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

On the road from Causeway Bay to Tsim Sha Tsui, a black Bentley slowly drove through the traffic at dusk.

The neon lights outside the car window gradually lit up, adorning the bustling city with dazzling lights in the night.

Lin Yaodong leaned back in the leather seat of the Bentley, looking out the window through his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes calm as still water.

Tonight is the launch party for the "Oriental Pearl" real estate project, and the venue is the Peninsula Hotel. This choice had caused some discussion within the team, but he had his own plans.

Jiang Xin gripped the steering wheel intently; the former speed demon had transformed into a seasoned driver prioritizing safety, and his driving skills became increasingly steady.

In the passenger seat, Gao Jin remained expressionless as always, like a statue, with only the occasional movement of his eyes proving that he was alive.

On the other side of the back row, Xiao Fu sat quietly, holding a black notebook in his hand.

Lin Yaodong has been so busy these days that he barely has time to rest.

He needed to personally oversee everything.

Gao Jin and Xiao Fu could only take advantage of these fragmented moments while traveling to report on some "work" that they couldn't delegate to others.

"Why has the Ni family been so quiet lately?"

"What about Ni Yongxiao..." Xiao Fu opened his notebook, his voice low. Even in the relatively private space of the car, he maintained a professional level of caution.

"For some reason, he suddenly stopped purging his four subordinate families. Many of the powder stalls in their territories have also closed down, and there are already shortages."

Lin Yaodong's eyebrows twitched slightly.

He had studied Ni Yongxiao. On the surface, he was gentle and refined, but in reality, he was ruthless and always finished what he started.

There must be a reason behind a sudden change in strategy.

Did Ni Yongxiao undergo gender reassignment surgery?

You want to learn from me and do good deeds...?

Lin Yaodong knew this was impossible, a self-deprecating smile playing on his lips, before asking, "Where's Han Chen?"

Xiao Fu turned the page: "Han Chen is also very honest and hasn't made any big moves lately. However, he's been meeting with Huang Zhicheng quite frequently, three times a week."

Lin Yaodong nodded, signaling him to continue.

"And..." Little Fu paused, his tone becoming more subtle, "Han Chen's wife also meets with Huang Zhicheng very frequently, and they deliberately avoid Han Chen."

Ok?

The car fell silent for a few seconds; everyone held their breath.

While driving, Jiang Xin subconsciously glanced at Xiao Fu through the rearview mirror, her eyes sparkling with gossip.

Even Gao Jin, who was usually cold and aloof in the passenger seat, turned his head slightly, and a hint of interest appeared on his usually expressionless face.

Even Lin Yaodong, whose eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses were always unfathomable, was startled.

Whenever the topic of relationships involves a third party, it always manages to temporarily set aside those tales of chivalry and intrigue, sparking a sense of worldly curiosity.

Lin Yaodong adjusted his posture slightly.

"Explain in detail."

Xiao Fu continued his report expressionlessly, as if he were reciting an ordinary business report: "They met a total of four times... one more time than Han Chen."

Every time Han Chen's wife went to the hotel to meet Huang Zhicheng, she would dress up carefully. I had someone follow her; she would first go to a beauty salon for a treatment, then change into a new outfit, and then take a taxi to the hotel.

The image involuntarily flashed through the minds of several people—Mrs. Han Chen, who was always gentle and proper in public, secretly dressing up to meet her lover behind her husband's back.

This contrast makes the whole story more intriguing.

"I checked the hotel booking records," Xiao Fu said calmly.

"Huang Zhicheng used to book rooms at the Good Fortune Hotel in Causeway Bay, but later they started booking at the Lichun Hotel in Kowloon. I roughly calculated that the time they changed hotels coincided with the time when Dong Ge (Tung Chee-hwa) was consolidating Causeway Bay... He was probably avoiding our notice..."

The group automatically skipped over the background information, which contained little information, and went straight to the important parts.

"I went to the room they booked myself to check afterwards..." Xiao Fu said this with a normal expression, as if sneaking into a hotel room to check used condoms was a routine task.

"Each time they use more than two, and the most recent time they used five... I suspect that Huang Zhicheng and Han Chen's wife have been having an affair for a long time, and it didn't just start recently."

Five...

Lin Yaodong silently calculated in his mind that Huang Zhicheng, with his prematurely aged poker face, was surprisingly close to his own record of seven times.

"Through some 'friends,' I found out that Huang Zhicheng, Han Chen, and Han Chen's wife are childhood friends who grew up together..."

"So that's how it is. No wonder Han Chen was so well-protected... It turns out his wife was behind it all..." Jiang Xin said with a sudden realization.

Wong Chi-shing is a senior inspector and head of the anti-triad unit of the police force.

Han Chen's success in Causeway Bay is not only due to his own ruthlessness, but also to the fact that he has powerful backers.

Lin Yaodong knew that although Huang Zhicheng did not openly help Han Chen, he turned a blind eye to some of Han Chen's actions because of Han Chen's wife.

Moreover, in order to disrupt the Ni family, Huang Zhicheng also used Han Chen's wife to kill Ni Kun.

This secret was known only to Huang Zhicheng, Han Chen's wife, and Liu Jianming, who was involved in the attack.

Now, Lin Yaodong, who has traveled through time, also knows this.

Gao Jin pondered for a moment and said, "I suspect Han Chen doesn't know about his wife's affair with Huang Zhicheng..."

Several people nodded in agreement.

This judgment is reasonable.

No man could tolerate this. If Han Chen knew, he would have fought Huang Zhicheng to the death long ago, and he wouldn't still be meeting with him so frequently.

Lin Yaodong snapped out of his thoughts.

Aside from indicating that Han Chen was cheated on, this information doesn't seem to directly explain why Ni Yongxiao suddenly stopped purging the four families.

However... the fact that Huang Zhicheng cheated on Han Chen is an interesting point to consider.

In the world of martial arts, sometimes the strongest alliances are destroyed by the most personal grudges.

Adultery has always been associated with death...

"Those condoms..."

Before Lin Yaodong could speak, Xiao Fu immediately chimed in, "I've collected and preserved them all, including the hotel's videotapes. They're all sealed in evidence bags, with the dates and locations marked on them."

Lin Yaodong nodded approvingly.

This Xiao Fu is indeed someone you can trust to get things done.

Lin Yaodong then asked, "What did Ah Ren say?"

"There's not much useful news coming from him; he's been busy filming lately."

"Continue the investigation, but focus on Ni Yongxiao... and his family."

Lin Yaodong emphasized the last few words.

Ni Yongxiao appears to be impeccable on the surface, but everyone has weaknesses, and his family may be the key to his success.

"Yes."

Lin Yaodong turned to the passenger seat: "Ah Jin, what about you over here?"

Gao Jin turned around and said succinctly, "Besides going to the company as usual, what's been unusual about Jiang Tiansheng is that he took Fang Ting to the hospital a few times, and also..."

"etc!"

Lin Yaodong raised his hand to interrupt, a thought flashing through his mind—could Fang Ting be pregnant?
