Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 241 Going with the Flow
"Hung Hing wants to destroy Hung Tai?"

When Wang Dao relayed this news to the martial arts world through the organization's channels, the martial arts world was in an uproar.

Everyone couldn't believe it.

"Hung Hing and Hung Tai are both triads with the Hung prefix. How did they end up fighting?"

"What's so special about that? The number pools are still being used every day!"

“This is different; the Hung triads are still very united.”

"Stop arguing, we know the reason. It's because Hung Tai's heir wanted to force himself on the wives of Leung Kwan and Han Bin. Hung Hing's report said that this was a revenge operation, and the targets were Leung Kwan's Mong Kok and Han Bin's Kwai Tsing."

“Hung Hing occupies more than a third of Yau Tsim Mong and Kwai Tsing. Although Hung Hing did not mobilize its entire force, even just these two branches are not something that all triads can withstand.”

"Butt Eyebrow is really unlucky to have such a son."

"Butt-eyebrow isn't entirely innocent. The Crown Prince is his son, and he spoils him rotten. It's no wonder he turned out badly. The ones who are unlucky are Hongtai's elders and various hall masters."

"Handsome Kun really dares to do that!"

"Nonsense, his wife has been threatened. If he doesn't take action, people will really think he's just a movie actor."

"No, who would dare mistake Handsome Kun for a movie actor?"

"The crown prince of Hongtai!"

"Hong Tai's massacre of his entire family was not unjust!"

Lin Yaochang from Xinliansheng called:

"Brother Kun, that ass-eyebrow guy is a scoundrel. He dares to do such a despicable thing."

"You give the word, and Xinliansheng will be there whenever you call."

Handsome Kun laughed:

"Thank you, Brother Chang, but the matter is resolved."

Lin Yaochang didn't understand:

"Is the matter resolved?"

Liang Kun calmly said:
"Hongtai is destroyed!"

Lin Yaochang: "...Okay, Brother Kun, I'll treat you to tea later."

Handsome Kun laughed loudly:

"I'll treat you. I'll call you when I have time."

Just as Liang Kun hung up the phone, Da D called:
"Brother Kun, Hong Tai is courting death. He even dares to mess with Sister-in-law and the others."

"You give the word, and I'll bring a thousand men to support you tonight!"

Handsome Kun sighed:

"Big D, the martial arts world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and social interactions. We are civilized people."

"There's no need for all this fighting and killing."

Big D exclaimed:
"Brother Kun, have you been threatened?"

Handsome Kun was speechless: "Who dares to threaten me?"

Big D asked, puzzled:
"Then why are you talking nonsense? Your sister-in-law has been threatened."

“…Your brain is malfunctioning,” Liang Kun sighed heavily, “What I mean is that Hong Tai’s entire family has been wiped out.”

Big D was horrified:

"What? Their entire family was wiped out? And only a few hours have passed?"

Liang Kun was very pleased:

"It's just Hong Tai, how long will it take to deal with them?"

Big D exclaimed in admiration:

"I thought I was going to help, but unfortunately I missed an opportunity to do so."

"Brother Kun, you've got guts now. My treat."

Handsome Kun sighed:

"Why go to a restaurant? Come over to my house for tea when you have time."

"The social engagements made me drink so much I threw up."

Big D was very excited:

"No problem, I'll treat you later."

Liang Kun simply dialed the office phone, pushed open the door, and yelled:

"Just call me if there's anything at the company."

Wang Dao walked over, holding the phone:

"It's almost time to get off work, why are you making phone calls?"

Liang Kun pointed to his phone and asked:

"What are you doing?"

Wang Dao did not shy away from him:
"Make a call to Brother Zhong in advance and tell him that although the upper echelons of Hongtai have been beheaded, we still have to fight for their territory ourselves."

"Brother Zhong, we'll have to trouble the police station to maintain order tonight."

"Brother Kun is a very kind person."

After hanging up the phone, Liang Kun said with a dark face:

"What do you want to do?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"The police officers are standing guard and maintaining traffic for us. They work very hard, so it's only right that we give them some compensation for their hard work, isn't it?"

Liang Kun instantly understood the meaning of "the way of kings":
"You mean you want to donate Hong Tai's black money to the Kowloon Police Station?"

Wang Dao corrected:
"We need to donate one-third of it."

Liang Kun was taken aback:
"so much?"

