Lin Hao

The trusted aides departed on orders, and in the days that followed, the Triad Society appeared calm on the surface, but undercurrents surged beneath. Ding Yao's confidants, following her instructions, unobtrusively monitored every move of each suspicious person. The moment any stir was detected, they struck swiftly — either eliminating the target outright with thunderous means, or coercing and enticing them into submission.

While handling internal gang affairs, Ding Yao also began actively expanding the Triad Society's business territory on Ao Dao. She personally negotiated with local dignitaries and wealthy merchants, and relying on her beauty and wisdom, she cleverly secured several profitable deals. These not only brought the Triad Society substantial profits, but also further elevated her prestige within the gang.

And when facing the police's follow-up investigation, Ding Yao remained remarkably composed. She directed the gang's lawyers to fully cooperate with the police, providing every piece of information that seemed irrelevant but had actually been meticulously screened, deftly steering all suspicion onto Zhong Yong Bo alone, ensuring that she and the Triad Society were completely cleared of any connection to the murder case.

As time passed, Ding Yao's position in the Triad Society grew ever more secure.

After finishing breakfast, Jiang Tiansheng gave Chen Yao a meaningful look without showing it on his face.

Chen Yao understood instantly, rose at once, and strode out of the room. Before long, he returned leading Chen Hao Nan.

Lin Hao had been discussing other matters with Jiang Tiansheng; hearing footsteps, he subconsciously looked up.

The moment he saw Chen Hao Nan, his face instantly turned dark and cold, as if a layer of frost had settled over it.

Chen Hao Nan still had that strip of gauze wrapped around his head, faint traces of blood seeping through it, making him look utterly bedraggled.

His eyes carried a hint of guilt and unease; after shuffling in with dragging steps, he lowered his head, not daring to meet Lin Hao's icy gaze.

Jiang Tiansheng glanced at Lin Hao, then at Chen Hao Nan, gave a light cough, and broke the slightly awkward silence: "A Hao, although Haonan made a mistake before, he is still our Hung Hing brother. He knows he was wrong, and these past few days he has been reflecting. I thought, we're all family; let bygones be bygones. We still need to unite and face the outside situation together."

Lin Hao let out a cold snort, his gaze still fixed tightly on Chen Hao Nan, and said coldly: "Mr. Jiang, it's not that I won't give you face. But his actions this time nearly brought annihilation upon our Hung Hing. Da Ge B is still in prison, yet he only cared about saving his own life, abandoning his brothers. How can you expect me to easily forgive a man like that?"

Hearing this, Chen Hao Nan's body trembled slightly. He raised his head, looked at Lin Hao, his lips moved a few times as if wanting to say something, but in the end he only said in a low voice: "Hao Ge, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong..."

Jiang Tiansheng frowned slightly. He understood Lin Hao's anger at this moment, but he also didn't want to see an irreconcilable contradiction arise within Hung Hing because of this matter.

He pondered for a moment, then said: "A Hao, I know you're holding a grudge. How about this — we give Haonan a chance to redeem himself through merit. We still have many things to do on Ao Dao next, like further consolidating our territory and guarding against a possible counterattack from the Triad Society. If Haonan performs outstandingly in these matters, you can decide then whether to forgive him. Also, Da Ge B isn't getting out; I'm preparing to let you take over Copper Gong Bay — what do you think?"

Lin Hao fell silent for a while. Although he was still somewhat unwilling in his heart, Jiang Tiansheng had already spoken to this extent, and he could not continue to press hard.

After all, Hung Hing's unity was indeed crucial. He gave Chen Hao Nan a deep look, then said slowly: "Mr. Jiang, since you've put it this way, I'll give you this face. Chen Hao Nan, you'd better remember today's words; if you dare make any mistake again, I absolutely will not spare you lightly!"

Chen Hao Nan hurriedly nodded, a touch of determination appearing in his eyes: "Hao Ge, rest assured, I will definitely not let you down again!"

Jiang Tiansheng prepared to return to Hong Kong; as Chen Hao Nan drove him slowly toward the wharf, Lin Hao also rode in another car following closely behind.

All the way, each harbored their own thoughts, and the atmosphere inside the cars was somewhat oppressive.

When the vehicles reached the wharf, that open stretch carrying a hint of desolation, the sea wind howled past, blowing people's clothes fluttering.

Jiang Tiansheng had just pushed open the car door, one foot barely stepping out, when suddenly two black shadows burst out from the darkness at the side like ghosts. Their movements were swift as lightning; before anyone could react, the two had already raised the guns in their hands high, the pitch-black muzzles pointed straight at the defenseless Jiang Tiansheng.

"Bang bang!" Two crisp, ear-splitting gunshots instantly shattered the wharf's tranquility, the sound echoing endlessly in the empty space, like Death's wild laughter.

Jiang Tiansheng's eyes widened, his face full of shock and disbelief; he never could have imagined that at this seemingly ordinary moment of parting, he would encounter such a sudden assassination.
