Chapter 59: Reunion of Old Friends Unveils the Secret, Xinliansheng Swings the Baton

Luo Zhiming cut to the chase: "Acheng, you went undercover right after graduating from police academy, so you ended up working for Feilong."

Wang Zhicheng gave a wry smile: "Ah Luo, you know my identity, and you even said it in front of others?"

"Are you afraid I'll get stuffed in a sack and thrown into the sea one day?"

At this moment, Ho Ka-kui calmly replied, "Brother Chi-shing, I'm also an undercover agent."

hiss--!

Wang Zhicheng was completely dumbfounded and didn't come to his senses for a long time.

Since we're all on the same side, there's no need to hide anything.

But the next second he realized what he'd done, staring wide-eyed at Luo Zhiming: "Luo, you've become the new leader of Xinliansheng?"

Luo Zhiming smiled and said, "He's a whole generation older than you, and he's doing pretty well, so it makes perfect sense, doesn't it?"

Wang Zhicheng stared blankly for a long time before finally managing to utter, "You've gone from being an undercover agent to one of the top five in the underworld—Ah Luo, you've truly turned your job into a legend."

He paused, then shook his head: "But your superior really dared to let you out, isn't he afraid you'll forget your way home?"

Looking out the window at the darkening sky, Luo Zhiming sighed softly, "Perhaps there's no turning back for me."

Wang Zhicheng's heart tightened suddenly: "What do you mean by that? You're quitting being a policeman?"

Luo Zhiming shrugged: "Don't get excited, let me finish."

"I now have a mission—to completely straighten out Xinliansheng."

"According to my boss, this is a slow job, and it will take at least five to ten years."

"Once that day comes, even if my superiors call me back to the team, I might not be able to turn back."

A hint of melancholy crossed his voice, but he quickly perked up and pointed at Ho Ka-kui, "Kaka-kui is also tied to me."

"It seems that the two of us are really going to be together forever."

Wang Zhicheng thought he had misheard: "You mean—to let Xinliansheng 'whitewash'?"

"Are the top five gangs in the underworld switching to legitimate businesses?"

"Who gave you this decree from the King of Hell? Can this even work?"

"If this really works out, it will truly be a blessing for three generations!"

Luo Zhiming smiled and said, "Judging from the current situation, the chances are quite good."

"Xinliansheng is already making moves. Those guys inside are no longer street thugs; they've all gone to work in factories."

"Like this dock, we deployed a thousand people to take over its operation, and also provided a security team of a hundred people."

Wang Zhicheng's eyes nearly popped out of his head: "Which big shot would be willing to spend such a huge sum?"

Luo Zhiming smiled slightly: "You know him, I'll invite you to meet him another day."

Wang Zhicheng racked his brains but still couldn't figure out who it was: "You've already become the head of Xinliansheng, your direct superior must be at least a police superintendent. How could I possibly know someone like that?"

Luo Zhiming gently added, "He's our classmate."

Wang Zhicheng waved his hands repeatedly: "Classmates? Are you kidding me!"

"Even Ah Chu, who was the most outstanding back then, is now at most an inspector, just running errands for the patrol team."

Luo Zhiming shook his head with a smile: "Our class was full of talented people."

"Do you remember Chen Yongren? He's now a senior sergeant in the Major Crimes Unit."

"Where's Yang Jinrong? Inspector of the Major Crimes Unit."

"As for Ah Chu—the current head of the Major Crimes Unit, with the rank of Senior Superintendent!"

brush!

Wang Zhicheng immediately jumped up from his chair: "Ah Chu became a high-ranking official? And the head of the Major Crimes Unit?"

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

"Is he your direct supervisor?"

Luo Zhiming smiled without saying a word: "Otherwise, who do you think can suppress me?"

"I've infiltrated the top position at Xinliansheng, making me a top-notch undercover agent."

"If someone who doesn't trust me were in charge, would he be able to sleep soundly?"

"Only if Achu trusts me do I dare to chat with you so freely."

He paused, then asked in return, "And you? How's work going lately?"

Wang Zhicheng sighed: "Don't even mention it. The Flying Dragon I was keeping an eye on has long since stopped getting involved in the underworld."

"Everyone in Hong Kong knows he's retired, but my boss just won't believe it and forces me to investigate."

"It's just a waste of time."

Luo Zhiming's eyes lit up: "How about we hand over your side? Let A-Chu take over?"

Wang Zhicheng gave a wry smile: "Will this work?"

Luo Zhiming said confidently, "Don't worry, it's a piece of cake for Achu."

Wang Zhicheng was skeptical.

Luo Zhiming added, "Go back and tell Feilong that Xinliansheng is now on the right path. As long as he follows the rules, I won't cause him any trouble."

