With the 360,000 Hong Kong Dollars Dai Changsheng had given her, not only could A'min cure her mother's illness, but she no longer had to worry about her little sister's tuition either. There would even be plenty left over for daily expenses.

That was why A'min had hurried home, eager to share the good news with her little sister.

A few days later

Stanley Prison

Under Dai Changsheng's guidance, A'min, dressed casually, successfully met her imprisoned stepfather—Big Fool!

"A'min, why did you come alone? Where's your mother?"

Seeing that A'min was the only one who had come to visit him, Big Fool was immediately seized by a sense of foreboding.

"Dad, Mom's in the hospital, but don't worry. Her illness has already been cured. The doctor said she can be discharged after resting for a few more days."

"That's good, that's good."

Learning that his wife was all right, Big Fool finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then smiled and said, "A'min, don't be stingy with the Settlement Fee Boss Tang gave you. The Prison Warden said I've been behaving well lately. In another year and a half, I'll be released."

A'min unconsciously clenched her fists. "Dad! That bastard Tang Bin never gave us any Settlement Fee at all. When Mom went to ask him for 50,000 dollars, he only gave her 500 before throwing her out. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been angered badly enough to end up in the hospital."

"What?! That bastard Tang Bin actually dared to go back on his word!"

Big Fool had never expected his boss to be so shameless. He cursed furiously, then suddenly thought of something and asked with a worried expression, "A'min, then where did the money for your mother's treatment come from?"

"..."

A'min's expression changed slightly. In the end, she briefly told Big Fool about how she had gone into the trade to earn money, and how she had later become Dai Changsheng's canary.

After hearing about everything A'min had gone through during this period, Big Fool had no intention of blaming her. He only felt that he was a useless father, that he had dragged her into selling herself for money. His heart was filled only with guilt and self-reproach.

"A'min, how does Boss Dai treat you? Has he bullied you?"

"Dad, don't worry. Boss Dai is a very good person."

Facing Big Fool's concerned gaze, A'min smiled and reassured him, "Boss Dai is about the same age as me, and he promised to give me 30,000 Hong Kong Dollars in spending money every month. He was the one who paid for Mom's treatment.

The reason your sentence was reduced in prison, and the reason I was able to visit you today, were both because Boss Dai asked someone to help."

"So that's how it is. That's good, that's good."

Only then did Big Fool finally understand why he had been transferred to the lowest-risk cell and why his work assignments had become so much easier.

He had originally thought he was simply lucky. He had never expected it to be because of his precious daughter.

While A'min was catching up with Big Fool, Dai Changsheng was meeting a rather special prisoner in the Prison Warden's office.

That prisoner was named Xia Houwu. He had once been a disciple of Heyi Gate, a Foshan martial arts school. Half a year ago, he had been hired by the Hong Kong Island Police Force as a Martial Arts Instructor, but during a sparring match, he had accidentally beaten his opponent to death and was subsequently imprisoned.

Xia Houwu was the protagonist of The Unity of Heroes. Not only was he extremely skilled himself, but he was also very good at teaching others.

In the original story, Feng Yuxiu had become a top-tier martial arts master after studying martial arts under Xia Houwu's guidance for less than three years.

If Xia Houwu were willing to join Golden Eagle Security Company, then under his instruction, the combat abilities of those retired veterans would definitely rise to another level.

Since Xia Houwu was not alone in the world and had a childhood sweetheart, his Junior Sister, waiting for him outside, he quickly agreed to Dai Changsheng's terms.

As long as Dai Changsheng could get him out of prison, Xia Houwu would serve as an instructor at Golden Eagle Security Company and teach every martial art he knew to the company's other guards without reservation.

After negotiating with Xia Houwu, Dai Changsheng immediately contacted Lawyer Zhang and told him to find a way to get Xia Houwu out as quickly as possible.

After a series of underhanded maneuvers, Lawyer Zhang soon got Xia Houwu out of prison under the pretext of Medical Parole, making him Golden Eagle Security Company's Sixth Instructor.

Bloodbath Honghua Pavilion

Warm sunlight filtered through the French window and gently fell across A'min and Shalina's pretty faces. Their eyelashes trembled slightly as they woke from their dreams.

Dai Changsheng's stamina was simply too vigorous. Neither A'min nor Shalina could handle him alone, so the two women tacitly chose to join forces, becoming Good Sisters who had weathered the storm together.

"Up and down, left and right, front and back..."

Hearing Dai Changsheng's daily training slogan coming from outside the bedroom, the two women subconsciously swallowed, then secretly giggled foolishly.

Ever since Dai Changsheng had learned from Killer Xiong how to train in the Turning Gun Technique, he had set aside several hours every day to practice.

