Chapter 418 Beautiful Kun Wants to Do Good Deeds
Where is my sister-in-law?

Liang Kun stared in disbelief at everything before him—He Min was here, Le Huizhen was here, and most importantly, his mother was here too.

"When did you tell me this?"

Liang Kun was completely dumbfounded.

Lin Feng rolled his eyes.
“I already told Amin, how could you talk to your mother?”

"It was probably Amin who told her."

Handsome Kun said speechlessly:
"I was even thinking of going to her place myself to surprise her, but Ah Min is such a blabbermouth!"

Lin Feng shook his head:
"You're trying to hide something this important from me?"

"I don't know what you're thinking?"

Surrounded by He Min and Le Huizhen, my mother burst in with a bang:

"Ah Kun, Ah Feng, where's Shui Ling?"

Lin Feng immediately abandoned Liang Kun and fawned over him:

"Mom, slow down, your sister-in-law is inside."

The old woman frowned and said:
"Ah Kun, aren't you going to stay inside with your wife and leave her alone in there?"

Liang Kun felt extremely wronged.

"Mom, I just came out with Ah Feng to have a cigar."

He was clever for a moment after all.

"Isn't Shui Ling pregnant?"

“Smoking cigars is bad for her health, so Ah Feng and I went outside to smoke them.”

The old woman nodded in satisfaction:

“Smoking is bad for children’s health, you are doing the right thing.”

Liang Kun just breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister-in-law, you still have a long time to give birth, you should quit smoking!"

Liang Kun was dumbfounded.

"Give up alcohol too!"

Liang Kun was on the verge of tears.

He was unwilling to accept this; he wanted to struggle.

"Mom, why doesn't Afeng need to quit?"

Lin Feng's eyes widened. Good heavens, is this how a big shot behaves? You're not having an easy time yourself, so you make your younger brother suffer too?
I'll remember you.

I glared at him:
"Ah Feng's wife isn't pregnant, so why is he so busy quitting smoking?"

"He'll still have to quit when his wife gets pregnant."
Lin Feng was stunned, glaring fiercely at Liang Kun.

He Min and Le Huizhen looked at the two with sympathy, but could do nothing to help.

In this family, the mother has the highest status, and the two men know very well how to curry favor with her.

As soon as I heard the good news, I immediately reported it to my mother.

The old woman gave her two sons a disdainful look:
"You two shouldn't go in; just stay here."

After saying that, he led the two women straight into the house.

Handsome Kun looked up at the sky speechlessly and sighed:

"What kind of situation is this?"

Lin Feng gritted his teeth and said:
"You actually dragged me into this?"

Lung Kwan defended himself:
"You've always been favored. I brought you up in the hopes that you'd grant me an exemption."

"Who would have thought that even your most beloved youngest son would be failing."

Lin Feng angrily said:

"You're really stupid."

"The youngest son and the eldest grandson are the apple of the old man's eye."

"With a grandson now, why would I care about my youngest son?"

Liang Kun was stunned:

"what?"

Lin Feng said irritably:

"Haven't you seen how much my mother dotes on Ah Sheng?"

“He goes to Repulse Bay to stay every week.”

"Even the time for practicing martial arts with me has to be coordinated."

"You actually thought you could use my influence to make you give up smoking and drinking?"

"He was wise all his life but made a foolish mistake at one moment."

Handsome Kun sighed:

"What's the point of a man's life if he never smokes, never drinks, and never has a woman?"

Liang Kun is extremely lecherous, but of course, after marrying Shui Ling, he can only be devoted to her.

He didn't even bother with pretense anymore.

Firstly, Lin Feng kept nagging about the safety of public toilets, and Liang Kun was afraid of catching some troublesome disease.

Secondly, Shui Ling is truly capable of killing.

If she finds out that Liang Kun is cheating on her, Liang Kun will be fine, but that woman might be finished.

After a while, Liang Kun lost interest in it.

Shuiling is currently pregnant, which means she can't be near women for the next nine months, leaving her with only smoking and drinking as her only hobbies.

If he had to give up smoking and drinking, it would be really tough for him!

Lin Feng said speechlessly:
"Boss, you'll be free once the baby is born."

"It's only nine months, just bear with it and it will pass."

