Fok's Bank's Fok Siu Tong

Life in Stanley Prison remained the same, with each day essentially following a rigid three-point routine.

Working, finishing work, eating, washing up, sleeping.

It was monotonous and uneventful.

Only occasionally would conflicts erupt between inmates in certain cells or between gang members.

In the bathhouse, the restrooms, or in dimly lit corners.

One could always hear hushed, angry arguments or the sounds of fighting.

However, Song Ren's cell had become much quieter for various reasons.

A new guy had joined their cell, a gang member.

He had no background, so he was naturally ordered around by Fierce Ghost's subordinates.

A Hu would also occasionally join in, bullying the newcomer to pass the boring time during his sentence.

In contrast to this new inmate's situation, Chen Jia Le, who also had no background in Stanley Prison and appeared the most vulnerable, was not targeted by others.

This guy seemed timid and fearful, but he was very perceptive.

He had long recognized the situation he needed to navigate and spent his days fawning over Song Ren.

Bringing him tea, serving him food, tidying his bed.

He acted like a loyal servant from ancient times, making Song Ren feel somewhat awkward.

He had reminded him several times: "A Le, you don't need to put yourself in such a low position."

But A Le seemed content with it. His timid demeanor was merely a protective shell.

He was sharp-minded and had a clear understanding of himself.

In Stanley Prison, with his refined physique, he had to cling to someone powerful to avoid being bullied.

And Song Ren was currently the most feared figure in the entire prison block.

Living in the same cell, after a brief period of interaction, he sensed the reserved nature of Song Ren's personality.

So, he had early on adopted the posture of Song Ren's loyal subordinate. To solidify this image, he kept his demeanor extremely humble.

However, this behavior wasn't deliberately put on for Song Ren; it was for others to see.

This way, those people wouldn't cause him trouble.

The only regret was that Brother Ren's sentence was too short.

Although thinking this was somewhat ungracious, he wished Brother Ren had a life sentence like himself...

He knew that Brother Ren understood him, as he had never said anything or made things difficult for him like others had.

Therefore, he was even more grateful for this unspoken protection and naturally became Song Ren's devoted subordinate.

At the prison cafeteria during lunch.

A Le returned with the food and placed a tray in front of Song Ren, asking proactively:

"Brother Ren, what are you thinking about? You seem lost in thought."

"Nothing," Song Ren just smiled and didn't say more.

It was almost the end of the month, and Song Ren was considering how to deal with A Ji from Zhong Yi Xin. He couldn't let A Ji leave first.

However, Zhong Yi Xin's members had been much more restrained recently.

Killer A Ji, possibly due to his impending release, hadn't bothered him, which also meant he had no excuse to make a move.

Initiating trouble versus having trouble initiated against you resulted in vastly different punishments.

Song Ren had expected the other party to become restless, but seeing that their sentence was about to end with no action had disappointed him somewhat.

"A Ren."

"Brother Ren."

"Brother Ren."

Fierce Ghost sat down opposite them with two subordinates. After greeting them, he leaned closer and said in a low voice:

"A Ren, tell A Le to be careful recently. Someone in the prison block has spread rumors about a bounty on him; it seems someone wants to get him."

A Le had overheard a bit and was slightly stunned, then forced a smile, "Don't joke, Brother Ghost. I only know you guys in Stanley Prison."

Yau Kong Ngau returned with his food and sat down next to Song Ren: "Brother Ren, is something wrong?"

Song Ren nodded at him, then turned to ask, "A Le, did you offend someone?"

A Le's expression turned a little grim. After thinking, he shook his head:

"No, I've been following you, Brother Ren, these days. I'm very careful. No one bullies me, and I never provoke anyone."

Song Ren took a bite of his bun, "Hmm, then it seems the trouble might be from outside. They might have tracked you here."

"..." A Le's face lost more color.

Yau Kong Ngau seemed to understand and inquired, "A Le, who did you offend outside? They're still after you even with a life sentence?"

A Lok's expression shifted between emotions, and after a long moment, he gritted his teeth and uttered a name: "Fok Siu Tong!"

Crash!

Yau Kong Ngau shot to his feet. For the first time in front of Song Ren, the usually calm man revealed a volatile temper.

His pupils seemed filled with frost. "Who?"

A Lok was also taken aback. Is he asking who I offended? Or who offended you? Why such a strong reaction?

Still, he answered truthfully, "It's Fok Siu Tong, the chairman of Fok's Bank."

Song Ren noticed Yau Kong Ngau's exceptionally intense reaction to the name. His knuckles turned white as he clenched his fists, his eyes burning with rage.

He recalled the story of Raging Fire Case and then it clicked.

The incident that led to Yau Kong Ngau's team, former elites of the Serious Crimes Unit, being charged with torture and manslaughter was the kidnapping of Fok Siu Tong.

At the time, due to Fok Siu Tong's status as a wealthy tycoon, the social impact was immense.

His superiors constantly pressured the entire team, even hinting that they could loosen their reins.

As a result, Yau Kong Ngau's elite team subjected Cola, one of the suspects in Fok Siu Tong's kidnapping, to severe interrogation.

They ended up accidentally killing the suspect, Cola.

This outcome was highly problematic.

However, they did manage to obtain crucial leads from Cola in the shortest possible time, which ultimately led another police team to successfully rescue Fok Siu Tong.

But afterward, Cola's associates sued all the police officers involved that night.

Because the incident was exposed and its nature was extremely serious, the superior who had promised to take responsibility for them directly denied everything, his promises as worthless as farts.

Even the rescued Fok Siu Tong made sarcastic remarks in court.

The wealthy tycoon Fok Siu Tong's behavior at the time was truly mean-spirited and ungrateful, which dealt the heaviest blow to this team of Serious Crimes Unit elites.

After all, Fok Siu Tong had immense social influence; if he had advocated for their help, Yau Kong Ngau's team of police elites wouldn't have ended up in such a predicament.

This was why Yau Kong Ngau had such a strong, reactive response to the name.

For the past few years, life in Stanley Prison had been much more bearable since Song Ren's arrival.

At other times, especially when he first entered, he was practically tortured to the point where life was worse than death.

It allowed the hatred in his heart to continuously accumulate and suppress.

He wanted revenge, a furious, all-consuming revenge!
