Hong Kong Film: Starting Undercover from the Five Tigers!

Woke up?

The sound came from the shadows. The man with the burned face sat in the corner, toying with the bronze token in his hand. The character "Hong" on the token gleamed dimly under the lamplight.

Liu Wenhao squinted: The Hong'an Gang was wiped out twenty years ago.

Destruction? The man sneered, simply disappearing underground. He stood up, tossed Liu Wenhao a stack of photos, and said, "Take a look at this."

The photo showed Dongxing's transaction records for the past few months—firepower equipment, powdered daggers, and even several invoices labeled as experimental biological agents. Liu Wenhao's fingertips trembled slightly. He had long suspected Chen Tianba was involved in a larger business, but he hadn't expected it to be this outrageous.

"Chen Tianba is not only the head of Dongxing now," the man said in a low voice, "but also the 'Dark River' behind him."

Liu Wenhao suddenly looked up: The International Black Market Alliance?

That's right. The man nodded. They were preparing for a large-scale transaction next month on the 'Red Moon Night' at the abandoned shipyard in Kowloon. If successful, it would reshape the entire Asian underworld.

Liu Wenhao clutches the photo tightly: Why did you save me?

The man was silent for a moment, then pushed the bronze token in front of him: "Because you are the only one who can stop this."

Me? Liu Wenhao scoffed. I am now the number one traitor of Tung Sing, and all the triads in Hong Kong are hunting me down.

That's why, with the man staring at him, no one would expect you to dare interfere.

Liu Wenhao stared at the token and suddenly realized something: Your Hong'an Gang... wants to use me to get back into the limelight?

The man did not deny it, but pulled out a familiar military dagger from under the table—Liu Wenhao's knife.

The choice is yours: he throws the knife at you, you continue your escape, or...

—Or fight back. Liu Wenhao caught the military knife, his fingertips tracing the black tape wrapped around the hilt.

Outside the window, the torrential rain had not yet stopped.

Chapter 1142 Kill!

The atmosphere gradually became eerie. No one spoke, and no one dared to move.

Liu Wenhao licked the blade with the tip of his tongue, and with a "plop," blood splattered as he sliced ​​across the blade.

Li Xiaoman turned pale with fright. She couldn't imagine how sharp that knife was, that even flesh couldn't withstand its damage, and that blood would splatter with just a light touch!

Liu Wenhao gripped his military dagger, flashing a smile at the crowd. His smile was genuinely happy, even tinged with satisfaction and pride. His eyes smiled, his nose smiled, his lips smiled. But that smile sent a chill down everyone's spine.

Liu Wenhao smiled and pointed the knife at Li Xiaoman. "You were just insulting me, weren't you? Calling me some kind of pervert, right? Try saying it again!" His smile gradually faded.

"No, it wasn't me." Li Xiaoman trembled with fear, her eyes wide with terror. Everyone else had the same expression; even Zhao Bin was pale. He couldn't understand how things had come to this.

"Not you?" Liu Wenhao sneered. "You better pray that you didn't do this, or I'll make you wish you were dead."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man suddenly stood up and lunged at Li Xiaoman. With a muffled thud, Li Xiaoman's body crashed into the dining table, knocking over the cups and plates, which shattered on the floor.

"It was you, wasn't it!" The man grabbed Li Xiaoman's hair, gripping the back of her head tightly. "Did you kill them and then frame me?"

"It wasn't me, it wasn't me." Li Xiaoman struggled desperately, her face obscured by her hair, making her expression impossible to see. But her voice, trembling with tears, was heartbreaking to hear.

Liu Wenhao watched their actions and sneered, "Are you putting on an act for me?"

No one paid him any attention; everyone was watching Liu Cheng, hoping he would help Li Xiaoman. But Liu Cheng didn't move. His expression was strange, as if he were thinking about something, or perhaps recalling something.

"It's you, isn't it?" The man's voice was hoarse, like a knife cutting sandpaper.

Li Xiaoman shook her head frantically, "It wasn't me!"

"I'll kill you!" The man suddenly exerted force, grabbing her hair tightly, lifting her up, and then slamming her to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw. "Die!"

Li Xiaoman screamed and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up. The man, however, seemed to have gone mad, gripping her neck tightly.

His eyes widened, and his face turned bluish-purple.

"No, don't kill me! Please." Li Xiaoman uttered intermittently, her eyes bulging, looking extremely terrifying.

