TVB evening news.

Deputy head of the O Unit at the Headquarters, Senior Superintendent Wong Bing-yiu, was on TV speaking into the microphone, belly sticking out, talking nonsense.

Originally the Narcotics Bureau had also protested a bit; this matter should have been interviewed by them.

He was directly chased off by Wong Bing-yiu shouting 'Get lost!' and, before the interview, hastily put on the senior superintendent's epaulettes.

Before going on TV, he was the Deputy Head of the Central O Unit, Chief Inspector.

After meticulous deployment, the police mobilized over five thousand officers and over a thousand police vehicles, successfully sweeping the drug labs in Tsuen Wan, Mong Kok, and other areas.

Moreover, the police were shameless; even counting the marine police, there were only over two thousand.

They arrested fifteen people involved in drug labs, killed one, over six hundred drug-related persons were implicated, and seized over one hundred kilograms of drugs.

Li Xin turned off the TV, lay in bed holding Line: Qiuti, and said, 'We have to start over; won't that be hard?'

Line: Qiuti placed her hand on Li Xin's chest, then slowly said, 'How could it be? I'm living a fulfilling life every day now.'

No one knows what these two are talking about!

Is it about starting a business or what? Just make it clear!

"Oh dear, annoying, don't…"

According to incomplete statistics, during this jianghu great storm, over thirty small and medium-sized societies disappeared on Gangdao.

Following that came the names of several people: Jiang Tian Sheng, Big D, Li Xin, Jingkun, Chuanbao, Shui Bo.

Among them, Chuanbao and Shui Bo became famous in the underworld; the two of them together took down over thirty small societies.

Shui Bo was invincibly brave, defeated Chuanbao, won Tsuen Wan for Prosperity, and Lian Sheng, to keep Chuanbao, ceded territory and paid compensation.

Big D brother endured humiliation and defected to Prosperity; Lian Sheng, to express apology, gave him the double-flower insignia.

Loyalty and filial piety both fulfilled—Big D brother.

They were almost about to place him next to Lord Guan Er-ye!

Some said Big D himself wanted to defect, but no one believed it; the honest fool who spoke the truth got beaten up, accused of insulting his own idol.

Cannot tolerate! …

Invincibly brave—Jingkun.

Well, the Crown Prince is not necessarily his equal in one punch; his arms have the strength of a thousand jin, and none of his subordinates can match him in a single move. He exclusively occupies two-thirds of Mong Kok, which amounts to about ten streets. (Don't argue, I tripled it; otherwise there would be too many people, I'm afraid they wouldn't have enough space, see the beginning.)

Some said that day Jingkun wasn't even in Mong Kok, that it was Sword King Hong carrying the flag and leading the team, but no one believed it. After that, many youngsters flocked to Jingkun.

Ambition and courage both fulfilled—Immortal Trust.

This is even more exaggerated: capable of governing the country with literature and pacifying the nation with martial prowess; single-handedly he subdued the eighteen major bosses of Tsuen Wan. After entering Big D brother's villa, he left three hours later.

Big D opened the left-over silk pouch, which contained eight brilliant strategies, and subsequently defected to Prosperity.

By his own power, he brought Tsuen Wan under his control.

Later, Victory Union's Elder You presented him with the Victory Union token, the Five Ancestors Secret Transmission White Paper Fan, causing him to be called the first double-fan white paper fan, and furthermore all major jianghu societies pushed him to be—Immortal Trust.

According to rumors, this jianghu great storm was his scheme, aimed at Tsuen Wan's Big D; he and Big D are true love, and Big D's wife is an accident…

Listening to a bit here and there, there are still contradictions, but they're minor; it's better to just make up the rest oneself!

The more you stray from the original score, the more outrageous each version becomes.

You say it's outrageous, isn't it outrageous?

However, the leaders of all societies, their envious eyes turned red; the heavyweight figures of Prosperity and the Chinese police, Wong Bing-yiu, made contact?

Nobody says Prosperity wears red shoes; those are lies told to the lowly short mules to keep them from being troublemakers.

If given this opportunity, they could sell all their society's assets; the returns are too rich—two-thirds of Mong Kok, over a thousand eateries, several hundred bars and nightclubs—what a huge profit!

What are his underlings worth? A few coins? Gone—go recruit some at the Tsz Wan Shan armory.

Jiang Tian Sheng has run into incredibly good luck!

