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

He merely squatted by the pit, glanced at the corpse, and rubbed the wet mud under his feet with his fingertips before instantly uncovering the core crux of this tragedy.

Someone wants to stir up trouble within Hung Hing? This is nothing new in the underworld; which triad doesn't have its own internal conflicts of interest?

Does anyone want the police to keep a 24/7 watch on Hung Hing? That hits the sore spot of all the big bosses! How can they make money in peace if they're being harassed by the cops?

Jiang Tiansheng's violent emotions infected everyone present like a plague.

They are all ruthless characters who have crawled out of piles of corpses. Now that they have finally reached the point where they can enjoy wealth and luxury, how dare someone disturb their peaceful life?

No doubt about it!

Damn it!

Chen Haonan and his henchmen had long lost their freedom. Lin Fu and Luo Tianhong, along with Wu Zhaonan and the henchmen of the various hall masters, lifted Chen Haonan up like a death row inmate.

He was instructed to go door-to-door in the red lantern-themed entertainment venues in Causeway Bay to identify the scoundrel who spread the rumor that "Handsome Kun killed Little B".

This time, all the hall masters paid extra attention.

The logic couldn't be simpler! If someone can throw dirty water on Leung Kwan today, they might throw it on themselves tomorrow.

At least Liang Kun has Ye Tian, ​​a capable brother, to support him; they themselves might not have such a backer.

No one understands the principle of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold" better than these seasoned veterans.

In any case, we must find out who is behind this and find out who stabbed us in the back.

Until the results are in, the hearts of all the bigwigs are hanging in the balance.

The night was deep, with only the chirping of insects rising and falling in the silence.

Ye Tian took out a Marlboro cigarette, held it between his fingers, and rubbed the texture of the cigarette paper with his fingertips. He handed it to Jiang Tiansheng, Liang Kun, and the others around him one by one. The lighter clicked and ignited a dark blue flame, illuminating several solemn faces.

Jiang Tiansheng took a drag of his cigarette, the smoke slowly escaping from his nostrils, and said in a deep voice:

"In your opinion, who is the most likely suspect behind this?"

Ye Tian held a cigarette between his fingers, his voice as calm as a still well amidst the swirling smoke:

"No one in the underworld can completely clear themselves of suspicion."

Jiang Tiansheng was taken aback, clearly not expecting him to give such an ambiguous answer.

Ye Tian ignored his astonishment and continued:

"Hong Kong is such a small place, and you can hardly find four or five triads on a single street."

"The territory occupied by our Hung Hing is all in densely populated, lucrative prime locations, so it's only natural that it attracts envy."

"Which of them, Tung Sing or Wo Luen Shing, isn't eyeing this juicy piece of meat with covetous eyes?"

Jiang Tiansheng nodded slightly, agreeing with his statement.

"The gang is surrounded by wolves and tigers, and it may not be a monolithic entity even inside."

"Why is that scumbag who spreads rumors so fixated on Brother Kun, saying he killed Sai B?"

"The relationships among the bigwigs within our organization are not without flaws."

"I don't know who Little B has a grudge against, and I'm not in a position to speculate, but there has never been any friction between the factions within the gang. The faction we had a big fight a while ago is the best example."

Jiang Tiansheng's face grew increasingly gloomy, his knuckles turning white from gripping the cigarette so tightly that the cigarette butt was deformed.

"We are beset by internal and external troubles."

Ye Tian, ​​however, appeared remarkably relaxed. With a flick of his finger, cigarette ash fell to the ground.

"If this matter is handed over to the police to investigate, it may not be possible to find any clues for ten days or half a month."

"But we're a triad, so investigating these kinds of shady dealings is a piece of cake for us."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Jiang Tiansheng's eyes, and he quickly asked:

"Do you have a brilliant plan?"

Ye Tian's face showed a pained expression, as if a piece of his heart had been torn out:

"have!"

"However, let's wait until the official channels can't find the results before using this method."

"That's too much of a drain on our family's resources."

Jiang Tiansheng's expression softened considerably.

The bigwigs listening in also breathed a sigh of relief! Ye Tian always kept his word, so if he said that, he must be absolutely certain.

Jiang Tiansheng took a drag of his cigarette and asked in a slightly relaxed tone:

Do you think Chan Ho-nam can recognize the person who spread the rumors?

Ye Tian shook his head without hesitation:

"Absolutely impossible!"

Jiang Tiansheng paused, somewhat incredulous:

"Chan Ho-nam is, after all, Little B's most trusted henchman. After following him for so many years, he can't even recognize a person?"

Ye Tian's lips curled into a mocking smile, his eyes filled with disdain:

"This person is a complete fool who believes everything he hears; he has absolutely no ability to distinguish right from wrong."

