Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 75 Handsome Kun Calls Again: In over ten years since his debut, today has been the most exhilarating.

"Ah Kun, you did a great job!"

"The company will not forget your contributions. With Gan Zitai able to gain a foothold, our Hung Hing will have another branch, and the brothers will earn more income."

"I will recommend you for merit at the Hall of Gathering Righteousness."

Jiang Tiansheng managed to say these words with difficulty, and then hung up the phone with some "uh-huh" sounds.

boom!
Jiang Tiansheng smashed the phone!

He yanked off his tie violently, his face contorted in pain.
"Damn handsome Kun!"

Chen Yao was terrified:

"Mr. Jiang, tonight's operation..."

Jiang Tiansheng roared:
"What action?"

“Brother Kun has thrown all the top members of Tung Sing into the hospital. They won’t be able to get out for at least six months.”

There will be no action tonight.

"Let the brothers go back."

Chen Yao was shocked:

"Mr. Jiang, we spent five million!"

Five million in toll fees is a huge sum of money, even from the perspective of a triad.

Jiang Tiansheng calmed down and gave a bitter smile:

"It's too late."

"Aben's henchmen have been crippled by Liang Kun."

"This grand dragon and phoenix formation requires Aben's cooperation."

"We can't do it on our own without them."

"Have them withdrawn."

Chen Yao quickly made the arrangements.

Jiang Tiansheng sat down again, and it took him a long time to calm down. He felt quite incredulous.

"That's a Red Pole of the Five Tigers of Tung Sing, how did Young Kun manage to do that?"

After Chen Yao returned from making the arrangements, Jiang Tiansheng told him about his conversation with Liang Kun. Chen Yao then asked the same question that Jiang Tiansheng had:

"Zhuo Kele is a top-tier fighter, a double-flower red stick level. How exactly did Liang Kun manage to get them into the hospital?"

Jiang Tiansheng has completely regained his composure:

"That's right, that's the problem. How exactly did Young Kun manage to do that?"

Chen Yao asked:

"Is Handsome Kun lying?"

He smiled wryly,

“I know that Kwan would never tell a lie that is so easy to expose, but this is just too unbelievable.”

"Even if Gan Zitai helped him, there's no way he could have beaten these four people so badly they had to go to the hospital, right?"

"Zhuo Kele is no less capable than Gan Zitai, and Liang Kun isn't known for his fighting skills..."

Jiang Tiansheng's heart stirred:
“Liang Kun told me that he arranged for the person to be treated at Mingxin Hospital.”

"Go and have someone take a look."

Chen Yao asked:

"Just going to take a look?"

Jiang Tiansheng thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head:
"Killing Zhuo Kele is tempting, but Dongxing Aben is probably already insane."

"Besides, killing them in the hospital would have a terrible impact. We can't afford to provoke Aben again now."

"I'd rather provoke a camel than provoke Aben."

Chen Yao immediately understood:

"I went to the hospital to investigate myself."

Jiang Tiansheng nodded slowly:
"be careful."

Chen Yao nodded repeatedly:

"I will!"

Even without Jiang Tiansheng reminding him, he would be careful.

Damn, the atmosphere is really off tonight. Zhuo Kele, Hua Fu, Hua Bao, and Situ Haonan are all well-known figures in the underworld.

If anyone told him that these four guys would get beaten so badly they couldn't get out of bed when they were together, Chen Yao definitely wouldn't believe it.

Now that even these four ruthless guys are lying in hospital beds, Chen Yao can't afford to be careless.

Chen Yao left.

Jiang Tiansheng stared blankly at the coffee in his hand, and suddenly a feeling called regret arose:

"Has Liang Kun really grown to this level?"

"That was a really high-level move!"

He knew that by tomorrow, the name of "Brother Kun" would be known throughout the underworld. He was already quite famous for being able to take two streets from the Ni family in Yau Tsim Mong.

But in the eyes of the real big shots, it's not enough at all.

Why?

Ugly Kun was originally just a cannon fodder thrown out by Hung Hing.

He was able to break into Mong Kok, so he must have some ability. But even with all that ability, he's still just a cannon emplacement.

However, tonight is completely different.

They accurately pinpointed the weakness of the Great Dragon and Phoenix, striking it with a single blow, and simultaneously provided support to Gan Zitai with both offense and defense. This is something that a cannon could not do; this is a chess player!

