Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 234 Arrogant at first and respectful at the end

"Will Ni Yongxiao take action?" Liang Kun's eyes were quite amused.

Wang Dao gave an affirmative answer: "His father Ni Kun's death is a thorn in his side, and he will definitely find that person to avenge Ni Kun."

He paused, then added, "Even if he wasn't saddened at all by Ni Kun's death, he wouldn't allow a killer to lurk behind him, ready to fire a shot at any moment."

“Ni Yongxiao will do everything in his power to find that guy.”

Liang Kun chuckled and said, "That's a good idea. Let these two groups fight it out. That way, we can have an easier time."

"Brother Kun, why don't you call Brother Zhong and tell him what happened?" Wang Dao reminded Liang Kun.

Liang Kun was taken aback: "Call Ah Zhong? Why should we?"

“You’re a respectable businessman, not some gangster. As law-abiding citizens, when something like this happens, of course we should help each other out.” Wang Dao said with a faint smile.

Liang Kun thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "You're the one with the best ideas."

"That's right, we're legitimate businessmen, we should report any drug dealers we encounter!"

He actually called Chen Guozhong right in front of Wang Dao and told him what had happened. Chen Guozhong felt his scalp tingle: "Ah Kun, you've gone too far, haven't you?"

“Ah Chung, I’m a law-abiding citizen. These two groups are both bad guys. Wouldn’t it be more satisfying to let them kill each other?” Liang Kun quickly reminded him.

Chen Guozhong said with a dark face, "I didn't hear it, and you didn't call me."

Liang Kun held the phone in disbelief, his body stiff. After a long while, he said to Wang Dao, "Ah Zhong, hang up the phone!"

He hung up on me!

“Brother Zhong is definitely going to hang up on you,” Wang Dao laughed. “Don’t you think James is at least a senior superintendent in the foreign political department?”

"Zhong-ge can't control him, so how embarrassed will he be when he gets this news?"

Liang Kun quickly stopped him: "Wait, since you know Ah Zhong will be embarrassed after receiving this news, why did you still make me call him?"

“If we want to destroy James and the Ni family, of course we have to call Brother Zhong,” Wang said matter-of-factly. “You hinted to Ni Kun earlier, and the Ni family gained the upper hand, which will make the balance of power unbalanced in the fight.”

Liang Kun frowned deeply: "After I called Ah Zhong, their power was balanced?"

After thinking it over carefully, Liang Kun looked at Wang Dao incredulously.

"Will Ah Zhong tell James what I said?"

Wang Dao shook his head: "No, no, no, Brother Zhong will tell James about this, but he will definitely not mention your name. After all, he just said that you did not call him."

"How did he get this information?" Liang Kun asked, puzzled.

Wang Dao shrugged: "Brother Zhong is a senior inspector of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, isn't it normal for him to have a few informants in the organization?"

"Do foreigners really believe this nonsense?" Liang Kun's eyes widened in disbelief. This was top-secret information! How could Chen Guozhong have fooled a high-ranking foreign police superintendent?

This sounds rather far-fetched.

Wang Dao chuckled and said, "Foreigners may not understand human language, but they will definitely understand ghost language."

Liang Kun didn't believe it.

“It doesn’t matter if James doesn’t believe it, because Brother Zhong won’t lose anything. Of course, the most important thing is that no matter whether James believes it now or not, he will believe it soon!” Wang Dao replied with a smile.

Liang Kun was somewhat bewildered, but suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he exclaimed in realization, "Ni Yongxiao would make a move against James?!"

"Of course!" Wang Dao grinned like a fox. "We've said so much to him, he must be holding a grudge."

"Think about it, the three traditional triads, Hung Hing, Luen Shing, and Hing Shing, dared to take action against James, but the Ni family, who are just thugs, don't dare to do the same?"

"People would laugh their heads off if they told anyone."

“No matter how calm Ni Yongxiao is, with the examples of these three gangs before him, he can no longer be conservative.”

"Besides, how can he be conservative now?"

