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

Wang Bao frowned, his mind filled with doubt. He didn't know what Lin Bei was up to, so he could only wait and see what he had to say.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Bei's voice came through the mobile phone receiver clearly, his tone straightforward and forceful, showing no mercy to Wang Bao.

"Wang Bao, you fatso, are you looking for trouble?"

"Are you deliberately trying to cause trouble for Hung Hing?"

"If you want to seize territory and expand your influence, I have no objection; you can have that!"

"But there are rules in the underworld, and there are regulations in the martial world. If you want to seize territory, you should do it according to the rules. Sending a bunch of poisonous fellow Daoists to frame us and try to wipe us out is going too far!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Bao was so angry he laughed, his face turning ashen.

Even Liang Kun wouldn't dare speak to him in such a tone normally. How could a mere Lin Bei dare to be so presumptuous? He really couldn't understand where Lin Bei got his confidence from!

"Lin Bei, I can do whatever I want. It's my business, and it's none of your place to tell me what to do!"

"What are you trying to inflate my ego about? If you're so tough, come and fight me!"

"I'm telling you, it's past midnight in Mong Kok..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Bei on the phone forcefully interrupted him, giving him no chance to finish his sentence, delivering a clean and decisive American-style stop.

"Stop trying to act all high and mighty in front of me. Who gives you the right to yell at me?"

"I'll tell you a top-secret piece of information: Hong Tai's 'asshole' is openly launching an attack on your territory, but that's just a pretext. His real intention is to send his own son to secretly raid your New Territories warehouse!"

"You made a mistake from the very beginning tonight, initiating conflict and arguments with me, Hong Qi, only to have outsiders reap the benefits in the end. You are the one who suffers the most!"

"Hmph, I won't beat around the bush with you. Right now, immediately, produce one million in cash as compensation for Hung Hing. Not a penny less!"

"Otherwise, you can forget about leaving this bar tonight, and forget about going back to save your business or your warehouse!"

"When the warehouse is raided and the territory is seized, I bet your losses will far exceed ten million!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Bao's face turned green with rage, veins bulged on his forehead, his fists clenched tightly until his knuckles turned white, and he spoke through gritted teeth, his voice filled with fury after being threatened.

"You dare threaten me? Lin Bei, you have some nerve!"

"At worst, we'll all go down in flames, and nobody's going to get away with it!"

"Hahaha!"

Lin Bei, on the other end of the phone, seemed to have heard something extremely funny and immediately burst into mocking laughter.

"A fight to the death? You dare say that?"

"Let me be clear: the fish will die, but the net will not break!"

"I've already positioned over twenty elite gunmen outside the bar, guarding it layer by layer. Even if you manage to escape the private room, you, Wang Bao, will never escape this bar!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Bao's expression finally changed completely. He could no longer maintain his previous arrogance, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

"Are you crazy? You're absolutely insane!"

"If a large-scale gunfight breaks out in the bar and the police are alerted, neither of us will escape unscathed; we'll all be finished!"

"You damn fat bastard, you still dare to talk back to me even now?"

"Think carefully, who was the one who first pushed their luck, provoking and framing Hung Hing?"

"I'll take some compensation from you and let this matter drop, giving you a chance to salvage your situation. Who really benefits?"

"Don't you understand?"

"I'm telling you, you only have thirty seconds to consider. The countdown starts now!"

"The moment the time comes, my men will storm in and shoot you, you fat pig, to death without mercy!"

As soon as Lin Bei finished speaking those harsh words, Wang Bao and the others, including Huang Mao Aji, broke out in a cold sweat. Their backs were instantly soaked with sweat, and they could no longer hide their panic.

They were too confident tonight, certain that Liang Kun wouldn't dare to make a move easily. They only brought about ten trusted men with them. Although each of them carried a gun and was capable of fighting, they couldn't withstand the superior numbers of Liang Kun and Lin Bei. If a fight broke out, they would have no chance of winning and would only become sitting ducks.

Huang Mao Aji's face turned pale. He took a step forward cautiously, lowered his voice, and asked with a worried expression.

"Master Bao? What should we do now?"

Wang Bao slowly shook his head, signaling with his eyes not to act rashly and not to be impulsive.

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, forcibly suppressing the rage and panic in his heart, trying to adjust his mindset, knowing that a head-on confrontation at this moment would be the worst possible strategy.

"Fine, I agree to your request! I admit defeat!"

"One million in compensation, I'll have it delivered right away!"

"Smart move! This is the choice a smart person should make."

"Brother, I'll leave the rest to you to clean up!"

After Lin Bei finished speaking, he hung up the phone without hesitation and didn't say another word.

A smile instantly spread across Liang Kun's face as he slowly walked forward and picked up the mobile phone on the table.

"Wang Bao, hurry up and send someone to get the money. The sooner you act, the greater the risk of your warehouse and territory falling into enemy hands. Once that happens, the losses will be irreversible."

Wang Bao snorted coldly, his face full of resentment, but he could only pick up his mobile phone, dial the home phone, and instruct his wife, Ah Zhen, to immediately retrieve one million yuan in cash from the secret compartment in the study and deliver it to the bar on Portland Street.

When Wang Bao's wife, Azhen, received her husband's call, she didn't dare to delay. Ignoring the sleeping children at home, she rushed to the study on the second floor, found the safe as instructed by Wang Bao, and quickly entered the password to open it.

Just as the safe door opened, a dark figure silently walked in through the study door, his footsteps so light they made no sound.

Ah Zhen trembled with fright. She instinctively reached into the safe, grabbed a spare handgun, aimed it steadily at the shadowy figure, and shouted angrily.

"Come out here! Stop hiding!"

Lin Bei raised an eyebrow slightly, inwardly marveling at how cautious and vigilant drug lords were, even keeping a handgun in their safe for self-defense.

He slowly emerged from the shadows, deliberately mimicking Wang Bao's tone, and spoke in a steady voice.

"Honey, don't be nervous, put down the gun, it's me!"

Ah Zhen looked closely and realized that the person in front of her was clearly her husband, Wang Bao. She was immediately filled with doubt and asked in confusion.

"husband?"

"Why are you back at this hour?"

"Weren't you out running errands tonight?"

Fortunately, Lin Bei had made thorough preparations in advance. Before sneaking into Wang Bao's villa, he put on a bronze mask and perfectly disguised himself as Wang Bao. His figure, demeanor, and appearance were almost identical, making it difficult for ordinary people to distinguish him.
