Chapter 238 The Raven's Death, the Approval Machine (Two Chapters) [Burst Update, Please Subscribe]

Kowloon
Li Wenbin put down the phone and called out to the door.

"Bold"

"Li sir, what are your orders?"

"Take two teams to Mong Kok and arrest someone."

Li Wenbin removed the photo from the whiteboard and threw it in front of his subordinate.

"What did he do wrong, Dongxing Crow?"

Most police officers are familiar with these underworld bosses, and upon seeing the photo, Da Yan immediately recognized Crow's identity.

Crow acts recklessly and, relying on his status as a member of the East Star, has committed numerous crimes. Da Dan had previously encountered Crow, but unfortunately, no evidence was found to subdue him.

Once they learned that the person they were going to catch was Crow, their excitement level soared.

"Just find some excuse to arrest him and lock him up for two days."

"what?"

Da Dan was stunned. He thought Li Wenbin was a sure thing, but it turned out that nothing had even happened yet. Why arrest someone without any evidence?

Li Wenbin, look over here.

"Bring the man back first. I'm going to find the evidence right now. Hurry up, don't waste time."

"yes sir"

He saluted boldly, walked out of the office excitedly, clapped his hands and called his colleagues over. No one in Li Wenbin's team doubted his abilities, and they all obeyed his commands and arrangements.

They acted immediately. No evidence? No evidence. It's just a matter of being arrested and locked up for two days. These gangsters have a lot of history to tell, so finding a reason is too easy.

As for evidence, that's not their concern; all they care about is finding a way to arrest people.

The reason why his subordinates trust Li Wenbin so much is due to his previous performance; Li Wenbin can find ways to obtain information that others cannot.

Li Wenbin could find evidence that others couldn't, and over time, people in his team came to believe that he had connections in higher positions.

Otherwise, how could they be so well-informed and able to hit exactly where they're told?

This time will certainly be no exception.

In fact, this kind of thing is very common in the police system. Who has a background and who gets promoted quickly are all things that can't be kept secret. Most people are actually more willing to follow those who are capable and have connections.

A seasoned hoodlum once said, "What if you're neither capable nor ruthless enough? Then find someone with ability and connections to protect you."

Li Wenbin's subordinates, having tasted the benefits of his achievements several times, followed his orders without question.

This is also why Li Wenbin is good at using workplace relationships; he is also cultivating his own power base so that he can make plans for the future.

"This time, I'm determined to get a promotion."

Mong Kok
Crow led his men into Thirteen Sister's territory.

He wasn't causing trouble; he was asking for help. The Wo Shing Wo gang was too powerful, with more people and more money, and he couldn't handle them, so he had no choice but to ask Sister Thirteen for help.

After all, they're both in Mong Kok, and Sister Thirteen is quite powerful, especially after Chiang Tin-sang inexplicably helped her recruit people last time, which made her even more formidable.

Thirteen Sister already has money, and with the help of Han Bin and others, she is currently very powerful in Hung Hing. If Thirteen Sister is willing to take action, she can definitely defeat Big D.

"Sister, your dad used to be one of our Dongxing brothers, we're all family. Last time I had dinner with Uncle Ben, he mentioned you. Big D went too far. You have to help me this time."

It's hard to believe that Crow, such an arrogant and domineering fellow, is actually begging Thirteen Sister for people in a humble manner, even calling her "Sister Sister."

Across from Crow, Thirteen Sister, with short hair and a suit, took a sip of red wine. Her expressionless face, yet exuding a domineering aura unlike that of a typical woman, was quite different.

“Crow, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, it’s just that Mr. Chiang gave orders not to interfere in the conflicts between other gangs, so I can’t do anything about it.”

Thirteen Sister crossed her legs, sneering inwardly. This crow's head is really stupid. Who did he come to deal with?
Li Jiayuan!
Isn't this crazy? Her territory is right next to Yau Ma Tei, and it's only a short distance from Li Jiayuan's stronghold, Baoling Street. How can she be sent to deal with Li Jiayuan?
If the property management company retaliates against her, does she even want to keep her Portland Street? Besides, she has no connection with Crow, so why should she offend Li Jiayuan, a behemoth, for Crow's sake?

What is Thirteen Sister's status? What is Li Jiayuan's status? He's a business tycoon. It's not like she can crush him with a single word. How can they compare?

Only a brainless crow would think of going against Li Jiayuan; he's too long-lived and courting death.

