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

Chapter 468 Damn Bureaucrats

"Brother Feng, what should we do?"

"There are readily available methods."

Li Fu was greatly encouraged:

"what way?"

Lin Feng said softly:
"The Golden Club is doing a good job; I'm planning to snatch it away."

Li Fu asked in astonishment:

"Does the Golden Club still have good deals?"

He then became somewhat surprised and uncertain.
"Expansion of Sham Shui Po Pier?"

Lin Feng smiled and said:
"That's right."

"We are now in the golden age of trade."

"The number of merchant ships worldwide will increase over the next decade."

"Hong Kong is a free port and a bridge connecting to our hometown, which is a unique advantage."

“The existing docks are not enough.”

"Sir Li is a bad person, but he has a very sharp eye."

“He was right, the expansion of Sham Shui Po is imperative.”

"That's exactly what we need to do."

Li Fu reminded him:
"The Golden Club's methods are extraordinary. They collude with government, business, police, anti-corruption agencies, and organized crime. Do you think we can compete with them?"

Lin Feng laughed heartily:

"Little Fu, you've forgotten one thing: we are the biggest government-businessmen in Hong Kong."

"Without the involvement of the Hung Hing Group in Hong Kong, many things would be impossible to handle."

"The Golden Club is very powerful, but that's in comparison to traditional triads."

"If they were to face us... do you think the Golden Club would dare to blunder?"

"We can crush them with money."

Li Fu smiled wryly:
"Our identities changed so quickly that I'm still a bit disoriented."

"The former Gold Club was a behemoth."

Lin Feng shrugged:

"So you need to adapt as soon as possible."

"Don't even mention you, everyone in Hung Hing, from Brother Kwan down, has to adapt."

"Some methods are no longer acceptable."

"At the very least, we must ensure that even if certain methods are used, they cannot be linked to us in the slightest."

Li Fu understood immediately:

"We need to build more firewalls."

Lin Feng laughed heartily:

"That's right, it's about building some firewalls."

Li Fu asked:

"So what should we do about the Golden Club?"

"Take them in?"

Lin Feng's expression turned cold:
"I have no interest in taking over drug-related groups."

Li Fu nodded slightly, thinking, "That's definitely Feng-ge's style."

Gangs inevitably bully people, but as long as they don't bully ordinary people, Brother Feng won't interfere.

It's inevitable for organizations to do business, but there are some businesses they shouldn't touch.

It's just like heroin!

Li Fu completely agreed with Lin Feng's decision on this point.

To be honest, you should absolutely throw away heroin far, far away.

"Brother Feng, should I handle them?"

"Should I do it myself, or should George contact New Union?"

Lin Feng thought for a moment, then shook his head:
"This matter can be left to George to handle."

"However, Xinliansheng... it's probably best not to involve them in this matter."

Li Fu was puzzled:

"Isn't Xinliansheng designed for this purpose?"

Lin Feng explained:
"Have you forgotten how the explosion happened?"

Li Fu suddenly awoke:

"If Lin Huai Le is killed, that's a big deal."

Lin Feng sighed:

"The person behind Lin Huai Le is George."

"At that time, George set a test for Lin Huai-le in order to complete the mission in Chongqing."

Li Fu frowned and said:
“Ah Luo is a policeman; he should understand the importance of this matter.”

Lin Feng disagreed:

"Have you ever heard the saying, 'When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you'?"

The more familiar you are with something, the more those things will influence you.

Li Fu felt that these words were truly profound.

Lin Feng said calmly:
“We all know that Ah Luo is an undercover cop, but he has been involved in triad activities for years.”

"You know how low the moral standards of traditional societies are."

"Ah Luo is in the midst of it all, so it's inevitable that he'll be tainted."

"Do you know what the first thing an undercover cop does after returning to the police station is?"

Li Fu had a sudden inspiration:
"Go get a psychological evaluation!"

Lin Feng clapped his hands and said:
"Yes."

"We often say that you shouldn't force yourself into circles you can't fit into."

"Police officers and gangsters are two fundamentally incompatible groups."

