Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 226 Methods to Deal with James
"Inspector Chen, thank you for visiting me again."

"But isn't it a bit too late?"

James looked at Chen Guozhong in surprise, never expecting that he would come to visit him at this time.

Police stations have their own taboos; generally, after the first injury, they rarely visit a colleague. It's said that doing so would bring bad luck.

Therefore, even the foreigners did not come to visit a second time.

Hong Kong people are superstitious, and Westerners are even more so. The Unitarian Church has a particularly large number of taboos.

James hadn't expected Chen Guozhong to take the risk of visiting him.

Chen Guozhong pulled over a chair and laughed:
"This isn't a public hospital, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get in at this hour."

It was already 11 p.m., and public hospitals close at 10 p.m., so I would have to wait until tomorrow to visit.

Private hospitals don't have so many rules. Not only is the environment beautiful, like a hotel, but you can also visit at three or four in the morning without any problem, as long as the patient agrees.

James raised an eyebrow:
“Inspector Chan, you might as well speak frankly.”

James was wary of Chen Guozhong, a capable and ruthless detective. What James feared most was Chen's utter hatred for drug dealers.

In the cases he handled, very few of the drug dealers survived.

He'd be an excellent cop anywhere.

However, James was different; he was ordered by the city of Fog to come to Hong Kong to make money.

The powder vendors weren't his enemies; they were potential partners.

If all the drug dealers were dealt with by cops like Chan Kwok-chung, where would he find partners?

Does he have to get involved himself?
What did that become?
"James, you really should thank me."

Chen Guozhong said frankly,

"I haven't had a break for days because of you."

James became increasingly wary. He didn't think the two of them had much of a relationship, so why was Chen Guozhong so concerned about his affairs? What was he planning to do?

After thinking for a moment, he asked directly.

Chen Guozhong glanced at him in surprise:
"I'm doing things for you, and you actually suspect me of having ulterior motives?"

James shrugs:

"According to Hong Kong, we do not have such a relationship."

Chen Guozhong looked at him with amusement:
"friendship?"

He stood up, looked down at James, and said with a very serious expression:
"The police are our friends."

James's pupils contracted.

“There are four or five million members in Hong Kong’s triads. If you walk on the street, nine out of ten people you meet will have a triad background.”

“Hong Kong’s prisons can hold 30,000 people. Note that this is when the prisons are vacant.”

How many police officers are there in Hong Kong? There are fewer than 30,000 frontline police officers.

“If 30,000 people want to control a society of four or five million, they must establish our authority.”

"The dignity of police officers shall not be violated."

"No matter who comes, it won't work!"

“If police officers are violated and do not fight back, the deterrent effect will be lost.”

"Any random gang would disregard the police station."

“The social order in Hong Kong will be challenged, and the underground triads will not be content to enforce their so-called order only at night.”

"They will challenge to maintain order during the day as well."

"You can imagine that scene."

Chen Guozhong looked at James with a half-smile.
"Especially since your identity is not ordinary."

James chuckled dryly:
"My identity is quite ordinary."

He became even more wary of Chen Guozhong.

"Ordinary?"

Chen Guozhong shook his finger.

"Firstly, senior police superintendents are absolutely not to be trifled with in the triads."

Secondly, you are from Chongqing. You have a natural protective layer.

"We are always the soldiers, and they are the thieves."

"It is only right and proper for soldiers to catch thieves."

"The thief turns around and captures the soldier; this is reversing the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches."

"To allow such a thing to happen is tantamount to ignoring a rebellion."

"Hong Kong is still under the jurisdiction of Chongqing, and Chongqing people are naturally superior to locals under the law... If you think this behavior is permissible, then what are we local police officers supposed to do?"

James smiled wryly:

"There is no such law now."

Chen Guozhong shrugged:

"Of course, we're getting closer and closer to '97. If another law is made specifically targeting Hong Kong people, you won't have a good time when you negotiate with your hometown in the future."

