Shen Dong said calmly, "No matter what, I come from Hung Hing and have some connection with everyone. Otherwise, you two, Prince, Ah Nan, and Da Fei would have been dead long ago."

“Mr. Jiang, to tell you the truth, I’ve been waiting for you to come and negotiate with me, ever since Anan and the Crown Prince were injured. If I can hurt them, I can kill them, and I can kill you too. You don’t actually think the security measures at your villa are better than Uncle Ben’s at Dongxing, do you? Heh, if I hadn’t stopped you, your villa would have been destroyed long ago.”

Jiang Tiansheng said, "If I die, tens of thousands of Hung Hing brothers will never let you go."

Shen Dong said dismissively, "Judging from the current situation, if you die, Hung Hing will only fall into internal strife, because I really can't find a leader who is loyal to you."

Jiang Tiansheng was speechless.

Indeed, the older generation of Hung Hing has either retired or died, and the younger generation, such as Chan Ho-nam and Tai Fei, have only been in power for a year. Where is their unwavering loyalty?

Chen Yao said, "Ah Dong, we didn't call you here to argue."

Shen Dong smiled slightly and said, "I have no interest in coming here specifically to argue with you. Mr. Jiang, Brother Yao, the losses suffered by Hung Hing are your own doing, and I will not pay a single penny. As for your killing me, I can pretend it never happened. From now on, let's keep to ourselves."

Jiang Tiansheng asked, "What about the money we invested in you?"

Shen Dong said, "Two months from now, I will give you the money in full according to the agreement. Of course, if you decide not to take the 20% interest, I can give you the money in three days."

Jiang Tiansheng said, "I will take your words back with me."

Uncle Bo clapped his hands and laughed, "It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. We're all brothers of Hung Hing, so let's clear up the misunderstanding. Come on, let's have some tea."

Shen Dong picked up his teacup and said with a smile, "Mr. Jiang, Brother Yao, from now on, all our grudges are settled. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask, and I will do my best to assist you."

Jiang Tiansheng's expression remained calm. He touched Shen Dong's shoulder and said, "As long as you don't go against us, it's fine."

Shen Dong took a sip of tea and laughed heartily, "How could that be? Before I came, I had already had the 20 million under-the-table bet removed."

Chen Yao asked, "Ah Dong, was the gunman who killed Uncle Ben one of your men?"

Shen Dong shook his head and said, "No. His marksmanship is superb, how could he possibly be willing to condescend to be my subordinate? I can only tell you that he is a foreigner, and I will not tell you anything else."

Chen Yao said, "Uncle Ben was a ruthless and ambitious man. I never expected him to die like this. It's a real pity."

Shen Dong said, "That's why I don't want to continue in the underworld. Mr. Jiang, Brother Yao, Uncle Bo, Uncle Xing, I'm going to get into real estate and I need a lot of capital. If you have any spare money, you can invest it in me. The annual interest rate is 30%."

Uncle Bo's eyes lit up and he said, "Ah Dong, you're not joking, are you? Thirty percent a year, that's several times higher than those big banks."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "But it's much less than usury."

Uncle Bo curled his lip and said, "Loan sharks are unstable. I invested a million in Dinosaur back then, and after six months, I almost didn't even get my principal back, let alone the interest."

Shen Dong asked, "How could this happen?"

Uncle Bo said, "That idiot Dinosaur lent money to a few businessmen. After the stock market crashed, those businessmen either ran away or jumped off buildings. I didn't get a single penny back. If Dinosaur hadn't had a conscience and used his own money to make up for it, I would have been finished with that million long ago."

Uncle Xing nodded and said, "Ah Dong, if you can really give me a 30% annual interest rate, then count me in."

Shen Dong laughed and said, "No problem, the more the merrier."

Jiang Tiansheng gave Shen Dong a deep look and said, "You should return my HK$500 million, no, HK$600 million first."

After drinking tea for a while, everyone left.

On the way back, Shen Dong did not encounter any unexpected situations.

Just as they were about to reach the gate of the Repulse Bay villa, Chen Dong's expression changed, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. He said, "Ah Jie, there's a problem at the gate."

Upon hearing this, Li Jie immediately issued an order via walkie-talkie: "Asheng, reduce speed. There's a problem at the villa gate."

Tian Yangsheng said, "Understood."

Li Jie said, "Everyone, perk up and prepare for battle."

At the same time, Shen Dong picked up his mobile phone and called Chen Hui.

To ensure the safety of the house, Shen Dong had Chen Hui and Zhang Huan fully armed and put them in charge of the villa's security.

"Ahui, is there a problem?"

“There was no movement, but I felt something was wrong, so I had my brothers bring out their weapons.”

Veterans like Chen Hui, who have experienced war and life-or-death situations, have a keen sense of danger.

He said this because he had clearly sensed something, but he couldn't find the source of the danger like Shen Dong did.

Shen Dong said in a deep voice, "I am only two hundred meters away from the villa gate. The other side should have already taken control of the gate. There has been no movement inside, which means that their target is me and they don't want to alert them. But once they make a move, it will be a huge surprise. Have the brothers find cover so that they won't be caught off guard."

Chen Hui said, "Understood."

The two had just hung up the phone when they heard a series of gunshots outside.

"Clap clap clap clap"

Shen Dong's intuition was correct; the gate to the villa area had indeed been seized by a group of ruthless bandits.

Upon seeing Tian Yangsheng's armored vehicle suddenly slow down, the bandit leader on the other side judged that the target must be on alert, and immediately led his men to rush towards the convoy.
