The Chief Detective Inspector is dead. I'm now the top police officer in Hong Kong!

Chapter 86 Opportunities of the Times (34)

Yang Sihai's sharp eyes widened in astonishment as he stared at Lin Tiansheng's retreating figure, his hands trembling uncontrollably. He slammed his arm into the water, splashing as he rose, and roared, "No problem, wait for my message!"

To clean up one's act and go straight to the right path is the ultimate goal of all underworld bosses.

The Ma brothers once dominated East Asia and held sway over Hong Kong, but what did it matter? With a single order from the British, they fled in panic, their property confiscated, and they were banned from returning to Hong Kong for life.

But to succeed, one needs more than just ability and achievements; one also needs the right timing and circumstances. This is especially true in regions with sound legal systems, a thriving economy, and social stability.

No matter how powerful the black gloves are, they can never be cleaned up. Back then, the Ma brothers, Po-ho, and others weren't stupid; they ran newspapers, did charity work, and ran for parliament.

I've tried everything I wanted to do and every method I was capable of doing.

However, they were all suppressed by Lü Le, Lan Gang, Han Sen and others.

The Chief Inspector of Chinese Affairs will never allow a dog to ride on its master's head, just as foreigners will never allow Chinese people to ride on the heads of foreigners.

Everyone knows your background, everyone looks down on you, who would be willing to help you clear your name?

Great Britain is still a fully sovereign and well-established federation of nations. No matter how declining it becomes, it has nothing to do with social organizations.

Now that Lin Tiansheng has agreed to open up channels and provide a way to clear his name, Yang Sihai can't help but be excited!
Lin Tiansheng stood in front of the mirror, dried himself with a towel, changed into casual clothes, took out his service pistol and identification, and left the bathhouse discreetly.

Yang Sihai was a big name in the triad. After the police reform, he voluntarily withdrew from Yau Tsim Mong and retreated to Kwai Chung to cultivate his influence. Although his power seemed to have diminished and his influence had waned, his financial resources grew stronger day by day, and his status within the triad became more and more respected.

The fact that other branches were defeated after the Chinese detective fled only highlights the strength of the Kwai Chung Tong.

If Yang Sihai hadn't voluntarily declined, he should have taken over as the head of the business long ago, instead of having a 62-year-old uncle sitting on the dragon throne as a mere decoration.

Once this powerful card is activated, the forces and resources available to the remnants will immediately expand.

Lin Tiansheng will be able to break free from the power vacuum and become more at ease.

But how to control this film became a new problem. Continuing to "create horses" and "collusion between the underworld and the legitimate world," even if Yang Sihai was low-key enough, the ever-growing power of the gang would still devour him and the entire remnant party through collective interests.

Helping Yang Sihai clean up his act and get back on his feet is the best solution to the problem. What Brother Le couldn't provide before, he can provide. Moreover, the political concept of cleansing up his act is enough for Yang Sihai to command the entire Lao Fu and control the interest group, so that he won't be swallowed up.

Because every underworld boss's life goal is to clean up their act and go straight. But the opportunity to do so is extremely rare, only available in times of chaos.

Historically speaking, from the beginning of the Sino-British negotiations to the handover ceremony, the period spanned from the start of the Sino-British negotiations to the handover ceremony.

The situation on Hong Kong Island has been turbulent, not major chaos, but there have been many minor disturbances. There were a few opportunities to clean up one's image and go ashore by taking political sides, such as Sun Kee and Hop To. They were able to survive until after 97, and were able to show their faces in public, return to the mainland to make money, all of which were achieved with the approval of others.

Although they may not get the best opportunities, they will eventually enjoy a life of glory and wealth.

When speaking to the remnants of the party, he could only touch upon the main points, indicating that the primary goal was to squeeze out the elites and regain power.

But in reality, after squeezing out the elite faction, the next step is to squeeze out the foreigners. In the eyes of many foreigners, the elite faction is easier to control, while the remnants have a long criminal record and are not trustworthy, so they still need to be suppressed. The process of squeezing out the elite faction is bound to offend the foreigners and start a war. The white devils of the Mong Kok Organized Crime and Triad Bureau are just a microcosm; there are countless others. If you don't dare to offend the foreigners, don't even bother getting involved in this business.

