Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 231 "231" Gun King

After completing a morning exercise, Fang Siwei was completely unable to move.

Lin Yao seemed to be in high spirits, and after returning to the company, he helped Fang Siwei get a leave of absence.

Although Yang Siwen had long known that Fang Siwei and Lin Yao had an unusual relationship.

But today's situation is what truly confirms the relationship.

Therefore, Yang Siwen's expression was quite ambiguous.

Lin Yao said to Yang Siwen in an annoyed tone, "Why are you staring at me like that? Get to the point!"

"Miss Le has invited you to dinner tonight, don't forget!" Yang Siwen said to Lin Yao with a smile.

Lin Yao paused for a moment, then said calmly, "I understand!"

"Tsk tsk, no wonder he's the boss, he can be so nonchalant about having two relationships at the same time!" Yang Siwen teased, then quickly ran out of Lin Yao's office.

Lin Yao didn't seem to care much; which of Hong Kong's tycoons didn't have a few "female confidantes"?

Having multiple concubines is not unusual. After a person passes away, they fight over the inheritance, their minds turning into dog brains, and it makes headlines in the media every day, but nothing much has happened.

Given this environment, Lin Yao is already considered quite innocent.

Putting aside these strange thoughts, I prepared to examine the problems with the media company.

Although they had acquired a portion of ATV's shares, and Lin Yao was still actively negotiating with the Australian consortium.

However, the price difference between the two parties is quite significant.

These Australians hold a significant number of shares in ATV and are waiting to sell them for a higher price.

There were two other companies vying for the same deal, which gave the other side the leverage to ask for exorbitant prices.

You can't rush things like this; you have to stay calm.

He and Lin Baixin may be fighting, but he certainly won't let the Australians get away with it.

Both sides have this level of understanding.

Even if it comes to a bloody battle, at least we should drive the Australians out of ATV first.

"Boss, are we still going to the showdown today?"

Lin Yao's secretary, or rather assistant, is a young man.

He doesn't have the habit of having a secretary do everything when there's work to be done, and having a secretary do everything when there's nothing to do.

Lin Yao has so many businesses now, he needs to find someone with strong abilities, otherwise he will miss a lot of things.

Lin Yao thought for a moment and said, "I'm not going. Have someone keep an eye on Lin Baixin's people and see if any of his men are secretly contacting people from the Australian conglomerate!"

The assistant said with a smile, "No need to keep an eye on it. Lin Baixin's people aren't even here. Those foreigners from the Australian consortium are eagerly waiting for you to arrive!"

"Hehe, then I won't go either!" Lin Yao said directly to Xiao Fu, "Get the car ready, I'm going to Jimmy's place!"

They drove directly to the gang's location in Yau Ma Tei, and Lin Yao's tiger-headed scooter was recognized from a great distance.

The valet opened the door for Lin Yao and respectfully greeted him, "Brother Yao!"

"Where's Jimmy?" Lin Yao said with a smile. "He's so clueless, why didn't he come out to greet me himself?"

The valet dared not accept that, so he took Xiao Fu's car keys and went to park the car for him.

Upon entering the bar, Lin Yao saw Jimmy doing the accounting.

I don't know what's wrong with this guy, he really likes to do accounting in places like this before the bar even opens.

Seeing Lin Yao arrive, Jimmy rolled his eyes and said, "Damn it, you still know to come back and visit. If you didn't, you'd think I was the boss of the Yau Ma Tei gang!"

"Sure!" Lin Yao said with a smile, "You know me, I have no interest in being a gangster! When I retire from the life of crime, you can be the boss!"

Given Lin Yao's current situation, it makes no difference whether he remains the head of the hall or not.

Even if it's the leading company in Wo Luen Shing, it's just so-so.

They're not even on the same level anymore.

However, Lam Yiu could be the behind-the-scenes boss of Wo Luen Shing, since he would find a backer after his business in Hong Kong grew big.

Jimmy said irritably, "I think you're just trying to work me to death!"

Jimmy is now involved in a lot of complicated things for Lin Yao, including construction companies, various nightclubs, entertainment companies, smuggling, and many more.

Anyway, I don't have any free time every day; I'm always helping Lin Yao with his affairs.

However, Jimmy is indeed very capable. If it were anyone else, they would have been in a panic by now.

Jimmy managed his territory very well, and his underlings, including the Blue Lanterns on the periphery, numbered close to ten thousand.

Keep in mind that the entire Wo Luen Shing company only has 60,000 employees.

Being able to feed all these underlings and keep them from causing trouble is already a remarkable achievement.

Lin Yao said with a laugh, "How about we take a break? You can help me handle the company matters!"

"Goodbye!" Jimmy was even more exasperated upon hearing this.

The things Lin Yao did were actually more dangerous than those in the gang.

At most, triads will send thugs to kill you, but in the business world and politics, one wrong move and you could be utterly annihilated.

