Hong Kong film: The cop backs down, the ladies beg me to check his license.

"Tian, ​​come here."

Ye Tian walked over and glanced around. Almost all the Hung Hing triad leaders who could be present were there: Brother Kun, Prince, the three Han brothers, Brother Kei, Sister Thirteen… The lower-ranking members, including Knife Boy, Grey Dog, and Big Fei, were also there, their faces solemn.

"Hey everyone, what's the situation right now?" Ye Tian asked.

Jiang Tiansheng didn't answer directly, but pointed to a large pit that had just been dug and still smelled of mud: "See for yourself. Xi B, and his wife and children... are all in there."

Ye Tian took a few steps forward. The pit wasn't deep, but it was enough to bury a family. Little B lay in the middle, his clothes covered in mud, his eyes half-open, reflecting the pale moonlight. His wife and children were curled up beside him, covered in mud, already lifeless. The youngest child was still clutching a dirty toy car in his hand.

"That's ruthless." Ye Tian glanced at it a few times, then looked away. "They're trying to eliminate all traces, leaving no one alive."

Jiang Tiansheng looked at him, his tone heavy: "Tian, ​​Siu B was the leader of the Causeway Bay gang. He died so mysteriously, and his whole family was wiped out. Causeway Bay is now in a state of panic, without a leader."

"How about you investigate this matter? I believe you have a way."

Before Ye Tian could speak, a person suddenly rushed out from the crowd and knelt down in front of Jiang Tiansheng with a "thump," his voice hoarse and choked with sobs:

"Mr. Jiang! We can't let him investigate! Absolutely not!"

"Everyone in the underworld knows that Mong Kok and Causeway Bay have always been at odds! Brother B's gruesome death...maybe it was someone from Mong Kok who did it!"

These words were like a stone thrown into stagnant water, stirring up a suppressed uproar. All eyes instantly focused on Ye Tian and Liang Kun.

Liang Kun's face instantly turned ashen, veins bulging on his forehead, and he strode forward. Ye Tian reacted quickly, grabbing his arm.

"Brother Kun, don't rush." ​​Ye Tian's voice wasn't loud, but it was clear enough. "Mr. Jiang hasn't spoken yet."

Liang Kun glared fiercely at the kneeling man, his eyes seeming to want to kill, but he managed to suppress his anger for the time being, panting heavily without moving.

Jiang Tiansheng narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze fixed on the kneeling man: "You said you killed Sai B in Mong Kok, where's the evidence?"

The man looked up, his once handsome face contorted with agitation and grief. He stiffened his neck and demanded, "What more evidence do you need? That's what everyone in the martial arts world says!"

Ye Tian couldn't listen any longer and turned to Jiang Tiansheng: "Mr. Jiang, may I ask him a few questions?"

Jiang Tiansheng nodded: "Ask him. Make him explain himself clearly."

The kneeling man's face grew even more resentful when he saw Ye Tian about to ask him a question, and his eyes turned red.

Ye Tian looked at him, his face expressionless, and asked:

"Is that what people in the martial arts world say?"

"I received a call from Mr. Jiang and learned that Little B had an accident, so I rushed over immediately. It took less than twenty minutes in total."

"In just twenty minutes, the news of 'Mong Kok murder of a young girl' had spread throughout the underworld? Did this news grow legs and travel faster than a car?"

He paused, then looked the man up and down: "And who are you? What gives you the right to slander Mong Kok with baseless accusations?"

The man straightened his neck even more: "My name is Chan Ho-nam! I'm Brother B's henchman!"

"Oh, Little B's henchman, Chan Ho-nam." Ye Tian nodded, his tone suddenly carrying a hint of something ambiguous. "How come I heard... you're his godson?"

Chan Ho-nam's expression changed, and he shouted, "I'm not! I'm just Brother B's henchman!"

"You think it's not true just because you say so?" Ye Tian shook his head. "To me, you look like it."

"Back then, you and Big Head drew lots for life and death, agreeing that whoever drew the winning lot would take the blame and go to jail. After they got out, that person would be the standard-bearer of Causeway Bay."

"If I remember correctly, you weren't the one who got selected, were you? And you weren't the one who ended up in jail, were you?"

"But now, you're the one in charge of Causeway Bay, aren't you?"

Chan Ho-nam's face flushed red instantly. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

This is an old story from Causeway Bay, known to many. The truth is! Chan Ho-nam bore all the risks and took all the benefits.

