Chapter 305: A Good Blade!

At Wu Feng's status, concerning himself with underworld affairs was starting to look a bit like "neglecting his proper work."

If word got out, certain people would surely sneer and say, "A mud-legged peasant is still a mud-legged peasant; even if he gets lucky and makes it big, he can't change his mud-legged temperament!"

But in reality, he just wanted to hear some underworld rumors to relax his mind.

Compared to entertainment industry gossip, he was much more interested in hearing various rumors from the Hong Kong underworld.

As the boss of a well-known film and television company, he truly had no shortage of gossip from the entertainment industry.

Precisely because he knew so much, he felt absolutely nothing for the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

Come to think of it, aside from the female artists signed to Fengrui Film and Television and Qiankun Film and Television, almost every other famous Hong Kong actress had some sort of situation going on.

There were certainly those who kept themselves clean, but they were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

The status of Hong Kong actresses was truly too low.

They might still have the glow of stardom in front of the general public, but in front of those with real power and influence, they were simply not worth mentioning.

Even now, certain circles in Hong Kong still viewed actresses as "the lowest of the low."

In later generations, those unsavory practices in the Mainland entertainment industry were basically learned from their Hong Kong counterparts.

One could only say it was even more unbearable than imagined.

Not only was their status low, but they were also cliquish and divided into many factions.

The core of Wireless was the stars and artists who came from Shanghai.

Take Shen Feifei for example; don't look at her as just a comedian, her influence within Wireless was not small.

She could easily make connections with Fang Yihua!

Furthermore, the relationship between star artists and triads was quite close!

Still taking Shen Feifei, among her sworn brothers were criminal gang bosses like Deng and Guangrong!

In short, the Hong Kong entertainment circle was quite chaotic, and Wu Feng didn't really like the gossip within it.

As for the gossip of wealthy families, Wu Feng didn't like that either, because it was too dark and too oppressive.

What could be reported was only a tiny fraction of the messy affairs inside these so-called wealthy families.

Either a certain wealthy family had completely fallen into chaos and couldn't hide their domestic scandals anymore.

Or, they did it intentionally, using one matter to cover up a bigger one.

Involving massive family interests, it almost infinitely magnified the various ugliness in human nature.

Ever since he learned about certain wealthy family gossip, he had no interest in these at all.

One could only say that some classic wealthy family feud dramas were filmed too conservatively.

Plus, Hong Kong only ended the system of polygamy in the seventies; any traditional wealthy man with some assets had several wives at home, and the number of children was not small at all.

Once there were no effective methods of cultivation, or if the bowl of water wasn't held level, it was very easy to produce conflicts so intense they couldn't be resolved.

The Lin Baiyi family, which Wu Feng was most familiar with, was the best example.

Lin Dashao was born to Lin Baiyi's first wife; strictly speaking, he absolutely belonged to the "legitimate eldest son," and his own ability wasn't bad, but once there was a stepmother, there was a stepfather.

In a normal world without Wu Feng's support, he would have received almost no family assets.

Of course, with the financial power of the Lin Baiyi family, Lin Dashao could at least live a life free from worry about food and clothing until he passed away.

In some families where the internal situation was dire, it was truly a case of people fighting until their brains were smashed like dogs'.

These wealthy family rumors were actually not hard to investigate, given Wu Feng's current status.

But he really had little interest in knowing about them.

They weren't as interesting as underworld rumors; at least those he had an interest in understanding.

Clearly, his trusted Underling Li Xin knew of this hobby of his, and from time to time, he would come over to bring him new rumors from the underworld, as well as some interesting news.

It was also through this that he increased the time and frequency of his contact and interaction with Wu Feng.

As Wu Feng became an elder of Hong Xing, he also let go of triad affairs in a clean and efficient manner.

If there weren't massive legitimate industries, the trusted underlings who took over might still be loyal, but they definitely wouldn't be able to obey every command and call.

In fact, influenced by their Big Brother Wu Feng, his trusted underlings also attached great importance to legitimate business.

Mainly, gray-market business had high risks and the income wasn't stable.

Once the police deliberately targeted them, even if they could settle it in the end, the human resources and capital used during that time were not simple amounts.

As for legitimate business, once it reached a certain scale, one was firmly a "superior person."

Having witnessed the glory of Big Brother Wu Feng, if his trusted underlings still hadn't turned the corner, then there was something wrong with their brains and they needed to think it over carefully.

Li Xin was definitely a smart person!

Seeing that Wu Feng had moved his residence to the group building, there would be very little time for contact in the future.

If he didn't actively and proactively run around, he feared the sentiment and relationship would grow cold.

This was not a good thing, and Li Xin certainly didn't want such a situation to occur.

Thus, whenever there was any movement in the underworld, he liked to run over to report it to Wu Feng.

Of course, the matter of Ben Shu from Dong Xing being slashed and injured certainly couldn't be considered a small matter!

This old guy was a very difficult-to-provoke old fox; Causeway Bay Hall Master Dalao B must have felt this deeply, as he had been tormented quite a bit by Ben Shu.

It was just unexpected that such a character had actually been slashed by his own people.

"It is said that Luotuo of Dong Xing wanted Ben Shu to hand over the Causeway Bay territory he held, and sent Wuya to negotiate with him!"

Seeing that Wu Feng was interested, Li Xin explained in detail: "How could Ben Shu possibly agree?"

Just kidding, Ben Shu had spent quite a lot of effort occupying those three streets in Causeway Bay.

Everyone knew that the territory in Causeway Bay was rich in profit; no matter who got it, their strength in the triad would see a very obvious increase, and Ben Shu was naturally no exception.

"Big Brother, you should have heard that Wuya of Dong Xing is a guy with a problem in his brain; he acts eccentrically and unscrupulously, making it very hard to guess his specific intentions!"

"This guy flips the table at the slightest disagreement, and then he just grabs a knife and starts slashing, without any reservations at all!"

Speaking of this, Li Xin could not help but sigh: "This guy is truly crazy. Is he not afraid that doing this will trigger a massive brawl within Eastern Star?"

Ben Shu had taken over the Causeway Bay territory for over a year now.

In such a long time, his own forces, as well as the strength of his ally Jinmao Hu, and even the strength of his top fighter Kele, had all grown significantly.

To say nothing else, they were definitely a very formidable faction within Eastern Star.

If they were to recklessly "avenge" Ben Shu, Eastern Star could truly face internal strife.

"This guy Wuya is truly a sharp blade!"

Wu Feng, however, could not help but sigh: "No wonder Luotuo has always kept him by his side; this guy is indeed useful!"

Seeing Li Xin's face full of confusion, he chuckled: "One mountain cannot hold two tigers; Luotuo certainly cannot tolerate Ben Shu's influence continuing to expand, otherwise it would easily threaten his position as Dragon Head!"

"The rest of Eastern Star knows Wuya's temper; since the incident of him slashing an uncle occurred, as long as Luotuo does not pursue it, the other powerful factions of Eastern Star will not pursue it excessively either!"
