Hong Kong variety show: Hung Hing, are you contributing to society?

Chicken tried to defend himself: "Brother B, it has nothing to do with Brother Nan, it's just that bastard Babi is too cunning..."

"Shut up! Is it your turn to speak?" Boss B's curses grew even louder.

Lin Yaodong remained expressionless, his steps never faltering as he continued down the stairs.

The shouts, explanations, and possibly more slaps behind him seemed to have nothing to do with him.

He was unusually calm, as if all the bloodshed he had just experienced and the internal gang reprimands that were currently taking place were just insignificant episodes.

His heart had already flown to a much farther place.

The implication in Big Brother B's sentence, "There might be something going on in the club these days, I'll call you again," was already very clear.

This time, he saved Boss B's entire family and made such a great contribution. Boss B should recommend him highly to the leader, Jiang Tiansheng, both morally and logically.

By making an appearance before the Hung Hing leader and gaining his approval, one is not far from taking a higher position.

Let's think of another way... The Hall Master... The Dragon Head... won't be far off.

Lin Yaodong was making plans in his mind.

Once you become the leader of Hung Hing and control one of the top triads in Hong Kong, you can reportedly command as many as 40,000 henchmen!

What does 40,000 people mean?

This is not just about 40,000 capable gangsters; behind these 40,000 henchmen are at least 200,000 families, and their influence extends to hundreds of thousands of relatives and friends...

This intricate network of relationships has permeated almost every aspect of Hong Kong society.

If this force can be effectively integrated and guided...

At that time, one-tenth of the population of Hong Kong Island will be closely related to Lam Yiu-tung's network of influence.

A glint of light flashed in Lin Yaodong's eyes.

Many people may think that supporting so many people is a huge burden and a hindrance, but if the methods are right and the operation is proper, this huge population itself is an unparalleled potential and strength!

Whether it's information gathering, resource allocation, or the penetration of influence, it will reach an astonishing level.

With the system added to the mix... Lin Yaodong thought of his greatest asset.

By 97... I, Lin Yaodong, might not necessarily be unable to become a "patriot"...

A vague but grand idea flashed through Lin Yaodong's mind. He immediately composed himself, realizing it was too early to think about such things; taking things one step at a time was the key.

As I walked downstairs, the cool night breeze brushed against my face, dispelling some of the foul air from inside the building.

His key subordinates—Jiang Xin, A Zhong, A Yi, and others—were waiting by the car, their faces filled with barely suppressed excitement and anticipation.

They all knew that Dong Ge had turned the tide tonight, not only saving B Ge's entire family but also personally dealing with Ba Bi, making a tremendous contribution and being on the verge of taking over!

In the Hong Kong underworld of this era, for these gangsters who had struggled their way up from the bottom, sometimes what was more gratifying than getting promoted and rising to prominence was having a good boss who was capable, promising, and generous to his brothers.

When the leader takes over, his cronies naturally rise in rank.

"Brother Dong!"

"Brother Dong!"

Seeing Lin Yaodong come down, the underlings straightened their backs and greeted him respectfully, their eyes burning with fervor.

Lin Yaodong smiled gently and patted them on the shoulder one by one: "Thank you for your hard work, brothers. You did a great job tonight."

He didn't waste any words, but his affirming gaze and simple actions greatly encouraged these men who had risked their lives for blood.

At that moment, the faint shouts coming from upstairs made Jiang Xin and the others secretly pleased.

Rival Chen Haonan's incompetence led to the eldest brother's family being in danger, and he is currently being reprimanded upstairs, and may even lose power.

With one side rising and the other falling, Dong Ge's popularity will surely soar to its zenith!

Just then, the system notification sound, which only he could perceive, rang clearly in his mind once again:

[Ding! Your subordinate has successfully killed Babi. Settlement in progress... According to the system's assessment, the target, 'Babi,' committed a series of serious crimes during his lifetime, including tax evasion, forcing women into prostitution, drug trafficking, intentional injury, and murder. He was extremely wicked and posed a great threat to society. His death was well-deserved, a service to the people.]

[Ding! Based on the above assessment, your subordinates have eliminated a major criminal target. You have received the following reward: Contribution Points +10000, and the special consumable 'Stock Prediction Card' *1.]

???

Lin Yaodong was slightly taken aback.

He thought that taking down a character of Ba Bi's caliber would yield a more generous reward of contribution points, but he didn't expect to be given a rare item directly—a stock prediction card!

With a slight thought, he summoned a personal panel that only he could see:

Host: Lin Yaodong

Age: 26

Physique: Strong (Advanced)

Skills: Free Fighting (Advanced), Vehicle Driving (Proficient)...

Items: ------ (List omitted, focus on new items)

Contribution points: 9992000 / 10000000 (Just one step away from the 10 million mark!)

Regional Reputation: 55% support among the elderly in Wan Chai District, and 35% favorability among the underprivileged in Sham Shui Po...

...

His attention immediately focused on the newly appeared icon in the [Items] section, which emitted a faint blue light—[Stock Prediction Card (Consumable)].

As he focused his attention, detailed information about the card flooded his mind:

[Stock Prediction Card (Extremely Rare)]:

After use, users will receive accurate daily price changes (opening price, highest price, lowest price, and closing price) for all listed stocks on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange over the next 60 days.

The information will be stored in the system's temporary space in the form of a searchable list, and will be valid for 60 days after use.

*Note: This card is a limited-time consumable item. If it is not used within 60 days from the date of acquisition, it will automatically disappear.

Extremely rare?

Lin Yaodong was shocked.

Once he fully understood the card's effect, even with his current composure, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement and his heart raced!

How to get the precise trend of all stocks in Hong Kong Island for the next two months?

This is simply... a magic tool that turns lead into gold!

This means that for the next 60 days, the stock market will no longer be a secret to him; it will be an open-pit gold mine from which he can take whatever he wants.

The only downside is that it has a time limit, and it will automatically disappear if not used... Lin Yaodong quickly calmed down and analyzed the restrictions.

His current capital base is still very thin; it will be much stronger once he has a large enough amount of funds.

Even if the precognitive card is not permanently effective, as long as it doesn't disappear, its value is immeasurable when used at the right time.

Even so, this card was enough for him to stir up a storm in the financial market and quickly accumulate astonishing wealth.

Moreover, this wealth is "clean," at least ostensibly legal, which can greatly alleviate his current reliance on illicit income and lay a solid foundation for future transformation.

However, I might be able to make this card play a greater role now... A thought quickly formed in Lin Yaodong's mind, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

If I use this information, I can not only make money for myself, but also cleverly "share" it to cultivate relationships with those powerful "backers," as well as those greedy uncles and leaders in the organization...

Trading future information for present support and connections is undoubtedly an extremely worthwhile deal.

With substantial financial backing and a wider network of connections within the organization, becoming the leader no longer seems like an unattainable dream.

"Ah Xin, drive."

Lin Yaodong opened the car door, sat in the back seat of the Bentley, and said in his usual calm tone, "Let's go back first."

"Okay, Brother Dong." Jiang Xin started the car.

The black Bentley slowly drove away from the chaotic neighborhood, temporarily leaving behind the shouts, grudges, and entanglements.

Lin Yaodong leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes to rest, but his mind was already racing, calculating how to transform this unexpected "stock prediction card" into the strongest aid to his path to the pinnacle of power.