Moreover, she knew that even Jiang Tiansheng was now doing business with Li Jiayuan. Jiang Tiansheng already disliked her and Han Bin, so if she went against Li Jiayuan, wouldn't that be offending Jiang Tiansheng?

There's another matter: Li Jiayuan's men have already spread the word in the underworld that this matter stems from Crow's actions against students at schools under the Jiayuan Group. It's a personal grudge, and anyone who gets involved is considered to be on Crow's side.

This is clearly a warning to all gangs not to help Crow, so why would she deliberately court death?

Taking all factors into consideration, helping the crow is neither realistic nor beneficial.

Besides, she herself disliked Crow, so there was even less reason for her to help him.

Upon seeing Thirteen Sister bring up Jiang Tiansheng, Crow immediately understood what she meant, and his expression changed drastically. If even Thirteen Sister was unwilling to take action...

Just then, Crow's phone rang.

A series of slashing sounds came from the other end of the phone.

"Brother, there's an ambush!"

The crow was completely flustered, covering its face, not knowing what to do, wondering how there could have been an ambush.

Li Jiayuan guessed that he was going to make a move. It's over, this time it's all over.

Crow wasn't stupid enough to think he could handle Li Jiayuan plus Big D. Big D alone was making him very uneasy. Since Li Jiayuan sent people to ambush him, he must have known that Crow was up to no good.

I've been exposed!

The crow's legs went weak, and it let out a cold snort.

"Walk"

His only option now is to run away. Every step he takes is dangerous. Li Jiayuan is ruthless, and those he targets never have a good ending.

As soon as Crow stepped out of Thirteen Sister's bar, two police cars rushed over and stopped.

Sensing something was wrong, the crow ran away from me, chased by a dozen policemen, while none of his henchmen came forward to help.

There are two reasons. Crow is not good to his underlings, and although they don't say it, they all harbor some resentment.

Secondly, the crow has offended some people and is clearly about to be removed from office; they are unwilling to work as police officers for the crow's sake.

They can still tell the difference between being full at one meal and being full at every other meal.

The crow was physically fit, but it couldn't withstand the pursuit and interception of more than a dozen policemen, and was eventually caught and pinned to the ground.

"Let go, I need to find Law."

"let me go."

Crow was arrested, as expected. Countless eyes are watching Mong Kok, and Crow was a powerful figure there. Now that he's down, a fierce battle is sure to ensue.

However, the property management staff acted even faster, and since Big D had already cleared out most of the area, his people had been loitering around the neighborhood.

They drove away those opinionated groups and handed over the property management staff as soon as they arrived.

Upon seeing the standard uniforms worn by the community property management staff, all the groups that still had ideas backed down.

Some people were unaware that Li Jiayuan was going to take action against the crows. When they met with the people from the Jiayuan Property Management, they were all confused. After some inquiries, they finally found out.

Good heavens! Who has offended this old man again?

Li Jiayuan declared that any gang or organization would be strictly prohibited from recruiting underlings at any school under the Jiayuan Group. Any such individuals found would be dealt with, and those with problems would be summoned to the Jiayuan Group headquarters in Central for a face-to-face meeting.

That's how arrogant and domineering he is, yet no one dares to openly oppose him, at least not openly.

When Crow was arrested, Camel and other members of the East Star organization received the news immediately. Camel's various hall masters and some elders gathered together to discuss the matter.

Losing one crow is a minor issue; the real problem is the loss of Dongxing's reputation and territory.

Camel now feels like killing the crow. That guy has never been well-behaved for a single day; he's either causing trouble for the gang or on his way to cause trouble.

This time, they even got involved with Li Jiayuan.

Although Camel did not agree to Li Jiayuan's proposal, he still warned his men after returning, saying that those schools belonged to Li Jiayuan, and that it was okay to take on followers, but not to go too far.

This crow knew perfectly well that the students at that school had connections with that bastard Li Jiayuan, yet it still deliberately stirred up trouble. Now look what happened, it's gotten itself into trouble.

Everyone knows Li Jiayuan's methods. Once Crow is arrested, it's practically impossible for him to get out. Now they should think of a way to take back Dongxing's territory.

Crow's territory wasn't actually that big. He made his money through shady dealings without relying on others to run brothels. Those who did shady dealings were all rich, and Crow was rich too. With money came followers.