So Jimmy said with a smile, "In the past, at most the gang would send knife-wielders to kill you, but now they'll probably have to send assassins to kill you, right?"

Lin Yao said disdainfully, "Heh, no one in this world has been born yet who can assassinate me!" Not to mention that Lin Yao himself has the divine skill of hitting the bullseye every time, he also has the heaven-defying ability to detect what happened before.

Almost no one can get close to Lin Yao without him noticing.

He wouldn't even fall into the enemy's trap.

Unless you use missiles to bombard the ground, taking him down would probably be about as difficult as taking down the President of the United States.

……

New Territories, shooting range.

IPSC (International Practical Shooting Federation) competition venue.

The fierce competition for the championship is currently underway.

In this day and age, the people who can afford to participate in this kind of shooting sport are either police officers or wealthy individuals.

However, people like Peng Yixing, who are so obsessed with this sport that they've gone bankrupt, are quite rare.

Moreover, this guy's strength is quite extraordinary; he can almost easily perform high-difficulty techniques such as double or triple strikes.

Therefore, this guy is a very special presence in the gun club.

There was no suspense in this competition; Peng Yixing won the championship once again.

He was already indifferent to such things. After taking off his earmuffs, he put the gun back in storage and went to the locker room to change.

Ordinary competitions no longer satisfy Peng Yixing's desires; he's even tired of shooting at paper targets.

He then became an assassin after being introduced to the profession by others.

Only by killing can he satisfy his twisted desires and, incidentally, have enough money to continue playing with his guns.

The middleman who was in charge of contacting him was a guy who owned a company in Central named Yang Zhengxiang.

This guy is ostensibly the owner of a logistics company, but in reality, he's a hitman broker.

Having discovered such a promising talent as Peng Yixing, Yang Zhengxiang naturally wouldn't let him go.

Just as he had predicted, Peng Yixing was cut out to be an assassin.

Simple, efficient, and leaves no room for suspicion, this has allowed Yang Zhengxiang to make a lot of money recently.

I also received a big order with a very substantial commission.

So they went to the shooting range immediately and found Peng Yixing.

"Big business opportunity!" Yang Zhengxiang placed the photo directly in front of Peng Yixing and said, "This guy is worth a million!"

Peng Yixing glanced at Lin Yao in the photo and said coldly to Yang Zhengxiang, "Do you really think I'm a fool? This guy is only worth a million?"

Yang Zhengxiang was somewhat embarrassed: "This is just a deposit; the other party will give us another three million after the deal is done!"

"No way!" Peng Yixing threw the photo aside and said, "I'm just crazy, but not stupid! I don't need to tell you who Lin Yao is, do I? He has plenty of guys around him willing to take bullets for him. If I make a mistake, I'll be the one who dies! Four million? I wouldn't even do that to a dog!"

Yang Zhengxiang gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go talk to the boss. What price do you think is appropriate?"

"At least ten million. If it's less than that, let him find someone else!" Peng Yixing said coldly, then got up and left the locker room.

Yang Zhengxiang, a cigar dangling from his lips, was having a headache. Peng Yixing was becoming increasingly difficult to fool lately.

However, Lin Yao is indeed a very risky person, and even asking for eight million is a bit too little.

This matter requires additional funding. Peng Yixing mentioned ten million, but Yang Zhengxiang felt that twenty million was a good figure.

……

"What? Twenty million?" In a private club, the behind-the-scenes boss was furious. "Why don't you just rob us?"

Yang Zhengxiang explained helplessly, "You know how difficult Lin Yao is to deal with. His bodyguards are all willing to take bullets for him. Ordinary gunmen wouldn't dare to take a job with a guy like that!"

"Besides, he's a well-known figure, and he has very close ties with the gang. Even if we manage to take him down, we'll be in a lot of trouble!"

The behind-the-scenes boss stroked his bald head and paced back and forth, saying, "Damn, twenty million!"

"Mr. Situ, you are the spokesperson for the four major bosses, surely you can afford to spend 20 million?" Yang Zhengxiang provoked Situ Guang again.

That's right, it was Situ Guang who hired someone to assassinate Lin Yao.

In fact, Situ Guang had already planned to kill him during the banquet that day.

Of course, it wasn't entirely because of his feud with Lin Yao.

It's mostly a matter of interests.

The demolition work in Kowloon Walled City had finally come to a halt, and this was the perfect opportunity for the four bosses to intervene.

If Lin Yao can be eliminated, Kowloon Walled City may still fall into the hands of the four bosses.

The relationship between the Citizens Party and the government may not necessarily end with the four major bosses.

Their power is even greater.

However, Lin Yao was at the forefront of this matter, and his attitude was quite firm.

Just like yesterday, Situ Guang wanted to negotiate properly, but Lin Yao didn't take him seriously at all.

This is what made Situ Guang decide to kill him.

After all, what does one person's life or death matter compared to a project worth tens or hundreds of billions?
