Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 24 King Zhuge Dao
Liang Kun's eyes widened:
"Ado, what are you thinking about?"

"I've been around for so long, but I never thought anyone could seize territory without a fight."

A confident smile appeared on Wang Dao's face.

"Jiang Tiansheng thinks so too."

"Today at Juyi Hall, Jiang Tiansheng forced you to make a statement because he was certain that planting your flag would encroach on the territory of other gangs and a major battle was inevitable."

"He even wrote the script—to secretly leak our Mong Kok branch's plans, which would inevitably arouse the vigilance of other triads."

"In this way, once we make a move, it will trigger a massive dragon and phoenix battle involving hundreds of people."

"Regardless of whether we win or lose, Jiang Tiansheng has a backup plan."

"If we win, he will provide decisive support to ensure our flag planting is successful, turning our enclave into a base."

“If we lose, he will use the excuse that Hung Hing suffered too many casualties to demand compensation from the other party.”

"I can even imagine Jiang Tiansheng's smugness right now, how perfect the script he wrote in the air-conditioned room is."

"If you want to rise to the top, you will definitely have to follow the script he gave you. Otherwise, you will be held accountable by the gang, and you might even lose your position as the leader of the Fit."

Liang Kun clenched his fist.

Even if Wang Dao's words were correct, what could he do even if he knew Jiang Tiansheng's plan?
Jiang Tiansheng grasped Liang Kun's needs: if Liang Kun wanted to rise to power, he had to fight against the triads in Mong Kok.

Do not!
There will be several rounds of this going on!
This is a damn open conspiracy!
The conspiracy has no solution!

"I'm eager," Liang Kun asked urgently.
"Ado, do you have a way to break this?"

Wang Dao sighed and shook his head:

"cannot!"

Liang Kun was greatly disappointed, but quickly cheered himself up and said:

"I've taken note of Jiang Tiansheng's scheme!"

"No matter what, I'm going to give it a shot."

The king's way was silent:
“Brother Kun, I’m just saying that if we follow Jiang Tiansheng’s method, we have no way to escape his scheme.”

"The question is, why should we follow Jiang Tiansheng's plan?"

Liang Kun's mouth dropped open, and he could barely speak:

"Ado...can you explain this? I...I don't understand what you're saying."

Neither Li Fu nor Chen Yongren understood the meaning of the Kingly Way.

Wang Dao explained earnestly:
“According to Chiang Tin-sang’s script, if we want to plant our flag, we have to clash with the traditional gangs.”

"But why should we clash with traditional community organizations?"

"It's just about raising a flag; we have other methods."

Liang Kun was taken aback. A flash of inspiration seemed to pass through his mind, but the feeling was too ethereal and he couldn't quite grasp it.

"Ado, what do you mean?"

Wang Dao chuckled and said:

"Jiang Tiansheng is good at scheming; he has calculated almost everything. But he forgot one thing—who says our target has to be a traditional gang?"

Liang Kun suddenly realized what was happening and stared at Wang Dao in astonishment:

"Ah Dao, you mean—the Ni family of Yau Tsim Mong?!"

Snapped!
Wang Dao snapped his fingers:
Which family is the most powerful in Yau Tsim Mong?

"It's not one of the traditional top ten triads, not He Tu, not the Number Gang... it's the Ni family!"

Handsome Kun panicked:

"Ah Dao, the Ni family is not to be trifled with."

"We can't afford to mess with the Ni family; those guys are all armed."

"Provoking them would be a huge problem!"

A sudden thought struck Chen Yongren:
"Is Brother Dao going to take down the Ni family?"

"This seems like good news."

Li Fu asked:

"Uncle Ding, what does the Ni family do?"

Handsome Kun smiled wryly:
“The Ni family is the dominant force in Yau Tsim Mong; they are involved in the drug trade.”

"Even in the whole of Hong Kong, they are one of the most powerful underground forces."

Li Fu said coldly:
"Those who sell drugs? Then let's take them down!"

Liang Kun was speechless, and even somewhat frantic.

If the Ni family were so easy to take down, the traditional triads in Yau Tsim Mong would have already swarmed in.

But right now, the Ni family is still the boss of Yau Tsim Mong. Even large triads like the Number Gang don't want to mess with the Ni family.

Handsome Kun smiled wryly:
"We are a traditional triad, and there's no need for us to provoke the Ni family."

Li Fu asked, puzzled:
How many of them are there?

Handsome Kun shook his head:
"not much."

Li Fu was even more puzzled:

Are they very good at fighting?

Liang Kun still shook his head:

"Their combat effectiveness is average."

Li Fu asked directly:

"Master Ding, then why should we be concerned about the Ni family?"

Liang Kun had to explain:

“The Ni family is a drug dealer. In the entire Yau Tsim Mong district, there are no other drug dealers.”

"You all know that selling rice noodles is a quick and lucrative business."

"But because of this, they are easily targeted by the police."

"Almost everyone in the Ni family carries a gun."

“Their approach is completely different from that of traditional societies.”

“Traditional community organizations only cause injuries in major incidents.”

“The Ni family is different; every matter they handle is a major event.”

“The Ni family’s main business is selling drugs; collecting protection money is just a side thing.”

"If you have to put it bluntly, the Ni family's influence is not as great as that of traditional gangs."

"But they were all fighting for their lives!"

"We don't need to, and really don't need to, have a conflict with them."

Li Fu said earnestly:
"Why not just wipe them all out?"

Liang Kun was stunned!
Chen Yongren suddenly looked up at his colleague.

What is this word?

What does it mean to change them all?

Wang Dao said at the opportune moment:

“Afghan is from the north. He’s a retired soldier.”

Both Leung Kwan and Chan Wing Yan were taken aback.

Wang Dao asked Li Fu:
"You have no psychological burden after killing the Ni family members, right?"

Li Fu said calmly:
“In mainland China, you can eat peanuts with just five grams of rice flour.”

"Killing them is a meritorious deed!"

Young Kun was almost frantic:
"No, no, no, Adao, Afu, you mustn't actually get into a conflict with the Ni family."

"They just leave the fandom, and even if they are attacked, they can hide and no one can find them."

"But our place is in the open!"

"They always find the right person."

Li Fu immediately looked at Wang Dao, who smiled and said:
"Brother Kun, the current situation is quite clear."

"Jiang Tiansheng is treacherous and cunning. He has set a dead end for us. The triads in Mong Kok are fully prepared and waiting for us to fall into their trap."

“Following the script designed by Jiang Tiansheng is the worst possible strategy.”

"It's like playing chess. We're surrounded by opponents who are trapping us and trying to kill our dragon."

"To win, you must step outside the chessboard."

"Besides, if even you didn't expect us to take action against the Ni family, then no one else would either."

“If Jiang Tiansheng doesn’t think of this, his script will be scrapped.”

“The traditional triads in Yau Tsim Mong don’t think of this either, so they will be doing useless work.”

“The Ni family didn’t think of this either, which gave us an opportunity.”

Finally, seeing that Liang Kun still wanted to object, Wang Dao smiled and said,

"Brother Kun, we don't necessarily have to fight them to the death to establish our foothold in the Ni family's sphere of influence!"

Liang Kun's eyes widened:
"Do you still want to cooperate with them?"
