Hong Kong General: The Departed? No, I am the Hong Kong Island Tyrant

Chapter 152: Thunderous Sweep of Crime, the End of the Society! [Subscribe]

The police force's anti-gang operation has finally begun.

O Ji, Anti-gang, Serious Crime Squad, SDS, PTU... multiple police departments joined forces to launch a thunderous anti-gang storm.

As expected, several first-rate gangs such as Sun Kee, He Kee, the Number Gang, Hung Hing and Tung Sing were all the focus of police attention, with no mercy shown.

This is especially true for Hung Hing!

After all, almost all of the major riots that have occurred in the past few months have the shadow of Hung Hing involved.

In just a few days, many nightclubs, horse pounding, gambling dens, and other places under the various Hongxing gangs were swept up one after another.

Some of the younger brothers were even ambushed by the police when they went to collect the money, and were caught on the spot. They were arrested on charges of extortion, and the protection fees they collected were all confiscated as illegal gains.

All the halls suffered heavy losses.

Although other clubs are slightly better, they are still limited.

Almost every community suffered losses.

Especially for those societies that sell drugs and gain followers, the losses are even more severe.

Once the fan club is wiped out, the loss will be at least tens of millions. The younger brothers who are responsible for moving the fans will be arrested and there is no possibility of bail. They will be directly thrown into Stanley and the minimum prison sentence will be five years or even ten years.

For a time, various communities were complaining.

Some stubborn gangs even go directly against the police.

At 12 o'clock in the evening, the streets were filled with groups of gangsters coming out to parade and demonstrate their resistance.

But the ending can be imagined.

This anti-gang operation was not just decided by the police force, but was an order issued by consensus after a meeting of the top foreigners in the British Hong Kong government. There was no way it would be abandoned halfway because of a few twists and turns.

Any community force that dared to resist would soon be hit even more severely.

Almost every day there are little guys getting arrested for causing trouble, and all the major police stations are overcrowded, waiting for the gangs to pay for their bail.

In this situation, it is not an exaggeration to call it 'the end of Hong Kong's social groups'.

At this point, everyone knew that the police were serious this time, so the leaders of the major gangs issued orders, asking their subordinates to behave themselves and not cause any more trouble.

Otherwise, if things continue like this, I really can’t bear it anymore.

Not only did he suffer heavy losses in business, but the bail fees paid every day just for the number of his subordinates being arrested was a considerable sum.

The key is that you have to hand it over. If your subordinates are caught and you, as the boss, don't care, how can you be a boss in the future? Who will follow you?

But who the hell can bear to pay tens or even hundreds of thousands every day?
Soon, all the societies began to behave themselves and no longer dared to cause trouble.

The atmosphere in Hong Kong Island as a whole seems to have suddenly improved. The harassment by H society that was common before has become rare, and the citizens are full of praise.

The heads of various departments such as the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, the Serious Crime Squad and the PTU appear on the police news almost every day, giving speeches on the police force's determination and achievements in cracking down on organized crime, and receiving praise from countless citizen media.

But people from various major social groups watched with gnashing teeth.

But times have changed, and no matter how unhappy you are, you have to endure it.

After all, this is no longer the era of the Four Inspectors. This situation cannot be solved by just spending some money. With the huge mountain of the Independent Commission Against Corruption pressing down on us, the police will not dare to accept it even if you dare to send it.

Everyone is out here to make money, and they won't go to war with the police just because their place was raided. The worst that can happen is that they will just close down for a while.

When the storm has passed, they are still the ones who call the shots on the street. Those who should open for business will continue to do so, and those who should make money will continue to make money.

However, due to the losses in profits caused by this anti-gang operation, the major social organizations naturally cannot just let it go.

They can't afford to offend the police, but can't they afford to offend the Hung Hing gang?
In this era, it was popular for various gangs to plant spies in the police force, so almost everyone knew that this anti-gang operation was caused by Hung Hing.

It is precisely because the Hung Hing gang has been causing trouble frequently in the past few months, making life miserable for the people of Hong Kong Island and causing several large-scale street fights and riots, that the foreigners organized this anti-gang operation in order to suppress public opinion.

Therefore, most of them were implicated by the Hongxing Group and suffered unexpected disasters.

All of a sudden, all the leaders of the societies called Liang Kun, asking him to give everyone an explanation.

What’s more, they even directly demanded that Hongxing must compensate them for their losses.

But who is Liang Kun?

In the past two years, he could earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars every year by attracting fans, but he can't even afford to buy a luxury car. Do you expect him to lose money?

That is undoubtedly a foolish dream.

Faced with the demands of the leaders of major social organizations, he started cursing on the spot.

Lose money?

Compensate your mother!

Only your society suffered losses, but not our Hongxing?
Even a batch of goods worth more than 20 million that just arrived were sold out. Who should I ask for compensation?
It doesn’t cost money, it costs a life!
If you have the guts, come to war with us Hongxing. Whoever blinks is the son of a bitch!
Faced with Liang Kun's shameless explanation, the leaders of major social organizations were furious, but they just fell for it.

Everyone is out here to make money. Who would have nothing to do every day and like to fight?
If the Hongxing group was not strong, it would be easy to destroy.

But Hung Hing is also a big society, and can be considered the most combative among all the first-class societies. After all, the saying "Hung Hing produces fighters" is not just a joke.

Among the thirteen gangs of Hung Hing, almost every one of them has a group of professional thugs.

If a fight really breaks out, even if they can bring down the Hongxing, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

What's more, the situation in the underworld is so tense now. If we go to war with Hongxing at this time, wouldn't that be courting death?