Handsome Kun sighed:

"Fine, I'll just stop smoking and drinking at home from now on, okay?"

It's impossible to get him to quit smoking and drinking; the biggest concession Liang Kun has made is that he doesn't have to do these things at home anymore.

Lin Feng shrugged:

"I guess I knew you wouldn't do what she said, I was just giving you a heads-up."

"You are a piece of her flesh and blood, how could she not understand you?"

Liang Kun felt increasingly powerless:
"Men are supposed to be the head of the household, so why do I feel like my status at home is getting lower and lower?"

Lin Feng asked in surprise:
"When did you gain any status at home?"

Liang Kun was speechless and choked with emotion.

That's actually damn true!
Ever since she adopted Lin Feng, he has become her mother's favorite.

Everything good to eat or use is crowding around Lin Feng.

Of course, Lin Feng's sweet talk and filial piety are also important reasons.

Later, when Lin Feng got married, Na Liangkun's status dropped even further.

He's constantly being told to get married, and the way he's looked at him with increasing disdain.

He finally got married and fulfilled his mother's wish, so he thought his status in the family should improve.

Little did he know that Shui Ling was above him.

Seeing that Shuiling is pregnant and considering her mother's attitude towards her, she can imagine that her status will be even lower after the child is born.

Liang Kun was extremely indignant:

"I'm clearly the eldest son, so why do I have such a low status in the family?"

Lin Feng shrugged:

"Many eldest children are like this."

"Haven't you heard? The eldest is simple-minded, the second is cunning, and the third is as shrewd as a devil..."

"There are only two kids in our family. You're the eldest and I'm the second. There's no clever third child among us. You should be happy about that."

Liang Kun spat out a harsh "Pui!"
So, I should thank God?

Lin Feng nodded solemnly:

"You should thank me."

"Putting everything else aside, the things we two brothers did in the past, the fact that we're still alive is truly a blessing from heaven."

Liang Kun fell silent for a moment, and after a long while, he said quietly:
"That's right!"

"In the past, I didn't care about anything, I just wanted to fight to the death with people."

"We both have taken a lot of lives, so we don't take it too seriously."

For a lowly thug to rise to the top, they have to fight.

Once you become a big shot, you won't need to do these things anymore.

It can be said that it is completely different from the world before.

Of course, this difference only exists within the ten major martial arts societies.

Even if you rise to a high position in a small gang, because the gang's foundation is different, the fights that should be fought by the leader will continue.

Not to mention Liang Kun, even Lin Feng has taken many lives on his hands.

If you want to get ahead but you're not born into wealth and don't have a powerful patron, you have no choice but to risk everything.

In comparison, Shanji, Luo Tianhong, and others were particularly lucky.

Lin Feng disagreed:

"This is the fate of those who walk the martial arts world."

"With a poor background, no education, and no desire to settle down and work diligently, what other options do they have but to risk their lives?"

"We are already incredibly lucky to be alive; we can't force it."

Handsome Kun shook his head:
"I'm not asking for anything, I'm just thinking about whether I should do some good deeds in secret."

Those who live a life-or-death struggle are always on the line between life and death; they never know when they might be gone, so they are most inclined to believe in fate.

Guan Yu worshipped more diligently than anyone else, visiting all sorts of masters he could find.

Those who venture out into the world of martial arts rely on the belief that "what is destined to be yours will be yours, and what is not, you cannot force."

Bloodshed on the blade, a life-or-death struggle, it's all about who has the toughest life.

Those with strong fate rise to power, while those with weak fate fall from grace.

That's it.

Lin Feng could understand Liang Kun's thoughts:
"You want to accumulate some good karma for your child?"

Lam Kwan nodded:
"I'll probably go to hell after I die."

"I didn't think much of it before. After all, what we did was no different from being in hell, was it?"

"Children are different."

"I'm not a good person, and Shui Ling isn't a good bird either."

"If I don't accumulate some good karma for my child, the child might be born carrying our debts."

"This is not okay."

"Ah Feng, you've been doing charity work all these years, do you have any good projects I can do as well?"

Lin Feng casually said:
Good deeds can be done anytime.

"If you want to do it, I welcome it."

"There's a big project going on now, which is to help children in my hometown's mountainous area get an education." "So that they can learn something."

