Chapter 575: Chapter 575: Storms and Changes
Housekeeper Hong, Jin Yanghong, and He Jiancheng sat down on the sofa.
Jin Yanghong personally brewed tea for Housekeeper Hong and treated him like an honored guest: “Housekeeper Hong, have some tea.”
Housekeeper Hong nodded slightly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, saying, “This Da Hong Pao has a nice flavor.”
“As long as Housekeeper Hong likes it,” Jin Yanghong responded with a smile.
Then, Jin Yanghong looked at Housekeeper Hong, who was drinking tea, and asked, “Housekeeper Hong, what important matter brings you to the Jin family today?”
Housekeeper Hong placed the tea cup on the table, coughed dryly, and said, “Today, I come to see President Jin because our Young Master Jiang has a favor to ask of him.”
Jin Yanghong quickly asked, “Housekeeper Hong, whatever Young Master Jiang instructs, please feel free to ask.”
“Young Master Jiang wants the Bamboo Green Association to help find someone. This person is named Lin Fei.” Housekeeper Hong looked at Jin Yanghong and said word by word: “This person is about twenty years old and disrupted Young Master Jiang’s plans.”
Upon hearing this, Jin Yanghong and He Jiancheng exchanged a glance, a sly and pleased expression flickered in their eyes.
They had guessed correctly that Jiang Yi had sent people to follow Lin Fei because Lin Fei had interrupted Jiang Yi’s plans.
Although they did not know what plans of Jiang Yi’s Lin Fei had thwarted, it was significant enough for Jiang Yi to personally ask Housekeeper Hong to have Bamboo Green Association help find him.
It can be seen that Lin Fei must have angered Jiang Yi.
“Housekeeper Hong, as it happens, we are also looking for this Lin Fei.” Jin Yanghong’s face showed a trace of anger: “Several days ago, this young man caused a commotion at my Bamboo Green Manor, not only injuring my son but also my subordinate Li Hu and many other brothers.”
Housekeeper Hong couldn’t help but direct his gaze towards Jin Shaobo, whose hands and feet were still bandaged on the sofa, and the dispirited Li Hu.
“President Jin, it seems Lin Fei has angered quite a few big figures,” Housekeeper Hong said with a sarcastic tone.
Jin Yanghong said, “It’s just that the kid is too slippery, he even managed to evade the surveillance and disappeared.”
“President Jin, you have a vast network in Hong Kong, with many informants, and yet you can’t find him?” Housekeeper Hong asked Jin Yanghong.
“Housekeeper Hong, although the Bamboo Green Association has some influence in Hong Kong, we are not the only ones in power, there are also Xiangjiang Association and East River Association.
If this young man is hiding within the territories of Xiangjiang Association and East River Association, then it would be difficult for us to find him,” Jin Yanghong said to Housekeeper Hong with concern.
However, Housekeeper Hong laughed and said, “Hahaha, President Jin, don’t worry. Before coming to the Bamboo Green Association, I have met with the presidents of Xiangjiang Association and East River Association.
The two presidents have expressed that they will spare no effort in helping Young Master Jiang locate this Lin Fei.”
Jin Yanghong’s eyes lit up: “Since Xiangjiang Association and East River Association have agreed to help find Lin Fei, then our Bamboo Green Association will also do its utmost to find this Lin Fei.”
“Good, with President Jin’s words, I can report back to Young Master Jiang without concern.” Housekeeper Hong said with satisfaction.
Jin Yanghong and He Jiancheng accompanied Housekeeper Hong for tea and some idle chatter.
Housekeeper Hong got up to leave, saying: “President Jin, Mr. He, I’ve conveyed Young Master Jiang’s matters. I should return to report to him.”
“Housekeeper Hong, let’s see you off.” Jin Yanghong promptly said politely.
Housekeeper Hong left the villa with Jin Yanghong and He Jiancheng seeing him off.
In a hotel room in Hong Kong.
Lin Fei and Leng Ying sat on the sofa.
Lin Fei looked at Leng Ying and said, “Leng Ying, tell me, what have you found in Hong Kong these days?”
Lin Fei knew that Leng Ying, who had battled on the Middle Eastern deathly battlefield and survived, was not only recognized for his exceptional skills but was also adept at collecting enemy intelligence.
“There are three major black forces in Hong Kong: Bamboo Green Association, Xiangjiang Association, East River Association.” Leng Ying followed by detailing the information he had gathered over the past few days: “Of the three major black forces, Bamboo Green Association is the largest, Xiangjiang Association and East River Association are about equal.”
“Bamboo Green Association has close ties with the wealthy He family and several other affluent families. Behind Xiangjiang Association and East River Association are also wealthy families supporting them.”
“Among the affluent families in Hong Kong, only the richest Guan family does not have a deep connection with the black forces; it seems they have something to rely on. Furthermore, although Hong Kong has three major black forces, there is one person who can command them, making them follow suit.”
Lin Fei couldn’t help but feel curious and asked, “Who is this person who can command the three major black forces in Hong Kong?”
“Hong Kong’s number one young master, Jiang Yi,” Leng Ying said.
Lin Fei furrowed his brow: “Is it him?”
“Does it mean today we’ve offended the number one young master in Hong Kong?”
“Lin Fei, I couldn’t foresee it was Jiang Yi but when I realized, it was already too late to warn you,” Leng Ying said apologetically.
When Lin Fei acted to save Li Xuechun, Leng Ying didn’t know that the person trying to take advantage of her after getting her drunk was Jiang Yi.
Once he discovered it was Jiang Yi, there was no longer any use in attempting to caution Lin Fei.
Lin Fei, however, appeared calm and said, “So what if we’ve offended Hong Kong’s number one young master? Just because of his status, should I stand aside and not save a life?”
Leng Ying agreed, “Lin Fei, you’re right, even if Jiang Yi is Hong Kong’s number one young master, why should we bother with such a despicable and shameless person?”
“Leng Ying, tell me how he earned this title of Hong Kong’s number one young master?” Lin Fei curiously asked.
Leng Ying grew serious and said, “Jiang Yi, earned the title of Hong Kong’s number one young master not only because of his own powerful strength but more importantly, because his father is the first Martial King in Hong Kong in a century.”
Lin Fei furrowed his brow: “Martial King! Who would have thought Hong Kong has a Martial King level expert hidden away? It really is a famous city with hidden talents.”
A Martial King is a formidable existence above Grandmaster level strength.
A Martial King’s Inner Qi can form a sharp Qi Blade, even the highest-ranked Ninth Layer of Grandmaster strength would be easily shattered under the Martial King’s Qi Blade, rendering it ineffective.
Against a Martial King’s Qi Blade, killing from a distance and wielding the blade as a deadly weapon are no longer fantasies.
In the Martial World, a Martial King can be rightfully called a king, showing how powerful they are.
However, Lin Fei knows that Hong Kong has always been a place fostering martial arts and its traditions are deep-rooted, so it’s normal for a strong figure like a Martial King to emerge.
But this Martial King is Jiang Yi’s father, and the conflict between him and Jiang Yi is irreconcilable.
It seems that he will inevitably face a confrontation with this once-in-a-century Martial King.
Yet Lin Fei remains unafraid.
In this world, reasoning is preferable, but if reasoning fails, then strength will determine the outcome.
“Also, today I found out that Jiang Yi has sent his housekeeper to ask Xiangjiang Association and East River Association to help search for you.” At this point, Leng Ying shared the information he had gathered today.
Lin Fei gazing out at Hong Kong’s tumultuous sky calmly said after a long moment, “What must happen will happen, so let the storm come with greater intensity!”
