Li Fu was Li Jie's cousin. The two looked very alike, somewhat like Ming Dao and Ethan Ruan.

At first glance, the two brothers looked like the same person, but upon closer inspection, they were completely different people. Li Fu was also the male lead of the film The Contract Killer.

Wang Jianjun, on the other hand, bore a striking resemblance to Chang Wei. He was the villain in the film Bodyguards of Zhongnanhai.

In the original film, Wang Jianjun had turned to being a hitman because he could not find any other suitable work after being discharged from the military.

Now that Wang Jianjun had only recently been discharged, Dai Changsheng had recruited him ahead of time. With a legitimate, high-paying job available, he naturally would not risk his life by taking his brothers out to become hitmen.

Looking at the spirited retired veterans before him, Dai Changsheng felt an unprecedented sense of security.

With these retired veterans backing him up, Dai Changsheng could finally go all out and make something big happen.

The next morning

Top floor of Golden Eagle Building, chairman's office.

After signing the employment contract with Dai Changsheng, Lawyer Zhang smiled ingratiatingly. "Mr. Dai, rest assured! If you run into any legal problems in the future, come straight to me. I'll do everything in my power to settle them for you."

"Of course I trust Lawyer Zhang's professional abilities. I'll be relying on you to put in more effort from now on."

Dai Changsheng smiled and shook Lawyer Zhang's hand, then said to the beautiful secretary massaging him, "Shalina, see Lawyer Zhang out for me. And bring Mr. Li in while you're at it."

"Yes, Boss."

Shalina, with her striking looks and curvaceous figure, swayed her ample hips and stepped forward on her long legs wrapped in black stockings. She gestured for Lawyer Zhang to follow, then led him out of the chairman's office.

Shalina was the beautiful secretary of the drug lord Chu Tao from Police Story. She looked like a younger version of Brigitte Lin, with an indefinable heroic air about her.

According to the information Dai Changsheng had uncovered, Chu Tao had been sent to prison not long ago by Shalina and Chan Ka Kui working together.

For a professional secretary like Shalina, cooperating with the police to send her own boss to prison was tantamount to violating an industry taboo.

Once Chu Tao had been sent to prison, Shalina had lost her job completely. No company owner dared take the risk of bringing someone who might stab them in the back into their ranks.

But Dai Changsheng was different. He was not worried that Shalina would betray him.

Judging by the original plot, Shalina had not initially intended to betray Chu Tao. She had even set Chan Ka Kui up at a critical moment.

If Chu Tao had not been so ruthless as to insist on killing Shalina to silence her, she would never have joined forces with Chan Ka Kui to send him to prison.

Dai Changsheng was not an unreasonable man either. If one day he wanted to kill Shalina, he would not be so tyrannical as to forbid her from resisting in self-defense.

Of course, Dai Changsheng also admitted that a large part of the reason he had taken her in was because he coveted Shalina's body.

As for the Lawyer Zhang whom Shalina had seen out, his full name was Zhang Wei. He was the very lawyer who had defended Chu Tao in the original story.

Lawyer Zhang might not have been a good man, but his professional ability was undeniably exceptional.

In the original story, Chu Tao had been personally arrested by Chan Ka Kui, only for Lawyer Zhang to talk his way into getting him acquitted in court with just a few words.

What was even more outrageous was that after Chu Tao had already been sent to prison, Lawyer Zhang had gotten him out again under the pretext that "Chu Tao had cancer and needed Medical Parole."

Lawyer Zhang's blatant trampling of the law in the original story truly made people grit their teeth in hatred, but it also proved just how capable he was.

That was why Dai Changsheng had asked Shalina to contact Lawyer Zhang and hired him at a high price as Golden Eagle Security Company's legal adviser.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

A crisp knock suddenly sounded. Shalina, dressed in a black office-lady outfit, walked in with an utterly unremarkable dark-skinned young man.

"Hello, Mr. Dai. I'm Li Jiayuan."

After entering the lavishly decorated office, the dark-skinned young man paused in surprise before hurriedly walking to the desk and shaking Dai Changsheng's hand.

"No need for formalities, Mr. Li. Have a seat!"

The dark-skinned young man named Li Jiayuan before him was nicknamed "Jimmy Boy." He was also the male lead of Election 2.

Unlike ordinary thugs, Li Jiayuan had not joined a triad to climb the ranks. He had been forced to join one simply so he could keep his business going.

Public security on Hong Kong Island was far too chaotic, and idle triad members could be found everywhere.

Without triad connections, ordinary people would be shaken down by those thugs practically every day. It was simply impossible to grow a business, so Li Jiayuan had no choice but to join a triad.

Over the years, Li Jiayuan had made a great deal of money under Wo Luen Shing's name, and he had begun considering leaving the triad and legitimizing the businesses under his control.

Thus, Li Jiayuan had moved most of his businesses to the mainland, hoping to gradually sever his ties with Wo Luen Shing.

Unfortunately, he had run into trouble on the mainland. Director Shi had forbidden him from doing business there unless he could become Wo Luen Shing's next leader.

