Chapter 392 Black Fist 2
"A male concubine? Wouldn't that be instant success?"
Lin Pangzi's eyes lit up immediately when he heard the words "male concubine".
"What are you trying to achieve?"
Fourth Aunt glared at Fatty Lin and said, "You're talking nonsense! Is that climbing to heaven? Ascending to heaven is more like it!"
"Sister Ling, I was just saying!" Fatty Lin said with a grin.
"Sister Ling, don't mind him, let's continue!" I said.
"Um!"
Fourth Aunt nodded and said, "Besides the types mentioned above, there's another type: scions of reclusive martial arts families!"
"A member of a reclusive martial arts family?" Both Fatty Lin and I were confused by this title.
"For example, Wang Long, the head instructor of the Long family, has retired, but his family business is booming, and the influence of his descendants in the gang has not diminished!" Fourth Aunt said.
"Sister Ling, do you mean the descendants of those retired uncles in the gang?" I asked.
"Pretty much. These second-generation ancestors, even if they weren't the head of the gang, must have been at least a second-in-command or a chief accountant." Fourth Aunt nodded and said, "After they retired, they seemed to have given up on gang affairs, washed their hands of the trade, and focused on retiring and doing legitimate business. But it's not that easy to retire!"
"Once a thief, always a thief!"
"They had already left a record of them in the anti-gang unit!"
"Besides, if we really retire and lose the backing of the gang, won't those people we offended retaliate against us?"
"They only outwardly stepped down; their descendants mostly inherited their former power!"
"They go to underground boxing matches not for the thrill, but to watch people take on assassins!"
"Wow, there's such a saying? I've learned something new!" Fatty Lin said with a smile. "Sister Ling, is there anything else?"
"have!"
Fourth Aunt nodded and said, "The children of celebrities, directors, or film company heirs also like to watch underground boxing matches!"
"Looking for excitement and inspiration?" I asked.
"almost!"
Fourth Aunt smiled and said, "Some are rebellious, going in to do extreme sports, looking for thrills, or even paying to go down and fight!"
"Looking for a punching bag?" I asked.
If these people go down to fight, they can't be the ones getting beaten up; they'll be the ones doing the beating!
"That's right!" Fourth Wife snorted, saying, "They're all a bunch of good-for-nothings, the easiest targets to be manipulated!"
"The above-mentioned types are all from within Hong Kong Island. Besides those from Hong Kong Island, there are also many forces from outside the island coming to watch underground boxing matches!"
The fourth wife clearly didn't want to say much to the children of celebrities and quickly turned her attention to outsiders.
"Outside the island? Where is that?"
I thought I was done, but there was more to come.
"Rich second-generation Chinese from Southeast Asia!"
Fourth Aunt said.
"There are second-generation heirs from rubber plantations in Siam and Malaysia, children of Penang casino tycoons, and even second-generation gangsters from Taiwan!"
"These people from Southeast Asia are the most superstitious about black magic and spirit mediums!"
"When they come, they don't just come alone; sometimes they bring boxers with them to exchange ideas and have matches with local boxers!"
At this point, Fourth Wife paused, then said, "It's called a competition, but it's really a life-or-death struggle!"
"These kinds of life-or-death battles are always the most active time for betting, with the most funds involved!"
"Because these kinds of bets are basically not rigged!"
"This is often when money laundering and arms dealing are most active; underground boxing rings are where they meet, negotiate, and divide the spoils!"
"Sister Ling, won't we get investigated if we do this?" I asked.
"Under investigation?"
Fourth Wife seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and said, "Ever since Kowloon Walled City was demolished, underground boxing has moved to Yau Tsim Mong and Sham Shui Po, which has been going on for fifteen or sixteen years. Can you guess why, after all these years, underground boxing has not only not been investigated, but has become more and more prosperous?"
"Is someone protecting him?" I immediately realized.
"The sons of police officers and ICAC officials all own shares in underground boxing rings!" Fourth Wife said.
"These second-generation rich kids appear virtuous and upright on the surface, but are extremely indulgent in private. They also come to watch underground boxing matches, but they basically don't show their faces. They enter discreetly and sit in the most secluded VIP rooms!"
"With them around, how could the underground boxing ring possibly be investigated?"
"Indeed!" Fatty Lin clicked his tongue and said, "All crows are black!"
"It's not just the children of police officers and ICAC officials; some lawyers and accountants' children also specialize in handling legal issues for underground boxing rings, and some even help them launder money!"
"They'll do anything as long as the money's there!" Fourth Wife said.
"The most famous law firms on Hong Kong Island all have business with underground boxing rings; they are the biggest backers of these rings!"
"Those top lawyers are all about money!"
At this point, the fourth wife's lips curled into a mocking smile.
"I never imagined there was so much to say about this!" Fatty Lin remarked with some emotion.
"It's much deeper than you can imagine!"
Fourth Aunt said meaningfully.
After saying that, she turned her gaze to "Luo Yufu" and said, "Xiao Lin, Thirteen, do you two want Yuehong to completely replace Luo Yufu in the future, or do you want Yuehong to live in anonymity and somewhere else?"
"Of course it's to replace Luo Yufu, otherwise why would we go through all this trouble!" Fatty Lin said.
"Xiao Lin, it won't be that easy for you to let Yue Hong live in Hong Kong as Luo Yu Fu!" Fourth Wife said.
"Although Luo Yufu is not well-liked by the Luo family, she still carries the Luo surname and interacts daily with upper-class socialites. If Yuehong's handling of her is slightly off, it will be noticed. Have you thought about this issue?"
"I never thought of that!"
We looked at each other and spoke at the same time.
To be honest, we really hadn't thought about this.
When Fatty Lin performed the soul transfer for Shen Yuehong and Luo Yufu, his only thought was to use their own methods against them and to help Shen Yuehong get revenge; he didn't think much else.
"Possession isn't something you can just do by taking over someone's body!" Fourth Aunt sighed upon hearing this.
"Sister Ling, do you have a way to cover this up?"
Fatty Lin's eyes darted around, and he understood what Fourth Aunt meant.
"Yes, it is!"
Fourth Aunt sized up Fatty Lin, a smile playing on her lips, and said, "However, you'll need to make a sacrifice!"
"Me? Sacrifice?"
Fatty Lin thought of a possibility, smiled guiltily, and said, "Sister Ling, how do you want me to sacrifice myself?"
"How will you sacrifice yourself?"
Fourth Wife glanced at Luo Yufu and said, "It's no secret that Luo Yufu worships at a temple, nor is it a secret that she seeks out male celebrities for 'essence' (sexual enhancement). Her personality has suddenly changed drastically; she must have some excuse, right?"
"Sister Ling, you're not planning to spread rumors that Luo Yufu was so impressed by my bloodletting techniques that she's stopped dating male celebrities and no longer supports the Fu Hui Orphanage, are you?"
Fatty Lin swallowed hard and voiced his guess.