Liang Kun pointed at Wang Dao and laughed, "You really know what they're thinking."

"I don't want to mess with people like that. It would just dirty my hands. It would be better if they were all dead." Wang Dao said dismissively.

Liang Kun pondered for a moment and said, "Ideally, they should all be dead, but that's not that easy, is it?"

"It's definitely not going to be easy. The Ni family has been in Yau Tsim Mong for twenty years; James also has the support of foreigners. Both of them have powerful backgrounds, but if a war breaks out between them, one side will inevitably withdraw completely."

“The foreigners have the advantage in every aspect. I guess the Ni family will be the first to be unable to withstand it.”

Wang Dao made the following judgment.

"That's good," Liang Kun sneered. "We in Yau Tsim Mong don't allow anyone to leave the fandom."

Wang Dao immediately gave a thumbs up.

He felt quite accomplished. He remembered when Liang Kun was first released from prison, he was single-mindedly focused on finding Ba Bi to steal fans from. Now... if anyone dares to steal his fans, he'll throw them into a cement pit.

What a huge improvement this is!

The sense of accomplishment from following the right path.

"Will Ah Chung go to see James?" This is now Liang Kun's only worry.

Wang Dao laughed and said, "Brother Zhong's grasp of interpersonal relationships is better than many people's. Since you've put it so clearly, how could Brother Zhong not go?"

"However, it doesn't matter if he doesn't go."

“If the Ni family makes a move, Ni Yongxiao will definitely take action.”

"It doesn't matter whether James lives or dies."

"If he dies, Hong Kong will be rid of a menace."

"If he hadn't died, he would have consulted other people's opinions."

“It’s fine to tell him now, Brother Zhong.”

"Hey, according to you, wouldn't it be better if Ah Zhong didn't tell James?" Liang Kun was slightly regretful.

Wang Dao chuckled.

"The way you smile really makes you look like a white-faced actor on a theatrical stage," Liang Kun teased.

Wang Dao laughed and said:

“Brother Kun, that foreigner is a high-ranking agent of the Chongqing Telecommunications Bureau. He didn’t even receive this kind of information from his own intelligence agency. Instead, he heard it from Brother Zhong.”

What do you think his reaction will be?

Liang Kun paused, thought for a moment, and asked uncertainly, "What if...you're still hesitant?"

"Hahaha!" Wang Dao laughed even more heartily, "That's exactly what I wanted—his skepticism."

“Once he has doubts, he definitely won’t go all out.”

"Thus……"

Liang Kun's eyes sparkled: "In this way, he definitely won't put any effort into defense, and he'll reveal his weaknesses sooner, which will actually make things easier for Ni Yongxiao!"

The two brothers exchanged a glance and burst into wicked laughter, looking exactly like two big bad guys.

Just as the villain had predicted, Chen Guozhong went straight to the private hospital where James was after hanging up the phone.

James immediately gave Chen Guozhong a cold look when he saw him arrive again.

However, what Chen Guozhong said startled him: "James, Ni Yongxiao is going to make a move against you."

"Ni Yongxiao is going to make a move against me?" James found it particularly amusing.

Chen Guozhong said somewhat urgently, "What's so funny about this? Ni Yongxiao got some information from somewhere that you know who killed Ni Kun and that he's going to take action against you to avenge his father."

James stopped laughing; he really knew who had taken down Ni Kun.

This is all written in Chen Guozhong's file.

"What does he want from me? Shouldn't he be talking to you guys?" James said angrily, his words becoming somewhat reckless.

Chen Guozhong pretended not to hear: "We are old rivals with the Ni family, and they know our situation."

“Ni Yongxiao knows we won’t tell.”

"So I'll just say it?" James was even more annoyed.

Chen Guozhong sighed: "You're from Chongqing."

"What's wrong with people from Chongqing?" James asked, utterly puzzled.

Chen Guozhong shrugged: "Unfortunately, among our police officers, those from Chongqing are not of strong will."

“You’re talking nonsense!” James had to speak up to correct Chen Guozhong.