"For your sake, I'll give him some conveniences."

Wang Zhicheng frowned: "What reason do you have?"

Luo Zhiming shrugged: "Make it up however you want."

"You could say we get along well. You know how to behave appropriately and are reliable."

"If you're not afraid of losing face, you can just say you're good-looking!"

Wang Zhicheng rolled his eyes: "I'm not bad-looking to begin with."

Luo Zhiming simply took out his phone: "I'll call A-Chu right now."

"Let's finalize this as soon as possible."

Wang Zhicheng asked somewhat nervously, "Is this appropriate?"

Lok Chi-ming bluntly stated: "In Hong Kong, regardless of the circle, personal connections are more effective than the system."

"Ni Yongxiao of the Ni family once told me that the higher you go, the more important the connections become."

"Do you know how many company executives come from the same school? About 80%."

"The good seats were all taken by the senior students, so the later ones could only pick up the leftovers."

"At the bottom, connections matter more; to join a gang, you need to report your lineage and acknowledge a big shot."

"It's the same for us police officers."

"Ah Chu is now in charge of the Major Crimes Unit, holding the high-ranking position of Inspector, and his future is bright."

"If we old classmates don't know how to leverage our resources, then we're just wasting them." Wang Zhicheng turned to look at He Jiaju, who nodded silently.

"If I had that connection, I would have climbed up the ladder long ago."

"But it's not bad now, at least we've become Chu's people," Luo Zhiming explained. "We can't do without Chu, and Chu needs us too."

"He rose to the position of high governor at a young age, which was prestigious, but his foundation was not solid enough."

"His true support comes from us, his old classmates."

After hearing this, Wang Zhicheng said no more.

When He Chu received Luo Zhiming's call, he was taken aback: "Is Acheng an undercover agent for Feilong?"

"Didn't Feilong retire from the underworld a long time ago?"

"What kind of mission is it to infiltrate his ranks?"

Luo Zhiming replied with a smile, "Acheng is feeling really frustrated about this. Do you think we could transfer him to your side?"

Without hesitation, He Chu said, "The West Kowloon Major Crimes Unit C team is short-handed, so it's perfect that he comes over to help me."

Luo Zhiming chuckled: "He was actually a little nervous, afraid that something might go wrong with the transfer."

He Chuqian said decisively, "Give him the phone."

Wang Zhicheng took the receiver: "Brother Chu."

He Chu said calmly, "Just stay put and wait for news when you get back."

The transfer order will be finalized in three days at most.

I'll contact you then.

Wang Zhicheng smiled wryly: "But I'm currently in Yuen Long—if you transfer me, won't people think you're overstepping your bounds?"

"Wouldn't that be bad for your reputation?"

He Chu chuckled: "If it were someone else, this would be difficult."

"But for me, one phone call is enough."

97

"Don't worry, wait for my message."

Wang Zhicheng asked hesitantly, "So I'm still with Feilong now—"

He Chu pondered for a moment: "Continue the mission."

Before the transfer order is officially issued, don't let your superiors find any fault on your part.

"There are still some things to take care of with Feilong, so you might have to stay there a little longer."

Wang Zhicheng was taken aback: "But didn't he already retire from the underworld?"

"Could there be a problem with the business?"

He Chu shook his head: "You think you can just wash your hands after stepping into this industry? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

"Once I transfer your employment status to my name and give you some documents, you'll understand."

"You're playing in his place up front now, right?"

"Go back and reassure him. Out of respect for you, the higher-ups will give him preferential treatment."

Wang Zhicheng hesitated: "Then how should I say it?"

He Chu's answer was exactly the same as Luo Zhiming's: "Just find any excuse."

"If you feel a connection with A-Luo, just say you think he's reliable, or—or simply say you're pleasing to the eye."

Wang Zhicheng was stunned on the spot.

Luo Zhiming almost burst out laughing.

Wang Zhicheng said helplessly, "Why does this sound so unsettling?"

Luo Zhiming patted him on the shoulder: "That's because you don't understand how important A-Chu is."

"I guarantee you'll get your transfer order within a day!"

Wang Zhicheng remained skeptical.

Luo Zhiming simply handed over He Chu's number: "You really don't know what A-Chu is capable of?"

Wang Zhicheng stammered, "That was all when we were in school—"

Luo Zhiming sighed: "Once they leave the school gates, they're like fish entering the deep sea, or dragons soaring into the sky."

"Their true abilities are only just beginning to emerge."

"You'll see later just how amazing Ah Chu's actions are."

Wang Zhicheng was still uneasy, but he was always reserved, a trait inherent in every undercover agent—so he kept quiet and stopped asking questions.

