Feng Shui Secrets of the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 57 Six Major Forces

As expected, after boarding, the girl was indeed on the same flight as me.

Not only that, her seat was to my side and behind, two seats away from me. Her position made it easy for her to see me, and I could feel that she was watching me the whole time.

"You crazy guy, your luck with women is about to change!"

After Lin the Fat found out, he kept whispering in my ear.

"Fatty, I don't feel well!"

I said softly.

This girl is indeed beautiful, not only beautiful, but also pure and refreshing.

But for some reason, every time I make eye contact with her, I feel like she sees right through me.

"not good?"

The fat man muttered something to himself and said, "Let me calculate it for you!"

After saying that, he started counting on his fingers.

After a long pause, he looked at me with a strange expression, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Spit it out!" I said.

"I can't figure her out, I can't figure her out!" Fatty Lin glanced behind him and said, "This girl is fucking weird, there's something wrong with her!"

"I didn't know there was a problem. What normal girl stares at people like that!" I whispered.

It's been over two hours since I boarded the plane, and this girl has been staring at me the whole time. If it weren't for the inconvenience of being on the plane, I would have stood up and gone over to ask her why she kept staring at me.

"How about we switch seats, I don't mind being watched!" said Fatty Lin.

"OK!"

I thought about it for a moment, nodded, unbuckled my seatbelt, and switched places with Fatty Lin.

As I stood up, I casually glanced back at her. When the girl saw me change seats, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

This disappointment startled me. What's going on? Trying to fall in love at first sight with me? I don't have that much charm!

We just walked along like that, completely inexplicable, until we arrived at Hong Kong Island.

After I got off the plane and came out of the airport, the girl followed me, but her eyes were no longer on me. Instead, she was looking around as if she was looking for someone. I breathed a sigh of relief when she did that.

Besides Fei Jie, Liu Mochou was also there to pick them up at the airport.

"Xiaofeng, Xiaolin, I've arranged a family dinner. Your brother-in-law and a few of my friends are preparing dinner at home. I'll introduce you to them later!"

Upon seeing me and Fatty Lin, Liu Mochou walked over, hooking one arm in each of ours, and led us to her car in a familiar manner.

Fat Sister watched from the side, her face full of helplessness.

The two of us came here to treat Lan Mengxia with acupuncture. It was originally a secret operation, but after Aunt Xiao, that big mouth, spread the word, it's no longer a secret.

"Sis, this is a problem!" I said.

"What trouble? I treat you like my own brother!" Liu Mochou said affectionately.

After we got on the bus, Liu Mochou pointed to the scenery outside the window and started acting as our tour guide, explaining everything to us.

I'm not surprised that Liu Mochou is like this.

She spends at least five months of the year in Beijing. She, Ye Yingzi, and Xia Wen are Xiao Yitai's main mahjong partners.

With just one phone call from Aunt Xiao, she would fly over from Hong Kong Island.

Over the years, she has profited quite a bit from the information she obtained from Aunt Xiao.

Not only her, but also Ye Yingzi and Xia Wen.

This is also the main reason why they coaxed Aunt Xiao.

Liu Mochou treats me this way because I am now a favorite of Third Master and Aunt Xiao.

Soon, we arrived at Liu Mochou's villa located in the middle of the mountain.

This villa has a very elegant name: Plum Garden.

When she was almost there, Liu Mochou called her boyfriend.

As the car entered the villa, I noticed three people coming out to greet me. The one in the lead was Liu Mochou's boyfriend, Liang Yongren. To Liang Yongren's left was the singing legend Zhang Wei, and to his right was the short Zeng Xiaowei.

"Ren, Wei, Brother Wei, this is Master Feng Shisan, the legendary Taoist doctor I always tell you about, and his good brother, Taoist Master Lin Xuanjing!"

After we got off the bus, Liu Mochou took my arm and introduced me to everyone.

"Brother-in-law, Wei-ge, Wei-ge!"

