Feng Shui Secrets of the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 529 The Underground Godfather 2

"Is that awesome?"

"Lin the Fat Man muttered to himself."

We only knew that Hong Taidi was awesome, but we didn't know exactly how awesome he was. But after what Fourth Wife said, we understood.

"That's how awesome he is, so I'm telling you, don't make any rash moves. He's here to see you, so just focus on his health. Delay everything else if you can!" Fourth Wife said.

"Okay, we understand!" Fatty Lin nodded.

Half an hour later, Hong Taidi arrived.

To our surprise, he didn't disturb anyone except for Wen Haichao. There was no pomp or circumstance, and he drove himself there.

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of me, wearing a slightly worn jacket, with half-gray hair and a hunched back, I simply couldn't believe that this was the same Hung Tai-di who once dominated Hong Kong Island and was feared by both the underworld and the legitimate world.

If I met him on the street, I would only think of him as a middle-aged man who has been worn down by life, has little hope for the future, and is just gritting his teeth and enduring to survive.

"Masters, we apologize for our intrusion!"

When the three of us came out to greet him, Hong Taidi lowered his head slightly, his eyes showing no trace of the arrogance and domineering nature of a gangster boss.

"Teddy Brother Bar, please come in!"

Fatty Lin was the first to react and invited Hong Taidi inside.

"good!"

Hong Taidi forced a smile and followed us inside.

"Tide, let's go!"

After taking a step, Fatty Lin paused, turned around, and gestured to Wen Haichao, who was still standing in the same spot.

"Brother Zai, I have an appointment for a spa, so I won't be going in!" Wen Haichao's eyes revealed a hint of caution and fear.

This was just an excuse; anyone with eyes could see that Wen Haichao was afraid of Hong Taidi.

Fatty Lin thought for a moment, then didn't insist. He patted Wen Haichao's arm and said, "Okay, I'll ask you out tomorrow!"

"Um!"

Wen Haichao nodded, turned around and left without the slightest hesitation, as if we were in a pit of fire.

"interesting!"

I smiled.

"Chirp!"

Turning around and going upstairs, after only a couple of steps, Xiao Ba carefully crawled out, nudged Hong Taidi in front of him with his mouth, and whispered a sound, his little eyes full of seriousness.

Seeing Xiao Ba like this, I knew that Hong Taidi was in trouble, and it wasn't just any ordinary trouble.

Upon arriving on the third floor and taking a seat, Fatty Lin said, "Brother Teddy..."

After calling him that, Fatty Lin smiled and said, "Is it okay if I call you Teddy Bro?"

"A name is just a title. Master Lin can call me whatever he wants!" Hong Taidi put himself very humble.

"Brother Teddy, I didn't know you came here this time to see us..."

Fatty Lin asked tentatively.

Hong Taidi showed no anger at Lin Pangzi's slightly scrutinizing gaze. Instead, he bowed slightly and said, "I know the three of you are highly skilled individuals. I am aware of what you have done over the past two years, especially breaking the Yu family's century-old curse and resolving the Yu Yuan's vengeful spirit!"

"Brother Teddy, have you investigated us?" Fatty Lin's face darkened.

"It's been investigated!"

Hong Taidi nodded and said frankly, "I not only investigated, but I also know about your conflict with the Xuanmen Association, and I know that the cause of your conflict is the entertainment industry. As for the deeper reason, it's the Five Fiends' chaos in Hong Kong!"

When he mentioned "the Five Fiends who disrupted Hong Kong," the expressions of the three of us changed simultaneously.

"Masters, given my position on Hong Kong Island, is it strange that I know about the Five Fiends causing chaos in Hong Kong?"

Noticing our surprise, Hong Taidi asked calmly.

"Brother Teddy, since you know about the Five Fiends causing chaos in Hong Kong, you must have consulted many masters, right?" Fatty Lin asked.

"right!"

Hong Taidi remained silent for a long time, then slowly exhaled and said, "I've committed too many sins in my life. In the first half of my life, I sold noodles, ran an underground casino, and indulged in women. I don't even know how many people I've harmed, how many families I've destroyed, or how much resentment I've accumulated!"

He paused at this point, then said, "That's why my retribution has never stopped over the years."

"Especially after I was released from prison, I heard ghostly wails every night. Whether I opened my eyes or closed them, all I could hear was them demanding my life. Don't laugh at me, my three masters, but for a long time, I dared not look in the mirror!"

"Insomnia is a regular occurrence for me. It's not that I don't want to sleep, but that I'm afraid to sleep. Every time I fall asleep, I'm inevitably haunted by sleep paralysis!"

"I've searched all over Hong Kong Island and Macau for renowned sorcerers, and I've also consulted many sorcerers in Southeast Asia, but no one dared to take on my divination, and no one could solve it!"

At this point, the underground godfather's voice trembled slightly.

"I know my sins are too great, but I can't bear it anymore!"

As Hong Taidi spoke, he looked at us, his eyes almost overflowing with pleading. "I have come here today only to ask the three masters for their mercy and to help me resolve the evil spirits that are afflicting me."

We didn't react much, we just looked at him indifferently.

Hong Taidi gritted his teeth and said, "As long as the three of you are willing to help, I will offer up all my connections, industry resources, and information channels in Hong Kong and Macau, at your beck and call. Name your fee and conditions; I will not object to anything I can do."

The fact that this former underground godfather of Hong Kong could say such a thing can only mean one thing: he had been driven to the brink of despair.

"Brother Teddy, some things can't be done just because we agree!" Fatty Lin said after a moment of contemplation.

"You guys want to resolve the Five Fiends' chaos in Hong Kong, right? In a way, I'm also a kind of fiend!" Hung Tai-di said somewhat anxiously.

"Teddy, it seems you know a lot!"

This is the second time that Hung Tai-di has mentioned the "Five Fiends" causing chaos in Hong Kong.

"My three masters, you have no idea how many masters I've consulted over the years!"

Hong Taidi sighed and said, "Actually, I've been watching you ever since you broke the Yu family's century-old curse!"

"For so many years, I've been enduring, waiting for a glimmer of hope, and you've given me that hope!"

Hong Taidi was a little agitated. "Those tycoons on Hong Kong Island and the so-called masters in the Xuanmen Association are all harboring evil intentions. They know what the foreigners have done and they know about the Five Fiends' chaos in Hong Kong, but they're all pretending to be ignorant!"

"They won't act unless it's a matter of life and death!"

"Masters, take the Dragon-Locking Nail on Victoria Peak, for example. Do you really think you discovered it yourselves?"

"No, it's that those tycoons know that Hong Kong Island is their root. Once that vital energy is severed, they'll be like fish out of water, destined to die sooner or later!"

"But they didn't dare offend the foreigners and remove the Dragon-Slaying Nail themselves, so they let you discover all this and put you in charge of removing the Dragon-Slaying Nail!"

This statement is the same as what Zhuang Xuanji told us when we were dealing with the Windsor Building issue some time ago.

Nobody is a fool; everyone is smart.

Whether they are wealthy people or members of the Xuanmen Association, they are profiting from both sides.