If it can really be adjusted, that would be a good thing.

If it doesn't work out, he'll just have to keep enduring it as before.

Anyway, Feilong hasn't touched the dark roads for a long time, and the higher-ups will find out sooner or later.

Unexpectedly, his phone rang shortly after he started driving. It was his direct superior, Inspector Gao, calling: "Wang Zhicheng, your assignment has been transferred to the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit, Team C, and you are now under the direct jurisdiction of Senior Inspector He Chu."

"You've got some powerful connections, kid. You've managed to get on that bandwagon."

"Work hard and don't bring shame to Yuen Long."

Wang Zhicheng almost swerved the steering wheel and crashed into the guardrail.

It hasn't even been an hour, right?

The transfer order was processed just like that?

This is outrageous!

He suddenly remembered Luo Zhiming's words: "You have no idea how amazing Ah Chu is."

After calming himself down, he immediately dialed He Chu's number: "Brother Chu, Inspector Gao just informed me that my transfer has been finalized."

O

He Chu smiled faintly: "He's quite quick."

"From now on, you will only be responsible for me."

If I'm temporarily unavailable, you can directly contact Ah Rong or Ah Ren.

"Now, come to the West Kowloon Headquarters and pick up some information."

Wang Zhicheng's heart tightened: "What information?"

He Chu lowered his voice: "I just heard that something big is going to happen to Feilong."

"Let's talk about it when you get there."

Wang Zhicheng's heart tightened, and he immediately turned the car around and headed straight for the West Kowloon Headquarters.

This was the first time he had stepped into this building.

He Chu raised his hand to beckon him over and introduced him to his colleagues present: "This is Wang Zhicheng, my classmate from the police academy. He is currently on an undercover mission."

Upon hearing that he was He Chu's old classmate, Abang and Luo Ji immediately showed friendly smiles and warmly welcomed him; Chen Yongren and Yang Jinrong went straight up and gave him a firm hug.

Wang Zhicheng was a little confused: "Ah Chu, you have connections in Yuen Long? You transferred me here so quickly?"

He Chu smiled and said, "I don't know anyone in Yuen Long, but I have connections at the New Territories Headquarters."

"My direct supervisor was just transferred from here to serve as a superintendent in the New Territories Major Crime Unit."

I asked him to go through the proper procedures to bring you back; it would all make perfect sense.

Former Senior Inspector Luk Kai-cheung of Group C successfully passed the promotion assessment and was promoted to Superintendent. He has already gone to the New Territories Headquarters to take charge of the Major Crime Unit.

Abang picked up the conversation and began to explain the current situation to Wang Zhicheng: "Our C group is severely understaffed right now."

"The only ones who can actually handle cases are a handful of us."

"And there are also two brothers, Lok Chi-ming and Ho Ka-kui, who are out on special missions."

Wang Zhicheng laughed: "I just met them today. They're really something, managing to infiltrate the gang and become leaders."

Abang sighed: "I was hoping that Brother Chu could bring back someone who could actually help."

"I didn't expect you to continue being an undercover agent."

Wang Zhicheng shook his head with a wry smile: "I'm wondering myself, what's there to keep an eye on with Feilong?"

"Who in Hong Kong doesn't know he's retired?"

He Chu handed him a document: "He's no longer involved in the underworld, but a large part of his former network of connections is still deeply entrenched in the criminal underworld."

"We just received a tip that someone is eyeing his funds."

Wang Zhicheng was taken aback: "What?"

Yang Jinrong adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "This information was originally intended for Brother Chang, our former team leader Lu Qichang, who is now the head of the New Territories Serious Crimes Unit."

"Now that he's gone, why don't you take this opportunity to bring him back yourself?"

Wang Zhicheng's eyes widened: "Me? Take confidential police documents back to Feilong?"

"Isn't this against the rules?"

Yang Jinrong explained, "We've analyzed it, and Feilong has indeed completely retired from the underworld; he's now a legitimate businessman."

"and----"

"Your identity is probably no longer a secret."

Wang Zhicheng suddenly looked up: "What did you say?"

"Have I been exposed?"

"impossible!"

"If he knew I was a police officer, why did he still keep me around and give me important responsibilities?"

Yang Jinrong shrugged: "Perhaps in his view, having a policeman by his side is actually a good thing."

Wang Zhicheng frowned: "Good news?"

"Don't you understand?" Yang Jinrong retorted. "With police officers following him closely, nothing he does escapes the police force's eyes."

"Whether he has re-entered organized crime is perfectly clear."

This logic is so compelling that it's impossible to refute.

Abang chimed in, "A straight body casts a straight shadow."

"Besides, those chosen to go undercover are all top performers in the police force."

