Zhou Weiguo laughed and said, "Then let's not have a unified plan. Even if you say half, that's fine too. I don't really care. If it really doesn't work out, a quarter would be good too, that way it won't be conspicuous. Also, Uncle Bai, I'm quite busy on the mainland, so I definitely won't be staying in Hong Kong permanently. But I'll have to go home sooner or later, you understand what I mean by 'magnificent'?"

"Hiss? Ah Guo, are you representing the other side? You mean the mainland is preparing to make a move?"

Zhou Weiguo shook his head, his eyes fixed on the whitebait: "Uncle Bai, I don't speak for anyone, so please don't make guesses you shouldn't, otherwise what if something goes wrong?"

Bai Fanyu's expression changed. He finally understood that his future son-in-law was definitely sent from the mainland. The mainland? Just thinking about it was terrifying. He had heard that there were tens of millions of soldiers there. Wow, he couldn't afford to offend them, or he would be doomed.

Seeing Bai Fanyu's uncertain expression, Zhou Weiguo continued, "Uncle Bai, don't misunderstand. You just need to understand one thing: no matter what, this is Chinese territory. Sooner or later, we'll all go home. Our families only want peace and stability here. Do you understand what I mean?"

Whitebait frowned upon hearing this, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing Bai Fanyu's expression, Zhou Weiguo continued, "Uncle Bai, you don't need to overthink it. The mainland doesn't want this place to remain in chaos. If someone can handle things here well, even if it's just superficial peace, as long as it doesn't significantly impact the people, if that day truly comes, as long as they don't do anything morally reprehensible, clearing their name isn't impossible. Don't you agree?"

Bai Fanyu pondered for a moment, then stared intently at Zhou Weiguo and said, "Aguo, since you and my dear daughter have already made an agreement, can you tell your uncle what you're relying on? What you're saying makes me really unsure. To be honest, if you don't explain clearly, I definitely won't believe you."

Zhou Weiguo said with a half-smile, "Actually, I didn't have any ideas about this, but since you've agreed to my relationship with Yue'er, I should at least lend a hand. As for what we rely on, the most basic and simplest thing is weapons."

"Weapons? How many weapons?"

"As many as you want!"

"hiss!"

"Could that kind of person help me?"

"able!"

"Is there anything else?"

"Do you need combat personnel? The very best kind, I can send you a batch if you need them."

With each sentence Bai Fanyu heard, he became more shocked. When he heard that they could send him a group of top-notch combat personnel, he was completely stunned. The elusive abilities of those people could probably wipe out the entire Hong Kong. Given the way they appeared, he didn't believe any gang leader could escape their assassination attempt.

"Two last questions. What about the police? I'm not young anymore. I won't ask what you did back home, but have you thought about who will take over this whole operation?"

Zhou Weiguo picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip, and looked calmly at Bai Fanyu: "As for the police, we need to find a way to promote one of our own to a higher position, preferably the Chief Inspector."

"Hiss—" Bai Fanyu gasped, as if Zhou Weiguo had proposed some kind of fantastical story.

Zhou Weiguo remained calm and continued, "I won't take over this business; frankly, I don't even want it. By the time my child with Yue'er grows up, he'll probably be cleaned up. If he's willing then, he can take over the cleaned-up part. It's just that during this period, I'm afraid you'll have to bear with it for several more years."

He paused, then added, "If you feel overwhelmed along the way, you can pass it on to someone you trust. If there isn't a suitable candidate right now, I can arrange for someone to join this group helping you build your empire."

Bai Fanyu stroked the jade thumb ring in his hand, lost in thought.

Zhou Weiguo seemed to suddenly remember something and said seriously, "By the way, Uncle Bai, I have another request, which is the premise of our cooperation. Our people are absolutely not allowed to directly handle drugs. I can ignore prostitution and gambling, but drugs are absolutely forbidden. It's not that we can't operate in our venues, but our own people can't directly handle them. Even if we support some people to outsource, we'll only charge a venue fee. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain when we go back."

Bai Fanyu nodded, and when she looked at Zhou Weiguo again, the doubt she had shown at the beginning was gone, replaced by a look of anticipation as if she were looking at her son-in-law.

He pondered for a while, then said earnestly, "Ah Kwok, I completely agree with your idea regarding drugs. Right now, the entire supply and distribution of drugs in Kowloon, including 'guli' (a type of drug), is entirely under my control. Even many of the laborers are under my management, and the gang has entrusted the entire Walled City to me. If I weren't unwilling to get involved in drugs, no one else could get involved. So, here's what I think about this: I'm not opposed to doing it this way, but as an elder in the Chaozhou gang, it wouldn't look good for me to directly bully the younger generation. I plan to first talk to the gang and, as an elder in the gang, start my own company to try and take over the entire supply and distribution of drugs in Hong Kong, as well as 'guli,' and then carve out a small area as our base. What do you think?"

Just as Zhou Weiguo was about to speak, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the door.

The two exchanged a glance, stood up in unison, leaving Bai Yuechang, who was still in a daze, inside, and quickly walked towards the door.

As soon as the door opened, several of Zhou Weiguo's men blocked the entrance, forming a barrier. Outside, Bai Fanyu's underlings, seeing their boss come out, immediately surrounded him, chattering and complaining, some even rolling up their sleeves, looking ready to fight.

Whitebait's eyes widened, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Shut up... uh, shut up! This man is my son-in-law, and his men are all on our side!"

Upon hearing this, everyone froze on the spot, their faces filled with astonishment.

One of them looked suspicious and tentatively asked, "Boss, if you're being forced, just blink!"

Bai Fanyu stepped forward and slapped him across the face: "Speak Mandarin! From now on, whenever the son-in-law is around, speak Mandarin!"

The underling, now convinced that his boss was telling the truth, quickly said, "Boss, someone's looking for the son-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Weiguo's eyes lit up. Just as he was about to go out to check, he saw three people squeeze in from behind the crowd.

He ignored everyone's stares and led the three of them straight into the room.

Bai Fanyu gave a few instructions and hurriedly followed him inside, locking the door behind him.

Zhou Weiguo glanced at the white rice fish, then at Bai Yuechang who was standing to the side with a curious expression, and nodded slightly to the three of them.

Upon receiving the signal, the three quickly removed their disguises.

When Zhou Weiguo saw the face in front of him, he was stunned: Leng Feng, Bond (Pierce Brosnan version), Salt?
