Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

"You're the smartest one among my men. I have something for you to do later." Spicy Ginger changed his clothes and said to Su Xingbai, "Come on, I'll tell you as we walk."

Soon, Spicy Ginger led Su Xingbai to Yiyong's territory.

"What's this?" Su Xingbai asked in surprise. "Isn't this Yiyong's territory? What are we doing here? Do you intend to attack Taishan?"

Spicy Ginger sneered and said, "That old bastard Taishan, it won't be that easy to defeat him. If brute force doesn't work, we'll outsmart him. I'll go buy some goods from him later. After the transaction is completed, you hide under one of his trucks and follow them to the warehouse. Then, set fire to Taishan's warehouse."

"Huh?" Su Xingbai's eyes widened upon hearing the plan: "What about Mount Tai?"

Spicy Ginger said calmly, "You don't need to worry about this. I, Taishan, will handle it. But be careful not to get caught, okay?"

Su Xingbo nodded: "I understand, Spicy Ginger Bro."

"I know you've been unhappy lately because you didn't get the identity of the main body," Spicy Ginger said, patting Su Xingbai on the shoulder. "But if you handle this well, I'll definitely mention it to Brother Lie."

After saying that, Spicy Ginger got out of the car and walked into the alley where fruit was sold.

Since Crippled Ho was arrested and Lei Luo fled, the Yi Yong gang, once the largest gang in Chaozhou, has long since declined.

Not only are they not ranked among the major triads in Hong Kong, but they also have to hide in remote corners like Sham Shui Po and Tsuen Wan to make a living.

This is a matter of foundation; after all, once Limpy Ho was arrested, the Righteous Army really couldn't find anyone capable of leading the way.

Unlike established gangs like Xinji, Hezitou, and Haozibang, whose foundations have always been unshakable despite their ups and downs, no one has been able to shake their roots.
Of course, there is one very special group among them, and that is Hung Hing.

However, it seems that Hung Hing is no longer on the same track as Hong Kong's triads.

Although the Hung Hing signboard still exists, and the Loyalty Hall has not been removed.
However, the leaders of Hung Hing all turned to legitimate business.

For example, Dafei is now running Hongxing Entertainment very successfully and spends his days going to high-end places with various celebrities.

Take, for example, Leung Kwan, whose construction business is thriving. I heard he's recently landed a lot of big deals, all in collaboration with Fok Ying-nam's real estate company.

This has created an extremely strange phenomenon, as if Hung Hing has transcended the category of gangsters.

Let's get back to Yiyong. Although Yiyong runs a fruit stand business, which is a source of income, he still has a job.

However, the main source of income was not from this legitimate source, but from the laundry detergent and ketamine business hidden in the fruit stand.

Therefore, the locations of the volunteer militia are mostly small street vendors.

When Spicy Ginger walked over, Taishan's men immediately surrounded him, thinking that this guy was there to cause trouble.

"Taishan, what a grand welcome!" Spicy Ginger pushed aside his two underlings and said to Taishan, who was sitting in front of the fruit stand.

Taishan said coldly, "You Yifeng and we Yiyong have always kept to ourselves. What's the meaning of your people constantly coming here to cause trouble lately?"

Taishan has been quite irritable lately. Yifeng and his gang of bastards are acting like they've taken expired Viagra, constantly causing trouble at his place.

Although both sides had their wins and losses, Taishan was still very unhappy.

Spicy Ginger had already prepared his explanation and said with a smile, "I think you should have heard the news by now. The cops have taken over our Yifeng's power. Every brother is eyeing his laundry detergent business. They just want to show off, crush the other establishments, and get a share of the spoils from the uncles."

Taishan mocked mercilessly, "Hey, Wei Xue is selling laundry detergent, have you ever heard of that?"

"No, we've never heard of that." Taishan's underlings burst into laughter.

Taishan said disdainfully, "Making yourself half-dead from messing around with laundry detergent, how pathetic! Looks like this piece of pork isn't very fatty. Coming here to cause trouble, do you think I'm already dead?"

Spicy Ginger chuckled and said, "Let me be honest with you. I have no interest in playing these childish games with them. I want to establish my own brand. Do you have any goods to supply me?"

Taishan sneered and said, "There are plenty of people outside who want my goods. The Hong Kong market is currently empty. Who do you think you are, Spicy Ginger? You think I'll just give you the goods you want?"

"Let's chat. What will it take for you to sell me the goods?" Spicy Ginger said with a good-natured smile.

Taishan had his men bring over durians, and with a sneer, he said to Spicy Ginger, "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you split open a durian with your hands, I'll give you a kilogram of it. If you split open a hundred, I'll give you a hundred kilograms. What? Can't you handle it, or are you too scared?"