"Ability, education, responsiveness—which aspect isn't outstanding?"

"Just in terms of diplomas, they're miles ahead of most people."

Wang Zhicheng was speechless for a moment and had no words to reply.

He Chu gently patted the back of his hand: "Don't overthink it. Take a look at the information first, and ask me if you don't understand anything."

Wang Zhicheng immediately calmed down and began to review the documents.

He was stunned after just one glance: "Tang Bao's son, Wen Jun, is actually involved with Hua Fu of Dongxing?"

"Is there some mistake somewhere?"

"I've met that child; he's gentle and well-mannered, not the type to do something like this."

He Chu shook his head: "Don't be fooled by appearances, this guy is a wolf in sheep's clothing at heart."

"I was never well-behaved when I was studying abroad in my early years; I did all sorts of bad things."

"If it weren't for the murder case, I wouldn't have suddenly returned to China."

Wang Zhicheng gasped, immediately becoming alert.

Pointing to the file, Ho Chu continued, "Our goal has always been to maintain social stability on Hong Kong Island."

"When you go back this time, you can reveal your identity and explain this matter clearly."

"Once it's all settled, I can truly rejoin the team."

Wang Zhicheng asked, "Then I'll be responsible for protecting Feilong's family?"

He Chu nodded: "That's right."

"He is now a legitimate businessman, so we should ensure the safety of him and his family."

Wang Zhicheng slowly nodded: "Brother Chu, I understand."

He Chu took out a slip of paper from his pocket and handed it over: "This is Superintendent Lu Qichang's phone number. In case of an emergency, contact him directly and he will provide you with support."

"Remember, the Yuen Long Precinct is under the jurisdiction of the New Territories. We are from West Kowloon. Interfering in other districts is an overstepping of boundaries, and it's not worth the risk."

Wang Zhicheng solemnly accepted the note and nodded vigorously: "Brother Chu, I understand the situation."

He Chu turned to Abang, his tone calm but weighty: "Talk to Acheng about the rules. From today onwards, he's part of our group."

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we should be able to officially return to our unit in three months."

"With an extra person, everyone's burden will be lighter."

Abang pulled Wang Zhicheng aside and said in a gentle tone, "The atmosphere in our group is actually quite harmonious."

Although everyone has a different personality, and some may seem a bit aloof, they all consider you a brother in their hearts.” Wang Zhicheng smiled and said, “I can feel that.”

There are currently six people in Group C.

Most of them were his old classmates, which made Wang Zhicheng feel much more at ease.

Abang nodded: "That's good."

"Everything else is negotiable, but the key issue is what we're going to do next."

"Brother Chu is our backbone. In order to allow everyone to focus on solving the case and not be distracted by trivial matters, he specially asked someone to set up an investment pool."

"This is a perk unique to our group."

"Each person should invest 30% of their monthly salary."

"The dividends will be distributed proportionally next month."

"The allocation is fixed, and there's no way to invest more."

"However, you can choose not to receive dividends and simply reinvest the profits, that's fine."

Wang Zhicheng was intrigued: "We have this kind of arrangement here?"

Abang lowered his voice: "This is an internal benefit; no matter how many people outside want to squeeze in, they can't."

Wang Zhicheng didn't hesitate for long and immediately took out the money.

He didn't completely trust Abang, but he trusted He Chu. He knew He Chu wouldn't embarrass him.

Abang handed him a receipt: "Make sure you keep this safe."

Wang Zhicheng was somewhat puzzled: "Brother Bang, is it really necessary to be so serious about such a small amount?"

Abang's face darkened: "You think this is just a piece of paper?"

"This involves millions, even tens of millions of dollars in transactions!"

"If something goes wrong, who can cover it up?"

what? !

Wang Zhicheng was stunned.

Is this true?

He turned to look at his two old friends, Chen Yongren and Yang Jinrong, and heard Chen Yongren say calmly, "Acheng, listen to Brother Bang, this order is more important than your life."

Wang Zhicheng immediately apologized and carefully hid the receipt close to his body.

Abang then smiled and said, "Alright, you're a sensible kid who listens to advice."

Wang Zhicheng walked out of the West Kowloon Headquarters with a heavy heart.

What happened that day felt like a dream.

Luo Zhiming actually infiltrated Xinliansheng and even led the entire organization to clean up its image and transform itself:

Old classmate Chan Wing-yan is now a senior sergeant, Yeung Kam-wing has become an inspector, and Ho Chu has not only been promoted to senior inspector and taken charge of the Major Crimes Unit, but has now become his direct superior.

Most incredibly, he himself became a member of the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit, skipping two ranks.

What he found even harder to digest was that He Chu actually asked him to bring back the police station's investigation materials to Fei Long!