Strictly speaking, Crow's territory wasn't even as big as Thirteen Sister's Portland Street, but it was still a place. Besides, Crow was one of the Five Tigers of Tung Sing. If he was captured and Tung Sing didn't react at all, it would be as if he were dead.

But Camel is in a dilemma now. Not long ago, Li Jiayuan had treated him to a meal, which was very kind of him. Now this kind of thing has happened, and it's hard for anyone to save face.

"Camel, you're the leader now. You'll be in charge of this matter. You'll be responsible for negotiating with Li Jiayuan and getting the territory back. What do you think?"

Uncle Baitouweng is the most prestigious and senior member of Dongxing, second only to Camel, and has a great deal of influence within Dongxing.

“I told you last time not to provoke the property management, but you didn’t listen. This time, Crow can’t protect its territory. As for the territory, let’s talk to Li Jiayuan first.”

"Boss, when have we at Dongxing ever suffered such a loss? Let Cola take some men and raid Li Jiayuan's place."

The speaker was called Ah Bao, a high-ranking official in Dongxing, but unlike others, he belonged to Uncle Ben's camp.

"Did you even think before you spoke? Who is Li Jiayuan? If you really offend him, can you bear the responsibility?"

Before the camel could speak, the woman beside him angrily rebuked Ah Bao. Ah Bao lowered his head, somewhat displeased, and did not refute.

The woman's name is Shui Ling, Camel's lover, and also the one who helps Camel manage Tung Sing. Camel is more capable than Uncle Ben and is not a pushover. In his youth, his rise to power can be described as another Chan Ho-nam, and Shui Ling is his admirer.

The camel pressed down with its hand and looked at Ah Bao.

"You play by the rules of the underworld, but they play by the law. You hire someone to raid their territory, and they call the police to arrest you."

No matter how many men you have, can you withstand the pressure from a chief superintendent, or take down a Special Duties Unit (SDU)? Times have changed; violence is a thing of the past. Use your brain.

The camel may have once had some ambition to compete with the Jiayuan Group, but since attending the Jiayuan Group's victory celebration banquet, his thinking has completely changed.

They are not from the same circle as Li Jiayuan at all. Li Jiayuan associates with the top tier of wealthy people, bosses and tycoons in Hong Kong.

They may seem glamorous, but they're actually rotten people.

Those people in high society could be dealt with with a single word. Back then, James, a mere policeman, was targeted by Hung Hing, who had to promise to give up Portland Street as their territory in order to find someone to kill him. That's how the story of Sister Thirteen rising to become the boss of Portland Street came about.

Not to mention business tycoons like Li Jiayuan, who associates with people like superintendents, chief superintendents, and even commissioners.

This is not of the same magnitude at all.

Camel knew very well that they could talk to someone like Li Jiayuan because Li Jiayuan came from the Wo Luen Shing triad and was also a member of the underworld.

Otherwise, these second-rate fighters wouldn't even be qualified to meet anyone.

From the day of the victory celebration, Camel made up his mind not to provoke Li Jiayuan, even if it meant suffering a loss.

If we lose our territory, then we'll seize the territory of other gangs. If we need to recruit underlings, then we'll recruit them in other people's territories. In short, we can't give Li Jiayuan any excuse or opportunity to make a move.

Camel was undoubtedly a man of great wisdom, and everyone within Dongxing respected him. So the matter was settled, and Camel was to handle the negotiations.

Goodness, this crow seems to have done quite a few bad things; the reward is pretty good.

The Hong Kong dollar and that tiny bit of support were completely ignored by Li Jiayuan.

His eyes gleamed with joy and excitement as he looked at the prompt in the middle.

Fragments! The last three fragments were finally collected, and he couldn't wait.

【synthesis】

[Support Rate Generator *1 (Support Rate Generator, can be used)]

This is the approval rating generator? Hmm, it looks pretty ordinary.

In front of Li Jiayuan, an old-fashioned telegraph machine appeared.

After saving up for so long, this is all I've managed to produce.

It's rusty, grayish-green, and has an antenna on top. There's a game called "Five," and this thing looks a lot like the decoding machine in that game.

After carefully studying the description of this thing, Li Jiayuan roughly understood how to use it. It was similar to the function of a halo, binding a group together.

As for what kind of group this is, there is no specific limit. As long as it is a group, then anyone in this group will continuously generate support.

This improvement process is slow and has an upper limit; the key is perseverance.
Where should it be used? This question posed a challenge for Li Jiayuan.
