinary uniformed officers in Hong Kong."
Lin Feng shook his head as he listened.
The level of uniformed officers is not low, but the problem is that they will be facing the Doctor, not anyone else.
He is a veteran who has been on the battlefield, with extremely high tactical capabilities; whether individually or collectively, his tactical proficiency is not on the same level at all.
Most importantly, when they pick up firearms, they are a great weapon on the battlefield. How can ordinary security personnel stop them?
"Not only that."
"The security personnel they arranged in the main lobby are even more ordinary."
"They might be able to guard against ordinary people, but against ruthless bandits, they're basically like paper."
Li Jie added,
"This Security Company relies too much on their equipment."
"Those three covers are made of bulletproof glass, and they even have self-destruct devices installed inside. If someone tries to break them with brute force from the outside, the box containing the jewelry will explode."
"It sounds very secure, but the problem is that since it's controlled by a computer password, all one needs to do is break through the computer's defenses."
"I understand the Doctor; if he dares to act, he must be confident in cracking the password."
"Those three glass covers are actually not secure."
Lin Feng asked Li Fu,
"How is your communication with the Hong Kong Island Police Headquarters going?"
Li Fu replied:
"I reported it to the Hong Kong Island Police Headquarters as a good citizen, and their reply was that the heroic detective Chan Ka-Kui will patrol and guard the Grand Hyatt Hotel tomorrow."
"I hope this heroic detective lives up to his name."
Lin Feng smiled:
"I know Chan Ka-Kui; he's a very capable police officer, but he can't do it alone."
"We have to go."
Li Jie gritted his teeth and said:
"I must personally kill the Doctor."
Lin Feng gently patted his shoulder:
"Your business is my business, don't worry."
Li Jie turned to look, and Li Fu, the Wang Jianjun brothers, and Lok Tin-hung all nodded vigorously at him.
"Thank you, thank you everyone."
Lin Feng patted his shoulder again:
"What nonsense are you saying? There's no need at all."
"Between brothers, why be so formal?"
Li Jie felt warm inside, but still said:
"I must say thank you."
Lin Feng smiled and said:
"Alright, you guys continue to research. We'll send the Doctor on his way tomorrow."
Li Jie's eyes lit up!
Lin Feng bid farewell to everyone and returned home. He had barely sat down when he received a call from Liang Kun:
"Ah Feng, is the Sun Luen Shing matter very troublesome?"
Lin Feng sighed:
"It's very troublesome. The Golden Club has quite a background…"
Lin Feng had nothing to hide from Liang Kun, so he told him everything. Liang Kun's expression changed:
"When did such a behemoth appear in the underworld?"
Lin Feng's answer was very practical:
"It's probably been around for many years, but we didn't know about it because we never had any dealings with them before."
"Brother Kun, why are you asking about them?"
Liang Kun was still in shock:
"It's not me asking—I trust you completely with your work—it's Chiang Tin-Sung who wants to know."
"He's very interested in the Golden Club and asked me to ask you if this force can be brought under his control."
Lin Feng's head started to ache:
"Mr. Chiang is going crazy!"
"Is that kind of power something Triad people can control?"
"Boss, their level far exceeds Chiang Tin-Sung's; does he want to die?"
Liang Kun also frowned:
"You're right. Politics, business, police, ICAC, Triad… whoever touches it dies."
"It doesn't matter if Chiang Tin-Sung dies, but don't drag us down!"
"I'll try my best to persuade him."
***
Chapter 136: Obsession is a Poison Pill! (Part 1)
"Brother Kun, I've already told you the details of the Golden Club, twice even."
"Do you remember how you reacted the first time you heard it?" Lin Feng asked meaningfully over the phone.
Liang Kun grumbled, "You really know how to rub salt in the wound."
"I remember, I was scared to death!"
Lin Feng was completely puzzled: "But today... you can calmly ask about it again?"
Liang Kun chuckled, "The first time I didn't know the situation, so I was completely bluffed."
"Later, I thought about it... if my Ah Feng even wants to backstab them, then what do I have to be afraid of?"
"Then came Mr. Chiang's question."
"That's when I realized, everyone in the Triad says I'm crazy, but there are far crazier people in Hung Hing than me."