Who would dare call him "Straw Sandal Kun" now? "Big Boss Kun" is more like it!
Jiang Tiansheng sighed heavily. He would have to work harder to win over Liang Kun in the future.

This highly anticipated grand event never took place.

However, one of the parties involved, Aben, was completely unaware of this.

It sounds unbelievable, doesn't it?

But actually, I really don't know.

Ah Ben is not only a major water tap for Tung Sing, but also a successful businessman. His daily attire is not for show, but a natural outfit for work.

He handled all the club affairs through Zhuo Kele and Hua Bao.

The advantage of doing this is that unless the police arrest the two men and make them witnesses for prosecution, they cannot be charged.

Of course, given Zhuo Kele and Hua Bao's level of awareness, it's practically impossible for them to become tainted witnesses for the police station.

Both of them knew that if something went wrong, they could take the blame themselves and still have a chance to get out. But if they revealed Ah Ben's identity, they would be executed without a trace.

The advantage of what Aben did was safety, but the downside was that he wouldn't be able to receive news immediately if something unexpected happened.

However, Aben always runs his organization with a businessman's mindset: he makes plans in advance, assigns tasks to people, and even if there are losses, they are within the scope of the plan.

At this moment, Aben is at home smoking a cigar and sipping red wine, which seems out of place no matter how you look at it, but he likes it.

He is waiting.

If today's "Big Dragon and Phoenix" project succeeds, Tung Sing's territory in Tsim Sha Tsui will at least double in size.

Jiang Tiansheng is not a soft-hearted person; he will definitely not let this opportunity pass him by.

If the two work together, the power structure in Tsim Sha Tsui will be slightly reorganized.

For this, both parties spent five million.

Five million is certainly a lot of money, but Aben doesn't care.

Doing business requires capital, and this five million is the cost of expanding the territory.

There are too many entertainment venues in Tsim Sha Tsui, and the economy is doing well.

Once we've secured the territory, I'll take any amount, not just five million, but even more than five million!
Aben smiled, glanced at his watch, and thought, "Hmm, it's midnight now. It's about time to wrap things up, isn't it?"

Just as I was thinking this, the phone rang.

Aben smiled slightly. Sure enough, everything was under his control. Now he was calling to share the good news.

However, when he answered the phone, Aben's expression changed. It wasn't Zhuo Kele or Hua Bao calling; it was Liang Kun.

"Uncle Ben, our two clubs are friendly clubs."

"But in the last two days, I've discovered that someone is trying to sabotage our relationship."

"Someone must be doing something behind your back."

"I'm furious. How could someone misuse my name?"

"Uncle Ben is kind-hearted, and I'm standing up for you."

"After my investigation, I discovered that the culprits who ruined Uncle Ben's reputation were none other than Zhuo Kele, Hua Bao, Hua Fu, and Situ Haonan."

"So I punished them by making them stay in bed for six months."

“I originally wanted to kill them, but then I thought that these people were Uncle Ben’s men after all—to clean house, Uncle Ben had to do it himself.”

“They are at Mingxin Hospital now, Uncle Ben. You don’t need to thank me. It’s what I should do.”

"Those two phone calls were excellent!"

"Wouldn't Jiang Tiansheng and Aben be furious?"

"Hahaha!"

Handsome Kun laughed triumphantly.

Wang Dao smiled and asked:
"Brother Kun, is it good?"

Handsome Kun gave a thumbs-up and shouted:

"That was fucking awesome!"

Wang Dao chuckled and said:

"Starting tomorrow, how people in the martial arts world address you will change."

Handsome Kun asked excitedly:

"What's the name?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Big Brother Kun!"

Liang Kun froze for a moment, then, realizing what was happening, he banged on the executive desk:
"Big Boss Kun?"

"it is good!"

"That's a good name!"

Bullshit, Cao Sha Wujing! I'll be the boss Kun from now on!

Wang Dao said softly:
"Aben and Jiang Tiansheng joined forces to create the Great Dragon and Phoenix, for their own benefit."

"Both were based on the premise of sacrificing Gan Zitai's interests, or rather, Gan Zitai was Jiang Tiansheng's way of showing sincerity to Aben."

"The two, under the guise of the Great Dragon and Phoenix, cleared out the forces surrounding Dongxing."

"If they succeed, both Tung Sing and Hung Hing will gain significant benefits."

