Chapter 145: Heavy Hammer! (Seeking Subscriptions)

At noon, Lin Dashao got off work and arrived at the company parking lot.

His mood was very average; going to work was just like completing a task, with no interest at all.

He only held a nominal title, and he had no real power at all.

It was just that he didn't have much ambition, his ability was also very average, and his own personality couldn't be considered strong. Otherwise, with such perfunctory arrangements, he would have kicked up a fuss long ago.

In fact, how could he not have a feeling about the situation at home?

It was just that he was used to enjoying a wealthy life and lacked the determination to start over, so he could only muddle along.

In reality, his thoughts were very simple and easy to guess!

It was just that after his old man passed away, not to mention the bulk of the family fortune, he would always be able to get some scraps.

It can only be said that he was overthinking.

"Mr. Lin!"

Just at this moment, someone called out to stop him.

Lin Dashao looked back and saw a sharp-looking young man walking over with a face full of smiles.

What made him uneasy was that behind the young man followed several men with exposed, muscular arms.

The key was that their exposed arms were all covered in dragon and phoenix tattoos; one look and it was clear they were not good people.

"Who are you? I don't know you!"

Lin Dashao said vigilantly: "You must know what kind of place this is, don't mess around!"

"Mr. Lin!"

Li Xin spoke with a smile: "My Big Brother would like to invite you over for a visit to discuss something!"

The other party calling him 'Mr. Lin' every other word made Lin Dashao feel quite comforted.

It was just that, without knowing the other party's identity, he couldn't just leave with them.

It was fortunate that Zhang Ziqiang hadn't targeted the Red Mansion yet, otherwise, Young Master Lin would probably have already screamed out loud.

"Who is your Big Brother?"

Muttering in his heart, he knew that anyone with such a title was usually a member of a triad society.

He didn't remember being on good terms with any triad Big Brother.

"Hung Hing Sai Kung Hall Master, Wu Feng!"

Li Xin stated the name directly; his Big Brother had made it very clear on the phone.

"You are from Hung Hing?"

Lin Dashao realized, frowning as he said: "But I don't know your Big Brother, and I have no interest in knowing him!"

After speaking, he opened the car door, intending to get in and leave.

Li Xin's impression on him wasn't bad, so he didn't want to cause any extra trouble.

"Mr. Lin, my Big Brother just had a conflict with Lin Ershao!"

Li Xin said unhurriedly: "The reason I'm inviting you over to talk is because I want to cooperate with you, Mr. Lin!"

"Cooperate?"

Lin Dashao's footsteps paused, and he became interested, asking curiously: "Your Big Brother doesn't think I would help him deal with my own younger brother, does he? That would be a miscalculation!"

As he spoke, he snorted with disdain, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"About this matter, as an Underling, I really can't explain it clearly!"

Li Xin said with a bitter smile: "Why don't you come with me, Mr. Lin? It won't take long!"

Seeing Lin Dashao still hesitating, he continued: "My Big Brother said that as long as you go, Mr. Lin, you definitely won't have made the trip for nothing!"

"Heh, what big talk!"

Lin Dashao was amused, a look of undisguised mockery appearing on his face as he said disdainfully: "What does your Big Brother have to make such a guarantee? Does he think I'm that easy to dismiss?"

By the end, his tone had become a bit more severe; he was truly a bit angry.

It was one thing to have no status at home, but if even a triad member dared to look down on him, he wouldn't stand for it.

"Oh, that was my oversight!"

Li Xin showed an apologetic expression and said seriously: "Besides being the Hung Hing Sai Kung Hall Master, my Big Brother is also the owner of two major newspapers, *Mong Kok News* and *Night Color*!"

Hearing this, Lin Dashao's expression changed; he hadn't expected the Big Brother Li Xin spoke of to actually be a Newspaper Tycoon. This identity carried significant weight.

"My Big Brother also has a film company under his command that you must have heard of, Mr. Lin—that is Fengrui Film and Television!"

Li Xin's voice carried pride, and he indeed had the qualifications to be proud.

Lin Dashao's expression changed completely; the other party was actually a film tycoon as well!

He naturally knew of Fengrui Film and Television; it was the fastest-rising film company in Hong Kong over the past year.

Some people had already mentioned it in the same breath as Cinema City, Golden Harvest, and D&B Films; it was quite powerful.

"How did my good younger brother get into a conflict with your Big Brother?"

Lin Dashao's interest increased greatly, and he asked curiously: "Tell me about it!"

"The matter is very simple!"

Li Xin didn't hide anything and said directly: "Lin Ershao wanted to buy the *Night Color* newspaper!"

"My Big Brother didn't agree, and as a result, Lin Ershao played dirty. My Big Brother is very angry!"

Having said this, he continued to extend the invitation: "Mr. Lin, if you have any doubts, you'll understand once you see my Big Brother!"

"I don't know much about the situation either, what do you think?"

Lin Dashao didn't refuse this time and said directly: "You lead the way in front, I'll follow in my car!"

Li Xin was very happy to hear this; he and his Underlings got into the van not far away and started it up to leave quickly.

Lin Dashao, who was driving behind them, was speechless; he didn't understand if the other party was truly low-key or if there was something wrong with their brains—what a low-class van.

Regardless of how he complained in his heart, he still followed along to Mong Kok, Shanghai Street.