Liang Kun said in astonishment:
"Hometown?"

Lin Feng nodded:
"Yes, my hometown!"

"My hometown has a large population and low prices, so the same amount of money can help more people."

"If even one percent of these sponsored children succeed, they will be our helpers in the future."

Liang Kun quickly said:
“Ah Feng, I wanted to do good deeds, but I didn’t expect them to repay us in any way.”

Lin Feng shook his head:
"Your idea is wrong."

Handsome Kun frowned and said:
"Doing good deeds should be done without expecting anything in return."

Lin Feng explained:
“That’s right.”

“I didn’t ask them for anything in return. Our group is a legitimate business, and our hometown will be our top priority in the future.”

"Have you ever thought about the sense of accomplishment you'd feel if the children we sponsor were to become successful and work for our company in the future?"

“We hired them, gave them good jobs, and they are living examples.”

"This has a much greater social influence."

Liang Kun thought about it for a long time, but he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

I thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, so I finally gave up trying.

Lin Feng's meaning is actually very simple: he wants to do good deeds in a comprehensive way.

There is nothing wrong with doing good deeds without expecting anything in return, but it is not a long-term solution.

The most sustainable way to do good deeds is to do them repeatedly.

Ultimately, doing good deeds requires a huge amount of money; simply relying on acts of kindness is not enough for long-term success.

With the vast resources of our hometown, as long as there is even a one percent chance that the children sponsored by the company will succeed, and as long as even a one percent of those successful children join the company, we can continuously create wealth, which will allow us to continue to invest in charitable causes and ensure the longevity of our business.

This is fundamentally different from what Leung Kwan understands as doing good deeds.

In my hometown, people believe that doing good deeds should be done without expecting anything in return; otherwise, what kind of good deed is it?
In Lin Feng's understanding, the greatest good deed is being able to change a person's original fate.

The greatest good is one that can bring lasting change to the lives of certain people.

If a person has never seen the light, then there is no such thing as darkness.

If you let him see the light and have hope, but then cruelly extinguish that hope... that's not a good deed, that's a sin.

Liang Kun shrugs:

"I don't understand what you mean, but you know more than I do, so listening to you is the right thing to do."

"I'm planning to donate some of my savings to charity. Can you help me pick a good project?"

Lin Feng smiled:
"Today is a good day, and the boss's words reminded me."

"It's time to do some good deeds for our children."

"I'll contribute 10% of the profits from this project."

"I will dedicate myself to charity and support the children in my hometown's mountainous area."

Liang Kun said in astonishment:
"Is 10% a bit too little?"

Lin Feng looked at him speechlessly:
"Boss, do you know how huge the funding for this project is?"

"That's more than one-tenth."

Handsome Kun frowned and said:
"Only tens of millions..."

Lin Feng clapped his hands and said:
"Good heavens, the guy who borrowed money from me to buy a house not long ago doesn't even care about tens of millions."

Handsome Kun said awkwardly:
"I'm a new father, so I'm a little excited."

Lin Feng rolled his eyes:
"Don't worry, I'm not that petty."

"We're not in the same boat anymore, so why would we donate such a small amount to charity?"

Liang Kun said in astonishment:
"How much exactly is 10%?"

Lin Feng said casually:
"It's more than your previous net worth."

Young Kun gasped.
"Are you joking?"

With Lin Feng's help, Liang Kun's net worth increased like water being injected.

When Liang Kun married Shui Ling, he really married a rich woman; Shui Ling's net worth was more than ten times that of him.

However, after Lin Feng completed one project, Liang Kun directly overtook Shui Ling.

That time, his net worth reached over two billion.

The profit from this project, even 10%, is higher than his net worth?
How can it be?

Lin Feng explained:
"Chen Taotao has been quite busy in the stock market these past few days."

"Taking advantage of HSBC's decline, they really seized a lot of real profits."

"Let me put it this way, just the day before yesterday, our capital expanded thirtyfold!"

Liang Kun's mouth dropped open:
"so much?"

Lin Feng smiled and said:

"According to my estimates, our total capital will increase by the time this project is completed."

Handsome Kun frowned and said:
"Ah Feng, why don't you just quit while you're ahead?"

Lin Feng said speechlessly:
"This is nothing."