"You want to backstab them."
"Mr. Chiang also wants to control them and make them his own."
"Heh, it turns out I'm the only normal one."
The Mong Kok Hall Master complained wildly,
"This is a super force capable of promoting the expansion of Sham Shui Po; they could crush us with a single finger."
"When a normal person encounters such a behemoth, shouldn't they run as far as possible?"
"Look at you, and then look at Mr. Chiang, both incredibly excited."
"Compared to you two, I'm just reacting like a normal Triad member should."
Lin Feng retorted, "I was prepared, and I had everything ready to minimize the potential impact from them."
"Chiang Tin-Sung is truly crazy!"
"How could he even think of such a thing?"
Liang Kun shrugged, "Hearing you say it once was shocking, but after hearing you say it a second time, my heart calmed down."
"We're going to have to confront the Golden Club eventually, so what's the use of being afraid?"
Lin Feng laughed heartily, "For life, two brothers."
Liang Kun sighed, "Forget it, I'll go to Mr. Chiang's villa again and talk some sense into him."
Lin Feng reminded him, "We can launch a sneak attack, but Mr. Chiang cannot do such a thing."
"The Hung Hing Chairman Dragon Head is too eye-catching, and a top ten Triad is a natural amplifier."
"His target is too big; if he really confronts them, our entire Hung Hing will become their target."
Liang Kun suddenly asked, "Ah Feng... what if Chiang Tin-Sung dies because of this?"
Lin Feng immediately understood: "Brother Kun, have you forgotten? Chiang Tin-Sung also has a younger brother, Chiang Tin-Yeung."
Liang Kun fell silent.
Lin Feng advised, "Brother Kun, I know you want to become the Hung Hing Chairman."
"Hung Hing has a legacy."
"Although it's not like Sun Yee On, where it's always father to son, or brother to brother, honestly... in the generation of the Chiang brothers, the tradition of Hung Hing belonging to the Chiang family will not change."
"Even if something happens to Chiang Tin-Sung, the elders in Amsterdam will not let Hung Hing fall into the hands of non-Chiang family members."
"It's not that the elders are so loyal to the Chiang family, but rather that the Chiang family has ensured their comfortable retirement."
"The uncles will absolutely not agree to an outsider taking the Chairman position."
Liang Kun fell silent.
"However, if a Chiang family member voluntarily gives it up, it's a different story entirely."
"Chiang Tin-Sung wants to go legitimate, and that's his weakness."
"For us, this is good news."
Liang Kun sighed, "How long will that take?"
Lin Feng shook his head, "Boss, you haven't even married your wife yet; at least wait until you have a child before taking that deadly position, okay?"
Liang Kun spat angrily and hung up the phone.
He really knows how to rub salt in the wound.
The younger brother has grown up and now knows how to annoy his elder brother.
He was cuter when he was little... Bah, he was like this even when he was little.
Liang Kun was very depressed and called out to Chicken:
"Let's go to Mr. Chiang's place."
Chicken reminded him, "Boss, Mr. Chiang doesn't like people disturbing him at night."
Liang Kun snorted, "He's going to his death, and he wants to drag the entire Triad down with him..."
"I can not go, will you accompany him to his death?"
Chicken was startled and quickly told Mo Chiu-Nam to arrange a car.
Accompany Chiang Tin-Sung to his death?
Forget it.
Mo Chiu-Nam drove, and Liang Kun smoked sullenly in the car.
"Is the boss unhappy?"
"Don't worry, just give me the money, and I'll solve it for you."
"No matter who made you unhappy, I'll bring you their head."
Liang Kun rolled his eyes, "Chiang Tin-Sung made me unhappy, will you kill him too?"
Mo Chiu-Nam was very calm: "Enough money, and I'll even kill the Governor for you."
Liang Kun's mood instantly brightened.
This kid Ah Wu, although he's a money-grubber and his skills are a bit rusty, his professional ethics are impeccable.
In the Triad, loyal people are rare.
He had such a person by his side, he was happy!
Chicken asked, "Brother Kun, are we really going to kill Chiang Tin-Sung?"
"The three of us aren't enough, are we?"
"Should I call Brother Feng? He has many experts there."
Liang Kun was even happier; his new enforcer was also like this.