James sighed:
"Chen, I admire your frankness, but I also dislike it."

Chen Guozhong smiled and said:
"Whether you like it or not doesn't matter, as long as I can help you."

He got to the point.

“Your injury has seriously shaken the authority of our police station. In order to restore the police station’s deterrent power over the community, I have taken some actions.”

"Of course, it's only within the scope of my authority."

"According to my investigation, your injury is very likely related to the two triads, He Lian Sheng and Xing Sheng."

"However, most of their power is not in my jurisdiction."

"I can't possibly cross the line and cause them trouble."

“Crossing the line is a very troublesome thing. It will not only arouse the other party’s suspicion, but also cause irreversible damage to our police station.”

If disciplined forces cross the line, it will trigger a chain reaction and cause irreparable damage.

Besides increasing management costs, the biggest consequence is that all plans will be disrupted, and it could potentially cost many lives.

James became even more wary of Chen Guozhong.

It's only been a few days, and they've almost uncovered the truth.

James naturally knew who was targeting them; it was because he had colluded with Daipu Hei and Baitou Weng.

But he was certain that neither Heliansheng nor Hexingsheng would readily disclose this information.

The fact that Chen Guozhong was able to find out demonstrates the other party's competence.

Little did James know that after they teamed up to "bump" into him, both gangs spread rumors that Daiura Hei and Bai Tou Weng had something to do and were on the run.

With Wang Dao as his intelligence source, Chen Guozhong naturally investigated the matter thoroughly.

This is the information gap.

Chen Guozhong, appearing to be wholeheartedly concerned for James, said:

“I can’t do anything about other jurisdictions, but within my jurisdiction, I absolutely will not let two gangs get away with it.”

“I wiped out all of Wo Hing Shing’s branches in Yau Tsim Mong.”

"Nowadays, besides the Ni family, there are only four triads in Yau Tsim Mong."

“Hongxing, Dongxing, Xinliansheng, and the Yi character pile of the number gang.”

"There is no other environment for other clubs to survive."

"Don't worry, they have all been screened by me, and they will definitely not lose fans."

"James, how are you going to thank me?"

James was stunned:
"You actually accomplished this much in such a short time?"

Chen Guozhong said frankly, "I'm avenging you!"

His face had an expression that said, "You'd better come and thank me."

James was furious!

I thank you so much!
You've already captured all my future subordinates, and you still want me to thank you?
Why? !
However, since the other party's intentions were always good, James had no choice but to say...

"Chen, you truly deserve to be called an elite police officer; you're incredibly sharp."

"Thank you very much."

Chen Guozhong sighed:
"Unfortunately, my current strength is insufficient; I can only help you sweep through the territory within my jurisdiction..."

"If you want to truly get revenge, you can only cooperate after you are discharged from the hospital and return to work."

James was terrified. "Don't come any closer!"

If Chen Guozhong continues to follow me, how can I carry out my little plans?
This guy has a natural hatred for drug dealers, as if they were his father's killer.

Not long after James arrived in Hong Kong, the value of the powder he received from Chan Kwok-chung alone reached as high as 40 million.

It's like a ruthless anti-drug machine.

He made his fortune by selling drugs, and if this path is blocked, the city will surely blame him.

What should he do then?
Chen Guozhong suddenly asked:
"James, what areas do you think I still need to improve?"

James's eyes widened, almost turning green:
"Chen, you've done enough. There's no need for further improvement."

Chen Guozhong said in astonishment:

"Really?"

James nodded vigorously:

"real!"

Chen Guozhong sighed with regret:
"Alright then, those damned drug dealers, we won't let any of them get away with it."

"Just rest well. When you come out, you'll find that the atmosphere in Yau Tsim Mong is very different."

James was so startled he almost jumped out of bed.

Boss, you've reorganized the club, how am I supposed to perform micro-management now?

Chen Guozhong clearly saw James's concerns and asked with puzzlement:
"James, isn't this what you told me to do?"

James froze, overwhelmed with regret.

