【037】Ya Zi: You brat, you're so mean!
"Mr. Lin has a good eye for people. Actually, what I like most is money."
After saying that, Chung Chu-hsiung continued, "Mr. Lin, what do you want me to do? Just tell me, and I'll do whatever it takes to help."
At this moment, Chung Cho-hung's mind was filled with the two boxes of Hong Kong dollars he had just received; he had never seen so much money in his life.
"Mr. Zhong, does that mean you're planning to be friends with me?"
Lin Haowen's expression was a half-smile.
"Mr. Lin, you're mistaken. Aren't we already friends?"
Chung Chu-hsiung immediately retorted with a serious expression.
"Haha, Ah Xiong, you're right. We're friends now. So, as your friend, I can't be stingy. Put all your expenses at the Golden Wind Nightclub on my tab tonight."
Lin Haowen laughed heartily.
"Lin... Brother Wen, friends should help each other. What do you want me to do for you?"
Chung Chu-hsiung still retained a sliver of reason, knowing that there's no such thing as a free lunch.
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for my friend. You can have a good time tonight. I'll contact you when I need your help."
Lin Haowen did not trust Zhong Chuxiong.
"Brother Wen..."
Zhong Chuxiong was about to speak when Lin Haowen interrupted him, "Chuxiong, you won't even give me face if I invite you to play? Are you afraid I'll harm you?"
"No, Brother Wen, you've misunderstood me. I'm going to play now."
When Lin Haowen swept his gaze over him, Zhong Chuxiong felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that the wealthy man in front of him was already displeased. He could only look reluctantly at the two boxes of money on the coffee table before leaving the private room, turning back to look at them every step of the way.
"This guy is incredibly greedy. He immediately chickened out when the meeting fee was reduced to 50,000 yuan."
After Chung Chu-hsiung left, Huang Da-wen said calmly.
"It's good to be greedy. Compared to other people, I like people who are greedy for money."
Lin Haowen didn't say the second half of his sentence. To deal with this kind of person, you only need to remember one thing: money is for them to see, not for them to spend.
As long as you keep these kinds of people lured along with money, they will gradually lower their standards and eventually become mere tools.
……
On the other side, a Bentley was parked in front of a bar on Bower Lane.
"Brother Zu, didn't we say we were going to test Lin Haowen's mettle first? Why are we suddenly meeting with the Dongxing people?"
Mona frowned and asked.
"We need to have a backup plan. If Lin Haowen is worth cooperating with and is willing to cooperate with us, we can naturally bring him in to balance Lian Haolong and Zhu Tao, but..."
A cold glint flashed in Liu Yaozu's eyes. "If this guy isn't up to par, or if he has other intentions, then we'll have to get rid of this trouble."
Lin Haowen has had such a big falling out with Dongxing. Instead of us going through the trouble of dealing with him, why don't we sell him to Dongxing? That way, we can get in touch with Dongxing and squeeze every last bit of value out of this guy…”
At this point, Liu Yaozu's tone became more sinister, "A nobody like Lin Haowen dares to come to me demanding a debt. If I don't kill him, where will my reputation be?"
After hearing Liu Yaozu's words, Mengna silently mourned for Lin Haowen in her heart.
As Liu Yaozu's wife, she knew all too well how much this man, who came from a family of live-in sons-in-law, valued his reputation, and that he absolutely could not tolerate anyone looking down on him.
This is also human nature: the more we lack something, the more we want it, and the more sensitive we are to it.
"Do your best later."
After venting his frustrations, Liu Yaozu straightened his tie, gave Mengna a few words of advice, opened the car door, and headed towards a nearby bar.
Looking at Liu Yaozu's back, a trace of sorrow flashed in Mengna's eyes. After letting out a soft sigh, she opened the car door and followed behind Liu Yaozu.
……
The next day, at noon.
"Brother Wen, we've already got our eyes on Liu Yaozu..."
Lin Haowen was listening to Tian Yangsheng's report.
Ring ring ring~
A cell phone rang.
"Ah Sheng, we'll talk about it later."