He seemed somewhat dazed.

Wang Zhicheng looked at Feilong with mixed emotions: "Brother Long, there's something I've always wanted to tell you."

Feilong gestured to the seat next to him: "Sit down and talk. Did you run into a wall with Luo Zhiming?"

Wang Zhicheng shook his head: "No, it went very smoothly."

He also said he welcomed cooperation from legitimate businesses and offered a 10% discount.

Feilong nodded in satisfaction: "Well done, I wasn't wrong about you."

Wang Zhicheng gritted his teeth: "Brother Long, I'm a policeman."

Feilong casually replied, "I know."

Wang Zhicheng's eyes widened: "You know I'm a policeman, yet you still dare to keep me around to work for you?"

Feilong laughed: "So what?"

"If you walk upright and stand straight, you have nothing to fear from being watched."

"You're a talented person, of course I'll use you."

"Besides, with a policeman by my side, you know exactly what I do, which is fair to everyone."

Wang Zhicheng was speechless.

Good grief, his colleague had already warned him on the phone—Feilong didn't care about his identity being exposed because he was on the right path.

While he was still racking his brains over fabricated evidence at the Yuen Long Precinct, the people at West Kowloon saw through the situation at a glance.

The difference is too obvious.

If they had moved there a day earlier, they wouldn't have had to pretend for so long.

Feilong asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you being wronged by doing this for me?"

Wang Zhicheng gave him a deep look: "It's not that I feel wronged, it's just that I've been acting for too long and I'm a little tired."

Feilong nodded understandingly: "You're such a straightforward person, it's really not easy for you to keep things hidden all the time."

"But this is your job, isn't it?"

"Why are you suddenly confronting me about this?"

Wang Zhicheng shrugged.

"I got a new boss, and when he heard that I was sent undercover to infiltrate your team, he shook his head, saying he completely couldn't understand what his former leader was thinking." Fei Long couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "So, your police force finally believes I'm a legitimate person?"

Wang Zhicheng waved his hand: "That's not true."

Feilong was taken aback: "No? Then why did you deliberately reveal your identity?"

Wang Zhicheng grinned: "Your current boss thinks you're fine, but my former boss didn't see it that way."

"What's more troublesome is that this area of ​​yours" falls under the jurisdiction of that old superior.

"I reckon he'll plant another spy in your camp sooner or later."

"what?"

Feilong's relaxed expression froze instantly: "Is this going to go on forever?"

Wang Zhicheng shrugged: "Who can say for sure?"

"However, since you are true gold that fears no fire, and as you yourself said, you have embarked on the right path,"

"What's the big deal if a few more police officers are loitering around?"

"If you have nothing to hide, you're not afraid of a knock on the door in the middle of the night." Feilong sighed. "So you're going back to the police station?"

Wang Zhicheng sighed softly, "I also want to go back as soon as possible, but there's still one thing I need to finish."

Feilong frowned: "I don't have anything here that requires your help, do I?"

"Why don't you just stay here and lend me a hand?"

Wang Zhicheng said firmly, "No, I have to go back."

"Being a policeman has been my dream since I was a child."

"My task now is to ensure the safety of you and your family."

Feilong's expression immediately changed: "Protect me and my family?"

"Is someone watching us?"

Wang Zhicheng pulled a brown paper bag from his pocket: "This is what my boss asked me to return personally."

Feilong almost thought he'd misheard: "Your boss told you to bring this back to me?"

"This...aren't you breaking the rules?"

Wang Zhicheng shrugged: "He's the boss, what he says goes, how dare I disobey?"

Feilong became interested and asked with a smile, "What secret is inside?"

Wang Zhicheng nodded: "It's confidential, but it's not good news."

Feilong took the document, flipped through a few pages, and his face suddenly darkened: "Hua Fu is colluding with Wen Jun, trying to take over my business?"

Wang Zhicheng looked at him: "Brother Long, do you think this is possible?"

Feilong was both amused and exasperated: "You're a policeman, and you're asking me if I believe you?"

Wang Zhicheng frowned: "Hua Fu is the head of Dongxing, and he's always been difficult to deal with."

But Wenjun is different; he's Brother Leopard's son.

"I saw that child a while ago; he was quite polite."

Feilong crossed his arms and slowly said, "You can't judge a person by their appearance alone."

"I even held Wenjun when he was little, but that kid was very wild from a young age, and he dared to do all sorts of outrageous things."

"This time, I caused trouble all the way abroad to study. I didn't come back after graduation at all; I was sent back because I got into trouble."

Wang Zhicheng suddenly looked up: "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Feilong waved his hand: "How could I say something like that? Where would that leave Brother Leopard's face?"