Faced with the outstretched hands of the three people, I politely shook hands with each of them.

"I'd heard from Mochou that a medical genius had emerged in the capital; today I've finally met him in person!"

When I shook hands with Zeng Xiaowei, he was unusually enthusiastic.

"He only knows some family-inherited medical skills; he can't be called a master!"

As I spoke politely, I noticed that Sister Fei's expression didn't seem very good.

Upon entering the villa, Fatty Lin displayed his impressive demeanor.

Liu Mochou mainly told them about Lin Pangzi's battle against the fox spirit on Bai Xue's body, and his magical duel with Long Po from afar.

Hearing this, they all got excited, including Sister Fei.

Fatty Lin was also very eloquent. He recounted several cases of hanged ghosts seeking death that he had dealt with before, as well as his negotiations with the immortals, which left the group of people stunned.

The meal was enjoyed by both the host and guests.

In the early hours of the morning, these people took their leave.

When they saw them off, Zhang Wei didn't seem to mind, but Zeng Xiaowei and Fei Jie exchanged a glance, as if they had made some kind of agreement.

After the others left, Liu Mochou turned to Liang Yongren and said, "Ren, go to sleep. Xiaofeng, Xiaolin, and I will chat for a while longer!"

"Okay, don't stay up too late, get some rest!"

Liang Yongren patted Liu Mochou's arm, nodded to the two of us, and turned to go upstairs.

It's clear that Liu Mochou is the one in charge in this family.

"Sister Mochou, is Lan Mengxia's matter difficult to handle?"

After Liang Yongren went upstairs, Fatty Lin asked the question directly.

"That's right!"

Liu Mochou nodded, then snorted and said, "That Fei Jie went too far back in the day. Now she wants to make amends, but it's too late!"

"Xiao Feng, Xiao Lin, and Lan Mengxia, don't get too involved. If you can handle it, do so; if not, then leave. I'll spend a few days with you in Hong Kong!"

"Sis, do you know something?"

I asked.

Liu Mochou hesitated for a moment, then said, "Lan Mengxia's current state is inextricably linked to Brother Rong, and also to Brother Wei. If you cure Lan Mengxia, what if she goes around spreading rumors? How will Brother Rong face the world?"

She paused, then added, "At that point, Lan Mengxia might not even be able to save her life. As it is now, at least she'll be alive!"

"Is it really that rampant?" I said.

"It's much better now!"

Liu Mochou sighed, as if recalling something, and said, "Back in the 80s and 90s, people really did have guns pointed at their heads while filming!"

"Two thousand years later, the situation seems much better, but it's really just a change in name only. Today's Hong Kong entertainment industry is mainly dominated by four forces: the Lung family's Lung Shing, the Wong family's Ying Huang, and Wing Gor's Wing Kit!"

"Who is the fourth shareholder?"

Seeing that Liu Mochou had stopped, I was a little curious as to why she didn't continue.

I know about the three forces mentioned earlier, and I have some understanding of them, especially the Long family and Brother Rong, who are both powerful underworld families.

"The fourth company is Mowei Entertainment, owned by Brother. Mowei Entertainment rarely produces movies; it mainly focuses on organizing concerts. Nowadays, Hong Kong stars who want to hold concerts in mainland China have to go through them. For example, Ah Wai's concert organizing rights are in their hands!"

Liu Mochou said.

"He's the boss, too!"

After speaking, Liu Mochou introduced Brother Jiu to us.

After hearing this, I was immediately shocked. Of the four major forces in the entertainment industry, three of them have connections to organized crime.

One is Hongji of the Long family, one is Lianzi, and one is Dongzi.

"Xiao Feng, of these four forces, Brother Rong and Brother Jiu have the best relationship. Together, they can control 30% of Hong Kong's underworld. If Brother Rong finds out you treated Lan Mengxia, he definitely won't let it go!"

Liu Mochou then gave a concluding summary.

"You two need to be careful!"

After saying that, Liu Mochou was still not reassured and offered another word of advice.

