The reason he believed it so easily wasn't because he was brainless, but because Lin Zhengyi's explanation was clearly more reasonable than the prophecy!

"By the way, Inspector Lin, now that we have the evidence, when are we going to arrest Ah Lok?" Zhang Lang asked impatiently.

The main reason he was so eager was that if he captured Ah Le, he could rejoin the team.

and!

Most importantly, with his new identity, perhaps he could win Zhou Wenli back?

Zhang Lang couldn't help but think of this.

That's right!

He hasn't given up on winning Zhou Wenli back yet.

Previously, as an undercover agent, he knew he couldn't give Zhou Wenli a future, so he didn't have the courage to approach her. But once he returned to his true identity, he felt he could give Zhou Wenli a future.

So he wanted to try again.

What Zhang Lang didn't know was that Zhou Wenli had already been completely taken advantage of by Lin Zhengyi, so even if he regained his identity, it would be of no use.

"Arrest Ah Le? No rush, wait three days!" Lin Zhengyi said calmly.

"Huh? Why?" Zhang Lang couldn't help but ask.

"Because, according to the latest news, three days later, Lok will hold a banquet to celebrate his election as the leader, and also invite the leaders of various triads to announce to the underworld that he has become the new leader of Wo Luen Shing."

After explaining this, Lin Zhengyi revealed a cruel smile and said meaningfully, "The most interesting thing is to capture him at his peak, making him fall directly from the highest point into the abyss."

Seeing Lin Zhengyi's cruel smile, Zhang Lang couldn't help but shudder, and at the same time, he silently mourned for Ah Le for a second.

He's unlucky to have met an opponent like Lin Zhengyi!

Chapter 553 Inauguration Banquet

Three days later!

Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant!

This is a very famous restaurant, usually bustling with customers coming and going.

And today!

As always, the Longfeng Restaurant was bustling with customers.

But unlike the usual diverse guests, today's guests all carried a sense of江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry).

at the same time!

There were also many men dressed in black, with muscular builds and tattoos on their exposed skin, standing in various corners of the restaurant, maintaining order.

The reason for this is quite simple.

Today, Lok Siu, the new leader of Wo Luen Shing, one of the top triads in the underworld, is holding his inauguration ceremony here. So, in addition to booking the restaurant, he also invited famous triad leaders, some influential figures, and seniors to attend.

and so!

That's why the Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant is in such a state today.

at this time!

Ah Le, dressed in a suit and tie, was chatting with various people in the restaurant.

"Uncle De, you've arrived!"

"Haha, you've been so kind in inviting me, wouldn't it be impolite of me not to come?"

"You're a senior, so even if you didn't come, no one could say anything. But since you're here, you're giving me, Ah Le, face. You must eat and drink well here today!"

"sure!"

It was during the exchange of pleasantries that...

"Mr. Chiang of Hung Hing has arrived!!!"

As soon as the doctor's report came from the younger brother in front, Ah Le quickly turned around and headed towards the entrance of the restaurant.

He could greet others inside the restaurant, but for Mr. Chiang of Hung Hing, he would personally go to the door to greet him.

After all, Hung Hing is a force to be reckoned with, no less than Wo Luen Shing.

If he didn't come out to greet them, it would seem like he didn't value Hung Hing.

Looking back, this might create enmity or even conflict with Hung Hing.

Hmm, that sounds a bit exaggerated.

There was no greeting, which seemed a bit much.

But in reality, it really is that bad.

Because they're out there trying to make a living.

In the world of martial arts, face is everything. If you don't give me face, I definitely won't give you face either. There are countless stories of feuds arising from face-saving issues in the martial arts world.

Ah Le didn't want to stumble over such a trivial matter.

quickly!

Ah Lok then saw a group of Hung Hing leaders escorting a middle-aged man who looked somewhat like him as they walked in.

Immediately!

"I've long admired Mr. Jiang's name, but I've never had the chance to meet him. Today, I'm surprised to see you. You are indeed a man of great appearance and extraordinary talent!" Ah Le greeted him with a smile.

"I've long admired Young Master Lok's reputation, and meeting him today, I can only say that he has the bearing of an extraordinary person!" Jiang Tiansheng replied with a smile.

As the saying goes, "A beautiful sedan chair needs many people to carry it."

Since they praised me so much upon meeting me, I naturally had to respond in kind.

but!

After this back and forth, Jiang Tiansheng vaguely realized what kind of person the other party was.

Smiling tiger!

Just like myself.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tiansheng also secretly became more wary of Ah Le.

Don't be fooled by his attendance at Ah Le's inauguration banquet; it doesn't mean the two have a good relationship. In fact, top-tier triads rarely have good relationships; most are fraught with conflict.

For the sake of territory, for the sake of interests, and for the sake of all parties, the relationships between gangs can never be good.

only!

He was simply being more vigilant.

Because most of the Wo Luen Shing's territory does not border Hung Hing, there is not much conflict between the two. On the contrary, Tung Sing, which is also one of the top triads, borders Hung Hing's territory in most areas. Therefore, Hung Hing's biggest enemy at present is Tung Sing.

"By the way, Mr. Jiang, please come in. I've already arranged a seat for you. Let's sit down and have a chat!"

Just then, Ah Le greeted him with a smile.

To this!

"Okay!"

After smiling, Jiang Tiansheng also left the restaurant.

And then!

Then, more and more club leaders arrived.

"Boss, it's almost done!"

A henchman approached Ah Le, who was entertaining Jiang Tiansheng and various bosses, and whispered these words.

Listen!

After nodding, Ah Le smiled and said to the leaders of the various gangs around him, "Excuse me, everyone, I'll have to take my leave for a moment!"

Hear this!

"It's okay, just go about your business!"

"Go ahead and do whatever you need!"

"It's okay, it's okay."

Leaders from various clubs around them spoke up one after another.

After bidding farewell to the many bosses, Ah Le walked straight to the red platform that had been specially erected in the middle of the restaurant.

He walked to the center of the platform, stood in front of a microphone, and said with a smile, "It is an honor to invite everyone to my inauguration banquet today. I, Ah Le, would like to say thank you to all the gentlemen and ladies who have come to my banquet!"

After a pause, just as Ah Le was about to say something more...

"What are you doing?"

"Stop! Don't come in again!"

"You damn cop, looking for trouble now, huh?"

"What? Is it a crime for us to throw a banquet?"

"Stop! Don't go any further!"

A huge commotion came from the doorway.

Its sound was so loud that it seriously affected everyone in the restaurant and attracted their attention.

Upon hearing this voice, a hint of displeasure flashed in Ah Le's eyes, but he still managed a smile and said, "Sorry, everyone, something might have happened outside. I'll go check it out!"

Talking!

Ah Le then prepared to leave the high platform.

But before he could leave the platform...

"Officers, if anyone obstructs our work, they will be arrested for obstructing official business!!!" A loud shout came directly from the doorway.

Then!

Before anyone present, including Ah Le, could react...
