Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 90 Ni Yongxiao Makes His Appearance

Liang Kun was quite surprised to hear this, and turned to ask Wang Dao:

"Does our company have any family members of Mr. Ni?"

Wang Dao said calmly:
"There are people here with the surname Li, Wang, and Chen, but no one with the surname Ni."

Liang Kun said to Ni Yongxiao with great regret:
"Excuse me, Mr. Ni, you've come to the wrong place."

“Mr. Ni Kun’s children are not here.”

“Mr. Ni is a celebrity in Yau Tsim Mong. If he had any blood relatives here, I would have worshipped him long ago.”

Ni Yongxiao gave the two of them a deep look:
"I've done what I asked for, so I won't bother you any longer."

Liang Kun secretly curled his lip, and Wang Dao quietly nudged him. Liang Kun wore a fake smile on his face.
"I'll see Mr. Ni off."

Ni Yongxiao politely expressed his gratitude:
"Mr. Li, please wait. You're busy."

Liang Kun stopped in his tracks and let the three of them leave.

Han Chen's smile faded, and he couldn't help but say to Ni Yongxiao:
"Ah-Hsiao, something's wrong with Liang-Kun."

Ni Yongxiao disagreed:
"What's wrong?"

“He is a leader of Hung Hing, and he has always kept his distance from people like us.”

"Ah Chen, don't get any ideas about him."

Han Chen smiled:
"how could be?"

Ni Yongxiao calmly said:

“The reason why Leung Kwan treats me this way is because he has the confidence to back it up.”

"Can't you see? He treats me the same way he treats you."

“We’re all in the same boat, he’s just following the rules of Hung Hing and doesn’t want to mess with us.”

"But that doesn't mean he's afraid of us."

Han Chen remained silent.

Ni Yongxiao said as he walked.
“Think about it, how did Lung Kwan manage to get two streets from Blackie and Kwok Wah, and we all know what kind of people those two are.”

"How did Handsome Kun manage to do that?"

“This is a capable man. His focus seems to be on legitimate businesses, and his identity as a member of Hung Hing actually serves as a protection for his legitimate businesses.”

“This kind of guy is the most dangerous. He knows exactly what he wants and is even more aware of what his status can bring him.”

"If you anger him, he won't mind switching identities to play with you."

“A triad like Hung Hing respects us, not because they’re afraid of us.”

"If it really comes down to a fight, they can just draw lots to decide who lives and who dies. Just think about the number of their members. Even if it's one in a thousand, a one-for-one trade is something we can't compare to."

Han Chen's expression immediately changed.

Even when walking, Ni Yongxiao always keeps his upper body very straight, making him look very stylish at first glance.

“Ah Chen, my father used to say that what goes around comes around.”

"This is his destiny."

"However, as his children, avenging him is also our destiny."

Changing the subject, he asked,
What are your plans for tonight?

Han Chen snapped out of his daze and replied:
"The accounts are due tomorrow."

"Gandhi is hosting a dinner party today, and he's treating the four of us to a meal."

Ni Yongxiao smiled and shook his head:

“Gandhi has never made any progress; he is ambitious but incompetent. There’s no need to ask; he must be trying to join forces with you to resist paying the debt.”

Han Chen burst into laughter.

Ni Yongxiao shook his head:

"This is really a good opportunity."

"By the way, could you help me look into someone when you have time?"

Han Chen asked:

"Who?"

Ni Yongxiao said calmly:

“Brother Kun’s first horse is the king.”

Han Chen said in astonishment:
"That young man?"

Ni Yongxiao reminded him:

Don't underestimate him!

What do you think of Handsome Kun?

Han Chen spoke the truth:

"This guy is really popular right now."

"Since his release from prison, he has accomplished a great deal, and his legend is known throughout the martial arts world."

"It's incredibly popular."

"He was the first police chief to break the police's baton, and he also took two streets from us. He also effortlessly ruined the plans of Tung Sing's Ah Ben and Hung Hing's Chiang Tin-sang."

"Mingxin Hospital is now becoming a popular destination for gangsters, because four of the top-tier fighters from the Dongxing Five Tigers are lying in that hospital."

"It's said to have been made by Leung Kwan."

"This skill is amazing."

Ni Yongxiao asked:
"Can you do it?"

Han Chen shook his head:
“I’m a gun enthusiast, but if it were their rules, I couldn’t do it.”

"Handsome Kun is definitely not someone to mess with."

If I don't know, I was surprised when I said it.