"Sis, we brothers know what we're doing!" I thought for a moment and said.

"It's good that you all know what's going on!"

Liu Mochou breathed a sigh of relief.

My brother and I exchanged a glance. Fat Sister's move had pushed us both into the vortex.

Back in our room, my brother and I went over the whole thing in detail.

My brother and I suspect that this whole thing was a trap set up by Deng Wenwen.

Fei Jie was introduced by Deng Wenwen, and at that time our relationship was fairly good.

Not long after the relationship broke down, Fei Jie called and invited us to treat Lan Mengxia's illness.

We didn't think much of it before; it was just treating an illness, how much trouble could it cause?

Now that Liu Mochou has analyzed it this way, I understand that things are not as simple as they seem.

At the same time, I also learned that the rumors were true: Brother Rong and Zeng Xiaowei were the culprits behind Lan Mengxia's illness.

"Fatty, what do you think about this job?"

After I finished the analysis, I asked.

"No refunds!"

Fatty Lin squinted and said, "If we two brothers retire this time, Deng Wenwen will definitely spread the word everywhere, and our reputations in the industry will be ruined!"

"It's not just the two of us brothers; we're now Third Master's men. If we back down, Third Master's reputation will be damaged!"

"What will Third Master think then?"

"Deng Wenwen's move is a calculated strategy; we have no way to retreat now!"

"Let's do it!"

I said.

"Let's do it!"

Fatty Lin nodded and said, "If we get through, we'll be like dragons ascending to heaven. If we don't, we can always call Third Master for help. It's not shameful to ask Third Master for help!"

"Damn, I almost forgot we could ask Third Master for help!" I clapped my hands and exclaimed.

"That's exactly what General Deng Wenwen is after. She thinks we two brothers are young and impetuous, and don't know how to bow our heads. But what's bowing our heads? That year, we two brothers took a job on our own to deal with that female corpse in the river. We both knelt down before that corpse. What's a mere bowing our heads!"

Fatty Lin snorted and said.

"Damn it, can you please not bring that up? It's embarrassing!" I cursed.

"What's so shameful about it? I knelt down too, didn't I?" Fatty Lin said, pursing his lips.

"Get out of here, I want to sleep!"

I pointed outwards, and this guy always ends up revealing his past secrets.

The next morning, Sister Fei came to pick us up.

Just before I got into the car, Liu Mochou squeezed my arm and said, "Be careful!"

"Um!"

I nodded.

"Sister Fei, where is Lan Mengxia now?"

After getting in the car, Fatty Lin asked.

"She lives in a public housing estate in Stanley!"

"That's what Fat Sister said."

"Public housing estates!"

I feel a little sad. He was famous for so many years, but in the end, he lives in a public housing estate.

"Shall we go to her place now?" Fatty Lin asked.

"First, go pick up a social worker. That social worker has a good relationship with Lan Mengxia. With her involved, things will be much easier. Also, don't mention me when you're getting acupuncture. I'm telling you that I'm a volunteer from the Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic invited by the Welfare Department!" Sister Fei added.

"No problem!" I said.

We've discussed this before. As Ling'er's good friend, Lan Mengxia knows the inside story of Ling'er's suicide. She's extremely wary of Fei Jie. If we mention Fei Jie, she might prevent us from getting acupuncture.

An hour later, we met the social worker outside the housing estate. Her surname was Liu, and she was forty years old. We called her Sister Liu.

It's clear that she and Sister Fei are very familiar with each other; she doesn't seem like someone she just bribed.

"Sister Fei, I know what to do, don't worry!"

After Sister Fei gave us a brief explanation, we got off the bus. Before getting off, Sister Liu nodded obsequiously to Sister Fei.

After getting off the bus, we headed to Lan Mengxia's house, led by Sister Liu.

Lan Mengxia lived in a unit on the fifth floor of the housing estate. When they arrived at her door, Sister Liu knocked and called out, "Sister Xia!"

No one responded.