Seeing his embarrassed look, Ye Tian continued, "You're just a lowly '49' kid, not even dressed in straw sandals. Standing here are all the leaders and bigwigs of Hung Hing, your seniors."

"You came in and immediately started labeling and falsely accusing your fellow disciples without even asking any questions. What exactly are you trying to do?"

Jiang Tiansheng's eyes narrowed to slits, his gaze turning cold. The surrounding gang leaders and subordinates also looked at Chen Haonan with obvious impatience and disgust.

If Chan Ho-nam were to volunteer to investigate the case and avenge his boss, the people might give him a chance out of consideration for the deceased Siu B.

But he started making baseless accusations right from the start, a behavior that is despicable.

Ye Tian then asked, "Are there any arcades in Causeway Bay?"

Chen Haonan gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Ye Tian gently nudged his knees with his toe: "I'm asking you, are there any arcades in Causeway Bay?"

Chen Haonan's eyes were filled with humiliation as he spat out the word through gritted teeth: "Yes!"

"You know arcades make money, right?"

Chan Ho-nam nodded vigorously, then retorted, "What does this have to do with Brother B being killed!"

Ye Tian's lips curled into a cold smile: "Do you know that in all of Hong Kong's arcades, only Hung Hing has the connections to source arcade machines?"

Chan Ho-nam gritted his teeth and said, "I know! Those are the gang's channels, not Mong Kok's private property!"

The slight smile on Ye Tian's face vanished, his expression turned cold, and he said, word by word:

You guessed wrong.

"This channel is truly in my own hands. It has nothing to do with the gang."

Chen Haonan's expression changed instantly.

The hall masters and underlings around them also showed some surprise. Although some people had vaguely guessed this, this was the first time Ye Tian had pointed it out in public.

Ye Tian looked at him coldly: "To avoid trouble and prevent leaks, Mr. Jiang had already issued a gag order at the closed-door meeting of the twelve hall masters. Apart from the head of the hall and the twelve hall masters, very few people below him know where the arcade machines actually come from."

He stepped forward, bent down slightly, and gently patted Chen Haonan's cheek with the back of his hand. The force was not strong, but it was extremely insulting.

"Hey kid, you know how much money arcade machines make, right?"

"With three to five machines, you can easily make over ten thousand a month. You in Causeway Bay have a full thirty machines. Have you calculated how much revenue you make each month?"

"If Mong Kok and Causeway Bay were truly at odds, would Brother Kun have asked me to give Causeway Bay thirty machines so you could make a fortune every month?"

After saying that, Ye Tian kicked Chen Haonan aside.

"Little B is really getting worse with age. Big Head is more capable and more reliable than you, but what happened? He's not being given important responsibilities."

"You've gained some notoriety in the underworld lately, is it because you killed Ba Bi of Tung Sing?"

Chen Haonan's eyes showed even greater humiliation: "I work for the triad! I share Mr. Chiang's burdens!"

"Doing things?" Ye Tian scoffed, then slapped his face with the back of his hand. "You were the one who started that thing, weren't you? It was full of mistakes and almost ruined everything."

"If Chicken hadn't arrived a step too late and blocked Babi's escape, have you thought about the consequences?"

Chan Ho-nam's face turned ashen: "You...how do you know so much?"

Ye Tian's mockery deepened.

Jiang Tiansheng sighed inwardly. How could Ye Tian know? It was obvious someone was watching. When Liang Kun got the news, he even came to complain that killing Ba Bi required the help of people from Causeway Bay, which was making a mountain out of a molehill. If someone had deliberately sabotaged things back then, tipped off Ba Bi, or stopped Chicken... Chen Haonan and his gang would probably be lying dead in the street by now.

This Chan Ho-nam is utterly useless. He can't even see through this potential danger.

That's normal, though. Newly emerging talents often think they can get ahead with sheer grit, and their ambitions are sky-high.

Jiang Tiansheng understood perfectly well that Ye Tian was slowly shattering Chen Haonan's pitiful confidence and dignity. He could comprehend it. If he were Liang Kun, he would have also found a way to remove and cripple Chen Haonan's strong hostility towards Mong Kok.

He didn't care whether Chan Ho-nam lived or died, and was even a little envious of Leung Kwan! He had a capable and loyal brother like Yip Tin to help him. Looking at his own side... with Sai B dead, he was actually struggling to make ends meet.

As for Chan Ho-nam? Chiang Tin-sang glanced at the distraught young man.

Too inexperienced. Not worth the effort.