Chen Guozhong smiled and said, "Would you like me to show you the data?"

James fell silent.

Chen Guozhong said calmly, "People from Chongqing travel thousands of miles to Hong Kong to work as police officers. There are some with strong will, but very few."

"They relied on the backing of Chongqing, and many things were not done very smoothly."

"When faced with danger, especially life-threatening danger..." "It's easy to surrender."

“Surrendering is not a sin!” James quickly said.

This is due to cultural differences.

In the West, surrendering after putting up a fierce resistance is not considered a sin. These people are even hailed as heroes upon returning home.

However, in the Eastern world, we advocate sacrificing oneself for righteousness and preferring death to surrender.

As for those who advocate the Western virtue of surrender... if surrendering guarantees a good status, then the rise of surrenderism is only natural.

Chen Guozhong shrugged: "James, I don't want to discuss these cultural differences with you."

"I just want to tell you that you're being watched."

"Still a big-time drug dealer."

"They're capable of anything, so be careful."

“Impossible!” James said confidently. “I’m from Chongqing.”

Chen Guozhong said incredulously, "They've all gone to the drug den—once caught, they could easily be sentenced to life imprisonment or executed. Do you really think they care if you're from Chongqing or not?"

James fell silent.

When he first arrived, his skin tone gave him absolute confidence.

But now, he would never say that.

Skin color really does protect him; James wouldn't be bound up like a mummy lying in bed anymore.

Hung Hing didn't care about his skin color; Chiang Tin-sang even said to him, "At worst, Hung Hing will draw lots to decide who lives and who dies." Wo Luen Shing and Hing Shing didn't care about his skin color either; they not only rammed him with a dump truck but also slashed him with a machete.

James is able to live not because of his skin color, but simply because he is a cop.

Chen Guozhong didn't say anything else, but his attitude made James very uncomfortable.

That hit the nail on the head, striking at his own weakness.

"If you really think your skin color or your nationality can protect you, then go ahead and try it."

Chen Guozhong said this, got up and left, a slight smile on his lips, which neither of the two people in the ward noticed.

James stared incredulously at Chen Guozhong's retreating figure. This guy just left like that?
Richard, “Sir,” said Chen Guozhong with some unease, “Chen Guozhong is not a reckless person. He must have heard something, otherwise he wouldn’t be coming to say these things to us at this time.”

James was also feeling uneasy: "We're from the Chongqing Telecommunications Bureau. There's no reason why the higher-ups wouldn't know this intelligence. Can Chen Guozhong's intelligence system compare to ours?"

"I don't believe it!"

Richard nodded repeatedly: "That's right, I don't believe it either."

However, he added, "But this is Hong Kong, and the Ni family is a powerful gang. Do our people from the telecommunications department have any informants within the Ni family?"

There's no ghost here!

James secretly rolled his eyes, but Richard's words reminded him that Chen Guozhong might actually know about him, which was why he rushed over to deliver the message.

But is that even possible?
“We are police officers from the Political Department. People in the triads don’t know our power. Chen Guozhong is an insider, so he knows.”

“If something happens to us, he will definitely be punished.”

"So, once he gets this information, whether it's true or not, he'll definitely come over to warn us."

"Or rather, give us a notification."

Richard racked his brains trying to figure out Chen Guozhong's actions, while James frowned and said, "What good will this do him? We're from Chongqing, we're not going to promote him."

Richard smiled wryly, "Sir, you're right. We won't promote him, but it won't do him any harm either. If something happens to us and it's investigated later, he won't only be spared any harm, he might even benefit..."

"He already told us the intelligence immediately, but we refused to believe the information he gave us and didn't even give him a friendly look?" James was shocked and moved.

Richard had already sorted out his thoughts: "Not only that, he might even file this matter today."

"Chen Guozhong is really cunning!" James exclaimed angrily.

Richard looked at him speechlessly. "What are you angry about?"

Chen Guozhong discovered this information a long time ago and came to tell us. It was you who didn't believe it.

