"Anyone with eyes could see that Lin Yaochang's gaze was fixed on Jiang Sheng from beginning to end. The two would whisper to each other from time to time, clearly indicating that they had something to discuss in terms of cooperation."

"But Xiang Yan is different. His attention was on me the whole time, and he couldn't hide the probing in his eyes."

"I don't need to explain the intricacies of this, do I?"

A hint of approval appeared on Jiang Tiansheng's face:

"Ah Tian's observation skills are indeed sharp; he saw the key point at a glance."

"Lin Yaochang wants to discuss cooperation with us and expand our business. Xiang Yan's visit is just a polite formality; he has ulterior motives."

"In that case, it's entirely possible that he was instructed by someone to test your abilities."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, and their eyes became more serious.

Han Bin reminded him solemnly:

"Xiang Yan is the head of Xinji, one of the top ten triads in the underworld, and has connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds. He holds a prestigious position and has extensive networks."

"For someone like him to be ordered to test him... what kind of background must the person behind him have? Their strength is probably not to be underestimated."

These words resonated with everyone.

Xiang Yan is no ordinary gangster.

As a second-generation member of the Sun Kee Society, he grew up in luxury and received a good education. He not only has a triad background but also works as a lawyer.

Although he is the leader of the Sun Kee, he is also a well-known senior barrister in Hong Kong. He has a thorough understanding of the Hong Kong government's rules and is good at using the rules to protect himself and his organization, which is something that other triad leaders cannot match.

That's why Xinji was able to thrive in both the underworld and legitimate society, and no one dared to mess with him easily.

It's rare to find someone who can control Xiang Yan's power.

Ye Tian looked completely unconcerned and said calmly:

"The only forces that can control Xiang Yan are the foreigners and his hometown."

"The foreigners don't need to send Xiang Yan to test me at all."

"We live right under their noses. The Special Branch of the Police Force, controlled by foreigners, has plenty of ways to investigate me. There's no need to go through such a roundabout way."

Therefore, there is only one answer.

The crowd's expressions grew even more grim, and their eyes filled with worry.

Chen Yao's voice trembled slightly:

"If it's foreigners testing you, at least there's room for maneuver. But if your hometown is unhappy with you, then you'll be in trouble."

This is something everyone is worried about.

Hong Kong has abolished the death penalty, and many crimes can be solved by serving the full sentence, so it's not considered a desperate situation.

But it's different back home.

Trafficking heroin, even at a rate of 50 grams, is enough to warrant the death penalty.

Whether it's manufacturing, selling, or transporting, once caught, it's basically a dead end, with no chance of escaping.

As for clubs?

Anyone who dares to show their face will be resolutely eliminated, and the core members who are in charge will most likely also be executed.

Thanks to years of propaganda by foreigners, what the gang members fear most is the iron fist of the dictatorship back home—a fear that runs deep in their bones.

"Tian, ​​that's our hometown. Even the foreigners treat it with caution and dare not provoke us easily."

"If your hometown really intends to kill you, you won't be safe anywhere you go; there's nowhere to hide."

Liang Kun also became worried, his tone full of anxiety:

"Tian, ​​will Xiang Yan embellish what you just said and relay it back to you?"

"If your hometown finds out, your reputation will be terrible, and they might misunderstand you."

Ye Tianshi rolled her eyes and said irritably:

"What are you all talking about?"

"It's one thing for others not to know, but why are you joining in the fun, big shot?"

"I am a legitimate businessman with substantial investments in my hometown, spanning multiple industries and creating numerous jobs."

"And I'm also a well-known philanthropist."

"In the field of education, I have donated a lot of money, built many schools, and sponsored many poor students."

"Believe it or not, if I go back to my hometown, I will definitely receive a warm welcome and be treated as a VIP."

Liang Kun slapped his thigh, suddenly realizing:

"That's right! How could I forget that! You donate a third of your annual income to charity, how could your hometown not welcome you?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, and the worry on their faces gradually faded.

Jiang Tiansheng's eyes widened in disbelief as he asked:

"Tian, ​​you really donated this much money to charity? That's no small amount."

Ye Tian said slowly and deliberately:

"Those who are involved in gangs all have to believe in fate to some extent, and they believe in cause and effect."

"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it."

"Doing good deeds is a way to accumulate good karma for yourself and ensure your safety and well-being."

Everyone immediately believed it.

Everyone present, whether they wanted to admit it or not, believed in fate.

They worship the green-robed Guan Yu more diligently than anyone else, never missing a festival.

There was nothing more to it than wanting Guan Yu to bless him with peace, wealth, and fewer misfortunes.

Wang Jianjun listened quietly to Ye Tian, ​​his eyes filled with even more admiration.

When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven. This has always been the ideal of these people.

It's truly a blessing to have found such a passionate and responsible boss.

Jiang Tiansheng suddenly spoke, his tone carrying a hint of conjecture:

"So, Xiang Yan's probing of you wasn't actually at someone else's behest, but rather stemmed from his own selfish motives?"

Ye Tian chuckled, his tone laced with a hint of slyness:

"One of my strengths is that I am self-aware and have a clear understanding of my own position."

"In Hong Kong, I was just an ordinary straw sandalman in Hung Hing. I only got to the position of leader because of Mr. Chiang's support. There's nothing to brag about."

Jiang Tiansheng smiled and waved his hands repeatedly:

"No, no, no, you're too modest."

"Your current position isn't due to my promotion; it's entirely due to your own abilities. Who in the martial arts world doesn't know Ye Tian's name? Who doesn't admire your courage?"

Han Bin and the Crown Prince, among others, burst into laughter and echoed his sentiments.

Although the details of the negotiations between Hung Hing and Tung Sing have not been circulated, the respect that everyone in Tung Sing had for Ye Tian was evident and beyond doubt.

This made many seasoned veterans wonder what earth-shattering thing Ye Tian had done to make Dongxing so wary and respectful.

Of course, Ye Tian's previous act of offering a reward of 25 million Hong Kong dollars also demonstrated his boldness and wealth to everyone, and no one dared to underestimate him.

Anyone who dares to ignore Ye Tian must be out of their mind.

"Back in my hometown, I was just an honest and upright boss who was willing to do good deeds."

"In running my business, I have never thought about evading taxes. I have always abided by the law and even occasionally help the local area of ​​my business to make small investments to improve the local infrastructure."

"No matter where I am, people may not pay much attention to me, but they will definitely welcome me, since I have never done anything to harm their interests."
