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

Liang Kun looked even more sullen, drooping his head and sighing, "It's a good thing you brought your wife to see me. The problem is, can you please stop changing wives so frequently?"

Ye Tian spread his hands innocently, his tone self-righteous: "I didn't change them, I just married a few more new wives."

Liang Kun stretched out his hands and grabbed at the air, spitting out incoherently in anger: "You're going to drive me crazy! You do the math yourself, how much money did you take from me to buy gifts for your younger siblings? It must have been at least several hundred thousand, if not millions!"

Ye Tian curled his lip, his eyes full of disdain, and snorted: "If you're so capable, why don't you bring one home? I have plenty of money, you can take it all you want, I won't even blink."

This topic is impossible to discuss! Liang Kun was so angry he was practically fuming, but he couldn't do anything about Ye Tian.

Ye Tian let out a cold laugh, a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes: "Even if I don't marry a new wife, you'll still get scolded every time my wives come over. Unless you also marry a wife. But just marrying a wife isn't enough; you'll still get scolded if you don't have as many wives as I do. Unless…"

As if grasping at a straw, Liang Kun hurriedly asked, "Unless what?"

Ye Tian shrugged, his tone nonchalant: "Unless you can give birth to a big, healthy son before I do. My mother is very traditional. Before, she worried that neither of us would be able to find wives. Now she's worried that you won't be married and that I won't have children. To put it bluntly, she just wants a grandson. To be honest, we're about the same in her heart, but you're her own son. My wives keeping her company makes her happy, but wouldn't she be even happier if you could marry a wife?"

Liang Kun scoffed dismissively and rolled his eyes: "It's not that easy."

Ye Tian spoke calmly, his tone carrying a hint of serious advice: "Get rid of all those shady women around you, and find a decent girl to date. You're good-looking, rich, and powerful, so why are you afraid of not finding a good girl? I'm really worried that one day you'll catch some unclean disease because of those women around you."

Handsome Kun spat angrily, then sighed heavily, his face full of helplessness. It was incredibly humiliating for a big shot to be reprimanded like this by his underling. But what could he do? He was too incompetent to even get a wife, so he could only listen obediently, without even the courage to argue back—it was incredibly frustrating.

Young Kun wisely chose to change the subject and stop dwelling on getting married, saying, "The negotiations last night have yielded results. Hung Hing got a few things, and the other triads all wanted the territory on Hong Kong Island because it was too hot to handle, so it all ended up with us."

Ye Tian showed no surprise upon hearing this, calmly analyzing, "Hong Kong Island is the economic center of Hong Kong. It's full of government offices, corporate headquarters, and wealthy neighborhoods. What gang would be crazy enough to try and seize such territory? Even the Tung Sing triad occupies Victoria Peak; would they dare to break ground there?"

Liang Kun nodded in deep agreement: "Jiang Tiansheng thought about it and ultimately didn't dare to take that piece of fat meat, Kowloon Walled City. In the end, it was divided up by Sun Luen Shing and Tung Sing. Actually, Kowloon Walled City was a good opportunity."

Ye Tian stroked his chin, a thoughtful look in his eyes, and slowly began to speak: "It's not about those petty gains, but about the people there. Everyone knows that Kowloon Walled City is in chaos right now, but the more chaotic a place is, the more likely it is to produce promising talents. If we take a long-term view, Kowloon Walled City will be transformed sooner or later. Controlling it now is equivalent to controlling the opportunity to become rich overnight in the future." Ye Tian poured out his thoughts all at once.

Liang Kun frowned and listened attentively. He knew that this younger brother had studied for several years and his experience was vastly different from before, so what he said must be true. "The struggle for Kowloon Walled City was too fierce, and Jiang Tiansheng had no choice but to give up. However, we are not without territory in Kowloon Walled City. The Little Dog's branch is there."

Ye Tian shrugged and said indifferently, "You and I aren't the leaders of Hung Hing, so these kinds of things are for the leaders to worry about. Why should we worry so much?"