"The ones who will suffer are Gan Zitai and the forces surrounding Dongxing."

Handsome Kun laughed heartily:

"Those two are really ruthless and vicious, but no matter how insidious they are, you still managed to ruin everything, didn't you?"

"Well done!"

Wang Dao corrected:
"It's not that I did a good job, it's that you did a good job, Brother Kun."

Handsome Kun said speechlessly:
"What nonsense are you spouting in front of me?"

"You did this, why should I take credit for it?"

Wang Dao was speechless:
"If the leader wants to maintain stability, he must know how to use people effectively."

"No matter how capable your underlings are, you are the boss. The achievements are naturally yours, unless they stand out on their own. Otherwise, no matter what achievements they make, the boss will always get the top spot."

Leung Kwan seemed to be deep in thought:
"So, it doesn't seem wrong."

Wang Dao said earnestly:
"This is the positioning of being the leader."

Liang Kun was taken aback.

Wang Dao will not miss any opportunity to provoke Liang Kun.

"Take today's events as an example."

"If Aben's plan succeeds, Zhuo Kele, Hua Fu, Hua Bao, Situ Haonan and others will shine brightly."

"Will people in the martial arts world say they are powerful?"

Handsome Kun shook his head:
"How is that possible?"

"These four guys are nothing more than henchmen carrying out Aben's plan."

"The credit still goes to Aben."

Wang Dao clapped his hands and said:
"That's right!"

"I am your leader, but are my achievements just my achievements?"

"Not really!"

"You deserve some credit for this, boss."

"Because you're the boss."

He gave another example,
"Just like today, Afu Ajie took Zhuo Kele and the others to the hospital."

"Was that their achievement?"

Liang Kun's Strange Path:

"Isn't this their achievement?"

Wang Dao corrected:
"Of course it's their credit, but it's not just their credit."

"I'm their leader, so I naturally deserve some credit for this."

"Moreover, my contribution is greater than theirs!"

Handsome Kun nodded repeatedly:

"Yes."

Li Fu and Li Jie exchanged a glance, completely agreeing. They both thought to themselves, "Dao Ge's contribution is naturally greater than ours."

After all, we only took down one of them in a one-on-one fight, but Brother Dao took down two of them in a one-on-two fight.

Of course, he wouldn't say such things to Liang Kun.

Liang Kun fell into deep thought, and after a long while said:

"Is this the real way to be a boss?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Being the boss is neither difficult nor difficult."

"Able to recognize talent, tolerant of others, and fair in rewards and punishments."

“If you can do these things, you’re a good leader.”

"You happen to have all these advantages, boss."

"And Jiang Tiansheng, he actually threw you and Gan Zitai here to be used as artillery positions."

"He truly lacks the ability to judge character." Liang Kun was quite smug.

"No, Jiang Tiansheng is still capable."

"But he didn't expect that I would have the three of you as helpers, and that's the reason for his failure!"

Wang Dao gives a thumbs up:
"The boss sees it clearly."

Liang Kun chuckled:

"Of all the years I've been in the industry, today has been the most enjoyable."

"To turn one's hand to make clouds, or to turn one's hand to make rain."

"So this is what it feels like to show off."

Wang Dao and the other three burst into laughter.

Although Liang Kun spoke crudely, everyone felt that he spoke just right.

To achieve the greatest results with the least amount of effort, to accomplish a great deal with minimal resources—this sense of accomplishment is naturally pleasurable.

Handsome Kun laughed:

“Ado, you have done such a great thing. According to my rules, you should be rewarded and have a feast.”

"However, this is a special time. Although the Crown Prince planted the flag today, he still has to guard it for three days."

“Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui are closely connected, and we might need your help in the next couple of days.”

"We'll cancel the banquet!"

So...

"Let's split the money!"

The four of them were immediately taken aback.

Liang Kun looked at the four of them and laughed:

"What I value most here is rules. If you do well, you will be rewarded; if you do poorly, you will be punished."

“You have accomplished such a great thing, so naturally you should be rewarded.”

Pulling open a drawer, Liang Kun pulled out several stacks of large yellow oxen and said to everyone,
“Ado, you are their leader, you have 100,000.”

Wang Dao accepted it without any hesitation.
"Thank you, Brother Kun."