Spicy Ginger said calmly, "You just want to vent your anger. Stop playing these pointless games. I'll buy the goods from you at double the market price. You're not going to turn down money, are you?"

As he spoke, Spicy Ginger took out a bag of money and scattered a large handful of banknotes on the ground.

"Wow." Seeing the banknotes all over the ground, not only Taishan's underlings, but even Taishan himself showed a look of joy.

He said to the spicy ginger, "I like it, and now I like you too. Send two people to get the goods for him."

The two henchmen received the order and immediately got up, went to the alley entrance, and started a truck.

Obviously, the warehouse is not located in this area.

However, the two henchmen did not notice that someone had already hidden under their car.

They drove all the way to the warehouse, where Su Xingbo, who was hiding under the truck, seized an opportunity to slip into the warehouse and hide.

I then witnessed two henchmen take the goods from a cramped warehouse and leave quickly.

After the two left, Su Xingbo came out, shook his head and said, "That bastard Spicy Ginger is quite formidable. I just wonder how he'll deal with Taishan."

Su Xingbai shook his head, deciding not to think too much about it and simply followed Spicy Ginger's instructions.

They pried open the warehouse lock with a wire and tweezers, then poured gasoline inside.

He then lit a cigarette and flicked it toward the warehouse.

The sparks collided with the gasoline, immediately igniting a raging fire that engulfed the entire warehouse.

Su Xingbo took out his camera, recorded the scene before him, and then immediately left the scene.

He didn't want to be caught red-handed by the volunteers.

Meanwhile, after receiving Su Xingbai's message, the spicy ginger was ready to pick up the goods and leave.

But at that moment, a large number of police officers suddenly appeared from all directions and took everyone into custody.

"Taishan, you" Spicy Ginger's acting is amazing, looking at Taishan with a surprised and angry expression.

Taishan was also somewhat at a loss when faced with the scene before him.

This fire effectively burned away the advantage that Yiyong had worked so hard to gain.

Now, Yiyong, who once dominated the market, is back to the same level.

But to everyone's surprise, Spicy Ginger had another shady move: he called the police to arrest himself.

Upon hearing that Spicy Ginger had been arrested, Su Xingbo immediately sent the video recording to Chen Jiajun.

"So, Spicy Ginger has now called the police and arrested himself?" Chen Jiajun looked at Yaqi with a strange expression.

Yachi nodded: "Although we don't know why he did it, according to our information, this guy has indeed been arrested and taken to the police station. If he's convicted like Tarzan, he probably won't be out for several years."

Chen Jiajun tapped his fingers on the table, then said calmly, "There must be something we don't know about. Keep people watching."

"I understand, boss, but what about Su Xingbo?" Yaqi asked hesitantly.

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "Tell him to calm down. With the personality of someone like Spicy Ginger, he would never put himself in such a dangerous situation. I suspect he may have some backup plan, so it's best to tell him to stay put."

Meanwhile, inside the Sham Shui Po Police Station.

Taishan and the others were put in solitary confinement, where the police officers began to take their statements.

But Spicy Ginger, with her hands cuffed to the interrogation table, yawned listlessly.

They seemed completely unconcerned about their situation.

A moment later, a middle-aged man wearing glasses pushed open the door and walked in.

Spicy Ginger immediately shouted exaggeratedly, "Sir, I just happened to be passing by and went in to pee. Going to the toilet isn't illegal, is it? Release him quickly."

As she spoke, Spicy Ginger raised the handcuffs on the man's hands.

The middle-aged man smiled and turned off the video recorder in the interrogation room.

Then he took out the key and unlocked Spicy Ginger's handcuffs, and said calmly, "Your acting is too exaggerated."

Spicy Ginger immediately smiled and said, "Don't be so harsh on me, Inspector Gong. The fact that I've never been exposed in all these years without being sent to infiltrate Yi Fung proves that I'm a top-notch actor."

This statement sounds simple, but probably no one expected it.

One of the candidates for the next leader of Yi Feng, and the most powerful leader in the entire Yi Feng, turned out to be an undercover agent sent by the police.

Moreover, he was the head of the Criminal Intelligence Division, Gong Jiapei's direct subordinate.

Gong Jiapei smiled and said, "Taishan has been caught red-handed this time, and the police have begun to formally file charges against him."

"With so much ketamine seized, he could be sentenced to many years in prison," Spicy Ginger said casually.

Gong Jiapei frowned and said, "However, at the same time, Taishan's warehouse was also burned down. Don't tell me this has nothing to do with you."

