Furthermore, the financial power of Zhongxinyi is entirely in Soso's hands, which is enough to show Lian Haolong's trust in Soso.

In order to accumulate blessings for his children, Lian Haolong stopped fighting and remained silent for quite some time. The gang lost its former vitality and became somewhat stagnant. The gang members saw these changes and were anxious, but there was nothing they could do.

Lian Haolong was well aware of this, but Soso's words today awakened him. If things continued like this, the gang would eventually fall apart.

"What about A-Dong? Are we just going to ignore him?"

Lian Haolong still cares deeply about his only younger brother. The two brothers lost their parents' love at a young age and depended on each other for survival, so they have a very deep bond.

“Ma Jun targeted Huo Wenyao, and now that he has achieved his goal, he should be able to release A Dong soon, so don’t worry.”

Soso advised, saying that she still hoped Lian Haolong could regain his former glory. If things continued like this, it would only drag the gang down, so it would be better to give up the position of leader.

"I'm still not at ease. Huo Wenyao is a very shrewd person. I have a feeling that his counterattack will come soon. Let's wait and see."

Lian Haolong's concerns were quite reasonable. As expected, experience is the best teacher. After careful consideration, he discerned Huo Wenyao's thoughts.

Since Huo Wenyao dared to play like this, he must be very confident that he wouldn't go too far and could control the situation even while in the police station.

Upon hearing Lian Haolong's words, Soso and Awu looked disappointed. Lian Haolong's timid attitude was truly frustrating.

In their view, this was a golden opportunity to seize control of Tsim Sha Tsui. Chung Shun Yi had been silent for so long; it was time to bare their fangs and make their voices heard.

If it gets too late, I probably won't even have a chance to drink the soup.

"Brother Long, don't hesitate any longer. Hung Hing and Wo Wo have already started to make their move. Huo Wenyao's security guards won't be able to hold them off for long."

"Tsim Sha Tsui is too important to us. Now that we have the opportunity, we must fight for it no matter what. If we just watch this piece of meat fall into someone else's mouth, it would be worse than being killed."

Ah Fa and the others looked very anxious, feeling that the older Lian Haolong got, the more timid he became, and they couldn't help but have some complaints. Only Luo Tianhong stood silently beside Lian Haolong.

"Listen to me, hold back. The police probably can't do anything to him. He definitely has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. If we take action now, we won't gain anything and we'll just suffer a loss for nothing."

Lian Haolong has already decided not to participate in this conflict. In his opinion, Huo Wenyao is likely targeting him and trying to drag him into it. He should remain calm now to avoid falling into the trap.

Seeing this, Soso and the others stopped talking. They knew that Lian Haolong's word was law and his decisions were hard to change, but their disappointment was overwhelming.

Everyone felt that Brother Long was really getting old and was no longer suitable to continue being the leader of the Loyal and Trustworthy Gang.

Several large triads took the lead and acted as the main force in taking over Tsim Sha Tsui, while the smaller triads also wanted to take advantage of the chaos and follow suit.

The pressure on Brother Zha and his gang was immense. Relying on 20,000 security personnel alone would be difficult to protect Tsim Sha Tsui, as those triads often had tens of thousands of members. If they mobilized all their forces, it would be very difficult to resist them.

With Huo Wenyao absent, Brother Zha is the head of the entire group, and everyone must obey his orders.

Brother Zha knew that Huo Wenyao's move was not only to resolve the trouble and gain enough benefits, but more importantly, to test the security guards' fighting ability.

Without real fighting, it's difficult to improve combat effectiveness, and to unify the port is simply wishful thinking.

This is a good opportunity to let the newly joined security guards undergo a trial so that they can grow quickly.

"Brother Zha, our business has been greatly affected. Gangsters from other triads keep coming to cause trouble, and the managers of all the venues are having a lot of headaches."

"This won't work either; our revenue will shrink drastically by then."

