"I am only temporarily managing the Sanlian Gang. It is uncertain who will be the leader in the future. However, Mr. Shen's status is completely different after he left Hung Hing. Without the constraints of Hung Hing, I believe your business will be even more prosperous, and becoming a business tycoon in Hong Kong Island is just around the corner."
Upon hearing Ding Yao's words, Han Bin and the other two frowned.
What do you mean by Hung Hing's obstruction? Damn it, this is simply sowing discord.
Shen Dong, of course, wouldn't fall for that trick. He said, "Miss Ding, without Hung Hing, I wouldn't be where I am today. Back then, if it weren't for Hung Hing protecting me, I would have been selling salted duck eggs long ago. So I only feel gratitude towards Hung Hing."
Thirteen Sister said, "Miss Ding, don't try to use such childish tricks to sow discord in front of Ah Dong. It's really boring."
Han Bin chimed in, "That's right. We're here to catch up with Ah Dong. What brings you two here, though?"
Big D raised an eyebrow and said, "That's a secret, it has nothing to do with you."
Shen Dong said, “Gentlemen, this is my home, not the outside world. There’s no need to be so tense. Brother Bin, please go back and tell Mr. Jiang that I am very grateful for his concern. If I can’t handle Li Ka-shing, I will consider selling those land plots and projects to him as a package.”
It turns out that the story of Shen Dong and Li Ka-shing has not only spread throughout the business world, but also to all the prominent figures in Hong Kong.
Jiang Tianyang was quite interested in Shen Dong's real estate and wanted to buy it at a low price while Shen Dong was being suppressed by Li Ka-shing, which was somewhat like taking advantage of the situation.
Shen Dong wasn't angry. Not everyone has the guts to risk offending Li Ka-shing by buying these properties at this time.
Han Bin nodded and said, "Okay, I will pass on your message."
Big D said dismissively, "So it was just taking advantage of the situation. I really thought it was a reunion."
Han Bin glared at him fiercely, then bid farewell to Chen Haonan and Thirteen Sister.
Shen Dong saw them out of the living room, and Han Bin said, "You have to be careful of this Ding Yao. She's no ordinary woman; don't fall for her honey trap."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Have you ever heard the poem? 'A pair of jade arms, a thousand men's pillows; a single red lip, ten thousand men's taste.' No matter how beautiful a woman is, even if she stood naked in front of me, I would only feel disgusted."
Han Bin laughed and said, "I almost forgot, you're a germaphobe in this respect."
Back in the living room, Shen Dong heard Big D making a phone call to his men, asking them to bring more people over.
It was obvious that he was afraid of being targeted by Hung Hing.
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Big D, you're getting more and more cautious these days. But that's a good thing."
Big D said, "Hung Hing already knows I'm here. If they send someone to intercept and kill me, I'm finished."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "That makes sense. Now, what brings you two to me?"
Big D pointed at Ding Yao and said, "Miss Ding wants to discuss a big business deal with you."
Shen Dong said helplessly, "Real estate, right?"
Ding Yao smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, we've all heard about Li Ka-shing's suppression of you. Now that your real estate project can no longer continue, our Sanlian Gang is willing to take over at a price 50% higher than the cost price. What do you think?"
Shen Dong asked curiously, "Miss Ding, what you're doing is ruining Li Ka-shing's plans. Aren't you worried that he'll suppress your Triad?"
Ding Yao said, "Li Ka-shing's properties and docks in northern Taiwan are protected by our Triad. Given our relationship with him, there shouldn't be any problems."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "This Li Ka-shing certainly has a lot of business."
Ding Yao's beautiful eyes flickered as she asked, "Mr. Shen, would you mind revealing what price Hung Hing's Chiang Tin-yang offered?"
Shen Dong replied, "I can only say that I'm lower than you."
Ding Yao smiled and said, "You're being too frank; it doesn't seem to be very helpful for your negotiations."
Shen Dong waved his hand and said, "There's nothing to talk about. I never even considered selling these projects."
Big D said, "Ah Dong, don't be foolish. You've invested so much money in it. If you can't sell it, wouldn't you suffer a huge loss? Now that Miss Ding is offering such a high price, I think you should seriously consider it."
Shen Dong was well aware that Ding Yao was not buying his projects just to make money, but more importantly, to use them as a springboard to expand the influence of the Sanlian Gang to Hong Kong Island.
If this goal is achieved, Ding Yao's prestige within the Sanlian Gang will be greatly enhanced, and she will very likely be able to truly assume the position of leader.
Big D's enthusiasm should be something he can gain from this, but he doesn't know how much this will affect Ding Yao and the Sanlian Gang.
Otherwise, he certainly wouldn't be so foolish as to personally invite a future formidable enemy into Hong Kong Island.
Shen Dong said, "Give me another half month. If I still can't find a solution after half a month, I will consider your suggestions."
Big D chuckled and said, "That's more like it."
Shen Dong said irritably, "Are you hoping I'll fail to handle Li Ka-shing?"
Big D quickly explained, "How could that be? I'm happy for you. With the Sanlian Gang backing you up, you won't suffer any major losses."
Shen Dong rolled his eyes and said, "Thank you."
After finishing their business, Ding Yao smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, your villa is truly wonderful. I wonder if I might have the chance to stay here for the night?"
Big D's expression changed, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.
Shen Dong immediately deduced that Da D was likely already under Ding Yao's spell; otherwise, he wouldn't have had that expression.
This guy can't even control his lower body, he's such an idiot!
Shen Dong said, "Of course. My three wives are on the second floor. I'll have them prepare a room for you."
Ding Yao quickly replied, "No need. I was just joking."
Shen Dong gave her a deep look, then suddenly asked, "Is Mr. Gao Jie still here?"
Ding Yao was shocked, but her face remained calm. She said, "I don't know where he's been these past few days. Does Mr. Shen need to see him?"
Shen Dong smiled and said, "I am very curious about Lei Gong's death and would like to ask him some questions."
Ding Yao frowned slightly and asked, "What would you like to ask, Mr. Shen?"
Shen Dong shrugged and said, "Since we can't find the person, we won't ask anymore. Miss Ding, do you really think Shanji killed Leigong? Or rather, do you think Shanji could have killed Leigong?"
Ding Yao asked, "Mr. Shen, what exactly do you mean?"
Shen Dong sighed and said, "It was just a joke, it doesn't mean anything."
Looking into Shen Dong's eyes, which seemed to know everything, Ding Yao felt a sudden, inexplicable panic.
She wanted to escape immediately, so she stood up and said, "Mr. Shen, let's discuss the cooperation in two weeks. It's getting late, so we won't bother you any longer."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "I'll see you off."
