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

On Lin Yaodong's side, Xiao Fu, Gao Jin, and Lin Liangshui also raised their glasses and stood up, and even the driver Jiang Xin substituted tea for wine.

Lin Yaodong still wore that gentle smile, raised his glass and said, "Haonan, and all the brothers, you're too kind. We all work for Brother B, we're all family, helping each other is our duty, thank you is too much."

"No matter what, it's all thanks to you that we have this chance to turn things around!" Chan Ho-nam said, tilting his head back and downing the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Pheasant and his companions also drank their toasts.

Lin Yaodong finished his beer and smiled.

His gaze swept over Chan Ho-nam's young and righteous face, and he couldn't help but think to himself:

Hao Nan, your loyalty is rare... but this is the world of gangsters...

This time, I'll trouble you to be the bait again.

With the collapse of the company, Liang Kun lost over 20 million in goods. Given his personality, he would never let it go so easily.

On Hong Kong Island, he might still be mindful of his fellow members of Hung Hing and the rules of the underworld, but if he were to leave Hong Kong Island...

Lin Yaodong takes one step and thinks three steps ahead.

If he wants to become a high-ranking official, then he needs a position.

With all twelve Hung Hing halls full, what seat would he be given?

Therefore, someone has to be ousted so that he can take over.

Setting down his wine glass, Lin Yaodong picked up his chopsticks and called to everyone, "Come on, let's eat! Don't just drink. The seafood here is all freshly caught and cooked, and the congee base has been simmering all day. It tastes really good."

The atmosphere warmed up again, and everyone began to enjoy their meal. The seafood was delicious, the porridge was comforting, and the beer was ice-cold, temporarily dispelling the disturbances of the martial world.

However, this harmony did not last long.

The door to the private room was flung open, and the restaurant owner rushed in, his face ashen and his forehead covered in cold sweat: "Brother Dong...Brother Dong! Something terrible has happened! Your car...your car has been driven away!"

Lin Yaodong paused slightly, his hand holding the food in his chopsticks. He looked up, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes: "???"

Jiang Xin, the full-time driver, is right here. Who's driving?

Car keys... He instinctively reached for his pocket, and his heart sank.

Chen Haonan and the others also put down their chopsticks, realizing that something was wrong.

"Let's go out and take a look." Lin Yaodong put down his chopsticks and stood up calmly.

The group quickly arrived at the roadside in front of the restaurant.

Chan Ho-nam's red MR2 was still parked there, while the spot where the black Bentley used to be was now empty.

Jiang Xin suddenly remembered something, her face turning extremely pale. She looked at Lin Yaodong, her voice tinged with uncertainty: "Brother Dong...did you forget to take the keys out of the car again when you got out?"

Lin Yaodong: "..."

He was born in 2025 and was already used to keyless entry and push-button start. In addition, Jiang Xin usually took care of the car, so he often forgot to remove the key when driving.

This oversight, which seems harmless in modern times, undoubtedly gave thieves an opportunity in Hong Kong in the 1990s.

Chan Ho-nam exclaimed in shock: "Ah Tung, your car has been stolen."

Lin Yaodong looked at Chen Haonan with a strange expression. According to "common sense", shouldn't it be Chen Haonan's more flashy sports car that was stolen, which was also easier to sell?

That thief has a sharp eye.

"Oh dear! What should we do? What should we do?!" The restaurant owner was so anxious that he kept slapping his thigh, his face ashen.

"Brother Dong, this...this car was stolen in front of my shop, I...how can I possibly compensate you for it..."

Knowing Lin Yaodong's background, he felt that disaster was imminent.

Lin Yaodong glanced at the boss, waved his hand, and said calmly, "It's not your fault. It was my own negligence; I forgot to take the key out."

His calmness helped the panicked boss regain his composure, but the fear remained.

Before Lin Yaodong could speak, Bao Pi, who had once ridden in a Bentley and was still savoring the ultimate pleasure, jumped up.

"Damn it! Which bastard has the guts to steal Brother Dong's car?!"

That's an eight-million-dollar luxury car; he might only ride in it once in his life!

The lawyer, Lin Liangshui, remained relatively calm and suggested, "Brother Dong, should we call the police immediately? This is a dock; if we act quickly, the police might be able to set up roadblocks. If we're too late, the car might already be loaded onto a ship and taken out to sea."

Lin Yaodong's heart skipped a beat, but he did not express his opinion.

Da Tian Er immediately objected: "Call the police? Lawyer Lin, we're gangsters! If we call the cops, what will become of our reputation? It'll be too shameful!"

Chan Ho-nam, relatively calm, looked at Chicken, who was most familiar with all sorts of people and social circles, and asked, "Chicken, you're more knowledgeable about this. What do you think?"

Seeing that Chan Ho-nam and especially Lam Yiu-tung were all looking at him, Chicken felt his chance to shine had come. He puffed out his chest and said in a tone of seasoned experience:

"Da Tian Er is right. Going to the cops is useless and embarrassing. If a car is missing, especially in Sai Kung, the first person you should look for is 'Da Sha'! He's a local bigwig in Sai Kung, specializing in smuggled used cars. Nine times out of ten, it was one of his clueless henchmen who did it!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yaodong remained noncommittal, glancing at the silent Xiao Fu, and simply said three words: "Go and investigate."

Xiao Fu nodded: "Yes, Brother Dong."

After saying that, he turned and disappeared into the night, and began to use his own channels and methods.

Lin Liangshui looked at Lin Yaodong: "Brother Dong, do you need me to do anything through legal channels? Like contacting customs to keep an eye out?"

Lin Yaodong slowly shook his head: "No rush. I'd really like to see who's so capable as to dare steal my car."

They didn't return to Causeway Bay, but stayed overnight at a hotel in Sai Kung.

...

Saigon Pier.

Night fades and dawn breaks.

The sea breeze carries a salty, damp scent.

For Hong Kong, a city that never sleeps, 7 a.m. is still a time when most areas are not fully awake, but for some places at the pier, it is already past the busy morning.

Truckloads of fresh seafood are being transported to the market.

Xiao Fu's efficiency in handling affairs is still as high as ever.

Not only have they accurately pinpointed Saigon Big Fool's daily activity locations, but they also know where Big Fool is right now.

It was exactly 7:00 AM.

Lin Yaodong was still dressed in a well-tailored black suit, with shiny leather shoes, and was meticulous in every detail.

He wore that familiar, slightly aloof, gentle smile, and his gold-rimmed glasses added to his scholarly air.

Standing behind him on either side, Gao Jin and Xiao Fu, both impeccably dressed in suits and with cold expressions, formed a stark contrast.

Chan Ho-nam arrived with Chicken, Tai Tin Yee, Bao Pi, and Chiao Pi.

After the setback of the Babi incident, a faint shadow of gloom lingered on the faces of the young men, but more than anything, there was a restless eagerness to get revenge.

As the eldest brother, Chan Ho-nam tried his best to remain calm, but his tightly pursed lips betrayed his inner turmoil.

Chicken remained as carefree as ever, but his eyes held a newfound seriousness. He knew this was an opportunity to help Lin Yaodong and regain his prestige in front of the Hung Hing brothers.

Lin Yaodong's private lawyer, the lawyer who was used to moving between the courtroom and the office, was obviously not suited for this kind of scene with gang-related characteristics, so he did not come.

Abu arrived in Sai Kung early in the morning from Causeway Bay, driving a nearly new Mazda sedan, which he used as Lin Yaodong's temporary vehicle.

As arranged beforehand, Abu and Jiang Xin would remain in the car, ready to provide support at any time.

Lin Yaodong remained as cautious as ever.