"Mr. Li, I don't like beating around the bush, so I'll be direct with you."

Facing Li Jiayuan's somewhat puzzled gaze, Dai Changsheng got straight to the point. "I think the mainland has excellent development prospects, and I intend to do some business there. I heard you have some connections on the mainland, so I would like to go into business with you.

"Also, I heard you are competing for the position of Wo Luen Shing's leader. To show my sincerity, I can do everything in my power to help you take that position. What do you think?"

"..."

Li Jiayuan pondered for a while before finally smiling and extending his right hand. "Mr. Dai, happy cooperation!"

While waiting in the reception hall earlier, Li Jiayuan had secretly observed the guards at Golden Eagle Security Company. He had discovered that none of them were ordinary; they were likely veterans who had retired from the battlefield.

A'min and A'hong

Dai Changsheng's ability to recruit so many retired veterans showed that he possessed not only abundant wealth, but also powerful connections.

Li Jiayuan happened to be desperately short of help right now, so there was naturally no reason for him to refuse Dai Changsheng's offer of cooperation.

After reaching an agreement with Li Jiayuan, Dai Changsheng was not stingy. He immediately dispatched Wang Jianjun with a security squad to help him compete for the position of Wo Luen Shing's leader.

Compared to Li Jie and Li Fu, Wang Jianjun had far lower moral limits. As long as Dai Changsheng paid him enough, he would not hesitate even if ordered to slaughter innocents.

That was why Dai Changsheng had specifically assigned Wang Jianjun and the others to an independent security squad, letting them handle matters that could not see the light of day.

At present, only three people in Wo Luen Shing were qualified to compete for the position of next leader: Jimmy Boy, Dongguan Boy, and Le Shao.

Since Jimmy Boy was more of a businessman, he did not have any particularly capable fighters under him.

In the original story, Jimmy Boy had specifically spent a large sum to hire Money-Adding Brother to deal with Dongguan Boy and Le Shao.

But with Wang Jianjun and the others helping him, Jimmy Boy no longer needed to hire Money-Adding Brother. They were far fiercer than he was.

Nightfall slowly descended, and the city's towering buildings shimmered with captivating colors beneath the night sky.

As Hong Kong Island's most famous nightclub, The Grandeur was especially lively every night, with luxury cars streaming endlessly past its entrance.

A black Limo Lincoln slowly pulled up outside The Grandeur nightclub. Li Jie and Li Fu, who looked alike and wore black suits, got out first.

Escorted by Li Jie and the others, Dai Changsheng, dressed in a white suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, calmly entered The Grandeur.

"Mr. Dai, you've finally arrived~"

The moment Dai Changsheng and his group entered The Grandeur, a heavily made-up middle-aged woman weighing over two hundred pounds came forward with an ingratiating smile.

This heavy-tank-like woman was one of The Grandeur's madams, nicknamed Fatty Ma.

"A'hong, A'min, what are you still standing around for? Hurry up and take good care of Mr. Dai!"

At Fatty Ma's command, the two stunning dancers behind her hurried forward and hooked their arms through Dai Changsheng's.

The dancer named A'hong wore a low-cut red dress. She was tall, seductive, and looked eighty percent like Hong Gu. Unfortunately, her movements were far too practiced; she had clearly been in the trade for a long time.

The dancer named A'min looked to be around twenty. Her skin was snow-white, and she had an innocent air about her. She was probably a newcomer who had only recently entered the trade. She looked ninety percent like Sao Min and was utterly endearing.

Especially when Dai Changsheng's arm brushed against her Baby's Canteen, he could clearly feel A'min's delicate body stiffen.

A man's two greatest hobbies were persuading fallen women to go straight and dragging respectable women into the mire!

The more shy A'min appeared, the more Dai Changsheng wanted to tease her. He patted her ample hip with his hand. "You're A'min, right? Why are you so shy?"

(ω)

After being molested, A'min instinctively wanted to escape Dai Changsheng's grasp. But when she thought of her stepfather imprisoned in Stanley Prison, she could only force down her shame and let him have his way.

A'min had not originally wanted to become a dancer. She and Little Sister had lived with their mother and stepfather since childhood. Though the family had struggled financially, they had been happy together.

After coming of age, A'min had chosen to work at a hair salon to supplement the household income and support Little Sister's schooling.

Then, more than a month ago, the dancer A'hong had gotten into a violent fight with several business partners at the hair salon where A'min worked.

Unfazed by threats, A'min had stepped forward to help the outnumbered A'hong, and the two had forged a deep friendship.

Unfortunately, disaster struck. A'min's stepfather had been framed and imprisoned, her mother had fallen seriously ill, and Little Sister still needed money for school.

Thus, A'min had no choice but to enter the trade as a dancer, earning fast money to keep the family afloat.

With A'hong's help, A'min had become a dancer, but she only accompanied clients for drinks and had barely managed to preserve her chastity.

Under normal circumstances, A'min would never have come to entertain a guest like Dai Changsheng. If someone as powerful as him wanted to force himself on her, she would have no room to refuse.

