Hong Kong Movies: I am Hongxing, what the hell is the intelligence king?

Chapter 435 Times Change

Lin Feng was speechless after Huang Bingyao's actions.

"Do you have a preferred candidate for the position of head of the West Kowloon Police Headquarters?"

Huang Bingyao suddenly snapped out of his daze, recovered, and asked excitedly:

"Mr. Lam, may I decide on the successor to the West Kowloon Headquarters?"

Lin Feng glanced at him:
"General Manager Huang, your status is different now."

“The deputy director of the police station is already a very high-ranking official in the station. You should think about this like a chess player.”

"You are no longer a pawn to be manipulated; you are the player."

"A deputy director sounds impressive, but a deputy director in charge of operations seems even more powerful."

"But you have no one under your command, so you're useless."

Huang Bingyao nodded repeatedly.

Lin Feng said calmly:
"Now the foreigners are in power, and it has to be said that their influence is still great."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have made such a secret plan."

"If you want to become a deputy director in name and in fact, how can you do it without someone under your command?"

"If you want to recruit subordinates, you have to offer them some benefits. Who will work for you if you don't do it for them?"

Huang Bingyao said bitterly:
"It's not that I don't understand this principle, the problem is I don't have the ability to promote someone to a higher position!"

George grinned:

"Inspector Wong, you've been smart all your life but made a foolish mistake this time."

"Lin Sheng said this because he wants to help you do a favor."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have the ability, Lin Sheng does."

Huang Bingyao was pleasantly surprised:

"Really, Mr. Lin?"

Lin Feng looked at him with disdain:
"You fatso, you usually seem so sharp-witted, why are you acting so stupid right now?"

Huang Bingyao smiled wryly:
"I know what you mean, but I never expected such a great windfall to fall into my lap."

Lin Feng mocked:
"How can a pie fall from the sky?"

"If you weren't sent by your hometown, I wouldn't have helped you."

Huang Bingyao nodded repeatedly.

Lin Feng asked:

"Have you figured it out?"

"Whom are you planning to put in charge of at the West Kowloon Headquarters?"

Huang Bingyao immediately said:
"Chen Xinjian".

He explained,

“Chen Xinjian is one of my old friends. He is an upright man, loves his hometown, and is very capable.”

Lin Feng nodded slightly:

"Alright, the one taking over the West Kowloon Headquarters is this Chan Yan Kin."

"You can go back and tell him now."

Huang Bingyao expressed his deepest gratitude.

Lin Feng waved his hand:
"Just do your job well."

Huang Bingyao made up his mind that from now on he would follow Lin Sheng's lead.

Seeing that Lin Feng had nothing to say, he respectfully took his leave.

Lin Feng said to George:
How's things going on your end?

George shrugged:

"There is no problem."

"The matter of the tycoon is a tacit understanding between the Fog City and the Governor's Mansion."

"The nobles of the Fog City are eager for the tycoons, big and small, to go bankrupt. That five billion Hong Kong dollars is a considerable sum for the current Onsa government."

"The Anssa government was almost bankrupt; they really don't discriminate between meat and vegetables."

"A tycoon might be a big shot in Hong Kong, but who would know him in Onsa?

"As for the Governor's Mansion, the young tycoon previously ordered his workers to cause trouble in the streets."

"The Governor's Mansion hates him to an unimaginable degree."

"There was absolutely nothing we could do before, since he was the son of Hong Kong's richest man and a young tycoon."

"After the Tai Fu Hao Group was acquired by Hung Hing, the Tai Fu Hao family has lost the right to be enemies with the Du Ye Mansion."

"How could we not kick someone when they're down at this time?"

George understood it quite clearly.

In a money-driven society, money isn't everything, but you can't do anything without it.

With money, you can do whatever you want; without money, you can only let others do whatever they want.

Lin Feng nodded slightly:

“Your idea for Cunningham is very good. Let’s continue next time.”

George was overjoyed:

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from Lin Sheng."

“If you cut the weeds without removing the roots, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows.”

"Since the big and small tycoons are gone, it's safest for us if their families also die."

Lin Feng nodded slightly:

"Yes."

"There's only one way to keep friends in this world: change your enemies."

George's expression was one of fanaticism:

"Lin Sheng is wise."

Lin Feng asked:

"Do you need my help to get promoted?"

