Chapter 61 Lan Mengxia's Scheme
"We've heard about this too!"
That feng shui battle was, strictly speaking, a three-way conflict involving Bank of China, HSBC, and Li Gua's Changfeng.
It's not surprising that Bank of China and HSBC are engaging in a feng shui battle, but the fact that HSBC, a foreign company, is also involved is truly astonishing. When did foreigners start believing in this stuff?
"So, according to you, the White Dragon King isn't that capable?" Fatty Lin said thoughtfully.
"It's not that they lack ability, but rather that they have bottom lines, or rather, they're timid and afraid of backlash, so they dare not handle many things!"
Lu Jingming took a sip of his drink and said, "Wang Sanmu is different. He'll do anything for money!"
After saying that, he seemed to remember something and laughed.
"What are you laughing at!"
Fatty Lin was completely baffled by the laughter, as was I.
"Jingzai, I'm not laughing at you. I just thought of some things and realized that those masters are no different from us ordinary people, or even worse. At least we dare to admit what we want, while they are hypocritical!" Lu Jingming said with emotion.
"I feel like you're alluding to me!"
"That's what Fatty Lin said."
"Jingzai, people might believe you're a thug, but would they believe you're a master?" Lu Jingming said with a sneer.
"roll!"
"Lin the Fat Man cursed."
After dinner, we were just about to go to a nightclub when Liu Mochou called and asked where we were. I said we were going to Lan Kwai Fong, and she said she was at a nightclub in Lan Kwai Fong and invited us over. She said that Fei Jie and Zeng Xiaowei were there, and she also had a new friend she wanted to introduce to me.
I put the call on speakerphone, and Lu Jingming kept pointing at himself while Lin Pangzi nodded.
"Great! I happen to have a friend I'd like to introduce you to!" I said.
"Okay, see you later!"
Liu Mochou laughed and hung up the phone.
"Introduce a friend, Fatty. Who do you think it could be?" I asked.
"I don't know, but Fatty and Zeng Xiaowei are both here. I guess that friend might be Brother Rong. What a bad banquet!" Fatty Lin said.
"Jingzi, Fengsheng, you two absolutely mustn't cause trouble. Brother Da Rong seems incredibly righteous on the surface, but he's actually ruthless. Make sure you agree to anything beforehand, and even if things turn sour, wait until you're back in Beijing!"
Lu Jingming was startled and quickly tried to dissuade him.
"We're not that stupid. Besides, when did we say we were going to turn against each other? Look at you, you don't have any guts. I'm asking you, are you coming with us or not?" Fatty Lin asked.
"Go, why wouldn't I go?" Lu Jingming said, sticking his neck out.
Half an hour later, in a private room on the second floor of a nightclub in Lan Kwai Fong, I met the new friend Liu Mochou had mentioned.
As expected, this new friend was none other than Brother Rong.
"I heard from Awei a couple of days ago that two masters had come from Beijing. I've been wanting to meet them for a long time, and I finally got to meet them today!"
After we met, Liu Mochou introduced us, and Rong Ge stood up and extended his hand to the two of us.
"Brother Rong!"
I smiled and shook hands with Brother Rong, as did Fatty Lin.
Compared to the two of us, Lü Jingming was much more humble, bowing and scraping.
As the illegitimate son of a concubine in the Lü family, he doesn't have the same confidence as the two of us.
Moreover, as a junket operator, the people he absolutely couldn't afford to offend were these triad bosses.
After sitting down, no one mentioned Lan Mengxia, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely.
The next morning, as usual, Sister Fei came to pick up my brother and me.
"Master Feng, you don't need to give Lan Mengxia acupuncture tomorrow!"
After getting on the bus, Sister Fei suddenly said this.
"Don't worry, I'll pay for it!"
After she finished speaking, she added another sentence.
"no problem!"
I readily agreed.
A wise person does not stand under a crumbling wall; this is Hong Kong Island, not Beijing.
My employer said I don't need acupuncture anymore, so there's no need for me to persist.
Even if we persisted, without Sister Liu, the two of us wouldn't have been able to knock on Lan Mengxia's door, let alone enter her home to give her acupuncture.
Just like the previous days, when I arrived at Lan Mengxia's house, she was already asleep.
I administered the injection as usual.
Half an hour later, the needle was removed, and the moment it was removed, Lan Mengxia opened her eyes.
I was a little surprised, but I didn't take it too seriously. With the treatment, Lan Mengxia's health improved, so it was normal for her to wake up early.
The next moment, Lan Mengxia suddenly sat up, put one arm around me, and placed the other hand on my chest to block Sister Liu's view. She quickly whispered in my ear, "Help me!"
The sound wasn't too loud or too soft; Sister Liu would definitely be able to hear it.
After saying that, she pushed me away again, shouting incoherently, "They've ruined me! They've ruined me!"
Sister Liu rushed forward, hugged Lan Mengxia, and waved to us two brothers, saying, "Master Feng, you two go first!"
Since Lan Mengxia is like this, my brother and I have no choice but to leave first.
Once we were back in the car, Sister Fei glanced at the two of us and asked, "Master Feng, did Lan Mengxia give you two something?"
"No!"
I replied casually.
After replying, a thought struck me. I exchanged a glance with Fatty Lin. Damn it, we two brothers had been tricked by Lan Mengxia.
She had been awake for a while, but had been pretending.
The words she whispered in my ear, coupled with the hand pressed against my chest, made Sister Liu think that she had given me something.
In reality, she gave her nothing.
"Master Feng, there are some things you don't need to get involved in!" Fat Sister said impatiently.
"We were not involved!"
I turned to her, staring into her eyes, and said, "You need to understand, you're the one who asked us to come and give Lan Mengxia acupuncture. You said you didn't want the acupuncture anymore, and we agreed. Today is the last day, so don't cause trouble!"
Fat Sister and I stared at each other for almost five seconds before she looked away and said, "It'd better not be!"
"Why can't you understand what I'm saying?"
It felt terrible to be outmaneuvered, and I immediately got angry.
Fatty Lin tugged at me, but I didn't say anything. Sister Fei didn't say anything either.
Half an hour later, we arrived at Plum Garden.
"I'll transfer the money to your account shortly!"
Before getting off the bus, Fat Sister said calmly.
"Um!"
I snorted and didn't say anything more.
After getting out of the car, Fatty Lin said as he walked into the villa, "Crazy, we can't stay in Hong Kong anymore. Everyone there is too scheming. Even after what happened to Lan Mengxia, they still dare to plot against us!"
"Also, Fat Sister doesn't believe us. I bet Brother Rong gave her a good talking-to yesterday, otherwise the acupuncture wouldn't have ended so early. And with her emotional intelligence, she wouldn't have directly asked us if Lan Mengxia gave us anything!"
"That's what Fatty Lin analyzed."
"I think so too. When Fei-jie goes back now, she might tell Rong-ge that we hid something!" I said.
"Let Mary book our plane tickets. We can't stay in Hong Kong Island any longer; we need to go back as soon as possible!"
"That's what Fatty Lin said."
