Hong Kong variety show: Hung Hing, are you contributing to society?

The fat man stood up, his belly jiggling slightly: "Watson, go back and continue your undercover work. Contact me immediately if you have any news."

Ma Jun, you're in charge of keeping an eye on Lin Yaodong, but don't alert him.

"He Wenzhan, check if there's been any large-scale drug trafficking in the market recently."

"Yes!" the three replied in unison.

Watson was hooded and quietly escorted out of the police station by two plainclothes officers.

It was already 1 a.m. when they returned to the Vietnamese gang's stronghold.

Zha Ge and the others are still awake, watching boxing videos in the living room.

"Watson, are you alright?" Brother Zha asked, his eyes fixed on the TV screen.

"It's nothing. That damn cop dared to hit me... When I got to the police station, I said I was going to hire a lawyer to sue him, and in the end, he was only detained for a few hours before being released." Watson rubbed his face, his acting natural.

"But they still say I disturbed public order and fined me 500... They reserve the right to charge me with assaulting a police officer..."

Tony turned his head, his eyes sharp: "Did the police ask anything?"

"They asked if I threw the bottle, and I said yes, I was drunk." Watson shrugged and changed the subject.

"What can they ask? There's no evidence to prove that it was Brother Zha who threw it."

Ah Hu grinned: "You're quick-witted. Come on, have a drink to calm your nerves."

Watson took the beer, but his heart felt heavy.

As he watched the boxers go back and forth on the TV screen, he suddenly remembered Lin Yaodong's appearance at the nightclub that evening.

Ma Jun and the others didn't see it, but as an undercover agent, his keen eyesight had honed him to the point that he could clearly see the eye exchanges between Lin Yaodong and the Vietnamese gang members.

What exactly is that person plotting?

Could it be that he's really going to make a deal with the Vietnamese gang?

Over the next two days, Hong Kong's underworld appeared calm on the surface, but undercurrents were surging beneath.

The boxing match between Lin Yaodong and the Tsukamoto Group was held as scheduled.

News of the boxing match spread far and wide, and even tabloids began reporting on it, calling it the "fight of the century."

The Tsukamoto Group represents Japanese capital, while Lam Yiu-tung represents Hong Kong Island; this showdown has been imbued with a great deal of symbolism.

Some elderly men even shouted slogans and unfurled banners: Down with the Japanese!

The betting odds have been set up.

Odds indicate that most people favor the Tsukamoto Group.

They have the money to hire the best boxers, and they also have Tony and Ah Hu from the Vietnamese gang to help them.

Tony is a black market boxing champion, while Ah Hu is known for his brute strength. Both of them are famous in the underground boxing scene in Southeast Asia.

On Lin Yaodong's side, the known contestants are Xiao Fu and Gao Jin.

Gao Jin is Lin Yaodong's henchman, and I heard he's quite skilled.

Xiao Fu is a bit mysterious and rarely makes a move, but rumors say he's a very skilled fighter.

The third one... well, he's nothing special, just a street thug.

This led some to speculate that Lin Yaodong would eventually take the stage himself.

After all, as the former right-hand man of the big boss B, he rose to power through his fighting skills.

Besides the boxing match, another piece of news is circulating in small circles: Lin Yaodong's deal with the Vietnamese gang.

I don't know how long this news has been circulating.

Although not many people knew about this news, they were all prominent figures in the martial arts world.

Everyone is watching to see if this deal is real or fake, and what tricks Lin Yaodong is up to.

In the study of the Ni family villa, Ni Yongxiao sat behind a mahogany desk, listening to his subordinates' reports.

"Lin Yaodong has been very quiet these past two days. He's either at the company or at home. His staff are working normally, and there are no signs of a large-scale reshuffle."

Ni Yongxiao pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes behind the lenses deep and unfathomable: "Where are Azha and the others?"

"They're intensifying their training and even hired a Thai boxing champion as a sparring partner. They met with Brother Shan again, but I don't know exactly what they discussed..."

"Brother Shan..." Ni Yongxiao pondered, "He has a batch of goods, very pure, obtained directly from the Golden Triangle. If the Vietnamese gang wants to trade with Lin Yaodong, they need good goods to make a good impression."

He wanted to clarify that the four major families under his command were planning to run this kind of business themselves.

Now, Lin Yaodong has suddenly appeared, and even the usually obedient Vietnamese gang has joined in the chaos.

Ni Yongxiao stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the lights in the garden: "I can't see through Lin Yaodong."

You said he was going to get involved in the drug trade, but he's been more active in the anti-drug campaign than the police these past two years. You said he wanted to launder his money and start a business, but he's deliberately provoking the Tsukamoto Group...

The subordinate asked in a low voice, "Brother Xiao, should we get involved?"

Ni Yongxiao shook his head: "No, let's wait and see. A fight between Lin Yaodong and Tsukamoto would only benefit us. Ideally, they'd both be severely damaged in the end, and Tsukamoto's business, and even that lucrative Causeway Bay..."

He didn't finish speaking, but his meaning was already very clear.

The same conversation was taking place in the offices of other gang leaders.

Hung Hing's Chiang Tin-sang said to Chan Yiu, "Keep an eye on the boxing match, and also investigate the recent rumors about a deal..."

Dongxing Camel said to Smiling Tiger, "Send more people to keep an eye on things, especially the transaction. If it's real...we'll intercept them halfway through the transaction. If that doesn't work, we'll expose them!!"

Uncle Tang of Wo Luen Shing said to his uncles at the Yuen Long ancestral hall, "Lam Yiu-tung is either a friend or a corpse. It's unclear now, so let's wait until after the boxing match. Let's see them fight..."

Everyone has their own agenda.

Meanwhile, the police are under increasing pressure.

Huang Zhicheng was severely reprimanded by his superiors for failing to find Chen Haonan and for using so many police resources.

He was told to produce results as soon as possible, or he would be transferred to a clerical department.

Huang Zhicheng was so anxious that blisters appeared on his lips. He stared at Lin Yaodong's photo all day long, as if he wanted to see a hole through his face.

Ma Jun and He Wenzhan are also stepping up their preparations.

On the day of the boxing match, the police deployed a large number of personnel to maintain order, while also secretly setting up surveillance to monitor any potential transactions.

The fat superintendent has already requested support from the special operations team, and can make arrests at any time should a situation arise.

Hua Sheng continued to infiltrate Vietnam, reporting on the situation daily.

Brother Shan also gave the 80 million yuan payment for the goods to his brothers in Vietnam.

However, Watson was still not fully trusted, and he did not know where the money was hidden.

Liu Jianxing (Billy) works tirelessly at the construction company, his dark circles getting worse, but he remains energetic.

He had already handled a third of the company's business, and Su Jianqiu praised him highly, saying that he would promote him and give him a raise next month.

Liu Jianxing felt he was getting closer and closer to his goal.

Lin Yaodong, the man at the center of the storm, remained unusually calm.

The night before the boxing match, he stood alone on the balcony of his home in Causeway Bay, smoking.

Although this tenement building looks old, it offers a view of Victoria Harbour.

Hong Kong Island is ablaze with lights at night, cruise ships sail slowly on the sea, and the neon lights of Kowloon on the opposite shore form a sea of ​​light.

Gao Jin quietly walked up behind him: "Brother Dong, everything is arranged."

Lin Yaodong nodded without saying anything.

Gao Jin hesitated for a moment before asking, "...Is it really okay to use wild animals?"

Lin Yaodong didn't answer that question. Instead, he asked, "Where did the information come from? Have you found out?"