Han Chen said incredulously:
"This guy has done so much recently, and he was so polite to you when we met just now..."

"You're really deep in thought!"

Ni Yongxiao gently shook his head:
"deep?"

"His underlying principles are profound."

Han Chen asked, puzzled:
"Ah Xiao, that Wang Dao is just a young guy, why are you paying attention to him?"

Ni Yongxiao said meaningfully:

"You always say that Liang Kun is a deep and scheming man, so why isn't his top lieutenant Sha Qiang and Ah Niu, who are in charge of guarding his two venues? Why is it a young man?"

Han Chen's expression changed drastically:

"Yes!"

Ni Yongxiao casually instructed:
"Start investigating Wangdao tomorrow."

“I am very interested in him.”

Han Chen smiled again:
"Okay!"

Ni Yongxiao turned around and took a deep look at the building behind him; the sign of Qiankun Film and Television Company was shining brightly in the sunlight.

"Is it my imagination?"

"When Wang Dao looked at me, it was as if he could see right through me?"

Ni Yongxiao felt a sense of unease.

People like him are most afraid of their thoughts being exposed.

That's no different from walking naked in the street.

He always felt that Wang Dao's gaze towards him was meaningful.

What gave him this feeling even more was that Chen Yongren's boss was the ultimate authority.

Ni Yongxiao possessed an inexplicable self-confidence, firmly believing that the Ni family's bloodline was noble.

Chen Yongren has the blood of the Ni family, so he must be capable.

If someone like that worships Wang Dao as their leader, then he must possess some abilities that Wang Dao himself is unaware of.

Ni Yongxiao secretly kept this in mind.

"Ah Chen, you should just go to the party tonight."

"We have a lot to do."

He had never been involved in family affairs before and didn't understand many things. Even with his third uncle's support, it would take him some time to get started.

Of course, the most important thing is to win over the other four leaders besides Han Chen.

The Ni family is the only one in power in Yau Tsim Mong, and it can only be the Ni family!

Ni Yongxiao said this to himself.

Liang Kun asked Wang Dao:
"What's this guy doing here?"

Wang Dao looked at the flustered Chen Yongren and smiled:
"For no particular reason, it's just the literal meaning."

Liang Kun asked in surprise:
"So, you're informing Ah Ren that Ni Kun is dead?"

Wang Dao spread his hands:
"Okay, actually it's also to establish our authority and clarify Ah Ren's identity."

"It makes us wary."

Handsome Kun mocked:
“Ah Ren is my brother, what can he possibly make us afraid of?”

Wang Dao shrugged:

"This guy is a scholar, but his heart is dirty."

"Do you think he's trying to sow discord among us?"

Liang Kun asked in bewilderment:
"not us?"

"Who is that?"

Wang Dao leisurely said:
"If my estimate is correct, someone will call soon to ask if Ah Ren is Ni Kun's illegitimate son."

"For example, Jiang Tiansheng and Brother Long."

"Then someone subtly reminded us not to get involved with those who are involved in prostitution."

Handsome Kun cursed:

"Why should I care about them?"

"Ah Ren is my brother, what business is it of theirs?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Yeah, Ah Ren is our brother, what business is it of theirs?"

“But, just like Ah Ren couldn’t become a policeman, Jiang Tiansheng and the others will definitely be worried.”

Handsome Kun mocked:
"What are you worried about?"

"Don't they realize that we didn't acknowledge Ni Kun as our father while he was alive? Do they expect us to acknowledge Ni Yongxiao as our father after he's dead?"

"That's absolutely insane!"

Wang Dao laughed heartily.

Chen Yongren's tense expression relaxed. "That's right, Ni Kun didn't recognize her when he was alive, but they recognized each other after he died?"
Are you kidding me?
Handsome Kun smiled at Chan Wing-yan and said:

“You don’t need to worry about anything. As Adao said, since he’s taken you in, he’ll take responsibility for whatever you do, good or bad.”

"This is the responsibility of being the leader."

Chen Yongren's eyes were a little moist, and he nodded firmly.

Before Liang Kun could continue speaking, the phone rang. He picked it up, covered the receiver, and addressed the crowd:

"Jiang Tiansheng's!"

Chen Yongren immediately tensed up.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang..."

"...Ah Ren is my younger brother."

"What does Ni Kun's death have to do with us?"

Do you know what we did today?

"Ah Ren spent 20,000 yuan to buy a lot of firecrackers, and set them off early in the morning."

