The Lin Family, starting with Lin Xizhen's father Lin Liangyi, was involved in the opium business. Initially, the three brothers Lin Liangyi, Lin Wenyi, and Lin Huayi were partners. Later, after Lin Xizhen expanded the family's opium business, he, like his father, took care of his brothers. The six brothers of Lin Xizhen's generation were all once Lin Xizhen's capable assistants. However, later, as Lin Xizhen and Pedro Lobo fell out and became enemies, he suspected that someone around him had betrayed him and provided information to Pedro Lobo's side. Therefore, he began to actively distance himself from his brothers. After Lin Xizhen was shot and killed, the Lin Family, under the decision of the first wife and the eldest son Lin Xiaoze, quickly withdrew from Macau, and had almost no contact with Lin Xizhen's brothers again.
However, among the six brothers of Lin Xizhen, only the fifth brother, Lin Xishen, Old Six, Lin Xiyuan, still maintained contact with the Lin Xizhen family after they returned to Hong Kong. The reason was simply that Lin Xishen and Lin Xiyuan had previously been responsible for dealing with the troublemakers in the underworld who had caused trouble for Lin Xizhen. They were Lin Xizhen's representatives in underworld affairs. In the eyes of Lin Xiaoze and his first wife, the two were loyal and unrefined underworld men who had made great contributions to the Lin Family in the past. Compared with the other brothers who had attended Queen's College or other colleges, they were simple-minded and more reliable, and unlikely to betray Lin Xizhen.
The only thing the First Madam was dissatisfied with about her two younger brothers-in-law was that, despite living in Macau and each having their own gang of underworld figures, they refused to avenge the deceased Lin Xizhen or cause trouble for Pedro Lobo, instead choosing to spend their later years in Macau in peace.
"My second sister-in-law has always blamed me and my fifth brother for not helping my second brother get revenge. Now that A He is asking me, his sixth uncle, to do something, if I don't help, then Macau and Hong Kong will be separated, and although we are the same Lin Family, we will truly lose all contact." Lin Xiyuan said, unbuttoning his undershirt. The maid next to him hurriedly raised a fan and gently fanned him.
Jiang Mingcong pondered for a moment before speaking, "That young man is accompanied by He Xian's bodyguards. It's easy to find unfamiliar faces to do things, but word of this Macau Street area will eventually reach He Xian's ears. I'm afraid that you, Sixth Uncle, won't look so good in front of He Xian then."
"A He said that the young man was forced to come to Macau to borrow money by him. Now it seems that He Xian can send his bodyguards to pick him up, so the two have some kind of relationship. However, last night the Black Devils and the People's Liberation Army exchanged fire, and it is said that there were casualties on both sides, which led to the imposition of martial law at the Border Gate. With such a big incident in Macau Street, He Xian will inevitably have to step in to smooth things over. During this period, He Xian has no time to deal with a young man from Hong Kong who came to borrow money. Find someone to take advantage of the current panic on the streets and the fact that no one is paying attention, and sabotage the water pipes and electrical wires of the New Asia Hotel. It's so hot, and without water and electricity, and he's just a young man, he can't sit still in his room. When he comes out, arrange for a few 'Big Tin Yi' who just came ashore to rest to take care of him, whether they can take him out or not..." Lin Xiyuan spoke very slowly, and although his eyes were slightly cloudy, his thinking was not like the rough and rugged gangster that his second sister-in-law remembered.
Jiang Mingcong immediately understood and replied, "I know. We'll make sure those Big Tin Yi shut up completely, so they don't get involved."
"Go ahead and make the arrangements. It's perfectly normal for a Hong Kong guy to die in Macau Street."
"It's amazing that you were able to find me." Song Tianyao asked Lam Kong on the other end of the phone, holding the receiver.
Lam Kong's voice seemed to have returned to its previous nonchalant tone after last night's struggle. "I asked Sister Yun, she said she had something urgent to tell you, that's why she gave me your current number. So, Mr. Song, the Lin Family sent someone to see me yesterday."
He recounted the entire story of how the Lin Family had arranged for him to meet with Song Tianyao, and finally said, "I've also talked to Brother Hung about this. The Lin Family wants me, a nobody, to help them. What can someone like me do? Framing, perjury, forced confessions. Brother Hung and I have thought about this for a long time, and we think it's more likely they're planning to have me confess to perjury. We just don't know what kind of perjury they'll have me confess to. I can only warn you to be careful, and watch out for other tricks the Lin Family might have up their sleeves."
"Understood. I'll treat you to tea when I get back to Hong Kong." Song Tianyao hung up the phone with a smile on his face.
He Xian was about to leave with his men. He had been missing in Macau for a whole night. One night is not a long time for an ordinary person, but for He Xian, who could influence the situation in Macau, it was an extremely long time after something happened. Both the Macau Foreign Devil and the mainland side needed a middleman to mediate and convey their attitudes. Naturally, He Xian was the only suitable person for this task.
"What's up?" He Xian let Huang Ziya personally check his bulletproof vest, and asked Song Tianyao, who had just hung up the phone, "Is there an urgent need for you to manage the Hong Kong business?"
"No rush. News of the shelling of Macau reached Hong Kong, and a friend asked if I was safe," Song Tianyao said with a polite smile to He Xian.
"I don't think you'll have a chance to see Pedro Lobo these next few days. If you're not too busy with business and aren't in a hurry to go back to Hong Kong, go listen to some music, watch a movie, or find a girl on Longfu New Street to keep you company. I'll find an opportunity to talk to Pedro Lobo Bao after I've sorted things out of this matter." He Xian took his coat, put it on, covered his bulletproof vest, and said to Song Tianyao.
Song Tianyao walked to the window and looked outside. "Mr. He, with the Border Gate closed, prices in Macau will definitely skyrocket. Most people in the Green Island slums won't even have enough to eat. Can I do some good deeds? Buy a batch of food and send it to the poor. It would be like following Mr. He's example of good deeds. I'm just a young man from Hong Kong. Will people accuse me of stealing the limelight if I do good deeds in Macau?"
"Haha~" He Xian laughed, "Everyone's happy for you, how could they scold you? But the Green Island District is a mixed bag, so you need to be careful. Don't worry about stealing the locals' thunder; you're doing charity in Macau, not stealing their business. By the way, after we're done, I can have newspaper reporters and radio stations broadcast your good deeds to promote you in Macau. If you have any urgent business to attend to back in Hong Kong, go to the Black Sand Bay Pier and find Chen Wuhei. He has a speedboat, A-Liu knows how to find him. I'm off."
"Take care, Mr. He." Song Tianyao escorted He Xian to his guest room. He stood in the corridor watching the group disappear into the elevator before returning to his room. Sitting on the sofa, he looked at Huang Liu, who, out of boredom, was scattering a deck of cards all over the room.