Wang Dao sighed:

"Boss, all of Hongtai's money is illicit, so it's not easy to deal with. Of course, as long as it's illicit money, we can launder it through movie box office revenue."

"However, Hongtai's most valuable asset is not here."

"The property was purchased by the community."

"In comparison, cash is the least valuable thing."

"Besides that, Hongtai's manpower is also the most valuable asset."

Liang Kun pondered for a moment and said:
"Having taken in Hong Tai's underlings, one must bear the consequences of their actions."

Wang Dao shrugged:

"What does the trouble that Hung Tai caused have to do with Hung Hing?"

Handsome Kun laughed heartily:

"You're a dirty-minded kid, but you're right. What does the trouble Hong Tai caused have to do with Hung Hing?"

"In that case, our strength in the Yau Ma Tei branch will increase again."

Wang Dao reminded him:
"Brother Kun, we only need half of the property. We can leave the rest to the gang."

Liang Kun felt a pang of regret:

"Hand it over to the club?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

“You are, after all, the Grand Marshal of Hung Hing. Even if you are doing things in your own branch, you are still doing so because of the triad’s influence.”

Liang Kun looked Wang Dao up and down:

"Since when did you start thinking about the club like this?"

Wang Dao chuckled and said:

"Otherwise what? Are we supposed to deal with those problems ourselves?"

Liang Kun was speechless; he knew Wang Dao was up to no good.

"Okay, let's get some people together tonight."

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Okay!"

The gathering was at Liang Kun's house. Besides Wang Dao and his wife, Han Bin and his wife were also there.

Bozi said:

"Ruby is still in shock, so I had someone arrange for her to stay at Yaowen's place."

Lam Kwan nodded:
“Jianjun is never in the arena; Jianguo is the one in charge of his arena.”

"Yaowen, that guy, really likes to stay in the arena."

"However, I suggest you send Ruby to the pretty mom's place."

Bozi was taken aback:
"Go to Liang Ma's place?"

Liang Kun explained:
“Liang Ma’s place needs a lot of talent. With Liang Ma’s support, she will recover quickly.”

"Wei Jixiang disappointed her, and that hurt her!"

Bozi sneered.

Wang Dao shrugged:

“Ever since his wife died unexpectedly, Wei Jixiang has lost the courage to roam the underworld.”

"He has never truly gotten over the trauma of his wife's death."

"However, what he did is truly hard to explain."

Lok Wai-chun brought up the old story again:
“You once told me that one shouldn’t be like Wei Jixiang, and I never understood it until today.”

After Wei Jixiang's wife, Achan, died, Wei Dahong was always taken care of by Ruby, who was also his confidante.

As a result, when Prince Hongtai tried to force himself on Ruby, he didn't dare to step forward.

At that moment, Ruby's heart died.

This is what you get after years of hard work; no one could accept that.

Han Bin didn't care what Wei Jixiang was like; he asked:

"Van, should I send someone to take care of Wei Jixiang?"

Whether Wei Jixiang was pitiful or not was not a consideration for Han Bin.

There are plenty of pitiful people in Hong Kong; one more like Wai Cheung won't make a difference.

Making Vanzie feel frightened is a capital offense.

Le Huizhen gave a thumbs up: "Binny is amazing, a real wife-protecting maniac!"

"It's okay, I wasn't scared at all, I actually found it quite exciting." Van laughed heartily, "It's been so long since I've had any gaming buddies!"

Wang Dao shook his head: "Don't worry about Wei Jixiang, he'll get what's coming to him later."

Everyone asked what happened.

"Wei Jixiang was able to rise to power back then because Sangbo kidnapped Crown Prince Hongtai."

"Hongtai's crown prince almost died."

"If it weren't for Wei Jixiang risking his life to save him back then, that guy would have been reincarnated long ago."

"Sangbo originally wanted to kill Wei Jixiang and the Crown Prince, but accidentally bumped into Wei Jixiang's wife, Achan."

"Later, Sangbo was imprisoned and sentenced to five years."

"Judging by the time, it should be released in about a year."

"What do you think Zangbo will do after he comes out?"

Van replied without hesitation:
"Let's get our revenge!"

Wang Dao nodded slightly.

"Revenge is a given."

“This guy must be full of resentment because he served five years in prison for Wei Jixiang.”

"If it weren't for that guy, he would have run away with the money long ago."