After the jianghu great storm completely subsided, it was already seven days later.

This great storm might be talked about with relish in the jianghu, but to wealthy tycoons it's just a bunch of petty thugs fighting.

Well, that's not wrong either.

………

Today is the day Luo Tianhong receives his appointment; as his sponsor big brother, Li Xin will definitely be there.

Six Leaders came: the Crown Prince, and the Boxing King Tai, who is Li Xin's staunch brother, will definitely come.

Jingkun, as the biggest beneficiary, will definitely come; before the appointment he will also present a big red envelope.

Big D, considering himself Li Xin's brother, also wants to come join the fun.

The remaining Chen Yao and Big Brother B came as followers of the leader.

Before the appointment, a joke arose: Luo Tianhong insisted on receiving the white paper fan for his appointment; if not given the fan, he would have Li Xin, the sponsor big brother, wash his feet and act as his bodyguard.

Now it's difficult; nobody dares to let Luo Tianhong accompany the binding of the white paper fan, although they are of the same rank, this red pole would become a joke.

No choice; Li Xin still pulled the Crown Prince's close guard, Piaohu, out to appoint the red pole.

Before the appointment, Jingkun presented a super big red envelope—a check for 6,666,000—to thank Luo Tianhong for helping him take Mong Kok.

This is pure money! Absolutely a great gift.

Leader Jiang Tian Sheng respectively gave Piaohu, Luo Tianhong, and Huashe the items representing their status: red pole, white paper fan, and straw shoes.

Such treatment is generous enough; last time it was the Crown Prince and those three.

From now on, Luo Tianhong and the three can tell others that they are half-disciples of their leader.

Later, there is a legend in the jianghu: whoever can receive the white paper fan appointment at the Xi Gong hall must be able to beat the double-flower red pole; if you can't beat the double-flower red pole, then don't seek the white paper fan appointment.

This is the prestige earned by two generations of white paper fans; all those fabricated achievements have been credited to Li Xin!

This person! Really, once in position, the short mules will spread rumors for you…

Luo Tianhong held a broken fan, proudly following behind Li Xin, and asked: 'Big Brother, this fan of mine can't compare to your Five Ancestors Secret Transmission White Paper Fan; when will we swap?'

He didn't mention it, and Li Xin was about to forget this junk, but he pretentiously pulled a fan from his pocket and tossed it to Luo Tianhong. Then he said, "Here, take good care of it—this fan can command all the fans in the world."

It contains: he (not a name), Li Xin (a name), Luo Tianhong (a name? It's a person's name, likely a character). Not in the glossary but we need to add it to the names list. Also 'fan' is an item, but it's a generic object, not a specific named artifact? It says 'this fan can command all fans under heaven' maybe it's a magical fan, but not a specific name. Should we include it as an item? According to the rule, we include items/artifacts that appear. If it's a named item? It's just 'fan' a generic fan. Probably not include because it's generic. However 'command all fans under heaven' maybe it's a special fan but not given a proper name. We'll not include unless it's a proper name. So we include Luo Tianhong as a character name.

What's that?

Still that broken fan!

Seeing that the two weren't going to run off, Jingkun was so jealous he started drooling.

It contains: Jingkun (a name). Also 'the two' is generic. So include Jingkun.

I'm so hungry!

Luo Tianhong is really thick-headed; giving houses, money, beautiful women—none of it helps.

It contains: Luo Tianhong again.

Just asking: can you fight?

If you can fight, what do you want me to do?

Jingkun was almost driven to anger.

Everyone dispersed, each busy with their own affairs, only Jingkun clung to Li Xin shamelessly: "Brother Xin, you've emptied out my film and television company—did I ever say no? Can you help me out?"

"Cannot."

Li Xin refused Jingkun's unreasonable request.

"No room for negotiation?"

"No."

"Don't refuse so bluntly—can we negotiate?"

"No."

Cannot, none, not okay—three flat refusals finally pissed off Jingkun.

Jingkun rolled his eyes, took a deep breath—wow, he was furious!

Finally erupting, he clung to Li Xin's leg and wouldn't let go, pleading: "Brother Xin, you can't be this heartless—have you forgotten how you affectionately called me Brother Kun? You've forgotten all of this? One shouldn't behave like this!"

Li Xin grabbed the back of his neck, lifted him up, and said: "Is this the first time you've met me?"
