Protagonist:

Lin Hao

He looked at Lin Hao with a half-smile and said slowly, "Oh? Found out it was the Sam Chain Gang? That's indeed an important lead, but, Brother Lin, things in the jianghu aren't that simple. You think just knowing they did it means you can easily take care of them?"

Lin Hao let out a cold snort, feeling some aversion in his heart toward Jiang Tianyang's pretentiously profound demeanor. He replied, "Mr. Jiang, our Hung Hing isn't vegetarian. Since we know who the enemy is, we naturally have our own methods to deal with it. This matter is already in the planning stages, so there's no need for you to trouble yourself."

Lin Hao and Jiang Tianyang's first meeting ended on a sour note in that slightly deadlocked atmosphere where each harbored reservations about the other. After leaving, Lin Hao walked back toward his residence while secretly pondering what variables Jiang Tianyang's sudden appearance would bring to Hung Hing. He knew well that during this sensitive period with the Hung Hing Dragon Head position vacant, one more powerful competitor would make the situation increasingly complex and unpredictable.

After returning to his residence, Lin Hao sat on the sofa, thought for a moment, then dialed Fei Zai's phone. When the call connected, Lin Hao lowered his voice, a trace of cunning in his tone, and said into the receiver, "Fei Zai, there's something I need you to handle. Jiang Tianyang is back, and from the looks of it, there's an eighty to ninety percent chance he's after the Hung Hing Dragon Head position. Find an opportunity to leak this news to Jing Kun, and let's see what his reaction will be." Fei Zai acknowledged on the other end. Though he felt some doubt in his heart about Lin Hao's move, he didn't ask further and accepted the task, for he had always trusted Lin Hao's arrangements implicitly.

Sure enough, early the next morning, Lin Hao headed to the casino as usual. Just as he stepped through the casino's main entrance, he spotted Jing Kun's conspicuous figure already sitting inside. Jing Kun seemed to have deliberately dressed up today, wearing a rather flamboyant set of designer clothes, a thick gold chain hanging around his neck, his whole person exuding an air of determination and impatience.

The moment he saw Lin Hao enter, he immediately stood up, wearing a half-smile expression, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Yo, Lin Hao, heard that Jiang Tianyang guy is back? And he wants to compete with us for the Hung Hing Dragon Head. Hmph, he couldn't beat Jiang Tiansheng back then and left with his tail between his legs. Now he comes running back wanting to pick up a ready-made deal. Where's there such a cheap bargain?"

Looking at Jing Kun's ugly mug, Lin Hao sneered inwardly but showed nothing on his face, merely replying indifferently, "Jing Kun, I only found out about this recently too. Jiang Tianyang's return does complicate the situation, but who ultimately gets the Dragon Head position depends on who has the ability to convince the crowd. It's not something you can achieve just by running your mouth."

Jing Kun curled his lip, saying with a face full of disdain, "Hmph, him, Jiang Tianyang? What ability could he have? But whoever wants to sit in this Dragon Head seat has to get past me, Jing Kun, first. I'd like to see what tricks he can pull this time he's back."

Just as the two were trading words back and forth, other Hung Hing brothers arrived at the casino one after another. Seeing Jing Kun and Lin Hao standing together and hearing the news of Jiang Tianyang's return, everyone realized that Hung Hing, which had been calm for only a few days, was likely about to erupt into another fierce power struggle. The crowd couldn't help but break into whispered discussions, the entire casino's atmosphere growing increasingly subtle and tense. An open and secret struggle surrounding the Hung Hing Dragon Head position had already silently raised its curtain, while the final outcome remained shrouded in layers of mist, impossible to fathom.

Just as everyone harbored their own thoughts and the casino's atmosphere grew increasingly subtle and tense, Jiang Tianyang swaggered in with several subordinates. His face bore an unfathomable expression, as if everything was under his control. After his gaze scanned the crowd once, the corner of his mouth curved up slightly, and he said slowly, "Perfect, you're all here. Everyone, let's watch TV together."

Everyone was stunned, looking at each other in blank dismay, none understanding what medicine Jiang Tianyang was selling in his gourd. One of Jiang Tianyang's subordinates, receiving the order, quickly walked to the wall and turned on the large TV placed in the corner. As the screen lit up, what appeared was a shocking news report.

In the footage, the once incomparably luxurious villa of the Sam Chain Gang's Ding Yao was cordoned off by police tape, surrounded by police and onlookers. The camera switched, showing Ding Yao lying lifeless in the villa's living room, the floor covered in blood. Her usually charming and shrewd face now appeared exceptionally pale, eyes wide open, as if even in death she was filled with shock and unwillingness. The news anchor's solemn voice came from the TV speakers, reporting this major homicide case that occurred on Ao Dao, stating that the Sam Chain Gang's important figure Ding Yao had been found dead in her own villa, and that the police had already intervened to investigate, with the specific details of the case still under further investigation.

Lin Hao and Jing Kun, seeing this scene, instantly widened their eyes, their faces full of disbelief, both greatly shocked in their hearts. They never expected that Jiang Tianyang, having just returned not long ago, would strike so fast, silently eliminating Ding Yao.