"Sai B was indeed very good to him, and it's possible that he's genuinely saddened by her passing."

"He believed whatever people said without thinking, which shows that he was so emotionally agitated that he lost his reason."

"I doubt he can even remember what that person looked like; all he has left in his mind is brute force."

"To expect him to recognize people is simply wishful thinking."

Jiang Tiansheng chuckled, his tone somewhat forced:

"Chan Ho-nam is still somewhat useful."

Ye Tian did not refute, but simply said:

"Mr. Jiang is right."

Jiang Tiansheng stopped speaking, and the bigwigs wisely stepped back, none of them daring to approach again.

Just moments ago he was harshly criticizing Chen Haonan, but now he's suddenly trying to elevate him. Jiang Tiansheng's thoughts are truly hard to fathom.

Those who rise to the middle or upper levels of the organization are all shrewd and cunning; none of them want to incur the wrath of the leader for saying the wrong thing.

Speak as little as possible; nobody wants to get into trouble.

Everyone felt something was off; Jiang Tiansheng's emotions were changing too quickly.

Only Ye Tian had a clear understanding of Jiang Tiansheng's thoughts, and even looked down on them.

It's truly laughable. Jiang Tianyang is clearly his own brother, born of the same mother. In terms of resource allocation and support, Jiang Tiansheng has never been stingy. Yet, Jiang Tianyang has thrived, having connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles, and living a more comfortable life than Jiang Tiansheng, the gang leader.

Jiang Tiansheng was determined to clear his name and, like Jiang Tianyang, become a powerful figure with real authority.

However, if the news of the murder of B's ​​entire family gets out of hand, the police will definitely be watching him 24/7. At that point, forget about clearing his name; he'll be lucky if he doesn't get dragged down with him.

Regardless, Jiang Tiansheng needs to resolve this case as quickly as possible.

As for Chan Ho-nam... he was the one who chose to be the manager of the Macau casino.

Chan Ho-nam's performance was certainly appalling, but it was exactly what Chiang Tin-sang wanted! People who are too capable are hard to control, and they may not necessarily be loyal to him.

Someone like Chan Ho-nam, who lacks common sense and is eager to rise to power, is the easiest pawn to control.

With the death of Siu B, Chan Ho-nam became a lonely and helpless ghost.

If Jiang Tiansheng were to lend him a hand at this moment, he would surely become completely devoted to him.

Thus, the casinos in Macau could be firmly controlled by them.

This is Jiang Tiansheng's way of managing people in a balanced way.

But in Ye Tian's opinion, Chen Haonan's abilities were such that if it weren't for Chicken's help, it would have been a pipe dream for him to rise to the top.

Jiang Tiansheng is inherently suspicious, which may be a common problem among those in high positions, especially those with a strong desire for control.

Moreover, Hung Hing is not like Sun Kei.

The new dynasty is a true family-run enterprise, with succession from father to son and from brother to brother, ensuring orderly succession and a solid foundation.

The Hung Hing was originally like that, but after Chiang Chen died, Chiang Tin-sang took over. In order to surpass his father's achievements, he made a decision that went against his ancestors' wishes: to establish a system of twelve chairmen.

The twelve leaders of Hung Hing shared the world with the head of the gang.

In short, the twelve hall masters have greatly increased their autonomy and have absolute say in their respective territories.

This system allowed Hung Hing to expand its territory rapidly and its power to grow by leaps and bounds, but it also sowed the seeds of future problems! It was possible for someone outside the Chiang family to rise to the top.

Chiang Tin-sang wants to clear his name, but he also wants to firmly control Hung Hing.

Jiang Tianyang has proven with his actions that having both legitimate and illegitimate connections, and operating in both the legal and illegal worlds, is the true path to power.

When Little B died, it was like losing an arm.

"There's no dog more obedient than Little B," Jiang Tiansheng thought with deep regret.

Although Chen Yao is still available, that guy is shrewd and cunning. It's possible to get him to obey obediently, but it's impossible to get him to willingly die.

Leung Kwan was loyal to Chiang Tin-sang, but Chiang Tin-sang never dared to trust him as much as he trusted Siu B.

The two were never meant to be together.

Little B has never been very popular. Apart from Handsome Kun, only Brother Shin and Brother Kei are close to him.

Chiang Tin-sang was his biggest backer; without Chiang Tin-sang, Sai B simply couldn't survive in Hung Hing.

But Liang Kun is completely different. Apart from his disagreement with Fat Lai in North Point, he has a fairly good relationship with other gangs.

The three areas of Yau Tsim Mong are a united front, and Sister Thirteen on Portland Street is also connected to the three Han brothers, with their influence deeply entrenched.

To be honest, among the twelve hall masters, Liang Kun's power is actually the greatest.