Mo Chiu-Nam became anxious: "Boss, it's just killing Chiang Tin-Sung, why involve Causeway Bay?"
"That's a major weapon."
"Just add a little bit more money, just a little bit is enough."
Chicken said uncertainly, "Ah Wu, although you can fight, you're beaten like a sandbag every day."
"Brother Feng said that if you successfully challenge Tin Hung, he'll reward you with ten million, but you've never succeeded, have you?"
Mo Chiu-Nam's face turned red, and he angrily said, "I will defeat him eventually."
Chicken pouted,
"You didn't challenge Tin Hung when he was having seven times a night; you won't have such a good opportunity next time."
Mo Chiu-Nam yelled, "Ah! Ah!"
Did he not want to challenge him?
Bah!
Look at who's in Causeway Bay.
Lin Feng, the fierce man who took down Situ with one palm.
Li Fu, a pervert whose combat power is on par with Prince.
Wang Jianjun, the three-edged bayonet War God.
These three are already perverted, and recently, Li Jie was added.
These four are all people Lok Tin-hung can't beat, and they are also Lok Tin-hung's challenge targets; of course, he can't beat them either.
Mo Chiu-Nam had thought last time that if he couldn't beat Lok Tin-hung in a one-on-one fight, at least his skills would be better than theirs.
But in the competition of the Vietnamese Three Brothers... his skills were not even as good as theirs.
The people in Causeway Bay are simply poisonous!
Mo Chiu-Nam saw clearly that Lok Tin-hung was not someone to be challenged casually. Those four clearly treated Lok Tin-hung like a younger brother. If he were to challenge Lok Tin-hung while he was drained by women... Lin Feng would have Li Fu and the other two 'discuss martial arts' with him.
Mo Chiu-Nam loved money, but he wasn't brainless.
Liang Kun's mood brightened considerably after being teased by these two clowns,
"You two fools, who said we were going to kill Chiang Tin-Sung?"
"Remember, from now on, when others mention Chiang Tin-Sung, you must show respect."
"We are from Hung Hing Mong Kok."
Chicken let out a long "Oh."
Liang Kun's good mood was ruined by the "Oh," so he reached out his devil's claws and vigorously rubbed and kneaded.
"What the hell are you 'oh-ing' about?"
Chicken felt wronged; couldn't he even say "oh" casually?
Mo Chiu-Nam saw this scene in the rearview mirror, and his lips curled slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.
It seemed like there was a time when he also played around like this with his brothers, right?
After Chicken finally managed to tidy his hair, Liang Kun said:
"When we get to Mr. Chiang's place later, make sure to control your expressions."
"No matter what you hear, don't be too surprised."
Mo Chiu-Nam was indifferent: "Boss, as long as you pay me more, everything else is negotiable."
Liang Kun ignored him directly.
Chicken said with a wry smile, "The experiences of the past few days have reshaped my worldview; I'll manage my expression."
Liang Kun shook his head: "Not enough!"
"What we're going to talk about this time is a monumental matter."
Chicken immediately said, "Then we two just won't listen."
Liang Kun thought for a moment and said, "We'll see how Mr. Chiang arranges it."
Chicken was very curious. His recent experiences had already reshaped his worldview. In such a situation, he truly didn't believe there was anything else that could move him.
However, his experience of being in the Triad since childhood told him one thing—to grasp the proper measure.
When the boss should tell you, he will definitely tell you.
Liang Kun glanced at Chicken: "This matter is very troublesome; I'll tell you later. There's no time now."
As he spoke, they had already arrived at Chiang Tin-Sung's villa.
Chan Yiu was already waiting outside:
"Ah Kun, Mr. Chiang is waiting for you."
"Chicken, accompany me to sit next door for a while."
So, the three parted ways.
Chiang Tin-Sung had prepared wine for Liang Kun: "Ah Kun, this is the fine French wine that the uncles gave me when I visited them in Amsterdam last time."
"Taste it."
Liang Kun smiled and thanked him:
When I used to sell fish balls, I always envied those big shots on TV drinking red wine. The first thing I did after I started working and earning money was to buy red wine to try...
Only to find out, red wine, well, it's just that.
It's very tart.