Hearing his subordinate's words, Brother Zha was quite troubled. Brother Yao had become a hands-off manager, putting all the pressure on him, and he also had to stabilize the situation and prevent it from collapsing. This was a real test of his wisdom.

"350" It's easy to invite a god, but difficult to send him away.

As the Huo Wenyao incident continues to unfold, public opinion in the port city is becoming increasingly polarized.

Major television stations and media outlets have been reporting on the matter continuously, and the most discussed topic among citizens every day is whether Huo Wenyao actually sold heroin.

The police said they had enough evidence to approve the arrest of Huo Wenyao, but a considerable number of people still felt that something was amiss.

Every day, you can see supporters of Fok Man-yiu outside the Mong Kok Police Station, holding banners and shouting that Fok Man-yiu was wronged. It's annoying, and you can't get rid of them.

Ma Jun is also under considerable pressure. Since arresting Huo Wenyao, the pressure from all sides is enough to break him, but he has no choice but to withstand it.

Only now does Ma Jun truly realize just how influential Huo Wenyao is; the halo of being a city hero is equivalent to giving Huo Wenyao a get-out-of-jail-free card.

In the interrogation room of Mong Kok Police Station…

Huo Wenyao smiled as he looked at the police officer in uniform in front of him and said with a smile:

"Officer, I know nothing about this. Don't try to pin this on me. Those people are clearly framing me."

"Huo Wenyao, you still won't admit it, huh? Don't you know what you've done? Do I need to spell it out for you?"

Ma Jun sat opposite Huo Wenyao and said with a grim expression.

Although he had guessed from the beginning that Huo Wenyao would not cooperate, he did not expect that Huo Wenyao was like a rock in a latrine, both smelly and hard, and it would be too difficult to get him to confess.

“Mr. Ma, of course I won’t admit to something I didn’t do. Bring those guys here and confront me. If they really are my men, I won’t fail to recognize them.”

Huo Wenyao's words made Ma Jun's expression freeze. This was exactly the situation he was most worried about, which is why he had been hiding Lian Haodong's identity to prevent it from being exposed.

Huo Wenyao definitely knew Lian Haodong, so the two absolutely couldn't be allowed to meet. Ma Jun had no choice but to change the subject, saying:

"Huo Wenyao, aren't you tired of wearing a mask for so long?"

Hearing Ma Jun's words, Huo Wenyao's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled and said:

"What did you mean by that, Officer Ma? I don't quite understand."

"You thought you were being discreet, but you still left quite a few clues. Here are the files; take a look for yourself."

Ma Jun placed a stack of file folders on the table in front of Huo Wenyao, staring intently at Huo Wenyao with eyes like a hawk, before leaning back.

"Officer Ma, are you mistaken? What does this have to do with me?"

Huo Wenyao's expression remained unchanged, his face still bearing the same smile as always, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts.

"You ordered Han Chen's murder, didn't you? You also caused the disappearances of Huang Zhicheng and undercover agent Chen Yongren, didn't you? Yang Jinrong and Ji Shaoqun also died at your hands. Am I right? You can't escape responsibility for these murders. How dare you say you're innocent?"

Ma Jun stood up and shouted angrily. Although these people had little to do with him, it didn't stop him from using them to put pressure on Huo Wenyao and break through his psychological defenses.

"Excuse me, what does all of this have to do with the current case?"

Do you have evidence to prove that I did these things?

"If there is no evidence, I advise Inspector Ma to think twice before acting."

Huo Wenyao remained calm and composed, unaffected by Ma Jun. His actions naturally left the police with no leverage, so Ma Jun's attempt to use these tactics was a miscalculation. Huo Wenyao was not going to fall for it.

"Officer Ma, what do we do now? This Huo Wenyao is too difficult to deal with. Are we just going to wait it out like this? We can only detain him for 48 hours, and we don't have much time left."

Hearing his subordinate's words, Ma Jun felt annoyed. His original idea was to fabricate a crime against Huo Wenyao, get him into the police station, and then look for a breakthrough.

