Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 210 Unlucky James
"This is outrageous! Those two gangs actually dared to resort to underhanded tactics!"

"If I recover, I'll definitely teach them a lesson they won't forget."

"...It hurts so much!"

Richard cried out in pain.

James gave him a dismissive look:
"This is Hong Kong, not Chongqing."

Even in Chongqing, gangs have always been a source of trouble.

"Those guys always believe in fists, and being a policeman in Chongqing won't help you."

There's a saying among Hong Kong people: "A local official is more powerful than a distant one."

"They are not afraid of us Chongqing people at all."

Richard shouted:

“I will definitely drag everyone in the police station to check the ID cards of He Liansheng and Xingsheng.”

James said calmly:

"Then I should visit your grave next year."

Richard said incredulously:
"Sir!"

James bluntly stated:

"Cutting off someone's source of income is like killing their parents."

“You’ve blocked their path to wealth, so they’ll definitely fight us to the death.”

"This is just a warning to us."

"Unfortunately, two groups of people from different clubs came over, which made us look rather pathetic."

"It's just a club, at most it'll keep us in bed for a little over a week."

"That's the tactful way that people in triads use."

Richard gritted his teeth and said:

"I can not be reconciled."

Are you feeling resentful?
James shook his head inwardly; Richard was clearly terrified.

The foreigners are the de facto rulers of Hong Kong now, and he is also a policeman among them. Unexpectedly, those gangsters didn't care at all. Not only did they send out dump trucks, but they also sent people to fight face to face.

These two groups are so arrogant that they didn't even take any precautions!

How could Richard not be terrified?

James simply won't expose this.

Richard was, after all, his assistant; he should at least give him some face.

James thought for a moment and still advised:
"Don't have that thought."

"If we actually do it, it will anger two major gangs, and it will cause a lot of trouble in the end."

Richard turned his head away; he needed to vent.

James sighed:
"Richard, do you know how many prisoners Hong Kong prison can hold?"

Richard shook his head blankly.

James remained remarkably calm.
"At most, it's 30,000 people."

"Let's not even talk about the fact that it's already filled with a considerable number of prisoners; let's just pretend it's empty."

"Do you think you can fit Heliansheng in, or Hexingsheng in?"

"These two large societies each have 50,000 members."

Richard's pupils contracted:
"so much?!"

James sighed heavily:

"It was because they had so many members that I thought of dragging these two clubs down with me."

"such a pity."

Changing the subject, he said,
“If you dare to put pressure on them, they will dare to resist.”

"Even if 30,000 out of 100,000 are arrested, there are still 70,000 outside."

"You understand what this means, right?"

Richard nodded with a wry smile.

There are still 70,000 people outside.

Once a feud is formed, even if only one person escapes the net, one will live in constant fear, let alone the 70,000 such people!

Hard to guard against.

Richard couldn't help but feel a little scared when he thought about that scene.

"Sir, you see things very clearly."

James nodded slightly:
"This is Hong Kong. We should do our research before we start doing anything."

He would absolutely not tell Richard that he had already been warned.

Hung Hing's Chiang Tin-sang had warned himself long ago, and the thought of him talking about assassins made him even more terrified.

what?
Jiang Tiansheng is dead, so that statement doesn't count?
James would absolutely disagree.

It was precisely because of Jiang Tiansheng's humiliation—being killed along with someone using a grenade—that his words were truly sincere and contained no element of intimidation.

Just think about it, Chiang Tin-sang, the head of a Hong Kong triad, was killed along with someone else.

How terrifying is this?

Jiang Tiansheng was the head of a large triad on par with the He Xingsheng triad. Such a person was used to danger and naturally paid special attention to his own safety. His security was definitely much higher than that of the top triad leader.

Even someone like him could be killed by a suicide bomber, so what if it were him?

Some say James is a foreigner, or that foreigners are his men, and that in the eyes of the short-statured Muhammad, he is a big shot, and they dare not make a move against him.

James scoffed at this.

The way those lowly guys looked at him was the same way he looked at them.

Being too far apart is an act of contempt!
The duct tape on James's limbs is proof of that!
"It's so careless."