After hearing this, Wang Zhicheng's doubts immediately diminished by eight-tenths.

The documents clearly state that Wenjun has great ambitions; he covets Feilong's family fortune and also wants to seize his father Tang Bao's position.

To this end, he won over Hua Fu and even bribed Ma Wang.

"It's alright with Ma Wang, after all, he's one of our own from Hung Hing."

"But Hua Fu is from Dongxing! This cross-gang alliance is a ruthless move."

2

Wang Zhicheng stared at Feilong: "If it were anyone else, you would have already made your move."

But Wenjun was different; he was Tang Bao's only son.

"According to the rules, the branch will likely belong to him in the future."

"This is a tricky matter."

Feilong lit a cigarette and casually tossed one to Wang Zhicheng: "When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it."

"I don't do shady business anymore, but I've handled knives and risked my life before."

Wang Zhicheng immediately objected: "No way!"

"You've reached the shore; you can't get your hands dirty again."

"Once you turn back, you can never clear your name."

"Moreover—there's another difficulty here: even if you wanted to do it, you couldn't bring yourself to do it."

Feilong squinted: "What difficulties?"

Wang Zhicheng stared directly at him and uttered two words: "Tang Bao".

Feilong shuddered, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and closed his eyes.

Wang Zhicheng hit the nail on the head.

With Tang Bao around, this matter is indeed difficult to handle.

Tang Bao was not only a leader of Hung Hing, but also Fei Long's elder brother, who had taken good care of him for many years.

Wenjun is Tang Bao's only child.

On one side is brotherhood, on the other is the blood ties between father and son.

How do we break this deadlock?

After a long silence, Feilong opened his eyes: "What are your plans?"

Wang Zhicheng shook his head: "It's not that I have any ideas."

"We had already figured out their plan and wrote a report."

He opened the file and pointed to a few lines: "They know you're not someone to mess with, so they never intended to take direct action against you."

"Their target is your family."

"You may seem fearless on your own, but have you ever thought about your mother, wife, and children?"

Feilong's tone was calm yet firm: "No matter how many people there are, I won't even flinch."

He paused, then added, "But I would never put my family in danger."

Wang Zhicheng nodded slightly: "That makes sense."

Feilong suddenly looked up and stared at him: "You said you were ordered to come back to protect me, and you're the only one?"

Wang Zhicheng did not evade the question, looking him directly in the eye as he replied, "The New Territories Regional Crime Unit can intervene at any time if necessary."

.

Feilong's lips moved, but in the end he just shook his head and gave a wry smile: "Then I am truly fortunate beyond measure."

Luo Zhiming spent the entire afternoon carefully inquiring about the port.

Yuen Long Pier is not just a place for fishing; it is also a key springboard for New Luen Shing to establish new businesses.

If we want to truly take a step forward, this dock is the key.

"Many of us in Yuen Long come from families whose ancestors have made a living by the sea."

"I couldn't make ends meet, so I took this path."

"Now that we have the dock, we can give them some preferential treatment."

"Many people have actually been thinking about starting their own legitimate business for a long time."

As He Jiaju spoke, he observed Luo Zhiming's reaction.

Luo Zhiming nodded repeatedly: "Those who are out in the game, apart from a few naive and reckless youngsters, are mostly people who have been forced into a corner by life." "Those who want to start a business are mostly trying to fulfill the dream of that poor boy they were back then."

"Okay, the company will push this through."

"They supply seafood, which perfectly aligns with our catering business."

"Go and do a survey to see how many of our brothers really want to do something on their own, and the company is willing to fund it."

"Remember, not the kind of usurious loans that charge exorbitant upfront fees. It would be best if it were interest-free, but if that's not possible, offer interest subsidies."

"But we must be absolutely certain—this is company money, and it will have to be repaid in the future."

He Jiaju frowned and shook his head: "Doing business is never that easy. Eight out of ten people will lose money."

Luo Zhiming didn't seem to care: "So what if we lost money?"

"At worst, I'll just go back to work."

"I'll pay back my salary one penny at a time, slowly."

"I'm not afraid they'll run away!"

He Jiaju gave a thumbs up: "Brother Luo's vision is truly impressive."

Luo Zhiming smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of lending them money; what I'm afraid of is that they'll still be thinking about the days when they fought with knives."

"We're not teenagers or young boys anymore; we have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise."

"At your age, if you're not thinking about making money steadily, how will you support your family in the future?"

"Are we supposed to just drink air and dew every day?"

He Jiaju's expression turned serious: "You've hit the nail on the head."

Before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed: "Brother Luo, trouble is brewing."

Luo Zhiming turned his head and saw Richard standing not far away, dressed impeccably and putting on airs.

