Hong Kong film: As a boss, I use money to make decisions.

North Kowloon, near Shek Kip Mei Estate.

Around dinner time, Fat Deng, the "Emperor Emeritus" of Wo Luen Shing, would always take his Shar Pei dog for a stroll around the nearby soccer field.

No matter how busy Lin Huai Le was, he would always follow behind Fat Deng at this time, carefully serving him.

"Uncle Deng, if it doesn't work out, why don't you move to Jordan?"

I've already prepared a house for you. You're getting on in years, and living in a tenement building and climbing stairs every day is inconvenient!

Lin Huai-le ran out of a convenience store, handed a Coke with a straw to Fat Deng, and took the dog leash from Fat Deng's hand. They sat down together in the stands of the stadium.

Wow! That young man kicks the ball pretty well!

After taking a sip of his soda, Fat Deng praised a bicycle kick on the court, then turned to look at Lin Huai Le.

"Ah Le, I know you have a good heart."

But the older we get, the more nostalgic we become. I'm not used to living in apartments or mansions; I prefer the warmth and life of a typical housing estate!

To get the conversation flowing, Fat Deng put down his Coke bottle and spoke again in a deep voice.

"Chuanbao told me that the Kwun Tong authorities have agreed to join you in attacking Tak Shing Street?"

After waiting all afternoon, it was finally Deng Xiaoping's turn to ask this question.

Lin Huai Le couldn't wait to speak.

"Yes, but Ah Xiao... is still a bit too young and impetuous."

He insisted on being arrogant, saying that he would only unite with my Jordan branch to crush Tak Shing Street!

Uncle Deng, why don't you personally try to persuade him?

Fat Deng rolled his eyes at Lin Huai Le.

"What's wrong with being young and energetic? It's youthful energy that gives you the drive to succeed!"

Back when I wasn't in charge yet, I dared to single-handedly storm into Old Dong's place and seize control of the lottery stalls in the Walled City!

Lin Huai Le remained silent, waiting for Fat Deng to continue.

"Ah Lok, Wo Shing is not a place for one-man rule. If you want to compete with Big D, you have to give those old guys a reason to support you."

I think Lin Xiaoru's suggestion is good. Wang Bao is a bit fierce, but one credit can't be divided among nine branches.

"Only if your two families can gain entry into Tak Shing Street will the triad believe you can lead everyone into Tsim Sha Tsui. Then, when I step in to support you, it won't be a cause for criticism."

Lin Huaiyue's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Uncle Deng, Wang Bao is a tough nut to crack..."

"It's not hard to chew, so why would you wait until you go and play with him?"

Ah Lok, if you want to grow big, don't hesitate. You have to be willing to make sacrifices. You won't prosper by just staying on this street in Jordan!

Once you've made up your mind, go all in on the fight, even if it means losing everything. When you finally get your hands on the dragon head staff, you'll feel like every sacrifice was worth it.

Hearing Fat Deng's definitive judgment, Lin Huai Le couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

He underestimated this old guy who had been in charge of Wo Shing for decades.

Only then did he realize that simply serving him hand and foot was not enough to win over Fat Deng.

What Fat Tang really liked was his previous promise—to lead Wo Luen Shing into Tsim Sha Tsui, a market that hadn't been touched for decades.

Now, Deng Xiaoping is using this opportunity to test his courage, putting him in a difficult position where he has no way out.

……

At The Landmark in Central, Wang Bao was carrying large and small bags, accompanying his wife as they walked out of a fashion store.

Upon reaching the parking space, a henchman quickly stepped forward and opened the back door for Wang Bao and his wife.

"Sister-in-law, slow down!"

As the younger man opened the car door, he tried to help Wang Bao's wife, whose belly was slightly protruding, into the car, but Wang Bao pulled him away by the shoulder.

"No need, I'll do it!"

After handing the items to his henchman, Wang Bao looked at his wife and immediately put on a smiling face.

"Honey, be careful. The doctor said that in another month, you need to take good care of yourself during your pregnancy."

Don't wander around outside. Leave anything to me to handle!

Wang Bao's wife let him help her into the car, and then smiled.

"Honey, you're overthinking it. It's only been three months."

"You need to rest for three months anyway, just for the baby's sake!"

"Oh dear, you won't let me do anything now."

