Even if you strike again, you'll still trap me here without giving me a chance to make a second call.
"You step forward, take all the blame, and this matter ends here. Everyone can go their separate ways," Song Tianyao said after staring at Lin Xiaohe in silence for more than ten seconds.
Lin Xiaohe calmly retorted, "Do you think I would believe your words, 'It ends here'?"
"Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant. If you don't stand up, not only will Lin Xiao qia accompany you, but Lin Xiaosen will also come in tonight to accompany you. As for Lin Xiaoze, the lawyer I hired in Britain and the head of the Lu Family are ready to sue the Lin Family for the Mui Tsai issue. Do you really want the entire Lin Family to be smeared and end up leaving Taiwan with you in despair?" Song Tianyao did not avoid Lin Xiaohe's sharp gaze and met his eyes without fear.
Lin Xiaohe showed no emotional fluctuation. "Why did you stop?"
"Pedro Lobo has stopped, otherwise the stocks wouldn't have ended up in the He Family's hands. Without his backer, I have no interest in continuing this 'snake swallowing an elephant' scheme. I've made tens of millions in the stock market, which is enough for my future business expenses. There's no need to grit my teeth and keep going. After all, the He Family isn't the Lin Family. Offending the He Family is equivalent to offending the Britain, Taiwan, and the mainland. If you take all the blame and the whole thing just ends like that, there are already too many people and things involved. It's better to just decide the outcome here. If you admit defeat, I'll stop and let the Lin Family off the hook, which will also be a way of giving the He Family face."
"Could I meet my wife?"
"Today, MacIntosh- to announced a citywide crackdown on triads, and things are in chaos outside. I don't think it's necessary for Mrs. Lam to go through such danger to come to Kwun Tong to see you, and besides, there's not enough time." Song Tianyao took off his watch and placed it in front of Lin Xiaohe, pointing to the hanging rings on the roof used for torture. "If you take the blame, at least the Lin Family won't be in chaos. In ten minutes, the police here will change shifts, and you can leave peacefully."
"Once I'm dead, the He Family will stop opposing you, and you'll have far fewer troubles." Lin Xiao qia glanced at the time and gave Song Tianyao a mocking smile.
"If you don't die, the Lin Family will face even more trouble. You're a high-ranking politician; you don't want to stay in prison watching your family fall apart and scatter like monkeys when the tree falls, do you?"
"If I live, and the mainland retakes Hong Kong, at least I'll see you fleeing Hong Kong in a sorry state," Lin Xiaohe said with a smile.
Song Tianyao leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice. "I'm afraid it's the exact opposite of what you think. If you hadn't died then, you would definitely have been taken to be shot at."
Lin Xiaohe was taken aback at first, then laughed, "Impressive, impressive. The Britain have been well taken care of, and they've even made arrangements for Mainland China. It's easy for me to die, but I'll have to see your sincerity."
"Sincerity?" Song Tianyao rubbed his temples, raised the cigarette in his hand to Lin Xiaohe, and said, "Lin Xiaohe, I, Song Tianyao, gave away 30% of his mother's fake hair business before coming in to offer you a cigarette before you leave. If you live, even if you are disgraced, I will continue to hunt down the rest of the Lin Family. If you die, out of respect for the dead, I will stop. This is my greatest sincerity."
Chapter 415 Only One Can Live
The burly Chen Tai stood bare-chested in the room where Yan Hung had arranged for him to hide.
The tattoo on his chest, depicting him sacrificing himself to feed a tiger, was mostly covered by tangled bandages, but it couldn't conceal his fierce aura.
On the chair opposite, sat Yan Hung's trusted follower, A Wai, with his legs crossed. He wore a silk floral shirt with three buttons undone, a gold chain around his neck as thick as a thumb, and a gleaming gold watch on his wrist with a huge crown logo, as if afraid others wouldn't notice it was a Rolex gold watch. His hair was carefully combed with hair wax, shiny and oily, and he carried a faint scent of floral perfume.
Chen Tai felt that everything had changed after his Big Brother died, but he was a bit clumsy with words and couldn't quite put his finger on what the changes were.
He only sensed some changes. For example, when he first started helping Song Tianyao, both Yan Hung, the policeman, and Golden-Tooth Lei, the gangster, treated him intimately, calling him brother.
After leaving Song Tianyao and becoming a disciple of the Big Brother Bo Cong, it seemed that he never had the chance to see Golden-Tooth Lei again. Song Tianyao also saw him only a few times. When Yan Hung met him, he simply addressed him as A-Tai and did not take the initiative to show him any goodwill.
Now, even Yan Hung is nowhere to be seen. Yan Hung's subordinate A Wai, can now sit casually in a chair and talk to him.
He hadn't seen Scribe Hui he used to run errands with on Tai Wo Street, for a long time, nor had he seen Zhao Wenye for a long time either.
He had already made a name for himself in the martial arts world through his own fists and hard work, but Yan Hung, Golden-Tooth Lei, and other shady characters seemed to look down on him more and more.
"A-Tai, if you want to avenge your Big Brother, Bo Cong, tonight is the perfect opportunity. There's a massive crackdown on triads across Hong Kong, and the Police Force have even enlisted the help of the British Forces in Hong Kong. They're as excited as a pile of dry tinder doused in hot water. But unfortunately, the triads have all gotten wind of it and are playing dumb, preventing the Police Force from taking any real action to demonstrate their ruthless methods as the crime-fighting force. So, you're the spark that ignites the tinder. Go to Sai Wan tonight and smash up Wo On Lok's gang. As soon as the Wo On Lok starts, I guarantee that every slightly influential figure in Wo On Lok's underworld will be dragged into the police station tonight and thrown into Shark Dim Sum House tomorrow. Have someone ambush them near Shark Dim Sum House. The police will be humiliated. Even if you kill them all, the extradition department will pretend they didn't see it." A Wai lowered his head, lit a State Express 555 cigarettes with his gilded lighter, leisurely exhaled a puff of smoke, and then smiled at Chen Tai as he spoke.
He was Yan Hung's trusted confidant, accompanying him through the ups and downs of the Police Force. He even went with Yan Hung to guard the reservoir in Sha Tau Kok. Now that Yan Hung has been promoted to the lucrative Yau Ma Tei Detective Chief Inspector, his position has risen accordingly. As one of Yan Hung's favorites, the underworld Big Brother in Yau Ma Tei have all sent him invitations. After all, everyone has heard about Yan Hung's methods in Mong Kok. You either make money according to the rules of the police or you get framed by the police.
Chen Tai rubbed a small scratch on his arm. "Working with the police?"