A'min had taken the initiative to entertain Dai Changsheng because Fatty Ma had told her that two guests of special status were having fun in the private room Dai Changsheng had reserved.

One of them was a middle-aged man with a completely bald head. His name was Xu Jiang, nicknamed Ghost's Dread, and he was the Prison Warden of Stanley Prison.

The other man, who had a sleazy-looking face, was named Chung Chor Hung. Nicknamed Killer Xiong, he was a section chief at Stanley Prison and Ghost's Dread's trusted subordinate.

If Dai Changsheng was willing to help, even if A'min's stepfather could not be released directly, he would at least be able to live comfortably in prison.

That was precisely why A'min had come to serve Dai Changsheng on her own initiative. She had already prepared herself to sacrifice her body to save her father.

Seeing how embarrassed A'min looked, A'hong hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over. "Mr. Dai, A'min has only been here for a little over half a month. She hasn't even sat with a client before~ If there's anything lacking in her service, please be understanding."

"Is that so?"

Dai Changsheng raised a brow, a faintly teasing smile appearing on his lips. "Then it seems I'm lucky tonight. Still, there's no need for you two to be afraid. I'm always most tender toward beautiful women."

With that, Dai Changsheng wrapped his arms around the two women's Slender Waists and headed for the private room he had reserved in advance.

Ghost's Dread and Killer Xiong, who were each holding a woman in their arms, hurried forward with ingratiating smiles when they saw their wealthy patron arrive.

Compared with other branches of the police, the prison guard department was a department with relatively little profit to be made.

After all, in a place like Hong Kong Island, truly wealthy people basically never went to prison. Even if they did, they would soon be bailed out.

Those prisoners locked up for long stretches were mostly poor wretches without money or connections, making it difficult to squeeze much profit from them.

Dai Changsheng, however, was different. He was genuinely wealthy and had donated ten million Hong Kong dollars to the police force not long ago.

Dai Changsheng had invited Ghost's Dread and the others here to discuss donating money to Stanley Prison's guard department.

Though Dai Changsheng was nominally donating to the entire prison guard department, Ghost's Dread, as Stanley Prison's current Prison Warden, could easily skim a portion for himself.

After a round of friendly discussions, Dai Changsheng ultimately decided to donate one million Hong Kong dollars to the prison guard department first, to upgrade its equipment.

Turning Gun Technique

What delighted Ghost's Dread and the others most was Dai Changsheng's statement that this was only the first donation, and that he would continue donating in the future depending on the circumstances.

Dai Changsheng was buying off Ghost's Dread and the others because he knew Stanley Prison concealed many talented individuals, and he was preparing to recruit talent for his future plans.

Besides making it easier to recruit talent, Dai Changsheng had another purpose: learning the Turning Gun Technique from Killer Xiong.

In the original story, in order to obtain the three hundred million dollars in bonds Robinson had hidden away, Killer Xiong had planned to seduce Lau Yiu Cho's mistress Mona with his looks. Instead, she mocked him as a little sparrow and humiliated him mercilessly.

In the end, after being talked into it by Qian Wendi, Killer Xiong had stumbled into mastering the Turning Gun Technique, allowing him to win Mona over.

Dai Changsheng was very interested in that Turning Gun Technique that could hit wherever one pointed, which was why he had asked Ghost's Dread to bring Killer Xiong along.

Faced with Dai Changsheng's earnest request for guidance, Killer Xiong, who had just benefited from his hospitality, found it difficult to conceal anything. He promptly taught him all of his experience in practicing the Turning Gun Technique.

Seeing Dai Changsheng chatting so happily with Ghost's Dread and the others, A'min took the opportunity to act coquettishly and ask Dai Changsheng to have Ghost's Dread and the others look after her stepfather.

Dai Changsheng did not directly agree to A'min's request. Instead, he set the condition that she become his canary from then on.

Having long prepared herself for this, A'min agreed to Dai Changsheng's condition without hesitation.

Compared with remaining at The Grandeur as a dancer, smiling and drinking with different men every day, A'min felt that becoming Dai Changsheng's canary was the better deal.

Besides, Dai Changsheng himself was a handsome man with an extraordinary bearing. Being his canary did not seem like such a loss.

After the drinking party ended, Dai Changsheng took A'min and A'hong away from The Grandeur and headed toward his villa.

Dai Changsheng's stamina far exceeded that of an ordinary person. He could take on ten men alone without breaking a sweat, so A'min was no match for him at all. In the end, A'hong had to help her bear most of the assault.

It was not until noon the next day, after A'hong recovered first, that she helped the somewhat mobility-impaired A'min leave the villa.

It was not that Dai Changsheng was heartless after getting what he wanted. A'min still needed to return home to care for Little Sister and her seriously ill mother, so she could not stay at the villa long-term.

Dai Changsheng had no intention of mistreating A'min. He promised to give her thirty thousand Hong Kong dollars a month as spending money, and because she was facing difficulties, he advanced a year's worth of spending money to her.