Liang Kun liked Wang Dao's unpretentious manner, and then said to Li Fu and Li Jie:
"You two have worked hard too, 50,000 each."

Li Fu and Li Jie glanced at Wang Dao, who then said directly:

"How could you refuse a reward from Brother Kun?"

The two quickly accepted it, saying repeatedly:

"Thank you, Master Ding."

Handsome Kun laughed heartily, then turned to Chan Wing-yan and said,
“Ah Ren, you didn’t do anything, so there will be no reward this time.”

Chen Yongren said repeatedly:

"Master Ding, I know the rules."

He had no ulterior motives whatsoever; whoever did the work got the reward, which was perfectly fair.

Moreover, who were these big shots who took down?
Zhuo Kele, Hua Bao, Hua Fu, and Situ Haonan—aren't they all renowned figures in the underworld?
Chen Yongren figured that with his small frame, he definitely couldn't withstand their beating!
Seeing his underlings deftly pack up the big yellow ox, Liang Kun was even happier:
"Oh, if it weren't so late, I really would like to have a drink with you guys."

Wang Dao immediately said:
"Brother Kun, there will be plenty of opportunities if you want to drink."

Let's drink it in a couple of days.

Liang Kun was somewhat disappointed.

Wang Dao explained:
"Zhuo Kele and the others have been sent to the hospital by us. Who knows what kind of measures Dongxing might take against you?"

"We can't be careless at this time."

Liang Kun immediately sobered up:
"That's right."

"By the way, what exactly did you do to Zhuo Kele and the others?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Actually, it's nothing much. We just broke the limbs of those four people. But medical technology is very advanced now. With their physiques, it's easy for them to recover from broken limbs."

"So we kicked their internal organs a few times... They should have been bedridden for half a year."

Liang Kun gasped. These guys are ruthless!
Then I really can't go out and have fun anymore.

"Boss, something's not right!"

At the morgue of Mingxin Hospital, Johnny Wang's men reported the sudden situation to him.

Johnny Wang suddenly woke up:
"what time is it?"

The subordinate quickly replied:
It's midnight.

Johnny was wide awake.
"The hospital wards should be closed by now, what's going on?"

The subordinate pointed to the monitor screen and said:

"There are a lot of people coming and going in this room."

"These people are not ordinary people."

Ok?
Johnny quickly went to the monitor, and after just one glance, he breathed a sigh of relief:
“I know the guy in the hospital room.”

"The red sticks of Tung Sing."

The subordinate breathed a sigh of relief:

"In that case, there's nothing to worry about."

To everyone's surprise, Johnny Wang shook his head:
"Who told you nothing was wrong?"

The subordinate was puzzled:

"Isn't it normal for a top-ranking member of Tung Sing to have a few underlings?"

Johnny's expression was very serious:
"What I'm afraid of is that they're not just Zhuo Kele's underlings."

His subordinate was taken aback, and exclaimed in alarm:
"Boss, are you saying they're from a rival gang?"

Johnny Wang said coldly:

"They might not be from rival gangs of Tung Sing; they could be one of their own."

"Could the people who want Zhuo Kele and the others dead be their own people?"

His men suddenly realized.

Those who join gangs always fight for their profits.

The pie is only so big; if you get a bigger slice, I'll get a smaller one. Conflict is inevitable.

For ordinary people, it's not a big deal; at worst, they'll just have a fight.

But it's different for those who roam the underworld.

That's a direct, deadly attack.

His subordinates breathed a sigh of relief once they understood this:

"Boss, it's just gang fighting among themselves anyway, there's no need for us to get involved."

Johnny glared at him:
"Confused!"

"This is not just any place, this is a hospital."

The subordinate asked, puzzled:
"Those guys wouldn't dare to do it in the hospital, would they?"

"But even if we do it, so what?"

"Wouldn't this give the police a handle against us?"

"The police would then have a perfectly legitimate reason to deal with them."

"The media will report on it more extensively."

“These guys wouldn’t do that unless they were stupid.”

Johnny laughed in exasperation:

"Your analysis is so logical, I don't know whether to praise you or insult you?"

The subordinate shrank back:
"Boss, I don't understand what you're saying."

Johnny Wang snorted coldly:

"You do not understand?"

"How the hell could you not understand?"

"If Zhuo Kele and the others die in the hospital, the police will surround the hospital and they will search every inch of it to find out the truth."