I'm afraid they would be arrested by the police before the fight even started, and then they would have to pay for bail. So, the matter was eventually left unresolved.

Each society has to bear its own losses.

Meanwhile, Liang Kun was extremely busy because a batch of valuable flour he had provided to Kowloon Walled City was confiscated. He had no time to take care of himself. After he had finally resolved the accountability attacks from various major social organizations, the bosses of various Hung Hing gangs called him again.

Because of the police's crackdown on gangs, all gangs suffered heavy losses, many places were raided, and new gang members were arrested every day.

Not only do they lose a lot of money every day, but the most important thing is that those closed venues cannot open for business, so many of their employees cannot go to work every day, and if they can't work, they can't make any money.

If you can't make money to eat, who would be willing to follow you?
In just a few days, many of the younger brothers have transferred to join other clubs.

If you continue like this, my little brother will run away and lose everything. What's the point of living like that?

There was no other way, these gang leaders could only call Liang Kun and ask him to find a solution.

After all, Liang Kun is the leader. If something goes wrong, who else should we turn to if not you?

When faced with accountability from other societies, Liang Kun can ignore them, but when his own people call him, there is no way he will not show up.

It’s not easy to be a leader!

So, Hung Hing held another meeting.

……

Mid June.

All the Hongxing societies gathered together.

Di Qing also received the news and brought Long Wu and Tang Twelve to the Loyalty Hall for a meeting.

As soon as I arrived at Zhongyi Hall, I saw that many of the hall’s big names had come, gathering in groups of three or four at the door, discussing what had happened in the past few days.

Basically, it's about which place was raided by the police, how much money was lost, which younger brother was followed by the police when he went to collect protection money, how much money was spent on bail after being arrested, etc.

Everyone had sad faces and was complaining. There was no longer the smiling scene that they had at the last meeting.

"Brother Qing!"

"Ah Qing, you're here?"

"Qingzai..."

When they saw Di Qing coming, people passing by started to greet him, and all of them looked at Di Qing with strange, admiring and...envious eyes.

Yes, envy!
During this period, every gang's place was raided, and their followers were arrested, and a lot of money was spent on bail.

Only the Temple Street and Shanghai Street areas under Di Qing's charge had been prepared early on. Nightclubs, bars, saunas and other places with a bit of shady business were removed in advance, and black businesses such as horse stalls, horse stables, and gambling dens were directly closed down, so when the police checked the cards, they couldn't find a single hair.

This is also true for the protection racket business.

It is said that Di Qing had transformed his subordinates a long time ago and opened a security company. He signed contracts with shop vendors in Temple Street and Shanghai Street, collecting money on time every month. The protection fees were also said to be regular security and cleaning fees. He paid taxes normally every month, and the police could not find any evidence to catch him.

Compared with other gangs, the one Di Qing was in charge of suffered almost no losses.

Not only did he manage the society's business in an orderly manner, but his own private business was also booming.

He invested in the movie "Young and Dangerous" himself. At first, because Brother Kun ordered all the brothers in the society to show their support, the box office was raised a lot, and there was suspicion of ticket fraud. Therefore, many societies were waiting to see the joke, and some even bet that the movie would not be popular for half a month.

But now, half a month has passed, and the box office has not only shown no downward trend, but has become more and more popular. I heard that the cumulative box office has exceeded 20 million, ranking first in the total box office list in June.

The cumulative number of moviegoers has approached one million.
You know, the total population of Hong Kong Island according to government statistics is less than six million. That means almost one in every six people has seen this movie. Although some of them may have watched it repeatedly, it does not affect the popularity of this movie at all.

There were all kinds of people going to the movies, especially teenagers and gangsters. No matter where you went, you could hear people discussing this movie.

There is no doubt that the movie has been a huge success, and Di Qing naturally made a lot of money.

We all came from the same background, but now the gap is so huge, how can we not admire and envy them? !
"Hello everyone!"

"Shengfan, long time no see, is your boss Dinosaur here?"

"Ah Hao, you're here so early?"

Di Qing greeted everyone in turn with a smile on his face.

He was dressed in a suit, had his hair combed back, and wore a golden Rolex on his wrist. He looked gentle and refined, and looked more like a businessman than a gangster.

When we got to the conference room on the second floor, it seemed even more chaotic.

Several people who were in charge, including Big Brother B, Brother Ji, Fatty Li, Dinosaur, Xiyan, Han Bin, Ashin, Feilong, etc., came and started arguing with each other.

"Fuck, these damned cops not only raided my nightclub and horse stable, they even went after my gambling den. Last night, one of my places was raided and over two million in gambling money was confiscated. Those rotten gamblers have been pestering me all day, demanding compensation from me. I'll pay with my life!"

"That's right! Damn it! I asked my little brother to collect the debt, but the gang of scoundrels in the mobile unit, one named He Wenzhan, actually brought people to hide in the alley to arrest people in advance, and insisted that I was blackmailing him, causing me to lose more than 600,000 yuan. Fuck!"

"You're still lucky. When I went to collect debts, I was investigated and fined for loan sharking. I can't do business like this anymore!"

A group of decision-makers sat around the conference table, sighing and groaning, all with grim looks on their faces. It was truly an exciting scene.

After standing at the door and listening for a while, Di Qing smiled slightly and walked straight in.

"Boss, long time no see. You all seem to be having a hard time lately!"

Hearing this, everyone turned around to look.

When they saw Di Qing, the scene suddenly became quiet.