"We shouldn't have gone to those two clubs."

"We should find those guys whose entire gangs are involved in pornography to collaborate with."

"They don't care about losing fans, they only care about making money."

"As long as we can provide them with a stable source of powder and give them some appropriate protection."

"They will absolutely be begging to cooperate with me."

"It will never be like this..."

Besides being a senior superintendent in the Political Department, James was also a senior agent in the Chongqing Telecom Bureau. When things went wrong, he immediately began to reflect and review the situation.

The key point was immediately identified—the wrong team was chosen for cooperation.

James could certainly use the police force to carry out a strong crackdown, as Richard suggested.

However, a problem arises: the total number of police officers in Hong Kong is only about 30,000.

If all the people are used to suppress these two gangs, what will happen to the other gangs?
Regardless of the final outcome, Hong Kong will inevitably be thrown into chaos!
This is not what he wants.

James's mission is to raise as much money as possible in Hong Kong while simultaneously selecting as many Hong Kongers as possible who are loyal to Hong Kong.

This is why, despite being only a senior police superintendent, he was qualified to participate in the gathering of foreign firm executives organized by Shen Daban.

what?
Is the status of a senior agent at the Chongqing Telecom Bureau higher than that of a senior police superintendent?
Stop it!
In the eyes of these people, a senior agent of the Fog City Telecommunications Bureau was definitely not as prestigious as a senior police superintendent.

Of course, neither of them were actually respected by the big bosses of those foreign firms.

"However, this is fine too, it makes it easier for me to shake off these guys."

If you can't save face in front of the big boss of a foreign firm, how can you expect to save face in front of the wealthy people in Hong Kong?
Absolutely impossible.

James originally didn't have a good excuse to get out of this mess, but now the actions of those two gangs have given him just such an excuse to escape this filth.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, though he didn't say it.

Of course he wants to befriend rich people, but then again, do those rich people really consider him one of their own?
It's just a dog.

James didn't want to grovel before them; he wanted to stand tall and proud among them.

Forcing yourself into a circle that isn't yours will never end well.

James didn't want to become the dog of the big bosses of the trading companies, so naturally he had to find a way to make money.

Only when you become rich can you treat them as equals, or even look down on them!

This is James's ambition.

In fact, this is the ambition of everyone in Chongqing.

The grassroots level of Chongqing is all about numbers; the real core is the wealthy.

If you don't become rich, you'll always just be a consumable.

This is the true situation in Chongqing.

However, not everyone can see this truth clearly.

Some people just can't see clearly, living in the lies woven by the rich, and passing their lives in a daze.

James was able to see through the lies and make a clear assessment of his own position.

He considered being transferred to Hong Kong a rare opportunity.

This is the best overseas territory besides India, the jewel in the Queen's crown.

All the predecessors who returned to Chongqing made a fortune, and James wanted to be like them.

Unfortunately, due to a previous strategic mistake, he offended Hung Hing and was severely warned.

Then he chose the wrong partner, and as a result, he ended up in a hospital bed, where it would take at least a month to recover.

This made James secretly realize that in a foreign land like Hong Kong, a single wrong step could lead to irreparable losses.

We must never make this mistake again.

James solemnly admonished himself.

As I was deep in thought, a foreigner from the political department suddenly entered:
"Sir, Senior Inspector Chan Kwok-chung of the Kowloon Organized Crime and Triad Bureau requests an audience."

James said in astonishment:

"Chen Guozhong?"

The foreigner asked:

"He's here to visit you. Do you want to see him?"

James thought for a moment and said:
"Invite him in."

If you were to ask who the hottest detective in the police force is right now, it wouldn't be Lee Ying from Wan Chai, nor Chan Ka-kui from the New Territories, but Chan Kwok-chung from Kowloon.

James has so many fans, many of whom were contributed by Chen Guozhong. His disgust for fan peddlers is obvious.

Chen Guozhong came in carrying a fruit basket, placed it on the bedside table, and asked:
"James, are you alright?"

There was nothing wrong with his title.

When James visited the Kowloon Headquarters a while ago, he asked Chan Kwok-chung to address him in that way.

