Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 17 The First Little Brother of the King's Way

The next day, Liang Kun threw a roll of money at Wang Dao, who was puzzled:

"Brother Kun, what is this?"

Liang Kun explained:
"Your intelligence network is quite good. Keep an eye on Mong Kok and see if there's any useful information for us."

The king's way was silent:
"We just bought some!"

Will there be any more intelligence in the next couple of days?

Liang Kun disagreed:

"Ado, you are still young and have no idea how dangerous society can be."

"Club life is like the weather right now; one moment it's sunny and bright, and the next it might turn into a raging storm."

Do you know where the dirtiest place in the world is?

Wang Dao shook his head:
"do not know."

Handsome Kun explained:
"The top layer and the bottom layer."

"At the top, there are many methods of killing without bloodshed, and what's most disgusting is that what they do is all disguised as legal."

"The foreigners in Hong Kong are a thousand times worse than you imagine."

"Our gang is at the very bottom, but the evil in the gang is visible and tangible; the evil in the foreigners is hidden in honey."

"There are plenty of fools in this world who get betrayed but still think the other person is doing it for their own good."

"You just go ahead and buy intelligence; I estimate you'll have some results in the next couple of days."

Wang Daoxin thought Liang Kun was really accurate; the information refreshed by the intelligence system every day rarely repeated. He had no idea that so many things could happen in a single day.

Handsome Kun stood up and said:
"The company made us build artillery emplacements, so I have to recruit underlings."

"For the two of us to go to Mong Kok to set up a flag would be like committing suicide."

"You're my right-hand man; you should recruit a suitable follower as well."

Wang Dao pointed to himself and said:
"I can also take on followers?"

Strictly speaking, Si Jiu is not qualified to take on followers.

Only those who hold official positions in the gang—the "Red Stick," "White Paper Fan," and "Straw Sandal"—are qualified. The underlings they recruit can also enter the underwater world and become official disciples of the gang.

However, these rules are often leniently enforced.

No one hands you anything from within the club. Except for the second generation of club members, no one will prepare everything for you to inherit.

The club only gives you a title; you have to recruit your own followers and such on your own. The only help the club can provide is a title.

That's it.

In real society, a gang is supported by the gang leader's underlings. The boss recruits underlings, the underlings recruit underlings, and the underlings' underlings recruit underlings, and so on in a cycle.

In other words, many so-called "big brothers" are just 49s.

Handsome Kun snorted coldly:
"You're my leader. If you don't have any underlings, wouldn't that be a loss of face for me?"

That makes sense!

Handsome Kun waved his hand and said:
"I had two henchmen before I went to prison. I wonder how they are now. I'll go check on them."

You're free to do whatever you want today.

Wang Dao nodded.

Liang Kun is his boss, not his accessory. There's no reason for him to be by his side all the time.

This is a good thing for Wang Dao, after all, he was an undercover agent that Chen Guozhong placed next to Liang Kun.

"Then I'll go take a look around."

With an air of dominance, Liang Kun walked away on his own.

Wang Dao smiled slightly. He believed in loving what he did. Now that he was Liang Kun's right-hand man, he naturally had to have the corresponding prestige.

Young man, you should take in a few too!
He happens to have two very good candidates.

After finishing his meal, he watched TV for a while. It wasn't until then that he realized how famous Chen Guozhong was—every channel he turned on was filled with special analyses of the capture of the "Rainy Night Madman," and Chen Guozhong had indeed become famous.

Wang Dao's name wasn't mentioned on TV, but he was the one who provided the information, which made Wang Dao very pleased.

After resting for a while, Wang Dao left home and, after many twists and turns, arrived at a bridge archway, where he saw a guy with a bruised and swollen face.

Chen Yongren felt he was extremely unlucky.

He was doing quite well at the police academy in Wong Chuk Hang, but unexpectedly, his identity as Ni Kun's illegitimate son was discovered by Huang Zhicheng just before graduation! He didn't know where Huang Zhicheng got the information, but he actually wanted him to infiltrate the Ni family.

Otherwise, his identity should be made public.

Chen Yongren had no choice but to accept Huang Zhicheng's arrangement and become an undercover agent.

He originally thought that being an undercover agent would be easy; as long as he was willing to fight and kill, it would be a piece of cake for him to integrate into the gang.

As it turns out, he was overthinking it!
The gangs in Yau Tsim Mong are complex, and he, a hothead, was neither here nor there, and was completely out of place with the local community.

Nobody liked him.

The local gangsters wanted to beat him up whenever they saw him; his appearance didn't look like that of a good person, and the police chased after him too.

For a year now, Chen Yongren has been either being chased by gangsters or hiding from the police.

I almost broke down!
Chen Yongren is a very determined person; otherwise, he wouldn't have applied to the police academy.

But his current predicament is truly unbearable for him.

The physical pain was bearable, but the emotional trauma was unbearable—the world was vast, yet he had nowhere to find acceptance.

Unable to bear it any longer, Chen Yongren called Huang Zhicheng for help, only to be met with a curt "figure it out yourself" and then nothing more.

For a moment, Chen Yongren felt utterly hopeless.

He really didn't know what to do.

These past few days, he's been living like a homeless person, forced to stay under a bridge to survive.

Chen Yongren chuckled self-deprecatingly. Who would have thought that just last year, he was a promising police cadet?

Now he's even worse off than a petty thug.

Suddenly, he felt someone walk up to him and instinctively made a defensive move.

I carefully looked up and saw an unforgettable face.

Wang Dao scrutinized Chen Yongren closely, finding it hard to reconcile this man with the composed and confident undercover cop in the video.

Chen Yongren, unable to fathom the origins of Wang Dao's methods, cautiously asked:
"who are you?"

Wang Dao looked down at him:
"Young and Dangerous?"

Chen Yongren nodded.

The Way of the King:

"With whom?"

Chen Yongren remained silent. If he had a boss to back him up, would he have ended up like this?

Wang Dao nodded slightly.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Wang Dao, and I'm with Liang Kun."

"You can call me Brother Dao."

"Want to become my underling?"

Chen Yongren suddenly looked up, staring at him in disbelief:
"You want to take me in?"

Wang Dao sighed:

"Look at your pathetic state, you were never capable of following me."

"But, what can I do? I just find you pleasing to the eye."

Chen Yongren suddenly stood up, looking at him suspiciously:
Who is Liang Kun?

Wang Daozhi sighed:
"You even know Brother Kun, and you still dare to call yourself a gangster?"

Chen Yongren was bewildered:

Is "Like Kun" very famous?

Wang Dao shrugged:

"What do you think of Hung Hing's Mong Kok boss?"

Chen Yongren was overjoyed:
"I'll go with you!"

Wang Dao was unaware that in the Infernal Affairs storyline, when Chen Yongren went undercover, Ni Kun had already died!

Perhaps this is the butterfly effect?