If the remnants of the Communist Party can truly seize the position held by the foreigners, then the former positions of the remnants can be given to the gangs that have gone out of business and become legitimate as a reward.

The premise is that he really wants to clear his name.

Given Yang Sihai's style of conduct during turbulent times, Lin Tiansheng had already anticipated the outcome before even meeting him.

Going public and making a clean slate is like ringing the bell to go public; the former is the greatest achievement for those in the underworld, while the latter is the ultimate goal for businessmen.

Yang Sihai beckoned to his henchman Ah Wang and instructed him, "Tomorrow, take some men to Mong Kok and plant a flag, and take over all the entertainment venues on Sai Yeung Choi Street."

Hua Wang's narrow eyes revealed ambition as he excitedly said, "Boss, we're finally going to fight our way back!"

Yang Sihai stepped out of the bathhouse, took the towel handed to him by his henchman, and draped it over his shoulders: "Go back and ask if anyone in the martial arts world still remembers Old Fu's Nine-Dragoned Swordsman."

The next day, at 2 PM.

Five vans screeched to a halt at the foot of the Lianxing Building on Sai Yeung Choi Street. More than twenty thugs, armed with machetes, pushed open the van doors and rushed into the building with Hua Wang.

The lucrative area involved shady businesses such as selling drugs, debt collection, loan sharking, gambling dens, horse stables, construction companies, and supplying goods.
The more prosperous the area, the more diverse the businesses. Each industry is operated by more than one triad, and often a regional branch of a certain triad only gets involved in one or a few industries, confined to a few streets. In the history of Hong Kong, very few people have ever been able to monopolize all the lucrative industries in a single area.

Nowadays, being able to occupy an entire street and specialize in a gray industry can earn hundreds of millions of yuan every month, which can be considered as establishing a firm foothold.

Lao Fu is doing very well in the Kwai Chung entertainment industry. He has a ready supply of pimps, prostitutes, and other services. If he wants to expand his business elsewhere, he will definitely choose the entertainment industry.

The purchasing power on Sai Yeung Choi Street is average. The Ma Lan, foot massage parlors, and small hotels are all monopolized by "Tung Sin Wo," which is perfect for picking on the weak.

Hua Wang charged at the greeters at the entrance of Laotongtuo, slashing them with his knife. Moments later, he led his men into the shop, hacking down anyone in uniform carrying a weapon without a word. He released the girls and customers, then set the shop ablaze, burning down the signboard.

Before leaving with his men, he spat at the thugs lying on the ground and said, "Old Fu, Kwai Chung Tong, my name is Fei Zai Wang. From now on, all the entertainment venues on this street are under my control. If you're not happy, tell your boss to bring his troops!"

That evening, more than a hundred members of the Lao Tong (a local syndicate) gathered on Sai Yeung Choi Street. More than two hundred Lao Fu Da Zai from Hua Wang (another local syndicate) were aggressive and unwilling to back down.

The two sides were in a standoff, and before the operation could officially begin, the mobile police unit suddenly appeared and dispersed them. Then the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) entered the scene and launched a large-scale street chase.

Wearing a custom-made suit, a silk pocket flower in his hair, and a cigar in his mouth, Yang Sihai swaggered out of the Rolls-Royce and entered the Mong Kok Police Station with his lawyer. He said to the officer at the front desk, "I'm here to bail out my friend."

Jess, the foreigner, threw down the documents in his hand, led his men to Yang Sihai, took the cigar, threw it on the ground, crushed it with the tip of his boot, and said with an unfriendly look, "I'm only warning you once, smoking is not allowed in the police station."

"Cigars count too, sir?" Yang Sihai smiled, sizing up the foreigner, intentionally showing off the Patek Philippe watch with its full diamonds on his wrist.

The brilliance of the diamonds highlighted the greed in the foreigners' eyes, making them easier to deal with than they had imagined.