Actually, I don't think it's necessary at all. If you don't want me to go out, then I won't. I can stay home and help you with the accounts, that shouldn't be a problem."

"Okay, okay, we'll talk about it later!"

After closing the car door, just as I was about to get in from the other side, my younger brother suddenly brought me a phone call.

"Big brother, there's a phone call!"

Wang Bao glanced at the younger man, snatched the phone, and hung up.

"Didn't I tell you that I don't answer anyone's calls when I'm shopping with my wife?"

"This... Brother, Chen Guozhong and his gang of cops are causing trouble again."

"And those two bastards from Lei Yue Mun, they're afraid Wo Shing will come after him, so they asked if you could go out and lay low for a while."

"Why are you trying to avoid the limelight? Keep a close eye on them, and don't let them go anywhere!"

Wang Bao snorted coldly, and then spoke.

"Call back later and tell Mike and the others to make sure they keep a close eye on the warehouse."

Also, try to find some channels to get some stock. We absolutely cannot run out of stock; if we do, customers won't come, understand?!

"Okay! I understand!"

The young man nodded, then hesitated before speaking.

"Brother, I found out tonight that Wo Luen Shing seems to be gathering men to cause trouble for us on Tak Shing Street again..."

"So I'm telling you to keep a close eye on those two Hong Kong bastards. If things get really bad, just hand those two scoundrels over."

If they try to force me, I'm not afraid of them!

Wang Bao's expression turned cold as he spoke.

"Tell A-Jie not to go out and wander around during this time, and to be ready to do things at any time."

"A bunch of old fogies are making the decisions at Wo Luen Shing. The junior staff don't value their lives, but I don't believe they don't!"

After instructing his younger brother to do his work, Wang Bao immediately got into the car, put his arm around his wife's shoulder, and there was no longer any trace of fierceness in his eyes.

"Honey, how about you come with me to the Tin Hau Temple tomorrow to pray for incense?"

I want to make a wish for the baby, that he will have a smooth and safe birth.

"Okay! I'll go with you tomorrow if I'm free."

"Also, I plan to go to Thailand to get a longevity lock for the baby before I start my pregnancy."

I heard from others that the monks at the Reclining Buddha Temple are very efficacious; you can get a longevity and wealth lock for only three million!

Wang Bao smiled and stroked his wife's forehead.

"You shouldn't run around like that. It's just a longevity lock. If it really doesn't work, I'll go there myself."

"No, sincerity is key. If you want to go, let's go together!"

"Okay, okay, whatever you say."

Once I finish what I'm doing, I'll take you to Thailand before the end of the month!

……

Inside an apartment building near Jordan Road in North Tsim Sha Tsui.

Chen Guozhong personally cooked a chicken stew, and sat down around the table with his three subordinates. The four of them each opened a beer.

"Brother Hua, did you get anything out of tonight?"

After raising their beer glasses and clinking them together, Chen Guozhong took the initiative to start the conversation.

Lu Guanhua took a sip of beer and then shook his head.

"Wang Bao is getting more and more cunning. Tonight, I asked a few fellow Daoists to release snakes and go to his place to buy goods, but we were told that the goods were all collected outside the venue."

Now, no matter who enters, they all get their goods from outside first before coming in to make a purchase.

I raided eight of his establishments tonight, and got absolutely nothing!

"It's okay, we'll go check his IDs at his place after we finish our late-night snack!"

As he spoke, Chen Guozhong looked at Li Weile, the youngest of the group.

"Ah Lok, have you found the goods from Lei Yue Mun?"

"We found Brother Zhong; the goods are all piled up on my truck now."

As soon as Li Weile finished speaking, Guo Zichen, who was drinking soup, immediately tossed his half-long hair and spoke up before Chen Guozhong could ask.

"Brother Chung, I can take care of those two guys from Macau anytime."

But is it really reliable for you to team up with a gangster?

Lu Guanhua also sat up straight.

"Regardless of whether it's raw pork or not, a police officer selling noodles is breaking the law, and his crime is compounded!"

"Brother Chung, you finally made it to the rank of Senior Inspector. It's not worth handing over this kind of leverage to a gangster!"

A trace of sorrow flashed in Chen Guozhong's eyes. From beginning to end, he never told his three brothers that his days were numbered.

But at that moment he didn't know how to explain, so he had to change the subject.

"Stop talking, eat your fill, and get ready to start work later!"