“Once Sangbo comes out, Wei Jixiang will definitely die, and his children won’t escape either.”

Everyone fell silent.

The Way of Kings is straightforward:
"Don't pity him."

"The path is chosen by people. When he was betraying his friends, he thought about this day coming."

“That old devil Ni Kun is indeed a scoundrel, but he said one thing that is very true: what goes around comes around.”

"That's their fate."

Everyone nodded in unison.

Liang Kun asked, "Ah Dao, you suggested gathering everyone here, is there something you need?"

Han Bin said in astonishment:
"Isn't it to calm the ladies' nerves?"

Liang Kun and Wang Dao both rolled their eyes.

Wang Dao casually pointed:
“Look at those two women, do they show even the slightest sign of fright?”

"Why do I only see their pity for Ruby?"

Bozi laughed:

"Binny, have you forgotten? We used to be friends all the time."

Han Bin was helpless; he often forgot this point.

Wang Dao then pointed at Le Huizhen and said:

“Our Ah Zhen doesn’t have any friends who are good at fighting, but the people she sees most often are dead people.”

"Many scenes of police officers fighting, even gunfights, are featured on police programs, and deaths are commonplace."

"Anyway, I've never been afraid of Ah Zhen."

"She didn't even use police pepper spray in this situation."

"It'll definitely be fine."

Han Bin was shocked:

"Police pepper spray?!"

Lok Wai-chun was very pleased:
"We're pretty girls, so if we run into a pervert, we need to be prepared."

She took a spray bottle out of her handbag.
"This is police spray, it's good stuff. If you spray it in your eyes, they'll swell and tear up within three hours."

“Not only do I have one, but Bozi and Vanzi also have one.”

"I begged Brother Zhong to get it for me."

Han Bin smiled wryly:
"Since you have this, why are you fighting with beer bottles?"

Van said seriously:

"This thing isn't very lethal; a beer bottle is much more direct."

"Police pepper spray is the last resort."

"Of course, it couldn't have been used from the very beginning."

Han Bin had nothing to say.

"Ado, why have you gathered us together?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Of course we should go with the flow."

Liang Kun and Han Bin were completely puzzled. Should they just go with the flow?

What is this?
The Way of the King:

"Kun, Binni, you've taken quite a few phone calls just now, haven't you?"

They both nodded.

Wang Dao smiled and said:
"I also received quite a few phone calls."

“Some of them were calls from their own gangs, like Chen Yao, Liang Ma, A Qiang, Yi Mian, and Brother Ji.”

“Some of the calls came from other clubs, like Gu Xiaoyu and her group.”

"I guess you feel the same way, right?"

Liang Kun shrugs:

"Yes, we issued a notice, so it's normal for them to call."

Han Bin nodded as well.

In terms of extensive connections, neither Liang Kun nor Wang Dao can compare to him. After all, he has been "the undisputed next leader of Hetu" for several years.

Wang Dao smiled and said:
"Didn't we say earlier that we wanted to find a sustainable way for Brother Narrow-Eyed?"

"Now is an opportunity."

Neither Liang Kun nor Han Bin understood Wang Dao's meaning, nor did the three women.

Wang Dao shrugged:

"The desire for profit drives people's hearts. If we take the lead in doing such things, it will be difficult to distinguish whether those gangs are sincere or not."

"Now is a good opportunity to tell whether they are human or ghosts."

"I may not remember who called, but I will definitely remember who didn't call."

Handsome Kun immediately said:
"He Xingsheng did not call."

Han Bin's expression was very unpleasant:
"The number starting with 'Loyalty' didn't call. The other numbers also didn't call."

Neither Heliansheng nor Hexingsheng called.

Liang Kun was taken aback:
"what?"

"He Lian Sheng's Big D and Chuan Bao did call me."

“Yi Zidui’s bearded Yong also called me.”

Han Bin's expression darkened further.

clap clap clap!
Kingly Way Claps:
"This is a good thing."

"It allows us to clearly distinguish between human and demon."

In the world of martial arts, few people offer help in times of need; not kicking someone when they're down is considered a sign of good character.

Liang Kun reminded him:
"Ado, be careful of these people, they are two-faced villains."

Wang Dao laughed:

“Brother Kun, we are businessmen, so we naturally understand that stance is stance and business is business.”

"Even if we leave the market, we can still do business together."

"What's the point of sharing the same stance if the other party isn't even willing to do business with us?"

