My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 922 Fighting and killing are still the ways of gangsters
The Hong Kong police also got to appreciate the outrageous number of surveillance cameras in the basketball court and construction area!

A display wall made up of a hundred or so monitors would be quite impressive these days.

In the Western system, this kind of surveillance system is still called closed-circuit television.

They are still moving towards the goal of being able to control the camera to rotate and scan.

Let Weidong not use it. Why make it so complicated? Just add a few more cameras and there won't be any blind spots.

Quantitative change inevitably leads to qualitative change.

The theory was simple, and even the high-ranking police officials nodded in agreement.

Because of his broken hand and the fact that he had connections with the former bureau chief, Wei Dong was spared workplace bullying.

After surveillance systems became popular, he was either arranged to take a nap in the parking lot or lie down for a short rest in the monitoring room.

So seeing this wall full of surveillance footage again feels like stepping back in time.

He could sit in there all day.

Apart from some modified cameras that Pengzhen brought over for testing, all the other equipment was available in Hong Kong.

This is both Hong Kong's strength and its weakness.

Because everything can be bought, there is basically no incentive for local production and research and development; at most, there are improvements and adjustments made by individual players.

Therefore, the Hong Kong police also adopt a "take what you can get" approach, especially since they are enthusiastic about learning and following the practices of European and American countries, and take pride in doing so.

Of course, the police don't care about the development of this industry chain.

Judging from this scene, it's obvious that Wei Dong is trapped like a turtle in a jar, waiting for someone else to make a move.

I originally wanted to discuss whether it was illegal for him to install so many cameras.

But Wei Dong offered a get-out-of-jail-free card: "This is a key patent project researched in collaboration with the Department of Electronic Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong."

The police officers were at a loss for words.

In the past, when dealing with wealthy people, playing the lawyer card usually left them helpless. This newly minted tycoon actually knows how to play the scientific research card.

Rang Weidong wasn't exaggerating: "The police force will definitely be the first to benefit from this."

Pointing to the screen, he explained: "If there's a camera pointing at this place, it will just quietly monitor the scene when no one is around. Only if there's a sudden movement in the footage will the recorder automatically trigger recording. Wouldn't this guarantee long-term loop recording for various recording devices?"

This is the biggest problem with videotape recordings: 180 minutes or 270 minutes is the maximum length of a videotape, and you have to rewind it several times in one night.

One or two units are fine.

The sheer scale of hundreds of units we see today is precisely because this problem has limited our imagination.

Even if you specifically assigned a job to change videotapes, they'd be exhausted.

Once this problem is solved, this surveillance system will likely sell like hotcakes all over the world.

Moreover, Wei Dong truly knew the selling points of this system.

Someone will surely ask immediately: "What about the situation at busy intersections with complex crowds?"

Wei Dong explained skillfully: "This technology solves the problem of most empty and deserted road sections. Just think how much police force this can save, and then we can concentrate our manpower on busy and complex road sections. Isn't that much easier?"

The police leadership must have listened with a thoughtful expression.

Just recently, Wei Dong shot and killed someone on camera. According to procedure, he should be detained and given a statement.

No, it's hard to consider him a criminal from this perspective; his words and actions suggest he's just a colleague.

The story revolves around the ruthless tactics of the "guards" who cleanly and efficiently killed several gangster assassins, as well as a series of related actions taken in mainland China afterward.

This must be a high-ranking police officer!
Therefore, those who came to communicate with him were not detectives from the serious crimes unit, but directly from higher-ups.

Actually, Wei Dong's success was only due to Lao Fang's influence, although his own brand is also quite strong.

This move has greatly excited the relevant departments that are still exploring exchanges with the Hong Kong police.

That's why we have this positive and cooperative situation.

What appears to be a case of a fox borrowing the tiger's power is, of course, a bluff.

The Hong Kong police were also a bit confused, and could only treat it as a successful act of self-defense.

Of course, the biggest reason is that all 18 districts of Hong Kong were in turmoil at the same time!

They also need to focus all their energy on controlling the situation.

The Xin'an gang rose to become the largest gang in Hong Kong in the 1960s and 70s, partly due to the influence of the Right Bank.

The mainland has not intervened in Hong Kong for various reasons, but the right bank can squeeze a city with the scale of a province without restraint, which makes it easy for it to become dominant.

Even the Chief Detective Inspector, who held the highest position in the police force in the 1970s, was a relative of the leader of the Xin'an gang.

That's right, it's that Inspector Lui Lok who's been touted in Hong Kong movies over and over again, a corrupt official who embezzled and took bribes, and whose corrupt collusion with gangsters created a chaotic mess.

This directly led to the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), after which he fled to the Right Bank, taking with him a group of his men, including Cheng Chi-wai's father.

Therefore, throughout the 1980s, the Hong Kong police focused their crackdown on San On.

Last year, more than 20 managers were detained and released only after a series of lawsuits due to insufficient evidence.

Now that Wei Dong is here again, the police will naturally side with him, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Because he's completely different this time.

It wasn't those old, messy gambling debts or protection money accounts; it was three people who died, and even if they were killers, it was still a serious shooting case.

Moreover, it was the mainland police who requested the extradition.

Regardless of whether the Hong Kong government and courts are willing or not, the police are happy to push everything to Interpol.

If we do not cooperate with Interpol, we may be kicked out of the cooperation agreement.

We have many cooperation agreements with the mainland now. If we didn't cooperate this time, all the criminals who committed crimes would flee to the mainland, and the entire security situation in Hong Kong would be ruined. This is the biggest reason why the Hong Kong police have a more cooperative relationship with the mainland than the entire Hong Kong government.