"The consequence of forcing yourself to fit in is that your mind becomes distorted."

"One side is bound to be influenced by the other side."

"Then tell me, who will be affected by whom?"

Li Fu smiled wryly:
"Ah Luo will be affected, won't he?"

Lin Feng nodded heavily:

"Yes, the weaker party will be affected."

"Unfortunately, as an undercover agent, A Luo naturally had to be very careful. If he wanted to avoid being exposed, he had to outwardly collude with the people of Xinliansheng."

"He, a policeman, violated his own principles, yielding to the demands of his mission without realizing that he had changed."

"Actually?"

Lin Feng shook his head.
"He has really changed."

"There are certain things he would absolutely despise in the past."

"But now, it's completely taken for granted."

“You can say that A Luo is a good person now, but he is definitely not a good bad person.”

Li Fu seemed to be deep in thought:
"After Ajax joined, our Thunder team started to build up its mental health services."

“Every person who returns from an operation will have a conversation with a psychologist.”

"It seems that this system will be maintained for a long time."

Lin Feng agreed:
"That's right, we must persist and increase investment."

"You came from the battlefield."

"You should know more about post-war syndrome than I do."

Li Fu's heart tightened, and he nodded emphatically.

Many soldiers experience severe withdrawal symptoms after leaving the battlefield. Some are even unable to reintegrate into normal life, and some even have trouble sleeping at night.

When I close my eyes, all I see are scenes from the battlefield back then—a hail of bullets, a sky full of artillery fire, and limbs and severed bodies scattered everywhere…

Lin Feng shook his head:

"Although A Luo does not have war syndrome, he has actually been influenced by Xin Lian Sheng without realizing it."

"Plus Luo Zonglun's death, plus the psychological suggestion I gave him..."

“Ah Luo is already a qualified leader of the gang.”

Li Fu exclaimed in astonishment:
"The psychological suggestion you gave him?"

"What it is?"

Lin Feng said bluntly:
"Back then we were quite weak, and we had a good tool like A Luo, so we might as well use him."

"Of course I should help him so that he can fulfill his wish."

Li Fu understood immediately—A Luo's so-called wish was probably to avenge Luo Zonglun.

In this respect, Lin Feng truly left Luo Zhiming with no regrets.

The price...

“A Luo is a very loyal person, and Luo Zonglun holds a very important place in his heart.”

"If he knew that George had been involved in this whole affair, do you think he would give George a hard time?"

Li Fu thought for a moment and shook his head:
"will not."

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow:
"What's the reason?"

Li Fu spoke the truth:

“Ah Luo must be aware of the consequences of doing this.”

"He would never do such a thing."

"George is no longer what he used to be; he's now the Security Bureau of Hong Kong."

"It can be said that all six disciplined services in Hong Kong are under the control of the Security Bureau."

"For the sake of Xinliansheng, A Luo dared not do anything to George."

This is like an egg hitting a rock.

No normal person would make such a choice.

Luo Zhiming is a normal person, of course, and he would not choose to do that.

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head:

"Don't underestimate A Luo."

"This person has a fire burning inside him."

"We're only tolerating this outrageous thing now for the sake of the livelihoods of tens of thousands of Xinliansheng disciples."

"In addition, I have already given him an explanation, which is enough to quell his resentment."

"But he was a warrior after all."
"We shouldn't provoke him."

“If George were to stay with him, A Luo might go to extremes.”

Li Fu immediately fell silent.

Loyalty every slaughter dog generation.

Since Brother Feng said that A Luo was capable of doing such a thing, then he would definitely do it. Li Fu never doubted Lin Feng's judgment; no matter how contrary to common sense or how outrageous the latter's actions were, the former would always believe him.

There's no other reason than that Lin Sheng is capable of anything!

Lin Feng's most ardent fans were not George, but his close brothers—Li Fu, Li Jie, and Wang Jianjun.

These people trusted Lin Feng more than George did, and were willing to take bullets for him.

"Then, who should we entrust with this task?"

Lin Feng smiled and said:
"What's so hard about this?"

