Hong Kong Variety Show: Me, the Traffic Enforcement and Control Team?

The triad leaders and gang chiefs present exchanged glances once again.

This time, with Uncle Deng as a template, they all followed suit and gave similar answers.

"I really don't have any ideas. All I can do is follow Uncle Deng's example and tell my men to keep quiet!"

"Since Inspector Lin has spoken, how can I not give him face? Don't worry, my men will definitely not cause any trouble!"

"I have to give face to what Inspector Lin said. From now on, my men will be much quieter."

The triad leaders and gang bosses present all gave this answer.

On the one hand, they do want better public security.

After all, poor security also affects the number of customers coming to their establishment.

On the one hand, since Lin Zhengyi has said so, how could they not give him face?

They've seen the consequences of not giving face before, and they don't want to end up like Big Head Dragon, whose territory was raided for a month. Although for some big-time gang leaders and bosses, their territory could withstand raids for three or four months straight, let alone a month.

but!

But then things went wrong again.

What's the point of hanging out here?

For the money!

Could it possibly be generated out of love?

The venue being cleared out means they'll lose a lot of money, and that's something they can't accept!

and so!

They all agreed.

"very good!"

Seeing that everyone had agreed, Lin Zhengyi's smile widened even further.

Then!

He smiled slightly and said, "In that case, gentlemen, you may return after you have finished your tea!"

Hear this!

The leaders and heads of various gangs present exchanged glances again. Then, Uncle Deng stood up first, picked up the tea in front of him, drank it all in one gulp, and said quietly, "Sorry everyone, I'm getting old and can't stay up late, so I'll be leaving now!"

Finished!

With the help of his bodyguard, Uncle Deng left the room.

Meanwhile, the leaders and heads of other gangs and factions followed suit, either mimicking the actions of others, and finished their tea in one gulp before leaving.

The leaders or bosses of these triads and gangs are unwilling to stay here.

As members of the community, these people often think that the police station is a rather unlucky place.

after all!

When they usually go to the police station, it's usually because they've committed a crime or their subordinates have caused some serious trouble, and the police want to call them in, so they're reluctantly invited in for a chat.

Based on this, the members of the gang felt that the police station was a rather unlucky place.

And naturally, they don't want to stay in such places for long.

quickly!

Only Lin Zhengyi, a few police officers, and a big-headed dragon begging for mercy remained in the room.

"Hey sir, I think we can talk this over. My brother and I can really handle those ants and cockroaches!" Big Head Dragon continued to plead.

To this!

Lin Zhengyi glanced at him, a cold smile playing on his lips, and said, "Big Head Dragon, you should know that I was just making an example of you. Do you think I'd let you go under these circumstances?"

"If I let you go so easily, do you think those monkeys I just made an example of will still listen to me obediently in the future? Won't they think I'm easy to talk to because I even let you go, and then take advantage of me?"

"So, you need to clean your place, and you have to clean it for a full month!"

After leaving those words behind, he turned and left with a flourish.

Only the big-headed dragon, its expression shifting between anger and uncertainty, remained where it was.

Chapter 698 The Power of the Cop

Three days later!

"Hey, did you hear? Last night, Lin Sir from the anti-triad unit was absolutely amazing!"

"I heard, I heard! The heads of all the triad branches in the district, the leaders of those triads, even Uncle Deng from Wo Luen Shing were invited over, just to keep them from causing trouble!"

"Yes, yes, with just one order from Inspector Lin, not a single gang in the entire district dared to utter a sound these past few days."

"Yeah, the security has improved a lot in the last few days. You rarely see those thugs and hooligans on the streets anymore!"

"That's so cool! I want to be a policeman someday."

"I used to think it was cool to hang out on the streets, but now I think being a cop is even cooler!"

"That's right. Street thugs might make some people think you're tough, but as a cop, even the leaders of gangs and triad bosses wouldn't dare to mess with you. It's incredibly prestigious!"

News travels very fast in the martial arts world!

In just three days, the news that Lin Zhengyi had invited the leaders of various gangs to have tea spread throughout the entire underworld.

This not only lets people know how capable Lin Zhengyi is, but also unintentionally promotes the police force.

In the past, many young people in Hong Kong dreamed of making a living outside the city.

The reason is very simple!

prestige!

When you're out in the world, people will fear you and be afraid of you. That's what fascinates many young people.

Which young person hasn't dreamed of becoming a powerful and awe-inspiring figure?

However, the path to becoming a powerful and influential figure, such as a high-ranking official, a general, or a tycoon, is generally inaccessible to ordinary people, except for a small number of people with exceptional intelligence or extraordinary luck.

Without a distinguished family background or wealthy parents, trying to follow a similar path is simply a pipe dream.

In this situation, the easiest way for young people to become powerful figures is to go out and make a name for themselves.

You don't need a family or wealthy parents. As long as you're brave and willing to fight, you don't need intelligence or brains, and as long as you don't die or become disabled, you'll eventually have a chance to make it big. Even if you don't become the leader of a gang, becoming a high-ranking member or even a minor leader is quite easy.

For ordinary people, this is quite impressive.

In this context, the desire to "hang out" (a euphemism for socializing) has attracted so many young people.

However, Lin Zhengyi's appearance gave the young man another path.

Police officer!

Even a police officer can be just as powerful in the end.

Moreover, the entry requirements for becoming a police officer in Hong Kong are not too difficult.

After graduating from high school, you can then enter a police academy.

Even ordinary people can take this path.

Under these circumstances, this road naturally attracted many people.

Lin Zhengyi only learned about the matter later.

When he found out, he felt both amused and exasperated.

Is being a police officer prestigious?

Most police officers don't have much of a prestige.

Ordinary citizen complaints can drive them crazy.

To be as prestigious as Lin Zhengyi, one must first be a police superintendent, and that alone would stop 99% of the police officers. So this path is not one that ordinary people can take.

Unless one has exceptional intelligence, a privileged family background, special abilities, or is truly blessed with good fortune, it is unlikely that such a path will be successful.

of course!

Lin Zhengyi certainly wouldn't tell anyone about these things!

In his view, it's better to be a cop than a mule, right?

Not only is the life of a short mule precarious, but most of them actually live a life of going hungry nine times out of three days.

You should know that, normally, most mules don't receive a wage.

Even if you follow the boss, it's all the same.

Only by following the boss's orders, engaging in fights, seizing territory, or doing other such things, can one earn some appearance fees, medical expenses for injuries, or compensation for the deceased.

But most people would definitely want the latter two.

Therefore, in most cases, all the short mule can get is an appearance fee.

But here's the question: can the short mules fight and battle every day?

Obviously not!

Leaving aside whether his underlings would be willing to fight like this every day, facing life-or-death dangers every day, even the bosses couldn't withstand such fighting!

Fighting costs money.

Appearance fee, medical fee, resettlement fee—none of these can be missing. If they are, no underlings will be willing to come next time, and if no underlings are willing to come, you will only get killed.

However, these costs are not a small amount. Even for the boss, each fight requires at least one or two months' worth of profits to be lost.

If it happens once a month, the boss will lose all his money.

and so!

Even the leader doesn't want to fight every day!

Generally speaking, no matter what happens, you should try to negotiate first. Only if you can't negotiate will you resort to fighting as a last resort.

Therefore, usually, a junior employee might not even receive an appearance fee once or twice a month.
