Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 219 Everything Requires Social Skills

Li Jie, Chen Yongren, Yaowen, Wang Jianjun, and Jimmy stayed behind Wang Dao, watching Liang Kun and Chen Guozhong chat for more than half an hour.

They only began to discuss it quietly after the reinforcements Chen Guozhong had called for arrived.

The group watched as Liang Kun and Wang Dao twisted the truth and completely exonerated them.

Everyone was deeply shocked, feeling an itch on their scalp as if their brains were about to grow.

Wang Jianjun sighed to Li Jie:

"As expected of Hong Kong, as expected of an international metropolis. You really can't see this kind of technique back in my hometown."

Li Jie said, embarrassed:
“I just found out about this, too.”

The two men looked very relaxed. Killing a few drug dealers was perfectly in line with their understanding, and they felt no burden at all when they did it.

Jimmy was stunned. Good heavens, the big boss and Dingye's actions actually cleared them of suspicion. Can you believe it?
Jimmy, in any case, simply couldn't believe it.

This is reality.

The people Chen Guozhong summoned have already started taking statements. Once the statements are taken, the matter will be officially classified, and they will have nothing to do with it anymore.

Jimmy suddenly felt a sense of bewilderment:
"If living in the martial arts world is this carefree, then it doesn't seem like it's impossible to make it in the martial arts world!"

Ma Jun pulled Michael aside and asked:

Who killed the three Annamese brothers?

Michael said irritably:

"I killed him."

Ma Jun rolled his eyes:
"Don't I know how skilled you are?"

"Don't make trouble."

Michael said seriously:
"I didn't cause any trouble, I killed those guys."

"do you have any opinion?"

Ma Jun remained silent.

He secretly made up his mind to wait until he got back to the police station before making a decision.

Chen Guozhong was chatting with Liang Kun and Wang Dao, and he was very angry.

This guy, Liang Kun, actually made them pay compensation.

"If your guy hadn't suddenly caused trouble at the dance hall, my furniture would still be intact."

"You are responsible for all of this damage."

"Also, this fight startled my guests, so I have to pay compensation."

Chen Guozhong angrily said:

"Ah Kun, that's enough."

Handsome Kun bluntly said:
"impossible!"

"Night Shanghai doesn't belong to me; I'm just watching over it for someone else."

“If something goes wrong, it will affect my reputation.”

"I have to give an explanation to the martial arts world and to Boss Zhu."

"You can't expect me to pay for it out of my own pocket."

Chen Guozhong was so angry he laughed:
"Ah Kun, do you really think I'm blind? My guy didn't kill the three Annan brothers."

"I took the blame for you, and instead of thanking me, you want compensation from me?"

Liang Kun exclaimed exaggeratedly:

"Take the blame?"

"You took down three drug dealers, and you call that taking the blame?"

"Is seizing a drug dealer's warehouse considered taking the blame?"

"Catching someone involved in a drug trafficking ring is considered taking the blame?"

Chen Guozhong's mouth also gaped open, and he said incredulously:
"You even dug up the superiors of the three Annan brothers?"

Liang Kun shrugs:

"Brother Shan!"

Chen Guozhong smiled wryly:

"But even so, it would be difficult for me to explain this to the police station."

Liang Kun was disappointed in him:
"You're stupid!"

"You're using LeBron James' name to make money, aren't you?"

"James is in the hospital right now. If he knew someone was going to treat him like this, do you think he'd be ecstatic?"

"No matter what, you can't be the ones to pay this compensation."

After a moment's thought, Chen Guozhong immediately realized that Wang Dao must have played a significant role in this.

They're professionals when it comes to intelligence gathering.

Chen Guozhong thought for a moment and asked:

"Just tell me what you want to do!"

Handsome Kun clapped his hands and laughed:

“Brother Zhong is very straightforward, so I won’t hold back either.”

"I want to put on a big show tonight."

Chen Guozhong has a severe headache:

"Ah Kun, are you going to have a big dragon and phoenix now?"

"Aren't you being too hasty?"

Handsome Kun said seriously:
"No, this is the perfect time."

Chen Guozhong frowned and said:

"how?"

Liang Kun gestured with his lips:
"Isn't there a ready-made reason to start a war there?"

Chen Guozhong was taken aback:
"what?"

Liang Kun said directly:
"Look over there, Huo Baoming is a member of the Righteousness Group. He'll take over the territory tonight."

Chen Guozhong pondered for a moment:

"Are you sure?"