"Ni Kun's death is such a joyous occasion, of course we should set off firecrackers to celebrate, don't you think?"

"Does Hung Hing have any place cleaner than mine?"

"...What? Having connections with the Ni family means you're involved with drugs?"

"Then I don't understand, Mr. Jiang, you often drink tea with camels, don't you?"

"Tung Sing is notorious in the underworld for its illicit activities. According to your theory, aren't you now involved with illicit activities?"

Liang Kun unleashed a torrent of words, speaking with great gusto.

Wang Dao took out a piece of paper, wrote something down, and showed it to Liang Kun.

"Mr. Jiang, don't hang up yet." "Ni Yongxiao just left my place less than ten minutes ago, and you already got wind of it?"

"Was Ni Yongxiao foolish enough to release this information directly to the underworld? Or did you send someone to keep an eye on me? Or is it that the person truly colluding with Ni Yongxiao is not me, but you, Jiang Sheng?"

Liang Kun's face was full of coldness. If Wang Dao hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have noticed this matter.

"Mr. Jiang, don't you owe me an explanation?"

"Misunderstand?"

"Is it really a misunderstanding?"

"Then I need to have a serious talk with Han Bin. This misunderstanding is truly disheartening."

boom!
Liang Kun hung up the phone and started cursing:

"Did Ni Yongxiao pull this on me?"

"Ado, you're right, this guy's heart is filthy."

Wang Dao seemed to be deep in thought:
“Ni Yongxiao has two most important things to do right now: one is to subdue the five leaders, and the other is to investigate the truth behind Ni Kun’s death.”

"The former is urgent, the latter is long-term."

"He probably has no interest in doing this."

"Of course, he must have had that intention in mind. Ni Yongxiao is a focus of the underworld, and Hung Hing will find out sooner or later that Ni Yongxiao came to us."

"But it shouldn't be this fast!"

"Aren!"

Chen Yongren suddenly felt a jolt:
"Boss?"

Wang Dao instructed:
"Go to the monitoring room and see if there are any familiar faces around."

Chen Yongren was bewildered.

Young Kun was furious:
"You mean to say that someone from the company is watching us?"

Wang Dao sarcastically remarked:
"what company?"

"It's clearly the Hung Hing Society!"

"Qiankun Films is our company."

Liang Kun shrugs:

"Okay, so you mean the gang members are following us?"

Chen Yongren took off running.

If possible, he would rather no one know that he is Ni Kun's illegitimate son.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

Wang Dao's face once again displayed his carefree and unrestrained smile, and Liang Kun understood immediately upon seeing his expression:
"Do you know who did it?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Brother Kun, do you remember what we did at the Hall of Righteousness?"

Young Kun's face darkened:

"Small B?!"

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"It's probably him."

He stood up and said,

I'm going out for a bit!

Liang Kun asked in bewilderment:
What are you doing going out?

Wang Dao casually remarked:
"To pick up girls!"

Liang Kun was dumbfounded:

"Is this how you pick up girls?"

"You're blatantly skipping work!"

Wang Dao said, feeling wronged:
"How can that be called skipping work?"

"Your phone is about to become a hotline, why would I stay here if I'm not leaving?"

"I've already given you the script, done what I was told, and there's nothing more for me to do at the company. Shouldn't I go out and pick up girls and gather intelligence while I'm at it?"

Young Kun was truly convinced and waved his hand, saying:

"Let's go, let's go!"

Before Wang Dao could answer, Liang Kun's phone rang. When he answered, it was indeed Brother Long, and his face darkened even more.

Li Fu and Li Jie exchanged a glance, both suppressing their laughter.

Wang Dao left leisurely, checked the time, and realized it was just in time to pick up Le Huizhen from work.

Lok Wai-chun was overjoyed to see him:

"Huh? What brings you here to pick me up for work?"

Wang Dao sarcastically remarked:
"Isn't my boss Brother Kun? Isn't it normal for him to have free time?"

Lok Wai-chun thought about it and realized it made sense; how could gangsters not have time?

On the way, Wang Dao said:

"Get ready today. Organize the footage we shot yesterday; we'll need it today."

Le Huizhen asked, puzzled:

"What preparation?"

Wang Dao didn't hide it from her:
"I reckon Chen Guozhong will give you an exclusive news story, the kind that gets explosive ratings."

Le Huizhen was indeed excited:

"What news?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"The haunted Mingxin Hospital incident."

Le Huizhen was taken aback:
"Isn't that Johnny Wang?"