"This is not just Mingxin Hospital, it's also our base."

"With the police around, how can we get anything done?"

"Aren't you going to do business anymore?"

The subordinate suddenly realized and quickly said:

“I’ll send the patrol team out to patrol and give those gang members a warning.”

Johnny waved his hand, and his subordinate quickly moved aside to make a phone call. After he finished, Johnny asked again:

"What is that policeman you asked me to keep an eye on doing?"

The subordinate scratched his head:
"I didn't do anything..."

"It seems like they're guarding against a major dragon and phoenix."

Johnny Wang was taken aback, his eyes flashing with murderous intent:
Why didn't you tell me about this sooner?

The subordinate was startled:
"Boss, we're in the arms smuggling business, we can't play along with those traditional gangs."

"Just a few big dragons and phoenixes... What year doesn't this happen a few times?"

Johnny grabbed his collar and said fiercely:

"The bigger the dragon and phoenix that stirs up the underworld, the more it will attract the attention of the police, and the fewer police officers will be watching us."

"And the more room we have to maneuver, the more room we have to maneuver."

"You idiot, you wasted a valuable opportunity of ours."

His hands were sweating, and he quickly said:
"Boss, I was wrong. I will definitely report to you next time something happens."

Johnny put him down abruptly and said coldly, "If there's a next time, you'll be feeding the fish in Victoria Harbour!"

His subordinate nodded vigorously.

Working for Johnny Wang is your responsibility; don't even think about running away. Making mistakes is okay; as long as you're brave enough to admit them, you'll still have a chance.

But if you try to deceive him, you'll be in big trouble.

Johnny will make you regret it!
What big events are happening tonight?

The subordinate dared not delay and quickly replied:
"I heard that Ah Ben from Tung Sing is going to have a showdown with Chiang Tin-sang from Hung Hing..."

His subordinates recounted all the rumors circulating in the streets.

Johnny shook his head:

"Just empty words to deceive people."

The subordinate was stunned:

"To deceive people?"

Johnny Wang sneered:

"Have you ever seen anyone make a dragon and phoenix sculpture like this?"

"Let me tell you the truth..."

"These two companies have joined forces to plot against the triad power in Tsim Sha Tsui."

His subordinates were terrified:

"So insidious?"

Johnny Wong shrugged:

"What kind of insidiousness is this?"

"What the clubs are fighting for is profit."

"They unite to do things that are beneficial."

"They certainly won't do anything without profit."

"It's that simple."

The subordinate said speechlessly:
Where is Gan Zitai?

Johnny Wang said indifferently:

"If two organizations want to cooperate, they naturally need to show some sincerity."

"Gan Zitai represents Hung Hing's sincerity in handing over to Tung Sing."

The subordinate asked curiously:

"Hung Hing's sincerity towards Tung Sing? Why not do it the other way around?"

Johnny said expressionlessly:

"Does Tung Sing have a branch in Tsim Sha Tsui? Does Hung Hing have one?"

The subordinate shook his head:
"No."

"Let alone Tsim Sha Tsui, even in Mong Kok, Hung Hing has only just established its branches."

Johnny nodded:

“You’re right. In Tsim Sha Tsui, Hung Hing is the weaker party. If they want to cooperate with Tung Sing, they naturally have to show their sincerity.”

"Gan Zitai's intentions go beyond mere sincerity."

"If you want to make a big splash, you need a good excuse."

"Gan Zitai is that excuse."

His subordinate gasped.

dirty!
It's so damn dirty!

Those bosses are truly ruthless.

The subordinate thought to himself, "My boss is the best. He can hide these things from me."

Suddenly, an idea popped into my head.

"How could the boss possibly see through such a dirty scheme?"

"Is this how the boss thinks on a daily basis?"

"No...impossible!"

His subordinates quickly banished this treasonous thought from their minds.

Can't think any more.

If I keep thinking about this, I'm afraid I'll really end up feeding the fish in Victoria Harbour.

Johnny Wang didn't care what his subordinates thought at all.

If he knew what his subordinates were thinking, he might actually be quite pleased.

He would rather be feared than respected.

"Are all these江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the martial arts world) figures here tonight just a coincidence, or is someone setting me up?"

Johnny Wang didn't think anyone was setting him up, but people in his line of work have to be extremely careful, because if anything goes wrong, all their efforts will be in vain!