No matter how much the right bank points fingers, it's still hundreds of kilometers away. Pengzhou and Shenzhen are adjacent, while Haizhu is across the river; they're all very close.

It's just that the mainland wanted to take back the assets, but didn't take drastic measures.

So everything is proceeding according to the extradition process.

They are being held in solitary confinement, without the opportunity for lawyers to visit or collude. They are being told to talk to the mainland police, specifically the district-level police station in some prefecture-level city in Hebei Province. They are to go to them themselves; we are only handling the extradition procedures on their behalf.

This is an unprecedented situation in Hong Kong.

The gameplay has changed.

In the past, it didn't matter if you were arrested or tortured. As long as you had evidence and a lawyer, you could pay someone to take the blame and escape the law. At most, you would only be imprisoned for a few years.

Later, even when that notorious thief was arrested for robbing armored trucks and kidnapping wealthy people's children, he was able to escape with the help of lawyers.

Now, because of his connection with this newly rich man with ties to mainland China, he has been directly extradited to the mainland for trial!

That's completely different.

The entire senior management of Xin'an must have been stunned.

Their own internal situation immediately descended into chaos.

Because the entire Xin'an was founded in the 1950s when the previous generation of leaders, represented by You'an, made a huge mess and ran away, scattering into twenty or thirty groups.

They weren't so closely connected, like limbs intertwined.

People like Chen Wenliang have long since distanced themselves from involvement.

But now, gangs like Hop Shing certainly don't have the foresight to see things in the same boat; they'll just be gleefully kicking a dog when it's down.

Take advantage of your illness and kill me three thousand times!

At first, they focused on grabbing the few stores that Cheng Lang pointed out, but later they found that there was no resistance at all, so they had no time to pay attention to them and started frantically grabbing any store regardless of its name.

They fiercely seized territory and engaged in direct street battles!
This is the core strategy that attracts the vast majority of Xin'an's fighting force: leaving those leaders unprotected and making it easy to capture South Asian thugs.

The entire tactical approach, including feigned attacks, main attacks, encirclement, luring, besieging a point to attack reinforcements, and waiting for the enemy to come to them, is quite complete.

Under Cheng Lang's behind-the-scenes command and coordination, Nan Yazi and the police cooperated very well to complete the mission. Each of them happily received two hundred Hong Kong dollars in extra money and quickly returned to the construction site to tie steel bars.

The police also felt an unprecedented sense of relief, and gloated as they watched the dogs fight from all sides.

As long as you don't harm innocent citizens, let's see you fight to the death, and let countless young people who yearn for the life of gangsters suffer the beatings of society.

Do you really think being a gangster is a glamorous and easy job? When conflicts escalate, you're just cannon fodder!
They weren't even considered pawns in the power struggle among the various bigwigs.

They forced Wei Dong and his entire family to work at the TV station, ostensibly to supervise the production of more excellent programs.

The police placed two armored vehicles at the intersection of Wutaishan Road, and no one dared to attack.

Furthermore, Xin'an had no energy left to cause trouble or make a scene; they were already on the verge of collapse due to the attacks led by Hesheng.

They also have to endure repeated ridicule and mockery on television!

Asia Television Information Channel has dedicated a special segment to follow up on this story.

Starting with the accidental collision with a TV station's interview vehicle nearly two months ago, photos, videos, and interviews have been released.
Then, several cars full of gangsters arrived aggressively at the filming location of a residential house, intending to abduct "an actor surnamed Zhou." They found the scene of injured people lying everywhere, a tragic sight, and photos, videos, and interviews were released.
Then this time, the assassination of Mr. Ron Wai-tung, a major shareholder of Asia Television, president of the Hong Kong Basketball Association, president of the Hong Kong Windsurfing Association, and a member of the board of directors of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, was carried out by a hitman. There is surveillance footage and the police's conclusion is that Mr. Ron spoke confidently to the camera, believing in the police, the Hong Kong government, and that Hong Kong is the safest city in the world...

Anyway, he wasn't the one blushing when he said that.

But Wei Dong's identities are truly useful.

They firmly stood on the side of righteousness.

It further ripped the face of gangs that always claimed to be loyal and passionate to the ground and trampled on it.

The whole story is explained very clearly: they saw that someone had become famous after making a movie and wanted to directly poach that person and their film contracts.

If one or two attempts fail, he becomes enraged and kills people, hoping to abduct them after they scatter.

It's that simple, brutal, and without any bottom line.

That's the tradition of the Right Bank.

From its inception, the Kuomintang has developed the habit of resorting to assassinations when it can't handle the big picture.

There have been countless cases like this over the past few decades.

In contrast, Hop Shing doesn't have this bad habit, and 17K, which has slightly less of a right-bank influence, doesn't like to do it either.

Reporters from various media outlets were dispatched to follow the police and film the various scenes of fighting and disturbance.

Even the hourly yoga sessions were suspended and replaced with live broadcasts of the street scenes.

Just ask the citizens if they like watching it.

There were no safety concerns, and the police stood by with smiles on their faces, used to the gangsters' antics and slapstick comedy.

It's awesome, it's addictive.

Meanwhile, the movie "God of Gamblers" is also showing in theaters.

I heard that all these incidents were triggered by this show, so why don't you go check it out?

That's what you call strategy.

They mobilize others to fight, while they themselves make money, build relationships, and watch the spectacle.

A bunch of idiots who only know how to fight and kill in the underworld seem so childish in the face of the big boss's skills.

Xin'an could only bow his head and serve tea.
