Hong Kong variety show: I wanted to be a lawyer, but I became a big shot.

The four major families thought he was still a naive young man and that they could use licenses and building materials to shut him down.

They didn't understand that Lin Bei didn't want to take their jobs away; he wanted to create a new opportunity for them.

Ding Quan's plan in Tuen Mun has taken its first step, with Tao Futian agreeing to help him contact the Deng and Liao families.

By uniting the major clans of the New Territories, the influence of the four major families in the Heung Yee Kuk will be diluted.

Who will be asking whom for help at that time is still uncertain.

As for the license plate, the one he has is small, but it's enough.

He will find a way to upgrade his qualifications once the Tuen Mun project is officially launched.

Having figured all this out, he picked up the phone and dialed Jimmy's number.

"Jimmy, get ready in the next couple of days. We're going to Korea with you."

"Korea? Mr. Lin, is that the tech company project you mentioned last time?"

"Yes. Their semiconductor and electronics industries started earlier than Hong Kong Island's. I'm going to see if there are any opportunities for cooperation."

"In addition, the Kinmen Group, where Ding Qing works, has some connections there and can help us make connections."

Jimmy was silent for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, then responded.

"Okay, I'll have someone prepare the documents now."

"Okay, then we'll leave the day after tomorrow."

After making arrangements for Jimmy, Lin Bei made two more phone calls.

The first one is for Liang Kun.

"Boss, I'm going to South Korea on a business trip the day after tomorrow. It could be as long as half a month or as short as a week."

"You and Brother D need to be careful with the business during this time, so that no one else can take advantage of it. Also, keep a close eye on the business in Tuen Mun for me, and don't let the four major families cause trouble."

Liang Kun readily agreed on the other end of the phone.

"Don't worry, you can go out and get busy. With me in charge on Hong Kong Island, other triads won't be able to cause any trouble."

"Also, Shui Ling's been unusually quiet lately, keep an eye on her. This woman won't stop for no reason."

"I know, I know, you're even more nagging than my mom."

The second call was to Big D.

"Brother D, I'll be away for a few days. Keep a close eye on the factories in the New Territories; this is a crucial time for the company to expand its business overseas!"

"Alright, Ah Bei, you can go on your business trip without worry. I'll keep things under control here in the New Territories; no one will dare to cause trouble."

Lin Bei hung up the phone and spent the next two days traveling and eating delicious food with his eight girlfriends, enjoying his rare vacation.

Early on the third day, Lin Bei, along with Jimmy and several bodyguards, departed from Kowloon Airport and flew to South Korea.

No sooner had he left than the news reached Shui Ling's ears.

......

Dongxing Main Hall.

Shui Ling sat in her office, flipping through a document in her hand.

Black Phoenix stood to the side and reported in a low voice.

"Marshal Dalu, Lin Bei took a plane to South Korea this morning, along with a guy named Jimmy. They're supposedly going there to find a local conglomerate to cooperate with."

"He spoke with both Leung Kwan and Big D on the phone before he left. I don't know the specifics of the conversation, but it was probably about arranging things for them."

Shui Ling closed the file, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Hmph, with Lin Bei gone, Liang Kun can't handle the situation by himself."

"Although Big D is an ally of him, there is still a layer of relationship between them."

"Now is the perfect time to see just how strong Hung Hing's foundation really is."

She stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the street outside.

"Help me get a date with Big D tonight."

"They said Tung Sing wanted to talk to him about the boundary demarcation in Yau Ma Tei. He would decide the location."

Black Phoenix hesitated for a moment.

"Marshal Da Lu, Big D and Lin Bei have a good relationship. Asking him out at this crucial moment... might be..."

"That's why I'm asking him out, precisely because we have a good relationship."

Shui Ling turned her head and looked at Hei Feng.

"When Lin Bei was alive, he was Lin Bei's brother."

"When Lin Bei is not around, he will inevitably have to consider the interests of Wo Shing first."

Hei Feng nodded, asked no more questions, and turned to go out and make the arrangements.

......

That evening, in a private room at a nightclub on the Wo Luen Shing property in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Big D arrived ten minutes earlier than the agreed time.

He swaggered in, accompanied by several bodyguards in black suits.

Although Shui Ling had arranged to discuss business, not to start a fight, he still had Lin Bei's security company send over a few strong bodyguards, just in case Shui Ling suddenly attacked and beat him up, which would be troublesome.

And Shui Ling arrived right on time.

Today she wore a dark red dress with a black trench coat over it, and her hair was loose, unlike her usual meticulously styled hair on formal occasions.

She looked less sharp and more feminine.

Yeah, she has the air of a tough, independent woman.

Big D stood up, smiling, and extended his hand in invitation:

"Shuiling's here? Come, have a seat!"

Shui Ling sat down opposite him, took the wine glass, and took a small sip.

"Brother D, I asked you out today because I wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk."

"Hmm? You mean..."

"Lin Bei isn't in Hong Kong Island, so there are some things I'd like to discuss with you in advance."

Shui Ling put down her wine glass and looked into Da D's eyes.

"You and I both know that the alliance between Hung Hing and Wo Luen Shing was previously facilitated by Lam Pak."

"He is indeed a capable person, able to bind the interests of both parties together flawlessly."

"But have you considered that his focus has shifted to the Hung Hing Group? He hasn't touched any triad affairs anymore; it's all being managed by Leung Kwan now..."

Big D didn't reply, but his eyes flickered.

Shui Ling continued:

"After he disassociated himself, what will sustain your alliance with Lennon?"

"Based on personal relationships?"

"Still relying on verbal promises?"

Big D put down his glass, his tone neither warm nor cold.

"Shui Ling, just say what you want to say. Why beat around the bush?"

"I, Big D, still prefer to be straightforward..."

"Well, what I'm trying to say is that there is no direct conflict of interest between Tung Sing and Wo Luen Shing."

"We at Tung Sing have never intended to touch your territory in the New Territories."

"As for Yau Ma Tei and Tsim Sha Tsui, we took over the former Sun Kee site, but I didn't touch an inch of your two and a half streets. You know that."

Big D remained silent for a few seconds, his brows furrowed.

"So what? What exactly do you want?"

Shui Ling smiled slightly and leaned forward.

"I want to draw a new line with Wo Luen Shing."

"Tung Sing doesn't touch the New Territories, so you shouldn't interfere in Yau Tsim Mong affairs either."

"As for Lin Bei, you can continue cooperating as you see fit; I won't stop you."

"But there's one thing I need you to help me figure out."

"What is it?"

"If one day Tung Sing and Hung Hing turn against each other, whose side would you be on?"

The music in the private room was very soft, so soft that you could hear the ice melting in the wine glass.

Big D looked at Shui Ling, tapped his fingers twice on the table, then picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Hmph, I'm not taking sides. Fight me however you want!"

Shui Ling raised an eyebrow at Da D's attitude, but she was completely unconvinced.

Just as she was about to speak, Big D's voice came again.

"Wo Luen Shing is not a vassal of Hung Hing, much less a pawn of Tung Sing."

"Even if you go to war with the police, it has nothing to do with me and Luen Shing."

"But I can tell you one thing: whoever touches my people, I will beat them up."

"Whether it's Hung Hing or Tung Sing!"