The others looked rather grim, but no one dared to step forward and stop them.

Just then, Liu Wenhao, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up, walked to the dining table, picked up a piece of cake, put it in his mouth, and slowly chewed. The taste of blood filled his mouth, bringing a strong tingling sensation.

The others quickly looked away, not wanting to witness this bloody scene.

After finishing his cake, Liu Wenhao took a chicken leg from the table and placed it in front of him. He slowly cut the meat into pieces with his bayonet, one by one, his movements very serious. Each time he cut off a small piece of meat, he put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, as if savoring the taste.

After finishing a chicken leg, he looked at the other people.

Zhao Bin was so frightened that he trembled all over, his face turned pale, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

"Brother Liu, please let us go," Zhao Bin said, his voice trembling with tears. "This has nothing to do with me, please let me go."

Liu Wenhao looked at him without saying a word.

Zhao Bin felt uncomfortable being stared at. He tried to look away, but found that Liu Wenhao was staring at his right hand.

Zhao Bin was startled and instinctively tried to hide his right hand, but it was too late. Liu Wenhao was already beside him.

Zhao Bin subconsciously took a few steps back. He wanted to dodge, but he felt weak all over and couldn't even stand up straight.

"Want to die?" Liu Wenhao sneered.

Zhao Bin turned pale with fright and shook his head repeatedly.

"If you don't want to die, explain what happened clearly," Liu Wenhao said.

Zhao Bin was stunned. He hadn't expected Liu Wenhao to demand the truth. But what difference did it make? Would telling the truth make him go? If that were the case, Zhao Bin would rather tell the whole story. At least that way he'd still have a chance to live.

Zhao Bin gritted his teeth and mustered his courage to say, "That matter really wasn't my fault. They insisted on doing it that way." As he spoke, he pointed at Li Xiaoman.

Li Xiaoman had stopped struggling. She sat on the ground, staring blankly at everything, tears streaming down her face.

The others were equally bewildered; the turn of events had completely exceeded their expectations. Who could have imagined Liu Wenhao would suddenly make his move? And who could have predicted that Liu Wenhao would use such methods to kill Zhao Bin?

No one knows the answer.

Seeing everyone's blank expressions, Zhao Bin continued, "Last night, we discussed it and decided to take action today."

"Why today?" someone couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Bin did not answer the man, but continued, "Our plan is to kill Liu Wenhao first at dawn today, and then slowly steer the matter toward Li Xiaoman, making her our scapegoat so that we can escape the police's pursuit."

"But then an unexpected change occurred. We discovered a safer place."

"Where?" everyone asked anxiously.

Zhao Bin didn't speak. He looked out the window, where there was a forest.

Following his gaze, the group discovered a cave. However, they had no idea what lay inside.

"What's in the cave?" Zhao Bin asked again.

Liu Cheng shook his head, "I don't know. I only know that the cave is very deep and there are many things inside, but I didn't go in."

"Things?" Liu Wenhao was taken aback; he hadn't expected there to be an unknown place here. "What's going on?"

Liu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "That place is very dangerous, it's best not to go in. If possible, we should leave here and go somewhere else."

"Why do you want to leave?" Liu Wenhao frowned slightly.

Liu Cheng shook his head. "You'll see when you get there."

Liu Wenhao frowned even more; this was clearly a ploy to whet people's appetites.

Seeing that he didn't believe him, Liu Cheng said, "It's true, I'm not lying to you. If you really want to know the truth, come with me."

Liu Wenhao hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Brother Liu, I'll go with you too," Zhao Bin said hurriedly.

His only thought now was to stick close to Liu Wenhao. That way, he might still have a glimmer of hope. If he really separated from Liu Wenhao, he would only face certain death.

Liu Wenhao glanced at him, gave a cold smile, and said nothing.

Zhao Bin felt uneasy under Liu Wenhao's gaze. He dared not look at Liu Wenhao anymore and could only lower his head, pretending that nothing had happened.

The others wore expressions of schadenfreude. Everyone knew that Zhao Bin had just betrayed them. Although they didn't know why Liu Wenhao had suddenly attacked them, since Zhao Bin was going to be in trouble, they might as well let him suffer a bit first.

The group followed Liu Wenhao out of the room and headed towards the forest.

Along the way, no one spoke except for Liu Cheng.

