"1 billion?"
Li Zhan continued.
"Uncle, what's wrong...?"
Li Jun asked cautiously.
"Damn it, you slept with my daughter, aren't you going to take responsibility?"
Li Zhan was furious.
Upon hearing Li Zhan's words, Li Jieying covered her face with a cushion on the sofa in embarrassment, but her ears perked up.
"Uncle, I'll definitely take responsibility, but it's 1 million..."
"Even a thousand pieces of gold shouldn't be this expensive," Li Jun didn't dare say the second half of the sentence.
"A dowry of 1 million, you'll marry into our Li family. But it doesn't matter, I'm also surnamed Li anyway, so forget about marrying into the family. Consider the 1 million as my first gift to you."
Li Zhan took a deep breath.
"Hey Dad, stop teasing Ah Jun!"
Li Jieying was so embarrassed that she threw the pillow at Li Zhan.
"Uncle, there's no need to be so polite."
Li Jun chuckled awkwardly.
Upon hearing Li Jun's words, Li Zhan's expression turned slightly serious. He first said to Li Jieying, "Yingying, go back to your room first. There are some things I want to talk to Li Jun about alone."
"Okay... okay."
Li Jieying originally wanted to plead with her father to stay, but after seeing the resolute look in his eyes, she had no choice but to give in.
After Li Jieying left, Li Zhancai turned to Li Jun and said, "Jun, I won't lie to you, my men have been investigating you these past few days. Between you and Yingying, it was Yingying who took the initiative..."
At this point, Li Zhan's face turned red. His own cabbage had jumped out of the ground on its own. Who could he reason with? He felt guilty even if he wanted to cause trouble for Li Jun.
“I only have one daughter, Yingying. What she likes, I like too. I know your identity, and I know you're very powerful in the underworld now, but…”
At this point, Li Zhan paused slightly, organizing his thoughts before continuing, "Ah Jun, don't be angry with me for saying this. Being in the underworld is lowly. Even if you become the top dog in the underworld, so what? The police can summon you whenever they want, and the foreigners can deport you whenever they want..."
"Uncle, just say what you want to say."
Li Jun interrupted Li Zhandao.
"I know it wasn't easy for you to get to where you are now, but I still want to advise you to clean up your act. After that, I'll send you and Yingying abroad to study, get a few years of experience, and then come back to Hong Kong Island to inherit Cham International. At that time, you'll be a high-ranking member of Hong Kong Island. Not only will the police force not dare to mess with you, but even the Commissioner of Police will have to greet you with 'Mr. Li, good day!'"
Li Zhan looked at Li Jun and spoke slowly.
“Uncle, what you said is very good, but I don’t want to go down this path.”
Li Jun refused outright.
"Ah Jun, you..."
"Uncle, let me finish."
After hearing Li Jun's refusal, Li Zhan was about to speak, but he was interrupted by Li Jun as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Uncle, even if I give up everything to study abroad, when I come back, people will still dig up my past. What's black is black, and it can't be whitewashed."
"And I don't think I need to clear my name, Uncle. Ask yourself, is the so-called upper class of Hong Kong Island that you speak of really the upper class of Hong Kong Island?"
"In the entire Hong Kong Island, aren't foreigners able to promote whomever they want? Even someone like Mr. Lei, who has the backing of the North, is still suffocated by the pressure, isn't he?"
Li Jun paused slightly at this point, then slowly said, word by word, "Uncle, strength determines status. If I am strong enough, black will be white. Conversely, if I am weak, even if I am cleared of wrongdoing, I will still be black."
"It's a good thing for young people to have confidence. When I was young, I also wanted to step on the four major families, but..."
At this point, Li Zhan smiled and shook his head, "Ah Jun, I was young once too. I know I can't persuade you otherwise. Good luck!"
"Yingying, stop eavesdropping, come down, Dad's leaving."
Li Zhan looked up towards the second floor and said loudly.
"Dad, you're leaving already."
Li Jieying blushed slightly as Li Zhan saw through her act. She walked out of the room and spoke.
"I think you just want me to disappear right now. I'm leaving."
Li Zhan smiled and shook his head, then walked towards the villa's gate.
Just as Li Zhan walked to Li Jun's side, he whispered, "Jun, don't make Yingying sad. This is a father's request."
"Uncle, next time you go to a nightclub in Yau Tsim Mong, just mention my name and I'll give you a 50% discount."
Li Jun also spoke in a low voice.
"Isn't it free?"
Li Zhan looked at Li Jun with a surprised expression, completely baffled by Li Jun's question.
This finally made Li Jun understand why the old man in front of him was able to found Champa International.
"Hahaha, just kidding."
Li Zhan smiled and patted Li Jun on the shoulder before leaving the villa.

"Jun, my dad is just talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."
After Li Zhan left, Li Jieying went downstairs, sat down next to Li Jun, leaned on his shoulder, and said softly.
"He's doing this for your own good, but it also shows he doesn't have confidence in me."
Li Jun said with a smile.
"Jun, I believe you."
Li Jieying looked determined.
"Yingying, there's a business opportunity I'm interested in."
Looking at Li Jieying, Li Jun had a new idea.
……
On the other side, also in Victoria Peak, in the study on the second floor of the Lin family villa.
"Brother, let's call the police!"
Lin Zhengyue looked at his elder brother Lin Guangyue and spoke.
Half an hour ago, the kidnappers who abducted Lin Dayue called the Lin family and told them that if they wanted Lin Dayue to return home safely, they would have to pay a ransom of HK$20 billion.
Subsequently, under the kidnappers' instructions, Lin Guangyue sent people to find Lin Dayue's gold Rolls-Royce and the already deceased driver, Awang.
After confirming that Lin Dayue had been kidnapped, Lin Guangyue called his younger brother Lin Zhengyue home to discuss how to deal with the situation.
“Call the police? Ah Zheng, I haven’t dared to tell my mother about Da Yue’s kidnapping. When the police come, they will definitely alarm my mother. She is old now, and if something happens to her, it will be too late for us to regret it.”
Lin Guangyue directly rejected his younger brother's suggestion.
"Brother, then we can only raise money, and we also hope that the kidnappers will keep their word and really release Dayue. Don't forget Wang Baiwan."
Lin Zhengyue said slowly.
Wang Baiwan's kidnapping had a great impact on wealthy families like the Lin family. Many wealthy families were already considering upgrading their security. However, Lin Guangyue and Lin Zhengyue never expected that someone would target their own brother so quickly.
“Our Lin family can come up with HK$20 billion in cash, but it will affect our family business.”
Upon hearing Lin Zhengyue's words, Lin Guangyue's face also showed a troubled expression.
20 billion in cash and 200 billion in assets are not the same thing at all. Although the Lin family has more than 20 billion in assets, only about 30 billion is actually liquid. Even so, the company is considered to have relatively abundant cash flow.
"Brother, there's one more thing. It's impossible to withdraw 20 billion in cash without alerting the police. They'll still get involved eventually, so it's better to call the police sooner rather than later."
Lin Zhengyue still wanted to call the police.
‘Dong dong dong~’
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"what's up?"
Lin Guangyue frowned slightly and asked.
"Sir, there's a policeman outside who says he's Superintendent Cheung Man-yiu from the Serious Crimes Unit. He says he has something to discuss with you."
The voice of Uncle Fu, the Lin family's butler, came from outside the door.
Upon hearing Uncle Fu's words, Lin Guangyue and Lin Zhengyue's expressions changed slightly. After exchanging a glance, Lin Guangyue said, "Alright, Uncle Fu, have Officer Zhang wait for me in the courtyard and tell him I'll go see him right away."
"Okay, sir."