Handsome Kun smiled:

"Yes, I have."

Chen Guozhong thought about it and agreed:
“You’ve brought people from your hometown. With their skills, they should have no problem taking down the Yi Zi Tuan in Yau Tsim Mong.”

Young Kun pretends to be stupid:

"I don't understand what you're saying."

Chen Guozhong was too lazy to expose him, but simply reminded him:

"You know my rules."

Handsome Kun said seriously:
"Don't worry, it won't involve ordinary people."

“I’m a legitimate businessman.”

Chen Guozhong shook his head:

"What kind of businessman is as domineering and tyrannical as you?"

Liang Kun cried out that he was wronged:

"Everyone who does business with me praises me."

"Don't try to smear me."

Chen Guozhong shook his head:

Call me half an hour before the operation.

Leung Kwan made an "OK" gesture.

Chen Guozhong clapped his hands and said:

"Close the team!"

Military officers and plainclothes officers escorted Huo Baoming and his gang into a police car. They had been fighting and causing trouble in Shanghai at night, so the police station had to be called in.

Chen Guozhong returned and gave further instructions:
"Remember, whatever you do, don't go too far."

Handsome Kun laughed:

"Don't worry."

Chen Guozhong then left.

Liang Kun addressed the crowd:

"Blow the whistle, recruiting! Let's play some games tonight!"

The fool was completely numb.

"Boss, tonight?"

Isn't it nighttime now?

Handsome Kun bluntly said:
"It's not late yet, wait until after midnight."

"Remember, we're friends here, but we can't drag ordinary citizens into this."

Sha Qiang nodded repeatedly:

"Boss, I'll go get help right now."

Wang Dao thought for a moment and said:

"Brother Qiang, please inform Ah Niu while you're at it."

“If we’re going to mobilize, we need to pool all our resources and drive the Yizi group out of Yau Tsim Mong.”

Sha Qiang nodded vigorously.

Wang Dao then reminded him:

"Brother Kun, you'd better call Jiang Sheng and the Crown Prince."

"Give Binny a call while you're at it."

Handsome Kun clapped his hands and said:
"Yes, we need to get Benny involved too."

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"If you don't call him, he'll complain about you afterwards."

Liang Kun laughed heartily and actually called Jiang Tianyang:
“Mr. Jiang, something happened at my place today, and I’m going to take revenge on Yi Zi Dui.”

Jiang Tianyang was taken aback:
"what happened?"

After Liang Kun explained the situation, Jiang Tianyang laughed:
"no problem."

"Ah Kun, just do it. It would be best to settle things in one battle."

"Anyway, we're in the right."

"At worst, the means of revenge were a bit too harsh."

Liang Kun asked:

"How did Mr. Jiang's talks with Xinji and Xinliansheng go?"

Jiang Tianyang sighed:
"There are no problems with Xinliansheng. Both Mr. Jin and Lin Yaochang respect us very much. They were quite eager to hear about this good thing."

"Xinji is taking a wait-and-see approach."

Liang Kun said directly:
“What’s rushed is never a good deal. Since Xinji is hesitant, let them continue to hesitate.”

"If Xinji doesn't work, we can just bring in other people."

Jiang Tianyang asked:
"How about we just call on the Yi character pile?"

The number gang has thirty-six character piles, and the "righteousness" pile and the "perseverance" pile are two different halls.

Liang Kun's reply made Jiang Tianyang feel particularly comfortable:
"You're the boss, you make the decisions."

Jiang Tianyang said regretfully:

"It's a pity that Crown Prince Ge doesn't manage things; otherwise, if he were to lavish filial piety upon the prince, who would dare to object?"

Handsome Kun shook his head:
"The 36 characters in the number group are scattered, and there are many unsavory things between the characters. It is also common for friends to cheat each other."

"Hoping to unify the concept of filial piety by piling up characters might just lead to the very thing that is being promoted."

Jiang Tianyang then gave up.

On the contrary, it was Liang Kun who said:

"We can inform Xinliansheng and Yizidui about our righteousness pact."

Jiang Tianyang pondered for a moment and said:

"Just go ahead and do it, I'll take care of the rest."

Handsome Kun laughed:

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Tianyang laughed and said:
"The harder you hit there, the easier it is for me to talk to you."

It's not a good deal to be too eager to do something; if Jiang Tianyang takes the initiative to contact others, who knows what they might think?

Just like Xinji, who thought Hung Hing was plotting against him.

Liang Kun agreed very readily.
“No problem, I’ll kick them out of Yau Tsim Mong today.”

