Chapter 58 An Unexpected Encounter with an Old Classmate

The next morning.

While Jiang Tiansheng was having breakfast, Chen Yao's report and Uncle Mei's phone call arrived one after the other.

What's going on?

Lin Bei has this kind of ability?

With just a few words, a second-rate gang member was persuaded to transfer his territory to another organization.

Thinking of this, a trace of worry appeared between his brows, his brows furrowing as if they were tied in a knot.

"Now, besides being wary of the Han brothers, we also need to keep a close eye on Lin Bei."

"This guy has been growing too fast lately, and he's wild and prickly."

"Since that old bastard with the ass-eyebrow wants to negotiate, then let Lin Bei take charge."

"While we're at it, let's see if Lin Bei harbors any rebellious intentions."

We acted immediately.

He picked up his mobile phone and dialed Lin Bei's number.

Lin Bei stayed up late last night. After taking in Xiao Bawang, he taught them how to manage Women's Street, which kept him busy until the early hours of the morning. He's catching up on sleep now.

The cell phone suddenly blared, abruptly pulling him out of his dream.

He woke up fuming, grabbed the phone, pressed the answer button, and launched into a tirade.

"Hey! This is Lin Bei. It's Sunday today, can't a person sleep in a little longer?"

"Pounce on Mother!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tiansheng's face turned green.

His hometown is in Lufeng, so he knew exactly what those words meant.

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

"Ah Bei, it's me, Jiang Tiansheng."

Lin Bei's brow twitched, and his mind immediately cleared up considerably.

"Oh, it's Mr. Jiang!"

"I'm so sorry, I spoke a little too loudly just now."

"As you know, I've been working a lot lately, staying up late, and talking in my sleep a lot..."

Jiang Tiansheng knew he was talking nonsense, so he interrupted him directly.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

"Did you take in Hongtai's Little Tyrant?"

Lin Bei answered with a smile.

"Mr. Jiang truly lives up to his reputation."

"Being well-informed is key."

"Last night..."

He recounted the events of the previous night in detail, with twists and turns that even Jiang Tiansheng found unbelievable.

Lin Bei, isn't he incredibly lucky?

Hongtai, the Number Gang, and Dongxing were locked in a fierce battle, but Lin Bei, the sixth brother, lurked in the shadows and reaped the benefits with ease.

The most wronged party is the Zhengxing gang, whose territory was taken away for no reason, and they are even labeled as "a sunset gang occupying a toilet without doing their business".

"Okay, I understand."

"You did a good job overall, but some details weren't handled neatly enough."

"Uncle Mei has arranged for Uncle Deng from Wo Luen Shing to set up a table at Hung Tai's place. You're coming with me tonight for a meal with guts, so we can have a good talk with them."

Lin Bei understood the gist of it immediately.

"No problem, Mr. Jiang, see you tonight."

"Um."

Lin Bei chuckled as he hung up the phone.

"Let's negotiate?"

"They're trying to squeeze every last drop of profit out of me, aren't they?"

He was wide awake, quickly dressed, grabbed his mobile phone, and went out.

I had originally scheduled to meet with lawyer Huang Zhan this afternoon, but now I have to change the time.

……

Central, Wong Tai Man Law Firm.

Huang Zhan poured Lin Bei a cup of coffee.

"Would you like some sugar?"

"Okay, a little bit."

Huang Dawen nodded and added three spoonfuls of sugar to Lin Bei's coffee.

Lin Bei's lips twitched.

"Don't you know that adding three spoonfuls of sugar is unlucky?"

Huang Dawen was taken aback.

"Where did you hear that saying come from?"

Lin Bei smiled and pointed to the ground.

"That's what the three ghosts of the Huang family said."

Huang Dawen rolled his eyes at him; he was a complete atheist.

The two were chatting casually when, about ten minutes later, a couple in their sixties and a heavily made-up young woman walked in.

Those were Chen Qi's parents and wife.

Lin Bei stood up and shook hands with them.

Then, just like discussing a normal business deal, both parties politely signed the letter of understanding.

Lin Bei handed over the briefcase full of cash.

"Please click."

The elderly couple shook their heads, saying they trusted Lin Bei, but the excitement in their eyes, which they couldn't hide, did not escape the notice of Huang Zhan and Lin Bei.

After Chen Qi's family left, Huang Dawen stood up, straightened his collar, and tightly grasped Lin Bei's hand.

Congratulations!

"Following the procedure, Ah Kun will be able to come out in a week."

Lin Bei nodded slightly; everything was going according to his plan.

"It's all thanks to your help, Attorney Wong. Otherwise, my cousin would have had to spend another two and a half years in the prison."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Lin Bei picked up his mobile phone and left the law firm.

He waited for the elevator in the corridor, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and lit one.

Just as I exhaled a puff of smoke, a female voice suddenly came from behind me.

"Lin Bei, is that you?"

Lin Bei was taken aback and slowly turned his head.

He saw a girl with delicate features, wearing a gray fitted suit, waving at him.

"Hmm? Beautiful lady, do we know each other?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes, but she quickly hid it away.

She stepped forward and punched Lin Bei.

"If you ever dare call me 'Lin Bei' again, believe me, I'll smash your head in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of lightning seemed to strike Lin Bei's mind.

So it was her?

Ou Yongen!

Lin Bei coughed lightly and chuckled awkwardly.

"What a coincidence, old classmate!"

Seeing that he was still the same as before, Ou Yongen couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

But then she remembered something, pointed her finger at Lin Bei's nose, and started cursing without any ladylike demeanor.

"Hmph, you bastard, you dropped out of school without saying a word back then."

"You really ruined my... uh, I mean, I couldn't concentrate on teaching for a while! You're utterly wicked!"

Lin Bei scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

This was the first time in all his years in the business that someone had pointed their finger at him and insulted him.

"Alright, alright, those things happened so many years ago."

"Back then, I had no choice but to do what I was told; otherwise, I might be a lawyer now."

When the profession of lawyer was mentioned, Ou Yongen's expression became noticeably more dejected.

Back then, they had agreed to go to the same university and study law together.

But this jerk actually stood her up.

"Hmph, how dare you say that?"

"Sigh, forget it, it's been so many years, I'm too lazy to bring up your old stories."

Lin Bei's eyes darted around, and he quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, you work in this area too?"

Ou Yongen nodded and pointed in the direction of another law firm.

"After graduation, I interned at this law firm with my mentor."

"And you?"

"What did you do after dropping out of school?"

"Well……"

Lin Bei was at a loss for words. He couldn't very well tell Ou Yongen that he had dropped out of school to join a club.

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do."

"My family was poor, so I had to start working early to support myself."

He was trying to brush it off when Ou Yongen interrupted.

"Why don't you go to night school?"

"With your qualifications, finding a decent job in the future won't be difficult."

"Hmm... how about I ask around for you? Maybe you could take a part-time job at our law firm?"

Lin Bei quickly waved his hand.

"No, no, I'm doing just fine now."
