Why should I act on my own when there are others?

Kowloon Manor.

in the hall.

Lin Cheng looked at the person opposite him and said directly: "I wonder what Xiangsheng has come for today?"

Xiang Lao Da didn't intend to hide anything and replied directly.

"Nothing, I just want to see if Young Master Lin, who is able to integrate the underground world of Hong Kong Island, really has three heads and six arms, and whether it is really as the Taoist says."

Everyone who is well-known and influential knows Lin Cheng's background, so it is normal to call Lin Cheng "Young Master Lin".

After all, they are just juniors to Grandpa Ding.

"Xiang Sheng is really good at joking. Those are just rumors from gangsters. How could Xiang Sheng believe them?"

How could the Xiang family's eldest brother not hear Lin Cheng's jokes?

"It is an honor for us to witness the rise of a great man. After all, there are countless people who have wanted to do this over the years, but these people either failed or went down. Lin Shao has such ability at such a young age, which is really admirable."

From the tone of the words, Lin Cheng knew that the Xiang family boss's words were indeed as he said.

Under his compliments, Lin Cheng did not lose himself. Although it was really fucking comfortable to be complimented by others, Lin Cheng was also a worldly-wise man, so how could he show it?

But he really didn't think that the Xiang family's eldest brother came here today just to compliment him. He must have another purpose, otherwise someone of his status would have no need to come here specially to compliment him.

The current Kowloon is indeed unique among the Hong Kong Island societies, and there are actually many people who flatter them. But the current Xiang family is not yet so powerful. After all, they have developed for decades and still have some foundation.

Lin Cheng remembered very clearly that after the return of 97, the Xiang family was one of the few families that had not been eliminated.

From this we can see that the Xiang family is not simple and cannot be compared with other community families.

As for the Xiang family, Lin Cheng did not have too many thoughts. As long as the Xiang family did not provoke him, he would not take action against them.

After all, Lin Cheng didn't want to change the future development trajectory too much.

"Xiang Sheng came to my Jiulong Manor today not just to compliment me, right? So Xiang Sheng, just speak directly. After all, there is no one else here, and I don't like beating around the bush."

Seeing what Lin Chengdu said, the head of the Xiang family was not going to beat around the bush anymore.

After all, he had something to do this time, which was why he came to visit Jiulong Manor in person. If he didn't have something to do, he wouldn't need to come and visit Lin Cheng, a young man, in person with his status. No matter whether the Nine Elders were stronger than the Xiang family now, they wouldn't let him take the initiative.

After all, Lin Cheng is just a junior now.

But now something happened, and considering Jiulong's current strength, he really didn't dare to be arrogant, so he could only come to Jiulong to visit Lin Cheng in person.

"As expected, I can't hide anything from Master Lin. You saw through my little trick in an instant. I did have something to do when I came to Kowloon Manor today."

Lin Cheng knew that someone like him would never come here on his own initiative unless there was something going on.

Now he was also curious about what could have made the eldest brother of the Xiang family come to visit in person.

"Just tell me the truth. If it is beneficial to Kowloon, I will consider it."

How could the Xiang family's eldest brother not understand what Lin Cheng meant from his words?

From this, the Xiang family's eldest brother knew that although Lin Cheng was young, his speaking was no worse than those old-timers.

Just a few words explained his and Kowloon's positions.

Whenever it is beneficial to Kowloon, you can talk about it nicely, if not, forget it.

We can ask them to take action, but this matter has to be beneficial to them, Kowloon. Otherwise, whether they agree or not is another matter.

In a nutshell, anyone who benefits me is my friend.

The eldest brother of the Xiang family was secretly delighted, because he knew that this matter should be successful. His visit this time would be of many benefits to Jiulong as a whole.

Therefore, based on these interests, this trip to Kowloon Manor should not be unsuccessful.

He came here with the idea of ​​giving it a try at first, but after Lin Cheng said those words, he knew there was a chance.

"We, the Xiang family, have some conflicts with the Yi'an Society. We hope that Young Master Lin can mediate." The Xiang family elder stated his purpose clearly.

Lin Cheng's heart moved. He naturally knew the Ngee Ann Society. It was a long-established society in Hong Kong Island.

"It's not impossible to mediate, but why should I help you?" Lin Cheng said lightly.

The eldest brother of the Xiang family smiled and said, "If Young Master Lin is willing to help, our Xiang family is willing to transfer some of the business to Jiulong."

Lin Cheng's eyes flashed with greed, but he quickly regained his composure, "This little bit of profit is not enough."

The Xiang family boss was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "In addition to interests, we can also cooperate and give up some of our connections."

Lin Cheng nodded slightly, "That's more like it, but I need to think about it again."

The eldest brother of the Xiang family said quickly: "Please give us a quick reply, Master Lin. This matter concerns the rise and fall of our Xiang family."

Lin Cheng stood up and said, "I will, but before that, Mr. Xiang should show me your Xiang family's sincerity."

After saying that, Lin Cheng turned around and left the living room. The eldest brother of the Xiang family looked at his back and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least Lin Cheng did not directly refuse. This was a good start.

He was not angry because of Lin Cheng's arrogant departure.

After all, he was young once, and he was also young and energetic.

In addition, considering that Jiulong has achieved such great success at Lin Cheng's age, it would be a problem if he was not angry.

After seeing Lin Cheng leave, the eldest son of the Xiang family also left Kowloon Manor.

At this time, Lin Cheng was also watching the head of the Xiang family leave from the window of another room.

After the Xiang family boss got in the car, Gao Jin said:

"Wouldn't it be better if Boss just watched them hurt each other?"

Gao Jin felt that although Kowloon was nominally the uncrowned king of Hong Kong Island, it was still a long way from truly controlling Hong Kong Island.

After all, there are many forces hidden in Hong Kong Island.

And the Xiang family is one of them.

Lin Cheng shook his head.

“It’s not that simple. Hong Kong has been under the control of these forces for such a long time, it’s impossible that they don’t have other hidden means.

We took down those visible forces because we knew they had already used other means, so it was no problem to take them down. But it was different for these hidden forces. Hong Kong Island was only a part of their forces. If we pushed them too hard at this time, they would fight to the death and not care about the interests of Hong Kong Island, and fight me in Kowloon like crazy, which would be a loss. "

Of course Lin Cheng wanted to get rid of these hidden forces at once, but he could only think about it. After all, he was not yet able to cover the sky with one hand.

After Lin Cheng finished speaking, Gao Jin thought about it.

I know this is true; the water in Hong Kong Island is not as simple as it appears.

"The cooperation with the Xiang family will be handed over to you from now on. Don't conflict with them for the time being."

"Okay, boss."