George thought for a moment, then shook his head:

"It's better not to use it."

"The Cunningham family's background and connections with the Military Intelligence Bureau are enough."

"It's better to handle these kinds of things in Chongqing."

"Mr. Lin, I think you should let me handle Huang Bingyao's matter as well."

"Hong Kong has not yet returned to its homeland, so it is inconvenient for you to use your connections."

"It's more suitable for me to do it."

Lin Feng thought about it and agreed:
"Okay, then you can handle it."

George smiled.
"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Lin."

Lin Feng simply nodded:

"Work hard and follow me, and I won't treat you badly."

George was incredibly grateful.

Seeing that Lin Feng didn't say anything, he bowed respectfully and took his leave.

Li Fu came up and asked:

"Brother Feng, is George really someone we can trust?"

Lin Feng nodded slightly:

“You can trust me.”

"Of course, this applies to me."

"It's best not to trust him from your hometown."

Li Fu frowned, puzzled:

"Is he not trusted?"

Lin Feng chuckled:
"This guy comes from the military intelligence agency, so naturally he knows the secret that no one can control the world."

"But in his eyes, I know everything."

Li Fu asked, puzzled:
"Brother Feng, you must know everything."

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head:

"wrong!"

"I only know a little about things that are related to me."

"Coincidentally, I know everything about George."

The words were so roundabout that it took Li Fu a while to understand them.

Li Fu scratched his head:
"That's not wrong, is it?"

"You truly know everything to George."

Lin Feng smiled:

"So, he's just my follower."

Li Fu said in astonishment:
"believer?"

Lin Feng nodded slightly:

"George is just my follower, not the follower from his hometown."

“He will listen to what I say, but he's not brainless.”

"He also has his own selfish motives, and even more so, his own code of conduct."

“I can order him to do things, but it’s best not to tell him about things back home.”

“If it’s not something I ordered, he can easily report it to the Military Intelligence Bureau.”

Li Fu murmured:
"Is that so?"

Lin Feng shrugged:

"That's it."

Li Fu said solemnly:
"I understand."

"But Brother Feng, what if this guy goes astray..."

Lin Feng said coldly:
"die!"

He explained,

“From today onwards, George will never be a fan again. He is my follower and will naturally learn my preferences.”

"you do not need to worry."

"Anyone in my faction who touches my powder deserves to die."

"This is an ironclad rule."

Li Fu was relieved.

Just then, someone cautiously walked over.

Li Fuqi said:

"Jun, is something the matter?"

The newcomer was Axe-Hand Jun. He hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"Brother Feng, Lao Lin from Xinji wants to pay you a visit."

"He got through to me..."

"You see?"

Lin Feng chuckled:
"You are my disciple, how can I not give you face?"

Axe-wielding Jun was overjoyed:
"Thank you, boss."

Lin Feng glanced at him indifferently:
"I heard that there was internal strife at Xinji, and Lao Xiang and Lao Lin are having a huge fight."

"So you're planning to side with Lao Lin?"

Axe Jun quickly shook his head:
"I was born a member of Hung Hing, and I will die a member of Hung Hing. What does the internal strife of the New Records have to do with me?"

"However... people in the martial world are often not in control of their own destiny."

"When I was at Xinji, I received a lot of help from the two people in charge."

"I no longer owe Lao Xiang anything."

"Old Lin came to me for help, so I couldn't refuse."

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow:
"Are you repaying a favor? Or are you speaking up for him?"

Axe-Head Jun smiled wryly:

"You flatter me too much, boss."

"I'm just your younger brother, how can I make decisions for you, sir?"

"I've come here simply to repay a favor."

Lin Feng clapped his hands:
"Free things are always the most expensive."

"Friendship is priceless; it's best to repay favors as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, it might cost you your life."

These words startled Axe Jun.

Lin Feng added, “You are my younger brother, and you have entered my family, so there is no need for you to belittle yourself.”

"What can you do if you want to act as a guarantor for someone?"

"He's just a mere new clerk."

"Ah Jun, our statuses are not what they used to be."

“You haven’t changed your identity.”

"You alone have a thousand ways to make Xinji wish he were dead."

Axe-Hand Jun was deeply moved and speechless:

"Boss, can I do that?"