Perhaps Dai Changsheng was Gifted, or perhaps his Comprehension was simply high. After just one week of training, he had begun to see results.

Though Dai Changsheng still could not yet hit whatever he pointed at, he could already lift a 20-kilogram Dumbbell without using his hands.

"We interrupt with Breaking News. An explosion occurred at Property Group's Galaxy Mall half an hour ago. It is suspected to have been a Terrorist Attack..."

While Dai Changsheng trained in the Turning Gun Technique and watched television, the program was suddenly interrupted by news of the mall explosion.

Shalina, who had just walked out of the bedroom, saw two familiar figures in the Live Broadcast footage and could not help saying in surprise, "Huh? Isn't that Chan Ka Kui and Amei?"

A'min, dressed in black lace pajamas, instinctively asked, "Sister Na, do you know someone there?"

"That Big Nose Cop is Chan Ka Kui. When I was a Witness before, he was assigned to protect me for a while."

Shalina sat down beside Dai Changsheng and pointed at the two figures on the television. "The beauty beside Chan Ka Kui in the Pink Dress is Amei, his Girlfriend. The two of us can be considered friends as well~"

"Oh, so that's how it is!"

A'min nodded in realization, then sat down on Dai Changsheng's other side. Her Willow Eyebrows furrowed slightly as she said, "I wonder who would be bold enough to use a Bomb on a mall. That already counts as a Terrorist Attack, doesn't it?"

"I don't know whether they're bold or not, but I'm certain they don't have much brains. After pulling something like this, neither the Underworld nor the Police will let them off."

Dai Changsheng wrapped his arms around the two women's Slender Waists, a trace of disdain flashing through his eyes.

After all, bombing a mall was simply too vile. It not only ground the police's dignity into the dirt, but also seriously endangered the safety of other residents.

When they had nothing to do, even the heads of the triads would take their women shopping at malls. No one wanted to be inexplicably blown to death by a Bomb while out shopping.

Therefore, the police and the major triads would definitely work together to root out those audacious bastards. Otherwise, no one would dare go shopping anymore.

If Dai Changsheng remembered correctly, this mall bombing was the case from Police Story 2.

Since the plot of the second film had already begun, the plot of the third film should be starting soon as well. Before long, Dai Changsheng would be able to pick up another 330 million US dollars for free.

However, this mall bombing also reminded Dai Changsheng just how dangerous Hong Kong Film World was. Even with Li Jie and the others acting as his personal bodyguards, he still had to be more cautious in his daily affairs.

He also needed to stockpile some weapons for self-defense. He did not need to use such things when they were unnecessary, but he could not be without them when they were needed.

If fully armed criminals wanted to kidnap Dai Changsheng, he could not exactly expect Li Jie and the others to fight them barehanded, could he?

No matter how skilled Li Jie and the others were, flesh and blood were still far too fragile before guns and artillery.

A dark and windy night was perfect for murder and arson.

In a deserted stretch of sea, two speedboats slowly approached each other. More than a dozen figures emerged from them and carried out an illicit arms transaction.

The deal was completed quickly, and the two speedboats left at top speed, unnoticed by anyone.

One of the speedboats made a large circle across the sea before finally stopping beside a secluded beach.

The black-clad man in the lead jumped off the speedboat first and gestured to his subordinates, telling them to carry down the crates full of weapons and transfer them into an underground secret room in a nearby warehouse.

Once all the weapons had been moved, the leading man in black removed his hood, revealing a somewhat vicious face. He was Wang Jianjun, who bore a striking resemblance to Chang Wei.

"Boss, the job is done."

Wang Jianjun immediately made a call and reported the situation to Dai Changsheng.

"Mm! Well done. You've worked hard."

Supporting Shalina's Slender Waist with one hand, Dai Changsheng said without changing expression, "Tell the brothers that once they return from the job, everyone gets an extra 10,000 Hong Kong Dollars as a bonus."

"Thank you, Boss."

Wang Jianjun's eyes lit up, and he thanked him repeatedly.

"No need to be polite. I've always been fair with rewards and punishments. You've earned it. I'm hanging up now!"

Hearing Dai Changsheng's words, A'min, who was helping hold the phone, promptly ended the call.

Dai Changsheng, who was enjoying a ride, narrowed his pitch-black eyes slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Because the mall bombing had happened that morning, the more well-known arms dealers on Hong Kong Island had temporarily stopped conducting arms deals, lest they become targets for the police to vent their anger on.

But as the saying went, people die for wealth, and birds die for food!

Faced with business delivered right to their doors, some smaller arms dealers were still willing to take the risk.

The person who had traded with Wang Jianjun and his men this time was an arms dealer named He Shichang.