James smiled and said:

"Thankfully, nothing serious happened."

Chen Guozhong bluntly stated:

“I received word that Da Pu Hei, the head of the Tai Po District branch of the Lian Sheng Group in the New Territories, and Bai Tou Weng, the head of the Kowloon branch of the Heung Shing Group and my uncle, have both disappeared without a trace.”

"Did those two send someone to do it?"

James's smile froze slightly, and he immediately said, "Officer Chen, this was a traffic accident."

Chen Guozhong nodded repeatedly:
"I know!"

"You're trying to lull them into a false sense of security."

“James, there’s no need for that. We’re cops, we’re soldiers, they’re thieves.”

"Since ancient times, there has only been the case of soldiers catching thieves, not the other way around."

"We are in the right."

James sensed something was wrong and quickly said:
"Inspector Chen, this is truly an accident."

Chen Guozhong completely ignored what James was saying:
"I will secretly search for evidence of Daikouhei and Baitouweng's drug trafficking. As long as they dare to show their faces, I will definitely catch them with my own hands."

James smiled wryly to himself, wondering where he was supposed to catch this guy.

They've already revealed that these two went to the sea to feed the fish, are they going to catch a great white shark?

"Inspector Chan, this really was a traffic accident."

He even turned to Richard and asked,

"Right, Richard?"

What could Richard say? Nodding was the only thing he could do.

Chen Guozhong said with a stern face:

"James, this isn't just your problem anymore; it concerns the dignity of all 30,000 frontline police officers."

“We are soldiers, and those gangsters are thieves.”

“If our authority cannot be guaranteed, the prestige of the Governor’s Mansion will be completely lost.”

"The martial arts world will spiral out of control."

"They won't be afraid of us."

James thought to himself, "He Liansheng and Xingsheng must not be afraid of me, otherwise, why would they treat me like this?"

That's absolutely impossible.

It's just that these are things that are hard to say aloud.

“Once the dignity of the police station is lost, the entire Hong Kong will inevitably descend into chaos.”

"Who will be in charge of Hong Kong then?"

James's expression changed completely, and Richard shouted out loud.

The scene described by Chen Guozhong really frightened them.

James secretly groaned; he hadn't expected Chen Guozhong to slap such a huge label on him all at once.

If these words were to reach the Governor's mansion, they would surely reach the ears of important figures in the city, and the person in question might be reprimanded.

He was a little bewildered.

Wasn't Chen Guozhong here to visit me?

How did it suddenly become such a big problem as the Fog City's control over Hong Kong?

Normally, he wouldn't care.

We could just suppress them again, but that's not an option right now.

There's a war going on back home—no, using the word "war" is too exaggerated; to be precise, they're "walking the monkeys."

Anyone with eyes to see knows that the old regime was using Annam's surprise attack as a training exercise for its troops.

The situation has always been under the control of the homeland, which is bleeding Annam dry bit by bit until Annam can no longer bear it, at which point the war will stop.

Back home, things were getting tense, which made the Governor's Mansion hesitant to act rashly. If they went too far, a whole gang might end up coming to Hong Kong from Guangdong.

To deal with the garrison in Chongqing, a company from my hometown would be enough!

James took a deep breath:
"Inspector Chen, what do you mean?"

Chen Guozhong said viciously:
"Of course we should fight back!"

“I suggest that a warrant be issued throughout Hong Kong for the arrest of Tai Po Hei and White-haired Old Man.”

"This is to express our attitude."

James secretly breathed a sigh of relief; this was a good idea.

Anyway, the two of them have already gone to the sea to feed the fish, so there's no way to catch them now.

"can."

Chen Guozhong added:
“Those drug addicts in the club are despicable; we must crack down on them severely.”

James felt a sudden pang of anxiety. If he did this, who would want to work with him in the future?

No, we need to find something for Chen Guozhong to do.

Otherwise, given this guy's personality, he could really wipe out all the drug dealers in Kowloon.

After thinking for a moment, James quickly said:

"Inspector Chen, we need to hurry up with what we discussed last time."

Chen Guozhong was somewhat reluctant:

"James, cracking down on drug dealers is still the priority."