Wang Dao enlightened her:
"Of course we know this is Johnny's, but wouldn't it be more appealing if we added a ghost story to it?"

Le Huizhen opened her eyes wide:

"Can this news be reported?"

Wang Dao said calmly:
"The incident at Mingxin Hospital stopped at Johnny's Island; that's an ironclad rule."

"Those higher up are beyond your reach..."

Seeing Yue Huizhen's unconvinced expression, Wang Dao added:
"Don't even mention you, even Sixth Uncle wouldn't do it."

Le Huizhen immediately fell silent.

Sixth Uncle is a man of considerable standing in Hong Kong. If he can't do it, then my own weak body can't either.

Wang Dao comforted him, saying:
"Don't be sad. If the show gets good ratings this time, the police station will suggest to Uncle Six that a police training channel be set up and you will be invited to be a special host."

Le Huizhen said with delight:

"Really?"

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"You'll find out soon enough whether it's true or not."

Le Huizhen looked at him suspiciously:
"How did you know this news?"

The kingly way was described in a lighthearted manner:
"Do you know who I am? Very little information can be kept from me in Yau Tsim Mong."

Le Huizhen didn't think too much about it; instead, she nodded repeatedly.

It's certain that gangsters are well-informed, but getting them to reveal information to you is very difficult.

People who aren't part of your social circle won't open up to you.

Le Huizhen narrowed her eyes:
You'll support my work, right?

Wang Dao suddenly asked:

How much do you earn per month?

Le Huizhen shrugged:

"Three thousand."

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"How about changing jobs?"

Le Huizhen sighed:
What other job could I possibly switch to?

Are there still suitable jobs for me in Hong Kong?

Wang Dao shrugged:

"You could try making movies."

Le Huizhen joked:

"You're not really going to make a pornographic film, are you?"

Wang Dao shook his head:
“We do legitimate business. We don’t make pornographic films because they are too damaging to our reputation.”

Le Huizhen's eyes widened:

"Aren't you a gangster?"

Wang Dao countered with a question:
"Who told you that gangsters have to make erotic films?"

Le Huizhen asked curiously:

"But this is not what I know."

"Young and Dangerous characters usually make erotic films and publish erotic magazines."

"Let's not even talk about the Young and Dangerous movies. Even Shawn Yue's film company has made quite a few of these kinds of films."

Wang Dao laughed heartily:

"That's true!"

It wasn't that Shawn Yue's company didn't want to make serious films, but in the 1970s, if your film didn't have a few nude scenes, no one would come to the cinema to watch it.

Otherwise, would there be any perks in Bruce Lee's kung fu movies?

It's all because of the circumstances!

Wang Dao casually pulled out a box:
"Here, this is a gift for you."

Le Huizhen was increasingly pleasantly surprised:

"You even bought me a gift?"

Wang Dao speaks the truth:

"I didn't buy it, I found it on the road."

With a mixture of disbelief and skepticism, Yue Huizhen opened the box, only to find a beautiful gold necklace inside.

This necklace is exquisitely crafted; it's clearly made with care by an established shop.

The necklace is thicker than a typical women's necklace, placed precisely at its maximum thickness.

I took it down and tried it out; wow, it's quite heavy.

Le Huizhen, her eyebrows dancing with delight, rolled her eyes at him:
"Yes, yes, you picked it up."

Wang Dao sighed inwardly, thinking that no one would believe him if he told the truth.

He actually found this necklace through the intelligence system.

Le Huizhen said coquettishly:

"Put it on me."

Wang Dao gestured with his eyes:

"I'm driving, you wear it yourself."

Le Huizhen couldn't wait to put on the necklace. She opened the rearview mirror and looked at it more and more beautifully. She felt a little smug.

When Wang Dao got out of the car, Le Huizhen couldn't help herself and suddenly kissed him.

Chen Guozhong happened to see this, and for a moment he didn't know whether to come forward or avoid it, so he couldn't help but complain:

"You two aren't hiding it from people anymore, are you?"

Lok Wai-chun said quite boldly:

"He's unmarried, and I'm single. Isn't that normal?"

Chen Guozhong chuckled and said:
"Alright, when you get married, be sure to send me an invitation, and I'll give you a big red envelope."

Wang Dao laughed heartily:

"Of course, you'll definitely get your share."

Chen Guozhong said to Le Huizhen:
"Reporter Yue, I've come here today to ask you to cover the Johnny Wang case..."

Le Huizhen couldn't help but look at Wang Dao, he was right!