Even if something goes wrong, who can blame him?
They meant well, and instead of being grateful, you're blaming Chen Guozhong?

Is this something a human being would do?
Richard immediately said, "Sir is right, Chen Guozhong is a terrible guy. Once we're discharged from the hospital, we'll definitely have a good talk with the Kowloon regional manager about this."

"Yes, yes, yes!" James nodded repeatedly, then suddenly realized, "Yes my ass!"
If I bring this up, the other party might just use a deadly scissor kick on me!

This seems to have been handled rather unethically.

"Ahem!" James thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it later."

Richard secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If James had really done something like that, just wait and see. No one in the police station would provide them with even the slightest intelligence in the future—if someone kindly provides you with information and you repay kindness with enmity, who would want to work with you? That risk was too great.

"Sir, should we apply for more manpower?" Richard was still a little worried.

James shook his head: "No need."

Richard was stunned, cursing inwardly, "I've analyzed it so thoroughly, and you still won't call for support?"

It's better to believe something is true than to believe it isn't.

“He’s not from Chongqing,” James said casually.

Richard was speechless. This damn racism.

“Richard, don’t worry,” James reassured him. “Even if the Ni family were to attack us, they would wait until we are discharged from the hospital.”

"This is a private hospital."

Richard nodded secretly upon hearing this; the security at private hospitals was indeed trustworthy.

Just then, a doctor in a white coat pushed open the door and came in: "Checking your temperature."

Richard smiled wryly, "We're already in this state, and you're still asking us?"

"Just do it yourself."

The man smiled and said, "Just letting you know in advance."

Then he took something out of his pocket...

James suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and jumped up, yelling, "Richard, run! This is an assassin!"

Richard was completely bewildered. A killer?
Aren't there guards standing at the entrance?
Can the assassin get in?

wrong!

James has already shouted that, so where are the guards?

He jumped up immediately afterward, and the man in the white coat pulled out a small pistol.

Puff puff!
Richard was shot immediately. His vision blurred, and he knew something was wrong: "A tranquilizer gun."

Aren't tranquilizer guns all long?

He then fell into a coma.

James felt a chill run down his spine and was filled with terror. He suddenly swung his fist and punched the man in the white coat hard in the jaw, knocking him unconscious with a single blow.

That's right, James made his move.

He was indeed slashed by He Xingsheng and Liansheng, but those were just superficial wounds, only making it difficult for him to move, not rendering him unable to move.

James quickly pushed open the door and saw that the two sentries had fainted, just like Richard.

He quickly returned to his room, pulled out a gun from the white coat, and it turned out to be the latest model of tranquilizer gun made in Chongqing, and it was even a high-end special edition!
James was both surprised and frightened.

This hospital is no longer safe; it's unclear how many people Ni Yongxiao sent.

Why would he think that Ni Yongxiao sent him?

As Chen Guozhong previously stated, Ni Yongxiao wanted to know who killed his father, so naturally he wanted to leave someone alive.

It seems there's no need to worry about one's life at all.

However, James was terrified. This guy dared to storm a private hospital and even shoot police officers and kidnap foreigners. Once he found out who was behind Ni Kun's murder, how could he possibly survive?
James won't be so lucky.

We need to move!
But how could he possibly move three people all by himself?
At that moment, James turned around and tried to run away. He ignored the three people who had been shot, and stopped as soon as he took a step.

If Chen Guozhong hadn't come earlier, James would have abandoned his companions and run away without hesitation. But Chen Guozhong did come to inform him of the news.

If he escapes, not only will the Hong Kong police station not let him go, but even the police in Chongqing won't let him off the hook.

He had abandoned his companions and allies countless times in Chongqing, but this was Hong Kong. He had come with a great mission.

If he dared to do that, that strong-willed Mrs. Thatcher would probably tear him to pieces!
Most importantly, he had absolutely no idea how many ambushes were lying in wait outside.

Then we can't just rush out randomly.

Gritting his teeth, James pulled out his phone and dialed Chen Guozhong: "Officer Chen, help!"
