Hong Kong Island: From a small stall to a global supplier

Chapter 54: Rising Reputation and the Fourth Right
When Wang Yaotang opened the system panel, his heart began beating violently.

Is there any gold content in the double flower red stick?
Is there any value in working in a police station?
Has your reputation skyrocketed?
How to spend so much reputation?
Just ask how you spend it!
I can’t spend it all, I can’t spend it all!
As his reputation increased, the goods in the reputation store increased further, and Wang Yaotang couldn't wait to start browsing.

The sports category has added "Wing Chun", "Hung Gar", "Tan Leg", "Tai Chi", "Bagua Zhang", "Tong Bei Quan" and so on.

In the knowledge category, there are directly "fashion design", "industrial design", "mechanical processing" and other subjects covering many comprehensive knowledge categories.

The special category now has 'Steel Elixir (Permanent)' and 'Scroll of the Faerie Witch' available for direct purchase.

After looking around, Wang Yaotang was a little dazzled.

After being pierced with the double-flowered red stick, it can be expected that the police and underworld people will definitely be targeted for some time in the future, which is quite dangerous.

The police have to abide by the law when doing things, which is relatively easy to deal with, but there may be those young people in the underworld who are crazy about becoming famous, so after thinking for a long time, I first set my sights on sports.

In theory, as a Hongmen disciple, one should learn Hongquan first, but...

After reading the introductions to various ancient martial arts, Wang Yaotang finally set his sights on Baguazhang.

Baguazhang: Also known as the wandering Baguazhang, it is a traditional Chinese martial art that focuses on changing palm techniques and walking and turning. It is one of the three major internal martial arts, and it cultivates both internal and external aspects, and has the effect of strengthening the body and consolidating the foundation.

Effect: Slightly improves agility, flexibility, flexibility and responsiveness, and enhances the perception of danger.

Click to buy.

[You purchased Baguazhang, spending 500 reputation points]

[Current reputation: 1955/2925 (Hero)]

A large amount of knowledge poured into his brain, and a little man was practicing quickly in his mind: three shapes and three postures, three voids and three combinations, three circles and three tops…

Under the feet, the main movements are lifting, stepping, swinging and buckling, rotating left and right, continuously, rolling, drilling, wrapping, dynamic and static, supporting, combining hardness and softness, and coexistence of odd and even.

With the hands, you can push, support, lead, carry, block, intercept, detent, catch, and take... you can advance and retreat, combine the real and the fake, and have endless changes.

The man lay on the ground, his whole body beginning to twitch slightly, as if he had been numbed by electricity.

However, the lighting in the detention room was not very good. Everyone was overly excited during the ordination ceremony and were a little listless at this moment, and no one noticed that something was wrong with Wang Yaotang.

It was not known how much time had passed before Wang Yaotang opened his eyes and moved his body, causing a series of crackling sounds.

Having acquired new skills, he really wanted to show off and perform some Baguazhang to shock the old guys, but since the occasion was not right, he gave up.

With nothing else to do, I looked at the remaining 1955 points and thought about what to buy. After browsing the store, my eyes fell on the special category.

[You purchased Iron and Steel Mixture (permanent), costing 500 reputation points]

[Steel Potion (Permanent): Directed growth of the body in a certain direction]

[You use the Iron Potion (permanent), and your height increases by 1CM] Last time I wanted to increase my height, but due to Guan Jiahui's influence, I added it to the wrong place. This time, I finally feel comfortable.

Just when Wang Yaotang and others were bored in the detention room, everything outside was in turmoil.

This time the Governor of Hong Kong got angry and the boss was scolded. The Police Force dispatched more than 8000 police officers to carry out a large-scale sweep of places where community activities were most rampant, such as Causeway Bay, Western Fantasy, Wan Chai, Tsim Sha Tsui, Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok, and Tsuen Wan.

The sirens started blaring at 7:30pm and continued until 10pm.

Nightclubs, KTVs, bars, mahjong halls, saunas, stables and gambling dens under the names of Xinji, Tiaolin, Shenghe, Shuifang, Donglianshe and other associations were completely raided.

As soon as the police car stopped, dozens of police officers rushed in, skillfully turned on the headlights, shouted to stop the music and began a comprehensive inspection.

For a while, there was chaos and confusion.

The bigwigs watching the show were extremely anxious, but they had to cooperate with the police inspection.

"What's going on? Why didn't you notify us?" At the largest nightclub in Causeway Bay under the name of Xinji, Ji Bao looked at the inspector who led the team with a wry smile.

"What are you doing? Do you think the people above you are all idiots? They can't find anything after they come here. You might as well just call the boss and tell him that there is a traitor in the police force." The inspector leading the team said unhappily.

"Why such a big fuss?"

"Oh, I didn't read the newspaper. The East Union News Agency's Shark Kun was so brave. The Newspaper Association contacted all the major newspapers last night. This morning, from English current affairs and financial newspapers to third-rate tabloids, they were all reporting on triad violence disrupting the business environment. If you didn't know, you would think Hong Kong Island was occupied by triads."

"Fuck his mother!" Ji Bao gritted his teeth in anger but could do nothing about it.

Nine out of ten gangsters are brainless, and the remaining one is simply a fool who can do anything stupid.

Last year, a gangster stole the rearview mirror of the Governor's car...

There is still a long way to go to improve the quality of the team!

Now that things have come to this, what can we do? A sweep won’t hurt any bones, and there is no way we can go against the Police Department.

I can only lie down and let my brother vent his anger.

This anti-gang storm operation is just a show for the Police Force.

The actual effect on improving public security and the rule of law in Hong Kong Island is minimal and will be nothing more than a passing fad.

For major social groups, this was an unexpected disaster but the losses were not great and the matter will be over if they keep a low profile for a few days.

But for the media, this is a carnival, a perfect embodiment of the media's exercise of the 'fourth power'!

The fourth power: refers to the fourth political power besides the "executive power", "legislative power" and "judicial power", namely the media and public hearing.

It is what the media often says: 'The public has the right to know'.

After this action, the media's ability to interfere in administration, judiciary and elections will be greatly enhanced.

Of course, we cannot say that the police action was completely useless.

The results are still very significant.

More than 500 criminals who were involved in drug abuse, drug trafficking and silver sales were arrested in major entertainment venues.

At the same time, more than 150 underground gambling dens were destroyed and more than people were arrested.

This is not the greatest achievement.

The sudden attack and one-by-one checks caused some people with guilty consciences to flare up and create a lot of chaos at the scene, but the police dispatched too many people and eventually all of them were arrested.

A total of more than 40 wanted criminals of various types were arrested!

This is an act of unity, an act of victory, and an act of inspiration.

The media fully exercised the "fourth power" and returned the favor. The next morning, they were full of praise for the Governor, the British Hong Kong government, the Big Brother and the Police Force.

Hong Kong Island has once again become the safest city in Asia.

It has become the brightest pearl in the Queen’s crown…