I did say that, but you're acting way too fast!
How long has it been?
Is it possible to have five days?
You've managed to clean up the triads in Yau Tsim Mong?!
Did you deploy the Hong Kong garrison?

Even the Hong Kong garrison wouldn't act this outrageously, would it?
James found it absurd. He asked himself honestly, even if he were to personally take charge, it probably wouldn't be this outrageous.

How did the other party do it?
I don’t understand at all!

When someone is terrified, their expression will naturally reflect that fear.

Chen Guozhong comforted him:

"James, don't get agitated, it's nothing."

"It's still far from meeting your requirements."

"Just wait, when you are discharged from the hospital, I will definitely give you a big surprise."

James thought to himself, "You're going to give me a big scare right now."

Chen Guozhong stood up and said, "It's too late, I won't disturb your rest any longer."

"Farewell."

James stared speechlessly at Chen Guozhong's retreating figure, completely baffled as to what the other man had come for.

Is he really here to report on the progress of the mission?

The strategy targeting the Ni family was devised by James. He needed to attract fans, but he didn't need those uncontrolled, large-scale fan peddlers.

The Ni family wields considerable power, has numerous connections, and is highly sophisticated in all aspects.

They don't need James' help at all; in fact, James' intervention could have negative consequences.

What James needs is a fan who isn't too weak but also not too powerful.

This makes it easier to control.

Daipu Hei and Bai Tou Weng were handpicked by him, but who would have thought that just as they were about to undergo an obedience test and have their sales performance compared, they were eliminated by the gang.

This is definitely a big blow to James.

Chen Guozhong's arrival did not give James any sense of excitement about escaping the tycoons of the foggy city.

That's absolutely impossible!
James couldn't sleep that night!
Chen Guozhong started the car and drove straight to the old spot, where he could see the towering Wangdao Tower from afar.

"What do you want me to do by reporting to James?"

Wang Dao handed him a Marlboro.

Was James scared?

Chen Guozhong exhaled a smoke ring, thought for a long time, and then said:

“James was very cautious. He was puzzled by my arrival. He spent most of the time we spent together thinking about why I had come to visit him.”

"However, he was surprised by my progress."

"Aren't we moving a little too fast?"

Wang Dao smiled:
"Just be surprised."

"It wasn't just him who was surprised; I suspect the entire martial arts world was astonished."

Chen Guozhong paused slightly, then said seriously:
"Where did this Wang Jianjun come from?"

"They're incredibly good at fighting."

"He can fight even better than the Crown Prince."

Wang Dao sighed:

"Recommended by Li Fu, a veteran who has been on the battlefield."

"All of his thirty-odd henchmen were like that."

"Do you think Hong Kong's triads are fighting against the Hung Hing triad?"

"Wrong, they're fighting against soldiers from their hometown!"

"Isn't this the result we should expect?"

Chen Guozhong froze, and said incredulously:
"Don't tell me they came in as a whole unit."

Wang Dao looked at the dark sea before him and smiled slightly:

“Even if it wasn’t organized as a whole before, it’s now being produced by supervisors.”

"It's just that we haven't equipped ourselves with the corresponding weapons."

Chen Guozhong quickly threw away his cigarette, extremely nervous:

"That's a whole platoon!"

Wang Dao laughed when he saw Chen Guozhong's nervous expression.

"Don't worry, it would be a waste to keep Wang Jianjun and the others in the club."

"They will go into the security department of the film company."

"Responsible for Kun Ge's security."

Chen Guozhong swallowed hard.

"you sure?"

Wang Dao nodded:
"Sure!"

Chen Guozhong murmured:

"A platoon."

"Even doctors don't bring that many people with them."

Wang Dao scoffed:
"Doctors are not even worthy of being compared to Wang Jianjun and his ilk?"

Chen Guozhong instructed:

"We have to keep a close eye on them no matter what."

Wang Daowan'er:

“Jianjun and his men are a formidable weapon; many people have already called Jiang Tianyang.”