He raised an eyebrow: "This guy still has the nerve to show his face?"

"Ka-Kui, call him over."

He Jiaju responded and quickly walked over: "Brother Luo is looking for you."

Richard looked bewildered: "What are you doing here?"

Ho Ka-kui ignored him and simply waved for him to follow.

Luo Zhiming looked down at him condescendingly: "You certainly know how to pick your spots, always choosing to hang around in our territory?"

Richard quickly explained, "I just came to buy some seafood; the seafood here in Yuen Long is the freshest."

Luo Zhiming's face suddenly turned cold: "You have money to eat fish, shrimp, and crab, but no money to pay me back twenty million?"

"Tell me, how many days has it been since I last saw you?"

"Are you avoiding me?"

Richard quickly raised his hand: "Brother Luo, it's really not! It's a misunderstanding!"

"How could I possibly hide from you? I have already sent an official letter through government channels to the entire Hong Kong police force to crack down on drugs."

"I'm trying to gather the goods so I can pay you back!"

"Bang!" Luo Zhiming slammed his hand on the railing and spat, "What would I do with that filthy stuff? Don't you know I hate drugs the most?"

"I want real cash! Two thousand red-background coins!"

Richard immediately wanted to slap himself. Oh no, he'd stepped on a landmine.

Yes, the person in front of me despises nothing more than the business of exchanging drugs for money.

He actually went and crashed into it on his own.

He quickly put on a pained expression: "Brother Luo, isn't your Xinliansheng a triad? You can just sell it and cash out—"

"How about I send out a few more batches?"

Luo Zhiming's eyes turned cold: "Xinliansheng is undergoing a transformation and will no longer engage in shady business."

You even tried to force drugs on us, were you trying to kill us?

Richard stood there, stunned, not understanding for a long time: "Giving up the underworld—what does that mean?"

Luo Zhiming said calmly, "To whitewash."

Richard's eyes widened suddenly: "You're going to bleach it?"

"You're one of the top five powers in Hong Kong!"

Luo Zhiming's gaze was sharp as a knife: "We want to walk the right path, do you have a problem with that?"

Richard gave a wry smile: "How could I dare say anything!"

He was genuinely afraid of Luo Zhiming.

This guy is truly a veteran of the underworld; he's impervious to reason and threats, and he doesn't care what methods these people use.

It's not the kind of street thugs who are fearless and aggressive; it's a ruthlessness and decisiveness that comes from the bone. If you say you're going to fight, you'll fight without any regard for reason.

If he really tries to trip up Xinliansheng, they can immediately gather a bunch of people to draw lots for their fate.

Those teenagers and young boys in their twenties are most susceptible to this kind of life-threatening trick.

But he only has a few people on his side?

Can they withstand this kind of reckless fighting style?

Stop joking!

Even if he puts on a tough front, he's actually feeling guilty inside.

Why?

It's better to be safe than sorry.

Moreover, the Golden Club plan had already fallen through.

The situation has completely changed.

Now it's not Xinliansheng begging the Golden Club for cooperation; it's the other way around—they don't need them at all anymore.

Richard had no say in front of Luo Zhiming.

Nothing in life is more unpredictable than this.

But then, Xinliansheng suddenly wants to "whitewash" its image? This is when Richard can't sit still anymore.

He hurriedly advised, "Brother Luo, Xinliansheng has finally reached this point, it's the perfect time to expand. Why are you suggesting we back down?"

"Are you really willing to take off this skin?"

"Would other gangs agree to this?"

Luo Zhiming sneered: "In the current situation, our Xinliansheng is already one of the top five gangs in the underworld."

"To put it bluntly, it's reached its peak."

"If we keep pushing upwards, we'll inevitably run into established brands like Chung Yee Shun, Wo Luen Shing, Wo Hing Shing, and Hung Hing."

"If we're constantly fighting each other, how will we be able to do business?"

"Your police can take this opportunity to increase manpower and clear the area under a legitimate pretext."

"What a brilliant plan!"

Richard was sweating.

He had only asked the question casually and hadn't thought about it deeply at all.

Luo Zhiming's comment sent a chill down his spine—it really was true!

Choosing to retire at this critical juncture will not only be met with no opposition, but various factions will turn a blind eye and even secretly allow it.

The major gangs like Zhongyi and Xin couldn't be happier—finally, there was one less formidable opponent in the martial arts world!

Luo Zhiming's move is a perfect example of retiring gracefully at the peak of one's career.

And what about myself? I'm like a despicable person who hopes for others to bleed and sacrifice themselves, pleasing neither side.

Richard was completely wronged.

Some might ask: Once Xinliansheng becomes a legitimate company, wouldn't it be easier to manage?

