At this moment, faced with Lin Dong's astonishing "divine calculation", Ye Zhihuan was finally convinced.

"Who exactly are you? Why are you telling me all this?"

“My name is Lin Dong, as in winter. I came here specifically to see you.”

Lin Dong took out a pack of cigarettes from his suit pocket and offered one to Ye Zhihuan.

Ye Zhihuan hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took the cigarette, took out a lighter from his pocket, and lit it.

Some say that if a man accepts a cigarette from someone else, it means he approves of that person.

At least for now, I won't refuse anymore.

"I'm disembarking at the East Ring Pier tomorrow night, did you really calculate that?"

Ye Zhihuan took a deep drag on his cigarette, his doubts still unresolved.

"Yes, I have no reason to lie to you. We just arrived from Nandu this morning, and this is the first time we've met. We don't have time to investigate you."

Lin Dong lit a cigarette and slowly explained:

"Besides, I was just released from prison, and my hair hasn't grown back yet."

"I can tell that your name is Lin Dong? You must be no ordinary person in Nandu."

Looking at Lin Dong's young and handsome face, Ye Zhihuan always felt an indescribable sense of oppression emanating from him.

"Of course, our boss is now the head of the biggest gang in Nandu."

Fengzi picked up the conversation; he had recently become immune to the amazing things Lin Dong, the boss, had been showing.

Otherwise, who could have a heart that could withstand staying by the boss's side for too long?

"The largest gang in Southern Capital? Isn't it the Cloud Shadow Society?"

"You're the person in charge? That's not right. I remember the leader of the Cloud Shadow Society is Lu Jingye."

Ye Zhihuan was somewhat surprised. He had been in contact with Yunying Society a couple of years ago, so he was naturally quite familiar with it.

"It used to be, but it's not anymore."

Lin Dong said calmly:

"Trust me, you need to change the time you go ashore tomorrow night. Also, don't easily engage in a firefight with the police; it's not worth it."

"Okay, I believe you!"

Ye Zhihuan also dislikes nagging and says directly:

"Lin Dong, you didn't come to see me just to give me a wake-up call, did you?"

"That's the main reason. There's another thing I need you to keep an eye out for after you arrive in Hong Kong Island."

"you say."

"Keep an eye out for a mainland Chinese man named Gao Qijiang. He's my enemy."

"This is a small matter."

"I'll be going to Hong Kong Island later, how will I find you?"

Ye Zhihuan was taken aback. As Hong Kong's most wanted criminal, he was usually homeless and difficult to find.

"Give me your phone number, I'll contact you."

"Alright."

Lin Dong asked Ye Zhihuan to go into the store and get paper and pen, and then quickly wrote down a string of numbers.

“I’m going back to Southern Metropolis first. I estimate I’ll be in Hong Kong after the New Year. If you have any news about Gao Qijiang, you can call me.”

Lin Dong stood up, as if he had remembered something very important:

"Also, if you see Zhang Ziqiang, please pass on a message to him: Don't be too greedy when it comes to extorting Li the Richest Man; once is enough."

What?

Ye Zhihuan was utterly shocked.

How did Lin Dong know about my and Zhang Ziqiang's plans?

That shouldn't be the case. Could it have been calculated as well?

This...this is just too unbelievable!

"Fengzi, the bill."

"No need, it's my treat."

Ye Zhihuan suppressed the turmoil in his heart and stood up as well, reaching out to stop Fengzi from taking out his money.

Lin Dong smiled, didn't refuse, waved, and turned to leave.

......

February 18th, Lunar New Year's Eve.

Villa No. 92 in Marriott Villas is decorated with bright red lanterns from the main gate all the way to the inner room.

At the entrance on the first floor of the villa, two red couplets are particularly eye-catching:

Good fortune arrives and the family prospers.

May all your wishes come true and your business prosper!

Banner:

[Prosperity in all four seasons]

On either side of the entrance stood two pots of large, red kumquat trees laden with fruit, their branches and leaves adorned with countless red envelopes...

In the brightly lit living room, the atmosphere of the Lunar New Year has begun to grow lively.

On the 29-inch color TV in the living room, the Spring Festival Gala, which draws huge crowds, is playing.

There were five men and three women in the living room, all dressed in festive new clothes for the Chinese New Year, sitting around a large round table, happily making dumplings.

The man and woman in the middle are Lin Dong and his mother, He Yan.

At this moment, Lin Dong was wearing a black woolen hat and a black down jacket, making him look exceptionally stylish and handsome.

This hat was specially bought for him by his thoughtful maid, Sun Jialu, in the dead of winter, just in case his little bald head got cold.

At 8 p.m., a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner was set on the large dining table on time.

Lin Dong was the first to raise his glass:

"Everyone, it's Chinese New Year, and this is the first time it's been so lively. Thank you all for staying this year to spend the holiday with my mom and me."

"Hey bro, I'm spending Chinese New Year with you and your aunt, are you getting a big red envelope?"

Fengzi asked eagerly.

"Of course! My mom has everything ready. The red envelopes are guaranteed to be big. Let's drink to this to wish everyone good health and all our wishes come true!"

"Okay, let's do it!"

"In good health!"

"May all your wishes come true!"

......

During the banquet, Wan Ya finally showed a long-lost smile.

She downed the wine in one gulp, feeling a burning sensation travel down her throat and into her stomach.

After a while, my whole body felt warm and comfortable.

It turns out that a person's sadness can indeed fade with time.