Looking at the deep forest before him, Liu Wenhao felt a vague sense of unease.

He knew that Zhao Bin and the others didn't really want to bring him to this place, but rather wanted to take the opportunity to leave, which was why he deliberately agreed to come out with Zhao Bin. But he didn't expect things to take such an unexpected turn.

Seeing that Liu Wenhao kept staring at the woods, Zhao Bin couldn't help but say, "There are many wild animals in that wood; we'd better not go in."

Liu Wenhao was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected Zhao Bin to say such a thing. Wasn't Zhao Bin afraid that he might harm him?

He looked around and found only a few wild cats wandering about; there were no other animals. If Zhao Bin was telling the truth, then where had all the animals in the woods gone?

Liu Cheng walked up to Zhao Bin and whispered, "Actually, I didn't lie to you. There are indeed a lot of good things in that cave, and I don't know what they're used for. But I think that since we found that place here, it means that this place isn't a good place."

Liu Wenhao frowned. "You mean that cave?"

Liu Cheng nodded. "There are many dangerous things in there. And there are several mummies." As he spoke, he pointed to the depths of the forest.

Liu Wenhao followed his gaze and saw a cave in a corner of the forest. The cave was very well hidden and could easily be overlooked if one did not look carefully.

"Have you been to that cave before?" Liu Wenhao asked, looking at the grove of trees.

Liu Cheng shook his head. "No, neither Zhao Bin nor I went in."

Zhao Bin nodded. "There are indeed many dangerous things there. However, there is no one guarding the cave, so we think there shouldn't be any danger there."

"Did you notice anything unusual?" Liu Wenhao continued to ask.

Liu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "No, apart from that cave, there is nothing else unusual."

Liu Wenhao remained silent. He knew Zhao Bin was telling the truth. If anything unusual happened, they would definitely inform him. After all, his strength was undeniable, and no one dared challenge his authority.

But neither of them has mentioned this matter yet. Does that mean it has nothing to do with them?

As Liu Wenhao was pondering this, Liu Cheng suddenly spoke up, "I know what you're thinking. But I can tell you, I have indeed discovered something suspicious, but I don't know how to say it."

"Go ahead and say it, I'm listening," Liu Wenhao said calmly.

Liu Cheng looked around and then whispered, "I heard someone talking when I was sleeping last night. At first, I thought I was dreaming and didn't pay attention. But later, I found that the voice seemed to be getting clearer and clearer. I wanted to wake up, but I just couldn't."

"And then?" Liu Wenhao frowned even more.

Liu Cheng sighed, "The situation was very bad at the time, and I tried to find a way to leave. But no matter what I did, I couldn't break free from their control. I tried to push them away with brute force, but I failed."

"You had no chance to resist?" Liu Wenhao was taken aback.

Liu Cheng nodded. "Yes. I had no power to resist at the time."

"Why are you like this? Is someone controlling you?" Liu Wenhao frowned even more deeply.

Liu Cheng shook his head. "I don't know either, but one thing I'm sure of is that I'm not being controlled by anyone. If I were, I would fight back to the end."

"You mean you have no ability to resist?" Liu Wenhao asked, puzzled.

Liu Cheng nodded. "Yes. I had no power to resist their control at the time. That's why I was controlled."

Liu Wenhao glanced at him and realized that he wasn't lying.

It seems there's something fishy about this.

He didn't say anything more, but turned around and continued walking forward.

Zhao Bin and Liu Cheng exchanged a glance and followed.

Soon, they arrived at the small cave. Standing outside the cave, Liu Wenhao discovered that it was much larger than he had imagined.

"Is this the cave?" Liu Wenhao looked around but didn't find anything.

Liu Cheng nodded. "Yes, we went in once before. But it was too dark inside, and we didn't find anything."

"Have you been inside before?" Liu Wenhao asked Zhao Bin.

Zhao Bin shook his head. "I went in with him." He pointed at Liu Cheng.

"So, neither of you went into that cave?" Liu Wenhao asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Yes,” Zhao Bin said.

Liu Wenhao looked at Liu Cheng, hoping he could give an explanation.

Liu Cheng sighed, "I didn't go in at the time. The reason I didn't go in was because I had observed from outside the woods and noticed that all the animals had left. This seemed very strange to me, so I wanted to go and take a look."

"So how did you discover this cave?" Liu Wenhao continued to ask.