“Yi Zidui’s bearded Yong called to confirm whether Wang Jianjun and his group were involved in the gang fight.”

"The people in the club are more nervous than you are."

Chen Guozhong was greatly surprised:
"Even Bearded Yong made a phone call?"

"impossible?"

"That guy is a tough one; he even fought against the Big Circle Gang a few years ago."

Wang Dao scoffed:
"There are many different types of gangs."

"Jianjun and his ilk are among the most formidable."

“Especially when they are organized into units, I simply can’t imagine equipping them with firearms.”

Chen Guozhong smiled wryly:

"Fortunately, Liang Kun doesn't care about gangster matters, otherwise, we would be in real trouble."

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Don't worry, this kind of powerful weapon needs to be held tightly in your hands to exert its deterrent effect."

"If we really let it out, others will know Jianjun's destructive power and will just give up and do whatever they want."

Chen Guozhong was still uneasy looking at Wang Dao's confident demeanor.

Wang Dao laughed:
"Don't worry, Brother Kun's focus is on the company right now, he doesn't have time to think about anything else."

Chen Guozhong sighed:
"hope so!"

Given Wang Dao's consistently good track record, Chen Guozhong ultimately believed him:
"Ado, why do you want me to see James?"

Wang Dao remained silent for a moment before speaking:

"James's background is unusual. He is a senior agent of the Hong Kong Telecommunications Bureau and is authorized by the Hong Kong government, giving him great privileges in Hong Kong."

"Foggy Capital has always been arrogant and doesn't even respect the three companies."

"However, when facing James, I treat him as an equal."

"This shows how much power James wields."

"If we let James make all the moves, we'll be at a disadvantage."

“This is not good!”

Chen Guozhong shook his head:

"There's nothing we can do about it."

"He's a special envoy, so he has a lot of freedom to do what he wants. Even the top leader is hesitant when he's around him."

"Moreover, he also has the authority to guide all frontline detectives in their cases."

"His position is inherently much higher than ours."

Wang Dao interrupted Chen Guozhong:

"Therefore, we cannot let James do whatever he wants."

"If we don't stop it, we'll all end up in trouble!"

Chen Guozhong asked:
"Would taking the initiative to see James put him in a dilemma?"

I don't think so, do I?

"He's a special agent from Chongqing, so he has a very strong mental fortitude."

Wang Dao smiled:
"I have two plans, please give me your advice."

Chen Guozhong became interested:
"Tell me."

Wang Dao said softly:
"The method is very simple when you explain it."

"As long as James develops a drug dealer, we'll take him out."

"Every time he recruits someone, we'll take him down."

"That'll do."

Chen Guozhong was utterly astonished after hearing Wang Dao's solution.

Isn't this method too simple and crude?
"Can it be done?"

Wang Dao chuckled and said:

Remove the character '吗'.

His expression turned serious.

"Don't be fooled by foreigners."

"Foreigners are human too, and humans have weaknesses."

"Forty years ago, they were chased all over Asia by their neighbor Okamoto, and their true colors were exposed to the world long ago."

“Give them the right amount of pressure, and I guarantee this guy will forget the task Fog City gave him.”

Chen Guozhong thought for a moment and nodded:
"That's what we did."

"If all else fails, just let the Seraphs appear."

Wang Daozhi shook his head:
"James is not worthy of deploying Seraph."

Chen Guozhong pondered it carefully, then suddenly said:

"I always felt that your plans were not as simple as they seemed."

Wang Dao gave a thumbs-up and said:

"As expected of Brother Zhong."

"That's right, I have other ideas."

Chen Guozhong smiled and said:
"I knew it."

What happened next?

Wang Dao revealed his purpose:
"James is, after all, a high-ranking agent from Chongqing. That's quite intimidating. So, what do you think about me getting my hands on this guy?"

Chen Guozhong stopped laughing and exclaimed:

"Are you serious?"

He knew that Wang Dao's heart had always been wild, but he never expected it to be this wild!