How is that possible!

Who truly holds sway in Hong Kong? It's the tycoons who control capital!

Given its size, once the transformation is complete, it will immediately become a top local business group.

The resources they control will grow exponentially—the underworld can't operate in the light of day, and much of its power has to be hidden; but the legitimate world is different, operating openly and aboveboard, and all its energy can be released.

When government departments want to take action against a large enterprise, they have to think twice, find excuses, and follow procedures. If they are not careful, it can turn into a media storm and even attract international attention.

Richard grew increasingly alarmed—how could New Union have completely deviated from his predictions in the blink of an eye?!

Luo Zhiming had a faint smile on his lips as he quietly looked at Richard, but his gaze made Richard feel very uncomfortable.

"You mean you don't want my Xinliansheng to have an easy time at all."

"Looks like I'll have to teach you a lesson."

Richard, sweating profusely, exclaimed, "Brother Luo, it's a complete misunderstanding!"

Luo Zhiming ignored all explanations and waved his hand dismissively: "Deal with it on the grounds of disrupting market order."

Ho Ka-kui grinned maliciously and was about to step forward to make a move, but was stopped by Lok Chi-ming's stern shout: "Are you a security guard? Who gave you permission to act without authorization?"

"You think we're still hanging around in gangs?"

"We are a legitimate company now!"

"The company has its rules! You're my assistant, how could you do something like this?"

"Call the security department; only they have the authority to enforce the law."

Richard felt a chill: "Brother Luo, surely you don't need to call the market management office?"

Ho Ka-kui gave a cold laugh: "I forgot to tell you."

"This dock beneath your feet recently changed hands and is now under the management of Brother Luo."

hiss-

Richard gasped.

"Have you really cleared your name?"

Ho Ka-kui continued, "Our Brother Lok is still the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Hong Kong Island Power."

Richard was nearly scared out of his wits: "Brother Luo! President Luo! Please forgive me this time!"

But Luo Zhiming didn't even glance at him.

The next second, the security personnel—who were actually the core thugs of the former Brilliant Hall—swarmed forward, wielding rubber batons, and began to strike mercilessly! They were really hitting them!

This group of people fight all year round, and they specialize in hitting people where they are most vulnerable. They are skilled and precise in their techniques, and they specialize in attacking joints and areas with dense nerves.

They beat him for a full three minutes, with screams echoing throughout. Richard was beaten so badly that he rolled on the ground, crying and begging for his parents.

Only when Luo Zhiming calmly said "Stop" did everyone stop and leave.

The security team leader was still not satisfied and muttered under his breath, "Brother Luo, this guy caused chaos in the market, and he's only been beaten for three minutes. Isn't that too lenient?" Everyone was extremely pleased that a foreigner had been beaten!

Who has ever seen a foreigner taught a lesson so decisively and cleanly? Their fists were still clenched, and they were still seething with anger.

Luo Zhiming glanced at the captain, who immediately fell silent, shrank his neck, bowed, and slunk away.

Richard's face was a mix of blue and purple, his mouth was split open, and blood trickled down his chin.

Luo Zhiming said coldly, "I'm giving you face, so you'd better know what's good for you."

"Those who have been around in the world know how to gracefully accept a way out when someone offers them a way out."

"You really think I'm easy to bully?"

Richard's voice was hoarse and trembling as he said, "Brother Luo, I admit my mistake. I really know I was wrong."

Only now did he truly understand Luo Zhiming's ruthlessness, and he couldn't help but regret that if he had known this would happen, he would never have turned against Suanbao in the first place.

Looking back now, even when dealing with the eccentric Lin Yaochang or Ah Tian who was always going against him, at least there were rules to follow when cooperating.

But the newly appointed Luo Zhiming didn't buy into that at all.

Whether you're a big shot like John or a seasoned local, it makes no difference to him.

They'll act without hesitation, and they won't hesitate to take your life.

There's absolutely no room for negotiation!

If he could do it all over again, he would rather swallow his anger than lay a finger on Suan.

At least Ah Tian is alive and can still manage.

Working with Ah Tim, even the most difficult situations can be discussed and resolved; but what about working with Lok Chi Ming?

No, we couldn't even be said to have worked together.

That was a one-sided crushing defeat.

Luo Zhiming said calmly, "I'm a reasonable person, and I understand difficulties."

"I'll give you thirty days to raise the money."

"No matter what method you try, you won't be able to pay it back in time."

"I went to the police station myself to 'collect the debt.'"

He paused, then casually added, "By the way, half of Xinliansheng still hasn't been completely demolished."

"You're welcome to try and not pay it back."

hiss-

A chill ran from Richard’s head to his feet.