He Shichang was not only a trusted confidant of Uncle Dong, the head of Quanxing Society, but also the main villain of Bloodbath Honghua Pavilion.

Quanxing Society was a second-rate triad, but it still had several thousand members under its banner.

In recent years, Uncle Dong had wanted to legitimize Quanxing Society, gradually shutting down the triad's illicit businesses. This had caused great dissatisfaction among many people.

Not long ago, Uncle Dong had been imprisoned over an incident, and his position had been handed over to his daughter, Wang Fengyi.

Unfortunately, Wang Fengyi was a naive young heiress who had never dealt with triad affairs before. The moment she became Quanxing Society's nominal leader, she wanted to completely ban all of the triad's illicit businesses.

Those leaders who made their living through illicit business naturally would not accept such a naive demand. They secretly colluded with one another, openly agreeing while covertly defying Wang Fengyi.

According to the original plot, Wang Fengyi would soon discover evidence that He Shichang was secretly dealing arms. Yet not only would she fail to bring him to justice, she would be forcibly violated by him and filmed.

Hero Saves the Beauty

Under He Shichang's threats and coercion, Wang Fengyi became his puppet, helping him indirectly take control of Quanxing Society.

Although Dai Changsheng already had Jimmy Boy as a front man, he did not mind having another pair of hands.

Moreover, Wang Fengyi was played by Xiaoqian. In real life, she looked at least ninety percent similar to Xiaoqian.

Rather than letting that bastard He Shichang have her for nothing, Dai Changsheng might as well play the hero saving the beauty and seize the chance to win her heart!

Tsim Sha Tsui, Anti-Triad Unit, Chief's Office.

At that moment, the head of the Anti-Triad Unit, Lu Jianda, was flipping through the documents before him with a deeply troubled expression.

Ever since Lu Jianda had personally arrested Uncle Dong and sent him to prison more than half a month ago, the relationship between him and his Girlfriend, Wang Fengyi, had dropped to freezing point.

Especially after Wang Fengyi took over Quanxing Society and became its nominal leader, Lu Jianda's position within the police station had become exceptionally awkward.

Not only did other officers suspect that Lu Jianda would show favoritism in matters concerning Quanxing Society, but even his superior had specifically summoned him for a reprimand, telling him to break up with Wang Fengyi as soon as possible so that she would not ruin his future.

That was why Lu Jianda was so distressed. He did not want to give up his future, but neither did he want to give up his beautiful Girlfriend.

Knock, knock, knock...

A sudden knock on the door interrupted Lu Jianda's thoughts. A beautiful policewoman in a black uniform then pushed open the office door, walked in, and handed him a letter. "Chief, you have a letter."

"All right, I know. You can leave first!"

After the policewoman left, Lu Jianda opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.

After reading the contents of the letter, Lu Jianda felt a ball of fury with nowhere to vent.

It was an anonymous tip accusing He Shichang of arms trafficking. Although it contained no concrete evidence, it was detailed and convincing, clearly not something fabricated out of thin air.

Lu Jianda immediately called Wang Fengyi to his office and gave her a vicious scolding, telling her to either give up Quanxing Society's business or keep her subordinates under control.

Having arrived at the police station full of anger, Wang Fengyi stormed into Jin Xing International Company and began searching for evidence of He Shichang's arms trafficking.

At the same time, in the company's meeting room, a well-dressed He Shichang was discussing business with Dai Changsheng with a fawning smile.

He Shichang acted so obsequiously before Dai Changsheng because Dai Changsheng intended to acquire Jin Xing International Company at a high price.

Jin Xing International Company was not worth much to begin with. It had actually been established by Uncle Dong to legitimize his operations, and the entire company was worth only around 30 million Hong Kong Dollars.

Although Jin Xing International Company could earn two or three million Hong Kong Dollars each year, that was insignificant compared with the speed at which arms trafficking brought in money.

If Dai Changsheng was truly willing to spend tens of millions of Hong Kong Dollars to purchase Jin Xing International Company outright, He Shichang could use that money to buy more weapons. Perhaps his net worth would exceed a hundred million before long.

Knock, knock, knock...

A hurried knock suddenly sounded. A beautiful secretary in a black office outfit quickly entered the meeting room, walked to He Shichang's side, and whispered into his ear.

Upon learning that Wang Fengyi had forcibly entered his office and was rummaging through everything inside, He Shichang's expression shifted slightly.

"Mr. Dai, I have some personal matters to handle. Please wait here for a moment."

Halfway through speaking, He Shichang turned to the beautiful secretary beside him and said, "Aida, bring some coffee over. Make sure Mr. Dai and his people are properly looked after."

"Yes, General Manager."