"HSBC hasn't even started to fight back yet!"

Liang Kun was taken aback:
"You still want to go head-to-head with HSBC?"

Lin Feng sneered:
“We’ve already gone head-to-head with HSBC.”

“From the very beginning, by creating this wave of bank runs, we have already put ourselves on the opposite side of HSBC.”

Do you think HSBC doesn't know we're behind them?

"After Shen Daban disappeared, HSBC quickly stabilized the situation and elected a new acting CEO named Brown, who has already called me."

Liang Kun frowned and pondered for a long time.

"Can't I get a refund?"

Lin Feng nodded:
"Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back. We either cripple them or wait for them to recover and slowly devour us."

"There are only these two paths, there is no other choice."

Liang Kun gritted his teeth and said:
"We're brothers for life; if you risk your life, I'll be with you!"

"It's just HSBC, right? Let's do it!"

Lin Feng laughed heartily:

"I knew it, the big boss is always behind me."

Liang Kun remained calm.

"At worst, we can just go back to being outlaws."

Lin Feng shook his head:
"Now that I've embarked on this path, I don't want to be involved in the underworld anymore."

“Our identities will change once this war is over.”

"In any case, it has nothing to do with traditional江湖人 (jianghu people) anymore."

Liang Kun looked at him suspiciously:
"That's HSBC, are you really that confident?"

Lin Feng said seriously:
"Boss, when have you ever seen me fight a battle I wasn't confident of winning?"

Handsome Kun said irritably:

"You still have to talk! Haven't you done enough reckless things already?"

"Don't forget how you got the scar on your chest?"

"Damn it, I thought you weren't going to make it, and I was already preparing for your funeral."

"Thank goodness you're lucky you survived!"

Lin Feng was utterly speechless:

"I'm talking about after seventeen!"

Why do you keep bringing up things from the past?

Who hasn't been young at some point?

Handsome Kun laughed and said:
"You're clearly a twenty-year-old, why do you talk like an old man?"

"In my eyes, even if you reach my age, you will still be young!"

"What, you're not convinced?"

Lin Feng raised his hands in surrender.

"Fine, I can't argue with you!"

"No wonder the old man said, 'Don't die with an old man, he'll only expose his shortcomings.'"

Liang Kun patted Lin Feng's head.
"Don't say such discouraging things. We still have a long time to get along."

Lin Feng smiled:

"You can rest assured that I can handle things. After this war is over, I guarantee that every one of our children will become a second-generation rich kid."

Handsome Kun laughed:

"Your wish will definitely come true."

He looked up at the sky.
"Who would have thought that the little baby I picked up on the street would grow up to be this big?"

Lin Feng shrugged and took out his cigar box.

"Would you like one?"

Handsome Kun shook his head:
"No!"

"I'm not smoking here, I'm not smoking."

"It's okay if you smoke, I'll take good care of you."

"But I'm going to smoke... I'm the chairman of Hung Hing Group, after all. Do you expect me to be chased around by my mother to smoke for me, a grown man?"

Lin Feng laughed heartily.

"Brother Kun, Ah Feng, what's making you so happy?"

The two brothers looked in the direction of the sound and saw Jiang Tianyang slowly getting out of the car.

Handsome Kun asked with a smile:
"How is Jiang Sheng?"

Jiang Tianyang did go to visit Jiang Tiansheng, his only brother, and he couldn't refuse.

"Hey"

Jiang Tianyang sighed deeply.

"I almost didn't get in the door."

Liang Kun and Lin Feng exchanged a glance, both looking surprised and uncertain.

"You're his own brother, how could he possibly refuse to see you?"

Jiang Tianyang's face was covered with shadows.

“My brother has completely changed. He never mentions Hung Hing to me, and he doesn’t even seem to care about my affairs.”

“He will definitely change his attitude as soon as I mention your affairs.”

“With my sister-in-law by my side, I’ve had my share of troubles.”

"I feel like he's a completely different person."

Jiang Tianyang sighed. He had originally wanted to share this with Jiang Tiansheng, but he never expected to encounter such a situation, which made him feel very disappointed.

Lin Feng smiled:
"Mr. Jiang, you've come at the perfect time. I have some good news for you."

My sister-in-law is pregnant.
