After Luo Ding Fa, Chu Feng, A Heng, and Luo Tian Hong left, A Wu also left the Zhong Yi Xin building, leaving only Lian Hao Dong sitting alone in the conference room.
After the meeting, Lian Hao Long had instructed Lian Hao Dong not to leave the conference room after the meeting.
Lian Hao Dong sat here smoking a cigarette, his expression complex, knowing that his older brother had bailed him out again.
In the movie, Lian Hao Dong is portrayed as a gambling addict, quick-tempered, and incapable of achieving anything. He slowly exhaled a smoke ring, lost in thought.
At this moment, footsteps approached.
“Dong dong dong.”
His sister-in-law Su Su entered the conference room and looked at Lian Hao Dong, saying:
“Hao Dong, your brother wants you to go to his office.”
Lian Hao Dong nodded and replied, “I know, Big Sister-in-Law.”
Lian Hao Dong extinguished his cigarette, then walked dejectedly to his older brother Lian Hao Long’s office. He stood before Lian Hao Long and gave a wry smile, “Big Brother.”
Lian Hao Dong was a habitual offender, and this time he had really messed up. Even though Zhong Yi Xin was a powerful force in Hong Kong, they couldn’t really fight the Water Room's Mo Luo Bing.
Moreover, it was only right to repay debts.
Lian Hao Long was sitting in his boss's chair smoking a cigar, his face dark and grim. Upon seeing Lian Hao Dong, he waved his hand helplessly:
“Sit down first, Hao Dong.”
Lian Hao Dong could only nod. He wasn’t afraid of anyone else in the society, but in front of Lian Hao Long, he was always well-behaved and obedient.
Lian Hao Long took a deep puff of his cigar, his expression gloomy. After all, he had just settled a debt of 60 million for Lian Hao Dong, and it wasn't a small sum.
Not only would the brothers have complaints, even he had complaints. If this continued, would the brothers even be able to make a living? The voices of dissatisfaction from below would only get louder.
Moreover, Lian Hao Long couldn't truly silence them because it was undeniably Lian Hao Dong’s fault.
As the leader, Lian Hao Long knew that the brothers below were grumbling because he had shown favoritism towards his younger brother more than once.
This time, he used the society’s money to settle the debt, it was only natural for people to be dissatisfied. Lian Hao Long didn’t know if Lian Hao Dong had truly taken his words to heart.
Lian Hao Long looked at Lian Hao Dong and said earnestly, “Hao Dong, although Zhong Yi Xin is the Lian family's, we can’t act so recklessly.”
“The brothers have all contributed so much money. This money belongs to everyone. You keep racking up these gambling debts. What will the brothers think? How can you be the big brother?”
Once you sat at the gambling table, no matter how much money you had, you could squander it all. To recoup your losses was a huge joke.
If Lian Hao Dong continued gambling like this, no amount of money would be enough to fill this hole. Gambling tables don't mind you winning money; they only fear you not coming to gamble.
Lian Hao Dong, upon hearing this, felt ashamed and swore with conviction:
“Big Brother, I know I was wrong, I will definitely change!”
Lian Hao Dong hung his head, looking like he had done something wrong.
Seeing Lian Hao Dong’s apologetic demeanor, Lian Hao Long felt a bit helpless. They had grown up together and struggled from being small-time crooks to achieving such a large enterprise. Lian Hao Long certainly didn’t want to start all over again.
Lian Hao Long looked at Lian Hao Dong and sighed again. He said word by word, “Hao Dong, it’s been hard for us to achieve this. I hope that you really change. Don't let me down again.”
Lian Hao Dong hadn't done much real work in the society. He was either gambling or causing trouble with the cops, never really doing business.
Many within Zhong Yi Xin thought Lian Hao Dong was useless, unable to do anything. If it wasn't for his brother, Lian Hao Long, he might have been kicked out of Zhong Yi Xin long ago.
Seeing Lian Hao Dong looking like he was about to cry, truly repentant, Lian Hao Long nodded. He was quite fond of his younger brother, otherwise he wouldn't have bailed him out so many times.
After the two brothers chatted about their past, Lian Hao Long's mood improved. He said to Lian Hao Dong:
“Hao Dong, go out first. Behave yourself and don’t go back to the gambling table.”
Lian Hao Dong nodded, “I know, Big Brother.”
After Lian Hao Dong left, Lian Hao Long picked up the phone and prepared to contact Mo Luo Bing to repay the debt.
…
On the other hand, Chu Feng, Luo Ding Fa, and A Heng arrived at the bar by car.
When Chu Feng and Luo Ding Fa returned to the bar, it was almost six o'clock. The atmosphere in the bar was slowly heating up, with some customers coming in to drink.
In the middle of the dance floor, there were specially hired hot girls performing, with loud and energetic music playing.
Chu Feng, Luo Ding Fa, and A Heng went to a booth on the second floor of the bar and sat down.
After Luo Ding Fa sat down, he couldn’t contain himself. He said coldly with a dark face, “Lian Hao Dong is a hopeless case. I really don’t understand how Dragon thinks.”
Earlier in the conference room, because Lian Hao Long was present, Luo Ding Fa couldn’t get angry. After all, no matter how useless Lian Hao Dong was, he was still Lian Hao Long's younger brother. He had to give him some face.
Therefore, Luo Ding Fa didn't dare to vent his anger in front of Lian Hao Long, and he also gave Lian Hao Dong some face.