As if remembering something, Liang Kun suddenly spoke up: "I have something to tell you. After the negotiations ended yesterday, on the way back, Jiang Tiansheng told me that he would hand over Hung Hing to me."

Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle, a hint of mockery in his eyes: "Who was in the same car as you guys back then?"

Liang Kun grinned, a hint of smugness on his face: "Chen Yao."

Ye Tian chuckled and waved his hand dismissively, "Just pretend you didn't hear that. Who is Chen Yao? He's just Jiang Tiansheng's yes-man. The words he says aren't his own; they're all Jiang Tiansheng's."

Liang Kun shrugged and spread his hands, his tone relaxed: "I'm not a three-year-old, nor am I new to the ways of the world. Of course I know what's going on. But what I need is Jiang Tiansheng's statement. The Crown Prince and Han Bin both asked me privately if Jiang Tiansheng had some kind of leverage over me, otherwise why is he acting differently now..."

Ye Tian couldn't help but burst into laughter, laughing so hard he almost fell over. Liang Kun, who used to be so dashing and unrestrained, always maintained a certain arrogance even when befriending others in the gang. He had never been so close to Jiang Tiansheng before. Hung Hing had always been ruled by the twelve hall masters and the leader, with the hall masters wielding considerable power. This was why the hall masters didn't always obey the leader. Of course, this disobedience was relative. Jiang Tiansheng was, after all, the leader, and if he issued orders in the name of the gang's greater good, the hall masters would naturally obey, but they wouldn't blindly follow the leader's every move like other gangs. Liang Kun's recent closeness with Jiang Tiansheng, their seemingly unusual relationship, naturally aroused the suspicion of Prince and Han Bin.

"The fact that the two of them asked you this in person shows that they really care about you and consider you one of their own."

Liang Kun shrugged and sighed helplessly: "I know, but there are some things I just can't tell them."

Ye Tian shook his head, looked at Liang Kun seriously, and slowly said, "If you don't want something, just say it out loud."

Liang Kun paused, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes as he looked at Ye Tian: "You're going to tell me? Jiang Tiansheng doesn't think I'm plotting to usurp the throne, does he?"

Ye Tian shrugged, a hint of disdain in his eyes, and retorted, "Are you afraid of him?"

Handsome Kun's expression instantly turned excited, and he slammed his hand on the table, his tone bold: "With your support, what am I afraid of? When are we going to start a war?"

Ye Tian was taken aback by his words, his eyes widening as he looked at him, both amused and exasperated: "You really want to rebel against Jiang Tiansheng?"

Handsome Kun scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Looks like I misunderstood!"

Ye Tian looked at him with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, shaking his head: "What are you thinking? Yau Tsim Mong and Yau Tsim are one entity, and there are some things you don't need to hide from them. But you need to make it clear when you speak: if Chiang Tin-sang doesn't become the leader, you want to compete for this position. Make it clear to them that as long as it's not a member of the Chiang family sitting there, you will fight for it."

Liang Kun immediately felt bored and pouted, "Tch, I thought we were going to fight, but it turns out it's just this."

Ye Tian sighed and said earnestly, "What are we doing out here? It's to make money! What's the point of fighting and killing?"

Liang Kun glanced at him sideways, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Someone speaks so righteously and grandly, yet in just seven or eight days he crippled a gang, made them vomit blood, and even expelled another major organization... What a fine excuse for this 'fighting and killing is meaningless,' and what a fearsome figure!"

Ye Tian's face instantly darkened, and he glared at Liang Kun angrily, asking, "Who the hell gave me such a lame nickname?"

Seeing his exasperated look, Liang Kun couldn't help but laugh and patted him on the shoulder: "The nickname 'Ghost's Bane' is quite good, it's very fitting."

Ye Tian stopped dwelling on the nickname and changed the subject, asking, "How's the movie theater setup going?"

Liang Kun shrugged and waved his hand, his words tinged with helplessness: "Let's wait a while. We've been making too many moves these past few days, we've practically become the center of a storm in the underworld... Being too high-profile isn't a good thing."