"Are you not home?" I asked.

"No, I'm keeping an eye on her; she didn't leave the house this morning!"

As she spoke, Sister Liu knocked a few more times, calling out, "Sister Xia? Sister Xia?"

"Who?"

A few seconds later, a slightly frightened voice came from inside.

"It's me, Xiao Liu!"

Sister Liu replied.

Upon hearing this answer, the person inside seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, opened the door a crack, and checked to see if it was a social worker outside.

"What is it?"

After confirmation, the door opened, and a familiar yet aged face appeared before me and Fatty Lin—it was Lan Mengxia.

She's only in her early forties, but she looks like she's sixty; the years have left too many marks on her.

"Sister Xia, don't you always have headaches? I've found two traditional Chinese medicine doctors offering free consultations to take a look at you!"

As he spoke, Xiao Liu made way for us and pointed to the two of us.

"Hello, Sister Xia, my name is Feng Shisan, and I am a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner!" I nodded to Lan Mengxia and smiled.

Fatty Lin also introduced himself.

"Oh, hello everyone!"

Lan Mengxia showed no intention of inviting us in; she remained blocking the entrance.

"Sister Xia, these two masters are here to help you cure your headache!" Sister Liu repeated.

"oh!"

Lan Mengxia stared at us blankly for about three seconds before nodding and making way.

"Sister Xia, don't let their youth fool you, these two masters are very skilled!"

Seeing this, Sister Liu led us inside, talking as we went.

Lan Mengxia didn't say anything, she just walked stiffly inside.

Lin Pangzi and I exchanged a glance; Lan Mengxia's condition was indeed not right.

After I came in, I looked around. The room she was staying in was very small, only about 20 square meters, and you could see the whole thing at a glance.

After looking around, I realized that Lan Mengxia seemed to have forgotten about us. She sat blankly at the table, staring at the opposite wall with an empty gaze.

Sister Liu gave us a helpless smile and whispered, "Masters, please don't mind her, Sister Xia has been like this for a long time!"

After saying that, she said to Lan Mengxia, "Sister Xia, would you like Master Feng to take your pulse?"

As she asked the question, she pulled Lan Mengxia's arm and placed it on the table. Without waiting for Lan Mengxia's consent, she gestured for me to come forward and take her pulse.

I went up and sat opposite Lan Mengxia, then reached out to take her pulse.

The moment his hand touched Lan Mengxia's wrist, she recoiled like a startled rabbit, crying out in terror, "I don't need your pulse taken! My body is truly failing me; I'm useless to you now! Please let me go! Let me go!"

This sudden turn of events left me somewhat bewildered, so I turned to look at Sister Liu.

Sister Liu was a little embarrassed and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Sister Xia, we're here to treat your illness, we have no other intentions, please calm down!"

"Don't come any closer! Go away, all of you, get out of here!"

Lan Mengxia retreated to the window, waving her hands haphazardly, as if she would jump if we came any closer.

"Alright, let's go!"

She was in such a state that acupuncture was impossible, so I could only give Sister Liu a wink.

Sister Liu immediately understood and said, "Sister Xia, don't panic, let's go, let's go, okay?"

We walked outside while talking.

Judging from today's situation, acupuncture is no longer an option.

Next time I come, I'll probably have to light some calming incense first, and wait until Lan Mengxia falls asleep before I can do the acupuncture.

"Master Feng, Master Lin, what should we do today?"

After they came out, Sister Liu asked worriedly.

"It's okay, we'll go back and tell Sister Fei that we'll come back another day!" I said.

I am now increasingly certain that this Sister Liu was not someone that Sister Fei had temporarily bribed.

Her mission was to monitor Lan Mengxia.

The question is, Ling'er has been dead for so many years, why does Fat Sister want to monitor Lan Mengxia, who is already half-mad?

"madman!"

As I was thinking, Fatty Lin nudged me and gestured towards the intersection ahead. I looked up and saw a smiling face—it was the girl I'd met at the airport.