Lin Haowen hung up the phone, then picked up his ringing cell phone and pressed the answer button.
Only Yako knew the phone number, and the fact that Yako dialed it meant that she must have something important to tell her.
"Are you free now? I'll be waiting for you at my usual spot in the underground parking lot of The One Mall."
Sure enough, as soon as the call connected, Yako's voice came through the receiver.
"Okay, I'll be there in a bit."
Lin Haowen agreed.
After half an hour.
Lam Ho-man got into a black Toyota sedan that was the most inconspicuous on Hong Kong Island.
"Ya Zi, how come such a beautiful and radiant woman like you, like Lao Huang, prefers to talk about things in such shady places? Can't we bask in the sunlight together?"
Lin Haowen looked at Ya Zi sitting in the driver's seat and joked with a smile.
"How about I invite you to my office to discuss something?"
Ya Zi rolled her eyes dramatically.
"If you dare to ask, I dare to go."
Lin Haowen smiled and shrugged.
Ya Zi glared at Lin Haowen: "I'm not in the mood for jokes right now. The O-Team's informant in Tung Sing reported that Liu Yaozu met with Lei Yaoyang last night and they talked for over an hour."
"The money of the Tung Sing members is all laundered by a few big-time swindlers. Lei Yaoyang and Liu Yaozu have never had any interaction. This time, the two of them suddenly met..."
At this point, Yako's expression turned serious. "It's most likely because of you!"
"Wow, this Liu Yaozu, not only does he not want to pay his debts, but he also conspired with the Dongxing gang to frame me! He deserves to die!"
Lin Haowen shook his head and smiled.
"Hey, you're still laughing at a time like this? Liu Yaozu has been very successful these past few years, and he's even gotten involved with some local councilors. If he collaborates with Tung Sing, you'll be in big trouble!"
Seeing that Lin Haowen didn't seem to care at all, Ya Zi became a little anxious.
After becoming Lin Haowen's contact person, she also learned about Lin Haowen's experiences. Ya Zi felt sorry for this old classmate and didn't want to see anything happen to Lin Haowen.
"What should I do then?"
Lin Haowen deliberately teased his old classmate.
"Don't contact Liu Yaozu for now. Forget about the 15 million. His business is shady. As long as you don't go to him, he shouldn't make a move on you."
Ya Zi looked very serious.
"Hmm, that's a good suggestion, but I have a better idea."
Lin Haowen said slowly.
"What idea? Tell me quickly!"
Ya Zi immediately asked.
"Yako, have you forgotten your job as a waitress again?"
Lin Haowen joked in a serious tone.
"What waiter? I'm your superior!"
Seeing Lin Haowen's smug smile, Ya Zi immediately realized she had been tricked. She was instantly furious and pinched the soft flesh on Lin Haowen's waist, twisting it forcefully.
'Hiss~'
Lin Haowen gasped, "Damn, Ya Zi, I almost died in the line of duty just now."
"You tricked me!"
Ya Zi glared at Lin Haowen, but then her expression turned extremely serious. "Awen, if you really have a plan, tell me, and I can help you."
"Ya Zi, I told you before, there are some things I can handle on my own."
Lin Haowen was also looking at Ya Zi with a serious expression.
"You... Hmph, whatever!"
Ya Zi turned her head away angrily, but quickly turned back to look at Lin Haowen, and said with a casual hum, "You be careful."
"Um."
Lin Haowen smiled and nodded, then pushed open the door and left.
As if realizing something, Yako quickly cautioned, "Don't make a big fuss!"
Lin Haowen didn't turn around, but simply made an "OK" sign with his hand.
"Why are you acting so mysterious, you brat? You're so naughty!"
Ya Zi punched Lin Haowen's back hard, venting her dissatisfaction.
A few minutes later.
Lin Haowen drove out of the mall parking lot, took out his phone, and dialed a number.
"Ah Sheng, I'll be waiting for you at Kowloon City Plaza later. There's something I need to tell you in person."
Since Liu Yaozu is so eager to die, let's grant his wish.