Lin Feng laughed heartily:

"Why not?"

"Never mind, you'll figure this out gradually."

"Alright, where is Lao Lin? Take me to see him."

Axe-wielding Jun exclaimed in surprise:
"Boss, I can just call Lao Lin over. There's no need for you to go see him in person, is there?"

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head:

"You say you don't understand your current status, but you do."

"You say you understand your current status, but you don't."

"You're my younger brother, I have to repay your favor in full."

Axe-wielding Jun felt a warm current flow through him, and his heart warmed.
"Thank you, boss."

He pointed into the distance and said,
"It's inside that restaurant."

Lin Feng smiled and said:

"Let's go!"

Axe-wielding Jun, in high spirits, led the way.

The tycoon is now the richest man in Hong Kong, and he still gives me such a lot of face; it's something to be proud of.

The new organization implements a dual-person system, with two separate entities, one in the legitimate world and one in the criminal world.

Old Lin is the head of the gang, in charge of all underworld forces.

Xiang Yan is the leader, in charge of the legitimate forces, and also holds the moral high ground of the organization.

These two combined represent the highest level of martial prowess in the New Bureau.

The two had worked together for decades, but unexpectedly, they broke out in internal strife as they grew old.

Old Lin was waiting alone outside the door. When he saw the three figures, he quickly bent down and went forward.
"Mr. Lin, I'm so glad you could come."

This person is hardly the leader of any gang; he's more like a blue lantern that's not even on the underwater roster.

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head:

"Old Lin, you're a senior in the martial arts world, no need for so much formality."

Old Lin's old face beamed with joy.

His gaze toward Lin Feng was filled with extraordinary respect, and when he turned to look at Axe Jun, his eyes were also full of gratitude.

Once the guests and hosts were seated, Lin Feng said bluntly:

"Old Lin, we've met before at the Jianghu Conference."

“Ah Jun has also spoken to me about your character many times.”

"Let's skip the formalities and just get to the point."

Old Lin immediately said:
"Lin Sheng, I beg you to do me justice."

Axe-wielding Jun was stunned. Was it really that direct?

Lin Feng really does fall for this kind of thing; he doesn't like fancy stuff, he prefers things to be straightforward.

"Old Lin, you and Old Xiang have been partners for many years, so just say what's on your mind."

Old Lin smiled wryly:
"I really need your help in this matter."

“The New Records is different from ordinary gangs; it operates on a dual-leadership system.”

"Although Lao Xiang is a well-known figure in the underworld, he doesn't follow the underworld, but the legitimate path."

“We did all the dirty work for him.”

"This guy's hands are spotless, but his heart is blacker than the most ruthless guy in the martial arts world."

"We've endured it all these years."

"But I can't tolerate what happened this year."

"One is Ah Jun's transfer."

At this point, Lao Lin quickly made a statement.

“It is Ah Jun’s good fortune to be able to follow you.”

Let's stick to the facts.

"After all, Ah Jun is one of the Five Tigers of Xinji, a leading figure in Xinji."

"Old Xiang has offended you, and he has a hundred ways to beg for your forgiveness."

"But he allowed Ah Jun to switch sides without holding a meeting of the Loyalty Hall."

"This has ruined Xinji's reputation."

Lin Feng smiled, neither confirming nor denying:

"Old Lin, I'm the one who benefited from this."

“Ah Jun is a good man. I’m very happy that he has become my student.”

Axe-wielding handsome man's face turned green, and his gaze towards Old Lin held a hint of hostility.

Good grief, I only introduced you to my boss out of kindness, and you're making things difficult for me?

Good deeds never get rewarded.

Old Lin's attention was entirely focused on Lin Feng, and he didn't notice Axe Jun's gaze at all. If he had noticed, he would definitely have regretted what he said.

"Yes Yes Yes."

"But there is another matter that is not just a family matter for our Xinji."

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows, intrigued:

"what is that?"

"tell me the story."

Old Lin quickly said:
"The water station issue."

"Mr. Lin, your Hung Hing Group with Mr. Li has set a good example for us."

"It makes us realize that those who roam the underworld are not necessarily incapable of rising to high positions."

"You are now the richest man in Hong Kong, and you are the breadwinner of hundreds of thousands of people."

"If you say one word, even the governor wouldn't dare disobey."

