[help find a story] What happened at the end of this story?

[Hector]

I read it when i was very little, 8 or 9. Unfortunately, back then, i didn't care about
the volumes i bought after reading them, so many volumes were lost during that
period. I don't know the story's code, i don't know who drew it, but its plot was
so unique that maybe someone will know what i'm talking about.
There is an island with a chinese styled way of life. According to that island's law,
if you save someone's life twice in one day, you have to give that person your
whole fortune. Scrooge goes to that island, for some reason i don't remember.
Beagle boys team up with a local resident and set up two fake accidents, so that
Scrooge, who ignores that law, ''saves'' that resident twice. The deal was for the
resident to share Scrooge's fortune with Beagle Boys, but he betrays them and
keeps everything for himself.
Then, Beagle Boys reveal the truth to Scrooge and offer to help him get back
his fortune, if he gives them half of it in exchange. Scrooge gets back his
fortune. In the end of the story, Scrooge somehow kept all his money, but i
don't remember how. I don't think i had even understood how it happened
when i read that story (when i was 8-9, my perceptive abilities weren't as
good as now).
Anyway, if someone knows that story, can he tell me what happened in the end?

I remember this story! It's this one, right?

I haven't read it in a long time though and I have to look it again. But I know where my LTB 105 is, so I'll report back when I have re-read it!

So, will you tell me or not?

Well, the Italian summary says: chi salva la vita a qualcuno deve cedergli metà delle proprie sostanze

"Whoever saves the life of someone must give away half of their wealth."

I guess this is the story then, according to what you said.

I know it's the story i asked for, but i'm still waiting for someone to tell me how Scrooge was saved.

Ding-dong, here I am. I didn't have the time earlier, sorry.

I re-read it and here's the answer:



When back in Duckburg, Scrooge calls his experts and they say that the document is not valid because it wasn't registered in Kuang-Lao. The Beagle Boys have to go to jail because they parked their trucks in a non-parking zone!



Not such an inspired ending, actually.



Otherwise, your memory is very good, the only things I've noticed: Scrooge saves Ciao-Ping's life not twice, but three times. And the reason Scrooge goes to Kuang-Lao in the first place is because the Beagle Boys had dressed up as various businessmen who wanted to give him a lot of gold for his entire amount of something that he's never heard of (but which, he eventually gets explained, is a valuable saddle cloth made of gold, silk and ivory). Ciao-Ping then informs him that he'll find that in Kuang-Lao and Scrooge, already completely flustered because he is offered lots of money for something he doesn't have and doesn't know where to get it from, quickly takes the trip. And just like he didn't know what the heck those guys were talking about, he has no idea about the local law...