Spicy Ginger laughed and said, "You wouldn't believe me even if I said it had nothing to do with me."

Gong Jiapei said sternly, "Why didn't you inform me? Since you knew where the warehouse was, if you had just informed me, I would have sent the anti-drug team to raid it. Why did you take action without my permission?"

Spicy Ginger had clearly prepared his explanation beforehand, and said with a serious expression, "Actually, Taishan is just a small fry. The real big fish is Mo Yilie. He somehow managed to get another five tons of ketamine from Thailand, with the aim of monopolizing the ketamine market in Hong Kong."

"He kept this a secret very well. No one in the triad knew when he bought the goods, let alone whether his shipment had arrived in Hong Kong."

"I want to use this Mount Tai incident to gain merit and climb the ranks, so that I can get close to him and extract information from him."

Spicy Ginger spoke with such conviction that nine-tenths of what he said was true and one-tenth was false, so much so that even Gong Jiapei couldn't tell whether Spicy Ginger's words were true or false.

He could only sigh and say, "Mo Yilie is truly a cunning old fox. While we were attacking his stables, he ran off abroad to sell ketamine. You stay by his side and report to me immediately if anything happens."

"Okay, I understand." Spicy Ginger said, about to stand up.

“By the way, I don’t want history to repeat itself like what happened in Taishan, do you understand?” However, Gong Jiapei still gave him a warning, saying, “I forgot to remind you, no matter how good your acting skills are, the underworld is just your stage, not your real life.”

"OK, I understand," Spicy Ginger said rather perfunctorily.

Having been a policeman for so many years, he can no longer distinguish his own identity.

He used both identities with ease, as if he were born to do this job.

He used the police's influence to help him take down Mo Weili, his long-time nemesis, and then used the police's influence to eliminate the very tough Taishan.

Now that he has cleared all his obstacles, if things go as expected, there is a high probability that he will be the chairman of Yifengdi in the next election.

What will happen to my identity as an undercover agent and a gang leader then?
"No wonder the boss told me to hold back. I didn't expect Spicy Ginger to come out of the police station so quickly." Su Xingbo was quite surprised to see Spicy Ginger swaggering out of the police station.

However, he didn't show it, but instead walked up and called out "Spicy Ginger Bro".

Su Xingbo had put in a lot of effort today, so Spicy Ginger specifically praised him in front of his subordinates.

Moreover, they also knew that Su Xingbai's true identity could no longer be concealed.

If things continue like this, the other party might start to have second thoughts.
He had witnessed firsthand how that treacherous Su Xingbai had managed to kill Mo Weili, and he didn't want to end up like that unlucky Mo Weili, being tricked and killed for no reason.

However, Spicy Ginger was also very careful. Even though he found out Su Xingbai's true identity, he would not give him any subordinates.

What Spicy Ginger wants is an obedient and clever subordinate, not to cultivate a competitor for himself.

"Well done, keep up the good work and make money with me from now on." Spicy Ginger said to Su Xingbai with a smile, "Let's have a late-night snack together."

"Brother Spicy Ginger, this is awesome!" a group of underlings exclaimed excitedly.

Although outsiders thought it was the police who raided Taishan, the underlings and people inside Yifeng knew that it was Spicy Ginger who was behind it.

According to what the manager said, ketamine will now be managed by Spicy Ginger.

This means that in the future, these underlings will also be able to make a fortune from this industry.

For low-level gangsters, this is already a great thing.

The next day, on Mo Yilie's yacht.

Mo Yilie specially invited Spicy Ginger and Su Xingbai to join him.

Spicy Ginger handed Mo Yilie the video of the burned-down Taishan warehouse, which immediately made Mo Yilie very happy.

He couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Brilliant, brilliant!" Mo Yilie kept praising, "While they were fighting tooth and nail, Spicy Ginger, you only used a little money to get Taishan to sell you goods, and then you took the opportunity to find their large warehouse. While having Mike set it on fire, you called the police. You wiped out Taishan in one fell swoop, absolutely brilliant."

Spicy Ginger said modestly, "I'm just taking a gamble."

“You did a very clever job,” Mo Yilie said with a smile. “You know what? Even the Yiyong people thought it was just Taishan’s bad luck, and no one suspected you at all. That was a really brilliant move.”

However, at this point, Mo Yilie raised his own question: "By the way, you were there at the time, how did you escape from the police?"

It's no wonder Mo Yilie was suspicious, as Hong Kong police have always cracked down hard on businesses dealing in things like laundry detergent.

Even a tiny bit will be relentlessly pursued by them. (End of Chapter)
