Hong Kong variety show: My handsome son, Kwan, is a master at making money in Hung Hing.

"so what should I do?"

Zhu Wanfang asked in despair.

"It's very simple. I'll just take action."

The lines may be a bit cringey, but they're undeniably powerful.

Zhu Wanfang was taken aback: "Mr. Qin, do you have a solution?"

Qin Tai chuckled and said, "Minmin is a reserved and well-behaved girl. She usually doesn't use my name to show off. You probably don't know my nickname in the underworld. Let me introduce myself, my name is Daozai Tai."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wanfang's eyes widened in astonishment as she stared at Qin Tai.

Knife Boy Tai, Hundred-Man Slayer, Blood-Handed Butcher...

Such titles have long been spread among those delinquent teenagers and gangster girls, making them absolute idols for all delinquent teenagers!

Even she, a well-behaved girl who didn't pay attention to the affairs of the martial arts world, almost had calluses on her ears. All sorts of legendary versions came out, with descriptions like three heads and six arms, blue face and fangs, leopard head and ring eyes, and tiger back and bear waist.

She could hardly believe that the real Daozai Tai was so refined and approachable, like a noble young master from a powerful family.

A surge of hope welled up in Zhu Wanfang's heart. If it really was this important person who stepped in, he would definitely be able to help her out of this predicament!

"Thank you so much, Mr. Qin! I'm extremely grateful for your help!"

Zhu Wanfang was overjoyed and thanked her repeatedly.

"You're celebrating too soon!" Qin Tai waved his hand dismissively. "Why should I help you?"

Zhu Wanfang's smile froze instantly, and she stammered, "I...I'm Xiaomin's classmate and best friend..."

Qin Tai sneered: "Oh, just a best friend? You're so brazenly taking advantage of me, I thought you were Xiaomin's biological sister."

"You think you can just get something for nothing? Have you gone crazy from all your studying? You have to pay for things, but you expect to get favors without paying a price?"

"This 'cool guy' is a fanboy, and he even has a gun. He's ruthless and vicious. I went to great lengths and put in a lot of effort, just for a thank you from you? Who do you think you are?"

Getting something for free is not a good habit; you should never indulge in it.

Zhu Wanfang's face turned pale and then red as she was scolded. She said nervously, "Then, then you name a number. I'll pay you back with interest when I make money in the future!"

"Can you afford it?" Qin Tai's famous line came out without hesitation. "I make millions a minute. How much trouble and delays would it cause for you? Go out and ask around. I'm the boss in Mong Kok. How much would it cost to get me to step in? Do you have the capital?"

Zhu Wanfang's face turned pale instantly. Not only was she penniless, but even her father was just a lazy bum who didn't make a living, and the family had no spare money at all.

"As I just said, the only thing you have to offer is your beauty." Qin Tai revealed his true colors, lifting Zhu Wanfang's chin and saying disdainfully, "You should be glad you still have this asset, because I really dislike your pathetic temper, which is as fragile as paper yet you think you're so high and mighty."

Even though her best friend was a seafood merchant, she didn't forget to earn money to help her pay off her debts. With a white-collar salary of two or three thousand yuan, she helped her pay off five thousand yuan every month. She was so kind and generous, but she was still complained that her money was dirty.

In the end, Zhu Wanfang was driven to desperation by life and followed in Guo Xiaozhen's footsteps. Who was more precious than whom?

Qin Tai was determined to teach Zhu Wanfang a lesson for her arrogance; one should have the proper attitude when asking for help!

"No way! I'm Xiaomin's friend. If she knew you were treating me like this, she would definitely..." Zhu Wanfang's face paled upon hearing this. She hadn't expected another one who was lusting after her body, so she decisively refused.

Qin Tai was too lazy to waste any more words, so he slapped her across the face, instantly clearing her eyes.

"I'm speaking to you politely, and you act all high and mighty. Do I have to resort to some underhanded tactics before you can see reality clearly?"