James said seriously:

"Cracking down on drug traffickers must also ensure that Hong Kong remains stable."

“You need to carefully select three triads from Yau Tsim Mong.”

"Let's consolidate the gangs first, and then we'll go after the Ni family."

Chen Guozhong hesitated, wanting to speak but then stopped himself; James dared not let him say more.
"Ok, deal."

"I will mention this suggestion to headquarters later, and I authorize you to get started."

Chen Guozhong reluctantly agreed.

James had no desire to continue talking to Chen Guozhong; who knew what this ruthless detective might do next?

"Inspector Chan, thank you for visiting me. I'm a little tired."

This is kicking people out.

Chen Guozhong had no choice but to reluctantly get up and leave, but as he stepped out of the room, a slight smile crept onto his lips:

"That guy, Adao, really knows how to calculate people's hearts perfectly."

James was warned by Helian Sheng and Xingsheng for trying to win over Dapuhei and Baitouweng.

He has absolutely no desire to get involved with them now.

Chen Guozhong's words seem to be for James's good, but if people actually did what he said, they might end up ruining James.

It seems that Chen Guozhong is doing this for James's own good, but James will definitely not accept it. He will refuse and will find some things for Chen Guozhong to do.

For example... the rectification of Yau Tsim Mong.

As Chen Guozhong walked out of the hospital, he looked back with disdain in his eyes. He got into his car, took out his phone, and called Liang Kun.

"Ah Kun, it's your turn to move around."

On the other end, Liang Kun felt it was unbelievable:

"Did Ado really guess right?"

Chen Guozhong curled his lip:

"That's your leader, don't you know how capable he is?"

Handsome Kun laughed heartily:

"Yes, this is the leader of the labor force."

"I will do as we agreed."

Chen Guozhong instructed:

"Ah Kun, we must do things the way we discussed. If anything happens, we should communicate promptly."

Handsome Kun laughed:

"Don't worry, Ah Zhong, I won't cause any trouble. Isn't it better to just do business honestly?"

Chen Guozhong hung up the phone and snorted coldly.
"Your horse?"

"That's my undercover agent!"

Chen Guozhong felt regret once again. If he had known Wang Dao had this ability, why did he send him out?
How wonderful it would be to keep them by my side!
However... it seems to be doing quite well now.

On the other end of the phone, after hanging up, the smile on his lips wouldn't fade.
"Ah Dao was right, the foreigners made Ah Zhong quell the Yau Ma Tei situation."

Han Bin couldn't help but give Wang Dao a thumbs up:

"Ado, that's amazing!"

"You even predicted that?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"what is this?"

“James was first thwarted by us, and then he offended Liansheng and Xingsheng. He will definitely be severely punished by them.”

"When Brother Zhong went to the hospital, it was to put the last lid on his coffin."

"It would be strange if he wasn't terrified."

Looking at the two of them, Liang Kun asked, puzzled:

"Isn't it said that there are foreigners behind HeTu?"

"They still dare to do that to James?"

Wang Dao glanced at Han Bin:
"Well, it would be clearer if Benny explained it."

Han Bin said indifferently:

“There are indeed foreigners supporting HeTu.”

"However, this foreigner is not that foreigner."

"Foreigners aren't a monolithic group either."

"The foreigners' purpose in supporting Hetu is very simple: to stabilize the martial arts world by controlling Hetu."

"In order to maintain stability in Hong Kong."

"When society is unstable, everyone except a few industries will suffer."

"Foreigners come to Hong Kong to make money. If Hong Kong is unstable, how can they make money?"

Handsome Kun nodded slowly:

"Makes sense!"

"Then I should go find Jiang Tianyang?"

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"Jiang Tianyang should at least feel a sense of involvement."

Han Bin couldn't help but say:

"Won't Ah Kun be misunderstood by Jiang Tianyang if he goes like this?"

"Yau Ma Tei is truly going to be divided into three parts..."

"Can Jiang Tianyang sleep?"

The Kingly Way, with its profound meaning, said:
"Brother Kun has made everything clear. If Jiang Tianyang has any ulterior motives, then it's his fault!"
