Chapter 48

In the Sham Shui Po district of Hong Kong, located in the northwest of the Kowloon Peninsula, it is almost the largest area where the poor gather. In a dark alley, a young man in his mid-twenties was smoking, flipping through an old wallet, and pulling out the only few hundred Hong Kong dollars with a look of disappointment.

At this moment, two burly, fierce-looking men walked into the alley. "Du Yongqian, you little brat, you think you can hide from the money you borrowed from Eighth Master?"

Seeing his only way out blocked by the two men, the young man licked his lips and laughed dryly. "Big brothers, please pass a message to Eighth Master, give me a few more days, I'm almost there with the money."

"Looking for a beating, if we don't teach you a lesson today, you really think our loan company is a charity?"

The two strong men stepped forward, one on each side, and gave the slightly thin Du Yongqian a thorough beating, making him vomit his last night's dinner all over the ground. However, this guy was quite tough and didn't cry out once.

"Today is a warning, you have two more days to gather the money and pay it back. Otherwise, we'll burn down your house. I hear you have an old mother bedridden. If you don't want to kill her, get the money quickly."

After the two loan sharks left, Du Yongqian struggled to get up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and felt a bitter taste in his heart.

"What sin has the Du family committed? I grew up as a young master in a life of luxury, and now I'm forced to become a thief because of a 20,000 Hong Kong dollar loan."

Thinking back to when his grandfather was alive, he was a powerful figure in Shanghai, and even after fleeing to Hong Kong due to the Japanese invasion, he was still a wealthy man.

But after his grandfather passed away, the family's fortunes declined. His father was swindled out of all their wealth by unscrupulous businessmen, declared bankruptcy, and died of depression.

For all these years, he and his mother have lived a hard life, but who would have thought that last year, his mother fell ill from overwork, suffering from a terminal illness and bedridden.

And as a son, he couldn't even afford to take his mother to the hospital for treatment. What the hell, is this life worth living?

Recalling how, after his mother was diagnosed with bone cancer last year, he had to swallow his pride and borrow money from several uncles who had been helped by his grandfather, only to be met with cold eyes and ridicule, Du Yongqian couldn't help but raise his fist and pound the wall, venting his frustration and unwillingness.

"This can't go on, I need to find a way to make money, I need to treat my mother."

These words were not the first time Du Yongqian had said them to himself. Staggering, he felt the butterfly knife in his pocket, walked through three blocks, and rushed into a jewelry store.

At the Sheraton Hotel, Su Yang received a call from Xu Tianyang.

"Master, I've found the descendants of Little Du in Hong Kong," Xu Tianyang's voice was slightly emotional.

"Since I'm in Hong Kong, I'll see what I can do for his descendants," Su Yang said calmly.

"After Little Du passed away, his son also committed suicide due to business failure. Now, the only ones left related to Little Du are his grandson and daughter-in-law."

"From what I've learned, they live in the Sham Shui Po district of Hong Kong. One is named Meng Fang, and the other is Du Yongqian. I'll send you the specific address later. Sigh, it's my fault. If I had known earlier, the Du family wouldn't have fallen to this."

"This isn't your fault. Little Du has been in Hong Kong for so many years, and you lost contact long ago," Su Yang said calmly. "Tianyang, don't think too much. I'll find this mother and son, and at least ensure they live a life of wealth and honor."

With these words from the Master, Xu Tianyang felt better and hung up the phone.

The next day, at Miao Ling's strong request, Su Yang took her to Xiao Wei's temporary residence in Hong Kong, a large house on Deep Water Bay Road. This house was purchased by her years ago, though she didn't live there often, it was always well-maintained.

Seeing Su Yang, Xiao Wei also noticed Miao Ling who came with him and was slightly surprised. "Isn't this the beautiful woman from the National Security who scared the special forces into retreat last time?"

"Miss Xiao, hello."

Miao Ling stepped forward to shake hands with Xiao Wei, and Su Yang, without any hesitation, directly hugged Xiao Wei's slender waist and kissed her passionately in front of Miao Ling.

Perhaps due to Su Yang's strong attraction, or because they hadn't seen each other for several days since their first intimate encounter, the superstar responded enthusiastically, her eyes half-closed, exuding a thousand charms.

As the leader of the National Security's Third Group, Miao Ling naturally wouldn't be bothered by such a scene, but for some reason, her cheeks turned red, and her gaze towards Su Yang and Xiao Wei was peculiar.

After a long while, they parted.

Xiao Wei, like a gentle bird, held onto Su Yang's arm and led him and Miao Ling to the living room with a smile.

"Mrs. Wu, bring tea for the guests."

After the butler served the tea, Miao Ling began to feel uncomfortable.

"I came today because I have something to remind Mr. Su and Miss Xiao about."

"According to the intelligence I received, it's clear that Yong Sheng has already started retaliating against Mr. Su and Miss Xiao. I believe Mr. Su encountered this last night."

Hearing this, Su Yang was also surprised by Miao Ling's well-informed intelligence and smiled. "That's right, there were two guys following me last night."