"Have George contact Liansheng or Hexingsheng."

“These gangs are all backed by foreigners.”

"Don't use our brothers."

Li Fu was taken aback:
"Are the forces behind Heliansheng and Hexingsheng foreigners?"

Lin Feng said calmly:
"Those long-standing triads, they were able to persist in Hong Kong for so long without the support of powerful backers. Otherwise, they would have been wiped out long ago."

"There's absolutely no reason to be surprised."

Li Fu nodded with a heavy heart.

Hong Kong was colonized by the Anglo-Saxon for nearly a century, and the Anglo-Saxon's influence penetrated deep into all parts of Hong Kong. It was simply a joke to think that the triads would resist the Anglo-Saxon.

Although traditional gangs were initially formed by poor people banding together for mutual support, those gang leaders were no different from ordinary people.

However, once everything is tainted by money, its nature changes completely.

The organization quickly degenerated, transforming from a mutual aid group into a criminal syndicate.

Since they are criminal groups, in order to survive in normal society, they must have something to rely on to integrate into that society; in other words, they need a protective umbrella.

Various powerful forces act as their protective umbrella.

For example, Xinji and Haohaobang are followed by Yiwan.

Most of the companies with the "和" prefix have Ang Sa as their backer.

As for Hung Hing... it's a rising star.

During Jiang Zhen's time, Hung Hing was just a "small" triad. There were probably dozens or even hundreds of such triads in Hong Kong, and they really weren't qualified to catch the eye of those big shots.

Hung Hing's true rise to power occurred during the time of Chiang Tin-sang, a man of questionable character but exceptionally talented in managing a triad.

With Hung Hing in hand, the Twelve Hall Masters system was established, and Hung Hing rapidly expanded into a behemoth.

Jiang Tiansheng abdicated before he could even become a disciple of a powerful figure.

After taking over, Liang Kun never even considered finding a backer for his gang.

What's the point of joining a club? Wouldn't it be better to switch careers and make money?

Besides, his half-brother Lin Feng was adept at social maneuvering and got along quite well with various forces.

All factions recognized him as one of their own.

Then Hung Hing would need even less backing.

At least they don't need a backer in the open.

However, Hung Hing was an exceptional case, an extremely special one.

Such organizations are definitely not representative.

Learning both literary and martial arts skills to serve the emperor – this was the norm in traditional societies.

This is the reality of Hong Kong triads; if they want to survive, they have no other choice but to follow this path.

Almost all the triads in Hong Kong follow this path, even the arrogant and domineering Chung Yee Shun; they all have the shadow of the Anssa people behind them.

Some people say that the big water pipe behind Zhongyixin is Uncle Si.
What a joke, Fourth Uncle is just a figurehead.

You're a fan of mine. How dare you be so arrogant? Do you really think the police are just for show?
It was only Anssa who did the work.

Otherwise, do you really think that loyalty, righteousness, and trustworthiness can sweep across Hong Kong?
Li Fu, having recovered his composure, said:
"I understand."

"I'll inform George later and have He Xingsheng take charge."

Just as Lin Feng was about to speak, the phone rang.

Li Fu looked at it and handed it over:

"Brother Feng, this guy is easy to talk about."

"It's a call from George."

Lin Feng took the phone and laughed:

"George, do you have any good news to share with me?"

George laughed:

"Lin Sheng, you can't hide anything from me."

"Indeed, there is good news. I have already reported the intelligence you gave me to Fog City through the Telecommunications Department."

"I heard the cabinet held a meeting overnight."

Lin Feng shook his head:
Is bureaucracy really that bad in Chongqing?

"They're clearly cooperating with America to harvest the red bears, don't they believe my judgment now?"

George said angrily:
"How could those bigwigs in Chongqing not know the importance of this news?"

"They know."

"It's just that they're blinded by greed."

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow:
How so?

George's voice was deep:

“I heard it from the Duke of Cunningham.”

"The operation against the northern bear has begun."

"I heard that Ansa and Ame have made up their minds to break their promise."

