Chapter 528 Underground Godfather
When saying these things, Zhu Minghua didn't hide anything; he spoke frankly.
After saying all this, he also told us that if things went well, he would donate 100 million yuan to build a primary school for us.
We refused the offer of 100 million.
Zhu Minghua didn't care; he understood what we meant—that we were afraid the money would be tainted by karma and harm the students.
To our surprise, the day after the gathering, someone contacted us through Wen Haichao.
Because he had a small gathering with Zhu Minghua and Fourth Aunt last night, Fatty Lin didn't go out.
At 2 PM, just as Fatty Lin took out his phone to call Wen Haichao and ask what the program was for the day, Wen Haichao called him instead.
"You madman, look, this is what you call perfect understanding!"
Fatty Lin pointed at his phone and smugly said to me.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
I said with a chuckle.
"You're just jealous!"
Fatty Lin shook his head and answered the phone, even pressing the speakerphone button.
"Hai Chao, what are your plans for tonight?"
Before Wen Haichao could speak, Fatty Lin winked at me and asked a question.
"Child!"
I snorted.
"Brother Zai, someone has come to me and wants to meet you!" Wen Haichao's voice came over with a hint of caution.
"Who is it?" Fatty Lin asked casually, not taking it too seriously.
"Teddy Brother!" Wen Haichao subconsciously lowered his voice.
"Teddy Brother? Which Teddy Brother?" Fatty Lin asked, somewhat confused.
"It's Teddy, the big boss of 14K, he's very famous!" Wen Haichao said anxiously.
"That big-time demolitionist Teddy, right?" Fatty Lin realized.
I realized then who Wen Haichao was talking about.
In Hong Kong, there are many people with the same nickname. For example, Zhang Piaopiao's biological father is nicknamed "Bearded Yung," and another 14K gang leader is also called "Bearded Yung."
Both are bearded warriors, one is a little Karami, and the other is a big shot.
So when Wen Haichao first mentioned Teddy Brother, we didn't realize what was going on, but when she mentioned 14k, we all realized who Teddy Brother was!
"Yes, yes, that's Teddy Brother!" Wen Haichao gave an affirmative answer.
"Did he give you a message?" Fatty Lin asked.
"Um!"
Wen Haichao thought for a moment and said, "Brother Zai, although Brother Teddy has retired, he still has his men, his money, and his prestige. If he calls me, I wouldn't dare disobey!"
"What's your relationship with him like?" Fatty Lin asked.
"to be honest!"
Before Wen Haichao could answer, Fatty Lin added a sentence.
"Brother Zai, I'm not lying to you. I did date Teddy for a while, but not for long. I was given to Teddy as a gift by the Mai brothers. After the novelty wore off, Teddy went to find someone else!"
Wen Haichao said.
"Do you know what he wants from us?" Fatty Lin said.
"He didn't say the specifics, but I heard that Teddy's health hasn't been very good for years, so he might want to get you guys to help him improve his health!" Wen Haichao said.
"Okay, we don't have anything planned for this afternoon. Tell Teddy that if it's a health issue, he can come over now!" Fatty Lin said.
"Brother Zai, I understand. I'll call Brother Teddy right away!" Wen Haichao said.
"Okay, hang up!"
"That's what Fatty Lin said."
"Okay!" Wen Haichao obediently hummed in agreement, but didn't hang up the phone. She was waiting for Fatty Lin to hang up first.
This detail reveals that Wen Haichao is very good at serving people.
"No, I have to call Fourth Aunt and ask her about this Teddy Brother!"
After hanging up, Fatty Lin said.
"Go ahead and fight!" I said.
Our knowledge of this Teddy Bear guy is very superficial.
Teddy's story is no secret; he's just too famous.
Teddy Brother isn't very famous in mainland China, mainly because no movies promote him, or rather, no movies dare to promote him, since he's still alive.
For Hong Kong triad figures, those familiar to the mainland include the Tiger of Wan Chai, Bucktooth Koi, Po Ho, and the Ma brothers who have been whitewashed.
It's familiar because of the movie.
All of the above have been featured in movies.
Our generation, or rather, those born in the 70s, 80s, and some of the 90s, grew up watching Hong Kong movies.
We are all familiar with the characters who have appeared in the movies.
But Teddy didn't appear in the movie.
Therefore, when it comes to the big noodle makers in Hong Kong Island, people know about Po Ho and the Ma brothers, but no one is familiar with Teddy Gor, and many people don't even know who he is.
In reality, Teddy was even more ruthless than Poho and the Ma brothers.
When Po-Ho was famous in Hong Kong, he wasn't the only one who dominated the scene.
Later, when Po-hao was imprisoned, one of the Ma brothers fled to Taiwan, while the other lived a secluded life, leaving Teddy Brother to monopolize the market.
What business is the most profitable?
Monopoly!
According to reports, Teddy earned 50 billion dollars in the 1970s and 80s through his flour business.
That 50 billion is not the current 50 billion, but the 50 billion from the 1970s and 1980s.
Just from this amount of money, you can tell exactly how much money he made.
In comparison, Lei Luo's billion in black gold was nothing compared to his.
Is it really just for someone like this to see us and get some health treatment?
With doubt in his mind, Fatty Lin dialed Fourth Aunt's number.
"Kobayashi, what's wrong?"
After the call connected, Fourth Aunt's voice came through.
"Sister Ling, I just got a call from Wen Haichao. He said Brother Teddy is coming to my place!" Fatty Lin said.
"Hong Taidi?" Fourth Wife asked.
"Yes, it's him!" Fatty Lin nodded.
"He's here. You should only see him for his medical needs, nothing else!" Fourth Wife said after thinking for a moment.
"We only treat illnesses, nothing else!" Fatty Lin repeated.
"Yes, we only treat the actual illness, not other things!" Fourth Aunt repeated herself, afraid that we wouldn't understand.
When is he going to your place?
After repeating it, Fourth Wife asked another question.
"About half an hour later?" Fatty Lin estimated and said.
"Alright, you'll only see the doctor today, nothing else. Hua Jie and I will come to your place later. His matter needs to be discussed in person!" Fourth Wife said cautiously.
"Is it that serious?" Fatty Lin asked.
"There has never been an underground emperor in Hong Kong. If anyone is qualified to be called an underground emperor, that person must be Hung Tai-di!" Fourth Wife said in a deep voice.
"Is it that impressive?" I was a little surprised.
"That's how powerful it is!"
Fourth Wife exhaled a breath, and because the breath was so deep, we could hear it even through the phone.
"At his peak, Hung Tai-ti controlled the entire noodle business on Hong Kong Island, and not only that, he also monopolized the underground casino business!"
"Back then, he was both the drug kingpin and the underground gambling kingpin of Hong Kong. At his peak, he had over 100,000 henchmen who relied on him for their livelihood. Can you believe how powerful he was?"