The car stopped in front of an old Tong Lau, and then, under Li Xin's guidance, they entered the Tong Lau.

Lin Dashao felt some regret in his heart at this moment; if he hadn't already agreed to come along, he really wouldn't want to set foot in a place like a Tong Lau, it was too demeaning.

As it turned out, the first floor of the Tong Lau was not as crowded, dirty, or messy as he had imagined.

It was a very large space, filled entirely with sturdy young men practicing boxing!

Lin Dashao only glanced at it, and he saw several faces that had appeared on Asia Television programs.

Weren't they those promotional exhibition match fighters for some fighting competition?

Li Xin greeted people all the way as he went deeper, only stopping in front of a ring.

Lin Dashao followed him over and was startled by the scene of people boxing on the ring.

Where had he ever seen someone take on three people at once in a ring?

Not only was it one against three, but one person was chasing three people to beat them!

That robust physique, the sinews and bones full of power, the faint sonic booms when the boxing gloves were thrown—everything showed him one truth: this guy was very strong!

Lin Dashao stood under the ring and watched with his own eyes as that expert who was taking on three people took a few punches as if nothing had happened, while the one who had successfully launched a sneak attack was sent flying by a single punch from him.

This bizarre ring battle ended very quickly!

The three fighters who had been chased and beaten almost subconsciously collapsed to the ground, unwilling to get up.

Their condition looked quite poor, and in the end, they were helped away by others.

"Big Brother, Lin Sheng has arrived!"

At this time, Li Xin spoke to the only expert who was still able to stand on the ring.

Lin Dashao was very surprised; he hadn't expected the person who invited him to be not only very young but also so skilled, which felt quite incredible.

Wasn't this guy a Newspaper Tycoon and a film tycoon?

"Lin Sheng, apologies, I have to let you wait a moment!"

Wu Feng gave Lin Dashao a friendly smile, shook the sweat off his body, and chuckled: "I need to clean up!"

After speaking, he signaled for Li Xin to continue hosting Lin Dashao, while he turned and jumped off the ring to go to the lounge to take a shower.

"Your Big Brother is so good at fighting, impressive!"

Lin Dashao naturally didn't mind, but at this moment, he spoke to Li Xin with a face full of amazement.

"He is indeed good at fighting!"

Li Xin said proudly: "The other three on the ring just now are Red Pole level experts in other societies, and they were among the best fighters in the programs previously broadcast on Asia Television!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Dashao was taken aback, only then realizing that he had underestimated Wu Feng's actual combat ability.

However, he didn't care much; no matter how well Wu Feng could fight, it didn't have much to do with him.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Wu Feng appeared again, dressed in casual clothes, looking very dashing and relaxed.

"Lin Sheng, this is not a place to talk, please follow me!"

He didn't stand on ceremony either, directly taking Lin Dashao to the study on the fifth floor to talk.

After both sides sat down and picked up the fragrant tea cups, Wu Feng then spoke directly: "My Underling should have already told you the reason for inviting Lin Sheng here, right!"

"He indeed told me; it was my younger brother who failed to purchase the *Night Color* newspaper and even used dishonorable means to retaliate. Is Wusheng wanting to strike back?"

Lin Dashao spoke very directly as well; he was already fifty years old, and he didn't have much common language with a young man like Wu Feng, so discussing business directly was naturally the most appropriate.

"Calling it a strike back is a bit much; I just don't want him to have it easy!"

Wu Feng chuckled: "After all, your father's deterrent power is still quite strong!"

"Then what do you want to do?"

Lin Dashao nodded slightly; Wu Feng was clearly still rational and was not directly targeting Lin Ershao.

Otherwise, based on his understanding of his old man, he was afraid he would have to step in personally.

"Of course, it's to help you, Lin Sheng, become a Dadaheng!"

Wu Feng said directly: "Not relying on your dad, but starting your own business and making a fortune!"

"By then, I think Lin Sheng knows better than me what kind of mood Lin Ershao will be in!"

"I just want to ask, where does Wusheng get the confidence to say this?"

Lin Dashao asked back without any politeness: "If there really were such a good opportunity, would Wusheng easily give it to me?"

"I would certainly like to, but unfortunately, I don't have enough connections and channels!"

Wu Feng wasn't angry either, smiling as he said: "In fact, I am helping Lin Sheng!"

"There is a saying: once you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather!"

To Lin Dashao, these words were like a sharp blade piercing his heart, quite fierce and ruthless.

His complexion suddenly became very ugly; it was just that his temperament was soft and he didn't flare up directly, but the dissatisfaction in his eyes was already very obvious.

Wu Feng didn't care at all and continued: "Lin Sheng is not young anymore!"

"But until now, you don't even have a career you can control. I'm afraid this situation will only get worse and worse, am I right?"

These words were another heavy hammer, striking hard at Lin Dashao's heart.

Bang!

Lin Dashao could no longer endure it, slammed his tea cup hard onto the coffee table, and said with a livid face: "Wusheng, what do you mean by this? Are you humiliating me?"

As he spoke, he was about to get up and leave; he also had a temper and wouldn't indulge Wu Feng, a stranger he was meeting for the first time.

"Lin Sheng, have you played an Arcade Machine, and do you know how large the profits of an Arcade Machine are?"