Jiang Tianyang reminded him:

"Is there a problem with the police station?"

Liang Kun laughed: "Of course, there's no problem at all."

Jiang Tianyang was immediately relieved:
"I'm glad you said there's no problem!"

Liang Kun laughed heartily, hung up the phone, and then called Han Bin:
"Binny, how many soldiers do you have?"

Han Bin exclaimed in surprise:

"Ah Kun, are you going to kill your friends?"

Liang Kun shrugged and explained the situation.

Han Binren was stunned:

"You're only telling me this now?"

"Don't you consider me a brother?"

Liang Kun explained:
"Jiang Sheng hasn't confirmed anything yet, so how can I say anything reckless?"

"Clubs have rules, you know."

"But today was an exception, which is why I called you immediately."

Han Bin thought it made sense and readily agreed:
"I'll give you as many soldiers as you need."

Handsome Kun laughed:

"I only need elite troops and capable generals."

Han Bin gritted his teeth and said:
"I'll get the dinosaurs and narrow-eyed creatures to support you too."

Handsome Kun chuckled:
"That's not necessary. In Yau Tsim Mong, Chui Shui Man is so overshadowed by Beard Yung that he can't even lift his head."

"It's just a simple pile of righteousness; there's no need to use dinosaurs and narrow eyes."

Han Bin thought for a moment and said:

"Okay, where do we meet?"

Handsome Kun laughed:

"Just have them come directly to Night Shanghai."

“The club has its rules. For every soldier I borrow, I’ll give you ten thousand dollars.”

Han Bin said speechlessly:
"Do we really need to be so clear about this?"

Handsome Kun said seriously:
“We’re all out here to make our way in the world, you should understand how serious this is.”

Han Bin reluctantly agreed.

Clubs have their own rules, and these can't be ignored just because of personal relationships.

Han Bin understood this principle, and he also understood Liang Kun's meaning: borrowing troops from him was tantamount to telling him the truth.

If Han Bin is still dwelling on this matter, then he has lost his way.

"I'll arrange the manpower right away."

"See you later!"

Liang Kun was speechless:

"Binny, what are you thinking about?"

“We’re legitimate businessmen, so let our younger brother lead the way when it comes to this kind of business.”

His tone became stern.

"You should also set up several buffer firewalls for yourself."

Han Bin nodded silently:

"I understand."

……

Ma Jun held back all the way!
Back at the police station, Chen Guozhong arranged everything and addressed the two men.
"Come to my office."

Ma Jun and Michael obediently went inside.

Chen Guozhong said to Ma Jun:

"Don't hold it in, it makes me feel bad to see you like that."

Ma Jun directly asked Michael:
"What's going on?"

Michael sighed and then recounted the whole story.

Ma Jun shouted:
"Why don't you refute Liang Kun's statement on the spot?"

Michael looked at him like he was an idiot:
"There were over a hundred people in Shanghai at night, and everyone said I killed those three Annamese. You want me to refute their claim?"

"Am I crazy, or are you crazy?"

Ma Jun angrily said:

"Those three Annamese were killed by Liang Kun's men."

Michael was also furious:

"Where's the evidence?"

Ma Jun shouted:
"You are the evidence!"

Michael also shouted:

“I was all alone, but the other side had hundreds of people.”

"Once you're in court, who do you think the judge will trust?!"

Ma Jun was unable to speak.

If even a man with ramen-noodle hair can win a case against Michael, then any police officer could identify someone else without any testimony.

Michael coldly snorted:
"Reckless man!"

Ma Jun gritted his teeth.

Chen Guozhong glanced at Ma Jun and asked him a question:
Do you remember what I told you when we went there?

Ma Jun felt a chill run down his spine:
"what do you mean?"

Chen Guozhong said calmly:

"When you got into trouble, all the guys protected you."

"If anything happens to the guys in the future, you have to protect them too."

"Remember this: your buddy is your only support."

"That's a comrade you can entrust your back to."

Before Ma Jun could understand what Chen Guozhong was saying, he heard Chen Guozhong say...
"You just questioned Michael's handling of the matter."

"Have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if Michael didn't admit to killing someone?"

Ma Jun disagreed:

What could be the consequences?

Chen Guozhong's face fell, and he said calmly:
"Indeed, there were no consequences."

"At most, it's just a different way of saying it."

Ma Jun frowned and said:
"What's that?"