Lin Feng instantly understood:

"So, when the Red Army implemented shock therapy, the West didn't intend to inject funds?"

George bluntly stated:
"of course."

“The various republics of the Red Bear are all very fond of the West, and they are fervently eager to receive Western assistance.”

“Especially the hot money from America.”

"However, even when Aramco provided aid to Europe, it only helped them resume production, and the money was mostly earmarked for specific purposes."

"The Red Bear actually wants to repeat the Marshall Plan from back then."

"They genuinely believed that the Western world would accept them after they surrendered..."

"For a leader of diodes to be so naive, I don't know what to say."

Even gang members know that only dead enemies are good enemies.

Lin Feng mocked:
"It's definitely Western style."

George sighed:
"Unfortunately, the officials of the Fog City have been blinded by the current situation."

Lin Feng mocked:
"It seems they've made quite a bit of money off Red Big Hair."

George nodded vigorously:
"That's right!"

"However, Grand Duke Cunningham gave me another answer."

"While the Western world has certainly achieved a great deal in the disintegration of the Red Bear, these achievements are more in terms of reputation."

"At least that's the case with Onsa."

"They don't actually make much profit."

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow:
"Amei snatched it away?"

George's voice was devoid of any emotion:

"That was almost inevitable."

"But the prospects are too great. When Fog City saw Amei eating, they were envious to the point of madness."

Lin Feng picked up the conversation:
"I understand what you mean."

"With Amei as an example, Chongqing also wants to take a big bite out of the northern bear, right?"

George solemnly said:
"That's true."

"With such huge profits, who wouldn't be tempted?"

"They judged that the red bear wouldn't last too long, but it could hold out for two or three years."

Lin Feng laughed heartily:

"He was indeed blinded by greed."

"Even a senior agent of the Telecommunications Department like you isn't trusted?"

George was completely disillusioned with the Fog City.

"Even a discerning person would think that the red bear wouldn't last two years."

"But those greedy bureaucrats thought that the red bear could hold out for another two or three years."

"This completely contradicts mainstream judgment."

"However, they were blinded by greed and refused to listen to any advice."

"However, the Telecommunications Department had a very high opinion of the intelligence I submitted."

"It's already underway with the Duke of Cunningham."

“A very high-level group has entered the Red Bear region and is contacting the First and Second Prime Ministers.”

Lin Feng smiled and said:

"Grand Duke Cunningham's judgment was very accurate. The two republics that are the constituent republics of the Red Bear are indeed promising."

"If we corrupt both of them, the Cunningham family will be absolutely stuffed... no, they'll be stuffed to death!"

"You will receive the Duke of Cunningham's commendation."

George curled his lip:
“I don’t care about any Cunningham family awards.”

Lin Feng said gently:
"This is good for you."

“George, you should know that the higher your position, the more you can help me.”

George's face was holy:
Your wish is my mission!

"Don't worry, sir, I will do my best to climb forward."

Lin Feng laughed heartily, quite satisfied with George's attitude.

"Well then, newly appointed Security Bureau Chief George, I happen to have something for you to do."

George said in a deep voice:
"What are your orders, sir?"

Lin Feng casually said:
"Hung Hing has just become the largest conglomerate in Hong Kong and urgently needs a successful project to boost the morale of its members."

"There's a project at the Gold Club that I can use to practice."

George was taken aback:
"The Golden Club? It's just a club made up of a few foreigners and local Hong Kong thugs?"

Lin Feng said softly:
"That's right, that's it."

"I need your help!"

George immediately said:
"Sir, what kind of project is that?"

Lin Feng smiled and said:
"Sham Shui Po Pier Expansion".

"Sir Li and the others are doing everything they can to push this project forward. What I need you to do is not to stop them, but to secretly give them a push so that they can get the project approved as soon as possible."

"If the Golden Club can be successfully promoted, I wouldn't mind paying them some money."

George patted his chest and said:
"Sir, leave this to me."

"The Golden Club can easily get rid of them with a few measly coins."

"Give them money? That's giving them too much credit!"