Everyone nodded in agreement; Wang Dao's words made sense.

"As long as we can discuss business together and have common interests, even if we have different positions, we can still talk things over slowly."

These words resonated with everyone.

That's right. If you're not even willing to do business together, what good is it if the person is one of your own?

Handsome Kun clapped his hands and said:
"Ado, then come up with a plan."

Wang Dao thought for a moment and said:

"How about I make a three-year plan?"

Han Bin was taken aback:
"That far ahead?"

The gangsters are like the saying goes, "They live for today and don't live for tomorrow," and three years is already a long time.

The kingly way is particularly helpless:

"Binny, we're business people!"

"Even if you're seventy, you can continue working if you don't want to retire."

"Three years is nothing at all?"

"I simply judged that the recent time changes were relatively large, so I left some room for maneuver."

Han Bin felt embarrassed and suddenly realized that his previously proud talents were no match for Wang Dao.

Wang Dao smiled and said:
"The things we're going to face will be much more troublesome in the future."

As the saying goes, "If you are prepared, you will succeed; if you are not prepared, you will fail."

“We’re going to do that right now.”

"After all, our goal is to become a truly wealthy person!"

Liang Kun and Han Bin exchanged a smile. Indeed, their target was a truly wealthy person.

Van asked:
"Are you really not worried about what will happen tonight?"

Han Bin explained:
"Don't worry, all the leaders of Hongtai have gone into business, and the remaining gangsters can't cause any trouble."

What Piyou fears most is being headless. All the powerful uncles and hall masters below the level of Piyou have been taken by Han Bin to fill the sea, leaving Hongtai without anyone in charge.

What's the point of fighting then?

Wang Dao sneered:
“Our Hong-branded triads don’t take on fans, but Hong Tai is an exception.”

"Why do you think Sangbo kidnapped Hongtai's crown prince?"

"That kid owes Sangbo ten million."

Everyone was taken aback, and Han Bin exclaimed:
"Ten million?"

"So many?"

That was ten million four years ago!

"It was destined that thing would end up in our hands."

Suddenly, a thought struck Liang Kun:
"Ah Dao, do you know about Hong Tai's powder warehouse?"

"We can't let Ah Zhong's efforts go to waste."

"In business, there must be give and take; only then can it last!"

Wang Dao laughed heartily:

"Brother Kun, you've got a great business sense."

“Brother Zhong will definitely be happy.”

Han Bin looked at Wang Dao in disbelief:

"Ado, do you really know where their powder storage is?"

Wang Dao nodded:
"Yes!"

Han Binren was completely numb.

"Do you have a mole in Hongtai?"

Wang Dao curled his lip:
"This kind of 'butt-eyebrow' approach is already unpopular; do I really need to hammer nails into it?"

"I just need to ask around a bit with Feng Media to find out."

There are plenty of people in the underworld who make a living through shady dealings, and naturally, there are countless media outlets.

However, obtaining this level of intelligence is extremely difficult, and Han Bin truly cannot understand how Wang Dao does it.

Handsome Kun laughed:

"Call him again afterward."

Wang Dao thought for a moment and said:

"I'd better call him now."

Liang Kun was puzzled.

Wang Dao explained:
"While we could fight back afterward, it could easily damage our reputation and that of Brother Zhong."

Now, not only was Liang Kun puzzled, but everyone else was too.

Wang Dao shrugged:

"There is an understanding between the community and the police station: gangs can fight each other, but they cannot affect ordinary citizens."

"However, this kind of thing cannot be made public."

"If this news gets out, the public will think that the police station and the triads are in cahoots and are doing the same thing."

“If the police station is also taking action when we are taking action, then there will be no problem.”

"Others will only say that Inspector Chan Kwok-chung is incredibly brave and has solved another drug trafficking case."

"Only those in the martial arts world know the truth."

"Everyone is happy."

Han Bin frowned and said, "Adao, this makes people think you're wearing red shoes."

"Wearing red shoes?" Liang Kun interjected.

"joke!"

"Our wives were almost violated by that bastard. For that reason alone, who dares to say we're wearing red shoes?"

Han Bin had nothing to say.

Liang Kun added:

"Among us gangsters, who doesn't have a few police officers as friends?"

"Even if they don't, they'll always bribe a few officers."

"Anyone who dares to say I'm wearing red shoes... I'll kill them!"