He reviewed the previous files and discovered that Huo Wenyao had played a very important role in them, and that the police officers who got into trouble were all closely connected with him.

Although he hadn't obtained any crucial evidence, Ma Jun wanted to use it to trick Huo Wenyao, but he underestimated Huo Wenyao, and this tactic was unlikely to work.

"Huo Wenyao, don't be so smug. Even if I can't produce any evidence, you still can't escape the charge of selling heroin. When the case is transferred to the court, you'll be sentenced to decades in prison."

"Ha ha……"

Upon hearing Ma Jun's words, Huo Wenyao merely sneered. Did they really think he was a fool? Although Lian Haodong repeatedly claimed that it was Huo Wenyao who had instructed him, the police had no evidence whatsoever of Huo Wenyao's involvement.

"Officer Ma, I advise you not to waste your time. You should think about how to get me back. You know, it's easy to invite a god in, but hard to send him away..."

Huo Wenyao said meaningfully, and the smile on his face made Ma Jun feel a sense of unease.

"Don't worry, I will definitely bring you to justice. You should worry more about whether you can keep your Tsim Sha Tsui. Those triads are not to be trifled with. When you're all alone, let's see how long you can be so arrogant."

"351" He reaps what he sows, and cannot escape punishment.

The current situation has put Ma Jun in a difficult position.

What seemed like a sure thing turned out to be difficult with Huo Wenyao.

In the end, he underestimated Huo Wenyao.

We can't deal with him like we did with the criminals of the past. If anything happens to Huo Wenyao in the police station, it will be blown out of proportion.

Huo Wenyao's identity was extraordinary. The halo of the city hero was like a tight band around Ma Jun's head, making him dare not make a move against Huo Wenyao.

Ma Jun now faces two choices: one is to release Huo Wenyao directly, but Ma Jun knows that Huo Wenyao will definitely use this as an excuse to make trouble, and he will inevitably be punished in the end.

The second option is to confront Huo Wenyao head-on. As long as Lian Haodong's identity is not exposed, he has a great chance. Now he has both witnesses and physical evidence, so even without Huo Wenyao's confession, he can still send him to prison.

Given Ma Jun's personality, he certainly wouldn't choose to compromise. He couldn't just let go of this opportunity that he had finally managed to seize. So he had no choice but to go down this path to the bitter end.

"There's no need for Officer Ma to worry about that. As long as I, Huo Wenyao, am still here, I won't fall."

Although he didn't know where Huo Wenyao's confidence came from, Ma Jun wouldn't care about this matter. In his opinion, it wasn't a bad thing that Huo Wenyao's criminal group could be swallowed up by other gangs, so as to avoid causing him trouble later.

Ma Jun's target has always been the Tony brothers. As long as Huo Wenyao no longer poses a threat, that will be the time for Ma Jun to achieve his goal.

Huo Wenyao was already aware of the company's current predicament before he came in, and this was something he did intentionally, as he had a lot of confidence in Brother Zha.

"I think Inspector Ma should worry about his own situation. The surprise I've prepared for you is coming soon!"

Um?

Huo Wenyao's words made Ma Jun's heart skip a beat, and he immediately had a bad feeling, but he couldn't think of any other tricks Huo Wenyao might have up his sleeve to turn the tide.

He believed he had no connection with Huo Wenyao and was certain that Huo Wenyao was unaware that he would cause trouble for him. However, Huo Wenyao's confident demeanor made Ma Jun feel uneasy.

What he didn't know was that Lian Haodong already knew in his heart that all of this was a scheme set up by Huo Wenyao, who was behind it all.

Lian Haodong harbored no less hatred for Ma Jun than Huo Wenyao, so naturally he wouldn't kindly remind Ma Jun, leaving him completely unaware and smug.

"I'm warning you, don't try anything funny. Do you really think I wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you?"