But now that they were at the bar, Lian Hao Long wasn’t here, so he didn’t have to worry about anyone else's face. He vented his dissatisfaction here.
A Heng echoed him, “Fa Ge, this Lian Hao Dong is really arrogant. If it weren't for Dragon, I would have had enough of him.”
Chu Feng didn’t say anything, listening to the two of them complain.
At this time, Luo Ding Fa called to the bartender, “Bartender, bring two bottles of whiskey and two bottles of XO.”
The bartender nodded immediately, “Yes, Fa Ge.”
Soon, the bartender brought the drinks over and handed them to Luo Ding Fa.
Luo Ding Fa opened the whiskey and poured a glass for Chu Feng and A Heng:
“Let’s have a drink, it’s time to vent!”
He then poured a glass of wine for Chu Feng and A Heng, and the three of them sat there drinking, pushing their glasses around.
After a few drinks, A Heng remembered how Lian Hao Dong had looked down on him today. He immediately turned dark, cursing here:
“Lian Hao Dong is a real waste, good for nothing!”
Luo Ding Fa poured another glass for A Heng and Chu Feng. Knowing that A Heng had little money, he said to him:
“A Heng, if you need money, come to me. I will help you!”
A Heng immediately laughed, “Fa Ge, I've taken note of that.”
Chu Feng suddenly interjected, “A Fa, what’s the use of just talking? A Heng is our good brother!”
With that, Chu Feng directly signed a check for 1 million and handed it to A Heng:
“A Heng, take this 1 million and spend it. If it’s not enough, come to your Feng Ge to borrow more. Pay me back when you have money.”
Upon hearing this, A Heng was surprised that Chu Feng was so generous. He quickly called out, “Feng Ge, thank you.”
Chu Feng waved his hand, acting nonchalant, “A Heng, it’s nothing.”
Luo Ding Fa's eyes showed a hint of surprise. He hadn’t expected Chu Feng to actually give A Heng money!
Although he had said that A Heng could come to him if he needed money, Luo Ding Fa had just been saying it casually and had no intention of actually giving him any.
Who knew that his good brother Chu Feng would really give A Heng money? This money would probably just be wasted on A Heng. Could he even get it back?
Although Luo Ding Fa had his doubts, he didn’t ask directly. He laughed here, “A Heng, you have to toast your Feng Ge.”
A Heng, feeling bold, nodded, “No problem, Feng Ge. I’ll toast you.”
He then drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
Chu Feng, because of his system task, had to sow discord within Zhong Yi Xin. Therefore, he kept pouring A Heng wine, constantly stirring up trouble and saying to him:
“A Heng, Dong Ge will definitely change next time. Don’t take it to heart.”
A Heng, already drunk, coupled with his naturally quick temper, lost his composure. He shouted here, “Lian Hao Dong is a dog who can’t change his spots. It’s impossible for him to change. What Dong Ge? If it weren’t for his brother, Lian Hao Long, I’d kill this bastard in a minute!”
A Heng was completely drunk and no longer thinking straight. He spoke his mind, causing a scene in the bar, cursing Lian Hao Dong as a useless good-for-nothing, and his voice was loud.
Many people in the bar were taken aback when they heard this. They watched A Heng cause a scene, knowing that no one dared to talk about the big society like Zhong Yi Xin in public.
Otherwise, if it reached the person's ears, there would definitely be trouble.
Chu Feng immediately instructed Cang Ying, “Cang Ying, your Heng Ge is drunk. Arrange for some brothers to take him home by taxi.”
Cang Ying nodded, “Understood, Boss.”
He then took a few brothers and helped A Heng out.
After A Heng left, Luo Ding Fa finally expressed his doubts to Chu Feng, “A Feng, what’s wrong with you? It’s not like you. You actually gave A Heng 100,000? Money doesn't grow on trees.”
Chu Feng shook his head, “A Fa, what’s money?”
He paused and said in a low voice, “You and I, and Big Sister-in-Law, have embezzled a lot of money from Zhong Yi Xin. We all know it. We need to prepare early. Paper can’t contain fire. When things go bad, we'll have to fight with the Lian brothers.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Ding Fa’s face immediately turned ugly. He took a sip of wine, knowing that Chu Feng was speaking the truth.
Chu Feng lowered his voice, “A Fa, I recently got a batch of weapons. You need to prepare early. Now is a good time to win A Heng over. It’s nothing to give him 100,000.”
Luo Ding Fa nodded, finally understanding Chu Feng’s actions.
After all, the more people they could win over, the more confidence they would have when they finally fought the Lian brothers.
After they had a few more drinks, Chu Feng bid farewell to Luo Ding Fa and left, because Li Xin Xin was waiting for him at the villa.
…
Half an hour later, when Chu Feng returned to the villa, Li Xin Xin was already waiting for him. She was wearing a thin nightgown. Upon seeing Chu Feng, she quickly called out, “Feng Ge, you're back.”
She then poured a glass of milk for Chu Feng.
Chu Feng took off his suit and drank the milk in one gulp. Without any further ado, he hugged Li Xin Xin and went upstairs.
Li Xin Xin’s face turned slightly red, “Feng Ge, take a shower first.”
Chu Feng laughed heartily, “Let me get intimate with you for a while before I shower.”
He then hugged her and buried himself in the bedroom of his villa, practicing the whip techniques from the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic.