"Your prestige is at its zenith."

“Hung Hing has been transforming for a long time, and we also want to transform, but we don’t know where to transform.”

"Hung Hing has set a good example for me."

"Through Hung Hing, we realized that seemingly insignificant small businesses that are run legitimately can be so profitable!"

"Convenience stores and water stations are businesses that make a lot of money."

"That water station was built by you."

"This was originally a business that would benefit fellow martial artists, but unexpectedly, Lao Xiang was so greedy that he swallowed it all up at once."

“When I tried to reason with him, he actually said that all we lowly gangsters need to do is look after the place.”

"Mr. Lin, you have to stand up for me!"

Lin Feng took out his cigar box. Li Fu, with his keen eye, went straight over it, carefully trimmed it, lit it, and then handed the cigar to Lin Feng.

He exhaled a large smoke ring.

Lin Feng said casually:
"Old Lin, do you know why you've been unable to beat Old Xiang all these years?"

Old Lin shook his head:
“I am not a family member.”

Lin Feng shook his head:
"wrong!"

Old Lin asked in bewilderment:
"what is that?"

Lin Feng smiled:
"Your perspective is limited."

Old Lin was puzzled.

Lin Feng smiled and said:
"My status is different from yours now."

"Don't even mention you, my status far surpasses that of most people."

"It's not like ordinary people can just see me whenever they want."

Old Lin nodded repeatedly. This was the truth; otherwise, he wouldn't have asked his former student, Axe Jun, for help.

Lin Feng said calmly:
"Let alone the gang leader, even the head of the police station or the foreigners in the political department, if they want to see me, they have to use the word 'pay their respects' and 'request' to see if I will agree."

"I spend tens of thousands of dollars every minute, and I finally managed to find the time to listen to you, and this is all I get?"

Old Lin's expression suddenly changed.

Lin Feng's pride and arrogance filled the entire room:
"Do I need to deal with this kind of ridiculous nonsense?"

“I’m saying you lack perspective, and you don’t need to deny it.”

He casually pointed at Axe Jun.

"If you have a broad enough perspective, you don't need to ask me; you can just ask my disciples."

“This is just a small-time gang; any one of my disciples can easily control it.”

"Given your relationship with Ah Jun, wouldn't it be easier for you to ask him than me?"

Old Lin's face flushed red and then turned pale.

It was only at this moment that he realized where he had gone wrong.

Lin Feng stood up and said, "I don't care about the mess your new branch makes."

“But I bet you’re about to have a shootout.”

"Here's a piece of advice for you."

"In your infighting, whoever loves their country wins."

"do you understand?"

Old Lin looked extremely ashamed.

Seeing Lin Feng get up and walk out, Old Lin hardened his heart and gritted his teeth.

thump!
He immediately knelt down in front of Lin Feng.
"Mr. Lin, I, Old Lin, am willing to follow your lead. Please, do me justice."

Lin Feng turned around and looked at Old Lin:

"They do have a decisiveness."

"But where were you all this time?"

Old Lin smiled wryly:
"I...I was blinded by jealousy..."

Lin Feng smiled and tapped him:

"That makes sense!"

He turned and gave the order.

“Ah Jun.”

Axe-Head Jun quickly stepped forward:
"Boss."

Lin Feng casually said:
"From now on, the new records will be under your management."

"Old Xiang is too hypocritical, I don't like him."

"Old Lin is good, let him take over."

Axe-wielding Jun was both surprised and delighted:
"Boss, am I...can I do this?"

Lin Feng sighed:

"You think I was lying just now?"

"What is your identity?"

"Being able to speak to them calmly and patiently is a way of giving them face."

"Just a new reporter!"

"If you're unhappy, why don't you just make Xinji disappear?"

Old Lin was terrified and quickly pleaded with Axe Jun for mercy:
"Ah Jun, please help me."

Axe Jun originally had some issues with Lao Lin, but he was a man of loyalty and affection, and after Lao Lin said that, he hesitated.

He finally nodded.

Old Lin breathed a long sigh of relief.

Lin Feng gave Axe-Head Jun a deep look:
"Since you agreed to it, you shouldn't regret it."

Axe-Head Jun quickly said:

"Boss, I know what to do."

Lin Feng then said to Old Lin:
"I still maintain that whoever loves their country will win!"