Chen Guozhong said calmly:

"For example, all this turmoil was caused by Michael... Michael seduced Ming's girlfriend, which triggered a major battle. The Annamese blamed Michael, which aroused his resentment, and he turned around and killed all three of them!"

Ma Jun angrily said:

"Isn't this just turning black into white?"

Chen Guozhong asked directly:
"What do you think we should do when something like this happens?"

Ma Jun laughed:

"No one will believe it."

Chen Guozhong said slowly:
"There are hundreds of witnesses on the other side, how do you refute them?"

Ma Jun stopped laughing.

Chen Guozhong snorted coldly:

"Also, even if you are skilled in martial arts, you have seen the skills of the three Annamese brothers."

"Do you think you could kill someone in such a short time?"

Ma Jun swallowed hard, thought for a moment, and decided to save face:

"Who knows how they killed them? Maybe it was a gang beating."

Mi Gao said helplessly:
"It wasn't a gang beating; it was just two people attacking the three brothers."

"In less than a minute, all three brothers were dead."

Ma Jun's pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed in shock:
"One minute?!"

Chen Guozhong stood up and suddenly slapped Ma Jun on the head.

"I told you to think about your own buddies, did you even think about it?"

"I told you to think more about your mistakes, have you thought about it?"

"When I tell you to use your brain more when solving cases, do you?"

"What the hell do you use besides being stubborn?"

"I'm giving you time to change. If you can't change, I'll report you to your boss and fire you!"

Ma Jun didn't dare to move an inch.

Michael couldn't stand it anymore and quickly said:
"Inspector Chan, Inspector Ma will change."

Chen Guozhong became even angrier and slapped Ma Jun twice more:
"Look at you, you didn't consider your own men, and now Michael is pleading for you."

"You're a fucking bastard!"

Ma Jun was extremely upset.

He thought about it carefully and realized that he hadn't considered these things at all.

Chen Guozhong was telling the truth, but the truth is the most hurtful.

Do you know what mistake you made by beating that drug dealer into an idiot?

Ma Jun lowered his head and said:
"I shouldn't have used my fist; I hit too hard."

Chen Guozhong said loudly:

"Bullshit!"

"Your only mistake was not killing him!"

He pointed to Migo.
"In order to track down these damn drug dealers, our guys, like him, risked their lives to go undercover among them."

"How dangerous is that activity?"

"Those drug dealers, every single one of them deserves to die!"

Ma Jun honestly admitted his mistake:

"I'm sorry, Officer Chan, I was wrong."

"I'm sorry, Michael, I won't do it again."

Michael quickly tried to smooth things over:
“Sir, Sir Ma has realized his mistake, so please forgive him this time.”

Chen Guozhong said coldly:

“It’s true that Leung Kwan is the Grand Marshal of Hung Hing, but he only does traditional business and at most collects protection money.”

Do you know where Brother Kun's territory is?

Ma Jun quickly said:
“I know that Liang Kun seized the territory from the Ni family.”

"He also stipulated that anyone who sells drugs is not allowed to sell drugs at his venue, otherwise he would kill them."

"None of the Ni family members dared to go in."

Chen Guozhong was even angrier:

"You still know?"

"Someone like Liang Kun is someone we should be supporting. You actually want to find a way to bring him down today?"

"You don't try your best to bring those who leave your fanbase to justice, but you're going to crack down hard on those groups that don't leave your fanbase?"

Ma Jun felt utterly ashamed, wishing the ground would burst open and reveal itself. What kind of mess had he made today?

Michael, ever quick-witted, immediately made Chen Guozhong a cup of tea.
"Officer Chen, have some tea and calm down!"

Chen Guozhong said calmly:

"You all better think carefully about what happened this time. If there's a next time, I won't let you off the hook."

The two nodded quickly.

However, without Chen Guozhong's permission, they dared not move an inch.

Chen Guozhong casually pulled out a slip of paper:
"Later, you take some men and destroy the warehouse of the three Annamese brothers."

“Brother Kun gave us a gift, so we’re going to make this a fact.”

Ma Jun said incredulously:
"Inspector Chen, you actually discovered the Annan brothers' drug storage facility?"

Chen Guozhong said irritably:
"What nonsense are you talking about? If I had known this beforehand, would I have sent Michael to infiltrate there?"

"This is information provided by Liang Kun."

"He hates fans as much as I do."

Ma Jun was completely speechless.

Little did Chen Guozhong know that he was secretly regretting it:

"This must be information from Ado. Sigh, I haven't been communicating with Ado much lately!"