A two-hundred-dollar bottle of wine, it actually needs to be decanted before you can drink it.
It's simply speechless.
Chiang Tin-Sung was truly speechless.
Is undedecanted red wine good?
Later, when Ah Feng studied, he told me that this stuff is naturally tart, which is a common problem with fruit wines, and it can't be removed.
However, compared to grain-brewed alcohol, it has a unique flavor.
Compared to baijiu, the only advantage is that it allows you to show off.
Chiang Tin-Sung was stunned and speechless.
Looking at the precious red wine on the table, he didn't know whether to drink it or not.
After a long while, he said,
"Ah Kun, you are truly carefree."
Liang Kun laughed heartily:
"Mr. Chiang, I am just a rough man who started by selling fish balls. Now I'm learning to wear suits and drink red wine like others, but it's just a pretense of elegance, not worth mentioning."
"You're wasting such an expensive and good wine on me."
"I can't tell the difference between a two-hundred-dollar bottle and a two-hundred-hong kong dollar bottle."
"Just any will do."
"It's the taste of showing off that matters."
Chiang Tin-Sung was amused, and the gloom from earlier vanished.
"Ah Kun, you're too funny!"
Liang Kun smiled and said:
"Just telling the truth."
The two of them truly drank a glass as if showing off, and Chiang Tin-Sung eagerly asked:
"What did Ah Feng say?"
Liang Kun's wine glass paused in his hand, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth,
"Mr. Chiang, this Golden Club is not easy to deal with."
Chiang Tin-Sung smiled and nodded:
"Yes, I know it's not easy to deal with."
"But the harder it is, the more it shows the other party's power."
"If we can make them work for us, won't we be able to make more money?"
"money will pour in like a mountain of gold and silver, isn't this much better than anything else?"
Chiang Tin-Sung had never thought of unifying the underworld. Perhaps he had such a delusion when he first started, but after he had been in the Triad for a while, he completely dispelled that idea.
Anyone who harbors the thought of unifying the underworld is simply tired of living.
If he actually succeeded, the police would be watching him twenty-five hours a day.
No matter what he did, a police van would be not far from him.
The number of Triad members is dozens of times that of the police. If he were to unify, perhaps the Governor's words would not be as effective as his. Who would they target if not him?
Chiang Tin-Sung's goal was to make money, to make big money!
He's already the Dragon Head of Hung Hing, if he doesn't make big money, how can he greet others?
Everyone is a lowlifes in the Triad, they want nothing but money. Are they pursuing brotherly loyalty?
Don't be ridiculous.
Under normal circumstances, this situation wasn't that urgent.
Hung Hing was operating very successfully.
The model of the Twelve Hall Masters sharing power with the Dragon Head allowed Hung Hing to firmly establish itself among the top ten Triads.
And because he promoted talented individuals, the Triad earned money that his Old Man, Chiang Chen, would never have even dreamed of during his lifetime.
From every perspective, Chiang Tin-Sung was a successful Triad Chairman, an elite Young and Dangerous second-generation.
However, it depends on who he was compared to.
Chiang Tin-Sung was doing quite well in Hong Kong, but compared to his brother, Chiang Tin-Yeung, in Siam, there was a real gap.
Although Siam was not the Hong Kong headquarters, Chiang Tin-Yeung was truly formidable, a genuine big shot in both the legal and illegal worlds.
Chiang Tin-Yeung also didn't deal in drugs, yet he could easily provide two exclusive routes from the Golden Triangle. His extensive connections were truly impressive.
Chiang Tin-Sung was very pleased that his younger brother was capable.
But his younger brother being too capable became Chiang Tin-Sung's inner demon.
Both were second-generation Triad members, and Chiang Chen clearly chose him, Chiang Tin-Sung, but why was Chiang Tin-Yeung doing better than him?
He absolutely could not accept it!
This became Chiang Tin-Sung's obsession.
Obsession is obsession, Chiang Tin-Sung had no intention of killing his younger brother, nor did he even consider falling out with him, as this was his own flesh and blood after all.
But the idea of competing was definitely there.
"I am the legitimate eldest grandson, my talent should be superior to yours, and I will definitely develop the Hung Hing headquarters better than your branch in Siam!"
