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

Chen Haonan sat next to Lin Yaodong, looking at the now glorious Lin Yaodong, and thinking about his own humiliation from being punished by the family and the death of his brother, his feelings were extremely complicated, and his eyes dimmed.

Once upon a time, he was a rising star in the club, considered one of the most promising young people to rise to the top.

But now... he thought bitterly, if he hadn't been framed this time, perhaps it would be him, Chen Haonan, who would be running for the position of leader now?

"Mr. Jiang," Han Bin spoke again, his gaze sharp as he looked at Lin Yaodong, "Regarding Ba Bi's matter and Liang Kun's matter, Ah Dong certainly deserves a lot of credit, I admit that. But... I have a question."

He abruptly changed the subject, drawing out the last syllable to successfully capture everyone's attention: "According to the video just now, Ah Dong's henchman, Xiao Fu, clearly followed Chen Haonan and his men the whole time and filmed the entire process of Liang Kun framing him."

He clearly had the opportunity to stop it before it happened, or to help Chan Ho-nam when he was ambushed, but he didn't. Instead, he just watched it unfold, only producing the video at the very end...

This inevitably raises suspicions: was Ah Tung's motive to deliberately use Young Kun to attack Chan Ho-nam, then step in to clean up the mess and rise to power?

These words are extremely hurtful!

This puts Lin Yaodong in an awkward position of "using his brothers and stepping on their corpses to rise to power"!

Sure enough, after these words were spoken, many hall masters looked at Lin Yaodong with a scrutinizing and suspicious gaze.

Chen Haonan suddenly looked up at Lin Yaodong and Xiao Fu, his eyes filled with doubt and anger!

Yes, Xiao Fu was clearly there the whole time, so why didn't he help Chao Pi?

Why didn't they stop him when he was drugged? They're just using them as pawns!

Even Jiang Tiansheng raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Lin Yaodong, waiting for his explanation.

He wasn't concerned about Lin Yaodong's scheming in this matter.

When you're out in the world, what great things can a nice guy accomplish?

This is a critical moment that tests Lin Yaodong's wisdom and ability to respond.

Jiang Tiansheng wanted to see how Lin Yaodong would respond.

Faced with Han Bin's sharp questions and the suspicious gazes of the crowd, Lin Yaodong's face remained largely unfazed, as if he had expected it all along.

He didn't rush to defend himself, but turned to Xiao Fu beside him and calmly said, "Xiao Fu, you know best what happened. Tell everyone what really happened."

"Yes, Brother Dong." Xiao Fu stood up, bowed to the various hall masters, and then slowly explained in a clear voice:

"At the time, Brother Dong sent me to New Australia mainly to secretly investigate Liang Kun's conspiracy and collect evidence. My primary task was to ensure that I obtained solid evidence, otherwise I would not be able to bring down Liang Kun..."

As we can see from what he said later, it turns out that he didn't intentionally stand idly by.

During the "bloody battle" between Chan Ho-nam and Chicken's girlfriend, he rushed to save Chiao-pi.

Moreover, at the time, Xiao Fu did not know what Liang Kun planned to do by kidnapping Ke En. He only knew that Chen Haonan and the others had fallen into a trap, so he had to rush to their rescue.

"So that's how it is..."

"Hmm, that makes sense. The video footage also shows that it was a fixed, hidden camera; there was no shaking, which means it was placed on a table or cabinet."

"Ah Dong's men are brave, resourceful, and know the bigger picture!"

"It seems we misunderstood Ah Dong."

After listening, the hall masters and uncles all nodded, and their gazes toward Lin Yaodong turned to admiration and recognition.

This explanation not only cleared Lin Yaodong of suspicion of "using his brothers," but also highlighted that his subordinates acted with discretion and considered the overall situation.

These words were like heavenly music to Chen Haonan!

He jumped to his feet, rushed to Xiao Fu, grabbed his arm excitedly, and his voice trembled: "Xiao Fu! You... what did you say? Say it again! Chao Pi isn't dead?! He's still alive?!"

Xiao Fu nodded firmly: "Yes, Brother Nan."

Nest Skin was badly injured, but it was still breathing.

I took him to the hospital, and the doctors managed to save him. He's now at **Hospital in New Australia. Because the situation was complicated, Dong-ge instructed us to keep it confidential, so I didn't notify you immediately."

"Great! Great! Nestling is not dead! Nestling is not dead!" Chan Ho-nam cried with joy, unable to contain his excitement.

Although the matter of Chicken's girlfriend, Ke'en, was still a thorn in his side, the immense joy of learning that his close brother, Chao Pi, was still alive temporarily overshadowed everything else.

He felt it was worth it to exchange the mistake he made against Keen for Chaopi's life!

His resentment towards Lin Yaodong and Xiao Fu vanished instantly, replaced by deep gratitude.

Jiang Tiansheng watched this scene with satisfaction. Lin Yaodong was not only outstanding in ability and had capable subordinates, but he also handled things flawlessly, which made him very appreciative.

As for what the truth is, he doesn't really care.

He glanced at Han Bin, who was sitting silently, and then said loudly, "Alright, the matter is clear. A-Dong is wholeheartedly devoted to the gang and has considered everything thoroughly. Now, does anyone have any objections?"

