Hong Kong film: The cop backs down, the ladies beg me to check his license.

Situ Haonan remained silent for a long time, bowed to Uncle Ben, turned and retreated, his heart filled with helplessness.

He had no other choice but to do as his uncle said and pray that the three men wouldn't cause too much trouble.

On the other side, Xiang Yan sat in the car, trembling with anger, his hands clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

His anger stemmed not only from being humiliated to his face by a junior in the martial arts world, but also from deep-seated fear and unease.

Ye Tian's decision to spend 25 million to seek justice for Xi B has had a far more profound impact than most people imagine.

We're all involved in gangs, so we know each other's backgrounds. Don't laugh at a pig for being black; nobody's cleaner than anyone else.

Ye Tian dared to offer a reward of 25 million yuan simply to find clues about the murder of Xi B and avenge him.

So, could he also use 25 million, or even more, to buy someone's life? Like his own?

In this day and age, let alone 25 million, even 100,000 yuan would be enough for plenty of people to risk their lives for. They'd do anything for money.

Xiang Yan then realized how foolish he had been, practically courting death.

It seems that Causeway Bay is doomed; Sun Kee's properties and land in Causeway Bay will likely change hands soon.

This was not his intention at all!

He only wanted to take advantage of Ye Tian's promotion to make contact with him, establish a connection, and also test his background. Who would have thought that a single, old-fashioned remark would provoke Ye Tian so much that he immediately asked him to leave!

The car drove along the boardwalk by the sea, and the sea breeze blew in through the windows, carrying a salty and damp smell, but it did nothing to alleviate Xiang Yan's inner turmoil.

Upon arriving at a certain location, Xiang Yan asked the driver to stop the car, then opened the car door and strode towards the seaside.

There, someone was already standing there waiting for him, with their back to him, gazing at the distant sea.

"I originally wanted to pass on a message to Ye Tian to express our goodwill to Xinji, but this kid is disrespectful and extremely arrogant. He actually declared war on our Xinji directly."

"Ye Tian is too young and too impulsive. He doesn't consider the consequences of his actions at all. He said he would give us three days, and after three days, he would drive Xinji out of Causeway Bay without any room for negotiation."

Upon hearing this, the man slowly turned around, looking at Xiang Yan with a half-smile, his eyes full of mockery and disdain, as if he were looking at a clown.

Xiang Yan's heart tightened instantly, and an ominous premonition surged into his mind, making him feel uneasy all over.

The man said slowly:

"You probably don't know how popular Ye Tian is in his hometown, do you? His connections and influence are far greater than you can imagine."

Xiang Yan was shocked and thought to himself, "This is bad!" His face turned pale instantly.

"We have many ways to contact Ye Tian directly; we don't need to go through you at all."

"I only asked you to pass on his message this time to see if you could seize the opportunity, but you still messed it up."

Xiang Yan's heart sank to the bottom, feeling icy cold, and even breathing became difficult.

The man's voice was gentle and calm, but when it reached Xiang Yan's ears, it was more chilling than ice, making him feel cold all over.

"We all know Ye Tian's personality very well."

"He is loyal, righteous, and trustworthy, with an excellent reputation in the underworld. Many people are willing to cooperate with him and risk their lives for him."

"He came from humble beginnings and knew the hardships of those at the bottom of society. The word 'shrewd and tactful' is most fitting to describe him. He knew how to get along with people and how to win their hearts."

"If you respect him and show him sincerity, he will naturally give you the corresponding respect and reciprocation."

"If you try to suppress him, control him, or act like a senior figure, he will definitely not just take the beating without fighting back; he will make you pay a heavy price."

"If he didn't have so many excellent qualities that make him worthy of our attention, we wouldn't have asked you to pass on a message to him, or given you this opportunity."

Xiang Yan forced a smile and said dryly:

"Perhaps...it's just a misunderstanding? Maybe my tone was a bit harsh, causing him to misunderstand."

The man burst into laughter, his laughter filled with mockery:

"I've never heard of a misunderstanding that would make someone like Ye Tian so determined to wipe out your Sun Kee from Causeway Bay."

"Do you think he's the kind of person who's impulsive and doesn't distinguish right from wrong? He must have made this decision after careful consideration, so stop deceiving yourself."

The man suddenly turned around, staring directly at Xiang Yan, his tone becoming serious, carrying an undeniable air of authority:

"We chose your company, Sun Kee, and supported your development in the hope that you could maintain stability in Hong Kong and become a pawn or a buffer for us in Hong Kong."

"Although gangs are a menace, as long as they follow the rules and don't cause too much trouble, they can play a certain buffering role and stabilize the order at the grassroots level."

"The stability of Hong Kong is in our highest interest, and we will not tolerate any behavior that undermines stability."

"If you can do your job well, behave yourselves, and follow the rules, then Xinji will always belong to your Xiang family, and we will continue to support you."

"But if you have any improper thoughts, want to provoke our bottom line, or disrupt the stability of Hong Kong, we don't mind replacing you with someone else to head the news agency and supporting someone more obedient and sensible to take the position."

The cold sweat on Xiang Yan's forehead was unstoppable, streaming down his cheeks and soaking his clothes.

He dared not reach out to wipe it, fearing he might upset the other person, and quickly tried to find a way to remedy the situation:

"I'll go find Ye Tian right now, explain things to him clearly, sincerely apologize to him, and resolve this misunderstanding. It will absolutely not affect the stability of Hong Kong."

The man smiled and shook his head, his tone calm, yet carrying an undeniable force:

"No!"

"If you go there now, you'll only add fuel to the fire, make things worse, and make it impossible to control."

"As I said, there are many ways to contact Ye Tian, ​​so you don't need to worry about it. We will handle this matter ourselves."

The man glanced at Xiang Yan, his eyes carrying a hint of warning, then put on his sunglasses, turned around, and left with a single sentence:

"You'd better watch yourself. Think things through more in the future, and don't be so foolish again."

After saying that, he strode away, leaving Xiang Yan standing there blankly, the sea breeze brushing against his face, carrying a biting chill.

After a long while, he remembered to wipe the cold sweat from his face, but the sweat was like beads from a broken string, and no matter how much he wiped, it wouldn't stop. The fear and unease in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

After seeing Chen Taotao and Fang Ting off, Ye Tian didn't plan to stay in Causeway Bay any longer. He had Wang Jianguo drive him back to his villa on the Peak for a good rest.

After taking a nice hot shower, he changed into loose loungewear, took out a copy of "A General History of the World," and sat on the sofa to slowly flip through it. He was engrossed in reading when suddenly, Luo Tianhong rushed in, pale-faced and breathing rapidly.

"What's wrong? Why are you so flustered? Tell me slowly, don't rush."

Ye Tian put down the book in his hand, looked up, and saw Luo Tianhong's flustered appearance. He spoke calmly, trying to calm him down.

Luo Tianhong gasped for breath, her hands resting on her knees. After a long while, she spoke urgently:

"Boss, something terrible has happened! Chen Taotao and Fang Ting have been kidnapped by the Zhongqing Society!"