Qin Tai looked annoyed. This bad temper was just like Tong Keren's. If you respected her ideas and showed even a little bit of a sycophantic gentlemanly attitude, she would immediately become arrogant and take advantage of you.

Conversely, if you take a tough, domineering approach and leave no room for choice, she will obediently recognize reality and honestly cooperate for mutual benefit.

"I'm really annoyed and furious right now. While I still have a shred of interest in you, you'd better be sensible, otherwise, once you walk out that door, you're on your own!"

"I know you still have a glimmer of hope. If you stick with Scarface, you might still have a way out, and maybe Xiao Sa will spare you out of respect for him. Save your breath. The gangsters under Xiao Sa are all prostitutes. Do you think you can be an exception?"

"A underling's life is in the big brother's hands. If he doesn't like you and wants to have you gang-raped, it's just a matter of a word. Believe it or not, Scarface will have to wag his tail and smile as he sends you up."

"I'm really curious to see if you'll still be so high and mighty, looking down on the hard-earned money your childhood friend made by selling himself for you?"

Every word pierced Zhu Wanfang's fragile self-esteem like a dagger. The stinging pain was even worse than the slap marks on her swollen cheeks, causing her to shed tears of grievance.

But who can blame them when every word Qin Tai utters is a stark reality?

She did think that following Scarface might change things, but clearly, that was just wishful thinking on her part. The real outcome would be exactly as Qin Tai had said!

She really needed a powerful backer to protect her. Rather than finding an unreliable Scarface and living a life of constant fear, it would be better to seek refuge with the influential big shot Knife Tai, at least then she could have a peaceful life.

Zhu Wanfang finally faced reality and quickly stated, "Mr. Qin, I know I was wrong! As long as you can help me resolve this matter, I'm willing to pay the price..."

"Let me teach you a rule of the trade. When you're in this business, you have to admit your mistakes and stand up straight when you get beaten! Since you know you're wrong, I want to see you express your apology with concrete actions." Qin Tai leaned back strategically, pressing Zhu Wanfang's head with an annoyed expression, and said hoarsely, "I'm really angry right now!"

Zhu Wanfang: "..!"

"Your performance was less than satisfactory, but your attitude in apologizing was barely acceptable. I'll talk to Xiaosa about it in two days. As the person involved, you should remember to come forward. In the meantime, you should get some rest."

About two hours later, Qin Tai bid farewell to Fang Min and left Shatin.

During this time, Qin Tai, a conscientious and experienced man, gave Zhu Wanfang a long lecture on criticism and the rules of the underworld. This finally made the good student, who liked to take advantage of others and considered herself superior, realize her mistakes and obediently followed behind, humbly seeking advice.

In Qin Tai's eyes, Zhu Wanfang was just like Su Meng in "Under the Zhengyang Gate"—all looks and no substance, and her personality was not as well-behaved and sensible as Fang Min's, making her really unlikable.

However, she is one of the leading actresses in Hong Kong films. If she behaves well, Qin Tai wouldn't mind keeping her as a decorative object. After all, she is a source of free exchange points, and the more the merrier.

In Qin Tai's eyes, Zhu Wanfang was not as valuable as her childhood friend Guo Xiaozhen, who was a seafood merchant. At least Guo Xiaozhen valued loyalty. Since they were both from Portland Street, she could be recruited into Hung Hing and entrusted to Thirteen Sister's care. By the way, she could also plant a seed in St. Yuk Keung Middle School and set up a small branch.

Who can blame them when secondary schools are the biggest stage for classic Hong Kong campus dramas?

Fang Min, in particular, is gentle and obedient, and her reserved nature makes her especially vulnerable to being bullied. Qin Tai is very possessive, and Zhu Wanfang is already his possession, so he will not allow any other scoundrels to covet her. He must provide them with a reliable leader as a bodyguard to prevent any foolish scoundrels from causing trouble.

Shatin is not currently within Qin Tai's sphere of influence, and it's not advisable for the Chung Ching Society to send people there openly to avoid unnecessary friction.