Even Han Bin, who was the most difficult to deal with, had nothing to say, so naturally the others had no objections either.

Only the dinosaur, seeing that the aborigines had a rival, was still unwilling to accept it. With a quick twitch of his eyes, he found another excuse: "Mr. Chiang! Ah Dong is still... just a 'straw sandal' right now, isn't he?"

According to the gang's rules, a "straw sandal" (a low-ranking member) cannot be directly promoted to a hall master or leader! This is against the rules! The rules cannot be disregarded!

That is indeed a practical problem.

Hung Hing's promotion system is relatively strict. Usually, one needs to be a "red stick" before being eligible to run for the position of leader.

Jiang Tiansheng seemed to have anticipated this question. He smiled slightly and calmly said, "Ah Dong has made great contributions to the gang on numerous occasions. I, as the leader, hereby announce the promotion of Lin Yaodong to 'Red Pole'!"

"Immediately open the incense hall and hold the initiation ceremony!"

Once Jiang Tiansheng spoke, the matter was settled.

The dinosaur opened its mouth, finding no further reason to object.

Without delay, taking advantage of the presence of all the hall masters and uncles, Chen Yao immediately arranged for manpower to prepare for the incense ceremony.

Incense and candles burned brightly in front of the statue of Guan Yu.

As the host, Chen Yao solemnly recounted Lin Yaodong's achievements since joining Hung Hing: eliminating Ba Bi, reclaiming the Causeway Bay territory, exposing Liang Kun's conspiracy to protect the triad...

Each and every one of these incidents is enough to convince the public.

Then came the traditional Hung Hing Q&A and ceremony.

"Ten thousand troops passed by the Second Bridge, copper on the left and iron on the right, no difference..."

"The Zhu family builds the bridge, the Hong family crosses it; those who don't join the Hongmen are outsiders..."

"Love your brothers? Love gold?"

Lin Yaodong: "I love my brothers!"

Silently adding to myself: I also love gold...

"Love your brothers? Love gold?"

"Love your brothers!"

During the solemn ceremony, Chen Yao loudly announced: "With the ancestors of Hung Hing above and all uncles and brothers as witnesses! Today, Lin Yaodong is officially appointed as a 'Red Pole' of Hung Hing! May you uphold the gang rules, promote loyalty and righteousness, unite as brothers, and strengthen our Hung Hing!"

Congratulations, Dong Ge!

Congratulations, Adong!

A chorus of congratulations filled the hall.

From this moment forward, Lin Yaodong officially becomes a "red stick" of Hung Hing, and is qualified to run for the position of leader.

The other leaders' chieftains were all a bit lacking.

Therefore, the competition for the leadership of Mong Kok was between Lam Yiu-tung and Sang Fan.

Jiang Tiansheng made the final decision: "Mong Kok is an important territory, and we cannot make a hasty decision."

"Alright, Ah Dong and Sheng Fan, you two each find a way to contribute more to the triad within two months and gain more support from the gang leaders. Whoever does so will take over Mong Kok! Fair competition, how about it?"

This decision temporarily quelled the dispute, giving both sides a buffer and time.

Lin Yaodong was well aware of the importance of interpersonal relationships and social skills.

He immediately invited all the hall masters, uncles, and their trusted subordinates present to a banquet at the most luxurious restaurant on Hong Kong Island, under the pretext of celebrating his official appointment as a Red Pole.

At the grand feast, there was an abundance of delicacies from land and sea, fine wines and delicacies.

Lin Yaodong behaved politely and chatted amiably, toasting each table and giving face to all the bosses.

The banquet was held in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

More importantly, after the banquet, Lin Yaodong had his subordinates Xiao Fu and Gao Jin, along with a group of his underlings, present each of the hall masters, uncles, and even the important leaders they brought with them with a substantial "red envelope."

"This is just a small token of my appreciation. Thank you all for coming today to celebrate my inauguration. I hope you will continue to support me in the organization!" Lin Yaodong said very politely.

As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding, and he who takes another's money is bound to do his bidding."

A lavish banquet, coupled with substantial red envelopes, greatly improved the impression these underworld figures had of Lin Yaodong.

In comparison, the dinosaurs and the wild animals seem rather "petty".

After a hearty meal and drinks, everyone parted in high spirits, and it was already evening.

Sitting in the car on the way back, Lin Yaodong looked out the window at the dazzling Hong Kong night view, his eyes deep.

Today's Hung Hing gathering was truly spectacular and fraught with danger.

He not only helped Chiang Tin-sang consolidate his power and eliminate Leung Kwan, a major threat, but he also successfully became a Red Pole and qualified to compete for the leadership of Mong Kok. Furthermore, he established a good image of being brave, resourceful, righteous, and generous in front of a group of triad bosses.

The martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing; it's also about interpersonal relationships, the accumulation of resources and capital.

That's not enough... Lin Yaodong needs to feed the Hung Hing gang leaders and uncles; petty profits won't do.

Mong Kok is the new starting point for Lam Yiu-tung's rise to power; he must take it!

The road ahead is still long.

Lin Yaodong remembered his stock market prediction card.