"Those two men who were following Mr. Su are two of the ten top enforcers of Yong Sheng. One is missing, and the other's body was found on the rooftop."

Miao Ling frowned and met Su Yang's gaze. "Mr. Su, are you aware of this?"

Su Yang replied calmly, "Not only am I aware, but I also killed one of them."

Miao Ling's frown deepened at Su Yang's straightforward admission. "Mr. Su, what you did really puts me in a difficult position."

In her view, with Su Yang's abilities, he didn't need to kill anyone. He could have shaken off the trackers or beaten them up.

But her words also ignited a fire in Su Yang's heart.

"Who are you? Do you have the right to control me?"

Su Yang stood up coldly. "Previously, because you made a small contribution on the set, I agreed to come to Hong Kong with you and promised not to act unless they provoked me."

Su Yang's voice grew colder. "If you feel difficult, you can use your means, but if anyone, including the state's violent agencies, causes any harm to me or my people, they will pay an unimaginable price."

Now, there are very few people who dare to speak so harshly to the National Security Department.

Faced with Su Yang's anger, Miao Ling was at a loss, especially the coldness in Su Yang's deep eyes made her feel isolated in a freezing place.

"Mr. Su, even with your abilities, you cannot take human lives at will. If necessary, it should be handled by the relevant authorities."

The last sentence was added by Miao Ling under the immense pressure from Su Yang, hoping to find a way out.

"Are you capable of that?" Su Yang snorted. "Can you uproot Yong Sheng in Hong Kong in ten days?"

Miao Ling was stunned, her eyes wide open, unable to find the crux of the matter in Su Yang's question. She now understood that Su Yang was an unpredictable person, and he was someone who would not back down easily. So she said tactfully, "Mr. Su, Yong Sheng has deep roots in Hong Kong since the founding of the country. Even though Hong Kong has returned, this powerful force has spread to all levels of society. To move against Yong Sheng, even our minister cannot make the decision, let alone me with my limited authority."

"Moreover, uprooting Yong Sheng in ten days is impossible, at least within my knowledge, no violent agency or a combination of them can achieve this."

"Fine, since you said so, it means you can't handle this."

A wicked smile appeared on Su Yang's lips, making Miao Ling feel nervous.

"In ten days, I will make Yong Sheng a thing of the past."

"What?"

Miao Ling worried, "Mr. Su, I know your personal abilities are outstanding, but Yong Sheng is a large organization. Killing their leaders won't make it disappear. If you do this, it will plunge Hong Kong into unimaginable chaos."

"Did I say I would kill anyone?" Su Yang narrowed his eyes. "I won't change my mind. In ten days, Yong Sheng will be destroyed."

Miao Ling really couldn't understand where Su Yang's confidence came from. Knowing his many incredible abilities, she had a slight doubt—could he really do it?

"There are many forces in this world that surpass the state's machinery in terms of action."

After saying this, Su Yang made a "please" gesture, clearly not wanting to waste more words with Miao Ling.

Full of doubts, Miao Ling left Xiao Wei's house and immediately called.

"Minister, it's me, Miao Ling."

"I heard you went to Hong Kong. Is there something?"

"Although I can't believe it, the matter is too outrageous, and I think you should know."

"It's about the Mr. Su who is highly praised by Old Zhou and Old Lu..."

"The one who taught the troops the breathing technique?"

"Yes, him..."

Ten minutes later, Miao Ling clearly explained the entire situation.

"This is impossible. Even if our entire department works with local police 24/7, we can't achieve this," the minister affirmed.

"I know, it's too absurd, but he said it himself."

"Alright, if the situation changes, as long as it doesn't affect Hong Kong's stability, just observe. If it does, notify me immediately, and I'll seek higher instructions."

For Su Yang, who could dodge bullets from a top sniper, the minister didn't want to offend him easily, especially with Old Zhou and Old Lu backing him.

"What if it does affect it?" Miao Ling asked nervously.

"Notify me immediately, and I'll seek higher instructions."

In the bedroom of Xiao Wei's house, after a passionate battle, the beauty lay contentedly on Su Yang's chest, her fingers gently tracing his skin. "I didn't expect that I am so important to you, that you would come to Hong Kong just for me."

"You are my woman. Anyone who targets you is courting death. Don't forget, I promised to protect you from any harm."

"I received several calls today from stars who had agreed to sign with my production company. They all gave me flimsy excuses to refuse. That's when I knew Yong Sheng was making a move."

Xiao Wei smiled happily. "If you hadn't come to Hong Kong last night, I would have already boarded a flight back to Shanghai. After all, Yong Sheng's influence in Hong Kong is too powerful, and I can't afford to provoke them."

"It's my Xiao Wei who understands me, knowing my methods. Ha ha." Getting the recognition and absolute trust of the woman he loved, any man would be proud, and Su Yang was no exception. Happy, he couldn't help but pat the beauty's firm buttocks.

Xiao Wei pouted and wrapped her arms around Su Yang's neck. "You used to call me Miss Xiao, now you call me Xiao Wei. I've lost a lot."

Thunder and lightning, another passionate battle was inevitable.