This was Chiang Tin-Sung's obsession.
Originally, there was no hope, especially after Sai B was killed.
Even emperors need the support of their trusted aides. Chiang Tin-Sung had lost his most obedient dog, so what was he to do?
He never expected that Liang Kun from Mong Kok and Lin Feng from Causeway Bay would give him a huge surprise.
During this period, Hung Hing's influence and prestige had both been greatly strengthened.
Sai B's death had initially dealt a blow to Hung Hing's morale.
However, Lin Feng's successive actions not only prevented Hung Hing's morale from declining but also significantly boosted Hung Hing's strength!
This made Chiang Tin-Sung see the hope of completely surpassing Chiang Tin-Yeung.
Liang Kun was half-choked, straightened his body, and asked seriously:
"Mr. Chiang, how much do you know about the Golden Club?"
Chiang Tin-Sung smiled and said:
"I don't know much... There are some real estate developers, bank tycoons, stock traders, and also Richard and that newly joined Ah Tim."
"If Ah Tim can join, why can't I, Chiang Tin-Sung?"
Liang Kun sighed:
"What is Ah Tim? How can he compare to you?"
Chiang Tin-Sung was in a good mood.
That's right, what kind of nobody is Ah Tim? I, Chiang Tin-Sung, am the Dragon Head of Hung Hing.
Liang Kun suddenly asked:
"Is Mr. Chiang planning to deal in drugs?"
Chiang Tin-Sung looked at him deeply and advised:
"Ah Kun, there are many ways to make money. You have Ah Feng supporting you, so many paths to choose from, why deal in drugs?"
Liang Kun was bewildered,
"Mr. Chiang, when did I ever say I wanted to deal in drugs?"
"Ah Feng hates drug dealing the most. If he wasn't lazy, he'd wipe out every drug dealer he met."
"Ah Feng is like that, and his subordinates share similar views."
"Xiao Fu, Jian Jun, and Tin Hung are all like that."
"How could I possibly deal in drugs?"
Chiang Tin-Sung was also bewildered:
"Then what did you mean by asking me that just now?"
Liang Kun sighed:
"It's just the literal meaning."
Chiang Tin-Sung said seriously:
"I won't hide it from you, I'm preparing to go legitimate. This life of being constantly watched by the police is too difficult."
"If I succeed in going legitimate, I'll be a legitimate businessman. I don't want to touch harmful things like drug dealing."
Liang Kun immediately said:
"If Mr. Chiang doesn't want to deal in drugs, then you can't enter the Golden Club."
Chiang Tin-Sung frowned:
"What does that mean?"
Liang Kun explained:
"Although the members of the Golden Club are not on the Hong Kong rich list, they are still high-society figures."
"Richard and Ah Tim are not qualified to enter."
"The reason they can join this club is because they provide initial funding for the club."
Chiang Tin-Sung felt it was quite absurd:
"A Foreign Superintendent and a Triad boss providing initial funding for a large group of wealthy people?"
"Is that normal?"
Liang Kun said helplessly:
"This isn't a normal club to begin with."
"The club's name is 'Golden,' not because their members possess golden wealth, but because they are looking for gold."
"If Ah Feng hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known how they operate."
Things had reached this point, and Liang Kun had to dispel Chiang Tin-Sung's terrifying idea.
Was the Golden Club something easy to get involved with?
It was a landmine.
Once involved, Hung Hing could forget about getting out.
Liang Kun quickly explained the operating model of the Golden Club.
Chiang Tin-Sung's face changed unpredictably, turning pale and then red, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Liang Kun didn't disturb him, and boredly drank red wine.
He couldn't distinguish the taste, anyway, he was just drinking it for fun.
"No, if it's operated like this, these mid-level figures alone can't do it."
Chiang Tin-Sung's brows were so furrowed they could trap a tiny mosquito.
However, he still wanted to struggle a bit, and no matter what, he had to try to bring that club under his control.
Liang Kun sighed again,
"That's right, doing something like this is very dangerous and requires a highly respected person to preside over it."
"Ah Feng told me that there are three big figures in the club that the Triad absolutely cannot get involved with."
Chiang Tin-Sung didn't believe it:
"What kind of big shots are so powerful?"
